The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 9

This week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy sees us call upon the services of West Brom’s young goal hero, while we also turn to the Tottenham and Everton midfields ahead of clashes with Newcastle and Burnley respectively.

West Brom’s home encounter with Crystal Palace brings Saido Berahino into our thoughts this week. The youngster’s goal against Man United last Monday took his tally to five strikes in four appearances at The Hawthorns this season, and with the Eagles set to be without both their first-choice centre-halves this weekend, he looks poised to get amongst the goals once again. Paddy are offering a hefty 18/1 on Berahino to score twice and the Baggies to keep out their opponents and we’re willing to shell out £3 for this one.

Next up, we head to the Lane, where Tottenham prepare to take on Newcastle. We’re backing the in-form Christian Eriksen as Spurs look to recover from their Etihad mauling – the Dane has scored three times in the last five, and with Paddy prepared to offer 8/1 on Eriksen to score and the hosts to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and hand over £4.

Finally, we place our faith in fit-again Ross Barkley as Everton roll up to Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon. As the treatment room empties, the Toffees are starting to find their domestic form and face a Clarets side that have leaked nine goals in their last three. Paddy are offering 8/1 on Barkley to score and an Everton clean sheet and we’re convinced enough to part company with our final £3.

    Can't believe how much luck this game involves.
    Aguero scores 4 and is big differential, Costa injured and they get easy swap.
    In top of that this idiotic price drop/rise system probably allows them to get Costa back cheaper than they sold him.

    So Costa -> Pelle (-4) ? 🙂

      Yeah that Costa (C) to Aguero (VC) was a kick in the stones, particularly as a non-Costa owner... sooooooo many people got lucky with that

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. He could have so easily come off for a 1 point cameo.

        I had Costa to Tadić as autosub... Very fortunate
        Now I can never bench Tadić again.

          I don't begrudge you those points as you were right to captain Costa over Tadic. It's the owners who captained Costa over Aguero that I feel are luckiest, even though you ended up scoring more from it. In my opinion, they were wrong to captain Costa over Aguero and that's why they were lucky.

          1. BobbyV
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I agree. Well said!

    2. MG7

      i have bring in aguero...costa out....costa was costing me so much money plus i fear aguero to do the same thing as previous week.....though it took me -4 to do that but i think players i have brought in will recover.

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes it's a good decision. I am only whining because it was So easy decision, think how much more difficult it had been if Costa Played some minutes last week 😉

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yes

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm too stubborn/stupid to do it.

  2. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Berahino + Hazard
    or
    Sakho + Fabregas

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

      They are on peno's too

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one! First two are on pens though so that swings it I reckon

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      a

    4. Dier Straits

      This week - First
      Future - Second

  3. bob500
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If I'm gonna take a 4 point hit would it be madness to swap in Pelle over Aguero (as in I either bring Pelle in or I bring Aguero in) if funds aren't a massive issue.

    1. Mr Sarcastic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not madness to bring in Pelle but it would be at the expense of Kun in this form

  4. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    who would you prefer:

    a. Kaboul/Rose
    b. Chambers +0.4?

  5. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Captain choice for this week is fascinating.
    Many good candidates this week and no super clear front runner:

    Siggy - home to Leicester - always capable for double digits at home, especially against bad defence
    Sterling - home to hull - great stats, should explode at some point - but team is on iffy form...
    Pelle - form and fixture
    Kun - away game and slight game time questions prevent him from be the clear front runner

    Besides them there are some nice punts - tadic, Baines, even eriksen.

    Who is your captain?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Berahino at the moment

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Defiantly should be on the punts list also.

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kun

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Baines was to good to me+ don't have Kun.

      That saying is dead now isn't it?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kun is the obvious choice IMO.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Despite playing away and maybe not the full game?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep. He was so close to exploding in his last away game, and he's proven before that he doesn't need to play a full game to do well.

    5. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy. Due to reasons you have stated and a couple more

    6. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle

    7. Goku
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think Kun will start today and is an excellent choice for captain
      He scored a brace last season too at Upton park
      City are in good form and would like to catch up with CFC as they face Utd , Coz Cfc have a chance to slip up

  6. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    All set lads?

    Forster
    Baines Clyne Naylor
    ADM Chadli Siggy Sterling
    Aguero (C) Pelle (VC) Welbeck

    Bench: McCarthy Boyd Duff Moore

    Cheers.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yep excellent side

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. 5.1m in the bank too 😀

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years

          😯

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            😎

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yep I'm intrigued by McCarthy at home V Villa's 4 goals.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I think Green will start but yeah, I think I prefer Southampton's chances for a CS anyway,

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Baines. Check.
      3 Soton. Check.
      Aguero (c). Check.
      3rd def with favorable fixture. Check.
      4/6 top mids. Check.

      What could possibly be wrong?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Saniul 🙂

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would start McCarthy on the off chance he starts to hedge your soto defender

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Good call

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm I'm not sure I can rely on QPR's defence...

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Ye, risky I agree, I just like to spread the risk in the back

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks for the idea anyway!

        2. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah on second thoughts this might be the week Benteke gets off the mark!

    5. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep indeedy-looking great!

    7. RiflaFC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Im a bit sceptical about Welbeck. He didnt look good during Champions League this midweek...

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I know. Enough cash ITB to get Costa for free next week if I want.

        1. RiflaFC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I have 1 FT and considering doing costa to welbeck or berahino but dont have the balls to pull the trigger 😛

  7. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    My TV never somehow seems to rise.

    When there is a Costa to rise, there is an Austin/Eriksen to drop.
    When there is a Sterling to rise, there is a Davis to drop.

    Now when Aguero and Tadic rise, Costa drops.

    This way, I'll never have the cash I want by January.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      What's your TV?

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Zenith

      2. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        102.5.
        Most seem to have better TV than that.

        Actually it saved me my WC. I was planning on it during intl break, but then I couldn't have Baines and my favorite front 7, so just didn't activate.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Hmm yeah that does seem pretty low...

            What is yours?

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              104.7. Team above plus 5.1m ITB.

              1. Saniul
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                That is very good, I'd say.

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                I'm calling BS on that number, Innsie. No way you have made 9.8 in 8 gameweeks.

                Unless of course you mean your current TV is really 99.6, in which case I'm an idiot and we can just move on...

    3. ralfb

      you need sell players before they drop:-)

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years

        I won't do that at the expense of making hasty decisions.

    4. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Profit < Points ... don't worry about TV too much as long as your team is scoring points

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I know that. But still, with a TV around 104.0, it will help me work better around the January wildcard.

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, obviously. But you're still better off having points on the board and a little less money to spend in Jan... rather than waste points taking hits to increase TV, in order to buy more expensive players in Jan with no guarantee that they'll outperform the slightly cheaper options. Definitely Profit < Points for me

    5. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I never even look at mine. The people obsessing about TV value have cheap players who are scoring points now. In January there will be cheap players scoring points as well

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Neither do I, just an observation I'm making.

  8. Squeaky Bum Time
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any suggestions for this bunch?

    Krul / Foster
    Clyne / PvA / Jags/ Wisdom / Duff
    AdM / Fabs / Sterling / Siggy / Boyd
    Costa / Aguero / Welbeck

    Have 1 FT. Keep? Long term I will get Guzan in goals to free up 0.4m. Have 0.1m ITB.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      def PvA> Font or Clyne unless worried about 3 max on SH. IMO GL

      1. Squeaky Bum Time
        • 10 Years

        Yep been looking to ship PvA but don't want to double up on Saints def.

      Is it an international flight?

  10. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What d'yall reckon are the chances of a Chelsea clean sheet? And if I were to bench Ivan for Wisdom, would that make me a person of questionable morals? Just asking the tough questions here...

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A would say there's a good chance as Mourhino will park the bus after all he did it last year in the same fixture as I remember it being one of the worse games of the season.

      1. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        That's what I was thinking, but with Chelsea's back line conceding this year...

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Mourhino being Mourhino will be happy with a point he parked the bus at City this year

          1. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
            • 10 Years

    2. Darsh
      • 10 Years

      No clean sheet I reckon but play Ivan... You never know

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years

      wouldn't do that but I have LUIS 1st sub, so I hear you.

          I would

    5. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Toyed with going Pelle but can't bring myself to take it off Kun

    6. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero. I think I've captained him twice when Siggy has outscored him, looking for third time lucky

    7. BobbyV
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kun (c), Pelle (vc)

  15. Gooner97

      Save, looks good.

    2. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Well, both your keepers will concede, however I would play Mannone because he has a far better chance of earning save points, and last week's 8-goal fiasco was a fluke IMO.

      I definitely would trade Chambers up for a quality starter using your £0.5 ITB. Kaboul (TOT) is a good option at £5.0, or better yet, get Taylor (SWA) for £4.7. I would also consider Dawson (WBA) at £4.6.

      Otherwise your team looks pretty good.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers.

        Still worried to not own Baines or Pellè, but I really don't know who to sacrifice

        1. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Personally I don't own Aguero, and don't plan to wreck my team to get him at this point. I do own Pelle and Baines though, so I guess if that's who you want, I would have to say trade Aguero for Pelle (yes, I said it) and eventually trade Wilson for Baines.

  16. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Am I mad considering doubling up on Baines and Coleman?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nope.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        So Wilson > Coleman for -4 ? Don't fancy any of Moore, Duff or Wilson as my 3rd defender this week.

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Hmm it should pay off in the long run. Taking hits for defenders is frowned upon on here but I've done it plenty of times in the past and it's paid off so I say go for it.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks. Coleman and Baines are virtual wingers tho. Going for some breakfast while I mull it over.

    2. Saniul

      Nope, but a bit punty.

      No

    4. SENTI CAZORLA

      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have done it

  17. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which GK to get in long term, 5m or less? Not Forster.

    Have Gilks, so Heaton sensible, but thinking with Vlaar back, Guzan is the way to go?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Guzan or Foster

      1. MARVELLUS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Should have mentioned I have Wisdom, cheers.

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Guzan then 😛

  18. Jacques The Lad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who to play?

    Bruce Vlaar Wisdom Clyne Terry

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Last 3.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie

      WCT

      1. Jacques The Lad
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thought so, cheers

    3. Jacques The Lad
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking

      Krul
      Wisdom Clyne Terry
      Adm Haz Siggy Sterling
      Kun(c) Welbeck Pelle

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go for the last 3- Terry's got the scent of goal now after CL on midweek and Jose likely to park the bus if no Costa, so decent chance of a clean sheet. Tough call between him and Vlaar though

  19. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    At the current rate of sales Costa drops again tonight, Scary huh he 20% of the way there already in 4 deadzone hours

    What i cant understnd is why he has dropped so fast compared with Rooney and Mata
    Is itbecause wild card sales didnt count? Now hardly anyone selling on a wildcard all sales are counting against him

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Still on Siggy (C)?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        😀

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        My lips are sealed (for once)

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          That confirms it. Aguero it is. 😛

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Don't change it to Aguero. You will regret it 😉

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        My guess is Aguero.

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          There a small chance it could be on Siggi, i m trying my hardest to have the band on him in time for this crunch round

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Small chance? You're a little Mourinho.

    2. Jacques The Lad
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Could it be that its not just the total sales in the week but the frequency of sales as well?
      Plus Rooney went red straight away

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes maybe it not going red thats the reason

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      keeping him?

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Costa? i sold him for pelle,before the price drops

    4. jimski
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder if the higher you've risen, the easier it is to fall...

    5. TheInsideMan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think it has something to do with the initial ownership. Costa started at an ownership of about 40%. Then he rose to 68%. Therefore the range between 40% - 68% is the 'volatile range' where the threshold is low. But once it drops to the initial ownership (40%) the threshold will rise and the rate of price drop will reduce. Rooney and Ramsey started at about 40% ownership and did not rise much throughout, ie. little or no 'volatile range' which meant when they were ruled out their prices would not drop at a fast rate.

  20. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which two to bench?
    A) Wisdom (CRY)
    B) Hutton (qpr)
    C) Terry (mun)
    D) Chambers (sun)

    Captain?
    1) Pelle
    2) Agüero (brought him in for a hit so a haul as a captain would be nice but I'm slightly worried about his gametime)

    Thanks!

    1. ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      First of all, you MUST captain Agüero if you brought him in for a hit. Principles, man, principles.

      Definitely bench Chambers and Hutton out of those four, unless you think Villa can keep Vargas out, then I'd bench Wisdom.

    2. kalmoffit

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry for the repost guys but this little conundrum has been rattling around my brain all week.

    1) Chadli this week means I can have Hazard next week

    2) Eriksen this week means I can get Oscar next week

    Waddya reckon?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rather Hazard but 2 otherwise.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1)

      1. maglia rosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting Innsie so far every one has gone with the Hazard option.

  23. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bench in the right order?

    Marney/Duff/Dummett

    Cheers.

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. I'm playing Duff. Dummett on the bench behind my fifth mid; who is Isgrove, so won't bother the computer.

  24. greeno333

    need to replace Kompany , costa > ageuro

      jagielka or bertrand

      1. MG7
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        i have done that as well i need to bring in aguero....i replaced ivanovic and costa with bertrand and aguero.

        1. greeno333
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          i was thinking jagielka , but still unsure . i want betrand but can't as i have pelle, fonte, forster already

          1. MG7
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            yup jagielka is ok....i didnt bring him in because i was thinking barkley next week

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jagielka, Cresswell, Moreno

  25. The Machine

    Jeez costa slow down ffs

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Let the others get rid of him. I hope his ownership continues to drop, I don't care about his price.

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Just a little concerned about his price thats all. 0 retry sure he'll outscore welbeck over the next 3 . Already have pelle and aguero

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Realistically, will you ever get rid of Costa? Unless he gets injured for 1-2 months, he is staying in my team till GW 38. This is why price is no concern to me.

          1. The Machine
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Good point. No think there will come a point where I will have to take the chance yes

            Not even suarez could survive the axe from my team last season

      2. Van Dal
        • 14 Years

        Lol keep telling yourself that im sure you will convince yourself 😉

    Good to go lads?

    Forster

    Clyne Baines Hutton ( Pva chester)

  27. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    As a non Costa owner i hope he plays against utd, sure to tweak something before his sending off.
    Would rather his owners recieve a point or two than having a lucky big haul coming off the bench when he dosent play

    1. Gigging Order

      😕

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      But if he plays against United, what would have been the point of getting rid of him?

      1. Van Dal
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Points and profit

      2. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Don't encourage him 😉

      3. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Something about avoiding falls and pelle making him money as well as allowing him to get someone else in the midfield or at the back

    4. MG7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      even if costa is fit.....choose between aguero and costa?....have to go with aguero

  28. Gigging Order
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Right choices and order?

    Starting:

    Baines (bur), Hutton (qpr), N Taylor (LEI)

    Bench:

    (Duff (EVE), PVA (ARS)

    1. Gooner97

      Yes.

  29. Saniul

    A little help on my Fantrax draft team, please.

    Lloris,
    Lovren, Ivanovic, Gibbs,
    Milner, Henderson, Schneiderlin, Lamela,
    Ulloa, Berahino, Lukaku.

    Begovic, Dier, Obertan, Tomkins.

    Keep it that way? It is a terrible team, but I don't see any proper options around.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dier over Lovren/Gibbs

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years

        Even over Schneiderlin.

          Okay, thanks.
