The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Watford

Up next in our series of members articles, which assess the statistics behind the 2015/16 season, is Watford.

We start off by looking at the Hornets’ team data in Quique Sanchez Flores’ solitary campaign at the helm and compare them to the rest of Premier League. After that, we analyse their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for the season ahead.

Tipped for the drop by many last time out, the Hornets were quick out the traps and racked up eight wins and five draws in the first 18 Gameweeks. Although Flores’ side failed to maintain momentum over the rest of the season and managed just four victories and as many draws in the final 20 matches, they were never in danger of relegation and ended in thirteenth spot, eight points clear of the bottom three.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Here is my latest draft. What do you guys think?

    Forster(Sou) / Jakupovic
    Azpi / Gabriel / FunesMori / Evans / Friend
    Hazard / Mkhitaryan / Lamela / Gradel / Fletcher
    Aguero / Costa / Negredo

    0.5m ITB. Any ideas on how to spend it? Or should I keep it in the bank?

      Where is Willian?

      1. Eden Hazardous

        Tracking back to cover for Ivanovic.

    2. H-SF

      Not sure on Gabriel but other than that awesome draft!

      1. Eden Hazardous

        Thanks a lot. Its just that Gabriel as 5.0m Arsenal defender who is a BAPS whore is tempting.

      I like it. I'm thinking about Forster too - has a great mixture of easy fixtures and hard fixtures (for saves). Only thing is he's 0.5 more than Foster or Heaton.

      Defence is a bit pricey. Do we even know Funes Mori will start? And Arsenal's defence doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Maybe a wait and see situation.
      Mid is fantastic. Big fan of Gradel (awful fixtures though but he's class).
      Good front line. Wouldn't touch Costa with the new yellow card rule but he'll start strong with a good midfield behind him.

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for the detailed response.

        Exactly. I would love to have a GK like Forster getting double figure hauls every now and then. Worth the extra 0.5m
        Yeah , I know but dunno where to spend the bucks if not in defence. Any suggestions?
        You like Lamela as well?
        I wouldn't worry about the YC rule. Costa is quite intelligent and is one of the nicest persons off the pitch. Its all an act on the pitch and he will control himself if need be. 🙂
        Also , he is a bargain at just 9.5m imo

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah Lamela is pretty nailed and almost as creative as Eriksen.
          I'd probably ditch FM for a 4.5 and upgrade Gradel to Townsend or something

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I feel upgrading Gradel to Townsend will ultimately be a downgrade.

    4. Jafalad

      7 years, 9 months ago

      Where is Rufus Loftus Cheeky boy?

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Warming the bench. 😉

    5. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be wanting some LEI coverage in there personally - hul, SWA and BUR in the first 5 weeks. If it were me I'd do some of these:

      Costa -> Vardy (0.5)
      Mhki -> Mahrez (0.0)
      Haz -> KDB (0.5)
      Azpi -> Fuchs (-0.5)
      Lamela -> Tadic (0.5)

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Some Leicester coverage? 😉

        You are basically asking me to turn my 3 Chelsea players into 3 Leicester players! 😥

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Haha, maybe not all of them, but at least one for sure.

          LEI won the league for a reason, and it's pretty clear that Mahrez and Vardy will hog all the attacking returns. Costa and Haz could be great also, but with Bats, Willian, Fabs, Oscar, Pedro etc lurking, I'd rather wait and see how they line up and who looks the best to own rather than taking a stab pre season.

          Get Tadic though - he's a beast.

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Strongly considering Lamela > Tadic personally. Hmm..might just do it. 🙂

      2. Eden Hazardous

        Chelsea's fixtures - WHM wat BUR swa LIV
        Leicester's fixtures - hul ARS SWA liv BUR

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Pretty similar on the fixture front, but far less uncertainty for me. That being said, I currently have no CHE players, which is perhaps a bit light!

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Arsenal fans do hate Chelsea 😉

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              🙂

              Do you think Haz will retain pens this season? From memory he fell behing Costa, Oscar and Fabs in the pecking order, but I may be wrong.

    6. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      No Manure? FunesMori->Shaw / Darmian?

    7. Blurryface
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Was waiting for this. Looks good n different

  2. H-SF
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So this is my midfield:

    Mhki--" "--Hazard--" " (de Roon)

    Massivey torn between filling the gaps with:
    a) Nolito and Bojan
    b)Ayew/Siggy and Townsend

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B. Sig and 'Send.

    2. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B) is way more nailed on.

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      How about Mahrez and Feghouli?

  3. LFC Ranger
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    A or B?

    A)Wilson+sigurdsson

    B)Negredo+Ayew

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A. Son and Sson.

  4. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    A. Ibra / Watmore

    B. Kane / Gradel

    1. LFC Ranger
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B...from about week 10.

  5. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    I think I have finalised my front 3

    Aguero - Ibra - Negredo

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Good, good. Your milfs might be cheap and dirty though.

      1. KeepCalm
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No the defenders are cheap and dirty

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

    Which option:

    (A) KDB and Feghouli
    (B) Hazard and Bojan

    1. Zareos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Out of those two, A
      I have Haz and Feghouli

  7. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Eriksen or Firmino?

    Townsend or Deulofeu?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      F & T

      1. The Rock
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        +1

  8. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    How we doing? Changes? Recos?

    Foster - Jaku
    Walker - Shaw - Morgan - Fernandez - Wilson
    Coutinho - Mahrez - Townsend - Willian - Hojbjerg
    Ibra - Long - Aguero

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Punty midfield. Siggy/Ayew for Willian? Not sold on Cout either.

  9. bennyp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    RMT please lads, any feedback appreciated!

    Foster - Heaton
    Shaw - Morgan - Taylor - Friend - Stones
    Mahrez - Siggy - Eriksen - Capoue - Feghouli
    Aguero - Ibra - Long

    Thanks!

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Nice balance, good structure for an Aguerovich team.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I've gone Heaton/Pope to get Terry over Stones, if that interests you?

        1. bennyp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers. Hmm not overly fussed on Terry. But ill tinker! Hah

    2. Phnom_Penh_Andy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Good, solid, well-balanced squad there.

  10. Trigg ⭐️
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If Benteke goes to Palace, will all these 6.5m strikers get upgraded?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      surely the 1st bangwagon of the season if he does.
      % owner will hike to over 50% for sure.

      1. Graceless Goof
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Went so well last time he moved...

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          He went to a club that played the opposite to his style of play.

          Palace's play suits him down to the ground.

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Did CP not have most crosses of all the teams last season? If he moves Townsend becomes even more attractive as an option.

            1. Trigg ⭐️
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Yep, this would also be true.

  11. QPR expects... glory!
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Have any Watford fans on here given an update as to their team's style of play, progress, likely starting lineup, etc? If not, I can provide one Saturday after the QPR game.

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A Capoue evaluation would be very welcome! Great stuff, first hand knowledge is always a good thing.

      1. Phnom_Penh_Andy
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Yeh, which of Capoue or Watson look to bag the more points.

  12. RassDogg
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So this may have been asked several times but which one to have in my team:
    A Aguero
    B Zlatan

    1. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Sergio.

      1. RassDogg
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers! He's in!

    2. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      The one who isn't 35

      1. RassDogg
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Haha! Point! Although I think he will get some for e first few games!

    3. Inside Left
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not getting Ibra ownership. Assuming you need kun then it's just too heavy up top to spend 11.5 on a 35yo then won't play every game. Surely Kane a better option?

      1. RassDogg
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I'm not going for Kane until part way into the season, he looked tired during the euros and I think it will take him a w to get back on form!

    4. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Both.

      1. RassDogg
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        This may be the plan for the first 3 weeks! Then we might know which Liverpool attacker to go for!

  13. BB-8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Which option looks best? No other attackers from these teams

    A. Mahrez, Mkhitaryan, Long
    B. Mahrez, Deulofeu, Costa
    C. Tadic, Deulofeu, Ibrahimovic

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Inside Left
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A although deulofeu is having a good preseason.

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

  14. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    How do we think will be on pens for CHE?

    1. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Haz probably.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      New manager, who knows? Hazard, Costa, Fabregas all possibles. Batshuayi took a couple last season too.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        ...Lolkaku could be in mix as well.

      2. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        This

        All guesswork until Chelsea actually get a pen under Conte. Having said that , Conte will select the best pen taker and not just striker - basing this on the fact Bonucci was Italy's pen taker against Germany (Candreva when fit)

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Ahum... Zaza.

          1. Camp No No
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Believe it or not, he's a renowned penalty specialist. 😆

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7RIY-8wjpM

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I don't think Fabregas has missed many.

          For some reason people seem ambivalent about Fabregas at 7.5m. I don't get it. OK, maybe people don't see where he fits into Conte's system. But do they imagine him being benched and/or rotated? I don't think so.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I think (hope) people are waiting to assess the system and personnel employed rather than rejecting him as an option. I was VERY surprised at a £7.5m price tag, assuming he's nailed on and playing in the opponents half then he looks like a steal to me.

          2. Zikry
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I think Oscar would be a big threat to Cesc's playing time. Conte wanted/liked him while at Juve and I can see him playing the 10 if Conte chooses to go with 3 attacking mids (Hazard/Willian).

          3. Eden Hazardous
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I don't think he will have much joy in terms of output playing for Conte.

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              And I think he's on the edge of world class and that Conte's too good a manager not to know that.

              We'll see.

  15. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Name your best "value for money" player in each position, disregarding rotation.
    Mine are: GK:Mandanda, DEF:Funes Mori, MID:Bolasie/Bojan, FOR:Austin.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Foster, McAuley, Bojan, Deeney

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Foster
      JEvans
      Tadic
      Lukaku

    3. Inside Left
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Kind of the key to the key. I'd go foster, maybe deulofeu if nails down a place, beneteke (if he gets a move). Def I'm not sure yet.

    4. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Gk: Foster
      Def: Pieters
      Mid: Feghouli
      For: Long/Austin

  16. Kuqi Monster
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So wasilweski will start GW1?

    1. Phnom_Penh_Andy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Uncertain. The new boy Hernandez looked good in the last friendly.

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Unless they sign a new CB before the season starts it will should be Wasi starting GW1.

      1. Kuqi Monster
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        thanks both

  17. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Please RMT guys!

    de Gea - Forster
    McAuley - Paredes - Azpilicueta - Friend - Funes Mori
    Sigurdsson - Tardic - Martial - Eriksen - Townsend
    Aguero - Gray - Long

    Tear it apart!

    1. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd downgrade one of the front 8. Can see someone like Townsend/Gray scoring and being on bench! Also prefer
      Evans to McAuley
      Maybe Mkh to Martial
      Funes Mori start?

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Presumably you'll have one of Forster 5M, Long/Grey/Townsend 6.5M benched each week. That's a fair bit of dead money.

  18. Inside Left
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Be good to get some feedback on my team. Potentially WCing after GW3.

    Foster/heaton
    Azpi/friend/souare/fernadez/Wilson
    Haz/mhki/eriksen/deulofeu/capoue
    Kun/lukaku/wilson

    Eriksen and deulofeu better as 2x 7.5s? Downgrade azpi to shaw and then fernadez to 5?

    Thanks.

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

      Yes 2x 7.5 like Tadic, Fab, Barley w/his fixtures.
      Having said that I'm thinking Townsend>Deulofeu after recent reviews.

    2. Inside Left
      • 7 Years

      I do like tadic but slightly worried about new manager and system they'll play. Is Barkley and lukaku too much? I'd prob go for a siggy/ayew if go with 7.5s.

      I though deulofeu was having a good preseason?

        Deleufeu has been our best player so far, can see him playing in a number 10 role when Lukaku returns..

        7 years, 9 months ago

        Puel will play a 4312 with tadic as the 1 most likely which imo favours him giving him the licence to roam a bit more

      Souares offers no attacking threat and palace can't keep cleanies

      Thanks - interesting on Tadic.

      Any better options at 4.5 than Soares? Or downgrade Azpi to Shaw and find a 5? Maybe Stones or Funes mori?

    A or B? Thx

      A although will be interesting to see Che set-up and how Fab fits into it.

      Transfer dealings with Moyes could be interesting!

  21. Danstoke82

    Mkhitaryan or Mahrez?

    I don't own Ibra or Vardy btw so pondering some sort of LEI or Man U attacking cover

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Both?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cannot afford both as already have Hazard. Should I downgrade sonewhere in this team to get both?;

        Foster Jaku
        Shaw Friend Souare Naylor Morgan
        Hazard Mahrez Alli Townsend Hojbjerg
        Kun Lukaku Long

          Tough one....

          Alli->Mkhi
          Shaw->4.5m

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            4 X 4.5 defenders?

  22. KeepCalm

    who is the one 4.0m defender you guys think with the most chance of starting...

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      wasi for gw1, wilson at stoke may see some gametime, basically none are nailed but I always go for a 4m def at the start...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        7 years, 9 months ago

        Why? If they don't play they'll lose value

    2. Jönny

      Smith of Liverpool, meant to be moving to Bournemouth I believe.

      Yes, if not for anyother reason to show support for the guys running this page.

        Exactly this - small fee to pay to ensure that this website keeps going.

        It is also very good if you are the sort who likes to spend hours doing stats based tinkerings

      for me it is worth it for the season ticker alone. You can get as deep into stats and tables as you want.

    Morning fellas. Which one of these possible combinations sounds better for you?

    A) Eriksen, Deulofeu, Bolasie, Ibrahimovic
    B) Mkhitaryan, Ayew, Townsend, Lukaku

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B for me

    2. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B but it's a close call

    3. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B) Think Ayew, Town and Lukaku more proven
      Mkhit can be the gamble and less expensive than Ibrah

    4. MagicHatFab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      b

    5. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Absolutely no idea. Both look fantastic

    6. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I think a, though it's a close call.

  25. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Valdes - Jakupovic

    Azpilicueta - Shaw - Souare - Friend - Mee (3 way 4.5 rotation)

    Payet/Mahrez - Mkhitaryan - Ramsey (if fit)/Willian - Townsend - Hojbjerg

    Aguero - Lukaku - Negredo

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Valdes->foster

    2. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Like the Rambo shout. Values not so sure about, think Foster or Heaton are better calls

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yesterday was a lot talk that Souare isnt nailed

  26. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    We seem to be spoiled for choice in the 6.5 forward bracket. Similar story in midfield. Now, the only question remains - Zlatan or Kane?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      If Zlatan hits the ground running, it's hard work to get him in.

      I'm starting with him. He will have big ownership, too. Boring, but playing it safe at the start.

    2. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Concern over Kane's form the last few months. I've gone Mkhi over Ibra though

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Zlatan because he's a better player and Kane looked exhausted at the end of the season.

  27. BOOM XHAKALACA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Zlatan or Henrikh?

    1. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mkhi

  28. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Please rmt. Will tinker with defence a bit more but will risk a GK and 2 defenders at 4.0. Ivan is in there as he always seems to score at start of season. But maybe I got that wrong. Anyway what ye think?

    Foster (WB) Jaku
    Ivanovic Wimmer Friend 4.0 4.0
    Fischer Mkhitarian Hazard Alli Tadic
    Kun Carrol Benteke(if CP)

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely not 2 4.0 defenders.

      One injury/random dropping and you're playing with 10.

      Also, who are you going to bench from midfield in GW1? If Fischer, just get a 4.5 mid and improve your defence.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Fischer is a punt I like. But you are right re bench headache. Wimmer can be Walker with the 1 mil saved. Mmm

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Wimmer isn't your problem, your two 4.0 defenders are your problem.

    2. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Really like the midfield. I'd go Ayew over Alli if he's playing up front though.
      Wouldn't go for Carroll

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Carrol

      Euuughhh!

    4. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Will rethink Carroll. Thanks

  29. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Pick two premium defenders to start for the first few weeks..

    A) Shaw (bou, SOU, hul)
    B) Fuchs (hul, ARS, SWA)
    C) Azpi (WHM, wat, BUR)

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      To have*

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Only first 3? B C

    2. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw and Azpi for me.

      Well, I have Shaw and Terry, as Zouma is still out.

    3. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw and azpi.

  30. FantaCity
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Has anyone identified a starting 4m defender yet?
    Only possible I can see is Lenihan of Hull due to their injury problems, but you'd probably still never play him ...

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      look up...
