FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Results and Fifth Round Draws

Our two Premier League cup competitions have reached the last 32 stage – time to take a look at the some of the key Round Five encounters.

Our open-to-all cup’s only former winner, Mark, marches on, after seeing off What Divock?! to set up an encounter with 22,229th-ranked hishamkmr. With a 468 rank, Mark looks the favourite to proceed into the sixth round.

Another manager to draw the short straw and face a top 500 manager is the 21,317-placed Not Much Klopp, who takes on 339-ranked NUFC Fifer -the contest’s highest remaining manager.

Among the other eye-catching ties is the contest between Bake Baines on toast and My Pretty Pony (aka Peter Kouewenberg), who along with Mark is another representative of our live Hall of Fame Top Ten.

Peter’s 817 rank puts him in the driving seat for this encounter, given his opponent is 89,964 places below him.

The full Fifth Round draw can be found here.

At 88th in the world Pukka is the highest-placed remaining competitor in the Members Cup and takes on the 57,394th-ranked rogerbarton in the last 32.

Hana, who is 106 in the world, defeated Fenghh, the conqueror of former winner Trigg in Round Two, and next takes on Choppers13, who is another highly-placed manager, with a rank of 1,242.

Elsewhere, Round Four’s community writers derby saw Kryten emerge victorious over TopMarx. His reward is a match-up with Tramp, who at 70,119 is 53,496 places behind him.

De Ennet, who is 15,780 in the rankings, beat RoysCallerAnne and takes on another community regular in the next round, the 56,691-placed Rossendale Rover.

The full Fifth Round draw can be found here.

There is £350 in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk vouchers up for grabs for the final top three managers in both tournaments.

Good luck to all those involved and if you would like more information on the schedule and prizes, click this link.

    Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic

    DGWK midfielders

    Yesterday's Scout Squad article revealed that widespread apathy around the midfield options among Manchester United, Boro and Palace's ranks.

    While Zaha was backed by all of us, the only other mention was for Lingard - as a differential.

    Are you similarly unimpressed by the DGWK 34 centre of the park options?

    Or are you investing heavily in DGWK midfielders?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha & Townsend

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha only on WC.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I looked at options like Mikhi and Herrera but the rotation fear kills it.
      Might just double up on Townsend lol.

    4. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha only for me, can't drop any of Sanchez Alli and Coutinho considering their fixtures

    5. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      None, only looking at strikers, defenders and possibly a gk

    6. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha only. Ali, Eriksen and Sanchez for me still offer bigger points in a SGW. Ali (c) currently.

    7. djpete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Simply too many good options especially in a 3-4-3

      Who to bench out of: Zaha, Siggy, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen ?

      1. djpete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        (no room left for dgwers)

          Got to be Siggy in recent form!

              Looks like the only choice really. Still, Siggy will be the best sub I've had all season!

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                We all like Siggy, I just don't trust SWA anymore. 🙁

    8. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Very tempted with Herrera or Lingard, to come in for Siggy. But rotation risk has stopped me so far

    9. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      De Roon for me (hope that 'll play).

    10. Rossonero
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I was thinking about Ramirez but he didn't impres me in Arsenal game and he tends to be subbed of early so i gave up on him.

      Just Zaha for me

    11. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Last season Townsend was widely backed in the run in. And to my amazement he did really well. One or two of Cabaye, Zaha or Townsend could work.

    12. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I'm content with Ibra and Zaha. I stupidly bought Barnardo last week thinking he was nailed but if he doesn't play I'm not hugely bothered

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        So just the one midfielder to answer the question. (And a striker too)

    13. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I have zaha. I just don't see anyone else with 2 games getting in over Sanchez king Alli... this DGW is destined to be the biggest anti climax so I'm not worried...yet

      Ps Jonty you pronounce my name Po-vey-lia...not the easiest...;-)

    14. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Thing is who in our midfield isn't performing? Not gonna drop Sanchez spurs Liverpool hazard king. Siggy owners could punt I guess but I'd prob rather keep him. Therefore don't really care bout the dgw options, Zaha plenty for me

    15. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Utterly bemused by them all to be honest. Palace tough fixtures and midfielders are too hit and miss. I also have Benteke and PVA so don't want to triple up. United far too inconsistent to go near any of their midfielders. Middlesborough are less appealing than most mids with a sgw. Also, alot of people have a bench headache this week as it is, a Boro midfielder would make the decision easy.. ie.. Bench DeRoon

    16. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Townsend clocks up the bps and is likely to be a decent punt if bonus points if he gets the odd assist or goal

    17. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Just Zaha and there is no way I am taking a hit for another With Alli (cpl), Siggy (STO) and Sane (MUN). I think many are in the same both with good fixtures for Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.

    18. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I've backed zaha and Townsend:

      Good palace form
      Strong statistics for both
      Not completely safe just yet
      Guaranteed both matches (bar injury)
      Giant killers, wouldn't be surprised at returns against pool and spurs
      Crucially for me, good fixture the following week.

      Anyone else like downing or a united player is a bit punty even for me

    19. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      There's only three dgw midfielders on the current Watchlist: Zaha, Lingard and Townsend. That probably tells its own story.

      The real issue is that this season has been won by those who have packed their midparks with quality players and there are a number of those players who have better prospects despite having only one game.

      Does anyone really want to get rid of Alli, Hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, Coutinho, King et al for this dgw?

    20. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I'm either gonna get Firmino or Zaha with my free transfer, leaning towards Firmino at the moment.

    21. jamie1972
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Already have Zaha and de Roon (been a season long enabler up till now, never considered playing him before now, and even with the DGW i'm still a bit torn) will use my ft elsewhere though so to answer the question, no.

      Had Mata been an option I would have considered him but nothing else even remotely stands out..

    22. Swansea Bloke
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I think I'm going in with only Zaha in attack. 3 DGW defenders and Zaha. No Zlatan (May consider him if Utd lose tonight). Would have to take a hit to get him in and he may not start both games. I feel my team is strong enough to dodge too much damage seen as this DGW is rubbish for options.

    23. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Can only see some good options in defence and maybe an attacker from those teams having a DGW, going with Hennesey, Valencia, Rojo and Ibra atm. My midfield is currently beeing made up by Cout, Sanchez, Alli, King and Siggy with whom i am quite happy with, and with no WC left I can´t afford to make unnecessary moves. Siggy will probably be Sane from GW35 anyway, and it will be much easier to swap from Siggy to Sane than Zaha to Sane, with their respective fixtures in mind-).

    24. Samurai Blue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha only. Same thoughts as my fellow friends above.

    25. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Zaha and De Roon here. May use BB this week, uninspiring though it seems, as I have already used WC (dont want to say blown as it was very much needed and got my season back on track) and I happen to have quite a few DGW players in my squad - more by accident than design!

    26. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I've had De Roon as 5th mid for ages so will be playing him. Not interested in any others.

      Hey KoL,

      Thanks. Just to be clear, does this mean that you are looking for teams who are not WCing in GW36 (ahead of GW37)..

      So, if I were to WC during 35, ahead of 36, and BB during 36 ahead of 37, then this is OK?

      I understand that the above is the template for teams looking to BB in massive DGW 37, so I presume this is what you are after.

      Hello KoL!

      I have this silly doubt - not wildcarding in GW 36 means

      1) I am eligible if I use my wildback before GW 36 deadline

      2) I am eligible if I use my wildcard after GW 36 deadline

      Thanks 🙂

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Hey mate, im essentially looking to get as many entrants who are not WC36 and BB37.

        If you use your WC before the GW35 deadline you are eligible.

        1. AA33
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Thanks. But which option (in my post) is correct? 1) or 2)?

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            1 providing your not WCn for GW36.

    19. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Interesting to read from last year that the evidence points towards an early WC that can yield increased returns over multiple gameweeks, and yet wc36 bb37 is being staunchly championed again.

      1. RedLightning
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Every year is different.

        Last year the FA Cup semi-finals were in GW35 instead of GW34.
        This resulted in 1 additional match in GW33, 5 additional matches in GW34, 3 matches being rearranged from GW35 to a different GW, and 4 additional matches in GW38.
        The popular choice was to play WC in GW32 or 33, BB in GW34 and TC in GW37, but playing TC in GW34 and BB in GW37 may have turned out even better.

        This year there is no blank GW35 and DGW34 is far less attractive, so many of us played their TC in DGW27 instead.

        If Wildcarding early, you should really have done it already. Some have already reaped benefits from playing it early but may suffer later. It remains to be seen whether they gain or lose on balance. It is certainly not a good idea to waste your wildcard now on bringing in lots of Palace and Boro players for DGW34.

        In the case of my own team, there are very few changes I would want to make for DGW34, but I expect to make about 11 changes when I play my wildcard in GW36. My current squad is far superior for DGW34, and my wildcard squad should be far superior for GW36-38. My current squad also appears to be slightly better than the wildcard squad for GW35, so there would be no advantage for me to wildcard earlier.

        1. Kings of Lyon ★

          Disagree with " It is certainly not a good idea to waste your wildcard now on bringing in lots of Palace and Boro players for DGW34."

          Im on WC and have planned a GW34 WC for a while, using free transfers and your bench you can get good CPL and MID enablers who can also be used in BB

          CPL (HUL)
          MID (SOT)

            I still think that for my squad a wildcard in GW36 will get me significantly more points in total than one in GW34, but Zlatan's injury may persuade me to bring it forward to GW35. My ideal squads for GW34 and for GW35 or 36 on are very different.

            I expect to have two or three players from Palace and Boro for GW34, but do not think it is worth a wildcard or additional hits to bring in any more than that. And I probably wouldn't even want that many if it wasn't for the injuries to Andy Carroll and Zlatan.

            A small number of Palace or Boro players may be worth considering for my later wildcard squad, but none of them are in my current draft.

              After further investigation, I have changed my mind. I find I can get a much stronger wildcard squad than I thought in GW34 without ruining my GW36 squad or loading up on too many players from Boro and Palace, so my wildcard is now active. I don't know why it took me so long to come to this conclusion!

      Hi Kings of Lyon
      Hope everything goes well for OL this evening and we go through... safer than last week obviously 🙂
      Very good idea to go for a second shot of GOWAB.
      Unfortunately I'm not eligible as I still have my TC chip in hand 🙂
      Just for my information, can you please explain the rationale behind the decision to restrict the analysis to people not WCing in 36 and with only the WC/BB combo left ?
      Thanks 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Probably WC in 35, BB in 36 and TC in 37.
        Or the other way around...

          Hey Gilles, the league is open to people WCing in 36 but I thought it skew the number of entrants. I will likely open up the league to all tomorrow. The reason for no TC is that it gives you an unfair advantage on others, want to keep this is as consistent as possible.

      Cheers KoL- I'm in. WC & TC already blown and might use BB this week as I have 2 Boro, 2 Man U & Zaha and still have 1FT which I'll probably use to double up on United defence

      Due to Ibrahimovics injury I am now opening up the Going out with a Bang II league to everyone who does not have their triple captain left to play.

  5. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Can`t stop thinking about it, help, which pair will score more?

    1) Townsend, Ibra
    2 Sanchez, Negredo +4 points

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      2

    2. Peps Pups
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      2

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Alonso -> Gibson this week?

    Playing WC in GW36 and won't be getting Alonso back anyway

  7. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    a)Play Yaku or Heaton?
    b)Best one to cpt:Alexis - Kane or Lukaku?

  8. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    What scores more?

    A - Jaku (WAT) then Foster (LEI)

    B - De Gea (bur) (mci) (SWA) -4

  9. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Obiang -> De Roon? -4

    With the dgw De Roon will probabily give me 4 points in return and I have lost Obiang for it.
    But that also means I need to bench one of Son, Alli, Zaha, Coutinho or Luk, Kun, Benteke..

    Or

    Play AOA with Valencia and Cahill and keep Baines and Davies benched...

    So maybe not a really good plan..

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      DeRoon? Seriously. And bench one of the above. Simple no from me.

      Bench Obiang and hold the hand of points please

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah I will 🙂 Just so annoying that Obiang is out for the rest of the season

  10. Pep says
    • 8 Years

    Anyone considering Man City as a GK option, your hereby warned

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah Pep said that last week. Getting a City GK is plain stupid now.

  11. King Henrik
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Lingard
    Herrera
    Townsend

    0.1 short for Zaha.

    Which one would you go for ?

    1. Peps Pups
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Townsend safer, Lingard is a good differential but could lack match time when compared to townsend

  12. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Good morning all - two questions if I may! 1) should I ditch lukaku or Sanchez for ibra? (Don't have Kane)? 2) if I can't afford Gibson whose the next safest mid defender to pick?

    1. Swansea Bloke
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Personally I wouldn't get Lukaku out before he's due to play West Ham!

      Apparently Chambers is fit and ready to come back and will be nailed on...Apparently

  13. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    If Valdes is out, worth doing > De Gea -4? Also have Valencia

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Depends, who is your other gk?

    2. K-win

      Debating this move for free...

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I have Heaton and Valdes and considering the same transfer if Valdes is out. DeGea has another DGW coming so its worth a hit I think.

  14. DaddyPig
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Good morning!

    So alongside Kane, who would you rather have up front this week..

    Either would be for -4

    A) Ibra and Negredo

    Or

    B) Aguero and Lukaku

    Thanks!!

    1. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Sorry, I already own B it should say.

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Keep Lukaku, ship Aguero for Ibra?

      1. DaddyPig
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Thanks mate! Good advice!

  15. Jack Irish
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Bench 1 out of De Roon and Sane....?

    thanks in advance.

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      sane

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Probably Sané. Don't see him doing anything against United

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      bench de Roon. Sane plays as a forward for a high scoring City team, he has started the last 10 or so matches and is in fine form.
      De Roon is a Central midfielder for a low scoring Boro team and hardly ever scores, the last goal was miles offside and should not have been given. Two good fixtures, granted, but still less likely to get something.

    1 FT

    What to do? Stil have WC
    A. Grant -> Valdes?
    B. Sterling -> Townsend (Benching headache)
    C. Amat -> Gibson

    Pickford (Grant)
    CHAMBERS VALENCIA Luiz (Holebas, Amat)
    ZAHA Siggy King Ali (Sterling)
    IBRA(C) Lukaku Kane

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Hennesy or DeGea if Valdes is out. Don't take a hit past that

  17. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    A) Walker > Bailly/Gibson (have Valencia)
    B) Sterling >Townsend (have Zaha and keep Walker)
    C) Walker + Barnes out > Bailly/Gibson + Negredo (-4)

    Thoughts much appreciated.

  18. Sterling Chap
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    For a -4...

    A) Siggy > Zaha
    B) Kun > Kane

    Jaku
    Gibson Alonso Valencia
    Eriksen Alli Siggy King
    Ibra(c) Lukaku(vc) Kun
    Foster / T.Carroll / Yoshida / Amat

    1. Peps Pups
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      B) but both aguero and kane have a good chance score, kane has it easier against cp though

    Lukaku Kane

    Discuss...

    1. Andrew
      • 12 Years

      Alexis over Mane surely

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Wouldn't swap toby or vertical for cahill personally, but not a bad selection.

      Mane v alexis a question I suppose.

      1. how now brown cow

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      lloris
      Alders VVD Azpi
      Kante dembele
      Mane Alli Hazard
      kaku

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        Missed Walker

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Lord Heaton!!!!

      And Alexis of course

    5. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      God team that.

      Not De Gea. Heaton has to be the GK. Otherwise it looks like a good team, I would want Zlatan but hard to argue against Lukaku and Kane.

      Azpi surely worth a spot though.

    6. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Heaton
      Walker Luiz Cahill Azpi
      Sanchez Kante Alli Hazard
      Kane Lukaku

    7. theBoose
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I'd personally go with..

      Heaton
      Walker Azpi Vertonghen Alonso
      Kante
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen
      Lukaku Kane

  20. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Zaha or Benteke for the DGW?

    1. Peps Pups
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Already had Zaha, but I would choose Benteke if i didnt have zaha, not both

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      zaha

  21. Peps Pups
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Is it worth a hit for Foster > Hennessey ?
    Already used my free transfer for Carroll > Negredo
    Who to captain?

    Current XI
    Heaton
    Gibson* Valencia* Alonso
    Zaha* Sanchez Coutinho Eriksen
    Negredo* Kane Lukaku

    Bench: T.Carroll, Mawson, Holgate

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd say yes

  22. johnnymorrocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Anybody know why the prices have frozen? Zlatan at >250% required to increase and been over 100% for three days now. Not the only one either, Gibson has been >100% for a few days too

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years

      FFF is rubbish

          By far

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      It's because of dgw. Different thresholds, add to that quite a few wc's.

      Plus fffix is rubbish.

          06 Mar: The DGW affects price rise thresholds. We pointed this on our Twitter feed on 22nd April 2015 while others said "it was wildcards". It is not a new rule. It is under investigation how to exactly correct for this, but it is likely that thresholds are doubled in the GW before a DGW.

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Yes. The thresholds are doubled for DGWs. So he needs twice the amount of transfers to rise.

      We don't know how price rises work, FPL statistics are making their best guess and they are right about 95 % of the time, but that means they also are wrong quite often.

    Was trying to come up with the worst XI of regular starters (prem) last night with friends, with maximum 1 player per team. Very tricky. Any takers? I'll post mine in a bit.

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Stewart Downing.

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Jason Puncheon (The worst).

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Randolph takes the Gk spot

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I am cheating with Bravo, but Masuaku is so horrible he just needs to take that West Ham spot.

    4. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      OK, made an attempt. Don't think I watch enough football to actually make a good comment, but here it goes:

      Bravo*

      Barragan - Kone - Mawson - Masuaku

      Downing - Xhaka - Can - Gudmundsson

      Redmond - Afobe

      * granted, an irregular starter

    Can someone provide some details about what happens if Ibra is captained and doesn't play one or both of his matches. Will it make a difference if the autosub is another DGW player?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      If he plays a second of the 180mins you'll have him as captain. If not then same as any other week

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        This. If he doesn't play at all in any of the matches, your Vice captain takes the armband and your first sub is subbed on, same as always.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Same rules as every week. As soon as Zlatan sets foot on that pitch you get his points and no one elses

      Just sit tight and wait for Özil.

    been very out of the fpl loop for a couple of weeks, so this may explain the following question.
    but i've come back and kane is being talked about as completely essential.
    did he not just get his first post-injury haul in his best remaining fixture of the season?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      First 90 min game.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        are they? liverpool are the lucky ones who get the sakho-less palace. who you'd also rather have at home. same as hull, much more stubborn on their own patch. west ham looks good even if reid will be back by then. tottenham are the best team in the league right now, by miles, but those fixtures could be better.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          loves scoring in London Derbies 😉
          Hull good at home but still expect Spurs to roll them.over easily ...Plus tough fixtures are at home...

      2. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Not really - home games against decent teams and away games aren't the easiest. Tottenham are rampant but the fixtures aren't sweet.

      Yep, I was lucky to get a goal an assist in three games I owned him. Don't know how he managed to play 2 games without an injury last year when I TC-ed him, oh wait, he returned 3 points, not much difference. 🙂
