The Digest – Gameweek 5

A Baggies attacker, a consistent Everton and a volatile market that’s showing the door to a goalscoring legend. We say goodbye to Gameweek 5 with a tale of the unexpected…

The Player

Immediately filed under “promising, must monitor”, Nacer Chadli was always going to be an interesting option once he’d made the move to West Brom.

An erratic Fantasy asset while at White Hart Lane, the Belgian nonetheless demonstrated the ability to spark to life in the box, raiding for goals and suddenly turning a forgettable average six out of ten performance, into a match-winning display.

That wasn’t the case in Gameweek 5.

On Saturday, the Baggies record signing carried the game to West Ham from the kick-off; Chadli single-handedly transformed West Brom from a ponderous, impotent attacking force to a team that bristled with threat.

His two goals and two assists have immediately brought him to the attention of the masses but, distracted by leading lights elsewhere, he’s yet to register the transfer interest Saturday’s points tally deserves.

We still have reservations. It’s still difficult to trust West Brom’s potential to score goals: we can hardly make a judgement based on a single performance against a beleaguered Hammers defence.

But with penalty duties unexpectedly tucked away in his locker, Chadli is clearly alive and back in the game.

Another handy mid-price candidate to call upon once West Brom’s schedule softens.

The Team

Five Gameweeks in and Everton’s recognition as a Fantasy force is already long overdue.

While Everton barely had to break into their third gear to see off Middlesbrough, it’s clear that they have become a very different proposition under Ronald Koeman. The Dutchman has revived their Fantasy assets.

We’ve already dwelt on the appeal of Romelu Lukaku.

While we remain wary of a player that has teased us for so long, his displays and output thus far have given us every reason to believe that we will see him make another stride towards genuine heavy-hitter status. A true challenge for the Golden Boot is on – 25 goals perhaps a realistic target.

But the supporting cast also warrants attention.

At the back, Seamus Coleman’s fine opener against ‘Boro was his reminder of his six-goal season back in 2013/14.

While we’re willing Leighton Baines to rediscover his returns from bygone years, Coleman has the legs on the left-back and could yet emerge as the stronger option.

Then we add Ashley Williams – a statistical monster who can potentially offer an even cheaper route into covering Everton’s new level of resilience.

In midfield, Koeman has added Yannick Bolasie on the right and appears to be investing faith in Kevin Mirallas on the opposite flank.

Both have the talent to provide us with mid-price options – particularly for those who still baulk at the concept of Ross Barkley following Lukaku’s lead in shaking off his frustrating inconsistencies.

The Talking Point

The mighty really are falling.

Eden Hazard’s price has tumbled 0.2 in the space of 48 hours with thousands of owners panicked at his meagre returns with Manchester City’s midfield assets sparkling.

Three points over his last two Gameweeks, plus an alarming decline in his underlying numbers, has provided the catalyst for what some would describe as a knee jerk reaction.

Last season’s decline will have also spooked some – we’ve seen how severely Hazard can regress; three encouraging Gameweeks has clearly not been enough to win back our trust.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is close to mirroring Hazard’s sudden collapse.

Triggered by Manchester United’s current malaise and Sergio Aguero’s return, Ibrahimovic is being mercilessly shown the door at pace, despite returning a goal or an assist in four of his five Gameweeks.

It fits the profile of the season discussed in last week’s ScoutCast.

The transfer activity of the last ten days is typical of a campaign that will see heavy-hitters frequently slide in and out of favour.

Last season we sat on the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Dele Alli because they provided such value: we were wary of selling them and absorbing a big cash loss and, given their price and a lack of alternatives, we could afford to sit tight.

With big funds tied up in both Hazard and Ibrahimovic, this is not the case. FPL managers will feel compelled to act quickly, driven by a market where every 0.1 counts.

The money tied up in failing heavy-hitters can be used to carry out significant surgery, or to move to the next big name edging into form and rising in price. There’s been a constant supply of those so far.

Regardless of the trend, many will sit still, discounting toughening fixtures for both Hazard and Ibrahimovic, backing them to punish the fickle amongst us.

It remains to be seen who will win out. But one thing is certain: the short-lived shelf life of the big hitters is already making for a fascinating season.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    My WC team. Any comment, good or bad is welcomed.

    Foster, Jaku
    Coleman, Walker, Holebas (Kelly, Amat)
    Firmino, Sterling, Capoue, Antonio (Puncheon)
    Lukaku, Aguero, Ibrahimovic

    Thanks. 0.0 itb.. struggling to turn Puncheon to Snoddy (who will help my TV in the long run)

    1. gwitbrock

      Foster to pickford? or Coleman to Williams which I'm not keen on. Firmino to Coutinho also an option

      1. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I would do Foster to Pickford.

      2. Live Lad

      Need Arsenal cover i think .Taking out Sterling as you have Kun might be the only real option available to do it.

      1. Emp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        'cover' is not a thing at all...

        1. COYS Down Under
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This.

          I'd rather get in on 80% of Man City's goals by having Sterling and Aguero than get in on 1/3 of Liverpool's goals by getting Firmino.

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            You think Sterling gets 1/3 then?

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years

        Should I lose Ibra then? to have ARS

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

          Based on fixtures ( which I hope are a thing) 😉 yes Sanchez for Ibra.

    3. OzilFozzil
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lacks Sanchez, have you seen Arsenal fixtures, he will run riot!

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I did check the fixtures. Zlatan has 2 home games while Sanchez has Chelsea (albeit home) and Burnley away. Plan to swap after Manu vs Stoke.

      Defense is poo.

      Fabregras HAS to start

      Chelsea has a fight in them and is able to come back from being down

    5. LeicesterA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      In terms of fantasy football, not a lot.

      With only 3 players who are likely to start at the weekend starting for either side, it was just an entertaining showcase of B sides.

      Chelsea need the cup run more than Leicester though, that was evident.

      Fabregas put his hand up, but to answer your question - pizza

    8. Don Look Back in Wenger
      • 15 Years

      i didnt. turns out everything sold out

  3. SpaceCadet

    Guys any chance coutinho gets benched this gw? Got him in for a hit and really hoping he starts

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Always a chance.

    2. kingcairo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think you should just stick with one liv mid

    3. Don Look Back in Wenger
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yeah think its likely with all3 lallana sturd and mane were rested midweek

  4. Agueerrroooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Sanchez + Barry
    B) Sterling + Antonio

    If I go without Sanchez, I go without Arsenal's cover

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Overall B bring more, but would you bench Barry?

      1. Agueerrroooo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, bench fodder.

        I am inclined towards B

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would Barry be your 5th mid? If so A. If not B.

      1. Agueerrroooo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez to cover up points for Sterling and Antonio! Cheers matey

      2. OzilFozzil
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This!

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Let's just say Walcott does well this week and looks nailed how about this City and Arsenal double up attack team. WB and WAT defence rotation looks ok too and Benteke could become whoever maybe Rashford.

    Heaton Jaku
    Bellerin Coleman Evans (Holebas Amat)
    Sanchez Firmino Antonio Sterling Walcott
    Kun Bentenke (Diomande)

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thats a bad idea.Walcott is poo. Santi is better

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I disagree completely with that.

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. Care to explain what Walcott has done in the last 10 seasons to make him a better player than Santi?

          1. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            His ppg are better.
            He plays far higher up the pitch.
            He shoots more.
            Santi might have lost pens.
            His underlying stats are better this season thsn Santi.
            He has played every game.

            1. Mayor of Flair
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              It's Walcott though. Such a crushingly disappointing player.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Walcott points per minute every year is so good just does not play enough minutes.
        Can't afford Santi this is zero ITB

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I know Dionande is a bench player but I dont like teams with him in.saying thst I do like your mid and def.

  6. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So Wildcard V3. Happy with all...but Lovern does nag away at me....no cash to spare.

    Likey or No Likey?

    Jak - Pick
    Coleman - Walker - Lovern - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Sterling - Firminio - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Aguero - Lukaku - Janssen

    1. Agueerrroooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Like the Janssen punt

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He is easy to downgrade if things go awry. I am not sold on Deeney.

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I like it, personally think that Coleman is better than Baines

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That was my thinking. And a little cheaper.

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Janssen is a nice punt. Spurs right at the top with GA's, just a pity they are way down with SoT.

      I prefer a punt on Bony.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe thry need a chsnge of striker to improve thst stst 😉

    4. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not template and I like the punts. Considering how hard the fixtures have been liverpool have not conceded that many so Lovern worth a punt.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think you might be right. Limited attacking threat but he is good value and you are right about goals conceded. I like a couple of punts without going ott.

  7. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who are the best 4.5 or similar defs?
    I currently have friend and holebas...
    Thanks!

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Evans

  8. George James
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Cech (Pickford)
    Walker Baines McAuley (Amat Holebas)
    KDB Firminio Antonio Capoue (Snodgrass)
    Kun Deeney Lukaku

    1m ITB

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation between Capoue and Snodd?

    2. Agueerrroooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      GTG

  9. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Costa Hazard Ibra Bojan > kun Firmino mane Deeney (-12)

    Done

    There are chances of it working well
    Isn't it?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only really needed Kun and Mane

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Getting rid of Costa seems a bit odd

  10. Win'dian
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pls suggest guys...

    My wk5 team..
    Foster/Jaku Baines, Walker, Valencia, McAuly, Kingsley.. Barry, KDB, Antony, Capou, Sanchez.. . Iheacheno, Ibra, Lukaku..

    Earned 83..now replacing Sanchez+Ihea for Aguero+Xhaka for gw6

    Needed to bring in Aguero, and Sanchez against Chelsea looked the best bet. See his record in tough matches this season. Will keep rotating KDB, Sanchez and Ibra based on game week.

    1. gwitbrock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      aguero and iwobi instead if you can afford it. xhaka wont be doing that too often

  11. NUFCAndrew
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 FTs and this is my team

    Foster Pickford

    Baines Valencia Friend Evans Amat

    Hazard Ozil Sterling Antonio Hojberg

    Zlatan Lukaku Gray

    Unsure where to use these FTs so help is gladly appreciated!

    1. Psakhotherapy
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil or Gray out look like the obvious choices...depends on cash

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You prob want Aguero, so Gray, Haz and Ozil have to go. Not sure what getting in Firm leaves for 4th mid or your money ITB situation

  12. Numb
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo do you prefer?

    A. Crap Def (rotating), Snod, Ibra
    Or
    B. Premium Def, Sterling, Deeney

    Thanks.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A, for next 2 at least.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Depends on your premium defender tbh. Could see an argument for B if it was someone like Bellerin, cs points plus tons of assist potential in his next 4 games or so

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah good point.

  13. Psakhotherapy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fab likely to be starting from here on out do we think?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Most likely, but i wouldn't be surprised if he gets benched

      1. Psakhotherapy
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        hmmm frustrating. he fits quite neatly into my wc

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Its very frustrating. Fabregas only other besides Hazard that brings creativity into the team. Should start every game, but Conte is very stubborn. If Fab starts he is 100% going into my team

    2. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible to tell but I don't think he's going to be a walk up after one good showing in the EFL albeit against decent PL opposition

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not. Conte doesn't like rotation

      1. kingcairo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Conte's tactics are mad using two holding midfielders can't get much goals. Matic and kante are defensively minded so no place for francesc

  14. Lovejoy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Foster/Pickford
    Lovren/Baines/Walker/Amat/Holebas
    Sterling/Sanchez/Mane/Capoue/Fletcher
    Aguero/Lukaku/Deeney

    0.1 ITB, on WC

    Sterling/Lovren to Koscielny/Antonio?

    1. Lovejoy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      /any other thoughts?

      1. Desertbug
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        LIke it in general, except that Foster fixtures getting uglier coming up.
        Also, Baines still a question whether he is actually on pens again or if it is Lukaku. If he's not, then his additional appeal to justify him being the priciest Everton defender has kind of evaporated. Coleman looked very lively last match and his goal was a piece of beauty

        1. Lovejoy
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Have brought in Coleman thanks for the advice. Switch Foster to HEaton?

    2. gwitbrock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no definitely not. baines to coleman imo then looks good to me. maybe fletcher to de roon or hojbjerg

      1. Lovejoy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, still a bit hesitant about doubling up on Watford. Bony worth a punt over Deeney? fixtures look to be getting kinder

  15. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Snodgrass, Cech, 4.5
    B) Antonio, Jaku, 4.5
    C) Snodgrass, Jaku, Walker

    Pickford, --
    Baines, Lovren, Holebas, Amat, --
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Capoeu, --

    1. Desertbug

      B

  16. Psakhotherapy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    too many rotation risks? 0.1itb

    Pick / Jaku

    Walker / Lovren / Holebas / Evans / Amat

    Firmino / Antonio / Sanchez / Fab / Capoue

    Kun / Lukakaka / Janssen

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fab only concern

    2. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, it could work. People are gonna tell you to get Deeney over Janssen, but Janssen could be nice differential on that

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dont go with Fab imo

    4. Psakhotherapy
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      thanks all, think i will go chadli this week & switch to fab if he gets his place back vs arsenal...

  17. Mayor of Flair
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any 4.0m defenders realistically going to play much of a part this year? Don't believe Love will play much more.

    1. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Amat, Kingsley, but they aren't 4.0 anymore. True 4.0? Doesn't look like it

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ya true 4.0, have Amat. Didn't think so.

    2. gwitbrock

      Brad Smith has a shout. Also maybe Lenihan when he gets back from injury for hull.

    Choose one:

    A) Lukaku, Bolasie, Coutinho, Sterling
    B) Lukaku, Bolasie, Hazard, Townsend
    C) Lukaku, Townsend, Walcott, Sterling

    E) Benteke, Bolasie, Ozil, Sterling (NO hit)
    F) Benteke, Bolasie, Hazard, Sterling
    G) Benteke, Willian, Firmino, Sterling

    H) Deeney, Townsend, Hazard, Sterling

    sorry for this number of options but I can't decide.

    1. Joggers Nipple

      A but would stretch to Firm over Cout

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        impossible without another hit

    2. Desertbug

      A

    Pick one?

    A) Sanchez
    B) KDB

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A (I assume that u have Kun)

      1. melvinmbabazi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    2. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B, whether you have Kun or not

      1. melvinmbabazi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have Kun

    3. Rex Lapis
      • 10 Years

      A

  20. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford, Jaku
    Coleman, Walker, Holebas (Kelly, Amat)
    Firmino, Sterling, Capoue, Antonio (Snoddy)
    Lukaku, Aguero, Ibrahimovic

    OR

    Pickford, Jaku
    Cokeman, Stones, Holebas (Kelly, Amat)
    Sanchez, Sterling, Snoddy, Capoue (Puncheon)
    Lukaku, Aguero, Ibrahimovic

    (2) gives me Sanchez but a nightmare picking 2 out of (Capoue, Puncheon, Snoddy) AND less Antonio, LIverpool mid.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Even without Sanchez?
        I can get him when I sell Ibra after 2 home games tho.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          yes. A is more ballanced and you will get Alexis later like you said

  21. yuz
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton/Jakupovic
    Walker/McAuley/Holebas/Smith/Friend
    Chadli/Firmino/Capoue/Antonio/Sterling
    Lukaku/Agüero/Costa

    1. jon.terry.tfh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Chadli, Smith, Friend. I am never ever gonna bench Capoue again this season until he blanks like 5 in a row lol

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Play AOA with Heaton Walker McAuley as gk/def

    If there were ten fish in an enclosed tank, and four swam away, three died, and three drowned, how many fish would be left?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Capoue

      1. Kante Be Bothered

        correct

      This sounds like a metaphor for my wildcard.

    4. A.T
      • 14 Years

      10

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Technically there are 7 alive ones, but if you count the 3 dead ones 10 is also correct 😉

        1. A.T
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'd argue it's the only correct answer but I'm happy to let it go on this occasion 🙂

    Firmino or Coutinho for the Liverpool's favourable fixtures over the next months?

    Is there reason to back Coutinho now that Sturridge might return to the striker position, pushing Firmino back? Or is Firmino still the biggest threat in the team?

    1. gwitbrock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've gone for Coutinho as I like a punt and he looks bang in form to me, is on all set pieces and has a point to prove. Firmino clearly the safer option minutes wise. If they both played 90 every game then I've no doubt Coutinho is the shout.

  24. Mayor of Flair

    So people are happy enough with having Jaku and Pickford then ya?

  25. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    For me it seems to come down to this:

    A) Walker and Capoue in a 3-5-2 (Diomande and Holebas as subs)

    B) Holebas and Deeney in a 3-4-3 (Fletcher and 4,0 def as subs)

    Any comments?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm am doing A myself. Evans instead of Holebas. It's working at the moment but I never ever ever want to be relying on Diomande

    2. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I went A, it's much easier to bench Diomande than Capoue 🙂

  26. Dead Cat Bounce

    Mirrales is my 4th midfielder. I have the money ITB to switch him to any of the Liverpool mids...
    2 questions:
    1) Is it worth a -4pt hit to switch him this week? Everton away to Bournemouth versus Liverpool home to Hull.
    2) which of Coutinho, firmino and Mane...?? My feeling is firmino but that is based on him placing up front still

    Thanks

    Is Oscar lost his place in starting XI? Is he worth keeping in draft game? Townsend better option? I must sacreface one of Oscar, Tadic, Bolasie, Lanzini for Townsend... Wich one is first in line? Thanks!

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Of those then Oscar as he is not playing

  28. Bialystrzelec
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Cech - Jakupovic
    Walker - Shaw - Stones - Friend - Holebas
    De Bruyne - Firmino - Barkley - Townsend - Capoue
    Ibrahimovic - Lukaku - Deeney

    Wiat do you think about that? Do you see any positions that need improving? I've allready used hit to bing Holebas and Deeney in.
    I haven't used my WC so far as well

    A: Costa, Puncheon, Smith
    B: Deeney, Firminio, Kelly
