Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 10 – The Weak

After assessing those sides with favourable fixtures over the next six Gameweeks, we now focus on the teams braced for tougher times ahead.

London clubs West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea all face some testing encounters, with the Hammers, in particular, set to embark on a very tricky run of matches.

West Ham

(eve, STO, tot, mun, ARS, liv)

The Hammers upcoming schedule is deemed the most unfavourable according to our Season Ticker over the next six Gameweeks, with Slaven Bilic’s men facing four torrid matches on the road.

Clean sheets look set to be in short supply, with Liverpool the joint-highest scorers over the last four Gameweeks with nine, while they also rank second over the same period for shots inside the box.

Arsenal, meanwhile, sit joint-third for big chances created over the last four matches with 10, while Manchester United have scored in each of their four home fixtures so far.

Everton have tailed off in front of goal of late, featuring in the bottom half for goals scored and big chances created, but that still represents a tricky match-up, while Stoke City seemed to have turned the corner in recent weeks, scoring six goals in their last four matches.

Despite accruing back-to-back shut-outs, then, there looks to be little appeal in owning a West Ham defender through this tough part of their schedule.

Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham all feature in the bottom six for shots conceded over the last four Gameweeks, so chances may be at a premium in those fixtures.

Additionally, Arsenal have kept clean sheets in three of their last four, while Stoke have registered back-to-back shut-outs.

Only Sunday’s trip to Goodison Park looks a decent match-up then, so despite his good form, Dimitri Payet appears unlikely to deliver great value. Michail Antonio – the most transferred out midfielder in Gameweek 10 – was fielded up front in last night’s EFL Cup win over Chelsea, though, and a more advanced role at Goodison this weekend may slow down the exodus if he can end a four-match dry spell.

Tottenham Hotspur

(LEI, ars, WHM, che, SWA, mun)

Spurs face three testing away matches over the coming period, while only the Swansea City encounter stands out as being truly favourable among the home fixtures.

Chelsea and Man United rank third and fifth respectively for shots inside the box over the last four Gameweeks, while Arsenal have scored 11 goals in five league matches at the Emirates.

Leicester City and West Ham do occupy two of the bottom three spots for shots on target over the last four Gameweeks, though, while Swansea have only scored four goals in as many matches.

Defensive returns appear unlikely on Tottenham’s travels, then, but a distinct possibility at White Hart Lane.

With Spurs’ starters at the back also offer solid attacking threats, they’re probably worth holding onto, but the likes of Kyle Walker may struggle to provide value over the next few weeks if those attacking returns fail to materialise.

It’s the same story at the other end of the pitch, with Chelsea having kept three successive clean sheets, while Arsenal have managed shut-outs in two of their last three at home.

The Manchester United defence appears slightly more vulnerable given their defeats at Watford and Chelsea, but they will still provide a tough encounter at Old Trafford.

On the other hand, Leicester and Swansea are joint-top for big chances conceded over the last four Gameweeks with 11, while West Ham have let in nine goals in four away matches so far.

But with so many midfielders at other clubs in form and boasting far more favourable fixtures, the likes of Son Heung-min and Dele Alli may struggle to justify places in our 15-man squads over the coming spell.

Chelsea

(sot, EVE, mid, TOT, mci, WBA)

The Blues look to have four testing fixtures in the next six, with the matches against Tottenham and Man City, in particular, unlikely to provide many rewards for Chelsea assets.

From an attacking point of view, Antonio Conte’s men face two teams, Southampton and Spurs, that have conceded just two goals apiece over the last four Gameweeks, while City have only let in more than one goal once this season.

The other three fixtures (EVE, mid, WBA) are slightly more favourable, although all three teams have shown at different stages of the season they can be fairly resolute at the back.

Those currently owning Diego Costa (who remains just one booking short of a single-match ban) or the resurgent Eden Hazard, may well be content to hold for the time being. The Belgian has netted in each of his last four for club and country prior to last night’s loss to West Ham.

As already mentioned, Chelsea have upped their resilience of late but with Southampton, Tottenham and City in the top seven for total goal attempts over the last four Gameweeks, it may be difficult to maintain that run.

Everton and West Brom are regularly scoring just one goal per match at the moment, though, while ‘Boro have failed to score in their last two, so Blues defender may be able to accrue the odd clean sheet.

But given the price tags of Chelsea starters at the back, it’s unlikely they’ll be on the shopping lists of many Fantasy managers through this tricky run of ties.

Also be wary of…

Middlesbrough
‘Boro are another team who face four unfavourable fixtures (mci, CHE, lei, sot) over the coming period, which diminishes the appeal of their budget options at both ends of the pitch.

Those holding onto a ‘Boro defender may be happy to keep them for Saturday’s home clash against Bournemouth, but after that, they appear surplus to requirements, given that the chances of clean sheet points appear very slim.

Leicester City and Southampton are also pretty strong defensively at home, while Chelsea are in good form at the back, and City have yet to concede more than once in a match at the Etihad this season.

‘Boro attackers haven’t been popular options since the drop-off in Alvaro Negredo’s form, and that looks set to continue over the coming weeks.

Everton
Ronald Koeman’s men have a mixed run of fixtures on the horizon, with three pretty favourable matches (WHM, SWA, wat) offset by three testing clashes (che, sot, MUN).

On balance, given United’s recent struggles, it would be hard to dispense with the services of the in-form Romelu Lukaku at this point, but it may be more difficult for the Belgian to maintain his recent run of providing attacking points in five of the last six.

It’s at the back where the outlook may be slightly more clear cut, with Swansea and West Ham surprisingly faring pretty well in some of the key attacking categories, while Watford have scored in all four of their matches at Vicarage Road.

With clean sheets seemingly a tall order in the other three fixtures on the current slate, Toffees defenders may see their recent struggles continue into November and beyond.

Man United
In the short-term, matches at home to Burnley and West Ham, along with the Gameweek 11 trip to Swansea, should mean that those holding onto United assets will probably keep faith for the time being.

But the Red Devils also face three difficult fixtures (ARS, eve, TOT) over the coming period, so should the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic fail to deliver against the Clarets, the decision to move the Swede on should become far easier. Last night’s booking against City takes him onto four yellow and, like Costa, he’s now on the brink of a one-match ban.

Likewise, a failure to keep a clean sheet on Saturday will probably sway many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bosses to ditch United defenders, with returns appearing very unlikely against the two north London sides, while United’s record at Everton and Swansea is also a cause for concern. With Chris Smalling missing out through injury last night and Eric Bailly sidelined for two months, Antonio Valencia owners may be forced into a re-think.

Crystal Palace
It’s at home where the Eagles may struggle over the next month or so, with Liverpool, City and Southampton visiting Selhurst Park over the coming period.

Clean sheets certainly appear unlikely in those three matches, while given that Alan Pardew’s side are still waiting for their first shut-out of the campaign, the three away trips (bur, swa, hul) could also prove to be tricky affairs.

We should continue to ignore Palace defenders, then, while at the other end of the pitch, Christian Benteke looks to be the only player who may be able to keep ticking over through the mixed schedule.

Even his upside looks limited, bearing in mind that Burnley are also a strong defensive side at Turf Moor, so the Belgian’s 8.3% ownership in FPL may consider their options over the next few weeks.

    3. Alnair
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      May seem crazy at first but maybe Evans (MCI) over Kelly (LIV)?

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Still considering this, might be the right move actually.. even considering taking a hit for defense.. worth it you think?

  2. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    there is very little transfers happening this week compared to other weeks plus aguero is close to drop strange times

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      there are*

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

      Agueros form is strange so not surprising people are considering / have already sold him. But yes this week is quite quiet transfer wise.

  3. The Hindu Monkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Good to go?

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Coleman, Mustafi, Holebas (Kingsley, Kelly)
    Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Allen (c) (Fletcher)
    Aguero, Rashford, Lukaku

    One FT. 0.6 in bank.

    Any moves you'd make?

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

      Allen really? There rest looks fine.

    2. KDF
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      change captain from Allen

    3. Parm
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Who seem to have captained Joe Allen.

      Are you sure you'd like a 2 point captain this week?

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I'm confident of 3... 😉

    4. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      If Rashford is out will switch him for Deeney. Or Wilson. Or Austin. Or, er, someone.

      1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Austin.

    5. Phil Dagger ⭐

      Allen captain woah very brave choice !!!! gud luck 🙂 gtg

  4. Jakobfju
    • 8 Years

    Snodgrass -> Allen or Redmond?
    Cech -> heaton or grant or someone else below 4.6? (i have to make this transfer so that i can upgrade the team elsewhere)

    Thanks!

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

      Redmond. Hull up next week

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Like both Allen and Redmond, so it depends if you need the cash.

      don't get grant, as you will have to waste another FT when Butland is fit.

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      heaton

    4. Parm
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Redmond for me, his attacking stats are much better although Allen has that sporadic nature about him where he pops up in the box in the right place at the right time.

  5. COYS Down Under

    Love the variety of teams on here, everybody is different.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Great isnt it. Hard to find the right balance.

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Mine is better than yours.

      Heaton;
      Holebas, Britos, Evans;
      Sánchez, Walcott, Firmino, Mata;
      Agüero, Lukaku(c), Defoe.

  6. Gazzpfc
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Chadli and kdb or firmino and sterling

    Other two cout and walcott?

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

      Firm and chadli.

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Firm and sterling.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      2nd pair atm.

      1. Gazzpfc
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Firm and steeling sound good for lallana and sanchez lesve me cout firm walcott sterling but akready done 16 trabsfers this year so need to slow down on hits

  7. Sonder
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    RMT, please!

    Pickford, Jakupovic
    Amat, Kelly, Holebas, Lovren, Walker
    Sanchez, Firmino, Walcott, Son, Fletcher
    Aguero, Deeney, Lukaku

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    I was considering taking out Walker or Son since TOT's fixtures are getting rough. Maybe Walker --> Bellerin. I also want to move Deeney for similar reasons but after this week (HUL). Ideas?

    1. Alnair
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      8/10? Standard attack, below average defense. Change keepers or rollover imo, I prefer the latter.

  8. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Nobody in my ML has Ibra and now I'm tempted to bring him in and slap the armband on him.

    Anybody else pondering the same?

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

      Nah.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Think he's a decent captain option if you already have him, but wouldn't go out of my way to transfer him in...

  9. Harry's Car Window
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Had 2FT, done Tekkers to Austin. I want to save the remaining FT, how is this looking for this week?

    Grant (Heaton)
    Holebas, Pieters, Smith (Stones, Amat)
    KDB, Walcott (c), Arnie, Son (Marney)
    Aguero (vc), Costa, Austin

    Thoughts?

    1. Shano23
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Tekkers to Deeney this week then Deeney to Austin next.

      1. Shano23
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Follow the Hull gravy train

    2. liiusions
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Would have ditched Son myself unless you're looking to upgrade him next week, in which case Austin makes sense

  10. GoonerByron
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Good to go?

    Jaku
    Holebas - Valencia - Kosc
    Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino - Redmond
    Aguero - Lukaku (c) - Benteke

    Foster - Allen - Stones - Amat

    0FT, 0.0 ITB

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

      Foster instead. Gtg otherwise.

      1. GoonerByron
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Was thinking 'if' Jaku starts, he's slightly more likely for a clean sheet and probably just as likely for save points?

    2. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Kaku captain over the Arsenal boys?

      1. GoonerByron
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        At the moment.. Been burnt by Sanchez last couple of weeks and Lukaku is in great form + his scoring record against West Ham is unbelievable.. He seems the right choice.

        1. BB-8
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          I'm on Kaku atm as well but I'm wavering. Being an Arsenal fan makes it harder. Think we'll score 2 but not sure if Alexis will score. Depends on whether Giroud starts as well. Early kick off is also a factor..

        2. Alnair
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          In the same exact situation and probably going Lukaku as well, but what a kick in the nuts a Sanchez haul would be x)

      Yes.

  12. makaveli123

    Brunt @ 4.9m. Anyone considering him?

          Replaced Yacob so probably did his job.

          1. Parm
            • 12 Years

            Exciting, but midfield 'rotation'?

      2. makaveli123
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        In midfield. If he becomes a regular, I might consider him. Clean sheet and assist potential.

  13. Parm
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Ist it time to get Hazard back yet?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Maybe.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I would if Liverpool's fixtures weren't so nice and his weren't so iffy. Doubling up on Liverpool for now.

    Best midfielder under 5.9 to replace snoddy

    shoot!

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

      Allen the only real replacement if 4th mid. 4.4 fodder if 5th

    2. THAT'S LIFE
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Same issue - but unless you can guarantee me Stanilas minutes I'm saving and dealing with next week in 2FTs

      1. THAT'S LIFE
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Only good news is I can play Capoue in one of the best fixtures possible

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Redmond?

    4. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'm guessing Redmond doesn't count if the question is under 5.9.

      Only answer is Allen, but he's a really poor option for 4th midfielder slot.

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Stanislas could be an option as well...

  15. Captain Warlock

    I'm cashing in on Capoue for
    A) Fletcher 0.4 profit
    B) De Roon 0.5 profit

  16. The Tinkerman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    What should I do with this? 2FT and 0.1ITb, can't decide on anything, Bolasie and Antonio will go, but can stay 1 or 2 weeks more respectively. Thinking maybe McAuley > Pieters?

    Or maybe I should ditch my non playing subs...

    Foster
    Bellerin, Vertonghen, A.Smith
    Alexis, Ozil, Coutinho, Antonio, Bolasie
    Aguero, Deeney

    Playing subs: McAuley
    Non-playing subs: 4.0GK, 3.9DF, 4.4ST

    1. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Antonio to Redmond/Allen? Then upgrade subs next week

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I'd rather lose bolaise, Antonio has two reasonable games in everton and Stoke (H). I think I might punt on someone like Clyne at the back, or maybe a Leicester player, no idea who to take though. Ranieri resting people all over the park.

        1. BB-8
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          You think Fuchs is safe from the rotation? Thinking of bringing him in, in the next few

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Wouldn't ditch McAuley with their fixtures coming up in two weeks.

  17. Wheato182
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Think i'm gonna play the all out attack chip to give me.

    Foster
    Kos - Walker
    Firmino - Coutinho - Walcott - Sanchez - Allen
    Lukaku - Deeney - Benteke

    Bench - Jaku - Williams - McAuly - Mee

    Good to go this weekend guys?

        Having said that. If you're not willing to play a £5m defender at home to West Ham, you probably need to ship him.

          I've been trying to for the last couple of weeks (to a Stoke defender) but something has always come up!

          Hoping to do it next week along with Sanchez> De Bruyne.

        If I could move on Britos to Pieters i'd be willing to play Holebas, Evans & Pieters each week.

    If you go AOA, and one of your front 8 players doesn't play.
    what happens?
    a) zero points for that player
    b) revert to 343

    1. EL_Duderino
      • 8 Years

      found it
      "The chip is still played. If you use your All Out Attack chip to select a 2-5-3 formation and a midfielder or forward doesn't play then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned."

    Williams & Chadli > Montreal & Stoke MID?

      *Monreal!

    2. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I wouldn't get rid of Chadli, you'll want him back in 2 GWs time. Williams to stoke/pool def maybe?

      1. Gazj11
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Don't want a LIV defender. Arsenal or Stoke I think.

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          If you have money ITB then go for Kos, if not then Pieters if u want Stoke I guess

    3. Wheato182
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'd be tempted to keep Chadli if he's your 4th midfielder tbh.

      1. Gazj11
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        He is. You think he's a safer bet than Stoke MID over next few weeks?

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Chadli on pens, City not defending great, good fixtures from GW12

        2. Wheato182
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          He's the focal point of the West Brom attack, if they get any returns he'll likely be involved and he's on set pieces as mentioned.

          I wouldnt mind him myself but have other pressing issues.

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I am looking to bring back Chadli, so I wouldn't sell him...

      1. Kuyt Hero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        bringing him in this week for Snoddy

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          don't have a lot of funds for kids right now, so thinking to bring in Redmond for GW 11 and Chadli for GW 12.

              What's ur mid atm and who u getting rid for redmond/chadli?

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 6 days ago

                Sanchez, Zaha, Allen, Capoue and Snoddy.

                Snoddy and Zaha becomes Redmond and Chadli over the next 2.

                One of the fools that have invested heavily in Kun, Ibra and Lukaku + expensive defence.

                  Ah right good moves to me! Yea was wondering why your mid is so light... Still keeping Ibra?

                  1. Licious Lizard
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 6 days ago

                    Yeah obviously it hasn't been the right tactic. I just keep being stubborn and telling myself that if I should have any chance of climbing OR, it has to turn around. No point in giving into the "template" with double Pool miss now.

                    Think I will keep him against Burnley this week and maaaaybe against Swansea next. Hopefully he will give Ibra owners some faith with a brace against Burnley.

        Someone made and account, posted like a knob and then got banned.

          Thanks. Saw something about he was attacking the mods as well.

          Sounds silly...

    On Zlatan captain.

    Deeney vice.

    Agree I've got it the right way round?

    Scared I'm blinded because of my massive love for Ibra.

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I have given him the armband as well didn't work out well against Stoke or Pool.

      Last chance for him - capping him before Kun, Luk and Sanchez...

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I'm on the exact same, so I hope so 🙂

      1. Blanka
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Nice! Love Ibra, just not a fan of United! Needs to be getting some points at home to Burnley!

        1. Slartibartfast
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          If he doesn't, I may very well have to rage-transfer him out.

          1. Blanka
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Can see him getting booked and picking up a ban if United are struggling, as well. Hope not, team is set up for a good week this week. Famous last words.

  25. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years

    Pick a captain

    A Lukuka
    B Sanchez

    1. Gazj11
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      A

    2. Wheato182
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Sanchez just because of who he's playing.

      Lukaku if you want a differential/gamble

  26. Salah
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Should i play Amat instead of Walker,Coleman or Lovren, choose 1?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      No

  27. MiguelAngel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Heaton
    Bellerin Clyne Valencia Pieters
    Sanchez(c) Wally Firmino Shaqiri
    Kun Tekkers

    Pickford Capoue Rashford Amat

    A) Gtg
    B) Start Rashford (bur) over??

    1. Wheato182
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Play Rashford over Valencia.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Rashford's minutes at risk this GW?

        1. Wheato182
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Would rather have an attacker (even if the mins are limited) over a defender who'll likely concede. Actually its a toss up between Valencia/Clyne.

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      rashford over clyne

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Clyne looks so dangerous at the moment, I would play him. know Stoke are looking a lot better defensively but I reckon Swansea will score, Monday night match, I'd probably leave Pieters on the bench this week (contraversial I know) and play Rashford

  28. Sonder
    • 11 Years

    RMT, please!

    Pickford, (Jakupovic)
    Holebas, Lovren, Walker, (Amat, Kelly)
    Sanchez, Firmino, Walcott, Son, (Fletcher)

      Saw RUMOURS around here that Theo maybe won't play this GW - don't know if it has anything to it. also be aware of there is a risk Rashford won't play.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah expecting Rashford to miss out

        Have Capoue (HUL) first sub , just hope Theo and Rashford don't miss out

    4. Wheato182
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Don't like the Aguero (C) and would play Foster over Pickford for this week - can see a tight game between city and west brom.

    Grant
