The Stock Check – Gameweek 11 – Sunday

A 6-1 home rout of Watford promotes Fantasy Premier League interest in Liverpool’s effervescent front three as the competition for our five-man midfield intensifies.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic bags a brace then topples off the Suspension Tightrope, and Harry Kane’s return to action threatens to shake up our options in attack. Here’s the Stock Check following Sunday’s five matches…

On the Rise

Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane
The Liverpool trio all produced double-figure hauls in the same match for the first time this season in a 6-1 home thrashing of Watford.

Owned by over 45% of FPL managers, Coutinho is now the most popular midfielder in the game, with a goal and assist taking him to second in the overall standings.

Yet the displays of both Firmino and Mane highlight the benefit in at least doubling up on Jurgen Klopp’s front three.

The trio sit amongst the top six scoring FPL midfielders – Firmino served up a second 15-point haul of the campaign to climb into fourth, while Mane’s season-high 13 points sees him sit one point behind City’s Kevin De Bruyne.

With the schedule still so favourable, and a lack of European matches restricting rotation, investing heavily in Jurgen Klopp’s big-hitters continues to pay off handsomely.

Adam Lallana
Despite a favourable price tag of 7.1, Lallana was in danger of being left behind by his team-mates after a run of four straight blanks.

A pair of assists against Watford, supplemented by maximum bonus points, saw the former Saint move onto 59 points for the campaign – just two behind Mane.

At a time when owners of Michail Antonio, Son Heung-Min and Theo Walcott are seeking out mid-price alternatives, Lallana can expect to see his 11% ownership climb. He’s second only to Coutinho for value amongst Liverpool’s midfield contingent.

Harry Kane
Re-installed to the first XI after recovering from an ankle injury, the Spurs forward earned his side a point at the Emirates thanks to a converted second-half spot-kick.

Kane has now netted in each of his last three league appearances and there’s no doubt that his return to action is threatening to shake up our three-man frontlines.

Given that Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa sit in over 40% of squads and Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are held by 30%+, Kane’s 5% ownership makes him the ideal differential for those looking to restructure.

Spurs now have four home fixtures in seven, with West Ham, Swansea, Hull and Burnley next up at White Hart Lane.

Robert Snodgrass
Having returned to training earlier than expected, the Scot was named amongst the subs for Hull City’s home encounter with Southampton.

Injuries up top meant that Snodgrass was afforded the chance to make an impact off the bench and he didn’t disappoint, supplying a goal and assist in the 2-1 comeback victory.

Now down to 5.5, he’s set to challenge the likes of Joe Allen and Ilkay Gundogan in the sub-6.0 bracket as he squares up to Sunderland, West Brom, Middlesbrough and Palace directly after the international break.

Charlie Austin
A converted first-half penalty took the Southampton forward’s tally to five strikes in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Subject to a price rise in each of the previous five Gameweeks, Austin still sits at just 6.7 in FPL and with the fixtures falling in his favour from Gameweek 14 onwards, that interest looks set to continue.

Indeed, upcoming home encounters with Liverpool and Everton’s unconvincing defences may persuade more to get on board once the international break has passed.

Paul Pogba
We’d highlighted the Frenchman’s threat in last week’s Big Numbers article, and he finally delivered on the data.

Pushed up into an advanced role, Pogba fired a stunning opener in the 3-1 win at Swansea to serve a reminder of his talents.

Only four midfielders have produced more attempts on goal than United’s summer signing over the first 11 Gameweeks, though he’s managed to score just twice. With Eden Hazard and Liverpool’s midfield at the top of our shopping lists, Pogba has a long way to go before he is elevated in our thinking, particularly as he sits just one caution short of a ban.

Matty Phillips
Handed a recall after James McClean (suspension) and Nacer Chadli (knee injury) were sidelined for the King Power Stadium trip, the Baggies wide man grabbed his opportunity with a goal and assist in the 2-1 win.

Phillips has now produced points in three of his last six, yet with Chadli expected to be fit enough to return in time for the Gameweek 12 clash with Burnley, he faces a tough task to find a way past the Belgian in our thinking.

Clashes against Hull, Watford and Swansea City in the next five certainly suggest that Tony Pulis’ men could be back on our radars.

Chris Brunt is another to keep an eye on – listed as a defender in FPL, he was fielded on the flank this afternoon.

The Irishman has started in back-to-back league matches since proving his fitness following a long-term knee injury, though it remains to be seen where he’ll fit in once Pulis has a full quota of players to pick from.

Islam Slimani
It’s three goals and an assist in four home appearances for the Leicester after this afternoon’s strike against West Brom.

Leicester City are another side set for some fine fixtures and Slimani looks to have edged ahead as their likeliest source of attacking points.

Riyad Mahrez still sits in 10% of FPL squads and supplied the assist for his compatriot’s goal, yet with just two assists from Gameweek 2 onwards, that 9.1 price tag continues to look vastly inflated.

Gylfi Sigurdsson
An assist in today’s loss to United was the fifth time in eight Gameweeks that the Swansea City playmaker has produced attacking returns.

Today again underlined Sigurdsson’s fixture-proof appeal – he has also scored or assisted against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal over that run.

The schedule smiles kindly on Bob Bradley’s strugglers from Gameweek 15 onwards and at a price of just 7.2, Sigurdsson’s consistency could see him emerge as one of the value midfield picks over the winter period.

In Decline

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The United frontman delighted then disappointed his 30% FPL ownership in equal measure this afternoon.

After finally breaking his six-match scoring drought with a brace at the Liberty, Ibrahimovic then toppled off the Suspension Tightrope by earning a fifth yellow card of the season.

The last six Gameweeks have seen the veteran earn significant transfers out and today’s indiscretion will surely now persuade many more the time is right to cut and run.

With Kane throwing his name into the hat as another big-hitter, Ibrahimovic is already number one for transfers out up front since the weekend.

Marcus Rashford
The youngster was omitted from United’s XI for the first time since Gameweek 4 as Jose Mourinho handed Wayne Rooney a surprise return out wide.

Ibrahimovic’s upcoming ban means that Rashford may well be graned an immediate return to face Arsenal next time out, though today’s pair of assists from Rooney clearly throws more question marks over the pecking order in attack.

Daley Blind
Despite being devoid of a number of defensive options – including three of his first-choice back-four – Mourinho opted to bench Daley Blind for the trip to Swansea, suggesting that the Dutchman was only fit enough to be named amongst the substitutes.

Thanks to his share of corners and propensity for picking up bonus points, Blind has been the standout option in the Red Devils’ rearguard.

Sitting in sixth spot for FPL defenders, he’s 16 points clear of any other United backline option, yet Mourinho’s decision may persuade his 10% owners to reconsider.

Today’s result means the Old Trafford side have just two clean sheets in the last eight Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott
Sold by more FPL managers than any player last week, the winger overcame a hamstring problem to be handed a starting role on the Arsenal right.

Walcott played all but three minutes of the previous five league matches he appeared in but today saw him replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on 70 minutes.

There’s a fear that his early withdrawal may be a sign of what’s to come, though it may well be that Arsene Wenger was simply easing him back into action.

Already, though, Walcott is being shipped in numbers as the exodus steps up over the break.

Alexis Sanchez
A blank at home to Spurs continued the Chilean’s poor run of form at the Emirates.

Sanchez has now scored just once in six matches in front of his own supporters, compared to six strikes in five on the road.

As the quest to draft in Eden Hazard intensifies, some are starting to feel that the Arsenal man’s 11.4 price tag could be the answer. Bearing in mind that four of his next six league fixtures are away, though, getting rid could backfire.

Sanchez’ owners will at least have been appeased by his return to the lone striker role today as Olivier Giroud dropped back to the bench, having led the line in Bulgaria on Wednesday.

However, Giroud was introduced for the final 20-minutes – a trend that could continue in future matches, potentially shifting Sanchez’ role for the closing stages.

Jose Holebas
The 9%-owned Watford defender also earned a fifth yellow of the season today.

Holebas treated his owners to a score of -2 points in the 6-1 Anfield loss, with a second-half caution ensuring he will miss a Gameweek 12 home encounter against Leicester.

Given that the Hornets than face Stoke City, West Brom, Sunderland and Palace in the subsequent six, many will be happy to bench a player who produced 33 points in four appearances prior to today.

A move to 4-4-2 at Anfield is worth monitoring, though, considering the former Greek international has mainly been utilised as a wing-back by Walter Mazzarri.

Daryl Janmaat’s form could also be a factor.

Returning to the first XI after a shoulder injury, his consolation means he’s bagged a goal and assist in his last two starts. The Dutchman is now identically priced to Holebas at 4.8 apiece.

Jamie Vardy
Dropped to the bench for the second time in three league fixtures, the Foxes frontman looks to have fallen from consideration just as the schedule turns kind.

Without a goal since Gameweek 4, Vardy looks a far cry from the player that netted 24 times last term, and as Slimani continues to profit up top, the England international is becoming an increasingly peripheral figure in our seasons.

    As a Costa owner I wouldn't mind if he gets a yellow next game.

    Will miss the game against the toughest defence. Gonna keep him as I got him at 9.6 though

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Wow I thought he started at 10..
      Why haven't I owned him 🙁

  2. Lateriser 12

    On a wildcard. Aiming at this front 7

    Haz Theo Firmino Coutinho
    Aguero Costa Austin

    But it leaves me with a defence of

    Pickford Grant (i know)
    Alonso Stones 9M Kingsley

    What kind of adjusments would you make?

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I think that defence is more than fine. wba and Stoke with good fixtures

      That will get u more than average defence.points

      1. Sims

        I wouldn't bother with stones though. KEEPS disappointing

        Would appreciate ur help below too. thanks

        Keepers though

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      KDB>Costa for me

    3. Haggis
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Theo is for me a great pick when he is 100%. Not sure he is quite there at the moment, thus I'd personally avoid and rely on the Sanchez/Özil linkup as the way forward for Arsenal "coverage". And I've gone 3-5-2 as I believe there are a handful of similar priced mids that will outperform Austin over the season.

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

        Fair point. I have full faith in Theo. Outperforms Alexis on eye test and stats and for me is the best value player in the game.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Ramsey, Giroud and the Ox are holding me back from doing Sanchez/Wally

    4. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Stones->Morgan/Cedric(when fit)

      You need better keepers

      1. Lateriser 12

        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        No monies. Stones to a 4.5 if i want a Heaton/Foster

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years

          It's worth it.

            I'm keeping my eyes on Grant. Solid value enabler. If he's out for 2 more months i'm fine.

    5. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Really like your front 7

      Stones to Cedric maybe Evans/Nyom in the mix I think you can get away with this defence

    6. Non-template FPL is for Kin…

        Nicely done. Defence?

    7. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Same front seven.

      Can afford Alonso and Mustafi too. 😀

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Well not really, mistaken Lukaku for Costa.

    8. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'd drop Stones for another 4.5, and get Heaton in rather than double 4.0s.

      Rest looks good.

    9. Lateriser 12

      Theo>Lallana, improve defence

  3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Is Lukaku a season keeper?

    Evertons run into the new year

    Swansea City
    Southampton
    Man United
    Watford
    Arsenal
    Liverpool
    Leicester City
    Hull City
    Southampton
    Man City

    1. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Yes

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      The $64 mil question. Ignore fixtures because he score for fun against anyone when he is up to it. His problem is attitude and he thinks he is better than he is. After the toffees' drubbing he will be harping on again. Timing his inevitable goaless holiday is the key to your success.

      1. King Kohli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Well said

      2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Apart from Costa maybe Kane I don't see a replacement for him. I also bought him at 9 mill (Currently 9.8) your right it all about timing and monitoring his form.

      3. devils advocate
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I haven't watched the game yet.

        How did Lukaku play?

        I get there wouldn't have been many standouts with that scoreline, but did he have any chances, or ever come close to scoring?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Chelsea were superb and Everton and Kaku were woeful.

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      If Walcott or sanchez start performing he is gone for me

      Would rather keep costa

    4. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Looking to ship him after Swa...Kane comes into the mix

    5. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      His stats has fallen off a cliff...

    6. bigbudgie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Think I'm shipping after SWA....have 0.1 leeway to get Costa for him

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Thinking the same BB Kane/Costa but after Saints/ManU maybe Watford lol could be like the Ibrahimovic owners.. one more game.

    7. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Every Everton goal seems to be through him. But I've never been comfortable owning him.

  4. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    0.3 ITB, 1 free transfer

    Mannone Foster

    Amat Kingsley Holebas Pieters Huth

    How do I sort this out?
    Amat > NYom?

    Or Mannone & Amat > Mcauley & pickford (-4)

    1. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Team I am looking at:

      Heaton - Grant
      Smith - Amat - Holebas - Friend - McAuley
      Hazard - Walcott - Coutinho - Redmond - Allen
      Costa - Lukaku - Aguero

      Not worried by defence. Would need to transfer Payet to Redmond and Austin to Costa to achieve it.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Austin at 4 mil cheaper than Costa? Why change with Austin's fixtures from GW14? I have Costa Lukaku Austin and not shipping Cost due to the tfr loss. He is on 4 yellows also so at least wait until his ban. I would rather have Pool double up, say Payet/Firmino.

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like just the first.

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Get firmino for payet and avoid Costa for this week. GET him for lukaku if lukaku fails again

  6. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Is getting Hazard an absolute priority? Is jumping on form the best strategy for FPL rather than playing the long game?
    573 for the season, 56 points off the pace in my ML and red arrows this week 🙁

    Save me FFers

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      It is form jumping but everyone knows what the lad is capable of if his head is right. You are not talking about a Gundogen, Capue, Redmond, Bolasie, Wally. You are talking about the best.

    2. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Personally, i'd move with the flow at the moment.

      The wave towards Hazard is incredible, and if you don't do it you'll be priced out and will be further off the pace from the masses even if he gets an assist.

    3. Brap.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      New formation is the key: Haz basically doing whatever he wants now

    4. devils advocate
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      This season has been a totally different experience to last season.

      At the start of the season I jumped on most bandwagons to build TV and I quickly got to a season high 9k OR.

      I then played my wc and chose players based on fixtures and potential, and I quickly slipped to 150k whilst I watched others playing the knee-jerk game pass me by.

      The last couple gws I have gone back to playing the bandwagons game and I'm now back to 52k OR.

      Hate to say it, but I think it's the season to jump on bandwagons, as most wagons are turning out to be consistent performers.

    Good morning all. Thoughts on this WC team?

    Heaton
    Alonso / Brunt / Pieters
    Hazard / Firmino / Courtino / Sigurdsson
    Aguero / Austin / Lukaku

    Pickford / DeRoon / Martina / Kingsley

    1. white lightning
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Nice team but Martina will lose his place when Cedric returns & this could be as soon as next gw. Can you upgrade to a 4.5th?

    2. white lightning
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Another thought would you consider Siggy to Allen/Gundogan & Lukaku to Costa. With Chelsea & Liverpool scoring goals for fun it would be good loading your team with their attackers. If there's any cash left over then upgrade Martina.

    3. karvs155
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Martina -> Nyom. Seems to be nailed 4.3def

  11. eazy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Sterling, Deeney -> Hazard Anichebe leaves me just over 1m at the bank.

    Pull the trigger now or wait until after the internationals (would mean losing couple price changes :S )

      He is a playing mid in your side which is what I presume you are talking about.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I want more than a playing mid (2/3pts) I want a player that can return assist/goals every other game.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Well I think he might. Judging in his form and game involvement he is as good as any mid priced player and you will have 1.5 mil to spare on upgrades.

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Thanks for the feed back Smeggs. Let hope he can continue his assist/goals points for a few more games aye 🙂

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah, probably. There's too big a jump in price to Chadli/Milner etc so Allen or Snod is all you can go for really

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Sanchez >> Ozil/Walcott is a move I may consider later to free up some cash.

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Might not be possible if you have Sanchez/Haz/Kun...structure doesn't allow for it...unless you drop one of those three and upgrade on allen....

  15. Pea Soup
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    If you had Firmino, Coutinho, Sanchez, Walcott and wanted to get Hazard in there... but only £0.1m in the bank... which two would choose to make way?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Just Sanchez -> Haz

  16. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Team is
    Pick Jaku
    Bellerin Stones Holebas Kelly Amat
    Hazard Firmino Coutinho Sanchez Allen
    Aguero Austin rashford

    Have 2 FT. Thoughts on either of these

    A - Sanchez and Rashford to Walcott and Lukaku
    B - Sanchez, Rashford and Bellerin to Walcott, Costa and Alonso -4?

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

      A

      1. Bored Ape Jota Club
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Wow, nice team. Why don't you bench Rashford, do something with Jaku and/or Amat, and play 3-5-2? I am playing Allen as 4th mid as long as his fixtures are as juicy as they are now

        1. Bored Ape Jota Club
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Reply fail.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I really like B

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Thanks all. Tricky really want Costa and Alonso but their next few fixtures aren't great but will be priced up soon I think!

  17. Everyday im Schneiderlin

    What to do with this team 0.0 in bank keep or swap a few ?

    Heaton
    Mcauley walker smith pieters mat
    Sanchez walcott coutinio firmino
    Gundongen
    Aguero lukaku austin.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Keep if you are not keen on jumping the boat to Che players

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers i wouldnt mind alonso hazard and pedro but think it would dismantle my team too much

    2. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Sanchez > Hazard

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers i dont know if i have the balls to get rid of sanchez lol but its hazard i would swap him for and that extra cash would come in handy

        1. Shifty
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          only reason why i'd suggest that is that you already have Walcott. Worth the risk imo for now. Ride the price rises too and possibly get Sanchez in when the time is right.

          Can't have em all.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Did you keep Mcauley through the difficult patch? I commend you if you did. I would not have Both Sanchez and Wally.
      My team for after int break

      Haz Sanchez Cout Firmino (Capoue)
      Costa Kaku Austin

      I Might move out Kaku and do KDB for capoue

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers yeah i kept him as i couldnt see a better defender at his price i already had smith,thats a good front 8 ,having walcott and sanchez does worry me but either of them can be explosive

  18. KneejerkJoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    No love for Ozil for Sanchez?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Seriously considering it. Ozil is on one of those runs.

  19. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Knee jerked Hazard into my team last night as I thought he was going to rise but he dint, surely going to rise tonight though. My Front 8 looks like this now:

    Sanchez - Hazard - Coutinho - Firmino - Redmond
    Aguero - Austin - Anichebe

    What do you think?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Double up Soton attackers?

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Yup for now. I'll upgrade Redmond to Chadli soon.

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I like it, defence must be weak?

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        It's okayish. What do you think?

        Foster - Pickford
        Mustafi - Williams - Holebas - Francis - Amat

        1. Rhinos
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          i like the team, double saint s a bit iffy but oerfection cant be acheived in this game

  20. ROSSI_7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    What to do with this team got 3.9 in bank, any suggestions?

    Heaton
    Koscielny Walker Alonso
    Chadli Coutinho Gündogan Hazard
    Austin Agüero Lukaku

    Pickford Smith Amat Capoue

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Gundogan ➡ Firmino?

      Gundogan ➡ Walcott?

    2. white lightning
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Attack is where the points are. I'd keep Alonso & downgrade both Kosc & Walker to 2 defenders up to 5.0m. With the cash upgrade Chadli to Firmino.

  21. Rhinos
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Of all the players I want to do well next gw Sanchez is right at the top of the list, some bizarre advice being given on here

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      mun BOU whm STO

      Looks fine to me. 🙂

      1. Rhinos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Oop for Arsenal and one of the best players in the league and way more nailed than Theo. You keeping ibra for his ban?

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Well, that's a thing. 🙂

          My first thought was to switch to Sir Harry for a hit. But actually I could play Allen at home to Bournemouth, he's my 5th mid and I guess that's what he's there for.

          I think it's a question of price drops. I reckon that much of Zlatan's remaining ownership is in 'dead' teams and I might therefore get away with 1 drop. If so I might hold. United's run (especially 16-19) is attractive and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him on a run of goals now.

          Undecided is the short answer. Is he in your team? What are you doing?

          1. Rhinos
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            no i swapped for Lukaka a few gameweeks ago and haven't looked back. Respected your kun to Ibra move though as a fellow non kun manager. Hope you have some man city though, palace defence is mega lols

          2. devils advocate

            Hi Ruth. 🙂

            I'm curious to know, did you bring Ibra into all 3 of your teams?

            Unlucky on the experiment btw. 😉

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 12 months ago

              You have nothing better to do than to come on here, search for my posts and troll me? Is that what passes for entertainment for you?

              Sad.

              1. devils advocate

                😆

                Touchy!

                I don't search for your posts and wouldn't even know how. I do read every page and every post on this site though. 😉

                No need to get so defensive or abusive either. I was just asking a question and trying to start a discussion. 🙁

                I think you're really sad to give yourself so much self importance that you'd think I'd search for you. 😆

      So much this

  22. Albert Cole
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    When did Coutinho rise?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      This morning

  23. Albert Cole
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Would you want Firmino,Coutinho or Mané, if you're just getting one?

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Coutinho but it's complicated by Brazil having a late set of games on the break

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Coutinho these days.

    3. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Coutinho long term. Mane has the biggest direct goal threat of the 3 imo but his style isn't great for baps (dispossessions, offsides). Firmino sits somewhere in between.

    4. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I couldn't decide so I went both

    5. JaydenLFC87
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Is a hard Decision but i have had Firmino since day 1

    6. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Mané if it's immediate. Firmino and Coutinho have games on the 11th and 15th before the Liverpool game on the 19th. Not back until the Thursday in other words. Mané only has one game, on the 12th. He looks certain starter at Southampton, injury permitting.

      Otherwise get whoever is cheapest. They are all good choices.

  24. Mini Mane Mo
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    What's everyone's thoughts on Harry Kane? If he scores against WH, will you get him in, CHE next game or wait until GW 14 (SWA) or GW16 (Hull) to bring him in? and at whose expense? Lukaku will be gone if he doesn't improve.

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Nope can't afford him and can't see spurs being as explosive as some other teams

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Ps doesn't improve? Tough school

  25. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Snodgrass/Allen to Walcott
    Sanchez to Hazard

    -4

    Yes or no ( thanks in adavance)

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      God no

    2. Fitzy.
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Fore sure! Walcott not that far behind Sanchez, Hazard way ahead of Snoddy/Allen.

    3. Fitzy.
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Lol, there's a couple of differing opinions for you!

      1. Rhinos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Only one of thems right though 😛

        1. Fitzy.
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Agree... 😉

  26. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Is this worth a -4?

    Walker and Shaq out
    Clyne and Chadli in

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Not sure about Pool def returns but Chadli is a good pick if he is back after int

  27. JaydenLFC87
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Will Snoddy and Mane Score 4 more points than Sanchez & De Roon next GW??

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      No because Alexis will get a hatty

    2. Respect My Authoritah

        Prediction is all im after bro

  28. lilmessipran
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Who would you have as a 4th mid for the next 3-4 gws?
    A allen
    B snodgrass
    Not enough money for gundogan

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Snoddy for me but then I'm biased still gutted he ever left

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'm a big Snodgrass fan, but I think Allen for the next 3

  29. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    A) Defoe and Ozil
    B) Costa and Allen / Snodgrass (6.6 for 4th midfielder)
    C) Lukaku and Siggy (or 7.3 for 4th mid)

    Wild card team

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Prefer A the most.

      Also like Costa & Snoddy but if you have Hazard then A.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      A for me. Defoe is fantastic value and Ozil has some great fixtures coming up

  30. TheEgyptianKing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Let me tell you a story about how lucky my brother is

    He had Sterling captain, Hazard vice and Defoe 1st sub

    Extra 30 points because sterling didnt play for some reason

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Of sterling had played city would have win 7-0 5 goals sterling. You dodged a bullet
