This Much We Know – Gameweek 21

Spurs’ rampant form continues to spoil us for choice. Antonio Conte’s call to Nathan Ake sparks Marcos Alonso into action, while Everton’s alignment of form and fixtures may just prove irresistible.

Peter Crouch’s renaissance picks up pace to offer an unexpected option up top, while Junior Stanislas reaps the benefit of Callum Wilson’s bench role. We learned this and more from Gameweek 21…

We could do with four Spurs slots…
A 4-0 win over West Brom saw hat-trick hero Harry Kane hog the headlines and spark a scramble for his FPL services, with over 100,000 managers already pushed to seal his signature ahead of Gameweek 22.

But the weekend Baggies battering once again underlined the multitude of options among Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Christian Eriksen’s sixth double-figure haul in the last nine Gameweeks overshadowed last week’s man of the moment Dele Alli, yet the latter still found time to earn an assist, with the pair neck and neck on 121 points – joint-third in the FPL midfielders standings.

Although Pochettino’s side have now fired 14 goals in the last four fixtures, it’s not all about their attack. Spurs also boast the league’s most resilient rearguard, with 14 goals against, with the recent switch to a 3-4-2-1 strengthening the claim of raiding wing-backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker.

With a trip to out-of-sorts City preceding clashes against Sunderland and Middlesbrough, the north London club seem ripe for investment – the only problem we have is restricting our options to just three picks.

It’s also the only factor that can possibly calm even greater interest in Kane.

Alonso is unmoved by Ake recall…
Antonio Conte’s decision to recall Nathan Ake from a loan stint at Bournemouth sparked fears that Marcos Alonso’s starting role in the Chelsea line-up was at risk.

But Ake failed to even make the bench, while the Spaniard stepped up his form with a brace away to Leicester, dispelling any concerns over pitch time – at least for now.

A stunning 21-point haul at the King Power Stadium took Alonso to the top of the FPL defender standings – all the more impressive given that he wasn’t handed his first start until Gameweek 7.

With a goal, assist or clean sheet in 13 of his 15 appearances in Conte’s first XI, the summer signing from Fiorentina is an efficient point-scoring machine – the only real surprise is that his ownership still hovers below 10%.

There’s still no argument for not having Heaton…
Burnley’s number one turned in yet another defiant display to earn a fourth double-figure haul of the season in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Southampton.

Whether it’s clean sheets, save points or both, Heaton continues to laugh in the face of his 4.9 price tag – a ten-point return against the Saints means he is now the best value player, in terms of points per million, across the game.

Heaton has made more saves (88) than any other asset between the sticks, while a total of 16 bonus points is more than twice the tally of any stopper and also better than all FPL defenders.

Just one point shy of Thibaut Courtois at the top of the keeper standings, the Clarets’ custodian continues to look the fire and forget option for any wildcards going forward.

A benched Wilson is a boosted Stanislas..
With Callum Wilson named amongst the Bournemouth substitutes, his spot-kick taking deputy was an early beneficiary away to Hull City.

Stanislas’ third-minute converted penalty boosted his stock further as a budget option in midfield. Priced at a mere 5.2, he’s produced a goal or assist in each of his last three appearances and, more impressively, has averaged 5.5 points per match this season.

Bearing in mind that Wilson has started just two of the last six rounds of fixtures and has managed 90 minutes on just two occasions from Gameweek 8 onwards, the potential of penalty duties look promising for the 3%-owned Stanislas.

Back-to-back home encounters against Watford and Palace merely strengthen that appeal, allowing us to free up cash to accommodate Kane or Romelu Lukaku alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic up top.

Crouch is a third budget striker we can start…
With three goals and two assists in a trio of starts, you have to wonder why Mark Hughes has taken so long to turn to the weapon that is Peter Crouch.

Ironically, an injury to Jon Walters, allied with Wilfried Bony and Mame Biram Diouf’s departures to the Africa Cup of Nations, has somewhat forced Hughes’ hand but, with his size 15s in the door, the Stoke striker has grabbed his opportunity.

Over the last three Gameweeks, only Kane has managed more efforts in the opposition box than Crouch, whose tally of nine is on a par with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of their showdown at the bet365 this weekend.

At just 4.8, Crouch’s recent output has shown that he’s far more than just a cheap enabler perched awkwardly on our benches. You only have to ask his manager.

Sanchez wants to be front and centre…
The withdrawal of Olivier Giroud in Saturday’s thrashing of Swansea City allowed the Chilean to highlight just why he’s Fantasy gold through the middle for Arsenal.

There’s no denying that Giroud has more than merited his chance to lead the line, netting in four successive matches since nailing down a regular role in Arsene Wenger’s XI.

Yet his installation to the starting line-up has somewhat derailed Sanchez’ momentum – indeed, his 11-point return at the Liberty was a first double-figure haul since Gameweek 14 away to West Ham.

With concerns still surrounding the ankle complaint that saw Giroud withdrawn, Sanchez owners will be braced for the prospect of three plum fixtures in four as Wenger’s men prepare to welcome Burnley, Watford and Hull City to the Emirates.

The honeymoon hasn’t even started for Big Sam…
Having amassed just one point in his four matches in charge, it’s fair to say that Sam Allardyce has yet to make an impact on Crystal Palace’s fortunes.

Wilfried Zaha’s decision to leg it to the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast has hardly helped, yet the new man in charge has done little to get the best from Christian Benteke. The Belgian has now gone six matches without returns and, more worryingly, failed to register a single attempt in the weekend rout at West Ham.

Big Sam’s fondness of clean sheets has yet to materialise either, and on the back of three straight losses, he’ll need to add more than just Jeffrey Schlupp to his options if that record of having never tasted top-flight relegation is to stay intact.

Everton’s flourish is well timed…
In retrospect, that gritty 2-1 win over Arsenal back in Gameweek 16 was a sign of things to come.

Ronald Koeman’s side had struggled up to that point, but Sunday’s thrashing of Manchester City continued the form that has brought four victories and a draw in the last six rounds of fixtures.

Everton have served up three clean sheets and 11 goals in the last previous four Gameweeks, building momentum perfectly ahead of a run that pits them against Palace, Stoke City, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough and Sunderland in the upcoming five.

Romelu Lukaku and Leighton Baines – back on spot-kick duties – are undoubtedly the top attractions, yet Koeman’s decision to take a leaf out of Pochettino’s book and roll out a 3-4-2-1 could also see us dip into his midfield for investment.

Ross Barkley has bagged one goal and four assists in six now – he’d previously managed two goals and one assist in the first 15 Gameweeks. With Kevin Mirallas putting City to the sword with a goal and assist (his third set of returns in four), Goodison looks a popular place to shop for FPL managers over the foreseeable future.

Pep’s failings threaten to close the case on Aguero…
Never mind the tiki-taka, Pep Guardiola’s installation at the Etihad was meant to elevate Sergio Aguero onto the next level of “essential” as a Fantasy football prospect.

Instead, the Spaniard’s arrival in Manchester is turning into fool’s gold as far as Sergio is concerned.

Two suspensions, both for violent conduct, have seen the Argentine sit in the stands for six of the first 21 Gameweeks. Even when on the pitch, he’s cut a forlorn and frustrated figure, with Sunday’s failure at Goodison taking his tally to one goal in four league outings.

Even at a time where Diego Costa’s owners scout for premium-priced alternatives, it’s Kane, Lukaku and Ibrahimovic we’re turning to as the men most likely, with the 12.8-priced Aguero – almost unthinkably – looking increasingly surplus to requirement as Pep desperately seeks solutions to his side’s ailing form.

      Sadly nothing offical.

    2. Bobby_Baggio

      Nothing official - only thing i have read is sources believe it is not serious

    3. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Read last night that ankle not as bad as feared! Should be available on Sunday. He is a bit of a girls blouse at times!

  5. Shirokov(c)
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is this defence too expensive?

    Alonso(6.4) - Rose(5.9) - Baines(5.5) - Jones(4.8) - Amat(4.0)

    Looking to do Pieters to Baines this week and wondering if it's worth having all this money tied up in defence?

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Your not going to play Jones much, so surely you can have a 4.5m defender instead?

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I could. Not worth a transfer atm though

      2. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why wouldn't he play Jones much? Man U have a good defensive record and an excellent set of fixtures

    2. naanda
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      what's the whole team look like and what formation

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Foster
        Alonso - Rose - Baines/Jones
        Sanchez - Pogba - Lallana - Phillips
        Ibra - Giroud - Defoe

        1.5 itb to upgrade midfield/forwards.

        1. naanda
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You look peachy I'd stick with.
          In fact I'm slightly jealous 😉

          1. Shirokov(c)
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers, looking at shifting Lallana/Pogba soon though. Lack of Spurs is worrying.

            1. naanda
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Eriksen allll day

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jones to Middlesbrough defence. Rotates well with Baines

    4. Pazdannavaro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No. I have first 3 with Brunt and Yoshida and really happy with that.

    5. Dedalus1
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you're planning on playing 3 at the back, swap Jones for Holgate and play the main three.

    6. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Im going o have the same back 3 with Chambers instead of Jones.

    7. Ridcully
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That is a very good defence.

    8. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It pays to play with goalscoring full backs! Rose Alonso and Baines great picks!

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

      No

  6. Sess!
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Spurs Def (Rose/Walker), Alli, Eriksen, Kane

    If you triple up, who misses out?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli although I'm probably going to be missing Kane out of the trio

      1. Sess!
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I guess like football, FFS is a fickle place. It was only last week people were asking whether they should do Eriksen > Alli.

        It's a tough one for sure as Kane looked on fire at weekend and Eriksen and Alli will continue to take it in turns for points. I'm wondering whether to sacrifice a spurs def and go double chelsea def instead (maybe after the liv, ARS games).

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I'd say Spurs' defence is more of a reliable source for points than tripling up on their attack.

          Was planning on doing the same, ideally go to have a backline of Alonso Luiz Rose in 3 weeks funded by Haz->Pedro

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane for me.

    3. Richd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You don't need spurs. I've had none and I'm still 80k.

      People get carried away

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm saying 1 maybe 2 is plenty

    4. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Do you ever do any work 😉

    5. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli will still probably outscore Eriksen come the end of the season so it has to be Eriksen for me.

    6. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just Rose/Alli for me.

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

      Alli

    8. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen the assist king, so it is Alli for me

    9. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Defs. There are better competitors for defs slots than mids. Is there really much difference between Rose/Walker and Alonso, Azpi, Bellerin, Baines, and the value of Brunt?

  7. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Morning DZ

    Mannone Jak
    Alonso Brunt Holebas Pieters Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Alli Phillips
    Ibra Giroud Barnes
    1.9ITB

    Should Giroud be injured, would you do
    a) Giroud+Pieters->Lukaku+Baines
    b) Giroud+Pieters->Defoe+Rose
    c) Other

    I'd do the defender transfer next week anyway

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Only if Giroud is injured i'd do A

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

      Morning.

      Tough. Probably A

  8. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    After GW22:
    Jones to Rose
    Hazard to Coutinho
    Giroud to Kane

    Or

    Jones to Baines
    Hazard to Dele
    Giroud to Kane

    Makes sense??

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Both are good.

      The Q is Coutinho or Alli and Rose or Baines.

      Depends on your team. I say Alli (if you don't have Eriksen) and flip a coin on the defenders. Probably Rose for me

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Have Eriksen !

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

    ----I have no clue what to do-----
    -Evans won't give me goals or cleans
    -Allan is stale

    Foster
    Evans Azpi Alonso
    Eriksen Lallana Allan Sanchez
    Aguero Ibra Rondon

    Ake Amat DeRoon Jaku

    1FT (0.3 ITB)

    My defence needs diversifying

    ...help a brother out

    bottomed

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kun -> Kane
      Then leave.

      1. naanda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        took the plunge. Hope King Kun doesn't reawaken

    2. Pazdannavaro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kun >> Kane/Lukaku
      Ake/Amat >> Baines

      1. naanda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That's bootiful man.
        I just took a -4 for it

  10. Shirokov(c)
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Investing in Spurs attack at some point this season would probably be a good decision...

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Where have you been?

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Making my way up the ranks

    2. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      At least two seems required given their form and upcoming fixtures.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Feels good to read this when youre already on a Triple up of Rose, Eriksen & Alli

  11. BERGKOP

    Coutinho(c)

    Who's with me?!

    1. Shirokov(c)
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, he'll probably only get 45-60 minutes if he does start.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Based on what exactly?

        1. Shirokov(c)
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Managing his minutes and Liverpool's fixture schedule.

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

      All the other crazies.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      maybe a decent pick, just be wary they have southampton semi and then chelsea at home next 2 after swansea

      Expect some mins though

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Liverpool need the 3 points no matter who the opposition is Klopp with play his best side available, not to mention Coutinho needs the match fitness.

        He won't play anything less then 70mins imo - more then enough

    4. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho great pick!! Think he will start against Swansea, Liverpool will put in lots of 2nd teamers against Plymouth. Swansea woeful at the back

  13. St. Joseph

    Without important african player(s) is it worth (-4) to do
    Cabaye ---> Stanislas this week?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No for a hit.Cabaye not so bad fixtures free kicks ,corners ,maybe penalties.

      1. St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He played so so deep in that messed up team

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Its a tough choice.Stanislas good pick fot the next 2-3 but don't know if it's worth for a hit.

          1. St. Joseph
            • 8 Years

    Looking at Evertons fixtures, what does everyone think about Davies as a 5th MID at only £4.3m?

      Big ask to keep his place but he is a good enough enabler for the time being

    2. Dedalus1
      • 8 Years

      watchlist

    3. parm_b
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He's good enough to keep his place and was probabaly MoM in the last game but the only problem is who's place will Morgan Schneiderlin take? Hopefully Gareth Barry!

      at £4.3m I'm surprised no one has really mentioned him?

    4. Zebras
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He's been on my watchlist past 2gw. He looks a certain starter given his form. If it weren't for a hit, I'd have him in v. Palace for sure

  15. stjohnstones
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Foster (Grant)
    Baines Walker Lovren (Ake) (Cedric)
    Hazard Eriksen Alli Stanislas (Allen)
    Ibra Lukaku Carroll

    0.4 ITB 0FT

    Look set for this GW? No Arsenal coverage seems remiss, Allen a bit of a dead horse, defenders could do with a bit of work and SV not great. But save WC for a few weeks?

    1. Ëð
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would probably look to get Sanchez in somewhere.

      1. stjohnstones
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I know - it's tough without a big squad overhaul. Been missing him all season but don't have the value to get him in without destroying attack or midfield.

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Look at downgrading Hazard to Pedro and then upgrading one of the Spurs mids to Sanchez

          1. stjohnstones
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Good shout - will keep an eye on Pedro over next week or 2. Cheers!

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

      Fair bit of coin on the bench.

      I'd save WC. You can get by I reckon.

  16. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton, Pickford
    Luiz, Evans, Amat, Holebas, Pieters
    Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Phillips, De Roon
    Ibra, Giroud, Defoe

    £2.9m ITB. 1FT. Anything you guys would recommend for this week? Or should I save the transfer?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Defence could do with freshening up, Holebas to Walker/Rose/Baines

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Only thing stopping me is that I want to use funds to upgrade Giroud -> Kane after this weekend. Are there any cut price options?

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Chambers is a decent option

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

      Pieters > Baines

    3. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Holebas > Rose/Baines or Defoe > Lukaku

      1. karvs155
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If you want Kane in, then Holebas or Pieters -> Chambers/Friend

    4. parm_b
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      De Room > Davies (EVE)

  17. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Randolph, Jaku
    Alonso, Holebas, Evans, (Ake, Amat)
    Sanchez(c), Eriksen, Lallana, Phillips, (Fletch)
    Kun, Ibra, Gru

    0FT, 0.3 idb. If Evans is out Ake -> Chambers/Friend.

    Any suggestions?

    1. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit.

      What's your previous FT?

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        siggy > eriksen

        1. St. Joseph
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Well.. ake dropping another 0.1 is not a big deal for u.

          Solid team.

          1. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            but evans out mean that I cant field 3 defs. is it worth a hot and who out of chambers/friend? friend is 0.1 cheaper.

            1. St. Joseph
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I'd go friend.

              More attacking

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would do that anyway.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        thanx. chambers or friend as the latter is 0.1 cheaper

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          chambers more nailed?

          1. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            thanx

  18. Troopon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Foolishly swapped Kane for Aguero when City played Burnley home and Spurs were playing Chelsea. Could do with the extra money.

    Foster (Grant)

    Vertonghen Alonso Yoshida (Holebas Love)

    Sanchez hazard Phillips Allen (De Roon)

    Aguero Ibra Rondon

    My transfer this week will be Vertonghen > Baines given his injury. Next week I'm hoping I can finally sort out the Allen issue.

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      sounds good

  19. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best Replacement for Giroud if hes out?

    A) Defoe - (Fixtures not so good but consistent)

    B) Rondon - (Good Fixtures and helps me raise funds for Alonso in 3 gameweeks)
    Can rotate him with Chambers & Mee.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Out of them 2 i'd go with form so Defoe

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would gamble with B

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yea even I feel like gambling with B I have cover for his away matches when West Brom dont attack that much.

    3. karvs155
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      A

  20. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Will Aguero to Kane count as chasing points?

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Id say so.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      aguero has a good run coming up

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      wh/SWANS/bourn

  21. Boydinho
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Not much of a FPL prospect but Martin Olsson has signed for Swansea. The Norwich LB finally got out.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      kingsley bandwagon derailed

      1. Boydinho
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't knew it was one

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      queue the mass influx of costa buyers!

  22. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Facing a dead team in the fifth round of the cup that was only created in GW 14. Ibra(c), Defoe, Ozil, Phillips and a loaded defense with Cech, Kos, Azpi, Lovren. Yikes.

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      those teams are impossible to beat in the cup

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Relying on Spurs thrashing City now. His defense will just destroy mine. Andre Gray better step up.

  23. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Yes or no for a -4 hit

    Out: Costa, McAuley, Jones
    In: Defoe, Rose, Alonso

    (Already have Azpi)

    1. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth a hit, especially if costa available vs hull

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      save FT imo (if Costa is fit)

    3. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No.

  24. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hi y'all.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Heya

  25. Champione
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Are we still captaining Alexis if Giroud is ready to start? Alexis looks hungry for goals but when the opponents play deep vs Arsenal, I think he's too much involved in the build up play. Considering Hazard myself

  26. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Giroud might actually be a very shrewd purchase if fit.

    1. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've got him so 0% chance of that 😀

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bought him last GW/

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on Theo. Welbz is fit too. So is Perez.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Gru on fire as the other guys not so much

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        wally won't be fit. welbz have missed 2 yrs.

  27. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcard team:

    Heaton (Jaku)

    Alonso - Rose - Yoshi (Smith, Holebas)

    Phillips - Pedro - Eriksen - Sanchez (Davies)

    Ibra - Kane - Rondon.

    Then look at Rondon - Carroll (if fit) next week.

    Still not 100% - What do you guys think???

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah...lose Rondon and Pedro.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed. Lose Rondon and Pedro.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Get rid of Smith and Holebas

      Rondon to Barnes and get a better 5th mid to start and actually score points

    3. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys

  28. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have Eriksen & Will have Kane
    Which one:
    1. Coutinho/Lalana/Pedro and Rose
    2. Dele and Baines

    Cheers !

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years

      Coutinho Rose

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
