Fixtures

Frisking the Fixtures – Gameweek 30 – The Weak

After analysing those teams that boast the kindest upcoming schedules yesterday, we now turn our attention to the sides who could be doomed to a downturn in points output over the next four-to-six Gameweeks.

West Bromwich Albion stand out as the only side facing a blank in Gameweek 34, while there is also concern surrounding Bournemouth and Manchester City assets over the month to come.

West Bromwich Albion

(mun, wat, SOT, LIV, (bla), LEI)

The Baggies are the only team that suffer a blank in Gameweek 34, while they have a number of tricky fixtures all the way to the end of the season.

The prospects for West Brom defenders certainly don’t look promising.

Manchester United, Southampton and Leicester City have all been in strong scoring form of late, while Liverpool have only failed to net in one of their last 17 matches.

Watford have also scored a reasonable six goals in their last three home matches, so defensive returns look set to be hard to come by over the coming period.

So while the goal threat of Gareth McAuley may earn the centre-back a stay of execution, it would be understandable if he’s now seen as being surplus to requirements, along with all others members of the Baggies’ backline.

It’s much the same story when assessing the outlook for the West Brom attack.

The Gameweek 30 trip to Old Trafford is unlikely to provide many chances for Tony Pulis’ side, while there’s no real plum fixture over the remaining match-ups.

Watford and Southampton have been conceding plenty of goals over the last few weeks, but those clashes aren’t expected to be enough for Fantasy managers to consider holding onto their Baggies attacking assets.

Bournemouth

(sot, liv, CHE, tot, MID, sun)

The Cherries only face two home fixtures in the next six, while the short-term prospects in general look bleak.

Chelsea and Spurs lead the way for clean sheets this season with 13 and 12 respectively, while a trip to Anfield may also prove somewhat tricky – the Reds have only conceded more than one goal at home on two occasions this term.

The Southampton fixture in Gameweek 30 is reasonable enough for Josh King’s 11.5% ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) to hold and play the in-form attacker – indeed, he remains the most transferred in midfielder since the last deadline passed.

But outside of the value offered by King, there looks to be no appeal in the Bournemouth ranks.

While the 2-0 win over Swansea City ended a run of nine matches without a clean sheet, it’s difficult to see the Cherries registering another shut-out over the next four Gameweeks.

As already mentioned, Southampton have been lethal in front of goal recently, scoring 10 in their last four matches, while as three of the four highest scoring teams this season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs will all be heavilty backed to breach the Bournemouth rearguard.

Those still clinging to a Bournemouth defender following Gameweek 28 will likely be hatching alternative plans.

In the long-term, Bournemouth’s exceptional fixtures from Gameweek 34 onwards provide some incentive to sit tight, but, with the focus on double Gameweek assets at that stage, it seems remiss to put too much stock in that spell.

Manchester City

(ars, che, HUL, sot, MUN, mid)

City also face just two home fixtures over the coming period and also take on three of their top six rivals.

It’s those matches against Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United, along with the Gameweek 33 trip to Southampton, where it’s difficult to see City maininting a recent run of clean sheets.

Pep Guardiola’s side have only conceded one goal in their last four matches, though, and the Hull City and Middlesbrough fixtures should present strong opportunities for further defensive returns.

But, with rotation a major factor, City defenders haven’t really been viable Fantasy options for the majority of this season. That certainly isn’t expected to change until perhaps the final weeks of the season, with another double Gameweek on offer.

Only Crystal Palace have conceded fewer shots from inside the box than Chelsea and United over the last four matches, so those fixtures don’t look particularly enticing for the City attack.

On the other hand, Arsenal have conceded nine goals in their last four, while the Hull City, Southampton and ‘Boro clashes all appear favourable.

Those still in possession of a City attacker following double Gameweek 27, there may be a temptation to sit still, particularly if more pressing transfers are required elsewhere.

Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane could all still be reasonable picks, almost as differentials, although the pricey Aguero looks to be a prime contender to be sacrificed for Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of United’s pair of Gameweek 34 fixtures.

Also be wary of…

Leicester City
While the in-form Foxes have two favourable home matches (STO, SUN) in the short-term, they then face four consecutive away fixtures (eve, cpl, ars, wba).

So although investment in the red-hot Jamie Vardy is understandable, he may find the going tougher against Everton and Palace, while Leicester will also have their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid to focus on.

Likewise, there is also set to be interest in Christian Fuchs, given that the left-back has produced a goal and an assist in his last three appearances, and could also bank some defensive points in the next two.

But clean sheets appear less likely in those four away matches, perhaps limiting the appeal of taking a shot-term punt on the Austrian.

Everton
It’s over the next two Gameweeks where there are concerns regarding Toffees assets, as they face difficult trips to Anfield and Old Trafford, while they also fail to offer a double Gameweek over the remainder of the season.

Ronald Koeman’s men also host Chelsea in Gameweek 35, but do face a fairly favourable run of fixtures (LEI, BUR, whm) in between.

However, given his phenomenal form, Romelu Lukaku seems unlikely to see his 46.7% ownership diminish just yet: the Belgian ranks top for transfers in ahead of the trip to Arsenal. But FPL Fantasy managers may not hold the likes of Ross Barkley in the same esteem, with the midfielder perhaps struggling to produce attacking points over the next few weeks.

Defensive returns are also expected to tail off over the next two Gameweeks, but the attacking threat on offer from Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines will likely see owners keep faith ahead of that more obliging run of fixtures.

Chelsea
The upcoming schedule for the leaders (CPL, MCI, bou, mun, SOT, eve) looks on paper, at least, one of the toughest they’ve had to face over the course of the season.

As mentioned, Palace are keeping clean sheets and limiting the number of shots they’re facing, while both Manchester clubs and Everton are all performing well at the back.

Diego Costa’s form has shown signs of fading and could suffer further over the upcoming period. More than 18,000 have so far shown him the door ahead of Gameweek 30. However, with a lack of options up front, at least until Ibrahimovic’s return, many of Costa’s remaining 39.6% ownership seem likely to keep him locked in for now.

The Chelsea outlook from a defensive point of view is similar, with shut-outs not really expected against both Manchester clubs and at Goodison Park.

The other three fixtures could yield defensive returns, though, and with Marcos Alonso and Gary Cahill delivering attacking points, they remain pretty strong options for our five-man backlines.

    Good afternoon, would it be wise to keep some budget to get Ibra in for DGW..or? Thanks

      Do whatever gets you the most points. Could always take a hit to get Ibra in or sell Aguero.

          Don't own Aguero and planning to go heavy with mids rather than forwards...

      Has to include some FPL view, with the exception of defensive midfielders, it's an accurate accreditation of points for performance.

      Courtois
      Coleman, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Marcos Alonso
      Kanté
      Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, Hazard
      Lukaku

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        FPL points doesn't correlate with how good a player is/has been.

        1. Jazz!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Cahill has made several errors this season. Been OK but definitely the 'worst' from the Chelsea back 3.

          1. Pariße
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            I wasn't aware of that, but it seemed fair to me to include as many Chelsea players as possible form their defence. If it's not him, it's Luiz.

        2. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          False, where do the points come from then? It's is very much related with certain players (defensive mids as I mentioned) being overlooked.

          1. Jazz!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            Players like Walcott and Pedro are FPL gold, but as players they aren't very good. David Silva has been class most of this season, isn't racking up many points. FPL just give points for goals/assists/CS. Alonso has been good yes, but he's racking up a lot mainly because of the position he is playing.

            1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 6 days ago

              Pedro isn't very good? 😕 He's only won a World Cup, European Championship, 3x Champions League, 5x La Liga, and soon the Premier League after an excellent season.

              1. Jazz!
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                7 years, 6 days ago

                I'm sure Chelsea fans would want a new RW ... He's good but not near world class I guess.

                  Don't get me wrong he's had an amazing season, but still think he's not at THAT level.

                You took the words out of my mouth! Yes, Pedro is "not very good" - I wish I'd been that average. Good to see he's having a proper season after last year's lull.

    Arrived at first in ML after trailing by 70 on last month
    First 5 contenders have Costa (less me).
    Should i go defensive and buy him (for Kane) or go with my gut and have Vardy or Deeney?

    Planned transfers (Baines+Kane to Valencia+Vardy)

    Thkx in advance

    1. Bruno Bruno!!

        yup, King, Lanzini, Doubledef Everton on last gws...and great planning for the 28!

    What's West Ham's formation with Obiang and Antonio out?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Hopefully Bilic can fit Snodgrass somewhere in team 😳

      Something like this I guess:

      Ayew-Snodgrass-Lanzini
      Carroll

      Feghouli will probably start over Snodgrass

      1. rjcv177
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        who to bench FPL wise next gw? Carrol or lanzini?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Carroll since Lanzini is on penos in Noble's absence

          1. rjcv177
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            really? good to know!
            Initial plan was lanz on bench because Carroll needs game fitness to get sharp (and he's getting minutes lately)

  8. Bruno Bruno!!

              This 😎

  10. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Antonio confirmed out for a few weeks?
    Siggy, King, Sanchez, Fletcher my other middies. Who to bring in?

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

      Eriksen/Alli

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Budget?

      Lanzini/Ayew/Tadic/Pedro

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

        He needs a spurs mid more than anything imo Holmes

        1. Scheister
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Ya, thinking Alli

        2. rjcv177
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          I'm an Alli owner and concerned about Burnley home fortress to be honest.
          Probably next week

        3. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          True that... Didnt knew his budget, tried to suggest in same price bracket 😛

      2. Scheister
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        4.0 itb, could swap for any midfielder

  11. Fergies fledgling
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Ibra and Valencia enough cover for the gw34 double game week?

    Or worth working in DDG and a Gibson / Fabio too?

    United midfield is a minefield and Palace's fixtures are awful.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Enough

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

      Valdes/Chambers/Gibson/Fabio + Zaha imo looks good imo. . .boro have nice fixtures

    3. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Expecting a turn in aproach for the next game of Boro.
      Might show us options for their attack.
      They have a GREAT run of fixtures (numbers wise) and we need cheap fillers 😉

  12. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Heaton, Pickford
    Walker, Maguire, Williams, Brunt, Holebas
    Sanchez, King, Siggy, Fletcher, Antonio
    Lukaku, Costa, Llorente

    4.0 itb
    Would like a few DGers, but no such middies catch the eye.
    Antonio to:

    A) Eriksen
    B) Alli
    C) Hazard
    D) Mane
    D) Tadic

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

      A or B

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

        Probablo do Brunt or Williams to Valencia for a hit too?

        1. Scheister
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Ha, that was my planned move

        2. Scheister
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          ...before Antonio

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    A. Pedro

    B. Tadic

    Replacement for Antonio. Thanks 🙂

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

      A . I like tadic though

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Pedro

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      This is the rest of the team:

      Heaton (Jaku)
      Walker Alonso Coleman (Pieters Evans)
      Siggy J. King Mane Antonio (Capoue)
      Costa Aguero Lukaku

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Would you like to play Capoue(if fit)?

        I think keeping Antonio on bench this week. Then next week, Aguero to someone like Defoe/Deeney and Antonio to Sanchez is worth considering

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Ideally not. Got a big head to head I need to win

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      A

  14. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Which is the better option
    A:Ayew and Vardy for Coutinho and Defoe
    B:Tadic and vardy for coutinho and defoe
    C:Keep coutinho and defoe
    D:Alli and bertrand for coutinho and Baines

    Thanks

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

      Just Cout to Alli or D

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      D is exciting

    3. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      B

  15. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Any midfield price rises look likely? Thinking of waiting a week to decide Antonio replacement.

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

      No

      1. Scheister
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks for your advice on this page

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

          No problem mate 🙂

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I'm looking at Alli. He'll probably be .1 more and Antonio .1 less but I aren't playing for Most Valuable Team

  16. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Any ideas for my team?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Coleman Brunt Pieters Robertson
    Sanchez Mane Eriksen Coutinho Siggy
    Lukaku Defoe Rondon

    0.3itb 1ft
    Prepared to take a hit
    Rondon and Coutinho to Costa and Carroll?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Nice move

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Those two out. Can't see much in Carroll. Davies instead?

    3. Postbox12
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Coleman to Valencia and Coutinho to Tadic

    4. Postbox12
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Rondon go Gabbi when fit

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Maybe a cheapie for dgw 34 instead of Carroll.

    6. MartialMatas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      can only afford 4.3 for the mid

  17. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Every team in the Norwegian league will have their own official fantasy team and compete against each other. Wish the FPL teams would do the same.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Really.

      do you mean they will tot up the pts each week from the entire team?

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        The teams have picked a Captain(at least strömsgodset) who then is in charge of the clubs team.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Crikey. So an actual team. Good stuff....I approve.

          One day Fantasy football will be recognised as a part and parcel of football...much like gambling is with horse racing.

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            I'm eagerly awaiting it getting Olympic status! 😉

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        They'll have a mini league with 16 teams. All real life teams will have their own fantasy team.

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

      Wow Thats brilliant .. and Cheers for organising the league . Any community article soon?

          That's good news!

  18. bobbysmith76
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Who to bench?
    A) Deeney (SUN (H))
    B) Llorente (MID (H))
    C) Lanzini (HUL (A))
    D) Sanchez (MCI (H))
    E) Mané (EVE (H))

    1. Postbox12
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Tough call. I'd say Lanzini

      1. Postbox12
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Thoughts on the below? 1ft and 1.3 ITB

        Hennessey/Pick ford

        Valencia/Walker/B Davies/Cedric/Fuchs

        Sanchez/Hazard/Alli/Siggy/King

        Lukaku/Defoe/Gabbi

        1. bobbysmith76
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          I'd drop Gabbi for the next few weeks. Maybe bring in Deeney?

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      A or C. A for me

  19. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Considering they expect Gabbi to be back for the MCI game in 33 should we those who are planning on having him for the doubles build our teams to accommodate I.e. have a gabbi placeholder in a 3-4-3? until he returns

    1. Postbox12
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Is he confirmed as out until then? If so might be worth getting a Negredo for Boro fixturws/double then switch for gabbi for his doubles

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        good point

    2. ChristoBisto
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah I'll likely hold Carroll until then and switch to Gabbi if he has a 35/36 double. Not hold Carroll as in cuddle, as in keep in fpl team

  20. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Does anyone else loathe Phil McNulty's writing for the BBC? His style is so convoluted I'm amazed he even got an internship at the BBC. You can tell his articles by the title sometimes.. "Defeat, but a display laced with promise for England".... Laced with promise? Yuck.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Yes, the headline, Germany 1-0 England: 'Defeat - but a display laced with promise for England' includes him quoting himself. This is quite amusing isn't it? lol

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Quite incredible. This was his worst article. It might be anyone's worst article.

        http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2012/02/arsenal_must_make_this_the_nor.html

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          And it includes this classic piece of nonsense:

          "Redknapp’s CV is no more dented by this loss than Arsenal’s problems have all disappeared as a result of 90 minutes"

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            This is quite a sentence isn't it?

            "If Wenger had a desire to pander as a populist, he would have bowed to the baying of the mob and substituted Theo Walcott to spare him the volume of criticism he was receiving from his own Arsenal fans as Spurs went 2-0 up in this magnificent exhibit for the Premier League."

            I tried reading it aloud, quite slowly and with appropriate intonations where necessary. I found I was getting quite angry towards the end and wanted to wring the writer's neck.

  21. Sonic Huth
    • 7 Years

    Planning to do
    Brunt + Antonio - Valencia + Pedro.
    Sound good?

    Rest of the team

    Heaton(jaku)
    Alonso-Coleman-Brunt-Mawson-Maguire
    Antonio-Alli-Siggy-Mane-King
    Luka-Llorente-Costa

    1. Sonic Huth

      1.5 ITb

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      Yep easy moves if any

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Yep

    4. Postbox12
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      No need to bin Antonio this week. I'd say just Brunt to Valencia and play 3-4-3. If you have 2 fts may as well sort out one of mawson or maguire for a boro defender as well

  22. Clifford☯
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Which transfer would you do ?

    A) Baines to Spurs Def(Rose/Walker)
    B) Coutinho to Sanchez
    C) both for (-4)

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      A this week, B next

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

      Both and wait for pressers

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      I think the Everton Liverpool game will be won by Everton, s just B.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years

        Just needs one goal to wipe off the CS though whatever you thinks (Liverpool Fan ) 😀

    4. Holmes

        1. Clifford☯
          • 7 Years

          Walker & Cedric looks like a nice combo.

      Gibson and Valencia. Save the spare cash for Ibra/Kane upgrades when necessary

    Thoughts on Gabbi to Negredo? Lots of nice fixtures and the double coming up. Would move to Kane post 34

      First Watch how they play under the new manager vs Swansea?

    I sold my Chelsea players for the dgw. Will I need to get them back?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐

      Yes they are the best team in the league

      Maybe, just for the sake of protecting rank...

      I'm not sure though, might not get anyone 😳

    Maybe it's the 5th time i am typing it today, still nothing clear...

    Heaton, Jaku
    Alonso, Baines, Brunt, Robertson, Friend
    Sanchez, Firmino, Barkley, Siggy, Carroll
    Lukaku, Costa, Llorente

    1.2m ITB, 1FT

    Any transfer advice?

    1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH

      Brunt 》》》》 Valencia

    2. Holmes

      Copy the content, wont have type again and again 😛

      Save FT or get rid of Barkley

      1. kalmoffit

        Barkley has been really good lately. And I ve been one of his biggest critics. Really looking forward to seeing how he does in the Derby

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      Brunt to Valencia Looks good.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      You don't have any Tottenham. And their fixtures look really good.

    5. Sahil Yadav

      I am ready to take hits. Was thinking of Barkley to Eriksen and Brunt to Yoshida this week. Next week i can do Baines to Valencia.

      Also Barkley to Alli is possible if I remove Friend/Robertson for Fernandez(since i am only short of 0.1m)

    I have an Idea I just want peoples opinions on.

    In GW34 use my WC Stock up on future DGW players but pick a couple of DGW players with doubles in 34

    Ibra Valencia Zaha maybe

    In GW35 I will put out my strongest team but my bench will be the following:

    Pickford (H) Bou Zaha (H) Bur Nyom (H) Lei Pieters (H) WHU

    To me thats a decent bench players only benched really because of DGW Fixtures

    Which leaves me all the arguably the better TC options in 37 Also more £ to spend on starting 11 instead of worried about bench players

    1. Paul

      you make a case 🙂

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Just a thought to consider using BB in 35, I think a strong SGW bench can be better than a weak dgw bench

    Just reading back today's offerings and noticed a couple of posts about defender transfer rumours....so fwiw....

    There's perhaps only one player, IMO, that every one of the potential CL big money teams could all do to sign from the remaking PL teams.

    VVD....every one of them could do with him.

    1. Jazz!

      Yea, everyone who needs a CB should be targeting him. Absolute quality.

    2. Paul
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      so true we can do with him

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years

      Oh yes. Kos and VVD would be very nice.

      The top clubs haven't done very well for CB signings of late right across the board. One or two ok signings and loads of sub standard ones. They need to up their game and look closer to home.

      1. Paul
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        exactly....plus Mustafi can be an understudy and develop..
        So that when it's nearing to Kos's retirement he is the perfect takeover
