Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Gameweek 31 is upon us and underway courtesy of a quartet of Tuesday night matches under lights.

In Fantasy terms, the focus will be on Old Trafford where Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns to the equation and Manchester United’s starting line-up against Everton.

Having once been owned by over 2.4 million FPL managers, he’s now part of just over half that number and, intriguingly, goes head-to-head with the new top owned asset in Everton’s Romelu Lukaku tonight.

The Toffees frontman will be under renewed pressure to deliver following his tepid display in Saturday’s Merseyside derby. With Ibrahimovic now returned ahead of United’s two double Gameweeks, Lukaku needs to show willing and perhaps produce points to stave off increasing sales.

Elsewhere, Leicester City’s renaissance receives its latest test with basement dwellers Sunderland at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes have won four successive Premier Leauge matches and, while Jermain Defoe is fit to start for the visitors, Jamie Vardy and company will be backed for another win and further returns.

Meanwhile, Burnley host Stoke City at Turf Moor with Tom Heaton the key asset on show, while West Brom make the trip to Vicarage Road with Gareth McAuley the big draw – he boasts six goals from corner kicks, with the Hornets conceding ten from set-plays, only Bournemouth have conceded more.

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

    Could go either way in my 'glamour' FFS Cup head-to-head with a top-10 HOFfer....reckon he's favourite on paper though :

    A Davies Origi +3
    B Valdes Yoshida Coutinho

      Slightly. You probably need a Saints clean sheet.

        I'm A, hopefully if there's a Phillipe masterclass, he'll be laying it all on a plate for Divock...

    Pretty close to impossible Man U get to Champs league via the PL. They are in Europa already. The only safe bet IMO is Ibra. I think it is time for City attacking assets even with a rotation fear.
    With Arsenal wanting at least 5th spot, Spurs needing good results, they must be the other go to teams for FPL.

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I honestly think both Palace and Boro are better bets for the doubles. I don't think I'll even get Zlatan.

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

        You could be right but I have Ibra and Valencia. Too late to change.

    2. Taffer

      Zlatan will play every game. It's what Mourinho does - grind his players into the ground until they hate him (Madrid)/ break down (Chelsea) and move on.

    What have been your problem positions this season?

    For me it's strikers. Only once (in week 2!) - have all three of my strikers scored in a game week. And I haven't even had two score since week 18. This has had a knock on effect to poor captain choices which has cost me all season.

    For next week I have Defoe, a 7.7m striker, as my third sub. Which just sums it up. If it wasn't for my midfield I doubt I would even be in the top million, can't put a foot wrong in there by comparison.

    I'm getting Benteke for the double, so I urge you all to avoid, for your sake.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Defenders for me... Hardly getting any clean sheets 😳

      Went with only 1 striker for few weeks due to the reason you have said.

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I've just had all the strikers at the wrong time. The only ones who've delivered have been Lukaku in bursts and Kane, who was superb for me.

        Pretty much every other major striker in game I've owned and they must have scored about four goals for me in total. My "third striker" spot hasn't scored at all since I had Gray.

        After his hat trick...

        I struggled with defence first ten but since then had Alonso and Brunt throughout and been fine coupled with Heaton.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Oh definitely, especially the 3rd striker. Wilson, Origi who I owned etc and then there wasnl Rondon and Benteke for others.

      Its so bad I managed to fly up the rankings on 352 and when I did need to rely on Barnes he got sent off. Did score in two games time though.

      But yeah forwards have been far more tricky to get right.

      My qualm is on the cheapies, let's not even go into the headache of the premium striker merry go round.

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

      My ignorance. Didn't get Lukaku and Costa for a long time. After getting Costa, he has been consistently getting 1/2 points. I think catching the bus late has been my biggest problem.

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        With my midfield, King, Allen, Siggy, Coutinho - I seem to have managed to get players just before they've hit a run. Even Sanchez and Hazard I've managed to hit every big score they've got.

        But up front the complete opposite. Entering my team is an absolute death toll for a striker.

        I mean look at Costa against Palace. He knew he was in my team. He knew.

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

      3rd striker has been unsuccessful all the way through for me. Awful

    5. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Third striker after Austin got injured. I persisted with 3-4-3, and courted Nacho and Rondon for the next 8 weeks instead of going 3-5-2 which has cost me dearly in the OR.

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

      My third striker (Gray/Negredo/Rashford/Austin/Iheanacho/Origi) scored 60 points in GWs 1-22 with just three goals and two assists before I finally gave up and switched to 3-5-2. I could have afforded Defoe a couple of times and didn't go for him so perhaps it was my own poor choices.

      Nice one! If I followed the A league closer id give it a crack.

  5. Atimis

    Would you consider Siggy to Sane for the weekend ? I also have Andy Carroll however moving him would involve -4....

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

      Same issue mate. I plan to do Siggy to Sane for the weekend. City vs Hull then Southampton is tempting me

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Do City not have Champions League midweek. Rest?

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years

          Erm they were knockef out lol.

            Well, this is awkward...

          Knocked out by Monaco I guess?

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years

      Done it already. Passes the eye test but jury out for FPL. A punt for me with Siggy price drop.

      Drop someone else?

      1. Atimis

        Just Carroll up front and Siggy are dropable

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not a bad shout, actually.

  6. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I've mentioned this a couple of times lately but think it's being skimmed over currently - Aren't most going to end up with Ibra for GW34 as he appears to be the best captain option? It would be brave to go for a single game player over a potential double one in my opinion.

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'll be captaining Zaha or Benteke for a laugh.

      Doubt Zlatan will play against Burnley.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This may be tempting if they keep up their form.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Chances of Ibra getting a chance in my team is looking pretty slim at this stage 😳

    3. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku is a great option that week. BUT double gameweek's are just fun.

  7. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    When is Kane back ? I don't trust Costa & Ibra as much as Kane...

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Week on Saturday I reckon

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

        I still own him, I surely must sell him for Ibra, Kun this week even though I couldn't get rid of him until now, right? πŸ˜‰

  8. ChristoBisto
    • 8 Years

    So far my gameweek rank is 4.2m, is that any good?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Could do better.

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      ha ha ha

      Close to mine πŸ˜›

      4.15m here πŸ˜‰

    4. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mine is similar ...... does the GW rank take into account hits? I suspect not, so I have another -4 to add to that. I'm currently on a net -1.

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It does not. Nice score. How many left? Might even get in to double figures!

        1. Old Man
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          2 off the bench from Pieters + 9 others inc Sanchez(c). Hoping for something to comfort my troubled soul. πŸ™‚

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

      My point is only -2

      Still have 10 player to go..

    6. Dreams
      • 7 Years

      No. I am 4.16m. Better than you.

    7. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3.99m. Not my worst GW rank this season!

  9. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who to play next week ?

    A) holgate (LEI)
    B) zaha (ARS)

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B. All day.

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha man

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Gibson or Bailly for double gameweek?

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson, guaranteed two starts. All they do is defend.

    2. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson is on my radar. He carries a (very) slight goal threat as well as being a BAP magnet.

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

        Cheers lads, I am thinking of getting him now for Williams or is that just stupid since he could always get injured tonight?

        1. Old Man
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry, the answer must be wait until after tonight's match.

        2. greghammer95
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Wait until 23pm tonight and then do it BUT only if one of their prices are changing.

  11. greghammer95
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else getting rid of Vardy this week? I'm going to bring in Ibra. Don't get me wrong I believe in form > fixtures. But four away games on the bounce isn't the kind of party I want to be in.

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      We'll definitely put in a lower key performance this weekend with Athletico looming, I'd make your change if for free.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy and mid 》Ibra and Zaha was always the plan...

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

      Woah, I did not realise that was 4 away games in the prem coming up.

    4. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It is a tough call, he is in form but away matches start now plus the CL match coming up. I checked back (and with a different manager now, not sure how relevant it is) but it didn't look like he was rested that much before previous PL matches. I might just keep and roll a FT.

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        For me, I don't actually see him being rested but Leicester have secured their safety over the last five so the PL is less of a priority than ever.

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

          actually it's 5 away in their next 6 league matches and obviously 1 away in the CL so 6 out of 8 matches on the road coming up.

          1. Pocky
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Selling for Aguero

  12. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    After weeks of hits I think it's time to save a few before Wild Card.

    Heaton
    Valencia / Davies / Alonso
    Sanchez / Alli / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Kun / Lukaku / Origi

    Jakupovic / Stephens / Maguire / T. Carroll

    1ft, .5itb, WC and BB available.

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing worth changing there, possibly Carroll to De Roon or Jaku to Valdes, but probably both are a waste of the transfer. Nice team.

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

    Any more talk about King and Walker not starting?

  14. McQueen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So how do we feel about Lukaku? Still a good option for next few? Do we think he'll get his chances or is EVE a different animal without Coleman and a few absentees?

    Cheers.

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

      I think he'll be fine. Look at what Lookman and Davies have brought to the squad, Everton are a confident side and I think they'll continue to be

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

        Yeah, didn't watch the game yesterday but from what I heard he could've been in points if he made a few assist when he needed to. I'm quite OK with that, as long as he's in dangerous areas. Cheers mate.

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

      I'm tempted to keep him. Will decide after the Bournemouth game.

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

        At the moment I'm keeping for sure.

    3. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping 100% for the next 3 fixtures. No-one I would want more, shipping Vardy now and bringing in Ibra.

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

        Cheers mate. It's good to hear I'm not alone in this thinking.

    4. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd certainly hold for the next two. The expected Foxes performance this Sunday will be lower key with next Wednesday's away match in Madrid.

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

        Cheers mate, it makes sense, agree. Ibra - Lukaku the best two for next few if playing 3-5-2 I guess.

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Still would like to keep given his recent output. My issues are with Kun and Llorente.

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

        Kun takes away a lot of money agree. Quite a few cheaper options delivering same numbers. Sane could cover him maybe... decisions.

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

      I think he's definitely worth keeping or maybe even worth buying for the next 3.

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

        Cheers.

      2. Sané Mané Hap…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Same dilemma for me. Am thinking that I'll swap one of Vardy/lukaku for Ibra/aguero. I have just about got the exact money for that.

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

      I've seen him worse. He looked inspired, pressed a lot and made a few runs, even though he did not always suceed. Could have gotten a few assists, and would have scored if the service was better.

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

        I like that. Hoping he keeps going for that golden boot.

    8. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Potentially playing against Lei reserves on Sunday afternoon

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

        Good point, probably CL will really be their priority when in busy schedule.

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

    What do we make of these reports on Kane? Is a case of Lamela and Rose all over again? If he is fit, how likely is he to start against Bournemouth, they've won 2 games without him and should beat Swansea and Watford comfortably. Will there be a need to start Kane and risk him before the FA Cup match with Chelsea?

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

      Poch said atleast a fortnight. I don't think he starts against Bournemouth might get a few minutes in the end but I think he's back for Semi Final and GW34 onwards.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Last I read Poch targeting Fa Cup Semi.

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

    Big week in our ML, we've been neck in neck for a few weeks. He edged 2pts ahead after last night , but hope I'll turn that around tonight. Big night for Alexis I hope... (I'm A, we share Eriksen too) :

    A Davies Alonso Siggy Alli Origi San(C)hez
    B Jakupovic Hazard Costa (C)outinho +2

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I hope that Eriksen is quiet tonight, but I fear him. You look favourite from those two lists.

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

        Hoping City keep Chelsea quiet and Coutinho does a Coutinho...

  17. TOPCAT1960
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do this for -8

    Sterling, Firmino, King > Coutinho Sane Zaha

    Just a mad thought or any merit

    1. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Too sideways. Just King to Zaha is enough.

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

      Leave Firmino and Sterling. Almost sideways

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

      That's alot of points for losing two players Who could on their day gain as many points or more than Coutinho and Sané.

      nah. who gets the points between Cout / Firm and Sterl / Sane is a lottery. Have a little patience. King -> Zaha may be good though, considering the doubles.

    Save FT this GW, assuming no injuries tonight?

      Yep I'd save

      Will you be saving if Sanchez gets a brace?

    Any interest about IPL fantasy here? Shall we set up a FFS league?

    I noticed Parm and a few others were interested earlier.

    Good morning everyone. Assuming Llorente is OK for the weekend would you save a FT with this lot?

    Foster
    Yoshida, Alonso, Brunt
    Sigurdsson, Sanchez, Hazard, Alli
    Lukaku, Aguero, Llorente

    subs: Heaton --- Holgate, Robertson, Clayton --- 1 FT, 0.2 ITB

    1. Legomane
      • 8 Years

      Sure, nice team

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. There will be few tempting transfers like Brunt -> B.Davies or Llorente to Origi. But with DGW's approaching saving could be the best option.

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

      Start Holgate over Yoshida.

    1. Pocky

      Another very mixed bag...

  22. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you wildcard this team?

    Jaku
    Valencia, McAuley*, Brunt*
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Firminho*, Siggy*
    Costa*, Lukaku, Llorente*

    (Grant*, Smith*, Pieters*, Kightly*)

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

      No- Just sell McAuley or Brunt and maybe Costa (though he does have a juicy fixture).
      I've decided that Siggy Llorente double up is too much myself...may regret that, but I did Origi in for Llorente. reckon Siggy > Sané this week is a valid option too. I plan to keep Siggy, but bring in Aguero as city cover see below

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting options, cheers. Yeah I'll probably just ditch Brunt and hope for the best.

  23. Legomane
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Sigurdsson
    Vardy Lukaku Origi

    (Pickford Pieters ASmith TCarroll)

    1 FT 2.9 ITB

    I have this feeling that Sergio is going very big this weekend...please no injuries to foil Vardy>Aguero switch...

    Am I ignoring anything more important?

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah that move looks good, go for it.

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

        Cheers. Excitement levels approaching GW27... bound to fail again

  24. Ribus
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2 questions:

    1) Is GW 34 fix? Are there no other games potentially in this GW?

    2) before GW 34, is there an other potentially DGW excluded?

    Thank you very much. Planing my WC now.

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

      Should be fixed- confirmation of all remaining fixtures is expected by Friday at the latest. I'd hold that WC trigger finger steady till confirmation.

  25. FPLHaggis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you WC this?

    Valdes Pick
    Alonso Walker Sakho Cedric FM*
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Siggy Sterling
    Lukaku Defoe Barnes (0.0 itb)

    to this lot :

    Valdes Pick
    Alonso Walker BERTRAND PVA HOLGATE
    Sanchez SANE Alli ZAHA TCARROLL
    Lukaku KUN ORIGI (+1.3M itb)

  26. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If you can get Aguero into this team without losing a good player with a good fixture and without going hits crazy, I will doff my cap to you and I will admit that you are a better FPL manager than me πŸ™‚

    Grant

        That makes no sense.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      King to de Roon, Costa to Kun.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting. Although I only just got rid of DeRoon two GWs ago.

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If you want to keep Costa, you might consider selling Lukaku instead. Downgrading Alonso to Valencia also might work.

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

      Coutinho to Sané but then you're double City

      Brunt to Chambers

      King to DeRoon

      Or Alonso out

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

      Costa / Coutinho/Siggy to Kun Zaha/Sane and Kun for -4 but I don't think it's worth it.

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

        Meaning one of the Cou/Siggy but like I said not worth it, get Ibra and Sane and forget about Kun πŸ˜‰

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

      Our teams are similar (see above), I will have Aguerooooo over your Costhuh though

    6. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For gw32 I'd rather have Aguero and Sané than Costa and Coutinho.

      Cant you just downgrade Brunt to a starting def with an ok fixture and upgrade Costa to Aguero? You already have 1.5 itb and that would only mean one hit

    7. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously a trick question.

      But punt on Lukaku 》Benteke and Costa 》Aguero.

    8. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure I want to lose Costa away to Bournemouth.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Well you are quite comfortable bringing in an expensive forward who only seems to score single goals. Having two would be an over kill. πŸ˜‰

    9. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Costa->Kun.
      Siggy ->Ward Prowse
      King->De Roon.

      How yer lookin'?

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

    im not gonna keep vardy for everton, as im sure they will focus (and i mean very focus) on champions league and rest few key players, and they are now quite safe from relegation. So lukaku (C) next week. Any thoughts?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      *Kaku for LEI

      1. Atimis

        Sorry wrony post πŸ˜‰

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

      Agreed. I didn't see the point of bringing in Vardy for just two good games.

  28. Moose™
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Time to save a FT?

    Foster

    Valencia Baines Nyom

    Sanchez Alli Siggy King

    Kun(vc) Zlatan(c) Lukaku

    Subs: Jaku Tarroll Fernandez Robertson

    1FT & 0.4ITB

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

      Yep - good team. The support cast for Baines and Valencia will probably need an upgrade as some point though.

      1. Moose™
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Been thinking to double up on City, get Sane in but I do not know whether dropping Siggy is a wise move.

        Next week, planning to do this transfer:

        Foster + Nyom + Siggy --> Pickford + Gibson + Sane

        -4, wise plan?

    2. ANON.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bring in a Boro def maybe and play over Nyom?

      1. Moose™
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cant afford Gibson. Chambers is coming back?

        1. ANON.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure. I'm looking at doing the same. Just need to find out which one of them to get

  29. Killers
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Captained Sanchez over vardy..

    Don't know how to feel.

    People in the same boat ?

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

      Brace incoming πŸ˜€

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Loads.

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

      Feeling very comfortable. Sanchez was the obvious choice.

    4. Make Arrows Green Again

    Morning all, hows this lot looking?

    Heaton - Jakupovic
    Alonso - Walker - Valencia - (Robertson) - (Chambers)
    Sanchez - Alli - Son - Siggy - (T Carroll)
    Lukaku - Vardy - Llorente

    1FT £4.2ITB

    Thinking of a potential Vardy > Kun move for 1ft considering the patters fixtures. Yay or nay?

    1. ANON.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think I'd rather get Ibra than Kun

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        United not scoring enough goals.
