The Stock Check – Gameweek 34 – Wednesday

Spurs grind out a vital victory, Arsenal need help to triumph and Middlesbrough pick up their first three points of the year on a dour but important night of Premier League fare. A long and meandering Gameweek 34 is nearly over, with few well-owned assets enjoying a profitable Wednesday night.

Here’s the Stock Check…

On the Rise

Christian Eriksen
In the rush to pick up Spurs stars for their Double Gameweek 37, the Danish midfielder has been rather left behind.

More than 30,000 managers sold Eriksen ahead of their trip to Selhurst Park and he duly punished that lack of faith with a stunning winner to keep the title race alive and his loyal 18% ownership happy.

That’s three goals and as many assists over the last six Gameweeks for Eriksen. Add in nine bonus points, including a maximum last night, and he’s provided 49 points over that period – the 35.2%-owned Dele Alli has 42 points from the same haul of goal and assists, but can’t match his team-mate for bonus awards.

The pair remain key assets for the run-in, with Harry Kane’s assist for Eriksen keeping his own output simmering ahead of Sunday’s decidedly crucial North London derby.

Indeed, Kane remains the top FPL transfer target since the previous deadline passed, with over 34,000 new owners snapping him up.

Nacho Monreal, Gabriel
The Spanish defender is thriving in Arsene Wenger’s brave new world of three at the back.

The 3-4-2-1 formation was rolled out again in the 1-0 win over Leicester City, though the Gunners’ manager’s decision to play Kieran Gibbs at left wing-back allowed Monreal to switch to left centre-back at the expense of Rob Holding.

That derails plans to exploit the young centre-half’s 4.0 price as we consider how best to take advantage of Arsenal’s two Double Gameweeks still to come.

But it should boost Monreal’s attractiveness. He’s not the cheapest at 5.8, but Wenger has used the versatile Spaniard in all but two league matches this season.

His 12-point haul last night included an assist for Robert Huth’s own goal, a clean sheet and maximum bonus points.

A cheaper option involves Gabriel (4.8), who has started all three matches of Wenger’s new-look Arsenal in light of Shkodran Mustafi’s ongoing injury absence.

Choosing Gunners defenders remains risky, however – last night’s clean sheet was only a third since Gameweek 21 and they face Spurs and Southampton away and host Manchester United over the next three fixtures.

A knee injury picked up by Laurent Koscielny last night clouds the issue further. Although the Frenchman managed to play through the pain to finish the Leicester match, Wenger conceded post-match that he’s yet to ascertain the extent of the problem.

In Decline

Alvaro Negredo
More than 150,000 managers rolled the dice and captained the striker for Middlesbrough’s Double Gameweek and the Spaniard duly produced the slimmest of pickings.

Negredo’s 14.9% ownership base was never likely to hold onto him anyway – Boro still have to face three of the top four – but four measly points from his two Gameweek 34 outings has sparked an early, and probably rage-fuelled, exodus, with nearly 26,000 managers selling him already.

We can expect that to escalate over the next two days, though – Negredo has been sold by over 10,000 managers in the last 24 hours, more than any other player.

Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean midfielder remains the game’s riskiest proposition.

Ignore him and Fantasy Premier League’s leading points scorer has six matches to show that ignorance is not always bliss.

Keep or buy him in and we’ll be betting the house – or at least a hefty 11.5 – on a player with just two goals and an underwhelming 25 points from his last six league starts.

The jury remains out on the impact Arsenal’s new formation is having on Sanchez. He was moved back to the central striker role against Leicester City, with Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil flanking him, but that didn’t improve his output.

He managed just two shots, both from outside the area, with one hitting the bar. But he has scored twice in three matches in all competitions since the switch to a defensive three took place.

Sticking or twisting on Sanchez looks like being one of the biggest decisions as we prepare for our crucial final Wildcard of the season.

Son Heung-min
The general wisdom is that we’ll need three Spurs players in our sides from here on in.

Until recently, one of them was likely to be the South Korean midfielder.

But Mauricio Pochettino has created considerable doubt in our minds now. He used Son as a wing-back in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final and benched him at Selhurst Park last night.

A half-time switch to a four-man defence gave Son a second chance and he was a key part of an improved Spurs performance after the break, but there is no place for doubt when Pochettino’s charges have just five matches left to garner us points.

With Kane, Alli and Eriksen looking undroppable, Son’s 12.2% ownership have a decision to make – over 6,000 have already jumped ship over the last 24 hours.

Mamadou Sakho
A mini-rush to tap into Palace’s defensive assets for their Double Gameweek 34 didn’t include Sakho as he was ineligible to play in the first match against parent club Liverpool.

But the Eagles are undoubtedly a far tougher proposition with the Frenchman at the heart of their defence, so the knee injury he sustained against Spurs last night weakens the attraction of holding on to relatively cheap Palace defenders throughout the run-in.

Sakho looks highly likely to have played his final match this season, according to Sam Allardyce.

“He has hyperextended the knee. It is certainly serious enough to keep him out for who knows how long, we won’t know until we diagnose it, but if it is ligament it may be the end (of his loan spell), it may not.”

Those of us with Wildcards can weather the storm, but it’s not quite so simple for the rest.

With James Tomkins also currently sidelined, those looking for a budget enabler from the Palace back line ahead of attractive home matches with Burnley and their (albeit single) Gameweek 37 clash with Hull City could well be drawn to the 4.2-priced Martin Kelly.

Wilfried Zaha
Snapped up by over 144,000 FPL managers for Palace’s pair of fixtures, Zaha proved a bitter disappointment.

While Christian Benteke backers were rewarded with 14 points over the Double Gameweek, Zaha limped in with just three points to show for his troubles, with last night’s late booking merely adding injury to insult.

Already, Zaha is the third most transferred out midfielder in the Gameweek, despite that favourable upcoming home clash with the Clarets.

Although some 17% owners may look to hold for the Burnley encounter, trips to Man City and Man United in the final three suggest that Zaha looks set to depart many more squads once the weekend has passed, particularly for those set to wield wildcards in time for Double Gameweek 36.

    Guys, Barragan is stinking up my team. Worth taking a -4 and getting rid of Stephens, bearing in mind it enables Costa in for Tekkers / Sane in for Zaha in 36? I kind of think so!

      *for Stephens

    Have jaku and Pickford, is there any good keepers to get? And if u had to ditch one of these keepers which? Pickford had a double but will never get a cs again, I hAve maguire in defence so jaku seems overkill and won't get many if any cs either

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years

      DDG

    2. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years

      Jakupovic to Cech or De Gea

    3. Numb

      Ditch Jaku. The good keepers are the expensive ones - DDG, Lloris, Cech, etc

    Surely Son was just given a bit of a rest last night, given their heavy schedule at the moment? Article above seems a bit of an overreaction

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Don't see why he would have been rested over anyone else. Just change of tactics to deal with an in-form Palace and their wingers

    Is an 8 point hit to get 3x Saints in this week worth it?

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years

      no

    2. dhamphiir

      Depend on which Saints player are you bringing

  8. FrankieTheGent
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Am I wrong to steer clear of the North London derby and focus on Saints home to Hull and 4 potential clean sheets?

    Pickford
    Bailly; Valencia; Cedric; Bertrand
    Eriksen; King; Sané
    Benteke; Kane; Gabbiadini (c)
    -----------------------------
    Valdes; Sanchez; Alli; Fuchs

    1. Wild Rover

        I know.
        It just kind've "presented" itself

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 8 Years

      I don't think Bailly will start. He needs a rest.

      1. FrankieTheGent
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Then Sanchez comes on - boom !
        Foolproof

  9. ANON.
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    GW36 WC draft number 83. BB in DW37. Thoughts?

    Cech, Pickford
    Alonso, Monreal, Vert, Yoshi, Holgate
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Sane, King, JWP
    Kane, Costa, Gabbi

    1. ANON.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez to Hazard a possibility for GW37

  10. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Cant seem to decide when to WC - this week or next week?

    Is my team good?
    DDG
    Bailly, Valencia, Cedric,
    Alli, Eriksen, Zaha, Coutinho
    Kun, Benteke, Negredo -> Gabbi

    Should I WC? I would like to get in more Man City midfielders and Chelsea.

    1. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If you don't have TC and BB chip then use WC next week

  11. Individual
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking of leaving the armband on Tekkers for Burnley... Kane (c) + Eriksen Alli Sanchez in the NLD seems like overkill to me!

    Still go Kane?

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Thinking King myself as I have a similiar dillema.

      There will be goals in that game though. Both desperate to win it.

  12. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Really tempted to Confirm the WIldcard now - as I can get this team with 0ITB

    Appericate your thoughts;

    Cech. Pickford.
    Alonso. Very. Yoshida. Holgate. Bailly.
    Hazard. Sanchez. Capoue. Sane. JWP/Albrightion.
    Kane. Gabbi. Vardy

    Not the greatest team - but I'm struggling due to lack of funds, and I need some differentials.

    Cheers for any replies

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Do it.

    Question to the long time players.

    How bif do you think what teams are still playing for should wieght into our WC processes.

    I mean, Could Chelsea play a B team on GW38 because they already champion?
    Would Man U play a B team because focusing on EL qualification?
    Could Arsenal play a B team because they can't reach the 4th place and focus on Cup final?

    Shouldn't we mainly focus on Spurs and Man City that only have PL left to play and need points to secure their UCL qualification?

    Same thing, isn't it wiser to pick Swansea / Hull players rather than southampton or sunderland players?

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I think good picks are Liverpool, Bournemouth, glyfi, hull, Man City, arsenal and saints.
      Liverpool and arsenal don't convince me but they should b fighting for top 4

  14. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Need atleast 2 goals from Rasfhrod.

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      thought you needed a hat trick

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        thought you wernt playing the game next year?

  15. Sanchez's poor form exposed
    Bedknobs and Boomsticks
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I've just been crunching some numbers on Sanchez by running the comparison tool of his performance over the last 6 weeks vs his performance over previous 6 week periods.

    The results are pretty grim. The only time he came close to having as poor stats as he does now was GW7-12, when he still outscored his current form on all the major attacking metrics and only picked up 2 goals and an assist.

    Across most of the periods I've looked at his stats for Shots, SiB, SoT, CC are close to being half of what he has previously produced.

    TLDNR; Sanchez is bang out of form

    Over the last 6, Arsenal are 11th for goals scored, 11th for total shots, 10th for SiB, 17th for big chances. Sanchez's goal involvement is 22 % over that time.

    TLDNR; Arsenal aren't scoring a lot, and Sanchez isn't the main man

    Arsenals opponents for GW36 and GW37 are MNU, sot, sto, SUN.
    MNU & SUN have conceded 41 away goals this season, or an average of 20.5 each. The average number of away goals conceded per side this season is 27.1
    sot and sto have conceded 38 home goals this season, an average of 19 each. The average number of away goals conceded per side this season is 19.65,
    Overall, that gives an average of 1.2 goals conceded per game by those teams for their respective home and away games

    TLDR; The fixtures in the doubles aren't that great

    So overall, Sanchez is an out of form player playing for an out of form side playing against teams that aren't going to concede a million goals.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      But he can haul anytime.

      Its the fear

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      everything points to taking him, if he didn't have 2 doubles I would have taken him out already

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      That is some very insightful analysis and I agree with the final conclusion. The question is then, what do you do?

      Was at the game last night and Arsenal were dreadful. No sting in attack, so slow to counter. They are bang our of form for sure.

      Do you think that playing him up front will change this going forward maybe?

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I could sell him for Hazard and have a shed load more money to play with prior to the doubles. 16 million or so is a lot to spend on a mid and a striker instead of say Sanchez and Anichebe.

        1. Kloppen Schloppen
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          It's compelling stuff. Without the doubles factored, he's gone for Haz - but as people have mentioned below, fear, double double, explosiveness will all probably make you keep him...

        2. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          ...such as King and Costa

          1. MFC86
            • 8 Years

            I much prefer this pairing

    4. Chip Butty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Reckon should get Hazard instead?

    5. MTPockets
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Problem is he's owned by 41% of top 10k, with a double double coming.

      • jiGGidyJ1
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting, but I'll still be rolling with Sanchez through the doubles, because I know what he's capable of, and Arsenal are chasing 4th

        I can feel a sense of de ja vu. On my last wildcard I based it around Sanchez and during gwk 7-12 my rank fell off the radar.

        Another wildcard, another out of form Sanchez.....I can see history repeating itself.

      • The Rumour Mill
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Great analysis, but the fixture analysis is based on their performance when motivated. Sunderland, Stoke, Southampton have absolutely nothing to play for and Man Utd have their eye on another prize. Couple this with the fact that Arsenal absolutely are motivated to get in the Top 4 (this much was clear given their celebrations at the end of last night's match), and I feel this raises Sanchez's chances of obtaining points further.

      • Pinky Blinders
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I'm not sure it is relevant to compared him going forward to this second time period you highlight since Wenger has again changed the formation.

        1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          If the mods will forgive the stats.....
          Last 2 weeks in 3-4-3:
          4 shots, 1 in box, 3 on target, 1 chance created, 0 big chances

          1. Pinky Blinders
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Yes but hasn't he scored 2 goals during that period as well (MID and MC)?

        6 years, 11 months ago

        I decided to wildcard yesterday (a week earlier then originally planned) in preparation for GW 37 (bb chip intact) because my team is a mess and i currently don't have Sanchez in my draft.

        This allows me to have Hazard & Costa whose next 4 fixtures are eve, MID, wba, WAT.

        Considering the form Spurs are in i think Chelsea will have to push for the title in all of these 4 matches.
        I think Hazard vs an out-of-sorts Boro is a better captain pick for GW 36 than Sanchez is on his current form and the team form of Arsenal vs. MUN & sot.

        The only issue is GW 37 but with 13 dgwers and multiple good captain choices i'm willing to give it a shot.

        1. MFC86
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          My thoughts exactly

      • Bezzer
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        And if he goes mad with people giving him the triple captain chip it's red arrows all round!

        Form is temporary class is permanent!

        1. Mozart_s Balls
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          This is a worry off course. I'm not focusing on my rank, only on my mini-league. My both main rivals used their bb chip this GW so will probably wc in 36 and use their tc in GW 37 - i hope my BB evens this out.

      • Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        So are you avoiding all Arsenal attacking assets for 2 x DGW or are you going with Ozil?

        1. Mozart_s Balls
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Just Monreal from Arsenal. Focusing on Chelsea/Spurs/City/Soton in attack.

      • Zikry
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Would have to buy a bigger couch if I ended up selling him ahead of two doubles.

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Keeping for first double, ditching for second if needs be.

      • abreu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        But if you dropped Sanchez in gw12, on the evidence of bad stats and points in his last 6 gameweeks (gw7-12), you would miss out on his 5 goals in gw13-14.

        That could easily happen again, if you drop him in gw35 on similar arguments.

        The future is never a mirror of the past, no matter how hard you analyze it

      Do you think Rashford will start against Swansea?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        risky considering it's only a few days before the semi and they have big games after

      Need advise of what route to go down, played WC pre GW34 then Ibra ruined it all....

      DDG Pickford
      Vertonghen Bailly Stones Barragan Stephens
      Hazard Eriksen Walcott Zaha deRoon
      Lukaku Kane Gabbiadini

      0FT 4.2m itb

      Just done Negredo > Gabbiadini

      Do I do route A or Route B over 2 GWS for -8

      A
      Walcott > Sanchez

      B
      Walcott > Sane (-4 GW35)
      Zaha > Ozil (GW 36)
      Barragan > Gabriel (GW 36 -4)

      Gives me 13 DGWs for GW 37

      Slighting benching headache this week, Who gets benched out of these?:

      Sanchez King Eriksen Zaha Sterling
      Gabbi Lukaku Kane

      I'm on Sterling at the moment purely due to the fact he might not get the minutes but not sure...

      1. Golden Soccer Ducks
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, I would say bench Sterling. Maybe see what happens tonight, but I would still probably bench Sterling unless he does really well tonight.

      2. alexmj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sanchez

    10. Pringle
      • 10 Years

      Who would you captain? King or Gabbi?

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        King, I'm actually captaining Daniels why not

      2. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Gabbi

    11. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Best 1 week punt?

      A. Coutinho (wat)
      B. Sane (mid)

      Surely A?

      Wilcarding next week

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years

        B

    12. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      GW35 WC very tempting - thought on this attack based setup?

      Pickford-Jaku

      Alonso-Yoshida-Stephens-Holgate-Kelly

      Sanchez-Hazard-Ali-Sane-King

      Kane-Costa-Gabbi

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I like it besides Alonso, 6.8M too much

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks - I got him at 6.0 so lot of value in him...

      2. S.Agueroooooo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I think Sane could be downgraded and money spent on def (he isnt as heavy a scorer as a lot think)

      3. Skid Vicious
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Shame you played your AOA. Would of been great to have it.
        Very attacking team
        I like it.

      Firmino captain fair shout?

    14. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years

      Sigurdsson ➡ King for a hit.

      Yes or No ?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Not for me. Siggy does well vs UTD

      2. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        nope

      3. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        yes, King could eat up Sunderland and United are not conceding goals

    15. Team Zissou

      Sterling or Sane for the double?

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Sane

      2. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Sane way more nailed on

      3. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Sane safer. Depends if Silva is injured as Sterling will likely replace him. If both nailed then Sterling

      Cech or Pickford for GW 35 ? 🙂

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Pickford for the save pts

    17. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      RMWCT? Sanchez a GW37 possibility depending on form.

      Cech Pickford
      Vertonghen Stephens Holgate Yoshida Mustafi (if fit)
      Eriksen Hazard Sane King Ozil
      Gabbiadini Costa Kane

    18. Dr Dream

      I don't understand the nervousness, or idea, that Chelsea players will be rested at the end of the season because they've won the league.

      Last two matches at home against Watford and Sunderland will be party time.

      Good luck to Conte if he puts Costa on the bench...I for one wouldn't like to be the one telling Costa that (or Hazard)...

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        If they've won the league early...I expect one more bump along the way

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Boro will beat them (as we're inevitably staying up) so, that's your bump sorted

      2. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        This ^^. Also, Spurs might push them till the end

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Think spurs will collapse now alli knows it's over he looks grumpy

          1. RustyBz
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Don't see any indications of it yet, but it is Spurs so yep could easily bottle it next week.

            • 7 Years

            I couldn't disagree with your comment more.

            1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
              • 8 Years

              Spurs always crumble, no news there

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          The only fly in the ointment, if they've won the league, will be John Terry for one of the CB's.

          I can nearly guarantee you he will play the last game of the title is sewn up....and I doubt Conte will have any say in it....or very little.

      3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        They are also well rested without Europe - and their cup teams were a lot of fringe players...

      4. Rover
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I don't think the fear is around Hazard or Costa, it's more about their defense, many have Alonso and some have doubled up on their defense. Like you said, those last two matches it'll be party time. Cue Alonso surging forward more, Cahill going deeper into the box for corners, Luiz trying something spectacular, and in general lessened desire to track back and hold that man off. I can't see a steely, doggy performance from them once the title is wrapped up. They'll be out there to party, and they'll run riot up front probably, but if they concede as well, they probably wouldn't bother too much about it.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          John Terry will play the last game if the title is won. I think you can be sure of that.

    19. diesel001

      Alternative WC team. A dream team rarely consists of all the big hitters so go for some out there picks to see if you can haul:

      Pickford - Gomes
      Yoshida - Holgate - Monreal - Vertonghen - Maguire
      King - Willian - Ozil - Son - Mkhi
      Kane - Lukaku - Jesus

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I like the approach but Willian & Jesus won't be starting

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          why jesus won't be starting?

          1. RustyBz
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Because he spent 3 months out and Aguero can't stop scoring. Pep cannot afford to miss out on top 4, it would be a catastrophe

      2. MTPockets
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Missing Capoue then.

        • Fred54
          • 9 Years

          Nice, was looking at Gomes and Mikh too.

      3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        If Jesus gets put on the wing I could have aguero and Jesus in my team. Cue evil laugh muahaha

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Jesus and God not a bad combo...

        2. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Pep said if both play itll be a narrow system which is even better for the double up

        3. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A bit false economy for me - Can't really see it...(Aguero owner)

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I have doubled up on aguero and kelechi before and it worked out lol. So I'm up for it, even if one doesn't get many minutes as long as they score it's all good and no one else would have both.
