Scout Notes – Gameweek 12 – Sunday

Richarlison ends his Vicarage Road goal drought as Will Hughes catches the eye against West Ham. Elsewhere, the heroics of Heurelho Gomes helps the Hornets to a rare clean sheet as David Moyes’ tenure at West Ham begins with defeat.

Richarlison ends home drought

Such a reliable source of goals and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points on his travels, Richarlison finally found the net at home after failing to produce a single effort on target in his previous five at Vicarage Road.

Owned by 18%, the young Brazilian’s home output was of particular concern bearing in mind that his next two visitors are Manchester United and Spurs in Gameweek 14-15.

Yet Sunday’s strike maintained a remarkable run of consistency – he’s now delivered attacking points in six of the last seven Gameweeks ahead of next weekend’s trip to Newcastle United.

Heightening his appeal for that Magpies clash is that, away from home, Richarlison has averaged 7.2 points per match and is the league’s top player for shots inside the opposition box (20).

On the downside, he also has a testing trip to Burnley directly after those United and Spurs matches. But the case for holding is very convincing, with the fixtures turning in his favour from Gameweek 17 once again.

At a price of 6.5, Richarlison is now the top FPL midfielder for value in terms of points per million and sits fifth in the midfield standings on 66 points.

Despite that, his inability to claim bonus points continues to dent the South American’s captaincy potential. He has scored or assisted in eight of the first 12 Gameweeks but has earned bonus points on just two occasions.

Today’s BPS haul was limited by two shots off target and two fouls conceded, while he was also tackled twice.

Hughes impresses in tactical tweak

Handed a central support role alongside Richarlison as Marco Silva moved to 3-4-2-1 against the Hammers, Will Hughes overshadowed his more popular team-mate thanks to a goal, assist and maximum bonus.

But Watford’s form on the road suggests that Silva could revert to his usual 4-2-3-1 at St James’ Park – only Man City (16) and Chelsea (14) have scored more away goals than the Hornets’ 12.

Regardless of formation, Hughes (4.6) now looks likely to be on the teamsheet for the trip to Tyneside after months on the periphery.

Handed just 10 minutes in the opening 10 Gameweeks, Hughes has now started both of Watford’s last two. However, Roberto Pereyra made a return to the bench and replaced the former Derby County man late on; he will doubtless threaten Hughes’ start in weeks to come.

Andre Gray was again a starter up front as Troy Deeney served the second match in a three-match suspension. Gray’s scuffed assist for Hughes’ opener was his second in as many matches.

Gomes keeps it clean

Silva can thank Heurelho Gomes for their first clean sheet in eight attempts after he denied Cheick Kouyate and Marko Arnautovic with superb stops.

Indeed, David Moyes can at least take encouragement from the fact that his side had three big chances today – they had managed just six in their previous six road trips under Slaven Bilic.

For the hosts, the decision to bench Jose Holebas came as a surprise as Marvin Zeegelaar (4.4) earned his first outing of the season at left wing-back. Holebas had played every minute of the previous 10 matches he had been available for, only missing the Gameweek 3 encounter against Brighton due to suspension.

Ranked top for crosses (82) and successful crosses (17) among defenders, Holebas is second only to Ben Davies for key passes (15 to 22) at the back.

Watford’s primary corner taker over the first 11 (he had taken 33 of their first 50), Holebas’ absence saw Hughes also claim dead-ball duties, taking all three of Watford’s corners.

Zeegelaar impressed on his first start, picking up two bonus points on his debut having won three tackles. Kiko Femenía – our preferred option among Silva’s defence – picked up a single bonus point but hobbled off late on with a knock.

Elsewhere, Adrian Mariappa – a 4.0 option in FPL – also earned a notable recall in Silva’s three-man defence having been dropped for the previous two outings.

However, like Hughes, Mariappa will surely have strong competition for his starting role with Sebastian Prödl returning from injury to figure on the bench on Sunday. Younes Kaboul is also on the road to recovery, with Silva likely to go into the busy Christmas period with the option to rotate his centre-backs.

    How does Sane looks against Leicester?
    Thinking to replace Eriksen with him.
    Thanks.

  2. Sotamendi84

    Mustafi or daniels for stones replacement?

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mustafi has 5/6 cs this season wow

    2. milk_7
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think Daniels, better attacking potential

    3. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of going with Mustafi, 5/6 CS is super impressive, only worry is that he's injury prone..

    4. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Daniels imo - think he'll score well over the next few games.

    Thoughts on how to improve this lot?

    Pope elliott

      Get Salah

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, think that's the move. The loss in tv this week from them is painful though.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen to salah next week though as well asnaugton to mee

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years

        Triple burnley defence?

    3. Sotamendi84

      1. germanyozil10
        • 6 Years

        Get Salah and it is pretty gd.

  4. milk_7
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Fabianski? Swansea seems quite leaky...
    Is Courtois at 5.4 a good replacement? Thanks

    1. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Fabs ain't that fab anymore, Courtois is good, or Pope if you're on a budget...

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Courtois will get you someny nice 6pointers go for it

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pope

  5. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Have Kane Lukaku Jesus Salah...
    Who would you captain and why?

    I forgot when was the last time I chose the player with the most points in the week as my Captain...

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lukaku. I don't have him though

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Because
        Jesus- I won't Captain a City player
        Salah- Has Chelsea
        Kane- You might but the current form ughhh
        Lukaku has been consistent and is standout captain choice

    2. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Although he'll probably troll us again, I'll go with Kane against a weak West Brom defense...

    3. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Think I got 13 from kane one week, not sure if that was highest of the gw, almost certainly not.

      More than 2 points seems a rarity this season. 🙁

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Im talking highest in my team...It is enough

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kane or Lukaku.
      Wait till midweek games.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. Basically it will be between them. Really want to chose the correct kne this time

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I'm between those two. Won't captain Salah or Hazard. I'll see how Kane looks midweek and decide.

        2. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I'm having a terrible spell of captain picks. Had Kane again....grrr but Lukaku has let me down in past as well.

    5. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lukaku H to Brighton.

      Two blanks in thirteen now and United should have too much for them.

  6. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Planned transfer was Eriksen > Sané for next GW. Obviously midweek might change that but early thoughts?

    WBA looks really weak. Can I get away with no City for another week?

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      In the same boat. Want to do it before Sane prices rise. I think good for term too.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Champions League midweek.

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    OR 14k with gross and Duffy to play. Hoping for a big Brighton performance

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      1-0 Duffy header would be perfect 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        And gross assist obviously

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Dunk and Choupo-Moting here, not sure what I want. Ideally they both score of course but I'll take a 0-0.

  8. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hi, any chance Kane prices will drop this week?
    Thanks.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Very possible he will price drop, on -44% atm

  9. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Any info why D Luiz still not playing?
    Have he lost his spot to Christensen?
    Thanks.

    1. GuyIncognito
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Christensen is really good.

  10. white lightning
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this -12 hit to get Pogba. I'll be losing 3 injured/dropped players but also Kane which could be risky:

    Stones (injured) out - Daniels in
    Abraham (injured) out - Niasse (assuming not banned, seems unlikely) in
    Kane (very risky) out - Jesus (could be even riskier) in
    Carroll (dropped) out - Pogba (c) in

    I will not be making those moves until last minute. I could be taking a big gamble but hey it makes it exciting. I can see this paying off with Stones, Abraham & Carroll not playing so it's not really like a true -12 hit especially if Pogba (c) goes off. The risky part is if Kane explodes & Jesus doesn't start/rotation risk.

    Thoughts & thanks.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't hate it but not loving it. Wouldn't bring in Jesus. Do you have Morata already?

      1. white lightning
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep Morata, Kane, Abraham my current forward line.
        Yeah it's the Kane out - Jesus in that has me concerned as that could really back fire.

    2. Spurred_On
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I did the first two for a -4

  11. germanyozil10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Happy to got 94pts this week so far.
    However,there are still improvement needed to my team. Any ideas?

    Elliot
    Otamendi Mee Daniels
    Salah Hazard Choupo RLC
    Jesus Kane Vardy

    Sub:Pope Moreno TC Mbemba

    1.9ITB, 1FT

    Plan to in Lukaku and out Jesus due to MC rotation risk.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good looking team. Great week!

      No City attack is very risky. We pretty much got away with it this week (did that exact transfer this week) but that team is most likely to score 3+ any game in PL. That being said only way to get a City mid would be downgrading Vardy and upgrading C-M.

      1. germanyozil10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!
        May be Sane is a good choice.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          yup he's the one I want.

          1. germanyozil10
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Is it worth to -8 to get Sane & Niasse in this week?

            1. _figu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              I'd wait a week. Vardy could easily haul vs West Ham.

  12. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Kane pull a hammy on Tuesday and give me an excuse to get rid of you

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Why do you need an excuse? Sell him if you've someone better to replace him.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        But I'm scared.

    2. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He wouldnt play at all...

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, I don't think he'll play Tuesday but I'd be very happy to bring in Morata for Kane if this happened

    4. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Probably won't play, he was strapped up on Sat and they are through.

  13. Man Chest Hair United
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Better combo
    A hazard Pogba
    B sane Coutinho plus .5

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry .8 spare in B

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There's just too much class in those combos to pick confidently.

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't double Pool and Salah is as close essential a player can be so A for me

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah running without lukqku and I do have salah

  14. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Have Mbemba & foster who i both want to get rid of for a playing defender and a better keeper.

    would you swap them for speroni & then double up with a second burnley defender for -4?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good moves

  15. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Decided to relook into history of Kane in my teams so far. I had him since gw 1.

    GW1 - 1 point
    GW2 - 1 point
    GW3 - 4 points (C)
    GW4 - 26 points (C)
    GW5 - 4 points (C)
    GW6 - 26 points (C)
    GW7 - 26 points (C)
    GW8 - 4 points (C)
    GW9 - 16 points
    GW10 - Injured.
    GW11 - 4 points (C)
    GW12 - 2 points (C)

    Of all the times I captained him out of 8 times, he blanked 5 times and returned 3 times.

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      That's better than me - I've captained him 5 times and he's returned once. He's out soon if he doesn't start performing, I don't see why he has to be so untouchable.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I've captained him 6 times. 1 haul and 5 blanks. Not sure I still want to go without. Don't want Aguero or Jesus. I guess double Chelsea is an option after Pool.

        But having Kane and not captaining him feels like a waste.

        1. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I agree - having Kane and not captaining feels a little Kaneophobia.

          I feel that I should change my mindset after the latest blank.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kane(c) - 4 times for 4 points each.

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty similar story here, probably worse, i didnt captain him on GW6 and GW7. So the only time i got it right was GW4! 🙁

  16. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    People looking to get Zaha, consider the impact the returning Benteke has on his output/positioning.

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Increased assists

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, that Benteke miss near the end was so so funny.

  17. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why people are keep moaning about Kane? Just sell the sod and be done with it. There isn’t a rule that you must captain your most expensive player.

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed. My captain was Sane even with the options of Kane Morata and Hazard. It is just that Kane is capable of big hauls and keeping him.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        It’s true but last time Spurs won at Emirates was fookin ages ago. I don’t get why people expected a Kane haul, but obviously he is explosive in any game. All I’m saying is, people should not complain that he had blank in derby game. And the fact that selling him before West Brom could backfire massively

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Oi. I remember something about a 2-5 prediction and a Kane hatty offending me during the week. 🙂

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Were you really offended though 🙂

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Didn't captain him this GW. If we're starting to doubt captaining him against weaker sides then it's time to sell him imo. If he looks better on Tuesday I'll captain him next against WBA.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Main reason why I’ll captain him is; West Brom. They are pathetic and he will probably score a brace minimum.

            1. _figu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Agreed. West Brom being dreadful is the reason why I'm hesitant with my planned Eriksen > Sane move.

              1. La Roja
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                No way. Eriksen is sort of differential now, people are keep selling him. Differential Captain material.

                1. _figu
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  Yup current thought is to keep. Eriksen could easily do better than Sane who is always risk of getting rotated. But how long I can really go without any City? And Sane is the one I want.

                  1. La Roja
                    • 12 Years
                    6 years, 4 months ago

                    Depends on your rest of the team

        3. Freddo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Good post, Arsenal have won 10 in a row now at the Emirates and don't concede a lot, it shouldn't have been a shock.

  18. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Played Krul ahead of Elliot to see monday points but now hoping for a Krul show!

    And unexpected 6 pointer from Mariappa from bench gives me a satisfied gw. (84 points)

    Krul
    Daniels Mee Mariappa
    Hazard(vc) Salah Sane(c) Sterling Doucoure
    Kane Morata
    Elliot Jones Lascelles Quaner. 2 itb 1 FT

    Any suggestions for next week?

      Sweet leave it and see what you want to do with 2FT
      And I captained Sane this week and will do again for the coming week.

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Same here.. Captain Sane again.

        Guess Burnley will concede this week and playing Mariappa over Mee. Will wait for Jones news though.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I got Pope and Mee
          Alonso ok
          But Jones and Kika on the injured list and already taken a hit 🙁

          Pope and Mee seems very risky by really don't want another hit - hoping Jones and Kika are ok.

          1. EMERGING STAR
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Yes you can wait for the news. If Jones is out for next week nee to decide on him as ARS and City playing against MU.

  19. FPL Doctor

    Courtois (liv) or Elliot (WAT)??

    Feel like there is going to be goals in the Che - Liv game...

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I believe both will concede.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go Elliot but wouldn't have high hopes.

  20. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Have Morata and Alonso already and will triple up of Che medium term. No utd players in A or B
    C is the current Jones and Alli

    A. Azpi and Pogba
    B. Dunk and Hazard
    C. Jones and Alli
    D. Other options - thanks

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Budget is 15 for the two spots.

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Didn't like the Alli pick yet.
        Dunk and Hazard is my choice considering Haz form and presence of Alonso in your team. It will be painful to watch Chelsea concede goals when you have so much money on their defence.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Or nice when they both get 15 some week
          Seriously I think you are right. I already have a defence double up with Pope and Mee.

          1. EMERGING STAR
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Ha ha.. Its all about luck sometimes. Personally i believe Alonso is enough. Just check his advance positioning.

            Plus having Hazard will easily cover Azpi who is playing back 3 recently.

            1. Albrightondknight
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Ok the only problem I have now is that I have about .2 to spare for the Azpi and Pogba move but nothing for Hazard and Dunk.
              So would need to get Haz before he rises.
              Thanks are for noting Azpi positional change.

              1. EMERGING STAR
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Good luck for the transfers. Think and take a wise decision.

      2-3 Chelsea.

      Assists from Haz, Alonso, Coutinho, Firmino

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a 0-0, Liverpool actually are good defensively at home, Chelsea play very defensively against the other big teams this year... also both will be tired after champs league & neither will want to lose. It'll get off to a cagey start, 0-0 at HT then nip & tuck through the second half.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        As a Moreno and Alonso owner, I’d absolutely love that.

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        That stat has come up a lot but look at the teams we've played, with the exception of United, who didn't even try to attack us. While home advantage statistically leads to an improvement in defensive performance, it doesn't suddenly make an average defence the best in the league. I think circumstantial factors have contributed massively to us apparently being the best team in the league defensively when at Anfield

  22. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hi, who is best options for C this weekend for my team?
    Haz, Salah, Sane, Richarlison, Morata or Kun?
    CHE vs LIV make me dizzy.
    Thanks.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sane is your best bet imo. He is unstoppable.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      out of those I'd go Sane as well

  24. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone brave enough to captain Sane over Kane next gw?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Fairplay to you, I'm weighing it up but worried about missing a Kane haul

        1. EMERGING STAR
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I stopped fearing about Kane hauls as there are lot of options to match his returns.

          Sane was my captain in this GW and probably next week as well.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Are Kane & Kaku on borrowed time? In a way it's good that they both have another "easy" fixture next - if they both don't haul, there will be a lot of xfers out moving to 5 man midfields & Haz

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Borrowed time?

      They both should easily score 20+ goals this season, irrespective of the tough upcoming fixtures.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah fair enough, I just don't know if can carry both now with cheap third strikers firing. The overall 15 are so much better without one of those two.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I agree with that. Although losing them risk due to high ownership, it would make you have a decent & balanced team for sure.

          I’d sacrifice Lukaku who is not as explosive as Harold, if you must.

      2. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        so will morata

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, he has been magnifinicent

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kane is untouchable imo, however in terms of value Morata is a better bet than Lukaku, he may even outscore him come the end of the season. Morata is scoring reguarly as well as getting assists. He's played less than Lukaku and has gotten more points so far, so no reason why it can't happen.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nobody is untouchable but seriously doubt I'll move Kane any time soon. All it take is one haul and I'd want him back.

        I'm seriously considering Chelsea double up after Pool and Lukaku. In that case I'd transfer Pogba in though.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          * without Lukaku (Morata in)

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I'm ignoring Lukaku in favour of Pogba, incredible value at 8m when you think about it

            1. _figu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Pogba has been amazing this season! I'm creating a way to get him in and possibly dropping Kaku. I was seriously considering going without Lukaku but after Pogback I didn't want to risk it so ended up doing Jesus -> Kaku (c) as I preferred him as an captain option over Kane.

              1. We Will Klopp you
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Fear can be our worst enemy in this game. I've made getting Pogba a priority, he's a 9-10m mid priced at 8m.

        2. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          That is exactly why he's untouchable. You move him on and you're always wondering when the next hat trick will come, he's explosive, has great fixtures and a high ownership. You'll have to have nerves of steel to first sell him and then ignore him when he hauls.

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Exactly. He's out of form and clearly not 100% yet. Still I'll captain him against WBA over Kaku vs Brighton.

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              I might go Sane, almost a certainty to get returns vs Huddersfield

              1. _figu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Not a bad option. I'll go Kane. I think. I'd want Sane as my City player but will very likely hold as I think Eriksen vs WBA is equally good option next gw.

                1. We Will Klopp you
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  So many good options in midfield at present. I'd agree with that, Eriksen could very easily do well. I'll probably chicken out and go Kane in the end, the Baggies look woeful, them, Hudds, West Ham and Watford are the fixtures I'd readily captain any premium mid/forward I have in

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I have those two and Hazard. Played 3-5-2 this GW. Been mostly doing 4-4-2 after gw8 wc.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Same here. Played 352 both weeks that RLC assisted

        442 the other weeks. I've been climbing the ranks but fielding an average of 10.5 players the last weeks has been tough

        Upto 118k with Duffy to play so hoping to break into top 100k

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Last *6 weeks

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Haha here I am considering Eriksen > Sane which would make our starting XI exactly the same!

          Turning point for my season was successful Fellaini punt gw7 pre WC - yes I DID IT! 🙂

          1. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I got I'm Monreal for his 15ptr that week. Think Jones will have to make way if hes out for this game to get some funds for Clark and Ladapo going forward.. Morata in next week then for Kaku most likely

            1. _figu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Thinking of saving tbh. Eriksen looks good vs WBA. Alonso after Pool is tempting. But so is Morata and I won't triple. Might part with Richarlison after Newcastle. You're planning on keeping him?

              1. Pep says
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Ya holding Richarlison. If he can get a return in one of the tough fixtures it's enough and his fixtures after that are good so I don't wanna buy him back for 6.6 or 6.7m

                I'll hold if Jones is fit but otherwise I can't be bothered having him. Stupid of me to bring him in early over the ib.. 1dt time I've been bitten so lesson learned hopefully

    4. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping both until one becomes in such form that the other is not needed for captaincy, right now, Kane is not as reliable as he should be but confident it'll come.

  26. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What combo do you prefer going forward (have Sterling and Morata)

    A) Sane Alonso Otamendi
    C) Hazard Alonso 5.0

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Toin coss if we assume the 5m def is Daniels, both look very appealing. I'd slightly favour A

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Coin toss* haha, you can tell how tired I am just by that

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          haha, brilliant!
          A looks great but I really really want Hazard/Morata double up
          Maybe I'll have to sacrifice Alonso instead

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Pretty close, so you can by all means go C. The double up could be a goldmine over the coming gws

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A if you have Morata, B if not

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I have Morata

    5. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Id prefer Sané Hazard Morata Alonso

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        would need to lose Salah then

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          not an option for me

      2. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I'd like that but can't have 'em all.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          For me when you have the likes of Sterling, Sane, Pogba, Coutinho, Mane and Salah running around, Hazard is a luxury rather than a necessity, a very appealing luxury but a luxury nonetheless. Morata however is unrivalled when it comes to value amongst the forwards. That's why I'll be going Morata and giving Hazard a miss personally.

  27. Urchin
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A simple one really, what do with Jones:
    A. Sell, his dream run is over
    B. Hold, he will be fit and back against Brighton

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wait for news but even if he is fit, if you have him as part of a 4 man defence you may need either a fifth defender to allow for his niggles or an exit plan

  28. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which is the better option?
    A. Kola Mee Richar
    B. Azpi Mee Tarroll
    C. Kola Cahill Tarroll

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A

  29. Veezeeboy
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    sterling and daniels
    OR
    gross and alonso
    i dont have any city attackers

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one that. I'd go Sterling and Daniels

      1. Veezeeboy
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        i have daniels currently
        might downgrade vardy to niasse and upgrade carroll to sterling next week
        dont want to take a hit 🙂

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Carroll to Sterling is a hit that could very easily pay off

          1. Veezeeboy
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            yeah but i would give vardy a last week
            he plays west ham who are clueless till now

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Probably A just because I don't like Gross

      1. Veezeeboy
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        i have 6.3 itb
        can you suggest someone else if i would want to make that alonso trade?
        got richalson

  30. Freddo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Morning all, who do you fancy to score more points in the next 6 weeks?

    Sterling or Pogba?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Another tough question. Couldn't confidently call it either way but I think both will do very well. At a push Pogba as he's nailed but that hasn't hindered Sterling so far

      1. Freddo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, think if Sterling was 100% nailed without doubts then I'd lean towards him but that doubt about mins is always there.
