Scout Notes

Scout Notes – Gameweek 8 – Sunday

Liverpool require two own goals to get the better of QPR, as Raheem Sterling and Steven Gerrard bag an assist apiece. Eduardo Vargas scores twice for the R’s, Wilfried Bony and Charlie Adam both notch for the second consecutive Gameweek, whilst Victor Moses produces an assist for the fourth league match in succession for Stoke.

Balotelli Fails to Convince
Brendan Rodgers recalled Mario Balotelli to the starting XI in the lone striker role for the QPR clash, but witnessed another wasteful display as his side needed two own goals to beat the basement-dwellers. With frustration amongst the Reds’ faithful now palpable, the situation up front is a far cry from Liverpool’s fluid and threatening forward line of 12 months ago. To compound matters, Rodgers confirmed post-match that Daniel Sturridge is set be sidelined for the next two to four weeks with a calf injury, putting the onus on Balotelli to produce if the Reds are to take full advantage of a kind schedule which see them face Hull, Newcastle, Palace, Stoke and Leicester in the next six.

Sterling’s Still Ticking Over
Despite a multitude of concerns surrounding Raheem Sterling’s fitness after his recent international duties, Liverpool’s starlet played the full 90 minutes at Loftus Road and earned an assist and two bonus points. Whilst the Reds’ forwards may be toiling, the winger has now scored or assisted in five of his last seven starts and sits just two points off the top of the FPL midfield standings. Though Philippe Coutinho and Steven Gerrard threw their hats into the ring with attacking returns yesterday, Sterling still looks the likeliest source of points across those aforementioned fixtures.

Super Sub Vargas Bags A Brace
The Chilean climbed off the bench to score twice for Harry Redknapp’s side in a 12-minute cameo that should see him press for a starting role for QPR’s home encounter with Aston Villa in Gameweek 9. Vargas has now produced two goals, an assist and three bonus points across his last couple of appearances, though at 6.4 still looks too big a punt in a side who have lost four of their last five league outings. The Hoops have five strong fixtures in their next seven (AVL, new, LEI, swa, BUR) that could help turnaround their fortunes, though despite making changes at the back and between the posts, Harry Redknapp’s defence continues to look there for the taking– yesterday’s loss means they have now conceded two or more goals in six of their last seven league matches.

Bony’s Form Looking Up
Yesterday’s penalty strike means the Ivorian now has back-to-back goals to his name, and is finally starting to find his form ahead of an enticing home clash with Leicester next weekend. Available for 8.3 in the Fantasy Premier League game, Bony struggled in the early stages of this season, but his starting spot now looks secure, and with Swansea not having won since Gameweek 3, his rediscovered eye for goal could prove key if they are to turn their fortunes around. However, the Swans’ following three fixtures after the Foxes meeting (eve, ARS, mci) may well deter investors until Gameweek 13.

Sigurdsson On The Slide
His performance against the Potters saw the playmaker leave the field early after serving up a fourth blank in the last five Gameweeks, as his early-season consistency certainly shows signs of waning. Sigurdsson’s recent international displays, allied with his 10-point haul in Gameweek 7, had many hoping he would be able to produce against Mark Hughes’ men, but a total of just nine successful passes in the final third and no shots registered was indicative of his minimal impact. With his form floundering and so many other midfield options flourishing right now, some may consider looking elsewhere once the Leicester game is out of the way.

Stoke Midfield Hit Their Stride
Victor Moses was again in the points yesterday after controversially winning his side’s first-half penalty. That’s now four assists in the Nigerian’s last four appearances, though, despite a favourable 5.5 price tag, he continues to bubble under with an ownership of just 0.4%. It was Charlie Adam who stepped up to take the spot kick and, though he had dropped deeper to cover for the absence of Glen Whelan, the Scot’s penalty-taking duties have ensured he has now netted in each of his last two outings. With Oussama Assaidi and Jon Walters also in the points for the Potters yesterday, their midfield is starting to show some appeal, though managers should be wary that they face a dire upcoming schedule (sou, WHM, tot, BUR , liv, mun, ARS) with those two home encounters looking the only attractive fixtures right now.

    Bale definitely misses the Liverpool game..

      all we need now is Ronaldo. Oh and Benzema... and Modric... and Kroos... Damn

            Nah we will be ok, Anfield will be rocking. I think we are the best counter attacking team in Europe so we may get a result.

                  Last year, yes, this year; not so much.

                  I have hope that we'll improve once Sturrdige is back though. We need more aggressive runs behind the defence.

      Bale > Tadic ?

      1. Green Arrow
        • 12 Years

        Bale > J Rod

    Costa obviously getting a tactical rest for the straightforward Palace / Maribor games so that he is fresh and fully fit for the big one against United.

    I can read Jose like a book!

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      The Palace game was hardly straightforward!

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        They won without him didn't they......jose knows what he's doing. Plus trying to pull the old soldier on spain.

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      So.. transfer out?

    3. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yes

    4. Chris_White
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Palace not exactly straightforward, but I guess he wanted to play it safe. As you say, I would be VERY surprised if he doesn't feature at the weekend.

    5. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      big one against United...

      United, the team which conceded 5 vs Leicester

      1. elkunaguero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        apart from this, I agre with the logic and think Costa will play vs United

      2. MJ6987
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        United will still be a tough game for them

    6. HVT
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      You take Herrera out as well MJ?

      1. MJ6987
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah, I think so, as per email....

        1. HVT
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          🙁

        2. HVT
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Did we get assist for Moses?
          2.7 or so score?

          1. MJ6987
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Doesn't look like they gave Moses an assist on that format!

            1. HVT
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 14 days ago

              Will that be updated or no assist for penos?

              1. MJ6987
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 14 days ago

                Who knows? I would guess the latter, they don't seem to be the most proactive on assists

    7. potatoace

      you didn't read this so well 🙂

        Ha ha. That was based on Mourinho's earlier comments which I later found out were 'sarcasm' - that didn't come across in print!

          haha,
          I just vividly recall that comment at the time
          freaked me out , so it did.

          wish he had meant it now.

      The palace game was the one in which we lost the title last season.

      1. rickardinho
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        No it wasn't. The Chelsea game was where we lost it, as after that even a win against palace wouldn't have mattered

      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think you have it spot on before this gameweek I suggested that Costa might be rested for the easy palace game considering he played two international games in a row I got laughed out of it on here.

      Makes sense this way so he can give costa a full week off for the man u game

  3. rohan
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Diego Costa (C) vs United

    Could be a great differential 😀

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Na.

      1. rohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Convincing argument 😉

    2. Fray Bentos
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      hardly a differential, but yeah, great captain choice, I expect united to get turned over 5-0

      1. rohan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        😯

        Gonna be a tight game, I reckon

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Costa (c) Aguero (vc)

      1. elkunaguero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        did you link the correct team, or did you really have Gerrard as your captain?

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Depends how Mourinho plays it will he go defensive and hope for a 1-0 or go all out and maybe win/lose 3-2

    Looks like I'm going to have to crawl back to Boyd with my tail in between my leagues.

    Would like to get him back before the price rise. This new fantasy football fix has him nowhere near a price rise. Good old fiso has him at 200%. Anyone know which to trust?

      Safe to say Fiso is clueless. FFF leads from fplstats now.

          Fantasy football fix. Some fancy new site. Seems quite handy.

          Though it suggested I bring in puncheon, which makes me wary

          1. darko

            Ah another one. Yes end of an era indeed!

      Unlikely to rise
      Much more love for Wanyama, Cork and Obertan
      1.8% ownership too, higher than those
      Obertan should rise before Boyd, so use that as a yardstick

      I assume you mean TotalFPL (they're useless this year)

      FFF and FPL Stats are far more accurate than Fiso and TotalFPL.

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ta. Plenty of time to mull over Boyd

  6. Just A Hat
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    What do you think is more harsh?

    1) Making a rash sliding tackle on your friend and breaking his leg

    2) Hacking into his FPL account on the final gameweek and changing his entire team to players who don't play

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      3) If the person in 1 & 2 is the same.

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'd prefer 1. Can justify that as an accident. If somebody did that to my fpl then they wud be goin to the pig farm....

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      2) The leg will heal but there'd be no fixing his FPL team after that.

      If you think a broken leg is less serious than FPL you need to get off the internet because you've got issues

    The best combination of 2 "premium" defenders?

    Most teams have 2, sometimes 3, defenders that cost more than 5.5m.

    I think going forward the next 10 gameweeks the best combination of defenders is:

    From now untill GW12: Baines and Clyne/Bertrand

    Baines has: burn SWA sun WEST spurs Hull city QPR and so on
    Clyne has: STO hul LEI

    Before GW12 it's best to trade Clyne/Bertrand to Azpi/Chelsea-defender of choice

    Southampton then has: villa CITY ars UTD burn EVE cry CHE ARS utd
    Chelsea has: BROM sun TOT new HUL sto WEST

    I think this combination will be the best one the next 10 gameweeks, Ivanovic is too expensive as his statistics are taking a turn for the worse going forward. Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and United all look suspect at the back, while I don't think City-defenders offer the right value/nailed-onness.

    1. Chris_White
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I agree, but I can see Luis getting some starts in our home fixtures if he does well during Azpi's suspension.

      1. Fray Bentos
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        but just as likely - ivan dropped and azpi RB, Luis LB

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Baines, Ivan and Clyne for mwah

    3. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I agree with this entirely and currently have baines and Bertrand. Will transfer out Bertrand for a Chelsea in gameweek 12, but want to see if azpilcueta gets straight back into the team. Otherwise I'll aim for a sure-starter.

      No worries.
      An article would do the job but the care factor isn't really there given how the decision is made.

  9. FBorges
    • 10 Years

    How likely is Mourinho to rest this 3 players vs Maribor?

    - Ivanovic (Azpi cant play vs Utd)

    - Fab

    - Hazard

    Using my WC on CL and i want some Chelsea coverage but im afraid none of them will play..

    1. Wouter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Get Remy then?

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Maybe Ivan but I'd be massively shocked with the other two.

    3. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      very strong chance Fab/Haz will be rested!

      Can Azpi play champ league if so i reckon he rest Ivan

      Mikel - willian - Ramires- Remy will all prob start

      1. The Hound
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Ramires won't

    4. Chris_White
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think Azpi and Luis will start, so Iva gets rested.

      Problem with Fabregas that both Ramires and Mikel are out. If they were both fit, I think both Matic and Fabs would have been rested. Don't think Mourinho will play the likes of Aké until we are safely through.

      Schürrle is also out, but I think Salah will start so there's a better chance of Hazard being rested.

    5. FBorges
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Ty guys, probably going w Cahill and Rémy, both seem like safe choices, right?

  10. Buck The Trent
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Are Spurs defenders worth it? Need a one week defender who has a high chance for CS (playing in a manager of the month league and next week is the last week)

    Saw Aguero had 11 shots on Saturday !

    1. Wouter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I was looking at Rose. They have decent fixtures in something like the next 4 I think, but after that it becomes really ugly.

  11. nibby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    I want to get Aguero in my team,but have to take (-8) hit .Should i take the hit or WC ??

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      just leave aguero.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah who would want a player that scored 4 goals against a decent defence and could have had probably double that.

  12. Ghost Ship
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    I've just realised the problem with having three Southampton defenders is I can't get Tadic or Pelle. Bit naive of me.

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      3 soton defenders is madness anyway

      1. Ghost Ship
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        They've racked up the points. Not unhappy, just annoying so many good players in one team.

        1. tm245
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Liverpool were like this for a time last season. I always wanted four or five of their players.

  13. No Pirlo No Party
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Begovic
    Clyne - Bertrand - Terry
    Fabregas - Sterling - Silva - Sigurdsson
    Costa - Pelle - Welbeck
    (Gilks - Henderson - Chester - Wisdom)

    Thinking of Terry out this GW.

    Upgrading Terry to Baines pretty much rules Aguero out until the January WC.
    Seems wise downgrading Terry to spend the funds elsewhere. Thoughts?

    1. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I have aguero and would say he is more important than baines, but your front three is gonna keep getting points, whilst having baines at the back gives you a midfilder-style source of points...

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Good point. I'm really not sure what one of the front 3 I would drop to fit Aguero in...

        Only worry I have is Baines pretty much rules out Aguero anytime soon without taking a hit.

    2. DRAFTSNAKE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Baines isn't going to score 15pts every week (I hope.) so downgrade Terry to someone like Chambers then you could do Pelle&Welbeck > Sakho&Aguero later on. would probably give you money to upgrade Chester along the way too.

  14. Sharkytect
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    I would like to think it's not people from here who are transferring out Costa in their droves, right? His value will annoyingly drop soon but I am hanging on because I've already made the devastating mistake of transferring him out earlier in the season, and wasted a lot of points getting him back.

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Most hanging on I think, myself included.

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      its to get Aguero.. his price will drop. But its OK as most got him for 10.5!

      1. Sharkytect
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        yeah I did and stupidly got rid the first time Mourinho said he was injured! Now I have costa and aguero so I certainly won't be transferring. I bet most won't be able to afford him back if he turns out to be fit to play united...

  15. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    What's the story with Diame for Hull?
    Is he getting lucky or is he the new Yaya?

    1. Ghost Ship
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Good underlying stats. Not luck.

  16. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Do you think Tadic is season keeper ?

    1. mipola
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      No.

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      No, their fixtures are terrible in four weeks. I'm getting rid of Pelle then.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah def lose pelle then....he can't do it against the big boys.

    3. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Not after gameweek 12...

  17. The Hound
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Surprised not doing a little better in playon, had aguero, tadic, full Southampton defence and I need mata to do well tonight to win anything at all.

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Only played it once or twice this year, enjoyed it last season but I think they've messed it up by over complicating it; and the new site has issues.

    2. Jones Town
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      That's why I don't play it. With no limits on the number of players from each team and the obvious bargains, everyone's teams are so template there is very little to distinguish between them. No fun for me

  18. YouReds
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Guy, what you think to this? I have the exact money for

    Azpi, Bruce, Bego > Kaboul, Bertrand, Guzan (-4)

    Seems a no brainer to me, just the Costa injury is holding me back becuase I could get baines if Costa is injured for a few weeks

    1. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't waste points on defensive transfers.

      1. YouReds
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        thanks for reply. I could do the following for no hits:

        Azpi > Bertrand
        Bruce > Hutton

        1. The Hound
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah that looks better. Wait until midweek games past though so u don't get injuries.

    2. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Costa will be fine...I hope

  19. Lallana_
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Assuming Costa is injured these transfers decent for a -4?

    Di Maria>Ramsey
    Costa>Aguero

    1.2M ITB
    Could get Sanchez instead of Ramsey

    1. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Losing Costa AND Di Maria because of a hamstring injury which he scored 5 goals playing with?

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Get Sanchez if u can but wait for news on costa. U will want him for qpr.

    3. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      wouldn't get Ramsey..

  20. Mavric Marco
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    People think Wisdom will play tonight or has he lost his place being unable to play vs Lfc.?

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      He'll play imo

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Nice, he's coming in for Costa! ...or maybe not nice considering i've got Maria captain.!!

        1. Wheato182
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Same here! ha

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Zaba/Sagna or Kolarov/Clichy Part II

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        but just with sh!tter players 😉

    3. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Think he'll play

    4. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Think the consensus is he'll play LB with gamboa at RB.

  21. Gooner97
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    A) Sterling to Tadic & Ulloa to Wlebeck
    B) Duff to Baines & Diego Costa to Welbeck

    1. tm245
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Def not A as it could be sideways for both moves. I don't mind B -- I did Chambers and Costa to Coleman and Cisse on Friday -- as long as you have Aguero.

      1. Gooner97
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Rest of the team is:

        annone (Heaton)
        Clyne Duff Wilson (Chambers, Wisdom)
        Hazard ADM Sterling Siggy (Boyd)
        Ulloa Costa Aguero

        1. tm245
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          It could work, as long as you are okay with the risk. Selling the highest scoring player was a very tough decision.

    1. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Surely well down the pecking order.

    2. Ghost Ship

      POO?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years

        Reverse OOP.

        He might play as a turd striker.

        1. Ghost Ship
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Not a technical term for Liverpool's defence?

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      He's nowhere near good enough yet.

    4. Gaztafari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think Rodgers was that unimpressed with Enrique yesterday that he'd be behind Moreno in pecking order, plus Moreno could be injured. That's what the article is implying anyway. Still have Flanagan to throw into the mix when fit.

  22. Whazza
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    The moment you realise you're 0.1 short of Chester & Eriksen -> Baines & Chadli...

    I hate Mondays.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Id keep Eriksen

      1. Whazza
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        But I want Baines 🙂

    2. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years

      Coleman?

      1. Whazza
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Not for me, I love the set pieces

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'm getting Eriksen in.

      1. Whazza
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Good choice, but rather Baines + Chadli than Chester + Eriksen, right?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Long term I would have to say yes.

  23. The Machine
    • 11 Years

    Good work captain but it looks like our efforts will be in vain as people seem to be more attracted by "the ultimate differential xi" as they were last week

      Out until 4am with Champions League a few days later?!

  25. jaredwilliams
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Thoughts greatly appreciated...

    a) Shawcross + Welbeck

    b) Baines + Naismith/Sakho/Berahino

    c) Chambers + Pelle/Welbeck (-4)

  26. The Governor
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    My main worry about Aguero, is his price.

    Already £12.4m, outrageous...

    1. tm245
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Inexpensive imo. The galactic strikers should always be 13m or more.

  27. Lallana_
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Want Aguero but don't know who to get rid of. I'm assuming Costa will be fine for this weekend:

    Currently have: Welbeck, Pelle and Costa. It's hard to drop any of them!

    1. The Governor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      This is the issue a lot are having.

      I'm thinking of selling Costa tbh..

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I would go without imo. If youre dropping any it has to be Welbeck

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        +1 on the Welbz bit

    3. Doolittle
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think I'm going to do Ulloa to Pelle and go with the same front 3 as you, and just forego Aguero unless Costa is out for a while. I don't think any player is essential, and I don't think Aguero will outscore Welbeck by enough to warrant decimating the team. I am happy with having Sanchez, ADM, Baines et al.

  28. nibby

      How you going in your mini league?

      If you are 8 points ahead go for it
