After rolling out Part One of our Lineup Lessons yesterday, we turn to our second installment this lunchtime. Ronald Koeman changes both of his full-backs for the visit of Swansea, Gerard Deulofeu impresses on his first start for Everton, whilst Bafetimbi Gomis is hauled off at half-time for the Swans.

Everton
Starting XI: Howard; Browning (Gibson 72), Jagielka, Funes Mori, Galloway; McCarthy, Barry; Deulofeu, Naismith (Kone 72), Barkley; Lukaku (Lennon 89).

Roberto Martinez made two alterations for the away clash at West Brom. Ramiro Funes Mori made his first Premier League start in place of the injured John Stones, while Gerard Deulofeu came in for Arouna Kone on the right of the three attacking midfield positions in Martinez’ preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. Tyias Browning continued at right-back, with Seamus Coleman still struggling with a hamstring injury. Darron Gibson made his first league appearance of the season as a late substitute, while Arouna Kone made an impact off the bench, scoring the second goal, and may challenge Naismith or Deulofeu for a starting berth against Liverpool. After the match, Martinez said Stones and Coleman were very close to playing, so the pair appear likely to return to the starting XI for the Merseyside derby on Sunday.

Norwich
Starting XI: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson; Howson, Tettey, Dorrans (Redmond 69), Brady; Hoolahan (O’Neil 85); Jerome (Mbokani 64).

Alex Neil made two changes for the trip to Upton Park, with Martin Olsson and Wes Hoolahan replacing Nathan Redmond and the ineligible Matt Jarvis. With Olsson starting at left-back, Robbie Brady shifted forward to the left side of midfield in Neil’s 4-4-1-1 formation, with Hoolahan operating “in the hole” behind Cameron Jerome. Jonny Howson played narrowly down the right side of midfield. Jerome was again hauled off this week, this time for Dieumerci Mbokani, and having only scored once so far this season, could slowly be losing his grip on a starting spot. Redmond came off the bench to find the back of the net for the Canaries, and may well come back into the starting line-up for the home encounter against Leicester on Saturday. Either Howson or Graham Dorrans appear the most likely to make way. Neil will face some selection dilemmas though, with Jarvis also available to face the Foxes, having enjoyed a strong start to life at Carrow Road.

Southampton
Starting XI: Stekelenburg; Cedric Soares, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Wanyama; Mane (Juanmi 86), Steven Davis (Romeu 63), Tadic (Rodriguez 74); Pelle.

Ronald Koeman made three alterations from the side which lost 3-2 to Man United. Cedric Soares came back in at right-back for Maya Yoshida, while Ryan Bertrand made his first league start of the campaign at left-back, with Matt Targett missing out. The other change saw Steven Davis start in place of Oriol Romeu alongside Victor Wanyama at the base of midfield in Koeman’s usual 4-2-3-1 system. Sadio Mane operated on the right of the three advanced midfield positions, although there was plenty of fluidity between himself and James Ward-Prowse, who started in the number ten role. Ward-Prowse and Davis seemed to also interchange pretty frequently for the Saints. Davis was replaced by Romeu, and the two appear to be battling it out to partner Wanyama in Koeman’s first choice midfield pairing. Jay Rodriguez and Juanmi made late substitute appearances, but both may struggle to oust any of the current front four ahead of the trip to Chelsea on Saturday. Bertrand got through his first 90 minutes of the season, meaning Targett’s time in the starting XI now appears to be over.

Stoke
Starting XI: Butland; Johnson, Cameron, Wollscheid, Pieters; Whelan, Adam (Van Ginkel 75); Shaqiri (Afellay 46), Bojan (Diouf 62), Arnautovic; Walters.

Mark Hughes brought in Philipp Wollscheid and Charlie Adam for the home clash against Bournemouth, with the injured Marc Wilson (calf) and Marco van Ginkel missing out. Adam was back after his suspension, and started alongside Glenn Whelan at the base of midfield in Hughes’ usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Wollscheid made his first league start of the season in central defence alongside Geoff Cameron. Bojan continued in the number ten role, with Jon Walters the lone striker once again. Xherdan Shaqiri was forced off at half-time with a hamstring problem, with Ibrahim Afellay coming on in his place out wide. Bojan was then hauled off just after the hour mark, with Mame Biram Diouf entering the fray. Stoke’s final change saw Van Ginkel replace Adam, but after picking up their first win of the season, the Scotland international could well keep his place for the trip to Aston Villa this weekend. Diouf grabbed the winner, and could also come back into the starting XI, with Walters perhaps competing with Afellay for a spot on the right should Shaqiri fail to recover.

Sunderland
Starting XI: Pantilimon; Jones, O’Shea, Kaboul, van Aanholt; Cattermole, M’Vila; Johnson (Fletcher 45), Toivonen (Larsson 70), Lens; Borini.

Dick Advocaat made three changes for the trip to Old Trafford, with John O’Shea replacing Sebastian Coates at centre-back, Lee Cattermole coming in for Jordi Gomez in midfield, and Adam Johnson taking the place of Jermain Defoe. The Black Cats lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation once again, with Cattermole alongside Yann M’Vila in the double-pivot. Johnson was stationed on the right of the three advanced midfield positions, with Jeremain Lens on the left, and Ola Toivonen playing behind lone striker Fabio Borini. Advocaat changed things at half-time though, with Steven Fletcher coming on for Johnson, while Sebastian Larsson came on for Toivonen later on, with the Dutch boss opting for a 4-4-2 formation. Defoe was an unused substitute, so Fletcher could perhaps come into the reckoning for a start against West Ham on Saturday.

Swansea
Starting XI: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Ki, Shelvey (Britton 80), Cork (Montero 46); Ayew, Sigurdsson, Gomis (Eder 46).

Having failed to score in their last three matches in all competitions, Garry Monk opted for a midfield diamond for the trip to Southampton. Ki Sung-yeung came in for Jefferson Montero in the only change from the team which drew 0-0 against Everton, with the South Korean playing on the right of the diamond, with Jonjo Shelvey on the left and Jack Cork at the base. Gylfi Sigurdsson played at the tip behind Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis. With the Swans 1-0 down after a lacklustre first-half, Monk made a double substitution, with Eder and Montero replacing Gomis and Cork. He reverted back to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Montero in his usual position down the left flank, and Ayew stationed on the right, with Ki and Shelvey operating in the double-pivot. With the diamond formation being ditched so early at St Mary’s, Monk may revert back to the 4-2-3-1 system from the off against Spurs, so Cork and Ki could be battling for one spot alongside Shelvey in the engine room.

Tottenham
Starting XI: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Alli, Lamela (Carroll 87), Heung-Min Son (N’Jie 75), Eriksen (Chadli 68), Kane.

Mauricio Pochettino only made one change from the side that beat Crystal Palace 1-0, with Christian Eriksen coming in for Nacer Chadli. The Dane played on the left of the three attacking midfield positions in the Argentine’s 4-2-3-1 system, with Heung-Min Son in the number ten role and Erik Lamela on the right. Dele Alli once again impressed alongside Eric Dier in the double-pivot, while Ben Davies again started at left-back ahead of Danny Rose, with the back four selection remaining very settled. With Ryan Mason and Mousa Dembele also closing in on returns, Chadli’s pitch time now looks a concern, with Son and Eriksen looking the most secure starters behind Harry Kane.

Watford
Starting XI: Gomes; Nyom (Ake 75), Prodl, Cathcart, Anya; Capoue, Watson (Ibarbo 82); Abdi (Berghuis 63), Deeney, Jurado; Ighalo.

Quique Sanchez Flores named an unchanged team from the one which won 2-1 at Newcastle for the visit of Crystal Palace. Ben Watson continued alongside Etienne Capoue in the double-pivot in midfield, while Troy Deeney tucked in just behind lone striker Odion Ighalo. Steven Berghuis and Nathan Ake came on a second-half substitutes for the second match running, but it would be a slight surprise if either forced their way into the starting XI for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday. Victor Ibarbo made his first league appearance for the Hornets late on, with perhaps a longer outing off the bench a possibility against the Cherries.

West Brom
Starting XI: Myhill; Dawson, Olsson (Chester 27), Evans, Brunt; McClean, Fletcher, Yacob (Lambert 85), Morrison, Berahino; Rondon (Gardner 68).

Tony Pulis stuck with the 4-1-4-1 formation which produced a 1-0 win at Aston Villa last time out, and only made one enforced change to his starting XI, with Jonas Olsson coming in for Gareth McAuley, who missed out because of a calf injury. Saido Berahino again started on the left, but effectively played as an inside forward, giving support to lone forward Salomon Rondon. Olsson himself picked up a groin injury in the first-half, with James Chester stepping in as a replacement. Craig Gardner replaced Rondon in the second-half, with Berahino then taking over the lone striker role, while he was joined up front late on by Rickie Lambert as the Baggies chased an equaliser.

West Ham
Starting XI: Adrian; Jenkinson, Tomkins, Reid, Cresswell; Kouyate, Noble (Zarate 85); Lanzini (Carroll 72), Payet, Moses (Obiang 57), Sakho.

After winning at the Etihad last week, Slaven Bilic only made one change for the home clash against Norwich, with fit-again Cheikhou Kouyate starting in place of Pedro Obiang. Dimitri Payet was stationed in the number ten role once more in the Croatian’s 4-2-3-1 formation. Victor Moses was hauled off just before the hour mark for the second match running, with Obiang replacing the Nigerian, allowing Kouyate to push forward from midfield. Andy Carroll continued his comeback with 23 minutes off the bench, although he still appears unlikely to start until after the international break as he looks to build his match fitness. Mauro Zarate was brought on as the Hammers chased a late equaliser, which Kouyate eventually delivered. With a trip to Sunderland up next, Bilic is expected to stick with a similar side, with Obiang the most likely to earn a recall in midfield.

      I like it, the front line is awesome, both Aguero AND Sturridge!

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah!!! I have slowly veen investing more in defence over the season so far, so thought i'd take the opportunity to pump my funds back into the attack!

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I love it, but surely there must be someone better than depay

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Would love to be able to squeeze a chelsea mid in. Pedro maybe. Lets see how they react against porto. I was thinking depay might turn it around now he has scored, but haven't been following him too closely to be honest

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Don't go for Depay. Ha generally been average in the PL and has a few tough fixtures right ahead.

          Martial + Mata + defender/GK are really the only United players worth considering and even then I wouldn't go for them yet.

          1. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            *Has*

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      upgrade defense a little bit

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Downgrade depay, sturridge or aguero? (No spare funds)

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Sturridge i would say,give him 2-3 weeks before you buy him

    4. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd probably look at downgrading Depay and upgrading Moreno. Solid team otherwise.

    5. ZTF
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Depay out for a cheapo (Hoolahan) and upgrade Ayoze. Perfect

    6. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Plans when / if Chelski hit form?

    7. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      How do you possibly have that much money?

    8. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Oh.. I thought I have good team value, but I'm 2.3m short from that team.

  2. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Still tinkering with my wildcard team:

    Myhill / Gomes
    Kolarov / Bellerin / Dier / Francis / ????
    Sanchez / Mata / Payet / Mahrez / ????
    Aguero / Pelle / Vardy

    For the blank positions, I'm thinking either:

    a) Cedric & Westwood
    or
    b) Moreno & Morrison

    Any throughts?

    Cheers guys

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      My main thought if what to do when Che hits form?

      1. Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Not really thinking about that right now, points to be had elsewhere in the meantime.

  3. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    What a nightmare GW7; brought in Ighalo and Payet for Benteke and Wanyama at last minute with the intention of benching Ighalo and playing 5 in midfield. However missed deadline and Payet's 8 points remained on the bench.

    Now Wilson is out for 6 months and I've no money to upgrade.

    Shall I:

    a) Play the team below and wait to transfer out Wilson

    b) Wilson > Vardy & Kolorov > Evans (-4)

    c) Wilson > Sturridge, Kolorov > Evans, YaYa >Hoolahan (-8)

    d) Wilson to yet another cheapie

    d) Something else?

    Myhill

    Richards, Kolarov, Francis

    Payet, Sánchez, Mahrez, Yaya, Pedro

    Ighalo, Agüero

    McCarthy, Wilson, Cédric, Gomez

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just do Wilson -> Vardy, no need to take a hit.

      1. Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Oh, just realised you can't afford that, sorry!

        1. Uncle Gamst
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No probs, thanks anyway

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      play your team. save the FT and do a double next GW.
      Only do a -4 if yaya is out too then u can get some funds by downgrading yaya

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Just concerned that Wilson's value will drop like a stone

  4. Kolarov Fpl Legend
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    is it madness to sell Kun? It is painful to watch him struggle...

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It could be genius but it's a fine line

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You never sell a player before home vs newcastle, let alone a city player

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        yea i know, i have 3 city players but he s really bad

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't have been madness thus far.

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly, thinking Pelle,Martial,Lukaku from gw 11 would be awesome front line with those fix.... but Aguero has to go if i m gonna do that

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Can't argue with any of that. As long as you know he is still the best striker in the league regardless of current form. You have to hope he continues to underperform. But at the moment I don't see any signs of him doing something. Just hope more than anything

          1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I know, and i know he cant continue under performing like this.... so it is really a Q for how long will he continue like this

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      with other more pressing transfers i stick with him

  5. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Is the Sky Sports App sponsored by Man Utd ??

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Should read

      "Identity of Chelsea sniper revealed"

  6. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard or KDB on a WC?

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      KDB

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      K

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd go both because I like Hazard

    4. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      KDB

  7. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Is Toby worth it over Ben Davies?

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'm going Dier if you can afford the extra £0.1m?

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Dier has 4 yellow cards, one more and he's banned one game. Something worth thinking about.

    2. Mattdrid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Davies nailed on starter?

  8. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    As Silva looks out, it is worth taking a -4 to De Bruyne?

    Thanks

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Silva was declared fit wasn't he

    2. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Silva trained for City today.

  9. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know if Ospina is starting today?

    Also, need to know who will take FKs for Barca now that Messi is out?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for the lineup.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Guess it was a complete ACL tear huh?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I haven't seen what the problem is, just the amount of time out. Whatever it is sounds bad 😮

        2. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Not a complete ligament tear, and not the ACL. There are four major knee ligaments, and he tore the "internal lateral collateral," a term I have never heard (it's either MCL or LCL). He does not need surgey; it is not a complete tear.

          I've torn my ACL in both knees, completely, and it sucks. Messi fortunately seems to be out for about 8 weeks, not too bad.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Neymar

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Neymar, but I think Iniesta might take some, too. I would also not be surprised if Lucho had Rakitic take a free kick now and again given his cannon.

  10. Killersquad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Bertrand + Olsson (norwich)

      First ever UCL team, is my bench too weak ? Any improvements ?

      ___________Neuer__________
      Bellerin Smalling Digne Bernat
      ____DiMaria_Sterling__Mata___
      __Muller(c)__Martial__Suarez__
      (Compella Matic Goldberg Garcia)

    • Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Lodygin / Shovkovsky (they don't rotate...)
      Bellerin, Bernat, Manolas, Criscito, Ignashevich
      D.Costa, Mata, KDB, Shatov, Zahavi
      Lewandowski, Suarez, Doumbia

      Thoughts ?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo?

        1. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          It's risky without CR7 but he is 15.0m. Very expensive.
          Suarez is 13.0 and Lewandowski 12.5.

      2. 420king
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        don't like the shovkovsky pick when you already have lodygin, they have 2x chelsea next
        only other thing i'd consider is getting ronaldo, just so you have better (c) options for day 2

        1. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          thanks, who would you downgrade for CR7 ?

          1. 420king
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I went with Ronaldo instead of Suarez but thats only because I'm planning to WC next round when Suarez is a must have

            1. Lyonnais
              • 13 Years

      How's this WC looking? Any way to fit Chelsea coverage in? Any way to squeeze 0.2m out to upgrade Evans to Dawson? 0.2m ITB.

      Ayew or Siggy... who will score more over next few weeks?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I wouldn't get either, but ayew

        1. Russell
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          How come? Haven't seen any of their recent games, are they looking poor?

        2. Russell
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Who would you get instead?

          1. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Swans don't look that great, Ayews stats have become a bit worse and Siggy hasn't got going FPL wise. Maybe look at Tadic Sako Redmond

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              3 out of their next five fixtures are very very good

              1. Greenbackbøøg…
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                Thats true, Ayew isn't really a bad pick tbh

              2. Russell
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

      Ozil > Mata worth a ft?

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        yeah mata looks essential

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Definitely not essential. Good player to have but I'm waiting for their fixtures to improve.

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Mata is class, his fixtures aren't. I'm happy to wait a few more weeks.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Thats true, not like Arsenals are great either though

        Cabaye, Red is not gonna play every game

      3. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years

        They both have amazing fixtures, but B

      4. testmat-20210805.8
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I'd say B. I think he's more nailed on than Redmond.

      5. Hy liverpool

      6. Yank Revolution

        Cabaye is in the thick of it for Palace- free kicks, penos.

    • ZTF
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ok imagine the scene. It''s a sunny Manchester afternoon. At the Etihad, Man City are playing Newcastle. Silva and De Bruyne are 100% fit. Who do you pick?

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        For C) KDB, but have both in team

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        silva (if 100% fit)

      3. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        KDB

      4. ZTF
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Is it KDB then? Worth a -4?

      5. C-Dawgg
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Silva, it's not even close.

        1. Taffer
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No no - it is very close. De Bruyne is a goal scorer.

          1. C-Dawgg
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I think he slightly into the over achieving demographic on that statistic

    • Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Which pair - you think - will have the most points at the end of the season:
      a)Alexis + Mahrez
      or
      b)Mata + Mane

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        a

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        A

    • pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Likely Atletico backline tonight?

      Gimenez nailed?

      1. Dr. King Schultz
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, should be.

      2. FBorges
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        i believe only Juanfran and Godin wont get rotated at same point...

    • Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think there is any point in using my ft on Gomez out for Souare when I have Rondon right, it doesn't make sense to my team? so would you save or use ft for Rondon to Lukaku?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        May as well keep faith in Rondon if you have him

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          So save I reckon and take Gomez out next week.

      2. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Save. I know West Brom don't go all out attack but the next 3-4 look good for goals

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Yeh I will keep the faith, the Def ft makes no sense?

          1. Pap Le Cissier
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I wouldn't myself. Thought about Davies?

      3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Lukaku definitely

    • testmat-20210805.8
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I haven't used my WC yet on this team but my goodness, my start has been awful.

      Butland-Guzan
      Williams-Kompany-Evans-Cedric-Bassong
      Mahrez-Hazard-Shaqiri-Payet-Anya
      Pelle-Aguero-Ighalo

      A) Should I use the WC and basically put in a lot of new players in here?
      B) Hazard ---> Sanchez a good use of the FT?
      C) Shaqiri ----> Mane
      D) Hazard ---> De Bruyne

      These are my four ideas. If you can suggest an alternative, I would welcome that. Thank you in advance.

      I still have not used the FT and I know that there will be an upcoming international break.
      I still have 2.1 ITB.

      2. C-Dawgg
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Shaquiri looks to be the weak link. Not sure about doubling in Southampton though.

        1. testmat-20210805.8
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          He was supposed to be my differential but that has not worked well. Doubling in Soton has not worked that well too. Cedric did give me an assist and that has been it. Pelle has given me returns though. Thanks mate!

          1. C-Dawgg
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Can you afford Walcott or Mata for him? Both look like great options right now. Also see kouyate or Barkley

            1. testmat-20210805.8
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              I actually can! Thank you so much for the suggestions!

        B, but why getting rid of Mane and Coutinho?

          coutinho : Eve A , tot A , Sou H

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            So what?

            Merseyside derby, there could be goals. You always play best against Spurs. And maybe Coutinho will repeat his long range shoot from last season at St.Mary's.

            Mane - weak Chelsea defence, Leicester even weaker, and your defence isn't great also.

                That's my opinion, maybe it's wrong. But I would get rid of Wilson only. Take a look at Mitrovic, Vardy, Sakho or Diouf.
