Our next members article of the week turns the spotlight on second-placed Leicester City. After scoring in each of their first 17 league matches, Claudio Ranieri’s side have gone off the boil in the final third, drawing a trio of successive blanks and conceding just once as the festive fixtures take their toll on the Foxes chief protagonists.

The tactic of doubling-up on Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, which proved so successful over the first half of the 2015/16 campaign, is now coming under question by many Fantasy managers. Indeed, with wildcards now in play, the former has been transferred out of over 160,000 FPL sides due to an ongoing groin problem which makes him a slight doubt for next Wednesday’s trip to Tottenham.

With a few days still remaining until next Tuesday’s Gameweek 21 deadline, we delve into the data over the last few fixtures to assess the Foxes performances and to ascertain whether the recent exodus is merited.

    If you had 2FT

    Would you bring in Alli and Aguero tonight in anticipation of a potential Kun 0.1 rise

    or

    Wait until tomorrow to make sure Alli doesn't pick up a knock and forget about the 0.1

      probably quite a few WCs floating around which will affect price rises. ffix more attuned to this i think so "maybe" aguero is safe for another day. if 0.1 is that important, just do it now and hope for best. if not, wait.

      The difference between the sites is worrying.

      Who are you shipping out by the way?

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Silva would make way to open up a 3rd city spot and either Giroud/Lukaku depending on injury updates

        You're not thinking about Kun are you?!

  3. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Could I hear your thoughts and suggestions on this wildcard team, if you will. Too much Spurs?

    Butland
    Alder Williams Cresswell
    Alli Payet Ozil KDB
    Ighalo Aguero Kane
    (Hennessey Simpson Kosc Mahrez)

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You can never have too many players from one team.

      Really good team.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        TY Sir, I'll probably resort to Kane > Lukaku eventually as I think Lukaku will finish the season on more but just can't ignore Kane with upcoming fixtures.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I like it man, certainly solid, i can't say much about how to improve it to be honest haha!

      Ii posted mine below 🙂

    3. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good

      Would still be looking at Lukaku

    4. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Very good team that. I was gonna say that I'm not sure on KDB, but I dunno who I'd replace him with...

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers for that guys, didn't expect quite as many responses.

    5. white lightning
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      This is exactly the same as mine except I have Lukaku over Kane.

  4. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hiya lads, this is my final WC team, so definitely the last time i'll post it now until dead line, just looking for some last overall comments if you could please? Anything that looks out of order?

    Courtois

    Alderweireld - Koscielny - Cresswell

    Ozil - Payet - KDB - Mahrez

    Lukaku - Aguero - Kane
    _____________________________

    Trying to decide between Bellerin/Koscielny and Rangel/Daniels, but this is where i'm at right now.

    6. djenzio
      • 11 Years

      good but personally would bench Ozil/Lukaku over Alli

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers man, ooo i don't think i could find it in me to bench Ozil, but lukaku could make way, mind made up all the more if he's confirmed out or anything.

    7. â­ Bemba_Da â­

      You must have some team value

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        haha yeah i couldn't remember exactly what it was, but i know it was around the 109.5 mark, it's 108.4 now with 0.4 left over.

        1. â­ Bemba_Da â­
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Thats brilliant. Im 2.5 off this team ðŸ™

          I always have a crap team value ðŸ™

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Shame, but team value hasn't really meant much this season i guess, i just built as best i could for when i wildcarded, just comes in very handy in these situations.
            Hopefully you'll hop on to some early cash builders mate.

    8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Can't beat that buddy.I have to suggest rangel over kos this week..I'm doin exactly same. Benching kos isnt pretty but rangel vs Sunderland gotts be the best chance of a cs

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        haha thanks brain, yeah it's crossing my mind weather or not to bench kos for rangel, but as you say it certainly raises the chances of a clean sheet, may well do this yet.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ah, I see.

      Wow, team value?

  5. southernpacific

    Final question play 1-

    Moreno Evans Richards

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      i say Evans

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Evans

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Evans

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not Richards

  6. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    2FT's and £5.4

    Hennessey - Myhill
    Bertrand, Alderweireld, Zouma, Ward, Bellerín
    Arnautovic, Özil, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Morrison
    Lukaku, Vardy, Kane

    Got some ideas from the community and have tweaked my options accordingly.
    What do you think?

    a) Bertrand + Vardy > Rangel + Aguero
    b) Bertrand + Vardy > Williams + Ighalo (leaves £ for Arnie + Myhill > Payet + Courtois next GW)
    c) Bertrand + Morrison > Williams + Alli (bench Vardy)
    d) Other?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Haha... thanks Poch. Seems I can rely on you for an answer. 🙂

        1. Pochecinno

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

      Not sure if I would ship out Bertrand

      He has been getting forward and has very good underlying offensive stats last few weeks and has two home games coming up

      Definitely get rid of Vardy since he just had surgery and I think his timetable will be longer than 2 weeks

      I would probably just focus on my front 8 and do

      Morrison+Vardy âž¡ Alli+Ighalo

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Ruberx, Ighalo certainly gives me more options going forward!
        I could ship Ward instead as I have Hennesey in goal?

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          That would be the better option if you'd like but I honestly think your defense is very strong and flexible as it is.

          You have 4 potential starters just this gw in Toby, Bertrand, Zouma and Bellerin.

          Also, not really sold on Swansea form turnaround yet. They may have some nice fixtures but they are still in a relegation battle themselves.

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            So I could do Ward > Cheapie... like Smith or Simpson?

            Still not sold on Zouma as a guaranteed starter btw. Will know soon enough.

            Swans seem a more defensive minded bunch since the new manager... I also like Cresswell so might leave it this GW.

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Downgrading a defender allows cash for Kun. Or forget about him?

              1. RubeRx
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                I see

                I'd hold off on Kun this week and possibly downgrade Arnautovic inext GW

                Stoke's fixtures take a turn

                1. ILOVEBAPS
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah I got Arnie in for this GW really so hope he can do something before I ship him out.

                  Not many say to get Ighalo over Kun which I find surprising.

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

              i think he is fairly nailed

              they havent conceded the last two PL games which he started

              are you trying to find funds for kun?

              1. ILOVEBAPS
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                Yeah. But also to do upgrades of Myhill > Courtois and Arnie > Payet

                1. RubeRx
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  May be thinking too far ahead as Payet came off the bench again today and has yet to play more than 30 mins I believe

                  I'd just focus on finding Vardy's best replacement

                  1. ILOVEBAPS
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 2 months ago

    1. Pochecinno

      It was excruciating. The positive of United going through is that they won't be sacking LVG just yet

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        😀

        I found Del Monte's (ffs poster) comments today of him saying Klopp would never join Liverpool and wants to go to Manchester United. This was earlier on this season.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          They've moved onto Guardiola now

            • 15 Years

            And then he'll join City! 😀

      Thought above Doosra please?

    2. S.Kuqi

      Too drunk to read it but I assume Leicester has regressed.

    3. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years

      So... what's your verdict on Leicester then? 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Well, Vardy has been gone some time, and Mahrez is on the bench. May not survive next week.

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah he's also on my bench, playing Alli ahead of him. Just worried that if he scores I will drop like a stone due to his ownership.

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It's absolute quality

      Sadly left me questioning my team

      Agreed, fantastic read.

      What? Not once does he contextualise the article at all with who those three fixtures were against.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Liverpool, okay bad game away at Anfield
          Man City, both sides seemingly happy with 0-0 (Will they be against any other side?)
          Bournemouth, shooting was wayward but there in volume as normal, Mahrez was a missed penalty away from a 11 point haul.

          Shifting sorta injured Jamie Vardy might have merit but thats an aside reason from the babble of stats above.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Mahrez' stats are sinking like a stone.

            1. ​
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah I think you're reading too much into one bad game and playing for a one off 0-0 draw.

  8. Every Dog Has Its Day

    My plan was to revise all day today but one of my flatmates told me to watch Jessica Jones on Netflix, I'm now hooked and I have 4 exams this week. It's a really good show for those wondering.

    Back to FPL, has Martinez said anything about Lukaku?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

      I thought I was bad at Uni

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Make sure you revise. You'll regret it if you didn't get what you can achieve

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      Go and revise son. You've got the rest of your life to sit on Netflix and FFS

    4. Pochecinno

    An absolute belter of an article with the usual verdict though.

    So what exactly are we supposed to do now anyway..

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      prob just hold Mahrez as so many other options opening up front you don't need Vardy anymore

  10. Dušan Citizen

    Any Lukaku news?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Unfortunately not

  11. boogle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Best def up to 4.5?

    A) Wollscheid
    B) Simpson
    C) Rangel

  12. Davido989

    10 years, 2 months ago

    Koscielny with some comical defending there

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Three questions.

    Will Aguero score at a rate better than 19 goals in 24 games for Man city?

    If so...how many more than 19 goals in 24 games would you expect him to score?

    Finally...Why are people selling Lukaku for Aguero?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No
      Don't know

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I understand the nervousness about Kane because he seems to be being pushed into a more rounded player than just a pure striker. It's not a bad shout, risky but understandable. I can't for the life of me see why Lukaku needs to be sold.

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          He can score against anyone and is bang in form. It's pure silliness.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Impossible to tell about Aguero given his history with injuries (also that we can't tell the future).

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not doubting Aguero, far from it...but I think I'd be looking to shift somebody else.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn't take out Lukaku for sure. But I guess people are looking more towards a Lukaku Kun Kane frontline.

      Fatigue.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Now move the ticker on two weeks and look at the six after that. And that number for the City defence is shockingly generous Doosra.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          If you say so. 🙂

          Everton are about to hit the buffers, imo.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Do you think so?...any reason?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Too many matches, and Mr. Martinez.

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                In what way Mr Martinez ?...Do you think he will tinker too much ?

          2. A.T
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            It didn't look that way when they beat City midweek.

    4. ​
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      ~40% chance he beats 0.8 goals per game
      its a crapshoot, he could be 5 over or 5 under
      short term fixtures and injury scare giving them the heebie jeebies.

      1. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Out of interest how are you reaching those numbers?

        1. ​
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          0.72 NPxG per 90, chuck in a couple of penalty opportunities and adjust for the fact he'll get subbed on 60 minutes occasionally, its a ball park figure for beating 0.8 goals per game

          1. Barry Woj
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Ah OK fair enough, cheers!

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He won't beat those numbers by much...if at all.

        1. ​
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          last two seasons
          15 in 19 starts
          24 in 29 starts, bang on target.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Oooh. Nice numbers and exactly what I was trying to say.

    5. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If we can keep him fit and provide the service then yes. People need to realise that when Kompany is out we are terrible at defending, selling Lukaku if he is fit is a horrible decision.

    6. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Think some are selling lukaku with view of getting him back for Kane after next two.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        That makes sense.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Considering it myself but worried I'll have other issues. Plus I agree I think it's folly to sell lukaku.

      2. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        yeah exactly. Kane has 2 great fixtures so madness selling him now for Kun surely? to be honest it's a major headache for those of us with Kane, Lukaku, Iaghloo what to do to get Aguero in to our teams.

    7. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      People fear kun simple as that. Lukaku could easily match him but people panic and he's a captain option whoever he plays home or away. So.everyone captains him and then you can't go without cos of his ownership. Just makes game boring when everyone captaining him every week but its fpl suicidal not to

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Kun rising tonight?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        I'll get him now then.

      not according to FFFix

  15. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Put this up a couple of times and some were genuinely shocked and I spose I can see why but I want Kun and this looks my only real option....

    KDB and Vardy -> Yaya/Payet and Kun for free

    thoughts?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No brainer

      1. waldo666

        Coming from which side of the fence AT?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Good move IMO with Payet.

          1. waldo666
            • 15 Years

            Cheers

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      did that 3 weeks ago, just before KDB scored loads of points vs sunderland. but yaya has held his own vs KDB last 3 weeks, luckily enough. at this point i think i'd go payet over yaya, but close call

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't want to lose Payet personally.

      Thanks for the input guys

  16. Judas
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth doing both of these in order to get Aguero this GW:

    -Downgrading KDB to a 4.5m MID and playing Alli is as 4th MID
    -Taking a hit in order to free up funds

    Vardy + Kolarov + KDB ---> Aguero + Dier + 4.5m

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No

  17. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking I have nailed it down to 2 potential wild card teams:

    1.
    Rudd - Cech
    Ivan - Cresswell - Alderwereld - smith - Ward / Cathcart
    Mahrez - Ozil - Kdb - Ali - stanislas
    Aguero - Ighalo - Kane

    2.
    Rudd - HENNESSY
    AZPI- Cresswell - Alderwereld - smith - NYOM
    Mahrez - Ozil - Kdb - PAYET- stanislas
    Aguero - Ighalo - Kane

    Which is the best? Improvements welcome
    Thanks

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1.
      I think the payoff is better. Cech, Ward is valuable additions over Nyom and Henn.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    @ Balders. Are you anywhere near deciding upon your transfers this week?

    1. ​
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. I'll probably get them done by tomorrow night once FA Cup is out the way though.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This benching decision is like trying to nail jelly to the door!

        1. ​
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          😆 don't sweat it too much this far out!

  19. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth getting in Aguero for a -4?

    Front line at the moment: Lukaku Kane Ighalo

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe for Kane.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't get anyone of those out for a hit

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah that's what I am thinking. Just depends on the lukaku situation I guess.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…

  21. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy to Aguero. One about to go down the other up. Pull the trigger now right?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If that's what you want, yes.

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Asking for advice.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Well, I'm not getting Agüero. Yet.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes if the option is that simple.

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, if you have no other concerns in your squad

  22. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who is more nailed out of these 3: Rangel, Collins or Ben Davies

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      None. Perhaps Rangel has a slight edge.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure but Davies is definitely the least nailed on

    3. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Collins

    4. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Defo Rangel. He is first choice IMO. I am confident.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I also think Davies is first choice but monitoring that one 🙂

      • Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Would you keep Arnautovic beyond this GW?

        Stoke fixtures after NOR are: ARS lei manu EVE bou VIL NEW

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yes if you can rotate

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn't keep Arnautovic this week. 🙂

          1. A.T
            • 15 Years

                • 15 Years

                Could be again after Norwich

          2. Pochecinno
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            You think Norwich will keep them out or just not a believer in the Stoke triumvirate

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years

              They have been very busy. 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          I will get Payet for him for a hit after NOR

        4. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, Arsenal are terrible at defending away so maybe after them.

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

          I think he will be going for Payet or Siggy.

        6. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          No.

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

          I was initially going to get rid after Norwich by after United their prospects for attacking returns look good.

            Have feeling he could explode against Everton.

              Getting Aguero is good I am sure. Not sure if Kane was the best one to get rid of though. I had the same front line as you and took a hit to get rid of Vardy instead.

          Well I also have Alli.

          Would Lukaku>Kun be better option

        Watching MOTD and Aguero is definetly coming in as (c) this week.
        I just think he is a much safer captain than KDB and in my case it seems KDB must go for him..

        DDG
        Koscielny // Ward // Azpill
        Ozil // Walcott // Mahrez // KDB
        Kane // Lukaku // Vardy

        Hennessy // Kolarov // Evans // Westwood

        A. KDB, Walcott & Vardy --> Alli, Payet/ Willian & Aguero (-4)
        B. Koiscielny, Walcott & Vardy --> Daniels, Stanislas & Aguero (-4)
        C. Walcott, Lukaku & Vardy --> Antonio, Igalo & Aguero (-4)

          I'm considering something similar to A, although would be doing the Walcott to Payet part next week so no hit for me

        Here's an interesting one....I think:

        a) KDB & Ighalo
        or
        b) Payet & Kane

        1. SuperMario
          • 16 Years

          Kane is potential captain which swings it

            so are KDB and Ighalo 😆

          Hmm that is interesting. I think it depends in whether you have Alli and Aguero.. B though edges it once Payet has had a few games

        Sup lads, hope all is well. Haven't had time to follow the football last week or two, how does this look?

        Lukaku, Vardy and Ramsey to Aguero, Payet and 6.3m striker for -4?

        Any suggestions for the striker? Could sell KDB for an 8.1m midfielder alternatively, but fancy him with upcoming fixtures. Another option is to avoid the hit and get Aguero and Payet in for KDB and Vardy.
