A trio of Josh Kings saved the Gameweek for the ScoutCast regulars, steering Jonty, Andy and myself to respectability, despite a scattering of ill-fated transfer hits. Meanwhile, AZ drops in with his own unique solution to the curtailed Gameweek 28, as he deals a controversial early Wildcard to help prepare for the choppy waters.

The Wildcard is a key focus of this week’s episode, as we extend our recent Hot Topic to the ScoutCast airwaves, arguing the optimum time to activate the most precious of chips.

Elsewhere, we spare a moment to weigh up the “essential” status of the aforementioned Cherries midfielder, consider the recent unrest surrounding Sanchez and Lukaku and discuss the fall-out from Kane’s twanged ankle.

    Get a Spurs mid?

    Bolster defense?

    Save trade and mini WC after international break?

    Heaton
    Alonso / Baines / Funes Mori
    Mane / Firmino / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Aguero / Lukaku / Llorente.

    Jaku / McAuley / Maguire / T. Carroll

      Are you fine with Firminho ?
      Looking to ship myself.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Financially he can become anyone except Sanchez.

    2. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      If Liv/City is high scoring, you could rake in the points with your current team. Funes Mori is a worry since he didn't start last game though. You could save and still get a haul this week though.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Good call but if it's 1-1 with Sane and Can scoring and no assists im stuffed.

        1. Jayv807
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          based on history, I'd have more faith in Liv showing up for a big game like this. Could lose Sterling to Alli if you don't like having all your eggs in one basket.

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Very big possibility I'll make that move. Cheers for your feedback.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I'm in very similar shape and sticking, will be nice to have 2 frees for after the international break and get Sanchez in without a hit.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        That's true. Doing well in ML so no need to make rash decisions

    4. minges
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      ideally a spurs mid for such good fixtures. losing either Liverpool mid is a lucky dip tho since they all like to explode in alternating weeks. Dammed if u do... dammed if u don't I guess!

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Sterling to Alli?

  2. KING KOUNDER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    What's the consensus on Firminho ?
    Planning to play aoa.

    Can do Sanchez/Alli for a hit.
    Worth it ?

    Mane Siggy King Lanz
    Costa Lloren Kaku

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      If you are playing AoA, then worth it

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yeah I'd play AOA... the hit is tempting!

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      for AOA chip worth a hit i tihnk

  3. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Hello chaps, what would you do with this bunch of schmucks? 😀

    Pickford
    Alonso / Coleman / Mawson
    Mane / Coutinho / Sigurdsson / King
    Aguero / Ibra* / Lukaku

    Heaton / McAuley / Brunt / Carroll / 0.7m in the bank...

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Save FT and go with 4-4-2

    2. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Could go Brunt to Valencia and play 4-4-2 if you aren't fussed about losing some value on Ibra (if you were planning on bringing him back in after his suspension anyway that is)

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        or this^

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Ibra to Gabbi? if for free. Its a GW early but frees up cash for Sanchez in GW31.
      That or hold and let a sub come in for Ibra

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Really interesting you've all suggested 4-4-2... I hadn't really even considered it and am playing with it now! 😀

        Thanks chaps

  4. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    hello All,

    On WC and just trying to sort out GK/Def

    Which combination would you prefer to fill out the below? (Currently Heaton/Mawson fill those spots)

    XXXXX, Pickford
    Alonso, Walker, Valencia, Yoshida XXXX
    Sanchez, Mane, Alli, Siggy, King
    Costa, Lukaku, Gabbi

    Options:
    A) Caballero, Mawson (0.6m ITB)
    B) Caballero, Williams (0.0m ITB)
    C) LLoris, Britos (0.0m ITB)
    D) Courtois, 3.9 (0.0 ITB)

    I usually go cheap on GK and have had Heaton/Jaku since GW4, but looking at the schedules, I believe Spurs and Chelsea have the potential for the most CS the rest of the year. Therefore, I am considering spending a bit more for a premium keeper and don't think it would overly hurt the rest of my team selection. Of the premium, I am leaning towards Courtois so I don’t max out my Spurs assets for when Kane returns. Appreciate any feedback.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      A

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Consider Valdes with Heaton? Valdes fixtures ok could have 34 double and Heatons fixtures get better when Valdes turn for the worst.

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Trying to get two keepers with DGWs now on the WC, so I don't have to be bothered using any future transfers to get a GK later. Valdes fixtures do turn terrible in about 4 GW's, which put me off him in my team.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Prob A, nice team.

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Thank you, so torn what to do though. I am sure the 0.6m will come in handy later when I shift around players for DGWs. appreciate the opinion.

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      A

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Thank you for the opinion!

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Ok how does this front 8 look from 30 on?

    I will play AOA with it in 30
    As 7 are homers except Alli who is the exception and all fairly decent fixtures, the plan after than is to bench 1 of the front 3 depending on fixtures.

    Sanchez Hazard Mane Alli Siggy
    Llorente Deeney Gabbi

    1. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      definitely a different approach. All three forwards have some solid fixtures upcoming so could pay off. Some would say benching headace, but I don't mind having options.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah I have to be different whenever one else consider 352 I switch to 343. Time of year for 15 rather than 11 or 12 I think. Everyone using a wildcard is trying to get 15 I am trying to hold til after 34.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Not balance enough, you can do better 😛

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        It's the same problem annoying me this week
        Who would you lose from that mid 5 to keep Lukaku up front. That would look more balanced?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Sanchez this week. Over long term, maybe Mane/Sigurdsson

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Thanks can't be Sanchez he just came in. Could consider Siggy with Llorent there too but he such a consistent FPL asset for the price and nice fixtures.

            1. Holmes
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 25 days ago

              Why not drop a forward for cheapie like Okaka or Barnes?

              So 1 of Llorente/Defoe/Deeney and Luka isnt a bad strikeforce

              1. Albrightondknight
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 25 days ago

                Thanks that would mean less hits too, currently have Diomande

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      You'll want Ibra at some stage.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah I will have to lose one of the big mids for Ibra for 34.

    4. minges
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I like the plan. Only problem is not all plans in fantasy football work out 🙁 like my plan to get kane. dammit!! lol

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        I am outside 100k and want to push on. Punty has to be the way to go.

        1. minges
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          hope u don't cop an injury to stuff your rotation. I do like the plan tho

          Son (C) punt? 😛

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            I think it's a punt to have him the (C) would be too punty for me.

  6. Pep Wizard
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    A) son for chadli
    Defoe for diamonde
    B) costa for diamonde
    Cheap mid for chadli

    Which is worth doing ?????

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      A is exciting, not sure if it will bring points or be a failure 😮

    2. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      B with Carroll/Schneiderlin

  7. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    G2G?

    Pickford
    Alonso Baines Fernandez
    Sanchez Mane Siggy Antonio
    Kun(C) Llorente Lukaku

    Bench: Heaton Robertson De Roon Friend

    1. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      looks good, captaining Kun is risky though since most of FPL will likely go Lukaku.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Looks good. Kun pick could be good.

  8. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso McCauley RFM Robertson olsson
    Sanchez siggy Phillips Snodgrass Fletcher
    Lukaku llorente Aguero

    6.6ITB 1 FT suggestions?
    Cheers!

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I think i would get Alli for Phillips or Snoddy

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Phillips/Snod to someone decent.

      1. WALOR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        both those rascals out for Alli and Son

    3. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I know most may disagree, but you could benefit from a WC. You've got McCauley against ARS, RFM may not start, Robertson against Arsenal and Olsson unlikely to play. Then you have Phillips and Snodgrass to deal with as well. If you not keen on the WC, then definitely have to do something about Phillips/Snodgrass.

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        sorry, Robertson against Everton I meant

  9. Cheeseoid

    Any Sky players about?

    How many transfers are you sitting on?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I'm giving you a plus one.
      I feel like I've met you somewhere before.
      Sky players, I cannot help you with, as you aware, my friend.

  10. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    With a couple of ML friends, we decided to set up a 'World Cup' mini-league just for fun, where the teams are made up of one nationality only. We've made up teams from

    England
    Ireland
    France
    Spain
    Belgium
    Netherlands
    South America
    Africa

    OK, the last two are not countries but we got carried away a little bit! Care to make any predictions for the winner?

    I think Belgium looks really strong with Hazard, de Bruyne and Lukaku, while South America is very top-heavy with Sanchez and Aguero and lots of cheap players. Africa is surprisingly weak - turns out the majority of African Premier League players are defensive midfielders!

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Oceania didn't even get a look in

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Federici and Winston Reid ftw.

    2. Creedey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Brilliant idea! I will seriously do that next season!!

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah our plan was to do it next season but we couldn't wait so decided to have a little preview now. The Ireland team has 25.3 in the bank btw!

        1. Creedey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Haha thats awesome! Who's topping the table?

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            We just started! This coming GW is the first. My pick is Belgium personally. Ireland to finish bottom unless captain Seamus does something special.

  11. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    who is the 2nd best forward option apart from lukaku ??

    a costa
    b vardy
    c defoe
    d deeney
    e gabbiadini

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Costa in my opinion. I'm on Lukaku, Costa and Aguero at the moment, plan is for Aguero to become Gabbiadini in a couple of weeks.

  12. SpaceCadet

    Just did coutinho > king. Now I have four players in the bou swa game. Dumbass

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Nah it's going to be 4-4 points incoming 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Haha yes, then I'll wake up

  13. Creedey
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    What's the news on Martin Olsson? 🙂

    1. TorresMagic™

      Scout tweets ftw.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Fernando Llorente [dead leg] and Kyle Naughton [hamstring] are fit for the trip to Bournemouth. MartinOlsson"unlikely to play." #Swans

      1. Creedey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Cheers!!

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Would you do Kane to costa for a hit and bench Daniels?

    1. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yup

  15. Sanchit
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    RP due to fail.
    Heaton Robinson
    Baines Coleman Walker Brunt Stephens
    Sanchez Mane Coutinho Siggy Snoddy
    Lukaku Llorente Grabban
    0FT. 5.5 ITB

    Will Llorente and Brunt start ?
    Personally eyeing Hazard and one Spurs mid over next 2 weeks.

    1.Snoddy to Alli?
    2.Snoddy to Son?
    2.Something else?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yes, probably going to start...

      Snodgrass to Alli

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Definitely 1 or 2.
      Who knows who's gonna score higher, flip of a coin

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Llorente should, Brunt might.
      Alli is the safer option when you look at the Hot Topic.

  16. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Look decent after taking a -4?

    Pickford
    Valencia Coleman Brunt
    Coutinho Sanchez Mane Siggy
    Lukaku Costa Llorente

    (Heaton Robertson Capoue Love)

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Yep

      Nice team

  17. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Who would you bench?

    A) Sane (LIV)
    B) Lanzini (LEI)
    C) Play AOA and bench Jones (mid)

    Cheers

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Sane

    2. Holmes

      C

      1. Schwarzer

    Bench One --

    Sanchez Mane Eriksen Siggy King( 😳 )

      King and pray

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years

        Yep, bench the guy who scored a hat trick last week

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Also His record vs Swansea is too good to bench him

        2. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Whats the point in benching a mid worth more than 7 million. Shouldn't be in your team then.

            Eh? 🙄 . A player worth more than 7 million cam still have blanks no?

              If your other mids go and do their usual stuff (Score quite well) and King blanks you'll feel gutted that's all I'm saying. However I didn't see the Llorente, I would bench Llorente.

            What. Play a player who is bang in form, no matter what the price. He should bench Llorente who may not be 100%

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Llorente I guess

        1. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
          • 9 Years

          Robertson , Brunt , Amat

          yeah , i've been thinking about it too ..

    8. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Foster/ Jaku
      Alonso/ Cedric/ Coleman/ Brunt/ Amat
      Sane/ Firmino/ Siggy/ King/ De Jong
      Kun/ Lukaku/ Llorente

      1FT - 5.3 ITB

      Waiting on further Llorente and Firmino news, but feel like defense is a pressing issue. Then again - Costa? Sanchez? Struggling to sort it out and could use a suggestion or two.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Swap Sane or De Jong for someone. Sanchez if possible

        1. Werkself
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Thanks, but who would you play in defense this week in addition to Alonso & Coleman?

      2. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Swap Brunt for Valencia or Walker. your attack should be fine for this week.

        1. Werkself
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Thanks Jay. Any cheap replacement ideas for Amat?

          1. Jayv807
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Yoshida from SOU is the trendy pick at 4.3m and currently starting. But you already have Cedric. I couldn't recommend anyone else to be honest, as it is just trying to pick the best from the worst really.

    9. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Thoughts on this team lads? Anything worth a hit or go with this? Millions itb

      Heaton
      Coleman Baines Luiz Daniels
      Mane siggy Lanzini king
      Lukaku llorente

      Randolph brunt Allen KANE

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Kane seems like such a waste. Drop for costa?

      2. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        That's a playable team without a hit. But you will lose value on Kane and if it were my team I'd take the hit for Costa and bench and bench Daniels.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Cheers that's the dilemma, whether to make this move or stay

        2. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Afraid to bench Daniels as there could be a slight chance he's on pens. And bou have been getting a few lately

      3. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Agree with above you are just losing money sitting on Kane. Maybe not Costa if it does not allow money to upgrade to Spurs mid and Sanchez down the line. I have similar defence and it don't look good from 30 onwards so that will need some changes too.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Defoe?

          1. Werkself
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            This would be the perfect time for him if you are so inclined.

          2. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Defoe could be a good shout, I like Deeney

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 25 days ago

              Cheers bud. Maybe Kane to gabbi and bench him this gw? Purely to avoid losing value on Kane

              1. Albrightondknight
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 25 days ago

                Yeah good option too. I don't see King being an option after this week so you really should not have a benching problem again.

    10. Hochoki
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      whats the best transfer decision ??

      1. diomande/ carroll to costa
      2. diomande + firmino to costa + alli (-4 hit)
      3. carroll + firmino to costa + sanchez (-4 hit)
      4. diomande + firmino to defoe/vardy + hazard (-4 hit)

      my team is :

      Foster Pickford
      Alonso Coleman Baines Brunt Friend
      Mane Firmino Coutinho Siggy King
      Lukaku Carroll Diomande

      I have 7.8 ITB & 1 FT left. Any suggestion regarding the team would be very much appreciated.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        2 looks great but no idea who you would bench

        1. Hochoki
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Carroll

    11. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      So Snodgrass unlikely to start? 😮

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Would definitely look to get him out if you have him and haven't used too many transfers

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Not enough cash to get Alli/Tadic, so have to keep him on bench for now

      2. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Dont see any reason to start him

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Cant wait to take him out next week...

      3. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
        • 9 Years

        i've been jettisoned him last week for king.. and it save my day..

    12. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Morning DZ, best move here and why?

      A) Mane -> Sanchez
      B) Snoddy -> Walcott/Son
      C) Stones -> Valencia

      Grant
      Baines, F Mori, Brunt
      Eriksen, Mane, Firmino, King
      Aguero, Lukaku, Barnes

      Jaku, Snoddy, Stones, Robertson
      Bank 2.2m, 1FT, 0WC

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        I'd move brunt to Valencia instead of Stones. WB has horrible fixtures, where City have an easy run in and Stones could potentially be of use.

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          this

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        All good moves, all severe upgrades too. So it's simply the timing isn't it?

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Snodgrass to Son. Walcott might block Firmino to Sanchez move due to cash

        1. AA33
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Surely he will perform well till the end so that a top club will try to get his services

          Hi all, just wondering if the whole Lukaku situation will affect his game prowess, thoughts?

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Good question mate. If it doesn't mess with his head (why can't he keep quiet about these things?) and he concentrates on his job - scoring goals - he should be okay. Let's face it, the days of top players staying at 1 club for all their career are over, and have been for decades bar a handful. He is basically playing to improve his own value as a commodity on the world market, same as Sanchez and good luck to them but wish they'd 'do it' with a bit more grace and tactfulness lol 😉

            1. Your Mum Zohore
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 25 days ago

              Exactly, every player's ambition is to win trophies and all the accolades in football, but he's also undermining Everton with his comments. It's quite obvious that Koeman in unhappy with what Kaku said:

              "Of course I am not happy about that interview. If Everton is not a club with a lot of ambition I would not be manager." (The Guardian)

              But he'll definitely start for them as he is their star player, just wondering if there will be any retrospective actions imposed on the player....

              Could swing both ways though, he could probably demolish Hull tomorrow.

                9 years, 25 days ago

                Yep they'll have to discipline him for that, quite right too. Saw a pic of him training laughing his head off so I guess he's had his rollocking and they can get on with it.

                  Alrighty then, so it's still wise to hand him the armband I assume?

          Sanchez, Firmino, Barkley, Sigurdsson
          Lukaku, Llorente, Barnes

          Jakupovic, T.Carroll, Robertson, Friend

          A) Play Brunt or Robertson (Who?)

          B) T.Carroll to Alli (Play AOA). Next week Firmino to Carroll and Barnes to Costa (-4)

          C) Firmino to Alli and Barnes to Costa (-4) (With option A)

          The main question is if Firmino and Barnes would provide points or not. They both are so unpredictable

          1. Jayv807
            • 9 Years

            how much do you have in the bank? and how many free transfers?

          2. Sahil Yadav
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            1 FT and 7.3 Itb

            1. Jayv807
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 25 days ago

              I'd do Barnes to Costa for sure. If Firmino is fit, I would probably consider Brunt to Valencia for a hit. Should make up the -4 against MID and you would likely keep him for the rest of the year. I believe you would still have enough in the bank to swap Firmino to Alli the next week if you still want him. just pay attention to price increases obviously.

            • 9 Years

            I went Mane and Costa on my WC, but I managed to hold onto King as well fortunately.

            • 9 Years

            Hazard, King and a more reliable striker than Vardy. You can get one of GabbiaDeeney. And use the funds in midfield
