The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

Despite reeling from shedding Son Heung-min prior to his 19-point haul, I can’t avoid acknowledging that Spurs are currently the go-to source for Fantasy talent – particularly now that Harry Kane is back in our lives.

Jonty, Andy and Az join me for this week’s ScoutCast, which transforms into a tribute to Kane’s Gameweek 33 potential, with the striker enjoying a far different appraisal to his rival across north London – Alexis Sanchez.

With three successive blanks, the Chilean is burning many a Fantasy manager, and, once again we use the airwaves to vent our frustration.

Elsewhere, on the eve of the double Gameweek announcement, we chew over the offerings on show at Palace and Southampton, before rinsing through the weekend preview, with GreenWindmill keeping score.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    How to get Kane in?

    Grant
    Valencia Alonso Baines
    Sanchez Alli Son Siggy
    Aguero Origi Lukaku

    (Hennessey, Brunt deRoon Nyom)
    2FT 1.1ITB 1WC

    A) Aguero ➡ Kane
    B) Origi Sanchez ➡ Kane Zaha
    C) Aguero Origi ➡ Kane Benteke
    D) Aguero Origi Siggy Baines ➡ Kane Ibra Zaha Barragan -8
    (exact cash, can't do it after Siggy drops tonight)

      C, personally think Sturridge will start up front against WBA

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

        Origi has been very effective from the bench when given at least 30 mins though

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          When does Klopp ever give a sub more than 30 minutes?! Barring the 2 Brazilians last weekend of course 😉

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

            Fair point, the Mane sub for Origi vs Everton was enforced too, I personally think Origi will start, Klopp prefers him to Studge due to his work rate, energy etc but after Studge's cameo last match it is a possibility he starts.

            1. liiusions
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I agree Klopp clearly prefers him but he's been awful this season, even in his goal scoring run he was hardly convincing. Fwiw I think they'll both start, just not sure how

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

          recently, got an assist when given 11 mins in Arsenal match too

      2. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. Worried about that as well. I hesitate with C because it basically forces me into a Lukaku to Ibra next gw. A lot of value invested in Lukaku and faces West Ham.

    Sanchez Sane King Eriksen
    Lukaku Ibra Llorente

    Jaku Pieters Capoue Amat 1 FT 1.4 ITB

    A) Llorente and Sanchez to Kane and Zaha -4
    B) Llorente and Sanchez to Benteke and Alli
    C) Something else?

      A

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

      Would wanna keep Sanchez ideally but A

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        They way he and Arsenal have been playing? I suppose 2 doubles

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

          Yup, wouldn't want to lose him with the doubles but if you have WC you could always reverse it

          1. Kevtheotter
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Have a WC and losing little selling value

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

              He may drop soon too, so if you do get him back you may get him around your sv now depending on what it is

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

    Valencia uncertain, I'm playing AOA with Origi & Valencia starting, Huth is first sub. Should I.

    A) Leave it as it is
    B) Pieters in for Huth -4
    C) Jagielka (Have Holgate) in for Huth -4

  4. wowBOBwow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Got two frees and can ditch Toby for Ward and Aguero for Kane.

    Feels like a lot of butchery for one fixture though...

  5. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How's does this WC team look?

    Hennessy Pickford
    Rojo Gibson Davies Holgate Stephens
    Hazard Alli Sanchez Coutinho Zaha
    Lukaku Kane Anichebe

    1.2 ITB so enough to get Ibra next GW.

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Can I ask why did you wc now rather than 36?

      1. Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Wanted to get more weeks out of my WC. Most in my MLs have used there's so not at a disadvantage. Wanted to sort out some defender I had and get Kane in for this week. Meant I could set my team up for all upcoming doubles etc also

        1. Kevtheotter
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks

    2. nonprophet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I used wildcard two weeks ago. Got 84 and 82 last two weeks. It got me about 80 points lead in my mini league and now I can see who they get on wildcard and draft some of those players to block any moves to keep my lead. I also think that dgw 37 will have chelsea and Tottenham rotation as I can see spurs and Chelsea resting players week 37 and 38

  6. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Barragan or PVA or Ward 😐 ??

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Do you need to play them this week? Ward if so

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        not necessarily . Need someone for 34 now

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender for 6.7m or less(not Spurs) to fill this spot?

    Heaton Jaku
    Valencia Holebas Mawson FunesMori*

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Max 3 GWs needed.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        so you selling Aguero then TM 😮

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Probably. I'd only sell him next week if I didn't.

          1. Phil Dagger ⭐
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            there are shortage of any good defenders 🙁 .. all pretty meh options apart from Spurs atm

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, it's pretty rubbish.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson if WC left

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson or Ward, depends if you need them to play this GW

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Expect Valencia to play but Ward would be better otherwise.

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

      Cheers both.

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Who did you go for?

  8. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    siggy to zaha (-4)

    yes or no ?

    No other players from either team and no dgw34 players atm

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

      Not for me. Siggy on pens, set pieces, lorrente back and playing a poor defence with nothing to play for

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't seem needed this week with Siggy's fixture.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        ill lose sv on siggy tho or should i not care about that now and no dgw34 players was planning a minus 8 next week to get 4 dg34 players will become -12 if i do this next week, but as ur saying it doesnt seem needed.

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn't be worrying too much about SV at this point.

          Also, if you just look at the cumulative effect of all the transfers, there's really no difference between taking a -4 and a -8 over two weeks and a -12 in one week.

          Siggy could easily outscore Zaha this week; Zaha could get hurt and not even be available for GW34; etc. So I'd stick. But if you are antsy, pull the trigger and cross your fingers. It's not the craziest move.

          1. ZimZalabim
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            ur right it amounts to the same thing hits wise and now uve put the injury question in my head i think i will hold off for now, cheers 🙂

  9. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So Would you do

    1) Kun to Kane and Davies to Any Defender/Or someone like Gibson

    2) Ibra to Kane and Davies to Barragan/PVA /Ward and do Aguero to Ibra next week

    Can bench the defender this week too

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Can you afford Gibson with 2? 2 for me

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        4.9 budget for 2 sadly Gibson rising from 80 %to 5.0 was bad

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Of those two options, probably 1. I don't know if I like the hokey pokey with Ibra, and I think Gibson is the best option of all the defenders you listed.

      That said, I think Aguero could easily match Kane this week, so I'm holding Aguero, fwiw.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Barragan or Ward not good enough ? can get Gibson next week

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If you still plan on getting Gibson, and you are leaning toward your second option, then Ward seems to make sense. He's got good fixtures on both sides of the double.

          1. Phil Dagger ⭐
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            cheers Mate .

            1. BananaNose Maldonado
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              No problem. Good luck!

          2. liiusions
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Agree with this if Gibson's coming in next GW anyway

            1. Phil Dagger ⭐
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              yep Thanx

          3. nonprophet

            Awesome name buddy. I've heard you being mentioned on fantasy football surgery podcasts

            1. BananaNose Maldonado
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Ha! Cheers, buddy.

              Yeah, if I don't have a good game week this week it might be the last time you hear me mentioned 🙂

              My hold on the top 10 is getting a bit precarious.

  10. Kevtheotter
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Start 2 of

    A) Walker
    B) King
    C) Brunt

    Cheers

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      AB

    2. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A and B

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

      AB, Brunt very likely to concede, King in form plus it covers you whatever happens since if Bournemouth score king will score

  11. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Which combo is better over next 2 gameweeks (no hit)?

    A. Kane, Holgate and Barragan (would give me 3 dgw players overall - Zlatan, Zaha and Barragan)

    B. Benteke, Townsend and Gibson/Rojo (Would give me 5 dgw players overall - Zlatan, Zaha, Benteke, Townsend and Gibson/Rojo)

    Thanks..

    1. nonprophet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I got barragan as I think he is nailed. He played wing back last game too, and I would do A from the above

  12. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So do people think Aguero ---> Kane for free this week is worth it?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I know you're set for Kane and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but - you think Stephens and Yoshida will stop Aguero?

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Not necessarily but I think Spurs are a much better team at the moment so would bank on their striker outscoring City's 🙂

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Hmm, I've been against Kane all week but now I might actually get him in...

        2. Jethrik
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          No, Aguero will get his usual goal.

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      for free for sure

  13. Son of Rambo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    For those with Kane and Lukaku, are you getting Ibra next week?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yup, Lukaku makes way although he's destined for his customary goal vs the Hammers

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That's concerning. Like many, especially with so much value tied up in Lukaku. He could tear the hammers to shreds.

  14. SUPER MOKH
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Am I the only one to captain Benteke this week?? Madness??

    Grant
    Alonso - McAuley - Valencia
    Alli - Hazard - Zaha - Siggy
    Benteke - Kane - Kaku

    Foster, Gibson, Maguire, DeRoon (Gibson comes in should Valencia absent)

    Next week plan (based on this GW):

    A. Kaku - Ibra
    B. Foster - Valdes

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha is in better form if you want Palace, but go with you gut.

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Considering CPL form and LEI defense, im torned between Zaha and Benteke indeed! But i got the feeling that benteke will run riot this week as Zaha and Townsend will provide countless cross for him!

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Go for it, it's a good punt in my opinion.

          1. SUPER MOKH
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks!

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

      Yes it is madness imo since both Lukaku and Kane have good fixtures and have a higher ceiling but could pay off, who knows?

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Lukaku facing Burnley whos been improving defensively of late, could score but not seeing him scoring more than one. Kane just got back could be a bit rusty. Point is i need differential. Anyway thanks for reply appreciate it since i rarely got reply Lol

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Improving? Source?

          1. SUPER MOKH
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            3 CS out of last 4 game

            1. Pep says
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Against the worst attacking sides in the league.

  15. foreverton
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Take out Son or Valencia? Need to get in kane

    1. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Son, as you're getting another Spurs cover from Kane, and Valencia DGW in GW34 as well.

  16. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    In the last 4 games Burley have kept 3 clean sheets, 2 of those Away from Home...

    Do we really think Lukaku is the best (C) option?

    1. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli > Kane > Kaku for captain IMO

      But i think im going with Benteke somehow!

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I do think Palace could destroy LEI

        1. SUPER MOKH
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Lei defense looking miserable somehow, and i need differential

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Lukaku is the best option, but I think Everton score anyway. Keeping a clean sheet vs. Middlesbrough isn't a great accomplishment after all!

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm between Alli and Aguero myself fwiw.

      Needed opinion for my above post guys!

    4. Duffy Dunk

      I've been thinking about the same thing, which becomes even more valid when you see Burney's defeat scores away.
      They may be losing away games, but they don't concede many goals, while they usually score one goal less than their opponent.
      Lukaku won't be my captain, it's between the Spurs boys.

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yup Spurs boys are better option, im captaining Benteke anyway, your thoughts? Needed differential

  17. Teahupo'o

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Just did Aguero Origi ➡ Kane Benteke for free. Worried about Aguero v Southampton, but c'est la vie. G2G?

    Grant
    Valencia Alonso Baines
    Sanchez Alli Son Siggy

      G2G, all three forwards of yours will score so dont mind about aguero. Im captaining Benteke for differential

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. It's firmly on Kane for me, but Benteke seems a worthy punt. Actually toying with a deRoon ➡ Townsend (exact cash) -4 and play AOA.

        1. SUPER MOKH
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Why not Zaha instead of Townsend?

          1. Teahupo'o
            • 12 Years

            0.1 short

              Oh dear. Townsend it is then and go with AOA!

      Can't believe people selling Aguero

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why? It's not like he hasn't faced similar opposition recently.

        Yes, I think he will score against the Saints, but I've had him since the 2nd of March and never hit double figures. Versus Bournemouth Sunderland Stoke or Hull.

    Any tips what i shall change?

    Team is currently like this:

    Pickford - Lloris
    Jagielka - Bellerin - Lawton - Stephens - Stones
    Zaha - Sane - alli - Sanchez - coutinho
    Ibrahimovic - Kane - Origi

    0.3 itb and on wildcard

    My plan forward is to bring gabbiadini in for origi and most likely downgrade coutinho to Walcott to get Aguero for ibrahimovic and zaha into Redmond (hopefully zaha rise 1 so i can do it directly). This team will give me a decent amount of dgw players in gw36 and g37.
    I'm also tempted to get valdes instead of Lloris and I originally hard Davies instead of Lawton and a single gw keeper like mignolet, but Davies might get benched soon so I figured Lloris is a better option.

      Sanchez has the uncanny ability to just stop dropping after I sell him. That's the second time now.

      1. Teahupo'o

        He's the Stones of mids.

    7. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Phew Sanchez Kane and Siggy avoid changes! All important pressers to come later. Hoping for good news on the PVA front. 65mins v LEI goal and cleanse would do nicely!!

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't think he'll start vs. Leicester tbh.

        1. Legomane
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Think your probably right but always a chance Sam gives us a hint tomorrow- he loves him!

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years

            I hope you're right, I want PVA for the double anyway.

  20. Pigeon

    What should I do:

    A) T. Carroll -> Zaha, Origi -> Benteke (-4)
    B) Save then Walker -> Gibson, Siggy -> Zaha, Origi -> Ibra (-8)
    C) Something else...

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Isn't B for -4 if you roll a FT this week? If so, B for me.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        That does make sense

  21. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero double figure score would be glorious

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Amen to that.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I agree. I'll need a big couch without Kane, but I just don't see how moving Aguero to Kane this week makes sense when you look at Aguero's stats and Southampton's chances against recently.

      Good luck to us both, Kiwi.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I did Ibra>Kane FT will get back next week.

        Have Alli Eriksen Kane Aguero Lukaku(C)

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Nice. Heavy hitters there. A lot riding on Spurs running riot.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            No biggy as Spurs ownership so heavy

      2. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No double figures against Bournemouth Sunderland and Hull recently.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Are you captaining Kun?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Kane here. Alli (v).

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No he is already differential. Matching likely rival C of Lukaku. I'm 47pts ahead and he doesn't have Kane or Aguero

  22. Legomane
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone got a good ML battle on? Been going toe to toe for weeks with main rival...sneaked a 16pt lead after last GW.
    It's definitely affecting my planning now. Considering Sanchez out for (-8) rather than Aguero out for (-4) because he doesn't own Alexis but does have Kun. No way I'd be considering that move earlier in the season...

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Of the two I'd sell Alexis as Kun is in much better form, but not sure about the -8...

      As for mini-leagues, I had a good battle going on last year, but this year I leapt into an early lead and opponents just gave up... It's been good though, not playing to cover opponents' moves has made me go with my gut more often, and my OR is all the better for it.

      1. Legomane
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah it's a pain, but I'll gain Kane and 2x DGW'ers in the process if I make the move..wc in hand to fix later. Kane Kun 'n' Kak front line is mighty tempting!

  23. davies
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Valencia owners...

    What to do? Do those comments suggest he won't play both games in 34?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I haven't decided what to do but I think that is very likely

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I agree with Cheesoid, though I'm not selling before GW34. Definitely selling when I WC later.

    3. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Could be out of europa by GW34...

    4. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coming out of the international break there was a huge bandwagon here to get him in. I waited one week and then brought him in. Past two weeks got nothing but blanks, what a crock. I shipped him this week as part of my wildcard. Not worth the risk for the price. Plus I think his fat armbands are stupid.

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Very stupid fat arms must admit 😆

        1. We Will Klopp you

    Which 3 defenders should i play ?

    A) Baines
    B) Gibson
    C)Holgate
    D) Bdavies
    E) Valencia

    Currently thinking of playing A, B and D

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      ACD for me.

    2. GertJan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd play ACD.

      1. Legomane
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Acd

    3. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      ADECB for me

    4. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Everton supporter here and I must say I would not be surprised if we concede this week. Williams a big loss as he organises the whole defense.

      1. Nigawan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I dont see Mu keeping clean sheet against hazzard. HAHAHA. As a man u supporter.

      2. Legomane
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Williams should be back after missing the LEI match...

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Indeed he did, apologies. Then I fancy us this week, though Holgate will probably be looking at 6 points at best.
          Mason ahead of Antonio then

      3. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        you are an Everton supporter and you don't know Williams will be back this week vs Burnley from suspension 🙄

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Being a supporter does not make me a good fantasy manager

  25. Kurtinho
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Just noticed I will be in Hawaii during the lead up to GW36 deadline. My girlfriend will be playing in the waves while I'm furiously tinkering away at my wildcard squad back at the resort... Priorities

    1. Teahupo'o

      Commiserations. Rough one.

      1. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It will be tough 😛

  26. FantasyFreak
    • 14 Years

    Best defender at 4.9?

    Is Baragan a safe choice?

    1. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      PVA if ready..

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      after todays Presser's things will be a little more clearer I think so wait and then make move

  27. smix
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero & Walker to Kane & Gibson or Aguero & Eriksen to Kane & Townsend ?

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tread lightly. This is a no Aguero out zone right now.

    2. smix
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No Kane bit me hard in the games just before he got injured ! Want to get him at all costs this time around !

      1. Legomane
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Likewise. I'm probably going to take an extra hit to take out Sanchez instead and hope that the problems at arsenal last a couple more weeks at least..

    3. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      First choice. The rotation risk around Walker doesn't make him worth that price in my opinion. I'd definitely keep Eriksen for season unless he gets injured. Gibson probably has more of a chance at compound returns versus Townsend.

  28. davies
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton > Hennessey worth -4? (Or play Pickford)

    Would do the exact same transfer next week anyway... (-4 included)

    1. Legomane
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Play Pickford and give yourself the extra week

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Heaton > Hennessey
        Sane > King
        Origi > Ibra

        That's next weeks -8... Just not sure if I should make the keeper switch now or not

        1. Legomane
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Things change. Injuries, suspensions etc may vchange your plans next week. Don't take a preemptive hit for the sake of it. Pick is a good pick this week

          1. davies
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Sensible cheers

            • 9 Years

            0 ITB after those moves btw so would probably have to be done Saturday night

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      if you going to do this next week anyway for -4 for sure then I will do it this week.

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        See above... Thoughts?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          keeper switch now I think

    3. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hennessy looks good for the next 3 weeks so it could easily be profitable.
      Might have done it myself but I'm 0.2m short

  29. fedolefan

    My weekly gripe. Absolutely fear the worst this week.

    Robles

      It's going to be ok.

        1. fedolefan
          • 10 Years

    PVA or Gibson to get in this week ?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wait on PVA news I suppose.
      But I would rather Gibson with the dgw fixtures.

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson nailed fit and has fixtures for dgw
      PVA probably none of those so I went for him 😀

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Haha

      2. Pierce34
        • 8 Years

        That reasoning is positively Wenger-like 😀

      3. Albrightondknight

      I'll be monitoring PVA with a view to get for 34
