Harry Kane blows hot at Wembley, Manchester City hit four at Feyenoord, and the goals continue to follow Liverpool, but they have to settle for a draw with Sevilla.

Here are the notes from a stirring night of Champions League action.

Spurs look right at home

A Harry Kane double and an opening goal from Son Heung-min earned Spurs a thrilling 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund that should, finally, curtail the tiresome talk of a ‘Wembley hoodoo’.

It should also spark a huge wave of interest in Kane ahead of the visit of Swansea City for Saturday’s late kick-off.

So far, the majority of the Fantasy Premier League money has been spent on team-mates Ben Davies and Christian Eriksen, making them Gameweek 5’s top two transfers-in.

But Kane’s form is surely now irresistible.

He’s now scored twice as many goals (four) in five days than Swansea have managed all season – great news for those backing Spurs’ assets at both ends of the pitch.

As a result, the transfer take-up of Kane seems to be gathering momentum, with more than 106,000 managers finding the 12.4 required to secure his services.

For now, rotation is not an issue for such a key player at Spurs, but Mauricio Pochettino could break a few hearts elsewhere.

The form of Son, who has started just one league match this season, caught the eye last night.

For those wishing to read into a manager’s substitutions, both Kane and Son were taken off by Pochettino. That could suggest that the latter will figure in Saturday’s clash.

With Dele Alli surely assured of a start against Swansea as he serves a three-match European ban, the Spurs boss may conceivably manage the minutes of the 25.4%-owned Eriksen. Certainly, while we don’t think his start is under threat, a withdrawal around the 70-minute mark – like he did in the Gameweek 4 clash with Everton – could be on the cards.

The full debut of Serge Aurier, playing at right wing-back, also puts pressure on Kieran Trippier, who has started the last three league matches. He will be expected to retain his start for the Swans’ visit but will clearly be under threat from then on.

Pochettino was certainly pleased with Aurier’s showing.

“He was fantastic. I’m very happy with his performance, he showed real quality.”

But the 8.1% of managers who own Jan Vertonghen should have few worries about their man’s forthcoming domestic involvement – the Belgian was sent off for two yellow card offences last night, meaning he’ll miss Spurs’ September 26 trip to Apoel Nicosia.

That match is bookended by Premier League fixtures at West Ham and Huddersfield Town.

A changing of the Guardiola?

Man City saw off Feyenoord 4-0 with almost embarrassing ease – and with 10 of the team that started against Liverpool on Saturday.

John Stones joined the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the top of the Champions League scoring charts with two of the goals in Holland, and while that will be a temporary issue, some of Pep Guardiola’s players are currently permanent fixtures in the side.

Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, who provided two assists last night, Rotterdam goalscorer Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi have started every match thus far this season.

Kyle Walker provided the assist for Sergio Aguero’s excellent second goal in Holland and has started all but the one match he was banned for following his dismissal against Everton, while the Argentinian striker has still managed 286 minutes despite dropping to the bench at Bournemouth.

The perceived wisdom is that Man City assets can’t be trusted to produce for their premium prices because of Pep’s lust for tinkering.

As a result, only four of them are currently owned by 10% or more of FPL managers, whereas Man United, Spurs and Chelsea all have six players in that category.

But there seems to be a core group of players for whom pitch-time is perhaps less of an issue than we might have bargained for.

Rotation, for the top sides, is a matter of course – particularly when the triple whammy of domestic duties, a busy European programme and international call-ups is in play during the early months of the season.

Based on the evidence so far, Man City players are no more, or less, susceptible to this as stars from any other major team.

And Guardiola’s men are increasingly in the richest of form. Unbeaten in five straight matches in all competitions, they’ve dropped points in only one fixture (when reduced to ten men), kept three clean sheets and scored nine goals, without reply, in the last five days alone.

Their next six fixtures include a Gameweek 7 trip to Chelsea. Other than that, it’s wat CRY STO BUR wba – the sort of run likely to increase momentum, not stall it.

Guardiola has already shown a capacity for compromise this campaign, starting both Jesus and Aguero in four of the five matches to date.

The pair have responded with 23 and 21 points respectively, and both were on the scoresheet again in Holland last night.

Not entirely merry across the Mersey

There seem to be two things we can rely on when watching Liverpool so far – Jurgen Klopp will go ballistic on the sidelines every now and then and there will be goals.

Aside from the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, every other match has produced at least four, with the Reds’ 2-2 draw against Sevilla last night another case in point.

Whether the three-match domestic ban for Sadio Mane changes all that remains to be seen.

He played the majority of the match against the Spaniards and the two obvious contenders for his Premier League place, Philippe Coutinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, were given little time to make their respective cases as a result.

Coutinho’s 15-minute cameo merely served to show how rusty spending the summer attempting to move to Barcelona can make you, while Oxlade-Chamberlain’s 89th minute introduction was good for the appearance bonus alone.

Goalscorers Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah again impressed, although the former blotted his copybook by missing a penalty that could put his spot-kick duties in jeopardy.

With skipper Jordan Henderson potentially in the mix to assume that role, it remains to be seen if Firmino surrenders responsibility following Wednesday’s failure. As the second most owned forward in FPL, it would come as a major blow to his Fantasy stock should that be the case.

In defence, Liverpool were the wrong side of generous once again.

Statistically strong but dreadfully prone to individual error, Dejan Lovren made a horrible mess of a regulation clearance to gift Sevilla the lead. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez’s late dismissal for a second yellow card could have a major impact on the Fantasy charms of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The two young right-backs have alternated starts in the league thus far, with Alexander-Arnold rested last night presumably in preparation for Saturday’s visit by Burnley.

His 4.5 price tag, 2.2% ownership and share of set-piece duties all make the defender an attractive, if risky, proposition for the Reds’ relatively kindly short-term schedule of BUR, lei, new.

But with Gomez now suspended for Liverpool’s second Champions League group match – a long and arduous trip to Spartak Moscow on September 26 – the chances of Alexander-Arnold starting the domestic matches either side of that European encounter now look decidedly slim.

Alberto Moreno, on the opposite flank, had a superb match going forward against Sevilla, capping it with an assist for Firmino’s leveler.

He, too, costs 4.5 and is minimally owned. But having started four of the Reds’ last five matches, he will also struggle to feature in all three of the Leicester/Spartak Moscow/Newcastle matches that precede October’s second international break.

Andrew Robertson could be another to get the nod against Burnley in Gameweek 5.

    GTG?

    Elliot
    Dawson Davies Yoshida
    Willian Ritchie Eriksen Alli(C)
    Benteke Jesus Lukaku(V)

    Forster T.Carroll Mee Hunemeier

    1. Mayo for Sam
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nice team. Alli cap could be a punt but have potential to haul. Lukaku the safer option

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I think. I don't see any transfer that warrants doing over saving.

    3. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No kane, id get him in, a disaster, absolute worst scenario for Kane this weekend is the 1 goal 6 points. He's hauling again

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Think I'll get Kane when I WC. I hope Alli/Eriksen do their duty and get points.

  2. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On a Wc:

    Elliot
    BDavies Jones 4.8 Kola
    Eriksen Pogba Ramsey
    Firmino Kaku Kane

    Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    1) Naughton
    2) Simpson
    3) Clark ( doubles with Elliot though)
    4) Foster to Krul and get Cedric

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pogba's injured, which will probably influence that choice.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry its Miki to Pogbas place

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Depends how you'll play defenders. Assuming above is core and you'll be rotating 4.8 with Carroll/Chalobah I wouldn't get Naughton (another swa). Clark probably slots in best for longer (eg. gw5, 9, 14) but fair argument for any really.

  3. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A lot of people flocking to get Mkhi in.
    Are you not concerned about:

    Potential rotation (played a lot of minutes thus far)
    Fixtures - these turn quite soon and are really quite horrible
    Jose - Utd surely are going to start grinding out 1-0s very soon in true Mourinho style

    I think I'll be looking at Salah as my Pog replacement

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I've had Mkhi from the start and don't imagine I'll own him long term. I can take the money and points and run.

      1. Four Letter Wirtz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Similar here. Was always going to wildcard after GW7, and Mkhi's a good way to park 8.x millions in the meantime.

    2. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes,
      Only nailed players in PL for Utd are;

      De Gea
      Bailly
      Matic
      Pogba
      Lukaku
      ...and maybe Valencia

    3. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Couldn't agree more, micky wasnt going anywhere near my team once pogba got injured. It was between Silva, Mahrez and Antonio, i made the decision to take a punt on Mahrez, hope it's the right one.

    4. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      have had Mkhi since the start, and yes -- i am concerned. i am already scouting out replacments.
      GW 8 would be an ideal time to transfer him out.

      am keeping this week (other things to do), but i would not be surprised by either a non-start or a 2 pointer.

  4. kfreeman93
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Elliot Gomes
    Maguire Cedric Kolasinac Davies Tuanzebe
    Salah Ritchie Gross Alli Carroll
    Jesus Lukaku Vardy

    I was fairly confident keeping Lukaku as he's my only United cover and I've 2 spurs already, but now concerned about ignoring Kane. On WC thoughts appreciated 🙂

    1. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      After Dortmund, get Kane

      1. kfreeman93
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Binning Lukaku for Kane not a bit mad? Should I look to get Mkhitaryan in as cover?

  5. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Mane suspension and Pogba injury perfect for my gw8 wc planning

  6. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Can a few more people transfer out Mee so I can get him in at 4.4.

    Cheers

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years

      That would be nice.

    Just listening to the Scoutcast and I think Scoutcast panel are quite hard on you Mark.
    Nothing wrong getting rid of players like Dann, Hegazi, Fraser, Long, Abraham, Bertrand among others.
    Now great team for many weeks to come.
    It just takes a champion to understand it!
    Have a great gw5!

    1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Made for good viewing though!

      1. Sir Edo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Probably, I'm about to continue listening now.. 😉

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nah I think it was good, I definitely wanted to see how he justified some (in my opinion questionable) decisions.

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Still can't believe the TAA pick. I got rid of him on my WC and he transferred him in. Now that Gomez red last night really must add to the headache :/

  8. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    De Gea (Elliott)
    Bertrand Kolasinac Dawson (Suttner Long)
    Eriksen Salah Tadic Atsu (Carroll)
    (K)ane Kaku Mounie

    No FTs, 0.9itb

    Any work need to be urgently done?

    1. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Get rid of Tadic.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        True, just nothing in his price range that deserves a hit though, he'll eventually go in a big reshuffle

  9. FPLord
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best 4.5 defender to get in for the next 2 GWs.
    Currently on Clark. Is a punt on Moreno/TAA too risky?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Simpson?

      1. FPLord
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        can't see them keeping a CS against Pool in GW6

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

    On a Wc:

    Elliot

    1) Naughton

    Beat the KneeJerkers XI, GW4 score and squad for GW5

    GW4 saw many a wildcarder or hit-taker rub their hands, only to walk away pointless and dejected. The final score for our Kneejerkers XI was massively in the wrong direction: The eleven most transferred-in players managed to accumulate 21 points, with only Morata (6) and Pogba (5) giving any decent return for their owners. This is now the second week in a row that popular transfer targets have disappointed.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/4112369/event/4

    On the positive side, only a single manager contrived to score less than our KneejerkersXI (yes, he was on a wildcard!), and so 80-odd managers survive to the next round. The lineup for GW5 features quite a few heavy hitters, undoubtedly financed by the Mané firesale. But chief threat must surely go to "captain" Davies, who may well get points at both ends of the pitch.
    Lineup for GW5:

    Elliot (59)
    Davies (C, 214), Kiko Femenía (52), Clark (41)
    Eriksen (VC, 180), Doucouré (146), Choupo-Moting (136), Mkhitaryan (124), Salah (103)
    Morata (118), Kane (106)
    Bench: Lössl (37), Welbeck* (56), Gamez (36), Hegazi (36)
    [*jumps ahead of Jesus (95) and Firmino (87) due to lack of $$$]

    https://snag.gy/fKeJ5h.jpg

    What do you think? Will cuadruple Spurs vs Swansea rack up the points?

  12. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Please help:
    Elliott (Foster)
    Alonso, Jones, Hegazi (Mbemba, Long)
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Carroll (Cork) Kane, Lukaku, Chica

    A. Chica + Long --> Joselu + Bavies + 0,1m itb (free)
    B. Chica + Mkhi + Hegazi --> Firmino + Groß + Bavies + 0,5m itb (-4)
    C. Chica + Mkhi + Alonso --> de Jesus + Groß + Bavies + 1,0m itb (-4)

    Thanks, sorry repost.

    See anything glaringly wrong with this team?

    Foster
    Davies - Suttner - Daniels
    Eriksen - Salah - Mkhitaryan - Atsu
    Kane - Jesus - Firmino

    Elliot - Carroll - Naughton - Long

    1. bojack
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No it's stronger than Brock Lesnar on steroids.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks great for this weekend. I think the jury is out on Foster vs Elliot this week but at least that won't be where the big points come from.

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      -4 for this right?

    4. Meppelfield
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Love the jesus selection, you actually went ahead and ditched kaku to get in jesus and davies?!

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

      Not worried about Atsu?

      Very similar team to mine!

    6. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Excellent team.. well.done on losing Lukaku. I have 2FT and thinking of doing the same.

      How's it feel?

    7. Deus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Andy, I have a very similar team to you, basically the same midfield. I ditched Lukaku last game week together with Gayle for Morata and Firmino. So I can tell you that this move is strong because 2 good strikers are better than one!
      Davies is a great pick, I have Kolasinac though!
      Very solid team.

    8. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Naughton poor imo better options out there and Swansea concede chances like crazy...

  14. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best move here?

    A Morata + Pogba > Kane + 5.9 (-4)
    B Alonso + Pogba > Davies + Alli (-4) have Eriksen
    C Pogba to Silva (No hit)

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say A with Ritchie

    2. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why would you consider getting rid of Morata?

      C imo

  15. DaddyPig
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who should be the 3rd striker in this squad please??

    Foster Elliot
    Davies Jones Evans Mee Hune
    Eriksen Salah Gross C'Moting Atsu
    Kane Lukaku *******?

    A) Firmino
    B) Vardy

    Thanks!!

      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I've gone B, just to be different (plus wc in hand to fix if need be)
      Firmino a potential rotation risk possibly?? 'Pool fans will know better, but I wouldn't be surprised if Origi or Sturridge started this weekend.

      1. Dybala10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Origi has joined Wolfsburg.

        1. Mattias
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          shows how much I pay attention!

  16. DiMatteoBandwagon
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I need a mid under 5M. Not that a defensive mid. is a good idea but shots on target since start of season:

    Salah - 9
    Mane - 7
    Eriksen - 6
    Pogba - 5
    Fernandinho - 4 🙂

    1. bojack
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Chalobah

      1. DiMatteoBandwagon
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Watford have City, Arsenal, Chelse in the next 5...i mean neither are great options - just saying

  17. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    "Callum isn't close, not yet," he confirmed.
    "But he's looking good, we haven't seen him back in training yet so there's still a way to go.
    "We want to ensure Callum returns in the best possible condition.
    "Elsewhere in the squad, there's nothing new that's a major concern."

    Surely and hopefully Fraser starts this week. Happy I dont have to take a hit to take him out.

  18. rnrd
    • 11 Years

    Is Phil JOnes Nailed in your opinion or are we going to see some rotation with lindelof / smalling ?

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He's nailed for this weekend indefinitely.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, completely nailed on

  19. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Decided I fancy a hit for Davies. Bertrand out or Dawson out? Kolasinac is my other defender who's any good.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Flip a coin on those two. Probably Bertrand

  20. Afghanistanislas
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How likely is Mendy to be rested this weekend?

    1. rnrd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      not likely imo

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        His final ball is so good, hard to drop

  21. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How likely will these lot start?
    A. Pva
    B. Stephens
    C.RLC

      Hegazi's days are over, might get one more game out of him but you'll need to transfer him out.

      1. Rajveer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ya I have naughton in my bench..I will save the ft and then look to ship him out the next week

          Why Naughton? What made you go for him?

          1. Rajveer
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Swan's fixtures and watching him play as a wing back...and 4.5 seemed decent value...

              8 years, 10 months ago

              I see! I wouldn't pick him for his defensive qualities as Swansea won't keep many CS imo as they are the worse in the League for giving chances in the box.

              The fixtures may be decent but the team isn't lol

    What do you make of this:

    Elliot
    Kolasinac Jones Cedric
    Eriksen Alli Antonio Brady
    Lukaku(c) Morata Firmino

    Foster Löwe Carroll 4.0

    0.2 in the kitty, 0FTs.

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty good. Going without Kane with that run could lead to a very Season 4 Bojack

      1. bojack
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I know, although I'd hope it doesn't result in a daughter I didn't know I had 😀

        Don't want to take a hit like.

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Ssshhhhh I've only seen the first two episodes. Moderating those gratifications

          But yeah I knew about the daughter, the dragonfly episode was so eery

    2. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years

      Nice, behind the settee for the Spurs match of course

    3. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Very well thought out team

      1. bojack
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        *blushes*

    4. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not too dissimilar to mine. I think I'm going to punt on Antonio too.

    How was coutinho welcome by anfield yesterday?
    did he play well?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Welcomed by the crowd well

      He looked good-ish, not quite fully sharp but made some runs, attempted a few decent assists but didn't quite get it right.

      Should get up to scratch soon

      1. rnrd
        • 11 Years

        thanks !

        did Salah look fit?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Yup!

      Played ok, welcomed like he never wanted to leave

    I find my self in the frankly surprising territory of a 6.6k rank whilst having 2 FT's and 2.4m ITB! Terrified now of making a mistake!

    I planned Bertrand>Davies this week, however I have the exact money for Pogba>Hazard for some Chelsea cover too but am 0.2m short of doing both? Or get a Spurs mid for the fixtures?

    Foster
    Bertrand Bailly Kolasanic
    Brady Pogba Mkhi Gross
    Kane(c) Jesus Firmino

    Myhill Carroll Suttner Long

    1. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I can see the merit of both options, but Davies has Swansea while Hazard has Arsenal.

      How about burning the second transfer on a Spurs mid? Would give you more time to ponder Hazard vs Morata.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I think that's the way I'm leaning. Eriksen or Alli hmm. Or even a Fellaini punt! 🙂

  28. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Gamez + Ritchie/Richarlison/Jese

    B) Simpson/Lowe + Choupo Moting

    C) Keane + Chalobah

  29. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Have started considering the rather ballsy move of

    Lukaku + Kolasinac -----> Kane + Davies

    Have exact money to do it. Could pay off big time or make my life a misery

    1. QPRUTD
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Free?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah

    2. rnrd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think it is worth it tbh

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      maybe good for this week, but Kola could haul big time after this week

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'm worried about. Davies' stats just off the charts though

    4. bojack
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't lose Kolasinac although this weekend's fixture will probably be leave him on negative points.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He does have great fixtures and looks a beast, but Davies at a cheaper price with equally good fixtures might be the way to go...

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

      I would do it. Arsenal aren't likely to keep many cleanies, Jermaine almost got one past too

      Plus you get Kane

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How about Lukaku though? Madness to get rid and keep Aguero instead?

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Does the move work with Aguero out too?

          Aguero is explosive, Kaku is less so

    6. Deus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like the move

  30. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pogba to Silva or Son?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Have Alli but no City cover
