Watchlist

The Watchlist Updated – Forwards

Our final Watchlist article focuses on the forwards as Fantasy Premier League managers scramble to react to recent injuries and attempt to configure the perfect strikeforce.

The Watchlist can be found in your sidebar on desktop, or via your slide-in menu on mobile or tablet.

These rankings give an indication of our current thinking on player selection for each position, listing the factors that are contributing to the given rank.

Injuries to Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Morata have played a big part in the recent transfer activities of FPL managers, though with Romelu Lukaku proving his fitness in Tuesday’s World Cup Qualifier for Belgium, we can at least be reassured on his Gameweek 8 start.

Harry Kane is also injury-free and, arguably, in the best form of his career.

Granted, his output at Wembley – blanks in all three league outings in front of his own fans – remains a concern, but Kane’s underlying statistics are peerless.

The top forward for shots, efforts in the box and attempts on target, he’s been the go-to striker ahead of a home encounter against Bournemouth – over 339,000 have snapped him up since the previous Gameweek.

Whereas midfield pair Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen have struggled to find the net, notching just twice apiece so far, Kane has scored two goals in three of the last four league matches.

He remains a fixture-proof option ahead of a mixed schedule which involves home clashes with the Cherries, Palace and West Brom, as well as head-to-heads with Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal, in the next six.

Boasting a massive 59.3% ownership, Lukaku has been the most consistent forward this season, netting in all but one of the opening seven Gameweeks.

Given that his highest return on the road is seven points, he looks a less enticing captaincy pick in the short-term, with three road trips – including visits to Liverpool and Chelsea – and a home clash against the Spurs defence to come over the next four.

Lower down our ranks, his team-mate Marcus Rashford has started six of the first seven Gameweeks, serving up two goals and three assists already.

Considering he managed five goals and three assists over the entirety of 2016/17, the starlet’s upturn in output suggests that, despite mainly being utilised off the left flank, he may yet prove a viable third striker option at just 7.6.

Indeed, with 33 points on the board, Rashford is the sixth top forward in terms of value for points per million (4.3) and is owned by just 8.9%. He’s played from start to finish just once as he continue to share pitch-time with Anthony Martial but, given the lack of options in his price bracket, he remains in our thinking.

Gabriel Jesus is second only to Kane for transfers-in over the Gameweek, earning 280,000+ new owners and up to second in our rankings.

Aguero’s likely absence bolsters his potential here. Although Jesus’ time has been managed, it’s no coincidence that his first 90-minute outing arrived in Gameweek 7, with the Argentine injured for the trip to Chelsea.

When on the pitch, the Brazilian has played a part in 45.5% of his side’s goals – more than any other team-mate – as Pep Guardiola’s men prepare for a favourable run of fixtures (STK BUR wba ARS lei hud).

However, we should not dismiss Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane as cheaper short-term alternatives in midfield. Sterling is the top midfielder for goals (five), while Sane has bagged 29 points in his last two at the Etihad.

We also have to carefully monitor Aguero’s injury situation.

Tuesday’s reports confirming that the Argentine had returned to light training indicated that the striker may yet be back in contention sooner than expected. Certainly the Gameweek 11 clash with Arsenal will be an obvious target; it remains to be seen if Guardiola would risk an earlier return. Some reports today even suggested he could be considered against Stoke this weekend.

Rested from international duties as he looks to overcome a hip complaint, Jamie Vardy sits fifth in the forward standings despite a testing start to the season.

The Foxes’ frontman has bagged five goals, netting against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, and also has penalties to strengthen his potential ahead of a run that sees him face only two of last year’s top six in the next 11 Gameweeks.

Between now and Gameweek 18, Vardy will entertain West Brom, Everton, Burnley and Palace and also visit Swansea, Stoke, West Ham, Newcastle and Southampton.

Alexandre Lacazette’s lack of away form is a big concern, given that Arsenal hit the road four times (wat eve mci bur) in the next six Gameweeks.

With a visit from Spurs also on the horizon, this leaves only a Gameweek 10 encounter with Swansea at the Emirates as a stand-out fixture for the Frenchman.

Alexis Sanchez’s return in midfield could also have an impact on Lacazette’s 14.9% ownership if the Chilean rediscovers the form that saw him score 15 of his 24 goals on the road last season.

Roberto Firmino’s stock is in rapid decline after dropping to the bench away to Newcastle. The Brazilian has blanked in four successive outings and with clashes against Man United and Spurs up next, the exodus is picking up pace.

Mo Salah and Philippe Coutinho look better options as routes into Jurgen Klopp’s attack, though Firmino – who also has penalty duties – could yet profit from a kind schedule from Gameweek 10 onwards.

The injury to Sadio Mane adds another variable however. It has been well publicised that Liverpool struggle in attack without the winger’s incisive running, scoring just 1.5 goals a game without the Senegalese, compared with 2.2 goals with him in the line-up.

Further down the price brackets, Joselu and Tammy Abraham are currently our budget frontmen of choice.

Costing just 5.5, the Newcastle striker’s average of 20.8 minutes per attempt is more frequent than premium picks such as Morata (23.4) and almost on a par with Aguero and Lukaku (both 20.3).

Although he only started for the first time in Gameweek 3, the summer signing sits fifth among forwards for shots in the box, while only Kane and Lukaku have bettered his 11 attempts on target.

Boasting two goals in five starts, Joselu has the fixtures to prove value with money – Rafa Benitez’s men face Southampton, Palace, Burnley, Bournemouth, Watford and West Brom over the next seven Gameweeks.

Abraham continues to simmer as an option and typifies our struggle for candidates at this price point.

He could yet be under threat should Paul Clement tweak his formation and tactics but, for now, he looks to remain up front alongside Wilfried Bony, with Jordan Ayew deployed in a support role.

The Swans boast four enticing home fixtures (HUD LEI BRI BOU) and a trip to Burnley in the next six which could see Abraham finally break-out and fulfil his potential as a cut-price asset.

      Training by himself is not the same as training. They'll be looking to avoid any contact. If you were a defender playing against him the first thing you'd do was fire an elbow into his ribs......like Pele in escape to victory!

        When you have 4 other outfielder sin your squad injured, suspended or on holiday.

        He was never going to be anywhere near a 4.5m Siggy.
        These cheap replacements for star players always get bought in heavily and 99% of the time turn out to be worth exactly what you pay for them.

    Fabianski - Elliot

    Kane - Jesus - Vardy

    1. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Very similar to mine, mid and forward line identical but I went Pope for Fab, Azpi for Luiz, Stones for Otamendi and Dunk for Mbemba. 8/10

  4. seewhyaxe

    Oops, wrong thread entry. Anybody thinks this is mad?

    Attempting a different wc team:

    Fabs/Elliot
    Stones/Luiz/Davies/Ward/Clark
    Hazard/Sterling/Coutinho/RLC/Carroll
    Jesus/Kane/Okazaki

    0.6 ITB.

    When Morata is back: Okazaki & Coutinho to 3rd 4.5m mid and Morata for a heavy punt on 3 City & 3 Chelsea players for their fixtures to the end of the year...

    1. lfcserg
      • 11 Years

      Not mad just different.

    2. Fpldonny
      • 7 Years

      Joselu or abraham over ozazaki?

      1. Rossaldinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Joselu

      2. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I thought about that, but I prefer Okaz's fixtures in the short term

      3. Hustlers United
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling - D.Silva

        1. seewhyaxe

          that would be 3 xfers I need to make to bring in Morata though.

    Pop quiz:

    Cédric + Hazard ... or
    Azpilicueta + Coutinho ?

    Thanks in advance for your kind advice.

    1. lfcserg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Maguire + haz

      1. pricycle
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        That's 0.1 too expensive. I also don't think he'll score more points than Cédric - Saints are tight and their fixtures are awesome, non?

        1. kysersosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Leicester are pretty good

    2. Hustlers United
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling - D.Silva
      Okazaki - Joselu/Abraham

      1. Hustlers United
        • 6 Years

        Sorry, wrong post... 🙁

      1. pricycle

        Ta, this combo seems to be winning 2-0 so far

    5. seewhyaxe

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Still going 343, could consider 433, but wouldn't even consider 523 due to flexibility, if the defences stop keeping as many clean sheets, which is likely happen at some point to even things out, you're screwed

    4. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I seem to be going 1 at the back right now. Not through choice..

    5. pricycle
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going with 4-3-3. Can't afford 4 good mids with so much budget spent on the forwards and 4.5m defenders will outscore 4.5m mids.

    6. Sánchez

  12. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero to get a half or 30 mins on Saturday, then will start v Burnley

    I may hold off on getting Jesus tbh - It will cost me -4. I may well roll a transfer and do -4 next week

    GK Foster
    DEF Cedric, Davies, Ward
    MID Salah, Silva, Gross, Ramsey
    FWD Kane(c), Lukaku, Lacazette

    Subs - Elliot, Cresswell, Carroll, 3.9 Defender

    Next week - Lazazette to Aguero, Ramsey to Chuba Moteng, Davies to Luiz

    Exact cash for that.

    What ya reckon?

    1. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years

      Good idea me thinks, same dilema

  13. dmmcclean
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Does anyone else see Batsuayi as a decent third striker option? I feel like he's been overlooked.

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I thought about it and could be a great differential, it's just 1) it's not for long and 2) chat of Hazard up front but surely an idea time to play him.

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Conte doesn’t trust him. Won’t necessarily start

    3. dmmcclean
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah good points. If he does start though he could fill his boots against palace. Guess it's a bit risky.

    4. kenny awesome
      • 6 Years

      i am using it, with vardy and lukaku

  14. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ok screw the midfield, we are playing long ball. What do we think at first attempt WC? Not a season keeper but for a few weeks....

    Elliot/Fabi

    Bellerin/Alonso/Davies/Ward/Mbemba

    Sane/Sterling/Ramsey/Surman/Choupo

    Kane/Vardy/Jesus

    Cheers guys, rip that midfield apart....

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks pretty good.

      Main question is if Sane & Sterling will play as much when Aguero is back.. and that is imminent

    2. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would go Silva instead of Sane....

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yep that's a good idea cheers as that gives me a long term prospect at least, just need to find the extra squid now

    3. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If that's the case, downgrade Ramsey and upgrade Mbemba?

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Great team for this week and maybe next but lots of rotation issues with those 2 city miss and Ramsey is never far away from injury. With that structure of Sane as your most expensive mid it'll be difficult to upgrade to a spurs or liv mid or hazard/Sanchez further down the line

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        *mids

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yep the midfield cost and rotation is the worry, relying on no issues and saving transfers but as we know that's never the case. It's definitely a team for a few weeks and not a season keeper but I need a boost.

          Fair enough, it's all about enjoying the game imo. Good luck!

            Thanks mate

  15. OzilFozzil
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 free transfers thinking of:

    A) Mbemba, Carroll, Firmino > Naughton, Silva, Joselu (-4)
    B) Mbemba, Firmino > Monreal, Vardy

    Leaning on B because I hate taking hits, but I really want some City cover, thought?

  16. Fuddled FC

    Why is is there so little love for Sane ?

    I have both Sterling & Sane atm but there's not a lot to choose between them

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      with Aguero back next week, I wouldnt punt on both of them.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Because he has only played 90 mins once all season.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You could see both players benched when Aguero and Jesus start in a 532. That's the risk.

      Pep sees Sterling as another forward option. Sané is used more sparingly in a wide role.

  17. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    The 5.0 options are mouthwatering atm.
    We will have to decide between:
    Cedric
    Maguire
    Cresswell
    Jones
    and I'm sure, I forgot smn.

    How do you decide?
    Jones will eventually be the man, if not injured but his fixture for the next 4 arent good enough.
    Maguires threat stats arent high enough anymore to give him that edge over Simpson.
    Creswell will split his set piece dutys with Noble and Arnie and didnt get offensive returns before. There defense isnt solid enough.
    Cedric seems finally nailed and has the best fixtures, has VVD next to him, which will make the defense stronger + is still going forward a lot.
    Decision made imo.

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Aye, I'd go Cedric for now - Daniels soon.

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You also have Simpson at 4.5 and the whole Burnley/Newcastle defences

    How are all the early Jesus buyers feeling?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Stop gap for Morata.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      well,it's not as if they hadnt played together before. I'd be more wary with Sterling.

    3. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Really good, thanks for asking!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        😀

    4. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Morata injured.
      Jesus or Lacazette only options.
      Jesus's started 6/7 and 5/6 when aguero is fit.
      Doubt aguero is fit yet.
      Feeling fine

    5. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      On a WC anyway so have flexibility to change but he was only ever keeping Morata's place warm for a couple of games and I don't think that has changed at all with any news today.

    6. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Will feel happy when he gets a second rise and bangs in a hatrick before turning into Lukaku C or Morata next week.

      1. Freddo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Second rise and profit looks to be coming tonight for anyone interested.

  20. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have 5.5 for my third defender slot.

    Currently have Davies, Luiz, xxx, ward, mbemba

    Who would you have in there?

    A. Cedric (5.0)
    B. Monreal (5.5)
    C. VVD (5.4)
    D. Simpson (4.5)
    E. Maguire (5.1)

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Who's your main GK?

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Fabi/Elliot rotation

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          B

          If I have to pick a SOU def, it'll be Cedric.
          If I have to pick a LEI def, it'll be Maguire.

    2. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Stones maybe, for short term

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B). No question, for me. GW 10.

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He is in atm but fixtures aren’t THAT great and soon turn nasty

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Swap him out AFTER GW 10. 🙂

      2. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        wouldnt you rather Cedric for the next 4? I see one to two ARS CS in the next 5

    4. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      look above

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I tend to agree. Jones not at risk of being bench at some point, maybe when fixtures get easier for Lind?

    5. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I fancy Van Dijk and then jump onto Daniels week 12.

  21. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Why would hazard not play when Morata is out? Especially after bagging a brace

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He hasn't scored or assisted in the EPL all season.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He was injured until the 2nd week of September

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Whoosh.

  22. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure if this has been posted already, mentions Rose aiming at a GW12 return date. Bavies owners should be fine for a few more weeks at least.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      GW 2016/17?

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Sissoko could always fill in at wingback again 😀

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      good to see. especially as a salah owner

    4. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Relax, got a friend who's a Spurs season ticket holder, ear to the ground, knows a few people, Rose will be sold for his outburst as they want a stable dressing room.

      1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I was never particularly worried myself, have had him since GW1 and haven't considered moving him on.

  23. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which one?

    a) Cedric & Coutinho
    b) Otamendi & Sane

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B but not sure about Sane over Sterling/Silva

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A

  24. luke25
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have been a team mate of Daniel Sturridge, Mark Viduka, Steve Mandanda, Ravel Morrison & Jon Flanagan. Who am I?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Luke25

    2. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You are Luke25

      Too easy bro

      1. Brap.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry I'm late

        Has the party started already?

        1. Brap.
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Anyway it's Stewart Downing. Wait, Mandanda? Errrrr

          1. luke25
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Nope

    3. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      benteke

      1. luke25
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not Benteke, good guess though

    4. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Scotty carson

      1. luke25
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not Carson

    5. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Errr….Boudewijn Zenden…err….never a teammate of Ravel though

    6. Doylaz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Joey Barton

      1. luke25
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Correct!

  25. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    From GW9 onwards, which combo would you prefer?
    A) Vardy + Tom Carroll/RLC (4th mid)
    B) Joselu + Choupo-Moting

  26. GST
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hi folks,

    Is Salah & Kaku > Haz & Jesus (-4) too sideways ???

    Hard to ignore their fixtures.

    Thoughts welcome.

  27. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    why get Maguire when Simpson is cheaper?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bigger attacking threat from set pieces

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      come on, you're better than that

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        but he's spot on. The price difference doesnt repay the output and threat

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          is this a stats thing, if so 0.6mil extra for 2ppg extra seems a pretty sweet deal. you only need to watch 1 leicester game (or england game now) to see why.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Attacking threat and BPS.

    4. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Goal innit

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Massive difference in points potential, imo.

    6. Swanremainsthesame
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bcos a defender who has scored a rare goal is obviously going to score another 10 this season.
      Happens every time.

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        hardly rare. to put this into context maguire more attacking points in the past 12 months than simpson has got in 8 years

  28. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    How is this as WC squad only going 2 big strikers? Did have Jesus Vardy and Hazard in midfield in earlier WC but concerned about Jesus game time with Napoli next week, Hazard a lot of cash which could be spread out better in mid field and defence. Joselu and Ward rotate pretty well but Abraham other option.

    Fabianski
    Alonso Cedric Davies Ward
    Eriksen Sterling Fabregas Richarlison
    Kane Lukaku

    Elliot Joselu Wimmer RLC

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      When do you plan to play Joselu?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Next week, as a guess.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Home games such as CP week 9, Bournemouth week 11, Watford game 13.

        Who do you think is better option?

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          In place of who? That is when Wimmer has nice fixtures which I imagine is why you have him.

          1. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Ward who has City and Southampton away

            1. CloudSky
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              So
              Alonso, Davies, Cedric, Wimmer
              Eriksen, Sterling, Fab, Rich
              Kane, Kaku, Joselu

              Who misses out, out of those?

      3. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        When I play Atsu

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think Fab is nailed?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Will see what Conte says at press conference but if Kante out for a while I think he will be nailed

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          but playing deeper, which hasnt hinderd him admitteldy, but that was down to Costas preference to score goals from balls over the back 4

  29. Yozzer

        Maybe I should post it 100 times instead 😉

  30. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone really think Agiero will play just based on what Aguero said? He conned people into captaining him right before he got benched with his Twitter comments a few weeks ago.
    Dont see him starting next week let alone this

    1. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think hes going to put people off buying Jesus who will go on to haul and make people cry as a result.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Good 😀
