The ScoutCast quintet take on established Fantasy thinking in this latest episode, as we debate the quest to smash the current template squad.

What is the template? How can we break it? Should we even bother?

The discussion that unfolds is predictably sprawling and often heated, as once again the conflicting philosophies on Fantasy management in the ScoutCast crew are laid bare.

Elsewhere we let the rest of your community questions steer the conversation, as we contemplate Sanchez at United, battle Firmino vs Aguero and even find time to check in on Stoke.

Try as we might, even we struggle to argue about Stoke.

By the way, off the air we carried on the debate and, in the end, everyone agreed that I was right and that I also had the best beard.

    Who's likely to score more points this gw?

    A) Mahrez
    B) Arnie

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Arnie

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I looking at getting both.

  3. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years

    Hazard to who
    Mahrez or pogba.

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

      KDB if you don’t have bur Mahrez from these 2

      1. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years

      Mahrez form and fixtures

      1. Like an Egyptian Magician
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This

  4. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Best mid upto 7m (already have arnie)

    A: Richarlison (got a feeling he will convert his chances, focal point at wat)
    B: lingard (great form, tough fixtures, good stats but never fully nailed on. only takes one bad game to loose his place)
    C: Ramsey (will have a look today if he plays, good fixtures)
    D: Lanzini (double up on west ham for next four weeks?)
    E: Someone else?

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      D then A

      I still have Richarlison I pray weekly for him, one day he will return

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Amen

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Please be serious. Rich has 7% conversion rate and 14 shots on target all season and last 10 weeks he's hitting the target once every 2 and a half games. I swear he's wearing clown shoes

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly Ramsey but personally held on to Richarlison for now as feel he will get good score in next couple of games

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        would choose ramsey but might have gametime risk with xhaka and wilshire as options in the middle..what do u think

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

          Personally think Ramsey nailed on to play

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      B but we have transfers if it fails

    5. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lanzini or maybe Albrighton, if you don't have any Leicester forwards

    6. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ox!

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        already have three liverpool so ox not an option

    7. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Seems like its either lanzini or richarlison

  5. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    This Joao Mario rumour continuing to run (to west ham).
    Can anyone give me the low down? Know nothing bar that he was linked to Man Utd a while back.

    1. Fudge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      oi oi! Getting sucked in are we 😉

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Haha! Yes - but need something to chew on.

  6. BENFICA É MERDA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Pope
    Ota Jones Christiansen
    Son-Sterling-Salah-Arnauto-Lingard
    Kane(c)-Aguero

    Ogbonna-Crouch-Duffy

    G2G?

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Fudge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I personally think Ogbonna will score more points than Lingard

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Lingard 50pts last 5 away and Bournemouth West Ham few weeks ago 3-3 and Wilson best forward stats after Kane last 4 weeks

        1. Fudge
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Touché.

  7. Fudge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Evening all, I think I should play Kenny over Masuaku but what about transfers with 2FT

    Adrian (Elliot)
    Otamendi Jones Christensen Masuaku (Kenny)
    Salah Sterling Son Arnautovic (RLC)
    Kane Firmino (Depoitre)

    2FT, 2.3mill in the bank..

    A) Masuaku + Depoitre -> Alonso + Mcburnie/Quaner/Cheap
    B) Son -> KDB
    C) Otamendi, Son, Depoitre -> Stones, 4.8, Aguero
    D) Other, or let 2FT pass over?

    1. Fudge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      also E) could just do Christensen -> Alonso

      but with Christensen rest I feel like he's going to play the next few. Alonso is still worth getting mind.

    2. Lee8686
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth losing the free transfer but your team looks pretty decent

      Maybe just change Elliot for a better option to rotate with Adrian (Pickford maybe?)

      Elliot seems out of favour again

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      RLC>Lingard and go 3-5-2

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Actually a solid point. Either upgrade depoitre to Wilson or RLC to albrighton/lingard

  8. Lee8686
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Trying to work out a way of getting Salah in...looking at one of the below

    A) Vertonghan & Son > Salah & 3.9m

    B) Vertonghan, Son & GroB > Maguire, Salah and McArthur (-4)

    2FT & 0.0m ITB

    Pickford
    Alonso, Otamendi, Vertonghan* Masuaku
    Son* Sterling, Lingard, Arnautovic
    Kane(c) Aguero

    Adrian, GroB, Mee, DCL

    Any help appreciated

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I’d get rid of the overpriced Argentine up front....

      It must hurt getting rid of an in form Son

      1. Lee8686
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        deffo overpriced but Newcastle are garbage so don't want to lose him this week

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Newcastle are garbage? They don't concede many when Lascelles plays

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      a

  9. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Captains:
    A) Kane needs 2 goals to reach 100 in PL, and we've seen how much targets like this one motivate him.
    B) Salah is the top FPL player this year, with great consistency.

    I had my C on Salah but since I heard about Kane's 100 goals target I have lots of second thoughts.

    What's your opinion?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane C same as last week. Would've had 2 this game last season if VVD hadn't kicked the turf up in front of PK spot

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I remember that match, and that miss.. he was my captain..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      More interested in him missing the game Monday 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Reoccurrence of his niggling hamstring injury?

        Illness from the weekend gotten worse?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Slight cold.

          1. St. Joseph
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Source of him caught in slight cold TM?

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Time to sell

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Nah. His ownership needs to get to 20% before he drops 0.1.

      2. Garth Marenghi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Salah to Ox is probably the ideal move.

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Salah to Lingard?

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently had this illness when playing City so think will be OK for Monday

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Klopp said he was becoming ill, suggesting he was just beginning to get ill on Sunday.

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

      I wouldn't mind if he didn't play. Would take out a lot of C with maybe bad VC choices and would solve my dilemma of bench one of Son Lingard Wilson

    6. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane captain, then.

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

        I would still captain and VC Kane. If Salah is ill then will not play or come on as sub but bigger upside if plays

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Kanes performance after a cold wasn't all that memorable though, not sure id risk the arm band on Salah and risk the same again, Kane for me this week.

    7. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Klopp is probably just giving him a breather. Barring an earthquake or some other force majeure, he will be there on Monday..

  10. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    If you have 2FT going into the week you play your free hit chip do they get wiped or remain once the game week is complete ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yes, only 1 next GW.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Pleased I asked now ! Cheers

    2. Futile Tinkering
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Then the hit is not free after all as u lose 1 FT

  11. Geezer
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance Alonso might go up in price tonight?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Anything is possible. 89.1

      1. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. Think I will wait until tomorrow to decide who I get in for DCL to get the extra 0.1 I need

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not; even though anything is possible as TM says

  12. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    With The Ox going out with Perrie Edwards I'd like to see him do his own rendition of "Shout out to my ex"(Arsenal)

    1. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years

      lol

  13. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A) Dunk > VVD, bench Masuaku
    B) Pope > Pickford
    C) Save

    Pope
    Otamendi/Christensen/Alonso/Masuaku
    Sterling/Arnautovic/Lingard/Salah
    Aguero(C)/Kane(VC)

    Elliot/Depoitre/Dunk/RLC

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A but consider Maguire

    2. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A

  14. Fudge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    William a good differential with Morata out?

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Willian would be great if he didn't constantly get rotated

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth a transfer to me

  15. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Which would you rather do?
    A) Eriksen > Arnautovic (own Kane and Son)
    & Kabasele > Alonso
    (-4)

    B) RLC > Ox
    (no hit)
    Cheers

    1. Splash365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A looks good.....or Eriksen to Mahrez

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A easy

    3. Messsiaah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I've done A
      Eriksen+Christensen -> Arnautovic+Alonso

    4. Gruu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A for sure

    5. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years

      Thanks all!

  16. is this real
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Kane and Rooney (who really needs to go) > Kun and Firmino?

    I was committed to holding Kane because he's so reliable, explosive and nailed on. However I've bottomed out on where to find funds and having thought about how some of the big teams successfully shut Kane down this season (e.g. United, Arsenal), I fear that those 3 tough fixtures coming up will present a challenge. You could argue either way (yes I know Kane scored a hatrick against Soton a few weeks ago and a brace vs Liv), but it seems like a great time to own Kun and Firmino, until Jesus is back at least.

    I have Son who gets all kinds of goals and assists, whereas Kane has 1 assist this season and either kills it or gets locked down entirely through tactical defending. Could Son be worth holding more than Kane in near future rather than the downgrade option?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No way.

    3. is this real
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I should add I’m captaining Salah.

    4. Fudge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I like it, if you ever wanted to not own Kane these upcoming fixtures are surely it?

      1. is this real
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        True, although it’s not that I don’t want Kane, I’m more testing if I’m acting irrationally by not bringing in Aguero who’s fixtures are better and enables me to get Firmino. Kane can score a few against any team, but then again he barely sees the ball in some games

    5. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      For free? Maybe, depends what you think of Rooney's minutes.

      1. is this real
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        For a hit but I’ll be taking hits this and next week anyway to fix 2 issues in my team. V good fixtures for Aguero and Bobby in next two GWs, wouldn’t consider it otherwise.

        Not very confident in Rooney’s minutes but if anyone has insights, happy to hear.

    6. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't he score a brace vs Liverpool?

      1. is this real
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I mention that in the post. The next game is at Anfield though and Liverpool’s defence should be stronger with VVD and better form generally in defence.

  17. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts for next 2 weeks: 1ft
    Fabianski > Pickford (almost certain this week)
    Eriksen > Mahrez (Almost certain this week) -4
    next week
    Son > Sane/Pogba (sane actually low ownership)
    DCL > Wilson (enables 3-5-2. could do both transfers for a hit)

    thoughts?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Don't sell Son.

      1. Fudge
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        why not?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Because his form and price are good.

          1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            true but there is other explosive players available and could be worth a differential to get them in with them having better fixtures. Who would of thought Sane would have been a Differential after his first few weeks Vs WBA at home, not bad I don't think

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Sane hadn't scored in 10 games prior to Pool game. A class act, no doubts, but swimming in the tank with too many attacking fish and not so nailed on. Son prob not so nailed either but scoring a nice few goals and less attacking competition at Spurs.

        2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I think next week will see a lot move away from Son given the fixtures and I like the sane option as a differential given that I have the cash. A lot will look to pogba I think.

    Mids are: Alli - Son - Salah - Arnie - Sterling

    How does Alli -> Mahrez sound for free? Mahrez on 98 on FPL Stats...

      Id keep alli this week

      1. Nerazzuro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You think he is a better shout to grab points this GW?

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years

          Look at Alli's record v Soton. Something like 5 in his last 5

          1. Nerazzuro

      Fpl stats seems a bit off though..but maybe that’s still close enough

  19. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Sell son to ibe to fund firmino or just get wilson?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        Have 2fts

          I like just the Wilson move better still, but it could pay off.

      Do you just have Kane up top currently?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Im in a similar position and looking at just Kane Wilson. Rotating Wilson with 4th defender when needed. Think we've missed the window for Firmino personally

  20. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    How does this look post-Spurs vs SOU and Alexis transfer?

    De Gea (Coleman)
    Alonso Otamendi Jones Robertson (Ogbonna)
    Salah Mahrez Sterling Mkhitaryan Lingard
    Aguero Firmino (Quaner)

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Good but you may have 10 or 11 players not playing in 4 gameweeks time

          Better used in 31 or 35 imo

        1. Rik Waller
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Interesting one. Who would've thought Liverpool away would ever be considered the must bankable clean sheet.

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Certainly not me, and tbf I feel Swansea have more of a chance to get a goal than Newcastle, but hey, wtf do I know 😆

            1. Rik Waller
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Yeh can't understand that one. Bookies got some inside info...

      As always, thank you G

        You're welcome mate!

        I've swapped armbands so many times this week it's ridiculous!
        I've been tempted by Sterling, KDB, Salah, Firmino, Kane and even Jones, Smalling and Alonso ffs 😆

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          That's just 8/11 starting players. Don't think it would make you pull your hairs 😀
          Why are the 3 left behind?

          I will most probably go with Salah. If the inner me decides to go maverick, I'll captain sterling

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years

            Salah(C) Kane (VC) again, no doubt that will change before the deadline lol

    5. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Looks a good week for defense when you have:
      DDG
      Alonso, Ota, TAA
      With Kenny first sub

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pope> Pickford for long term worth - 4 or wait next week n do it for free?

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Worth it. Im looking at the same move for the foreseeable future until WC or even all the way

    2. Nerazzuro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Why not wait?

      1. Yogi_mike
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cause Pope had utd Pickford WBA

        1. Nerazzuro
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Who's your other keeper?

          1. Geezer
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I guess Elliot

              • 9 Years

              Guessed right lol

              1. OO
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                no point changing goalkeepers for a hit, best case scenario you get your points back, but if west brom manage to score you're just behind by 4

  23. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A: Cedric + Lanzini + Mahrez....already have arnie
    B: Stones + Lanzini + Pogba/Silva
    C: Stones + Lingard/Richarlison + Sane

    Rest of defence is Alonso,Jones,Duffy,Gomez

  24. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    To all who got Kun ( me for -4), and also have Kane and Salah... are you captaining Kun?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Captain Aguero, I have Salah but no kane.

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not. Early substitution a possibility

    3. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Imagine a kane blank and captain aguero...
      If I owned Aguero this week he would be my captain no doubt about it. City will be wanting to show a reaction after last week

    4. yanks250125
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      i have kane but no salah. captaining aguero

    5. Superballzzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I’m captaining Kun - I’m without salah but would still captain kun and I am. it’s time for him to hit a hatrick - if he does through low ownership and low on cap poll you could climb high - like always its high stakes and the reverse can happen of course - but you live once.

  25. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    That previous article on Leicester and Mahrez in particular isn't very convincing is it??

    Had planned Son ➡ Mahrez after Southampton. Anyone else with this move planned reconsidering??

    1. Nerazzuro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of doing Alli -> Mahrez now. But I have both Alli and Son...

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I was gonna do Eriksen to Mahrez but now might do Eriksen to pogba instead, just not sure when.

  26. Rabbinton
    • 12 Years

    2 FT: Morata & Lingard > Kun &

    a) Albrighton
    b) Ibe
    c) Wishere

    1. MartialMatas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      B

  27. Superballzzz

    With Moreno back in contention who starts against Swansea ?

    A - Robertson

    B - Moreno

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on Moreno's fitness level, Robertson will probably start

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A, done nothing to deserve to be dropped

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        In fairness the Sevilla match aside, neither has Moreno. Could see it becoming similar to the Gomez / AA situation with one preferred for Europe & cup

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Certainly possible in future but I think for this gw there's no way Robertson gets dropped for a half fit Moreno with the performances he's been putting in

  28. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Been pondering over this all week.

    Vardy + Gross > Wilson + Sane? Have 2 FTs

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like one that could easily come back to bite you in the ass, but could work I suppose

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah it's a tough one. Need to shift Gross but there's nobody I fancy within his price range to do a straight swap with.

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Shaqiri?

          1. COLLIN QUANER
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            0.1 short

    2. yanks250125
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      after this week Gross has 4 nice ones. why lose either Vardy or Gross now? after 28 Gross is certainly gone for the remainder of the season

  29. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Worth a hit to do Niasse ➡ Wilson and play 343 for BOU fixtures (except for CHE game)

    Have Kane and Firmino also.

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on who ya bench in the process
