Best set-pieces and penalty takers for World Cup Fantasy semi-finals

We are down to just four teams left at the World Cup, with set-pieces and penalties still expected to have a big impact on the outcome of the remaining matches.

Once again, we’ve pulled together all the relevant data so Fantasy Football Scout members can work out which nations are the best to invest in for the semi-finals and final.

It still looks like England are the most likely to score from set-piece situations in the last-four, while France could get some joy against Belgium.

READ NEXT: Our transfer tips and stats for the World Cup Fantasy semi-finals

Our research includes the penalty and corner-takers for each country, based on who has taken them either in Russia or, in some cases, in qualification. If there is no number next to a player’s name it’s because they took at least one in qualifying and/or warm-up games but are yet to take one at the World Cup itself.

We’ve also calculated which teams concede the most fouls and attempts from set-plays too to help you work out which nations are the most likely to get set-pieces in the first place.

To clarify, the ‘Attempts from set plays’ section combines those who have shot from direct free-kicks or those who have latched onto the end of a corner.

The deadline for Gameround 6 is at 19:00 BST on Tuesday July 10, so make sure you sort your team in time.

World Cup Data

We’re delighted to offer World Cup data as an early addition to our regular season offering to help those playing Fantasy games over the summer.

We’ve secured Opta data, not only for the tournament itself, but also from the Qualifying Rounds for Europe and South America and for international friendlies involving the participating nations. This includes all the matches played right up to the tournament kick-off.

Just to stress, this World Cup offering comes packaged with the regular Fantasy Football Scout membership.

    Morning.My attacking trio is Mandzu - Harry - Kaku

    a) Keep 'em
    b) Oust one for Griez the Man,who?

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't use a transfer to get rid of a playing player. Are you on WC? If not, can you really spare one? I have seven players out so I need all five!

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        yep,using my wc.

        1. Make Arrows Green Again

          Oooh, well, haven't yet worked out how many you'd need to shepherd through to the final but Manz hasn't done much, and England are possibly slight favourites, so I'd probably hook him for Griez.

          1. Azathoth

            that's the one i was thinking too.....thanx mate.

    RMT

    Pope
    Davies Coleman Alexander-Arnold
    Salah Sanè Eriksen Walcott Milivojevic
    Firmino Zaha

    (Hamer, Tomkins, Schelotto, Quaner)

    Hows it look

  4. Roys Peak

    RMT/10?
    Pickford/Norris
    Davies Alonso Bailly/Ogbonna Batth
    Deulofeu Pogba Salaha DSilva Ramsey
    Niasse Aguero/Kamara
    cheers

    1. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't have both Davies and alonso because there's incredible value in defence this season so pick one of the two if you must. Also ni niasse likely to come off the bench throughout the season. Overall 5\10

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I hear that said, but the top 10 defenders last season all came from the Big 6. Will be same again this season.

        A problem with this draft is the 2 weak strikers. you've got a rigid 3-5-2 line up with nothing on the bench to cover non-starters.

        1. child of God
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah i agree bt you really just need two premium imo, you also need to look for value in the lesser sides coz at the end of the day it the points I get after spending less that counts

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Well my point is if you go for premium defenders the points are secure; if you go cheaper you're relying on luck and will prolly need to make frequent transfers to jump on the weekly bandwagons. I prefer to lock and load my keeper/defence and use transfers further up the park.

            1. salazar1963
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Is there a better defender than Mendy?

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

        Where is the "incredible value in defense"?

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

    Who would you captain tonight, Hazard, KDB or Mbappe?
    Or none of them and a either Pavard or Varane???

    1. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I reckon KDB, but any of the first 3 are good. Don’t fancy a clean sheet either way tonight.

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

        Had it on KDB to start with but thinking it maybe Hazard’s turn to get some more points!

        Cheers

    2. A19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard, on set pieces and looked really dangerous against Brazil

  6. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How is that look?

    Ederson | Speroni
    Alosno | Robertson | Cedric | Daniels | Schelotto
    Mane | Eriksen | Silva | Deulofeu | Masuaku
    Aguero | Firmino | Zaha

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      get Salah and sleep at night.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        ...and get ManU def cover.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mane and Firmino but no Salah?
      Chelsea are all at sea at the mo - like Christina says, a United defender would be more secure - Bailly, Jones, Lindelhof - I'm waiting to see which one emerges.

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Why not Smalling?

  7. ladbaby
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    is pavard nailed on?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      played 4 important games and rested for one along with big names..

  8. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Best mid for 8.4 in WC??

  9. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    This world cup been a tremendous advert for the premier league, hopefully the success of all the premier players will help to attract a few big names in this season. Although most of them already seem to be here.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Well to attract the very best you need to win trophies, pay big wages and play attractive football.

      Only Manchester City can offer all 3.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        That was true of last season, might not be so this one

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Liverpool were one twisted arm and a dazed goalkeeper away.

  10. gattis
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku & Lingard or
    Mbape & Pogba?

    Beleiving France will qualify... barely managing to have 11 players...

    1. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The latter

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Doesn’t really matter who qualifies now. Everyone will still get two more games.

      1. child of God
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I wouldn't be too sure about that, losing teams will almost surely rotate heavily for 3rd place game

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Rotation yeah but they’re not going to field a whole new eleven. Most of those starting now will still get minutes.

          1. Ron_Swanson
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I could see there being whole new 11s

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I mean, someone’s already said that of the last two third place playoff games, only Brazil made major changes, and they’d just been leathered 7-1. But you think the two participants this time will put entirely new teams out?

              What would be the point?

  11. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    a)Baines/Coleman + 5.5m milf
    b)4.5m + 6.5m milf

    ?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A with Colemam and Neves or Cairney

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

      Some good 6.5m mids out there like Jota, Sessegnon etc hmm.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Walcott, Mili are better

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        way to expnsive for players not proven in PL.

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

          Jota oop. 😮

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I don;t care what he is, he still plays for Wolves. They have never been prolific in PL and won;t be this year.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Never had big money behind them before. I'm quite excited by what I'm reading about Douglas and Jota. Both mid-priced, so will need to convince me pre-season, but I'm not averse.

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Maybe, I will gladly swap to them if they prove me wrong and if the fixtures ease up. I think they might surprise Eve in week 1 but then I'm not so sure.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  Their fixtures are fine. Just the 2 Mancs to avoid in the first 10 GWs.

          2. Eden Wizard
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Not true.

  12. Eden Wizard

    Fantasy World Cup is still on? 🙄

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No chance of winning your minileague then? 😉

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Should be sewn up - 25 lead and just brought in the main men

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

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Milivojevic, Tosun
    B) Walcott, Zaha

    If Tosun is on pens, do you think it tips it in A’s favour?..

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeh, marginally. 2 pen takers in A.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        in case you needed help with what a fact looks like.

          Rooney plays in MLS now. And Tosun's on the list, same season as your link

          https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/premiership-set-piece-takers/

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Did he take any penalties in the 17/18 season? Then why is he listed?

            1. rainy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Sigurdsson didn't take any, either. Rooney was taken off pens in March, and Everton weren't awarded any for the rest of the season. None of that says Tosun or Sigurdsson wouldn't have stepped up instead of Baines.

              https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cenk-tosun/elfmetertore/spieler/45671

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Exactly, so the original poster can't say that Tosun is on PKs without it being opinion.

                1. rainy
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  If the Set Pieces page on FFS lists him as being on PKs, can't really fault someone for saying on FFS that he's on PKs 😉

                  1. Eden Wizard
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    He's listed 3rd - Don't play naive here!

  14. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Forgot there's a third place playoff. Are the teams likely to field their best XI in that game?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Usually not, and even if they did it wouldn't be as competitive as the final.

      1. makaveli123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Unlikely to field their first 11, but may be goals
      In it.

    3. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If it's France v Croatia in the final it will give England reserves the chance of revenge against Belgium reserves.

  15. Eden Wizard
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any danger this 4.5 Kamara bloke continues to play opposite Sessegnon?

    This guy is a great example of why Sess is overpriced, Kamara 4.5 attacker, is ROOP and mightn't play. Sess might play LB which, as a 6.0 def would have still kept him relevant and, if OOP on the wing would have had him competing with Mendy/Robbo for a premium def spot. Just my two cents!

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm saying - Money and position can be inversely proportional.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      ROOP or POO? Same same but different.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Haha i thought writing POO in my post could undermine it...

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

        but still same...

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

      By the time the season comes around Fulham will have signed a left back and Sessegnon will be back to left wing. He’s too important to them.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed but, my point is he's WAY overpriced, 6.0 def or 5.0 mid IMO

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          5.5m def or 6m milf would have been fine.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Wrong way round.
            If he was going to be OOP as a def he would be more costly.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah, but no way will a fulham def cost 6m.

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                The logic is there, if OOP he's a premium defender price, if plays left back, still an option (but a costly one).

                As it stands, playing LW he's expensive and LB he's nowhere close to being an option...

    4. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      But the original question was about Kamara lol

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        The only good thing about him is he gave me my team name:

        Kamara Sutra

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          With a bit o' Brighton you could've had

          Kamara Suttner

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I like it!

        2. Mikeharbrw
          • 11 Years

          Haha that's really funny.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        'Fraid I couldn't make much sense of your post, but will Kamara feature once Mitrovic is in the team? I assumed he won't get significant game time.

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He plays right wing....not where Mitro plays

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Oh, interesting. FPL put him as a striker. Well if he's a starter he's on my radar.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              So you mean opposite side to Sessignon, with Johansen and Cairney in the middle?

        2. Eden Wizard
          • 6 Years

          It really doesn't surprise me that you couldn't understand.

    Ederson (Fabianski)
    Vertonghen-Robertson-Coleman (Tomkins-Bednarek)
    KDB-Eriksen-Ramsey-Delofeu (Masuaku)
    Lukaku-Firmino-King

    How to improve??

    1. Goonermeister
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Robertson and Firmino will cover salahs goals with assists I reckon. So safe shout

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If you have Ederson you won't bench him, so downgrade Fab to a 4.0 .
      Vert is still in Russia, he'll need some rest, turn him to Smalling.
      KDB still in Russia too, get Sane.
      Use 0.5 of those profits to make Bednarek a playing 4.5 like Daniels/Cedric.

    So what is the consensus as to how to use transfers for WC?

    A) Load up on the 2 team you think will win the semis and use 5 transfers to bring in players from team you think will win 3rd place

    B) Spread it between 3 or 4 team to hedge your bets

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hedging

  18. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    If you absolutely had to, would you get Chadli or Kanté? I’m 0.1 away from getting Fellaini

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No chance on any of those 3

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I’m not sure we’re at the stage where we can be picky to have a full 15 man squad 😛

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          There's no need for 15 players. I've only got 10 + 5 FTs next round. All my money is invested in heavy hitters who will likely still play in the 3rd place play off

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Fair point. Cheers

              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              It was only in my hour of need (where i started considering Kante') that i realised i should take bench fodder + invest the cash in Modric

            5 years, 10 months ago

            Do you think the heavy hitters will play in the 3/4 place game? I’d expect it to be more a chance to play the rest of the squad.

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I'm not so sure it's an issue because nobody is eliminated so, 5 FTs should cover any 3rd place game changes (bearing in mind we get to see the team sheet)

                Forgottten we’ll see the team sheets, thanks for that.

            2. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              If Kane or Lukaku are chasing the golden boot, you can bet on it!

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              In fact, just gone back and had a look at the last 2 3/4 place playoffs and most teams did put out a fairly strong team. Brazil made quite a few changes last time out, but they’d just been thumped 7-1! Hmmm.

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                I see little logic to rotating, FIFA points on offer, chance of international goals, golden boot/glove etc

  19. Pogboom
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    GTG?

    Subasic
    Pavard - Strinic - Trippier - Hernandez
    Modric - Rakitic - De Bruyne
    Kane - Hazard - Mbappe

    Pickford - Maguire - Lingard - Quintero*

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

    Think I've constructed the best team I've seen on here yet

    Ederson
    Alonso Coleman Valencia
    Salah Eriksen Silva Ramsey
    Deleufeu
    Firmino Zaha

    Speroni Cedric 4.0 Kamara

    Rip it up if you can

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

      Would prefer Valencia downgrade + Firmino to Aguero but personal preference.

    2. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think your strikers will frustrate you very quickly. will be streaks where zaha is great, but also periods where he won't deliver much and will be playing ROOP.

      I'd upgrade Firmino to Auba / Aguero as you have Salah. finance it by an Alonso downgrade as there is too much uncertainty at the moment.

      I'd also be upgrading Kamara but if you are set on 3-5-2 then no need.

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah pretty good to be fair

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      You’re £1.5m short

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

        Lol

    5. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure about Chelsea for now, so Alonso->Smalling+0.5
      Instead of Valencia I'd get Davies (rested) or an ARS def to be ready for gw3
      Pep has said Dilva may play less this season, so Sane instead.
      And you need an 11m forward to make it easier to change in case any of Auba Kun Lukaku explode early.

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A Alonso and Walcott or
    B Mkhitaryian and Coleman

    1. salazar1963

      You can't say

    2. child of God

      B easy

  22. Paddy Gooner
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Captain options today looking like:
    A) Mbappe
    B) Lukaku
    C) KDB

    Any thoughts ?

    1. Pogboom
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I've gone with KDB.

    2. anish10

      I've gone A

  23. Fantasy Gold

    It’s coming home boys

  24. anish10
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Hows this second draft looking, a lot of city and Arsenal players

    Leno Speroni
    Mendy Alonso Bednarek Zanka Long
    Cairney Martial Ramsey Sane Masuaku
    Auba Firmino Aguero

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Martial won't start. From a mufc fan.

  25. Me Spurs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How's this look guys?
    Ederson
    Cedric. Coleman. Taa
    Salah. Mkhi. Silva. Lamela
    Firm. Kun. Tosun

    Bench: speroni. Stephens. Morgan/Tomkins. Wan bisaka

    1. anish10
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      TAA won't start the season, still at WC

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Disagree

        1. anish10
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Whats to disagree, hes still at the WC - playing or not playing he requires a break from the season.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Agreed - i understand 3 weeks is "mandatory" leaving 1 week back with squad. He's not played so we can't know he won't play - after all most people assume Mendy will start (same situation)

          2. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            This. Even if not playing he probably training hard so need a break after WC and Liverpool have few players that can his place in first few games. Not nailed for sure imo

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Not nailed i agree - Just saying after 3 weeks rest....there's a chance

              1. StoichkovFPL
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                There is a chance but very slim imo and you want nailed players in FPL

                1. Eden Wizard
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  Indeed - i'm on Mendy having played 0 football for ~12 months should be ready

                  1. StoichkovFPL
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    Mendy is a no go too imo

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not bad, I like it!
      I prefer Zaha over Tosun but rest very good. Keep an eye on TAA.

    3. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Good team bt I'd replace taa coz Clyne will have had full preseason

    4. Me Spurs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Who would u replace taa with though???

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Downgrade Lamela and get Jones/Baily or other 5.5 not bad picks

        1. Me Spurs
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          United def seems bit of a lottery

        2. Me Spurs
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          If taa doubt to start opening game surely jones would be as well?!

  26. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Guys, Im first in my mini league, 30k overall

    What do you think about my team for the semis:

    Courtois, Subasic
    Vertonghen, Trippier, Jones, Lovren, Meunier
    Pogba, Modric, KDB, Chadli, -
    Rebic, Mbappe, Lukaku

    Maximum captain played, do you think was it better to play it now or wait for the finals?

    1. fenixri
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Very strong with a lead you have. If you can maybe mbappe to griezz

    2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sry its actually Kompany over Jones and Lingard over Chadli.

  27. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Who goes on corners for header in belgium defence?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Kompany!

      1. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Then he is my cpt today. I need to chase lead 🙂

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Do it!

  28. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Lamela nailed with Son out?

    1. Me Spurs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Can see lamela starting at least first couple esp with alli back late

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Lucas Moura there too

    2. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      good shout, i hadn't thought about this.

      lamela / Moura would be nice enablers

    3. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      -----------Llorente or Janssen
      ---------Moura - Eriksen - Lamela
      -------------Sissoko - Winks
      Davies - Sanchez - Wanyama? - Aurier
      --------------------Vorm

  29. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Here's where I am at the moment, any thoughts?

    Ederson

    Coleman / Shaw / Cedric

    Eriksen / Sane / D Silva / Mkhi

    Auba / Firmino / Tosun

    Button / Cairney / Tomkins / Schletto

    - Shaw could be any other 5m defender, just thinking he might start the season
    - Cairney could become 4.5m to allow Mkhi > Ramsey
    - Obvious missing part is Salah. Struggling to get him in without skewing the rest of it.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's easy to get Salah in.

      Really.

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Your def and forward are ok to fit in Salah. Eriksen > Salah by downgrading one of City mids. Done!

    3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      not bad

      Dont like the shaw pick

      Downgrade cairney and upgrade shaw to pva

  30. Eden Wizard
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Who are your top FPL captaincy candidates this season? Will you stray outside the 3 below options?

    1) Mo-No words required.
    2) Harry - Golden boy will want golden boot revenge (after August)!
    3) Kun - Had his best ever PL minutes per goal/assist last season despite rotation.

    1. Zambian FPL Addict
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Salah
      kane
      auba

      Will only captain city striker when 1 is injured
