Griezmann in the Fantasy points again as France reach World Cup final

Samuel Umtiti and Antoine Griezmann were the two players to get attacking Fantasy returns as France booked their place in the World Cup final.

There was also a second successive clean sheet for their defence, so those who invested in their back-line were heavily rewarded.

We’ve got all the goals, assists and Fantasy talking points from match 61 of this World Cup.

FRANCE 1-0 BELGIUM

TOP-SCORING PLAYERS:

  • Samuel Umtiti (£5.9m) – 12 points
  • Hugo Lloris (£5.9m) – 7 points
  • Raphael Varane (£6.1m) – 6 points
  • Lucas Hernandez (£5.0m) – 6 points
  • Benjamin Pavard (£4.5m) – 6 points
  • Antoine Griezmann (£10.1m) – 5 points

Antoine Griezmann (£10.1m) made it three matches in a row with attacking returns on Tuesday night as he assisted France’s winning goal against Belgium.

That was scored by Samuel Umtiti (£5.9m), who headed in the Atletico Madrid man’s corner in the 51st minute.

As expected, this World Cup semi-final was a very close affair, with each side testing the opposing goalkeeper on a number of occasions.

Hugo Lloris (£5.9m) emerged as the winner from the two shot-stoppers as he and his French defence kept the clean sheet, with the Spurs man earning an additional point for saves. Thibaut Courtois (£6.0m) still managed an extra point too, taking his match score to three.

The highly-owned Romelu Lukaku (£10.1m) has now gone three World Cup matches without a goal and is yet to score in the knockout phase of the competition. However, he still has one more match to add to his tally of four – the third/fourth place play-off on Saturday.

Belgium were forced to deploy Nacer Chadli (£6.9m) at right-back with Thomas Meunier (£6.0m) suspended, but the latter is expected to return to the side for Saturday’s match. Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) was positioned as the left full-back, tasked with containing the explosive Kylian Mbappe (£9.2m). Roberto Martinez is likely to revert back to a three-man central defence with Vertonghen, Vincent Kompany (£5.7m) and Toby Alderweireld (£5.8m) retaining their starting berths.

FRANCE XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Hernandez, Umtiti, Varane, Pavard; Pogba, Kante; Matuidi (Tolisso 86’), Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud (N’Zonzi 85’).

BELGIUM XI (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Vertonghen, Kompany, Alderweireld, Chadli (Chadli 91’); Dembele (Mertens 60’), Witsel; Hazard, Fellaini (Carrasco 80’), De Bruyne; Lukaku.

    If Liverpool sign Shaqiri, do we think he'll be bench fodder, or signal some regular rotation of the front 3?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Rotation I think.

    2. A19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No significant rotation in my opinion. He's way below Mane and Salah in terms of level... He'll come out of the bench and will perhaps start some games but no significant threat.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I think there will be more rotation tbh but there will definitely be more substitutions

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I honestly don't see how he fit's Klopp's system. I think he'd be behind the front 3, in Ox's role but he doesn't work hard enough for geggenpressing, imo.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure I like he’s attitude either. Could have a negative impact on the team. Time will tell

    4. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say PL wise he'll need an injury from one of the front 3 to be involved. Otherwise he'll be a late sub..

    5. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just for depth and an occasional appearance

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

    I'd just like to point out that planning transfers is daft.

    "

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Draft* 😉

    2. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      So are you drafting players still playing at the WC or not?

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Of course not, and I will be getting some in probably when they do start playing, but there's no point trying to predict which of my starting team will need to go, and which world cup player I'll want to bring in

  3. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on the initial first draft team for FPL 18/19 season

    Ederson
    Coleman Robertson Daniels
    D.Silva Moura Mane Walcott
    Firmino Aguero Zaha

    Speroni Mee Neves Tomkins

    1m ITB

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Grand.
      Although there’s better options than Neves @5.0

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Wilshere ?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Anybody @4.5m is better than Wilshere/Neves.

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Personally think Costa for Wolves is underpriced @5.0
            Cairney another better option

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah, I just don't like a 5m mf on the bench. Will seldom play him in that team above.

              1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                I am starting Cairney rotates well with Maguire for the first four.

          2. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I agree with Christina

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I'm going for Crainey at the moment.

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Cairney?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              yeh!

    2. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why Moura over Lamela?

  4. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Will England or Croatia play a strong sqaud for the 3rd play off final or do we expect lots of changes ?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Changes but with Harry going for his boot!

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      How's this relevant?

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I expect both teams going for the Bronze medal anything other than that would be mental

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Nah normally teams heavily rotate and it turns into a high profile friendly match.
        How many third place teams can you name in the world cups you are old enough to remember?

        That is why I tried to pick the teams who I think would be the finalists.
        Got lucky so far with France.
        If England win I will only have two Croatians, and a Belgian to reconsider.

  5. samaael
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    First draft. Havent been on in awhile.

    Ederson
    TAA/ Alonso/ Bavies/ Tomkins/ Petier
    Dilva/ Salah/ Walcott/ Ibe/ Cairny
    Aguero/ Firmino/ Jiminez

    Cheers

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      TAA and Ibe my only doubts (especially the start of the season)

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Looks decent. Don't know much about Cairny

    3. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I really want bavies but rose and aurier are in the mix too. So rotation will be risky.

    4. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Good team but I wouldn't pick Alonso. So much uncertainty around Che atm and if Sari gets a job he won't be the same prospect like previous years.

  6. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Afternoon ladies. First draft done.

    3 pool and city each.
    2 Burnley (provided they don't prioritize Europa).
    Theo.

    Seems easy. Need 2 arsenal atleast from gw 3.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      hi sexy.

      care to share? or do i need to pop over...

      x

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Pop over.

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Which City players though, mate?

      Aguero/Jesus will keep on rotating, only three of D.Silva/Mahrez/B.Silva/Sterling/Sané can start (huge rotation there too)...

      I like Mendy but alos think Pep will play Delph (who was great last season) from time to time.

      1. Super Silva Haze
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        All very good points. Imo Sane will start on left score or assist 2 or 3 goals then let on Mahrez. Same with Kun to start and then Jesus to come on.

      2. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez Kun Stones

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Laporte is your man since Stones is still in wc.

  7. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Morning chaps.

    Quick one: Jota or Neves??

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Jota - attacking sentiments
      Neves - defensive sentiments.

      1. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't see much of Wolves last yr. He did score a few worldies though.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          You want the guy who scuffs in 8 goals, not the one with 2 worldies per season!

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Complete this defence:

      Fabianski - McCarthy
      Coleman - PVA - Bednarek - ? - ?

      A) Tarkowski + Bailly
      B) Mendy + 4.5 (suggestions welcome)

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Would have to be (a). Be would leave you too vulnerable.

      2. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Gah! sorry meant to make this a new comment rather than a reply!

        Anyway, definitely Jota but I'm going without Wolves for the first few. Not brilliant fixtures first 6.

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Easy: Jota 100%

      Jota is a forward classified as a midfielder (17 goals 5 assists)
      Neves is a defensive midfielder (6 goals 1 Assist)

    4. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Jota

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA Daniels Cedric
    Salah Eriksen D.Silva Fernandinho
    Aguero Zaha Firmino

    Fabianski Stephens Peltier Zanka

    How does this look to ya?

    1. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It looks real nice. I don't see much attacking returns from Fernandhino bit it's nicely balanced.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        May replace Fernandhino if I see better at that price range.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Good but I don't like that defence. Downgrade Eriksen ( most of the Spurs are in wc still and tougher fixtures at start as they slow starting, + new stadium) to a mid range mid and beef up the defence.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

  9. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How my team looking guys ? Only concerns are Sokratis and L Moura. Anything you would change ?

    Lloris
    Sokratis Coleman Daniels
    Dilva Salah L.Moura Cairney
    Aguero Zaha Firmino

    Fabianski Tomkins Cedric Musuaku

    1. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't spend 4.5 on Fabianski if you're going Lloris. Also probably worth waiting until GW3 for an Arsenal defender.

      1. Super Silva Haze
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Any 4.0 playing goalkeepers ?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Prolly not, but you won't drop Lloris.

          1. Super Silva Haze
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            This is true.

        2. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Speroni? Could be mistaken

  10. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Has there already been a Kane or Salah hot topic?

    Anyway, I think I'll start with Salah and no Kane - afraid Harry won't be ready at the start of the season; WC till 15th of July, then holidays, which means he will prob not get back with the group before early August

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No Kane for me for the start

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No one is getting Kane

      1. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He's got a 38% ownership as we speak

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty much everyone will take this approach

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      You, me and 95% of posters here. Hardly warrants a hot topic. A hot topic would be the looney and his "Why I'm starting with Kane"!

  11. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is Aguero, Sane and Mahrez too much for the city cover ?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Dunno why you’d want Mahrez

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        ahhahaah, realy ?
        hes new salah this season 😉

        1. noquarternt

          What’s Peps line up for the 1st game?

          1. Jebiga
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            de bryine will not play as well as most of the players from the world cup, stones, sterling, etc...

            1. noquarternt
              • 8 Years

              Write 11 who will start

                ederson

                fernandinho,
                d.sivla, sane, mahrez, ?
                aguero

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hell yes. Rarely would all 3 start together, not for months anyway!

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        You are joking, righ ? 🙂

    3. SW6
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think it is yes.

  12. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    9.5m for a mid and fwd, to rotate in 11th spot with a 4.5 def, easy right? :S

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Well, you can't guarantee to put 11 starters out, but otherwise, 'easy'!

  13. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hearing rumours that Juve may be forced to sell Higuain to Chelsea to make this Ronaldo transfer work financially....

    If this is true, Higuain is nailed on in my FPL team. Would see him coming in at the same price as Lukaku / Auba / Aguero in the 11m bracket.

    Chelsea have great fixtures too

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think he'd flop

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say it's highly probable. But would he be better than Morata?
      I mean he ought to be, but this is Chelsea!

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      My main issue is that I think he'd be awful in the prem, bearing in mind he's fat and slow

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Rumour has it that Sarri wants both Higuain and Rugani

    5. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Souldaddy at Spurs mkII

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Fat and over the top player. Huge trap.

  14. Djemba-Djemba
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is it wort having the Triple S mid - Salah, Sanchez and Sane for the sacrifices made elsewhere?

    Looking at:

    Ederson/Fab
    Tomkins/Bellerin/TAA/Daniels/Peltier
    Sane/Salah,Sanchez/Jota/Cairney
    Reid/Laca/Zaha

    1. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No far too much sacrifice. Laca not nailed. Reid not a good pick. Bellerina waste of money

      1. Djemba-Djemba
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        No chance Laca and Auba start together?

      2. Djemba-Djemba
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Also Bobby Reid 19 goals, 7 assists in the championship, if he does just half of that for 5.5 i'd be very happy.

        1. Super Silva Haze
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Bro it's the PL has in now. 9 goals don't come so easy.

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why does anyone have Sanchez? Baffling.

      1. Djemba-Djemba

        Hasn't played in the WC and only man utd mid that can score big points.

          He plays for Mou

            5 years, 9 months ago

            Heh, you've noticed all the present and past Mou players who play so much better when they're away from him!

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Well that's not too bad actually. But whatever formation you go with you will have at least one 1-2 pointer on the field. I'd save the 0.5m on your 2nd keeper (you're not going to rotate Ederson) and upgrade a defender for a solid 4-4-2.

    Best 6 mil or under striker? And if mitrovic is given that value would he be the best option

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      On Wilson currently

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say there are none. At that price best to get a 4.5m benchie and spend elsewhere. If you want a viable 3rd striker you'd need to start at 6.5 or 7m imo.

      For me its bobby reid at 5.5 but he's not a popular choice.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cos we know nothing about him! I'm looking for a playing super-cheapie. Pencilled in Kamara at the moment but I'd listen to views about Reid if he plays and scores.

          Kamara is tipped to start?

    Guaita looks like fantastic value, although I got burnt by Mandanda before... think I'll risk it

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He def be first choice?

    Ederson (Speroni)
    PVA-Robertson-Coleman (Cedric-Peltier)

    So nobody thinks that Mahrez is new Salah this season !?

    1. Norman Conquest

      i'm starting with him and take it from there

      Not for a few months anyway.

    Hey guys, been on this site for about two seasons, never had a membership but now I’m considering it. Just wanna know, is it worth the money? I’ve been finishing top 100k (not great but still) and been winning my local leagues three years in a row.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      for the information made available to you, it's definitely worth the money imo

      1. Trentminator
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thank you!

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Now that they’re hiding stats discussions, yeah could be worth it. Just gotta listen to the good posters on here and ignore bad ones like me.

      1. Trentminator
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Haha, I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      You dont get that much that you cant find on other sites, but then it hardly costs anything to be a member, so Id say its worth it.

  21. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Can we guess Spurs' lineup for the first two games? Absolutely decimated by WC/Asia Games.

    Lloris (assuming GKs can recover quicker...)
    Aurier - Sanchez - Foyth - Davies
    Winks(?) - Wanyama
    Moura - Eriksen - Lamela/Sissoko
    Llorente

    Seen Eriksen in a lot of drafts but surely his points will be limited even against Newcastle & Fulham?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Something like that. Combined with new stadiumitis, I'm avoiding any Spuds early doors.

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Same. Eriksen punishment incoming!! I just can't justify it.

    2. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If Eriksen can score for Denmark, he can score in a decimated Spurs! 😀

    3. H-SF
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if Kane and Vertonghen are in the team, (especially Vertonghen) but assuming Kane isn’t, I think we will line up like this:

      Lloris
      Aurier Sanchez Vertonghen Davies
      Wanyama Winks
      Lucas Eriksen Sissoko
      Lamela

      I think it is very likely we will sign players who can play against Newcastle, and I could see Sissoko and Lamela being sold. So basically, it’s too early to call it.

      1. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Lamela can play a false 9?

      2. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah fair enough. Vertonghen is a machine tbf so could play. I think it's also the Old Trafford game lurking in GW3 which turns me off as well.

        Not saying Eriksen can't score in those - just don't think there's a very high ceiling for him compared to some others in that bracket.

        Will certainly get a Spurs asset down the line but looking at it... fixtures don't clear up entirely until December!

        1. H-SF
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I might stray away too, but I think there is potential value in Lucas/Lamela who may potentially get a lot of game time at the beginning of the season. But as I said, we will have to wait until we have done more business (ins and outs) to get a real idea of what assets from Spurs we want.

  22. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bonatini nailed at Wolves?

    On Robertson + 5.0 or TAA + 6.0

    6.0 is Wilson, so pretty much any nailed 5.0 would be ok..

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Probably not - started off last season well, but his form dropped dramatically after January.

      If he can get back into form again, he could be a good option though.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      They bought another forward Mir, so that's their third forward for now. Who will play nobody knows for sure.

      fuchs (sake) lol

      really?

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone considering Lamela? Seems nailed for opening fixtures, at least.

    1. A19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Monitor pre season. But Spurs still have something like 9 players at the WC, plus they have the stadium issue... Not keen on them

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, good pick if you are wc-ing early.

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers both

  25. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 9 months ago

    Higuain has scored 34 goals in season under Sarri.

    You're joking if you think he'll flop.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Agree. If he comes, you expecting 10.5m FPL price? Kinda similar to Laca price tag last year.

      1. penman26
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        9.5 i think

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It is hard to keep track of just how many players come from Serie A with big reps and flop.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Whatever price I'll wait to see if he's a Costa or a Torres/Batty/Morata.

  26. A19
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Guys, which one would you choose? In B it's Lacazette, think he could be a good punt at that price, for the moment but could be any other 9.5 fwd except firmino (triple LIV already)

    A) Bailly Sané Tosun Wilshere
    B) Tomkins Dilva Lacazette Stephens

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A.) But don't know is Wilshere a good pick.

      1. A19
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks! Yeah will monitor him pre season, if not him I would get another 5.0 mid (Cairney maybe)
        That's my 5th bench fodder mid anyway

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Cairney is a solid pick.

  27. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ederson, Lloris, Courtois or Pickford from the off?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      De gea

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Guaita

  28. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone tell me the deal with Christiansen. Is he worth a look at 5.5. If nailed then he's a good option ?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not yet since we don't know anything what's going on with The.

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years

        *Che

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If nailed is the key. Need to see what system Sarri uses - 3 or 4 at the back.

  29. boc610
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Karius is still concussed by all accounts

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yeh, a booboo at Tranmere yesterday is the final nail in the coffin in my book. Poor chap.

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        seems a matter of pride with klopp, he got him, made him no 1 but its been a fiasco. only signing hes made that hasn't worked

  30. Kizza_10
