Set-piece and penalty takers for final World Cup Fantasy matches

We are left with the same four teams for the final round of World Cup Fantasy matches, with two more fixtures making up Gameround 7.

That includes the third/fourth place play-off that Belgium and England will play in on Saturday.

So, for one last time, we’ve collated all the relevant set-piece data so Fantasy Football Scout members can work out which nations are the best to focus on for their transfers.

It still looks like England are the most likely to score from set-piece situations despite their exit from the tournament, while Croatia remain susceptible to balls into the box.

READ NEXT: Our transfer tips and stats for the final round of World Cup Fantasy matches

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 7 is at 15:00 BST on Sarturday July 14, so make sure you sort your team in time.

    Tottenham are open to the prospect of selling 29-year-old Belgium defender Toby Alderweireld before the new Premier League season and will consider a deal with Manchester United. (Yahoo Sport)

    Nice, eh?

      How many centre backs do united need surly they need to sell some of smalling Jones blind rojo lindelof Bailey

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Rumours of Lindelof going on loan. Expect Blind will go, and maybe Rojo.

      2. HamezMace

        5 years, 9 months ago

        Strange isn't it, it's almost like they have 5 defenders who are all pretty good, but not outstanding.
        Seemed that Bailey and Lindelof came in to replace Smalling and Jones, but Mourinho now doesn't seem convinced by either of them? Almost seemed like he brought them to have some ammunition for the critics who say he doesn't like young players.
        He also praised Rojo last year, and gave him a new contract.

          Agreed and with all the rotation there resale value has probably by like 30%

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

        Jones, Blind, Rojo, Lindelof aren't really good.

      No way.Levy will never sell to that bunch of... Why would he strengthen a team we are capable of beating.

      Fake news imo

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

        Sold them Berbatov and Carrick...and Sheringham

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yep but after they abducted Berbatov. Levy said never again and he hasn't done since. He's stubborn for sure

          Talk sport said UTD were now after Mcguire this morning

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Thats a transfer Id love to see. Not only for FPL, where he would be 100% essential, but great player.

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

              At 5.5m he'd be in 99% of FPL squads!

                I agree to a point but not sacrificing the chance of some sweet free PL tickets by not countering my ML rivals penchant for Utd defenders

                1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Oh in FPL I will have a defender. It's not great having a defender you want to concede but head over heart. It would be difficult to go with no Arsenal or UTD

                  1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 9 months ago

                    Yeah I’d be quite happy to continually get 2-pointers from them which is pretty backwards I guess!

      2. TheTwelfthMan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He'll get 60 million for a player who has a fractionally lower release clause next season, why wouldn't he sell? He sold Walker to City after you finished above them, he'll sell to whoever if it's the right price.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He's a man of principle. See above

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Alder will go abroad

    5. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      60 mill is meant to be the price initially wanted 75 mill for him but due to his buyout clause dropping to 25 mill in 11 months they are now open to letting him go

      daley blind should be joining ajax early next week then either rojo or bailly will prob be sold as well

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

        No way Bailly will be sold, he's one of the best center-backs in the league and really young.

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          try again wouldn't let me post that ha ha i hope he stays too but he is on the naughty step right now

        2. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          If he's one of the best CB's in the league, then so are you and I my friend.

      Too risky imo
      Ramsey tough first games
      Siggy ?! Don't know
      King? Nailed?
      Aguero? Rotation?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Just playing around really I fancy getting Auba in up front instead of Aguero, this is my first draft with 4 midfielders and everyone seems to be doubting those in the 7million range....

        Thanks very much for the feedback 🙂

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I like the Ramsey pick...

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        would you take him over sigurdson?

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Really nice squad to be honest. Siggy and Rambo are great picks and have got points consistently for years. Dilva was worrying me too much so i upgraded him to Sane, Dilva has been at the WC, is getting on a bit and Peps comments re managing his playing time are a concern.

    5. Ronaldo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Decent back line, really just hoping for coleman attacking returns as i dont think there will be many clean sheets under silva, but on the flip side of that, it does boost his potential attacking output. I like the ederson pick and im on the same, but im worried that it then means i have to use a transfer on a keeper IF the attacking line up ends up being settled and i want 3 outfield city players. I have Mendy currently, so thats only leaving me with one attacking city slot which means ill be losing one of ederson/mendy. Douglas is a little risk, but one worth taking!

      Not sure Azpi will match last season, but still he's a safe bet in a team who traditionally keep a lot of clean sheets. I think ill be holding off on Chelsea until we have an idea how the new manager is likely to line them up. Also, a lot of players at the world cup could mean a poor start. Got my eye on Giroud if he's going to be the main striker.

      I like that midfield! There was talk of D.Silva playing a lesser role this year and the threat of rotation is huge with how many attacking players city now have. However, I think thats rubbish and silva will start the season as he exited the world cup before others who i think will be given a little rest (KDB, Sterling)

      I think i'd like to upgrade King, to a 7.0 of Zaha or Tosun or even down to Niasse at 5.5 if he looks like being a starter at everton but then you'd be on triple everton and whilst i think they'll do well attacking wise this season, not sure i'd triple up on them. In that case, i also like Charlie Austin at 6.0 if he looks like being a starter. He may be a bit of a nostalgia pick, but has always delivered consistent returns when he gets decent pitch time.

      Aguero a decent pick to start with, and then if rotation kicks in, its an easy swap to pretty much any other striker who looks in form or has decent fixtures.

      Overall, i like the look of it. 8/10

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

        Rotation for Aguero- there's no guarantee he starts the first game! and if Jesus gets the easier game against huddersfield you're gonna be kicking yourself.

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

    Any thoughts on this? Seems a bit dull..

    Ederson (4.0)
    Robertson - Coleman - Daniels - Tomkins - Peltier
    Salah - Eriksen - Mahrez - Walcott - 4.5
    Firmino - Zaha - Arnautovic

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

      Looks like an early wildcard to me.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nice. Except arnie. Bad fixt

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

        look at arnie h/a....

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

          Is Arnie going to be effective without the entire attacking structure being based around him?

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

        Who else at 7? Tosun would make triple Everton..

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          They are cheap. Not a problem?!
          Maybe walcott to lamela if you want

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

        If you look at the fixtures individually I dont think many of them are bad for an attacking player. Its easy to get scared by the blocks of red, but attackers could do well in those fixtures regardless.

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

      wait and see with Arnie's position pre-saeason. No spurs for me just cos of their WC exertions. How would you feel about a City mid double up? Sane perhaps?

    4. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I know he's their record signing, but is Mahrez first choice? Maybe first couple of games, but once aguero, Jesus, Stirling, BSilva and Sane are all fit, he's not playing every week.

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

        Right now, Mahrez is a better player than Sterling and Sane.

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

      Very good side!
      Great GK and defs choice imo (if any 5.5 ManU def will look like nailed in preseason than maybe he will be a must).
      Mid is perfect, I like all that picks.
      Strikers are ok but...no 11 mil one may be a problem if Auba/Aguero or even Lukaku explode.

      Its strong 8.5/10 for me.
      I would downgrade one mid to get 11mil striker but maybe it isnt as obvious as I think.

  4. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Strange that there's a few player prices missing at Liverpool no Woodburn, Wilson or ward?

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

      I guess waiting to see if they end up on loan somewhere and maybe become more of an attractive option to us.
      Like Kennedy for example.

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

    Premature but interesting predicted Hammers lineup for GW1.Chicharito, Yarmolenko and Arnautovic.

    https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/fixtures-results/yarmolenko-anderson-west-ham-lineup-14888189

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

      Chicharito could be a dark horse in fpl this year, with the amount of creativity around him, his poaching style could really benefit

    2. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why is felipe Anderson worth 50 mil? I am actually curious, never heard or seen that guy play. Anybody following his game?

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

        He's not. West Ham are just over paying. He had a good season 4 years ago or something and ok recently but has been in the bench a lot for Lazio.

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

          Thanks! Its a crazy market really

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

          Really...

          Last season he missed the first 14 matches due to a tear in abductor muscle. Missed 1 game due to suspension and stuck on bench for just 2 matches. Still managed 1.62 points per match.
          16/17 1.71 ppm
          15/16 1.40 ppm
          14/15 1.78 ppm
          13/14 1.23 ppm

    3. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wilshire 5m? Not bad

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

        Drafted him in and out already couple of times, it will be great if he nails that No. 10 role behind chicharito

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

          I think that if Chicha plays up top, Arnie will be playing no10

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

        It's an awkward price. I don't like having a playing 5m player in a 4 man midfield, and I don't even want anything other than a 4.5m on the bench.
        Cairney is also probably better for 5m.

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

          What about both with rotation?

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

            Inevitable bench points...my most frustrating thing in fpl.
            Same reason I will go De Gea, rather than two rotating keepers.

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yarmolenko, proven international goalscorer. Remains to be seen if/where he'll play. I would have expected him and Arnautovic to be 2 up top. Wilshere will get a few assists, the occasional goal, 5m is about right but for now I'll get a 4.5m fodder.

  6. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

    Small Shaq - man's not hench.

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

    Currently on:

    Rui - Fabianski
    Daniels - Cedric - Doherty - Coleman

    worth switching Doherty to Tomkins to avoid the double up?

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

      Cheap back line you worried about squad price balance? Trying to decide if I need a 6m plus Def myself

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

        will likely get Mendy and get rid of Dilva if pre-season looks good for the former

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes imo, Palace have good fixtures

  8. Yordan Letchkov
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    1st draft:

    Ederson 4.0
    Robertson, Coleman, PVA, Cedric, Holebas (if nailed)
    Salah, Silva, Deulofeu, Hendrick, Stephens
    Auba, Firmino, Tosun

    343 or 433, depending on fixtures.

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be playing 433 with that midfield you don't really want 2 of Hendrick, Feu and Stephens starting although they are decent bench cover 🙂

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

      Not bad. I like that back line but that mid is no good. Silva is 78 years old and will defo be rotated plus Deu, Hendrick and Stephens doesnt look good (for 433 maybe ok).

      1. chriscioffi88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        78 haha.

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I’d downgrade PVA to Tomkins, Holebas to fodder and upgrade the Mid.

  9. England23
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A. Wilson + Cairney + Bednerak

    Or

    B. Mir + Masuaku + Davies

    I’m oddly drawn to option B, due to being able to swap for trippier when he returns, then I’m not sure how long he will be out for with his injury. Any ideas guys? Thanks

  10. Dacra

    Is Jimanez nailed at Wolves?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Don't think so. Think him and Bonatini may swap a lot

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

      They will invest in a better striker before the season starts

  11. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ederson, Hamer
    Robertson, Coleman, Bolly, Diop, Tomkins
    Salah, ?, Mkhi, Jota, ?
    Aguero, Firmino, Kamara

    Whats best?
    A) Silva and Deulofeu
    B) Mahrez and Cairney

    1. AndrewTavey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A if you're playing 352, B if playing 442

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years

    First Sarah draft! Thoughts?

    Ederson
    Coleman Robertson Tarkowski Daniels
    Salah Sanchez Sigurdsson Richarlison
    Aguero Zaha

    Subs: Stek Cedric Costa Kamara

      Cannot guarantee that Aguero is going to start every game. In fact it is only KDB, and Emerson that are nailed on in my opinion!

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

      Im not a fan at all of having Salah and 2 additional big hitters. The top priced player justify their price by being great captain options and you cant captain all 3.

  13. Hanked
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Trying to decide between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3. Comes down to:

    1) Arnie
    or
    2) Ramsey

    What do you think?

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

      Ramsey

      1. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate. What's your thinking?

    2. KingOllie

      Im going with Rambo

  14. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Nobody knows if anyone is nailed - transfer window is still wide open, and pre-season has barely started.

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Going to try and log off and look closer after a few more friendlies have been played.

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Are you suggesting people don't make 100 teams a day?

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        People can do what they want 🙂

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed. For all we know Niasse could he preferred over Tosun and we get a 5.5 Everton striker.

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

        Given that Niasse thrived under Silva before, that's a real possibility.

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

          *Logs back in to FPL and sneakily drops the 4 mil Everton GK to free up an Everton spot*

          1. Andy_Social

            🙂

  15. Net Gains
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Please let me know what you think of this attempt:

    Fabianski (Speroni)

    Alonso Jones Bertrand (Tomkins Zanka)

    Salah Mahrez Walcott Jota Deulofeu

    Aguero Firmino (Quaner)

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

      Nice, but i would squeeze Tosun maybe and dump jones, walcott, jota...

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

      Ok but: Fabian has bad fixtures, Alonso is unknown after Conte sacked, Jones may not be nailed but that front 8 looks very good!

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

    Still really disappointed about the chips, would have loved being forced the BB and TC on SGWs early in the season

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

      I'd rather they just got rid of them altogether

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

        There was only one wildcard one time or has the lack of drugs addled my brain?

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

          Perhaps, I can't really remember. I know it used to be 1 WC anytime, and 1 in January only. But maybe before that it was just 1 WC

        2. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yes you are right

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

        Yay to this

    2. Now I'm Panicking

      Mmmm chips

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

      Wolves buy Patricio and this is Liverpool's plan for the season. Lol@Klopp

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

    Please RMT.

    Begovic
    Cedric Tomkins Baines
    Salah Mkhitaryan Sanchez Sane
    Tosun Firmino Zaha

    Boruc Mee Peltier Stephens

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

      Nice. You're not at 100m there.

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

        What do you mean? I am

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

          Apologies, I didn't think Sane and Sanchez were as expensive as they are.

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

      Bou cant defend(you will play it every week), def is too light plus Baines is 56 years old.
      Mkhi is a risky pick as I see a rotation there. No 11 mil attacker may be a problem if Aguero/Auba or even Lukaku explode as you cant get any in one move.

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

        Good points.
        What would you suggest?

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

          You need to cut in mid so:
          - Sanchez needs to go
          - Upgrade GK or get 2x4.5
          - Baines to Coleman/ManU def who will look nailed after preseason
          - Tosun/Zaha to 11mil

          Thats for a start. Not sure about Mee to as Bur has EL and may rotate but not nesesary in def.

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

      9/10
      Awesome midfield, Tosun and Baines need monitoring to see if Silva likes them.

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

        Thanks

  18. Gringo Kid

    Who do you prefer more

    A) Daniels
    B) Holebas

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Holebas short term, Daniels in the long-run

  19. Mikeharbrw
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Breaks my heart but I'm not sure I can select Alonso if he's going to be playing LB, hasn't got Kante covering him for the first few gameweeks and Robertson is 0.5 cheaper. 🙁

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

      Rumour has it that Sarri prefers Emerson too

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

        🙁

      2. Deulofail

        Where's this from, please?

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

          The rumour mill

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

      Same here. Was one of the first players in my team but now think tgat Robo or even one of 5.5 lads will fill that spot

  20. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Would you change anything?

    Ederson / Speroni
    Alonso / Bellerin / Robertson / Cedric / Wan - Bissaka
    Salah / D Silva / Deulofeu / Cairney / Stephens
    Aguero / Firmino / Tosun

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

      you planning on 4-3-3? don't fancy an arsenal cleanie in the first 2 gws so would swap Bellers to an Everton Def maybe? or if one of the starting united defence comes in at 5.5 maybe that. Not sure Cairney has the fixtures to be a 4th mid in the opening gameweeks.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers....Thinking Arsenal are going to be strong def this season and Palace, Burnley and Brighton in first 4 games for Crainey.

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

          I have toyed with him myself- went Hughes when that slot was a 5.0m in my team. Currently on Delufeou

  21. The 5% Team
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A new addition in my Dutch Fantasy game for this season: if a player who comes off the bench for his team and scores or assists, his points are doubled. Quite like this one, what do you think?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      Horrible

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years

      Interesting, really allows the gane to be less about "nailedness;".

    https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2018/7/13/statement-on-antonio-conte

    "During Antonio’s time at the club, we won our sixth league title and eighth FA Cup. In the title winning season, the club set a then-record 30 wins in a 38-game Premier League season, as well as a club-record 13 consecutive league victories.

    We wish Antonio every success in his future career."

    The two words missing here: "Thank You". Not even a "Cheers"
    Incredible.

      You sound surprised a club like chelsea have no respect, values or dignity

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

        not many prem clubs do unfortunately.

      2. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years

        Touche! I do not support Chelsea btw, never have and doubt I ever will.

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

      I don't think either party has covered themselves in glory here

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How's this slightly differential team?

    McCarthy, Fab
    Robbo, Coleman, Matip, Kola, Cedric
    Salah, Sanchez, Mahrez, Hughes, Wilshere
    Aguero, Tosun, kamara

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

      Matip to 4.0

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Like kola and matip picks

  24. bennett661
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Don’t usually bother with RMT but I have to admit I’m struggling this time round...so here is my first draft...any feedback appreciated.

    Ederson/Speroni
    Robertson/Coleman/Cedric/Ogbonna/Daniels
    Mane/Sane/Eriksen/Deulofeu/Izquierdo
    Firmino/Vardy/Arnie

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

      A lot of money on the bench there lad.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Benching headache

    3. buzzkill
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure about Eriksen when half his team are in Russia still, I see a slow start for Spuds. Can you bin him and Mane or Salah and a 6.0?
      I'd ditch Vardy too, no Mahrez to feed him and you can better spend the funds on your mids.

  25. dayanpetrow
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Initial DRAFT:

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Jones Tomkins Mee (Bednarek Daniels)
    Gudmundsson Sigurdsson Sanchez Eriksen (Gunnarsson or any 4.5 starter)
    Zaha Aguero Firmino

    1.5 iTB

    Notes:
    Willing to push the defense with a Chelsea/Spurs/Arsenal def (Azpi/Ver/Monreal)
    Son to Eriksen when Son is back in the team
    Sanchez and Firmino can be Salah and Arnautovic but I am somewhat reluctant to believe Salah can reproduce
    Auba to Aguero after GW2

  26. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years

    Do you guys think Lingard's gonna hold the number 10 position?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      hard a rumour sanchez might be getting number 10

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        *heard

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

          He automatically tends to drift to the left, could work

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Can see him playing off the right when United are full strength but he might share gametime with Mata/Martial/Rashford.

      Matic;
      Fred, Pogba;
      Lingard, Lukaku, Alexis.

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

        You don't see it being a 4-2-3-1 anymore?

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

    1.99m giant CB Jannik Vestergaard has been announced as Saints 4th signing.
    I guess there goes the Bednarek dreams of many a FPL manager.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He's a threat to Lovren/Matip, not Bednarek.

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

        I should be pissed at this remark ,but I find myself softly chuckly instead. XD

      how talls that in real money

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years

        Not sure how to answer that!
        Fee: 18m
        Height: 6 foot 6
        Contract: 4 years.

        1. Norman Conquest

  28. buzzkill
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Whats the better options guys?

    A. Sane + Bailly/Jones
    B. De Bruyne + Shaw

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

      Sane + Bailly

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

        Appreciated

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

      Wait and see who is going to play in ManU def and looks nailed. Than decide.
      If all nailed than A

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

        Good plan, thanks

  29. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is the front 7 worth it for that defence or is it asking for trouble?

    Will probably wildcard early anyway after all world cup players settle back in.

    Fab / 4.0

    Trent / Holebas / Cedric / Tomkins / Peltier

    Salah / Sanchez / Dsilva / Deulofeu / Walcott

    Firmino / Kun / 4.5

    Cheers x

    1. arndff_

      Interesting...

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

      That defence would give me nightmares

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

        ballsy though. Could maybe ditch one of the 4.5s for a 4.0 and get a 5.5 instead of Trent?

        1. chilli con kone
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I've got Peltier as a 4.0 and not looking likely that Bednarek will get starts now. Would have liked to raise the 0.5 to get it though

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Back line more open than Kim Kardashian.

      1. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Haha I was hoping you were going to say my defence is as well-rounded 🙂

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      That defence...
