    Benteke anyone?

    1. Marvin of all he surveys
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Behave.

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

      What about Mili for the same price? Are you getting me?

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

        Hell no

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

          So you don't like 150 pts for 6,5 mil?

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

            Not gonna score a penalty each match like previous season. He had one wonder season like yaya toure's 240 points season

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

              He is on corners, FK, penos and will play higher on het pitch this season. Still no appeal? Jacky, don't be difficult please 🙂

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

      If he turns out to be nailed, I would expect Benteke to score more goals than Zaha.

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

        He is their A guy up front. Possible

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

          It's a big "if" though. I'm avoiding them both initially - I can't see Zaha scoring shed-loads of points, and if he does start with a couple of blanks, his price will drop like a stone with his ownership.

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

            Sure. If I had to pick an offensive guy from CP, Mili would be my pick.

          2. Alexis Nonsense
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Arnie/Kun to drop more than Zaha if they dont perform

            Arnie tougher fixtures

            Kun not nailed

            Zaha nailed and in form...

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

              What has Arnie and Kun got to do with Zaha?

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He could be great value, overlooked

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

        I just hope he won't be stealing any penos from Mili.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He does like to take a pen 😆

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

            Waited for this to happen today. Luckily, he was smarter than last season.

    5. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If he starts, he will definitely score more than Zaha. So, yes.

    B. Jota + Alder

    1. barracuda

      Don't like neither combos

    2. sirmorbach

      Not trying to be that guy here, but

      C. Jota + PVA + 0.5

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Watching Arsenal today and listening to their hometown announcers, there is optimism that Mkhi will start! So A

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

        Would you fork out 7 mil for "that" guy?

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          7 million is actually quite cheep for Mkhi if you saw him today... but he is a risk to start so based on that he is not in my team... a wait and see

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

            You want a value for 7 mil? Get Gross. He won't disappoint

            1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Easy transfer to him when his fixtures improve

    4. Blue Pelican
      • 13 Years

      A.

  3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hi DZ mates:
    I have come up with this to get 4 top 6 defenders; 5 top 6 mids and 3 quality mid price strikers with good fixtures. Also have 2 playing 4.0s. What do you think?
    Ederson Stek
    Robbo Bailey Luiz WanB Bedhead
    (S)alah Erik Ozil Silva Pedro
    Arnie King Austin

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

      I'd go wth Rambo instead of Ozil and upgrade one of those 4.0s.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Rambo is hurt... again... and again... and Bednarek will start... but Southampton defense was rubbish today... so a work in progress... cheers Sirmor

    Here's one for you lads.
    Best 4.5m Gk combo for this team ?

    4.5
    Luiz Robertson Tomkins
    Salah Eriksen Sanchez Cairney
    Aguero King Arnie

    4.5 WB Peltier Musuaka

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

      Always Foster and Fab

  5. Goujon82
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Watching Liverpool live today I’d be confident that Gomez could very well be the preferred partner for VVD with Clyne and TAA jostling for the RB spot

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

      Lovren?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      "Lovren is one of the best defenders in the world"
      Klopp

      1. Goujon82
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t make me laugh lads...Liverpool looked the full blown real deal today, a proper squad and unit. I was mightily impressed considering I’d be critical of them most days.

        Like city under Pep, they’ve spent big and addressed their weak links in Allison, VVD, Fabinho (outstanding in the 30mins he played), Keita and Shaqiri..options all over the park. Clyne and Robertson were excellent and TAA came on and made a good impact as did Sturridge. Gomez was solid, reliable and quick across the ground..

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

        Is he?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Only important to Klopp.

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

        "Lovren is one of the best players in the world"
        Lovren

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

      Yeah, Gomez could keep his place if he does well. van Dijk has bigged him up too.

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

        Would you consider Gomez as a viable 5.0 starting option?

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

          I would rather pay the premium for van Dijk / Robertson and be done with it.

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

            Not sure why VVD has been added into this conclusion. I thought you were sold on Robbo 100 % 🙂

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

              He's the safest pick to be fair, and has the most goal threat. But yeah, I'm on Robertson.

          2. Goujon82
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Plenty of logic in that, I’m similar at present myself but today’s game opened my eyes a little...Shaqiri going to break hearts this year against weaker teams starting agonist Minnows at expense of Mane and maybe even Salah occasionally or coming on after 70 and scoring plus nabbing some BP’s, mark my words, he’s a viable €7.5m even off the bench

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

              Imagine those going with Mane only...

              1. Goujon82
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                That was me until today

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

                  Glad you changed your mind mate 🙂 We could still be wrong though..

        2. Goujon82
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yes I would.

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lovren cometh

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

    My front 3 has been

    Auba /Zaha /Arnie

    Based on the game I was at Wednesday I'm leaning towards Lacazette now instead.

    Also getting cold feet on Zaha with this potential move to chelsea.

    Like Arnie regardless of fixtures...

    So Auba or Lacazette??
    What should I do for 3rd striker slot if not Zaha??

    Thanks

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I would still prefer Aubameyang. If not Zaha pick a place holder at 6.5 like king and wait for some form player to emerge +or- .5m

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      After today, the Arsenal announcers were so impressed with Mkhi (who did look good), that they were thinking Mkhi might replace Laca upfront

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

    Amazing how 'value' is banded about during pre-season when looking back/ahead but no one really mentions it during the season.

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

      Value during the season equals chasing last week's points

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

        It's almost as if there are form/fixtures that will determine a players 'value' on a week-by-week basis.

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

          Lol, we all want 15 season keepers come gw1, but come game week 23, we all want to transfer in and captain Rashford for that plum home fixture because Lukaku is suspended for a week or whatever.

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

      It depends. Values are in constant motion. May not be directly underscored during the season...

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      In a sense value has been created by last season and pricing and in the cold light of day it's easy to pontificate to suit our own objectives, ie I need a 6.0 striker so let's look at the value argument instead of just saying he might be great 😆

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

        Pontificate? Christ Netley, think of the children!!

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

          I had to have a large glass. But I am pouring the very same glass again 🙂

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Value is a measure, good, bad or fair is the real question and how is it decided? Like most things it emerges at the end but we have drunk this before so we have a view already based on taste, effect & price... the variables in fpl are not quite as consistent as has the brewer poisoned me this time 😆

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

              Ha ha. Lovely. Lighting up my wine 🙂

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Think of Matty!

          Allan Nyom and Matt Phillips both saw efforts fly wide, while Hegazi sent a free header over the bar as Albion responded.

  8. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I have noticed this guy from New Zealand called Israel Adesanya. What an exciting fighter. Looking forward to see him getting the belt soon.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Captain him or Salah?

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

        Yeah sorry, I thought some guys from southern parts of the globe who are active now would recognise the guy 🙂 C Marcelo of course...I mean Mo 😉

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 6 Years

      Yeah he is talking a lot of trash to Brunson. Let's see if he can back it up

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years

        Yeah, may not be huge but his knee kicks hurt, his reach is San Francisco and his style is just so flamboyant and perfect. Flawless soldier.

    1. Champ

      1. Paulie Walnuts

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

            Heavy mids instead.

            1. semiconductor
              • 9 Years

              U satisfied by ur current frontline?

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

                I am confident in King and Arnie so to answer your question- Yes I am. But GL and all the best. It could work

                1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  So you did like my team 😉

    3. CaTriEm
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, reckon Auba could in top 4 highest goalscorers this season even if he is "out wide" which is almost a moot point given how fluid the front three are going to be.

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

        You going both?

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

          Yes, and Salah.

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

            Where is ur weak point? Mine is my 4th mid. Has to ve 5.0m

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

              I'm exactly the same. Going with Ralls since he's on penalties and the vast majority of set pieces, even though those with Hughes/Cairney/Neves are scoffing at the thought of owning a Cardiff midfielder.

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

                I'm currently on cairney who i haven't even seen. I had a thought to try and find 0.5m and go Fernandinho but I'm not doing that so far. Would u like to share ur team?

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

                  Only saw this now, If you're still on my team is;

                  Ederson/Hamer

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      Dont like the Wilson pick, especially when you have King

  11. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is there any chance Sorloth might start for Palace, or is it just wishful thinking by me?

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

      I have watched the guy and I think this business is not for him.

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

        Harsh. Still funny though.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He looks a good back-up striker for when Tekkers get subbed

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

        I thought so. Cheers!

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He's better than Benteke. But there will be rotation.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He played out of position when he got his chance last season. He's a #9 and should be playing up front.

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

    How many premium attackers you have in your team?
    I got 4: salah morata mane mahrez
    By the way, do you think cheap strikers like: zaha, arnie, mitrovic, king, benteke... Will score more or a premium defender else than mendy, robertson and walker?

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

      Since when is Morata classified as premium attacker?

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

        Premium is for price you pay. Not the points you gain

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

          Ok, so the conclusion is?

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Aiming for 4 too

      The 7 and below strikers will do well to top 150 and funnily enough the 6 def's will too. ppm is similar so it'll be about timing runs

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

        Good point

    3. yakirh

  13. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who do we reckon collects more points over the course of the entire season?

    Azpi + £0.5m vs Zaha vs Arnie.

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

      Eh?

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Essentially wording it as above because I’d rather not post what would essentially be a RMT where it doesn’t belong, haha.

        Wondering which is the better long term investment 🙂

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Draft game?

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Building a set and forget (Zombie) team with my pals and was wondering which is the best long term investment out of the three. Obviously the former allows an extra £0.5m to upgrade elsewhere too 🙂

        1. Petrichor II
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I assume u play 541 as more value at the back then

          1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Was actually thinking 4-4-2 as it gives the most flexibility regarding injuries! But I agree with you’re statement re: defenders.

            1. Petrichor II
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              No transfer... Should be good. Just do some math

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Azpi won't be doing much from full back this season and probably won't be in the bonus points so I'd rule him out. Probably arnie

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

      Depends on how you spend those 0.5, mate. As it is, I say Arnie though.

    5. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lol question

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

        Essentially wording it as above because I’d rather not post what would essentially be a RMT where it doesn’t belong, haha.

        Wondering which is the better long term investment 🙂

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

      I think Arnie...if i undertsand the question correctly

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

      Azpi has scored around 170 for the last 2 seasons with a 5ppm

      Last season Arnie and Zaha had Ppm scores of around 4.7, but I expect that to drop now they are strikers.

  14. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A. Mahrez, Auba
    B. Eriksen, Aguero
    C. Eriksen, Auba, no City attack

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      A

  15. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    This Man Utd "chaos" belief is utter rubbish. It's classic Mourinho. Now Utd are underestimated and he has put pressure on Woodward to deliver two new signings. Sanchez looks like a beast in preseason, Pogba will be unleashed in attack thanks to Fred, Shaw is looking good, and they will probably sign a CB and maybe a winger. Utd look in very good shape and if Lee Grant is anyone to go by, the squad atmosphere couldn't be better. Media hype that has had everyone talking, nothing else. Beware an underestimated Utd and beware an underestimated Mourinho team.

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

      While I do agree that United is not as chaotic as it seems to be, I also think you're overestimating third season Mourinho (and Luke Shaw)

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

        "third season Mourinho" is bs 🙂

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

          Is it? At first glance it really does look like bs, but I mean... imagine working with Mourinho for two straight seasons.

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

          this

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Fair play but I think Maureen wants Pogba to play like he did for France and that's not getting many fpl points

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      They don't seem as split as the media suggests. Lukaku's comments are normal and they seem quite happy. Man Utd still have to do a lot to become an exciting fpl prospect though

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Possibly true on Pogba Netley, but then why else did Mou sign Fred? He's not going to play Fred, Matic and Pog holding and he won't bench any of them. Bailly is essentially like a new signing, and you would think Lindelof will have bedded in by now. Thank heavens we are getting rid of Rojo, awful player

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          If you get Toby, who will partner him?

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

            bailly

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I think he saw what Pogba is really best at, dominating a side of the park without risking what's behind him. Those 3 can all do that and there's plenty forward and wide to support.

    4. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Everyone in the squad seems happy and in training they are enjoying their time but the media loves a bit of drama and put quotes that fits their narrative only.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Seconded Zilla. Utd sells. So does Mourinho. For sure those stories got great hits. Mourinho did go too far though.

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

      sanchez looks like a new signing Pereira looks good then there is fred and it looks like toby is coming in the next 48 hours which should relegate the chuckle brothers to the bench
      not quite as bad as people are making out

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Lol chuckle brothers. I have a soft spot for big Phil, even though he's about as much finesse as a rhino on rollerskates. We need to move on from them. If it weren't for DDG, they'd be long gone.

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

          his facial gurns are something else

      Haha, ok

  16. FredrikH
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Considering a punt on shurrle (6m) since I can't afford Richarlison. Worth?

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

      I wouldn't spend 6.0 on Schurrle. Not with those stats.

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

        Where do you get the stats???

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I was considering it, I thought it's better to go with jota and richarlison. Schurrle has a chance but won't score big

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

        Moura is so tempting for me. Will consider it though.

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

      Bad stats, doesn't convince me at all.

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

        Where do you get the stats???

    Thoughts on Cedric and Ryan to Duffy and Patricio?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Brighton's fixtures improve gw8

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

      Can't you just do ryan>patricio?

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

        Cedric missing GW1 plus him and his team are a bit s**t

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

      Ryan solidly planted in my team. No chance

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

        Have Ryan and Fab, not good fixtures for rotating.

  19. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I wasn't paying much attention to him but I am seriously considering getting Alexis. Nice price tag and if it won't work, hello Eden.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He will do the business

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

        Not going to captain him v Foxes BUT hoping he delivers.

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

      i have him currently and if the wheels fall of he can become KDB or hazard

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

    Seems I got a serious problem for my gw2. But I want all those players long term!
    Luiz: arsenal
    Morata: arsenal
    Mitrovic: tottenham
    Benteke/zaha: liverpool
    Cedric: everton away

    1. Schliegs

      Tough fixtures aren’t the end of the world, remember form > fixture

  21. FredrikH
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A. Moura Costa Agüero Firmino
    B. Mane Jota Laca Arnie

    On A, thinking about going B. B seems more template. AmIrite

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B because I would never consider Costa to start gw1.

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

    Play 2:

    A) Keane (wol a)
    B) mee (sou a)
    C) schlupp (ful a)
    D) daniels (car h)

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

      That’s tough, I’d happily start all of them.

      I guess Daniels and Mee

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mee and Daniels

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Need Palace... Schlupp and Mee

  23. Schliegs
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A) Zaha + Mahrez
    B) Auba + 5m

    Current team

    Salah Sanch ____ Cairney Odoi
    Kun ____ Arnie

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

      A

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A. would never want 2x 5.0 mid and 1 4.5 mid.

  25. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Quick question lads:

    Had Bednarek usurped Peltier as the 2nd most likely 4m defender looking like he will start consistently?

    Thanks in advance :mrgreen:

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

      Who’s the first? WB?

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        indeed. jack simpson of bournemouth has been starting a great deal too. the yellow peltier status is making me nervous.

    2. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I don’t think so? He was taken off at half time today for Stephens. Peltier seems to have less competition.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No, they lost 3-0 at home and he'll be benched

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years

        thanks guys

    What are people’s thoughts on Mkhitaryan? I’ve got him currently sitting in my squad but haven’t really thought about it too much. Think there are any other better options?

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

      I think he's one of the best options in his price range... if not the best

        Why is Tom on the expert panel?

        His rank last season was atrocious. You have such disdain for podcasters with a poor rank. How does he get away with it?

      Virgil, have you ever missed a scout cast? I am asking this because I used to be hooked on it. I stopped watching it and I just became a better man 🙂 If you know what I mean

        Nah. The scoutcast is my favourite TV program.

    After tonight's game I think this is s valid question:

    A. Alisson + 0.5m
    B. Robbo

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

      What u mean? Robbo is most value

      Valid question would be 2 players vs 2 players in same combo of position and price.

      Robbo. Some gem in 4.5 keeper may catch premium keeper output imo

      Great question. Depends on what you can do with the extra 0.5m in your team.
