The best set-piece takers and targets for FPL Gameweek 2

Fantasy Premier League managers are encouraged to factor the Gameweek 2 set-piece match-ups in their transfer plans in the next few days.

In the first of a new series of Members articles we will assess where set play situations can be exploited each week.

Where this differs from the set-pieces tab is that we have added extra detail on how many of each set-piece has been taken so far, which players have had the most attempts from set-plays in terms of goal efforts, as well as how like teams are to receive or give away free kicks or penalties.

That way, by comparing each team’s overall set-piece data to find any mismatches, individuals expected to benefit from these situations will become clearer.

We ran similar articles during the World Cup and found them to helpful to Fantasy managers, hence why we have decided to bring them to FPL.

Obviously we only have round of data so far so it may difficult to find too many over-arching trends right now, but we’ll be building on this template every week for Members to use when making their transfers or deciding on team selection.

Any differences between the takers here and on the set-pieces tab are purely because that individual is not available in Gameweek 2. For example, Junior Stanislas is an important figure in set-pieces for Bournemouth but will not feature at West Ham through injury, so we have removed him the list of potential takers for this weekend’s match.

    One team you should avoid like the plague this year is Southampton.

    Saints Fan.

      Agree. Only one I'm liking the look of is McCarthy.

        5 years, 8 months ago

        It's a shambles, God knows how we clawed a draw v Burnley.

        Probably our best result of the season, I'd rather go and watch the grannies bowling down the park.

      Don't disagree. I think you'll be in the Championship next season, unfortunately. (Villa fan).

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

        5 years, 8 months ago

        Slim chance with the promoted sides looking Meh! and Brighton of course.

        Will be tight.

      As a Saints fan, do you think Bednarek will get any gametime the following weeks? Had him on my bench GW1, and he'll probably stay there regardless, but I'm afraid that he'll decrease in value if he doesn't get any minutes soon.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think so the way Hughsies setting up.

        Heres our local rag with some insight.

          • 9 Years

          Cheers. Fingers crossed that he'll stay at 4.0 until it's Wildcard-time.

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'd ditch seriously.

        1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I probably will, but after one gameweek it feels like a waste to use the free transfer on Bednarek -> Peltier/Bennett, since they'd all be on one of the last spots on my bench anyway.

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Hope his price holds for you..gl 🙂

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have hart atm. He has a decent fixture this weekend but his place a littlr uncertain. Would kike to hear from Burnley supporters on this one. Hennessey looks better after this weekend. Defence every bit as good and easier fixtures whereby set and forget an option.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        He's fallen further than his dandruff that fella!

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

      How about Ings at 5.5m? I currently own Jiminez and don't see the need for any imminent trade but potentially one in the future.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Gives us some pace which is desperately needed but everything feels wrong about the team as a whole. My best advice is the one I posted ...avoid all.

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

      Ings looked worth consideration if he can nail his place in the first 11.

  2. Bleach †
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So in order to upgrade Luiz to Mendy next week, would you rather downgrade:

    A) Ederson → GK priced 4.9 or lower..
    B) B.Silva → Mid priced 6.9 or lower..

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Why upgrade, i would keep Luiz.

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I really want Mendy..

        1. DRIZ ✅
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Both are nailed mate. Sarri likes Luiz and shares set-pieces

          1. Bleach †
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Alright, thanks for your help!

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

      I would keep Luiz and change someone else

      Silva to Fraser can allow your 3rd defender to Mendy

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Afaik, Luiz not 100% nailed, someone else could be Shaw, but then the mid should be cheaper than 6.4..

        Will keep an eye on Fraser, thanks.

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Shaw won't be nailed when Young and Tony V are back - Lindeloff is worth keeping an eye on though...

          1. Bleach †
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Wouldn't want to go with Lindeloff, I think Bailly is the only nailed CB. But yeah, will monitor the situation with Shaw.

            1. Going Home
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I only said to keep an eye on him. The fact that he kept a fully fit and refreshed Chris Smalling on the bench is an interesting development

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      b

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Noted.

    4. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A, otherwise you'll have city Double defence. plenty of options at 4.5.

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, what 4.5 GK would you recommend? RP or Hart perhaps?

          1. Bleach †
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Good lad.

    5. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy surely even more a weigh up your options player now? You missed the haul, he's not doing that every week

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        True, but I think he'll be most scoring defender by the end of the season, or 2nd after Robertson..

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          He certainly could be. But then again, I've seen comments that Pep wasn't happy with his defensive performance. Whether that will result in him spending more time deeper, or being rotated more, is hard to say. But remember when Pep wasn't happy with Kun's lack of tracking back and he spent a bit of time on the bench?

          Obviously potentially a great asset, but I want to see a bit more before making the move

          1. Bleach †
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, read something about Pep's comments regarding Mendy aswell.. but if he tones down on attacking a bit, he still should be pretty nailed, as who is Pep really going to play LB/LWB,,

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

      Wait a week. Then do a double trade including Shaw and Silva.

      1. Bleach †
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers!

  3. One Man
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is bennet nailed for wolves ?

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looks it

    2. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Dendoncker?

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Listed as a mid but could play cb.

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on formation...with 3 in the back - pretty much nailed...unfortunately will drop if they play 4 at the back.
      I still have him as for 4.0 its a bargain...also have Peltier and WB 😉
      Nice combo with Mendy and VVD.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wolves fans reckon he’s most nailed in the 3. Saiss/Coady more likely to lose out to dendoncker

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

      Not nailed. He could be benched for Dendoncker. Nobody is quite sure at the moment. Keep if you own. Don't bring in at the moment if you don't.

  4. Atom&Humber
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Leno
    Mendy TAA AWB
    Salah richarlison jota Fraser
    Auba Aguero(c) Firmino

    Hamer Peltier Tomkins gunnarson

    Save ft? Bit annoyed with Leno but shall I wait it out anyway? Cheers

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Leno will start next game, Cech not the right GK to play from the back.

  6. One Man
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best keeper to rotate with Hart ?

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hamer - 4.0 and just fire and forget JH

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        This is what I am doing. Can always swap to another 4.5 depending on fixtures. Hennessey fixtures are tasty also

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

      Heaton 😮

    3. joeydelucchi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      do we think Hart has taken no.1?? surely heaton and Pope are better?

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You would think so but the decision to get hart in the first place as soon as pope got injured says a little more about the fitness of heaton. Very good value 4.5 goalie as playing for burnley. Worth a gamble if you are confirtable with the idea he could be dropped at any moment.

  7. Arn De Gothia
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can a team without bighitter forward do ok? I think so

    Bego / Foster

    Alonso / Robbo / Davies / Mendy (WB)

    Salah / Mane / kDB / Richardlison / Maddison

    Joselu / Jiminez / King

    9 great starters with 3 Captain choises. upfront thin yes, but starters and gets random points

    1. Pauntley
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Joselu may not be a starter for long with Rondon likely to start soon

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        ok, thnx, any cheepo will do

    2. £27.6m in sterling si…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I went with firminho upfront and 2 4.5s. Leaves me with 5-4-1

      Kepa 4.0
      Robbo/mendy/davies/shaw/darmian
      Salah/eriksen/mahrez/moura (neves)
      4.5 4.5 firminho.

      +0.5 itb admittedly took a few risks with shaw/darmian/moura/mahrez but decent players at their price points when i can change

      Neves was Maitland-Niles before he got injured

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        brave

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Is that a wildcard? I don't like it. Joselu will be out very soon for Rondon. It is similar to my team to a degree but I have Kun and you have Mane. It lacks a bit of flexibility.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        thnx. no, just a plan. have kun now

    4. Congressman
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Too much money spent on defenders for my liking.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        thnx, i was thinkins so before also, not so sure anymore

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It did okay last week but I wouldn't be confortable without at least one big forward going forward. Not for me thanks

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        It hurts more whn the "big ones" fail

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Bench one:

    A TAA (cpl)
    B mitrovic (tot)
    C king (whu)

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B

  9. Sir David White
      5 years, 8 months ago

      For the next 6-8weeks:

      Pickford - Neves - Aubameyang

      Kepa - KDB - Jiminez

      1. TEKKERS FC
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Top 1, maybe either Leno or Cech could be better at 5.0

        1. Sir David White
            5 years, 8 months ago

            If I had any certainty which one was starting they would be in!

        2. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I like the 2nd one (I own KDB & Jiminez already). But it definitely isn't worth a -8.

      2. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        hey guys, G2G?

        DDG
        Mendy Robbo Bailly WBissaka
        Salah Kante Sanchez
        Kun King Arnie

        Stek; Jota, Carnie, peltier

        1. xploring
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Arnie injury doubt at the moment, Kante over Jota?!

        2. Skhstanley
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          team looks good, but I would sub off Bailly, not a guaranteed clean sheet imo. And maybe Sanchez for KDB as well

      3. TEKKERS FC
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Is Vardy nailed to start this week?

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I would have thought so

        2. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Looks that way. A largely forgotten good option around here.

      4. joeydelucchi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I can move to this in 4 moves, going to do it asap over next 2 gw's:

        foster (4.0)
        Robbo - PVA - Mendy (WB Pelt)
        salah - mahrez - hazard - fraser (masuaku)
        zaha - firm - arnie

        thoughts, can i do better?

      5. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Cedric could be 4.4 end of the week. Bargain right there

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Hope soton concede vs everyone and I can pick him up at 4.3 🙂

              • 9 Years

              Well, if they concede vs everyone you'll surely be able to get him at 4.3 at some point 🙂

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Well there is a quite high chance that they'll concede vs everyone 😉

          2. Holmes
            • 10 Years

            They will probably concede vs everyone 😮

              • 14 Years

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            More as backup alongside Awb Peltier and 2 premiums

            1. Demel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              I wouldn't fancy fielding one of those 3 every week.

          Not going anywhere near Southampton!

      6. BieberIsTheKingOfPop
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why did Hamer start vs Chelsea? Is the 1st choice now?

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Lossl should come back in. Was at the world cup

          1. Going Home
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I refuse to believe that a third choice keeper whose team didn't make the knock out round didn't start the first game of the season because of the World Cup; particularly as he was on the bench.

            I agree that Lossl is a better keeper, but I don't see any reason why Hamer wouldn't be the perfect second keeper for any squad (whether or not he starts)

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

          To quote Wagner, Lossl is facing some 'issues'. Whether it be physical or mental is unclear, though.
          Lossl is miles better than Hamer, though. Once these issues have been lifted, Lossl should reclaim his place in the XI.

        3. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I would steer clear.

      7. Just a fountain
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Morning gents,
        In the case King is not the one, i may need to downgrade him eventually. What are the replacements?
        1. Joselu is not mentionned that much, but at 5.0, hard to see better value; what % of games are we expecting him to play?
        2. Ings is interesting. How many games would you need to consider him "nailed"? 4 consecutive starts?
        3. Jimenez 5.5. Decent option. nailed?
        4. Reid may play, but not convinced that team will score any goal this year.
        With strong wing backs with the odd rotation risk in my team, im not sure i want to go for the nonplaying 4.5 option yet.
        Thoughts? Am i missing anyone?

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Also contemplating similar. All depends what happens this weekend but thinking of downgrading to Jimenez so i can improve my midfield.
          Possible switch to Mitrovic is another i'm keeping an eye on.

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

          Jimmy for me. Will be keeping an eye on him.over the coming GW's

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

          1. Joselu has done this before. played well early part of the season, and became irrelevant after. He's one of those players who can't pass/hold the ball. Didnt watch the game vs Spurs, but he was like that last season. Wouldn't ride on his bandwagon too quickly.
          2. As a Saints fan, I think he SHOULD start. Doesn't mean he will, Im not Hughes. But he and Elyounoussi definitely lifted the attack when they came on.
          3. Jimenez is nailed for the time being imo. Best value below-6.0 striker.
          4. Reid played CF only because Zohore was not fit. He will play in a no.10 role once Zohore comes back into the XI.

          Overall, Ings I feel is best, but need to wait to see how nailed he is. Jimenez also a good choice.

        4. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I said before the season and nothing has changed my mind. Jiminez is great value. He is being supplied by the most attacking, creative team outside the top 6 and is 5.5m. There is nothing not to like.

          1. Y26 Royal
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Think i saw a post of yours and had Jimenez before changing him to King last week. How i wished i'd listened to ya mate!

        5. Just a fountain
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Thank you for all the comments guys! I would like play 442 or 352, but the lack of cheap 3rd striker option is a problem. For now Jimenez looks like the less risky pick. We ll see in a few weeks.

        6. Just a fountain
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          The only thing i dont like with jimenez is that he doesnt have a track record of scoring much.

      8. One Man
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Best 6.5m Forward ?

        1. joeydelucchi
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          mitro

        2. ponsio22
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mitrovic

        3. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          To early to tell. Keep an eye on King, Wood and Mitro this weekend.

          1. joeydelucchi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            mitro = Talisman
            King and wood and any other 6.5 not

            1. Y26 Royal
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Still think it's too early to tell. We don't know if Mitro can perform in the Prem yet (he didn't with Newcastle). Wood's stats at the end of last year were good but might get rotated with Burnley in Europe. King has the potential to score a lot as he has before but didn't last year. I wouldn't say which is the best as we need to assess. Jimenez also one to keep an eye on.

        4. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Jiminez (save a mil).

        5 years, 8 months ago

        @eriksen owners
        If he blanks this week, we’re getting rid of him until later on right?

        1. Southsea FC
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I think so. If I get rid it will be to get Hazard in - we'll see.

        2. drughi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          for sure

      10. YoungPretender
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        What is everyone doing with Sanchez? Getting rid of him seems premature, however an easy swap to KDB for Huddersfield at home is tempting! No other pressing issues in my team.

        1. Skhstanley
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Coz Sanchez was great in pre-season, but he looked shite last game... Is KDB nailed to start next game tho.

        2. TaiwanHC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Definitely holding

      11. joeydelucchi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Pick 1:

        a - Fraser,
        b - Deleufeu
        c - Kenedy + 0.5
        d - Kante + 0.5
        e - anyone else?

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

          Fraser imo. Played very well, arguably MOTM.

          1. joeydelucchi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            yes...this is what i am thinking

        2. Fire Chief Moe
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          A

        3. BadgersBoys

          E) Maddison

          1. Y26 Royal
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I agree, think he's gonna have a good season and want him in soon.

          2. joeydelucchi
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            hes too much i think? is he 6.5?

        2. zizoo10

          Do it

        3. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years

          Hell no! Did you watch Spurs at the weekend?!

        4. BadgersBoys

        Would you make any changes or hold and make 2 next week.

        Patricio
        Daniels Mendy Robertson
        Sanchez Mane Eriksen Cairney
        Aguero Firminho Rashford

        Subs - Speroni Wan-Bissaka Peltier Hudson-Odoi

        My main issues over next few games are around Patricio and Rashford

        1. Chilli Heatwave

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Any others on Patricio/Speroni? You plan on sticking to this or looking to find 0.5 and bring in Begovic or foster for your other option?

          • 12 Years

          I am not convinced by PVA. I think he will be outscored by Luiz/Bailly in the coming weeks.

          1. camarozz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

          Tonight

        2. Qaiss

          On tonight at 9pm

      18. Pauntley
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Is it worth doing King to Arnautovic? I kept 0.5 in the bank for this reason. Now I'm not so sure because a) West Ham looked poor against Liverpool and they have hard fixtures coming up and b) I'm now contemplating going for a cheaper option like Jiminez and upgrading midfield.

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

          keep King, played well, will be in the points soon

        2. Y26 Royal
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Hold for this GW. I'm thinking of King to Jimenez for the same reason. Will see what happens at the weekend.

        3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years

          Not worth it over saving IMO

        4. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          King to Jiminez (but bank the transfer).

      19. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'm concerned about Palaces home form to the big boys, and Salah was quiet there last season. However, Aguero is a rotation risk.. Mendy captain anyone?

        1. Bleach †
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Lot's of talk about it here, but in the end a very few have the balls to do it..

        2. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Salah was quiet there but scored - why play against the probabilities this early on?

          1. Jules Rimet
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            You captaining Salah and not Aguero, is that what im hearing?

      20. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        A) Salah, Cairney and King
        Or
        B) Mané, De Bruyne and Joselu

      21. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Southampton 18 shots
        Burnley 16 shots

        FT 0-0

        what does it mean to you?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years

          That nobody won.

        3. Jafalad
          • 14 Years

          Ignore forwards from both teams?

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            but Burnley are supposed to be good at defending, but conceded 18 shots vs poor Soton...

            1. Jafalad
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              The EL might affect their PL performances this season which is why I'm ignoring them.

        4. Bleach †

        Only one round to go on but what is your thoughts about the gk situation?

        I went Ederson and a little owned 4.0 nobody to prevent price drops. Ederson got 8 points including 2 bonus but Mendy was a large success. Already have two CTY attackers so it came down to Ederson or Mendy and I always look for the cheapest way into d.

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Expensive keepers are never worth it. At the end of the season a Brighton double up will be up there with the best.

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

            DDG was worth it last year. Not that I had him.

          2. Jafalad
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            DDG was the keeper to be on last year and the recent gk article made it clear he was the best fantasy gk last season so I'm not sure about your first statement.

            Not seen any value gks yet but early days. Hoping Patricio comes good.

          Patricio and Hamer did nothing for me and that looks set to continue.

          1. Skokym
            • 10 Years

            same here, fingerss crossed though

          2. Jafalad
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Patricio interested me but I'm wary about newly promoted teams. Prefer to monitor to begin. Let's see what the next two weeks brings.
