The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

This week the ScoutCast crew are determined to bust the myth that they share identical strategies.

Long-term maverick Luke returns to reveal his freshly Wildcarded team which bravely went into Gameweek 2 without Manchester City’s hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero and last season’s points-scoring sensation Mohamed Salah.

In stark contrast, Az is continuing his march up the rankings thanks to his faith in this premium pair, and his resolve in resisting broadsheet tittle-tattle hinting that the Argentinian would be dropped.

David is also beating a different drum and keen to explain the reasons behind his chequered FPL history and how his fortunes already look better this time around.

That leaves me as the only dullard representative, armed with a bunch of ownership statistics, a goals imminent table and a dubious ‘camping’ excuse to explain my recent poor captaincy decision.

Our differing views across a range of key issues facing Fantasy Premier League manages ahead of Gameweek 3 are aired.

Our assessment of Chelsea and Arsenal assets ahead of their favourable fixtures is top of our list. And we also ponder whether Spurs’ players can compete as assets this season and indulge in some bargain hunting up front.

    This season we have seen 100 point hauls in the first two weeks with 3 defenders on over 20 points yet only 1 forward with 20 points plus. This game never ceases to surprise.

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

      only 2 weeks now. Have faith

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

      5-4-1 is the future

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

        Alonso Robertson Mendy Bissaka is the future!

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Tend to agree. WB is gold and equivalent of a 5.5 defender. Only Fraser has similar value in attack.

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

            If Bissaka continues to impress, in a few weeks he'll be close to 5.5m mate ahah

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

    I have 2 problem now. Mahrez price due to fall and Luke Shaw injured. I did not have a backup def btw, Wan Bissaka & Bednarek. Which options the best?

    A) Transfer out Mahrez > Mkhi, Hope Shaw start.
    B) Wait news on Luke Shaw and if out transfer Pereira (due to rise too).

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B

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

        B sensible option. But A is a risk that could pay off

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

    What's happened with Luke Shaw? Knock? He fall out of bed?

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Slipped on a kebab whilst coming out of the shower.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Poor hygiene.

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

        If a guy does that once, it can happen. But there comes a time in a man's life when he has to stop bringing his kebab meat into the bathroom.

  4. WOLVES AY WE
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Am I crazy for thinking Schlupp has a more than great chance of outscoring Zaha most weeks? OOP attacking role, clean sheet bonus, 2.5 cheaper, what am I missing?

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

      Place isn’t secure

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pass me that spliff!

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

      Yes crazy talk

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      The bit you are missing is the fact that Schlupp is no Zaha....

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

      He scored his debut goal 2 weeks ago in 40th appearance

  5. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    On -4. G2G or anything worth another hit?

    Fab
    VVD Mendy Tomkins
    Salah (c) Dilva Mkhi Rich
    Kun Firmino Ings

    Foster Anguissa Peltier AWB

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

      G2G for now

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

        Who would you be looking to ship next? Need to get Alonso in so Firmino's head is on the block!

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

          Firmino I think. Zaha not a bad choice too if you looking to get Alonso.

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

          I'd monitor Firm Bilva and Tomkins on that side.

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

            Cheers! Yep thinking of Tomkins for Alonso.

            I've gone with Dilva so hoping he's not too effected by Pep's rotation!

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

              Oh my bad. Dilva should be fine. Tomkins and Firm then. Good setup no matter what. Gl

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

      Play Fostet

  6. Khark
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I fully expect to be riding solo here.

    Harry Kane (c)

    Jones Smalling Lindelof Bailey

    No matter which 2 of the above 4 numpties grumpy plays, Kane will take them to the cleaners.

    I hope everyone enjoys the incoming Salah 2 pointer!

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

      Good luck with that

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

      Clutching re Salah!

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

        100% haha

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

      Kane might perform but that won’t affect Salah’s output two days prior

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

    Lucas Moura & King
    To
    Mkhitaryan & Wilson

    Free transfers

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

      Or Mitrovic instead of Wilson ?

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

      Seems a good move!

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

      Mitrovic nice too.

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

      Holding King myself for one more week with a FT still available. Liking the flexibility if bad turn of events.

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

        Im almost set on getting Wilson. Im thinking lucas againest Man United could be interesting and have my doubts on Arsenal?

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

          Don't doubt. Two goals vs the two best defensive teams in the league is decent. Fixtures easing up while spurs the opposite. Agree on Moura, he's looking sharp. Go Wilson if you feel like it.

  8. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Rmt

    Set and ready for WC?

    Hennessy-Ryan

    Robbo-Alonso-mendy-Cook-AWB

    Mane-Dilva-Richarlison-Pedro-4.5

    Aguero-Aub-Wilson

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not my cup of tea to be going without Salah.

      Low scores from Auba and Aguero this week with a big haul at Brighton from Slab and Your going to be wanting to tear your wildcard team apart.

      For a Salah less team it’s good though.

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Expect salah to haul big this week but then go quiet after for a bit, could be my downfall.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Just realised my iPhone autocorrect called Salah “slab” 😆

          Good luck anyway though, like I said it’s a good Salah less team.

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

          Do what I’m doing.

          Bet on Salah will ease the pain

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

      I am still a Salah-team guy, I still see him as an excellent FPL player despite the very high price.

      Great defence. Great front 3.

      David - too much of a rotation risk for now I would say, or at least I think he'll at max 60 min. If he proves to be nailed, then at his price he is great value.
      Mane, Richarlison and Pedro - like them a lot and see great potential

  9. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is King to Ings/Mitrovic/Wilson worth a transfer? I feel like he could still outscore all of them.

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

      Sideways. Not my cup of tea.

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

      I am keeping King for this GW, but definitely monitoring Ings, Mitro and Wilson closely. Disappointing start for King and the others seem in good form

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I moved him for Mendy funds. Doesn't look to have carried his preseason form in to PL yet, though he's always capable

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

    Thoughts on Davies & Bilva > Alonso & Mhki (-4)?

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

      Bilva to Mhki and avoid the hit for now. Low scoring game on OT I'd imagine.

  11. Dave Dreamer
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pereira vs Chilwell?

    Seems obvious but I was really impressed with Chilwell.

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

      Just transfer who you like. 🙂

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Chilwell was fun last season. Little worried about Fuchs getting the nod if he shows his inexperience again. Pereira has Simpson as (no) competition, and he's Puel's guy (so long as Puel doesn't get the boot)

  12. UKG
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Neves to Mhki? - no other Arsenal cover.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Free ? Easiest transfer ever

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

      Seems a obvious yes, however this game always tends to surprise us

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

    Can anyone please convince me that Salah is a better pick than Kun this GW?

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

      He is.

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

        convinced

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just go with what you feel is right both are stand out options, my money is on Salah because he is at home v Brighton

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

        I think Salah will do well but Aguero will score more, Wolves didn't really show that they're good till now specially at defending.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Jesus favoured for away games when guy last season, though I'm naively hoping both will start again.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        'when both fit last season'

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

        Yeah, I remember something like this. Could you provide me the stats if you have em?

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I don't, just an 'IIRC' moment 🙂

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

      Liverpool at Anfield always into big scoring. Plus, Brighton have problem in CB. Dunk out, Salah (TC).

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

        Didn't know that Dunk is out, cheers.

    5. lfc1996
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Early kick off, when he blanks it will ruin the rest of the weekend

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

        Meh, remember capping Kane last year vs Soton for his hattrick 😎 but yeah could be a point

    1. Thinkering like a Boss

      I transfer in Pedro, hopefully he start

    Do we expect Bilva to continue in a deeper role?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Deeper? Look at his average position vs HUD. He was 2nd highest on the pitch behind only Aguero. I think you’re getting confused with the wing-back formation. I think Walker returns and Bilva plays centrally in the mids

      1. adam28193
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Who drops out for him?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Jesus, and/or one of Gundo/Fernandinho

      2. I Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Finally somebody else actually looked at his average position. It seems like people just saw the lineup and assumed he was playing deep.

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

      I would be more worried about him starting or not. If he keeps starting he’ll get enough points to justify 7.5

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years

    Jose is planning wholesale changes for the Spurs game. Matic and returns of Valencia, Jones and Young on the left will see major bus parking.

      Keeping Eriksen?

      1. Legomané

        Think so, this wk

    3. SADIO SANÉ

      C but Pedro

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        could go horribly wrong if those two play though

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

      Love the frontline.

      Awful midfield and bench however and the defence could be improved.

      I’d wildcard. But I must say I am also on WC.

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

        Then again you’ve missed a lot of value in wildcarding so maybe not as clear cut for you now it’s wednesday.

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I'm happy with 4 of my defenders (excl Pelts), and was relying on a start from AWB in GW3 when i made my early moves. Costa is a problem, Kenedy has been frustrating (a 1on1 and pen away from 2 goals) but at least he's not got a retrospective ban.

        Annoyingly, the intention was to have 4 outfield starters that would rotate in and out of the bench - i.e 15 starters to cover City rotation etc. 3 wks in and I could easily field 10 or less this wk!

    5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    Eriksen + Davies >> Pedro + Alonso for free before price fall ?

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

      Yes

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mkhitaryan?

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

      When it free, sounds good imo. If pedro starts.

    Anyone else worried that Bilva isn't going to keep his place alongside dilva and fern in a midfield 3 ? I fear that pep will favourite gundogan to take up the pressing role which kdb excuted so well. And pep seems so favour Mahrez on the right if they play 433 or possibly sterling with sane coming in on the left

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

      No I’m not worried. Rotation is part of the game, just make sure your bench is acceptable and ride the waves.

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

      No I'll assess if situation comes about rather than creating hypotheticals to move on most reasonably priced entry into City attack

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nothing to suggest that Gundogan or Mahrez are preferred to him.

  22. PvA

    Does anyone subscribe to the notion that you could win FPL if you get an average of around 66 points per week?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. If your average is 66 you're on for a huge overall score.

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

        A lot of people have surpassed that in the first 2 weeks

        It'll be tough to maintain that but it's a brilliant start for some

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

          Over a million currently average over 66

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

      If that is more than anyone else gets, yes.

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

        Oh is that how it works yeah?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Of course, that's over 2500 right?

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

        yep

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

        Yeah, it's pretty crazy because that seems doable

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          My average last season with 3-5-2 was around 67 (about half the season). 4-4-2/3-4-3 averaged around 60.

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

            I'm not sure formation is important tbh... it's about the players in the formation

            There is an article that went into it, do you want me to link it?

            1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Of course it's about the players...

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

      Not if someone averages 67

  23. EgyptianKing

    5 years, 9 months ago

    What is your opinion on Pedro starting next GW?

    I think he will, even if Hazard starts as well. Did good in first 2 GWs and it seems Sarri wants to still increase Pedro's confidence and returns.

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

      Think he’s a starter under Sarri. Offers something different to Hazard and Willian with his runs in behind

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

        Agree.

        Let's see if Sarri confirms this.... ahah

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

      Does it seem that way or are you projecting your wishes ?

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

        Well I watched Chelsea's first two fixtures and was positively impressed by Pedro's performances, after a good pre-season as well.

        Having performed well, creating some good chances and materializing them with two goals, I think Sarri will still give him some decent gametime even when Hazard in. Moses, however, is a threat under my radar.

        Next couple of GWs will be crucial to understand how Hazard will best fit in that midfield.

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

          I think he’s outplayed William and should start but I’m not Sarri and wouldn’t want to guess, I’ll get him in when it’s proven but not now

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

            Yes, I understand your point.

            From next weekend onwards we'll be here discussing it!

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, i think he's a starter now for sarri

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

        Hope so!

      as above unless tosun gets a hatfull

    3. gilean

      B next week. Don't hit

  25. Gorbitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I got 15 points out of Shaw but now with injury concerns, threat from Young and poor United defensive performance, Im thinking of getting rid.

    Is it wise to do;
    Shaw -> Peltier
    Jota -> Dilva
    ?

    Exact funds and 2 ft

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

      Wouldn't agree with that.

    2. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Peltier may not play much going forward - was left off the side last week.

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

      Downgrade Jota
      Upgrade Shaw for like Alonso

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

      Im downgrading King to afford Alonso, maybe you can do some kind of downgrad-upgrade move if you dont already have Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, maybe Trippier, Davies, some premium instead of fodder?

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

      One of worst transfer because of Peltier. Unless you have 3 solid def then yes.

    6. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw out is fine but not those replacements

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

        Thanks a lot.
        I know the 4.0s is risky. Bench weak. But really do think Dilva could be worth it.

        Would give me:

        Foster
        Mendy Robbo Tomkins
        Salah Mane Dilva Rich
        Kun Arnie Mitrovic
        (Patricio, Stephens, wan-bis, Pelt)

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

      By all means get rid but shaw for Peltier just sounds all kinds of wrong .. especially when it’s just to afford a rotation risk in Silva.

      Yes to getting rid of Shaw and Jots

      No to replacing them with Peltier and Dilva

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

      I would consider upgrading Shaw to Alonso/Mendy/Bellerin
      And downgrade Jota to Fraser

  26. Zlatsabeauty
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Patrico
    Mendy, Robertson, Cedric
    Salah, Richarlison, B Silva, Mkhi
    King, Aguero, Mitrovic

    Subs: Hamer, Stephens, Shaw, Wan-B

    A) Would you take a 4 point hit for King to Ings
    B) Would you take a 4 point hit for B Silva to Mane or Pedro
    C) Leave it as it is
    D) Any other suggestions welcome

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

      I'd save and start shaw.

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      leave

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

      Nothing worth -4 except Bilva > Mane but I hold.

  27. Richd

    Scoutcast isn’t the same without mark/Granville

    I love the other guys they all add something great but I feel the personable relationship we have built up with mark and Granville knowing all their moves and living many seasons with them is a big reason this site has stood the test of time against all the copycats.

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

      There’s very little argument or the same level of competition mark and granny had. Could be any podcast now, bland and civil.

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

      Are they both officially gone from the scoutcast?

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

        Marks got some personal issues I believe. He did say during the first Scoutcast he’d come on as a guest but wasn’t hosting.

        Granville is involved in politics now I believe so too busy most the time.

        I guess people move on but I really did enjoy their rivalry and we can all relate to it.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      With all due respect I simply can't listen to a guy who hasn't come in the top 170k despite playing for twice as long as me.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It's funny after all the evolving the original Mark 'n Granville Pod is the thing I miss the most.

      Great chemistry.

    Who to play?

    A) TAA

    Or

    B) Maddison

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      taa

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

      Would play both, whole team?

  29. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bilva or Dilva?

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

      Probably Dilva

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

      I have Bilva but he didnt do anything in 6 goals so having doubts, will give him next week though. Dilva rotation risk so not sure about that either

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

      Dilva

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

      Dilva proven vs Bilva guesswork?

  30. Jayv807
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Would appreciate any thoughts on this WC draft. 2 premiums for each of def, mid and fwd but a couple of really budget options to fill out the team.

    Fabri, Hamer
    Mendy, Robbo, Cook, Duffy, AWB
    Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser, 4.5
    Kun, Auba, Ings

    Plan would be to stick with this for 2 weeks and then decide if a premium option should go.

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

      Looks very good bar the goalies

      1. Jayv807
