This latest members’ article looks at the performances of the top-flight clubs this season from an underlying statistics point of view.

The aim is to pinpoint which areas all of the Premier League teams are strong in, as well as highlighting any weaknesses that the key performance indicators might betray.

Each statistic is ranked in relation to the other Premier League sides, with 1st being the best and 20th the worst. For example, Manchester City are marked as 1st for expected goals conceded (xGC) as this is the lowest figure in the whole of the division.

We have also calculated the 20 clubs’ average FPL fixture difficulties (where 2.00 is the easiest fixture and 5.00 is the toughest, according to the ratings given in the game itself) from Gameweeks 1-8 in order to give some context – and mitigation where needed – as to the rankings.

    So i did that terrible Kun > Kane for a hit last week. Now i cant decide what to do the upcoming GW. What do you think.

    A) Kane > Kun
    B) Kane, PVA > Kun, Robbo
    C) Trippier > Robbo
    D) Save

    1. Benditlike
      8 years, 14 days ago

      B) is -4

      Honestly with this week's fixtures I think you should save. WHU is an okay fixture for Spurs assets and would give you way more options next GW.

    5. Top 210 Club
      8 years, 14 days ago

      B

    8 years, 14 days ago

    Changes to this wc team?
    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Doherty
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Maddison
    Aguero Arnautovic

    Button wb Masuaku Success

    1. Pukki Party
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Very good, team value?

      1. ooooo
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Not that high 102.5

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Wb to balbuena.Rotates with doherty

      1. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Diop is cheaper than Balbuena

      2. ooooo
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Would do it but can’t afford it unless I downgrade someone else

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Diop or zaba?

          1. ooooo
            8 years, 14 days ago

            Neither

    3. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Excellent team. Possibly consider Fabianski instead of Patricio due to fixtures and you already having Doherty. Also, looking forward, maybe Wan-Bissaka out?

      1. ooooo
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah sounds like I should try and get him out too thanks

    4. Demel
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Made me smile. Apart from Pat. The starting XI is the exact team I should have in 2 weeks time (Jimenez over Success on the bench).

    5. HD7
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I will soon have almost the same team without WC. Like it. Probably would prefer Ryan or Dubravka for the next 10Gws. But maybe you want Patricio for thr whole season

      1. ooooo
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah Patricio is a seasons keeper for me

    6. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      How about Salah to Mane, then upgrade your bench fodder to bench bargains that can actually get you points in dudd gameweeks?

      Especially considering it's WC - you may be in trouble once the fixtures come thick and fast in December and I doubt you'd want to take hits down the line to upgrade your bench - I wouldnt be playing any of that bench on current form so one injury/suspension and you're effectively down to 10 men.

  3. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Which transfer is deemed more important for this GW (I already have Robertson and no City) :

    A) Sterling
    B)TAA

    Considering the next two fixtures in tandem, TAA could have near guaranteed clean sheets against HUDD and CAR whilst Sterling has BUR,but then a tricky fixture against TOT.

    I'm leaning towards TAA for this week, then roll a transfer in spurs week for sterling and then possible use two free transfers the SOT week and bring in Sterling and KDB in for Ralls and Fraser (already have Wilson and fixtures turn for BOU)

    Would appreciate your thoughts, TIA

    1. Patty
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A for explosiveness

    2. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Sterling has a higher ceiling to pay off. I'd take him.

  4. joeydelucchi
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Is anyone else slightly concerned with their FPL obsession?
    - I find myself going to the team in my head whilst in queues and on the bus making calculations on who to get in to kill some time.
    - when I see a players name somewhere I believe it could be a sign and maybe I should bring that player in? Whether it’s Maddison’s hotel, Kings fish and chips or the other day at work someone asked me over email for an awb! (Air way bill I believe)
    - I find that going through my team in my head helps me prolong during 😉 haha

    Can anyone relate?

    1. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      You must have OR #1 if point three is true...

    2. Holmes
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I'm obssessed with FPL related thoughts when on WC or before GW1, otherwise life is normal 😛

    3. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Love using Wildcards on interlulls to keep myself busy.

    4. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Can't be serious about that last part, surely..

      I'd delete my team and never return if that was the case. That's sad.

    5. Eytexi
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Shamefully im with you on this

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I spend at least an hour or so a day catching up with the latest news and mulling over my transfer options.

    7. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I skim read the first part and saw the words ' slightly concerned' , 'obsession' and 'to kill'

  5. Fi_fpl addict
    8 years, 14 days ago

    one of the best Articles ive seen for a long time, extremely useful

    1. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I wanted each parameter 1-20th not, by team....impossible read and most data is irrelevant. I'm only interested in top/bottom 5 of each parameter and this makes it hard to find.

      1. Fi_fpl addict
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I disagree personally but only my opinion

        because the fixture difficulty is there as a guide in addition gives a bit more context and those teams that are under/ over performing based on the fixtures , so useful to see all teams

      2. Vobinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I disagreed to start with, but now you put it like that I agree it would have been easier to find the best and worst teams of each parameter.

  6. Tshelby
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Get rid of

    A) Monreal
    B) Trippier

    for

    1) Robbo
    2) Mendy

    1. Top 210 Club
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A1

      1. Tshelby
        8 years, 14 days ago

        The same I was thinking.
        Thanks for the reply!

  7. Waltomade
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Neves to Schurrle..
    With Mitrovic already in the team??(or anyone else at 5.9)

    1. wander
      8 years, 14 days ago

      i love a good double mid and striker combo but fraser wilson is the one i prefer

    2. Jekori
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Bernard (Everton) is 5.9 too and should have done enough to keep his place

  8. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Which team would you prefer? The Non-WC team (-4) or the WC team?

    A (Non-Wild Card team i can get for -4 by doing stephens/kane >> hazard/jimenez)
    Patricio • Foster
    Alonso • Robbo • Shaw • Doherty • Awb
    Salah • Hazard • Maddison • Richarlison • Camarassa
    Kun • King • Jimenez

    B (potential WC team from gw10 if i keep kane for one more week and then wc in gw10 to bring in hazard as planned)
    Ryan • Fabianki
    Alonso • TAA • Mendy • Doherty • Bennett
    Salah • Hazard • Maddison • Knockart • Hojberg
    Firmino • Arnie • Mitro

    If i dont WC in gw10, the only other time to use it will be in gw15 when spurs fixtures improve for the better. There arent any other major fixture swings and i can easily get spurs cover with 2FT's come gw15 so might as well set my team up in gw10 for the long run.

    Thoughts?

    1. Effendi007
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Think you're still fine with A

    2. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't really wildcard that team - the midfield is nearly identical (I'd actually prefer Richarlison over Knockaert and downgrade elsewhere). You still have Alonso, Liverpool def, and Doherty.

      There's also nothing in the forward lines points wise - Kun might even score as much as Firmino and Mitro combined!

    3. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      thanks gents, yeah might keep the WC.

      only issue is whether to do the stephens/kane >> hazard/jimenez (-4) in gw9 or 10

  9. diesel001
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Alonso seems to have been dialled back offensively by Sarri. Will he get as many attacking returns now? Chelsea had quite a soft fixture schedule (save for Liverpool) in the first 8 GWs.

    Of their next 8 PL fixtures, only Palace, Everton and Fulham at home look easy. In that time they play MUN bur tot wol MCI

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I'd argue MUN, bur, wolv aren't exactly hard for cleansheets.

      Fine, MCI and tot aren't the best but not unsalvageable.

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I agree, Chelsea could certainly keep a CS in those you mentioned.

        That said, Alonso is expensive and if there were more mids firing or high priced forwards I really wanted I would consider selling him. As it is, I can't really see where I would better spend the funds so I'll be holding Alonso

    2. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 14 days ago

      You know you're over-thinking things when a defender going 4 games without an attacking return is worrying. With 1 goal and 5 assists already, and a couple of unlucky goals against away from 4 clean sheets on the spin, there's no reason sell whatsoever. Look at gwks 9-12, 14-15, 17-22.......... sell? No effing chance.

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I’m dropping Alonso, , brought him in at the wrong time and I’m not convinced about the clean sheet prospects.

      Happy to be proved wrong, but his individual stats are down.

  10. Warby84
    8 years, 14 days ago

    I know Doherty has hauled heavily but I think Jonny is a better pick, especially regarding home stats and is .2 cheaper

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      8 years, 14 days ago

      last i checked doherty had a much higher goal threat, no?

    2. danishdynamite
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I have neither, and while Doherty is the obvious choice, I reckon Jonny is due a decent return with those stats, and is a decent diff over Doherty

      (I'll probably end up wussing out and get Doherty though :-/ )

    3. nobwak
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Get Jonny then.

    4. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 14 days ago

      0.2m seems a very small amount to me, but I guess every little bit helps. Where should we be looking? Without revealing Members Data, which stats should we be looking at?

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Attacking threat is nice but defenders bread and butter is clean sheets.
      Jonny more likely for the bonus in those scenarios, which makes him intriguing to me.
      It’s who I may go for to add a saving on my wildcard

  11. Nice to Finally Michu
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Is Rob Holding an option or have I begun to lose the plot?

    1. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 14 days ago

      The latter

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      You've lost it mate

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Probably lost it, Arsenal have got a few lucky clean sheets. Look to their full backs or attack instead

  12. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 14 days ago

    How does this looks for a wc...Not pressed the button yet but thinking about it! Thinking WC as I have a few issues in my team (Shaw/ Stephens/ Peltier/ Fraser)

    Fabianski/ Patricio
    TAA Mendy Alonso Doherty Balbuena
    Hazard Salah Richarlison Seri Billing
    Aguero Wilson Jimenez,

    Cash in the bank to do Wilson > Arnautovic in GW 10/11 as his fixtures look pretty decent from there.

    1. Eze Really?
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Well Shaw and Fraser not really issues if you have cover.
      Peltier and Stephens are not either considering the prices.
      I don't know what your side is now but if you have a decent 10/11 players, just move 2 players max

  13. Eze Really?
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Is it too much to have Patricio/Fab and Doherty/Diop?
    A double rotation if fails will cost.

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      8 years, 14 days ago

      i think one of the most important bits of fpl advice you'll ever get is not to think about this kind of thing. It doesn't matter if you already have players from a given side. Just choose the players that you expect to get the most points. At present, Patricio and Doherty both look fantastic value, so definitely wouldn't worry about that. I haven't really looked into Fab and Diop, they don't look terrible straight off, but also don't look great.

  14. Tornado
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Best mid under 5.6m? Brooks or too risky as have fraser

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Bit risky with Stanislas returning from injury. How about Knocaert at5.5?

      1. Johnny 8
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 14 days ago

        *Knockaert

    2. The Wise Owl
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Or go even cheaper with Will Hughes.

  15. AI3user
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Here's an interesting one, who would perform better in the long term:

    A) KDB + Doherty
    B) Richo + Maddo

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Is Richo Richarlison or Rico? Either way, I'd probably say A

    2. danishdynamite
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A

  16. Olivier Bernards watch
    8 years, 14 days ago

    what are the chances of trippier rising in price before next gameweek?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      100%

      1. Sánchez
        8 years, 14 days ago

        This

      2. Olivier Bernards watch
        8 years, 14 days ago

        awesome, thanks! Means I can get Mendy. Bit of good fortune because I hadn't really worked out a plan to get him back

    2. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      We're both waiting for this aren't we! I think it's likely, he's on the cusp.

      1. Olivier Bernards watch
        8 years, 14 days ago

        lol, yeah, let's hope so!

    3. Eze Really?
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Pricing dead zone atm and a big WC week being int break. Trippier will go up but may not be as imminent as expected

    4. chrisw333
      8 years, 14 days ago

      But Mendy's price unlocks tonight, so will he rise too?

  17. Eytexi
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Best midfielder under 7mil (already got Richarlison). Maddison?

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Yes. Quite good run of fixtures for Leicester too.

    2. The 5% Team
      8 years, 14 days ago

      yeah, I'd say Maddison...especially with his nice run of fixtures

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Maddison but Gudmundsson also good when fixtures turn

  18. Eden Wizard
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Horrible formatting, discuss each parameter individual as a table.
    #DataDump

  19. Positive vibes
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Who is better?
    A. Maddison 442
    B. Arnie 433
    Ta

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Like both but b if pushed to decide.

    2. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Think I'd prefer Arnautovic, has that explosiveness for huge haul potential.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      What about Arnie + Madds in a 4-4-2?

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Potential England team for the 2022 World Cup:

    GK - Jordan Pickford
    RB - Trent Alexander-Arnold
    CB - Joe Gomez
    CB - John Stones
    LB - Ben Chilwell
    CM - Harry Winks
    CAM - Phil Foden
    CAM - James Maddison
    RW - Raheem Sterling
    LW - Jadon Sancho
    ST - Harry Kane

    1. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Looks good enough for a QF appearance 😉

    2. Karan_G14
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Not sure about that midfield defensively.
      Rest looks pretty promising.

    3. danishdynamite
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Are you Jadon Sancho?

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      That looks quite decent. But I'd put Ox in over Sancho.

    5. nobwak
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Leon Bailey

    6. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      That midfield would get completely over run.

    7. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      If Southgate still there then it will be 3 at the back.

    8. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      No Maguire?

  21. barracuda
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Thinking of moving Alonso for Robertson for minus 4. I think it will pay off in the next 7-8. Plus need the cash to upgrade my 3rd striker. Could work?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Silly

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Don't do it mate!
      If you can't find a way to get him in then look at TAA

    3. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Can understand your thinking but not for a hit.

    4. The 5% Team
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Alonso maybe a season keeper...should have a few more goals in him if you look at past seasons

    5. danishdynamite
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Err, look at Chelseas fixtures in 11, 12 and 14

      The cash argument is better than the fixtures argument, IMHO

    6. Maddamotha
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Alonso has good fixtures tho.

  22. The Train Driver
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Do we know anything about Eriksen return? Getting rid of Kane if Eriksen isn't playing next...

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Oct 06: "Christian has no chronic injuries - nobody has said that. He just has an injury related to some fatigue and, for that reason, he is having some rest."

      Potential return date is given as the 20th but we don't know if that'll happen.

      1. The Train Driver
        8 years, 14 days ago

        That text started out promising, then not so much 🙁 thanks, looks like Ill have to wait for the presser

      2. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 14 days ago

        'Nobody has said that' 😀

        Age Hareide:

        "Christian has an issue with an abdominal muscle, and Tottenham have tried to say it's a long-term problem," Hareide told Denmark's Canal 9. "It's doubtful that we can bring him to Dublin and get him to play. I don't think Tottenham are very interested in that.

        "It's been long-term since he missed the game against Barcelona and [was] out again against Cardiff. It's been over a week and I know he's known about this problem for a while. Such an injury can become chronic, and I think that's what Tottenham are fearing as well.

        "Hopefully that won't happen with Christian. We have two important games in November as well. We will take a look at him, but I don't think we will see Christian in Dublin."

      He's not with the Danish squad this week, so there's little to go on

    3. Jekori

      He is very unlikely to play next GW. Don't know about fatique but he has an abdominal injury and read some dutch news spurs think it'll be hard to make it in time for CL game vs PSV (24th) So w-h is very unlikely.

    What do you mean by flanks?

    2 defensive mids in a 4231?
    Or flanks are there in all formations?

    1. Smurf

      Flanks are the wide men.

  24. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Mendy or Robertson? Flip of the coin isn't it?

    1. LD
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Robbo for now. Mendy’s a wait and see for me

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I’d go Robbo just for security of starts.

    3. Goat
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Robbo

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Not close. Robertson on fixtures and form.

    5. Geoff

      Agree with the others - right now, it's Robertson

    6. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Robbo

  25. TerryVenables
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Trippier > Mendy?
    2FTs and nothing else to worry about.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Do you have x3 Liverpool? If not, get those instead.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Yes I would

  26. asquishypotato

    Think I’m settled on my wildcard team, I’ve spent quite a while toying with Arnie, but think he can wait until Mitros fixtures turn in 3 weeks.

    Fab, Pat,
    Doherty, Robbo, TAA, Duffy, AWB/Bennett
    Salah, Haz, Rich, Schurrle,
    Aguero, Vardy, Mitro.

    Double Fulham just for the fixtures, switching over after a few weeks.

    1. adey70
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Any thoughts on Lacazette and Wilson instead of Vardy Mitrovic?

      1. joeydelucchi
        8 years, 14 days ago

        laca and wilson , vardy mitro all good prospects at the mo , really hard to say who will do better so too sideways imo

      2. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Nope, toyed with Laca but couldn’t get him in during the great fixtures, so that time has passed for me.

        Same for Wilson, had King and not interested in B’Mouth attack despite their nice next fixtures.

        Vardy is all but locked in. Great fixtures, guaranteed game time, on pens, and always scores against Arsenal.

        1. adey70
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Fair enough. It’s a nice team!

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Looks ok although defence could arguably be better (e.g. for gw11)

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Yeh that is exactly the issue I’m having. Good fixtures to cover, but GW11 is a dud, unless I think Liverpool can keep arsenal out.

        By then I may have 2 free transfers so may use one on a defender as a one week, or look to bring a defender in specifically with 11 in mind now.

    I watched the most recent you tube video, 'Meet the manager' and I was left thinking 'Does this guy care about team value?'

    He said he's very very patient with players but that surly damages team value.

    How important do the top managers take this?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Case by case, no real right answer. Only thing is if you are doing well your value will go up regardless, so top managers tend not to worry about it as much.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Can't speak for them, but less relevant when referring to cheap bench picks.

      1. Tim
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I find it very frustrating that I seem to do everything the other top managers do, I plan ahead, give careful thought to transfers and I'm very methodical. But my current rank is 1.6m!!

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Lol well you obviously don't do everything the top managers do

        2. MTPockets
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Assume gw1 went badly - same for me with bad start.
          Just need to keep going and get some luck - 30 weeks to go yet.

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I used to always focus on TV but I’ve realised it’s not as essential as you may think to make early transfers. As long as you are getting the right players your TV should look after itself. I’ve been making transfers late in the week, each GW this season and my value is still respectable IMO - TV 103.2 (SV 101.6).

  28. beetlejuice
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Pickford - Hennesey
    Alonso - Robertson - WanBisakka - Shaw - Doherty
    Pedro - Hazard - Salah - Fraser - Masuaku
    Agüero - Mitrovic - King

    What should be my priority? 1 FT, 0.1 ITB

    A-) Pickford
    B-) Pedro
    C-) Both with a hit
    D-) Someone else?

    Thanks!!

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Probably Pedro. Same for me but can't decide on moves.

      1. beetlejuice
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I have exact funds for Pedro -> Schürrle and Pickford -> Alisson
        What do you think (for -4) ?

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 14 days ago

          I don't like it to tbh

    2. George James
      8 years, 14 days ago

      pedro >> richarlison

      help on my post below would be great if you can cheers

  29. George James
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Guys some help with my next move would be appreciated.

    A) Kane >> Laca
    B) Trippier >> Doherty (leaves funds for Dilva > Mane GW10)
    C) Both of above -4 leaving funds for Dilva >> Salah GW10
    D) Save FT

    Hennesey
    TAA Tripps Alonso
    Hazrad Dsilva Fraser Richarlison
    Kane Kun Mitro

    Mcarthy / Bennett / AWB / Billing

    1. beetlejuice
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A or B, if you think West Ham cant score do A, otherwise do B
      And do the latter next week perhaps

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      If Vertonghen, Eriksen, Alli, Dembele, (Rose) all still injured would lose one of them. Don't know which though, and not for a hit.

    3. George James

    Patricio

    What would you do this week? 1FT 0.1 ITB

    A) Tripper > Mendy/Robertson

    B) Kane > Aguero

    C) Save FT
