Top 10k managers go on hunt for Man United assets

The top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have swooped for Manchester United assets after the strong start they have made under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Meanwhile, there has been a non trivial activity in the chips department this week mixed between Wildcards, Bench Boosts and Free Hits.

Looking at the spike of interest in United assets, we notice that, for the first time for at least ten Gameweeks, there are four Red Devils players with ownership higher than 10% at the top end of the game.

PlayerGW18 Top 10k ownershipGW19 Top 10k ownership
Rashford10.04%35.8%
Martial5.8%22.5%
Lingard0.25%12.6%
Pogba0.9%10.1%
Shaw0.6%6.96%

We see that some Man United players went from almost zero percent ownership (Jesse Lingard (0.25%), Paul Pogba (0.9%) and Luke Shaw (0.6%)) to significant backing in a matter of the three days between Gameweeks 18 and 19.

The most popular United asset is Marcus Rashford who left his 35.8% owners disappointed today with his blank.

Speaking of disappointment, the second most-owned United player, Anthony Martial, was not included in the match squad today, which means that the 22.5% top 10,000 managers who own him will have called their bench for help.

However, maybe that was not very disappointing as many have Aaron Wan-Bissaka as first substitute, and he is projected to get eight points this Gameweek after bonus points.

Meanwhile, the 10.1% managers who own Pogba this week certainly enjoyed his brace, which is the main reward Man United owners got today, plus the Lingard assist.

This Man United bias manifests itself even more in active Wildcards this week. 2.14% of top 10,000 managers delayed their first Wildcard up till this week, and they certainly made sure they got their Red Devils cover.

Rashford (60.75%) and Martial (34.58%) are the popular Wildcard picks, while Pogba made it to 27.43% of them. Wildcarders also favored Wan-Bissaka, Andy Robertson and Lucas Digne in defense and Mohamed Salah, Richarlison and Heung-Min Son in midfield who all proved to be decent picks for Gameweek 19.

On the other hand, 0.5% activated their Free Hit chip and their selection looks very similar to the Wildcard picks. Pogba features much more than Martial in these one-week only squads.

In addition, 1.1% found their bench promising enough to activate the Bench Boost chip and not wait for future opportunities. Taking a look at the benches of those teams (loosely defined as the cheapest players in their squad), we find the following players constituting most of the substitutes.

Bench PlayerPercentage
Wan-Bissaka86.85%
Fabianski43.2%
Doherty24.26%
Kolasinac23.4%
Digne20.7%

It was essentially Wan-Bissaka’s clean sheet and Digne’s brace that rewarded Bench Boosters this week. As this article was being finalized, the average intermediate scores for different chip users show that Free Hit (14 intermediate points gain over no chips) was actually the most successful this week (numbers are before the Watford-Chelsea game). Meanwhile, Triple Captainers (mainly captaining Salah) are second with a 10.1 gain.

Chip UsedPercentagePoints
No Chip96.06%52.85

Bench Boost1.11%61.90

    1. Hazard and Shaw

    or

    2. Sane and Alonso?

      Hazard and a different defender i my opinion

  2. TheCurseOfRaheem

    Don’t think I’ve ever had a single FT cost me so many points. Had the (C) on Auba for GW18. Got swayed by Haz coming off bench and scoring in the cup and brought him in for Son and put the (C) on him. 28 pts and counting. Hazard blanking yesterday would’ve had me rage transferring.

    Anyone else take out Son last week?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A friend did Lacazette to Kane last minute for a hit - and captained Kane. If she hadn't made the move, she would've captained Hazard, so that's 13 points.

      Not as bad as yours, but becomes a lot worse when you consider she sold Son for Hazard the week before - 32 points lost with all the going back and forth.

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes took son and siggy out 2 weeks ago for haz and Snodgrass. Last week was brutal, cost me about 25 points. Ha(z) came through for me this Gameweek but still regret the transfers

  3. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    For this coming week, would you rather have Sterling or Lacazette?

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Neither

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks - I do have that option I guess, see below.

        1. Ross From Friends
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I just did Sterling & Sane > Hazard & Pogba

          I suggest you bin both since Laca keeps getting subbed off at 60 and is angry about it every time. And Sterling has lost form completely. He created ONE big chance today (and it was barely a big chance)

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I looked at Sterling's stats and was surprised to see no shots. I prefer Lacazette as a player right now but I'm angry about him being subbed every time too. Unfortunately I'm 0.2 short of Sterling and Lacazette to Hazard and Aubameyang.

    2. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling ez

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Raz
      Next week bin him too

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I could bin both I guess as I have 2 FTs, but as there's nothing really wrong with my team I'd prefer to save one.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yep.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling
      He did score 21 points in his last game against Southampton...

  4. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford+Gunnarsson to Pogba+Kamara (-4)

    Is this too sideways?
    Worried about Rashford rotation .

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Also I want Pogba long term, but rashford would be transferred anyway in few weeks

    2. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Much too sideways for me, I'd never take a hit to get in a cheap player you likely won't play who could get dropped at a moment's notice

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

    I’m on my first WC, please fill in the blanks....

    Ederson. Hamer.
    Alonso. Van Dijk. Trippier. WanB. XXX
    Hazard. Sané. Pogba. Richarlison. XXX
    XXX. Ings. Kamara

    A) Robertson, Camarasa. Kane +0.5
    B) Peltier, Alli, Aubameyang
    C) Something else

    1. Royal5

      C

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Start over. This looks like a mess tbh. Ederson, Alonso, Sane, Ings, Kamara..

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Get players in-form. Son, Digne, Salah

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Lloris

    2. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say A of those.

      On a WC myself and not sold on keeping Alonso.

    3. aleksios

    4. Billybigspuds
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  6. OPTA FPL

    Rp.

    Kola+Sane to Shaw/Lovren and Haz for a hit?
    No other city cover.
    Thanks.

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Shaqiri to Martial? Have sane and 2 ft so could bring in Son or pogba aswell but kinda want him for one more gw?

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      go for it.

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

    Yes or No? (exact cash)

    Balbuena Sane Jimenez ---> Robbo Pogba Ings (-4)

    1. Adsterguy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd just do Sane to Pogba. Ings and TAA/VVD in after next two

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate. Actually it's a nice plan

        1. Adsterguy
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          No problem, hope it works out for you. Think I'll be doing the same transfer this week

  10. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Captaining Hazard has single handedly saved my gw.
    Thankfully i sold Alonso ahead of him before 5 gws to get Kane. 😮

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      well done.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheer's mate 🙂

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nice - I sold Alonso at the same time too, but that was to fund Sterling which hasn't worked out as well!

      The player single-handedly saving my GWs recently has been Son, but sadly I haven't been brave enough to captain for fear of rotation.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah.
        Son is really great asset to have. Got him this week.
        City midfield kinda derailed my season. Binned them both this gw. It'll backfire but couldn't go without Salah anymore

  11. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    already brought in pogba, how does fanderson to haz look for free?

    1. Billybigspuds
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Good move

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

      Burnley next week. I’d wait and see how west ham look tomorrow

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Think I would assess after today.Anderson Burnley and Brighton at home too.2 leaky defenses

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Great move.
      WH playing Burnley next gw though. Fando might do better in that game.
      Lomg term great move though

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not the gw to do it imo. Could backfire easily

      Hazard against Palace who has 3 cs in 3 at Selhurst while fandereon face the worst defence in burnley

      1. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        cheers everyone, I think I'll hold.

    6. dh1
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Good transfer, id personally do it this week but probably wont hurt too much to wait a week

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

    I already had Martial, but i really wanna get Pogba as well.

    Should I do this -> Alonso + Fraser > Digne + Pogba

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

      will take a -4 hit

    2. Billybigspuds
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Think 1 Man U player is enough

    3. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That’s what I just did, go for it

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it

  13. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    DZers help!!!

    Fabianski
    Taa Doherty Digne
    Hazard Pogba(vc) Sane Richarlison Anderson
    Kane(c) Rondon

    Subs: Kamara Jonny Kolasinac

    0 ft 4.7 itb gtg?

    A)sane to salah for a hit
    B)No hits

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do it. City is crap without ferna. Sane is a rotational risk, salah is nailed on and on form. Good long term tf.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years

      A

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'd do one better. Just do Sane --> Perreyra.

        Perreyra in excellent form and has great fixtures to continue it. Give you nice spare to strengthen rest of your team too 😉

    4. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Rondón to Ings

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No after next 2

    5. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sane to Martial/lingard

    6. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No hits

    7. dh1
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      may aswell give it one more week now sane has already dropped in price

  14. sweglet
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    wait ryans gone now but son hasn;t? wanted to use my ft for a midfield swap not a keeper swap

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      it was common knowledge that Ryan would be gone. Nothing surprising.

    2. Billybigspuds
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Son has special dispensation to leave late for Asian cup

  15. Ynwalfc
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Ederson
    Digne,Doherty,Robertson
    Richarlison,Pogba(V),Martial,F.Anderson,Snodgrass
    Kane(C),Aubameyang

    Subs Hamer,Jiminez,AWB,Luiz

    GTG? Gonna bring in TAA for Luiz next week, also looking to switch Ederson for someone?

    1. dh1
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely dont sell luiz, chelsea's next 3 fixtures look great from a defensive standpoint and liverpool have Man City and Arsenal. Plus you already ave a liverpool defender in place. Madness in my opinion

    Can someone explain to me why Richarlison took his shirt off? Like that was the 5th goal and it meant absolutely nothing....what is wrong with this kid? first the head-butt now this...of course i am only mad because I lost one point because of it 😆

        Will do some team cleaning I guess with 2FTs

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Yep 😉

  18. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What would u do here?

    1. Sterling + Sane + Mitro -> Salah + Haz + Kamara (-4, exact cash atm).
    2. Sterling -> Hazard and save the other FT or other move.
    3. Other.

    Fabianski.
    Kola, Doherty, Digne.
    Rich, Sane, Sterling, Felipe.
    Mitro, Kane, Auba.
    Hamer, AWB, Gibbs-White, Bednarek.

    Hazard Sane Son Fanderson (Brooks)
    Kane(C) Rashford(Success)
    0ft and 0.4 itb

    Sane to Pogba for a hit is crazy right?
    Also what should be my long term plan to get Salah in?

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep Sane.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate, Sterling to Hazard was the right thing to do but do you think?

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit. Just play AWB. Might get cheeky cs. (Selhurst park turning to a fortress all of a sudden)

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Play AWB ahead of Sane? Surely City could bounce back? I'm a bit worried about getting Hazard in Palace CS chances are that high!

    3. Amey

        Cheers mate! Congrats on Hazard (C), a bit unlucky with Martial but..

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah.
          Hazard C saved my gw.
          No worries about martial. He is my C next gw if confirmed fit.
          Kamara comes with 2 pointer like a boss :0

      1. yes roll the FT
      2. hard to say, you're quite a way away from that.

        Cheers mate
        Could look at Kane,Brooks to Salah,Ings later?
        Or else just lose Hazard later

    5. Differential C (Mark)

      Not that crazy, city face a resurgent southampton next.

      Difficult to say, really, hot to get Salah. Will have to sacrifice one of your premiums.
      Maybe Sane+Kane->Salah+Bilva? Looks dodgy, but where to get the cash?

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I was thinking Kane and Brooks to Salah Ings

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

          But dammit, kane has far better fixtures than Salah in next 2. Ings has some tough-ish games In the next two as well
          Those moves do look good, but . . ..
          Follow your gut. Could be a case of "Form over fixtures"

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            No I mean long term, once Salah is done with his bad games and fixtures have turned

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

              Ahh, well than thats okay. Yeah, Kane has not been justifying his price tag at all. 1 goal in a 5-0 rout is not good enough.

  20. Gimli son of Gloin

    Fabianski
    Luiz - Laporte - Digne
    Hazard - Sane - Fanderson - Martial - Richarlison
    Kane - Rashford

    (Hart - Chicarito - AWB - Doherty) 1 ft

    Whos the best Chicarito replacement this week/next week? Arnautovic maybe ?

      if he's on your bench anyway just roll it, hard to say at the moment, probably ings

    best keeper under 5.0 set nd forget?

    1. Amey

      Fabs

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

      Fabianski, but Foster has some decent games coming up too.

      1. Adsterguy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Foster ain't bad, but not for set-n-forget imo. Would want rid around GW28 (face Pool, City, United and Arsenal GW28-34, doesn't bode well for his double gameweeks either)

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years

          Cheers, didnt realize that.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      none really, you wanna be moving them around every now and then based on fixtures

      1. Adsterguy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fabs doesn't have any bad runs of fixtures until GW33

        I'd keep him set and forget until WC around the double gameweeks

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          disagree, 22-28 is not a nice run for fabianski.

          1. Adsterguy
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It isn't an amazing run, but the only better option over that period 5.0 or below is probably Patricio, who you would want to get out before GW30 (likely using another FT before a late wildcard)

            Even when he doesn't get clean sheets Fabs will get save points, he's a completely viable budget set-and-forget until second WC imo

  23. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Best move here?

    A) Camarasa -> Martial/Richarlison (bench Ings)
    B) Balbuena -> premium (Trippier/Alonso)
    C) Balbuena -> mid (Digne, Shaw)
    D) Save FT

    Fabianski
    TAA, Holebas, Balbuena
    Sane, Son, Siggy, FAnderson
    Kane, Auba, Ings

    Steele, Camarasa, Kolasinac, Doherty

    1. Amey

      Digne

      1. Amey

        I mean C option sorry

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers. Given their form and fixtures and that he's now had his rest, I was thinking Trippier could be a decent shout.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Too much rotation amongst Full backs by Poch.
            He has few options their so i don't like it

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      roll it

  24. Differential C (Mark)

    Button vs Steele (reddit)

    Button was a first choice keeper in a decent Fulham side that got promoted to PL last season. Benched somewhere close to the end of the season and left the club as he was no longer number one. When signed, was generally considered as a strong backup for Ryan and a possible challenger for number one spot. Was on the bench every game this season and played in League Cup, after that he got injured and only came back about 10 days ago (played for U21 team).

    Steele was an absolutely terrible keeper in an absolutely terrible Sunderland side that got relegated from Championship last season (after they were just relegated from PL a season before that). Finished last place with most goals conceded. He was sort of a rotational keeper but played more games than the other two. Probably the worst keeper in the league that season (next two places on that list would go to his two teammates, that's how bad they were). Made a load of mistakes and cost his team a bunch of goals and points, and everyone was surprised (to put it lightly) when he signed for Brighton. Only possible explanation for his signing is that they were expecting Ryan to go Asian Cup and didn't want a youngster on the bench for those 4-5 games.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      button on bench today, almost certain he'll start

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, in hindsight Button was the obvious call. That being said, I'm not sure I'd want to be starting him for any of the games whilst Ryan is away...

      EVE, whu, LIV, MUN,

    3. sweglet
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      no idea if you've seen the Sunderland doc on Netflix but the only ay Steeles starting is if every single Sunderland keeper down to the u17s is injured, joke of a keeper

    4. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I was stunned when I realized Brighton's Steele was the same Steele from the Sunderland show on Netflix. I mean, his outfield players (and the editing) didn't help him, but, holy geez, he looked bad.

    2FTs
    1) Fraser, Sterling > Salah, Camarasa (no City cover)
    2) Bednarek, Fraser > Digne, Snodgrass (exact funds, already have Felipe)
    3) Fraser, Kamara > Gunnarsson, Jiménez (return to 343)
    4) Fraser, Sterling > Pogba, Sané
    5) Fraser, Kamara > Herrera, Ings (autopick!)

    56 points, no hit, 2.5m GW rank and chunky red arrow. Tough crowd!

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Starting WanB?
      Pretty sure he will come in for lots of teams too

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        Should have stated him over Jimenez in hindsight!

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

      It is difficult week for many. Redemption time this weekend for you, I assume.
      56 is much better than some of the scores I've seen, mind you.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Hazard spoiling the party

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I own Hazard and Digne, its triple City thats killing me these weeks!

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

          Oh then it could have been worse 😛

          I have got a red arrow without Digne and Hazard, so I thought they must be the reason for it 😀

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah.
      High scoring gw & autosub still to come 😮

    5. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It's been a weird week - I'm honestly surprised I'm only 7 points behind even though you had Hazard and Digne. We also got unlucky with Kane as he took lots of shots and created some good chances.

      For me - wildcard move which has definitely backfired heavily: dropping Hazard on my wildcard to get Sterling.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Triple City killing me the past couple of weeks, Hazard saving me somewhat!

  28. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Later when I have to get Salah in, who should be making way?
    Hazard or Kane?

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

      Kane if any

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      no point looking that far ahead

      1. Adsterguy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It's like 2-3 gameweeks ahead, and it's a big shift of funds when trying to make space for a 13m player.

        Yes, there's a chance it will change, but planning ahead is always a smart move as long as you acknowledge how quickly things can change in this game and have some kind of backup for it

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kane
      A single goal when Spurs score 5 is not enough for a 12.4m player IMO
      I also worry a bit that he gets less opportunities when Moura plays and Moura is potentially nailed while Son is away

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Getting rid of Kane IMO is madness. He has scored ponts every game he's started for the last 8. 61 in 8 starts with a 1 pointer cameo in there (yeh, that was a little annoying but won't happen again for a while)

        Nearly 8 points per game is incredible returns. And the fixtures are fantastic for the next 8.

    5. Adsterguy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Between Haz, Kane and Auba for me.

      Currently got to be Auba based on fixtures, as they're all in form

      1. Adsterguy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        But for you it's Kane. Kind of forgot the question sorry haha

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      None.Try different route.Madness to dump either

  29. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So so so dissapointed as a Sterling and Sane owner. Owning triple City should NOT result in red arrows when they play Palace home and Leicester away. Also looking at a 3-0 spurs half time score to see Kane involved in nothing is a massive disappointment aswell. Safe to say one of the City midfielders has to go. Sane/Sterling to Son/Pogba

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sell Raz.
      He was awful tbh.
      I've got rid of them both this gw.
      Completely derailed the season.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Raz has been one of my worst transfers. Feel like im a bit late to the pogba/son bandwagon

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Same here.
          I got Son nonetheless.
          3gws is fine for me.
          Will ship him out then

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Has Son two or three more games before he departs? I also brought him in regardless, form too hot to ignore!

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              I know you love Son but you may be too late this time - I have a feeling he'll cost you 4 points when you have to sell him for a hit in three weeks!

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                Nah, hes in mate, could easily have another big haul in him and wanted rid of ole Raheem!

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Yes.
                  Hopefully two double digit hauls & 3 more price rise's gor Son 😉

            2. Amey
              • 5 Years

              3 gws to go.

            • 9 Years

            Ive just brought in Hazard. Felt like the right move

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, triple City has killed me too. Sold Sterling + Fraser to Pogba + Son.
      Now have this midfield which looks good on paper for the next two at least:
      Hazard / Pogba / Son / Sane / Felipe

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
