Scout Notes

Sterling establishes himself as best Man City option with hat-trick

West Ham United 0-5 Manchester City

Goals: Raheem Sterling (£12.5m) x 3, Sergio Aguero (£12.5m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m)

Assists: Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) x 3, Kyle Walker (£6.5m), Kevin de Bruyne (£9.5m) 

Bonus Points: Sterling x 3, Mahrez x 2, de Bruyne x 1

Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) went a long way to proving he is worth the big bucks as a Fantasy asset by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over West Ham.

Those who opted against owning the England international, perhaps opting for the cheaper Kevin de Bruyne (£9.5m), Bernardo Silva (£8.0m) or forward asset Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) were left in the wake of his 20-point haul at the London Stadium.

Those alternative options, for various reasons, simply could not compete with Sterling.

“Since China and the Community Shield, Sterling has scored one goal minimum every game. On the first day, he played striker and for me, striker will be an incredible position for him. He can play in three positions up front.” – Pep Guardiola

19% of Fantasy managers were left disappointed when it was confirmed that Aguero had been left on the bench. Given the Argentinian’s lack of any involvement in Manchester City’s pre-season campaign, this should not have come as too much of a surprise.

However, to his credit, Aguero did come on for the last 21 minutes and got on the score-sheet, albeit in perplexing circumstances. Despite Sterling being on two goals at the time, the centre-forward demanded he take City’s 86th-minute penalty. He actually saw his initial effort saved by Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m), but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ordered it be retaken for encroachment by Declan Rice (£5.0m). Aguero made no mistakes with the second attempt.

Aguero did not start at West Ham but did come on and score a penalty

Either way, the Manchester City striker conundrum will have to be assessed by Fantasy managers in the coming Gameweeks, as, on the basis of the opening game against West Ham, Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) may have the edge over Aguero in terms of likelihood of starts.

It was a clinical performance from the Brazilian, who was sharp throughout and was unlucky to not have a brace on his first league start of the season. His clever finish from a Kyle Walker (£6.5m) cross capped a free-flowing City move to open the scoring. The right-back was awarded the assist despite a touch from Issa Diop (£4.5m) as this deflection did not change the intended destination of the pass.

Jesus thought he’d added a second goal after slotting home a Sterling square-ball but VAR ruled the goal out for an offside against the Englishman after consultation with referee Mike Dean.

Kevin de Bruyne played well despite not reaching Sterling’s FPL heights

One of the most eye-catching performances at the London Stadium came from de Bruyne, whose assist for Sterling came off the back of an incisive, dazzling run. 

If the Belgian can remain fit for the duration of the 2019/20 campaign, he is arguably undroppable. And amidst a City team of considerable instability with regards to consistent starters, it could perhaps be de Bruyne who offers the strongest value at a price of £9.5m. 

While his seven-point haul paled in significance to Sterling’s 20, that reliability of starts should go a long way this season.

Meanwhile, Guardiola’s decision to bench the 27% owned Bernardo Silva will give Fantasy managers another headache ahead of City’s Gameweek clash with Tottenham.

While the Portuguese international is supposedly one of the manager’s favourite players, it might be hard for him to drop those who played at West Ham, with attacking options such as Raheem Sterling (three goals), Jesus (one goal) and even Riyad Mahrez (three assists) excelling for the Citizens. 

There will be a number of difficult decisions for managers who have backed these benched Gameweek 1 players such as Aguero or Bernardo Silva, but City’s outstanding performance against the Hammers is indicative of a team who will not only be rampant throughout the 2019/20 season but a team that managers simply must invest in the attack of.

This was both a clinical performance and a statement of intent from City and Guardiola, with a number of Fantasy assets both emerging into potential relevance alongside consolidating their already imperious credentials for the 2019/20 campaign. 

There was a welcome clean sheet for Manchester City assets, in particular Zinchenko, who started at left-back

City’s defensive quartet of Walker, John Stones (£5.5m) Aymeric Laporte (£6.5m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) were firm at the back to resist a number of attacks from West Ham.

That will be of great encouragement to those invested in the City defence as they continued to demonstrate an improved ability to withstand pressure. West Ham started the game brightly, only to tail off in the face of superior attacking play and sheer determination from City, but it was important to see Guardiola’s men look well organised and disciplined even when asked to defend.

Felipe Anderson came off with a thigh injury in the second half

There really wasn’t much to be positive about for West Ham in this game, as was expected. Hammers manager Manuel Pellegrini is likely to be frustrated at such a despondent final scoreline after his side had started brightly, but defensive lapses against one of the league’s most clinical attacking sides is not a recipe for success. The East London side will look to bounce back from their 5-0 thrashing and get their season started in earnest when they travel to Brighton, who beat Watford 3-0 on Saturday, in Gameweek 2.

Club-record signing Sebastian Haller (£7.5m) had rare glimpses of promise as a target man in the Hammers attack but offered little to convince Fantasy managers to sign him up for some upcoming appealing fixtures.

Perhaps the biggest concern for the Hammers was the fact that Felipe Anderson (£7.0m) went off injured, with what look like a thigh problem in the 66th minute. Interestingly, Pellegrini did not provide any updates on the player in his post-match press conference.

However, he did confir that Jack Wilshere’s (£5.0m) removal from play was not injury-related and was focused on ensuring his fitness due to coming back from a long-term absence. 

“Jack was OK, I made that change because he is coming back from a long injury. No problem.” – Manuel Pellegrini

        He wasn't when the Liverpool game kicked off!

      He is in the game at 4.5m.

      My app is working fine.

      Someone said last night points on the bench will be shown as 0 unless auto subbed.

    Did anyone see the Bournemouth match? Did they look threatening? Although irrespective, both Wilson and Fraser will stay in my team for one more week at least as planned.

      No, they looked pants

      Sheffield United got into them in midfield and Bournemouth wilted. Very disjointed and couldn't maintain any possession.

      They matched Sheff Utd's formation and lacked creativity without Brooks in my opinion. Bournemouth were consistently inconsistent last season but usually scored goals.

      Bournemouth have always been miles better on the counter attack away from home. Better judging them after the Villa match.

    How did Haller look yesterday?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looked ok, the attack needs time to gel and it was against Manc.

      Ok .....would wait and see....big bloke with a nice first touch.... but against Man City he looked a bit lost.....as did the rest of the team.

    88 points with perez and jimenez to go.. thinking of getting rid of moura and get barkley but waiting to see his game first.. should i make also other changes before price change of players or be patient?

          • 14 Years

          Pope has 3 challenging fixtures now. Southampton at home is different from arsenal+wolves away, and Liverpool. Heaton, Ryan or Henderson could have a pen save in that time n it's all change.

          Monitor potential risers and fallers with this site. Keeps generally move slowly, Alisson's injury means lots of people have jumped onto Ederson and Dea Gea.

    Some interesting browsing of average positions in the members area, would recommend a gander... Aware the info is behind paywall so hope OK for commenting on it (with a certain degree of vagueness) but looks heartening for Sigurdsson and Digne, West ham attacking mids and could see Baldock from Sheffield Utd being one to keep an eye on...

    1. Bullet Eder

    What is the absolute worst rank a strong player should end up on come the end of the season?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's hard to say. Top 10k has always been the benchmark, but the amount of players has risen rapidly over the last few seasons. Last season some very good players had a nightmare season.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years

        Top 50k is the new top 10k

      Auba brace would go down nicely to cap off my 75 pts so far too 🙂

      also a perez goal and assist would be icing on the cake....

    Captain:

    A) Auba (BUR)
    B) Salah (sot)

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      Auba for me. Liverpool have Europe mid-week

    2. NED KELLY
      • 12 Years

      If I had auba I would go A.. but I don't so I'm going with B

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years

        Auba

    3. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Auba is the better bet being at home. Though Burnley may possibly be the tougher team to break down.

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lets see how auba performs today

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

      Ashley Barnes?

    6. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Auba has scored a brace in each of his last 3 games vs Burnley. Just sayin

    7. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I have both and going Auba myself with Salah VC

    8. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers all - will leave it on Auba.

  11. The Head-Ake

    Went without Kane, hurt me a wee bit. Should I try to get him in for a -4? No right?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not before City away

    2. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope - (Button)
      Robertson - TAA - Laporte - Digne - (Kelly)
      Salah - Sterling - Perez - Siggy - (Dendonck)
      King - Wood - (Greenwood)

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nah, decent team. Certainly not worth a -4. Siggy and Wood could have come away with more points yesterday.

    3. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. He was abysmal for 85 minutes and very lucky to haul.

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Save trade and get him for gw 3

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          How'd you reckon I get him in then?

          1. super zlatan
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Downgrade a heavy hitter in defence to rico.
            That will shave 3 mil.
            Depending on how siggy plays you could downgrade him also.

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thought so too

      3. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I can't remember the last time I watched Kane and thought he played well, but he still consistently bangs in the goals when he's fit.

    4. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don't chase points. They have city away next. Then Son comes back and is a better pick imo, being cheaper as well.

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Makes perfect sense. Cheers

    No Sterling no Kane, - 4 getting closer

    1. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Better to rectify the mistakes early. I'm getting in Raz. Clear error to not begin with him. Dunno what I was thinking

      1. Henning
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Lets see how this day enda Up, before make any decissions

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They play each other next week. No need to panic. I think Sterling with his hattrick and Pep's post match comments looks golden and as free from rotation as possible in the city front line. He said Sterling can play all three positions and sang praises about his goal scoring. I think he might be beat Salah for points scored this season as it looks like Pep will be barely rotate him. He is young as well so I think can shoulder that workload.

      1. Henning
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not shure i need Kane om my team. But Sterling seems to be a must have.

        1. nisag17
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This. I think Salah and Sterling are must haves. I am not too bothered with anyone else priced 10 and above.

  14. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    In search of a 6m striker...

    Only see Glen Murray as a decent option but is there concern about him getting dropped for the new guys?

    1. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, massive concern especially as the two strikers who came on scored. I knew this from the start but still picked him. Don't get him in though if you don't have him.

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh, defo doesn't help that they came on and scored. There is no decent 6m sub striker. Then go to 6.5m and there is a bunch

        1. Markus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Enter joelinton 😉

          1. badgerboy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Can't say that name in my head without a Geordie accent now!

          2. Andy'81
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Hope he plays against Chambers and Mustafi today. Wesley has back to back home games now and he's a 6.

            1. Rik Waller
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Is Wesley nailed? And on pens I see?

              1. Markus
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I reckon he's fairly pivotal to their system

              2. Andy'81
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Can't see him getting dropped after not scoring at Spurs.

              3. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Wesley is only option. Kodjia came on and was poor

            2. Markus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              And Hanley and Godfrey next week. I'm half hopeful.

          3. Rik Waller
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            ooooh

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maupay. Will play once he gets more time with the squad.

  15. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    My Trossard's sub is Montoya but he has 0 pts on my bench??
    Is that a bug or something?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently the points will appear once he gets auto subbed in.

    2. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No,click on the 0 and you ll see his points.

    3. Billybigspuds
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Bench players only shows points when they come into the team. You're ok

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It shows as zero, but click on the player and it shows their points.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        | know but this thing wasn't last year. Some of the changes are awful 🙁

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, takes some getting used to the new UI.

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They're trying to make us feel less bad about having lots of points on the bench lolz

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        To be honest I'm happier seeing Dunk with zero on my bench than seeing the points I could've had.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This is a definite plus side!

  16. Mr Q
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why didnt guilbert play yesterday?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody yet knows

  17. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Trossard and Robinson in my team?Do I need to transfer out anyone f them?

    1. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think so. Robinson especially looked good yesterday and he's OOP

  18. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Got 70 with AWB to come. None of my budget picks worked. Swapped McGinn to Robinson a few days ago. Late Rico concede. 265K. What about you?

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      76 for me and im 367k??? What is happening

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Zalk
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What? I have 73 and is 500k

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        83 with only Pérez to go.
        Rank: 126k.

        Expecting that to drop a fair bit today.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same score with Vardy Jota to go.
      Same luck with budget picks.
      Rico Trossard (!) Guilbert (!) Wood (would have gone for Barnes if not this stupid preseason 😀 ) & Fraser

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        And yes our OR is somewhere around 750k i guess

    5. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That can't be right. I'm on 69 and around 730,000. Cheeky monkey.

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry I mean 675k. I am a bit hung over but nothing like my mate who I had to carry. Blimey he was heavy. Wet himself in front of his family also.

        1. Lukakus Unit
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You're mates with Andy Caroll?

  19. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope or Ryan?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ryan, he got 1 more BAP

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope is a better goalie.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My alter ego

      2. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pope

  20. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    if you join a league now will the points from gw1 be included or points only count from gw2 onwards?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      All points get included.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      From GW1

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years

      Cheers both

  21. SHOWSTOPPERRR

    4 years, 7 months ago

    How does lundstram looked?is he a good 4.0m option?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looked decent for 4.0

    2. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. I regret getting Hanley. I thought that Besic would displace Lundstram.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He will eventually, he only just signed

  22. Lexi2014
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How did KDB look?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Like Zinchenko's twin.

      1. nisag17
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hahaha. Noticed that as well.

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Great. But it tells a lot that city scored five and he had just one assist to show for it.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He wasn't on the pitch for 2 of them

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      With his eyes

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I heard he looked good, 1 assist and still earned a bonus point so must be doing something right

  23. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What’s the deal with Bilva getting dropped?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Baldy for you

    2. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pep strikes again unfortunately.

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I am keeping him. Should be able to save a transfer this week.

  24. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best replacement for Trossard?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      See what Ross the Boss gets up to today.

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Manowar fan?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      McGinn

    3. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      HODL for now.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This, next week it will be Norwood that's the craze

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Buendia Barkley McGin maybe.
      Or waiting for another gw can be a great strategy too.
      Can Mini WC next gw

  25. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson going to be the first player to rise in price this season it seems

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Alissonexiters.

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lots of Allison to Ederson transfers happening I guess.

  26. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which players you got still to come today?

    Auba, Perez, Jota and Greenwood/Dendocker here

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cripes. Just Perez and Martial whenever that game is.

    2. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perez. 🙁

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Doherty, Pedro and Ceballos

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy Jota

    5. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kovacic, Rashford, and Mkhytarian.

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        AWB only

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perez, Joelinton and Barkley

    7. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zouma.

      Gonna transfer in Auba(C) in the Sky game...

  27. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who are non-auba owners captaining next week?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salad

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah or Sterling.

    3. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Salah. Should I go Mkhytarian rather?

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Even if I had Auba, it would be Sterling or Salah

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Sterling ahead of Salah

  28. The 5% Team
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So what happened to the FFS H2H league?

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        ah thnx 🙂

  29. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    whats your view on KDB guys?
    I have KDB in my team at the moment.
    He played really well but is he worth his price in FPL?
    or Should I wait and switch to Son/Lacazette etc for that price?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In doubt myself. Son is a scorer, KdB still more an assister.

    2. luke
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer Pepe and Son. He often assists the assister. But having said that I am playing an attacking game this year which is risky

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's an absolute bargain this year at 9.5. He will outscore Pepe/Son over the season imo, and by a considerable margin.

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Lacazette???

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah more than him I'd say, I'd rather have Vardy at that price for a striker

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He was looking at max bonus before Sterling put in his 3rd goal / Mahrez assists and that was with 1 assist only. He will tick over tremendously

    5. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have a feeling that best pick at 9.5m proce point will be Pepe. Give him a few weeks and je should be getting better returns than LDB or Son

  30. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ang chance Greenwood starts today.?

    1. KujaliaFC
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Unlikely. Rashford is the main man.

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

      Don't think so

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt it, but likely to come on

    4. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      may come from bench

    5. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Either him or James on the right

      1. KujaliaFC
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mata is another option.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Too slow for the fast system united want to play, especially on the right.
