Wilson and King reward owners’ patience as Bournemouth beat Villa

Goals: Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) | Harry Wilson (£6.0m) Josh King (£6.5m)

Assists: Jack Grealish (£6.0m) | Callum Wilson (£8.0m)

Bonus Points: El Mohamady x 3 Luiz x 2 H.Wilson/Grealish x 1

Bournemouth battled to a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, leaving their hosts still winless on their return to the Premier League. 

An early penalty was converted by Josh King (£6.5m) after Tom Heaton (£4.5m) had fouled Callum Wilson (£8.0m) in the box to put the Cherries 1-0 up, before Bournemouth debutant Harry Wilson (£6.0m) doubled their lead with an outstanding strike.

The Wilson and King combination is a well-known and lethal duo to Fantasy managers, and the two strikers did not disappoint on Saturday. For Wilson, the assist for King’s converted penalty means the striker has now recorded attacking returns in two consecutive matches.

And for King, his well-taken penalty will inevitably add to his confidence as Bournemouth bid to build on their unbeaten start to the 2019/20 campaign with promising fixtures from Gamweeks 4 to 7, though first, they must face reigning Champions Manchester City at Dean Court in Gameweek 3. 

Harry Wilson scored his first goal for Bournemouth on Saturday

Eddie Howe’s side were buoyant and energetic in attack, yet this enthusiasm was poorly managed by central midfielder Philip Billing (£5.0m) who was lucky to remain on the pitch after a number of poor challenges and was consequently substituted by Howe at half-time. 

For Villa, this was a disappointing result after their promising performance against Spurs last week.

Manager Dean Smith will be understandably frustrated that his side were able to deliver such a strong first-half performance in the capital but fall so short of the required standards in the opening 45 minutes at Villa Park. 

There are a number of assets in Villa’s squad who have the potential to offer value in 2019/20, yet investing in a team who are yet to prove themselves in the top-flight and who remain winless is a difficult decision to justify even if there is a wealth of potential value-for-money options in midfield and defence.

It was a mixed afternoon for Douglas Luiz who was sloppy in possession in the first half but scored a wonder-goal in the second

Tyrone Mings (£4.5m) delivered another commanding performance at the heart of the host’s defence alongside Bjorn Engels (£4.5m), whilst a wonder strike from Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) was the highlight of Villa’s afternoon, a superb effort from outside the box to drag Smith’s side back into contention for a tense final 15 minutes in front of a boisterous home crowd. 

An assist for Jack Grealish (£6.0m) will be pleasing returns for the 6% of managers who backed the Villa captain, and with a crucial run of fixtures on the horizon to ensure relegation does not become an immediate concern for the club, he is likely to feature prominently and could deliver further attacking returns.

John McGinn (£5.6m) was relentless in the middle of the park for Villa, but the Scotsman was unable to deliver successive attacking returns to build on his goal away at Spurs in Gameweek 1.

The abilities of McGinn and Grealish are certainly documented, yet whether either of these players can be considered a viable and reliable asset for Fantasy managers given Villa’s volatility in the opening Gamweeks of 2019/20 is a question that remains unanswered.

Grealish got his first attacking returns of the 2019/20 season

Villa’s club-record signing Wesley (£6.0m) had a difficult afternoon against Bournemouth, failing to fulfil his role as a capable target-man to hold up the ball and unleash Villa’s faster attacking options such as Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Trezeguet (£5.5m). 

It is too early to make a firm judgement on Wesley after just two matches, but from the perspective of early impressions, the Brazilian is unlikely to be a player that is featuring prominently for Fantasy managers, especially given the value that could lie in Villa’s defence alongside the early attacking returns from Grealish and McGinn in midfield. 

Villa’s next three games – Everton (home), Crystal Palace (away) and West Ham (home) – are of huge importance in their bid to have a successful season and prevent getting dragged into a relegation dogfight, and these will be games that are closely monitored by Fantasy managers in assessing whether Smith’s side represent a squad worthy of investment for the early stages of 2019/20. 

Meanwhile, Bournemouth and Howe remain unbeaten and will look to build on their early successes and continue the integration of players such as Harry Wilson who could yet become a differential pick in Bournemouth’s already impressive attacking armoury. 

Reflecting on the game for us, The Villa View’s Dan Bardell said:

A game where neither team really impressed defensively, meaning budget defenders from both sides came away with low scores.

We need to cut out the errors, goalscorer Luiz at £4.5m obviously bagged but I wouldn’t expect him to be scoring too many, he’s a pure a defensive midfielder.

McGinn and Trezeguet looked our liveliest players. McGinn is going to get somewhere between 7-10 goals this season in my opinion. He will play every week and he just suits the Premier League.

For Bournemouth, Harry Wilson looks a shout, especially with Brooks out. Scored from range yesterday and will probably take his share of dead balls. Fraser looked good as well but his price increase puts me off him.

Billing as a budget midfielder doesn’t look advisable, could have easily been sent off yesterday. Good player, but not for Fantasy football.

    Is sticking with Aubameyang that bad an option with Adrian and Liverpool up next, or is swapping him with Kane a no brainer? What about a taking a -4 for KDB and Jota/Barnes instead? I already have Pukki.

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

      Auba to Kane captain and boom

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

      I think Arsenal will score v Liverpool, however there should be goals and goals against Newcastle.

      KDB, Jota and Barnes all look good too

    3. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      This is a close one...

      Kane in and maybe captain looks like the obvious...

      Spurs have a nice run of fixtures after

      KDBs got BOU away, who city struggled last year for some reason 0-1 away and 3-1 at home....

      Barnes vs Wolves is difficult, but wouldnt bet against him scoring again....medium-long term BURN have a lovely run of fixtures

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Short term think there's more upside to Kane move...

        KDB only got an assist away to WHAM with 5 goals scored so... cold same again or he could get into double figures...

        Kane at home vs NEW could be hattrick territory

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

      I'd prioritize KdB

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

    This would be so much easier if Ceballos didn't have those two fixtures.

    Mcginn or Ceballos, Cecallos or Mcginn...

    I think the face Arsenal are a better team & Ceballos is an absolute class act. I thought fixtures suited Mcginn but Everton at home isn't exactly easy either

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

      McGinn imo not just fixtures but goal threat as well

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ceballos had three shots vs Bunley, so not without goal threat

    2. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil will impact ceballos. 250k a week means game time

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

        Not when he's ringing in sick every week it doesn't 😉

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Won't be every week though. Foolish to think otherwise

  3. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    the best thing about Son is he really screws Kane owners over

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

      ? Kane plays better with Son than with Moura

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Son will outscore Kane enough times to make your opponents ditch Kane for Son lol. Kane owners worry about Son, Son owners dont worry about Kane

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

          Delusional gravless newbie

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            This.

          2. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            ok in 3 weeks when Kane ownership drops and Son ownership spikes we see whos right yea. What did Kane do in that last game? What did Kane do in the CL final? Thats Kane ok, those weeks will make fickle owners ditch him when they see Son cheaper outperforms him.

            And btw if you judge someone on their grav then what does it say about you having an everton player there? I think your the newbie here

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

              His record speaks for itself mate, no need to explain that. And I’m an avid and loyal Everton supporter so what does that have to do with the price of bread?

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

          nonsense

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

      Not really, hoping he can draw a few pens

    3. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Er. No

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

      Kane was killing it before injury last season with Son. They were feeding each other

    5. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Well, this is a terrible take.

  4. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wolves def or Arsenal def for 5.0?

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

      Neither with those fixtures..will look at getting in AMN post the international break though

    2. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nacho !!!

  5. tom2224
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    My current team:

    Pope Button
    Digne Robertson VVD Lundstram KWP
    Salah Sterling Martial Dendoncker Haydn
    Kane Jota Greenwood

    2FT

    Thinking robertson > Dunk and Martial > KDB

    Whats everybody's thoughts?

    1. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Would have to wait for tomorrows game before moving martial on

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I love KDB but I wouldn't sacrifice Martial for him.

  6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I know a lot here still believe in Liverpool DF but I’m not convinced & feel there is better value elsewhere:

    Henderson Button

    Digne AWB Zinchenko Montoya Lundstram

    Salah Sterling De Bruyne Martial Dendoncker

    Kane Wickham Greenwood

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

    Considering Perez and Robbo to Lund and Kdb. Exact funds.

    Do I have to act tonight? Not big on early moves

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would to be safe

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think I might have answered you previously, but yes good move imo. Did not understand the Perez appeal since he was not productive for Newcastle

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        12 goals from 33 starts in prem not bad, considering how poor Newcastle were.

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

      Looks good

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I found it heavily weakens the defense so I’m against that move,

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Suggested the same moves hours ago. Not sure if I should go KDB or Son. Or do Wilson to Kane instead.

  8. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How does Son's return impact Lamela? Surely Lamela will have a few more opportunities to nail his place down?

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

      Son will hurt Lamela & Moura's minutes.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think he will start on the bench

  9. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Flags used to show on the name of the player as well didn't they?

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

      Yes, the game is all over the shop

  10. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have already done Wilson > Pukki.

    Have 1.4ITB and 1FT.

    Guilbert + Bilva > Lundstram + KdB -4?

    Ryan
    Robertson VVD Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Bilva Perez Buendia
    Pukki Jota

    Button Guilbert Rico Greenwood

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

      Almost rude not to

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Do it.

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

      Not for -4. Bilva should have scored against Spurs and is more than capable of points against Bournemouth

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Reckon he starts? Mahrez might play, he was excellent against West Ham...

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

          Yep. He was great against Spurs (albeit no FPL returns), Guardiola loves what he brings to City and the only reason he didn’t start against West Ham was a minor injury concern

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I do agree. Like Bilva is a favourite and was unlucky not to score. But my punt hasn’t worked on him and I feel KdB is just going to score far more points...

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

              It’s unlucky your punt hasn’t worked though (unforeseen circumstances GW1 and also missing a high xG change GW2), but I do concur.. KDB will easily outscore him and looks to be the best player in the league currently

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

      I did -8 last week for +0.3m price swing. Pukki points paid for it

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Fair play son! I chose Buendia for GW1 with this fixture in mind and didn’t pay off!

        Pukki no brainier right now in my books.

        Lundstram provides the money to get KdB and a playing player on my bench but not sure it’s worth a hit this week...

    5. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.

  11. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What's wrong with Palace? Manager too old to manage the players?

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

      best player doesn't want to be there

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

      Benteke leading the line = Too reliant on Zaha.

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

      Zaha handing in transfer request, the others are pretty gash. Benteke, Ayew and Wickham aren’t exactly going to scream goals

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cant imagine dressing room spirits are high with the best player wanting to leave several windows in a row and their best young player and player of the season being sold. Their team is decent player for player (except Benteke) but in a bad spot mentally right now. Add in a defensive and boring manager and you have a recipe for a relegation season. Hodgson fired by november

  12. MASTER ROSHI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan (Button)
    VVD Robbo Digne Zinch (Lund)
    Salah Sterling Perez Robinson (Dendo)
    Auba Ings (Greenwood)

    Which of these options sounds better (2FT)

    A) Robinson > Ceballos
    B) Perez, Robinson > Mount, Mcginn
    C) Perez, Ings > Mount, King

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

      I like B. Not sure know is the time for buying Arsenal and King hasn't impressed apart from being on penalties

  13. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Either of these transfers look good for - 4?

    A) Salah, Perez, Stones to Mane, Martial, Otamendi

    B) TAA, Perez, Stones to Lundstrom, De Bruyne, Otamendi

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

      Ota too short term imo..stones should be back in a couple of weeks or so

      1. Oooo Matron
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Could do Zinchenko instead of Otamendi.

  14. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
    • 4 Years

    Whom to kick out for Lundstram? (funding KDB)
    A) Van Dijk
    B) TAA

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B

    3. Dynamic Duos

    Is there a 4.5 or 5m mid to rotate with Dendonker

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cantwell. Wouldn't bother rotating.

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Have Pukki and not sure about 2 Norwich but seems the best bet

  16. Warby84
    • 8 Years

    Everyone seems to have Pukki now, but did everyone get pukki Points??

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years

      of course not

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

      I saw someone in mini League captained him this week.

      I just got him in now but missed the points. next fixtures don't look amazing...

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No but think he’s a natural goal scorer in an attacking team and also an enabler

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This.

          Got him earlier tonight. Fully expect him to blank next GW now, but managed to turn Fraser and Wilson into KDB and Pukki, so I think that will be worth it.

          Pukki won’t score every week but he’s going to terrorise defences every time he plays.

    3. jia you

      Yeah brought him in this week but slightly annoyed as had the armband on him for most of the week and then played with the ownership with Salah. And now most in MLs getting him, will,just have to find the next hat trick and stay one step ahead.

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

      I had him from start....along with Cantwell! Love that fact I got slated on here for both players in my team before Gameweek 1, now everyone is putting them in haha!

      BDACE or BDAEC would be the CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi order of merit. (who else do you have in defence?)

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

      Not A or E.
      Liverpool and Chelsea defences don't look very solid at the moment. I favour B if you have no other city defence coverage but Rose or Coleman look more likely to offer attacking returns.

      AWB/Maguire/Shaw are being overlooked, I feel.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        (Ignore, as per above comment.)

      Tricky. Good fixtures ahead.

    Not feeling great about my team, would 8 changes be worth a WC?

    Out: TAA Diop Salah BSilva Perez King Greenwood Dendoncker

    In: Lundstram Elmohamady Sterling Mane Mount Pukki Wickham Cantwell

    Would leave me with:

    Pope Heaton
    VVD Zinchenko Montoya Elmohamady Lundstram
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount Cantwell
    Kane Pukki Wickham

      8 = yes

      1. boogle
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You think it looks ok or too knee jerk?

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why not upgrade Bernardo to DeBruyne and Perez to Cantwell??

      1. boogle
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have DeBruyne already, current team:

        Pope Heaton
        TAA VVD Zinchenko Montoya Diop
        Salah KDB BSilva Perez Dendoncker
        Kane King Greenwood

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Then Silva + Perez > Son + Cantwell?

          Or just Silva > Martial.

  20. SADIO SANÉ

    Kane vs Mane vs Son vs KDB is a real tough one - I already have Moura and Salah, so it's quite hard to take either of those out before their fixtures (assuming Moura actually starts) - and Kane does have a nice captain-able fixture...

    most people been put off the Auba -> Kane move?

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

      Im probably doing Auba to Kane for -4. But Im definitely waiting until deadline

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        no risk of Kane rising before deadline is there mate?

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

      Moura won’t start though

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        won't or might not?

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

          Won’t, not with Son back

          1. Pegboy
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            He still might. I'd give it a 30% chance. Just as likely Lamela misses out and Eriksen might be dropped too.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    2.4m ITB. 1 FT.

    Pope
    TAA / VVD / Digne
    Salah / Sterling / Perez / Barkley
    Pukki / Jota / Wood

    Button // Montoya / Dendoncker / Kelly

    How does the following look?

    Barkely/TAA > KDB/AWB (-4)

    I still find it amazing AWB got bonus points in a 4-0 win without attacking returns. Well aware TAA is good value, but the United fanbase coverage does worry me when they do well.

    Palace next and they look absolutely toothless in attack.

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      Great move
      Go for it
      No Spurs cover could be a problem

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not interested in Spurs massively at the moment. Could be at my own filly but City on another level.

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

      ok, but I would watch the game tomorrow first to be sure Wan Bissaka and utd defence look worth it

  22. yakirh
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Robertson owners.

    Keep or Sell?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wondering whether to sell him or Virgil

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

      Just to another defender, no. To free up cash, depends on who comes in.

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

        Well
        Mostly to fit Kane

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

          If its to Lundstram or a 4.5m one who has to play every GW then its a lot of pressure on Kane to deliver points. Could work.

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm tempted to go 2 LIV attackers and no def with Allisson out

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Holding, he'll come good!

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

      Sold

  23. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Yes or No?

    Fraser + Wilson ➡️ Cantwell + Kane (2FT)

    Leaves me with:

    Ryan
    Coleman Lundstram VanDijk
    Salah Perez KDB Sterling Cantwell
    Kane Wesley

    Button Greenwood Ake Kelly

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Looks great

  24. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) VVD + Moura > Soyuncu/Lundstram + KdB (-4)

    B) Rico > Lundstram (free)

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

      A

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, and would you rather keep VVD or Robbo?

  25. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    TAA vs Firmino - need to drop one for extra funds for KDB/Pukki

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

      Liverpool defence look leaky. I doubt there will be a clean sheet next week.

      1. Kellz86
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, I think that completes my input needed to make my move. Good luck next week

  26. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pulled the trigger mates!

    TAA Perez Wilson —> Bissaka, KDB, Jota.

    Super risky. But had to do it tonight.

    Thank you for the feedback. Cheers

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That’s risky with Jota not playing yet. I usually don’t have sympathy with early transfers but atleast you’re not wildcarding...

  27. Keep Calm and Play On

    Evening All,
    Ryan-Button
    TAA-VVD-Digne-Diop-Hanley
    Salah-Sterling-Moura-Perez-Donker
    Wilson-Jota-Ings

    Worth a -8 for:
    Diop>Lundstram
    Pérez>KDB
    Wilson>Pukki
    Ings>Greenwood

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

      Go for it

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

      might be worth -8 to bring in KDB and Pukki but that might not be the way to do it.

      Not worried that Moura losses his place to Son next week? He might be the one to bump up to KDB.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I’m thinking that as well, but if Moura gets even 30mins I think he can get a return. Once Son takes his place I can downgrade one of the D to make money for Moura to Son

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

      Do not -8

  28. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Annoyed that I've blocked myself from doing Fraser + Perez to KDB + Cantwell.
    Looks a nice move but already have Pukki and two fodder 🙁

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

      Can’t believe you captained Pukki ya sly dog. Two hatties to start the season is unbelievable

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        haha, my armband is on fire!

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

          Kane hat-trick incoming next GW

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            If I end up doing Auba to Kane he will be my captain 🙂

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

              Please do it so I can ride your wave sir

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

      Haha, and to think I advised you not to captain pukki.

      Hat tip sir!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        many did mate, nice to get advice on here but you have to trust your own instinct more at times 🙂

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

      Absolutely, trust you’re instincts and enjoy the glow. Big shout and paid off

      Btw, have just shipped pukki in. Real deal

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers mate, he is the real deal but think.Norwich will go through plenty of sticky patches this season so lets just hope Farke keeps his foot on the gas for Pukkis sake 🙂

  29. edgardavids
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Robertson > Soyuncu
    B) Robertson > Lundstram

    1) Martial > KDB
    2) Siggy > KDB

    I have TAA, Sterling and Digné.

  30. dezille
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Fraser, Wilson > Martial, Barnes
    B) Fraser, Wilson > Kevin De Bruyne, Calvert-Lewin/Maupay
    C) Fraser > Mount, then decide whether to upgrade Wilson to Vardy
