Everton’s popular attacking assets have underwhelmed Fantasy Premier League managers so far this season.

After two matches, they have scored just once, only Crystal Palace finding the net fewer times than the Toffees at this stage.

Perhaps we should not be too surprised to see Marco Silva’s men struggle in front of goal at this stage.

During their pre-season campaign, they scored just three goals in seven matches, with Richarlison (£8.0m) the only key figure missing for most of it.

One was registered against Kenyan side Kariobangi Sharks, while Monaco and Mainz were the only other teams to concede against Everton.

The Toffees drew blanks in four of their summer friendlies, against FC Sion, Wigan Athletic, Sevilla and Werder Bremen.

Of those who found the back of the net, Joe Williams and Lewis Gibson are not first-team regulars, the former now a permanent Wigan player, while Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) is the only summer goal-scorer to have played in either Premier League match so far this season.

Accordingly, ahead of a Gameweek 3 trip to Aston Villa, Fantasy managers might be looking to move on their Everton attackers.

We have assessed the underlying statistics from their first two matches of the campaign to find out if the Toffees have simply been unlucky not to score more often, or if there are some tangible reasons for concern.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

    Siggy to Martial for free? (2FT)

      yes

    2. Effe

      Yep

    3. Yankee Toffee

      Y

    4. Kiwivillan

      Why did you wait for Siggy to drop curious? Asleep your time price changes?

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      just know it could easily backfire

    6. Lazaretti
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Keep. Must be something more urgent than selling Siggy before Aston Villa. I know Aston Villa is not that bad and Everton has not been in great goalscoring form but still if you have him I would definitely keep at least one more week.

      The picture above, says it all...

    8. Pat Bonner

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Keep siggy, villa is a great fixture for him

    Bought McGinn last night to avoid Robinsons price drop, woke up this morning with this horrible feeling that it will Grealish who will shine in the weeks to come.

    Somebody please tell me I did the right thing.

    1. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      McGinn is a great shout.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      I have McGinn but will not mind at all if Grealish kills it in FPL next few weeks 😆

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      McGinn has looked better in both games.

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Opening line of Smith press conference was "..[paraphrased] McGinn is the player that looks most likely to score for us atm. We've been working on him making those forward runs..."

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        He's saying that to make the opposition focus less on stopping grealish

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          I thought it was McGinn 6 shots 3 on target vs Bournemouth

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      What are you expecting from Aston Villa, they aren't going to run over any team, in fact they will be underdogs in virtually every game they play

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        They will still get a decent amount of goals. Plenty of mediocre teams at about the same level as them.

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          you may be right

          looking at their stats and surprisingly they've created one more chance than Liverpool along with one fewer shot attempt

          AV 3.04 xG vs 3.13 xG LIV

          small sample size though and historically promoted teams normally start well

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 23 hours ago

            5th for shots =5th shots on target

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        They're under a bit of pressure to get some points now if they want to stay up as they have very favourable fixtures and a very tricky run in.

      3. el polako
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        They do have a kind run of fixtures coming at 5.5- 6.0 its a risk I'm willing to take.

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          just be patient with them I guess, could very well be worth it

    6. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Thanks all, need to stop overthinking it I guess - gonna give wee man next several games and hope that he will bring some points in.

    7. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Looks a good pick and have him, but he's not scoring from a lot of shots (apart from the one), maybe not a finisher ....maybe Ceballos or a move up to Trossard / Mount might be better

  3. KDB4PREZ
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Salah/Perez/Auba-
    Sterling/mane/Pukki or 7 mill striker.
    Who gets more long term

    1. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Not sure you’d want Perez. If you’re set on a Leicester mid, Tielemans and Maddison are better shouts. In two weeks time I’d want A. But for the next two weeks I’d want B.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        You probably wouldn't want A in 2 weeks, look at Perez's fixtures.

        1. Francescoli
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          I was mainly referring to having Auba and Salah. I’d go Mount over Perez.

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 23 hours ago

            I guess, but Sterling's fixtures are better than Auba's. And Pukki goes on a nice run after City

            1. Francescoli
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 23 hours ago

              Yes actually, Sterling Auba and Mount would be a better combo

          2. KDB4PREZ
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 23 hours ago

            Any help would be great guys
            3-5-2
            Pope
            TAA/AWB/Digne/Rico/Lundy
            Salah/Martial/KDB/Martial/Trossard
            Auba/Deulofeu/Greenwood

            1mill itb and 1 ft. Any ideas what to do lol I’d like sterling and Auba/Perez can go ideally

            1. Francescoli
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 23 hours ago

              My personal view is you need a Liverpool mid and a city mid not two from one team. It’s either Sterling or KDB and then either Salah or Mané. Rest of the team looks great. I’d just to Deulofeu to Pukki or Barnes

              1. KDB4PREZ
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 23 hours ago

                Cheers buddy appreciate the response. I do agree with your sentiment just new to the game and feel like I’ll ruin my cash ML if don’t move for sterling with his fixtures and form.

  4. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Lundstram or McGinn?

    1. Sloths
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      To Start

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Villa 5th most shots =5th most shots on target

    3. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      McGinn

  5. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Deeney ➡
    A) Pukki (-4)
    B) Barnes (-4)
    C) wait a week and avoid a hit

    ?

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      If he's injured I'd def go A) as he will rise to 7.0 soon enough I reckon!

    2. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Both are good shouts. I want both Barnes and Pukki. Pukki will ourperform Barnes in the next two and then Barnes has a wonderful run of fixtures.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Isn't Deeney out for a few weeks. Says he had minor knee surgery on whoscored preview

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        2 months

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          Wow. It said a few weeks. Him that

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 23 hours ago

            Makes other Watford forwards interesting

  6. ATHEROMA123
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Mount or Trossard?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Went Mount

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      I have Trossard. If I was choosing right now I'd go Mount due to the City game for Brighton

    3. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Mount. Better fixtures

  7. tc93
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Tough one here lads, gimme a quick 1 or two! On WC:

    1) Laporte, Marital, Salah
    2) Zichenko, Son, Mane

    Rest of the team looks like this:
    Pope
    VVD / X / AWB / Digne
    X / Sterling / De Bruyne / X / Cellabos
    Pukki

    1 feels safer- but 2 has son!

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      1) with Mane and save the1.0 for future moves?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Agreed

      2. tc93
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Would rather go Salah over Mané!

    2. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      I'd go A

      1. tc93
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        For what reasons? Don’t think son is neccisary?

    3. Lazaretti
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      1) More nailed players. Maybe 1 with Mane to save 1m.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        *Mane instead of Salah

  8. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Need help with final jigsaw please

    A) AWB Zinchenko Ceballos
    B) KWP Montoya Martial

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A but with McGinn

    2. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A

  9. Balance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Grateful for some advice:

    A) Lanzini + Barnes
    B) Mount + Pukki (+0.2)

    1. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      B

      1. Balance

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      An easy B there for me

      1. Balance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Thanks! Do you think Mount is nailed?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          Not completely, no. He'll get minutes in almost every game though

    3. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Or C) Martial + McGoldrick

    4. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Lanzini + Pukki

      1. Balance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Unfortunately I want to keep 0.2 to bring in Martial next week!

  10. SlipVertonghen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Been mulling this over for a few days...
    Pukki +VVD.
    Or
    TAA+ Jota?

    Pukki has some tough fixtures ahead, but will shoot on sight. TAA is on corners, free kicks with great assist potential. Any thoughts?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      First pair is better for me

      1. SlipVertonghen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Cheers Cartman. That also frees up a handy 0.2 m

    2. Effe
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Pukki+VVD.

      Pukki on form and VVD more nailed because Trent could get rotated with Gomez

    3. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      1

    4. SlipVertonghen

    Wickham or Greenwood?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Greenwood will get more minutes but comes with the risk of filling your United quota

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Greenwood

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Wickham in case you want a regular third United ayer

    4. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Wickham. Plan on neither playing, but greenwood more likely to drop as people free up a spot to take a 3rd UTD player

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      The one that gets decent minutes. Oh that's neither. Only Wickham because +58% vs -21% and much more likely to get a start albeit not really

  15. Fernando Torres
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    A) Son + Digne/Walker + Mina 
    B) Mane + Soyunchu + Dunk

    Which is better? Have Kane and Sterling.

    First to 2!

    1. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      B - because LPool attacking returns potential

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Even when Son can match Mane?

        1. SlipVertonghen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          I'm not convinced he can. I doubt he'll start this week, plus you have Kane to cover Tottenham. Who knows though, right?

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Yes B - need Liverpool attack.

    Looking like an exciting move of Rico ➡️ Söyüncü for me next up 🙂

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      season defining!

    2. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Why Soyuncu? Don’t get why he is in so many teams

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        The only nailed-on 4.5 defender playing for a 'top eight' side.

        1. Francescoli
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          I can’t see Leicester being a top 8 side. Also fixtures are pretty rank going forward. Why not play the fixtures with a budget defender? Burnley are the team imo.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 23 hours ago

            4.5m is budget defender. No defenders costing less than 4.5 are nailed, imo.

            1. Francescoli
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 23 hours ago

              I’m just saying there are better 4.5 options if you play the fixtures.

              1. Francescoli
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 23 hours ago

                Have a look at the fixture ticker. Lowton/Pieters are your 4.5 guys.

                  7 years, 23 hours ago

                  4.6 in Pieters case.

                Do you mean rotate 2x4.5s? Too haphazard for me. Soyu isn't nailed in my Starting XI - he's in and out depending on fixtures in a 3-4-3/4-4-2 system.

                1. Francescoli
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 22 hours ago

                  No I mean having one starting 4.5 defender. Have a look at the defensive season ticker and Leicester are way down the list. West Ham, Burnley and Villa have the better fixtures for teams with 4.5 defender options.

          the way they've been playing 'top 16 side'!

      2. jia you
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Yeah me too, not a good enough pick to play every week and no point in having him as fodder imo...so I don't like the pick either (not a fan of rotating 4.5 defenders either though I must say).

        I've found a perfect little rotation for him 🙂

  17. Waylander
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    A) Mane and AWB
    Or
    B) Salah and Soyuncu

    Cheers

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A, unless you have a rotation plan for Söyüncü

      1. Waylander
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Soyuncu will rotate with Montoya and Lundstram.

    2. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      As a duo I think A wilk score more points.

      1. Kiwivillan

        Same

        1. Waylander

          Thanks

    3. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A by a country mile imo Soyuncu is likely a poor pick enough despite his price

      1. Waylander
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Thanks

    4. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A. Soyuncu is good in a rotation. Don't see any difference between Mane and Salah other than ownership (praying Salah doesn't haul now:) )

    5. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      A

  18. danlynch13

    I’m on this with a wild card but not that happy with VVD feel like if I pool aren’t looking great then he’s the worst out of the three pool defenders to own.. any advice on what to do? I’m not against having no pool defenders!

    Pope
    AWB/VVD/Digne
    Salah/Mount/KDB/Sterling/Martial
    Pukki/Barnes

    Button/Lundstrom/Greenwood/Kelly

    0.3itb

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Personally would try to work in Kane for Barnes and downgrade Salah (Mane), VVD, Digne.

      1. danlynch13
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Just don’t want to be stuck with playing 4.5 every week

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          A reasonable sacrifice for having 4 big hitters IMO. The expensive defenders aren't exactly representing good value at the moment (exception of Digne). Albeit only after 2 GWs so who knows!!! 🙂

        2. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          4.5 defender?

        3. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          I've gone with 3rd-5th defender no more than 4.5 for last 4-5 seasons

    2. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Mount to Ceballos, frees up enough cash to buy TAA. I'd go Ceballos over mount anyway...

  19. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Jiminez - Pukki?

    Yes/No

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Yes

    2. Waltomade
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Yep

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      I sold Jimmy to get Pukki. I'm concerned about EL fatigue affecting PL performance.

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 22 hours ago

        Likewise. Thanks

  20. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    GTG?

    Pope
    Zinchenko, AWB, Lundstram, Montoya
    Mane, Sterling, KDB, Martial
    Kane (c), Pukki

    (Button, Cantwell, Soyuncu, Greenwood)

    Bench order good? Lundstram/Montoya/Cantwell/Soyuncu rotation looks decent for the next 4 weeks.

    Cheers.

    1. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Id be tempted to play Cantwell over Lundstram

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Cheers, can't decide really.

    2. Galza
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      That looks really good...!

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Cheers

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      And when Zinchenko is out in 2-3 GW’s? That defence would make me uneasy.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Cheers. Sacrifice I'm happy to make for the 4 big hitters. Plenty of options at 5.5 if and when Zinchenko gets dropped. Would be surprised if Mendy comes straight in to be honest but we will see! Was considering upgrading to Digne but would mean a 4.0 def on the bench.

    4. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      V good team.

      Personally prefer upgrading def and get Digne and VVD in. Martial being the ‘victim’ of my decision.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Cheers. Yeah there's a few options isn't there. Martial just seems too good an option at that price and OOP. But we will see 🙂

  21. akhilrajau
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Pope or heaton To play?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Heaton for me just for this GW. Close though.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Pope facing a very tired pack of Wolves. Him.

  22. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Have both Kane and Sterling..Who should I captain??

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Kane.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        I'd do Kane if I had him although I'm more than happy captaining Raz.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          Yeah Sterling great shout also.

  23. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    People commenting as if you don’t get FT’s when you play WC. It’s fine to go without Salah/Mane for ARS/bur and then an easy 2FT IF you want them at Anfield against Toon.

    Also, cannot believe anyone is picking Son. He is an unknown quantity this season. No idea how Poch will line up, if he starts and how he will settle. Was quite poor at the back end of last season also. It’s a wait and see on Son, Kane is the man this GW

    1. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      tell em!

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      "People commenting as if you don’t get FT’s when you play WC. It’s fine to go without Salah/Mane for ARS/bur and then an easy 2FT IF you want them at Anfield against Toon."

      Well, that's just the thing. Getting them back in is do-able, but hardly easy. It assumes you have no other pressing concerns, you're happy to drop one or two other valuable players and no price rises have hampered you. I'd only go without both if I were sure I wouldn't want them back for some time.

      Agree re. Son

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        Not to say it’s the correct or incorrect strategy, just that there are options. Too many people shut down out of the box ideas based on popular sentiment

    3. Galza
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Agree with all.
      I’ve gone without on mine and have got Firmino.
      It allows me to have Sterling and KDB in midfield for their nice run of games.
      As you say, if it back fires then I can just use 2 FTs to correct it...

    4. Fernando Torres
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Son has one of the best points per minute of anyone... better than Mane and Salah

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        I can’t seem to find any match data for him this season though? 😉

      2. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 23 hours ago

        That's last season though. Risky to assume he'll immediately pick up where he left off.

        1. Fernando Torres
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 23 hours ago

          That is the last 3 seasons...

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Why would you not want them for ARS/bur....hardly tough fixtures is it? start of season, I thought I’ll get Moura in and then can easily move him on if someone like martial fires, I’ll have 2ft....Now I’m weighing up if the move is worth -4 as I have other fires to put out

    6. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      I did it from the start and many on here thought I was nuts (that Norwich fixture was high risk admittedly). One is never more than a hit away from getting in any big hitter really!
      Agree on Son, Kane is the one for this GW for sure based on what we know!

    7. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 22 hours ago

      Not bad fixtures IMO but agree re: allowing for some FTs in a couple of weeks. Think Son will be gold again but big risk to put him in this week IMO especially given he's same price as KDB!

    8. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 22 hours ago

      I think you're overestimating Arsenal.

  24. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    So,

    1 Start Heaton (EVE) or pope (wol)?
    2 Start Lundstram (LEI) or king (MCI?

  25. ATHEROMA123
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    GTG?

    Pope (Heaton)
    Wan Bissaka/ Digne / Zinchenko (Lundstram/Peiters)
    Mane/ KDB / Sterling / Trossard ( Cantwell)
    Barnes / Rash / Pukki

    On WC
    O.1 in bank
    Trossard - > Mount next GW

  26. Kushal
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Bench 1
    A. Wilson
    B. Lundstram

    1. slamdunk

      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Lundstram

  27. slamdunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 hours ago

    Final decision who to go for?

    A-Dunk
    B-Montoya
    C-Other 4.5 Def if so who?

    Many thanks.

    Players losing value everywhere! Siggy, Barkley...Rico not playing...

    Just done VVD to Maguire and King to Pukki with my freebies.

    Worth Barkley to Trossard (or someone else) for a hit?

    1. danlynch13
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Trossard looks good this week

  29. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years

    On wc - Zinchenko or Mina? (no Digne)

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Zin for me.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Mina - he's nailed whereas Zinc could lose his place in a few GWs

  30. thepeen555

    Today is deadline day. Don’t leave it too late!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 hours ago

      Sorted my transfers out - 3 trannies for a 4-point hit - back last Monday. I daren't take another look lest I do something stupid and waste my wildcard!

      1. thepeen555
        • 10 Years

        Lol yeah stay away don’t be tempted now
