Which players did early Wildcarders sign for Gameweek 3?

Under 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers played their Wildcard for Gameweek 3.

After two weeks of the campaign, 6.8% of players worldwide pulled the trigger to create themselves a new squad.

That was 2.4% more than played their Wildcards in Gameweek 2, just 4.4% of managers shaking things up at the first hurdle.

Worldwide chip usage for Gameweek 3

So far, 11.3% of managers have played their Wildcards.

Not surprisingly, it was the most popular chip for Gameweek 3, as the majority of FPL players hope to use the others later in the campaign.

The Wildcard has certainly been the talk of the town in the Fantasy Football Scout community this week, so it is helpful to have a look at the Wildcard templates both overall and among the current top 10,000 managers.

Understandably, Sterling is the most popular player in Wildcards for Gameweek 3, chosen in 73.0% of them.

Following his four goals in two games, Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) is just behind the Manchester City man, currently sat in 61.2% of Wildcard squads.

Snapped up by a similar number of managers was Sheffield United’s budget option John Lundstram (£4.1m).

His 14-point haul in Gameweek 2 has convinced 61.2% of Wildcarders of his ability to offer value this season.

Despite much of the pre-season debate revolving around whether or not we should have Sterling or Kevin de Bruyne (£9.6m), those who have Wildcarded early simply asked ‘why not both?’

The Belgian midfielder is the second-most popular option in his position among those who went back to the drawing board for Gameweek 3.

These early-movers have also largely ditched Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), opting to spread the cash elsewhere.

In order to facilitate this, 46% of these managers have opted for Sadio Mané (£11.5m) as their coverage for the Liverpool attack.

They have also moved away from the Reds’ defence following a disappointing start to the season.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) is the most fashionable of Liverpool stoppers with 36.5% presence in overall Wildcard squads for Gameweek 3, with Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) not earning enough interest to make the top-five in this position.

Manchester United players are also proving popular, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.6m), Anthony Martial (£7.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) in the template.

Number of chips used by managers in the current top 10k

Even though those currently in the upper echelons of the game are still, to some extent, skewed by chip usage, it is still interesting to see who some of these managers have turned to in order to press home their advantage.

Their Wildcard template picture is actually remarkably similar to the overall one, the only differences coming in the budget areas.

Lewis Dunk (£4.6m) has been turned to with no Liverpool defenders making the cut, while Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) is in 33.9% of top 10k Wildcard squads.

Just 10.2% of managers have used the Triple Captain so far, with 2.3% of them deploying it for Gameweek 3.

Kane appears to have been the chief recipient of this enhanced armband among the current top 10,000, while Sterling, Rashford and Mané also received attention for it.

    For people.who watched the game how did Guilbert play? Is there a chance that he stays in frist team?

      Birmingham Mail ratings. 8 bit generous but didn't hurt his chances. One of reasons I sold Heaton on WC was open up 3rd Villa slot for maybe 4.4m defender

      1. 3 A
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        @kiwi Trezeguet's rating is 8, more than McGinn and Grealish at 7.5.

        Nailed at left wing as Jota looks to rotate with El Ghazi in right wing?

        Can he be better than other mid?

        1. Permian23
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          manager mentioned mcginn as goal threat. seems they all work around wesley up top.

          pick the in form one

        2. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Trez played RW last 2 and El Ghazi dropped as poor but came on and scored a great goal. Smith wants competition for every spot and it's looking like working

          1. Permian23
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            what price Trez?

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              6m I think. I think he puts in a good shift in attack and defence but prefer others for FPL on what I've seen so far

              1. Permian23
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                he's at a price level you can move to other good options, so worth a punt.

                tbh i was more impressed with Brighton/Trossard maupay and mcginn

                1. iL PiStOlErO
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I had him in my presewson draft but changed to Mcginn before season started. At the end it was good choice considering first 3 GW but I think Trezeguet is the one to watch, he could have good season, good player.

                  1. Permian23
                    • 13 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    what about trossard?

                    1. iL PiStOlErO
                      • 4 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      He played very good last game, think he is nailed. I think he can be discovery this season. I know its Belgian league but his stats last season are great. Think he can be nice option, especially under new manager, Brighton can maybe score more goals this season.

                      1. Permian23
                        • 13 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        the stats are amazing.

                      2. iL PiStOlErO
                        • 4 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Exactly

                4 years, 6 months ago

                also, with Palace and NEW in big trouble, i reckon Villa might attack a few games thinking 36 points is enough.

                1. Kiwivillan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Huh? I think we're aiming for more than scraping 40pts

                  1. Permian23
                    • 13 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    i meant its safe to attack games, 2 teams half down already

                    1. Kiwivillan
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Smith MO is attack every team. 2 weeks and 1 game into season a bit soon to be writing off teams though I had Newcastle and Palace in my relegation predictions pre season

            2. iL PiStOlErO
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              5.5

            3. 3 A
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              He is only 5.5, the cheapest. McGinn 5.6, Grealish 6.0

    2. L S P
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      i was impressed with him. Got forward a fair amount. i foresee some att rerturns.

      as a heaton owner, it wasn't fun watching their defense but, as a mcginn owner, they're a fun to team to watch.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nice to hear, in preseason he was really good

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all. Hope he will keep that spot but the important thing is that he finally got involved.

  2. KDB4PREZ

    Sterling/Pukki
    Salah/Deulofeu
    Who gets more long term?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      First. Probably

    2. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      first by miles.

  3. zotter
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How’s this for -4

    Robbo. Wilson >> awb. Firmino

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      dont get Firm imo

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I own three of those four but wouldnt sell Robbo for Bobby myself. Still praying for a Bobby hattie today though 😉

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I still have vvd if that makes a diff?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          kind of does make a diff tbh, not the worst move at all if you go with it...GL

        2. Permian23
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          200 points for 7.0m is a bargain.

          normally costs 12m

          Leave Robbo and VVD. Robbo can get 10 assists and 2 goals, VVD 5 to 8 goals

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            8 goals for VVD lol c'mon get a grip mate!

            1. Permian23
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              he had 4 last year, without VAR watching penalty box fouls/holding

            2. Permian23
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              he's huge and great in the air.

      2. Permian23
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        its hard for Firmino to score unless CB are bad. Arsenals are bad.

        1. The Artist
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          You know it’s Sokratis/Luiz not Mustafi/Koscielny, right?

          Slightly different proposition.

          Just saying.

    3. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      keep Robbo all year.

      Mane is the man at LIV

    4. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Well, hold Robbo for the next two at least! Wilson got a nice run of fixtures from gw4 onwards, wouldn't do that just now.

  4. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Question: Do you want a team to win a pen if you own the opposition GK?

    For me I do in the first half but not in the second if he still has CS

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds right yes. Also depends how likely he is to keep a sheet. If I owned Alison or Ederson I wouldn’t want them to concede a penalty at any time if they still have a sheet

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much no with a cs intact but yes otherwise. Also depends a bit who it's against and thus who's taking it.

    3. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      if he has already conceded an even number of goals, and your competitors don't own the penalty taker, then yes.

    4. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      in my case there is only upside

    5. Permian23
      • 13 Years

      defo if pogba is taking it.

    Thoughts on Pukki + Digne to Wesley + Engels (-4)?
    Leaves me money itb for future moves!

      madness move

      1. jia you

        please explain?

    2. The Man Pastore

      Absolutely not

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't watch the game, are Villa that good?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yup, doing Sterling to Grealish soon!
        On a serious note, from mates at the game last night, they reckon their home games will be epic (atmosphere was seemingly unreal) and that Wesley looked very good...which surprised me as I wasnt impressed with him at all from his first two games!

        1. The Artist
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It finally came together for him this GW. Great run into space and finish for his goal, assisted the assister for the second and was generally great with his hold up play. On pens too, and you’d have to think that a team with Grealish in it is going to win its share of pens.

          I’ve had him from the start and, though worried after he was hooked early last GW, am happy to be holding him with the upcoming fixtures.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Was incredible run. Had to rewatch several times thinking how did he get away from the CBs so easily

        2. Bucky Barnes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I watched Villas first game and Wesley looked like he should be working at the snack bar not on the pitch, so impressive if he's come on that much.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No but we were unlucky against Bournemouth apart from silly individual errors so 3pts from first 3 games is about right. Some nice fixtures coming up

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      I can’t tell if joking, defo don’t do that mate

      Good god no

    6. Nabs Kebabs

      horrendous

    7. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

      Can't go wrong!

    8. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      *I guess my wit was lost on some, so just to clarify my post was in jest 🙂
      (dont you ppl know I'm Pukki's biggest fan!)

      1. Permian23
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I like a good old fashioned finisher, but think he'll dry up.

        Looking at Kean and Abraham when they're up and running, for his place.

      Oops reply fail to above.

  8. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Very impressed with Norwich, Villa and Sheffield so far.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      And not at all impressed by Newcastle, Palace and Bournemouth.

      1. Permian23
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        100% agree.

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed, chance all could stay up on evidence thus far!

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'll be shocked if Sheffield go down. They are too well drilled not to stay up. Norwich are going to need to keep scoring goals to stay up but I think they have the fire power. Villa I'm not too sure, I don't think they quite have enough goals in them to account for their poor defence. But they will put up a strong fight.

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, doesn't look like neither are gonna go back down

      1. Permian23
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        no, palace are poor and Newcastle worse.

        18th between SHU/NOR/BHA etc

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          SOU more of a chance to go down than BHA imo

          1. Permian23
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            yes i agree

          2. Permian23
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            watford see, weaker too, and west ham drifting. could be good for BHA

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yep Watford and West Ham look kak too. But both teams have a bit too much quality to end up in a relegation fight.

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Let's be honest though, as soon as Newcastle appointed Steve Bruce they were going back down. Palace too reliant on Zaha. I don't think Sheffield or Brighton will be fighting for 18th. I think Villa, Norwich, Bournemouth and Southampton will fight it out.

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Villa is weak. Everton was totally over them at their home

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agree. See my comment above. They're not quite good enough in either attack or defence but I think they will atleast put up a very strong fight.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lol there's more than one way to skin a cat. We were all over Bournemouth. Smith talked after the game about catching Everton on the counter and Villa 3 shots on target to Everton 1

      3. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        tbf they still won 2 nil against a team that many so called experts are predicting a top 6 finish for!

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Chelsea, Wolves and Leicester are miles ahead of Everton.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I wouldnt go that far mate as Leicester have looked a bit meh but Everton def overrated imo

      4. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        After 3 games

        Villa 36 shots 14 on target 4 goals
        Everton 34 shots 5 on target 1 goal

        Which team's fans should be more concerned?

        1. Nabs Kebabs

          Now show us the defensive stats...Villa are in big trouble mate.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Tottenham(14) West Ham(13) and Burnley(12) and conceded more shots on target in 2 games than Villa(11) have in 3

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Villa havent played City yet which makes the above skewed for want of a stronger word!

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Spurs away skewed our defensive stats

          • 14 Years

          In attack, no brainer. A decent attack would have scored the 2 big chances at least.

      5. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        xG in the game:

        Villa: 0.73
        Everton: 1.13

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          xG Villa 1 - 2 Bournemouth

          Villa 2.38
          Bmouth 1.64

          Football's a funny old game

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Well I do have Bournemouth in the relegation fight with Villa 😉

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              You must have half the league in relegation fight

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Nope.

                Newcastle are going down.

                The other two spots will be between:
                Palace, Villa, Bournemouth, Norwich, Southampton. Palace and Villa looking the most likely.

    This squad in one of my MLs is worth a click, I don't think they're playing bench boost.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/82458/event/3

    Always interesting to see how Arsenal fans rate Auba

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      12 pts already benched after 1 game lol

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wow that's a crazy move for a non-Arsenal fan, but for an Arsenal fan come on have some faith!

    3. Permian23
      • 13 Years

      an emotional hedge.

      *some Arsenal fans

      1. Emiliano Sala

        21 matches

        1. Emiliano Sala

          Fail

  10. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Penalties numbers haven't changed imo
    Not that much when they said VAR + penalties

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Two GWs!

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Penalties haven't increased significantly anywhere VAR been used. As much chance to rule out one unfairly given in past as give more not given. Not sure why so many assumed VAR = extra penalties

  11. Wakanda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    a very pleasant surprise to see Wesley score, hopefully some price rise for me to cash out after his favourable fixtures

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If it's a surprise to see your striker scoring something's wrong!

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

        that's the only budget forward that i can afford

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Fair play for being patient with him as he looked piss poor in the first two games! Many Villa fans rate him highly though so he could well kick on...GL

  12. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Imagine being on a WC and not owning Kane today...stuff of nightmares 😉

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He'll probably play deep and blank anyway 😉

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

        hopefully son position is higher than kane

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years

          Son is so far forward always. Even when hes in South Korea hes actually in the DMZ

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years

        No attacker needs to play deep v NEW mate, trust me!

  14. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Would you be looking to offload Coleman if you owned?
    Thinking Digne or no one from the Everton defence.

    Lots of options around the 5.5m mark. Have double Liv defence too and thinking I need to make some defensive changes.

    Current D.
    Ryan.
    Coleman, Robbo, VVD, Lundstram, A Smith.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      One Everton defender is fine just not two. Coleman out is a bit fickle, u picked Coleman because he is cheaper and his attackin intent. Give him time imo

      1. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        1 Eve defender is enough- Digne looking a lot more dangerous FPL wise than Coleman it must be said. Digne looking like a top pick for the season it seems. Ownership is another factor.

        Not sure Coleman is worth the 0.5m or so less than Digne now. I can downgrade Robbo or VVD to make up for it too if needed.

        Looking to be more proactive this season than normal and that means getting on the guys who are looking close to must haves. Digne may be but Coleman def is not looking it atm.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I get your point and agree that digne is nearly essential given his ownership especially amongst top managers. I don't have Coleman or digne but when I wildcard I will get digne one hundred percent

    2. Stoneleigh
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have Coleman, he’s going nowhere. Could easily have had an assist last night if C-L wasn’t a donkey.

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    That picture of digne lol wtf he karate kicked someone?

    Good to go for GW4 ?

    Potential WC Team
    Ederson
    Lund,Dunk,AWB,Coleman
    Sterling,Mane,Martial,KDB,Son
    Pukii

    Which one better mate?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like a GW3 WC.
      Only Perez looks a bit off.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Is it okay for me to hold the WC?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          You have 6 WC starters currently.
          If you think Kane fails vs Arsenal then a hit gets another.

          1. Chelsea91
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Ederson

              • Has Moderation Rights

              At least watch the other 9 games.

    What a pleasant surprise to wake up to a Wesley goal and max bones.

  18. maratus
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Im hopeless, what on earth to do with Sigurdsson?
    Fixtures are amazing, proven fpl player?

    I was even thinking to lose Salah if he blanks instead of Sigurdsson.

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

      I sold last week and dreamt last night he scored a hatty. Getting those FPL dreams again.
      Luckily he did nothing. How did he look?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Looks like being dropped.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If you dont have any other issue, get rid for Martial/Lanzini.

      I have Richarlison and probably keeping for another week. Have too many other issues to sort out...

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ditch imo, if he blanks again next week it's really goin to start hurting you. He even got subbed today which is bad.
      Plus he will price drop again no doubt. Who's he playing next? That's the thing probably that makes u want to keep him right

  19. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Magnus Carlsen just did Stones to Otamendi with his FT this week, I know Stones is Injured but that sounds like a strange move..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Goal incoming or decent form to keep the spot.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Haha won't be surprised

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds like a short-term move until WC.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        True, makes sense then.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi looked like scoring in the last man city game I saw, was it Vs spurs? I think so, he was definetly having a go at goal

    4. FPLVegard
      • 8 Years

      Would be fun to have a look at his team. Do you mind sharing his ID?

    1. maratus
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Leaders by this stage of season are usually total trash.
      Im to lazy to check it out, but i bet top1k have burned all chips already.

      1. Stoneleigh
        • 12 Years

        No need to bet, read the article!

      2. maratus
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Well i take some back. Only bench boost + WC used, and that´s not even that bad for first round where you can basically pick 15 guys. It´s obv. not as strong as dgw but still "okish."

    Morning dzz, early thoughts on this? 1ft and 0m

    Heaton -- Pope
    Taa Vvd Digne Zincheko -- Rico
    Sterling Kdb Martial Perez* -- Dendocker
    Kane King* -- Wickham

    *already lost 0.1m each on these and will loose more if i dont get rid

    A: Save FT as Perez (BOU) has good fixture and get rid of him in gw5
    B: Perez > Mount / Mcginn
    C: Perez + Heaton >> 4m gk + Lanzini (-4)..happy to have just 1 gk

    1. maratus
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      save

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mount

  22. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    the fact that heaton didnt get a single save point vs everton speaks volumes about how woeful they actually are

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      They have massive problems if they cannot score.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kean might be young and settling into new city/ new country but I can see him starting very soon and maybe next week. It’s a wait and see I think.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      5 shots on target in 3 games

  23. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    No Man Utd or Spurs this week. Dammit!

    I still think Utd are a trap though....

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I went without Man U attackers on WC. Could be a mistake but preferred the team I made without. Hopefully Wesley and McGinn 15pts cover Martial and Rashford this week

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe this week, but I definitely wouldn't fancy them to over the season

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not a trap, look great going forward

  24. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Too soon to take another -8 hit? :F

  25. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Feels wrong to lose Heaton on WC but got to trust the logic of Adrian short term to semi cover getting rid of VVD and getting 4.5 instead of 4m forced me to stick with Wesley for 3rd forward slot

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

      I lose Heaton and Wesley on WC, lol

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    King to Pukki?

  27. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years

    How does Moise Keane looked last night??
    Is he the answer to Everton's goal draught???

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No shots 1 key pass in 33 mins. Someone said he looked unfit

    2. Jeejloow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Dreadful in my opinion - looked like he was more on yellow cards than goals.

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Good 'in my opinion' shout. Round here that caveat is rarely used and makes people sound extremely pompous

        1. Bilbao Baggins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I think it just ensures you are stating it's not gospel, but how you saw things. Nothing wrong with that

          1. Bennerman
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            This is what I'm saying, absolutely agreed.

            Many here do come across as preachers of their own gospel

      2. The Artist
        • 13 Years

    3. Jeejloow

      • 4 Years

      Thanks. Plus I've noticed that the way I perceive things often conflicts with the opinion of established pundits (or friends that are much more knowledgeable on football in general). So approach with caution 😉

  28. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A - Kane (ars, CRY, lei, SOU, bha)
    B - Aubameyang (TOT, wat, AVL, mun, BOU)

    1. Dynamic Duos

      A

  29. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    My plan GW4 was to get in Dinge for Pereira (LEI).

    Considering the Everton disaster last night, I can save my FT for now.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No still get Digne 6ppg

  30. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Will wait to see all games but how does King and Perez to Mcginn/Mount and Barnes sound for minus 4?

    Current team

    Pope Heaton
    Walker Digne Dunk KWP Pieters
    Salah KDB Martial Perez Dendonker
    Kane King Pukki

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don't need to Barnes-4 and get Mount

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

      Wouldn't do it for a hit
