Salah punishes doubters as Liverpool concede for third successive match

Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal

Goals: Joel Matip (£5.4m), Mohamed Salah x2 (£12.5m) | Lucas Torreira (£4.9m)

Assists: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m), Fabinho (£5.5m) | Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m)

Bonus Points: Salah x3, Fabinho x2, Matip x1

The familiar story of Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) punishing his doubters came to pass once again as Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 on Saturday.

The Egyptian was the most-sold asset ahead of Gameweek 3, losing 398,638 owners in the process, but emerged with a 15-point haul.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mané (£11.5m) who was turned to as a replacement for many who Wildcarded, looked lively against Arsenal but blanked for a three-point score.

Liverpool dominated most of the fixture, registering a total of 25 shots against the Gunners, who have historically struggled to defend well at Anfield.

Salah was at the heart of that, and looked every bit the goal threat at home as he did last season, proving that the blank at Southampton was probably a blip caused by a Super Cup hangover. His remaining 39% ownership had to wait for the fruits of his efforts, both goals coming in the second half, but they were certainly deserved.

His first goal was further evidence of an advantage he has over all other Liverpool attacking assets this season.

Mohamed Salah got the better of David Luiz for both of his goals against Arsenal

Salah was fouled in the box by David Luiz (£6.0m), who pulled his shirt, and won his side the penalty. The Egyptian then stood up to take it, firing a fantastic effort high into the top corner. As had been referenced over the summer, reduced game-time for James Milner (£5.5m) this season, should mean more of these spot-kicks for Salah in 2019/20.

Salah’s second goal came from his brilliance as he skilfully turned past Luiz on the right flank and bore down on goal, placing his effort into the far corner.

The Egyptian now has six goals in five matches against Arsenal, more than against any other Premier League side.

With those Gameweek 2 doubts now allayed once again, Salah’s prospects look good in the coming Gameweeks with Burnley (away), Newcastle (home), Chelsea (away) and Sheffield United (away) his next four opponents.

Sadio Mané was replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the 77th minute against Arsenal

As mentioned previously, Mané was probably unfortunate not to get any attacking returns in this one, considering how dominant Liverpool were going forward.

While he did not shoot as often as Salah, he took on the brunt of creativity in Liverpool’s team.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) was also unfortunate not to come away with any attacking returns against Arsenal, a side he typically does well against.

He was inches away from getting on the end of an Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) cross in the opening minute which would have given Liverpool an early lead.

Roberto Firmino was also unfortunate not to get any attacking returns against Arsenal

Later on, he went close again, this time setting himself up with skill, scooping the ball over Dani Ceballos (£5.6m) and firing a volley at goal – only for it to be blocked.

There was further frustration for most Fantasy managers in possession of Liverpool defensive assets as they went a third Premier League match in a row without a clean sheet this season.

Perhaps this was an encounter in which defensive returns were unlikely though, given the way that Arsenal’s attack had started the season.

Indeed, the Gunners asked more questions than most sides had at Anfield in recent times.

While Liverpool were the side largely in control of this encounter, whenever Arsenal broke on them they looked dangerous.

“To be honest I didn’t expect the system they played. I’m not sure they played it in pre-season, I didn’t see it. It meant we had a lot of space on the wings, switching sides, the only problem was a little bit the movements in the box to make it a bit more tricky for the defending side. They won a lot of these challenges in the air, but we won a lot of second balls for that, putting them constantly under pressure without having the outcome we wanted.” – Jurgen Klopp

Nicolas Pépé (£9.4m) was the main dangerman for Arsenal, also becoming the first man to successfully dribble past Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) in 50 Premier League games.

Nicolas Pepe and Virgil van Dijk was a pulsating contest in Liverpool’s win over Arsenal

He did this six minutes into the match, holding off the Liverpool man and running beyond him towards the opposition penalty box. Were it not for Pépé tripping over the ball, he would have been able to find Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) in space.

11 minutes into the game, Pépé caused problems once more, chasing a ball played to him over the top of the defenders, forcing Adrian (£4.5m) to sally out of goal.

His clearance went straight to Aubameyang who, from outside the box attempted a lob but screwed it just wide.

In the 30th minute, Aubameyang set up Pépé on the edge of the box, who was afforded too much space by Robertson. His curled effort went just wide.

Arsenal’s best chance of the first half came after Jordan Henderson (£5.5m) gave the ball away in the breakdown of a Liverpool set piece.

That left Pépé with only Robertson to beat in order to get one-on-one with Adrian. Unfortunately for Arsenal, the former Lille man’s shot was tame, although Liverpool’s goalkeeper still struggled to keep hold of it.

In the end, Liverpool were beaten in the 85th minute, once it looked as if they had ridden the storm and banked the clean sheet, perhaps making it all the more frustrating.

Substitute Lucas Torreira (£4.9m) was the man to get the goal for Arsenal, firing in from 12 yards after nearly tripping over a square ball from Aubameyang.

“I would have loved to have (the clean sheet), to be honest, but when I see what the boys throw into a game like this, these things can happen. It’s a quality side Arsenal, they never give up, but I didn’t see that many chances. Today we were really in charge.” – Jurgen Klopp

That g ensured blanks for a selection of Liverpool defenders as the inquest into a double-up on this area of their team goes on.

With the in-form Ashley Barnes (£6.6m) the next striker to face the Reds’ back-line, concerns about the team’s clean sheet potential are sure to continue.

“We will have another week of training and then we go to a very difficult place, to Burnley. I couldn’t have more respect for what they are doing there. I will have the opportunity to watch them tomorrow but it will still be different because Burnley at home are another level, so it will be really tricky.” – Jurgen Klopp

Alexander-Arnold was one of two Liverpool defenders to get returns in Gameweek 3

However, we should point out that that least those on Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) got something out of the game.

As expected, his crossing was excellent and his involvement in set-pieces was what led to his second assist of the season. The England international now has nine of them in his last 10 matches at Anfield.

It was not surprising that he was able to chalk another one up against Arsenal, as they had conceded more chances from set-pieces than any other side in the first two Gameweeks.

That’s why van Dijk owners can probably feel somewhat unfortunate to come away with another two-pointer. He was likely the intended target of Alexander-Arnold’s 41st-minute corner but he was fouled by at least two Arsenal players as he leapt to connect with it.

Joel Matip opened the scoring for Liverpool in the first half

This was what allowed Joel Matip (£5.4m) to nod home the opening goal of the match.

“It was a very determined header as well; I don’t know how many people held on Virg in that moment, it looked like they built something around him, but Joel was there – big Joel – and made a fantastic goal. I think it was a deserved result for half-time.” – Jurgen Klopp

Meanwhile, Robertson was also unfortunate not to get something too. As already mentioned, Firmino came close to converting his early cross and it must be said that the Scottish international continues to shoot with greater regularity than he did last season.

    Best KWP replacement ?

    A. Zouma.
    B. Christiansen
    C. Soyuncu
    D. Maitland Nile

    Anyone else ?

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A, but wait until he drops to 4.9

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

      Chistensen or Maitland Nile. Boly is a leftfield shout too.

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like Boly

  2. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best def under 4.8? Who is the pick of the lot? Anyone I’m missing?

    Looking at Dunk, Guilbert and Lowton. Soyu, Ming, Pieters, Montoya...
    Ward, depending on Kelly

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

      Looking at fixtures, I like the Burnley boys - Pieters and Lowton. Mings looks like a great pick too

        Don't forget Engels

        Cheers m8

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers, will Guilbert be starting every match now

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

            Hopefully more often than not. He debuted, we won.

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

      after today and a good showing against Arsenal too, Dummett could be a decent rotating benchie

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you’re on WC then Ward Kelly is a fair combo for a guaranteed “4.25” defender. Ward is tied on and Kelly is only likely now to get a game as his replacement.

      Palace defence could hold up well mid to long term - sonething near to best of rest status quite possible in Cs. Nasty fixture turn short to midterm mind. Best a bit later.

  3. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 7 months ago

    What ye think of the this lot a week post WC. OR is meh wanted to kick on
    Find a way to do Mane to Salah sooner rather than later?

    Heaton

    VVD Digne Soyuncu

    Sterling KDB Son Mane McGinn

    Haller Pukki

    McGovern Greenwood Kelly Lundstram

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

      Not much room to move there. You could downgrade Digne to fund it, but wouldn't advise it.

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

        Yeah maybe somebody patience with Mane.
        Rest looks good or anything else to change?

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      To get Salah, the only way really is Mane and Son out and that way you do not disrupt the spine of your team.

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

        That's what I am looking at if making that move.
        It's the 8.5 replacement for Son I don't know about and having just got Son in I think I should give it a chance.

        The other option I am looking at is Son to a lower price mid and that gives a defence upgrade too?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Gotta have Salah.

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Digne to 4.5 or 5

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

      Don’t get the attraction if Son at all right now. I’d go Pepe over him for better fixtures, attacking side with a plan and looking as if he may be in form.

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

        Nice fixtures. Played ok was a bit rusty to start.
        Poch obviously told him to stay wider in the second which didn't help.
        Glimpses of what he can do.
        It's the overall Spurs performance that worries me more than Son.

  6. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Greetings. Original gangsta/dead-zoner here.

    I made a one-post cameo on the eve of the season, explaining my strategy of going with an all-budget FWD line. No FWD above 6.5m.

    Well, of the three I brought in, none were Pukki or Barnes. (I've brought Pukki in finally, early, for GW4)

    Based on that alone, care to guess my overall rank? What would you consider a "success" in overall rank after 3 weeks with this setup?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Top 250k

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

      I'm guessing your OR is at least top 150k or else there wouldn't be a post asking if it was a "success" tongue-in-cheek

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        To be fair, my tongue is permanently wedged in cheek.

        But, I've also been known to throw a curve ball. I'll wait for another guess or two to get a decent sample size and then the big "reveal".

        Oh, there I go again with the mystery quotes. 😉

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

          Not a bad guess...I will take ballpark. Clever way to look at starting the game, never really considered it.
          TBF it worked.........imagine if you picked Pukki to start your rank would be insane?!?!

          1. @FuzzyWarbles
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            It was a damn good guess. If it were a gameshow, I'd give you the points! 🙂 And yes, I would imagine if Pukki replaced any of my 3 6.5m FWDs to start the season, I'd easily be top 10k, top 5k?

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

              Just proves there is no set strategy for playing, I went mostly stock from site with few differentials and that helped me...........I'm a newbie at the whole "strategy", as you can see 1st year FFS, but this is going straight into the list for possibilities next year!
              Most people trying to replicate your team RN
              Thanks for the points too 😉

    3. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      Top 1k

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

        This is kindv the minimum I’d be willing to admit to tbh. Anything below I’d probably keep it quiet but depends on standards I guess

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          So, if the strategy went well, it's only worth celebrating, touting if I'm top 1000..out of 6.4 million managers?

          Good gravy, those are some awfully high standards...

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

            You asked tbf bro. I’m only saying what I’d be content with - if your standards are lower that’s fair enough

            1. @FuzzyWarbles
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              top 1k would be "content"...not absolutely ecstatic.

              is top 10 worthy of a feeling slightly elevated from "content"?

              :p

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

                Just different standards bro. You seem happy with wherever you’re at - and I’m happy for you as a result

                1. @FuzzyWarbles
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  I am generally interested though. If 1,000th in the world is content for you, what rank would make you feel really happy?

                  Content is not very happy, is it?

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

      wasn't that the template on here gw 1 with King and Jota or something like that ?, having that forward line gives you a great midfield and defense so inside the top 50K maybe ?

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I guess I should say, "three starting FWDs" - I didnt go Greenwood or another 4.5m enabler sitting on the bench.

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Your link has Kane and is 5.2m ?

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My link? Oh, does that take you to my PL history...well, it's probably about six seasons ago by now 😉

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Do tell then

    6. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Right then, I suppose setting up my question the way I did annoyed more people than intrigued. I guess the dead zone isn't like the old days, but what ever is like the old days?

      Anyway, I'm on 117k. 🙂

      I would imagine 950 or so of the top 1k had Pukki returns, so forgive me if I am happy with this current status.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bravo

        You never did say what the fwd line of 6.5s was

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          🙂 Absolute garbage...one attacking return.

          King, Jota, Deulofeu.

          1. Kun Tozser
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yes that is bad form

            Pukki Barnes Wesley probably not the budget line at the moment you’d say?

            1. @FuzzyWarbles
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Joelinton worth a look too I would say. Chances may not come often but his composure and finish to beat my Spurs yesterday was on point.

            2. @FuzzyWarbles
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Could downgrade one to Ayew and have a line of Pukki, Haller, Ayew going forward. Ayew could rotate/bench with Cantwell or Lundstram.

              Midfield of Salah, KdB, Sterling, Martial absolutely crushing it. The whole idea was to get a MF I thought would give consistent returns, go cheap at FWD and use bulk of my FTs swapping cheap FWDs and riding the hot hand.

                4 years, 7 months ago

                The point is saving money up front allows money for where it needs to be spent on mids and defenders. So despite poor forward selections you are still doing very well.
                Can't disagree with this.

                1. @FuzzyWarbles
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Just the sheer quantity of options makes me look at the premium forwards in a different light these days. I never started a season without at least one premium forward. But, so far, it looks like it can work.

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

            Would that not prove the strategy is ok as the other must have done good and you had the cash to spend on the rest?
            Jumping on the correct one like Pukki is easy as things evolve

  7. SUPER MOKH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Moura owners, are you ditching him? I know he blanked yesterday but he was looking so good, playing very advanced and probably the most dangerous player on the pitch. But then there are likes of Mount and McGinn..

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

      Played well would need to improve his finishing is all.
      I think he should hold his place what Poch sees in Lamela I can't figure. But probably limited in choices with the Erik situation and Deli out.

    Fellow USA residents, worth getting MUTV? I was set on the idea but heard about the mix up where all the presenters thought Fellaini was still our player and now I’m dubious as to the quality.

      lol

      It's worth it, just for the last 5 mins of the last game.:D

    I'm sure Harry Wilson is going to end up in our teams

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cracking shot on him.

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

      I’ll level with you bro - I’m not getting a scousser (what I think we call Liverpool players) even if he is on loan to another club. Utd through and through

      When I saw that pre season strike I thought it was technically perfect - a thing of beauty and 2 now in 3 hasnt changed my mind.
      He surely has to start now and would have to have frees you think. I can't manage to get him in now but could be great.

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

        Plus how many years do BOU give us the value player King Wilson Fraser ....

  10. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bugger, missed the KDB price rise.

    Any reason not to do Sigurdsson Jota to KDB Wesley (-4)?

    Should I wait til later in the week (unless players involved are going to change price before then)?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB bound to hit that 10m soon.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah ik.

        Would you do this moves?

        That or I do Siggy to either Son or Pepe for free

  11. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you take a -4 to do King -> Barnes. Won't be able to afford it by next GW

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tricky tbh. Don’t really like Barnes v Liverpool.

      Maybe not if I’m being honest

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would probably go for it. Barnes looks a much better long term prospect than King. The Liverpool fixture this week is not ideal but it is at home and Liverpool defence hasn't been particularly good.

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

      Yep worth it in the long run

  12. Benny01_
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane and Haller/Barnes vs Salah and Jota/Wesley?

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

      I've gone for A with Haller.
      Now stuck trying to figure how to have Salah and Haller.

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah Wesley

  13. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So I have King, Jota, Dendonker (dropped) and Perez stinking up my team. 1FT and 0.4 ITB. Anyone similar? Plans?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King and Jota have the fixtures keep them.
      Perez has been awful drop him for mount.

  14. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    RMT? G2g Or hits needed?

    Heaton (pope)
    Diop TAA lundstram/Adam smith(tarkowski)
    Salah KDB Mount martial (doncker)
    Kane pukki Jimenez
    1)this team g2g?
    2)which defenders to play?
    Already used my FT

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

      I'd leave it.
      Martial flagged so hold before making any moves in case you need to move him on.

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone?

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

        Pick one of those last 3 and hope for the best but don't fancy a CS from any of them.

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

    McGinn > Cantwell to free up some coin?

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

      depends what the coin is for

      1. KING KOUNDER
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kane to Kun?

  16. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I think I fked up and should not press the WC button for this team...

    Pope Button
    VVD Digne Dunk Guilbert Rico
    Mane Sterling KDB Ceballos Mcginn
    Auba Jota Greenwood

    Anyways, what;s your thoughts on my WC team now :

    Pope Button
    VVD Laporte Lowton Lundstram Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Haller Barnes Pukki

    Cheers!

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Downgrade Laporte and get 2 4.5 rotating Because Pope has Liverpool next
      Rest looking good.

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

      Nice. Look at some more options for third rotation defender spot and see it there are other possibilities.
      I like Soyuncu with Laudstram

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

      2. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Think I am gonna go with Soyuncu indeed

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

    what happened to our 5 premium defenders plan??!!! Lol...
    its just 3 games and people loosing their confidence in defence?

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

      Did anyone actually do that in the 1st place?

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

        not 5 but many went with 4 or 3.

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

      Yup that plan is done for me, moving to 3 at the back on WC from 4

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

    Thoughts on Lanzini? I don't really like Mount's next three fixtures.

  19. IRBOX ⚽

    What’s the point of VAR if clear pens aren’t being given? Referencing Harry Kane.

    Refs are clearly scared of calling penalties at the risk of being overturned by the review system. Real shame for Kane owners and Kane captainers as on paper he was the clear standout this GW. That’s FPL I guess

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably saved them 4 points.

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

        Best penalty taker in the league

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Noble

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Milivojevic

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

      On paper the standout captain choice between Salah/Sterling for the first 3 GWs has been the opposite... that's exactly fpl for you

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Standing on a defenders foot and falling over is a pen these days?

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      There wasn't much in it...probably not enough to overturn the ref's decision. So can't really complain and I'm a Kane owner

  20. Obi Wan Ken Obi Nil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Trossard? Great player. Created insane number of chances last game but no one could convert!

    Worth transferring out for Martial or Mount?

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

      I'd keep for now, not the best fixture but he'll come good long term.

  21. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Play one of the 2:-
    1)Adam smith (LEI)(A)
    2)Lund (CHE)(A)
    not optimistic about either but better one?

    1. Party time
        4 years, 7 months ago

        2

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

      Keep or save WC?
      Heaton
      VVD / Digne / AWB / Montoya
      Salah / Sterling / KDB / Martial
      Pukki / King

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Keep

      2. Party time
          4 years, 7 months ago

          keep or save

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years

            you know what I meant lol

            • 7 Years

            Keep

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I will be forced to play Dendoncker because of Lundstram/Montoya poor fixtures. Any word on why he was dropped? Likely to get another 1 pointer?

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

            Most likely rotated.

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

            Rested, he played 90 mins on Thursday on Europe

          3. Party time
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Europa lg midweek, should probably start weekend as wolves were poor in winning 2nd balls

            Pope(Button)
            VVD TAA AWB Digne (Rico)
            KDB Salah Sterling Ceballos(Dendoncker)

                Cheers guys, makes sense to save and probably do Jota to Barnes after IB 🙂

              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Just got in Cantwell for Dendonker on FT. Stats for Cantwell look great

              Team for GW 4:
              Pope
              VVD, TAA, Coleman, Digne
              Cantwell, Sterling, Martial, Salah
              Wilson, Pukki
              subs : Button, King, Laundstarm, Hayden
              Looks good to go. Thoughts?

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

              Best striker at or under 7.0? (excluding Pukki)

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

                Barnes long term

              2. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I like Tammy/Barnes

            5. COYS Down Under
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Have Kane and no Sterling, is it sensible to restructure to swap them around? Will be waiting for Martial news at least.

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

                Yes imo

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

                Sterling is must with those fixtures.

              3. Kub3
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Yes

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

              SV of 100.4 only. Wew

              Is Kane going to do anything in the NLD? Arsenal’s defence looked shocking on Saturday but these derbies can always go always go either way.

              He was abysmal against Newcastle , completely anonymous against City and very lucky IMO against Villa.

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Depends if Spurs play with speed.

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

              Quick A or B:
              A: Kun, Mount, Cantwell

              B: KDB, Mount, Tammy

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Depends on wether cantwell will be in the starting XI. If so then B

                Btw... you could have left Mount out as he is in both options
