It has not been a memorable start to the season for Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Fraser (£7.3m).

After registering a total of seven goals and 14 assists in 2018/19, the Scottish international has now gone three matches of the new campaign without a single attacking return.

Not surprisingly, Fraser has already dropped £0.2m in price as Fantasy managers look elsewhere for value in midfield.

However, is there a possibility that they may come crawling back when Bournemouth’s fixtures become a little more favourable.

Gameweek 3 pitted the Cherries against defending champions Manchester City, while this weekend takes them to face Leicester City.

After those two tough matches, Gameweek 5 sees Eddie Howe’s men host Everton before they clash with Southampton (away) and West Ham (home).

We have assessed Fraser’s numbers from the first three matches of 2019/20 to see whether his owners should be patient or not.

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

How has Fraser started the season?

Lessons learned from Gameweek 3

    Any thoughts on Anderson as a potential Martial replacement? I've already got Haller, but the possibility of a West Ham attacking double-up for their really promising run of fixtures is intriguing me... Is he as nailed as Lanzini?

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet

      Why do you prefer Anderson to Lanzini?

      1. MosF94
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        More points/returns last season than Lanzini's ever produced. Higher xG and xA this season despite missing GW2. The issues are: a) last season, he was really good in the first half of the season, but dodgy in the second, and b) I really like Anderson playing on the left, but am less keen if he starts on the right - hopefully he starts on the left against Norwich, with Yarmolenko/Snodgrass/Fornals on the right, but it's not a guarantee!

        1. Willmissudimitrypayet
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I agree. He is a brast on the left compared to the right flank. He used fornals centrally pre season but he seems to be out??

          Why did he miss the game?

          1. MosF94
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure why he was left out, but Fornals played 90 last night vs Newport, so he's fit.

            Going Martial > Anderson (or Lanzini, or Maddison) would allow me to go Kane > Aguero (c), which really excites me - it'd cost me -4, but Aguero, Sterling and KDB all in my squad for Brighton (H), Norwich (a), Watford (H) is a mouth-watering prospect!

    2. ChuckN
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lanzini is great value at 6.5. He is my preference from the Hammers.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I would double up on WH attack.

    4. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good. But its a big punt, think of Bournemouth in first 2 gws

  2. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed.. 2,4 ITB, what to do? 2 FT. 33K overall.

    Ryan
    TAA, Digne, Rico
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Cantwell
    Wilson, Haller, Jimenez

    Lundstram, Dendoncker, Walker-Pieters, Button

    1. JT11fc
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      KWP + Perez - Mount + Lowton
      Next week Wilson - Auba

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Nice one. Mount has looked Great, but I do not like their next 3 fixtures..

        1. JT11fc
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mount more of a long term pick i guess

    2. ChuckN
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch KWP to Soy/Montoya and upgrade Dendoncker or 1 of your strikers?

      Or upgrade KWP or Rico to a premium def.

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing really.

      Maybe one of:

      Jim to Pukki - he’ll explode (even more) over the international break if he scores again.
      Perez out - he could implode. Maybe Bilva?

      Keep two FTs for the IB. Could roll the dice and go Jim to Pukki and Perez to KDB maybe?

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, +1

        I am 0,5 short for that last move though.. Would have to be Wilson out, Jimmy has way better stats anyways. Still, kind of want to wait and see on Wilson a few more games.

      2. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Pukki vs City next, really want to wait and see how he perfoms after that..

        Perez to someone is an option, but I want someone like Pepe, not the Bilvas, Siggys.. Walker Pieters will probably Come good after the IB?

    4. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      KWP + Perez - > McGinn + Kelly
      Next, Jimenez -> Aubameyang

  3. ChuckN
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So Robbo has 400,000 Net transfers out and hasn't dropped. 25% of his GW1 ownership.

    Yeah FPL pricing isn't rigged.

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Its because they know LFC will eventually tighten up and eveeeeeryone will jump on Robbo at 6.9

      1. ChuckN
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So it's rigged, yes? That's not a transparent system.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          If it were rigged then the price change sites would have had him over the threshold

          He has been edging up but not yet over the edge

          Their algorithms are calculated for all players

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS

            He's been over more than once on fplstats.

      Perhaps most sold on WC. FTs used on jumping on the bandwagons.
      Still weird nonetheless.

      1. ChuckN
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It's beyond weird and inconsistent with previous years.

        The old "must be wildcards" excuse is losing credibility.

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That is actually ridiculous! Price changes need much more transparency

      1. ChuckN
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This.

      2. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I agree it’s annoying but then again we don’t pay to play so they don’t really have to listen to what we say.

        1. Erdogan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I have seen multiple times people say we don't pay to play. It is actually not quite true. In theory we are the customers. 6.5 million customers using FPL site. I am sure there is a solid % of the 6.5 million who started to follow the EPL only because they started to play FPL. I personally might as well watch games which I would not care about if I was not playing FPL - I am sure there will be again solid % of 6.5 million who does the same.
          What I want to say is that even though we do not pay directly to play the game - that 6.5 million FPL manager crowd is consuming EPL product as such and bringing the EPL stat numbers up - that means creating more revenue for EPL. That means we do deserve to receive a solid, top class product in return.

    5. Coolbean
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well, the price change predictor sites got them right, so it’s just not a simple NTO formula e.g. noticed mass sales in a single day has a far larger impact on the % than gradual sales.

      But yeah, could be a good idea to post the official price change %.

    6. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years

      Does seem odd, but as an owner I'm not complaining.

    On a WC, which trio would you prefer

    A) Barnes, KDB, Mings
    B) Kun, Dendoncker, Kelly

    Team is as follows:

    Pope (Heaton)

    Haller, Pukki, XXX

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka

    1ft and 0m itb. ideas?

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

    Just some thoughts
    - Martial may not play in which case Rico/Docker will step up assuming one of them plays
    - No salah or pukki is a concern.
    - worth taking a hit to get pukki esp with city coming up..how much could his price be after city game?
    - Perez has a good fixture but dropping in value...same applies to King

  9. Sting in the Tail

    Will be answering all your FPL questions on this thread for the next 30mins, with solid thought and analysis.. hit me

    1. Fpl Richie

      Below please

    2. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Best 4.6 and below defender (not lundstram)?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Beat defences in that price bracket based on xGc are Burnley, Brighton, Sheffield and Wolves.. your best options are Pieters, Lowton, Soy or Dunk. If you have Pope in goals, the choice is easier

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who would you expect to start in the potential absence of Martial this GW? Mata, Lingard, Pereira or Greenwood

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Based on Ole’s team selection to begin the season and current form, you would have to say Rashford up top, with James and Lingard out wide. Wouldn’t be overly surprised to see Mata start, but I think Greenwood remains a bench option only

    4. JT11fc
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Auba worth a go if he does well vs spurs?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely. Of all the premium forwards (exception of Kun in Jesus’ absence) he is the best option. Arsenal also face Watford and Villa in their next 3 fixtures both of which are in the bottom 5 of expected goals against (xGc). He could do very well in those matches

    5. Citytilidie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Worth a -4 to replace Mane with Salah this week?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not for a -4 mate. It could very well be Mane’s turn to do well this week. I would do it for free though when you have the opportunity. The pens and corners well and truly make up for the extra 1.0

      2. OFord
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely not, Mane and Salah will take in turns scoring big points

    6. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      In the long run would Jota and Martial to Haller and Mount pay off for a -8 right now?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That’s a tough one; I would have to see the rest of your squad. Also what are your plans for WC? Have you used it, plan to use during international break? A -8 now if you plan to WC shortly would not be wise.

          Could even wildcard now as a few am not happy with

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            If Martial is ruled out, I would seriously think hard about WC!

    7. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Should all Scoutcast presenters have their own catchphrase?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would be a nice addition wouldn’t it! I’ll say yes.. throw me your suggestions

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Well Jonty has 'Hello' and Andy 'I've still got my wildcard in my back pocket'. So they are sorted.
          David could be 'I don't know what you guys think'
          Just need Az and Luke

    8. Daghe Munegu
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would you do Rashford + Adams to Pukki + Haller -4 ?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not this week bro. If Martial is out, Rashford could play striker against Saints. You need to find a different way to get Pukki in for Adams ASAP!

    9. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with Kane or transfer out? He loves playing Arsenal and has good fixtures after, but I’m considering going Kane, Martial -> Kun (c), Mount (-4)

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If Martial is injured and ruled out I would jump all over that! I would do the same but I have 3 City already so can’t get on Aguero. Great moves imo. I know Kane has great stats in the North London Derby, but Spurs clearly have managerial issues and imminent transfers affecting their squad (Eriksen and Vertonghen). Moura, Son, Winks and Sissoko provide no creativity to Kane

      Button, Pope
      Digne, VvD, Laporte, Montoya, Balbuena
      Salah, Sterling, Martial, Cantwell, Dendoncker
      King, Pukki, Vardy

      Currently on a -4. If Martial is out is it time to wildcard? Really want Mount, Barnes, McGinn, Kun/KdB,.. or do I keep my nerves and wait one more week until the IB. Feel like my rank needs a big big boost.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        IF Martial is out I would hit the WC button mate. You could focus on getting double or even triple City attack, as well as improving your squad with the players you mentioned. A -8 for me is enough to pull the trigger.

        1. Tshelby
          • 11 Years

          Cheers thanks Irbox! Shouldn't I just hit it now than to catch some price rises?

          Thanks for your opinion 🙂

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years

            Do it!

    11. DAVESAVES

      Best replecment for Martial? Budget: 8m

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Maddison

    12. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would you keep or sell Moura?
      And who to, if you say sell?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sell.. At that price point; Martial (fitness an issue), Mount, Maddison all much better options! Lanzini could also be a sneaky differential given the fixtures and his proliferation of set-pieces!

    13. Monkey Pits
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on Firmino? Passes the eye test with dangerous chances and pool has easy fixtures. Worth keeping him for his imminent haul?

      Current strikers of Kane, Firmino and Pukki with midfield of Sterling KDB. No Mane or Salah so would want to downgrade Kane or Firmino eventually.

      1. Monkey Pits
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking of downgrade to Haller or Barnes for either Kane or Firmino

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately, Firmino is overpriced this season. He is a brilliant player but his role in Klopp’s system is to drop in and provide width to Salah and Mane. He will tick nicely but he won’t haul as you suggested so there are much better options at that price point. Does Kane > Haller/Barnes get you one of the Liverpool mids?

        1. Monkey Pits
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          can do Martial > Mane with Kane transfer out. Worth doing it this week?

    14. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What should I do with Stones? Will he play next week? If not should I ship (to whom?) Or should I happily let Lundstram collect his winnings v a porous Chelsea?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I would lose Stones if you have a FT, he won’t play until after the IB. Would look at Emerson, or AWB if you don’t already have?

    15. Goat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Start one?

      A) Trossard
      B) Greenwood

      B may start if Martial is out. Trossard probably getting max 2 points

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Greenwood won’t start imo; front 3 of Rashford, James and Lingard.. BUT he may get more minutes if Martial is out. Play him over Tross.. City’s defensive starts are just far too good

        1. Goat
          • 9 Years

    16. Lazaretti

      Siggy, Kane out for -8 -> Salah, Barnes? Exact money. Keeping WC still in pocket.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *sorry Martial not Siggy, own Siggy also

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who is the other transfer to make up the -8? Not sure if it’s worth a -8, but I did the EXACT moves for a -4!! So I like it..

        1. Lazaretti
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I already made King to Pukki which was not maybe the best move when I look it now. As a Finn I needed to do that transfer bcs all my ML rivals have him and he just keep scoring. I could have done Kane to Pukki and keep King and now do Siggy or Martial to Salah just -4.

            Pukki is a must so that’s fine mate. I would leave it this week; Siggy could finally do something at Goodison against a weary Europa League affected Wolves and Kane could always score. Those moves aren’t worth an 8 hit this week, wait until next

      Saving wc for later.

        7 years, 1 month ago

        I see the temptation, however, Robbo has been unlucky not to have attacking returns thus far. Zinchenko will soon be displaced by Mendy or Cancelo (granted he is a RB, but can also play on the left), so wouldn’t want to bring him in for a hit mate

        1. DAVESAVES
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah that’s the problem. If Zink was nailed it would be much easier. The thing is that I need the cash from Robbo to upgrade Dendonker. May just transfer him out for Cantwell. Mount looks good tho

      I currently own Tammy who I bought at@7 on WC. I want haller. If both Tammy and haller rise on Saturday morning Tammy becomes 7.2 and Haller becomes 7.5. Logically, does it make any difference if
      A) I buy haller now at 7.4 or
      B) wait for Tammy to rise hence banking 0.1 and then swapping to haller at 7.5.
      Surely B) means I make a profit of 0.1 since I won't own haller all season? Lol

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        The only way this benefits you is if Abraham rises BEFORE Haller. Can’t see that happening given their current numbers on FPLstats. Wait as long as possible, but make the switch regardless at deadline

          Best 5.5 million defender - i have
          (Awb zinc Emerson *matip)
          Also Haller or Abraham and why!?
          Thank you very much!

        2. Valar(Keith)
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          That's what I thought too.. But in case b) my selling value of haller increase so overall my team makes a 0.1 profit. Unless I keep haller all season which won't happen :).. Weird but true.

          1. Coolbean
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            What he said isn’t true. As long as both rise this week, you get that extra SV (i.e. +0.1 TV and +0.1 SV). If Abraham rises before Haller, you hit the jackpot and get +0.2 TV and +0.1 SV. 🙂

    19. Uns95
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think worth transferring out Haller for Abraham and using additional money to upgrade Emmerson to City defence, like Laporte?

      Pope
      VVD Soyuncu Digne Emerson
      Sterling KDB Salah Mount
      Pukki Haller

      Button Wesley Lundstram Cantwell

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Doing King to Haller and trying to work out what the play is is thereafter. Injury dependent of course...
    A. Martial to Mount
    B. Dendoncker to Cantwell
    C. Play Greenwood/Lund/Den.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have 2FT? If Martial is out, I would definitely get on Mount. Lampard loves him and he has so much goal threat, as well as assist potential. Wouldn’t do Donkey > Cantwell; the latter has an xG of 1.32 with only 2 shots! Insane and unsustainable.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - I've got one FT but I'm open to a hit if it has long term sense

  12. HaffNanner

    Mount or McGinn?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years

      Mount if availability is OK this weekend otherwise McGinn.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would go McGinn. McGinn is nailed and you will have money left to strengthen another position if need be.

    3. OFord
      • 7 Years

      Mount

    Who would you rather have for the next 4 weeks:

    A) Mount
    B) Lanzini

    Thanks

    1. boc610

      Mason

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unless he’s injured long term.

        1. boc610
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A kick to the calf, id expect him to be passed fit

        2. farmerfat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Will definitely wait for pressers before making my decision .

          Feel like Lanzini is a bit of a differential so leaning towards him.
          Mount looks great as well and not such high ownership

          1. boc610
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Hammers are so hot and cold, eirher awful or very good, they just never get a real run together. Chelsea are much more capable of that

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham are playing much worse defences across the next 4. Sheff Utd / Wolves / Brighton don't concede as many chances as Norwich / Villa / Bournemouth.

      Considering doing a -4 to get Mount & Haller in for Moura & Jota myself, just to jump on Mount and a WHU attacker since I think Mason does look great value in his own right.

      But, I think as a direct contrast between the two, I'd lean towards Lanzini.

  14. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My thoughts this week are whether to keep Jota and get rid of KWP and Trossard.

    Or keep Trossard and get rid Jota and Donkey.

    Or get rid of Trossard and KWP.

    I think it may be worth keeping KWP one more week and replacing Trossard (tough fixtures coming) and Jota.

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in a similar position.

      Current thinking is to keep Jota for 1 week and get Barnes next week.

      Completely undecided on Trossard with Mount lurking.

  15. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pope - Woodman
    Laporte - Zinchenko - AWB - Lundstram - Hanley
    Sterling - Mane - Martial - Lanzini - Mount
    Kane - Pukki - Wickham

    1 FT and 0.1m in the bank.

    Martial ➡ Cantwell sound good for free? Allows me to do Wickham ➡ Barnes next gw. Or, does something else stand out?

    Opinions appreciated. 🙂

    1. Monkey Pits
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could work both ways with the martial transfer as he has the potential to do well long term. Otherwise, Cantwell definitely a high value pick for the next few GWs bar man city game.

    1. tm370

      Mount

    2. Monkey Pits
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      McGinn (better fixtures), Mount (better team), Cantwell (spread funds else where)

    3. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lanzini

  17. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    WC team

    Pope, Button
    Digne, Soyuncu, Maitland Niles, Kelly, __
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell, Ceballos,
    Aguero, Pukki, Haller

    I’m just debating my last defender (currently Lundstram but up to 4.8 is possible). I’m thinking of a Burnley double up, Montoya, or Mings (for immediate fixtures)

  18. Rinseboy

    Surely B) means I make a profit of 0.1 since I won't own haller all season? Like I said stupid question 🙂

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Surely there’s no difference? In both cases you will be spending an extra 0.3 to make the trade.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, an extra 0.4.

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yup. But my overall team value increases by 0.1 with Tammy. With haller I still have my old team value since there's no profit. If I keep haller all season it makes no difference. But since I won't be doing that it does. Its all very confusing and hence why I asked lol 🙂

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Interesting question when you think about it more!. I still think there is no difference since even though you are banking 0.1, you are also spending that profit by having to pay a higher price for Haller than if you were to do it now.

    2. Coolbean
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B’s the answer as your selling value on Haller is 7.5 (vs 7.4 in A)

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Ya that's what I thought :)..cheers

    3. mookie
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not a stupid question at all. Tammy gets you 0,1m SV, while Haller doesn't. However you should only do it if you're sure Tammy will rise. Kind of risky during WC season.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yup. Going to Re check Friday night. Hoping Tammy rises and haller doesn't and considering the number of transfers in for Tammy that may well happen 🙂

  20. The Big Fella
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you downgrade Robertson to VVD for the extra 0.5m given that Robbo is, eventually, going to drop?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you are planning to keep Robbo long term he will eventually rise again when he starts returning and Liverpool start getting CSs, so keep.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If I downgrade to VVD though, I can upgrade Dendonker to McGinn. Over the course of the season, I do think Robbo will outscore VVD but obviously McGinn will also outscore Dendonker.

  21. HaydenXL
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So thinking of doing ceballos + AWB for Mount and 5m def, just not sure which 5m Def to get. Also that would be for a -4hit. Worth it?

  22. Numbuster
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    to keep Kane or not to keep?

    if he still fail in NLD game.. should i to forget Kane from gw5 onwards?

    1. Monkey Pits
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      In the same boat as you. Would probably keep for one more week for the NLD and downgrade to Barnes after Liverpool game. Spread funds else where during IB

      1. Numbuster
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        wokey... seems the conclusion should be to set go or forget after gw4..

      Not for a hit. Use your bench to cover this week and hope he's at least back post intl break for LEI / whu / ARS.

    5. OFord

      For -4 and avoid possible price drops on Jota and Perez I would do it.

      Pukki may just be on fire again this weekend whereas you could see Perez and Jota blanking 4 weeks straight.

      Form over blanks all day long for -4.
