Kane outscores Son again as Spurs get back to winning ways

Tottenham Hotspur 2 Southampton 1

Goals: Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) Harry Kane (£11.0m)| Danny Ings (£5.9m)

Assists: Son Heung-min (£9.7m) Christian Eriksen (£8.8m)

Bonus Points: Ings x3, Kane x2, Eriksen x1

Ten-man Tottenham ended a bad week in a good place with a hard-fought win over Southampton.

An understandable defeat at Leicester had been followed by an unthinkable one at Colchester as earlyseason issues continued to grip Mauricio Pochettino’s troubled squad.

Forty minutes into Saturday’s match and things were threatening to unravel even more.

Having taken the lead when the impressive Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) fired home from Son Heung-min‘s (£9.7m) assist, moments of madness from Serge Aurier (£5.0m) and Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) emphatically changed the game’s dynamic.

Aurier’s sending off was disastrous for those who had signed him ahead of Gameweek 7

The right-back, at £5.0m, had been seen as a well-priced way into Spurs’ defence by Fantasy managers, with a 14-point haul in Gameweek 5 prompting strong investment and an ownership rise to 3.2%.

Two yellow cards later and Tottenham were bracing themselves to play for nearly an hour with a man down as Aurier treated his owners to a -2-point haul. He will also miss Gameweek 8’s trip to Brighton through suspension.

Lloris then indulged his own urge to self-destruct by attempting a Cruyff turn on his goal-line. Never the best keeper with the ball at his feet, all he did was allow Danny Ings (£5.9m) to dispossess him and poke the ball home for the equaliser.

In the context of Spurs’ season to date, a full-blown capitulation looked highly likely thereafter.

Hugo Lloris dropped another clanger in Spurs’ win over Southampton

Time, then, for their big guns to step up, and they duly did just before half-time.

A swift break involving Son, Christian Eriksen (£8.8m) and Harry Kane (£11.0m) ended with the England captain sweeping in his Danish team-mate’s pass to restore the home side’s lead.

That they held onto that lead after the break was down, in part, to some redemptive brilliance from Lloris, who produced excellent saves to deny a Maya Yoshida (£4.4m) header and a James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m) free-kick.

But from a Fantasy perspective, it was all about Tottenham’s power trio of Kane, Eriksen and Son.

Son managed to get attacking returns for the third match in a row

Only the latter had not suffered a dip in his ownership levels over the last couple of weeks, and he delivered yet again for his 9.9% fan base.

His assist was a fourth straight attacking return of a season that only started in Gameweek 3 and his 6.6 points per match (PPM) average is a club-leading figure. Indeed, across all the players in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), only eight can better that total.

Kane, meanwhile, is not so far behind him on 6.3 PPM, with his winner against the Saints his fifth return in seven starts.

The much-maligned Eriksen’s return to form was another major takeaway from the win.

After a mixed start to the season, Eriksen had a good game against Southampton

The midfielder had turned in some deeply underwhelming performances amid consistent reports of a desire to move on to pastures new before his contract expires at the end of this season.

But he was back closer to his best on Saturday.

He created three chances, a match-high figure shared with Son and Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand (£4.9m), and he was the only player to produce a big chance, which he managed twice.

It seems inevitable that Eriksen will not be a Spurs player next season – and possibly by the end of January – but there were finally some signs that he will at least depart with a few Fantasy points to his name.

Ndombele opened the scoring for Spurs, his second league goal of the season

Elsewhere in Tottenham’s midfield, Ndombele continued to bring joy to his 3.9% ownership, with two goals and an assist from just four starts.

But the 5.3% who had been banking on Erik Lamela (£6.1m) to deliver once more were treated to a one-point cameo from the bench.

Ndombele’s £6.0 price tag and eye for goal might tempt those on a budget, but it is Son who remains the stand-out asset in midfield.

He led the way with 11 penalty area touches against the Saints – Kane managed six – and was a big threat both before and after Aurier’s indiscretion.

A solid schedule through to December, albeit including back-to-back matches on Merseyside, further enhances the appeal of the South Korean.

Not that Fantasy managers seem overly tempted. Son is currently the most purchased Spurs player for Gameweek 8, but none of Pochettino’s men make it into the top ten for transfers-in.

That could change if Spurs can find some level of consistency, as the coach was keen to point out post-match.

“How we fought in the second half against a very good team like Southampton, to keep the clean sheet in forty-five minutes I think showed that we have an amazing spirit, we are all together. That is the point to start to work and keep going and be consistent in the future.” Mauricio Pochettino

Redmond was Southampton’s chief outlet on Saturday afternoon

As for Southampton, they will have left London wondering how they didn’t secure at least a point from the match.

They out-shot their hosts 14 to nine, with six attempts on target to Tottenham’s four, and were competitive either side of Aurier’s dismissal.

Coach Ralph Hasenhuttl’s plans for the encounter were severely compromised by an injury to Cédric Soares (£4.9m) in the warm-up.

“It wasn’t the perfect start to the game. You prepare for the game and then half an hour before he (Cedric) says he can’t train. I don’t know what happened. It wasn’t the best preparation for the game. I haven’t spoken to him now, but I will.” Ralph Hasenhuttl

That prompted a switch to a three at the back, with Jannik Vestergaard (£5.2m) brought in and Ward-Prowse switched to right wing-back.

The midfielder returned to his more natural position at half-time as the Saints went for a four-man defence involving Jan Bednarek (£4.5m) moving to right-back, only for Ward-Prowse to then fill in for the Pole when Vestergaard was replaced by Stuart Armstrong (£5.3m) as the visitors chased an equaliser late on.

Hasenhüttl had to change his formation before kick-off at Spurs

Nathan Redmond (£6.3m) was the pick of Southampton’s attackers, firing in a match-high four attempts, while Ings scored his second goal of the season.

But despite enjoying close to 60% possession, a combination of Lloris’ heroics and their own lack of ruthlessness meant the Saints’ run of four consecutive away wins in all competitions ended at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“It’s an opportunity missed – a big chance. We came back into the game but didn’t do enough to make Tottenham struggle.” Ralph Hasenhuttl

Their fixtures, in the short term at least, don’t suggest Southampton will be making other sides struggle either.

They’ll face Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal before the end of November, and although the five-match run that follows looks promising, their all-round averageness – just the seven goals scored and two clean sheets kept – won’t encourage many to hover over the transfer button when checking on their assets.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-1-2): Lloris; Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Aurier; Ndombele (Dier 78′), Winks (Wanyama 90+3′), Sissoko; Eriksen; Son (Lamela 64′), Kane.

Southampton XI (3-4-1-2): Gunn; Vestergaard (Armstrong 79′), Yoshida, Bednarek; Bertrand, Højbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse; Boufal (S Long 88′); Ings (Obafemi 83′), Redmond.

    Would u captain Auba over Sterling? And is the bench order correct?

    Adrian
    Lund Pieters OTA
    Mane Sterling KDB Mount
    Tammy Pukki Auba (C)

    Cantwell Kelly Soy

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

      I would yes, think i’ll be capping Auba as well this weekend. Bench order seems ok to me bud

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate 🙂

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, yes.

  2. Tomas_brolin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start this weekend - Barnes or Cantwell? I have Pukki so thinking one last week for Barnes

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes - Cantwell first sub who would come in anyways for kdb

  3. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Deulofeo or Wood?

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

      Wood until Watford scores at least once. Watford is a mess right now and even though Deulofeu is their best FPL player and discounted, I'd avoid even him for now.

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

    Yarmolenko or Wood?

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

      Yarmolenko. Wood, Barnes, J Rod might have some kind of rotation going on between themselves. Yarmolenko looks more long term nailed in the XI.

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone got Dazn in Canada.
    Trying to watch full reruns of games but only highlights available.
    Are the full games only available for a limited after the games or will they be available later in the week?

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

      Full Utd V Arsenal available so full game options must only be for hours or day or so after games.

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

        Seems a bit random but most of the games from the past weekend seem to be available still. In the browser version there is a button under the video window where you can switch between highlights and full game.

  6. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    After Gameweek 3 ranked 50,000, wildcarded and now 300,000. Gameweek rank for round 7 was 5.4 million using no hits.
    Team is:
    Pope (Button); TAA, Otamendi, Tomori (Rico and Lundstram);
    Salah, KDB, Song, Cantwell, (Luiz);
    Aguero (c), Barnes, Pukki
    1FT, Sv 102.1, 0.6 itb
    Clearly could make minor changes, but is there anything fundamentally wrong with team, as plummeting.

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

      Cant really see any big issue.

      Poor performance of your forwards was probably the reason for downfall

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. I think last chance this week.

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

      3 blankers in attack are hurting.
      Getting close to last chance for them with a good fixture this GW.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. I think that's right. Could switch Salah to Mane to generate funds if needed. Norwich pair could be on the slide if no points this week, and guess may need to pre-empt that soon too.

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

    Best option here with 1.2m and 1ft?

    Heaton — Pope
    Taa, Digne, Zincheko — Tomori Rico
    KDB, Sterling, James, Cantwell — Docker
    Kane, Tammy, Pukki

    A: Kane >> Auba (plum fixtures ahead)
    B: James >> Mount / Yarma / Anderson
    C: A + B (-4)
    D: James + Kane >> Son + Haller (-4)
    E: something else

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

      E: But don't know if this would work cash wise
      Downgrade Digne or TAA this week
      GW9 do James to Son
      And hope for a massacre of Watford with Son and Kane
      Then gw10
      Go Kane to Auba

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

        Think it could work with a major TAA downgrade

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

      Oh man now you got me thinking to go for a 2 week Kane punt over Auba as I have Son already and get Auba GW10 🙂

    3. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hmm interesting shout.

      Basically what you are saying is that
      4.8m def + Son is better then Taa + Mount

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

        Yeah but it's more about the fact that Watford could take a real thumping from Spurs and if you have Kane and Son ...
        Just think it might be the wrong time to lose Kane way more explosive that Auba who will bring i a steady stream of points.
        Problem for you might be a Zinch benching which might leave your defence stretched after a TAA downgrade.

  8. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    39 points......gw rank 5,512,408. Wow

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I got 43 and was 5.4 mill (see above). Being thrashed by all the teams that started the season with Auba, Kane, Vardy, Wood, Doherty etc I suppose.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yup template got mauled this gw. OR fell from 12k > 50k.

        1. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Also Chelsea defenders like Alonso and Azpi in a lot of original teams, let alone double Liverpool defence, so I guess the template had its come-uppance

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

            Not expecting it to last though. Many big chances missed by the cheap template frontline, as well as Barnes falling off a cliff.

            The variance was huge this GW. Doesn't make the template picks bad for the future by any means

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

    They said on the radio that Ceballos changed it when he came on. Worth another week to see whether he starts? Or Yarmalenko, got exact money, or anyone else?

  10. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Suggestions for this team? 1 ft, 0.2m itb. If Kun plays full 90 tonight might do kun > auba. Thoughts?

    Pope
    Taa ota lund
    Salah kdb Son mount cantwell
    Kun Pukki

    Button dunk greenwood Rico

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      With similar team going to stick. Kun missed two games so less likely he'll not play again but who knows? Auba move probably good insurance.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers T

  11. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Roll FT? Loads of moves I could make but really would like 2FT for the Int break

    Ryan
    VVD Digne Maguire Zinchenko Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell Dendonker
    Tammy Haller Greenwood

    A) Zinch > Ota
    B) Maguire > Lundstrum
    C) Something else
    D) Save FT

    1. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Saving the FT seems like a solid option, lots of good fixtures next week. 2FT for the break and to potentially free up some funds from defence

  12. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lots of tiny red arrows and a mediocre OR. Not having KdB seems like a very bad idea right now.

    Pope
    Robertson | Dunk | Lundstram | Soyuncu | Rico
    Sterling | Salah | Lanzini | McGinn | Dendoncker
    Abraham | Auba | Pukki

    1FT, 0.1itb

    A) This Week: Lanzini ➡ Yarmolenko, Next Week: WC
    B) Save FT
    C) Sterling/Salah ➡ De Bruyne
    D) None of the above

    1. theguy69
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      C

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

      you need KDB

  13. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Aaaand here we are! 233K OR; 1 FT; 0.4 ITB. Weird week where my OR went down by 18K places but my minileague ranks went up :/
    Rolling these lads out for GW8. Doubt I'd make any transfers after my two 4.4 targets (Lascelles and Guilbert) let in too many goals. Continuing with my semi-permacap plan regardless of form and stats:

    Pope
    TAA Ota Lund
    Salah (S)terling KDB Mount
    Wilson Pukki Tammy

    Woodman Cantwell Kelly Soy

    Maybe Woodman to McGovern if I have nothing else to do and have to burn a FT in GW9. Still very far from now though

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Would change the permacap plan if Sterling plays the full 90 tonight. Otherwise Roll the FT, G2G

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What do you think about mine below?

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        The beauty of the permacap plan is that I can tap into the variance of a ghost team (see Sterling this GW). I'm not second-guessing Pep. I'm not checking minutes and all that weekly headache. Just gonna make sure my VC is fit. If KDB's doubtful, I'll switch VC to Salah for just this gameweek

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

          And I'm unbothered about captain blanks because I'm capping Salah/Sterling for 5 to 7 GWs in a row. Capping them for blocks of fixtures, not each specific fixture

          A bit weird, but it's more for my mental health than to maximize points. Crazy how the first GW I executed it, I maximised points (would have capped Salah/Tammy instead, tbh). Not saying such luck would continue though 😀

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Does make sense! Saves alot of time and energy and makes the game alot easier. GL!

  14. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Mahrez?
    Considering a swap from Salah -> Mahrez after GW7

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

      If you are the kind of FPL player who would have held Mahrez from GWs 2 to 5 (including the international break and then blank after), then get Mahrez now

      But if you had that type of patience, you wouldn't be selling Salah

      Those are my thoughts 🙂

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I have no patience 😀
        Cheers!

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      3 out of 5 game player imo. Requires too much patience but will get points, not for me but could be great.

    3. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Like throwing a fillet steak in the bin and having a ham sandwich instead.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        i can see him scoring more than salah but it depends what you do wit hthe extra cash

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          If he will score more than Salah according to you, than the use of the funds shouldn't make a difference?

          1. Bggz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            makes a difference!

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years

              Well yeah, then it does

      • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Thanks all!

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hello DZ!
      What would you do with this team? I'm thinking its best to roll the transfer

      Pope
      TAA Ota Lund
      Mane Sterling KDB Son Cantwell
      Tammy Pukki

      Button Kelly Greenwood Aurier*

      1FT, 0.7ITB

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yep I agree. Keeping eye on Norwich as seem to be a flat after City win, and if keep losing without scoring will waste a couple of places and perhaps lose value quickly.

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers! Yeah Pukki out for Wilson or Vardy if he blanks vs Villa...could be this years mitrovic.

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'd roll...

        Wait. No. Pep roulette could bring you down to 10 men if any of the following happens:
        - Stones starts
        - Tomkins/Sakho starts
        - KDB's knock bothers Pep enough
        - Pep feels like resting Sterling

        Greenwood's 1 point is certain off the bench, of course. Maybe Aurier to someone you'd have gotten with your 2 FTs by GW9 anyway? Tomori or Soy?

        I might be overthinking this and it's not even my team X_X

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks for the detailed analysis! Yeah that risk is there but the player I am eying to replace Aurier is Ricardo, and I will need that second FT to bring him in. Don't like any of Soy/Tomori/Matip for now.

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

            Alright then. Pereira's well worth the risk with rolling, so go ahead. You're welcome 🙂

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Possibly Mane, Pukki, Aurier > Mount, Auba, Pereira (-4) next week

      3. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah save or aurrier out

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers!

      4. Pinturicchio10

          I'd get rid of Aurier. Even with a fully fit squad the Spurs defence is not investable in my opinion. Couple of cheaper options there that will do the trick. Use saving + bank to rebuy Salah for Mane.

            I want to get Ricardo in for him next week using 2FTs. Possibly doing a Mini WC including one of my midfield big hitters, Pukki and Aurier for a (-4) getting Ricardo, Vardy and maybe Mount

        Should i start jorginho over pereira?

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

          You shouldn't have Jorginho...

          Oh well. I'd start him over Pereira for just this GW, yes

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

            He's my bench player. Why shouldn't I have him? He gets the odd assists and on penalties

        What ye think of this?
        I was going to get Auba in this week
        But Kane has bri WAT the next 2 and I have Son too.
        Get Kane for a 2 week punt and hope Spurs get a cricket score against Wat and then go Kane to Auba GW10?

          Can work but chances of Arsenal having cricket score is more

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

            Yeah even in those 2 weeks 8 and 9 the Arsenal fixtures are very good too it's just the Wat one that really stands out.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Auba now

        3. Pinturicchio10
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Personally not interested in either but whichever one you want long term, pick that player and stick.

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

              This is true

              As awesome as Auba is, he hasn't had a Premier League hat trick. I feel this is more due to Unai Emery than any other factor. Arsenal vs Bournemouth could end up as 3-2 with Auba having a brace

              The failings of Kane and Spurs have been discussed in lots of detail, so I don't need to go into that

              Wilson could keep up with both of them, weirdly enough. Or Vardy could beat both. It feels like you're paying extra for the name rather than the points...

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

                And Auba would be a winger by GW10 anyway

                1. Pinturicchio10
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Agree on all.

              auba now i think

              lacazette puts me off auba. hes possibly back in two gws time, it'd be annoying to see auba pushed onto the wing gw 10

                He spends half his time there as it is tbf. He just rambles all over the place. Watching the game today it was kinda putting me off getting him but then he does what he does one chance bang.

            4. Albrightondknight

              This possible Kane punt is very fixture based but he still has 6 returns from 7. And I am coming from a perspective that he is dead as a fantasy asset.
              I think it's the continous just above average GWs with small red or greens arrows that might push to this maverick move.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                And if there is a team to target as many weeks as you can then it has to be Watford.

              What do we think of Pepe?

              I've got the right money to do this and his fixtures are plumb.
              Salah, Greenwood ==> Pepe, Abraham

                        Thats how you lose at FPL. When you get sick of Pep Roulette and get rid of city players. But they still finish in the top 3 or 4 highest scorers

                          Having said that, Aguero to Auba is not a terrible move is that 1.5m helps your team

                        He wouldn't bench Auba or Pepe. That's the problem

                        It's like Willock while Unai was integrating Pepe into the team. Willock's far from the starting lineup now

                        Saka was brought to plug a Laca-shaped hole (shifting Auba to CF), and he might not even make the bench after. Europa League player, imo

                            Once you sell a player in FPL, it's like you never owned him

                            All his price gains or losses when you had him no longer count. You'll have to buy him at the market price that others are buying him at

                          Ditch Mane and Greenwood for 5m and Auba?

                          The 5m would be my 5th midfielder (non playing most weeks) and I would have no Liverpool attacking cover

                            Need to bench one:

                            A. McGinn (nor)
                            B. Cantwell (AVL)

                              If you have Pukki then bench Cantwell. Otherwise, bench McGinn.

                            This was a good week for ghost teams, and bad week for active teams, with no player previously in good form breaking the 10-point barrier

                            It's a bad week to make conclusions or rip your team apart based on. The variance was insane

                              I am findin it hard to shake off a ghost team with Salah perma captain Aguero Kane VVD 3 utd plus more junk.
                              They got 15 point off the bench in auto subs to boot this week 🙂

                            If you decided you were not going Vardy would you have Tielmans or Mount if you already had Abraham as both have nice fixtures ahead.
                            Tielmans stats worry me a bit though especially the small percentage of his shots that are actually in the box.

                              I thinking of doing Abraham to Vardy
                              Vardy is proven

                              I'm staying far away from Leicester midfielders because they will share points and I got Mount at 6.0

                              The more I think about it, the more I realize I'm trapped in my own squad. Vardy involves selling Wilson AND Pukki or Tammy. Pereira involves selling Otamendi, Soy or Lund as well as one of those strikers. Maddison involves selling Mount

                              Might be stubbornness. Might be "Can't have 'em all"

                              Gotta praise FPL for pricing them right, though. This is how things are meant to be

                              FWIW, I strongly believe Mount will outscore Tielemans over any period of game weeks

                                Tammy to Vardy surely?
                                I’m in a similar boat with dinge though, I need to sell him to allow for the Tammy to Vardy upgrade. But, digne has a great run of fixtures now

                                I think you are right my problem now is having never owned Mount it's .7 extra but I might have to stop being stubborn another factor is owning Abraham and Tomori too so it would be a triple up.

                            Actually, Aguero to Auba is a move I'm considering for exactly the same reason.

                            It defies the "wisdom" on here. But then again, following that wisdom has me floundering around the 2m overall rank, so maybe its time to actually go against the conventional wisdom on here and go for it.

                              He only was benched for 1 game though. The only reason Auba isn't getting a rest is because laca is injured. otherwise he would have been benched for the odd game as well.

                                And rest assured, Auba will get a full rest when laca is back. And Kun will start probably haul to punish you that week.
