How Aubameyang compares to other FPL midfielders after positional change

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m) will be a midfielder in Fantasy Premier League next season following the game’s relaunch.

The move comes about following Aubameyang’s half-season spell on the left flank, with Mikel Arteta’s appointment as Arsenal manager in December signalling a change of role for the Gabon international in the Gunners’ attack.

The reclassification further swells the premium options available to us in the middle of the park, with Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) also making the move to ‘FPL midfielder’ and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) rising considerably in price.

How does Aubameyang compare with the other heavy hitters after his positional switch, then?

Our Members article below delves into the data.

    I'll be getting him, especially if Laca leaves.

      Also - good article, Neale.

      Even if laca stays & Willian plays his preffered LW spot, Auba can play centrally.

      Can be amazing FPL season ahead for him 😀

      I had my best season yet last year, many things to be happy about (best top score, first top 10k, won all my mini-leagues) but the thing I enjoyed the most was LMS!
      Even though I crashed out thanks to a Rico -1 autosub!!!

      Can’t wait to get up and running with LMS20/21 - thanks so much for running this league TM.
      How’re you feeling about your 20/21 prospects?

    If you too are baffled as to why Silva didnt start last night, leave me a reply.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      There were many things to be baffled about with Pep's XI... Including that

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Too much tinkering caused that IMO.
      They were unlucky conceding second goal but lyon outsmarted them hand down.

    3. Uncle Baby Billy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pep decided that City needed a practice game before meeting Bayern. His tactics were chosen for the semi final, they had nothing to do with their actual opponents. So no, I'm not baffled at all, it made perfect sense.

      What I'm baffled by is the arrogance of the man.

    Any good mini leagues i can join? that fan team is pants.

  5. Meinhoff

    Why do we automatically assume that Auba will be moved to CF if Lacazette leaves? If Arteta wanted his best player to play as a striker why would he play him out wide the entire season? Also who else do they have who can play on the left (except Ozil lol)

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Saka can play on the left

    Good morning, I’ve joined the members league and out of curiosity would like to see where I stand in the hall of fame however bad or good it may be, will it only update at the end if each season? Thank you

        Was a member last year but not in the leagues, I’ve done ok 5/6 last seasons so am optimistic

    Twisted my arm in favour of Rashford over Son.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeh, this article didn't persuade me to get Auba, but it has persuaded me to get Rashford!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's looking pretty bad recently.
        I prefer Tony & Greenwood to him. Much better finishers

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Recently, you mean after he's rusty and had back surgery?

          I think Rashford demise compared to Martial and Greenwood is greatly, greatly exaggerated. I much prefer him over Greenwood for one and probably Martial as well.

  8. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Son in 3-5-2 or just settle with Laporte in 4-4-2. Hmm

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Son

  9. Lukakus Unit
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else think Kalvin Phillips and Ayling are good value options (depending on fixtures and fitness, of course)?

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      kalvin is a CDM ,dont know how much value he holds from fpl perspective
      Ayling can be good but lot of options at that price point in vinagre and others

      1. Lukakus Unit
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's their corner and free kick taker though.

        1. Srv210
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ritchie ,Soucek ,Smallbone can be better based on last seasons stats

        2. Stepaynter86
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Take it from a Leeds fan, we struggled to score from set pieces (corners) in the Championship, I don't expect that to improve much in the Prem. We're not a tall side so difficult to see us scoring many corners.

  10. pingissimus

    3 weeks to season start

    Any news of clubs returning to training or better yet meaningless friendlies being arranged?

    Thought I saw Liverpool start training Monday.

    1. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Liverpool are at a pre-season camp in Austria:

    2. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham have two friendlies arranged with Ipswich & Wimbledon in the coming week, Moyes has said he will split his squad in half for each game so it will be interesting who will be in the A & B team.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Aha

        Ty for that. Interesting that the friendlies are almost straight off the bat. I was sort of expecting a week of conditioning to come first.

        There’s a 4.0 prospect there no?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I'd say the early friendlies are about conditioning mainly. All light stuff.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Perhaps

            I’d have it the other way round. The friendlies will be so light intensity that they are irrelevant for conditioning as such. More to do with player combinations

            Obviously no real idea 🙂

        2. BoleynWin
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ben Johnson at right back has been touted on here as an option, he may get a fair few starts but will definitely share game time with Fredericks.

  11. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anybody has any data or guide me to any website where there is a stat comparison of Robbo vs TAA

    fairly equal if you compare their average point from last 2 seasons

    1. Lukakus Unit
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robertson's spot has been incredibly secure due to them not having another EPL level left back. He might start getting the odd rotation now that they brought in these Greek player.

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        but trent and neco can also have similar situation right?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did you compare minutes played?

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        good point ,yeah PPM greater for TAA

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo finished the season well. I feel he could outscored Trent this one. Very tempted to start with both, fixtures permitting.

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd rather have VVD over Robbo. More nailed and cheaper, similar points, higher ppm

        sorry just checked its invalid ...can anyone give the proper code

        Think that's last season's.

        1. Srv210
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          yes ,last seson..whats for this season?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            No idea. Should get updated today.

            1. the dom 1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yep thats the old code as i tried earlier. Should'nt be too far off with the new code I think?

  13. Arn De Gothia
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Willian not listed yes?

  14. huwwilliams_
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who are the best value players? Heard alot of talk about Saliba and Vinagre, any other ones?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leeds full backs and C. Taylor.
      In midfield Soucek at 5.0m seems to be packs favorite.

    2. Lukakus Unit
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would Bernardo be a good 4.0 enabler? And what are everyone's thoughts on Nketiah as a budget striker?

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        better than bernardo ...ferguson has a better chance of starting with an ageing palace defence to compete with

        1. Lukakus Unit
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I've been wondering about him. Hasn't he been injured for ages though?

          Crystal Palace has been a gold mine for 4.0 defenders the past few seasons (AWB, Kelly).

          1. Srv210
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            yeah ,AWB at 4.0m was absolute bonkers

        2. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He’s likely to need a fair bit of patience imo.

          Has been out of action since Jan I believe and has no PL experience and little enough anyway and is 100% new to Palace set up. AWB for instance had played for Palace the previous season and been training with the first squad for a long time

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            This Ferguson? I hve a spot for a benchnail and had him targeted. Is there a more likely starting 4.0?

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

          Not Mitchel? Mitchel got some minutes last season

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            More likely than Ferguson to start week 1 imo.

            PvA injured and could yet be out for some time given he'll have needed an operation. No news on that injury. The wrinkle is that Ferguson has better prospects of starting down the line. Wouldn't altogether surprise me if that meant the second half of the season or a couple of months - which means much the same thing.

  15. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Also can any WBA fan confirm that Ferguson didn’t play post knee injury in January?

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He hasn’t been in the squad since Jan 28. I can’t see this guy starting any time soon.

  16. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno and Rashford both underpriced by at least £1m. Prove me wrong.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If they share 25 penalty goals, you could be right.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        All depends if the VAR team will be still looking at United games drunk and through red glasses this season.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          -1 🙂

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      IMO Martial is underpriced

    3. Lukakus Unit
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All gonna depend on the Sevilla game.

      1. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why will the Sevilla game make them not underpriced?

        1. Lukakus Unit
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Hard to pay 9+ for a player that won't play the first few games of the season.

          1. yousunkmybattleship
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            That doesn’t make them overpriced lol

            Just means you wait a week or so to bring them in

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I feel both are a little over priced. I'll have Bruno out of fear) but avoid Rashford.Getting Greenwood instead.

      1. Treadstone
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed providing they don't get Sancho.Greenwood at 7.5 is a no brainer imo.

    5. Xanthorpe
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno is overpriced.

      1. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Because....?

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Penalty merchant 😀

    6. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This Auba article alerted me to Rashford. It seems to me that value-wise he edges it over Martial. I'm currently now holding Rashford, and Greenwood in my midfield - with KDB and Foden (plus Aguero and my Big Red 3 at the back)

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

        No Bruno?

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford could be smart over Martial anyway - better value than Son? More goals at United but they get split more ways too. Were it not for EL I'd be going Son first.

      3. Baron Penguin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hi Andy, we’ve discussed 3 Liverpool at the back a couple of times. Are you still happy now you’ve drafted a squad? Who are your thoughts on 4.5/4.0 defenders? I have C.Taylor and Branthwaite ATM. Sterling Bruno KDB and Foden , then 6.5 6.0 4.5 up front.

    7. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tony & GW are underpriced

      1. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, all Man Utd assets are IMO.

        1. yousunkmybattleship
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well not literally all but the ‘big 4’

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Tony not underpriced. Compare to Ingsy/Jimenez... Rashford is though

  17. dshv
    • 6 Years

    When we are going to talking and showing the teams guys, cant wait?

    1. S.Kuqi

      Once the fixtures are released. Endless stream of rmts

    2. the dom 1

      My first draft is almost done. Just cant decide on a 4.5m Def?

      a. C. Taylor
      b. Vinagre
      c. Your thoughts?

      Cheers

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        My tips are Vinagre and Saliba.

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I've gone with both of these in first draft.

  18. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone here looking to start with 343 formation or is it dead option nowadays?

    1. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s all about the 550 this season!

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        -1

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im looking at 343 to start the season but will most likely go the 253 by about GW 3 depending on fixtures lol

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had a good one but I've still gone 443/352.

    4. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've just thrown a decent 343 together.

  19. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Laporte's place isn't safe true?
    Pep's roulette and now with ake joining city...

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think Ake will start for sure.....

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's a bit pricey and injury prone. I'll avoid.

      1. Emiliano Sala

      No player safe for City. Did not see the watch the match but saw the linepup.

      Cancelo played as a CM?

    The Only underpriced players are VVD, Salah and Antonio.
    And maybe Shaw once he is fit

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hehe

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      0.5 underpriced are Sterling, Mitro, Kdb, Taa and Fernandes.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Add Martial to the list also

        1. S.Kuqi

          Him aswell

      Martial too cheap by 1m at least

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think rashford is a better option. So I forgot martial
        Forgot to add TAA to the list.

          The pricing and reclassification of certain players have killed off Bruno it seems

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I currently have both rashford and bruno. The only issue is that bruno got too much points by penalties
            May not happen again

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Where does this too much points from pens thing come from? And How much is too much?

              He got 4 pens & 117 points in 14 games

              If he had zero pens he’d still have 97 points in 14 games

              Even reduce it to 90 removing another 7 baps

              That’s 6.4 PPG - or 244 on a 38 game season - WITHOUT pens

                I'm looking at dropping Martial in favour of Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood although I can only do that if I also drop Aguero. But I think the 3 midfielders are the best value in the United squad.

                1. Emiliano Sala
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  I think GW is a risky pick and may get subbed early

                Great post

                Bruno is a player that really seems to inspire a higher degree of:

                (A) lazy analysis (I’m not getting him, he’s just a penalty merchant)

                and/or

                (B) mental gymnastics (he had easy fixtures, he played relegation fodder)

                and/or

                (C) straight up complacency (he can’t keep scoring like this he’ll regress)

                You’ve done a great job on explaining (a) already

                On (b) His fixtures weren’t even easy - 35% of his games were against top 7 sides.... on a normal season players only have to play 31% of their games against the top 7

                On (c) he could regress 10-15-20% & still be scoring 250+ in a season

                Tinker mania & Foo Fighter are the two main proponents of the lazy analysis/mental gymnastics I’ve seen to date & definitely could see him burning doubters (Though they do seem to be in th minority in fairness) this season

      ASM should probably be 6.5

  21. huwwilliams_
    • 9 Years

    If united don't sign sancho, greenwood becomes a must have @ 7.5 then, right? Still personally think Sancho will make the move this summer tho

    1. 3 A
      • 8 Years

      His XG is so low. Underlying stat dont backup him but he seem too dangerous too ignore. Clynical.

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not much talk about Grealish. Obviusly depends on fixtures but great price point and good value for 7.0

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      +1

      depends on fixtures I suppose

    2. Lukakus Unit
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure it depends on fixtures. He did well against Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea last season.

      1. 3 A
        • 8 Years

        It depend on form

  23. Fernando Torres

    Anyone else think Ziyech is underpriced?

    1. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Well he's new to the league so it's a gamble always. He's in my team tho and i think he'll claim set-pieces.

    2. PartyPooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I think he might be. He's in my draft currently. Probs get some set pieces as well.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Him and Tadic both were playing amazing for Ajax but most of us still remember that Tadic flattered to deceive in PL.
      Dosent mean that Zyiech will too but people are right to be carefull as sometimes stars from Eredivisie dissapoint in England (Depay or Alfonso for example).

    Is ASM an option at 5.5m? Quite like his potential at that price.

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He's in my 1st draft as we speak.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          was thinking of maybe Henderson, Soucek or Trez too!

          Thoughts on those?

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Soucek has some upside. I wouldn’t want to waste a Pool slot on Hendo personally. Trezeguet isn’t guaranteed his place in the starting 11 so I’d wait and see with him.

  27. R.C

    Can the premium defenders match 6-8m Fwds and Mids?

    Or will they be even better value?

    Thoughts?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No reason why TAA cant match Ings/Jimenez for 1m less

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Apart from TAA

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well I reckon Doherty(6m) will beat Mitro(6)
          Vvd(6.5m) should beat say Antonio/Wood(6.5m)

          ...if that is what you are asking

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      There is the problem that we have to start comparing what we get for extra money spend. Doherty is better than Vinaigre, but costs 1.5 million extra. Soucek is 5.0. So which do you want?

      A) Doherty + Soucek
      B) Foden + Vinagre

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        a easy

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could see Doherty & Laporte getting 170 for 6.0

      VVD could push for 185+ at 6.5

      But Vinagre & Taylor could get 130’s for 4.5 too

      6-8m attackers will do very well to get 180-200

      A mix of maybe 3 expensive defs and 2x 4.5’s in a back 4 maybe?

      Would still allow KDB, Bruno & 10.5 & 8.5 striker slots then too

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's the way I'm thinking at the moment

        Ryan
        TAA, VVD, Doherty, 4.5 rotation
        Sala, KDB, Traore, Soucek
        Werner, Martial

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Looks lovely - on something quite similar in current tinkers, but Greenwood for Adama, Bruno for Mo & Kun for Werner

          But 4-4-2 seems to give a lovely spread of options for sure

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I've tweaked my draft closer to what you've been advocation - Big Red 3 + Laporte at the back in a 4-4-2. 4 Mancs in the middle but gone for Rashford over Bruno as I can't squeeze out the extra million.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          *MBP

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah it’s tough mate

          There are about 6 or 7 different approaches that all look good - back 3’s, back 4’s back 5’s etc

          It’s getting to the stage where we need fixtures now to prevent decision fatigue!

          A thought that came to me this morning - If Arteta moves Auba over to be centralstriker - that could change everything again (he’d surely get +5-10 goals up front?)

          If he’s out wide I’m ok with swerving him though

          1. Goonsquad245
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Auba will score similarly out wide or up front. He’s always furthest forward and will move central for chances regardless.

            Just makes it a technical ‘mis-categorisation’ by FPL if he does start playing centrally

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I’d harken back to his Dortmund days when he was a proper central striker & would back him to score more centrally, he’ll just be presented with more chances and spend more time in the box - it couldn’t help but add up over a season I’d say

              1. Goonsquad245
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Different league, different team. IMO, it won’t make much of a difference whether he’s central on the team sheet or not - he hardly gets stuck out on the left wing when he is technically playing there.

                Makes a difference for someone like Son who can get marooned out there (and has tended to work in reverse for players like Hazard), but not Auba for me.

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Yeah I’d just personally see him getting more output playing as a striker - it’s his natural position - rather than out wide

                  Hopefully Lacazette stays on the books

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Take a look at the Value Season filter on the FPL website, which divides points earned last season by this seasons player value.

      There is just one mid (Lunstram who's position has now changed) and 4 mids (only Ayew under 8.0m) with a rating over 21.5 points per million, but there are 14 defenders with that rating or higher.

  28. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Do you think that Son - Rash - Puli -Ziyech - Mahrez will manage to get more points than Robbo?

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, all apart from Mahrez - pep roulette

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not Puli or Mahrez because of minutes
      Son.. looking at his FPL history, no
      Rash and Ziyech yes

  29. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Why the love for Vinagre at Wolves? He didnt start the last couple of games in the league.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jonny injured

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        ...in Europe after EPL finished, so will not be reflected in EPL starts

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          To clarify, I mean it wouldn't be reflected in EPL starts of last season

          Vinagre is now the only fit recognized LWB, so is expected to be nailed if they don't buy anyone else

    Antonio, Wood & Mitro ?

      I think Foden better option than Wood for that price

      Prefer Werner-Mitro-Davis frontline myself 🙂
