Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges joins Fantasy Football Scout for 2020/21

We at Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’ve added yet another high-profile name to our all-star cast of contributors for the 2020/21 season.

And Fantasy Premier League managers don’t come much more illustrious than Fábio Borges, who currently sits atop our Career Hall of Fame.

You’ll need a pretty impressive season history to claim first place in those rankings and Fábio boasts an incredible track record of five successive finishes in the top 5,000 of FPL.

Two of those have been inside the top 1k, with his best-ever overall rank of 95th recorded in 2018/19.

Fábio has never finished outside the top 20,000 in six seasons of playing the game and, just to underscore his prowess, he was also the winner of Ragabolly’s inaugural Virtual FPL competition over the summer.


The Lisbon resident will be involved with Fantasy Football Scout in a Pro Pundit capacity and will be writing articles throughout the season.

Fábio follows site founder Mark Sutherns in joining our star-studded team of contributors, which includes some of the best FPL managers in the world.

The likes of Lateriser, Zophar and Tom Freeman, who have multiple top 1k finishes between them, have come aboard for another year and we are thrilled that they will be writing for us once again in 2020/21.

While there will be our usual offering of free content from these elite names, only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will get unrestricted access to all of their analysis and team reveals.

Full-year subscriptions are available for the pre-season price of £17.50 until August 31, while rolling monthly Memberships can be purchased for £2.99.

      Don't like 1 up top, there are a lot of good striker options who you won't be able to get as easily. Defenders look solid.

      Personally I would shift one of mane and salah and have another striker.

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1. Playing against Ipswich
      2. When Kane plays up top, Son isn't as explosive
      3. Its the first pre-season match!

      Are you getting Son or Kane?

      1. Pedram
        • 10 Years

    Pricing Sessegnon at 5 is harsh after playing just over 300mins last season.

    Manchester United players are where the value lies imo. If you assess them on the last third of the season with Bruno playing from GW 26 onwards (I'm excluding GW25 as he had just arrived from and played in Portugal a few days earlier) then you'll see what I mean. Joint top goalscorer in this upcoming seasons forwards category was Martial (9 goals, 3 assists), Bruno accrued 2 more goals and 2 more assists than KBD (admittedly with quite a few more minutes) and Greenwood would have only been outscored by his team mate, Sterling, Aubameyang and Mane amongst the midfielders which isn't bad for 7.5m. Jeez, even their much maligned defence earned eight clean sheets in that period 13 week period!

    I think I'll start with at least one of those on the bench in GW1 and reap the rewards in GW2!

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s just hard to fit everyone in. United are going to offer great value this season.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is my dilemma currently have Fernandes bench so he comes straight on for GW2 without need of transfer

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely starting with greenwood on the bench

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve got Greenwood on my bench.
      Don’t really fancy anyone else at that price and will save an FT by not having to bring him in.

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Worth noting that those returns came in a run of fixtures easier than those other teams faced.

      But yes, there could be value there.

    6. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes they were very good last season. I was thinking of greenwood on the bench but have been convinced that its probably better to start with Son and make move to greenwood / Fernandes in Gameweek 2 or 3.

      Having Fernandes on the bench feels bad to me, If son scores a goal that's maybe 10 points and then I can swap to Fernandes and be up on all those who benched him.

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree that Man Utd offer value. But not keen on Rashford.

  6. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bench Fernandes and play Soucek or get in Son from the start??

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

      Son for me

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm benching Bruno and playing Soucek. So that.

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

        This.

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

      Soucek with his first two fixtures, especially the first one - has returns expected all over it imo. Kane will be back and therefore Son back out wide. Kane’s the main man. Plus Europe exertions.

  7. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If City and United had their GW1 fixture, how many assets from each team would you actually include from the start?

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

      1 each

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have 1 from each benched (Bruno & Kdb) and not gonna bring in any more as it currently stands.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think atleast 3.

      If they started from GW1 they would have a pretty decent run of fixtures as they were facing Burnley & Villa.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 each. Probably KDB, Laporte, Martial, Greenwood.

  8. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's this? A

    Mccarthy (4)
    TAA - Vinagre - Justin - Saliba (Ferguson)
    Salah - Auba - Son - Armstrong (Greenwood)
    Werner - Mitro (4.5)

    0.5 itb.

    Potential plan of Auba/Armstrong to Kdb/Foden for GW3, if Foden seems a good idea.

    1. Pedram
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Template

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not bad at all. I am looking at something similar but currently have Ings and Vardy up top and no greenwood on the bench.

  9. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So Suarez is not wanted by Koeman. Will he come back to the PL and who could buy him?

    1. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Barce have lost the plot

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        But they're a club that treads a fine line between genius and madness. Cruyff and Pep are perhaps extensions of this

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rumours he could return to Ajax but would have to take a huge paycut. I can't see any prem teams moving for him to be honest. great player but getting older and massive fees.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Back to Liverpool would be nice!!

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No thanks, wouldn't suit the team now. Don't want his constant drama and bad attitude.

    4. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Are there any clubs in the PL that actually want that racist * back?

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Liverpool loved him even when he was being massively racist.

      2. FPL Xylophone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea?

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Auba in a swap deal 😉

  10. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood and Martial or Bruno and Mitro could be a defining call...

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes looked at something similar. Ziyech & Jimenez also cost the same.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I keep getting to the point of .5 off. Same spine as yourself:

        8.5 GKs
        TAA
        Salah Auba
        Werner

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I guess there is some merit in spreading the cash given that we have 3 premiums already but I really want Bruno in my team for GW3 & 4 atleast. Because if he explodes in the first 2 games he'll be template very soon.
          Also it's tough choosing 2 out Salah/KDB/Raz/Bruno at this point.

          1. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Bruno is (arguably) the most obvious captain choice in GW3 as well. Don't fancy not having him at that point.

          2. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I don’t think it will work like that.

            The pricing means you can’t have them all, and all those premium mids are going to have games where they haul, and possibly at the same time.

            All it takes is Salah to grab a brace in GW2 and Greenwood or Rashford to haul instead of Bruno then everyone’s head gets turned.

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

      Yeah, I think I prefer the former.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno combo since you have captain

  11. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    as a foreigner ouside the UK, will it be soon when they allow spectators in the Premier League stadiums?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, some early next season I’d of thought

  12. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Everton currently losing 3-2 again Blackpool

  13. Gol D Roger
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    McCarthy Nyland
    Taa Justin Dallas Vinagre Stevens
    Salah Madd Stevens Romeu Auba
    Kane Mitrovic Ings

    Auba is a placeholder for KDB or Bruno depending

    Team is built for 4-3-3 for 4-5 game weeks before a wildcard

    GW1:
    McCarthy
    Taa Stevens Justin vinagre
    Salah (C) Maddison Auba (vc)
    Kane Mitrovic Ings

    Thoughts ?

    Thoughts ?

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

      I'm debating a similar team but realising its Kane 4.5 vs Bruno 4.5 and I think I gotta go with Bruno surely. KDB in for Auba

      1. Gol D Roger
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s purely for the first two game weeks for the most part when it comes to Kane , Everton’s defence (even before today’s showing) didn’t look convincing

        & palace is historically a tricky game for United

        But Bruno is defo one to come in when United s games hit a good stretch !

  14. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Choose:

    A) Doherty, Armstrong, Bruno & Mitro
    B) 5m Def, Ziyech, Martial & Mitro
    C) 5m Def, Armstrong, Martial & Jimenez

    Think this is my biggest dilemma with my team rest all pick themselves (TAA, Salah, Auba, Werner, Wolves def, Soucek & 4.5m defs).

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

      I quite like A to be honest. You could even do Pepe and Jimenez instead of Bruno and Mitro so your not having 10.5M on the bench the first game.
      The 5M defenders might be gold but their unlikely to match Doherty given his attacking ability and Wolves record with Boly.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yup I've considered Ziyech & Jimenez but that would mean I have to take a hit to get Bruno in GW2 which isn't ideal.

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

          I can see your logic. Crystal Palace is good fixture but you could get a get more points in the first few weeks without worrying about Man Utd assets. If you're set on captaining Bruno I can understand the logic. You have Salah, Werner and Auba as captaincy options so you could punt on a potentially explosive 6 to 8M midfielder and upgrade Mitrovic and maximise your points better.

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

            Voice of reason.

            Too many people believing their season will be over by GW3 if they don’t have Bruno. He’s one of a bunch that will score similarly over the season.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A, I think.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  15. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Robertson to city would be a game changer. Everyone's going to get their 2nd choice lb if that happens

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This will never happen

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Probably. Just a rumour

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

      Swap with Kdb? Seems likely.

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Even IF Pool were to sell him, I don't think they'd sell to their direct rival.

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

      Yes KDB to United would be another game changer

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not going to happen. Liverpool owners will eventually stump up the cash for Thiago Alcântara.

      Alisson
      TAA Gomez VVD Robbo
      Thiago Fabinho Henderson
      Salah Firmino Mane

      Adrian
      Williams Matip ????? Tsimikas
      Wijnaldum Keita Jones
      Ox Origi Minamino

      Shaqiri, Wilson, Grujic and possibly Milner will be allowed to move on to fund the purchase of a backup CB.

    6. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What..? That is some complete and utter bs lmao. Never happening

  16. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Dele Alli (8.0) a viable punt?

    Back in the Spurs team this afternoon and looking pretty good! Could he be a decent differential pick for the season opener against Everton

    Btw Alli was involved in 14 goals in 21 pl starts last season (8g 6a).

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. CAMs are always a no go in a mourinho team. Makes them track back instead of a free role

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

        Not true when it comes to Alli. Mourinho lets him play as a second striker behind Kane, pushing up into the box when he finds the right moment.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Not anymore

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like Ziyech and Pepe better than him and Ndombele is likely to take minutes from him anyways.

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

        Not sure how Ziyech will perform. Reckon he starts off with a bang in a new league?

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

          World class creator in that amazing looking front three in Lampard's attacking system with fixtures of Brighton (A), West Brom (A), and Palace (H) in the first four. Also on set pieces and a continuous long range shooter. Nailed on in my team unless Pepe pulls off a miracle.

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wait and watch

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s an awkward price for me.

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

      No, overpriced and rotation risk. Also just an overall bad player for years now

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Leno or Lloris?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leno + 0.5

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs fixtures better though

        1. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Overall I like Lloris but just think that a GK for 5.5 is too expensive. Rather go 4.5 and bank the 1.0mn.

          Did you see McCarthy / Ryan?

    2. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lloris - fixtures as you said

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

      Lloris. Highest PPG out of starting keepers last season, easy fixtures with lots of CS. Will get BPS and save points due to the way Jose sets up his team. Shades of De Gea 17/18.

    Mc Carthy
    TAA - Justin - Vinagre
    Auba - Salah (C) - Son - Ziyech - Maddison
    Mitrovic - Adams

    Ziyech >> Bruno for GW 2

    Looks insecure with cheap forward :((

  19. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Son + Martial
    B) Kane + Greenwood

    Benching 1 United asset in GW1 and see how it goes for GW2. Stats probably suggest A, but Kane is drawing me in...

    1. Dynamic Duos

      A

    Thoughts on this team?

    Still early days, but liking this setup.

    McCarthy
    Robertson • Vinagre • Taylor
    Salah • Son • Auba • Ziyech
    Werner • Mitro • Che Adams (if he looks like a starter in Pre Season)

    4.0 - Dallas - Ferguson - Gordon (4.5)

    No TAA, yes. A risk. But no Robertson is an equal risk as he's got the similar threat from open play and corners/setpieces as well.

    Thoughts?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Like it ... Robbo could be a good differential

    2. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just feel like without TAA and his ownership levels, could go south. But generally it’s good. Taylor? Assume you’re starting with Ferguson?

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not bad at all. Robbo over TAA is something I'm considering at the start of the season as Robbo finished last season well. Over long term TAA will be better though but could correct that on wildcard.

      Ziyech I'm not sure on as haven't seen much of him and dutch league is notoriously poor, a wait and see for me but jumping on early as a punt could work out.

    4. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go TAA - both because of ownership and also he is more dangerous due to direct FKs. For assists though, both TAA and Robbo are similar.

      Siggy essential?

        Definitely

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

        I actually think hes a very attractive price for this season

        1. FPL Xylophone
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Indeed

  22. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood and Ings
    Fernandes and Armstrong

    Interesting conundrum

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      First one for now.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        yes, I think I'm on that. Stick with it, be patient. Can't have everyone. Perhaps Fernandes in instead of KDB for Auba

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

      I prefer the latter tbh

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

        Same

  23. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Liverpool strong first XI in the friendly..

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah just been looking at that, very strong team

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

      Mass rotation at half time

  24. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gordon as an eventual starter would be marvellous

  25. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ah that pre season period where teams are ripped up on a game by game basis depending on who did well in a literal friendly that almost has 0 basis in how the season will go

      Not saying you can't learn important things like Lundstram last year but by in large try not to jerk that knee too much

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

        Yeah, I think the same, too much panic changing but it’s all friendlies. Spurs against Ipswich for example, the discrepancy in quality is mammoth yet people will probably assume spurs are suddenly a different team under Mourinho. All changes when PL kicks off for Mourinho’s sides.

        1. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Bang on, mate!

    • sw3nzor
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hi everyone!

      McCarthy, (Nyland)
      Justin, Egan, Basham, (Douglas, Johnson)
      Salah, Auba, Ziyech, Saka, (Leko)
      Kane, Vardy, Mitrovic

      0.5 ITB, because my plan is to swap either Ziyech and Vardy too for Rashford and Martial if I feel like after first week.
      Long term plan is to upgrade my defense, obviously TAA and Robbo later on.

      Thoughts?
      Cheers!

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Decent, would prefer ASM/Armstrong to Saka. Willian could mean les gametime for Saka.
        Also Ferguson/Mitchell may provide more gametime as 4.0s.

        Also Soucek instead of Saka would enable only one 4.0 defender

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

        Not certainn tbh. Kane is known to be a slow starter and you have too many transfer targets, if you want to get Manchester assets in also.

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

          I agree with this

    • SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m all done with structure, just really need one of Ferguson/Mitchell to look like they will start in GW1!
      Plus hopefully Brewster gets a loan move to another prem team.

      Ryan
      TAA | Doherty | Vinagre | KWP | Ferguson*
      Salah (C) | Auba | Son | Soucek
      Kane (VC)

      4.0 | 4.5 str | 4.5 str | Greenwood*

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not a fan to be honest. 1 up top is very inflexible and Soucek as a long term starter is not great either imo, one good fixture then tough run.

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough, yes I’m hoping Soucek becomes fixture proof. E.g scored against Chelsea last season

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bench??

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Non existent, though as mentioned for GW2 onwards if Brewster gets a loan move and one of the 4.0 defenders gets decent time then there’s 2 in the wings

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

        Kane and Son is overkill if they don't deliver and injuries happen to other players. Might force you to early WC.

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          True, I more than likely will WC early yes

      4. JURGENAUT
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think it’s quite nice, Just a bit worried about then 4.0 defender starting. If somehow could be upgraded to 4.5, would ne nice.

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Should only be an issue GW1, Greenwood off the bench GW2.

          I’ve played around with it and have lots of flexibility/options to get KdB/Fernandes/VVD etc

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

            Yeah, I see your view, greenwood coming off the bench in GW2 is a bonus. Good luck with it 🙂

            1. SEXY SALAH
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks you too. How you looking?

        2. JURGENAUT
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Would be nice*

      5. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea?

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Not a fan, I want to wait and see with them.
          Admittedly there’s a few good looking options, but want to see who looks like performing best first.

      6. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Need two up top, Ings and Mitro great value/fixtures

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Did consider this yes

      7. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don't like the look of Spurs double-up. I think there is better value in Ings/Jimmy/Werner up top instead of Kane, if you want to reconsider.

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah the double up is my mini differential, great fixtures to boot plus makes Son to Bruno easier

      8. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Also only need one wolves defender to start with and with those fixtures Doherty ain't worth it

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Attacking returns for Doherty is what I’m going for, also only 0.5 needed to go to VVD.

    • FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Are all these players being planned to be swapped out for UTD and City assets based on whether they will do well or just because most are doing it?

      I mean Auba to KDB honestly is as sideways as anything.

      Auba as a mid is the cat amongst the pigeons. OOP too with Laca likely to take the back seat now that Willian has joined the ranks.

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

        Yeah, I don’t think it should be planned. Why fix something that is not broken I’d say.

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

        Seems as Auba is placeholder for kdb Bruno etc, what if Auba does well gw1, people still gonna take him out for w ham game?

    • _Galácticos_
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wonder what kind of details he will share, cause he was not on social media... and turned down to be interviewed for the "meet the manager" ...

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

        Who?

    • WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ben Chilwell is set to sign for Chelsea on a £150,000-a-week contract after the Blues agreed to pay Leicester City £50m

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Should of got Tagliafico, half the price, twice the player!
