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.

    Bottomed

    Ryan
    TAA / Vinagre / KWP / Ayling / Ferguson
    Salah / Auba / Son / Soucek / Gordon
    Werner / Jimenez / Mitrovic

    GK - McCarthy understandably popular with fixtures but prefer Ryan's occasional Pope-esque propensity for saves and bonus. Ings et al tend to dominate bonus at Splouthampton. Either way, its likely to be much of a muchness

    Def - KWP to cover those Southampton fixtures. Undecided on fourth defender but currently punting on Ayling as this seasons potential Doherty 18/19

    Mid - Spurs fixtures make me want one of either Kane or Son and Son's price plus striker alternatives give Sonny his place (for the time being). Soucek more or less likely to nick a goal in my mind despite tough fixtures. And his enabling price sees him inover Armstrong / ASM who lets not forget are still pretty punty themselves.

    For - Werner due to ownership plus shiny jew toy factor. Also think he has potwntial to be captain material and exceptional value. Jimemez is Mr Reliable and fixtures GW3-8 are outstanding. Mitrovic ok fixtures plus talisman on pens.

    Final thoughts:
    1. there are 5 penalty takers in this team
    2. Son and Werner price points make Utd switches straightforward if neccessary
    3. Hoping to hold wildcard until GW8

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

      Almost identical player value set up to my team, only difference is 4.5 def and Son to Doherty and Greenwood.

      1. Fit of Pique
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not worries about Greenwood losing his place if they sign a RW?

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

          If they do I will probably shift even more value to defence.

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

      I like your team but Werner is a shiny german toy.....

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Will KWP be nailed?

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

    Folks, which trio is best?

    A) Pulisic Kane Adams/6mil
    B) Ziyech Ings Jimmy

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

      B

  3. Paulie Walnuts

    Bench boost GW1 and wildcard GW2-3 for united/city players?

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

      It's a viable strategy. As is building for GW2/GW3 on and saving the wildcard. All about personal preference and what each approach allows you to do.

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

      I'm doing it

    3. VAR United
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why BB GW1? There be at least one DGW with the Mancs blank, why not use it then?

  4. Could Have Ben Mee
    • 9 Years

    Thoughts appreciated....

    Mc Carthy (Button)
    TAA, Walker-Peters, Vinagre, Justin (4m)
    Son, Salah, Auba, Soucek, (4.5)
    Ings, Werner (4.5)

    1.5m itb to do Son>Bruno in GW2

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Werner??

      Personally I am not sold on starting with any new comer to the premiership especially when they are a premium pick. I would wait that one out.

      A touch light at the back but you have plenty firepower in the team so anyones guess really how that one plays out.

  5. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    ASM or Armstrong...and why?

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

      Armstrong
      Better team

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fair one. Is Armstrong better than Redmond? Or is he literally just preferred cos of the price difference?

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

          Looks like better finisher for sure

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

        This

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

      ASM, better points per minute
      Will have a stronger 2nd season now adapted aaand newcastle cant finish as badly as last year, especially if they sign a new striker to put away chances he creates

    3. Fit of Pique
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Armstrong:

      1. Better team, better manager and more goals in Southampton

      2. Fixtures

      3. Southampton ended the season stronger than Newcastle. Remains to be seen how good Newcastle can be without their partisan crowd cheering them on

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

    A. Kane & Mount

    B. Son & Werner

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      B

    3. Fit of Pique
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B 100%

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

    Preseason games would be great to get some information about:

    A. Armstrong
    B. Adams
    C. Keita

    I'm quite keen on Keita as he seem to make late runs in box when he plays ... From whatever I've seen.

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

      C not for me, takes up what could be an inflexible 3rd pool spot.
      I like the prospect of A, between him and ASM I’m going to use pre season to decide.

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

        Yup

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

      Ha - I have all three currently.

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

        Keita as well ?
        Wow

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

          Yep. Good rate of return for the money. Starts a concern, but an excellent player who seems to be starting to integrate.

  8. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rp

    Thoughts on this please 3m itb for Adams to Martial or Smallbone to Greenwood.

    McCarthy
    TAA Saliba Vinagre Davies
    Salah Aubameyang Son ASM
    Werner Adams

    Nyland Smallbone Ferguson Brewster

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

      Why not get Ings then ?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Because I don't if I want Greenwood or Martial

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

      Get greenwood and plop him on the bench with this setup, save yourself a FT - if Werner does anything gw1 you’re going to have a headache getting rid

  9. Team Bobcat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on the better pick between Perez and Barnes both leicester to begin season with. Not much love shown in this forum for either. Very little in that price bracket to begin week one with!

    Chhers again folks

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

      Would actually prefer a punt on siggy or maddo than either of those two.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I hadnt contemplated Maddison.

        Barnes seem to have accumulated a lot of points with his minutes played. He is a year older also. Plenty goals and assists from him last season.

        As for Siggy?? I could never punt for him. Everton fan here..

    2. Fit of Pique
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Neither because neither is nailed.

      Madison will be mailed, but in my experience he's very straiy and you need to be patient

      Vardy head and shoulders the best pick at Leicester. None of the others worth it imo

  10. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Can’t wait for GW1 to start.....just so I can transfer out Son.

  11. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Are we aware of any starting 4.0m defs? Or possible starters?

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

      Mitchell or Ferguson.
      Some rumours floating about Johnson at West Ham too

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

        Cheers Kane, Who does Mitchell & Ferguson play for?

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

          Crystal Palace

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years

            Thanks...

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      Ferguson

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

        Decent option?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think so, Palace have a decent defence

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

            Cheers

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Monitor pre season, could be.
          Bizarrely Scott Dann isn’t on fpl and could effect the 4.0s playing time

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

            Noted

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

        Will he keep his place for how long? I hate unneeded forced defensive transfers, they are like starting with -4 to happen.

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

          Not if they’re 3rd on the bench....can just rot until WC

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

          You should be buying 4ms for the bench and only calling on them in an emergency. More fool the person who relies on them.

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

            Lundstram and AWB

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

            I don't like losing tv with them and their price drops like a stone when they don't start.

  12. SpagBol

    Hey guys,

    What do you think of this latest draft?

    Thoughts on this lot?

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Vinagre Taylor Ayling Ferguson
    Salah Auba Son Ziyech Soucek
    Ings Antonio Davis

    1 ITB

    Will get in either or both of Martial / Bruno from GW2 and do Auba -> KDB in GW3.

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

      no problem

  14. b91jh
    • 6 Years

    How is this Salahless team? Any comment would be appreciated.

    McCarthy
    TAA Doc KWP Justin Ferguson
    Soucek Auba(c) Willian
    Kane Jimenez

    Fabri Greenwood Foden Vassilev

    2.5itb prepared for Willian to Bruno on gw2.

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

      It’s ok, not a fan of the Willian pick or Foden. Both wait and see for me those 2

      1. b91jh
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Willian's place could be any one-week punt under 10.5, what's your suggestion on that if Willian is not the right man?

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

          Ziyech or Son

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

      Too punty. You need Salah, he could really hurt your OR, and your bench is too expensive. Willian is an awful pick imo, only ever got points from set pieces at Chelsea which he won’t be on at arsenal

  15. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Think I’m ready for GW1, just going to monitor pre season to decide between Armstrong and ASM:

    Ryan
    TAA | VVD | Doherty | KWP
    Salah (C) | Auba (VC) | Son | Armstrong* | Soucek
    Kane

    Button | Mitchell/Ferguson | Davis | Wickham/Brewster if loaned out

  16. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So tempting to build a team for gw 1 and 2 and then wildcard. Is it the smart move to gain quick points or keep the wildcard for later?

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

      I’m about 4-5 players away from my ideal team, pending price changes I’m either going to WC in GW2 or take a hit in GW3

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Everton team v Blackpool

    Pickford, Holgate, Braithwaite, Digne, Kenny, Davies, Gordon, Siggy, Iwobi, DCL, Kean

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

      Braithwaite is 4.0m....reckon he’ll keep his place?

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

        Doubt it

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

        Nope

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      Rich fail

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

        Strange, but maybe he is so good than no need practice for him? 😉

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

      Rich not nailed then

    4. VAR United
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Gordon & Braithwaite 😉

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

        Is he 'Braithwaite'or 'Branthwaite'?

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

      Wverton have decent fixtures. Kean at a nice price

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

        If he can start

    6. The Sarjeant
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve got my eye on DCL.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Please don't - your life will be soured for ever

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

      Gordon could be the surpise 4.5 nailed on mid...

  18. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    my entire draft depends on what I'm going to do with united / City assets.

    Greenwood for example can easily be benched gw1 for soucek who has Newcastle at home.

    Have seems some people looking to bench bruno even...

    Its a bit of planning that avoids the scramble for united assets rho will rise in price dramatically.

    Is this policy worth it? Thanks

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      no idea, I've just made a Bruno-Greenwood bench team; playing Ferguson (SOU) and Soucek (WHU) or something similar could easily 'work'

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        (NEW) obviously

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

      You might score a couple of points that otherwise, but I think it reduces the temptation to take hits or even use a chip too early.

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

        * couple less than [sorry, new PC and keyboard today]

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

      Just WC in wk 2 after picking a strong starting eleven in wk 1
      win-win

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

        I don't see how anyone can regard a GW2 wildcard as a win

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

          Well it worked a treat last season. I was 73 OR by wk 8 because of it.

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

            Sure, not saying it's impossible to play it right but the odds are severely against you. It's the most valuable chip so I'd honestly take a bunch of hits than use it so soon when we have close to zero data to go off.

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

              the other side of the coin is that the sooner you play it the bigger benefit you can reap from it

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

                Look at LR12, wk 3 WC last season

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

      I'm benching Shaw & will get Tony after GW deadline

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

        I want to keep the wildcard.

        There is some uncertainty around gw18 to 20. And I want to save it to plan for then

        Plan is to build a squad for the first 16 weeks....

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

          Good luck with that 😀
          I can't think about that far tbh.

        2. Christina.
          • 14 Years

          Jesus, how can you plan for 16 wks?

            3 years, 8 months ago

            I'm looking to bring in solid assets who I can rely on....clearly not for 16 weeks....but unless I have a disaster I don't want to wildcard early.

            Plus I'm not sure I've ever had a successful first wildcard...

            1. FOO FIGHTER

              3 years, 8 months ago

              Have to play your own game. I also plan to save my WC for as long as possible.

      Are United going to hit the ground running?

    6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Id rather see GW1 pan out. For example a Salah or Auba injury gets Bruno naturally into your side. Same maybe with Ings/Werner to Martial etc.

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

        I think greenwood is gold if united don't sign sancho

        Bruno I doubt keeps pace with last seasons scoring...

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

          He doesn't have to. He is cheaper than Salah, Auba, Sterling and KdB.

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

      Most who are getting one MU asset in will have the cheapest one, Greenwood. I expect that Bruno is the safest pick everyone will be targeting by selling Salah or Auba if either doesn't deliver gw1. So my guess is that Bruno will double rise first. Depends on results though, If Werner is on fire, people will keep him over Martial, but if he blanks that could be the most common swap. And one injury can change all predictions.

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

        Most who bench MU asset gw1 will have Greenwood, I meant.

  19. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Unpopular opinion incoming... But I hope Auba gets sold this window, makes it that much easier to pick between the big hitters in midfield.

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

      He's close to signing 250k per week deal. That is not happening.

      Most would love that.

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

      Announcement for new contract imminent, he’s staying!

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

      There is more chance of Laca leaving and Auba then becoming the ultimate FPL monster now that he is classified as a midfielder.

  20. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else considering Tierney? Reckon this will be his breakthrough season....currently in my team with those Arsenal fixtures...

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

      Yeah I wanted him but couldn’t afford

    2. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've got him atm, will probably have to sell GW3 so there's probably better options that won't force a transfer...

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Medium to long term he's a great prospect.

  21. pmletch
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Loftus-Cheek anyone?
    Back from injury, can play anywhere & makes many runs into the box. What’s the chance of him playing?

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

      Zero.

      1. Mmm sausages
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This, unless he goes out on loan

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

    Thoughts on this lot?

    McCarthy
    Vinagre, Justin, KWP
    Salah, Manè, Ziyech, Willian, Armstrong
    Vardy, Werner

    Nyland, Dallas, Ferguson, Davis

    Thanks

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      No Trent is brave. Looks pretty good.

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

      Don't get this fanfare over Willian. In his entire Chelsea career he was only a viable FPL asset since the lockdown and that was mainly thanks to his pens. He's gone to a weaker team and might not be on penalties. What's the appeal? I'd rather gamble on Pepe in those circumstances.

      1. Blunder fc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Its the crazy concept that if you dont have a big hitter you need cover from their team.

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

          Nope, not really. He has just had his best season returns to date. Likely playing in the hole. Supplying Auba and Laca as opposed to Giroud and Tammy. Decent one week punt imo.

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

        Willian is a placeholder for a week then switched to Greenwood

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

          Ah right that makes sense

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Swap Willian for Greenwood?

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

        Aye that was the plan in gw2 I could do it now and play Dallas or Ferguson I suppose. Or else downgrade him to Soucek and upgrade to TAA...

  23. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I’m going Henderson (Liv) as my 4th mid.....he was rattling in the points before his injury...only 5.5m

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

    Breakout squad using only Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Everton

    Lloris
    Robertson Digne Chilwell* Tierney
    Saka Ziyech Greenwood Son
    Firmino Martial

    Hart Vinagre Gordon Brewster

    *Assuming he moves to Chelsea

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

      Firmino's a trap, Werner is a better option at that price. Not sure why you'd bench Vinagre either. Also, Saka is unlikely to be starting consistently.

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

        It's a break out squad. Players who have the potential to make a mockery of their price.

        Firmino has the potential to score 180+ pts. If he goes on a hot streak (because he went on a poor streak last season).
        Ziyech, Greenwood, Son all have the potential to get 20+ goal contributions
        Martial has the potential to get 20+ goals this season
        Saka has the No.7 shirt for Arsenal and could be a nailed starter
        Vinagre, Gordon, Brewster could all make a first team mark this season (become starters)

        I'd be willing to downgrade Robbo to Laporte and upgrade Saka to Foden.

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

          Ah my bad, didn't know what a breakout squad was. Agree with you on Ziyech and Martial.

    2. Pinturicchio10

        Dreadful.

      • SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm no Werner fanboy but have him instead of Firmino as a breakout prospect and that's a pretty good team

      • Wild Rover

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    4. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years

      Dallas or Ayling and why?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ayling more nailed apparently... Dallas could play OOP though.

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

          I’ve heard this too but I’m not so sure - Dallas started 45/46 games last season in the league, more than Ayling.

          Have they signed someone to put Dallas at risk?

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Start Vinagre(shu) or Ferguson(SOU)?

      1. The Sarjeant
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vinagre. Southampton are quite good away from home.

      2. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vinagre. More attacking potencial

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs team v Ipswich

      Lloris, Foyth, Toby, Davies, Sessegnon, Winks, Hojberg, Fernandes, Alli, Moura , Alli

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years

        *Alli x2 = Son

      2. Werner Bremen

        Wow they cloned Alli?

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years

        Son Oop

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

          Kane will be back before season starts.

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

            I know Bro 😉

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          tbh this is probably a trial run for their congested fixtures. Even if Kane wasnt quarantined, probably still wouldnt start. Son as false 9

          Kane will be striker in the PL tho

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

        Foyth at likely RB is super interesting. If Aurier leaves and we get a Spurs defensive option for 4.5...

    7. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cannot decide who to start season up top either Vardy or Werner?

      1. The Sarjeant
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I prefer Vardy, but I’ll be in the minority.

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That’s who’s in now, good C option as well?

          1. The Sarjeant
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I think most people will captain Salah GW1 and then Aubameyang GW2.

            1. The Sarjeant
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Or a United player.

        2. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          I'll salute that call

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Werner scored two hat-tricks against Mainz last season if that helps

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Party got the GB in the prem?

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years

            I think you misunderstand my meaning

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

        I took Vardy (and Ziyech) good fixtures and CFC has Ziou and Abraham beside Werner

      4. End of King Wilson
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Leicester's attack without pereira looked one dimensional post lock down. With chilwell possibly going as well, I'm not sure how the attack will function and vardy may just have to live on scraps. Chelsea had been creating chances and scoring some, in theory, a better finisher would score more goals. But with so many new players, a period of transition is reasonable. Leicester definitely have the better six week fixture run. Jimenez I feel is the best of fixtures and team. Werner the ownership pick, but maybe better one week late than two weeks early?

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

          Bery good point with Pereira and Chilwell

    8. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A or B please guys?

      A) Doherty & Armstrong/ASM
      B) Vinagre & Pereira + 1.0ITB

      B allows for Auba & Son to KdB & Bruno

      Thanks

      1. The Sarjeant
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I actually prefer Vinagre, ASM + 1.5.

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

          Fair, I really like Pereira, my preferred differential pick

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Having said that, it does allow Son to Bruno as 1FT in GW2, hmm...
