The arrival of Nathan Aké (£5.5m) at Manchester City could improve the club’s defensive prospects in 2020/21.

Pep Guardiola’s men were missing consistency and strength in depth at centre-back last season but Aké can be stabling influence this time around.

We have assessed the former Bournemouth defender’s credentials ahead of the new campaign, what impact he will have on the City defence and whether or not that can make him a viable Fantasy Premier League asset.

What defensive contributions did Aké make last season?

    Who’s a better pick

    A. Dier
    B. Davies

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I've seen this question so many times. Neither, they're both poo.

      1. slamdunk
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I agree,both poo choices

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      B if forced,used to have decent attacking threat, don’t know what happened

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Messi to West Brom apparently

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Are Luton Town no longer in the reckoning?

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Is he happy being the 2nd highest paid player behind Charlie Austin?

    I've been pretty locked in with a Salah - Auba based midfield for GW1, but I actually wonder if Mane might do a better job as part of a Liverpool double up.

    What do you think?

    a) Salah - Auba
    b) Salah - Mane

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A. Auba v ful and west ham is just to tempting for me

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I prefer a Mane/Auba double up rather than having wasteful Salah in my team

    3. dylano21
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A

    4. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I have b)

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Gone with all 3 currently

    6. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I see your thinking and even tempted by starting with all three

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I have all three, but it is making for some tough decisions in other areas

        1. Ser Davos
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          sacrificing VVD and an Ings/Jimenez is the issue

  4. Soto Ayam
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A) soucek + Antonio
    B) soucek + mitrovic
    C) Armstrong + mitrovic
    D) Saint maximin + mitrovic

    Tenants

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 7 Years

      Thanks

    2. dylano21
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C

    3. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C or D

    4. Soto Ayam
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks for your replies. Am thinking Antonio at first, then switch to mitro if he starts well

      1. Avery
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Haller got a hat trick in their friendly today

    5. MJF
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Yeah a can of Tennants please.

    6. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Before fixtures A. After fixture release C.

  5. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Thoughts on this?

    McCarthy Steer
    Trent Egan KWP C.Taylor Ferguson
    Salah Auba ASM Periera
    Kane Werner Mitrovic

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Includes 4.5 mid

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I think you may well have the ideal strike force.
        Like Pereira and I actually think I prefer Soucek to ASM

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Thanks Kap

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Still don’t understand why people are so fascinated with KWP.

      He plays for a poor team which doesn’t have a great set of fixtures.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Southampton are not poor

  6. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Rodrigo to Leeds. Wow. Absolutely nailed in my squad. Sensational.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Price?

      1. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Id assume 6.0

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Thanks, will personally still start with Mitro over him given fixtures but will keep an eye for sure

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Or, in other news "Bolton reject signs for Leeds".

      1. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Very different player now and could score 10+ goals in the league for Leeds if he starts often!

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          he could actually change the template a bit and displace Mitrovic in many people's formations if he's priced at £6.0M. It would be intriguing to see how he performed in a Bielsa team.

    3. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      His stats aren't amazing. I guess he's in a mid-table la liga team...Still probably better than Leeds though

  7. El Magico5
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Saliba straight in if he continues to get minutes over pre season?

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      agree

      Charity shield at weekend will show

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      It's between him and Justin for the last spot in my def. On Justin atm because of fixtures.

  8. Lovren an elevator
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Who's the most nailed spurs defender? Alderweireld?

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Jose likes dier

      1. Chazz69

        the fridge on wheels lol

  9. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Hi....How does this look please? Greenwood benched gw1.

    4.5m defenders under review

    Mccarthy nyland
    Taa doherty justin saliba ferguson
    Salah auba greenwood asm armstrong
    Werner jiminez davis

    Thanks

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Steer is likely to start ahead of Nyland.

      Two £5.5m in midfield is too inflexible.

      Downgrade Jim and upgrade your fourth midfielder?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Could downgrade Jimmy to mitro.

        But who do I upgrade asm / armstrong to, with the additional 2.5m???

        Cheers

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Ziyech is popular

        2. The Mighty Hippo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Ziyech, Willian, Maddison, Alli

        3. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          I prefer it how it is.
          Jimenez and £5.5m mid will score higher than the alternatives suggested imo.
          People worry too much about flexibility, you can get anyone with a saved transfer.

      2. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Evidence?

    2. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      That’s my current team except that I have 4.5 mid instead of Armstrong and 1mio itb to do either of ASM -> foden, or Werner to Kane/Aguero, Justin -> AWB .... more flexibility

      Ofcourse it’s predicated on Ferguson or any other 4.0 def starting for GW1

  10. Visionaries
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Was set on Werner/Son combo, but I'm liking this new tactic.
    Thoughts?

    Mccarthy
    TAA, Justin, Vinagre, (Taylor, Ferguson)
    Pepe, Willian, Salah, Ziyech, St Max
    Kane, Adams, (Davies)

    4.0 ITB
    GW 2 - Pepe, Willian or Ziyech > Bruno, would still leave 1.5, could also get Son/Greenwood for -4

  11. dylano21
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    This combinations are both 18.5 mil.

    Would you rather have :

    A) Son + Werner
    B) Kane + Ziyech

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I have A. Nothing in it though.

    2. LangerznMash
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Too close to call.

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A just

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Currently have all 4 but will likely change

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Whoa, greedy!

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Yeah but no Auba so will have to re-evaluate.

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C) Son & Kane

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        19.5m... 1m over the limit.

        1. Mighty Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Son to Alli?

        2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Worth it 🙂

          I couldn’t call it otherwise, I think I would actually flip a coin

  12. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Imagine Messi and Chris wood up top

    Little and large at its best

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Oh yeah, cos Barnes and Rodriguez are so bad. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Salah and Vinagre

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I prefer a good caesar dressing over a salad with plain vinagre

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I think it’s a crisp flavour.

        Salah Vinagre always beats Jesus Onomah

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Ahahaha. I see what you did, there. 😆

  14. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Best 5.0 either def or mid who's pretty much nailed to play in either a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2? (not Wolves or Southampton) :

    A - Dier
    B - Lindelöf or Shaw (Ferguson deputising for GW1)
    C - Bellerin
    D - Hojbjerg (if looks like he's gonna be a starter for Spurs?)
    E - Ritchie
    F - Soucek (decent player/awful fixtures)
    G - Other? Who?

    Thanks.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      G Egan

      1. Sune
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        This

      2. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Even with Wolves, Arsenal, Liverpool in first 6 fixtures and now minus Hendo? Mmm...unsure tbh?

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Those fixtures though?!!!

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          I don’t think the fixture changes his likelihood of scoring, just pops up

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Probably Dier. As disgusting as that sounds

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Defo looks an option i think but yeah doesn't sound fantastic on the surface by any means i know?!!

    3. ㅤRising
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Taylor at 4.5 beats them all easily

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Good shout. Is he fit again yet?

        1. ㅤRising
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Didn't realize he was injured?

          1. Lovren an elevator
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Pieters came in for him after re-start

      2. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Not for me but thanks!!

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Soucek. Can bench if need be, good goal scoring threat. Most likely to become a bandwagon.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I guess so, in for now and beady eye on pre-season?

  15. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Too much in defence?
    Would rather a 5.5mid over Soucek?

    What's your thoughts on team below:

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Egan Saiss KWP Taylor
    Salah Auba Son Soucek Gordon
    Werner Ings Brewster

  16. 272MK
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    So how much will Messi be priced?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      13.5m mid by FPL standards surely

    2. Reeceviljoen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      14.mil

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Too much !

    4. ㅤRising
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I would put him at 15m just because Messi

    5. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      12.5 or 13 my guess, albeit can't see the transfer happening

    6. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      At least 14. RVP, Ronaldo, and Henry were all priced that high.

  17. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Which option of the two looks better?

    A) Maddison, Armstrong, Werner, Kane
    OR
    B) Pereira, Mane, Mitrovic, Ings

    Already have Ziyech & Son.

    1. One Man
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Actually prefer B

  18. Mighty Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Digne worth a gamble?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Don’t think he’s worth 6.0, should have been 5.5 tops

    2. Nuka Girl
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      In what way is he a gamble?

  19. QUEN
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Leeds have signed Rodrigo...

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Not exactly prolific, he scored 4 goals in 27 games last season

      1. QUEN
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Never said it would be.

        Bamford potential 5.5m point not as attractive now however with him floating about

    2. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Wow. Reported to be 30 mil rising another 10 with incentives. Crazy. No way he's worth that.

  20. One Man
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Which option of these 2 looks better

    1. VVD, Davies, Saint Max, Kane

    Or

    2. Egan, Walker peters, Pulisic and Werner ??

  22. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    I vaguely remember people's excitement when 5.5 Jiminez signed. How does the excitement from then compare with Rodrigo now?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Think we need to see Leeds as a prem outfit first

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Like Wolves had so much proven quality (incl nationally capped players) you just knew they would do well

        1. Ser Davos
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Figured as much

      Rodrigo has scored 12 goals in 60 over the last two seasons. Mind you ninny had never had a 10 goal season before wolves so it may be a similar meteoric rise

        Jimmy and Wolves are just the perfect marriage aren’t they? Got the absolute best out of him in their players, tactics and setup.

      Fantastic catch

    4. Bobby Digital

      Rodrigo will be in my team when Leeds fixtures turn.

    5. Treadstone

      4 goals in 27 games this season and a knee ligament injury in July.Could be past his best.

    RMT please.

    Ryan
    TAA / Doherty / VVD
    ASM / Son / Aub / Ziyech / Salah
    Mitro / Antonio

    Subs are budget players.

    Thanks in advance!

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      Ziyech to Pereira
      Antonio to Ings/Jimenez

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

        ...is what I’d change

    James Rodriguez to Everton? Do me a favour. Wouldn’t be interested in him from an FPL POV. Not in that Everton team right now.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      How the mighty have fallen. 2014 seems such a long time ago

    3. Lovren an elevator

      would destroy what little hope Siggy has of getting back on the radar

    4. Simon69

      I would certainly be interested if he had better in front of him.

    She looking good me thinks.

    McCarthy,
    TAA, Tierney, Vinagre, Justin
    Salah, Auba, Manè, Armstrong, Soucek
    Werner

    Steer, Dallas, Davis, 4.5

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Bit like mine. But I have two Spurs.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Ideally I’d like Spurs attack. Would need to drop Trent and/or Werner in order to do so. Or else the obvious cash save by dropping one of those mids!

    2. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Looks good.

      If Brewster moves it’s likely this will be the template.

      Although probably ASM over Armstrong. Saliba over Tierney also to free funds.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Personally, I prefer Armstrong to ASM quite easily actually! Will likely be wrong but I thought he looked great last season.

        If Saliba is starting in the community shield I may make the switch. I do however like the look of Tierney in my squad. I thought he finished last season strongly also.

    3. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Love it. Just got the magic big three in meself. Hell of a squeeze but doable.

      Managed Doherty over Tierney too. Love the flex, because it's inevitable we're using transfers after the blank

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Aye, I can do Doherty also and if Saliba is a sure starter I will make that change. Your team core below looks great.

  26. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Are peeps still benching MUN players?

    I do find that extraordinary.

    I won't be picking any, even Bruno, till I see how the dressing room(team spirit) is.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years

      Still very happy to since I can still field an exceptional 11 GW1

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Maguire in a Greek gaol?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          These days, if you say you’re English, you get locked up and thrown in gaol

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            I think that you may need to get out more.

            I am all for habeas corpus, but the Greek authorities would appear to have a wealth of evidence.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 1 day ago

              I am joking x I am beginning to falter on the idea a little if Maguire misses out because jokes aside he is quite an important transitional player. I just don’t really like that many players this year

              1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years

                Fair comment. I am thinking od you, really. 🙂

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Yes benching Greenwood as he looks great value and I don't want to waste a transfer (and potential hit) on getting him in.
      Very happy to give Soucek a start instead.

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Son to Greenwood in GW2 for my only United asset

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Obviously if Son hauls I may struggle

    4. Rogue Todd

      A home game against Crappy Palace should improve morale.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Palace is unlikely to be as crappy as you imagine.

  27. Dain Bramage

    goal keepers = de gea , Ryan
    defenders= Alexander-arnold,Doherty,Bernardo Fernandes , dunk,Williams
    midfielders= de Bruyne,ziyech,Soucek,rice,son
    forward = Kane,mitrović, ings

        Remembered the accented c in Mitrovic though

        100%

      Pretty solid...

  28. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    McCarthy - Steer
    TAA - KWP
    Auba - Bissouma
    Werner

    Absolutely locked in every single iteration

    Doherty nearly, Soucek nearly, Salah nearly. Vinagre in limbo

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I only have TAA and Auba.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Keen on double Southampton defense then?

      1. Ser Davos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Yes, not blindly convinced it'll do well, but considering potential, value and fix, I like both a lot. Was looking at the treble earlier but Ings can't be locked out.

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Interesting...plenty of 4.5 options to consider!

          1. Ser Davos
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Indeed, but none quite match what KWP offer's I think

            Lamptey and Lascelles are the two I'm starting to take most notice of most recently

            1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 1 day ago

              Yup! That’s the 2 I’ve gone with for now

              1. Ser Davos
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 1 day ago

                I like your general policy of playing 4.5s most weeks and not worrying about defensive rotation etc.

                Lascelles and Lamptey could be played most weeks I think

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I have been trying to build around a core of

      TAA
      Salah, Auba, Manè
      Werner

      Proving difficult enough

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Mane to Son

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          I do want spurs but not losing Manè unless Liverpool start poorly like last season ended.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Fair

    4. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      haven't seen too many with KWP. Don't think he's a great option, not sure about the cleansheets now Hojberg has left

      1. Ser Davos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Something to keep in mind

    5. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I like the way the 4.5 mids change like a trend in here - Same every year.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I think he's ahead of Gordon/Anguissa in our pecking order

    6. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      McCarthy
      TAA, Doherty
      Greenwood, Soucek
      Werner, Ings

      Those are my ones, basically the players who I think will outperform their prices.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Ings is a good shout, as is Jimenez

        Awkward price point for Greenwood. No one near him if it fails too (potential is obvious of course)

        1. Ser Davos
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          and Soucek overtakes/swaps with Mitrovic as the last, cheapest attacker

          1. Ser Davos
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Son is a placeholder for Bruno, but I do like Ings and/Jim

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Foden is nearby

        3. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Yeah, if Greenwood doesn't work out I'll be shifting value to defence, probably to get Laporte as he looks under priced this season.
          Ings was the second player in my team after TAA.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah, I'd love to get Laporte in now or though it'd be a massive headache

            I think you're right on Ings

            Just had another fiddle and Auba's made way for Son(+1.5 Bruno)

    What makes people Steer starts over Nyland all of a sudden??

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Nah, nyland will start

    2. Rogue Todd

      Something is driving it.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Likely to accelerate from here.

        1. Rogue Todd
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Think we better put the brakes on these puns - we are confusing people 😀

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Are you trying to indicate that towards the rest of us??

      2. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Nobody is saying what though. This is why it’s best to ignore the noise

    3. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Because Steer was second choice until injured last season. Nyland has done nothing to suggest that should change now Steer is fit again.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I’d rather wait for hard evidence in the shape of a friendly or two

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Well of course, but you asked why people thought Steer would start over Nyland and that's why.

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

    Is Rodrigo likely to come in as a midfield or forward option in fpl?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      His stats are not great when I checked earlier.
