Scout Notes

A return to form for Man United’s FPL assets or a papering over cracks?

Newcastle United 1-4 Manchester United

  • Goals: Luke Shaw (£4.9m) own goal | Harry Maguire (£5.4m), Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m), Marcus Rashford (£9.5m)
  • Assists: Juan Mata (£5.9m), Fernandes, Rashford x2
  • Bonus: Fernandes x3 Rashford x2 Karl Darlow (£5.0m) x1

Manchester United began the long climb back to credibility with a deserved, if not entirely convincing, win over Newcastle.

The game was a surprisingly entertaining affair considering visiting manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could have set up his side simply to avoid another 6-1 Spursageddon, while his opposite number, Steve Bruce, has ‘stay in the game and try and nick a goal’ spliced into his footballing DNA.

Even so, most of the goals came late, with the visitors only taking the lead in the 86th minute of a match they dominated in terms of attempts (28 v 7) while never completely negating Newcastle’s own attacking threat.

But the 4-1 victory did involve decent returns for all three of the winning side’s most popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets and included more reminders that owning Red Devils defenders is, currently, a foolish enterprise.

Fernandes To The Fore

By far the most-owned FPL star on the pitch was Man United’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), and his 21% ownership walked away with a tidy 11-point haul that could have been so much better.

The midfielder finished off a superb team move to make the score 2-1, finding the net from an acute angle courtesy of a Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) assist.

That made it three goals in as many Gameweeks for Fernandes, but he also missed his first penalty in England (at the 11th attempt) thanks to a save from the brilliant Karl Darlow (£5.0m) and was denied an earlier goal via VAR.

Some of that pain was offset by an assist for Rashford’s last-gasp goal and the maximum bonus award and his 31 points for the season, from just four matches, puts him in the top 10 for FPL midfielders. Of the United players, only Rashford comes close to such a lofty position, which underlines how vital Fernandes is to the side.

Even with Chelsea and Arsenal up next, more FPL managers are slowly coming round to buying him in – he’s currently just inside the top 15 for Gameweek 6 purchases – as he continues to show last year’s explosive entrance into English football was not a fluke.

Rashford Revival

.

Solskjaer made five changes from the side thrashed by Spurs, among them the benching of Paul Pogba (£7.9m) and Daniel James (£6.4m) being handed a rare start.

But the key decision involved who would replace Anthony Martial (£8.8m), suspended for three matches after his dismissal against Tottenham, up front.

One candidate, Mason Greenwood (£7.3m), didn’t even make the squad, an omission the manager explained post-match.

Mason wasn’t fit to play, so we had to leave him out. We hope he will recover quickly.

That meant Rashford, an FPL midfielder this season, stepped up. And he delivered.

A goal, two assists – he also set up Aaron Wan-Bissaka‘s (£5.4m) first-ever senior strike – and two bonus points helped him to a double-digit haul enjoyed by just 5.8% of FPL bosses.

The fact that only two of his team-mates – Fernandes and Wan-Bissaka – are owned by more managers shows just how little Fantasy faith Solskjaer’s side is inspiring.

The team’s defensive frailties are plain to see, but so is their attacking intent – their 57 attempts this season is not far behind the likes of Everton (64) and Chelsea (65), only from four games, not five.

Cracks, Meet Paper

Wan-Bissaka’s surprise goal helped hand his owners a very welcome eight points, while Harry Maguire (£5.4m) ended a trying week or ten with the same haul thanks to his equaliser, from a Juan Mata (£5.9m) corner, in the first half.

Solskjaer made all the right post-match noises about Maguire’s character, while his Wan-Bissaka comments played up the full-back’s attacking threat.

It was a cross! No, he was due his goal. We wanted him higher up the pitch, making runs in behind. It was great for him.

But anyone seriously thinking of buying into United’s defence should think again.

The backline is currently shipping three goals a game on average and even managed to make Newcastle’s toothless attack look threatening.

The Magpies went into the match having had only eight shots on target across their first four games. They had four against Man United and it took a couple of great saves from David de Gea (£5.5m) to deny Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m) and then Callum Wilson (£6.5m).

Yes, the goal the visitors did concede – after just two minutes – was unlucky, Luke Shaw (£4.9m) deflecting an Emil Krafth (£4.4m) cross over de Gea and in.

But a side allowing 14 big chances this season – for context, Newcastle have conceded eight from a game more – clearly lacks balance, whatever Solskjaer might have claimed following Saturday’s win.

We have so many games coming up and you pick a team that you think is going to get a result in that game. You look at the opposition and you look at yourself and what is the best balance and I thought we found the right one today.

Darlow Blow

Fernandes and Rashford took most of the plaudits (and bonus), but the true hero on Tyneside was home keeper Darlow, who produced a string of fine saves as well as that penalty stop.

A single bonus award meant he limped off with eight points and a knock picked up following a clash with Rashford.

One clean sheet, a penalty save and 27 other stops this season – no keeper has made more – has taken him to the top of FPL’s scoring chart for goalkeepers.

But boss Bruce is not entirely sure he’ll be back for a Gameweek 6 trip to Wolves.

He’s taken a hell of a blow. We hope that he’s not too bad, but it’s one of those difficult ones to assess straight away. Until we see the scans and how he is, then we won’t really know, but it’s fair to say that he’s very sore.

Martin Dubravka (£4.9m) is possibly out until December with a heel issue, meaning Newcastle could be down to the bare bones in goal, with Mark Gillespie (£4.5m) the next in line for a start.

Not that any Magpies goalkeeper is likely to be the choice of many FPL managers – no team has allowed more shots (86) or attempts on target (36) than Bruce’s men.


Newcastle United XI (4-5-1): Darlow; Krafth, Fernandez, Lascelles, Lewis; Hayden (Schar 49′), Shelvey, Hendrick (Almiron 88′), Saint-Maximin, Joelinton (Fraser 73′); Wilson. 

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred (Pogba 69′), Mata (Matic 90′); Bruno Fernandes, James (van de Beek 76′), Rashford.

    Am I only one that not transferring Jimenez to Kane? 🙂
    This transfer will backfire 101% !

      The kool kids have both Kane & Jimi (& DCL) saying that this does cost you a Bruno type mid.

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        KDB and Barnes got to go. Really not sure what to do! Kane could murder me over the next 3

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KdB to Bruno

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        don't think Kane could keep this up for next 3 games?

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I do, just thinking for you if it’s worth a hit

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’d do them moves

  3. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hoping Wolves turn up tomorrow, last chance for Jimenez and Saiss.

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I desperately need big points for Semedo and Jimi+

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I think they will be up for it, Nuno will demand a huge reaction.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Leeds are not push overs though, they will give them a game and a half.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will keep Saiss but Jimenez will have to go if he does nothing.

    3. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cs win with Semedo goal

  4. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Next GW tough decision who is the captain.

    Kane or Salah?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      salah 100% for me

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Or DCL, Hamez or Son?

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah for me

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane’s form is just great. Salah home to Sheffield Utd who are not the team of last season. Very tough but I’m with form over fixture. Kane (c) for me.

  5. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you save FT? 0.3ITB

    Martinez
    TAA | Dallas | Lamptey
    Salah | Bruno | Son | Rodriguez | Soucek
    Kane | DCL

    Steer | Mitchell | Davis | Buur

    One option is Soucek to Jorginho

    Thanks

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great team Save

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      awesome team. soucek to jorg would be a decentish move but i would save to be honest. gl+

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, given United away for Chelsea next I think I will (price changes permitting)

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would you rather have Jorginho over Soucek?

      1. Monklane
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        nope

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Tough one, gives me the extra penalty cover but on the flip side he probably isn’t as nailed and certainly doesn’t have as much open play goal threat

    4. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Aim for Barkley not Jorginho. I'd do it by downgrading TAA

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting, thanks I have heard he’s very far forward so could be an option for sure. If I’m losing TAA though it’s almost certainly going to Robbo

    5. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Very nice team

      You must be really high in the ranks - see my post on the last page trying to predict the longterm best 11 for the season as a set and forget. You have a number of the longterm candidates

      I think you are set up very well

      After this week (when you get 2 frees) i would move TAA + Bruno + Davis to something like chilwell + Pulisic + Werner

      Chelsea have nice attacking fixtures and you could really take advantage of that as Bruno + Taa will face alot of tough fixtures versus top 6.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for this feedback, it’s well planned and thought out for my team dynamic, no Chelsea is certainly a slight concern and the fact City haven’t fired yet has really helped me this season so far.
        I think a save is wise, thanks again

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sterling. Apart from the goal didnt see much. City looking for form, last game cancelo and bilva as center mids

  7. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    According to the Guardian, no retrospective action will be taken against Sergio Agüero for putting his hand on Sian Massey-Ellis' shoulder during Man City vs Arsenal.
    Wait what?? No ban for the potential shoulder dislodging attempt??

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

      Don't think he will start. If Nuno is smart then he will start Traore and Jimenez up front in a 3-5-2. Use the ball over the top to nullify Leeds' pressing. Leeds will be caught short provided the extra man in midfield has the energy to get up and down.

  9. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Taa Justin Dier Kwp Mitchell
    Salah Son James Podence Soucek

    B) something else to get Kane

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      4.4 fwd + TAA > Kane + a defender that will get you more points

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep that is an option. However rival ditched TAA before Leicester haul last year sonI remember that too well and against Sheffield
        next week it could be the same even wo VVD.

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      In A, Adams could be Maupay or Bamford etc

  10. Pep Roulette

    Barnes & Podence to Foden & Barkley for -4?

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Barkley yes
      Foden...not sure (foden owner)

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years

        As a Foden owner also, what’s your issue with him?

        1. rjcv177
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          City scrambling.
          Last game he played leftwinger but far away from the box.
          With kdb he plays side him but also not dangerous.
          Yesterday they played a strange fornation (Walker and cancelo together, but mahrez was the one close to the right line)

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks for the insight

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years

      Foden got chances but poor finishing might cost him his place for next game.

    Harvey to Grealish or Barkley?

    Martinez
    Saiss, Justin, lamptey
    Salah C, Son, Harvey, foden
    Kane, Jim, dcl

    Anguissa, Mitchell, vinagre 🙁

    1. Pep Roulette

      Ross

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish. Barkley will do well but can be a fraud.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        A huge FRAUD. Ask some who owned him last 2 seasons. 😀

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      The Messiah.

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Original plan for KDB is to get Mane for double with Salah for SHU WHU at home the next two. But Kane Son telepathic performance makes me (over) thinking. Already have got Son, should I Kane or should I Mane?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      same dilemma Magic.
      It worries me Kane has the chance of going big where as Mane can just get 7 or 8 points am torn what to do

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Meh so does Mane.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, psychologically want to be differential with Salah Mane double up. But as you said Son Kane combo is explosive at this point with three good fixtures! And cheaper!

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Mane is appealing even more with VVD out could mean Pool conceded a bit more and have to score more I guess but Kane gives a different captain option to Salah

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            You don't need it. Son will be your Spurs captain.

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ta!

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mane.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Here we go ... Mane Watkins v Kane Grealish though?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane/Kun Grealish

        2. Hint
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane Grealish

    4. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would choose mane.
      Proven combo. Better team. Consistent attacking wise.

      With vvd out, they'll want to score loads of goal

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ta! Headache continues ...

    5. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Go Mane,you will need KDB.
      Think Pool will improve attack more now with weaker defense.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

    6. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Go for Kane, don't think Mane and Salah currently work as well together together for goals/assists as the Spurs duo do.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

      1. wantsharptv
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

  14. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Next gw captaincy between Salah and Kane is a headache but I think I will go for Kane if he gets Thursday night rest

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same headache

  15. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah or Kane captain next week?

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah for me.

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Any reason why?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Even Fulham were able to get through that Sheffield Utd defence multiple times. Salah will have a field day

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah

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

      On Salah atm

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah

    5. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah. Not sure the Burnley defence will keep being so poor.

    6. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      has to be salah ,sheff appear to have emerged at their correct level given the ordinary bunch they are..

    7. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      OK nice and decisive, thanks guys

  16. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wilson to Kane for free? Would leave me with:

    McCarthy
    TAA, Saiss, Justin, Ayling
    Bruno, Son, Salah, Grealish
    Kane, DCL

  17. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Jiminez -> Kane (442)
    B) Wickham -> DCL (343)

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Check Jim tomorrow. As owner very frustrated wolves team attack

  18. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It’s a tough world this year. You just can’t have ‘em all.

  19. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    are these good moves all?

    This week= Wood and VVD ➡️ Cahill (4.5) and Kun -4.
    Following week Maupay ➡️ DCL

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not keen on Aguero atm

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Really??

        West Ham and Sheffield next!

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I could be wrong but he didn't look great vs Arsenal, city don't look great and he only gets 60 minutes

        2. rjcv177
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          He was so rusty.
          Ask lateriser if he feels confident. If says Yah...go for it (he has a Magic conection with kun and his hauls)

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am.going for kun on WC.

  20. timawflowers

    Foden to barkley, FT?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely not imo. Foden is still very promising. I'm very reluctant to get rid.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Are u sure? Will he even play? I own him and he most probably goes out of my team.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. He will play. I still think he could be one of the steals of the season. He's started all 4 of City's last few matches as part of the front 3 and he's 6.6m.

          1. Rinseboy
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            yes this. I regret getting rid actually.

            Think Im gonna do KDB and Barnes to Mane and Foden. Gut feeling Foden does well next 2 games

          2. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks. Did not watch the full game yesterday, did he do well?

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would

  21. Jordan.

    meeting jiminez in the morning,he will be told he may have to make way for sir harry of kane as funds are available ,it shall also be pointed out one goal and 9 points may not suffice,sleep tight jimi....

  22. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Instead of Martinez, Reguilon, Zaha I went with Ryan, Aurier and Grealish on my WC. Got 72 but could have hit 90 if I was smarter..

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

    A) Grealish
    B) Zaha
    C) Rodriguez-4

    As Barnes replacement?

    Martinez
    TAA, Robertson, Castagne
    Salah, Son, Barnes, Trossard, Pereira
    Kane, Dcl

    Forster, Brewster, Amartey, Ferguson 1ft .3itb

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish.

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Are you still intending to win the whole thing as per your comment on the eve of the big kick-off?

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          The winner of this game is somebody currently in the top 1k.

          Everyone else is playing for a different position. Its always been thus for every year.

          This years winner has had from day 1 /Week 2 ( bookmark this for the end of the season to see)
          Something very close or a close variant of :

          Martinez
          Saiss Robbo Villa defender
          Salah Hamez Son
          Kane DCL

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It was an ambition/hope lol. Not gonna win it this year, I'm way too far behind. But I'll give it my best shot!

          Every serious FPL manager should think before the season that they can win it.

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      A

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Barkley?

  24. Dosh
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez TAA --> Kane Lamptey tonight before price changes?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Price changes for them tonight?!?

      1. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Jimenez and TAA could drop in price

  25. Party time
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just brought in Hakim Ziyech.

      Let’s start the bandwagon

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It's easy for the sake of the name-sake.

      2. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Lol !

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ok, TAA can drop. Wouldn't like to sell him now.

    • FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Things i did not consider would be on mind my 48 hours ago

      1. Selling TAA for a hit
      2. Selling Sterling to get another Spurs attacker.

      Kane is killing my rank.

      Prior to each Spurs game ive been overall 30k at week 2, and 30k at week 4 , now 320k in week 5 with 3 to go

    • Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Man City's last 6 visits away Vs West Ham:
      Conceded: 1
      Scored: 25

      Chose Salah over Sterling due to lower risk but if I had Raz I'd captain him

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, City will bounce back big I reckon.

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

        Aguero hatter confirmed

      3. Ninjaa
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy to Aguero for free????

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Why not? Kun scores in derbies too

    • DMP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Toughts about Mitrovic? Easy sell or hold for next 3?

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Depends who you're getting in for him. He looks boring and sluggish but could get the occasional goal.

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

          Kane.

          Mitrovic+B.Davies+TAA to Kane+Targett+Robbo (-8)

          Toughts?

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

            Alternativas are Jimmy to Kane or Jimmy to Kane and Davies to Target(-4).

    • RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How was Watkins tonight?

      1. Riverside Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just OK in my opinion

      2. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Poor performance imo

    • THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Who needs to go first? Reece James or Harvey Barnes?

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James imo

      2. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James.
