Scoutcast Episode 354 – How can FPL bosses fit in Salah, De Bruyne and Fernandes?

Joe and Az are joined by Karam to look ahead to Gameweek 11 and assess the key challenges facing Fantasy Premier League managers.

Chief among their concerns is the postponement of Friday night’s clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle United. There is a chance that it could be rearranged within the Gameweek but if not, FPL managers face some tough choices. Should they bench or swap out the likes of Villa talisman Jack Grealish (£7.7m) or Newcastle striker Callum Wilson (£6.5m)?

Our Scoutcast trio also discuss the three most talked about players of the week: Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.2m), Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m). These midfield picks are showing remarkable consistency but with hefty price tags, it may be tricky to fit them all in. Can they be ‘covered’ by the likes of Reds midfielder Diogo Jota (£6.8m) and City winger Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m)?

Pep Guardiola’s latest round of roulette is also on the bill. This chat will be of particular interest to those clinging onto City rotation risks such as Raheem Sterling (£11.4m).

Meanwhile, Joe, Az and Karam give their top tips for climbing up the rankings ahead of Christmas. Within this section, Karam takes his turn to pick a differential, which garners approval from Joe and Az.

The usual features are also covered in the show, with next four fixtures frisked, rough with the smooths aired, and transfer and captaincy plans revealed.

    Any Sheffield fans think Burke will get another start? Or benched?

  2. OneDennisBergkamp

    Grealish was 7.1m when I got him, now 7.7m, no way he leaves my team with the fixtures ahead, even if he does have to sit on the bench for 1 gameweek (they may even be played still).

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

      yup gotta keep.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly the same position and agree fully

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep just benching him, great value

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

      Me too. Think I will do nothing a ride out the gw.

      1. hustler7
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Top of the ticker, mad to transfer out for 1GW.

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

      You get 7.4 by selling him.
      Probably buy him back at 7.6.

      .2 lost on team value
      Vs
      A chance to get 10 points

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        THIZZZZZZ why are people so obsessed with money and the value of a player. It's about POINTS

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

        also 1FT lost, which some look at as being worth 4pts, so its a very big gamble for 1GW i say

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

          infact 2FTs lost to bring him back again

  3. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A or B?

    A Podence -> Mahrez FT
    B Robbo/Podence -> Dallas/KDB - 4

    Martinez
    Chilwell Zouma Robbo
    Bruno Son Grealish Jota
    DCL Vardy Bamford

    Forster Podence Lamptey Mitchell

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If Robbo out then B

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

        Robbo should be ok

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  4. beetlejuice
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering WC or FreeHit having Martinez, Grealish, Mitchell, Cancelo and no other City players?
    I have 9 out of 10 (no Kane only) most owned players and kinda lost here.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      WC if you still have, Free Hit is a waste

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Pretty much this. You can get a team full of DGW players with FH later so no point using it to patch couple of holes this wweek.

    2. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering it with Konsa, Grealish, Mitchell, Holding, no city and no Pool.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I think I am - will come off for me in terms of points gain if City put Fulham to the sword with Jesus, Mahrez and KDB in the points

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Problem is what if Mahrez and Jesus are benched (which is entirely possible)? Heck I'm not even convinced KDB is guaranteed every week like before after reading that report that he asked to be rotated due to fatigue

    4. Vlad
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      similar situation but I have sterling.. i wont wc.. I'm thinking of dropping him to mahrez and upgrading bissouma to jota so i compensate for grealish absence

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I have good cover in Dallas and Soucek, but still FH

  5. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kane to Brewster, Reed to kdB for a -4?

    Will bench Grealish and have Cancelo.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not something that sounds amazing

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No way

  6. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son/Grealish > KDB/Mahrez (-4)? Not losing any significant value in Grealish, and would likely get him back in GW13.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Get Both YOLO :O

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You know Son has Arsenal next, right?

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I know Arsenal are crap, but fully expect that match to be a cagey affair like the Chelsea game. I will captain KDB, and Son is my only way of getting him.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Plenty of upside, but shame to lose Son against dreadful Arsenal

    4. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Losing grealish for Mahrez doesnt seem right. Sure grealish misses this week and mahrez probably plays, but easily it will be the other way around the next week with a mahrez benching and then grealish is back. Plus grealish will then have a double double up his sleeve. Not against Son>kdb however but if youre upgrading both seems like you must have funds to just do son > kdb

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Am intending to do Mahrez > Jota next GW to give me Pool cover for Fulham, then back to Grealish in 13. I don't fancy Villa away to Wolves, and will already have Watkins & Martinez for it.

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best move here?

    A. Martinez > Mendy (forget about the Villa dgw)
    B. Steer > Johnstone/Meslier/Mccarthy

    Keen to take a hit for a playing gk as it frees up a Villa spot for me to get Grealish later.

    Martinez Steer
    Chilwell Konsa Coufal Kilman Mitchell
    KDB Bruno Son Jota Anguissa
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    0 FT 1.9 Itb.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Then lose Steer

    2. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B) McCarthy

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Feel that Johnstone rotates best with Martinez but Meslier plays for a better team

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      a

    4. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering B with McCarthy.

      Good win for Kohli today, btw!

  8. Baby Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Benching Grealish and playing Soucek is perfectly viable right?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sho nuff

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely, that's the whole point of having Soucek as a 5th mid

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

      Yeah, West ham usually do well against man utd

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Lovely option to have exactly why Soucek is such a valuable 8th attacker

    5. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      1. Baby Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all x

    6. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Ive been playing soucek last 3-4 gws, great cover for all sorts of issues and always in the box

  9. Fulchester's New Centr…
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    No hits so far this year but looks like it will be maybe one this week and definitely one week next now.
    Do I deserve it for my good behaviour so far?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sure. I'll grant you -12 buddy

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Treat yo'self

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks boys

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

      Nope, since your team isn't linked, and we can't verify that 😉

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Oops. Forgot it was still on Fire In The Blood collectors set

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Fixed now

    5. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      As always, depends on the hit

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Next week's plan was:
        A. DCL & Son to Mo and Adams or Welbz; or
        B. Kane and Son to Mo and anybody mid-price

        for free.

        Now need Bailey Peacock to play again and for Cancelo to play or Brewster to do something this week for that to work.

  10. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    10 players it is. Martinez i keep u.

    1. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not considering McCarthy?

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

        I am but the dgws are changing my mind. Plus Burnley westbrom coming up too. I can't decide

        1. Baby Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I can sell Martinez for 4.6, current value is 4.8 so only need to find 0.2 (maybe 0.1) to get him back

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

            Yeah but u have FT. Im already using mine to do Cancelo to James. If it was free I'd do it too.

            1. Baby Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I see, in that case makes complete sense

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

          Oh when have the doubles been confirmed for?

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

            They haven't. But now there will be 2 so I'm probably keeping

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

              Ah ok what if they are like gw34 and gw37? You’d keep until then? May as well ship in a load of Man U as they have a double at some point as well 😀

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

                Its not just that. The upcoming few fixtures for Martinez are the best for clean sheets. If i get someone like mccarthy and he doesn't keep clean sheet i lose 2 points in the hit so in the end not worth it. Even if it works out I'll only be 2 or 3 points better off.

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

                  Yea fair enuf I’m only messing 😛

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's a completely legitimate option, yet people treat it with horror for some reason. Maybe because it makes you look like you hadn't planned ahead, but clearly others are in the same boat, and taking hits can just make the problem worse.

  11. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Team currently is:

    McCarthy
    Chilwell - Justin - KWP
    Bruno - Son - JRod - Pereira
    Vardy - Werner - DCL

    Peacock-Farrell, Dallas, Mitchell, Grealish

    I’m thinking of doing JRod, Vardy > KDB, Bamford with 2FTs. I see it as the only viable way of getting KDB in this week. Any other suggestions?

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd rather lose Werner than Vardy.

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I like it, take it u don’t have spare change for Cavani instead of Bamford?

  12. Avo24
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    what is your plan for Martinez?
    switch to 4.5 GK like Leeds GK or without GK for GW 11?
    for Grealish I think 100% I will keep him

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Got Mendy, keeping for the rest of the season probably.

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

      I wanted to keep Martinez but I need 0.1 to afford Sterling to KDB. Sterling seems to be out of favor so it has to be done. Meslier in.

  13. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best Defender to get within 5.8 M
    For long term if u have
    Lamptey - Reguilón - Chilwell - Semedo & Dunne
    *Semedo out for him

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

      James?

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Reece James if you fancy the double up.

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

      Dias

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Quite an expensive defence, so I'd save the cash and go for Lewis (if you can bench him this week) or Dallas.

  14. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Soucek to JWP for (-4) ??

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      no

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just play Soucek.

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

      no

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No, play soucek

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

      No

    6. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      what on earth

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

      Nope

  15. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mendy (Forster)
    Chilwell Lamptey Coufal (Lewis Mitchell)
    Salah Son Jota Foden (Anguissa)
    Vardy Kane DCL

    1FT £0.5m

    Foden out feels like the priority. I'd like KDB, but the fact he's only scored one goal all season means I'm tempted to just let him be this week.

    a) Save
    b) Foden + Kane > KDB (c) + Adams (-4)
    c) Mitchell > Dallas (improves bench and after this week Leeds have a nice run of fixtures)
    d) Anything else?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You are one of the chosen few, just Mitch to Dallas'll do

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          None of the expensive defenders tempt me particularly so having Chilwell plus 4 rotating £4.5m options feels a better strategy. I really want to avoid having any non-playing options over xmas/covid period.

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

    What to actually do?
    1FT 0 ITB

    Foster
    Lamptey Chilwell Fofana
    Mitchell/Burke Bruno (S)terling Bowen
    DCL Kane Vardy

    Martinez,Mitchell/Burke,Targett,Grealish.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Foster of Watford?
      Looks bad - Burke to a nailed 4.5?

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What are you considering? Personally, I'd probably save the FT or maybe switch Martinez to Meslier.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      How do you have 4 strikers? (Burke)

      1. Baby Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Burke is midfielder on fpl

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          My bad.

  17. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan
    James, Vestergaard, Chilwell
    Son, Salah, Bruno, Jota
    Adams, Vardy, Bamford

    Bench: Martinez*, Grealish*, Mitchell, Kilman

    Good to go?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      G2G

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Yeah I will have to go without any city players. Fulham looked better against Leicester so maybe they will do okay against city.

      No you put it that way, no brainer really.
      Thanks Sanchit.

      Yeah agree. He's been rubbish.

    3. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Taking him out for a -2 doesn't look so bad when you put it like that.

      Some of us "plebs" warned about it at the time.... but you cant do much against solidified group mentality

    Lads WATKINS to Wellbeck ?

    Meslier
    James Nwilliams Chillwel
    (/Balbuena Mitchl*)
    Sterling Kdb Torres Bruno. Jack**
    Vardy Mcburnie. :. Watkins**

    Thoughts appreciated

      Christ that front line, and you want to add welbeck lol?
      How about Adams?
      No offence but there’s 9 team drafts with a better front line

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ilol know but I'm chasing the first OR and need some differential
        Welbz has nice fixtures and Vardy will go to Bamford/Watkins later

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years

          I can’t endorse welbeck 😀

        It's just sterling no show will make it worse if only I'm sure he plays but pep roulette is savage

        1. JabariParkersEyelid
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You say that Pep roulette is savage but you've got 3 city players in your team...

          You can't lose if you don't play. I'm not touching city players personally.

    I plan to keep the free transfer, have 2 free transfers for the 12th gameweek and make a mini wild card (2-3 transfers). I'd love to finally see Salah on my team.

    McCarthy, Nyland
    chilwell, Konsa, Taylor, Justin, Tierney
    KDB, Son, Bruno, Jota, Bissouma
    Kane, DCL, Bamford
    (0.5M in the bank)

    Any ideas? Best defenders from 12gw? Maybe DCL to Antonio?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dallas
      Antonio if he looks sharp against Utd

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

    Does that look sensible?

    2 FT, 1.0 itb

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Dias, Cancelo, Webster
    KDB, Fernandes, Ziyech, Riedewald
    Vardy, DCL

    Forster, Kilman, Grealish, Watkins

    GW11
    Cancelo, Riedewald -> N. Williams, Jota

    GW12
    Ziyech, Vardy -> Salah, Brewster

    1.7 left

      • 3 Years

      Why are you getting n.williams? Trent back soon, and potentially he will block a future liverpool slot. If its just for dead bench fodder pick another random 3.9m def.

      Otherwise look like sound plans

  22. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I think I’ll decide on Martinez on sat itself. Wait for news. No point pondering over it now until more news are out

    1. have you seen cyan

      Is the deadline now Saturday or is it still Friday?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…

        Moved to Saturday

          Interesting thanks

  23. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    Imagine FHing with KDB mahrez and Jesus vs Fulham, triple up Che vs Leeds, Bruno Jota..

    Definitely doing it.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tripling up v Leeds. Good luck with that.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Thanks

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

      And then jota, mahrez, Jesus get rotated, Leeds do a masterclass and your original team score 10 more points than your FH team..

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        We'll see. At least I'm not afraid to try it, plus keeping my 3 villa and getting my Kane and Son back vs palace.

    3. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      imagine not having a FH when dgw and blanks coming later in the season

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yep could spell disaster.

        Willing to take the risk, for the fun of it

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Effed up my DGWs, free hits at the fag end of last year. Absolutely tanked my OR.

  24. built_this_city
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    hi lords and ladies, please can i get some advice -

    Mendy, Button
    Dias, Justin, Mitchell, Taylor, Konsa
    KDB, Rodriguez, Son, Fernandes, Mendy
    Kane, DCL, Bamford
    0.1 in the bank.

    I was all set to do Rodriguez to Grealish but as the game is off - i think i will save the FT.

    Good idea?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wait till we know when the game is rescheduled. May still be in the same gwk.

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        well absolutely

  25. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will you do rashford > Mahrez(C) for a hit ?

    1. built_this_city
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      nah, chasing last weeks points

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

      Why would it be for a hit. When rashford is 9.5 and mahrez is 8.3. If for no hit then maybe - dont rate mahrez though. But for a hit, no - makes no sense

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Fulham have had a bit more about them in the last two. City may not roll over them that easy.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Even Fulham with their tails up are exactly the kind of team that City could batter in their sleep

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

      Never under estimate someone or something that has nothing to lose.
      A team like Fulham really couldn’t do much worse then they have been, they either maintain their level or get better.
      I don’t like betting against whipping boys with the armband (sometimes I do, but not always, it’s gone wrong many times in my experience)

    3. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This is true, Fulham have looked better. But I dont think the matchup favours them with City. Fulham did well against Leicester because Leicester couldnt penetrate through the middle, maddison is no KDB, and had incredibly poor full backs so there was no width. Fulham were then also quite good on the ball and managed to play out from the back and into good positions. Was very impressive to be honest, but City are just not the team for them I dont think. City have fantastic full backs with proper width, and then they have KDB to open it up through the middle. And then they will never get outplayed on the ball by Fulham so its going to need to be some GK heroics to save Fulham really.

        Excellent synopsis.thanks

  27. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How does this 11 look for this week

    Martinez
    Bellerin Cancelo Justin Taylor
    Bruno Son KdB Barnes
    DCL Werner

    Ayling, Brewster on the bench

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Unlikely to be XI is the problem

      1. BEEZUS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cancelo the big question mark - Ayling can cover for him. Riding the wave with Martinez. Saves me from a FH or a WC

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

      Very nice. Have you got a FT to sort Martinez? I'm considering a -4 to upgrade Steer to sort my Martinez issue.

      1. BEEZUS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Unfortunately not - that team above is with a -4 as I don't currently have KdB atm. Risky but dont want to go into this GW with no attacking City cover so think the -4 is worth it

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

          Yes, I'm thinking the same. -4 on the keeper and either Grealish to Mahrez or Salah to KdB

  28. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best transfer for cancelo —> ?

    Other 4 are cresswell chilwell coufal Mitchell

    I have 3 Chelsea so James not an option

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dallas

  29. true_Jerry
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    On a Wildcard, would you rather

    Mendy/Robbo/Jota or Chillwell/Dias/Mahrez

    both would have James so 2nd one would be Chelsea def double up

  30. built_this_city

    Hope James Rodriguez keeps his current price until Saturday
