A match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Southampton looks like a fairly low-key end to Gameweek 11 on paper but there is still plenty of interest in this fixture from a Fantasy perspective.

The second most-popular goalkeeper in Fantasy Premier League, Alex McCarthy (£4.6m), starts between the posts for the visitors, while five other players with double-digit FPL ownerships also feature in tonight’s clash on the south coast.

Kick-off at the Amex is at 20:00 GMT.

The team news is fairly straightforward, with only one change between the two clubs from the line-ups we saw in Gameweek 10.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.8m) is back from a one-match ban and replaces forward Neal Maupay (£6.2m), who has recovered from a minor injury but finds himself among the substitutes.

It’s hardly a like-for-like swap and it’ll necessitate a reshuffle from Graham Potter, with Joel Veltman (£4.3m) moving to centre-half and Ben White (£4.4m) pushed into midfield.

Despite tasting defeat against Manchester United last weekend, Ralph Hasenhuttl sticks with the same Southampton side that began that 3-2 loss at St Mary’s.

There are a few notable returnees among the Saints substitutes, with Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) and Mohamed Salisu (£4.3m) available after fitness issues and making the matchday squad.

The headline news is the inclusion of Danny Ings (£8.3m) on the visitors’ bench, with the England international making a playing comeback after a month on the sidelines.

Hasenhuttl said of Ings ahead of kick-off:

Definitely [could get minutes], yes. Could also be a possibility from the beginning but I don’t like to start with players when I know I have to sub them, it limits me in the options I have.

He can always jump in and help us, it’s always good when you have players like him and Reddy on the bench.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Lamptey, White, Bissouma, March, Groß, Connolly, Welbeck.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Djenepo, Walcott, Adams.

    Best way to get Salah here? 1FT. 0.1itb

    Jota/Vardy -> Salah/Brewster?

    Would leave me with....

    Martinez
    Chilwell Zouma Dallas
    Salah Bruno KDB Son Grealish

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

      Don’t like it, no obvious way to get him

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

        Maybe next week, of if we get leaked pool line up this week before deadline saying Jota is benched.

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers, Yeah true but deadline Fri and pool play Sunday so very unlikely to get a lineup.

          Might just need to get a bigger sofa.

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

            Yea I don’t think we will get it on friday either, can’t shake the feeling Jota out scores Salah this week lol. I’m probably wrong though and will be giving Salah arm band myself over jota

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

    is getting TAA in a good idea here? 3.9 itb,1ft.
    Lamptey>TAA

    Current team is
    Fab
    Kwp- James - Chilwell (Lamptey*, Ferguson)
    Salah - Son - Jota - Son (Bissouma)
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    I could use that money instead to try get Bruno, but even then it would need to be for Jota, and even then I’m at least 0.2 short so would still have to sell Lamptey or something to fund it.
    No KDB or Bruno are issues, but no easy way to get either.

    1. Villa Velour
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jota -> Bruno ?

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

        thanks, seems the wise move

  4. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DCL owners, are you keeping now his fixtures are more difficult?

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

      Keeping until his ownership plummets, his form plummets or gets injured. I won’t guess when, if he blanks two on the trot then maybe then.

    2. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      was all set to transfer out this week, but now wavering.
      his ownership is so high, and can see him tick over

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking about it. But unlikely. Just doesn't make sense for my team at the moment.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Clarification: "Thinking about it" = getting rid

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Seriously considering it.

    5. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping.

      He will (and has so far) tick away

    6. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I suppose the only tough game in the next 4 is Chelsea really. Neither Leicester or arsenal can defend.

  5. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sell for Salah

    A) Grealish

    B) Son

    1. The Alli Way
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Neither.. grealish if you have to

  6. Ginola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I want to bring in Salah and Bamford, both could rise tonight. I’m really tempted to do it now and catch the .2. Would you do it now or wait until Friday?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford rising?

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        in a few days

        Salah prob tonight

    2. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Depends if you will get priced out or not

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

      I’m waitin for Newcastle news. Leeds play Newcastle on 16th Dec (midweek) so if West Brom gets called off then there’s a big risk on that Leeds game too.

      1. All about the galacticos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        there's no way they'll call off all those games. the prem league is a business, not a sunday league.
        They'll force them to play with 2nds or youth team, and if that is the case, Bamford vs youth team i'm up for that.

  7. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who to ditch out for ings?
    a) Vardy
    b) Werner
    c) Richarlison

    im thinking of werner or vardy to get some cash.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm ditching vardy after Brighton

    2. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      c

  8. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy and Ziyech to Bamford and Salah -4 , really hate having to lose Vardy

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good if captaining Salah.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah Salah will be (c)

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I did similar with Kane

      Needs to be done

    3. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      probably my move in next few mins before deadline, its' going to be a common move, can see both salah and brewster going up this week.
      After last 2 weeks, I won't be trusting captaining Vardy, so i don't feel need to hold

  9. The Alli Way
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez (Steer)
    Dias Zouma Taylor (Dunne (Mitchell))
    KDB Bruno Son Ziyech (Bissouma)
    Kane (C) DCL Watkins

    A) Ziyech > Jota
    B) Ziyech > Salah & Kane > Bamford (-4)
    C) KDB > Salah
    D) Son > Salah & Ziyech > Neto/Podence (-4)

    Thanks!

    1. Dynamic Duos

      B

    2. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A without a doubt

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. MikeS
      • 11 Years

      A

  10. Sloane426
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane + Jota > Bamford + Salah -4?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      As above, looks good if captaining Salah.

  11. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Repost due to lack of response

    Best defender out of the following for gameweeks 12 to 15-

    A. Lewis (WBA, lee, FUL, mci)
    B. Taylor (ars, avl, WOL, lee)
    C. Alioski/Cooper (WHU, NEW, mun, BUR)
    D. Balbuena (lee, CRY, che, BHA)
    E. White/Webster (lei, ful, SHU, whu)

    1. momomaimai
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lewis ..WBA and Fulham + possible DGW

  12. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So... TAA or Robertson?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not real keen on either tbh but would go for Robbo if I was.

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm before TAA injury, Robertson was performing better

      I'd give Trent one more week to see

      Either is fine now they're basically the same price

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This. Prolly go for TAA my self. Got Robbo now, so no point in switching around.

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

      I'd go TAA, gonly dead teams have him, nice diff. Plus I think he maybe goes wild vs Fulham and then no one can afford him.
      Im punting on him, ill leave it til Friday tho, dont expect he starts mid week

    4. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      im thinking robertson. higher chance to get attacking point

    5. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Trent more fun to own.
      Looked good when he came on last time out. Would have had assist within 5 mins of coming on had it not been offside.

      1. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Also ass on the OG if Mane was able to get it..

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will do Ziyech > Salah(c). But means a hit. Who's the other transfer?

    1) DCL > Brewster (-4)
    2) Vardy > Watkins (-4)
    3) Vardy > Welbeck (-4) -- weird to include him, but form and decent fixtures
    3) Vardy > Wilson (-4) -- Newcastle still too risky?

    McCarthy, Forster
    Chilwell, Lamptey, KWP, Targett, Kilman
    KDB, Bruno, *Ziyech*, Grealish, Soucek
    *Vardy*, *DCL*, Bamford

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      2..

  14. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    If you were ranked 2.8m, would you just throw in the towel? Is there literally any hope from that rank?
    I’m determined to plod on now I have a great team set up, but just wondered what people’s thoughts are.
    Cheers.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Long way to go , still able to have a good season

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hope so man, but think I can wave goodbye to ML, trailing by over 100pts already 🙁

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I was 100pts behind in my ml last season with 5 gwks left and I won it

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            That’s incredible! I never seem to have any luck, not that much anyway 🙂
            This week I learnt a valuable lesson. Always captain those with some reliability, and not take stupid decisions to captain people like Mahrez

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah and don't try to concentrate on getting differentials, not losing more ground is as good as gaining ground. Sterling smashed for in last 4 gwks I (c) him 3 times and no esle cottoned on to him

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keep fighting. Set your self a new goal: Top 200k.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers bud, if I got 200k I’d be thrilled! My original team that I kept my history going with however is killing it, but that’s not entered in any of my ML’s. It’s a team I’ve hardly cared about and is soaring, typical aint it.
        Happy with my main team though I’m focusing on, need to trust in it

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          You got more than one team? 😮

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I kept my original team going, but entered a new one into my ML’s, not sure why I did it, but the one I’ve kept with all my old history is murdering it! Got like 90 pts this GW.

    3. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You could still finish top 100k without a doubt.

      Top tip: avoid taking unnecessary hits and trust your instinct.

      All the best. 🙂

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah hits won’t be taken too much of now I have a team I’m happy with, it took some sorting out. Cheers Vazza

    4. Agger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Chips in hand, you could still get a respectable rank

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Just triple cap and bench boost now I’m afraid, but shall keep trying.

        1. Agger
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Things do change quickly, a differential captaincy which hits big and a few weeks of above average scores and you're back in the mix

    5. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      easily still finish with a good rank, just take it a week at a time and slowly climb

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers matey, yeah I agree, just take it week by week and don’t try and conquer it all within one weekend, I need to stay patient.

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

          all i care about is getting a green each week and beating 10k and overall averages, wont beat 10k average every week but u dont need to.
          Hits arent so bad, the 4 weeks i took -4s all got me greens, not keen on -8s tho

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I’ve taken a lot of hits, that needs to calm down, although many have been greens they’ve been very small. I have a great team but just can’t pick a correct captain to save my life!
            Team now is:

            Martinez
            James - Dallas - Chillwell
            Son - Jota - KDB - Salah - Bruno
            DCL - Bamford

            I need to seriously trust in that now, it’s a decent team.

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

              yea nice, and cap picks easy next several weeks, with KDB, Bruno and Salah to pick from

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Indeed, cheers mate, onwards from here I hope now.

    6. All about the galacticos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      depends on where your goals are.
      play tight up til doubles, then reassess. you'll catch a few casuals on the double gameweeks. A lot of used their chips.
      I'd say top 100k still possible. top 300k should be very reasonable to achieve.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I don’t really have goals so to speak, would just like to have a decent season in what seems forever now. My goal right now is to have one good GW where I move up a chunk of places, that simple.
        I’ve used FH along with 1st WC.
        Cheers man hope so.

        1. All about the galacticos
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          play tight, look to get a small green arrow each week. hopefully improve.
          After xmas, some around you and above 1m+ have lost interest too (i.e. don't make transfers when injuries, don't change captains). you can pick them off with a sorted team.
          I've seen people in the last 10 GWs jump from 1m+ to top 100k.
          Anythings possible

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed on all points there, team is in great shape now so main thing I need to do now is pick sensible captains and stay calm and patient, and realise there’s 27 GW’s to go lol

    7. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You're still nearly 5m above last place 🙂 .... Can't wait for the day I finally get above 3m

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        That’s true I guess, just so used to finishing highly in the past, this season and last are utter nightmares. Here’s hoping we can push on, week by week little by little, I need to focus on my own game now and not be too bothered by rivals.

  15. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Chilwell - Dallas - Coufal
    Salah (C) - Bruno - Grealish - Jota
    Kane - Vardy - DCL
    (Forster) - (Bednarek - Bissouma - Mitchell)

    I reckon no transfers needed here? Cheers and good luck everyone!

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep gtg. Either that or DCL to Bamford

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years

    What to do here?

    A) KDB -> Salah

    Pros: Will have both Son and Kane vs Crystal Palace. Gives me one more week to assess on whether or not I should move them on. Both are still excellent value
    Cons: It will effectively cost me 0.2 to bring back KDB

    B) Kane + Mahrez -> Bamford + Salah -4

    Pros: Won't lose value on KDB. Easier to get in Bruno for Son if need be. Would then have the holy trinity of Salah, KDB and Fernandes from gw13 or 14.
    Cons: No Kane vs Palace. Will effectively lose 0.2-0.3 if I want him back at some point

    C) DCL + Cancelo + Son -> Bamford + Salah + Max 4.7 Def (rotate with Lamptey) -8
    Pros: Won't lose value on Kane + KDB.
    Cons: No Son vs Palace. Will effectively cost me 0.2-0.3 to bring him back if need be.

        Feels weird to lose Kane in his best start to a season with a pp of 10.5. But yeah definetely not a bad shout. Would mean no Mahrez vs WBA as well though

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years

          But you have KDB?

          Maybe look to bring him back 15/16

        B great option. Mahrez playing well atm but more glitzy performances than huge goal threat. I know he got a hat-trick but in other games he has blanked often.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          True. Also might want to have Sterling instead. With option B it's either him or Fernandes coming in for Son. Or if Jota looks unlikely to start, then I can bring in Mahrez for Jota. So main worry is losing Kane I guess. But you can't have them all. I know Mark is in a similar situation. Looking forward to next FPL blackbox episode.

      Thanks guys, seems like there is a consensus here. Will wait and reassess closer to deadline. Salah rising won't price me out anyway.

    4. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I would echo the preference of Option B. Just a more well-balanced option IMO

    Current Team - 1FT & 1.0m ITB

    McCarthy, Martin

    Lamptey, Zouma, James, Justin, Walker-Peters

    Grealish, De Bruyne, Fernandes, Son, Riedewald

    Calvert-Lewin, Bamford, Vardy

    Want Salah and/or Kane so -

    a) Grealish + Vardy ---> Salah + Watkins (-4pts)
    b) Vardy ---> Kane (free)
    c) Suggestions

  21. Vazza

    Vardy, Bellerin => Salah, Charlie Taylor

    4 point hit

    Yes or no?

    that’s it for Ryan...Meslier best of the 4.5/4.6? thanks

  23. baines is god
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ryan
    Konsa Chillwell Walker
    KDB Mahrez Son Zaha
    Werner DCL Bamford

    I used my free transfer for Bamford already but am tempted to do a free hit to get loads of Liverpool/Arsenal players etc.

    Being greedy?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I certainly wouldn't be using my FH to load up on Arsenal players.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Waste of FH.

      1. baines is god

        i just got this urge to gamble and wanna rise up the leaderboard to keep myself interested over the new year. Wanna have 1 massive differential bink gameweek to go high

  24. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy, Bellerin (3-4-3)
    => Salah, Charlie Taylor (3-5-2)

    4 point hit

    Yes or no?

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Doesnt worth it this week if need an extra FT to switch formation IMO

  25. Vazza
    • 5 Years

    Any chance Newcastle vs WBA is rescheduled for next week and Newcastle have a double gameweek?

  26. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    You know what, I've been thinking about Mahrez in of late.

    That price is very good. If he continues to perform as well as he did at the weekend, he's gonna get a sustained run in this team for a fixture run that reads: WBA sou NEW eve in the next few weeks.

    A double up with City is surely worth it.

    I might even sacrifice Son for him. It's really worth considering I think. The points ceiling is there. He's getting a sustained run of games. We know he has big points in him. Heck, he should've had a bunch of assists last game that were squandered.

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

      not 4 me, City rotate too much and xmas busy period coming up.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Already progressed In CL. No need to rotate as much during Christmas.

    2. baines is god
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      right now he's in great form. It does seem he's set to start on the right wing for the next 4/5 league games. However Guardiola does random things. I brought in Walker who'd played every minute of every game. Pep rested him in CL midweek, then didn't pick him randomly for the Fulham game. Cost me at least 6 points.

      Mahrez is hugging the touchline playing wider than before, and is involved in build up play, but not having that much goal threat, with the exception of his hat-trick game. His great performances are not breeding huge fantasy point potential imo. I'd steer clear and rather double up with Walker/Mendy or Sterling or even Jesus

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Is that stats or anecdotally?

        Because Mahrez crushes Son in a 'last 4 matches' comparison in the members area.
        Higher xG, higher xA, higher pen area touches, much more goal attempts. It's not close.

        I really do think there's something there. He has looked really good, and he who dares wins. Besides, Mahrez I think is underpriced really. 175 points last year is nothing to sniff at. I think that puts him in the top 10 of all mids. And he's priced now at 8.4m.

        Yeah he's not a captaincy pick, but a City sword over this hectic period can be really nice to have. A big differential with a huge ceiling.

        I'm quite tempted. We'll see. There is a chance that I'll do Son > Mahrez in GW13. That could be a 15 point swing in a single week.

    3. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’m not sure what more Son could do to warrant a season keeper status.

      It’s mind boggling

      1. baines is god
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        spurs have tough fixtures and he's at 60% ownership. He's not on set pieces and Mourinho's performances are not breeding high expected goals. He could easily have a dry spell and people wanna get rid to differentiate themselves. makes sense to me

    4. Kryptonite666
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You make good points. Son over Mahrez any day though. Son a much better player - and I say this as a City fan.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I think he's a better player too, but I'm unconvinced that he's going to keep this up scoring wise. Couple that with tougher fixtures, and I think there could be value here we're missing.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years

          Leicester could be a blood bath

        2. Kryptonite666
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I got rid of Son and Kane 3 game weeks ago based on this logic and hasn’t worked out well.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            It hasn't?

            I would think it has. If you got Bruno and KdB in, you'd be on more points than Kane and Son...

            1. Kryptonite666
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Vardy and Ziyech.

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    Which one to get 1st the other comes in next week? Bamford or Watkins?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Bam, did someone say he is rising tonight?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        At 94

  28. Toby Lerone
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Evening all, getting the fear not owning Salah but can't afford without taking Vardy out for a hit so what do you think?

    A) ziyech > Jota and captain Vardy
    B) Vardy, ziyech > Salah(c), bamford -4
    C) Vardy, Rodriguez, ziyech > bamford, Salah(c), Jota -8

    Cheers!

    Would you make these transfers now or wait for the midweek games to get over? Might get priced out if I don’t.

    Vardy Mahrez > Salah bamford
