How Spurs assets fared in their final match before Double Gameweek 26

West Ham United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Michail Antonio (£6.5m), Jesse Lingard (£5.9m) | Lucas Moura (£6.6m)
  • Assists: Pablo Fornals (£5.9m)| Gareth Bale (£9.3m)
  • Bonus: Lingard x3, Antonio x2, Lucas x1

DOUBLE TROUBLE

With five defeats in their last six Premier League matches, Spurs have hardly put in convincing auditions for Double Gameweek 26.

Only four goals have arrived from Gameweek 20 onwards and while their recent fixture run has been far from straightforward, only Crystal Palace have had fewer big chances and shots in the box than Spurs when clubs are filtered their last half-dozen games.

A double-header against Burnley and Fulham would ordinarily have us reaching for the Triple Captain chip but those two sides’ defensive form and Spurs’ own malaise leave doubts lingering in the mind.

It’s the respective ownerships of Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and Harry Kane (£11.1m) that may leave FPL managers fearful of going without a Spurs representative in Gameweek 26 but there was little persuasive from the former in particular at the London Stadium.

Son blanked for the eighth time in 11 matches in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham, with the closest he came to an attacking return being a freak, looping effort that struck the hosts’ woodwork late in the game.

Kane was more prominent, firing on goal at will and teeing up the impressive Gareth Bale (£9.3m) up for a second-half attempt that clipped the bar.

BALE LIFT

Arguably the pick of the Spurs players at the London Stadium didn’t even start the match.

Bale has underwhelmed since his return to north London but he produced perhaps his best league performance all season in Gameweek 25, emerging as a half-time substitute and looking sharp and, crucially, motivated.

The Welshman had also looked the part in the Europa League on Thursday and had been tipped up for a start this weekend, but his manager explained that he physically wasn’t quite at the required standard:

[Bale is] not yet ready to start two matches in three days. The same as Dele for different reasons.

For Dele, because he was injured and out of the team for more than a month, not even training.

Gareth because of his evolution. This is part of his evolution. No doubt that the performance was good and no doubt that I believe sooner rather than later he will be ready to play more than he is now.

Bale remains a massive and unnecessary gamble as a Gameweek 26 asset but a continuation of that form going into the double-header against Burnley and Fulham could be hugely beneficial to the Spurs players we Fantasy managers do own, particularly Kane.

The England striker has so often been the man to grab games by the scruff of the neck, which usually goes hand in hand with dropping deep to instigate attacks.

On Sunday, we instead saw Bale doing plenty of that – and Kane, as a result, spent a bit more time lurking in areas where we prefer to see him, topping the penalty box touch count by some distance.

EUROPA, BETTER BY DESIGN

While it’s still a bit early in the campaign for teams to be writing off their domestic commitments, it’s worth bearing in mind for the medium term that the Premier League might end up being the third priority for Jose Mourinho.

Nine points adrift of a top-four place, Mourinho’s best chance of achieving a Champions League qualification spot could end up being through winning the Europa League – something he himself admitted yesterday:

Of course, if you say nine points now, it is difficult, is very possible.

And the Europa League. We are alive, and when we are alive, knowing that many difficult opponents and everybody has the same ambition that we have, but Europa League is a window of opportunity that is open for us, and maybe we can also get to Champions League through the Europa League.

Never one to turn his nose up at any form of silverware, Mourinho and his Spurs side also have the EFL Cup final to look forward to at the end of April.

With the fixtures coming thick and fast throughout the spring, how far into the Europa League would Spurs have to progress before their head coach views the top flight as a distraction and a chance to hand his star players a breather?

It won’t be Double Gameweek 26, but it’s certainly a prospect in the run-in.

STOP HAMMER TIME?

Source: Soccerstats.com

West Ham are second in the Premier League form table over their last eight matches, with only the two Manchester clubs plundering more goals in that time.

The Hammers are offering value aplenty in Fantasy Premier League at present, from the top-scoring defender, Aaron Cresswell (£5.8m), to the asset who can – temporarily, at least – boast the best points-per-match average, Jesse Lingard (£5.9m).

Tomas Soucek (£5.4m) has also massively exceeded expectations on the goal front in 2020/21, while Michail Antonio (£6.5m), when fit, is among the pick of the mid-price forwards.

Antonio returned from injury on Sunday and opened the scoring from close range (again), while Lingard’s excellent strike just after the interval made it four attacking returns in as many games since his loan move from Manchester United.



The issue with the Hammers is not form, but fixtures.

Between now and Gameweek 33, West Ham face all four of the other clubs who currently sit in the top five of the Premier League table.

More pressingly, however, they are among just six other teams who don’t have two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26 – and their one game is against Manchester City at the Etihad.

For those FPL managers not playing their Bench Boost in the upcoming Gameweek or without a Free Hit chip, Soucek et al are at least worth keeping on board for their match against Arsenal in March – that fixture is one of just four to take place in Blank Gameweek 29.


West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen (Benrahma 65′), Lingard (Noble 90′), Fornals (Johnson 81′); Antonio.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1) Lloris; Tanganga (Doherty 46′), Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon (Alli 77′); Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Lucas, Lamela (Bale 46′), Son; Kane.

    Should i take a -8 and bb this team?

    Mitchell Grealish Antonio > Targett M.Pereira DCL

    Martinez
    Targett Cancelo Dias Coufal
    M.Pereira Salah Bruno Gundogan
    Kane DCL

    Pope, Dallas Raphinha Bamford

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

  2. Tibbs
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Is this madness:

    Coufal + Son + Bamford >>Stones + Barnes + Kane (-8) would give me

    Johnstone
    Stones | Dias | Shaw
    Gundo | Salah | Barnes | Bruno
    Watkins | Rich | Kane (tc)

    The issue I guess is Son out could backfire spectacularly and will Stones get both games?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Would keep Bamford and Son

      1. Tibbs
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Even if I am trying to get Kane in to TC?

    2. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Spurs have been dreadful recently, but considering the options in the forward position j will keep kane and replace sonny

  3. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Raphina to Barnes worth -4?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      It's a -2 hit this week so worth it.

    2. Tibbs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I personally think so but all depends on future plans for 29.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Have FH left, bit might use it on A smaller dgw instead if I can field 7 ish bgw 29

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I think so with the extra game but keep in mind you are losing a player for 29

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      No imo. Raphinha has a game in 29 and is a good asset. I think there are better ways to get ahead.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Tell me about those better ways!

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Seems mental - have you watched Raphinia recently? What makes him a sale...

      I think the Barnes double return FOMO is turning your head a little there

      Not that Barnes can't hattrick this week of course. Or even double hattrick

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Same issue here. Barnes has bigger upside and I am chasing, so planning it. FH 29 helps though.

    7. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Cheers!

      Probably doing Rashford to Son for FT and considering a -4

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Rash to Son or Rash for Son? Both are don't buy, don't sell atm imo. I wouldn't make a coin toss transfer there if you can get Barnes for free.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 25 days ago

          Will mean going Spurs leds

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 25 days ago

            ‘Less

    8. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Good move i would say

  4. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    What's the word on Cavani?
    Will he be fit for DGW 26?

  5. Gudge
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Help please! This is my current wild card, I have free hit left to play so not worried about bgw29.

    Martinez, Forster
    Cancelo, konsa, Stones, Shaw ***
    Gundo, Fernandes, Salah, Barnes ***
    Kane, Dcl ***

    A- vardy, smith roe, Struijk
    B- Davis, Son, Rudiger
    C- other

    Have Kane already

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      B

    2. Teomi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Vardy for me - form över fixtures

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Best TC option from this bunch?

    Martinez,
    Dias, Cancelo, Shaw,
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundo, Barnes
    Kane, Watkins

    Sanchez, Bamford, Aina, Dallas

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I'm still undecided between Kane, Bruno, Salah and Gundo

      1. Tibbs
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        I'll throw in Dias for the unflair pick for TC

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 25 days ago

          If you are going proper differential then Martinez

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Had planned for weeks to go Kane but last few games they have been shocking?
        Bruno is smashing it this year & Salah is Salah 😉

    2. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Bruno. Have been consistent with his returns

    3. g40steve

    Meslier Mendy
    Dias Stones Tarkowski Mee Coufal
    Salah Gundo Bruno Son Raphina
    Bamford Ings Richarlison
    A) Ings to DCL and have11 dgw players, TC someone, Bruno??
    B) WC to get rid of Burnley and Mendy
    C) Other idea

    1. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 25 days ago

      A

  8. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Would you sacrifice any of the below for Kane? (have Son)
    DCL Bamford Ings

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      B

    2. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I would just have one spurs player

  9. LC1
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    How many players are you all aiming to have for BGW29 (if you're not FHing or WCing for it) ?

    I'll have around 8 or 9 with a hit.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Same with 8 or 9 (-4) but it depends who those players are. You be fine if you have Kane, Martinez, Son, Bamford, Dallas, Grealish, Cresswell and Antonio. Just named player who I think will have high ownership for that GW.

      I survived BGW18 with 7(-4) covering the main players and resulted in a 50k red arrow

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      7 to 9

    3. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      11

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Wow nice! Assuming you're wildcarding on 30 then?

  10. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Drop Antonio or Ings for Vardy?

    Leaning towards Antonio because of DGW27, but Ings would sure free up some money.

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Antonio

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Antonio

    3. MIGHTY JOE

      Cheers

  11. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Do you think it's worth to do Pope->Martinez for a hit?

    1. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      no

  12. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Which player would you get rid to transfer in Kane(TC)
    a) Salah
    b) Son
    c) DCL
    or go without Kane

    1. Tibbs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Same issue as me, leaning towards Son out but could backfire spectacularly

      1. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Thats what i am thinking. Son and Salah are not in the best form,but they can punch you if you sell them. Big headache but Salah is the closest one for me

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      salah

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Salah

    4. GROBARI

      Thank you guys!

    5. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I dropped son to have kane for gw 25. Just because there aren't any better options up front compare to midfield

    6. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I am likely to be dropping Son to get Kane but it makes me feel a bit ill regardless!

    7. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Son

    Will BB this week:

    Martinez Areola

    Salah Bruno Grealish Gundo Raphina
    Ings Bamford Watkins

    As things stand currently have:
    10DGW26

    Grealish, Bamford, Ings > Barnes, DCL, Kane -8?

    Will leave me with 12DGW26 + 6BGW29 moving forward.

    RMWCT

    (Slightly worried about the bench depth..)

    Martinez
    Dias Cancelo Ricardo
    Salah Bruno Son Gundo Barnes
    Kane DCL

    Fabri White Struijk Davis

    0.0 ITB.

    1. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Yes, your bench is not the best but starting 11 is solid

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I don't think Pereira is worth it. Ditch him and you can upgrade Struijk (if he loses his place you have no bench cover)

  16. nadman89
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    have taken 2-3 weeks to prepare for 26 and lost 30 points in my ML in the process hope it works out . hows it look:

    Areola

    awb - dias - targett

    son - bruno - sterling - gundo

    dcl - kane(TC) - watkins

    forster - raph - coufal - lewis

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      -20 with hits this week would have been better idea 🙁

  17. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Would you hold on to sterling on move to son?

    1. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      hold has a double in 27 too . at least see after cl

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Hold Sterling.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Definite hold - 4 games over next 2 Gameweeks.

      Although potentially he might only play 3 of them I guess and Son has slightly better fixtures, but probably not enough in it to make the switch for me.

  18. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Random question but who was the most expensive FPL player of all time and how much did they cost????

    do we think Mbappe or Haaland would cost more???

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Might be wrong but I think Ronaldo was 14m the season before he went to Madrid

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Ronaldo was class, perma captain with Rooney and Lampard to compliment him

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 25 days ago

          His last season wasn't that amazing I don't think, was season before he was scoring 30+. Remember him getting sent off at Portsmouth in like the 2nd game of the season when I had him captain!

          1. Babit1967
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 25 days ago

            Sure he scored 40 goals and 20 assists one season, might been the second last season he was here

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Pretty sure Van Persie was 14m too. Maybe Henry as well.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Think this is correct, same as Ronaldo mentioned above

  19. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Going to BB this week and got 3 Leeds currently. Think I'm going to keep Raphinha. Any of these worth a transfer, I don't have FH left for 29:

    A Bamford to Watkins
    B Dallas to Pereira (any defender under 6m)
    C both

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Do you have DCL? bamford > DCL could work

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Yep, will have DCL already. Going off Watkins a bit after yesterday

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 25 days ago

          Hmm. I have watkins myself, he isnt as good an asset without grealish

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 25 days ago

            Might just stick with Bamford and Raph on BB

            1. DAZZ
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 25 days ago

              I have same dilemma. Im trying to maximize the effectiveness of BB myself, thinking grealish, ings, bamford > barnes, kane, DCL -8.

              1. Pat Bonner
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 25 days ago

                I like those moves, think the hit will pay off

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Think I like the defender move better than Watkins - he looked off his game last match but who knows!!

      1. Pat Bonner

    Coufal to digne (-4) ??
    (I will bring coufal for bgw29 again)

    Or

    Play dallas..

    Another day and another wildcard attempt. I quite like this one. I will use the free hit chip in gw29 so no need to think about that. Any comments or suggestions for better picks?

    Martínez
    Cancelo, Digne, Alonso
    Salah, Fernandes, Gündogan, Pereira, Barnes
    DCL, Kane

    McGill, Bamford, Lowton, Struijk

      Think you need 3 man city..

        3 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks. I am not a fan of 3 players from the same team.First time this gw for me with 3 Leeds players (only because I had 2 free transfers and wanted to use the wildcard afterwards...)

          Yeah I understand that, but City are just winning every single game.

    Who scores more? ...B comes with a hit and puts the two Leeds guys on the bench but gives me 11 DGWers.

    A)
    Raphinia (AVL)
    Bamford (AVL)

    B) -4
    Dier (BUR & FUL)
    Pereira (BHA & EVE)

    Anyone braving it without Kane?

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      As much as i think he isn’t really that essential this week based off form, the fixtures are scary, potentially 2x braces if he finds his feet.

        Yeah indeed...

        I'm a bit stuck myself with how spread out my funds are.

        It's either get rid of Son/Fernandes/Salah (and still have Grealish potentially to deal with), or take a -8 with no money to spare 🙂

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 25 days ago

          I wouldn’t be scared to take a hit in a DGW of this size. You can easily make up the points just ensure you nail the transfers and the captaincy. Looking at your rank i’d be worried people around me would bring Kane in and give him the band! All the best for the rest of the season man. You’re flying

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Nope. Potentially TC for me.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I wouldn’t go without Kane for dgw but I wouldn’t TC him either

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      It's either BB without Kane or TC with him. Difficult to have good BB team with him.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Just checked. Getting Kane for me and BB would mean -8 and no DCL and no Digne (Coufal to Aina instead). And in case of trying to do serious chasing, TC Kane is simply too common strategy. So I will bet against it (and probably be punished).

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      It is one of my peripheral options (I already have Son) but he is looking a lot better than Son and with those fixtures I think it's v hard to avoid

    Jesus seems to start every home game now. He must be a good option this DGW, pending Kun updates?

    A Hold Sterling
    B Sell to Barnes as part of - 8 to get Kane ( Sterling to Barnes and Bamford to Kane in addition to Ings to DCL)

    If keep Sterling team ( 10 double week players) would be

    Martinez
    Cancelo Tarkowski Shaw
    Salah Sterling Bruno Gundogan Raphinha
    DCL Watkins

    Pope Bamford Dallas Coufal

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      That's a tough one

      -8 including selling Sterling seems madness tbh but having neither of Kane or Son takes a very brave person with the potential of these fixtures!!

      Really unsure - depends on level of risk appetite and your rank etc

  26. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Weighing up my early options ahead of DGW26 - would appreciate your views!
    I have TC and WC left - planning on TC this week and WC in 30/31.

    A) Ings, Pope > Kane, fodder (-4) - Kane + Son double up
    B) Ings, Bamford, Son > Kane, Watkins, Barnes (-8)
    C) Ings, Son, Coufal > Kane, Barnes, Targett/ Aina (-8) - play 442 and bench 3x LEE
    D) Ings, Bamford, Coufal > Vardy, Watkins, Thomas (-8) - keep Son, no Kane

    1FT 1.3itb
    Martinez
    Dias, Stones, Shaw
    Salah, Bruno, Gundo, Son, Raphinha
    DCL, Ings
    (Pope) (Bamford, Dallas, Coufal)

    Cheers!

      Will you captain Kane if you get him? A looks good to me

    2. Cowboy John
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      A

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Bamford or Antonio to DCL not worth a -8 is it?

    1. richarlison2348
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      absolutely not

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Not a -8 no

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Why -8? depends on the other transfer

    4. DNML
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Its only -4 and I would sell Antonio for DCL

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        -8 as I need to do Justin to Mitchell to fund.

  28. ratski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    A. Rapihna to Barnes
    Or
    B. Bamford to DCL

    Don't really want to lose either to be honest but playing bench boost means really need a dgw player

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Definitely Bamford for DCL. raphina is unreal atm. He’ll tear Villa apart

      1. ratski
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Must admit I watched raphina against wolves and he's literally involved in everything Leeds do.. Barnes proving hard to resist though.

      Oh god. Not easy either (see mine below).
      B probably.

  29. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 25 days ago

    Help needed: What would you do with 1 FT:
    A) Raphinha to Barnes (bench Bamford or Ings in 3-5-2)
    B) Ings to Kane (bench Raphinha in 3-4-3)

    I already have Son, but no Leicester City.

    Many thanks in advance

    1. ZakyJ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Tough one, Id go Kane

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks!

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Got the same dilemma!

      I'm considering dropping Son to get Kane so I can keep Raphinha who is looking v good still

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks! Good luck either way 🙂

  30. ZakyJ

    whats the best sub 4.6M midfield for the DGW?

    Anguissa/Reed?
    Curtis Jones?
    Reidewald?
    Dendoker?
    Yokuslu?
    anyone else?

    I really want DCL but need a 4.6m M for my BB.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Anguissa. Might come in handy in BGW29 as well, or do you have FH / enough players?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      Slim pickings - probably Reed for guaranteed 4 points from the double

    3. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 25 days ago

      I guess I'd probably go CJ
