We continue our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 10 Scout Notes with analysis of Wolverhampton Wanderers v Everton.

For a briefer summary of Saturday’s Premier League action, click here, while you can read up on some more matches in detail below.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 2-1 EVERTON

  • Goals: Max Kilman (£4.5m), Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) | Alex Iwobi (5.8m)
  • Assists: Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.3m) | Michael Keane (£5.0m)
  • Bonus (projected): Jimenez x3, Keane x2, Iwobi x2

WOLVES BUILDING MOMENTUM

After tonight’s 2-1 win at Molineux, Wolves have now won four of their last five Premier League matches, drawing the other one, and are up to seventh in the table.

Despite a slow start which saw them lose their opening three games, they are now currently one of the form teams in the division, ahead of an appealing run of fixtures which sees them take on Crystal Palace (a), West Ham United (h), Norwich City (a) and Burnley (h) in the next four Gameweeks.

Striker Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) has now produced attacking returns in each of his last four starts, after calmly lobbing Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) in the first-half. However, it could have been more for the Mexican, as he hit the woodwork from a Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) cross, and ended the night with match-leading totals for goal attempts, shots in the box, big chances and penalty box touches.

Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-chan (£5.7m) had a goal ruled out by VAR, having been just offside, while he was also a little unfortunate not to bag an assist.

£4.3M AIT-NOURI ON CORNERS

In a lively and adventurous display down Wolves’ left flank, budget defender Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.3) supplied an assist for Max Kilman’s (£4.5) opener direct from a corner.

The youngster shared corner-taking duties with Joao Moutinho (£5.0m) on the night, and could become a real FPL asset if he nails down a starting spot ahead of Marcal (£4.5m), who was again absent through injury.

Elsewhere, Adama Traore (£5.9m) dropped to the bench after a quiet performance at Leeds United in Gameweek 9, with Francisco Trincao (£5.8m) replacing him in the starting XI, while Ruben Neves (£5.4m) also featured at the expense of Leander Dendoncker (£4.8m).

OUT OF SORTS EVERTON

Following last weekend’s 5-2 loss against Watford, Everton continue to look out of sorts and have now lost their last three Premier League games.

Tonight, they struggled from the off in a narrow 4-4-2 formation, with huge spaces regularly appearing in front of their back four. In response, they switched to a 4-5-1 just after the half-hour mark, with Richarlison (£7.8m) operating as their lone forward. That did at least stop the relentless pressure they were under, and signalled an improvement in the second-half, though it still wasn’t enough.

Notably, Wolves’ first goal arrived from a set-piece, which the Toffees are struggling to defend on a regular basis this season. In fact, they have now conceded 44 attempts from dead-ball situations, more than any other side bar Crystal Palace.

A mounting injury list, which already includes the likes of Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m), is clearly taking its toll, then, with Lucas Digne (£5.2m) adding to their woes with a muscle injury which kept him out of tonight’s fixture. The 28-year-old France international will now be assessed, though it is unclear whether or not he will be fit for Everton’s next game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

“He was feeling a bit of discomfort so we left him out” – Rafael Benitez on Lucas Digne

With that fixture in mind, Harry Kane (£12.1m) and Son Heung-min (£10.2m) owners could be the next to profit from Everton’s shaky backline in Gameweek 11.

“It is a pity because we didn’t play in the first half. We had a lot of character and chances in the second half, it was maybe a little too late. That was the reaction we were expecting but it was just a shame we didn’t do it in the first half.

They were growing in confidence. We have to see what we did in the second half for 90 minutes. Obviously, we didn’t do it and that is where we have to improve.

We saw the character in the second half to react after a bad first half. I think we are close but missing the players that can make a difference.” â€“ Rafael Benitez


Wolves XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Ait-Nouri, Trincao (Podence 79), Hwang (Silva 90+4), Jimenez (Dendoncker 90)

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, Allan, Gbamin (Delph 45), Townsend, Iwobi (Gordon 78), Gray (Rondon 90), Richarlison

    5 years, 1 hour ago

    The South Koreans are coming in , Hwang this week and Son next

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Seung Gi-Hun the week after?

      1. Bob B
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        456 points

    2. MikeS
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Son is going to explode under Conte... Even kane might be worth getting in

      1. isthoralive
        4 years, 12 months ago

        One day Kane will be a viable asset again

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      BTS? Blackpink?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        5 years, 5 mins ago

        Prefer a bit of Red Velvet myself

  3. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Any information on Mbeumo being back? Saw he was an unused sub at the weekend.

    1. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      He was on the bench, so should be fit.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Surely straight back into starting XI.
      TC material.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 43 mins ago

      Cheers both. Traore out for me, finally.

    4. isthoralive
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Definitely a starter against Norwich

  4. MikeS
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A. Zaha
    B. Gallagher (and £1.3mn to spend elsewhere)

    1. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      B

    2. GreennRed
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      B

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      If you put gun in my head, perhaps Gallagher, because he is easier to bench and money is always needed.

      1. MikeS
        5 years, 51 mins ago

        Zaha is on pens tho..

    4. isthoralive
      4 years, 12 months ago

      B

  5. Botman and Robben
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    May go with Kane and Son after int'l break if the new manager gets back to attacking football.

    1. MikeS
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Yep both are going to explode under conte

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Not sure Hazza will come out of his funk. Equally likely to become the new Michy B as the new Diego Costa.

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Gray 2 points. What a night.

    1. MikeS
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      What a player... What s team

    2. Botman and Robben
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      You are a patient man keeping him for so long.

      1. Bobby Digital
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Fixtures ended now. Had to play them out...

        1. Botman and Robben
          5 years, 1 hour ago

          Who is the coming replacement?

          1. Bobby Digital
            5 years, 1 hour ago

            Trossard I think

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              5 years, 1 hour ago

              Hahahahaha

            2. tyron
              4 years, 12 months ago

              I'm thinking the same

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Needed a brace tonight to hit 100 points for the week

  7. Bob B
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Midfielder of choice?
    Can go up to 6.5 however (own Raphinha and Benrahma)

    A. ESR
    B. Mbeumo
    C. Gallagher

    1. MikeS
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      A

    2. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      A

    3. El Presidente

  8. Flynny
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Who do we think is the best spurs asset for their good run?

    A....son

    B...kane

    Given the price difference, son the man surely? Thanks

    1. GreennRed
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Son.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Double up surely

      1. Fish up a tree
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Why stop there

    3. Botman and Robben
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Both

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      I have Son, but getting Kane with my team structure doesn't look too eaay. And I am not certain that his issues have anything to do with the manager situation.

      1. Flynny
        5 years, 59 mins ago

        Will be extremely hard to accommodate son and kanr without big sacrifices

    5. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      5 years, 56 mins ago

      both

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 44 mins ago

      Reguilon..?

    7. MikeS
      5 years, 40 mins ago

      Son

    8. isthoralive
      4 years, 12 months ago

      A, Kane is a dud, until proven otherwise, especially at that price

    9. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Son

  9. Balls of Steel
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Everton really struggling now without DCL firepower. Benitez can't rely on Richarlson or Rondon to lead the line!

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      I'd rather Rondon than kane.

      1. Balls of Steel
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Maybe Harry will wake up from his coma when Conte arrives!

    2. Real Pathetico
      5 years, 21 mins ago

      Doucouré injured hasn't helped either

      1. Balls of Steel
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Actually had forgotten he's out, Doucouré has been immense for the Toffees this season, sorely missed in midfield.

  10. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    How’s this looking for next game week?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - Chilwell - Livramento
    Salah - Raphina - ESR - Gallagher
    Antonio - Vardy

    Gunn - Toney - Duffy - Mahrez

    Is it worth a bench boost?
    0.3m itb.
    Can do Mahrez to Trossard and Gunn to Sanchez. (-4).

    1. Botman and Robben
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      BB in a DGW.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Terrible advice

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Without even looking at your XV, I'd say no to BB.
      Wait for DGW then (C) Duffy.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        5 years, 1 hour ago

        Great advice

    3. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Surely have to play Toney this week of all week's?

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Start Toney over Gallagher or someone.

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 59 mins ago

        Yeah thats the plan. Haven’t confirmed the final eleven.

    5. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 59 mins ago

      I think the BB isn’t a wild idea. During double gw it’s normal to have either bad fixtures or several players with only 1 games. The -4 move could really pay off too.

      If you feel like it - do it!
      Plenty of folks with +30 bench points this week.

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 58 mins ago

        Cheers pal. I had 22 points on my bench.. ESR and Gallagher. Could do without such a headache this week.

      2. Crunchie
        5 years, 57 mins ago

        Yes me if i had played it hahaha 🙂

  11. RogDog_jimmy
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Do we think Rashford gets a starting role post-IB?

    I’m looking for Havertz replacements.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Ron, Cavani, Rashers and Greenwood fighting for 2 spots now?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 59 mins ago

        Greenwood is hardly a threat

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          5 years, 52 mins ago

          Ron = Cole
          Rashford = Yorke
          Cavani = Teddy
          Greenwood = Ole himself

          1. Haa-lala-land
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Fred = Roy Keane

        2. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 38 mins ago

          Have you not watched the utd this season?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      With this formation and his pace, yes imo.

    3. GreennRed
      5 years, 1 hour ago

      Gametime is too unreliable to punt on him. Greenwood, Sancho, Martial in similar story

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        5 years, 57 mins ago

        Maybe Greenwood is up with him but Sancho has not been good and Martial wouldn’t threaten his wide position no?

        Maybe a pricey punt of the Mahrez sorts. But only one premium allows for these punts I think.

    4. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 57 mins ago

      Hard to say for sure but on current form appears a strong candidate to start on left wing. I think he's too expensive though, better cheaper options available.

    5. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 39 mins ago

      Not keen on Foden?

  12. Riders of Yohan
    5 years, 1 hour ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Sanchez, Steele
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Chilwell, Livra
    Salah, Son, Gallagher, ESR, Brownhill
    Kane, Toney, Hwang

    Would be for exact money.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 57 mins ago

      Love it, though you seem to have spelt Jimi "K_A_N_E"

      1. Balls of Steel
        5 years, 55 mins ago

        Yes but without Kane there.

      2. Riders of Yohan
        5 years, 33 mins ago

        Hahaha might have done

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      5 years, 55 mins ago

      too early for double up?

      1. Riders of Yohan
        5 years, 33 mins ago

        Could be although only way to get ahead of the curve. Also Everton look a bit more shaky without doucoure

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          5 years, 32 mins ago

          I think gray is about to take off

    3. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 50 mins ago

      Really solid team with great fixtures coming up for the squad. I would look to bring in a Brighton Mid / Fwd (Trossard of Maupay) for their good fixtures. So you could downgrade one of the defenders for that move.

      1. Riders of Yohan
        5 years, 32 mins ago

        Yeah might be a shout. For some reason not as convinced with brighton attack!

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 48 mins ago

      solid bench / good headache each week

      1. Riders of Yohan
        5 years, 31 mins ago

        Yeah my thought is that in the case of probable rotation / injury

    5. isthoralive
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Not Kane

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 59 mins ago

    Best option to bring in between

    A Hwang
    B Toney or
    C Broja ( if fit)

    1. GreennRed
      5 years, 58 mins ago

      A

    2. Flynny
      5 years, 58 mins ago

      A

    3. Crunchie
      5 years, 58 mins ago

      I think Toney's luck will change soon

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        5 years, 54 mins ago

        does he seems always like to score? I didnt watch much on Brentford

        1. Crunchie
          5 years, 53 mins ago

          I think he does, he had another offside goal like Fodens one. That has happened twice now in the last two or three.

          You can see he is a very good player, he does look much better than Mbeumo on the eye test for me

          1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
            5 years, 51 mins ago

            If so i would like to give a chance for 2-3 games(for antonio) so I can get Chilwell

      2. GreennRed
        5 years, 54 mins ago

        2 goals in 10 games is more than bad luck. Brentford not at the level they started the season at.

        1. Haa-lala-land
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Teams have figured Brentford out now. That Burnley result last week was pretty telling.

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Yup - three goals disallowed and Mbuemo ruining at least 3-4 assists have been very harsh on Toney

        He’d be easily up on 50+ points alongside Vardy & Antonio if not for those

        Totally capable of a brace or Hattrick vs Norwich

    4. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 55 mins ago

      A

    5. isthoralive
      4 years, 12 months ago

      B

  14. Crunchie
    5 years, 58 mins ago

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA, Dias, Cancelo, Chilwell, Livra
    Salah, Gallagher, Foden, Saka, Normann
    Jimenez, Antonio, Vardy

    A) Hold.
    B) Dias to James (needs a -4 for Vardy to Son GW12)
    C) Antonio to Toney (needs a -4 for Vardy to Son GW12
    D) Vardy to Toney for the next two games and assess him going forward

    1. GreennRed
      5 years, 56 mins ago

      A

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 55 mins ago

      No big issue here

    5. Crunchie

  15. Ray85

    Who to start? Liv v Villa or Antonio v Liverpool please?

    Also best long term option from Gw12 onwards, Son or Ronaldo?

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      5 years, 52 mins ago

      antonio
      liverpool look shaky at the back

    5 years, 53 mins ago

    Bye Antonio(Donkey) , hi Hwang

    1. El Presidente
      5 years, 48 mins ago

      Horrible transfer

      1. Bob B
        5 years, 46 mins ago

        It's obviously to create funds for a successive transfer?
        Hwang is great value

        1. Dynamic Duos

          Yeah mate and Antonio form is terrible up against the 3rd stingyiest defence in league

          1. El Presidente
            5 years, 39 mins ago

            Antonio is going to kill you.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              5 years, 37 mins ago

              He already is , can't take anymore

          2. GreennRed
            5 years, 32 mins ago

            Hwang is a good pick but Pool defence is inconsistent so far. The high line kills them at times and Van Dijk not back to his best yet. Antonio well capable of scoring against them.

        2. El Presidente
          5 years, 40 mins ago

          Still horrible

    2. dunas_dog

      If it funds Havertz to Son next week a good move.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        5 years, 42 mins ago

        Yeah it is mate

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 41 mins ago

      Not the be all...but Antonio nearly 50% ownership
      Sink or swim, could be nice differential with the extra funds

    4. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 months ago

      No

  17. GreennRed
    5 years, 42 mins ago

    Lloris should be a good option under Conte.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 40 mins ago

      they need better than Eric Dire

      1. GreennRed
        5 years, 30 mins ago

        Definitely. Conte will make them dogged, increased workrate from all and mids helping that backline more. Could even see Dier back in midfield.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        5 years, 2 mins ago

        Dier seems to somehow always have at least one lengthy good period with every manager no matter how much it defies logic

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 38 mins ago

      This could well be true. Apart from him and Son (and possibly Kane though wouldn't go near him yet) nobody else at Spurs worth having even if Conte turns them into mid-90s Juventus.

  18. Mr. O'Connell

    Best thing about this site is how the recent week bias and how much everyone encourages it.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 38 mins ago

      haha
      it's quite funny.

    2. Rassi
      5 years, 37 mins ago

      Yes, it is amazing. Week after week.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        5 years, 34 mins ago

        So, you're telling me Reece James won't get 21 points a week?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          5 years, 32 mins ago

          Correct, some weeks will only be 19 or 20.

  19. FCSB
    5 years, 36 mins ago

    who scores more:

    1. Cancelo (mun)
    2. Antonio (LIV)

    1. Dynamic Duos
      5 years, 34 mins ago

      1

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 34 mins ago

      I'd go the forward.
      OGS normally does pretty well in this games and after the debacle against Liv, don't think he'll try to go toe-to-toe with City.

    3. waldo666
      5 years, 21 mins ago

      2

  20. RogDog_jimmy
    5 years, 34 mins ago

    I think that post-IB I'm going to get Rashford & Cornet in. Havertz & Raphinha out.

    I think that will be fun.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 28 mins ago

      Might I ask what you see in Young Marcus?

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        5 years, 26 mins ago

        goals - and in the new setup (with Ron) I don't think any of the wingers have excelled.

        their fixtures get great. and if he's truly fit (not last year's half-fit) then I think he'll be great.

        also - only going with one premium at the moment allows for more expensive punts.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          5 years, 23 mins ago

          Thanks.
          Didn't even realise he was a mid this year.
          Interesting.

        2. Ray85
          5 years, 3 mins ago

          Jimmy, can I ask what your forward line looks it?

          1. Ray85
            5 years ago

            *like?

          2. RogDog_jimmy
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Antonio, Jimenez, Vardy

            I don’t like Vardy - wish I never got him when Lukaku got injured. But I’ll hold him for now.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      5 years, 1 min ago

      Rashford has looked good since his return, if ManUtd weren't looking so poor I might well have considered him too. Could very well end up doubling up with Ronaldo at some point though

      1. Ray85
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Would you do Rashford over Son though?

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          4 years, 12 months ago

          No, but that's probably because if I were making these moves I'd go for Son now for short term until GW15 and maybe move him afterwards unless they're in excellent form

  21. Shardlow
    5 years, 30 mins ago

    Got 2 FTs and no idea what to do with on.
    Worth doing Cancelo to Chilwell, to add to James?
    Or don’t bother due to Cancelo’s attacking threat…

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 28 mins ago

      I wouldn't. Cornet to get a hattie, but still be outpointed by Lowton. Dyche knows.

  22. Ray85
    5 years, 30 mins ago

    Best United option from GW15? Really good fixtures! Thinking either Rashford or Ronaldo...?

    1. Ask Yourself
      5 years, 28 mins ago

      Gonna jump on Rashford next week I think

      1. Ray85
        5 years, 26 mins ago

        Do you think that he's guaranteed to get enough minutes for his price tag? Quite a bit of competition especially if Ole goes with Cavani and Ronaldo up front.

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          5 years, 23 mins ago

          i think he's comparable with Foden, Mount, Mahrez, Jota, Greenwood, Pulisic, (soon i hope) - really good players who are risks.
          i'm ok with the expensive risks given we only need Salah of the premiums right now.

          1. Ray85
            5 years, 16 mins ago

            I already have Foden, Salah and Raph so one of them would need to be dumped for Rashford, and Vardy/Auba downgraded. Ronaldo seems the safer better but would need to get even more funds!

            Would you do a United premium over a Spurs one?

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 27 mins ago

      DDG

      1. Ray85
        5 years, 24 mins ago

        Thinking Shaw too? Not ready to get rid of Rambo in goal.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          5 years, 22 mins ago

          Even when he and Utd are playing well he always finds a way to disappoint.
          Maybe after Ole replaced by Southgate next summer.

          1. Ray85
            5 years, 18 mins ago

            Na, surely Shawberto will be back soon! Especially if Ole pays the wing-back option plus his price has dropped a fair bit.

  23. Srkimunja94
    5 years, 30 mins ago

    I need GK ASAP(Raya injured), and i dont believe in Ramsdale( dont think that he will have too much clean sheets, and he isnt getting saves like Martinez last year, or Pope in recent seasons) or any other budget GK, so i want premium GK
    Dilemma is between Ederson and Alison( because Mendy is having Africa Cup of Nations in January and will miss 4-5 games)

    Reasons to buy Alison - Great fixtures, he can also make some saves, but their defence can sometimes be leaky

    Reasons to buy Ederson - Good fixtures, great defence in front of him, but no save points at all

    Help please...

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 27 mins ago

      i dunno - think the answer is Mendy or none of the premiums.

      which means just do Sanchez or Ramsdale and forget about it.
      McCarthy? They got decent fixtures.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 26 mins ago

      Guita?

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 25 mins ago

      Guaita IMO

      1. Srkimunja94
        5 years, 18 mins ago

        Sounds great, Guaita has awesome fixtures.
        Tnx for help guys.

    4. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      5 years, 24 mins ago

      Mendy is the answer if you want boring cleansheet point

    5. shiraz
      5 years, 24 mins ago

      I just did raya to guaita. There are sanchez too

    6. Ray85
      5 years, 19 mins ago

      Rambo got 4 clean sheets out of the last 7 games and in two others where he conceded he got save points. He's only 5 points behind Allison so think you're selling him short! Mendy would be my first choice for premium GK but there's plenty of cheaper options like Guita, Rambo, Sanchez.

  24. shiraz
    5 years, 25 mins ago

    Looking at a long term move till my next wc. For a hit gray to:
    A. Gallagher
    B. Esr

    Who have the highest potential and nailed

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      5 years, 24 mins ago

      ESR i think

    2. rjcv177
      5 years, 24 mins ago

      A

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 22 mins ago

      Gallagher, better fixtures and slightly better stats

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 21 mins ago

      ESR

  25. rjcv177
    5 years, 24 mins ago

    Good evening guys.
    Should i save?
    Ramsdale
    TAA, chilwel, cancelo, livra
    Salah, foden, saka
    Vardy, Jim, toney

    Foster, dias, townsend, brownhill

    A) save
    B) townsend to Gallagher
    C) dias to James/Duffy

    Thkx in adv

    1. shiraz
      5 years, 22 mins ago

      If you are not burning your ft, then save and roll it

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 20 mins ago

      None of those stand-out. If you're not sure probably a save.

    3. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 months ago

      C James

  26. Fulchester's New Centr…
    5 years, 16 mins ago

    Anyone bored enough to look at this?

    Raya / Foster
    TAA / Cancelo / Rudiger / Chilwell / Livra
    Salah / Son / Raph / Mbeumo / Brownhill
    Antonio / Vardy / 4.4
    2FT, 0.2 ITB

    Just change keeper and roll isn't it?

    1. Ray85
      5 years, 15 mins ago

      Yep, bye to Raya and roll.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        5 years, 14 mins ago

        Ta

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 14 mins ago

      Looks like best move is to replace Raya

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        5 years, 12 mins ago

        Thanks Dog. Leaning towards Guaita.

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 11 mins ago

      I’d do Rudiger to James

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        5 years, 9 mins ago

        Wow. Did not expect that. Can see the upside, but I'm far too dullard to try something like that. Thanks.

      2. Ray85
        5 years, 4 mins ago

        That was my move this week - probably a sideways move but that massive haul from James at the weekend made me pull the trigger. The Chilwell/James combo is a risk worth taking, but always good to save a couple of FTs for the IB.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          5 years, 1 min ago

          Thanks. 2 FTs always nice to have in the back pocket.

      3. MikeS
        5 years, 4 mins ago

        I did that myself

        1. You too? Feel a bit left out now.

          1. MikeS
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Yep.. price rises forced it. Rudigier still good.. nearly went for 3 Chelsea defenders but have mount

    4. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Raya to Ramsdale and Rudiger to James

  27. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 12 mins ago

    How annoying that it looks like James will rise tonight, wanted to wait until tomorrow to see if he comes out the champions league game unscathed

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 12 mins ago

      Bloody casuals and their early transfers

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 11 mins ago

      Think he'll be subbed off at 60 mins after a hattie so might as well go now

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 8 mins ago

        Haha I’m gonna have to do it, want him long term and have no other Chelsea defense

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 6 mins ago

      Don’t think he’ll rise, FPL price prediction sites have been overestimating e.g. Foden set to rise for 3+ days last week

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        4 years, 12 months ago

        If I wait and he does I’m completely priced out

      2. Ray85
        4 years, 12 months ago

        He's had half a mill new owners in the past couple of days...incoming rise looking likely!

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          4 years, 12 months ago

          He’s just got another one!

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Craziness. It’s like people never learned from Lukaku!

  28. MikeS
    5 years, 7 mins ago

    Mount to son next week?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 6 mins ago

      For free? Sure.

      1. MikeS
        5 years, 5 mins ago

        Yep.. just working out how I can fit him in

    2. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yes

  29. Bartowski
    5 years, 3 mins ago

    Should I do Cancelo to James? Already have Rudiger.

    1. Stupendous
      5 years ago

      Absolutely not.

      Cancelo is nailed and can haul v anyone.

      James is anything but nailed but obviously has haul power

      Just my thoughts

      1. Bartowski
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah just bored although Cancelo keeps making all these promises and then p*ssing in the wardrobe.

        1. Stupendous
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Cancelo is the 2nd highest def and would be no.1 without James hauling every few weeks.

          I can't take the cameos from James personally.

          Cancelo should outscore him long term unless James nails down a spot

          1. Bartowski
            4 years, 12 months ago

            True but he's only got me nine pts since I brought him in a month ago.

    2. I wouldn't but James-mania seems to be sweeping the boards

    3. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Do you have Chilwell? If you have, then do Rudiger to James. Else do Rudiger to Chilwell..

      1. Bartowski
        4 years, 12 months ago

        No I don't have Chilwell. Rudiger just seems guaranteed to start.

  30. Stupendous
    5 years, 1 min ago

    Sanchez
    Taa Cancelo Chilwell Livra
    Salah Raph Foden
    Toney Jesus Vardy

    Steer Gray Manquillo Sissoko

    I have 1 free and 1.9m itb

    Besides gray I can't see anything else pressing.

    Can I just bench and save the FT or shall I spend it and bring in ESR or Gallagher?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      4 years, 12 months ago

      ESR

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Actually, with your set up I prefer Gallagher

        1. Stupendous
          4 years, 12 months ago

          It would be the exact same just a like for like ESR/Gallagher

          I'm not following how the set up has anything to do with that

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            4 years, 12 months ago

            I understand that. Just personally would feel more comfortable with a Palace player as 1st sub/rotaion option.

            BUT, having said that, looking at it again, Livra/ESR rotation looks pretty good.

            1. Stupendous
              4 years, 12 months ago

              Aye! I fancy Esr livra rotation personally!

              1. Fulchester's New Centr…
                4 years, 12 months ago

                Make it so

                1. Stupendous
                  4 years, 12 months ago

                  Cheers pal!
