Dias + Maddison injury news as Nketiah stars for Arsenal: FPL notes

We round up the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from Sunday’s four Double Gameweek 36 fixtures in our Scout Notes summary.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-improving website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS AND BONUS

INJURIES AND BANS

Ruben Dias (£6.2m) limped off with a hamstring injury at half-time on Sunday, with Pep Guardiola revealing he will not play again this season, along with Kyle Walker (£5.4m) and John Stones (£5.2m).

“Ruben (Dias), Kyle (Walker) and John (Stones) are out until the end of the season. Next pre-season maybe they will be ready. (Ruben’s problem is) muscular. Not the same position, but hamstring. He has had a problem in his ankle for a long time.” – Pep Guardiola

And with Nathan Ake (£4.7m) also carrying a knock, they could be down to “three defenders” for their trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday.

“It happened in the game against Leeds. Still, he (Ake) has a little niggle and doesn’t feel comfortable. Maybe not (ready) for Wolves, but maybe for the next two.

We have Joao (Cancelo), Oleks (Zinchenko) and Aymeric (Laporte). Otherwise we have to play CJ (Egan-Riley) or Luke Mbete.

If Rodri has to play in that position, it is not a problem, or if we have to play someone from the Academy. We have 13 players available for these games. No more than that, plus Academy. 

When we do that, everyone has to do more to help our absences and the problem we have. It is what it is. We arrive with problems. Today we had three defenders in the second half.

Fernandinho played well against Callum Wilson. That’s what we have to do.” – Pep Guardiola

James Maddison (£6.9m) was missing from the Leicester City matchday squad because of a tight hamstring, although Brendan Rodgers did sound fairly optimistic about his chances for Wednesday.

The Foxes boss also issued updates on full-backs Ricardo Pereira (£5.2m) and James Justin (£4.9m), both of whom missed out.

“Hopefully James (Maddison) will be okay for Wednesday. Ricky (Pereira), it’s questionable if he will play over the next couple of weeks. JJ (Justin), you remember he fell on his shoulder at Roma, there’s a dislocation there. We have to see if he’s going to be able to play in any of the other games.” – Brendan Rodgers

Frank Lampard has revealed Yerry Mina (£4.9m) will have a scan on the calf problem he sustained in Sunday’s 2-1 victory at Leicester City on Monday, and says he is hopeful the issue which forced Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.9m) off midway through the second half was “just cramp”.

“Yerry had a small feeling in his calf. We don’t know (how bad it is yet). Hopefully it isn’t a tear. He felt it in his calf, so he had to come off. We’re hoping it’s not a high-level injury and we can keep him involved in the next two weeks. He will have a scan tomorrow (Monday).

With Myko (Mykolenko), we hope it was just cramp. It would be a result if that is the case.” – Frank Lampard

Three players also took a knock for West Ham United, although David Moyes didn’t seem to think they were too serious in the aftermath.

Mick’s (Antonio) got a bit of a knock on his hip. Dawson took one in the calf, and Said’s (Benrahma) could have been his ankle – I’ve not had the chance to see it yet – so hopefully they’ll all be okay. I don’t think they looked that serious.” – David Moyes

Bukayo Saka (£6.7m) is “fine” according to Mikel Arteta despite his 67th-minute withdrawal, while Ben White (£4.6m) has a chance to feature on Thursday.

“I think so, he’s started to do a little bit of work on the pitch and we want everyone available for that game because it’s so important. – Mikel Arteta on Ben White

Mathias Normann (£4.5m) missed out due to a thigh injury at Norwich City, while Luke Ayling (£4.3m) will miss the rest of Leeds United’s season after picking up a straight red card against Arsenal.

FPL TALKING POINTS

NKETIAH AT THE DOUBLE

The most-bought player for Double Gameweek 36, Eddie Nketiah (£5.5m), started his fifth successive Premier League match for Arsenal on Sunday, and responded to Mikel Arteta’s call by netting another brace.

The cut-price forward has now produced 29 points in his last four outings, posting team-leading totals for goal attempts (17), shots in the box (12), efforts on target (nine), big chances (four) and penalty box touches (26) in that time.

As for Arsenal, they will head into Thursday’s north London derby four points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, knowing a win will secure Champions League football for 2022/23.

“We know that and we have earned the right to play that game in that context. We started the season with nine or 10 players out and playing the best two teams in Europe. Winning any match is extremely difficult. We are going to prepare for the game as best as we can.” – Mikel Arteta on Thursday’s north London derby and knowing victory will seal a Champions League spot

However, despite conceding just three shots to Leeds United, they still failed to keep a clean sheet and have now gone seven top-flight matches without a shut-out.

MESLIER AND AYLING’S ERRORS

Leeds United edged closer to relegation on Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the Emirates.

And it was a first-half horror show which cost them, with ‘keeper Illan Meslier (£4.8m) gifting Nketiah his opener after he failed to control a backpass, before Luke Ayling was sent off for a reckless challenge after VAR intervention.

Worryingly, the Whites’ goal difference now stands at -35, compared to relegation rivals Burnley and Everton, who are on -17 and -19 respectively.

Their next game is at home to Chelsea on Wednesday, before they round off the season against Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford.

“I think we had a really bad start and dug a hole for ourselves which we didn’t need to. At half-time we talked about keeping our composure and treating the game like it was 0-0. That’s what we did. Obviously, we are in a difficult situation. We have now lost two right-backs for the season in two matches. We have to regroup and figure out what we can do. Our backs are against the wall. We are in the relegation zone but we have to fight for our lives. When I came here two months ago I knew this was not going to be easy. The group has stayed strong. Our second-half performance highlights the character of the people we have here. The fans and the support at this club is unreal. We want to put a performance on the pitch that honours that support.” – Jesse Marsch

In terms of their FPL assets, the two most popular – Raphinha (£6.3m) and Joe Gelhardt (£4.7m) – had days to forget for differing reasons. The Brazilian struggled to get into the game, was booked and then replaced in the second-half, while budget forward Gelhardt – making his first Premier League start since the reverse fixture against Arsenal in December – was sacrificed early in the wake of Ayling’s red card.

IN-FORM EVERTON

Everton will head to Watford in midweek on the back of successive Premier League wins, which has seen them move out of the relegation zone with a one-point safety cushion.

Despite having the worst away record in the top flight in 2021/22 with just one win and three draws from 16 games heading into Double Gameweek 36, the Toffees found a cure for their travel sickness at the King Power Stadium, as they registered a massive 2-1 victory.

Richarlison (£7.5m), who started despite soreness in his ankle, grabbed the assist for Mason Holgate’s (£4.2m) winner – his sixth attacking return in his last seven appearances – but it was undoubtedly Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) who was the star of the show, as he racked up six points despite conceding thanks to six saves and bonus.

“He’s in great form and he’s getting the recognition he rightly deserves. A couple of big saves for us and you need those top-level players to produce. I think we’re building confidence. At Goodison we’ve been great but the away form has held us back.” – Frank Lampard on Jordan Pickford

Mykolenko netted a stunning volley from the edge of the penalty area, his first goal since signing for Everton, and along with Pickford, Richarlison and Anthony Gordon (£4.7m), will be popular targets for Double Gameweek 37, especially for those on a Free Hit.

LEICESTER’S SET-PIECE WOES

Familiar problems were on show for Leicester City at the King Power on Sunday, as they conceded from a corner yet again.

Defending set plays has been a real problem for the Foxes throughout 2021/22: no side has allowed more chances to be created from dead-ball situations, while their expected goals conceded (xGC) tally from set plays is also a league-worst.

“The biggest disappointment was the corner. They had one corner in the game and to concede from that… I changed the system to try to put extra height into the team. We have lacked the profile of player. Today it wasn’t that, it was just sheer determination and the lack of that to defend the ball into the box. That’s on me, I need to keep looking at this year to try to make it right before the summer when we can do something about it.” – Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers’ side have had a difficult time of late and are winless in their seven most recent matches in all competitions.

They also look short of confidence and energy, which is an important factor to consider ahead of their Gameweek 37 double-header against Watford and Chelsea.

BRILLIANT BOWEN

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the impact of Jarrod Bowen (£6.8m) in FPL this season.

The winger supplied a trio of assists for the second time this season against Norwich City, having done so against Watford in Gameweek 20.

As a result, only Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Son Heung-min (£11.0m) have provided more attacking returns than the West Ham man in 2021/22, with his current Premier League tally standing at 10 goals and 17 assists.

Michail Antonio (£7.4m), meanwhile, netted his first Premier League goal since New Year’s Day, while Said Benrahma’s (£5.9m) brace of goals was a throwback to the start of the season, when he raced out of the blocks with four attacking returns in the opening two weeks.

CITY BOUNCE BACK

Man City shrugged off the disappointment of their Champions League semi-final exit by claiming a comfortable 5-0 win over Newcastle United.

The victory leaves them three points clear of Liverpool, with a now-superior goal difference and just three games remaining.

“We talked about that at half-time – the importance of the win. It could have been 3-1 (with a big Newcastle chance) and after we scored two goals at the end, there’s a big difference.” – Pep Guardiola on goal difference

Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m), Rodri (£5.5m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) scored in between Raheem Sterling (£10.5m) goals, although it was Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) – deployed in the left attacking channel for much of the game – who was undoubtedly the star performer.

Indeed, owners can count themselves a little unfortunate to end the game with six points, as the Belgian playmaker created three big chances for his team-mates, more than any other player in the Gameweek so far.

    Ederson
    TAA/Robo/Cancelo/Alonso
    Salah/KDB/Mount/Saka/Kulu
    Pukki

    1. Connor's Calling

      Might as well roll the dice on GW37 doubles no? I am!

    2. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      bar Pukki that team looks great for 38 so FH 37 and take a punt on likes of zaha, watkins etc for the double, without muddying up your squad for 38

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      FH

      Very similar team and 50/50 but gona go for it this week

  2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    BB didn't activate. 5 points so far 🙂

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Better than me!

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d love to know what I’ve made on BB over the years. If it averages over 6 points I’d be amazed. Always a disaster!

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      6 here 🙂

    4. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I have 9 points and three of the four get a second bite at the apple

  3. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Only 8 points so far from my BB; Pickford with 6 and Gordon with 2.

    And I have Matip, Bernardo and Tavares with zero minutes played. Typical.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      6

  4. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Bench Boosting GW1 next year, unless FPL HQ create a chip I can get excited about.

    1. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looks a good bet

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think I will be straight after WC

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      This season BB was an issue. But we really don't know what happens next season. Therefore I plan to be calm. (However, if I happen to have far too strong bench again any week, I may just simply play it.)

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Just do it on a week when you’ve got a benching headache methinks

    5. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      19 on the bench thus far. Wish I had a bench boost, lol :(.

  5. Josh.E
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    is white likely to play at spurs?

    1. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes, according to Arteta

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Arteta on Ben White's fitness:

      "I think so [he'll be available against Tottenham]. He's starting to do a little bit of work on the pitch. We want everyone available."

    3. Josh.E
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      thanks all, how about maddison?

      1. T88MYE
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Laporte first sub, hopefully bad news!

  6. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you FH this lot

    Schmeichel Foster
    Trent Laporte Cancelo Alonso Emerson
    Salah KdB Son Kulu Gordon
    Watkins Pukki Dennis?

    I mean the doubles aren't great but surely it's the week for the FH. Load up on Everton, Villa, Zaha etc... Probably only change 5/6 players at the end of the day. At the same time it hardly makes sense on the final week really

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      As above - surely might as well.

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’ve got a very similar team - and I’m rolling the dice on FH37

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably yeah

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah I think so but like you said not many changes. Your team is strong for 38 as well

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yep solid point and similar thinking, smoke em if ya got em seems to be the order

      Cheers guys

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    First possible Green Arrow in a LOOONNNNG time! 11 out of 13 reds before this! Hope it stays!

    Up to 2.8k 🙂

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Early transfer thoughts.
    A. Jesus to Rich
    B. Kulu to Zaha
    C. Both (-4)
    D. Other suggestion

    1FT 0.5ITB - No chips left
    Schmeichel
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte James
    Salah Saka Son Kulu
    Jesus
    (Steele Brownhill Gelhardt Greenwood)

  9. putana
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hoping for a high scoring NLD. Spurs obviously have to go for the win

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Considering teams don’t usually need to do much to score against Arsenal, they might focus on not conceding to be honest.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      1-2 Arsenal I reckon

      1. putana
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        cant see spurs only scoring one in a must win game against that arsenal defence

  10. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Early planning for next GW

    Lloris
    Robbo Laporte Mykolenko* Cash*
    Gordon Buendia KdB Son
    Iheanacho Jesus

    Krul Dennis Alonso Harrison

    Thinking -4
    Harrison + Lloris -> Pickford + Gallagher

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not a fan of those moves.

      Do you have enough to do jesus to rich and Harrison to Zaha

  11. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Dubravka (1), Raphinha (0), Adams (0) and Justin (0)

    Great week for me to BB

    Raph and Justin have one game left, but come on.

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      that's rough, it will be a gw1 BB for me again next season, got 11 pts doing it this year which is a haul compared to some i've seen in the dgw's 😆

  12. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you FH the below team in 37 or save for 38?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Laporte Sessegnon Mykolenko
    Salah Son Coutinho* Kulusevski
    Watkins Richarlison

    Bench: Ramsdale, Nketiah, James, Raphinha

    I’d probably do Coutinho to Zaha or Buendia and probably get a 6th DGW player for a hit if not free hitting.

  13. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Sch (foster)
    Taa can alonso (laporte taylor)
    mount madds salah son (gordon)
    Richar toney nketiah

    Will probably FH38, which?

    A) g2g, dont use the ft
    B) laporte to digne/mayko
    C) taylor to holgate/chambers/jonny
    D) mount/madds to saka/tross/zaha/buendia/kulu
    E) FH37

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Alonso apparently finished now. So may want to consider him to be transferred out

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Some bloke on twitter said he'd 'been told', some bloke told you (and is telling everyone), now you're telling everyone.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Ah, the wonders of the internet.

          1. Bennerman
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I'd say dangers, not wonders

              1. Bennerman
                • 5 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                That would make sense if you weren't the guy feverishly promulgating the rumour!

                1. Mr. O'Connell
                  • 11 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  It's a harmless rumour at least. By next deadline we'll know if it carries any weight (if he's not in the squad for the Leeds match or the Cup Final squad).

                  1. Bennerman
                    • 5 Years
                    1 year, 10 months ago

                    It's not harmless if people make decisions based on it, though – and it's not as though you are flagging it and saying 'this is just a rumour, some bloke on the internet'. You're saying 'he finished' etc.

                    We all have responsibility not to mislead, and to speak in good faith.

                    1. NorCal Villan
                      • 2 Years
                      1 year, 10 months ago

                      We all also have responsibility to make sure we are not mislead. Do your due diligence

  14. Connor's Calling

    GW37 FH attempt: zero cash to upgrade

    Pickford
    Cash Robertson Cancelo
    Son Coutinho Zaha Mahrez
    Kane Watkins Richarlson

    Steele Gordon Alt Nouri Tsimkas

    Worries = Mahrez punt, 2 x Villa attackers….

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Oh wow haha. What timing.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Source isn’t reliable at all, seems more like an educated guess and pretending to be ITK.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Well... We shall find out before next deadline. Unfortunately with my luck Alonso will get me only 1 pt this week and I have to ditch him for Digne and take -4 🙁

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Creating a story about bust up isn't likely imo. If there hadn't been one, the story teller would lose his credibility fast. For the trolls there are safer way to be "ITK" and have explanation ready if their guess isn't correct.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          The fact that he got subbed out in a 0-0 game at half time without any injury, coupled with Tuchel's statement on the matter, shows he is out of favour at the moment and it's already known that he is leaving the club at the end of the season. With the number of remaining games, it is likely he might not play again.

          So creating a story to pretend to be ITK is very likely in my opinion.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Will mean Cash/Digne ownership will go up a lot I guess!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good. They can join in the misery with the rest of is GW37 FHers.

  15. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any news on Alonso HT sub?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He's finished.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Check above^ This may cost me my top 10k finish this season.

  16. The-Red-1

        So who would you bench??

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          That's in the correct order IMO.

      Ask me again after NLD

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        True

  18. Willesden Mariner
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Zaha or Kulu or Trossard? in FH37

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zaha

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zaha

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zaha

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I am considering Zaha for -4. He has double and possible plum home game gw 38.

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zaha

  19. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Laporte gets a clean sheet and a goal but no bonus. KdB gets an assist and a YC and a bonus. Interesting.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Who was MOTM and why?

  20. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Current team be like;
    (w/ 2FTs left I feel its probs not worth using remaining FH chip until GW38 where I believe it will do more damage).
    -----------------------------------------------------
    KASPER
    Trent - Laporte - CASH - Emerson Royal - (Alonso)
    Salah(c) - Sonny(vc) - Foden - GORDON - (J.RAMSEY)
    Kane - Nketiah - (WEGHORST)
    -----------------------------------------------------
    If reports are to be believed... I can do;
    A). *Alonso & Weghorst OUT; HOLGATE & RICHARLISON IN.
    B). Try and fit Zaha in somewhere...
    C). Rip it all up and Free Hit.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That team with triple Spurs isn't bad for gw 38 and FH 37 might have big upside. Depends a lot whether you are chasing or protecting. That extra ft is only 4 pts after all. No need to hurry with the decision.

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yep, I can have a mini WC for -4 if needed. I am 47K, bug haven't been looking at ML tables tbh. maybe I should 😉 but what I have seen is that majority are using FH 37...

        I just wanted to be different and use on final GW as the upside of that is tremendous (I done so a few years back)
        cheers mate

  21. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Current FH team with 0.9 ITB.
    WIll likely change a chunk around before Sunday.

    Pickford
    Cash Digne Mykolenko
    Salah Diaz Son Zaha
    Richarlison Watkins Lukaku

    Fodder | Clyne, Tsimikas, Noble

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      With Mykolenko in your team ypu certainly will.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      ah the Lakaku lure

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I hope I can persuade myself. My rival is a Chelsea fan with Havertz in his team.

  22. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Now that Everton seem to have turned their form around, thoughts on Schmeichel to Pickford on free for 37?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If no pressing issues
      Schmeichel might get 2x CS with Watford and if Chelsea play Werner and Havertz up top

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Got Alonso & James too
        Might save FT too & then get kane on last day

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could be ok, no faith in Leicester

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    As I suspected , a bust up between Alonso and Tuchel at half time the reason he was substituted yesterday. Won't see him again this week.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yep, proper sources now talking about it
      1 point in a DGW vs. Wolves and Leeds and a forced transfer out, greeeeeaaaaattt

      https://twitter.com/Nathan_Gissing/status/1523418136690585601?cxt=HHwWgsCjnaquoqQqAAAA
      More: The feeling inside the dressing room is this could be Alonso’s final game in a #CFC shirt this season or maybe ever, with the Spaniard’s priority is to return to Spain this summer.
      Barça working on it & is seen as a possibility. Contacts between the agents & the club.

      Understand Marcos Alonso was subbed off at half-time against Wolves due to a bust-up between Tuchel.

      Sources tell me it was described as a “heated exchange”.

      Marcos’ priority is to leave Chelsea this summer with Barça working on it.

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years

      You were there?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        No , watched it on TV but spotted just before half time Alonso looking over to the bench as if he was getting a telling off by someone and then tearing off up the field trying to make amends. I posted this this morning as I felt Tuchel must have given him a rollocking . Obviously spilled over into half time then.

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

      Simply sums up this season.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Damnit, out for FH anyways

  24. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Vardy (c) too risky? Chasing 40 points and opponent has FH.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      They have another game to play yet

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yeah he won't start 2 games, and knowing Rodgers he will probably save him for the Chelsea game

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not sure I'd risk em

  25. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Of all the defenders to pick on a FH it had to be Mina hadn't it?

    And of the two keepers Pickford or Schmeichel I had to pick the latter hadn't I.

    Yep I sure did.

    1. putana
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      mina pick really unlucky considering the cheaper option holgate scored

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      story of the 50/50 decision season

  26. putana
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    really unlucky for alonso owners. Thought he was a great pick this week and would have brought in if I could afford it

  27. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Not sure about FH37 now. 20 points ahead of rival and only players i'm worried about are Son and Richarlison. FH 37 or 38? Current team below.

    Schmeichel*
    TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Cash*
    Salah, KDB, Saka, Kulu, KDH*
    Watkins*

    Foster, Alonso, Nketiah, Pukki

  28. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    This feels like a tasty FH? Any obvious changes?

    Martinez
    Robbo/Cash/Coleman
    KDB/ Salah/ Son/ Zaha/ Gordon
    Watkins/ Rich

    Guita/ Mitchell/ Nketiah/ Davies

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      All the hits I like maybe coleman for other

      1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, he’s the one I don’t love - don’t know who the best Everton defender pick is?

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Prob go for Pickford with the saves and invest in cash/digne

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm not sure why KDB's so popular on a FH tbh
      I think Gordon is BB player at best. On a FH, you can probably do better by downgrading the bench and moving things around.
      Why Coleman over Myk, out of interest?

      1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        All good questions. Have changed to Pickford with Digne.

        KDB just because of his performance today and being out of other comps.

        Struggling for a better option that Gordon. Can spend another mill but can’t see good options?

  29. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    On this day 12 years ago I was ranked 17th in FPL, only one direction from those highs 😆

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Wow. My best was 780 a few years ago. Again long way down since..

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good while it lasted, I think I finished 127 that year. Glory days!
