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.

    Cash mykelenko laporte (tsimikas) (sessengon)
    Son coutinho kdb zaha (brownhill)
    Kane watkins richarilson

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

      Two Citeh away to West Ham. Is this a good idea?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        KDB is always a good idea. Laporte maybe less so if starting alongside an academy kid

  2. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Nearly did Laporte to Alonso (-4) because they said he was cramping lol… What a narrow escape

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      😀

  3. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH37, 0.4 ITB

    Martinez
    Holgate Guehi Digne
    Zaha Gallagher Son Salah
    Watkins(c) Richarlison Kane
    Stele Gordon Collins Tsimikas

    Any suggestions?
    PS: Suffering from low TV

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

      Not concerned that Guéhi is flagged?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes concerned. Any alternate suggestions? Thanks

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      To Harmison or Zaha for the armband

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        *Richarlison

        1. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Makes sense, thanks

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      There's more fun Palace picks than Gallagher imo. I'm tempted by Olise

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes, he's on the radar. Think he'll start both GW37 matches?
        Thanks

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Pingissimus dropped by yesterday for a quick Palace chat & reckons Olise will start both. Think Vieira has signalled rotatation but the younger guys like Olise are likely to get more gametime with an eye on next year

          1. Mozumbus
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Thanks a bunch for the insight. Was already tempted, so I think will make the change right away.

  4. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH37 v FH38

    I was on the fence about this, but think that while the upsides are relatively similar, the downside of FH38 is far higher due to the lack of doubles. I understand that cup finals and recent European games have had an impact this week, but if it were a SGW then owners of Mount, Bilva, Maddy (and, I’m sure, some others) would be in the dirt.

    For me, maximise players in 37 and then ride the same risk of rotation as the rest of the FPL world in 38

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Add Mahrez to the list (someone who could well be fancied for a FH team)

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        he is probably going to start vs Villa as well

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      but how much are you really maximizing on your current 37 team?

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I’ll be starting five of my current team after playing FH. Whereas I think I’ve got two, max three changes I’d like to make for GW38 (assuming no reds/injuries)

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No dgw'ers really catch my attention this week, other than Zaha who I already have. So I am really undecided whether or not to play the FH this week or next, this week seems 'safer' just because you never know what GW38 brings which means on the flip side it's also more fun

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        That’s my reasoning exactly. For me, I’m not overly keen on the city and Liverpool triple and chelsea double this week. But I’m willing to roll the dice on that for the final week.

        I agree about the fun, but I think I’ll be going for the safer option (on paper)

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          not keen on Liverpool triple vs Saints, umm...

    4. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Fh 38 for the fun

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

        Two free xfers this week, Will bring in Zaha and Son. FH gw 38.

  5. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Sa
    Robertson | Rudiger | Coady
    Salah | Son | Kulu | Gordon
    Kane | Watkins | Weghorst

    Dub | Saka | White | Schar

    1FT, 0.3 ITB

    Hiwbto improve this? Rudiger => Cash?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sounds decent, Ake (if he gets the all clear) or Zinchenko as alternatives

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

      Rudiger could benefit from set piece crosses against Leicester

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

    How's this first draft FH 37 team? Maybe more single game players?

    Pickford

    Cash / Robbo / Digne

    Zaha / Gordon / Son / Mane

    Richarlison / Watkins / Kane

    Schmeichel / Andersen / Clyne / Tielemens

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pretty much what I'm on at the moment, except Gordon - Olise, Mane - Jota (pending FA Cup lineups) & Kane - KDB

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks, I was thinking maybe add Jota, like you say need to wait for FA Cup Final. Not sure on Kane eiher.

        Are you not worried for Olise minutes?

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years

          See above comment to Mozumbus

  7. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you FH37 or 38 ?

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

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      37

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

      37, but you'll likely be taking a hit on the final day to remove Alonso and Pukki.

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        that depends on the bench

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sounds right, cheers

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years

      Looks like you used your FT Mount > Zaha already so you're GTG

  10. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Punting on city mids can be so frustrating yet so rewarding at times

    Ive been at the wrong end most of the time. Owned Bilva and Foden at wrong times. One week punts on likes of Mahrez and Sterling hasn't worked out. KDB is too expensive.

    Thing is city attack is so good that you always get drawn in to one of their mids

    Is it worth suffering again next season?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      KDB set and forget, Foden perhaps.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      At the moment I feel like going for anyone other than KDB or Foden is too much hassle. If you're quick & lucky you can jump on the short-term form of someone like Jesus, or if injuries render someone more nailed you can get a similar short run out of someone like Gundogan. But KDB is by far the best & safest option

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Think Foden could be a set and forget option next season as he's clearly first choice. Would probably come around 9m.

        If Haaland joins would be difficult to fit in a city mid though

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      always a waste of time for me since Yaya Toure and Silva left.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        When Yaya had his phenomenal FPL season i opted for Dilva for most of season. Even then i had the wrong city mid 😀

    4. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That’s the beauty with Cancelo, it’s basically like having a City defender and midfielder in one!

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Over the entire season Cancelo has been great. But i feel like he could have had more attacking returns over last couple of months if he had better finishing

        He has only 3 assists in last 16 gws . Considering the positions he get should have more returns i feel

        1. Baby Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yes - next season I think he will be even better, problem is everyone will probably start with him.

  11. Shultan
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    So annoyed I picked dias over laporte due to laporte cramping Up in CL extra time 🙁
    Was planning on laporte as 2nd defender

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I ignored the jibber jabber and held Laporte. But I also held Luke ‘Minus Three Points’ Ayling.

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

        I went and got Mina, the only defender that didn't score and got injured for good measure.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Really unlucky. That Holgate goal could easily have been Mina's

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    For GW37

    A) Salah, KDB
    B) Son, KDB
    C) Salah, Son

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C

  13. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Vardy for FH37?

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I reckon Vardy plays Norwich, rests against Watford, and plays Chelsea

  14. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Still really annoyed I did Laporte + Nketiah (4-4-2) to Matip + Dias (5-4-1) :S

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      What where you thinking? Cant say Hindsight on this one. Laporte and Nketiah were definitely the better option to own

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years

        Nketiah definitely yes.
        Laporte or Dias it was a 50-50 decision since Dias was the only fit RCB available at that time

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Dias has just recently returned from an injury so his minutes would have been managed anyway. Laporte has been a constant for city all season

    Was the Maddison injury known pre-deadline? I think I need my head reading for taking out Bowen for Saka and keeping Madisson 😆

      Bowen out against Norwich? Lesson learned the hard way

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Total brain fart, I'm owning it.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years

          not really a hindsight thing

          1. tokara
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            will u get Wolves against Norwich?

      Maddi's had on ongoing hip issue that he's been playing through. Some might have been a bit wary of him playing twice in a week butbhe wasnt definitely ruled out of Everton afaik

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thank you, so the signs were missed but at least no concrete info. Live and learn.

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      Maddison should be back on Wednesday and could match Bowen v Norwich

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH 37 or 38? Thinking 38 atm. 0 FT, 0 itb

    Pope*
    TAA Cancelo James Cash*
    Salah Son Zaha* Gordon*
    Watkins* Vydra*

    (Kasper* Robbo Martinelli Eddie)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Lets go with 38 but please dont start Vydra over Robertson!

  18. The Mentaculus

    Anyone concerned Everton's defence is going to fall apart again without Mina? How important do you think he's been to their recent solidity?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No idea. Just think they are a different beast at home

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pickford got 6 without a cs so not concerned

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes glad i got pickford in. he can easily get 3-4 points from save points alone over dgw37. everton seems to condede many shots

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Oh hang on, I've just seen the defending for Daka's goal... that's the end of thinking about adding a defender to go with Pickford

    4. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I guess Everton proved they can get by without Mina, conceding zero goals after his 18th minute substitution Vs away at Leicester

  19. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Better option for GW37 only?

    A) Mane & TAA (sou)
    B) Salah & Cancelo (whu)

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    3. _Gunner

    4. yeahbuddy

  20. Dynamic Duos

    Rich or Watkins (c)?

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Richa

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I would go Rich.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Watkins

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Watkins. Fancy villa attack more

  21. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Salah or Mane for GW 37 (on a free hit)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      S

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah is due a big haul

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If Mane is rested against Villa midweek im tempted to go for him. He loves scoring against his former club as well.

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

        No he doesn't - rather the reverse

        Checked it out. 2 goals in 9 games is what I found

  22. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Hi All,

    Does anyone know why Guaita was benched ?

    Is he expected to play the next game?

  23. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    About FH37:

    1. Which premiums are you getting? Thinking Son+ Pool mid + Kane/second Pool mid?

    2. Thoughts on Lei? Worth considering anyone from them? Daka?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If I was FHing, Salah-Mane-Son-Kane would be my premiums

      Tough to pick one but if Maddison is passed fit, then he is worth a shot

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        4 premiums is impossible tbh if you want a reasonable rest of the team

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Haha I have 4 premiums in my regular team! With Cancelo, Saka, James etc. so I'm sure it can work with cheap Eve/Avl/Cry assets

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          pretty easy this week if you are willing to roll with cheap DGWers. Got to chase the upside with Liverpool mids and Spurs assets, its your final shot at significant rank improvement.

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Just probably don't rate Kane as good value after all

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Son & KDB stay in for me. Probably just one Liverpool mid - Jota/Mané depending on mins in preceding games.

      I would really like a Leicester fwd/mid for those fixtures but haven't narrowed it down yet

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I am thinking Salah, Mane, Son + 2 mid prices in Foden & Zaha

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      High ownership premiums Trent, Son, James, Salah, Cancelo + high upside doublers everywhere else

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

      Think I'd go triple Liverpool defence with VVD and Robbo and KdB and Son

      Southampton are beyond awful but picking the right Liverpool attack is getting close to City territory. Three clean sheets with heaps of attaching returns there. VVD is overdue.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        hopefully he remains overdue for 1 more week

  24. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Its very obvious that Conte will sign a new RB to play RWB next season for spurs with Emerson not good enough. (to compete with Doherty)

    Keep an eye for Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Could come in with Conte's Italian links

    He's got great attacking returns in Serie A over last 3-4 seasons. Could be fantasy Gold.

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Royal is bad.......

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah modern fullbacks or wingbacks need end product and im afraid royal hasnt got it. Was decent against liverpool yesterday though defensively

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Conte will leave Spurs

    3. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes - another shout could be that Danish guy Maehle I think it is, he is great!

      1. Baby Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Though he might be a LWB

      2. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah he was a joy to watch at the Euros, would be good to see him in PL

  25. Prinzhorn
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I have White and Guéhi. They seem to be my biggest worries atm. Both fit for next GW or get rid?

    1. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      10.5

    2. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years

      11.5m

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

      Must have or wait and see how he adapts to EPL

  26. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How is this FH bus team?

    Pickford (3,9m)
    Robbo Cancelo Cash (Tsmikas Amartey)
    Salah KdB Son Zaha Gordon
    Watkins Richarlison (Gelhardt)

    Thanks

  27. OptimusBlack

    Who are players should have in ur team for GW 37 but don't have DGW ?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Usual suspects from City, Liverpool, Spurs. Unless you want to punt on Wolves attack v Norwich..?

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Richarlison. Need to take a hit to get him in while I can get Zaha for free.

      Need a -8 to own both which is not worth it when i already have a pretty strong starting xi with emerson royal and nketiah aleady benched

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        or read the question wrong.

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          NVM

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Liverpool players

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

      A Spurs

  28. Baby Bowen
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you FH in 37 or 38?

    Current team:

    Schmeichel
    Trent | Robertson | Cancelo
    Salah | Son | Kulusevski | Gordon
    Kane | Pukki | Nketiah

    Bachmann | Amartey | Ramsey | Schar

    1FT, 0ITB

    Is this a good move?

    KDB, Mount, Pukki > Son, Zaha, Richarlison for -4?
