    Scout Picks going hard with the bench boost

  2. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle 7 clean sheets in the last 9 games.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mad that I've still only got Trippier when I think about it

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.

        I think Kepa/Ward will prove to be a decent combo but given budget isn’t really an issue this season i rue ditching Pope during the break.

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. Double up wiuld be green arrows every week.

  3. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rank these best to worst as fpl assets for next 5 or so gameweeks:
    A) Salah
    B) KDB
    C) Kane
    D) Darwin

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B, C, D, A in my opinion. A and D are close calls, but D is slightly ahead due to purchase price.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kdb
      Kane
      Darwin
      Salah

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      BCDA

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C: The only consistent premium after Haaland

      A: Gakpo is here, so some of the creativity burden should be off his back

      B: Great player, looking somewhat off it. This could change with just the Chelsea game. Could be ahead of Salah if you don't think Gakpo + Robbo starting makes much of a difference

      D: Nothing will change his accuracy issue any time soon. Might even be rotated when Firmino returns

  4. Please Help I Don't Kn…

    If you consider Man Utd conceded half their goals (10) in two games (City and Brentford), it does show how solid Ten Hag has made them this season in comparison to last.

    1. FCRS1991
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I've benefitted off of having Shaw since the restart...but I wouldn't praise yet until we see how they perform vs the big boys in the next few GWs

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Dalot Shaw worth considering as United do look better defensively and have double coming up ( would give me Rashford Shaw Dalot)

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think so after City and Arsenal.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe, but I prefer the fixture + DGW rotation from this backline:

      Trippier Schar Akanji White Shaw

      Dalot over Akanji is the closest there, maybe due to attacking threat

  6. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Feel for van de beek - finally got his second start then a horrid injury, guy was in buckets 🙁

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did he break anything?

      1. NZREDS
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yet to be confirmed, looked like his leg almost snapped though so not looking pretty

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          🙁

      2. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Possibly knee ligaments

  7. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any info on why Andreas subbed?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really not sure but i really need him start next game. He is my capt):

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Likewise!

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Leicester were bossing the game at that point. Cairney better defensively I guess.

  8. FCRS1991
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    47 with Kane, Haaland, KDB, Walker (if he doesnt play>White subs in with 7 pts) and Andreas to go.

    Captained Mitro and went from being ecstatic to despair after the yellow card.
    From possible 18 and a game to go to 10...FML, could've made a bigger gap in the ML.

    What are the predictions for Haaland vs CHE?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland blank. Chelsea win 1-0

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland hatty.

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, Mitrovic is stupid. Didn’t need to shout in the refs face like that, let alone make the tackle.

      Need to accept that Haaland will at least score a goal.

    4. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brace plus 3 bonus in a 2-1 win

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This but 3 1

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      0-0
      Kepa Haaland penalty save

  9. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I know its a week for sitting on hands, but Darwin & Mount to Mitro and Kev de Blank for free looks the obvious move so far this week, what with the clock being reset on Mitro's YCs and the likely competition up front at LFC now that Gakpo is on board and Bobby is nearly back (and the fact that Darwin still couldn't hit the arsend of a cow with a banjo if you gave him all week)

    1. FCRS1991
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely! Had Darwin since the restart and regretted it. Lost 0.5M on Mitro's value in the process.

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      LOL arsend of a cow with a banjo

  10. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A word on Kane: Spurs haven't looked great for most of the season. Remember the Conte-Tuchel match? That was GW2. Son still has 3 goals, all from one game. Kulu has missed matches due to injury. There's no clear source of creativity

    Kane has had 13 goals and 3 assists so far. He's their entire attack, and he's outscoring premiums from better-performing teams

    This hasn't changed for a long time now

    1. teknicolourfox
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Far from essential at his price point, thats the issue for me

      1
      8
      11
      7
      2

      For 11.6m?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Who's essential at his price point, after Haaland? Who's the more consistent second premium?

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          At that price point, nobody is essential except Haaland.

          I don't need a second premium, I need players who score points. Newcastle defenders, Arsenal and Brighton mids, Rashford, Toney, etc.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I was comparing him to other premiums. If he's a hard reach and you can't afford a second premium this season, that's fine

            But if you can afford a second premium, he's the second-best striker in the game, so he's ahead of everybody bar Haaland for that spot in the team

            Toney and Mitro come close, but Toney has that looming ban. So it's likely a 3-5-2 if you're going without Kane, and that's fine... Unless one of your 5 mids is a premium, which is where my point comes in

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Just in case it needs to be said: he also has more points than everybody bar Trippier and Haaland, in a season where Spurs have barely ever looked great. I'm just saying that the situations which led to his points for half a season haven't changed much now. It's just more discussed because more people own him now

              The effect of watching an asset more closely

              1. banskt
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                I understand your point. And I agree.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs had the best front 3 in the league at the end of last season, thought they would be up there this season. Dunno what happened to Son

      1. teknicolourfox
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly this. Son has been a permanent in my FPL for as long as I can remember, this is the first season I had him and quickly sold.

  11. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 frees and nothing to do with them (yet!)

    Patterson to Zanka?

    Brentford have Doubles?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mee

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nice idea but I'm looking to keep change in bank
        Checking now

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad shout. Is he ahead of Jansson and Ajer in the pecking order now?

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He has 90 mins a few in a row

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitro cappers - would you change for Haaland given the chance?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Given he would just need a single assist to match Mitro, I don't think many wouldn't twist!

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A haaland brace woul shake up the overall. The way the season has turned out a blank would be typical though.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you not? You’d get to watch the match knowing you gain actual rank from owning Haaland for once.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Right now yes but I think overall my James Martial to Shaw Mitrovic moves may work out ok as long as Haaland restricted to 1 return

    4. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, how often has Haaland failed to score 5 or more?

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I see a lot of negative Patterson comments- setting aside that plays for Everton who are dreadful did he pick up injury?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The plays for Everton part is enough for me

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I know but unless injured can stay 3rd on my bench for hopefully 1 point if ever needed

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          1 point is about it from him these days. His whole season looks like binary code. I'd rather have 0 points than have an interest in this Everton team (speaking as a soon to be ex-owner)

          1. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Where will you switch to ?

            1. FCHaalandaise
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Brentford def

            2. Yes Ndidi
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Money's not an issue, so probably Botman and leave Perraud 3rd bench.
              I know Southampton and all that, but Perraud does have OK fixtures, and is currently on double Patterson's points from roughly the same minutes

    2. HODGE
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah could be 4-6 weeks out by the sound of it

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench?

    A) DDG (MCI)
    B) Ward (nfo)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ddg looks obvious

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah looks obvious but Forest are pretty good at home and Leicester are woeful while Man Utd are look more solid defensively and Man City less of threat.

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Beyond looking obvious, I think DDG can get more save points than Ward. I do not expect either to keep clean sheets.

        1. MBK 42
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agree, I’d play DDG

  15. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    why should a yellow card effect someone's bonus points? Im guessing you get negative points for a foul so why not just leave it at that?

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Because a YC indicates an especially egregious foul that’s worthy of further sanction

      1. putana
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        well that's not true. you can get a yellow for sometrhing very minimal like talking back or time wasting

  16. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which combination would you rather have for the next 5 gameweeks?

    A. Salah, Foden, Darwin
    B. Martinelli, KDB, Kane

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years

        Thanks.

    2. MBK 42

      B

      1. banskt

        Thanks.

    3. Casual Player

      B

  17. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Evan Ferguson anyone?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted to switch to 3-5-2 but I didn't because of lack of benching options among forwards. Evan Ferguson will force me to do the switch.

  18. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a timeframe for decision on possible Toney ban ?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Has until tomorrow to respond so hopefully we’ll get some clarity after that?

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I will probably buy him regardless. I can always sell if he gets banned.

  19. Moneymar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Shaw (vs City) or White (vs Spurs)?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw for attacking returns

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      White

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Want to do Andreas > Mitoma but a bit concerned of what happens to when Mac Allister returns…

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why sell andreas?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Because their fixtures are taking a turn for the worse, I have lots of money ITB and there are better options.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma is a winger, Mac Allister is a CDN who will come in for groß

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He played as a winger in WC. Talks of him moving to that position in Brighton too.

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In the same boat. I am looking to invest in Brighton attackers before the Liverpool game, but not sure who to bring in. When is Mac Allister coming back? Ferguson also looked lively -- could even do Mitrovic to Ferguson.

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else somehow own Walker and not sure what to do with him? Can't see him starting both - or even any :/

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Me… still start him this week. No clue what to do with him next week

  22. Taegugk Warrior
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Time to kick darwin…?
    Darwin to martial..?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ahead of City away (granted they will probably score).

      Then arsenal.

      Nah. Hold for now.

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Feels entirely sideways

  23. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    My Bruno captain outscoring Mitro has made my gw haha phewww

  24. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A Stick with Akanji for DGW

    B. Use 2 frees to bring in Cancelo???

    Assuming he is back starting that is

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see game tomorrow and cup game- don’t rush into move. My feeling is stick with Akanji and use transfer in attack

    2. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don't reckon Cancelo is worth it at his price, even if he's nailed.

    3. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both

      Scared the DGW could be a Cancelo 40 pt job

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That would require a guy who is currently not in their starting XI to play both games and get more attacking returns in those 2 games than he did in the entire season up to the World Cup.

  25. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Let's start the new hot topic: Martial replacements

    Kane: maybe double gwk20 but v tough opposition with ARS and mci, 13g 3a already and on good form 3g and 1a in last 4 games , scored on his return from WC, so even v this tough opposition I can see him scoring well, let's see how he performs tomorrow, one worry is he is on 4 yc. After gwk20 his fixtures look great to gwk31, only tough fixture MCI gwk22. Great long term pick.

    Darwin: Darwin Darwin Darwin, I know how frustrating he has been to own, but his stats and fixtures are very good upto gwk28, next 5 are bha, CHE, wol, EVE, new. He reminds me of Salah when he first came, 9 shots to get a goal, but always in the right place at right time, the goals were bound to start flying in and you know how that story went, he also has two doubles to fit in, good price at 8.9 I feel and at 15% ownership he is a abit of a differential. 5g 3a

    Havertz: Chelsea top scorer since Potter arrived , seems nailed on in that Chelsea team , albeit a Chelsea team that looks really poor at the moment, but they have a good chance to start stringing some wins together starting with Fulham, then this is followed by CRY, liv, FUL, whu, SOU in the next 5. 4g 1a

    Wilson: Injury prone I know, but if he can keep his fitness, he can be profilic in scoring points, with 6g and 3a in 13 appearances, with a highest score of 19 v Villa at home. Newcastle have great fixtures in the next 6 with FUL, cry, WHU, bou, LIV BHA. Has a double v whu to fit in to.

    Nketiah: on good form with 2g in last 3 games, the fixtures are a mixed bag in the next 5 with tot, MUN, eve, BRE, MCI and maybe EVE thrown in for a double somewhere. I see tight games v MUN and MCI, but goals in the rest of the games and Arsenal are flying, only worry is return of Jesus (expected back Feb 04, gwk22, eve)

    Thanks for ready 🙂

      My view:

      1. Kane top option if money is no object, and with how FPL is playing out, it might not be. Clear 2nd best FWD

      2. Nketiah - Potential 6 games in 4GWs for league leaders hard to ignore

      3. Darwin - the xG! I think in 12 months he's one of the stars of the league. Or looking for a transfer to Spain/Italy/elsewhere. There is no middle ground. It's a scary ride but worthwhile IMO

      4/5. Wilson/Havertz - not for me. Probably like Mitro, Toney (if not banned) more. Wilson not as talismanic this season IMO.

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Will be funny tho if Kane gets a yellow next up and therefore can't play both games in a DGW20

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just fate isn't it lol

        2. Jengkreng
          • 3 Years

          Toney look good fixtures

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Kane and Darwin are my favourites, I added the other 3 because they have their own merits and potential for purple patches. Most own Mitrovic I think so didn't add him

    4. Sun Jihai

      Toney if fit and not banned? 4 goals in last 3 games, BOU, LEE, SOU in next 3

      Wonder if Alvarez gets any starts - the double up with Haaland could be good if he continues his WC form and bearing in mind the Man City mids are underwhelming (Foden benched, KDB expensive)

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Toney would of been on the list but we need to see what happens with the law. Alvarez is a great punt for double 20

    Decided to still get Martinelli instead of the differential Mitoma. Martinelli's stats against the league's best defence today were phenomenal. I'll admire Mitoma and get him if I need to replace someone

      Brighton has better fixtures than Arsenal. Much better.

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Counterpoint: Arsenal are league leaders while Brighton are a top 10 team.

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I agree. I actually want to have both Arsenal and Brighton mids.

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You're contributing to my point here: "Martinelli's stats against the league's best defence today..."

        Not worth the risk of going without him. I'll get Mitoma if a spot opens up in my team

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years

          Mitoma scored vs THE best defence in the league this weekend.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I see Newcastle as a stronger defence than Arsenal, but that's not an argument worth getting into because it depends on which particular stat you're using, and that's fine

            Again, I consider Mitoma a good option. I'm prioritizing Martinelli because of his better stats at the moment, along with the fact that he plays for the league's top team and also poses a rather considerable threat to my rank with upcoming doubles. That could change later, or another spot will open up in my team. Just not worth the OR risk, in this season where one decision can lead to a 15-point swing before the chance to correct it

            1. banskt
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Who are the five best midfielders that you want in an ideal team for the next five gameweeks? Regardless of price.

              I think I would go with Martinelli, Odegaard, Almiron, Rashford and Mitoma.

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Agreed. With Andreas to Mart, I'll have that midfield with Salah over Mitoma

                I have Haaland - Kane - Salah, so I want to keep the threemium setup for a while and see how it goes

                I consider Gakpo a huge positive for Salah's prospects, but maybe that's the Liverpool fan in me hoping that Darwin stops being the focal point soon. Mitoma might outscore Salah, but I'll just watch what happens for now

                1. banskt
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  None of us have the crystal ball. So, who knows who will score more? Good luck with whoever you choose!

                  What do you think of Gakpo himself as a FPL option?

                  1. Ze_Austin
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Exactly. It's more of a risk thing with Mart and Salah. I have to be sure I don't want them before I go for shiny new differentials

                    Gakpo is a wait-and-see for me, as usual with new guys in FPL. I think (or hope?) he'll be a Bruno Fernandes kind of January signing with immediate impact. Love the lad

                    1. banskt
                      • 12 Years
                      3 years, 1 month ago

                      Thanks. Gakpo is a great player indeed. I am curious to see how he performs in the new circumstances.

                      (There are different types of management styles: I don't care about "risks", but I choose players who I think will return more points in the future.)

                      1. Ze_Austin
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 1 month ago

                        Just to clarify: if I was *sure* Mitoma would outscore Martinelli or Salah, I'd have chosen him over them. Ownership is just a tiebreaker here, as FPL is a rank-based game

                      2. banskt
                        • 12 Years
                        3 years, 1 month ago

                        And to clarify myself: we don't have the crystal balls. So, we can never be *sure* who will outscore whom -- its all about what *I think*. Right now, if I think Mitoma will outscore Salah, I will sell Salah to buy Mitoma. I don't care about ownership or price. Next week, I may think something else and will act accordingly. Its all about what *I think*. There's nothing right or wrong in this game.

                        (Sidenote: I am more conservative with captaincy choice. I wouldn't captain anyone bar Haaland unless absolutely forced.)

                        And, every manager thinks differently. That's what makes the game so interesting.

    Which Brighton attacker to buy before their sea of green fixtures starting from GW20? Looking for ideas and suggestions.

    I have only 1 FT, so could afford only 1 player. Money not an issue, but 'who-to-sell' is an issue.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma looks the one

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Do you think he is a better option than Trossard?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          By a mile. If he was 9m he’d have +30% ownership by now.

          1. banskt
            • 12 Years

            Great. Thanks for the reassurance.

        Not march?

      Mitoma looks great
      Can see him becoming a bandwagon once the content creators get on board come GW21/22

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Is there any particular reason to wait for 21/22? Fixtures turn in 20: vs Liverpool at home.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's not a bad fixture for sure, I just mean the content creators will probably focus on DGW players this week e.g. sHoUlD YoU GeT KaNe oR De bRuYnE?!?! and then BHA's fixture run (which may have a double in or not) will get more attention I imagine. Moving early doesn't seem a bad idea!

          1. banskt
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Now, I understand. Thanks for explaining.

            I already have Kane, Haaland, KdB, Cancelo and also Rashford, Shaw if they double. So, I have the luxury of getting Brighton attackers. Assuming there are no injuries or other unforeseen events before the deadline for GW20.

    3. Ruinenlust

    Botman or schar? ..to pair with trippier..newcastle look solid at back

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Botman because he's cheaper

      1. Jengkreng
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep..just schar more attacking threat i think

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bit more threat to

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Schar has more attacking threat so him if you can afford but both good picks.

  30. Bobby Digital

    What do you guys think of Perisic or Doherty for the DGW?

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think Spurs are terrible so no

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at Perisic, but Spurs are shakey at best, but attacking potential there

    3. Jengkreng
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      With Current spurs form...look very unlikely spurs to get cleansheet

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not really passed the audition so far with both getting 2 points in total in both games post restart!
      Perisic always looks very advanced when I watch him, but Sessegnon is back now I think so minutes situation not great for a DGW

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs play against the top two teams in the league. I would only consider their attackers for the DGW.

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Nope

    7. Bobby Digital

      Yea might be wise to steer clear of the Spurs defense. Cheers all!
