More midweek football to muddy the waters ahead of the weekend’s Premier League action, with teams looking to bounce back from disappointing cup exits.

In the 12:30pm kick-off, both Aston Villa and Brighton will be aiming to carry their strong early season league form forward as they push for more European football next year with Ollie Watkins and Kaoru Mitoma once again likely to be leading the charge. With Watkins averaging just over five points per Gameweek and Kaoru Mitoma clearing six points per Gameweek, Smarkets give the slight edge to the Brighton man in the head-to-head market.

In the marquee match-up for the week on Saturday evening, Liverpool head to London in another test for Ange and his team to prove this early-season renaissance is not a false dawn. James Maddison has been the fresh addition to the team but it’s Son Heung-min we’re looking towards to lead Spurs forward against a Liverpool defence that has been open so far. Over 6.5 points for Son is currently available at 2.5, while Mo Salah is available to get 7.5 points at 2.4.

With a nod to the schedulers, we have last season’s top four all playing in the traditional 3:00pm slot. While we’re all watching our local teams, managers will be cheering Bruno, Haaland and Saka on as they drive teams to success. After the midweek success against Palace might it be the time to back one of Manchester United’s leading men as captain? In the head-to-head market, Bruno and Rashford can barely be split. 

Elsewhere, there’s the usual market on Erling Haaland to lead the scoring. Averaging 8.5 points per Gameweek so far, you can back him to reach that standard or go beyond this with two goal involvements if you think he’ll help continue the early seasons struggles at Wolves with 9.5 points available at 3.75 (11/4).

    Play Saka or Mitoma

    1. Sospeter
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mitoma obviously

  2. InSearchOfGreenArrows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Second post!!

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbeumo?

  3. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure what to do now. Start Saka who's a slight doubt or Mbuemo

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's a tough one. I'd probably start Saka though

    2. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah saka, surely if he’s fit to play he starts

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'm on atm

    3. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks pretty obvious to me, Saka

  4. Viper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I done Saka -> Son last night to avoid the 0.2m swing and now that neither moved it seems a silly move.

    I should have done Pedro -> Morris & benched Mbeumo instead.

    Let's see what happens in terms of points

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Going into a GW regretting your moves is never a good place to be

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rookie error. Don't be too hard on yourself mate

  5. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any of these worth a -4?

    A) Mbuemo > Diaby
    B) Eze > JWP/Gordon

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

  6. jammie26
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Botman, Saka, Son and Madds all flagged along with Saliba on my bench.

    Which of these will play iyo?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon they'll all play

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This

  7. Rbyrne95
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Help please. Saka, Botman, Chillwell, Gusto, Son all flagged/issues.

    A) Chillwell & Saka > Trippier and JWP or Bowen -4
    B) Chillwell & Sterling > Walker & JWP -4
    C) Chillwell > Walker
    D) other or wildcard?

  8. tawoop
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Alvarez or Gordon?

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      None… if no other choice, Alvarez

  9. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bench?
    A. Tarkowski
    B. Cash

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve benched cash

    2. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash I think

    3. tawoop
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash here too

    4. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash. Tark in best Everton form/side since Ancellotti.

  10. Rog.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench 1:

    A) Darwin (tot)
    B) Son (Liv)
    C) Mbeumo (nfo)
    D) Bruno (CRY)

    Or don’t get morris bank 1.3 and play them all

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m staying away from Morris at the moment

    2. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dont get morris

    3. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't get Morris. Play them all. Morris will probably outscore one of them, but no way to know which and next week you'll have 1 more transfer, 1.3 extra itb and no Morris to get rid of.

  11. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to play:

    A: Pickford
    B: Turner

    Sub order if Saka don't show uo:

    1. Beyer
    2. Udogie
    3. Archer

    ?

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A1

  12. Claudio555
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Saka or Estupinan? There’s a risk Saka will get a cameo.

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Either he will play whole game or nothing if he's injured

    2. tawoop
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve benched estupinan

    3. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Benched Estu

  13. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not really got any fires to deal with this week so thinking João Pedro to Morris as a cheeky double punt (not very original, I know).

    Who to bench it I do it? Leaning towards D if he might not start

    A. Alvarez
    B. Mitoma
    C. Mbeumo
    D. Saka

    (Pretty sure Son, Bruno, Haaland not options)

    1. ameisin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've done that exact move (can WC him out in 9), and benched Mbeumo as cover for Saka.

  14. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    a) play Saka (with Nakamba dgw, Estupi, Porro bench cover)

    b) -4pts transfer Saka -> Bruno/Bowen etc. 8.9m mid

  15. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mubama to Morris for a hit?

    Would bench Mbeumo then.

  16. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start Cash(BHA) or Estupinan(avl)?

    1. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Estupinan

  17. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would u WC that team?

    Pickford (Turner)
    Trippier Saliba* Estupi (Porro, Reguilon*)
    Salah Saka* Mitoma Mbuemo (Nakamba)
    Haaland Alvarez Morris

    1. boombaba

  18. Rico123

    B. Wissa (nfo)

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B

  19. Udogie-style
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Completely out the loop this week. Yesterday saw a lot of flags.
    Can anyone shed any light on the condition of Saka, Maddison and Botman in particular? Also have Chilwell.
    Cheers.

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      All doubtful is all we know

      1. Udogie-style
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon the first three will start. Chilwell out for a month at least

      1. Udogie-style
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell out. Maddi not 100% but been training, should start. Botman is fine I think. Saka is the tricky one - hasn't been training but I heard he travelled with the squad

  20. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Saka Salah Son JWP Bowen
    Morris Haa Alvarez

    Bench one. Who?

    1. Viper

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Morris

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        If it was me I'd actually bench Alvarez

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Alvarez

    3. tawoop
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m in a similar boat and have benched Alvarez while grimacing

    4. C-Dawgg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t listen to these lunatics, you can’t bench Alvarez

  21. Bird24
    • 5 Years

    Any thoughts, Cash, udogie or Burn? got 4.9mil for a defender most likely first sub.

    2. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  25. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Friends, start Diaby or Mbuemo? Currently on the former and might end up with the latter coming off the bench.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      D

      1. twoplustwo

      2 years, 5 months ago

      diaby

  26. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC

    A. Trips, JWP, Darwin, Gordon
    B. Gabriel (or 4.5 - 4.8), Diaby, Bowen, Alvarez

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve got Trip, Bowen, Diaby, Darwin, Alvarez out of that lot. Probably prefer B.

    2. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A looks pretty exciting and could pay off

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B with Botman

  27. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on bench and order here guys?

    Areola
    Cash Botman Schar
    Saka Foden Sterling Ode
    Haaland(C) Álvarez(vc) Watkins

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years

        Had considered that, but surely v Fulham he’s gonna feature

        1. Swahealy
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          And by feature do u mean go one v one with the goalkeeper again and not have a clue what to do with it 😀 whole teams clueless get rid. Fulham gonna win the derby today or should I say relegation battle

  28. FISSH

    1. twoplustwo

      Can’t decide between Mbuemo and Diaby myself

      1. FISSH
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        So tough

    2. Evasivo

      Tough one, prob Mbuemo

    3. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Swahealy
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka, he may be in Bournemouth but I'd bet the house he's on the bench. U don't sit out training all week to then start on Saturday. If your in the gym Friday your recovering not training for a match like everyone else doing drills specifically for that game

  29. Viper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford

    Saliba Beyer Botman (Estu Chilwell)

    Son Maddison Rashford Bruno Mbeumo

    Alvarez Haaland (Pedro)

    Anything worth a hit? 0.1m in the bank. Morris in for Pedro & bench Mbeumo?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
