Goalkeepers

The best UCL Fantasy players for Matchday 10 5

Arsenal may be well below expectations from a defensive perspective domestically but they claimed two clean sheets from their first two European matches. With this in mind, and the fact the Gooners play at home this week, David Raya (€5.6m) gets the nod. He’s got one of the best chances of a clean sheet from those playing on Tuesday.

If Raya fails to pick up a return against Shakhtar Donetsk, then we could look to Atalanta. The Italian side are very similar to Arsenal in the fact they have sustained a significantly better defence in Europe this season. Coincidentally, one of their two Champions League clean sheets came against the Gunners, which is a good example of their defensive capabilities. Between the sticks for Atalanta is Marco Carnesecchi (€4.5m), who has solid potential against Celtic this week.

    Looking ahead for the next opportunity to pick an alternative captaincy option to Haaland and Son v IPS (H) in GW 11 could be the one.

    Certainly one good reason for Son over Palmer as my Saka replacement this GW.

      That whole stretch until they play Liverpool looks good to me. Even that's at home with potential to be a goalfest.

      I don't this game is ever relaxing! But it's somewhat comforting; I certainly need them this week

      So many more options!

      I spent last GW uncertain if I would use 0,1,2 or 3 moves!

    Bottomed..

    On wildcard, this is my current draft.. rip it apart please!

    Flekken - Fabianski
    Aina, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Robinson, THB
    Palmer, Salah, Mbuemo, ESR, Rogers
    Wissa, Haaland, Raul

    alternative is Salah to Foden/Son/Saka and upgrade one of the strikers.

      Yeah I’m looking to sell ESR for McNeil but that is very similar to my GW3 WC team so I like it.

      I’d go something like now,

      Raya
      Gvardiol Porro Robinson
      Salah Palmer Mbeumo McNeil Rogers
      Haaland Wood

    Saka > Palmer done since I have exact money and didn't want to risk being priced out.

    I'm good to just chill now yeah?

    Sels
    TAA Gabriel Lewis
    Palmer Mbeumo Johnson Rogers
    Haaland Watkins Havertz
    (Fabianski Dibling VdB Greaves)

    Any consideration for VdB over Gabriel? I have not benched Gabriel once this season and the last two 'tough' games he played in were his biggest returns of the season.

        Players are not supposed to get injured. Plus I still have 1 more FT in case of emergencies.

          Why do players get injured when they're not supposed to? Are they stupid?

      I'd go Raul, Fulham are a better team. I've got more trust in them scoring.

    Do I have the correct defenders benched?
    Playing: Gab - TAA - VDBerg
    Bench: Robinson - Faes

      Gabriel, TAA and Robinson are all very close this week - just pick one to bench and hope I reckon. Like, share and subscribe.

    Just bought in Maddison and Foden for GW8 using my 2 FT's (taking out Saka and Diaz). Would you just keep them and hope for the best in GW9?

      Foden a big minutes risk IMO. Seems to be playing more in UCL than PL.

    2 FT and 3.9 ITB. Have just the right cash to make these moves for a -4. Yay or nay?

    Konsa > RAN
    Martinelli > Salah
    Mateta > Raul

    Henderson
    Gabriel - Konsa - Robinson
    Martinelli - Johnson - Palmer - Mbuemo
    Haaland - Mateta - Wood

    Valdi - Myko - Winks - Mosquero

    Thoughts? 2FT, 0.1 ITB:

    Flekken / Valdimarsson
    TAA / Gabriel / Saliba / Greaves / Bednarek
    Saka / Diaz / Mbuemo / Semenyo / Rogers
    Haaland / Solanke / DCL

  14. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 months, 14 days ago

    Saka + Welbeck (if ruled out) to Palmer + Raul Jimenez for (-4)

    Have EXACT funds.

    Worth it? Looks like Palmer going up and Saka going down in price tonight.
