Gameweek 18 comes to its conclusion this Wednesday evening as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Mary’s.

Claude Puel’s men seek a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own supporters, with ever-present Virgil van Dijk (13% ownership) the most popular Saints player by some distance in Fantasy Premier League.

After netting twice in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth, Jay Rodriguez retains his role up front and is afforded another chance to play his way into our plans ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Back-to-back home blanks against Hull and Burnley persuaded many to part company with Harry Kane last time out – the Spurs frontman was second only to Diego Costa for transfers out in Gameweek 18. Nonetheless, a big performance could have a big effect in the FPL standings – Kane is the sixth most captained player for this round of fixtures.

His Tottenham team-mate Christian Eriksen also earned significant sales after failing to deliver points against the Clarets, yet both have the underlying numbers to punish those who chose to look elsewhere.

    Morning Chaps.

    Is anyone thinking of doubling up on WBA defence? I have Foster already and was thinking of getting Brunty in. The alternative was Cedric, but after conceding 4 at home last night, my thoughts have been swayed. . .

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go for Brunt, cs potential in coming weeks and playing as a mid

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it. West Brom aren't keeping clean sheets. Their habit of conceding exactly 1 goal late on in games is infuriating.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, but that was against Chelsea and Arsenal, respectively. Different kettle of fish to other Premier League sides. . .

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          They have been doing it all season. Only 3 clean sheets in 18 games.

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

      Cedric have great fixtures coming up now, worth bringing in. I think they have 7-8 good fixtures in a row now.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cedric will be rotated over the next 2

      2. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Axis, Cedric not a good player to promoe

    4. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only considering Brunt.

      1. joescores
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Brunt

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Does Cedric have competition at right back, lads? I should really know this, but I have been focussing less this season 🙁 I read on here that he isn't completely nailed - is this true...??

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, Martina has been doing well in his position. Likely to be rotated if Southampton play more than 1 game a week.

    5. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did you watch the game yesterday. Saints where on pair with Spurs, even with 1 player less. Spurs scored 2 goals in the last 10 min after Saints pushed for a draw.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nah dude, was watching the darts.

    6. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brunt is all you need I reckon until they start showing some defensive form.

  2. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Whatever happened to the Burning Question articles? They were really good.

    Here's a burning question for you anyway: which out of the following 4, do you own / are you backing: Aguero, Costa, Ibra and Kane?

    And why?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa and Ibra. Sanchez better value than Kane and Aguero IMO.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good choice.

    2. Emp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      aguero ibra , dont think costa will keep it up and kane off the pace, but i am biased to kun. could easily justify costa ibra as well, would rank them ibra > kun/Costa ( dependening on whether yu happy with rest of your team with the money diff) > Kane

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What would you say about Kane this morning if Southampton had a competent groundskeeper, though?

        1. Emp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          id be saying kane was incredibly lucky to have a brace in a game where he was hugely ineefective and lethargic , suffering from burnout imo and an extraordinary amount of pens have helped him out lately to keep his tally kickling along.

    3. Lumberjack
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa and Ibra.

      Will be doing Kane to Costa today, basically because he's looking so much the better player. Ibra is on red-hot form. And i don't think Kun can outscore either of them, so doesn't justify the price.

    4. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa and Ibra because they both look dangerous every game. Aguero is too expensive and Kane looks awful

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I agree

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane was a dodgy piece of turf away from a brace last night?

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Did you see the game though? He was like a statue. Hardly touched the ball. Costa and Ibra look electric by comparison. Kane will score goals still and he is great at pens generally but he's not passing the eye test at all for me

          1. sminkypinky
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Very true. He looked like he didn't know when or where to make his runs, so he just didn't move. When the ball got into the box, it was someone else attacking it. Dismal.

      3. Kuqi Monster
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        "aguero is too expensive" - will you still have this view if he scores a hatty against Burnley?

        1. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          its not about just 1 player. To bring in Aguero you will need to downgrade 2 players. For costa only 1 or none.

          1. Kuqi Monster
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Well I'm in a position that iI don't need to downgrade 2 players, was a genuine question, not trying to persuade people either way.

            1. Sharpe Shuffle
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Fair question. Reply below

        2. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes - because Ibra and Costa will keep pace with him over the season. For me it is about getting the mid-priced midfielders right - lots of options (Lallana, Eriksen, Walcott, Siggy etc.)

        3. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. I want to see

          1) Can he have a run of games without getting injured or suspended
          2) How will Gabriel Jesus' arrival affect his minutes? I don't see Brazil's number 9 coming to sit on the bench

          I just think over the season that Sanchez and Costa can outscore Kun and a 8 or 9m mid.

          And I enjoy the game more without Kun in my team. Not having to scrape funds together for him then use all my transfers when he inevitably gets injured and then comes back

          1. Kuqi Monster
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough. For me kun has the highest point ceiling in the game and with captaincy a factor I don't want to go without at a time when his price is what it is currently.

            1. Sharpe Shuffle
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Totally valid. There's no right or wrong. I would've agreed last season but this year it seems to me that Pep has taken something away from Aguero by making him harry and defend. I know his goal scoring record when he plays is still great but the disciplinary issues I think are directly linked to this. I preferred Kun when he was allowed to just stroll around then burst into action and the ball's in the back of the net

    5. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra Costa & Lukaku.

      Thats my WC Front 3 from GW20.

      I dont want to loose one of Ibra or Costa right now for Kane.
      Aguero is too expensive for the balance of my team.

    6. Samurai Blue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Currently have Kane and Ibra. Will be doing Kane > Costa. I would have kept Kane for the next game vs Watford but he didn't pass the eye-test yesterday. Even if he scored that penalty I would have removed him. Ibra is on form and has good fixtures.

  3. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs defence going to be interesting on Sunday. No Vert, Toby ill and Walker suspended. Will they play:

    Trippier Wimmer Dier Rose

    WBA might have a good day.

    1. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You mean watford?

    2. joescores
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They play Watford

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry - looking at the wrong GW!

    3. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think Toby should be back by then. And its Watford.

    4. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Toby is back for nxt game.

  4. MOUMU
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT and 0.2 ITB with below team (78 pts this GW)

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Mee Francis Chambers Love
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Can Fletcher
    Ibra Kane Origi

    Thinking of rolling over the FT to next week guessing siggi and kane will do good. And then go on for eriksen and costa or aguero if possible.
    Any thoughts?

  5. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pick two to play:

    A- Amat (if he's gonna start)
    B- McAuley
    C- Holebas
    D- Kone

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Amat - Curtis probably going for a clean sheet.

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        and the other one?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          McAuley.

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A and one of B/D

      1. joescores
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A

    3. Emp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B + D

  6. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    What do people think about hits ?
    "No hit for whole season"??
    Or do hits and never let your team be garbage?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ni hits + hits
      Smart hits 😉 should always be taken and some risky too

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Always hits ? No

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I don't said always 😮
          I said its a combination of hits sometimes and no hits

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      the latter

    3. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Taken 10 hits this season so far. Take when required and confident of scoring good points. Been doing fairly well, so depends from player to player.

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      People who have done hits have great TV and thus great team now.

      1. Gemgem1010
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hits are half the fun.

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have great TV but season is going to end and TV does not help my points currenlty

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

        This. Its a strategy that pays off I the second off the season when you can afford all the big hitters.

    5. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hits when required and when you can't field 11

    6. Emp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      theres no hard and fast rule, take a hit if it improves projected point output simple as that

    7. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Villa Ronka patiently saves a FT transfer every week and does 2 FT every two GWs.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes
        I just posted this by watching his team

    8. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I take hits if it is to increase team value greatly or if I am going to captain one of the players I am taking in

  8. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best gk longterm?
    Have budget up to 5.2

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just get Heaton

    2. KUNingas
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      valdes. use money elsewhere

    4. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Forster or Foster

    5. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years

      Heaton. What more does he have to do to get people's attention, lol..

      Lukaku Costa Ibra

      1. joescores

        Cheers, Kane has got a better fixtures though...

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Does he - I would say over the next 8 weeks Lukaku is better

      2. KUNingas
        • 9 Years

        this

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B, but Personally neither....

      Too much money up front with better value in midfield. The two I would choose would be Ibra and Costa. Kane is up and down and Kun is all over the shop this season.

  10. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Start Holebas or Amat?

    Walker suspension is tough.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm starting Holebas I think as insurance as I have Kane. One of them is bound to do well 🙂 And Holebas might get attacking returns.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Actually I'll start Amat with Holebas to come on if he doesn't play. Bournemouth don't score that many goals away.

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Holebas -

      Mata not guaranteed to start, Swansea in a mess, Holebas has better threat potential.

      Neither likely to be a clean sheet candidate.

    3. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I remember when Curtis was managing in between Swansea were doing fairly well. Can play Amat. Autosubbed otherwise.

  11. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys. Struggling a little this season. 1m OR.

    1FT and 0.1ITB
    What moves should I make? Especially if Wally is out.

    Heaton. Pickford.
    Alonso. Evans. Pieters. Smith. Holebas.
    Sanchez. Walcott. Siggy. Capoue. Lallana.
    Ibra. Costa. Benteke.

    Cheers all

    1. KUNingas
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing. Save transfer

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Even if Walcott is injured

        1. KUNingas
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is he?

          1. Whats the Huth
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wenger press conference today will confirm if he is or not.
            He missed last game with calf injury

          2. Kuqi Monster
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wait for the presser

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott to Eriksen and downgrade Smith or Holebas.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can't afford Walcott to eriksen.

        Thinking of doing Walcott (if injured) to Phillips and upgrade benteke to lukaku next week. Or even upgrade my defenders

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott to Eriksen is a good shout, or even Tekkers to Origi.

      You're not in a bad position though so unless the dynamics in your league require some big changes id hold.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm about 90 behind ML leader. Haha.
        Shocking season.

        Wally to Eriksen isn't possible though I'm afraid. No money ITB

    4. Over Midwicket

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard atm coz do nt hv Costa

      1. Top 210 Club
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard really?

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Damn! Was locked on to Costa as I think Stokes defence has more leaks than boro......not sure now though!

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think Boro are due a hiding - lucky against Arsenal, lucky against Burnley too IMO.

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've made some counting and I want to sell Walker but:
    A) VVD won't let me to upgrade test of the team
    B) Jones save money would allow me to do Siggy to Lalana/Coutinho or Origi to Benteke
    Thoughts ?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jones if you can afford to bench him 1-2 times

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You reckon he will be bench in coming weeks ?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          he is nailed atm
          but may get roatated in 1 of 2 games next and Billy taking his place in one game before he goes to AFCON

          1. Phil Dagger ⭐
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            * Bailly

  15. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No red flag for Walker on the FPL site yet - is he suspended or not?

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Technically should b coz the booking was before 31st. Else he would have survived.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he is red flagged

      1. Lumberjack
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah got it now, needed to refresh the mobile site 4 or 5 times before it updated...cheers

  16. Virgil Hilts
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm thinking of doing the following transfers this week & next

    Kane -> Costa
    Cedric -> Brunt
    --------------------
    Can -> Phillips
    Holebas -> Ake
    Siggy -> Lallana

    Above the live is this week for free
    Below the line is next week for -8

    I have exact money for all, and no further pressing issues (apart from Pickford injured but I have Boruc).

    So by Sunday night...
    Boruc - Pickford
    Alonso - Rose - Brunt - Ake - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Erikson - Lallana - Phillips
    Ibrahimovic - Costa - Anichebe
    3-5-2 obviously

    Anything too mental there?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't be planning -8 a week in advance.

      1. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh, not really comfortable with that but want these players for their form & fixtures and not got any money spare to hold. Even 0.1 rise or fall on someone would scupper the whole plan.

        If Can could be nailed it would be great, would save getting Phillips in, but he isn't at the moment.

  17. Emp

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years

      Pieters to Jones?

  20. Partick Bateman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morning folks.

    A. Thoughts on whether Origi starts v MCI?
    B. Thoughts on whether Baines starts next 2 matches?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. 120 mins
      B. Don't see why not

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) likely
      B) very likely

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

      Yes to Origi, not sure on Baines.

    4. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think yes to both.

      1. Partick Bateman
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers all for the replies.

  21. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmmm

    Have exact money for siggy/Kane to phillips/aguero

    A) will Kane make the deadline without dropping
    B) Are those the moves to make with 2FT in Gw20? Leaves no money ITB to upgrade defence.

    Heaton pickford
    Alonso ake Pieters holebas amat
    Sanchez hazard Siggy Lallana fletcher
    Kane Ibra benteke

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      either that or
      just Kane to Costa

      both good moves

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Those are the moves I wanted to make but have been priced out of

    3. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Amat gets regular starts, think can manage with that defense. Moves look good for GW20 then.

  22. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Been away but a -12 turned out to be very bad. Need advice:

    Torn between Costa and Ibra Captain.

    Costa - rested. consistant. poor stoke defence.

    Ibra - on fire. needs 2 more goals this year to beat messi. on pens

    Decisions!!

  24. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would love a bit of advice, please Gents.

    I have already done a -4 this week. Would you take a further -8 to do:

    Firmino + Kane > Ali + Ibra?

    Have exactly the right money.

    1. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no. Don't like that at all.

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would not sell Firmino + regardless of Kane's form they face Watford next. Can hold him for this GW before selling him imo.

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

      I wouldn't sell Firmino. Later if you don't like him you can easly swap him to Couthino. And remember its not -8 or -12, its -4 for each player. 🙂

    4. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      May be worth resisting, to enable Firmino + Kane > Philips + Kun next gw

    5. Emp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no chance

    6. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ibra yes
      firmino no
      find another player to downgrade

    7. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nah. Firmino's looking good and Kane has Watford. Middlesbrough are pretty tight away from home. I don't see that paying back -8

    8. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Thanks so much everyone, I didn't expect so many replies. I appreciate it.

  25. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Holebas to Ake with a FT?

    Wanted to save this week but with Walker out I'm a bit light at the back and was probably going to do it sooner or later anyway.

    Cheers

    1. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      tough one. I don't see any Bournemouth cleansheets in the next 3. I'd probably not do it.

      1. Lumberjack
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, thanks

  26. -SB-

    Foster
    Walker* | Alonso | VVD | Jones
    Fletcher | Hazard | Sanchez | Eriksen
    Ibhra | Costa
    Jakupovic | Holgate | Barnes | Zaha

    What you think?

    If i remove Walker, i have 6.3 to spend. I just miss out on Bellerin. Who is another alternative?

    Thanks.

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hold Walker. He will have a big role to play in the remainder of the season if Toby is fit and Spurs can field 3 at the back. Play Holgate this week instead.

  27. the dom 1

    Thoughts on Wally playing this GW?

    If not who would you get in for him?

    A. Pogba

    B. Zaha

    C. Yaya

    D. Antonio

    rest of my mids are; Sanchez, Firmino, Capoue & Siggy

    1FT. 0.6ITB

    Help pls 🙂

  28. Emp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    kun will prove his worth over costa imo when one looks at citys atttack versus chelsea and the amount of goals the two teams will score in second half of season, chelsea will be happy to grind out 1-0's city will thrash teams and kun on pens as well (unless yaya takes them)...

  29. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at the Kun-Ibra-Costa frontline. Can get this in 3 gw's but is the rest of the team too weak?

    Heaton Pick
    Alonso Chambers Pieters Nyom Amat
    Sanchez Alli Lallana Philips 4.4
    Kun Ibra Costa

    Transfers would be-
    Rondon Siggy Holebas Toby to Kun Philips Chambers Nyom

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      One of the better teams with the Kun Ibra Costa front line. You could consider downgrading Alonso to Valencia & upgrade Amat to another 5m defender.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Alonso one of the few season keepers imo

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, but you need to consider that a 6.4m Alonso will get you 6 points every week and Amat will get you a 0. So that's 6 points guaranteed. Valencia & Brunt can well and truly exceed that. You have to be flexible if you want that frontline.

  30. Cruz88
    • 10 Years

    After this weekend is Eriksen and Siggy to Alli and Sterling a good shout? Would need funds from Eriksen to swap Siggy...

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Id keep eriksen. form midfeilder atm with 5 goals and 4 assists in last 6

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep Eriksen. Is there another way you can fund Sterling?

      1. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not unless I downgrade Alonso nope, I have an expensive mid and front line (Siggy, Sanchez, Eriksen, hazard, lallana, ibra, Costa)

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm maybe you don't need Sterling then?
