Minimising investment in goalkeepers has long been a popular adage among seasoned Fantasy managers. Year after year, we find ourselves searching for budget offerings who offer the sought-after combination of clean sheet and save-point potential.

The wider meta, however, often runs contrary to this strategy – with premium goalkeepers such as Thibaut Courtois, Hugo Lloris and David de Gea consistently ranking among the most popular players in Fantasy Premier League in terms of ownership.

    Marcos Rojo: "Tomorrow I'm going to play a match with the reserves. Up until now I've not had any problems but training is not the same as a match so I'll play 45 minutes tomorrow. In three weeks we have a CL game that and if all goes well tomorrow I could play in that." #MUFC

    Jones owners worried?

    1. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years

      Naa Jones gets rested for basically all cup games and kept for PL. I think he should be okay

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Lol no. Rojo is toss

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        'Is toss' , ages since I heard that, great comment....

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Doesn't matter if he is or he isn't. What matters is that Jones plainly can't continue to play the number of games that he is doing.

        1. Freddo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          The CL are dead games now and he'll probably miss all cup games.

          Better for this game.

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Bailly and Rojo had become first choice towards the end of last season before his injury. Jones has taken the spot now. But I expect Jose to rotate them. Jones won't be starting games as much as he is starting now, that's for sure!

    4. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      no because jones hasn't been rested for a prem game yet, and united have done pretty well when he plays...

    5. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      No. We all saw what happened vs Huddersfield. Smalling owners ought to be worried.

  2. Athletic Nasherbo

    Anyone see Chris Sutton’s comments about Loftus-Cheek? One good game against Germany’s B team and people are creaming their pants...

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      been waiting to cream since gw 1 Time is coming

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Saying he’s better than Fabregas is a head in hands moment though...

        1. Debauchy
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Ahh , never heard that, Yeah crazy comparison

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Chris Sutton is a bellend but he has a point.

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Stupid people say Stupid things

      Chris Sutton fits that description

  3. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Davies preferred for away matches?

    GW 5 (SWA): 0 minutes
    GW 6 (whu): 90 minutes
    GW 7 (hud): 90 minutes
    GW 8 (BOU): 0 minutes
    GW 9 (LIV): 0 minutes
    GW 10 (mun): 90 minutes
    GW 11 (CRY): 1 minute

    Looks like a pattern forming....

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      You would think so looking at that but Rose wasn’t a factor earlier

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      what next then?

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Already have a home games problem with Kane, don't want to have to bench a premium defender that only plays half the games

  4. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    I'm having a real dilemma with my 8 midfielders and forwards...

    I'm considering going 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 because i see alot of value in midfield right now especially Man C bearing in mind the possible rotation up front with Aguero and Jesus....what do you think of this midfield and forward lineup?

    Eriksen Sané Salah Silva Sterling
    Kane Abraham Niasse

  5. England23
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    What’s happened to Aguero?

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      check previous posts

    2. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Reports he fainted at half time during the Argentina friendly and got taken to hospital

      1. England23
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Blimey, could be the magic juices that he took to fix his broken rib so fast

      2. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        No way, I didn't even know about this!

    3. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      What do you mean?

      1. England23
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        If I broke a rib I don’t know if I could be performing at the top of my game again (not that he has been, but he is playing the top level of football), it just seems a bit weird that Aguero healed so fast. I know with advances in medical sciences that he could have just been fixed normally or maybe he didn’t break it as bad as first though, but in the real world a broken rib takes a bit longer to heal doesn’t it?

        1. Freddo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          He's in Russia, the Russians did it.

          They seem to get the blame for everything else these days.

          1. Rash
            • 8 Years

            Fake news 😉

  6. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Think I'm losing Kun now. With this latest setback the writing is on the wall this week at least.

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      no one to replace him with is the problem

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Lol

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Has to be Kaku reluctantly or maybe jesus. I'll captain Kane probably

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          I don't like Lukaku. Ibra coming back, he's off form and knackered. Arsenal and City coming up after these 3 games. But I see why some want him

          1. EL_FENOMENO
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Ibra getting the number 10 role i presume and Pogba back. That's some attack we will have

            1. F4L
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              problem is that it removes Lukaku being the central attacking figure in the team. 4 other players getting points apart from Lukaku

          2. Freddo
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Ibra is not back for weeks, doubt he is a threat to him for this weekend or next or next or next....

      3. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        If Aguero is out, Jesus is such a lock.

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          yep, but I wouldn't be buying him for 1 GW

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Well, by out, I meant him being out for like 2-3 weeks. We just don't know anything right now. Pep will reveal proper.

        2. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Im seriously thinking of that.

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    If the Kun news is true then Aguero+Cedric > Lukaku+Jones?

    2FTs, 0.3ITB! Would leave this but no City?

    Fabianski
    Ward • Duffy • Jones
    Mo Salah • E. Hazard • Richarlison • RLC
    Kane • Lukaku(C) • Vardy
    (Elliot / Otamendi / TC / Yedlin)

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      If Jones ok looks good

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      If it’s true that he fainted it doesn’t mean he won’t play at the weekend

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        He won’t though! Even fully fit he was looking likely to be benched IMO

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Based on what?

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            The power of ridiculous speculation

          2. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Just thought he would play Jesus up top and ease Kun back after a long International break and the big accident earlier! And with this news I feel that is even more likely! Just my opinion like I say though 🙂

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          He may now be benched, but saying when fully fit he was looking likely to be benched is proper overthinking on your part.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Thinking a City attacker would be benched was overthinking?

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              No, saying he was the one most likely to be benched is.

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 24 days ago

                Disagree. It was analysing the situation based on past data/decisions to formulate a valid opinion! You should try it sometime 😉

                1. fedolefan
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 24 days ago

                  Yeah, that's what I said. Overthinking. I'd leave that to you.

  8. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    RIP Kun...at least makes it easier to bring in Lukaku or Morata

    Silver lining and all that

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      You'll be relieved when you do it. Every week is a gamble with City forwards.

      1. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Starting to belive this. Get rid of the kun handcuffs. Once they on its hard to find a key

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          High risk, high reward....

  9. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    I hope Kun's feint is just due to dehydration and it probably is.

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Could still dodge this gw

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Shouldnt take 20 minutes to wake up if its just dehydration if the news are true about him only regaining conscious at the hospital.

      1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        That's what I've been thinking too.

        Guess we just have to wait for more news.

    3. Well, I lunged en quarte, and he had to parry in octave, so his feint didn't work

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Can just see Kun kitted , feinting snd parrying

        1. Yeah. Me too.

          1. Debauchy
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Ahhh, time to nod off , no need for sheep when you're counting Kuns

            1. 😀

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Yikes, what is this Aguero news now?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Collapsed during halftime, went to hospital for a checkup. Nothing else.

  11. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Is there a set amount of time a player has to be out for if they faint, similar to concussion rules?

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      No history to rely on . However a faint could have various underlying causes, So will undergo tests but looking like he will be given a little rest . Why risk to WBR anyway

      1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Very good points, thanks for the insight!

        1. Debauchy
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Leicester though

          1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            My thoughts exactly. I had the armband on Kun....

            If he's definitely out im putting Jesus (c) in.

            What are you thinking?

  12. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    a) Morata + Azpi
    b) Kaku + Jones( if fit )

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      A

  13. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Can't afford Jones to be rested with Otamendi (banned) and Hunemeier (non starter). Worth selling Otamendi at this stage?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Have money to go Hun -> 4.4? Id rather do that then. Also I dont think Jones will be rested.

  14. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Reluctant to lose Kun but it would make the Luk switch easier!

  15. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Son looked extremely shark and dangerous versus Serbia. One to monitor.

    1. 824545201
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      *sharp

  16. Cheezeweasel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Hey guys, do you reckon Pogba (potentially still injured) and Richarlison to Mahrez & Grob is a good move?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      I am confused

      1. Cheezeweasel
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        I have Pogba and Richarlison. I'm looking for advice on whether switching to Mahrez and Grob makes sense

        1. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          How and why do you have Pogba?

        2. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          How the hell do you still have pogba? Are you on a wc?

          1. Cheezeweasel
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            ha yeah, I'm on a WC at the mo, I brought Pogba in as I heard he was coning back. I'm now looking at whether I should hold on to him or drop Richalison to Grob to make funds for Mahrez

            1. Yozzer
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              Mahrez looks good again but 2 tough games in next
              3

              Maybe richarlison now and lose him when games toughen up soon

    2. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      I would be looking to do the opposite of that move tbh...

      1. GXNG
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        To answer your question no I don't think it's a good move. Pogba almost back from injury and I think he will do well. Richarlison on fire.

        1. Cheezeweasel
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Thanks. Richarlison with better fixtures too

  17. GAMBIT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Can weird things please just stop happening to Kun!

    This is all Guardiola's fault

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Or Jesus's father...

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Stranger things season three.

    3. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      No, its the Russains fault.

  18. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Hello.

    Which team is better?

    A) Pope Elliot
    Dann Daniels Mee MORENO DUNK
    Salah Sterling Richarlison Loftus GROß
    Kane Morata KUN

    B) Pope Elliot
    Dann Daniels Mee AZPI JONES
    Salah Sterling Richarlison Loftus SANE
    Kane Morata NIASSE

    1. Cheezeweasel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      'A' if Kun is fit

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      So basically Aguero or team balance

      I'd go with team balance

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Well yeah I guess.

    3. TheRealDog
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      My two drafts are very close to yours and even before the Aguero news I was edging towards B. If B, I might go Kane and Lukaku and transfer Lukaku to Morata in 2-3 gameweeks. Not sure if it's worth it though.

  19. aborg
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Aguero just went to hospital as a routine check for fainting. I would not look much into it for the time being...it’s still early days. I surely would not transfer him out for now.

    1. Gangster Panda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Likewise, I'm holding for now. Kun won't drop in price tonight (currently 63.6 on fplstats), so despite kneejerk transfers, holders have time to assess the news for a day or 2.

    2. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Actually, some reports say he only regained consciousness in hospital.

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Obviously he won't be allowed to play this weekend but, yeah, could be a fairly short term thing

  20. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Plan was to do Jesus -> Lukaku and wash my hands with city striker rotation but this Aguero option makes Jesus attractive this week

    On the other hand have a feeling Lukaku (who will be even more highly owned with Aguero sellers) will do some serious damage to my rank. However would be for a -4 if I were to bring him in

    Thoughts?

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

        What do these numbers supposedly represent?

    2. GAMBIT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      All I remember off the top of my head is that Liverpool are playing our reserves 😛

  22. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Why is it that, when on WC, one always end up -0,1 off the "dream team"?

    DDG / Speroni
    Jones Christensen Dann Daniels Moreno
    Salah Sané Sterling Zaha Richarlison
    Kane Morata Niasse

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Christiansen to Duffy and then you have the dream team

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Christensen my hidden gem.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Hidden on the bench 😉

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Booo 😉

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Wow, that's a nice team.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      I'm 0.4 short of that. I wouldn't mind losing DDG for Pope.

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Hm. Double United is a differential I'm not keen on losing. But that move enables Sterling to a more nailed mid like Alli/Eriksen down the line... Food for thoughts!

    4. Galza
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      I’d lose Christensen for a Burnley defender...

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Why? Haven't you read Conte's comments about Christensen being the present and the future at the club? Conte seems to trust him more than Rudiger too.

        1. Galza
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          I haven’t read those comments.
          Just an option to help you find that 0.1...
          5.4mil for Christensen an expensive rotation risk imo..

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Lol @ me for being about 1.7m short of it

    6. Business Cat

      No Burnley defence...no party 🙂

    7. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      I'm 0.6m off that 'dream team'.....that team is benching headache central though!

  23. Gudjohnsen

    Aguero will be rested on saturday.

  24. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years

    Is Fabregas nailed on?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      No

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      If Hazard is injured yes

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Should be mostly nailed considering that no other CM really can replace his qualities.

  25. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    This is the problem with owning Kun / Jesus.

    In the middle of EVERY gameweek there will be this ongoing discussion of will / will he not start.

    I really can be doing without the stress UNLESS one of them has a long term injury (I am talking more than 1 month out at least)

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Guarenteed that Aguero and Jesus both start and Sane is benched then.

      Oh, what scenes those would be 😎

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Have you only just realised this?

  26. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    Put it this way no chance Aguero will rise in price his week so may as well have someone who might.

    Do you think Morata or Lukaku to rise from now till Sat?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Defo Morata.

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      That’s a silly way to look at transfers. If kun is out then yea get rid but he might play who cares about .1

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      You'd need to catch 0.3 rise to gain any TV - if you're gonna transfers morata or Lukaku in then out for Aguero it doesn't really make a difference.

  27. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    BREAKING: More football makes footballers tired

    Who would have known?

    I'm sorry but the Danish anthem is definitely not among the best ones. 🙂
