Monitor – Pascal Gross

We continue our series of Monitor members’ articles on Gameweek 34 targets by assessing Brighton and Hove Albion schemer, Pascal Gross.

Although Mohamed Salah has redefined the term “successful debut season”, the German’s rookie campaign deserves its share of recognition.

Following a summer arrival from FC Ingolstadt, Gross has proven himself a standout candidate among budget midfield options. The playmaker has quickly earned a reputation as a premium creative force at the Premier League level, racking up some of the most impressive creativity metrics of any player.

Moreover, with two Double Gameweeks – one confirmed for Gameweek 34, and the latter expected to fall in or around Gameweek 37 – still to come this season, Gross is set to remain at the forefront of plans, with or without the Wildcard at our disposal.

    I think I'm almost there!! How does today's tinkering look?

    Lukaku's City's fixture is really putting me off and the money saved on him for Vardy makes my team looks much more balanced..

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Mustafi Lowton Tark Morgan
    Son Salah Mahrez Willain Groß
    Vardy Aubamayeng Barnes

    Plan is to roll 33 transfer and do Mustafi + Auba --> 4.5 DGW defender + Lukaku

    Thoughts?

      Assume you have FH. If so very good side

      1. DrunkPhilosophy

        I do.. Thanks!

      All looks good to me.

      I'm debating whether to wildcard in an Arsenal defender or not bother and save myself a FT down the line (e.g before 34). May stick with the former plan.

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mustafi is just a placeholder for me so I can downgrade him and get Lukaku for Auba.. with 2 good fixtures why not?

        1. X Trapnel
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, that's probably what I'll do myself. I had a tinker earlier and got rid of him (for the reasons made above); but I got rid of him for a Southampton defender, and on reflection that doesn't seem overly wise.

          1. DrunkPhilosophy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Southampton defender may become a viable option by GW34 when we get more clarity if Stephens is nailed and if Southampton wants to stay in the PL.

      2. Chazz69
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Stick with the former plan

      Looks good, as long as you are happy to play a player with an extremely difficult DGW37 (Grob MUN/mci), then injuries and suspensions permitting you look well set for the season.

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Groß could change along the way, might end up downgrading him to Kenedy for second double to get Kane..

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Kaku and Grob to Kane and Kenedy for DGW36 looks viable.

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        are you going to play DDG or Ryan in GW33 ?

        1. DrunkPhilosophy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It would be a tough one as DDG would look odd on the bench and he can punish you.. Depending on GW32 results but probably Ryan to start.

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks nice. V similar to mine. Only problem is planning transfers

    5. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. But I would say that as I have 14/15 same players.

      Currently on Smalling in place if Mustafi as I'd rather save 1FT

      I have enough money for Bailly instead, worth the switch?

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Surely Baily is the better option and guaranteed minutes, watching Smalling plays like an accident waiting to happen, when Jones and Baily are fit they are the preferred partnership..

      How much $itb? No room for Verty?

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        0.3 , I wish.. I really wanted some Spurs defensive coverage but my SV is very embarrassingly low..

    7. Virgil Hilts
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Almost identical to mine.

      Same dilemma.

      Will be putting in Auba for 2 games then switching to Lukaku for 34.

      Not sure whether to put Mustafi in and then transfer out to a DGW defender at same time.

      Probably save 1 FT up my sleeve for the unexpected + Arsenal always good value to concede a comedy goal or two.

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The question is will this Arsenal defender score you more points than the DGW defender you would be getting now and If so by how much? I think it's worth the risk, and if anything unexpected comes up, I can always take a hit..

    8. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The same as mine but 2 exceptions: I have Smalling and Maguire instead of Mustafi and Morgan

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maguire is one luxury I can't afford, great pick!

    9. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years

      Almost identical to me. Even the transfers

    10. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good Louis

    11. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer Mikhi for 2 matches and then Son IMO

    12. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think Lukaku will score against Swansea and city. Just my feeling.

    13. jg7u
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Identical with mine, but I might have double chelsea defence with Christensen instead of Mustafi.

  2. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which would you rather?

    A Maguire Ward/Tarkowski Groß ( and double up Burnley defence with Lowton)- “Alonso Maguire Ward/Tarkowski Robertson Lowton “

    OR

    B Morgan Mustafi/Monreal Gudmundsson - for defence of -
    “ Alonso Lowton Robertson Morgan Monreal/Mustafi”

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B I'd say.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B as I don't like double BUR def.

    3. DrunkPhilosophy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like A a lot.. Groß and Maguire better options than Monreal who could be rotated and Gudmundsson..

  3. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC team? Trying something different:

    Lloris / Ryan
    Valencia / Alonso / Lowton / Morgan / Cedric
    Mahrez / Salah / Matic / Gudmondsen / Willian
    Auba / Lukaku / Murray

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Matic is a wasted slot. Anything itb?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All good but afraid would not want Matic. In that price range Kenedy preferable who plays 35 and doubles in 37, or Ki at Swansea

    3. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. Don't see any major faults.

    4. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rugiger / Maguire instead of Alonso / Morgan imo
      Not a Matic fan

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Rudiger is not nailed.

    5. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stick to the template.

    6. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, only concern is no Son but it look like you have a low TV, if so template isn't an option for you.

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

        No my team value is only 102.1m

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          My TV is the 102's as well, i've got Son but had to downgrade Willian to Grob plus I won't have a Spurs defender until DGW34 (when I will do Auba and Cedric to Vardy and Vert). Us low TV guy's have to deviate from template somewhere, if your got says no Son go for it.

    7. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A lot spent in forwards, making your midfield very weak.
      I think you'd rather have DeGea, Vertonghen, Firmino/Vardy, using the Lukaku money to have Mkhi/Son who many will have and get points from.
      Even Gross is a better option than Gudmund.
      I'd downgrade Murray to Barnes to enable some of those moves if needed.

    8. Dsmythy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia is overpriced and Matic is a waste. I don't mind the rest. If you get players other than Alonso and Valencia you should be able to boost a player or two.

  4. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My WC team. Thoughts?

    DDG - Ryan
    Lowton - Duffy - Morgan - Tomkins - Van Der Hoorn
    Hazard - Salah - Son - Mahrez - Gudmundsson
    Lukaku - Vardy - J. Ayew

    All chips left. Plan to get Kane in for Lukaku in 36/37.

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like the hazard pick. Defence obviously suffering though

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, looking to climb the ranks, hence Hazard.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Defence needs some premium players

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you say are the premiums I 'need'?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Alonso/Vertonghen/Smalling

          1. UnitedFan
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Don't particularly fancy any of them to be honest, cheers though.

    3. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Willian instead of Hazard, releasing moneys to upgrade any where else ( i.e : Maguire for Morgan)

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Reason why I want Hazard is because I'm desperate to climb plus a few doubts over Willian's nailedness for both DGW games. He seems a proven, explosive differential.

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get Barnes instead of JAyew, to have someone who can actually help from the bench in the next 3 gameweeks.
      Hazard and Willian may bring similar amount of points, so you could downgrade to Willian and use the money to get a premium def like Alonso/Monreal/Vertonghen.
      The def is very weak and I don't like the double Brighton at the back.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the opinion. Your view on double Brighton is quite ironic given your username 😉

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Hahaha great point 😀
          Don't trust a looney toon!
          Even if my last name has scored a few own goals this season, I had a great moment lately when my first name assisted my last name 🙂

  5. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    It feels like every day there's something to make me change parts of the wildcard team.
    How does this look?

    DeGea Ryan
    Otamendi Alonso Robertson Monreal Morgan
    Son Salah Mkhitaryan Willian Mahrez
    Barnes Firmino Auba

    0.6 itb

    There is a chance Robertson becomes Tarkowski before deadline, in preparation for dgw34.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very similar to mine. Like a lot. Looks like you may have used FH based on this squad as has 7 week 35’ ers already

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I still have FH and will use it in 35, but these 7 players have good fixtures now so they deserve to be in the team.
        Between now and 35 Ota may become Vertonghen, Monreal to Valencia, Mkhi to Gross, Firmino to Vardy, Auba to Lukaku, so FH will be a must by then.

      True, I've enjoyed having him last few weeks but he'll be gone 34

    4. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      or King instead of the Wilson's owners ?

  7. Darklord_bg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I need some advice:

    DDG, Ryan
    Alonso, Otamendi*, Morgan, Lowton, Dunk
    Salah, Mahrez, Sterling*, Willian, (4.4)
    Auba, Lukaku, Barnes

    Who do I get for 4.4?
    Also, do I keep Otamendi, or exchange him for someone cheaper to get a better 5th midfielder?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You got fh? If so sterling to son and upgrade 4.4

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling to Son is just straight swap atm. I won't gain any cash.

  8. FPL Virgin

    Bit of controversy on Twitter about charging money for FPL spreadsheets to help with the season run in.

    What are people's thoughts on this?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      People can charge for whatever they want. That's their business.

      • 6 Years

      At this stage of the season, making your own fixture spreadsheet is a 5-minute job...the process of assigning fixture difficulty etc. is an integral part of assessing the teams and players you are targeting...

    8. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can't blame him he sees a market full of easy targets and newbies and he wants to make some dough. It's aimed at the brainless who want all the work doing for them.

      Day I pay anyone to pick my team I'll quit and if I did it wouldn't be Ben Crellin that's for sure.

      He's getting payed whilst the buyers are getting played so good on him.. anyone who pays can't claim any achievement imo. Same as people who follow the scouts and so called " hall of famers" teams. Where is the achievement ?

    9. Dsmythy

      Can do what he wants. People can do their own spreads if they want. Membership here is much better value anyway.

  9. Snikii

    Vardy(bri,NEW) or Kaku(SWA,mci) for the next 2 only? Already have Mahrez

    1. Epic Fail

      Vardy

      1. Snikii

        I would even add Frimino to this (cpl,eve)

    2. estheblessed

      I think Lukaku will out score vardy gw 32 then vardy out score in 33. I'm sticking with the former.

      Who's your keeper for 35?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        Free hit 35

        No idea yet - not even thought about it

      Do you want Auba back for GW37?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That position will become Kane for 37

    7. Virgil Hilts
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very similar to mine.

      I guess it’s a question of whether to save 1FT over bringing Mustafi in then out for a DGWer, or not......planned Auba to Luk transfer I think is a solid use of one of them, still not fully convinced on defensive planned one......

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Apart from going with another Burnley def or Cedric I don't know what else to do with that spot...

        Don't see that happening

      When the fixtures came out I was. But not anymore. Kane GW 37 for me.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

        Why not anymore?

        1. Qaiss

        Would be Christensen over Tarkowski

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      both

  17. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Ddg Ryan
    Monreal Smalling Christ Morgan Lowton
    Son Salah Mahrez Willian Gudmundsson
    Auba Vardy Firmino
    1.2ITB for auba->Lukaku gw34

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do you want Auba back again for GW37?

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal might be rotating because of Arsenal EL priority, Christensen doubt regarding him starting ?

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Christensen should be okay I think and worth the risk. Monreal I'm not sure on tbh.

  18. Pancake

    1. Pancake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I guess maybe with free hit.. but without it's gotta be ddg pope

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      34 Bench boost

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        And 33 possibly Ryan start

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I think I'll start Ryan too in that game.

      2. Pancake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'd take Burnley home fixtures all day

  19. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling or Sané likely to play more from now until the end of the season? Seems David Silva is going to be a constant risk with family issues so seems a no go.

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With Man city no interest in PL anymore, Guardiola will rotate a lot i'd say. Zinchenko is a player I'd be interested in

      1. Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Zinchenko????? One of the most rotated men in the squad.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible to tell what their team will look like once the league is finally run. Pep could keep playing a strong team or he could rotate the shit out of it. No real way of knowing

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        finally *won

      2. Dsmythy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Word has it he's out to break records and also regrets rotating his Bayern side in the league as their form in both competitions fell to shit. He'll "rotate" but they'll be strong teams still.

    3. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The damage these boys can do , even a game or 2 of being rotated could outscore most of the options out there. I'm doing all I can not to sell sterling but it's looking like I'm forced to with the change of fixtures...i can't bring myself to take him out

  20. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Many here plan to ditch Auba for Lukaku before GW34. Is it worth it when you look at Arsenal's great fixture and DGW in GW37?

    And if you plan to bring in Kane for Lukaku before GW36 is it really worth it to even bring Lukaku in when you not keep him for GW37?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, there aren't many GWs left. You gotta grab all the points you can along the way

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I see the argument. But is it wise to plan your transfers out so early? FF has had a way of throwing curve balls all time

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It is better to plan than not to plan. Yet, plans do change quite often 😉

      2. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So your plan is to only have Auba for GW32-33?

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba + kaku till 34
      Kane + kaku thereafter

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So the difference would be

      Aubu to Kaku for GW34, then to Kane before GW36.

      or just

      Aubu straight to Kane before GW36.

      Either way do don't have Auba for DGW37 !

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You can't have kane kaku auba and kun 37 though

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          True. But if Kun is rotated, it might be fun to have those 3 others 😉

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Arsenal needs better away form and reason to play well so I doubt I want Auba for those two.

      2. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Or maybe go Auba and Firmino/Vardy and downgrade in midfield to make Vardy/Firmino -> Kane?

  21. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is one of Simpson/Chilwell?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nailed*

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Chilwell

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I certainly wouldn’t say he’s nailed.

    3. Totti
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i like chilwell personally
      and i think (with the respect of all the opinions here) that he can't be benched
      very good performance

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He has been benched not so long ago.

    4. Dsmythy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Neither nailed.

  22. United84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What do u think of this WC team??

    DDG/Ryan

    Smalling/Azpi/Lowton/Morgan/Femenia
    Miki/Mahrez/Willian/Salah/Kennedy
    Lukaku/Auba/Murray

    Auba to Vardy & Miki to Son in GW 34
    FH in 35

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      why femina?
      chilwell for fixtures and DGW

      1. United84
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Have Morgan & Mahrez already and looking to bring in Vardy

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          stephens then instead of femina

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team, as mentioned.... Kiko ? Janmatt instead ?

    3. Dsmythy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd get Holebas if I was looking for a Watford defender.

    4. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'll be going with Kiko. Need a 4.3 and not keen on chillwell

  23. Totti
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    on wildcard

    best defender max 4.9?

    any suggestions??

    defence are:
    de gea ryan
    alonso monreal 4.9 lowton chilwell

    gameweek 34: monreal to vertonghen

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hegazi, Naughton

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        looking for dgw player

    2. United84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      similar issue!

      Double up on Burnley or a Brighton defender but not convinced by the fixtures. Same with Stephens from Southampton

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        what are you doing?
        thinking of scelotto or stephens
        what do u think?

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Duffy

      Think carefully about Vertonghen, come 37 you may want a 3rd tot attacker

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        hmmm
        already will have son and kane
        who else?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          If you plan carefully you maybe able to dump Salah @che and get Alli or Eriksen for the dgw and still be able to buyback Salah (much higher) for 38 without even taking a hit.

    4. United84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Duffy or Dunk but not sure vs Spurs and already having Ryan lol

  24. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Already got DdG and Alonso. Double up with Christensen or Smalling? The other alternative would be Lloris and Bailly.

  25. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Good WC plan?

    De Gea Ryan
    Alonso Baily Morgan Lowton Tark

    Salah Mahrez Gudmundson Mikhi Willian
    Auba Murray Vardy

    GW 34 Mikhi to Son
    GW 34 Auba to Kaku
    and BB
    GW 35 FH
    GW 36 Kaku to Kane
    GW37 Murray to Ayew
    TC Kane

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i think lukaku auba and murray
      the best 3 now

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        auba to vardy gw 34

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          And then Kaku -> Kane?

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            if kane is fit ok
            but i think kaku gameweek 32 against swansea should be in your squad

      2. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        what changed?

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          start with lukaku then get vardy

          1. HD7
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Okay but ehat about City 33?

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer Kaku, Auba Vardy now. For 34 downgrading Auba to upgrade def.

    Thinking of risking it with a defender captaincy in 32, as I need to make up some ground in ML.

    Going with Alonso (C), Morgan (VC). Thoughts?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I'd at least want a forward/mid as VC.

      Alonso is a good call but only if your balls are made up of steel. I dont think they are.

    For those on WC no FH..
    What is consensus? BB in 34 or 37?

    I am leaning on 34 due to the rotation risk in 37 and my SGWs LFC and ARS have good fixture in 34.
