The Watchlist Updated – Midfielders

Having analysed our favoured Goalkeepers and Defenders in the newly-updated Watchlist rankings, focus now turns to the midfielders primed to profit from the season run-in.

For those unfamiliar, the Watchlist offers mid-term player recommendations for the next four-to-six Gameweeks and beyond. They can be found in your sidebar on desktop, or via your slide-in menu on mobile or tablet.

These highlight our current thinking on player selection for each position, listing the factors that are contributing to the given rank.

After heading into the international break off the back of a 29-point haul at home to Watford, Mohamed Salah remains an immovable object at the top of our rankings.

Liverpool may not have a Double Gameweek on their agenda, yet the schedule remains very much in their favour (cry eve BOU wba STK che BHA), with only a Gameweek 37 trip to Chelsea problematic.

Averaging 8.9 points per match and having produced 14 sets of double-figures, Salah will be one of the few players to avoid the Wildcard cull as we freshen up options for the run-in.

A four-goal haul against the Hornets took Salah to 28 strikes for the season – at least double all but Raheem Sterling (15) in midfield four ahead of second-placed Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.

Only the relentless Salah denies Riyad Mahrez from claiming a place at the summit.

Climbing up to fourth in the midfield rankings, the Leicester winger has supplied a goal or assist in 11 of his last 14 league starts, delivering back-to-back 10+ points hauls in their last two league matches.

As a result, Mahrez is the second most bought midfielder among Fantasy Premier League (FPL) midfielders ahead of Gameweek 32.

The schedule also promotes investment. With a Double Gameweek 34 (bur SOU) confirmed and an expected pair of Gameweek 37 matches (WHU ARS), Mahrez would be granted three home fixtures to profit from. Furthermore, the Foxes also face the likes of Brighton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace before the season concludes.

With frontman Jamie Vardy identically priced, Leicester’s run-in may well persuade many Wildcard managers to double up on their two big-hitters.

We’ve also listed Marc Albrighton lower down as a budget buy. At 5.6, he has two goals and eight assists to his name and leads Mahrez for key passes, by 44 to 42.

Chelsea’s pair of Double Gameweeks elevates Eden Hazard (10.6) and Willian (7.1) at very different price points.

Although he’s less secure of a pick than Hazard, the Brazilian has started four of his side’s last five league matches, indicating he could offer value for money over the run-in. Having netted twice in the previous three, Willian is the third most bought midfielder ahead of Gameweek 32.

Across their previous six appearances, Willian has matched Hazard for FPL returns (three goals, one assist) and has fired 11 shots on target – level with Salah at the midfield summit and more or less twice the Belgian’s six.

Antonio Conte’s side have still to face two top four teams (TOT WHU sot & bur blank swa LIV new), though both of them are at home, with a visit from Huddersfield expected to join Liverpool’s trip to Stamford Bridge in Double Gameweek 37.

Spurs also supply us with two players ahead of an expected pair of Double Gameweeks.

With four goals and 31 points accrued in his previous two Gameweeks, Son Heung-min is the top transfer target in midfield. The South Korean looks set to profit from a role up front in Harry Kane’s enforced absence and has started 15 of the last 16 league matches, though a drop to the bench as recently as Gameweek 28 served a reminder that, with Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura offering strong competition, he’s not quite as nailed on as Christian Eriksen.

Nonetheless, Son’s explosive potential keeps him very much in the frame for our Wildcards – although he’s played 639 minutes less than the Dane, he leads him by 154 points to 153 in FPL.

More expensive on the budget (9.4 to 8.3), Eriksen betters Son for shots (74 to 65) and efforts on target (32 to 27), with the playmaker also claiming top three places for both key passes (73 to Son’s 32) and big chances created (14).

Once this week’s trip to Chelsea has passed, many more Wildcarders could be set to load up on Spurs ahead of a fine schedule (stk MCI & bha blanks WAT wba LEI), with a home clash against Newcastle expected to drop in Double Gameweek 37.

As mentioned in our morning Scribbles article, though, Kane could return to action quicker than anticipated, which could yet see Eriksen climb above Son as our preferred Spurs midfielder.

Brighton’s Pascal Gross is our favoured cut-price pick. Chris Hughton’s side are set for a trio of home matches (LEI HUD cry & TOT) in the next three Gameweeks alone, which could persuade many to Wildcard in the Brighton playmaker, who is expected to face both Manchester sides in Double Gameweek 37.

Over the last six Gameweeks, Gross is ranked third in midfield for shots (15), efforts on target (seven) and key passes (16) on his way to producing a goal and three assists.

With five goals and eight assists this term, the Seagulls’ summer signing is second only to Salah for value, in terms of points per million, in the centre of the park.

Arsenal’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan has wasted no time in settling since arriving from Man United over the winter.

Averaging 6.4 points per start for the north London outfit, the Armenian has delivered 13 points in two of his three home matches – a record that bodes well ahead of a trio of Emirates encounters (STK SOT new WHU) in the next four Gameweeks.

Such a schedule promotes early Wildcard investment in the Gunners, who also face Burnley and Huddersfield in the final two rounds of matches. A trip to Leicester is anticipated to drop alongside the Clarets’ visit as part of Double Gameweek 37.

Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard also boast a favourable upcoming run-in (SWA mci WBA & bou blank ARS bha WAT), with a trip to West Ham expected to accompany their visit to Brighton in Double Gameweek 37.

However, both have struggled for output of late.

Priced at 11.5, Sanchez has just a goal and assist in six Gameweek since arriving at Old Trafford, with many preferring the similarly priced Romelu Lukaku (11.4) up front as their route into the United attack. Nonetheless, the Chilean has matched Lukaku for shots (13) over this period and has created more chances for team-mates, by eight to four.

Lingard, at 6.0, is far more pleasing on the budget, yet two sub appearances in United’s last three league matches – including a one-minute outing in the Gameweek 30 match against Liverpool – underlines the risk attached to his acquisition.

Further down, Johan Berg Gudmundsson and Junior Stanislas offer in-form budget candidates ahead of respective Double Gameweek 34s.

Gudmundsson’s Burnley are the only side with a Double Gameweek 34 to also play in Gameweek 35, when they make their way to Stoke.

Priced at just 5.1, the Icelandic international has bagged a goal and two assists in his previous five ahead of a very kind schedule (wba wat LEI & CHE stk BHA ars BOU) that has earmarked him for our Wildcards.

Stanislas (6.0), meanwhile, has four goals and a pair of assists in eight league outings since recovering from injury. Clashes with Watford and Palace precede a testing Double Gameweek 34 (liv MUN) and blank Gameweek 35, though subsequent encounters with Southampton and Swansea hand Eddie Howe’s men further chance to pick up the Fantasy points.

    Have DeGea and Alonso
    Doubling up ManU or Chelsea?
    A) Smalling in
    B) Christensen in

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good luck with those two, both risky.

    2. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Smalling more dependable, and Utd better fixtures in the double.

    Next season, I'm going to Bench Boost GW1 I really am not f*cked dealing with all this again. The other chips are fun to plan but this one just gives me a migraine. Call me a casual if you like, but I'm shit at the game anyway. 10 points more or less won't change my rank much 😛

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years

      Worst chip available 😮

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Agreed.

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years

        It really is.

        This.

        TC chip is pretty useless. Unless you get stupidly lucky

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          It's more fun though. And it's a lot less difficult to get right, and doesn't require major overhaul or sacrifice in the team.

    2. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tc chip has great potential value and not lucky if you play it right. I got 76 points from Sanchez a couple of years back. Kane would have got you a big haul last year. I got 32 points from BB last year. But I agree BB normally useless, as you are effectively playing 4 extra players who are all cheap and unlikely to score very much.

      +1

      Have just sussed, I’m finished trying to get DGW BBers and now just aiming to cover as many starting 11 DGWers for 34 & 37 and a decent team for 35 and everything is much easier to figure out.

      On WC now and in prep for 35, with no FH, have 4 decent SGWers on the bench for 34 who all have good figures so I’m boosting them. Happily.

      Job done!

    My SV for Firmino 9.0. Firmino and Hazard or Lukaku and Willian? Asked this on Scoutcast thread having read Jonty's surgery post and interested on thoughts here

    1. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      For next 2, the former. For double, the latter.

      1. AllGonePozzo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Probably going to stick then as transfers booked for GW34

  4. FDMS All Starz
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Start Mounie or Stanislas or B.Davies??

    1. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Stanislas, just.

  5. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one

    A) Monreal
    B) Mustafi

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mon real

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years

        Cheers double D

    2. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Monreal

    3. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Monreal gw32 Mustafi gw33. Can see Monreal being rotated for 2nd Europa League tie. Mustafi seems to be playing all league matches.

  6. brenks

    6 years, 7 months ago

    So, I have Mee & Ryan already in my team. Would you prefer Brighton double up with Dunk or Burnley double up with Lowton?
    WC active, BB, FH, TC available.

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Swansea defender?

      1. brenks
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Good shout, will consider it, tnx

    2. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would prefer Burnley, far better chance of clean sheet in the double. Swansea if you're keeping longer term for the next double.

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If you are FH35 you do not want a load of Brighton in your team from GW36 onwards (them fixtures!), go Burnley for me.

  7. LSP
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Made a few changes. Thoughts?

    DDG Ryan
    Mustafi Smalling Alonso Lowton Morgan
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gudmundsson
    Aubameyang Firmino Murray

    0.9 ITB

    1. puhd
      • 9 Years

      Looks good mate. Not too sure about Smalling tho

  8. A Team Of James McCleans

    What are people with no wildcard or free hit doing for the DGWs?

    1. JJO
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I dont have FH so...
      WC next GW
      Will have 11DGW players in 34 and then 6/7 players in 35 plus transfer(s) to get 1-3 more
      Then TC in 37

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane tc in 37?

        1. JJO
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Probably but its early to tell
          He was awfull for me whenever I captained him (except first 10gws)

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Planning a number of hits! Probably taking 3-4 hits until 34 and then bench boosting with the following team (which gives me 10 for 35 and I can get a City player in with a FT):

      Pope Ryan

      Jones/Smalling Mee Chilwell Kiko Robertson

      Mahrez Eriksen Mhki Salah Arni

      Auba Firmino Barnes

  9. JJO
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson or Mounie to play this GW?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson (unless you also have Sanislas and want to diversify the risk)

      1. JJO
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Dont have any other Bou attackers
        Just worried he could be on bench if Defoe is getting fitter

  10. European competition changes
    CloudSky
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Some confirmed changes for EL/Cl (most of them are already known, just made official)

    - 4 clubs from 4 most powerful leagues are in CL directly (no qualification needed)
    - clubs will be able to make a 4th sub in extra time
    - in the finals (of EL, CL and Supercup) teams can register 23 players instead of 18. That means there will be 12 players on the bench instead of 7
    - new time for CL matches are 17.55 and 20.00 (tuesday, wednesday)
    - new time for EL matches are 17.00 and 20.00 (thursday) -> knockout stages scrap the 17.00 time
    - in the January registration window, clubs can sign up 3 new players for the knockout stages with no restrictions whatsoever. That means that the player can play for the new club even though he played for another club in CL/EL in the group stages (Auba comes to mind)

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks a lot. Some major changes there.

      1. CloudSky
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The last one especially will make a big change and make Jan transfer window much bigger/more important.

    2. UshFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I like everything other than the new kick off times

      1. CloudSky
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I agree. Kind of feel like those early kickoffs wont have the same feeling. I'm also indifferent atm to that last change. Could be good or very bad.

        1. HNI
          • 11 Years

          It is with international public in mind. Main tv money comes from asia and they will prefer 1700 GMT

            • 7 Years

            Will they though? A lot of Asia will have just gotten the gametime pushed even further back into the morning.

                Indeed. It's better for people living in the Arabian peninsula like me I guess.

      2. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The kick off time works for the Asian crowd. I have to stay awake till 1:15-1:30 to watch CL matches.

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      23 man squad instead of 18 is awesome for players. A medal is a medal and winning ucl medals makes a lifetime of a footballer. 🙂

    4. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Rule 1 is terrible for most leagues in europe. Rules 2 and 3 I quite like and make sense. Rules 4 and 5 are a load of absolute bollocks. Don't think we can expect any fans at those early matches... Rule 6 probably makes sense in the era of transfer windows and the like.

    5. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting that they expect fans to attend at 5pm on a weekday.

      Still, if more people in Asia can watch that's what counts!!!

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You will be surpirsed many of europeans like italians and greece just laze around even on weekdays waiting for social security money. They 'work' for couples of hours on some days so should be able to watch

    6. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wow. That last one will surely mean more high profile transfers in January

      1. CloudSky
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        For sure. That one is the biggest one after the first one. Basically puts January transfer window on par with the summer one considering big clubs.

    7. ianp1970
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Does it say how many fixtures each Matchday will be 17:55 UK time kick-off?

      I'm guessing most will be from countries in the CET, CET+1 or even further East time-zones, rather than from those in GMT/BST...

      The one sticking point could be final group games being scheduled simultaneously?

      Even then there is probably a fixture compilers algorithm that will allow the 4 English sides to have either home 20:00 or away 17:55 matches, so that BT can show all the fixtures live in all 6 weeks!

    8. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That first one pretty much stinks. Its the champions league aka a league for champions of each country and yet 12 teams from the biggest leagues are now guaranteed into the cl whilst geniune champions have to qualify. Money shaping football to the behest of less powerful teams and leagues

    Thoughts? At my wits end here on my umpteenth draft

    1. Zladan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku essential

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He really isn't.

        1. Zladan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          He is a flat track bully and 3 of his 4 fixtures in the next 3 weeks are very very easy.

          But sure, go without him.

          1. Yozzer
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            He's a flat track waste of space.

            1. Zladan
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              He scored against both teams he plays in 34 already this season.

          2. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Link your team so I can see when you had him

            1. Zladan
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              I had him for the opening 10 weeks. Has to make way for Kane and Kun, who have no ceiling.

          3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I'm not, because the way my squad lines up its easy to have him and then get Kane. But some small revival of form must be put in context of severe underperformance throughout this year in terms of FPL returns.

            3 double digit hauls all season is NOT essential, ever.

            1. Zladan
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              There’s no way I could go into the DGW without Lukaku given the fixtures. Good chance he will be the highest point scorer in GW34.

              1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Also good chance he'll get an assist and nothing else. Friends on his form after GW33 I guess

                1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 7 months ago

                  Depends even

          4. fattfattygavgav
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            he's a big lump o' nowt

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        At least one Utd defender is however.

        1. Pegboy
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Agree. DDG much more essential than Lukaku.

      3. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        he really isn't

      4. Dundo
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry man. I can't bring myself to put him in my squad again. I'd rather move for a Utd defender tbh.

  19. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Baines TAA Alonso
    Walcott Shaqiri Eriksen Salah
    Aubamayang Firmino Deeney

    Elliot VLP Ake Schindler

    2.2m ITB, 0 FT, 0 WC, 0 FH

    Which option is better?
    A Eriksen > Sanchez (-4) exact funds
    B Firmino > Lukaku (-4)
    C Walcott > Mahrez (-4)
    D Shaqiri > Willian (-4)
    E Eriksen & Walcott > Sanchez & Willian (-8) exact funds

    1. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      C

    2. Dundo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure why Sanchez is being considered, especially at that price and lack of returns. But I'd go with C if these are the only options you are considering. May want to consider getting both Willian and Mahrez in perhaps.

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So much C

  20. Duffy Dunk
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any suggestions for this wc team?

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

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nice team

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Double Utd defence?

    3. thisisdiz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No plan to BB in 34?

      1. Zladan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not with Robertson Ota Monreal Mkhi Firmino Auba...

        It might be prep for 37, but that’s a risky game to play.

    4. fattfattygavgav
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nice team,

      Could maybe get a Burnley def? Lowton instead of Morgan (prefer BUR def to LEI)

      or

      Burnley def instead of Monreal /Robertson to save cash?

  21. The Trout of No Craic
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    DDG - Ryan
    Alonso Lowton Stevens - Chilwell Fernandez
    Son Salah Marhez Gudmundson - King
    Lukaku Auby Vardy

    Too light in the subs for a BB 34?

  22. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    For one week only, which do you think will get the most points?

    A) Wilshere (STO) + Aubameyang (STO)
    B) Doucoure (BOU) + Aubameyang (STO)
    C) Kenedy (HUD) + Aubameyang (STO)
    D) Shaqiri (ars) + Wilson (wat) +4pts

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      C?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. In other words, you think this hit is likely to repay itself in one week, right?

        Walcott* + Wilson > Kenedy + Auba (-4)?

        *Would bench Walcott anyway and play Shaqiri (ars) if I didn't take the hit.

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          If you cap Auba, certain. Otherwise, most probably. At least in my poorly educated opinion

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Salah captain I think. Auba VC. Thanks for your input 🙂

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              No prob. If you can extend to Albrighton I might consider him?

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Looking for players with a GW35 fixture. FH in GW34 and WC in GW36. Not certain yet

    2. Pegboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B

  23. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Smalling or Mustafi?

  24. zag
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How about this for a WC team?
    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Fernandez Vert Morgan Lowton
    Willian Mahrez Gudmundsson Son Salah
    Aubameyang Vardy Murray

    1.8 ITB - Trying to keep enough cash around to bring in Kane with 2 transfers. I'm not feeling Man United's form and trying not to go too overboard trying to get a full 15 for 34.

  25. Dele
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this wildcard? No freehit 0.1ITB. Planning to save 2FT and take a -8 for GW35. Carry over Burnley, Arse and Pool.

    DDG, Ryan
    Smalling, Robertson, Tarkowski, Lowton, Morgan
    Mahrez, Son, Willian, Salah, Gudm
    Lukaku, Auba, Vardy

    1. Dele
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Also BB in 34

      1. Little Frank
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe look at Hennessey as your second GK, only one fixture (BRI) in GW34 but could do just as well as Ryan plus plays in GW35 (wat) so will save you a transfer.

  26. Salah'd n Sauce
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed somewhere on an oder article after not realising it was dead lol

    WC Team :-
    DDG/Ryan
    Alonso/Ward/Maguire/TAA/Lowton
    Salah/WIllian/Son/Mahrez/Milivojevic
    Luk/Barnes/Aubam

    Still running with FH/TC & BB but undecided on trigger GWs.

    Hows the WC look as a starting point?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Why have TAA and to an extent milo on a wc team

      1. Salah'd n Sauce
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Enabler more than anything. Low price allowing key players elsewhere. It's not set in stone though.
        Alonso I've not had all season. He is very expensive so if I downgraded I'd probably target those to upgrade.

  27. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Baines TAA Alonso
    Walcott Shaqiri Eriksen Salah
    Aubamayang Firmino Deeney

    Elliot VLP Ake Schindler

    2.2m ITB, 0 FT,
    0 WC, 0 FH

    I plan to do a -4 hit every week till the end now starting this week which transfer should I look at?

    I'm thinking Eriksen > Sanchez as a huge differential what do you guys think?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think no. A big no from me. Much much rather Walcott>Mahrez

    2. Dundo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nope nope nope. Mahrez is more in form. Sell Walcott.

  28. goriuanx
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Here she is..

    de Gea | Ryan
    Alonso | Monreal | Vertonghen | Smalling | Tarkowski
    Salah | Mahrez | Son | Gross | Gudmundson
    Aubameyang | Firmino | Austin

    Money ITB for Monreal & Aubameyang -> Maguire & Lukaku for free in GW34.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

      Leicester a bit dog in the defensive department.

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I like it, no Willian but a good defense instead! although Vardy>Bobby

    is Ki worth .8 over A.king?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not if King is playing 10 and nailed, let's see... seems to be RM of 3, Ki is more the 10 I think?

      1. The White Pele
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        yeah, probably. cheers

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

  30. Cojones of Destiny

    6 years, 7 months ago

    knowing Pep likes to rotate and having LC in mind , would B. Silva be more or less nailed on for upcoming gws 32,33? just trying to think different from template (no wc)

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Well he's not nailed so the degree is irrelevant. You'd expect him to get a game over the period so go for it, you have good bench cover I presume.

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        i do but cant ignore manc games especially in gw 35 , FHing in 34
