Scout Notes – Lacazette Leaves It Late

A late Arsenal goal rush saves the day for Free Hit managers, while a Burnley forward delivers the goods to keep those without the chip in credit as well.

Eighty minutes into the Gunners’ home match with West Ham and many of the 154,000+ Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who had employed their Free Hit chip were in a dark place.

As revealed by Ragabolly’s latest Metrics article, 63.9% of the top 10,000 managers playing the chip had elected to recruit Alexandre Lacazette.

The striker had been signed by 42,000, and captained by more than 100,000, with many taking advantage of the Free Hit to bring him in after coach Arsene Wenger revealed, during a press conference on Thursday, that he wanted to give run-outs to most of the side likely to play in next week’s Europa League semi-final tie against Atletico Madrid.

That was a bitter blow to those looking to cash in on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Ineligible in Europe, he’d seemed a shoo-in for domestic action, prompting major investment ahead of Gameweek 35.

He was the third most signed player ahead of Saturday’s deadline, with 201,000 making their move. Meanwhile, 221,000 captained the 14.8%-owned forward – Arsenal’s most popular player in FPL.

Wenger’s statements on Thursday changed everything, leaving those without the Free Hit chip somewhat in the lurch.

Sure enough, Lacazette started and Aubameyang was on the bench, although at 1-1 with 10 minutes to go, neither had anything to show for their troubles.

By then, the Gabon international was on the pitch as the Gunners sought to reclaim a lead given them by Nacho Monreal, only for Marko Arnautovic to equalise for the visitors.

A goal blitz then followed, with Aaron Ramsey and Lacazette, twice, putting a decidedly flattering spin on a match in which the Hammers had been competitive until their late capitulation.

Aubameyang did at least produce an assist for his owners, with Ramsey and Granit Xhaka also setting up goals in the 4-1 win.

Maximum bonus went to Lacazette as he recorded only his second double-digit return of the campaign, his 13-point total matching his previous season’s best, in Gameweek 6.

Those points, relative to Aubameyang’s tally of four, are likely to have a major impact on FPL ranks once Gameweek 35 is done.

And Lacazette’s form – four goals in as many Gameweeks, with only two of those starts – suggests he’ll continue in the main striker role despite Aubameyang’s equally strong recent showings. He’d scored four goals in his last three home matches, and six in eight Gameweeek appearances overall.

That state of affairs, and Arsenal’s next fixture away at Man United, is persuading many of those non-Free Hitters to offload Aubameyang – he’s the second most sold player ahead of Gameweek 36, as managers look to Harry Kane and Gabriel Jesus for the run-in.

Ups and downs for others

Ramsey was another vital Gameweek 35 figure.

Signed by 27,000, he was a key differential for Free Hit investors after returning to the starting XI and producing a goal and an assist, along with two bonus points, against the Hammers.

The Welsh international had four shots, three chances created and a match-high nine touches in the box in a strong attacking display.

His 12-point return was a huge boost to his 4.0% ownership, particularly when stacked against the fortunes of those who decided to use their Free Hit chip to bring in Mesut Ozil instead.

The 2.7%-owned German missed the match due to illness – as did keeper Petr Cech – and his 9.3 price tag (compared to Ramsey’s 6.8) was a high one to pay for a no-show.

Arsenal’s defenders, meanwhile, had attracted 149,000 transfers-in for the West Ham clash, with hopes high of a third consecutive home clean sheet.

But those shut-outs were their only ones in 16 Gameweeks, and it was left to goalscorer Monreal to provide a decent return among the backline.

Owned by 493,000 and signed by 68,000, the Spaniard was the most popular of those Gameweek 35 defensive acquisitions and his fifth goal of the season means he’s now just one shy of Marcos Alonso – amazing work for a man with just one strike in his five previous Premier League seasons.

Marko the man

Predictably enough, Arnautovic was West Ham’s only bright spark.

He had four shots, all in the box, and his goal from substitute Manuel Lanzini’s assist was his 10th in his last 16 Gameweek appearances.

The midfielder also has five assists from that spell and was signed by 49,000+ going into the Arsenal match as his ownership, now at 6.1%, continues to increase.

That should mean he remains the Hammers’ one tempting asset ahead of Double Gameweek 37’s trip to Leicester City and a visit from Man United.

Before that, there’s the small matter of a home match against Man City, with David Moyes’ side still requiring points to finally put their relegation fears to bed.

Arnautovic’s owners can only hope that his form will trump what are a tricky set of fixtures.

Deadlock at Stoke

Burnley assets went into their match at Stoke City well supported, particularly by managers without the Free Hit active.

And it was striker Ashley Barnes who delivered, bundling home his sixth goal in eight Gameweek starts to earn the Clarets a point and deny their hosts a precious win.

Owned by 288,080, Barnes had proved a popular target for Double Gameweek 34, although he was jettisoned or benched by many Free Hit managers ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

The forward promptly punished that decision, but there were slim pickings on offer among other Burnley assets.

Kevin Long, with 45,000+ new investors, was their most signed player ahead of Gameweek 35, only for the Clarets defence to concede yet again.

They’ve kept just one clean sheet in 15 league matches in 2018 – only Brighton have a worse record in the Premier League since the turn of the year – with an assist for centre-half James Tarkowski at least providing some joy for his 5.0% ownership.

For Stoke, Xherdan Shaqiri was their most popular target in action.

He was brought in by 51,000+, with goalkeeper Jack Butland (7,700) ranking next.

The midfielder managed one shot and created three chances, but he failed to find the net for the seventh successive match, having delivered three in three prior to that.

Butland at least brought in a couple of save points in a performance that also earned him one bonus point, with the main hauls coming from goalscorer Badou Ndiaye and Mame Diouf, who provided the assist.

In truth, players from neither side are of much interest to Fantasy managers now, with their assets likely to provide bench back-up at best, or more likely replaced by Double Gameweekers for the run-in.

    Seeing a lot of who to get from man city posts so here's my take.
    Don't see the point of getting a defender because if rotation happens their ceiling just comes crashing down, at least an attacker could get points in a cameo.

    KDB- utter genius and an absolute privilege to watch him perform, is he worth all those extra fpl dollars though? Yes imo because he's only missed one start all season and Pep knows he's their best player.

    Dilva- only not the best midfielder in the country because KDB is, personally i won't touch because don't want to feel annoyed if his personal situation interferes with his gametime but he gets involved in every attack and often finds himself on the end of another flowing move.

    Sane- he's had his rest and fresh off winning the young player of the year could be a great option but you have to be prepared for him missing one of the gw37 juicy 1fixtures, Pep seems happy to let the peripheral players use up the sub spots.

    Sterling- fpl gold and gets in so many great positions that we can forgive him the odd inexplicable miss, could easily sit out one of the dgw fixtures but he's so prolific it may not matter.

    Bilva- very impressive v Swansea but hard to see him starting all the games.

    Jesus- not one of his better games yet he still reeled off 7 fpl points. There's always the possibility that he could be replaced by a false 9 but i don't think it's worth us 2nd guessing Pep, Jesus is young and hungry for goals in the build up to the world cup.

    Conclusion; Jesus and Sterling no brainers for me, KDB next best option but I'm not sure you can make the wrong choice, just buy your city lottery ticket and enjoy the ride.

      Like this a lot, although you cannot be certain on rotation etc. Do you think having atleast one of KDB, Sterling or Jesus is essential?

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        id want all 3, only spurs have a good enough dgw to compete with city, even if rotation happens im expecting hauls

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly.

      Already have got Jesus in using my FT. Gonna get Sterling for a hit just debating when to lose Salah

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Depends on Anfieldxpress.

        If they leak LIV lineup vs Stoke and Salah doesn’t start, then he could be sold imo... However, LIV have a great fixture at GW38 — BRI (H).

        Not sure whether it’s worth it to keep Mahrez. What’s your thinking here?

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          * AnfieldExpress

        2. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          This is why I am holding off to see if starts against Stoke definitely getting rid of him in GW37 as he doesn’t have a great fixture not too worried about GW38 as I think City will easily out score Liverpool in all remaining fixtures

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            You could be right but I'm worried about Salah vs Brighton at Home. Think he'll run riot there.

            BTW, can you suggest me what to do with my team? It's 2 posts below. I'd like to hear your opinion.

            Cheers! 🙂

      Great post. One of Sterling or KdB is a must. Jesus a good choice - but then there is Auba as an option - or even stick with Lukaku

    4. Zenith UK

      Nice post.

    5. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      Is Lukaku+Willian -> GJesus+Sterling a good moves for -4?
      Can only do the move before one of them rising in price.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

        I can see lukaku scoring against arsenal so no

    In absolute freefall atm. 9k to 28k in last 5 weeks after my WC. 🙁

    Moved from 1st to 3rd in my Cash ML. Some thoughts would be appreciated. I bb in GW37. I'm half thinking Giroud for Auba and Vert for Musta.

    Ederson Fabs
    Musta Robbo Dummett Lejuene Fernandez
    Zaha Sane Salah Kenedy Hughes
    Kane Jesus Auba

      i like the front line but youll live or die by it, it soaks up a lot of your funds.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        A lot of risky picks in there Lateriser

  3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    41 with dummett and kenedy still to play

    did I survive having no FH?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      or should I say will I?

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      FHs are on 40-60 probably

    3. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      You certainly did

  4. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Getting 3 Man City players in this week on my FHC was great

    Only problem is they are gone now. Looks like a few hits are coming this week

    1. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Same here.

      I've had to take a couple of hits to get Jesus in whilst setting up the funds to bring in Sterling for Mahrez in DGW37

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      same. i found the free hit so weird. i forgot my team, couldnt follow price changes, couldnt plan future gameweeks. odd.

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I’m wondering whether to roll the FT or not. With 2FTs in hand, think I’ll have a chance to strengthen my team more. Even though I take 1-2 hits, it’ll be OK.

      What do you think?

      DDG
      Cedric Lowton Long
      Salah(vc) Mahrez Son Willian Kenedy
      Kane(c) Lukaku

      Ryan Barnes Morgan Alonso

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        if you still have FH keep it for 38 and just go bananas

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks for the suggestions but I burnt all my chips except of TC.

  5. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Are my hopes that Kenedy could wipe out a 9-point deficit in my mini league hopelessly unrealistic?

    1. ajones1608
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      It would be wrong not to believe he is going to score a hattrick then add up how many points you would have in your head as if it has already happened..

  6. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Best combo for DGW37

    a) Alonso + Willian + Sterling
    b) Vert + Willian + Lukaku for -4
    c) Fernandez + Sterling + Lukaku for -8

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku... really?

      United lost the title battle, he rarely explodes, etc.

      Wondering whether to keep him or not...

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        So A?

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Don't know, mate. I haven't decided what to do with my squad too.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Don't like any of those really.

      I would load up on Spurs and City for the double.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Got 2 Spurs and will have Jesus plus one of the options I posted

        1. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          I hope that means you will also have Kane.
          Then a) looks best.

  7. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Who is the most nailed spurs defender??

    1. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Vertonghen by a mile

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Only vert

    3. ajones1608
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely Vertonghen, the full backs rotate regularly & Alder & Sanchez will share gametime

    4. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Vert most nailed but also least likely to produce attacking returns.

      Davies looks nailed now that Rose is injured again.

  8. Salah'd n Sauce
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Finally, after what seemed like a plague of red arrows recently. I get a full board of green arrows.

    How'd everyone get on?

    61 with Baines and Dubravka still to play. Not quite setting the world on fire but I'm happy.

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      62 with Baines and Perez still to play. Kinda happy with the result and the green arrow

      1. Salah'd n Sauce
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Good stuff. Quite similar then.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      61 with Baines to go. A slog.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Lol at all these score checks.

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Tiny standard deviation! Similar teams of course.

        2. Salah'd n Sauce
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Has there been a few Fantasy Gold... in fairness I've not really read much in the comments this morning.

    3. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      57, Baines and Perez to go.

      Good week.

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      68 with Baines and Coleman. The wife will end up with 86 after autosubs though so my ego is firmly in check!

      1. Salah'd n Sauce
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Haha... It's my 8yr old that normally does that to me.
        Good going her though.

  9. Pompel
    • 10 Years

    Christensen benched vs. Sot'ton yesterday. Is he out in the cold?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      think he’s gone for me for gw37. not keeping CS even when starting

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Think he's a goner for me to. Worst wc choice bt far - had hoped he would be a set-and-forget choice. Will be going Verthongen if I have the budget, otherwise going for a Swans defender instead.

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I dunno. It’s so hard to tell with Chelsea.

        I sold Willian for the same reason.

        Just Azpi for me now who should be OK

  10. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Everton vs Newcastle on a Monday night.

    What a god awful game to finish the gameweek with. Two teams with nothing to play for who park the bus!

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      drab 1-1 with no-one we have scoring.

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Unfortunately yes.

        Two of the most boring teams this season.

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      all this talk of Newcastle on the beach is premature I think, they’ve just got some form together and think Benitez will want to keep it going

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I didn’t say they were on the beach, but their playing style is so drab (as it probably should be with a pragmatic manager like Rafa)

    3. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'd be delighted with a 0-0

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't mind a 0-0 (Baines and Pickford owner)

    5. Syd.

      Get the matchsticks ready

    6. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Can see goals in that game, mostly due to NEW's gameplay atm. I believe they ll score first and then it will be an open game. Could be a 2-2 fs.

  11. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Hey guys, do these moves make sense? 1 FT and 0.7 ITB Other suggestions welcome.

    GW36 - Mahrez & Bailly > Eriksen & Naughton for -4 hit
    GW37 - Lukaku & GroB > Jesus & Silva for -4 hit

    DDG - Hennessey
    Bailly - Alonso - Lowton - Long - Morgan
    Salah - Willian - Son - Mahrez - GroB
    Lukaku - Vardy - Barnes.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Which Silva?

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        David. He's nailed and has had multiple double digit hauls in the past month. Sterling still a slight rotation risk.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      youre taking out two dgw players one nailed, for two less nailed dgwers for -8

      can you do mahrez to erik then think about the rest?

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I'm 0.1 short when doing Mahrez > Eriksen and so have to take a hit to enable.

        I take your points but Mahrez is a waste of space and on the beach, GroB has terrible games, Bailly not playing and Jesus has better games than Lukaku

  12. J T

    Haven’t had a red arrow since gw27.. gone down 2k places this week, can Kenedy keep this epic run going?
    From 130k - 6k

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think Kenedy will keep your epic run going but it's quite impressive

      1. J T

      You going out onto the Goodison pitch in their full kit to celebrate?

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Expect a 2pts performance. However, a double digit one at GW36.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Never seen Kenedy play so it’ll be nice to see him play

      2. J T
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Think I need that double digit this week!! 😀

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Before DGW34, I decided to hold as much as possible, so wasn't able to buy Mili and went for Kenedy especially because his GW36 fixture.

    Pope
    Vert, Chilwell, Lowton
    Willian, Gudmund, Mahrez, Kenedy
    Kane (C), Lukaku, Vardy

    DDG, Gross, Smalling, Monreal

    A) Vardy & Mahrez > Jesus & Sane (-4)
    B) Lukaku, Mahrez, Willian > Jesus, Eriksen & Sane (-8)

    I'm really double guessing myself now, I've secured my ML regardless of TC outcomes but I'm at 2,099 and 13K OR, best I've ever done by a landslide and would love my first ever top 10K finish.

      C) Lukaku, Mahrez, Gross > Jesus, Eriksen, Bilva (-8)

      I never like taking more than a -4 but sometimes it pays off i guess.

      I like the look of C the most personnel wise

        Condensed this post further down, Think I'm just leaning towards D.

    Azpi to Rudiger and Lukaku to Kane for -4 Y or N?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      No chance

      1. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Then,Mahrez to Arnie and Lukaku to Kane for -4 Y or N?

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Much better

      Not a fan of anyone from Chelsea let alone Chelsea's backline

    De Gea
    Baily Vert Lowton
    Gudm Son Sterling Mahrez
    Kane(C) Vardy Jesus

    Subs: Ryan, Tark, Morgan, AKing

    Did Alonso Willian Lukaku to Vert Sterling Jesus -8... hope it is worth it

    Anything else for a hit?

    Decided it's points hit central these next two weeks to get in Eriksen, Sterling and Jesus (for Mahrez, Willian and Vardy). Realise it's swapping doublers for doublers but Spurs and City could absolutely rake in the points and Leicester/Chelsea are not, how shall we say, free scoring at all. 8 point hit as I'll need to downgrade Alonso to Dummett to facilitate it.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'm in the exact same boat.

  18. Salah'd n Sauce
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Is any attempt to go without Salah until the end a ridiculous notion.

    Coming back from my FH my team looks like this...

    DDG
    Valencia ward Monreal
    Alli Willian Son Mahrez
    Lukaku Barnes Wardy

    Ryan, Morgan, Lowton, Milivojevic

    I am considering Lukaku + Mahrez > Kane + Sterling; but I could do the same 2 > Jesus and Salah ?

  19. Captain Vantastic™

    Are we ripping apart our teams to get in City and Spurs players?

    1. yer old da
      • 14 Years

      Yes.

    2. Holmes

      Nope

    3. Rhinos

      i have, only taking a 48pt hit over 2gws

    4. Pompel

      Well, I have had 3 Spurs playesr since Wc'ing, and none of them have delivered (no Eriksen obviously)

    A. Stick.
    B. Mahrez to Sterling.
    C. Something else?!

      Jesus would be nice too!

    Salah deserves PFA award but I'm curious as to what Kdb could have done more for that prize?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Salah was just better though wasn’t he

    2. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Probably not a great deal to be honest. But I think he has to just take his hat off at the impact Salah has had.
      His stats are ridiculous. It wouldn't have been unthinkable though for KDB to have won it given the league win.

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Nothing much really. Sometimes you just have to put your hands up and applaud the other player who was just simply too good.

  23. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Surely too early to take hits for city players? Wait and see what pep does next weekend first imo

        You got me there

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Depends if Salah starts or not

    Just lost 0.1 on Alonso. Would you sell for Vertonghen or keep since he has a DGW?

    I guess it’s a -4 essentially to sell alonso since I’d need to take a hit next week to get 11 DGW players.

    1. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Who do think will get more points from GW36-38:

      1. DDG + J.Ayew
      2. Dubravka + Vardy

      All have double in GW37, I'm assuming they'll all play and rotation unlikely.

      1. Goalosaurus
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Sorry... didn't mean to reply to this.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I'm selling. Want a nailed defender and can see conte rotating as Chelsea are in final of the cup

    3. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I have shifted Alonso so probably would sell.

      Think its more likely Vert plays both games than Alonso in 37.

      GW34 showed it may not be worth a hit to get a DGW player over a single game player.

      0.1 doesn't matter anymore imo. Id keep, depends on you backup for this week?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Dunk or Tark for double Burnley. Options aren’t bad, but not sure alonso even plays both in the double

  25. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Pope
    Vert, Chilwell, Lowton
    Willian, Gudmund, Mahrez, Kenedy
    Kane (C), Lukaku, Vardy

    DDG, Gross, Smalling, Monreal

    A) Vardy & Mahrez > Jesus & Sane (-4)
    B) Lukaku, Mahrez, Willian > Jesus, Eriksen & Sane (-8)
    C) Lukaku, Mahrez, Gross > Jesus, Eriksen, Bilva (-8)
    D) Lukaku, Mahrez, Gross > Jesus, Son, Sane (-8)

    Think I'm leaning towards D..

  26. Do I Not Like Orange

    Team (and bench) GTG for this week? Did Auba > Kane for FT, Eriksen may come in for a hit if there's an AE leak with Salah benched.

    DDG
    Lowton Tark Milner
    Sterling Salah Gudmondsson Mahrez
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Ryan Gundogan Morgan Mariappa

      1 for me. Vardy away at spurs last gw

      1. Goalosaurus

        Thanks. Swansea at home to potentially relegated Saints and Stoke in 37 and 38 does appeal.

    2. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      B for me too.

      Don't think Azpi is worth extra funds, Chelsea keep on slipping goals (although spurs just as bad recently). Worried about Davies rotation otherwise I would pick him easily.

    I think giround and sanchez are worth puttinng in becoz both have to show their capability to be in starting line up

    Lukaku is not worth keeping as he knows he is first choice striker and also not in any race

    Giround can also be a great differential if you are chasing
    ur thoughts

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Sanchez is great but I d rather have spurs / city mid
