The best set piece takers and targets for FPL Gameweek 3

Fantasy Premier League managers are encouraged to factor the Gameweek 3 set piece match-ups in their transfer plans in the next few days.

In the second of a new series of Members articles we assess once again where set play situations can be exploited.

Where this differs from the Set Pieces tab is that we have added extra detail on how many of each set piece has been taken so far, which players have had the most attempts from set-plays in terms of goal efforts, as well as how like teams are to receive or give away free kicks or penalties.

That way, by comparing each team’s overall set piece data to find any mismatches, individuals expected to benefit from these situations will become clearer.

We ran similar articles during the World Cup and found them to helpful to Fantasy managers, hence why we have decided to bring them to FPL.

Obviously we only have two rounds of data so far so it may difficult to find too many over-arching trends right now, but we’ll be building on this template every week for Members to use when making their transfers or deciding on team selection.

Any differences between the takers here and on the set-pieces tab are purely because that individual is not available in Gameweek 3.

    Begovic (Patricio)
    Mendy VVD Tarkowski (Peltier W-B)
    Salah (c) Mane Mkhitaryan Richarlison (Neves)
    King Zaha Aguero

    Already did Lucas M to Mkhitaryan.

    King to ?? for -4?

    0.5 itb.

    Cheers for the feedback!

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

      Wouldn't take -4 at this stage unless absolutely neccesary.

      1. ted mcnure
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yup. Hold,and roll those FT early on.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      4th place in my ML...4 points wouldn’t that much harm. Mmmm...

      1. Big Ping
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You say that now...

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      And tired of King hitting no points!

    4. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Given hid fixture not sure he’s worth a -4 and u haven’t avoided his drop anyway so hold

    5. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Give it another week and you can make two changes for a -4

    6. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Ok, ok....will try and hold!

  2. pressdpm
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best keeper 5.0 and under?

    1. Agger
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have Begovic, good fixtures and only 1 conceded (penalty) in first two

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I just bought Hennesey @4.5. Looked good against Pool and nice fixtures coming up.

      Not sure about that Guita guy, but people told me Hen is nailed

  3. pressdpm
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking De Gea & Jota > Hennesey & Mhikitaryan.
    2FT's. Sound good?

    De Gea
    Robertson - Mendy - Kabasele
    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Jota
    Zaha - Aguero - Arnautovic

    Stekelenburg - Wan-Bissaka - Peltier - Cairney

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I like it

    2. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'd drop Zaha tbh to do Jota to Mickey, then Zaha to..Wilson/Deeney/Gray/Mitro/Ings.. good value there. I'd rather keep DGea than worry about keepers later.

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

        Interesting. I do agree downgrading a keeper is kind of wasteful, but Zaha looked very lively against Liverpool.

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          and Zaha fixtures are amazing.

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Id do it. Have a very similar team and I did it.

  4. DAVESAVES
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can’t afford Alonso atm and was checking Azpilicueta out , 170 and 175p previous seasons. More than Alonso (177, 165p). Was all about getting Robertson this week but this gave me second toughts. So to the question. What your opinion between Robbo and Azpi for transfer in this week? Cheers

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I prefer Robbo to Azpi

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Azpilicueta has the fixtures. Alonso far more attacking st the moment though and only .1 more

      1. DAVESAVES
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. Don’t like doing early transfers but if you snooze you lose I guess

    3. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Get Robbo

      1. DAVESAVES
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Sir Yes Sir

  5. The Curse of Falcao
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    best replacement for Jota as my 4th mid? (8.2m to spend)

    a)Mkhitaryan
    b)Pedro
    c)Pogba
    d)Bernardo Silva

    ROT:
    Pickford
    PvA Robertson Mendy
    Salah Mane Richarlison Jota
    Zaha Aguero Ings

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A or C

    2. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A. Fixtures and form

    3. The Jackal
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A or B

      1. g40steve

        Both

    4. captainjilflex

      5 years, 8 months ago

      A

  6. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Fab
    Mendy, PvA, Luiz
    Salah, Moura, Kante, Neves
    Kun, Auba, Firmino

    Foster, Peltier Bednarek, Stephens

    Good idea to WC and bring this lot?

    Alonso, Robb, Cook, AWB, Rich, Ings

    1. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Don't W/C that!
      Wait, then take some money out of Luiz/Neves to get a starting bench def. No sweat. Like the dirty Chelsea dbl. Stick with that top 3 and you'll be sliding down a pole on your own TV show before you know it.

      1. ted mcnure
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Actually, 4-3-3 set up would help you keep up the alimony on those 3 top heavy babies..

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      thats a nice team which should deliver points.....no need to wc

      maybe think about downgrading firm or a def and upgrading a mid

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Moura -> Mkhitaryan?

  7. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    No easy games I need The Championship, they say.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you QPR.

    Wigan can’t wait for Saturday.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      ** in, not I need **

    2. Net Gains
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      What is going wrong at the club?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Club dying every week.

        No leadership on the pitch or off it.

        Years of Tony Fernandes mismanagement finally coming home to roost.

        We are all kinds of bad. Really. Bad.

    3. Agger
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      McLaren sacked tomorrow?

  8. Agger
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who's watching the snoozefest on YouTube over the epic game of football between Leeds and Swansea??

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Has Mark officially retired?

      1. Agger
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I turned the stream on, seen Mark wasn't there, turned it off and watched the footy. Great choice if you ask me.

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          It's a shame he's gone

    2. Dele
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Really lost its quality.

  9. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What does everyone think of Ihenacho? worth 0.5 over Ings? I'm thinking about him with Leicesters fixtures...

    1. Agger
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Proved he can score goals, so he could be a decent punt short term!

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        thanks dude.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Is he likely to get plenty on minutes or are you just looking for a temporary pick?

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        well Vardy is out for 3 games so I would expect most of those minutes, unless im wrong?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          2 PL games only though, so it's very short term (unless you expect him to have enough minutes after Vardy's return)

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            thanks

    3. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Could be genius actually

  10. Lumberjack
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is Mkhi a better option than Rich to get in now? Seems to be getting mentioned more, but maybe just because everyone else already has Rich 🙂

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      This place has made Mkhi sounds like the new Cristiano Ronaldo this week. I don't know what's going on

      1. Lumberjack
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Fixtures play a part i guess, but not sure he's justified all the hype yet.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I would only get Mkhi if I already had Richarlison. Purely on gut feeling, mind

    3. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have him and no Rich purely as a differential but feels like the Ramsey season when I of course refused to own him until finally caving.

    Mkhitaryan to go up in price tonight?
    Will Aubameyang drop in price tonight?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Look it up yourself.

      fplstatistics.co.uk

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Much quicker to look yourself

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I did. Not sure what percentage means a player is likely to increase in price

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          87.999723

          It's 100. It's even outlined in blue...

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Outline means it will change. I wanted to know how close to 100% a player is, where its likely to increase that night

        2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Over 100 means probably will

    2. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Auba keeps retreating from that price drop despite losing owners, wanted a drop before he came in tbh

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Same. Keeps hovering between 92 and 95.
        If he drops I can do Bobby and Bilva to Auba and Pedro

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Does he. Such a tease

    Serious question - why not create a members only discussion group?
    I assume about 50k regular reader of this forum, maybe around 10k only or less paying members (I completely pulled those numbers out of my sitting organ so forgive me if I’m off)

    Pages are flying and discussions are sometimes a bit shallow. Why not give the paying members an area for,slower more profound discussions?
    Might also make some more people want to become members...

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'd become a member for that.

    2. Agger
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Three's a few WhatsApp groups around.
      Ask Fantasy Football Freak if you can join his, there's about 30 regular contributors

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I tried...

        1. Agger
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Ask if you can be put on a waiting list. There's a few who drop out

      2. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        WhatsApp group is very time consuming and not easy as a forum to reply and re-reply

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Maybe. But at least you can police it a bit better. There are too many useless posts here and not enough space for genuine discussions

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Hence my suggestion

    3. doublyG

      I second this

      1. KINGVIZO
        • 5 Years

        Defo agree

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I suspect you'd get only a marginally better quality in a members forum.

      good comment, I'm fed up of reading banal questions from those freeloaders. By the way, do you think I should transfer out Salah and Aubamayang for Mane and Kane?

      1. Lord Flashheart

          You have to be joking. He is the biggest melt on this site and that is saying something. I am easily annoyed by plebs though.

      5 years, 8 months ago

      You literally can't even talk on here during games. It's become quite annoying with the 100+ Agueroooooo posts when he scores. I think an actual forum with topics would be WAY better. You could have a bunch of different categories to post where it will get a response. Really that's the biggest downfall of this site.

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You could have a "Pub talk" section where if you wanted to scream and have banter then go there. You could have a RMT section where all the teams would be discussed. You could have a club specific section for each club to discuss what's going on. The possibilities are endless with that format. This is getting to be very annoying lately especially during games. And yes I know there's already a forum like this out there, but FFScout is missing a big oppurtunity to make this the best place to come for all discussion of FPL.

    9. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Agree. I'd join again. The chat board is far too random/fast. Topic headings would be a start. I'd like embedded video clips of goals/fouls etc to illustrate points. In fact, the graphics are poor all over. I love the site, but when I paid I was disappointed.

    I think I am switching to 442 next GW, as Alonso will easily outscore 6.5 FWD (like King in my case)

    Will go with Power 4 of Leftbacks 😉 - Mendy, Robbo, PVA and now Alonso too 🙂

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      With AWB in play, PVA was starting to looking like an expensive luxury for me. Paying 4.1m for similar output allows much the same strategy for 1m less.

        How do you know AWB's output will be similar to PVA? It's been two games. PVA has scored at least 5 goals in each of the last 3 seasons.

          5 years, 8 months ago

          I certainly don't know anything more than I can see. What I see, and judge, is that there isn't 1.4m of difference between them.

      Those 4 at the back are absolutely awesome. A proper “fantasy” lineup

      With that defense you have no choice really

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years

        Salah - Mahrez - Mkhi - Richarlison - 4.5

    6. Dele
      • 7 Years

      I’m doing this also!

      Robbo, Mendy, Alonso, PVA, AWB

    Another suggestion fo improvement -the ability to post a poll
    A real,actual poll with buttons will give you 10-20 votes rather than the three or four people who reply.

  16. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Evening all which team would you choose?

    Team A) current team currently on -8
    Patricio (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Robertson (Wan B) (Peltier)
    Salah Mane Richarlison Mkhitaryan (Deondocker)
    Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

    Team B) Potential WC team
    Ederson (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Robertson (Wan B) (R Bennett)
    Salah Mane Richarlison Mkhi Kante
    Aguero Zaha (Kamara)
    (I could downgrade Ederson to a 4.5 and use the extra 1m to bolster the subs bench?)

    As I have taken a -8 currently I’m pondering WC to make further changes but cannot decide. Is it too early to WC and should I suck up the -8?

    Any advice is much apprecoated

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You need to calm down with the transfers

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Went full knee jerk to get Alonso in I’m afraid. Damage done -8. I’m a sucker when I hear price changes are imminent.

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years

          You can't play like that every week unless you like being 5millionth

            • 9 Years

      I think if you try harder you can come up with a good -16. I believe in you

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        It’s rare I do a -8 in all honesty. That deduction is troubling me as it is!. No more changes this week

  17. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    GW3: right team and bench order?

    De Gea
    Mendy Robbo Tomkins Alonso
    Salah Richa Hughes Mane
    Zaha Aguero

    Subs: Hamer, Kamara, Jota, WanB

    1. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good - whos C?

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Between Salah and Mane...

  18. Guy Demel
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can bring in Auba for Tosun or alternatively spread the cash over Alonso + Mhikitarian, although Alonso sits next to VVD and Mendy so a bit of cash locked up in def

    Like the sound of the second option still TBH, although it could back me into a corner further up should I need some cash.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Spending cash in defence can yield long term benefits if you pick the right ones. It does restrict more attacking options or flexibility in transfers so get the right value mids and forwards too. Those are harder to find.

    2. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I like the latter.

  19. n-doggg

    I have 2FTs:

    King and Cairney to:

    A. Ings and Fraser
    B. Kamara and Maddison
    C. Guendouzi and Mitrovic

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I like A

    2. Guy Demel

      A

      1. n-doggg

  20. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ

    Mark was really carrying the scoutcast.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He always does.
      Seriously the best player of the bunch and very smart thinker.
      The other are good when they have a center, not so good without one - mark is that center.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Joe is the best player IMO.

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          No no.
          Joe is good and methodical. Mark knows how to think outside the box (but unlike Granville he also knows when this box will do just fine..)

          1. doublyG
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I agree with you both. Joe is probably slightly better because he takes less risks. Mark is definitely the more entertaining because of his thinking outside the box

    2. Agger
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If I'm being honest, and sorry to sound snobby but I can't listen to people who don't understand football, I feel like they chat utter rubbish, and I know it's fantasy football, but it would be better if they had someone who had some tactical knowhow and could offer an insight from that side of the game.

      Let's say, Huddersfield were the only team to keep a clean sheet at the Etihad last season, and Wagner would obviously use the same tactics again this season, so what will Pep do this time to make sure there's no repeat?
      Play 2 strikers, and play wing backs, with one being inverted like Bernardo Silva, as Walker doesnt have a left foot. Etc etc.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why would walker need a left foot at RWB

        1. Agger
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I'm talking about mixing it up, Bernardo could bring the ball inside in that position, could play reverse balls into Aguero, maybe Gundogan could make a run around him, pull Lowë out of position etc

          1. Jack Sparrow
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            You are just spouting football mumbo jumbo rhetoric to try and prove you "know about football" hahaha

      2. Agger
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I feel Mark understands football, Jonty only understands fantasy football.

        Get someone who watches football in Europe.. people who've watched Napoli, knew that fullbacks under Sarri would be more attacking than the wingbacks under Conte, I've had this discussion with some coaches.. there's no surprise Alonso is doing well. None of the scoutcast called it.

      3. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed mate, I feel like we are on the same page.

  21. La vida FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Bilva > Mkhi -4 ?

    Wasn't a fan but coming round to this... want to do it before price rises

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It will cost you points more likely than not.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Seems unnecessary

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      no way. Why would you do it?

    4. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would debate it if it was for free. Definite no for a hit.

    5. La vida FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Thanks all.i guess will avoid.

  22. TOPCAT1960
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Do these moves have any merit please

    BDavies > Mendy
    King > Wilson

    For free ?

    1. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sure do.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      To get Mendy, I would say yes.
      Not sure if Wilson is the best cheap forward, but I can't really help you there. Between Wilson/Mitro/Ings/Jimenez

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Already have Mitrovic, and those others don't seem to be setting the world alight....

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          True, but also 1m cheaper.

          But sure, go for it.

          1. TOPCAT1960
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I would be playing Wilson in a 3-4-3 ie not bench fodder, so well worth considering given his record against Everton along with Fraser

  23. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Pick ONE:
    A) Auba
    B) Mkhi
    C) Hazard

    1. Bialystrzelec
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B

    3. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      C

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      For what?
      Quite a price difference between Mkhi and Auba.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Price is not an issue. For points and sustainability in coming GWs

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          C) Think Hazard will do very well in the coming games, although not sure he'll start next.

    5. The Curse of Falcao
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B looks like great value, Auba could be good but will his points reflect him being worth 4m more than mkhi?

  24. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do it for -4 or let Eriksen drop? Don't really want to lose value and have spare 0.4 ITB when, potentially, sell Eriksen and but replacement.

    Eriksen > Miki

    Comment would be appreciated

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would lose 0.1

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      i would do it
      eriksen playing deeper atm and spurs have a few tougher games coming up. Hes also not on all set pieces anymore. I say sell

  25. GE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    1) Zaha and Luiz -> Ings and Alonso
    2) Bilva -> Mkhi
    3) Other?

    (2FT, 0.0 itb)

    Hamer
    Mendy/Robertson/Luiz
    Salah/Mane/Bilva/Richarlison
    Aguero/Arnie/Zaha

    Bench: Patricio, W-B, Peltier/Stephens

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Why transfer out Zaha?

    2. Bialystrzelec
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I would bring another starting GK for Patricio, if I were you. Have the same pairing and IT does not look promissing. Maybe Hart or Begovic?

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        What about Henessy

    3. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      would be better sell Arnie for now

  26. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is it possible that we get the City lineup before the deadline next gmw? Some serious twitteraccounts we can trust?

    And, if you get the news before deadline that BSilva is benched, do you take a hit for instance for Mikki?

    Cheers

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 9 Years

      I dont know about leaks, but I dont think hes gonna be benched, hes so versatile (bad to fantasy if he goes right back, but good for pep) and pep loves him!
