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.

    Hi guys,

    could anyone please RMT and give me a few pointers. Thanks

    Emerson (Hamer)
    Mendy, Robinson, Alonso, (Cook, Wan B)
    Salah, Mane, Mhki, Rich, Frazer
    Aguero, Wilson (kamara)

    Any changes???

      Nah looks good....Midfield especially is super solid

        thanks for your feedback

      I'm a bit worried about Robertson's security of starts from this week onwards. I also think Cook is a flash in the pan. I like it other than that. Maybe only one Bournemouth player though

      1. 15men1cup
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

      2. E25
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why scared of Robertson's starts?

        1. ScratchingTheMud
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          "Both full-backs can probably 70% or 80% better but I’m very happy with the result.”

          Klopp after the game v Palace.

          I wouldn't be surprised to see Robertson and/or TAA benched at the weekend. Klopp made Moreno captain in the last pre-season game and, for the good of the group, I think he'll give some of the squad players games. His pointed comments after the game suggests as such. Rotation factor, and it is a real issue, is the reason why I think VVD is still a good pick. I also think the GW 6 game v Southampton is another problem for Robertson owners

          1. E25
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Trent maybe, highly doubt Robbo will be "rotated" this weekend.
            Moreno is a massive step down where as Clyne isn't.
            Robertson's linkup with Mane/Keita is awesome, Klopp is just saying that to motivate/manage expectations.

            1. ScratchingTheMud
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Agreed. I think it's unlikely. But there's a chance. GW6 is a definite cause for concern. It follows an international break, which Moreno will take no part in and Robertson will, then Spurs away, Champs' league game midweek....then GW6 plum fixture at home v Southampton, a fixture Klopp will have the luxury of resting several key players in and still get a result rather than risk burnout and injury for a month.

              Full back is a physically demanding role, much more so than CB. And whereas VVD is in the spine of the team, Robertson isn't. I'm afraid it's absolutely guaranteed Robertson misses at least one of the next 4 GWs and Southampton (h) fixture is the most likely

              1. E25
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                It's a fair assumption but absolutely guaranteed - no chance. Robbo was racking up the games last year and is in good shape.

                If Robbo holders genuinely think this then getting rid after Leicester would make sense ahead of Spurs away, potential blank, Chelsea away, City home. Think I'll be holding long term tho 🙂

                1. ScratchingTheMud
                  • 15 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Absolutely guaranteed was a poor choice of words. I think, shall we say, that's it's more likely than not. Moreno will need minutes to be prepared for when he is needed, and Robertson, can't play all the games, in that demanding role it's asking for trouble. He played a lot at the end of last season because the first half of his season was so quiet. An accumulation of games and fatigue may set in at the business end of the season.

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      im not massive keen on the BOU double up and Kamara isnt exactly nailed.
      Personally I would prefer a 4.5 mid and maybe Ings/Jimenez, or eek a little more cash out of defence and get a Mitrovic/Zaha or a 6.5 mid

      1. 15men1cup
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thanks, I will play around with this. I can downgrade cook and frazer I guess, but who else in def... Robinson to TAA?

    6. AB.
      • 16 Years

      You don’t need any pointers. It’s a great looking team. Good luck.

    7. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If that's a wild card team this week it looks very good, but Cook belongs no-where near it imo.
      Would rather a host of other 4.5 players and would even pick Bennett(4.0) ahead of him

      1. 15men1cup
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        noted and changed. Cook was only there for a +2 price increase if it happened

  2. ScratchingTheMud
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Already made 2 transfers. The dilemma is whether I take a 4 point hit to bring Mkhitaryan in for Bilva before his rise tonight.

    Thoughts?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      In a similar position but with Moura for a hit. Leaning towards doing it.

      1. ScratchingTheMud
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        In your position I would, definitely.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      When Bilva goes big this week and gets his 2nd rise, it won't matter

      1. ScratchingTheMud
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Will he play? Will he start right-wing back? Will Wolves park the bus?

        I trhink Mkhitaryan is a player I want long term and Arsenal are gonna smash hammers. Question is, do I do it this week or next week...

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Next week . Yes Bilva will Play, no he won't play rwb

        2. E25
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Agree I think next week seems the sensible option unless some shock news in pressers

  3. Watmore do ya want?
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do...

    A: Davies & Mahrez >> Mendy & D.Silva
    B: Davies & Mahrez >> Mendy & Pogba
    Or
    C: Another midfielder besides those two

    Thanks in advance!!

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      C tbh. With Mkhi.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer A to B but would look at the usual suspects before Dilva personally (Mane, Rich, Mkhi, etc)

      1. Watmore do ya want?
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah neither Dilva or Pogba seems quite right....Already got Rich so might lean towards Mkhi. Thanks!

  4. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hard to tell without the whole team, to see the balance. I like four strong MIDs and fodder for the 5th, but with Ings/King your D must be outstanding. You might want to link your team.

    1. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ugh, net down, this was for comment on previous page.

  5. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…

    What time are rises these days?

    1. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      2.10 apparently

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ta

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

    When Hazard returns full time, will Pedro's time be likely diminished? Will Willian be the one who affects him the most? Thanks troops

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's Barkley that drops from the team

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Can you see a formation with Willian starting as well (without Barkley?).

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to know. Pedro Willian jobshare?

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Might even be Morata who drops out. The problem is we do not know what Sarri will do yet, it is still very early days. Likewise with Emery and Aubameyang as an option.

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not so sure about that. Sarri is set on his formation and has some good fortune already.

        Can't see Morata being dropped after that performance v Arsenal.

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Sarri is a top coach, I don't think he is so narrow minded as to set up the exact same way as with Napoli as he has different player profiles at Chelsea. Saying that Hazard fits the Mertens profile perfectly and Willian playing on the left is very interesting considering how he has always played on the right.

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Mertens only came to play as a striker because Milik got an injury and they had no other strikers to replace him. He turned out great but by pure accident. Don't see Morata dropping out of first 11.

    4. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think Pedro pays in Morata's position, like when Sarri shifted Mertens up top at Napoli

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So Pedro could be the key? That's an interesting one. Thanks for sharing mate.

        1. ScratchingTheMud
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Morata is very much in Milik's mold. And Pedro, Merten's. Although it took injury to Milik to move Mertens up top, Sarri persisted with it, even when Milik returned, and he never looked back. He likes quick, technical players who press from the front and Pedro, from his Barcelona days, is perfect for that. He understands Sarri's system perfectly. And I sense Sarri really likes him. Hazard's nailed on to play left forward, in that Insigne position, and Willian is far better suited to that right wing-forward, the Callejon position, which leaves Morata out in the cold, because there's no way Sarri plays Hazard at the head of a midfield 3. He doesn't play that system. He plays too box-to-box mids and a play-maker at the base, Jorginho.

          Which is to say that I think the options moving forward, for value £to£ Chelsea players are Alonso, Kanté and Pedro

          1. barracuda
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Beautiful, thank you for your valuable opinion. Cheers mate. Need to check those stats from Napoli.

          2. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Interesting.

          3. VFORVANDETA
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            This

    5. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It could, but not immediately imo, Pedro is scoring goals.

  7. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Play two :

    A. Lowton (ful)
    B. Keane (bou)
    C. Tomkins (wat)

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I reckon all will conceed especially Tomkins without Wan Bissaka.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I think, not really optimistic about clean sheets myself. But in terms of attacking returns ? Fulham seem pretty weak in defense and conceded a lot of cross in the first two games, could be good for Lowton. Both Keane and Townkins are dangerous on set-pieces (Keane already 4 attempts). Looks like a lottery to me, to be honest. I guess I will go with Lowton-Tomkins just because I own Fraser.

        1. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe, thats what Fantasy manager for hope something for our team. But honestly, based on your comment, Keane & Tomkins realisticly should be starting xi. But I think Tomkins more likely to conceed based on Watford in form.

  8. Dopey44
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Worth a hit to do Mahrez to Richarlison before price changes?

    Hamer (Patricio)
    Alonso Mendy Robertson (AWB) (Peltier)
    Salah Mane Fraser Mahrez (Stephens)
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mhm, nah.

      1. Dopey44
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cherrs

    2. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I did it, I say yes. It's almost a liability not owning him, and he is super nailed on.

  9. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Was just about to do some Aubameyang with/without Lacazette stats but realised they've only started four PL games together. The amount of talk it got during pre-season about how Aubameyang playing wide affected him last season you'd think the sample size would be higher.

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure about the stats but it is not a secret that they like to play together (and produce).

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Minutes per xG after Auba's arrival.

        Auba - 122.6
        Lacazette - 133.4

        Minutes per xG season long.

        Jesus - 117.8
        Kun - 121.1
        Auba - 122.6
        Kane - 124.2
        (Giroud, Austin, Niasse, Morata)
        Lacazette - 161.4

        1. One Man
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Minute per goal isn't the best measure. Better minutes per point.

  10. Erlanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hey folks, do you think that Firmino, Bilva and Stephens > Mane, Mkhi and Kamara is worth a -4?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe. Stphens due to fall, Firmino not sharp enough just not sure Bilva move

  11. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez > Mkhi (-4) now or wait Mahrez perfomance this week and maybe do next week Mahrez, Kamara > 4.5 mid, Lacazette (-4)

    1. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would wait. Arsenal have a good string of fixtures, so you can get him in next week.

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, that my thought too. Want to see how nailed Lacazette next match too, when he came, Arsenal attackinh completely different

    What's your pick for the next few?

    1. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go Dilva

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      mkhi, nailed and 1.5 cheaper than dilva

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Is he nailed?

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dilva have better fixture but no one know how nailed is he. Mkhi nice fixture. Bilva good choice but play deep no attacking return.

    4. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 9 Years

    Salah Mane Bilva Rich Ralls
    Aguero Mitro Arnie

    2FT and 0 cash, looking at moving on Bilva for Mkhi or maybe one of Boly or Ralls. Any suggestions? thanks

  15. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years

    no wc but will take a -4 top heavy or back heavy?
    keeper 9m
    Mendy, Tompkins, Cedric, (wan-b, bennett)
    Mane, Salah, Richarlsen, Fraser. (4.5)
    Ayubamayang, Aguero, Mitrovich.

    keeper 9m
    Mendy, Robertsen, Alonso, (cedrc/tomkins, wan-b)

    Aguero, Mitrovich, (kamara)

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Back heavy more balance team beside I really hate your def in Top heavy

    2. One Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I prefer back heavy, and you still have Arsenal coverfor their good fixtures either way

  16. mazkills
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    Ederson
    Rob/Mendy/Daniels
    Salah/Pedro/Cairney/Richarlison
    Aguero/Auba/King

    1.6 itb

    Giving King one last run.

    A) King> Ings and Cairney > Mihki -4
    B) King > Zaha

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If you have King now, probably just use him this week. Manager who transfer out King just because panic of price drop. Sometime early transfer is good especially early stages to get as many as possible price changes for future Wildcard.

    Is it wrong that i'm actually kinda looking forward to the week when Mendy first gets benched? The meltdown around here shall be glorious.

      Pep mentioned it in his post-Huddersfield presser, it should be no shock to anyone.

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years

      I hope not this week. I got not backup def Bednarek not playing and Wan Bissaka 1 match banned.

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Me too, AWB and Peltier.

        Okay so any week after this one!

        1. Ziyech on the Bench
          • 8 Years

          Why is Peltier out?

    3. Dynamic Duos

      Well no biggy with Tomkins and Shaw backing him up

    Hey guys, whilst I'm not wild carding this week, is it better to do all your transfers first and then press wild card, or press wild card and then do all the transfers?

    I heard that if you do the former you can take advantage of price rises, whilst with the latter you can't? Sorry, I'm still a bit new to all this.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hit the button and transfer afterwards. Price rises can short term boosts for players hitting short peaks of form so not all are a good long term buy.

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      dont bother, just press the wildcard at once

    3. Peggi
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think it makes a difference when you press it, you can still take advantage of price rises if you press the wildcard early, Just make sure you press it before deadline

      2. Dynamic Duos

        Leicester

  20. Aubamewho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts will be appreciated !
    A) Mikhi > L.Moura
    B) Pedro > L.Moura
    C) Madisson > L.Mora
    E) Keep L.Moura

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A.

    2. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I went Pedro to get some Chelsea coverage , may change to Mikhi if he gets rotated. I like how attacking the new coach is at Stamford Bridge

      1. mazkills
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have Auba obviously

    3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep him, why are people grtting rid of him he's very good with Kane

    4. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep for now I think. But if anything, Pedro/Mkhi is your best bet

    5. Aubamewho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'll keep for next gameweek. Thanks for the feedback!

      You can end up with zero clean sheets actually and hopefully Ars and Che will stay quiet.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'm a bit worried about my defense indeed.

    4. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Would be nice to have Mkhitaryan

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I know. I want him and Alonso. But will take a Firmino downgrade first, and not sure I want to do that before Brighton at home, especially with hits involved.

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I agree it’s not worth a hit

    5. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably your defence. Tomkins and Lowton. Just my 2 cent opinion here.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed, but a bit sideways if I sell one of them to get an other cheap def don't you think ? :/

        1. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not worth transfer unless you guarantee players you transfer Could go big. However, Tomkins and Lowton have a nice fixture so its a no from me.

  22. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    One of your players is benched the horror, get yourself a bench

  23. SAY MY NAME
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ok chaps, got this on WC, just need to decide whether to ditch fraser and upgrade one of cook/wan b to Robertson (if so which one)

    ederson/hamer
    pva/mendy/Alonso/cook/wan b
    salah/mane/rich/miki/fraser
    kun/Wilson/kamara 0.9 itb

    fraser to huson-odoi (4.4), cook to robbo, and leave 0.5 itb, wan b provides bench cover apart from this week, rather have funds on the field than have bench players who would only get 1/2 points anyway if needed

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Or you could go with one of these options;
      1)Fraser -> 5m and upgrade Kamara to Jiminez/Ings.
      2) Alternatively downgrade pva to a 4.5 and upgrade Fraser to Pedro/Maddison and rotate 3rd def between 3 cheapos.
      If leaving as is, I would suggest you upgrade Wilson to Zaha or even Arnie

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        cheers for your comments

        I just got rid of neves to bring in miki and not keen on any 5m mids really, but yeah, fraser to pedro might work (always got wan b for palace fullback cover, just liked the idea of 4 very attacking defenders)

        just dropped arnie to kamara after much dilemma, if Wilson rises again I could afford change to zaha/arnie

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Starting to like Kante as a 5m option. Ok, he can’t finish, but he was in the box a lot causing havoc against Arsenal in his new, more advanced role

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 8 Years

            good shout, thanks

    1. Totti

      mehrez to mkhi before price rise

    2. tafrère

      Okay. I hope King wakes up for you. Mané could punish you though...

        Thanks mate

        1. Licious Lizard

          Slow it down, come on...

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I'm a bit too hyped up for this game I guess

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              No worries, but at least try to discuss the answers to your questions instead of just reposting it over and over and over again.
              Team looks good for now. Keep an eye on King and Mahrez for next week. Also i would bench Trippier and play Luiz. Not expecting Spurs to run over ManU at OT

              1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                King and Mahrez going out for Kamara and Hazard after this week. Thanks for feedback

  25. GunSlinger07
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Worried about Mkhitaryan, Ramsey could come back in and maybe Lacazette coming in.
    Will Mkhi definitely start?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's why he's 7 and not 8.5 mate

  26. One Man
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Personally I would prefer Richar/Maddison/walcott to Mkhi as they are less of a rotation risk. But maybe that is just me ?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      did you watch arsenal games?
      mkhi is essential can't be benched

    2. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mekhi seems essential to Emery if anyone Ozil will get dropped

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I totally agree with Ozil, no heart , no desire and lazy

  27. Sharpe Shuffle
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone have a view on whether Hamer will keep his place? Lossl isn’t marked injured and Hamer was badly at fault for a couple of City’s goals

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be scared if I was an owner.

    2. Game of Throw_ins
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      High chance that Hamer may lose his place.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He will lose it. Was rewarded for having a good pre season, but I suspect that good will has run out

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks, I will steer clear of him for now I think

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lossl will return

  28. Game of Throw_ins
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Please RMTOO10. WC team draft. Would appreciate your valuable insights. Thanks in advance !

    Hennessey (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Robbo (Cook AWB)
    Salah Mane Mkhi Pedro Richarlison
    Aguero Wilson (Kamara)

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The midfield is obviously fantastic, I just wish you’d had 0.5 to either upgrade Hamer or to Uprade Wilson to Zaha.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Get rid of Cook too.

      2. Game of Throw_ins
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro to Fraser and then Wilson to Zaha ?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I don’t know if Bennet (or any another 4.0 def) is nailed, but perhaps downgrade him instead?

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I like it, only 3 players different than my team

    3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very good but limited defence

      1. Game of Throw_ins
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        All 5 are nailed starters right ?

  29. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez / Romeu / Peltier to Mhki / Richarlison / Pereira (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yay
      now before price rise

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good transfers depending on the rest of your team

    3. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks. Made the moves. Just after the rise though. Oh well.

      Is it just my imagination that there seem to be more fallers than risers this year?

      Absolutely brutal

        • Has Moderation Rights

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years

          Yeah but there are more fallers than in previous seasons

    17. Game of Throw_ins

      I guess this 35 no. fallers should be the record for this year ?!
