Jimenez hits Wolves’ winner but Doherty and Jonny catch the eye

Our review of the weekend’s matches continues with a look back at the Sunday lunchtime kick-off at Molineux, where Wolves defeated Burnley 1-0.

Raul Jimenez (£5.5m) scored the hosts’ winner on the hour, slotting a Matt Doherty (£4.4m) cut-back past the otherwise impressive Joe Hart (£4.5m).

Doherty and fellow Wolves wing-back Jonny (£4.4m) stood out from a Fantasy perspective, with their performances suggesting they will rack up both clean sheets and attacking returns throughout the season.

Wolves 1-0 Burnley

  • Goal: Raul Jimenez (£5.5m)
  • Assist: Matt Doherty (£4.4m)

If there were any lingering doubts that Wolves could hold their own against the Premier League elite – if Burnley can be described as such – then the dominant display that last season’s Championship winners delivered in their victory over the Clarets on Sunday would have dispelled them.

The narrow scoreline failed to reflect the West Midlands club’s almost total dominance: no club have had more attempts on goal (30) or shots in the box (20) in Gameweek 5 so far, while only Manchester City registered more big chances and penalty box touches than Wolves across the weekend’s matches.

Speaking after the match, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo said:

Creating chances is difficult, but we produced a lot. We always have to improve. We’re going to work together to find the final touch. Talent exists; organisation we work on.

We scored one and that’s the most important. After we scored there was more space. The hard part of the game is to produce, to stay organised. And it’s two times we’ve kept a clean sheet.

The most important part is the way we played, how we controlled the game. It was a good game, no doubt about it.

After promising but understandably flawed displays in their first two matches of this season, Wolves had impressed in Gameweeks 3 and 4 with a draw against City and a last-gasp victory over West Ham United. Their performance against Sean Dyche’s troops was their best yet, however, with Wolves’ relentless pressing and direct attacking play unsettling Burnley throughout and reducing the visitors to a handful of limp attempts on goal.

Ruben Neves (£5.2m) is the only Wolves player who is owned by more than 10% of managers in Fantasy Premier League but based on what we saw at Molineux, Santo’s side are seriously under-represented in the Fantasy world.

Neves and Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) were a joy to behold in midfield. From a Fantasy perspective, their goal threat is somewhat limited: neither player had a single penalty box touch or shot from inside the Burnley area (as deep-lying “registas”, of course, this is not a failing on their part). Neves, as we have come to expect, was instead his usual trigger-happy self from distance.

Creatively though, the pair excelled. No player took more corner-kicks in Gameweek 5 than Moutinho, who appears to have the monopoly at indirect set-piece situations.

There wasn’t a single player in FPL who created more chances than Neves this weekend, meanwhile.

The Portuguese midfield pairing made more passes than any other player on show at Molineux and it was the two Wolves wing-backs who benefitted most from Neves and Moutinho’s raking diagonal balls out to the flank.

Jonny and Matt Doherty (£4.4m) were owned by no more 1% of FPL managers before kick-off, with the budget-freeing Ryan Bennett (£4.1m) the most popular route into this Wolves defence.

Doherty and Jonny though would appear to be the two names to monitor for those who like their defenders to come with an added goal threat.

No FPL defender registered more penalty box touches than Doherty (five) this weekend, with Jonny just one behind.

Both players had three attempts on goal (all of Jonny’s coming from inside the opposition area), with each registering one big chance apiece: Doherty being denied by Hart from close range and Jonny having his shot cleared from almost on the goal-line by James Tarkowski (£5.0m).

The pair also made three key passes each, with one of Doherty’s resulting in Jimenez’s match-winning strike.

The solidity of Bennett, Willy Boly (£4.5m), Conor Coady (£4.5m) and Rui Patricio (£4.5m) behind them suggests clean sheets will be a semi-regular occurrence too, with Burnley not allowed a single big chance during the match: only Liverpool have conceded fewer-clear cut opportunities than Wolves this season.

Boly’s recoveries, CBIs (Clearances, Blocks and Interceptions) and pass completion statistics earned him a bonus point, with the French centre-back also going close with a volley in the first half.

Wolves were profligate in front of goal, with Jimenez and especially his replacement Leo Bonatini (£4.9m) guilty of several glaring misses.

Jimenez at least keeps getting into himself into goalscoring positions (only two strikers have had more efforts on goal than the Mexican this season) and is the only genuine rival to Danny Ings (£5.7m) for those considering a budget second or third forward: Jimenez is the highest-scoring player in his position in the sub-£6.0m price bracket.

That Santo has named the same starting XI for five successive matches adds to Jimenez and his team-mates’ appeal as FPL assets.

Helder Costa (£4.9m) and Diogo Jota (£6.2m) had plenty of sights of goal, but neither player really convinces as a viable FPL midfield option at the moment despite their relative security in Santo’s line-up and their undoubted contributions to the Wolves effort on the whole.

From a Burnley point of view, there was little to cheer.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) returned from injury to take his place on the left wing and was the Clarets’ main goal threat, registering more shots (none of which caused Patricio any bother) than any of his team-mates.

Matej Vydra (£5.9m) was a bright spark upon his introduction and the collective failings of Chris Wood (£6.4m), Sam Vokes (£5.4m) and Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) this season would perhaps suggest that the former Derby County striker isn’t too far away from a start in attack.

Vydra’s volleyed effort, which came within a whisker of being turned in by Jack Cork (£4.9m) at the far post, was the closest the visitors came to scoring on Sunday.

Dyche had rolled out a 4-4-2 for the first time in the league this season in a bid to pose more of an attacking threat, but the Burnley boss bemoaned his side’s lack of creativity in his post-match interview:

The better side won, first and foremost. But from our point of view the intention to play hard was there, and it was a poor goal.

We knew it would be a tough game against a team with a real connection and we did well in terms of our defensive play in terms of getting the blocks and clearances in, but we didn’t have enough on the offensive side of the game today.

That’s as a collective. There were too many misplaced passes and we gave the ball away cheaply far too many times and it’s like a fog has dropped onto the group.

Dyche was right to highlight the defensive contributions of his side, with Ben Mee (£5.0m) and especially Tarkowski throwing their bodies in the way as Wolves mounted attack after attack, but full-backs Phil Bardsley and Charlie Taylor (both £4.4m) had a torrid afternoon against Jonny, Doherty, Jota and Costa. Stephen Ward and Matthew Lowton (both £4.9m) may fancy their chances of a recall soon.

In the end, the Burnley backline was indebted to the efforts of Hart between the sticks, with the former Manchester City goalkeeper making several stops – the best of which was from Jimenez – to keep the scoreline respectable.

Hart has now made more saves than any other goalkeeper in FPL this season, simultaneously highlighting his own good form while drawing attention to the porous defence in front of him.

Burnley sit second in our Season Ticker for the next three matches, but with Dyche talking of a “fog” descending on the group, there seems little incentive in drafting in the Clarets’ FPL assets into our squads at this present time.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny; Costa (Traore 66′), Jimenez (Bonatini 76′), Jota (Gibbs-White 88′)

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Hart; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Lennon, Hendrick (Westwood 79′), Cork, Gudmundsson; Barnes (Vydra 56′), Vokes (Wood 70′)

    I hate doing early transfer (Pedro to Fraser), now have to consider stupid hits for almost a week..

    Holebas or Bennett to Doherty? (Clearly not, but why am I thinking it?)
    Wilson to Zaha?

    Pat (Hamer)
    Mendy - Alonso - Holebas (Wan, Bennett)
    Mane - Hazard - Fraser - Maddison
    Aguero - Lukaku - Wilson

    1.0 itb

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

      No hits needed. Your team looks great.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No hits needed with this at all. AWB can come in for a Mendy no-show if needed.

      Depends on your attacking sub for Aguero, but likely he'll be fine anyway from the sound of the ITKs.

      1. Dacra
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ah I forgot to put my "attacking" sub, Hojbjerg 😀

  2. Astronautovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is hazard essential?
    Yes he scored a Hattrick but he doesn't have such great stats.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not essential but a good pick with other premium assets struggling at the moment

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

        That's true yes.

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah vs SOU will outscore him I think. I have Haz

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

        Salah looks so great but it looks like he is a bad finisher

        1. captainjilflex
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Come on, he is clearly not a bad finisher did you watch him last season. Just starting a little slow this season but underlying stats are there

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would't say essential, but a decent pick

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

        Thanks for your opinion

    4. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If i didn't already own him, i'd be prioritising getting him in, this week. Sarri's comments make good reading

    5. Jontharon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Did Salah>Haz late saturday night, kinda regret it..

    6. bhunasallround
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      yet to blank

    7. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      returning in every single game even the 10 minute cameos says yes he is essential before his price gallons

    8. Sensible Scouter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Think of him as a Chelsea striker who gets 20% more points per goal, and a point for each clean sheet. Hard to ignore at less than 11m.

  3. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Kinda annoying the price rises. Forces you at time to make transfers early before midweek European games are played etc.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Just ignore them. Points far more important than a few 0.1’s here and there

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I think he's referring to being priced out of a transfer because a player rises, and they can no longer afford, very frustrating

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Always an alternative, potential for hits

      2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm, from someone just 2 of those 0.1s away from being able to do salah and siggy to hazard and mane, I'd disagree. Especially at this stage of the season

        1. J T
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Before Xmas it’s all about gaining tv with early transfers and keeping WC as back up, after Xmas less important and points take much bigger priority

          1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed. I tried the minimum hit thing for like two weeks and it's so frustrating (obviously not long enough, decided I didn't enjoy playing that way). TV plummets, can't get onto the hot players, frustrating.

            1. Sensible Scouter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Yup, agreed. If you can keep your wildcard back, it frees you to make the early transfers. Just brought in Fraser to avoid being priced out. If I have more than 2 out next week I'll need a hit/WC, but no point having the safety blanket if you never take any risks so that you might need it.

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Your TV seems really low.. 100.8? I’m sitting at 102.6.

          1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, I hear that! Frustratingly low. Had a lot of people fall early. Some bench fodder dropped twice, damn you Hudson odoi! Having to recover some now by taking hits

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

      I think it’s a great aspect for the game, brings more factors into how you can play the game making more fun and dynamic

    3. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd prefer more volatility not less tbh ... price rises are fairly slow these days

    4. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I like the algorithm this season. Not many double risers or fallers but lots of single fallers brings more players into the player pool to choose from.

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Early transfers and hits? Not for me. I avoid them like the plague.

  4. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson / Stekelen
    Mendy / Robbo / PAV / AWB / Peltier
    Salah / Hazard / Walcott / Townsend / Stephens
    Aguero / King / Tosun

    Looks like a mess with Mendy and Kun injuries, any ideas?

    2 FT, 0.1 ITB

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd hold off until the presser

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pep apparently said that Kun injury isn't that serious and that he can play on Wednesday if needed. Mendy I have no idea, read on a City forum that he was out on a stag do night before the match...

    3. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      its looking like Kun ok so just mendy to worry about. i hope

      1. trinzoo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks guys, will get rid of Tosun first then 😀

  5. SPorting

    How much OR are Fraser bench points worth?

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your rank. Find someone in a league with 18 ish more points than you and check their rank.

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

        Blimey. 100k difference!

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Glad I didn’t 🙂 Been good at picking players this season but very poor at picking captains. How about you.

          1. Oven Glover

            I went with Aguero thankfully. Risk was too high not too.

            1. Oven Glover
              • 8 Years

              My thinking as well

    It's still September and my team is already starting to light up like a xmas tree.

      Same here...tis the season to be jolly...

  7. SPorting

    If Mendy and Kun are out it means Doherty and Jimenez come from my bench to save the day! 🙂

      Cool name

  8. Manumana

    Really appreciate your advice. Aside from Mendy & Kun assuming right now they are fine. With 2 ft's wot would u change if anything ? Cheers

    2. SPorting
      • 12 Years

      Jimenez in if Mendy is out.

      But it Kun is also out....hmmm.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If Kun is out I will bring in Aubameyang on my ft

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      Nope - looks fine to me. Fwd line looks weak is the only concern.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe I lose one of the mids in the coming weeks and the extra Striker and Ward as 5th mid

  10. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    With .2 cushion do you think I'll be able to wait until the end of the week to buy hazard and Bennett?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah as long as those you’re selling do not go down

  11. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Cant decide if I should bring Hazard in place of Mane this week for a hit. Also have Salah.

    If Mane plays 90min in CL, you recon he can be benched vs Saints?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He will start both games

    2. ajones1608
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If Mane plays 90 mins then yes, can see Shaqiri getting gametime. However if Salah plays 90 mins, could be him

    3. jiGGidyJ1
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He'll start both games, it's the league cup after the Saints game, so plenty of time to rest players then.

      1. Dyballer
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This seems like the most likely scenario

  12. martyhan

    5 years, 6 months ago

    No ft as I just got in hazard before the price rise . Would you wildcard this team or is it ok?

      Looks great mate, i guess you're looking to WC out the injuries?

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

        Thanks, yeah I'm fairly happy with it. It's just all them yellow flags. No need to panic I guess. My bench is very weak too but sure there is no point in wildcarding to change a bench around

    2. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably stick with that team, monitor kun's supposed injury.
      I may just swap him for Lukaku if it looks like he won't play.
      I'm in a similar situation with Mendy also crocked.

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

        Cheers. The good thing about the Mendy injury is that loads have him so we are all in the same boat I suppose. Hopefully he's ok by the weekend. Fingers crossed

  13. JasonG123

    WC this lot or save it one more week since I have 2FT and want to take advantage of Liverpool’s fixture.

      similar situation, if kun and mendy are fit to play then wait

      i'm already on a -4 but now kun,mendy,ings still troubling me

  14. ajones1608
    • 6 Years

    Pretty happy at the moment but looking to offload PVA & Walcott next GW, thoughts on a double switch? got 0.2 ITB.

    1. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      would prioritise Walcott I think. I've got PVA as well and am holding for the next 3 games probably since they're quite favourable. Tomkins back shores up the defence, and he's still posting decent attacking stats.

  15. rdamjan

    I know it`s late call, but I hope I can find few more players for Champions League ML. If you are intersted drop me an email for details: damjanrupnik@gmail.com

    Did a rage transfer to take out MKhitaryan to Fraser, sick of his bullshit 1 pointer week after week. Now Kun & Mendy are out. Just great news. What to do with this lot?

    Cech
    Wan B Mendy(?) Alonso
    Hazard Salah(c) Fraser Lucas Pedro
    Kun(?) Wilson
    Sub: Hamer, Bennett, Kamara, 4.0.
    0FT, 2.1ITB.
    Not keen on playing Bennett away against United. If Kun and Mendy are both confirmed to be out should I do 4.0--> Trippier/Perreria?

      they aint 'out' bro
      take a step back back from fpl and wait till thursday

    2. Jafalad

      5 years, 6 months ago

      You need to take a moment or two to think things through. Wait till we know more about the CTY players.

    3. J T
      • 6 Years

      Ask the people that owned Fraser Zaha about yellow flags and over reacting

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

        This 100%.

    0 ITB & FT.
    Should I do Walcott > Maddison before price changes probably tonight?
    Thing is though if I do that and my 11 are all fit to play who do I drop but if I wait I won't be able to make the move?!
    Would love to know your thoughts what you guys would do in this situation.

    Schmeichel
    TAA AWB Alonso Mendy
    Mane Dilva Moura Hazard
    Zaha Aguero

    Stekelenburg Walcott Cook Kamara

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Save. Assess players post-CL.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Can't see any of the price sites which show Walcott falling / Maddison rising tonight so I think you can relax on that front.

      That being said, I think it's a fairly clear transfer from Wally to either of Maddison / Fraser / Richarlison. Rest of the side looks strong enough.

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        So in the back of that would you do Walcott > Maddison or not?

    Currently on WC. Is this team any good, or back to the drawing board?

    Hennessey (Hamer)
    Alonso Robertson AWB (Bennett Kenny)
    Salah Mane Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Deeney (Kamara)

    1. bhunasallround
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      wouldnt have salah and mane at this moment in time
      maybe mitro instead of deeney

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        C’mon really? LIV are home to SOU next weekend.

    2. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Agree, I'd put David Silva in instead of Mane/Salah and use cash to upgrade Deeney--> Mitro (and maybe Kamara--> Ings if Salah out)

  20. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Anyone else keeping faith with Bilva? I was all set to cut him loose until I watched MOTD. He looked like the best player on the pitch.

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm selling for hazard. Bilva ownership so low I don't see it as a risk taking him out.

    2. The real slim shady
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I am prob keeping. He looked good. Sterling among others wasted chances thta would have given him a couple assists.

    3. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping, partially due to having other fires to fight (Mkhi, mainly).

      Pep loves him though, and he was really unlucky not to return - notwithstanding that terrible effort towards the end - so am hoping he can deliver in the next 2 and reward patience.

      Long term I think I'll want KDB once he's back.

      Doherty

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

        But only because I already have him.

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      One of the BOU lads?

  22. mad_beer ✅

    Mendy. What do I do with him?

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for info

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

      Keep him.

    3. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      As long as you have replacement, just nothing atm. He won't drop more than 0.1 and you will have more info next monday

    What to do with this team? 1ft 0.1itb

    Hennessey
    Alonso Mendy WB
    Hazard Mane Dilva Maddison
    Kun Laca Wilson

    Foster Ward Doherty Bennett

    1. SPorting

      Nothing. Save your FT.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Although you might want to buy a sofa for Salah(C) vs. Southampton

    4. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Save, but Laca to someone else (as much i hate to say it as a gooner).

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    1FT and 0.3itb. Best advice?

    A. Save FT
    B. WC
    C. Ship Pedro, Kenedy, Cairney, Kun or Arnie with the FT.
    D. Take a hit and ship a couple

    Patricio
    Mendy* • Alonso • Robertson
    Salah • Pedro • Mané • Kenedy
    Aguero* • Arnautovic* • Zaha
    (Hamer • AWB • Tomkins • Cairney*)

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      I'd save...if all recover.

    Did Alonso not get an assist for Willians goal on the weekend?!

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He did assist the goal but was not rewarded by Fpl

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years

        🙁
        I have no words

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          The ball change direction and didn't go to the intended target, it came off a defender so no assist , (Alonso owner)

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

            Rightly so.

  27. The real slim shady
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My ghostship team is beating my normal one. And that is by alot.

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

      What’s the other team for?

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        To make him feel better, but in this case, worse.

  28. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A. Robbo Bilva > Bennett hazard
    B. Same + ings > Doherty hazard Jimenez -4

  29. RustyBz
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku on wildcard- yay or nay? fixtures look good.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He is an option , Lukaku or Aubameyang may replace Aguero in my team

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on how your team will look overall, he does look like he's in form, but sadly rarely scores more than 1 goal a game for Utd(so far).

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hmm...not yet convinced he is great value. Hardly ever scores more than one goal so for me, with all these budget options about right now, he makes no appeal.

  30. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    On wild card.

    A. Zaha, Mitrovic 343
    B. Zaha or Mitrovic + Madison 352
