The Community Round-up: Hazard, Mendy and crushing disappointment

The Fantasy Football Scout community have been at their tireless best again this week, producing the usual excellent array of articles and tables to help with our planning for Gameweek 6.

The hot topics, meanwhile, have ranged from Eden Hazard’s hat-trick performance to the biggest Fantasy Premier League let-downs of 2018/19 to date.

We also look over the various tournaments and mini-leagues that involve FFS users.

Our latest Community Round-up feature has it all covered.

The Hottest Topics

Rotation’s Alter Ego, who also brought us a helpful injury news summary, asked the community for their thoughts on Eden Hazard after the Belgian’s monster haul in Chelsea’s win over Cardiff City last weekend.

Our daily hot topic on Monday asked the community for their recommendations for forwards priced at £7.0m or under, with the cases of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Callum Wilson and Wilfried Zaha, among others, championed.

Fantasy managers love a good moan and FatmanAndRobin‘s hot topic that asked for the biggest FPL disappointment of the season so far drew a lot of responses.

stat meanwhile raised the thorny issue of multiple FPL accounts and presented several excellent ideas on how this practice could be clamped down on.

Those who like to skip to their favourite bits on the Scoutcast will find Rotation Alter’s Ego meticulously marked timestamps very useful, while this week also saw the launch of a new video series on our YouTube channel. J0E was joined by Triggerlips for our very first Meet the Manager and subsequently asked for further candidates to make themselves known for future editions of this show.

ItOnlyTook9Years summarised the points needed to reach each milestone overall rank after Gameweek 5, while G-Whizz brought us his weekly triple whammy of “Doosra stats”, clean sheet probabilities and fixture odds ahead of Gameweek 6.

The look ahead to this weekend continued with our speculations on who will be the breakout star of Gameweek 6, while we also analysed the FPL lessons from the UEFA Champions League matches in midweek.

Benjamin Mendy was ruled out of Manchester City’s trip to Cardiff City by Pep Guardiola on Friday, meanwhile: are you keeping or selling?

Away from FPL, we asked what your goals were for the remaining eight weeks of Fantasy Eliteserien.

Community Articles

Three excellent articles to bring you this week.

With the UEFA Champions League getting underway, The Cisco Kid gave us a helpful primer on the UCL Fantasy game.

Hutch_James brought us the weekly Wisdom of the Crowd, while Greyhead returned with our regular The Great and the Good.

Community Tables

Below is a selection of the many fine tables created by our site users in the Members’ area. Remember, to see your table featured here (if that’s what you want!) please ensure you include a description explaining the purpose of it.

Community Tournaments

Cosmin Rotaru still leads our main public FFS League and is now up to 12th overall.

Andrew McKinnon is the new leader of our FFS Members League with 102 points this game-week, his third century of the season, after captaining Hazard and has shot up to 42nd overall. This is his second FPL season and he has not yet used any of his chips.

Chris James has taken the lead in FFS Mods & Cons after playing his wildcard. This is his ninth season, and he should stand a good chance of beating his previous best finish (28,110th in 2014/15).

Ben Harwood is the new leader of RedLightning‘s Top 10k Any Season mini-league after captaining Hazard and is up to 54th overall. This is his sixth season, his highest finish being 374th in 2016/17. He also continues to lead PDM’s Top 1k ANY season mini-league.

The new world number one is Brayden McCullough with a Gameweek score of 118 after captaining Hazard and having Fraser auto-subbed from the bench. This is his 1st season and he has already played his Triple Captain and Wildcard.

In TorresMagic‘s Last Man Standing competition, former winner Nice To Finally Michu top-scored with 112. The safety score was set at 45, which saw 217 eliminated and over 3,200 remain.

A Community Tournament of a different kind… (by Peter Kouwenberg)

February 24th 2018. The big winners were Liverpool and Brighton, who each recorded 4-1 victories in their respective triumphs over West Ham and Championship-bound Swansea. However, in North London, under the banner of Sparta Rotterdam, a team of FFScout luminaries were also celebrating, as they lifted the inaugural Fantasy Football Scout Charity Cup, a real-life football tournament which brought to together over 30 grassroots players from around the country.

The Charity Cup is returning in the afternoon of Saturday 17 November 2018 (during an international break) and promises to be bigger and better than ever. Format will depend on numbers, but with a full 3G 11-aside pitch (which can also be divided) available to us all afternoon between 2pm-7pm we have the capacity and flexibility to structure the day however we wish and play until we drop or succumb to the pub landlord’s call.

We are extremely fortunate to have secured The Thomas Parmiter Sports Centre in north Watford (WD25 0UU), which is a fabulous facility and is perfectly located just minutes away from Junction 6 of the M1 and Junction 21A of the M25. For those travelling up from London by train, Garston Station is just 1.5 miles away. We will have the entire venue to ourselves with ample parking and with a number of pubs barely a mile away.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to take part, whatever the level and whether you are fit enough to play all day or just make a cameo appearance. We’ll be organising players into squads so you don’t need to round up a team yourself, although feel free to bring invite a guest player or two to boost the numbers. All you need to do is email peter.kouwenberg76@gmail.com as soon as possible to confirm your interest and provide your contact details, at which point you’ll be added to the relevant WhatsApp group unless you would prefer to be kept informed by email or text instead.

February’s tournament proved a huge success and raised over £1,000 for Melanoma Research Foundation. This year we hope to raise more even money, involve even more players and do even more post-match drinking…

    So Haz (c) for me. Options were Kun or Haz; only going with Haz because I can watch him on the tele!

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Those are the three options 😀

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        For me yep!

      2. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'm kinda tempted to go Mitro. Will probably bottle it, but hey... feels like a lot of good options this week.

  2. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mendy owners (aka everybody)...
    Those who are on a WC, are you ditching?

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

      For sure. Might not if it was for a -4 or something though.

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

      Y

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Que?

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

          Yes.

    3. ♤TeddyBear♤
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ditched. Will be a rotation risk anyways

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        What you mean rotation risk?

    4. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I've sold

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not fussed about the buy back price?

    5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Makes sense on a WC

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

      Olny thing that keeps me with him is loosing money when buying back.

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yep my thoughts too bro. (See above)

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

      Not on WC. But keeping this week since I can take the first price drop, will drop him for next week if things get severe.

    8. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. If I just had one FT and other priorities I might wait for more visibility on return date, but I reckon there's no point having an injured player with wildcard active.

    9. GHB
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw or smalling

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

    Thoughts on this WC?
    Doubling up on Liverpool for this fixture only, then one of those will be switched to Hazard.

    Ederson
    Alonso - Shaw - Trippier
    Salah - Mane - Fraser - Maddison
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Zaha

    Stekelenburg - Wan Bissaka - Bennett - Biling

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

      shaw to TAA
      Mane to hazard

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

        *downgrade ederso as they dont make CS and use funds for those moves

  4. slasken
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    hmmm. I have had Mendy from the start and I have 2.7m in the bank. Easy swap to Alonso? I am playing Robertson - WBisaka - Shaw if saving transfer.

    Begovic
    Shaw - Robertson - WBisaka
    Mane - Hazard - Walcott - Fraser
    Aguero - Wilson - Firminio

    Ryan - Doherty - Stephens - Mendy

    Any advicee?

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah no brainer really

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I've never understood how anyone can carry that much in the bank. Why not upgrade Walcott or Stephens?

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

    Really want to get in Hazard, but also want to get rid of Mendy, Walcott, Arnie.

    Mane+Arnie+Mendy -> Hazard+Mitro+DEF (5.5 max) for a -8 hit?

    Team is
    Fab Foster
    Alonso Robertson AWB (Doherty Mendy*)
    Salah Mane Walcott* Fraser (Hughes)
    Aguero Arnie* Wilson

    0.3 itb

    1. slasken
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No way. Mane + Arnie can def outscore Hazard and Mitro, so crazy to do it for a -8. Your bench will do fine..

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

        I suppose I might have gotten a bit carried away with the fear of Hazard. Might be smarter to get rid of for example two of Walcott, Mendy, Arnie for a -4, or just one of them

  6. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How’s the Wildcard team looking?

    Ederson
    Alonso Robertson Shaw
    Hazard Mane Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Firmino Mitrovic

    Button Wan-Bissaka Doherty Hojbjerg

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

      Nice

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Like everyone else's

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

      Nice - you basically have Mane/Firmino instead of Salah/Wilson though which I'm not 100% convinced about.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’d expect the Liverpool pair to score more.

    4. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I think it’s a bit Salah-less bro but apart from that all good

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Of course. A Salah-less team is justified imo though.

  7. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Loving the Mendy selling, got him at 6m so can afford a drop and wait for more news.

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Feel I have to on WC.. could well regret it

      1. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If you're on WC it's a no brainer to ditch him. He could easily be at 6.3m by the time you get him back which only loses 0.1m

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

      No you're not.

      1. I drink and I know things
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Could Mendy drop in price tonight or only once into GW7?

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        And whotf are you that thinks they know me?

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

      Good option if you have a decent bench

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You won't love it if he's ruled out for 3 weeks.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Obviously not, then I would sell.

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

          Then you would have ridden a 6.2m defender for 2 blank weeks and sold late.

          The way I see it, he's injured and not training this week, next week he trains with the team, but you look at the fixtures, Brighton (H) compared to the Champions League game, and I seriously doubt he plays and that's provided he's fit and doesn't have an injury setback.

          The week after that he has liv. I don't see how you can keep him.

    5. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It could go either way to be fair.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        The key thing is, it'll buy some time. He won't drop tonight, and if he does tomorrow night there's no effect to the margin.

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

          Why don't you think he'll drop?

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

      Hypothetically, if you bought him at 6.1, would you still be happy to hold? Or sweating over the potential price drop?

  8. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    A few questions for my WC!

    1. Fraser or Maddison?
    2. Wilson or Jimenez?
    3. Which two of Shaw, Trippier and Doherty?
    4. Patricio with Hennessey or Fabianski?

    Think that's all..

    How is everyone else doing?

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison
      Wilson
      Trippier, Doherty
      Hennessey

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        The Maddison option is a recent one.. was set on Fraser but now I'm second guessing it.

        Defence is giving me benching headaches already

        1. Pooodle
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I was choosing between Wilson and Fraser this week and looked at their xGI which has a winner by miles...

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I know.. Fraser was a lock but I'm now wondering if I was just caught up by his big score

            1. Pooodle
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Also, didn't you wildcard in GW3...?!

              1. Geoff
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                I get two 😉

                5 years, 6 months ago

                (no I didn't.. thought about it last week though!)

                1. Pooodle
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Maybe your link in your profile to FPL is out of date then? That guy wildcarded in GW3

                  1. Geoff

                    Yikes. Try that one

                    1. Pooodle
                      • 14 Years

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

      Fraser for me, on better form. But is difficult to choose.
      Wilson is just a better player, they both miss their share.
      Trippier and Doherty.
      Fabianski

      I'm holding 2x Liv def for SOU, then going to WC after this GW with a revamp in mind

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, should probably just do Wilson. Looks like Doherty is consensus. Why Fab? He's who I was on but I'm leaning Hennessey now

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

          Patricio's fixtures turn bad about the time Fabianski's turn good.
          Also I think Fab is the better keeper

  9. Pooodle
    • 14 Years

    What's the best option this week and going forward?

        Thanks - been hoping to hold the wildcard but I would feel unlucky to have another week when I need to change at least 4 starters to hope to get 11 playing so think it's probably worth it.

    1. Stevie B
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A in my opinion. Wolves are much better than West Ham.

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

        This is my thinking but ti goes against my usual rule of playing the home keeper. Thanks for the reply

    2. Pooodle

      B

      1. The_Colonel
        • 10 Years

        Thanks for the reply. If you had Hazard in your team and no UTD, would it change your mind?

        1. Pooodle
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Hmm I don't think so. It's a tough one, I would expect both to concede so I could see that perhaps Patricio has more chance of saves... but maybe Fab has a higher clean sheet chance.

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

            Might just flip a coin tomorrow morning and hope for the best. thanks,

    Best Mendy replacement? I am not sure about Trippier.

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw, Trippier, Doherty for me

      1. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Will Shaw play? Is he not a rotation risk?

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I have a very strong bench 😀

          I guess he is, yeah

    2. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Walker?

      1. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Unfortunately too expensive.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      FFS need to do a Vote system for things like this, Same as for the Captain pick. Save the same question being asked a million times.

      PS. I want to know the answer so i'm not having a go.

  15. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    RP
    Should I ditch Mendy? Bought him at $6.3 million and to ditch him now it would require a -4. And who would be the ideal replacement (already have Alonso and Robertson).

    Personally think I should wait until next week to do the transfer on a free and just play Neves.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Your plan to wait is wise

    2. RichRover
      • 11 Years

      Put up your hands and step away now

  16. Manani
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Tosun + Mendy > Bennet + Laca? (-4)

    will playing AWB instead of Bennet

  17. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Did AWB create any offensive chances in his last match? Thanks ( I see he had 3 BAPs)

  18. Thomas Jerome Newton
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Anywhere I can get figures for points per match for home fixtures only?
    I'm looking for a 3rd defensive rotation with Holebas and Wan-Biss'.

    1. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Also have Mendy, Alonso, Robertson. Looking to swap Mendy for 3rd rotator on Saturday.
      Will spend the difference upgrading Neves (my 4th Mid).

  19. Dokdok666
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    WC is basically down to

    Haz+Ings (WB/Benn/Quaner)
    or
    Dilva+Mitro (Ings/WB/Benn)

    Which is better in this day and age, with rotation and all..?

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard option.

      1. Dokdok666
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        You don't think I'll regret the weak bench? Bennet could lose his spot , meaning I'm down to one playing bench player

        1. Pooodle
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I think having 2 playing benchers is fine for now. If he loses his spot you can address it when it happens

          1. Dokdok666
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Where I'm at too tbh.. we are blessed with two playing 4m defenders, why not try and take advantage of it, hope it last

  20. Pachi
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Foster
    Vvd - alonso - AWB
    Maddison - hazard - mane - richarlison
    Aquero - zaha - arnie

    Fab / boly - stephens - mendy
    Already used my FT doing mkhiki to richarlison.. should i keep arnie or -4 for mitro?

  21. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Getting there with the WC team. Two big questions:

    1) D Silva and Zaha or Fraser and Lukaku?

    2) Go with Ederson or rotate 4.5s such as Patricio and Hart? Sold Mendy so Citeh defensive coverage might be useful.

    Cheers!

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

      1 is tough one, maybe A
      How about hennessy and ryan?, now play hennessy, at gw10 onwards play ryan

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

        Nice one, thanks. Those two rotate well.

  22. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shaw, Holebas or Pereira as my final def?

    Patricio - Hamer
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - Wan-B - ?
    Salah - Hazard - Maddison - Fraser - Højbjerg
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Ings

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

      From those options I'd pick Holebas

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

        Cheers. Any other suggestions? A penny for your thoughts!

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

          Looking solid all around tbh. I could be a bit biased though since this looks almost exactly like my WC squad (only differences are Hamer, that final defender and Ings - I've got Foster, Laporte and Wilson.

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

            All right, cheers. Looks like a nice team!

            Hard to decide, will Holebas be able to keep up the attacking returns? Not expecting too many clean sheets from Watford, but his heatmap is crazy good

    2. The_Colonel
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pereira for me

  23. FootballPhenomenon
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start this GW:
    A) Fraser (bur)
    B) WBA (NEW)

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

      I'm starting both, but have a strong feeling for a cleanie for Wan-Bissaka

  24. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Vert/alder or walker as mendy's replacement?
    I think if I chose walker, it will be tough to get mendy back
    Doing a transfer to change a city defender to another one
    And city faces liverpool gw 8
    Thoughts?
    Trippier would be best if there were no rotations

  25. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pedro & Ings -> Richarlison & Zaha?

    If not, would have to play Pedro and hope he features, and get Højberg or Bennett off the bench.

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd make those moves

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

        Forgot the vital info that it's a -4 ....

        1. Pooodle
          • 14 Years

          I still would

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      Ings to zaha isn't worth it long term

  26. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Foster - Fabianski
    Alonso - Mendy* - Robertson - AWB - Peltier
    Salah - Mane - Fraser - Mkhitarian* - Stephens
    Aguero - Arnautovic* - King

    1 FT and 0.0 in the bank..

    A. Miki & Arnie --> Maddison & Mitrovic (-4)
    B. Miki --> Richarlison
    C. Arnie --> Mitrovic

      I did

      1. Ray In Bruges.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Can you explain why? I have an FT but I'm holding onto Bilva for this GW, I think he will play and looks a goal threat.

        1. Pooodle
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I don't think he will start considering the midweek teamsheets and he seems to be currently unable to convert stats into points.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who for. He probably won't start, but may come on for a 1 pointer, I took him out for Maddy, no hit tho

    3. SuperMario

      Wait a week if you can.

    guys help please..
    used free transfer to get wan bis for Daniel's...

    went -4 to get Fraser in for gundogan...

    now with mendy injured my sub will be Kante v West ham away..sooo...

    is it worth -8 to go Kante to richarlison or a n other??

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

      Not for -8

    2. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      -8 sounds scary

    3. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hold

    4. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison has to score more than a goal against arsenal to give you any profit over Kante. So maybe not.
