FFScoutcast Episode 271 – Traffic

Battling through traffic, illness and technical glitches, the Scoutcast crew emerge triumphant to discuss the key issues affecting Fantasy Football managers in Gameweek 9 and beyond.

After being stuck in motorway congestion a cold-ridden Az dropped by to join David, Andy and I just in time to answer the community’s questions about why none of us own assets from Arsenal. This is particularly head-scratching given the Gunners have scored more goals than any other side over the last four Gameweeks.

We also shake our heads in disbelief at why so many Fantasy managers are ignoring Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, who is proving to be well worth his premium price tag this term.

Liverpool’s injury list and patchy form of some of their top players ahead of a fine run of games also come under scrutiny.

Elsewhere, David invents ‘the courteous brag’ as he details how he was the only member of the crew not to be entranced by Tottenham’s misfiring striker Harry Kane in Gameweek 8.

Gameweek 9 differentials and clean sheet prospects also get an airing and we finish off with Andy putting the rest of our transfer plans to shame with a typically audacious set of moves.

    I'm offloading Henessy and AWB for;

    A) Allison & Mendy
    or
    B) Ederson and Robbo

    5.0M in the bank, both affordable.

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

      Flip a coin
      A

    2. Kane Toads
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Allison better than Ederson, Mendy better than Robertson... and both are cheaper as well... A is better choice

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, I have been waing for the casting vote 😀

        1. *sigh*
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          B

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 14 Years

            stop it

  2. yakirh
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Doherty to rise tonight or tomorrow?

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

      Yes

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

        Lol I should have been more clear
        Will he rise tonight? Or will he rise tomorrow?

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

          I am not fpl statistics website

        2. AlissonBecker fell alone
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I think Friday/Saturday. Depends on those on wildcard already.

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

      I’d say tomorrow.

      Small chance he rises tonight though. He is being transferred heavily by normal transfers as well as wildcarders.

    3. S3
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      tomorrow

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

    I’d really appreciate your advise.

    I have Bennett, would you take a hit to bring Doherty in for a hit? Or for free next game?

    Many thanks

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No

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

      Not for a hit

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

      free

    4. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit imo.

    5. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for sure. Either way you'll get the cleanie if there is one. Youd be unlucky to miss recovering a -4 in a single GW.

    6. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm happy with both.

  4. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson (4m)
    Robbo Alonso Shaw Jonny AWB
    Hazard Mane Maddison Son Hojbjerg
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    2FT

    What would you do?

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

      Zaha out

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        to Mitro?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Asking myself the same question. I’m considering Wilson and Murray too.

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Oh and Arnie of course

    2. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Gotta ship Zaha first

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha and Son out.

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

    What do you think this WC?

    Fabianski (Hamer)
    Doherty Robertson Alonso Mendy (WB)
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser (Hojbjerg)
    Aguero Wilson (Jimenez)

    ITB 1,2£
    GW 11 Wilson to Arnie

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

      BEAUTIFUL team.
      Thoughts about Salah to Sterling and Jimenez to Mitro?

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

      Or Wilson to Lacca

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I see Hamer. That my only comment

    4. Follyfarmer
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If you're going to have a cheap goalie you need to have another kne that will play every match

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Why won't Fabs start?

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

          Cheers to all

  6. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mane, Shaw > Doherty, Sterling (-4)

    Yay or nay?

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yay!

      1. AlissonBecker fell alone
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Who should I captain Jules, Aguero or Sterling?Please 🙂

        1. Jules Rimet
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          cringe

        2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I wish I could do the same
      Can only fund it with Kane Mane Shaw -> Doherty Sterling Kun (-8)

      GL!

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, I could see that paying off.

    4. Mr_Barbs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm doing the same with my 2 FTs

  7. Kane Toads
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My WC team comes down to this:

    A) Salah + Maddison + Aguero, or
    B) Sterling + Mane + Laca

    Any thoughts?

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

      A for me. 2 captain options vs 0 captain options.

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      On WC I would probably go with Sterling and decide if I want to leave money ITB for upgarde to Salah

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

        This. Doing exactly that. 😉

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      thanks for the comments

    5. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Either A or B look great
      Most importantly do you have Hamer in there. If not, your wildcard might now process correctly!

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        *not process correctly

        I have a thing about Hamer haha

    6. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A has the higher ceiling

    7. Kane Toads
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      ...and I also have Hazard for captain options

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

    Are tgere any news on Mane?

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

      He had surgery - no idea if that makes him more or less likely.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      75% chance I guess

  9. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard. I have Robertson.
    1) What do you prefer to have: TAA (4-3-3) or Maddison (3-4-3) ?
    2) What do you think about Camarasa for 5th mid? He takes corners for Cardiff.

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

      TAA.

      Cardiff seems to change lineup every game. He could become bench fodder in two GW.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      TAA

  10. Hooky
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I think I'm going to save my WC until Wilshere is fit and firing.

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

      Bit like Jonty wildcarding for fraser

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

        Are you being shortist?

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

          How tall is the J-Man? One of those hard to tell heads.

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

            Virgin told me that Joe is 5 foot 8 and 3/4 inches.

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

            He's standing up in the scoutcast videos

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

            Definitely a giant
            FPL wise

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

              He dwarfed his guitar

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

                It's just a ukulele in the foreground

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

                  Haha

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

          Yeah. Short people are the worst

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

            I think you should transfer Hazard out after that statement.

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

              Already did.
              Rememeber Andrey Arsharvin
              He was a wrong un

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

                What about the God that is Michael Mifsud?

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

                He actually helped me to win my ML back in that season! Remember the 4 goals and (c) him!

  11. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is Vardy worth 9m when he tends to just score a goal a game?

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

      6ppm for 9m? Yes please.

    2. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Given his upcoming fixture with only easy teams I would say no. He plays better against better teams.

      1. COYS Down Under
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        That stat is overrated. It was true last season but not seasons prior to that, no reason to suggest it'll be true again this season.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      One goal per game? You mean 6ppm before bonus? I'd say that's more than justified.

    4. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would good money for a striker that always get 1 goal a game

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

      God yeah, thats 38 goals for the season, u surely wouldn't complain about that!

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

        I'll find a way

      2. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        let me rephrase, when he scores, it tends to be 1 goal. 9m is still a large outlay on a forward.

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

          Well, for me it was between him and Maddison. I went with Maddison to have a strong mid, that way I avoid disappointment up front, having Kun, Jimi plus 5 decent mids.

    6. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on how often he gets that one goal in a game.

  12. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    TAA too risky to bring in now?

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why so?

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Risky how?
      Granted Robbo is more nailed but an extra 1m

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not too risky, Robbo is the better option imo but TAA good value. He may miss top 6 games but that about it.

      1. william prunier
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Tbh only City's attack would worry Klopp.
        TAA will score more points/£ over the season.

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          You are probably right about that, if I was bringing one of them in now it would most likely be TAA to save some £, but I already have Robbo.

    4. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No, the upcoming games suit his style of play better so I wouldn't be worried

  13. Geezer
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How does this WC look?
    Pat Button
    Mendy Robertson Alonso Doherty Dunk
    Salah Haz Richarlison Fraser Hojbjerg
    Kun Mitro Joselu

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd rather Kenedy than joselu

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Newcastle followers Yedlin or Fernandez ....whose most nailed and best for bonus points ???

        1. william prunier
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yediln more likely to assist down that flank

      2. child of God
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This

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

      Joselu is a foul pick. Now washing my eyes out with bleach

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

        What about Robertson to Trent and Joselu to Ings?

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

          Could do. Just drop dunk to a fodder and get ings

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

            Although i prefer jiminez if we are talking cheap strikers

  14. ktongue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hey All. Great to get your thoughts on this potential Wildcard IF Salah isn't available.

    BEFORE:
    Mitrovic, Kane, Ings
    Lucas Moura, D Silva, Salah,Maddison, Fraser
    Alonso, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Doherty, Bennett, Chilwell,
    Ryan, Button

    AFTER:
    Mitrovic, Vardy, Lacazette
    Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Fraser, 4.6
    Alonso, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Doherty, Bennett, Robertson
    Ryan, Button

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

      Looks good. Any ideas on the 4.6 player? I'd be tempted by a playing 4.4-4.5 player or even a non-playing 4.3 player.

      Also, I think GW11 would be a worry given Fraser and Doherty/Bennett's fixtures.

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

        No idea on the 4.6. Still deciding.
        But Alonso, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Robertson would be constant when Doherty/Bennett's fixture turn.

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

          Happy to play Fraser against United then? Granted, it's not the worst fixture for an attacking Bournemouth side, but I tend to look to bench cheaper players against top opposition if possible.

      You gotta have one Pool attacking asset ahead of the next 3. Wait for Klopp presser and choose the fitter of Mane or salah.

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

        Agreed but if Salah is out, two attacking defenders helps.

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

          People (not you) are seriously underestimating the potency of Pool attack. The fact you’re on WC means you have to jump on either Salah/Mane. Otherwise you’ll be with the trend moving after a Huddersfield mauling imo.

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

            Salah at 32% ownership is the lowest this season. Why plan a transfer of a premium mid right after WC.

            I might get him on WC even if the doubts don’t dissipate with Klopps presser

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

      I wouldnt WC. LM and Kane to Sterling and Arnie?

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

    RMWCT:

    Patrício-Fab
    Mendy-Robbo-Chilwel*-Doherty-AWB
    Salah-Hazard-Richarlison-Fraser-Camarasa
    Kun-Mitro-Arnie

    I’m thinking of going with Chilwel for a Leicester side with good fixtures that alternate with doherty. Leicester rank top 7 for defensive KPI and Chillwel has been at the top for attacking potential.

    So deciding between him or the more conservative Yedlin pick. Also I don’t wanna have the RAM expensive back line though.

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Good name bud

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I don't know what KPI is but the Foxes (To my eye) look diabolical defensively.

      Especially the two centre backs, who have the maneuverability of an old communist bus.

      8/10

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Nice squad. See everyone - this is how a Hamer-less WC should look like.

  16. Dead Lift
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Need some help.
    Fabianski, Foster
    Alonso, Luiz, Robbo, Jonny, AWB
    Hazard, Mane, Richa, Maddison , Fraser
    Kun, Arnie, Ings

    1.6 itb, 1 FT

    I am thinking to transfer out Luiz for Mendy. Then I have to leave some of the lads on the bench. Which 2 of the following?
    A) Maddison
    B) Ings
    C) Jonny

    Of course Mane and Fraser are doubts, so answer please in order.
    Thanks.

  17. jdogg

    Fab hamer
    Mendy robbo shaw awb peltier
    Haz moura rich maddison kenedy
    Kane aguero mitro

    2 fts 0.4 itb

    Shaw and peltier to gomez and bennett

    Hope that 2 pool def will cover no attackers?x

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Hamer and Peltier . Sh@t are we in GW4?
      Captain Hazrad GW5 everyone!

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        All joking aside, team looks good and Shaw to TAA or Gomez looks good, providing Lovren doesn’t start. I might hold off one week. And just get Bennett for Peltier

    Had been planning to Wildcard around this time due to the fixture shift for a lot of teams but now having second thoughts. Crucially I'm not quite as enthused by Liverpool options as I thought I'd be and my team looks healthy enough to keep going for now.

    I do like wildcarding around significant shifts in fixtures though. Does anyone more diligent than me know if there's another similar turn before Christmas?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years

      Week 16 there's a shift

          Can't remember who I've been drinking!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Thank you kind sir. A quick look suggests Harry Kane might come back on our radar around then.

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        good shout, got no Spurs or Arsenal atm - also Brighton and Leicester's go a bit dodgy then too

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Mitro back in too probably

  19. Taarabts2Good4U
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Jimenez in for Ings?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years

      It's a bit sideways, plus WOLV fixtures getting testing.
      He fluffs chances

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Rather save FT

  20. Naby K8a

    Sadio Mané has not been ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield, the club determining if he can wear a protective cast.

    4. Fantasy Gold

      Would prefer Mitrovic but Arnie is a good option yeah

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

    Trippier to?

    One of premium options?

    A. Robertson
    B. Mendy

    Or rather cheaper rotation alternative??

    C Yedlin
    D. Dunk
    E. Balbuena

    My other defenders are:

    Alonso / TAA / Doherty / AWB

    1. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      To Mendy since you have TAA

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be inclined to keep, he's HEAVILY involved in buildup play for club & country plus on set pieces

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

      Wouldn't sub him at all, but if you must A or B, same difference.

  23. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which one should I go for as my 5th mid ?

    A) Will Hughes

    B) Kenedy

    1. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kenedy

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. wulfrunian

      b

    4. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 6 months ago

      Josh Murphy

    5. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kenedy is likely to get more points I think, but Hughes may be a smidge more nailed (though hard what to predict with Deu's return). How often will he be your first sub? Most games? And who would your other subs be?

    6. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kenedy for me

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

    I hope Klopp gives some straight answers for his presser,noting worse going into a gw with no idea who will line out.

    What are the chances of this?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Twitter will reveal all

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Better chance than Pep although Klopp has been known to be cryptic as well in the past.

      I wouldn’t hold my breath.

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

        Pep should write a Nostradamus style book because anything he says could mean anything depending on interpretation.

        People will be still trying to figure what Pep meant hundreds of years from now.

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      We can only wait and see but my guess is we will have a clear picture on Mane,VVD,Keita but not on Salah.

    Patricio Fabianski
    Trent-A-A, Robertson, Mendy, Doherty, Wan Bissaka
    Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison, Maddison, Neves
    Mitro, Wilson, Aguero

    4. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Neves to 4.4/4.5 and G2G
      If I was on WC thats pretty much the exact team I would have.

    5. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm personally more of a fan of Arnie & Salah/Mane long term. I've got the predicament that is Neves but quite happy to bench e/w.

      Otherwise looks tip top.

    2. yakirh

      Wait for news
      In case Mane is out its a no brainer

    4. internal error

      It sounds like a close call with Mane playing. I cant see Klopp playing him if its a risk. No need to rush him

  29. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this potential wc team?

    Patricio Hamer
    Robbo Mendy Doherty Lowe AWB
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Knockaert Brooks
    Aguero Arnie Mitrovic

    Trying to get a bit of flexibility with Knock, Brooks, Lowe and AWB.

    Or all they all a bit sh*t?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I like it

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lowe has potential attacking wise, diop/zaba of WHU might offer more cs potential.
      Brooks plays too deep plus their fixtures turn grim soon... Check out Kenedy of New.
      Nothing wrong with knock.
      Good wc

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If Hudderfield can have any good fixtures, they have quite a lot of them between now and Jan. And seem to rotate well with AWB. Both would be bench fodder most weeks anyway.

        Take the point on Brooks. Will look at Kenedy.

        Thanks.

      I think if you could skim them down and get Alonso alongside the other defenders, you could have a great looking 433

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I've tried, but didn't like it so much, Want to have a playing bench through Xmas. WOuld probably have to downgrade robbo to TAA.

    How many of you listen to the Totally Football podcasts? Excellent content, camaraderie between host and guests and proper expert insight across the leagues in UK and Europe. Highly recommend them. For fans of Football Italia back in the 90s, AC Jimbo aka James Richardson hosts the main Totally Football Show and Golazzo shows. Totally switched off Guardian Football Weekly now after being my go-to podcast for years.

      Will give it a try, thanks. I like a bit of comaraderie 🙂
