Scout Picks

Gameweek 22 Scout Picks – Salah, Hazard, Aubameyang the premium options

With the return of Fantasy Premier League this weekend it’s time for the Scout Picks to make a comeback.

For the first time in 2019, we’ve been aided by our Scout Squad crew of Paul, Joe, Az and Peter with their submissions of potential players earlier this week.

Now that price rises have taken hold of most of the usual suspects, we have increased the budget to £83.5m, which we have hit bang-on this week.

Goalkeeper

Vicente Guaita (£4.2m) continues to offer an excellent price in Crystal Palace’s goal which is why he has been chosen for the Scout Picks once again. The Spaniard received the backing of two of our pundits, Paul and Joe, ahead of Watford’s visit to Selhurst Park. The Eagles have conceded just nine goals at home this season, only Liverpool and Chelsea have been breached fewer times in front of their own fans. Furthermore, Guaita has earned an additional point for saves in three of his last four outings.

Defenders

David Luiz (£5.9m) goes into the Scout Picks as the most expensive defender to act as cover for the slightly more popular Marcos Alonso. The latter was chosen by Joe and Peter, but we’ve gone with Az’s choice of the Brazilian centre-back to save some money. The Chelsea defence looks in good shape to keep a clean sheet this week, with Newcastle the lowest scorers in the Premier League since the beginning of December. Meanwhile, the Magpies are especially susceptible to set pieces, and Luiz has more attempts from dead-ball situations than any other Chelsea player.

After being the talk of the town for much of the gap between Gameweeks 21 and 22, Ricardo Pereira (£5.3m) makes it into the Scout Picks. The Leicester man looks likely to start on the flanks of attacking midfield again when Southampton come to the King Power Stadium, which should give him the potential for another double-figure haul. Only one FPL defender has had more goal attempts than Pereira in the last four Gameweeks, while the Saints rank bottom of the league for shots in the box during that time.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) is our representative from the Liverpool defence in Gameweek 22, as the cheapest option likely to start against Brighton. There was support for the Reds’ back-line from our Scout Squad with Paul, Az and Peter asking for some coverage. Despite losing their last two matches (in all competitions), Liverpool still have the best defence in the Premier League, which means they stand a good chance of keeping a clean sheet when facing a Brighton side that has slipped into the bottom five for big chances in the last four Gameweeks.

Midfielders

Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) is a highly sought-after Fantasy asset right now, with three double-figure hauls in his last four matches. Only four players have registered more shots on target than him since Gameweek 18, while he has been creating a chance every 45 minutes for his team-mates, and that’s in a run which included Arsenal and Manchester City. Salah does come to an Amex Stadium defended by a Brighton side with an in-form back-line, which may put some off giving him the captain’s armband. However, we are backing the Egyptian to prove he is powerful enough to break down lesser opposition, even if they prove a stern test.

Eden Hazard (£11.1m) has frustrated his owners in the last two league outings, blanking against both Crystal Palace and Southampton in that time. We believe it will be different in Gameweek 22 when Newcastle come to Stamford Bridge. Only two players have touched the ball in opposition penalty boxes more often than Hazard in the last four Gameweeks and he has taken more shots there than Salah, playing more key passes than the Egyptian in that time too. Meanwhile, Newcastle are currently in the bottom six for shots conceded in the box across the last four away matches.

Leroy Sané (£9.5m) gets into the Scout Picks after Joe and Az selected him for their squads. The midfielder also acts as our Manchester City representative after heavy support for Sergio Aguero, who didn’t make it due to budget constraints. The German offers a nice balance of both creativity and goal threat for a cheaper price, while Aguero and Sterling seem only to promise one or the other on current form. While Wolves are typically harder to break down away from home, they are still averaging at least one goal conceded per road trip this season and have just two clean sheets from a possible 10 outside of Molineux. Furthermore, Matt Doherty’s forward runs down his side of the pitch may open things up for Sané.

We are backing Richarlison (£6.9m) to get his first attacking returns since Gameweek 19 on Sunday afternoon as Bournemouth come to Goodison Park. Just Fulham has conceded more in away matches than the Cherries in 2018/19, with only the Cottagers allowing more big chances than them on the road in the last four Gameweeks. Factor in injury problems all over the pitch for Eddie Howe’s men and it looks like Everton could record a routine victory with Richarlison at the heart of it.

Callum Paterson (£5.1m) gets back into the Scout Picks after earning himself the backing of Joe and Peter ahead of Gameweek 22. Cardiff are hosting a Huddersfield side who rank worst in the league for big chances conceded since Gameweek 18 and they are proving especially vulnerable through the middle. Paterson may have played out wide against Spurs but we’d expect him to return to his centre-forward spot in time to punish the Terriers in south Wales.

Forwards

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) comes into the Scout Picks after all four of our pundits put him in their Scout Squad entries. No player has recorded a higher expected goals score over the last four Gameweeks as the Arsenal forward, who has been firing off shots in the box at a quicker rate than both Salah and Hazard. Meanwhile, West Ham still have just one clean sheet at home this season and have slipped towards the wrong end of the table for attempts conceded in the box since Gameweek 18, only four teams allowing more in that time.

If we are selecting Aubameyang this week, then Ashley Barnes (£5.6m) simply had to join him. The Burnley forward has registered the same number of big chances as his Arsenal counterpart in the last four Gameweeks, while only two players have had more accurate efforts than him in that time. Barnes has the fortune of going up against Fulham and their obliging defence in Gameweek 22. As we’ve already mentioned, the Cottagers have allowed more big chances than any other side across their last four away matches.

Substitutes

Sean Morrison (£4.7m) gets a place on the bench ahead of Huddersfield’s trip to the Cardiff City Stadium. The centre-back is one of Paul’s tips, who currently ranks third out of defenders for shots in the box this season (19). Only Fulham and Cardiff themselves have scored fewer times in away matches in 2018/19, so there’s the possibility of a clean sheet too.

David Brooks (£5.1m) could end up as the main man for Bournemouth this weekend if Ryan Fraser, Callum Wilson and Josh King miss the game through the injuries. Everton are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 13, while Brooks has three attacking returns in his last four outings.

Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) is a man in form with eight attacking returns in his last six matches and could continue that run when Manchester United travel to face Spurs at Wembley in Gameweek 22. Due to the quality of the opposition and his price, we couldn’t put Rashford in the Scout Picks XI but found a place for him on our bench.

Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 22 is FPL_SUNNY. He has opted for a 3-4-3 formation of: Guaita; Luiz, Pereira, Alexander-Arnold; Richarlison, Salah, Sané, Son; Barnes, Aubameyang, Rashford.

The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

fclackless‘s winning margin of 33 points (77-44) in Gameweek 10 is the current target to beat.

    Does FFS not do the “Moving Target” article anymore? Or is it just during the summer between seasons? I used to really enjoy reading the fpl prospects of the transfered players.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They are winging the articles it seems. Doesn't seem to be a plan. There may be one out of the blue.

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

      Which player would you like to hear about?

  6. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski
    TAA Robertson Digne
    Pogba Salah Hazard Fanderson Rich
    Jimenez Kane
    (Stek AWB Kamara Doherty)

    2FT so may as well make at least 1 transfer (0ITB). Any advice?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would probably burn the transfer. Your OR improves with fewer transfers than others with the same points, and there's nothing really to do unless you have any particular targets...

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        If you outscore everyone else then the amount of transfers won't matter the slightest. Always aim to best everyone else.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Well done mate

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      id get rid of fabianski for sure

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I also have 2FTs with no pressing issues. I'll probably do Flappy > Etheridge.

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Stek to Button.

      Doherty to Jonny.

      Either one. Never waste a transfer.

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

    Thoughts on lineup and captains?

    Patrício
    Alonso, Alexander-Arnold, Digne [BOU]
    Sterling (V), Sané, Son, Pogba, Martial [tot]
    Aubameyang (C), Rashford

    Hamer | Wan-Bissaka [WAT], Kamara [bur], Doherty [mci]

    1FT. 0.6 ITB

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Patricio is gross I'm sick of seeing him in my team. Get Guaita for him or Hamer

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the suggeston. I was considering him for Hamer, but tbh, I don't think Pat has enough bad fixtures to rotate him, and I still have (perhaps too much) faith in Wolves' solidity. They are close to a clean sheet in most games, and good at conceding shots from distance instead of close-range, which is good for Pat (or should be).

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

      Aub Captain is genius.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It's not genius. It's his only feasible option in that line up.

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

          Well OK, It's a good decision then.

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

          Who needs options? 🙂

        3. AuFeld

          Hahaha

        4. willl
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Sterling is a good option this week

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Not against wolves away he's not.

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Home 🙂

                • 7 Years

                Wolves are away.

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

              Ahh right because 0 clean sheets in Wolves last 6 away games is frightening...

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                Ah right you don't know what you're talking about.

                1. willl
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  What about Wolves at home then is not a good fixture for Sterling?

                  1. FPL Virgin
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    Wolves have the best away defence in the league.

                    Sterling's start is uncertain.

                    1. willl
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      Wolves have conceded in every away game since the start of October.

                      Sterling was rested in the last match so he will start.

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

                      By what measure do Wolves have the best defence in the league btw?

                      1. Deulofail
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Not sure. In away matches: 3rd best shots on target ond shots in the box conceded. 4th best goals conceded and total shots conceded. 5th best headed goal attempts conceded.

                        Overall: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/19660686

                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Big chances conceded.

                      3. Deulofail
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        2nd best xGC away.

                      4. willl
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Fair enough.

                        Wouldn't say that makes them the best defence in the league though.

                        City scoring for fun and Sterling nailed so he is a solid option imo.

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

                        Interesting that 75% of their big chances conceded have been in the last 6 away matches though.

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

                        Best defence away. Not best in the league.

                      7. FPL Virgin
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Number 1 for xGC OP away, which is more important.

                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Spicy. I know what you're talking about but there are caveats to all the captain choices, even Salah. At least Sterling has form (by which I mean form, not FPL output in the last 6 GWs)

                  1. willl
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    Salah is away to Brighton, that is a tougher fixture than Wolves at home imo

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      looks good, whats ur plan for son?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It was to get KDB this week, but then I found out about City and Everton's probable GW27 blank, so I bought TAA for Yedlin instead. Not sure yet tbh. Alli possibly to save a FT. But depends on this weekend's performances.

      Digne , rich and siggy?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

        Digne Sigg and The Tower of London.

        1. Solanke
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Worth keeping especially against that water tight Bournemouth defence

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

            I thought it was correct before they bottled the Foxes. 😯

            We'll see.

  10. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    -4 for Lovren to TAA? Camarasa flagged too and only fit players on my bench are Gunnarson and Bednarek

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      cam will play

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Probably but Lovren won't which means I have to play either Gunnarson or Bednarak. Do I do the -4 now or wait until after the deadline?

    2. Kevin 11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That bench is ok for this one week

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        My bench is Ings, Bednarek and Gunnarson. Who would you play for Lovren?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          gunnar

  11. Sarriball Time
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa. Button.
    Rudiger. Lovren. Doherty. Wan Bissaka. Kiko Femenia.
    Salah. Hazard. F. Anderson. Pogba. Billing.
    Kane. Jimenez. Kamara.

    1 FT and 0.3 in the bank. Would you change anything or save...?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      lovren to taa

    How do we see Utd getting on against Spurs?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully 4-4

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        With Kane and Pogba scoring all the goals

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Suits me

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      2-1 Spurs

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      This is the first chance for Ole to be found out. Probably a Spurs win. 3-1 or something?

    4. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years

      Complete collapse.

    5. Balls of Steel

    6. Weak Become Heros

      1-1

  13. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Got 2FT and want Salah but thinking this week is not the right time to ditch my Chelsea assets. Alonso and one of Hazard/Kane/Auba would have to go. Alonso and Hazard play NEW, Aubameyang plays whu and Kane plays MUN (I'm a United fan and I think it's a decent fixture for Kane, we're crap at the back).

    a) Get Salah now
    b) Wait

    Ditch one to get Salah:
    1) Hazard
    2) Kane
    3) Aubameyang

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      do it now get rid of kane

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        What's your reasoning?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          oh only just saw you have to move alonso too. prob next week then

    2. Js31
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma. Would be Anderson Alonso > Salah Digne for me. Just don't know if to do it this week or wait? Don't like wasting transfers though

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

    Play Camarasa or AWB?

    1. Kevin 11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      AWB

  15. Kevin 11
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Play Kamara or Doherty

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kamara

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      thats a bad situation to be in. kamara rarely starts away from home but may come off bench so prob doherty

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You can play Kamara but doesn't mean Ranieri will

  16. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A. Hamer - > Guaita. Save 2nd FT

    B. Aubameyang & Pogba - > Barnes & Salah. No hit

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Still A

      B. WTH?

  17. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What are fellow Fab owners doing? Selling, and who for, or keeping?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      As above, I might do Hamer - > Guaita and bench Fabianski

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I have Fab and Hamer too but Hamer is staying as Hamer as I hate having to think about keepers every week (and invariably getting it wrong) so it is keep Fab or sell him for somebody. I am thinking of Guaita to be honest but they have Liverpool next week.

    2. EMBOLOFAN

        Something wrong with Fabinski?

  18. paul1964
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Are you kidding? Barnes has to be picked as a Scout pick for GW22! Roberto Firmino is a much better player in a much better team.

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's in decent form. Among forwards over the last four, he's tied for first (with Auba) for big chances (6) and tied for second for shots on target (8).

  19. In Moyes We Thrust #freeshi…
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Going for 2 punts this week:

    1) Auba (C) over Salah.
    Salahs been in great form but Brighton are decent at home meanwhile West Ham have conceded 13 goals in their last 6 home games.

    1. In Moyes We Thrust #freeshi…
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Dang, fat thumbs posted this one before I finished.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure Auba (c) qualifies as a punt.

  20. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Have Auba, Salah, Hazard, with c on Salah. But Haz is screaming at me as the only front 8 man playing at home

    1. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      But, Morata is fit.

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Even if Morata is fit Sari may go with Hazard up top..

  21. SweeSwee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fab
    Robbo TAA Bamba
    Salah (c) Eriksen Sane Pogba Rich
    Kane Mitro

    AWB Kamara Bennett

    1FT 0.6 ITB

    G2G? Was considering gambling on a Rich (c)...

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      dont take that gamble

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could work out that Bournemouth defence is leaking goals like mad

  22. willl
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Salah is so expensive.

    Triple Liverpool defence madness?

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Will almost certainly keep more CS than anyone else in remainder of season

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      not mad at all

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      could even be optimal i just cant make myself get rid of salah

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Please direct me to cheaper player that scored 21 2 12 12 12 in 5 GW period

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        This ^

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

        Obviously Salah is going to get points but he is going to be 13.4m after tonight, that is prohibitively expensive, I have to make downgrades I don't like and drop a premium asset I am happy to own in order to get him.

        Don't think it's worth it for me at least.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          if you dont own salah then 3x lfc defence is sensible

  23. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best 4.6 or under keeper for the foreseeable?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Guaita 4.2 Ethridge 4.6

  24. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Etheridge & Arnie for Ryan & King??

    Good Moves??

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't go near Arnie with transfer speculation. Guaita or Etheridge good trade ins

      1. damiang2233
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Never thought of that! Who instead?

  25. noquarternt
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Goodbye Cesc, had some great FPL moments. Genuine captain material with huge hauls from centre mid in a poor Arsenal and then great Chelsea team.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He had his moments but I always used to balk at captaining him back in those days.

  26. E25
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fab
    TAA Digne WB
    Salah(c) Haz Pogba Rich FA
    Kane Jimenez

    Button / Kamara Kiko Doherty
    1FT 1.0ITB

    Jimenez -> Rashford a good shout this week???

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      sure

  27. Sarriball Time
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Cap Salah or Hazard...?

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      E.Hazard

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Feeling lucky, punk?

      If you are, go Hazard because he is the riskier pick. Salah for the masses.

    3. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chelsea are in trouble when Newcastle decides to play Mourinho ball

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Got eem haha

  28. Supersonic Marv'
    • 7 Years

    Has Guaita got the number 1 spot for sure now?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      We weren't sure with Hennessey but we did N@zi what was about to come out in the news via social media

      1. Supersonic Marv'
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Superb.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Palace paid decent money and he has 3 CS last 5 conceding only 3 to City and Chelsea. What you reckon?

  29. tabby98
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Time to drop Felipe Anderson?

    1. golly28
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal concede goals so I am just about sticking this week on that basis

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Why would it be time?

    3. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      drop him after this week v Arsenal, and after more clarity on the Arnautovic to China situation.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd give him this week. WHU will lose but Arsenal's defence is poor so they will concede at least 1 and it may well be Fanderson that scores it

  30. golly28
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I’m getting very itchy fingers as have two free transfers and contemplating 3. Someone talk me out of it. Team is

    Leno
    Digne | Kolasinic | Lovren | WB | Bennett
    Hazard | Salah | Son | Anderson | Rich
    Auba | Rashford | Wilson

    Contemplating
    A) Son > Westwood & Rashford > Aguero
    B) Son > Westwood & Anderson > Sterling
    Maybe also Lovren > Lindelof so I can bring Camarasa in instead.

    By doing A following Gameweek can get Kane and Sand in for Auba and Hazard. Decision time.

    1. In Moyes We Thrust #freeshi…
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You'll be wanting Rashford after this week is over I reckon especially when you don't have Pogba

      1. golly28
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I can just see Aguero getting a hattick anytime now. Rashford doesn’t have that in him and worried about Lukaku

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don't be fooled by Westwood purple patch

      1. golly28
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Want Camarasa as first sub but 0.1 short!

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      4 premium players isnt optimal. you can only captain 1 each week.

      downgrade leno and do lovren to taa
