Scoutcast Episode 281 – Buzzing

Harry Kane’s ankle injury, which is set to keep him out of action until March, tops the bill during an action-packed show that bizarrely also takes in James Bond and Toy Story.

After taking great pleasure in looking back on their excellent Gameweek 22 scores, the Scoutcast crew tuck into the key questions from the community ahead of the next set of matches.

Kane’s absence sees David, Joe, Az and Luke discuss the best forward options, with Manchester United’s talismanic striker topping their lists. Moving money into midfield is also considered as the crew look at Dele Alli’s Buzz Lightyear-esque ability to step up whenever his Spurs’ team-mate is absent.

Whether to ditch disappointing players from the ranks of Chelsea, Everton and West Ham is another issue tackled.

Meanwhile, there are some words of warning for those looking to deploy their second wildcard now rather than save it to help navigate the double and blank Gameweeks to come.

Elsewhere, Az’s round-up of the community’s recent moves showcases a high-flying manager with a licence to thrill in the overall rankings.

The crew finish off with a look at their transfer and captaincy plans as well as the best differentials and defences in Gameweek 23.

    Pick 1 to stay:
    a) Hazard (ars, bou, HUD)
    b) Sterling (hud, new, ARS)
    c) Auba (CHE, CAR, mci)

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

      B shouldn't be an option

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

      I mean B should stay. I don't get it you should be able to keep 2 of those at least and still have Salah potentially

      1. RIDZ
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I wanna bring in Salah & Rashford so I need to ditch 2 of them. But if I only get Salah and Pogba is enough (already have), I just need to ditch 1.

    3. ol3andre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      C has 2 tough fixtures and A,B have have 3 easy fixtures due to nakedness A .But u got to hold both next 3 surely

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        *damn autocorrect nailedness

      2. RIDZ
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        if I have to ditch only 1, then who? Auba?

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

      I have none of them btw and thinking about getting Auba after this week

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

    A. TAA -> Shaw for a -4
    B. Kane -> Auba for a -4

    C. Have to play with A 352 formation if neither changes
    Fab (Patricio)
    Digne / Trippier / Doherty (WBA, TAA)
    Pogba Salah(C) Fraser Pereyra & Richa
    Rashford Kamara (Kane)

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      C. Kane -> X for a -4

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        X=not Auba

        1. Skhstanley
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          who would that be? 😀

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Don't know, just don't like Auba because he only has Cardiff in the next 3, unless you expect great things vs Chelsea and City.

            I went with Firmino personally, but more because of a hunch than anything else.

  3. IRBOX ⚽

    Not sure im too concerned about going without Spurs for their upcoming run. Kane injured, Wanyama injured, Sissoko injured, Winks and Skippy playing in the pivot. Dembele off to China, Trippier is a terrible defensive right back, Eriksen and Alderwierald still haven’t signed contracts. Oh and no new stadium..

    1. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I will get Alli next week. 3 homes in a row is undeniable.

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

        I probably gamble this week

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          With Alli? I was debating Alli until Son comes back

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lost two of their last three as well, even with Kane and Son

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Im with you Irbox...Only Lloris in for me.

  4. fplfansss
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    GTG?

    Etheridge
    Laporte-Digne-Robertson
    Pogba-Salah-Richarlison-Anderson
    Jimenez-Kun-Rashford

    Bench: Patricio, Camarasa, AWB, Bennett

    1. Skhstanley
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      very gd team imo

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    3. hueycho

  5. TorresMagic™

    What would you do?

    Fab Pat
    Alonso Kola AWB Doherty Schindler
    Hazard Salah Pogba Richo Martial
    Rashford Jimmy Kamara

    1 FT, 5.1 in bank

    Cheers in advance.

    1. Skhstanley

      Alonso to Robbo

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      WC

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          😉 Martial > Sterling

          1. semiconductor
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            This

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

      You're probably not going to risk benching mid 5 so maybe roll FT play 352

    4. ol3andre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial --> Sane
      Kola --> Robertson -4.

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Schindler*

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Thought about that, need to play Kola as much as possible.

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, tricky GW25 but if Chelsea have a blank on 27 he could be gold.

        2. ol3andre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          If thats affordable yes. Kola is actually playable in 24,26,27 and 28. Far from the best pick in that price range but I guess Schindler is much worse.

    5. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial to Sterling

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Get robbo through one of Alonso Schindler kola

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Or richa to sane for 3 weeks

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Could get both for Kola/Richo.

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            If u are willing to take the hit then fine

      Kun to Auba for GW27

      B. But its close.

        Cheers, it does feel close!

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      B

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        Cheers, currently on A. but considering B.

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B is more flexible

      1. jia you

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don't like Eriksen or Aguero atm.
      Maybe B.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, uncertainty with both for different reasons, cheers.
        Would you go Sterling + Sane instead out of interest?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Rather Sterling over Aguero if that helps.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Ceers and I'm inclined to agree, just makes it a little trickier to get in Auba so thats the decision. Sterling + Sane double up didnt work very well last time I had it but could very ready work this time!

  7. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Just saw a full transcript of Bielsa's impromptu presser. As a football tactics/strategy enthusiast, it is a f**king treat. The guy knows a hell of a lot more about DCFC then Lampars himself! El Loco!
    Bielsa needs to get to the PL, would be a welcome addition.

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/marcelo-bielsa-full-transcript-3000-13866685

    1. fplfansss
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      There's particular reason why this guy called El Loco. haha He is the one who invented the unorthodox 3-3-1-3 formation.

    2. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      As a Leeds fan I got to say that this season has been amazing so far, and we have played the best football for years under Bielsa. I don't care how we get up but hopefully, Leeds will be back in the Premier League next season.

      Unless the FA and EFL decide to whack them on the stupid spygate issue which is just borderline stupid to begin with. And Bielsa admitting spying on every team doesn't help Leeds case haha

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Nothin worth a hit this week eh? 0.2 ITB 0FT

    Fabianski — Hamer
    Alonso Robertson Doherty Digne — AWB
    Salah(c) Hazard Pogba Sane — Camarasa
    Auba Jimenez — Quaner

    Cheers and good luck lads

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]

        appreciate it!

  9. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who to get for TAA?
    a) Shaw
    b) Doherty
    c) other

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B probably

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If you cant upgrade, Shaw looks decent for next few fixture at least

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw

    4. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw

    5. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure what all the MUN defence fuss is about? They still are not overly convincing. Would’ve conceded last game bar DDG masterclass

      1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        They will improve imo

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

      C Bednarek. 3.9.

      Great enabler you can always bench 3rd so you don't have to worry about explosive bench points.

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

        So if you have the typical D of a LIV defender and Doherty, Digne and AWB, you would never need to play him esp if you are 343 or 352.

    7. waldo666

  10. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone decided to wc here? Why?
    Is it better wc in dgw or bgw?

    I have Kane, TAA and Guaita who is injured.
    Ta.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I try to use my second WC in the week(s) immediately prior to a DGW, to load up on DGW players. Personally my team is alright I think so I’m keeping it in my pocket for now, but if major problems arise before the time I had intended to use it, I’m not gonna be stubborn about it

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Though I say I try to as if I’m a veteran - this is my first year paying attention the whole season 😆

        Only started being bothered around halfway through last szn

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

      WCing now isn't too bad given the DGW/BGW schedule. As long as you build up for a DGW team with your frees, don't get many injuries or miss out on a huge new signing. Higuain to Chelsea for example MAY throw a spanner in the works. Under Sarri Higuain was a monster. Resurgence?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        true, if new team does well up until the madness happens you can use some of points as hits to.bring in players too...more than one way to skin a cat. Holding WC until then does make the process less painful though if more dull.

        1. bennyp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yep. Also most people are on at least a -4 this week. A WC team this week could be prime if it really performs.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            thats the gamble that Im taking, a mediocre GW would be so disappointing this GW though but those are the breaks!

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              good week also due to fixture next four up til 27 with MUN, Spurs, Liv and City all having amazing to good fix!

  11. Chelsea91
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ederson, Ethridge

    VVD,Robertson,Shaw,digne,Luiz
    Salah,sane,pogba,brooks,nasri
    Jimenez,Rasford,Deeney

    This would be my wildcard team, good to go or need any changes? Give me suggestion guys, really appreciate.

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Too balanced, too much cash in def, specially GK

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the suggestion , if were you do you make a changes for which player?

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'd probably downgrade Ederson and VVD for max 4.5 and Bednarek, downgrade one of Nasri/Brooks and upgrade the other and use the rest of the funds to upgrade Deeney.

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            max=around, but can be lower

    2. fplfansss
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Robbo is enough. Save VVD's money for other department.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I plan to get hazard back , any suggestion ?

        1. fplfansss
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Better to wait whether Chelsea get Higuain or not.

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

      Deeney pretty much doubled his season returns vs Bournemouth. Don't rate having 3 of Deeney Brooks Nasri

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

      Unless you going to play 5 backs every week which is awful you have waaaaay too much in defence. My back 5 when I bought cost

      6.5m 4.8m 4.4m 4.2m 4m

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        i need to change my back again , in order to fit hazard.

      downgrade vvd to doherty, plan to bring trent in
      downgrade ederson to 4.0

      upgrade nasri to a rich/fanderson/martial calibre player (downgrading brooks or deeney to fodder)

    Already on -4

    Guaita*, Button

    Salah, Haz, Pogba, Rich, Hojberg
    Kane*, Rashford, Jimenez

      Another -4 to replace Kane and you're G2G

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

      I would play Hojbjerg and bench Bennett Kane TAA

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He needs to free up his FTs, better to take a hit this week even it means a small negative.

    3. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hold the free transfer

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

    Interesting. Have exact money for Snod Son Kane to Moura Alli Aguero but don't think Moura fit for this week

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Aguero and Moura are too risky atm

  14. Skhstanley

    used WC.

    Etheridge (Fabi)
    Digne Robbo Shaw WBA Doherty
    Salah Hazard Pog Richa Pereyra
    Rashford Jim Kamara

    Any thoughts? Im thinking to drop hazard & Kamard for Fraser + Firmino. Not too sure abt it tho

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What price did you get WBA and Doherty for?

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        AWB 😆

        1. Skhstanley
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          WBA - 4.3M
          Doherty - 5.2M

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'd replace Doherty with someone cheaper, too many options in that defense otherwise.
            Are you fine with having only 14 players though (Kamara) ?

            1. Skhstanley
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              OHHHH, that's a great suggestion, maybe Pereira a good choice (but his fixture is gonna be tough) & Im gonna to change Kamara to Rondon

              1. 420king
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Digne to Pereira looks like a good move on GW27 or something, might as well wait for now. I'd get Bednarek as a backup (5th) def and use the extra funds elsewhere.

    2. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Consider Man city defend, might get CS after this.

    3. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Buy ederson and downgrad doherty to bennett.

  15. Boo Ya Ka Sha

    Any analysis on Spurs with Lucas and Alli, but no Kane?

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

      Spurs forums think Alli Llorente or Moura up top assuming Moura back which may not be for Fulham

  16. Ne0
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who to sell?
    A) Fanderson
    B) Richarlison

    Who to get?
    A) Sterling
    B) Sane
    C) KdB

    Or save FT?

    3. EMBOLOFAN

    Blimey, Rashford owned by 30%!!

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah.
      United supporter's might be responsible 😛

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He is bargain to be fair. Kane out helped his case for ownership

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Absolutely.
          His finish against Spurs was awesome 😮
          Managers faith can improve a player. Him,pogba,Shaw prime examples of that

          1. enrico.palazzo
            • 11 Years

            And let me guess, you own all three? 😉

            1. Amey

              He he.
              No sir, pogba+rash.
              Have Salah+robbo & I don't want more than 4 player's in a single game in blank gw27.

              Also I personally don't trust Shaw & United defense.

                  Me too, hopefully loads of points in the next four fix to help over that when it happens!

      Martial to Sane if you can

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That's do-able. But not sure I should do that with a hit though.

        1. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          0.1m short of doing Gunnarsson to Sane!

          1. Ynwalfc
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Martial just doesn’t seem to be getting the points, he looked the main man before Ole came in. Maybe leave until next week

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      G2G if Arnie fit

    GTG? Looking to do Pereira to Doherty/Luiz next game week. Thanks guys

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      G2G
      WC ?? If yes then get Doherty this gw & save ft

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't sell Pereira at all. You can play Bednarek and/or AWB until his matches turn good.

    3. Ynwalfc
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Used my wild card last week. Yes I might keep Pereira he’s doing well. The only other player I might switch is Eriksen to either Sane/Sterling but i’ll see How he copes without Kane with his fixtures being good

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yup, my worry is that you have to start one of Camarasa/Westwood or a 4th defender each week, I'd look to address that with 2 FT you hopefully have before GW25.

        1. Ynwalfc
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          With Kane out and switching to Firmino it’s freed up funds. I might switch Bednarek to Luiz/Doherty and play 4 defenders. There isn’t many good mids for 7millon and happy for now to keep Camarasa he has good fixtures and is playing well

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Sounds reasonable.

            1. Ynwalfc
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks for the advice, I definitely agree with Westwood he might not do anything for a while

  23. tokara
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How does Firmino stats look?

    already got Auba and Rash

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      okish, nothing special but he had Man CIty and Brighton away, so cant really derive any conclusion

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        would u go Alli over Firmino?

        on wc and have salah

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

          I was going to get Alli and Firmino now just Alli and someone else

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, I would go for Alli. If you want to take a punt on Liverpool attack, Mane isnt bad either

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

      im convinced almost any liverpool option is better than firmino

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

      1 assist last 3 games against Palace and 3 games against Leicester his next 2 opponents. Anonymous but for goal against City. Put me off getting yesterday

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

        hes arguably reverse oop

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

      Maybe I'm overthinking it. He'll be a popular pick

    5. Ynwalfc
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      27 points in the last 3. It was him or Kun to come in and Kun could be rotated with Jesus. His next four fixtures are good aswell. But yes being Liverpool fan he does go missing offensively in some games but happy to take the gamble

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

        17 from hat trick against Arselol. 2 2 2 the previous 3

        1. Ynwalfc
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes he goes missing in some games, that’s the gamble some will take, Kun might not even play the next game

  24. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one:

    A) Sane Nasri llorente moura
    B) sterling richarlison brooks kamara

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      Not A this week. Moura racing to be fit for Fulham and Llorente no guarantee of playing.

    3. tokara
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      none to be frank

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

      would say B but downgrade sterling to sane and upgrade brooks

    5. Coldplay
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

    6. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nasri, Llorente and Lucas, good lord NO!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nasri could be a ok punt but those three punts together...no way for me!

  25. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I feel for lower league clubs.
    Sometimes we forget the essence of football and I fondly remember FA cup ties were for everyone; giving the poor The opportunity to excel.
    I was told when I was 15 to study hard as my services would not be required at Everton going forward.
    As one could expect, this was devastating but it all ended up well and I played for lower leagues and abroad part time.
    The FA cup was a highlight. I understand the fixture congestion (and how it interferes with FPL (smile)).
    However, football has an identity with the masses and the FA Cup typifies this.
    If there are not going to be replays anymore, I think the lower league side should receive 100% of the money on offer for the tie.

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years

      1. EMBOLOFAN

        not for a hit if you have 11 starters and 1 sub

      2. 420king

        Wait for Ings news.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      difference is a bit like Chelsea Drogba to Chelsea Morata 😉

      I have Jiminez and Ings and looking to get balance in my forward line by upgrading one of them. You could want Auba captain in GW27 so think of the move carefully.

      Why not Auba or Aguero?

    GTG?

    Guita* - (Speroni)
    Digne - Shaw - Kola - (TAA - Wan Bas)
    Salah(c) - Haz - Martial - Deulofeu - (Camarasa)
    Firmino - Rashford - Auba

    1.5itb. Tempted by Guita -> Lloris for a -4. Not sure if worth it..

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      not worth it

        Other keepers?

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Speroni should play.

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Relying on a cs just to break even. Nah

    Kane & Anderson ->

    A) Salah & Arnie/8.6 forward (Have Rashford & Jimenez)
    B) Auba & Richarlison/Alli

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

      would suggest salah + fodder, upgrade a midfielder next week

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Anderson to Rich is a downgrade

    Higuain under Sarri will make Hazard even more valuable FPL wise. IMO of course 😛

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

      How so?

        Well you could say that now Haz has some real help. Hig is better than Morata or Giroud. Hopefully he fires under Sarri like he did at Napoli. Surely Hazard will be involved heavily in the assists.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Hig returned last season like Laca but played way more minutes

          well one should wait and see what kind of Higuain they get before one makes a conclusion on that. not sure how will cope with intensity and high tempo, but Sarri knows him so who knows how it pans out

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

        higuain superior record in the league

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Will he come straight in?
      Price? I guess 10.0

      Hazard already overvalued on 5ppg since GW8. I bought GW5 when he got 20 and sold long ago

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Well done

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Higuain has been terrible this season, fat, slow, sluggish even is Serie A, not sure he can keep up with PL

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      if Hazard isnt interested in playing, then probably not 😉

    6. Amey

      Pathetic transfer strategy by Chelsea in terms of strikers recently.
      Selling Costa
      Loan move for Falcao
      Batsuyayi,Morata,Giroud now over-weight higuain who is well past his prime.

      Chelsea used to be shrewd in terms of transfers. Not any more

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe they should go back to "slim" Kaku!

  30. davies

    Which option lads?

    A) Sterling Kamara (352)
    B) Auba Camarasa (343)
