Transfers

Transfer deadline day – the confirmed deals that could affect FPL

We’re just days before the first Double Gameweek of the season and late developments in the transfer market on Thursday could potentially shape Fantasy managers’ thinking going into this weekend and beyond.

Amid the carnival of yellow ties, made-up sightings and besieged television reporters, this live blog rounded up the confirmed deals that could present Fantasy bosses with new targets or have a negative impact on existing assets.

You can revisit how deadline day unfolded in the article below.

The prices given in brackets are the players’ Fantasy Premier League cost, rather than their actual transfer fees.

UPDATES

00:35 – Crystal Palace have signed Michy Batshuayi on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season.

The Belgian forward spent the first half of 2018/19 on loan at Valencia, where he found the net on just one occasion in 15 La Liga appearances.

Batshuayi’s capture will likely have implications for Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) and push the likes of Christian Benteke (£6.3m) and Connor Wickham (£4.9m) further down the pecking order.

It could have positive ramifications for Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m), however, who scored his first goal since September in midweek and who has arguably missed having a physical foil up front to play off.

00:30Lazar Markovic has joined Fulham from Liverpool on a permanent deal.

The 24-year-old Serbian winger hasn’t featured for the Reds in the Premier League since 2014/15 and has had four loan spells away from the club since then, including a stint at Hull City two seasons ago.

Capable of playing anywhere across the front line, Markovic has played the bulk of his career on the right flank – which could further threaten Andre Schurrle‘s (£5.6m) ever-weakening hold on that position.

23:35 – Stefan Johansen (£5.0m) has left Fulham to join West Brom on loan for the rest of 2018/19.

23:00 – Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy (£4.7m) has joined West Bromwich Albion on loan until the end of the season.

22:10Håvard Nordtveit has joined Fulham on loan from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim for the rest of the season.

The former West Ham United utility player and one-time Arsenal prospect is capable of playing at centre-back and in central midfield.

Nordtveidt made 11 Premier League starts and five substitute appearances for the Hammers in his one season with the club in 2016/17 and was listed as a midfielder in FPL.

The Norwegian’s sum attacking contribution in those 16 matches was one assist.

20:15 – Monaco’s Youri Tielemans has joined Leicester City on loan for the rest of the season, with Adrien Silva (£4.7m) moving in the opposite direction until the end of the current campaign.

A central midfielder, Tielemans has been capped 14 times by Belgium and featured at the 2018 World Cup.

Tielemans has scored five goals in 20 Ligue I appearances this season, though he would seem to be more a threat to the likes of Wilfred Ndidi (£4.9m), Hamza Choudhury (£4.3m) and Nampalys Mendy (£4.5m) than James Maddison (£6.7m).

The player himself said:

I think it’s [box-to-box] my best position but I can play in every position in midfield. Whenever the coach needs me, I can play in no.6, no.8 or no.10 but it’s true that I’m mostly a box-to-box player.

I like to attack. I think as a midfielder it’s really dangerous when you have a midfielder coming from the second line and trying to shoot or get into the box. It’s always difficult to defend and I try to add this to me game. I think it will help the team.

19:45 – Watford’s Ben Wilmot (£4.0m) has joined Udinese on loan for the rest of the season.

The central defender/midfielder played the final 24 minutes of the Hornets’ 2-1 defeat to Spurs on Wednesday.

19:35 – Fantasy Premier League have added several of today’s new signings to the game already.

They are:

Goalkeepers
Perri – Crystal Palace – (£4.0m)

Defenders
Barreca – Newcastle United – (£4.5m)
Bacuna – Cardiff City – (£4.5m)

Midfielders
Almirón – Newcastle United – (£6.0m)
Suarez – Arsenal – (£6.5m)

Forwards
Grant – Huddersfield Town – (£5.0m)

19:10Peter Crouch has signed for Burnley on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 38-year-old striker will provide back-up for first-team forwards Chris Wood (£6.2m) and Ashley Barnes (£5.6m), who have started all of Burnley’s last five Premier League matches.

Sam Vokes (£5.3m) has moved in the opposite direction, signing for Stoke City on a permanent deal.

Speaking in his weekly press conference, Sean Dyche said of Crouch:

There’s no issue about his fitness and I think he has an intention and a desire to still make a mark in football.

We know what a good character he is and he still has that edge. We know he’s an effective footballer and he has a hunger to come here and make a mark.


Regarding Crouch’s potential availability for Gameweek 25, Dyche said:

We’ll see. I know he’s been active recently so therefore he’s fit and well enough. We’ll give him a chance to come in later today once everything’s sorted and join in [training] tomorrow.

18:40 – Brighton and Hove Albion have signed Romanian midfielder Tudor-Cristian Baluta from FC Viitorul Constanta and Slovenian striker Jan Mlakar from NK Maribor.

Both players have returned to their former clubs on loan for the rest of 2018/19.

18:30 – Some loan signings to bring you from the last hour – none of which will likely affect Fantasy managers.

Emile Smith Rowe (£4.5m) has left Arsenal to join RB Leipzig, Reece Oxford (£4.2m) has joined Augsburg from West Ham and Everton’s Cuco Martina is bound for Feyenoord after cutting short his loan spell at Stoke City.

17:05 – Wolves’ back-up striker Leo Bonatini (£4.6m) has joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the rest of the season.

16:35Leandro Bacuna (£4.5m) has joined Cardiff City from Reading on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

Bacuna has previous Premier League experience with Aston Villa, having scored five goals in his first season in the English top flight in 2013/14.

A central midfielder by trade, Bacuna is also capable of filling in at right-back – which could threaten budget defender Lee Peltier’s (£3.9m) starts.

16:10 – Fulham’s Aboubakar Kamara (£4.5m) has joined Turkish side Yeni Malatyaspor on loan until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.

The forward, still owned by almost 10% of FPL managers, had been suspended by the Cottagers for disciplinary reasons.

15:00 – Spurs midfielder Georges-Kevin Nkoudou (£4.8m) has joined Monaco on loan until the end of the season.

14:35 – Newcastle United have announced the signing of attacking midfielder Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) from Atlanta United.

The 24-year-old Paraguay international has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Almiron scored 13 goals and registered 13 assists to help Atlanta win the 2018 MLS Cup.

Rafael Benítez said:

We were following Miguel Almirón for a while, and we saw a player with some pace in attack, who can play behind the striker. We have someone who can score goals and give assists.

His impact in MLS has been really good – he’s been one of the best players this year – and hopefully he can give us more competition and more quality in the final third.

Almirón’s capture could have ramifications for Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) or Christian Atsu (£5.1m), who have been used as the support for Salomon Rondon (£5.7m) in recent weeks.

14:30 – Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings (£4.2m) has completed a loan move to Aston Villa until the end of the season.

13:25Anthony Martial (£7.3m) has signed a new contract that will keep him at Manchester United until June 2024.

13:05 – Newcastle United have confirmed the capture of Antonio Barreca (£4.5m). The 23-year-old Monaco defender has joined on loan until the end of the 2018/19 season, with the Magpies having an option to buy at that point.

Barreca is ostensibly a left-back, an area Newcastle are short in with Paul Dummett (£4.4m) currently sidelined.

Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) has been used as a left wing-back of late in Rafael Benitez’s now-preferred 3-4-2-1.

The Newcastle manager said of his latest capture:

The left-back/left-wing-back position is one we’ve been looking to strengthen for a while and he’s an Italy under-21 international who we know has quality, good delivery and is good going forward.

He has the attributes, he has the quality and he has the characteristics that we look for. Now we must see how quickly he can adapt but we will try to help him and if he can give us more competition in this area, and more quality in the final third with his deliveries, the only thing I can see is a positive.

12:15 – Arsenal have finally confirmed the loan signing of Denis Suarez (£6.5m) from Barcelona.

The Spain international heads to the Emirates for the remainder of the season and will link up again with Unai Emery, who he played under at Seville.

Emery said:

We are very happy that Denis Suarez is joining us. He is a player we know well and I have worked with him at Sevilla. He brings us quality and options in many different attacking positions, so he’ll be able to help the team.

Suarez’s versatility was mentioned by Emery in the above comments, with the 25-year-old Spaniard having mostly been used on either the left wing or in a more central attacking midfield position.

Suarez made 31 league appearances for Seville under Emery in 2014/15, with 15 of those coming off the bench. Arsenal’s latest recruit ended that season with two goals and four assists.

10:15 – Wolves have signed Jonny (£4.3m) on a permanent transfer after the defender’s successful loan spell. The budget FPL defender has signed a contract that runs until 2023.

Jonny has one goal and one assist to his name this season and has featured in every Premier League game in which he has been fit for selection.

10:00 – Already this month we have seen Bournemouth snap up Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) and Chris Mepham (£4.5m), both of whom made the bench in the 4-0 win over Chelsea last night.

Nathaniel Clyne (£4.4m) also joined the Cherries from Liverpool on loan.

The Blues, of course, signed Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.5m) on a temporary deal last week.

Ryan Babel (£5.5m) was acquired by Fulham for an undisclosed fee from Besiktas, while Oumar Niasse (£5.0m) and Jason Puncheon (£4.2m) joined Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town respectively on loan deals.

    How is everyone’s DGW-O-Meter trending?

    Looking at 5 of the elite teams - the current combined Man City attackers amongst Mark Sutherns, Ville Ronka, Magnus Carlson, FPL General, Jay Egersdorf paints a very stark picture:

    1x Sterling
    1x Sterling
    1x Kun
    1x Sané

    That’s it. So out of a possible 15 attacking slots in those 5 teams they have only 4 city (!)

    This is pre-transfers obviously, but if you look at their teams, they have to sell either Pogba or Haz to get more City attackers...

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      can't help but feel that this DGW is only a trap

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      currently on ederson, sterling(c), sane, siggy

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years

        Could be epic

          but will probably be a nightmare lol

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

            Ederson and Sig are for sure playing two games

    3. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No point over loading IMo. Gonna need to spend hits to get the players out for the blank. Is it worth it ?

    4. moz_1983
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Have Keane and Kum, may add Siggy in place of Felipe or Sane in place of Haz (not sold on that one though as Chelsea are home to HUD).

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Felipe is gone for me this week, it’s just a question of whether it’s to Sterling, Sané or Son

        I’m leaning towards Son as it avoids a hit in GW26

        1. the dom 1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          i did this early today Felipe > Son as I already own Sane.

    5. The 5% Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If I had a FT, I'd get another City player...but won't take a hit for it

    6. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I have ederson, d silva, sterling, Rich (C ) atm

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Rich (c)! A bold move - could be genius if he has shooting boots on v Wolves... he’s scored in consecutive games now...

        1. Ambrosiana Inter
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I m in between him or salah...feel like I can’t trust raheem

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

          I'd call it reckless rather than bold.

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

      Anything is a bonus for me. Sane Sterling Pogba Salah mid Aguero Rash Jimi up front. Still leaning Salah C

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah , o posted before about this..salah could still be the better captain option, too much uncertainty about who s gonna hit 100+ minutes for city..I have rich atm even though I also have salah

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

          Salah C simply because I think most likely high score in 1 game week. West Ham shipping goals to junk teams lately

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sané Sterling Kun - pretty much all in on City?

    8. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sane, Sterling, Rich and the ineffective Digne (who plays 1 game). Saving a FT as well.

    9. Limbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ederson, Sterling, Kun, Richarlison for me.

      4 would have been 5 with Digne. Plan is to bench Rich/Kun and move the others on for the blank.

    10. adams_6
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm looking at Hazard and Kamara to Puncheon and Kun.
      Can do Kun to in 27 then.
      Gives me another City to play DGW and also solves my Kamara problem.
      Already got Sterling and Rich.
      Just leaves me scared of Sane and Hazard punishing me v HUD but Chelsea look horrific.

      1. adams_6
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        And it's for free. Look OK?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Haz out before Huddersfield is one of those crunch moments for many in FPL - he’s a terrible troll in terrible form with a wonderful fixture

          1. ktk_interista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I kicked him out for Son. I don't even care if he hauls. Captaincy % will be very low given his form and DGW as well. Son can easily match him as well. Chelsea have deeper issues than we think.

    11. joeydelucchi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      i was going to go Sterling as my double up with Sane but i went aguero instead

      A) because it was just an easier swap with auba
      B) i watched city the other night and in a few recent games and sterling seems off the pace not getting in same situatuions as before
      C) my 2 ML rivals both have Aguero as default so i wanted to cover.

  2. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    TC Sane anyone?

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      nope

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      can I consider Sane as 3 city players for this DGW by TC'ing him?

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

        I have Sane Sterling Aguero and C on Salah

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

      No chance

    4. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think its a reasonable shout if you have all the chips remaining this is probably the best dgw to do it.

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

      If you asked before the Liverpool result yesterday I would have said hell no. Now it is tempting. I think City will be up for it and will destroy Arsenal. And Everton are woeful anyway.

  3. fenixri
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    2FT

    Fab Speroni
    Alonso Taa Digne Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard Pogba Fraser GibbsWhite
    Auba Rashford Jimenez

    Digne->Kolasinac and save 1FT so I can ditch Haz and Alonso after HUD game?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Did this same move...bench Kola this GW, good to play for the next 3 GWs. Depending on how fixtures look during BGW and DGW, might keep Kola for rest of season even.

    2. adams_6
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not tempted to ditch Haz for Sterling?

  4. cuppatea78
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of Hazard out, Sane in.

    What do you think?

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

      I foresee Hazard outscoring the City mids to receive prime Troll status from the community.

      1. adams_6
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        My fears precisely. I still think I'm selling though

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just did that.

  5. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Llorente good?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He actually could be a solid bargain bucket signing - could be really good - he’s so cheap, great fixtures... there are way worse punts out there

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That s what I m thinking...dunno who to,ditch though, rash, Jiménez and firmino

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

          Wouldn't ditch any of those

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah don’t sell any of those guys

          I have Ings & Wilson alongside Rash so in a different predicament

          Don’t think I’ll ever have the FT’s to get around to it though

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

      Would get if didn't have Aguero Rash Jimi

      1. Limbo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Same.

  6. Jet5605
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pogba likely to be out or just a knock?

    1. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No one knows

    2. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      There is no update yet, we have to wait

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

      One or the other

    4. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      We won't know anything until 30 minutes before game time. Like the Rash injury that was a flag until he played.

      MU status as FC Hollywood sucks for disinformation and dramatic headlines

  7. CloudSky

    Manchester City hit by Ederson injury concern after damaging Newcastle defeat

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Old news. Still not flagged

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

      It's just the telegraph. Would want to wait for an actual reliable source before worrying if I was an owner.

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Muric 4.5 ?

  8. Buck The Trent
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Own Sane but cant afford Sterling. Next best option ?

    A KDB
    B Dilva

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      frankly, neither.

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Neither: Sane / Sterling / Kun are the only options for me

  9. Maddi Son
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who do you think gets the most minutes in this DGW. Sterling, Sane or Aguero?

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

      Sane

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      They'll all end up with 60 in 1 and 30 in the other... Sane and Sterling are more devastating from the bench if I recall recent history.

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

        I checked. Sterling 1 goal from bench that I could see and Sane 1 assist in hardly any minutes beginning of season

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I might be thinking of last year... Anyway... They'll all play a part...

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

      Whoever plays best against Everton, perhaps?

      Given that they may go three deep (Digne -> Baines -> Kenny), on one side, whoever gets matched up against him.

      1. adams_6
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        ?
        They play Arsenal first

    4. Limbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      May as well ask how long a piece of string is. Even an educated guess will not suss out Pep's decision.

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

    With just City this week, Digne has an amazing opportunity to register a third successive negative score. Can't imagine that's happened before many times.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 8 Years

        Isn't it just for one of the games (Wolves)?

          Pro foul will probably get another 2 on top.

      It will be interesting to see - if only because I'm not intending to get caught a third time.

    That Ward-Prouse bredder has been flying under the radar. Three goals in successive gameweeks. Could be a steal at 5.0 and saves me from tripling up on Wolves by doing Richarlison > Jota/Moutinho

    1. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Prefer Brooks, personally

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Three awful fixtures in the next 5 though. JWP is a more essential figure in the Southampton team. Who knows. Bit of a coin flip really.

      Looked at both for 5th mid. Would need injuries most weeks to start over rest of my front 8 so only useful BB and price rises

    Great news for United fans and football fans in general.

    Does anybody know if Fellaini’s new club is way, way over the other side of China?...I do hope so.

    1. Emp

      not quite sure where this stick against Fellaini comes from. A solid and hard working player who has contributed well wherever he has played at. Doesn't really deserve those comments.

    What happened to the Scoutcast this week - can't find it on YouTube or Apple Podcasts.

    Advice be appreciated, 2 FT's 0.8 ITB

    Loris,
    Doherty, AWB, Robertson
    Sane (C), Pogba, Richarlison, Hazard, Salah
    Rashford, Jiminez

    (Digne*, Bennett, Kamara*)

    Hazard > Sterling and then Digne > TAA next week if he's fit? Will sort Kamara out on WC?

    Bench order help please:

    A - Bednarek (bur)
    B - Doherty (eve)
    C - McArthur (FUL)

    1. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Who are you playing over B? Wouldn't bench him

      1. Jet5605
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Shaw - Robertson - AWB
        Salah - Sane - Pog - Richarlison
        Barnes - Jiminez - Barnes

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

          Shaw sucks

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

      Doherty should be starting. Don't believe you have no room in your 11

      1. Jet5605
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        See above my team. Who would you drop?

    have I got the bench order right here?.. tough one this week

    ederson
    robertson - pva - awb
    salah - sterling(c) - sane - siggy - pogba
    rashford - jiminez

    fab - ings - doherty - bednarek

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

      I'd play doherty ahead of AWB personally, wouldn't want to double up on palace, feel fulham will score at least one

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

    Bye bye fellaini

  19. VaVaVoom
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Considering the free hit but struggling here
    Current team:

    Ederson
    Laporte DLuiz Doherty Robertson
    Richarlison Salah Hazard Pogba
    Rashford Jiminez
    {Fabi, Ings, Hojberg, WanB.}

    or the free hit team I'm considering
    Kepa
    Robertson, Doherty, DLuiz, WanB
    Richarlison, Sane, Sterling, Hazard
    Aguero (c), Rashford
    {Speroni, Sinclair, Cook, mctominay} - cheapest bench fodder

    (4 changes to starting 11 and 4 double GW)

    A. stick with current team.
    B. free hit!
    C. 1 or 2 transfers (which?) - only have one FT

    1. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A. Get city mid if pogba is injured

  20. BigAsGiroud_
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How about this plan?
    Hazard + Digne to Sterling + Jonny now,
    GW26: Wilson to Rondon
    GW27: Rich to Son

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

      Hazard vs Huddersfield. Sterling been bang average lately

      1. BigAsGiroud_
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        just lose faith on Chelsea's offense, and clearly Sarri can't handle the players in the room and being like Mourinho

  21. CROCosta
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    was not planning to use wc just yet but a lot of my players dropped or doubtful: ederson, hamer, digne, nasri, pogba, kamara so if ederson confirmed out tomorrow i'm wc-ing for sure.
    advice on no-salah wc team:
    ryan - foster
    doherty - taa - kolasinac - holebas - bennet
    sterling - sane - mane - son - hayden
    aubameyang - rashford - llorente
    0.0 itb

    1. Boomerang V
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Boruc is a good shout at 3.9, I would get him over Ryan.
      No Liverpool defense could be a problem
      No Salah is a problem
      You could get Aguero for the double and then swap him to Auba right after

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

        ryan's fixture's are great until last 3 gameweeks of the season and foster covers perfectly for his gw 27 and 33. boruc might come in place over foster, but how come he got minutes before begovic, will this be a season long thing?

        I have taa as liverpool def cover, he should be back either this or next matchday. if he is confirmed out i might pick lovren instead

        no salah is bad but honestly would rather have mane+son then salah+non usable bench (especialy alongside hayden and bennet which will already be used basically never)

        aguero for auba not bad for this week, but already planning on ditching sane next week for pogba and week after holebas for pereira so do would not like another 1 week punt.

        Another consideration i have is sterling+auba -> salah+vardy, what do you think of that?

        1. Boomerang V
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Auba's GWs 26 to 28 are too good and Sterling has a double so I like the first option better. I would just have plan ready to get Salah. MAybe with a WC.

  22. shearer9
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    When will we know the upshot of Pogba's injury? Keen to get Sterling in if he's out.

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

      and after you will have to take him out again for the BGW

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

        REPLY FAIL sorry

        1. shearer9
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Hahaha

        2. Bavarian
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          sorry again, yes the answer is correct 🙂

      2. shearer9
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I know. Will take Haz out GW26 then Sterling out GW27. Simple.

  23. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I know it's been asked a few times, but who to replace digne with?
    (1ft, 1.4itb)
    1) digne->taa (if fit)
    2) digne -> Doherty
    3) digne->cheap def (lascelles/clyne) for blank gws
    4) play Pereira vs MU and have 2ft next week to do hazard kamara-> Auba 5.3mid

    FAB, 4.0
    Robbo awb Pereira (schindler digne)
    Sane hazard Salah Anderson pogba
    Rashford Jimenez (kamara)

  24. Boomerang V
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Attacking wise Sterling, Sané and Aguero are the obvious City picks for the double gw but something tells me the biggest scorer will be KDB, Dilva, Bilva or even Gundogan or Fernandinho because that is what always happens at the DGWs the unexpected ones always outscores the obvious ones,... The problem is how to nail the right one.

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Gundogan. He always pops up with unexpected goals.

  25. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Martial to Son seems like a logical move but reading reports he may not play- thoughts?

  26. simong1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    If Pogba is confirmed injured, is Pogba & Wilson > Sane & Llorente for a hit a good move?

    Would look to replace Richarlison with Pogba the week after then (no loss of value as only got him in last GW)

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why lose the value on Pogba?

      1. simong1
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I would only lose 0.1 as was late to the game and only got Pogba in last GW. No big deal losing replacing short term so right?

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah not much of an issue in that case

  27. barcaa7
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Auba to Kun and Alonso to Laporte for free
    yes or no

  28. Teror
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I find it interesting that Barnes is so talked up on the Scoutcast but Westwood has outscored him and costs 1.1 less.

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      barnes is a striker westwood is a cm. westwood has also played 500 more minutes..

  30. Snikii
    • 10 Years

    Would you play Mitro away to Palace or Deulofeu away to Brighton?

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mitro. Brighton are quite good at home defensively.
