Scoutcast Episode 284 – Emotional

The emotional side of Fantasy Football management cannot be underestimated. 

As the Scoutcast’s discussion on mental health shows, many managers can struggle in their everyday life when a bad Gameweek strikes. 

This episode features some powerful accounts of the impact being a Fantasy manager can have on the community’s lives, from sleepless nights to depression. Az, Joe and David also reveal how Fantasy Football has affected their emotional wellbeing over the years.

Recorded midway through a season-defining first Double Gameweek of 2018/19, the crew also look back on their decision to shun Manchester City’s hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero. 

City assets feature again in our community questions section, as the crew assess likely rotation, especially around future Double Gameweeks. 

Elsewhere, Chelsea’s new-look attack is also weighed up.

The crew then finish off with a detailed look at their Gameweek 26 transfer moves, captaincy decisions, differential picks and clean sheet prospects.

    Hmm after the FA cup match yesterday i starting to wounder why i have Middlesbrough as my favorite team in England?

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

      Did you start supporting them in the mid 90s when they had Juninho?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Oh my God Juninho. What a player. Did he play there twice?

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

          Yes, I think he did, the season Middlesborough got to the cup final I think they were quite popular with the neutral fan base.

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

        Yes, a fantastic player

    2. #FPLBhuna

      heard a few of your players were quite disrespectful towards the fans too after the game yesterday

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

        Ok, didnt event Watch the game to the END.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What happened in particular?

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

    Whats the best attacking 7 at the moment? Have
    Salah pogba son mane
    Auba jiminez rashford
    Any better changes out there?

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

      I have 5 ( Sané Hazard over Pogba Mané). But thinking of Hazard to Pogba due to fixtures so agree other than think would still take Sané over Mané and only agree with Aubameyang over Aguero due to blank and fixtures.

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

        I really like sane too. But the rotation is only gonna get worse and with blank coming i shifted to mane. Hope his 2 goals dosnt end his spell though.

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

          Mane's 2 goals*

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      After tonight I will likely have

      Salah, Son, Pogba, Jota
      Aguero, Rash, Jimi

      Mané is a good pick but with my current defence I can't afford him - one for the future

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

      I'm just one letter off 😛

      Sane over Mane. Hoping he puts in a good performance and keeps his place. Would like to keep him for GW28-30 when a lot of players will ditch for GW27.

    4. FPLGeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Might take a -8 to get this 7 for next game week

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

    Still annoyed with myself for talking about Auba to Aguero hokey cokey and not doing it. Not quite to extent as in this clip........

    https://twitter.com/FPL_Partridge/status/1092434446014431233?s=20

    But very undecided whether to play side below and carry transfer or go Hazard to Pogba and Steele to Fabianski for -4?
    What would you do ? (Boruc not going to get much v Liverpool and Pogba could haul v Fulham......... )

    A Stick
    B make transfers

    Boruc*
    Doherty Van Dijk Kolasinac
    Salah (c) Sané Hazard* Son
    Aubameyang Rashford Jimenez

    Steele Bednarek AWB Gunnarsson

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

    Sane + Hazard + Healey -> Son + Auba + 5.4 max mid for -4? Worth it?

    Alisson
    VanDijk Shaw Doherty
    Hazard Sane Salah Pogba Anderson
    Rashford Jimnez

    Speroni WanB Duffy Healey

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes probably.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes sounds like a good move

  5. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Let’s it’s this time last week. Why aren’t you going to sell Auba for Aguero and why are you getting in Sane, you pretty much know he’ll only play one of two games?
    Will you TC and why?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Let’s say*

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Mate, Aguero’s only going to get one game. Jesus will def come in - and Aguero will prob play Arsenal so that’ll be a much tougher game. Sane’s definitely going to start both - Mendy’s still out, and Arsenal’s weak spot is right-back. It’ll probably be Lichtensteiner, so that’s ripe for getting in behind and cutting back across goal. Sané’s nailed on for a couple of assists probably.

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        *blank face*

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        this was also all sound thinking. shame it didnt turn out that way

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I really don’t think Sane will start both. Maybe the Arsenal game but I reckon he’ll get rested for Everton and then back in for Chelsea.

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I personally already had Sane and no other DGW players - Sane remained my only other DGW player as I knew that I wanted Auba back and would therefore have to pay 2FT and the extra $ I would lose from selling Auba in the first place. Was iffy on going without Aguero though, for sure. Bear in mind he may not start today though.

      I also chose to (c) salah because of those doubts over man city asset gametime.

      However, long term I think that holding out may actually benefit me, as keeping the money ITB that I would otherwise have lost gave me the exact amount to do Haz Quaner to Son Rashford.

      That's just me though. for the scenario you described, can't say i would have done what you're describing people did. and would not have played TC

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Should I TC Aguero as I have him in for Auba?

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          tough one hypothetically, with hindsight and all. I would say no as I didn't expect such a big score from him, nor did/do i expect over 100mins. So no.

          Had Hazard had a DGW this week (screw you brighton), he would've been my TC - shame!

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Now that would have been tempting.

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

    Hey folks. Planning to save the transfer, here.
    Any thoughts on how to line-up my team this week?

    Patrício
    Robertson, TAA* (BOU), Doherty (NEW)
    Sterling, Sané, Son, Pogba (V), Martial
    Aubameyang (C), Rashford

    Hamer | AWB (WHU), Digne (wat), Solanke (liv)

    1FT. 0.2 ITB.

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

      What are you doing with Martial long term? I have the same 3 from United and Martial has to go soon surely.

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

        Not sure yet. I'm hoping to keep him until GW34 WC, but that might be a bit too wishful. It somewhat depends on the chip strategy, which may change for me come GW27, so I'm just holding on and seeing what happens for now. I can't see him being ousted from the starting XI entirely, so I'm happy to take a few disappointing minutes until it becomes a bit more obvious that I'm wrong

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

      Just like that, maybe Digne before Awb

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

        Cheers Fenixri

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

    All I'm asking for from the fraud tonight is a (S)terling start. Don't disappoint me baldie.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You had your points, some of us were less lucky with Pep's roulette (Sane TC).

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

        Don't want Sane to do too well because his EO is over 100. He can assist Sterling once though.

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

        who's your vice?

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

          Never mind. I see its Salah. That was a risky choice considering Sane was never likely to play more than a total of 130 minutes.

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

    Any advice? I have 1FT and currently on saving it.

    Fab Boruc
    Alonso Taa Doherty Awb Kolasinac
    Pogba Salah Hazard Fraser GibbsWhite
    Auba Rash Jimenez

  9. yakirh

    Who to play in GW 26?
    A. Richarlison
    B. Laporte

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      easily richa for me

      away at his former employer - motivation right there

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  10. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    already doing sane > mane (ft)

    would you do siggy + ederson > son + 4.6m gk (-8)

    does that pay off over the next few games given the former have a blank in 27?

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

    Nantes have demanded payment from Cardiff for Sala within ten days or will take legal action. Nice timing as recovery teams are trying to recover his body.

    Classy

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No room for sentiment were big money is involved.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Was just about to post about this... not sure what to make of it.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I suppose you can see both sides of the argument..but maybe they could have waited at least for the body to be found ....

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, agreed.

    3. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      The World goes on...but yes, a very classless and ill timed move on their part.

    4. John Colby (Capt)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It’s a disgrace isn’t it. Mentioned on the previous page that the premier league should show some solidarity with Cardiff and contribute to the transfer cost. What a magnanimous gesture to show

    5. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      This was discussed before. As I understand it, Cardiff plan to honour the contract but are waiting until all the facts from the flight incident are established. So the article just paints Nantes in an insensitive light, but I imagine it will be a non-issue

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. Started a little thread previous page. Not jumping to conclusions yet.

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

      I imagine it’s all down to the insurance policy and whether it will respond, there’s probably an exclusion in it for unlicensed aircraft (which this was rumoured to be). Cardiff may has no cover which would mean they’d have to stump up the full £15m. Either way it’s very poor timing and taste from Nantes to be pushing for payment at this stage.

  12. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski Button
    Robertson TAA Digne AWB Doherty
    F.Anderson Sane Sterling Salah Pogba
    Rashford Ings Jimenez

    1 FT 0.4 ITB
    What would you do here? I'm thinking Sterling>Son.

  13. Ahmed Adam
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    i hope that Sterling Will Start To night

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I Hope He Doesn’t. 😉

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      i hope the opposite, sorry mate

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years

      "Someone has to start against Burnley", as was the motto before the Spurs-Burnley match.

    Who gets more points this week?

    A) Mane BOU (H) + Aguero CHE (H)
    B) Sane CHE (H) + Aubameyang HUD (A)

    1. Cojones of Destiny

      probz b because of aubz

      Let the games begin 😆

      Pep guaranteed to break some FPL hearts

          Break?? More like Stab

    2. The Polymath

      I swear, the next person who says "I don't think Sane will play tonight"......

      😀

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I think Sane will play tonight

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I dont see the logic in thinking he wont

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I'm pretty sure those who say that are just trying to rile Sane captainers.

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

        Ok let's just get this straight. Sané IS playing tonight. FACT.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Pep doesn't do FACTS

          Like "Pep, you're most in-form players is Sane"

          Pep, "Good I'll leave him out"

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

            He saw a way of beating Arsenal without him but two consecutive benchings? Not a chance. Gundogan to drop out, Dilva to move central and Leroy back on the left.

      4. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’ll be ok. He’s nailed for both mate !

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ha. Nice.

    3. Oh Maddison
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard + Sane + Ings -> Son, Auba and Jota for -8, good move?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        i always hesitate with hits more than a -4, especially if you're removing players that, well, play. I had no qualms removing Quaner for Rashford for a -4, for example

    4. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      thoughts on this move lads?

      long/sane/haz ~> aub/mane/5.3 fodder (minus 4)? will sort out def by gw 27 with 2ft

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

      Fabianski / Boruc
      Kola / Pereira / Doherty / AWB / Bednarek
      Salah / Mane / Pogba / Son / Westwood
      Auba / Rash / Jimenez

      0.4 ITB, any comments on this WC team? Will get Citizens after 27

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years

        seems balanced

    6. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Does anybody on here keep a spreadsheet of their FPL history, high scores, low scores, team value etc? I have never bothered myself but am interested as I think I am on for my record high FPL score this game week having got a possible record low last week.

      Or is life too short?

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

        Bit extreme but i imagine some probably do.

        1. Thick Of It
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          It is all a bit "po-faced librarian" but some people like that kind of thing.

        1. Thick Of It
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          A much more simple and elegant solution TM, thanks. May do this from now on. Just annoying with all the lost data.

    7. DAZZ

      Seen someone mention a MOTD challenge, without checking any results all day and watching the show. This is a great idea! Removes the anxiety of waiting on your players to perform, i might give this a go this weekend.

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        My Grandad would do this when he used to play the pools. Granted, it was a lot easier to avoid scores on a Saturday before the advent of the internet, but he'd still have to avoid talking to specific people knowing they'd inevitably bring up "the United game", and dodge the tv and radio all day.

      2. Pep Pig
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hello...... haha that was me.
        It was almost impossible. Mobile phone stayed switched off... no whatsapp messages from the lads in the FPL league.... no goal notifications. I actually enjoyed it.

        The main reason I did it was because I used to love watching MOTD not knowing any scores. It was exciting. But equally... seeing notifications of goals going in left, right and centre... and not from my men.... it would naff me off 😉

        Though it was still a relief and I had much more time for my wife. She knows I'm football mad. But I know she certainly appreciated my focus for the day 😀

          The only downside to that plan is that whichever the first few matches are you know something big has happened in them lol.

          1. Pep Pig
            • 7 Years

        I make sure I do this once a month. Hard as I work in a pub. But most of the regulars know I do this and we don’t have TVS

        ive done it before and wanna do it again. It is so invigorating. go for it. just stay off social media and avoid family who like football.

        1. Pep Pig
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I might do it again.... but wanted to watch the United game.... and all the others..... next week I promise 😀 😀

        2. DAZZ
          • 9 Years

          Essentially like watching 6 or 7 live games 🙂 just in a 5 minute span!

      5. A.T

        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’s great fun, right up until the moment you realise you’ve had a bad Gameweek and then you’ll never do it again.

        Try it tonight

    8. Drogba Legend

      Laca worth bringing in over Auba/Kun as a differential?

    9. Ted Striker

      Okay, I know this guy is just after attention and I'm giving it to him, but honestly, what a prat.

        Must have a lot of cash to waste to be able to buy so many TVs.....

      2. Pierce34

        5 years, 2 months ago

        I don't even need to click on it - is it that guy who smashes his TVs whenever his team loses?

        1. Ted Striker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          That's the badger. Got to be doing it for YouTube likes or something, nobody's that stupid.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Pretty sure it's a dollar per thousand? So 500k pays for a new one..

      3. Rupert The Horse

        Each to their own I suppose.

        1. Ted Striker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I mean sure, but why film yourself doing it? Or contact journo's to tell them that's what you do? All seems a little contrived to me.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Might just want to get some fame. Not for me but there’s plenty of weird things certain folk will do for the aforementioned.

            1. Ted Striker
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              True. Very weird.

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                But then I started a blog on scotch eggs and was eating at least 3 a day in different pubs on my days off for about a year. Doctor had to tell me to stop. People do weird things.

                1. Ted Striker
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  I’d read that blog.

      4. zon

        5 years, 2 months ago

        Some people have no sense of proportion whatsoever. This isn't obviously as bad, but falls in the same category as wishing someones (read: refs) death when a decision - in a GAME - is made against them. Nothing but contempt from me.

        1. Ted Striker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Also weird.

      What do you think of the below move? Worth it for the hit or worth doing at all in the first place?

      Hazard & Jimenez > Jota & Aubameyang (-4)

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        If I had Jimenez I wouldn’t sell tbh

        1. cravencottage
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Agree- he is great value.

        2. simong1
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Other option is replacing Rashford. Is that sensible?

      2. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not worth losing Jimi for Jota, I wanted to make Auba work so badly but just went for Laca instead. The guy has 3 in his last 4!

      3. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Could pay dividends over the coming weeks with Aubameyang's fixtures. Not so sure about losing Jiminez, however - offering superb value.

      4. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Have you Jimis fixtures?

        1. simong1
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Other option is replacing Rashford. Is that sensible?

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

            Seriously?

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Seen

          What’s wrong with me today?

          1. simong1
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Jota also has those fixtures though so could be good coverage

      Part of the fun of FPL is watching your players do well and watching your rivals players do rubbish. Agree or disagree?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Agree 100%

        Good luck to all FPL players (who have the same players as me)

        😀

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Of course

        Trouble is the fun parts are usually followed/ preceded by sickening fails haha

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Well yeah but now I’m battering my rival and it’s no fun anymore.

    12. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      An aguero brace and some bonus will cause grief for some and extreme joy for triple captainers. Although I imagine the TCs are already pretty happy...

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        *of course regular captains for aguero is good too!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah got him in last week but just captained him. Just 1 goal and I’ll get a 100.

      2. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Just want Sterling to start! Sane can go on the left, Sterling on right and Aguero watching from home 😉

        1. John Colby (Capt)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I’m with you ‘abs. C’mon Raheem

      3. Thick Of It
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        TC Aguero is three points off the average score this game week currently, any sort of haul and he will beat it.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Wow. Really should have TC him.

          1. Thick Of It
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Such luck that I did, about 15 mins before the deadline. Has seen a +100,000 increase in rank this week into the top 40,000. Having Redmond, Has and Luiz helped this week as well though.

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              I really respect that. Great job bro.

      4. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        As a non Kun owner and sane captainer I was tempted to stick a few quid on Aguero to score twice tonight to cover my annoyance if it happens. Probs won’t bother though and odds are terrible (3 to 1). He may not even start so wouldn’t place bet until this was confirmed.

      5. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        "Sergio Aguero has scored just one goal for every 358 minutes he has faced Everton, his worst goal-per-minute record against any Premier League side".

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You've just reverse jinxed him and he will now score a hat-trick

        2. Thick Of It
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I will gladly accept a few assists.

        3. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Excellent - he’s due!

      6. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Want Sane to stay at home tucked up so I get Kun VC 😉

    13. jimmyabs1987

      Anyone thinking a revival for Maddison with coming Leicester fixtures?

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

        They are playing Spurs.

        Hold the chat until after that

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

        I'd rather have Pereira

      3. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        i d like him but was told barnes might be a wiser choice...

      Hi...any views on the best 4.5m mid that plays in gw31 and 33?

      Looking at mcneil, Westwood, billing and nmendy

      Thanks!

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

        McNeil will play, and at 4.4M not a bad differential

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

      How is Arnie doing?

    16. Stefan1221
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I know this sounds like a stupid question and probably is but should I get in mane this week for hazard or wait till next week. Just feel like hazard could play well. 4 point hit either way

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        mane as utd away next i wouldnt rush him in to be honest

        1. Stefan1221
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Who would you get instead of hazard then?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I personally am keeping him. I ll get a cheap mid to cover for gw27
