Scout Notes

Vardy’s owners facing a tough choice ahead of Double Gameweek 35

There was only one place to start our Scout Notes from Saturday’s trilogy of Premier League matches.

Leicester City put four goals past relegated Huddersfield Town in West Yorkshire and there was plenty of joy for those investing in the Foxes’ Fantasy assets for this Blank Gameweek 33 encounter.

We recap the goals, assists, latest injury updates, stand-out manager quotes and key Fantasy talking points from the John Smith’s Stadium in our article below.

Huddersfield Town 1-4 Leicester City

  • Goals: Aaron Mooy (£5.0m) | Youri Tielemans (£6.1m), Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) x2, James Maddison (£6.9m)
  • Assists: Karlan Grant (£5.0m) | Ricardo Pereira (£5.4m), Jamie Vardy

With Leicester City not having a Double Gameweek 35 and facing three of the “big six” in Gameweeks 36 to 38, their Fantasy assets may be on borrowed time in some managers’ squads.

Those deploying their second Wildcard or loading up on players with two fixtures in Gameweek 35 may be overlooking the Foxes and their in-form players but a comprehensive win for Brendan Rodgers’ troops at Huddersfield on Saturday may have further sown seeds of doubt into the minds of FPL bosses who already own the likes of Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) et al.

This was Leicester’s fourth win on the bounce and the Foxes face fairly appealing opposition in Newcastle United (who are winless in eight away matches) and an out-of-sorts West Ham United before their fixtures turn for the worse in three weeks’ time.

There aren’t any Fantasy Premier League forwards who can compete with Vardy when filtered by their last six matches.

Vardy has nine attacking returns (seven goals, two assists) in the half-dozen fixtures since Claude Puel was fired, with no other FPL player able to match that tally when filtered by the same criteria.

Even after a barren first half for the striker at the John Smith’s Stadium, there was always the sense that Huddersfield’s fragile backline could be exposed at any moment by the Foxes’ lurking number nine.

It took just two minutes of the second half for Vardy to convert Ricardo Pereira‘s (£5.4m) superb cross from the right flank and, while Ben Hamer (£3.9m) almost kept out the Leicester striker’s 83rd-minute penalty, Vardy deserved that slice of luck having being fouled for the spot-kick when presented with an open goal.

Vardy also recorded a “Fantasy assist” after being felled for the free-kick that James Maddison (£6.9m) brilliantly converted, capping off a memorable afternoon for his owners – and those who captained him.

No player on show in West Yorkshire registered more attempts on goal or penalty box touches than Vardy, while the two “big chances” that he converted means that the Leicester striker only trails Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) for clear-cut opportunities over his last six matches.

Vardy’s goal conversion rate over this season and the previous three campaigns is over 20% and he is the only FPL asset who can boast such a strike rate from 2015/16 onwards.

Brendan Rodgers said of his in-form centre-forward:

It’s been a real joy to work with Jamie. He’s 32 but he’s very hungry, and he’s hungry to improve and get better.

The style of the team and the aggression of the team always helps him because you’re pressing the game hard when you haven’t got it and you’re creating opportunities.

He’s one of the best in the league, he’s already proven that, but he’s shown the hunger to continue with that.

Vardy wasn’t the only Leicester asset who rewarded his owners on Saturday afternoon.

Maddison and Youri Tielemans (£6.1m) both found the back of the net with long-range strikes and again shone in the middle of the park, with Maddison, in particular, impressing with his improved distribution (a 95% success rate) and sharp turns in midfield.

Maddison was the more advanced of the two players and Tielemans found the back of the net without touching the ball once in the Huddersfield box, having superbly smashed in Leicester’s opener from a cleared corner.

While Tielemans’ three shots all came from outside the Terriers’ area, Maddison twice had close-range “big chances” saved by Hamer after good work by Harvey Barnes (£5.5m).

On Maddison, Rodgers said:

He’s an outstanding talent, he’s a better player than I thought he was.

Coming into work with him, what he has is a hunger. He’s not just a good player.

His free-kicks, he works on them every day, so it’s not by accident.

He does what he’s asked to do in his job, which is create goals and score goals.

The front five players were very dynamic, very quick and looked a real threat.

Barnes didn’t record a single shot before being hooked on 60 minutes but looked dangerous down the left in the early exchanges, whipping in an excellent ball that Maddison failed to connect with before later setting up his team-mate for those two aforementioned big chances.

Rodgers explained why the youngster had been replaced by Shinji Okazaki (£5.2m) with half an hour to go:

The thinking was to get four players on the inside, to gain that control. I felt that, when it got to 2-1, they had a bit of momentum.

I just wanted to change the dynamic of the team, rather than play with a winger, just bring in an extra midfield player to give us four versus three in the middle.

Demarai Gray (£5.4m), the fifth member of the Leicester attack, blanked again and hasn’t delivered a single attacking return under his new boss.

Gray should have been on the scoresheet here, though, blazing over after good work by Vardy and then firing straight at Hamer when clean through on goal.

A clean sheet failed to materialise for the Foxes but Ricardo at least picked up a bonus point to go with his assist.

Ben Chilwell (£5.1m) left with only two appearance points, however, despite having over twice as many touches in the final third as his fellow full-back.

Caglar Soyuncu (£4.8m) had a mixed game at the back, giving away the penalty that Aaron Mooy (£5.0m) converted to reduce the arrears to 2-1.

His manager – as one would expect – was full of support after full-time, however:

A special mention to Cags, our centre-half. He was only told this morning he was playing.

Apart from a loose pass at the end when he was tired, I thought he was outstanding in the game, having not played for five months.

Soyuncu was only playing because of a minor injury to Jonny Evans (£4.8m), with the Leicester boss saying:

He had a slight hip problem, Jonny. He trained yesterday but felt a bit sore. We gave him 24 hours to see if it could calm down but he still felt the pain. I didn’t want to risk it.

Harry Maguire (£5.4m) also missed out but Rodgers confirmed his absence was on compassionate grounds rather than anything fitness-related:

I took the choice away from him. Harry’s partner Fern was in hospital, a few little complications within the pregnancy and birth.

I said, “Listen, go and look after her”. Thankfully, the baby was born, everything is healthy.

Harry can come back in safe in the knowledge that they’re both fine. He gets ready now for Monday to train and ready for next week.

Huddersfield at least went down fighting and had a brief go at Leicester, with Karlan Grant (£5.0m) wasting a glorious chance to level the game at 1-1 shortly before Vardy doubled the visitors’ lead.

Substitute Steve Mounie (£5.8m) also forced Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0m) into an excellent save but the relegated Terriers’ deficiencies were again exposed at both ends of the pitch.

It’s Huddersfield’s recent defensive record that will be of interest to those considering Watford assets for Double Gameweek 35, as well as Spurs and Liverpool players either side of that round of fixtures.

No club has conceded more goals or big chances than Jan Siewert’s side when Premier League sides are filtered by their last four matches.

The Huddersfield boss said after full-time:

First of all, I have to say the credit from our side to Leicester as they were much more clinical than we were.

We tried everything and this is exactly the quality in the Premier League, I would say.

In the situation where they have a 50/50 chance, they score. We need too many possibilities to score then.

Steve [Mounie] came on the pitch and tried everything.

He had his chances, so he showed that he wanted to change the game, unfortunately, he could not, but he tried everything to do it.

Isaac Mbenza (£5.9m) returned for the hosts’ in this match after a lengthy lay-off, while Terence Kongolo (£4.3m) shrugged off a minor injury to play the full 90 minutes.

Jonas Lossl (£4.4m), Philip Billing (£4.5m) and Zanka (£4.4m) again missed out, with Siewert saying after full-time:

They were not injured. I have to look at each player in the squad and have to look at each player who has a contract, so I did this today. This is the reason.

Huddersfield Town XI (4-2-3-1): Hamer; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Hogg (Bacuna 81′), Stankovic (Mbenza 46′); Mooy, Pritchard (Mounie 59′), Lowe; Grant.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Ricardo, Soyuncu, Morgan, Chilwell; Ndidi (Choudhury 87′); Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes (Okazaki 61′); Vardy (Ihenacho 90′).

    Should I stick with Vardy for GW34 then use FT to do Vardy > Laca for DGW35?

    Yes or No?

    1. KINGS
      • 5 Years

      Tempted to do so

      You'll get a good idea after the game.

    3. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes imo. Vardy is in amazing form, I'd leave him one more game.

    4. Colonial

      Yes

    5. Kiwivillan

            thats my dilemma lad lol

  2. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    No wildcard, no BHA, no Spurs, no Arsenal, no Watford, no Wolves, no Soton, etc.
    To say my transfer decisions are going to be vital over the next couple of GWs is an understatement!

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd forget about Brighton double gameweek 34 if I were you.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        def considering that but might get one Duffy/Ryan

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Pool will save you.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        🙂

    3. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      On the exact same boat as you. Luckily, I do have 2 FTs this week so I'm looking at a -4 in both of the next 2 GWs. This gives me one player from each team (bar Soton) you mentioned. What's your plan?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        also have 2FTs might take a -8 and bring in four players for GW34...but still undecided

    4. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      We're fretting not owning Brighton, Watford, Wolves and Southampton now? Only own Kola and Bednarek from those teams and I'm actually looking forward to my Pool triple-ups against the double GWers. Feels different to be rooting for single GWers in a DGW but we always crib about them outscoring the DGWers, so let's see what this throws up. Pity about the Bournemouth attack double-up against Fulham, was looking good until this week.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, being different to the herd on here might not be shocking. I took a different approach this season, feels weird navigating the last six GWs chipless but I've enjoyed it thus far 🙂
        Double LIV defence has been a bit of a let down in recent GWs so need to decide if I hold out with that or not!

  3. KINGS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Saw a post earlier suggesting TC in GW35 and BB in GW36. Thought is a good idea as the DGW35 not that appealing. What do you guys think?

    1. Colonial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I am WC gw34, BB gw35 already have 10 DGWplayers and then TC 36 Kane or Salah - seems to work for me.

    2. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd rather TC Mané/Salah vs Huddersfield in GW36 or Aguero/Sterling vs Leicester in GW37 than any DGWers in GW35 tbh.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm confused. GW36 is just a normal single GW is it not? Why would you use a BB then?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        For those loading up on Brighton assets, using a BB chip for Wolves and Spurs away might not be that rewarding.

        DGW35 teams have good fixtures in GW36
        Brighton v Newcastle
        Watford v Wolves
        Southampton v Bournemouth
        Spurs v West Ham
        Burnley v Man City
        Leicester v Arsenal

        Plus Liverpool v Huddersfield

        Using BB in GW36 could pay off, instead of having to bench someone like Jota or JWP in that week

        1. tokara
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          good point there

  4. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Why are there so many people ignoring Aguero from their wildcard to fit in Kane ? Did I miss something or is it just for nailedness ?

    1. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Fixtures and rotation risk. Kane more nailed and there are other options with lower budget

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        But surely Aguero is gonna play every minute to help them win the title, no ?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          CL is a big issue.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            spurs are in it too

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Also an issue. 1st leg score is very important.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Take it as an opportunity to cash on an a fantastic WC differential. I think there are very good reasons to leave him out when you consider the budget constraints but that doesn't all of a sudden make him a bad option.

  5. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Like many on here I'm trying to make up my mind between Aguero or Sterling on my WC (I don't think you can afford both without unbalancing your team). Just thinking out loud here so feel free to throw as much mud as you like at this:

    It's fair to say that every game is vital now for city with the league, cups and CL in the balance so you'd want to play him and Sterling as much as possible. If Aguero plays the remaining games in the league plus the cup final and both CL legs against spurs, by my reckoning he will have played more games than ever before in a season (this is assuming they get knocked out of the CL against Spurs, if they don't = more games). Aguero is nearly 31. Raheem is 24.

    Kun is currently injured, could be nothing or could be this season catching up with him. Perhaps he's a bigger injury/rotation risk than Raheem for the run-in?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah I'm starting to think Sterling is more important to City. Jesus can quite easily fit into the side in Aguero's place but when Sterling doesn't play it seems to leave a bigger hole.

      Sterling also has more points this season and more points per game so the pure facts should make sterling the favourite here.

    Fab
    Taa Robbo Doherty
    Son sterling Salah tielemans Fraser

    Is Speroni to Ryan worth it for a hit if I'm getting ready to bench boost GW35?

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      no wc? can't see ryan getting any cs.. they are awful..

  7. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    0.9m short of this WC team - where would you downgrade?

    Foster, Ryan
    Trippier, Kolasinac, Doherty, Holebas, Duffy
    Sterling, Son, Bilva, Deulofeu, Camarasa
    Kane, Auba, Jimenez

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      doherty to cheap wolves def

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Good shout, but as I got Doherty early my selling price is 4.9m so still a little short. Think Bilva is worth going with on a WC?

        1. Chucky
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          ah ok.. i would rather have laporte and jota over doherty and bilva..

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah Jota looks great value, but double WOL attack has me a little nervous. I’m also 0.5m short of that switch. I got TAA early so could stick with him (for 5.2) & Jota and have 0.3m left over

    2. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Auba to Laca would free up money for midfield upgrades

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Better form similar ppm

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aubameyang to Lacazette, easy-peasy

      Expecting Trippier to start all games?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I guess he might miss one, but Spurs can’t drop many more points in the top 4 race so I expect them to be full strength most of the time

    4. AB.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No Liverpool players Jinswick?? Also curious about your choice of Auba over Laca - most managers are favouring the latter

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        CHE/SGW in 34/35 is tempting me to go without. May stick with TAA though and bring in 1-2 of Salah/Mane in 36.

        Laca is in better from, but Auba has more upside for me and having pens makes me think he’s worth the small premium. Also tempted to go with a Ramsey/Mkhi if they look like being starters

    Morning all

    I didn’t use my free hit as I was really close to the template for the last DGW. So I have all the chips left. When should I use them? Leading mini league by 65 points. Second place has WC, TC and BB left

    WC
    FH
    TC
    BB

    Cheers

      How is current team looking?

      WC this week, BB in next, TC in 36 and FH in 38 looks exciting

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years

        This chip strategy

      Depends on team. Great position to be in.

  13. Alan Watts
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Looking at Doucoure say over JWP, scored last couple of games but not much rest of season, has his position changed or just a mini streak ?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think there is much in it between these players. Doucoure is a CM in the Yaya Toure mould. He will have his streaky patches. JWP can be a frustrating player, has set pieces but should be doing more when it comes to FPL points.

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah thinking same, could upgrade to Martial though...depending on Manu injuries / lineups etc

  14. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years

    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    Foster Ryan
    Robbo Laporte Kola Doherty Valery

      Yes or No

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm considering

      EVE in last GW is also an option

    3. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Blanked last two though...thinking Son might even be better option....see how CL goes

      Depends on when you BB. I'm TCing Kane in GW35. On paper Brighton home is fairly close Hudds and he has an extra game against City to fluke in a goal.

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Fairly confused so many factors to consider but this is my first draft WC and already planning
    Vardy and Murray to Laca and Deeney for 35 for -4 🙂
    Want to hold Robertson value and holding Mane too

    Leno Gunn

    Robertson Kola Alderweirld Doherty Duffy

    Sterling Eriksen Son Mane Decoure

    Jimenez Vardy Murray

    Would love some feedback I probably got a few glaring errors here.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I have doubts Murray and Kola will start both games in a DGW, likely rotation candidates I would have thought.

      Might be worth getting another Brighton defender for the double double.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks I want nailed especially when needing 15 out for 35
        Was just looking
        At Alder Mane and Duffy
        To x,y and Kane

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen/Mane, Vardy

      To

      Redmond, Kane

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers looked at that draft and said why not go just go all in on Spurs attack.
        So yeah looking at Kane in options with Mane and Alder out and go triple Spurs attack and hope it's a cricket score against Hud and apart from City really nice fixtures til end of season.

    How is this team?
    Ryan(Foster)
    Kola Dunk TAA (Holebas)(Valery)
    Son Sterling Mane JWP(Brooks)
    Kane Jimenez Laca

    Can go Vardy instead of Laca for 34 and then switch, also Holebas to Jonny allows Brooks to Deulofeu..
    What do you think?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Dropping Lacazette for Deeney can give you good amount of cash to upgrade likes of Dunk/Valery/Brooks and even Mane

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Or if you want to keep Lacazette, then Mane to Bernardo will also allow those upgrades

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

        Agreed with Holmes

      3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers holmes, I think I'm satisfied with defence though, I only want to do Brooks to Jota.., how about Mane to Eriksen and triple up Spurs attack?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Not really sure about Eriksen to be honest. Being a fan, I would really like to own him but he is having a not so good season and has been inconsistent (compared to his own standard)

  18. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Morning guys 🙂

    Who'd you pick from

    A. Ryan, Deulofeu, Son
    B. Foster, Hojbjerg, Eriksen

    Thank you !!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B with Son?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Foster,Son,Jwp/Redmond ?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yep, that looks better

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            That's what i have currently 🙂
            So I'm Overthinking (Again 😛 )

            Thank you !

      2. JackJack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Why Son? Eriksen looks like a much better option. Son's stats dropped off the cliff.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Eriksen is more nailed of them 😮
          That's the confusion tbh

          1. JackJack
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            More nailed, better stats, better player. Go Erik.

    This time last season I was in the top 500 now I’m ranked around 81,000. Not complaining or anything but it’s a huge difference.

    Funniest thing about it is that I was way more of a casual last season, often ignoring advice on here, going more with gut feelings and putting in nowhere near the amount of research in as I have this season.

    I would recommend giving the ‘semi-casual’ approach a try for those looking to switch it up. The difference in points return between 10 mins of research on the day of the deadline and a week of tinkering and deliberating is minimal imo. Enjoy life!

      Guarantee it's not the case for most people, but interesting to see how it hasn't work out for you.

  22. Rahulio
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which 3 to bench for GW34:

    1. TAA vs CHE
    2. Mili vs MCI
    3. Wilson vs BHA
    4. Aguero(if still yellow flagged) vs CRY
    5. Brooks vs BHA
    6. Schlupp vs MCI

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Schlupp, Brooks, Trent

      1. Rahulio
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This is my choice as well currently! Let's see how it goes

  23. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I have a conspiracy theory - that Kun's injury is actually an extended rest. He substituted himself after 56 minutes when City were 2-0 up against Fulham. After the game we were told "it was precautionary" - so was he really injured? Since then he's missed Cardiff away and Brighton. Both games hardly testing. The latter, despite being a semi final, would have been the lowest priority for Pep, and still confident of getting through the game with Jesus playing. As they did.

    Kun is City's most important player, and he's now ready for the rest of the season.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

  24. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jota and Deeney

    Or

    Knockaert and jimenez

    1. Rahulio
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A because wolves and watford have a decent DGW 35

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

      First option

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota and Jimenez

      Don't really think Knocky is a good pick

  25. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Who wins:

    A. Fabianski & 2pts
    D. Digne & Kante

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      D

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      More interested in what B & C were. Seriously though, everyone scores 2 and it's a tie.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I want Fabs to keep a CS 😛

      So A for me

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you start Doherty or Deeney in 34?

    1. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney

  27. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Suspense! 😀

    This Kun/Kane switcheroo is going to haunt me this GW. I just know it.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Main motivation to Kun is CL & to Kane is Golden boot 😉

  29. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone tripling up on Spurs attack?

    1. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yup

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

      Nope.
      Kane & Lloris set for me.
      Son/Eriksen is the choice i need to make.

    3. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tempting
      Looking for a way, but currently means sacrificing Mane and going no Liverpool attack

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What do you think about this?
        Ryan, Foster
        Dunk Kola Jonny Valery TAA
        Son Mane JWP Eriksen Sterling
        Kane Laca Jimenez

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Sorry Deeney instead of Laca haha

    A)Son,Laca,Brooks,Valery
    B) Eriksen,Deeney,Jota Vertonghen
