Lacazette and Kolasinac benched as Deulofeu absent

A number of Fantasy Premier League options have missed out on places in the starting line-ups of Watford vs Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) has been named on the bench with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) leading the line on his own.

Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) are the attacking midfielders behind him.

Also among the substitutes for Arsenal is Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m), with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) handed the left-back berth.

Making his first start of the season at centre-back is Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m).

Whether he will be able to help the Gunners to a first Premier League clean sheet on the road in 2018/19 remains to be seen.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) might fancy his chances against the inexperienced defender, as he makes his 12th start in Watford’s last 13 league matches.

However, he is not joined by Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) in the side, the Spanish midfielder entirely as he deals with an ankle problem picked up in the FA Cup final.

Andre Gray (£5.9m) comes in first start since Gameweek 30.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Kiko Femenía, Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes; Deeney, Gray.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Monreal; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang.

    are these boys worth a BB:

    Foster Duffy Dunk Romeu

    I forecast...

    14 worst case
    20+ best

    a lot of bad press about BB this DGW but sure 16+ is a good return from the bench

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes if you want 15 points MAX

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Duffy and Dunk 0-2pts total each

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        And Romeu 3 points with YC and no chance for att return

          In GW 36 probably

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            and what will your bench be?

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      I believe it is. Can you get rid of dunk without taking a hit?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        yes but not for anyone any good... id need to sell Vardy to make some cash

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          What about a cheapie Wolves defender like Saiss? Or a watford defender like cathcart?

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            i was planning on using the FT on vardy though?

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Definetely do that imo. Go for Firmino / Laca. Im going with Firmino

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Sell vardy for Firmino and keep dunk then

          1. FCSB

            0.1 short haha :(((

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Tough luck! Do a -4?

              Vardy + Dunk for Firmino + Saiss could pay out longterm.

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Check Up on Saiss first though. Otherwise bednarek a decent longterm option

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                not a bad shout on the firmino pick, he has a good run in... and i could do duffy instead of dunk to open up more options

                1. FC Hakkebøf
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Not the worst option. Would allow you to get a decent defender from watford/wolves which you dont have atm.

    4. JohnnyMagrinho
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I got 13 from mine earlier on in season:

        Patricio 2
        Digne 2
        Delofeu 2
        Shaw 6

        Wouldnt say that was a success and certainly would be hoping for more than double that on a DGW that I'd planned for with a prior WC.

            when are you BBing and who with

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              He is most likely doing vardy to firm now.. not quite sure what he Will do before his BB36. I would definetely BB in 35 if I was him

      • cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What to do with this lot. BB
        Ryan, Leno
        Valery, Digne, Azpi, Luiz, Duffy
        Haz, Sterling, Pogba, JWP, Son
        Vardy, King, Jiminez
        1.2 itb

        Should I dump Vardy. Though Vardy is in form. Vardy to Firmino ( CAR A ) or double up with Wilson - Bou cover.
        Or save FT and do transfers next week.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Wouldn't bb that lot. But not sure when Else to use it in your case :/

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            You wouldn't BB the same bench as me bar JWP instead of Hojbjerg but made multiple posts saying I should be doing BB35?

            1. FCSB
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              haha... just looked at your potential bench kiwi... I'd BB with that... if you're not going to, are you going to TC??

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Yes TC. It's a horrible BB Ryan and Duffy have both averaged 1pt their last 4 away. Valery is a question mark and Soton 2 away games

                1. FC Hakkebøf
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Your right on the Valery aspect. If he is out, that might change the course of the BB for those having someone like Højbjerg/Romeu on the bench unlike me who have Jota on my bench

            2. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Look at his team. Digne Will most likely be on his bench. You dont have the same team

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                You don't understand BB. Who is on the bench is irrelevant

              2. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Are you kidding me? Who is on your bench is the essential when deciding

                1. Kiwivillan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  The bench is irrelevant. The 15 you have is all that matters. You don't get extra points for bench arrangement

                  1. FC Hakkebøf
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Wow you clearly dont get it. He doesnt have to play BB this week. Look at my comment below

                    1. FC Hakkebøf
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      Bench is not irrelevant when deciding wether to use it this week or another week where you have a Better bench. You should use the chip in a week where you expect your bench to score the highest. Its the starting XI that dont matter when BBing. Should be pure logic

            3. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Also calm down. Made one post about what I would do if I were you. And that was not a post but a reply to DDFC

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                And I also said I dont know when Else to BB in his case hinting this COULD be the right week to do IT as I have not done the math properly

                1. Kiwivillan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  We both have Ryan Duffy Valery and JWP/Hojbjerg. BB means play all 15 so doesn't matter who you stick on your bench. It's like people double counting outs in poker

                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    It matters if you play 11 otherwise.

                    1. FC Hakkebøf
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      You just pulled it off in one sentence lol

                    2. Kiwivillan
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      Bench placement for 11 obviously. 15 irrelevant

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

                        Obviously, the extras are who you'd bench, hence 11.
                        Which bench scores more = better bench boost.

                  2. FC Hakkebøf
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    He should play Valery over Digne. Which means Digne is on the bench, which then means the bench MIGHT not be worth benchboosting for. What is it that you dont understand?

                    And my suggestion was to NOT to BB this week because Digne has a SGW with a bad fixture. That being said im not sure when else to Play BB in his situation as I have not done the math with his exact team. So might be right to BB this week afterall.

                    1. Kiwivillan
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      No the 15 is all that matters. We've already seen SGW vs DGW is irrelevant this week... again

                      1. FC Hakkebøf
                        • 7 Years
                        4 years, 11 months ago

                        I give up on you. You have a good rank etc, but either you dont read what I write, don't understand english or just dont understand which factors to consider before using the BB. Either way this is becoming a mission impossible for me to explain it to you.

                        1. FC Hakkebøf
                          • 7 Years
                          4 years, 11 months ago

                          IT doesnt matter where you put your players when BB'ing, but who you got on the bench in that exact week matters regarding your decision to BB or not to BB that given week. Is that more clear? Sure do hope so 😀 Good night and good luck

                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            You're creating implied scoring for DGW vs SGW that doesn't exist yet. The only thing that should matter for BB is strength of squad relative to form and fixtures.

                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            No im not. Im saying Digne has bad SGW and that benchboosting while him being a part of the 15 players might not be a good idea. Please read what I write.

                          3. FC Hakkebøf
                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            For instance: its stupid to BB when you have 4 sgw players with bad fixtures as you could just as well bench them in that week and Play the BB in a week there the players, you would otherwise bench, has good fixtures.

                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            Digne has 7 6 8 last 3 home vs Pool Chelsea Arse

                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            I would take all his SGW players over Ryan Duffy Valery JWP. Most of them have better fixtures/minutes security than most DGW players. That's my point essentially

                          6. FC Hakkebøf
                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            That is not the point of OUR discussion, Jesus. But yes, if you think, Digne scores high and that the other players, you would otherwise bench if not using BB also scores fair amount of points, then yes IT might be a good week to BB. As I stated I have not done the math to clarify if another week would be Better for the Guy who started the thread. We are seriously going in circles here.

                          7. FC Hakkebøf
                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            If thats the case then yes I think he should BB. And fair point with Digne

                          8. FC Hakkebøf
                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 11 months ago

                            If his bench would otherwise be Ryan, Duffy, Valery and JWP (who would Play if he used BB) then I think it is worth BB'ing this week as I also suggested you to. Now were finally on the same page lol

                            I think we miscommunicated buddy. Communication is a two way street. Best of luck!

        Hey all. 0.2 ITB, and planning to BB35 still. Will likely look at getting Salah in for TC v HUD in GW36, as I see a few plan to here too.

        Any changes to this team for BB35, or look okay (for now)?

        Lloris Foster
        Robertson Laporte Duffy Doherty Bednarek
        Mane Son Pogba Eriksen Højbjerg
        Aguero Vardy Jiménez

        Thinking Jiménez captain too! 🙂

          Duffy is the only one I think who's fixtures aren't great for the BB, maybe could try and move him on for a wolves defender or watford if you are confident in any of them?

        Would you rather BB Duffy and Ryan against

        A) Wolves & Spurs (both away)

        or

        B) Newcastle (home)

        Think Llorente will play both in dgw and A good Deeney replacement?

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

          Shocked if plays City in the league. He'll play Brighton though which may be good enough.

        Who to get in for Deeney? Up to 6.0 to spend. Gray?

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

          Llorente?

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

            Slightly out of reach

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

              He’s 5.1

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

                Ah nice! For some reason I thought he was 6.1

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

          Try Ings?

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

            Gray is also fine

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

            Ings is a decent shout as I may also need to deal with Valery so could get him up to a 4.7 defender

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

          Ings as long term balancer

          The 4 D's are issues.

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah, might be Dunk who goes.

      • Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years

        Worried about Mariappa's minutes now. Dammit. Might switch to Jonny.

        Lloris Gunn
        Robertson Dunk Montoya Mariappa Valery
        Sterling Mane Son Jota JWP
        Aguero Vardy Jimenez

        0.1m ITB // 1 FT // BB active

        Should I do Mariappa->Jonny? Or roll FT? Obviously I'll do Valery->Bednarek if Ralph confirms he's out.

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

          you still feeling BB this week with double brighton and mariappa?

              Good luck to you mate! As i'm assuming you are a southampton fan how do you think Dings will do the rest of the season?

                Said it last page, but will say it again haha
                "If people think Deeney->Ings is the answer, just be careful. Danny has JUST recovered from a hamstring njury, and Ralph has said that one of the reasons that may have been a factor why he relapsed back to the treatment table was because he was played too frequently/too quickly, and the put a lot of strain on his hamstring.
                Add to the fact that we are less likely to be relegated in comparioson to the likes if Cardiff and Brighton, and hard to imagine Ralph will risk his top scorer by playing him in BOTH DGW games."

          Who is Mariappa???

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

        I should probably save a FT and delay the BB with this lot now right?

        Foster
        TAA, Doherty, Duffy
        Sterling, Son, Eriksen, Mane, Jota
        Aguero, Jimenez

        Ryan, Dunk, Connolly, Deeney
        Bank 0.0m, 1FT

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          You can't BB that. 2 out plus triple Brighton D

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

            Yeah, it’s a mess. One option is Deeney & Connolly -> 4.3 (WAT defender) & Ings (-4), which would give me 13 DGWers plus TAA/Mane

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

          With 2 deadwoods, looks like that.

          -4 to add Llorente and Bednarek still allows BB

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

            Llorente could be a good shout - reckon he plays both?

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

              Do you expect anything vs City?

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

              Atleast Brighton which is probably more important than Man City game for FPL points. Anything from Man City will be bonus...

        3. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I'd say TC this week, use BB when you have a decent bench.
          Do you still have TC?

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

            Yep, still have TC. Nobody really stands out though this week. Maybe Raz?

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              A gamble too far imo. I'd say Son, who was rested vs HUD. I assume thats a sign he'll start a good amount of games, perhaps 2 of next three including CL?

      • Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thoughts on Vestergaard as a differential?

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          The guy's tall, I'll give you that. A good target for the JWP set pieces and whatnot. But histroically its Maya who's in the thick of the action in those set piece plays, not Jannik. Differential, yes. For his price, I'm not sure he's worth the investment. Obviously, with Ralph switchijg between several formations, Bednarek and Vestergaard are probably more nailed, but I'd personally prefer Yoshida as a diffy.

          1. Differential C (Mark)
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Valery as a raiding RWB is a good optipn too if declared fit.

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

            Thanks

            Didnt realised Yoshida has dropped to 4.1 😮

            If Valery is out, will there be formation change?

            Need a season end differential who can pop up with one or two goals 😀

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              With Cedric at Inter, Target might play at LB and Bertie at RB. Or Kayne Ramsey might get that RB spot, its diffuclt to say.
              I think its between the 5-3-2 or the 4-2-2-2. Ralph prefers the latter and has been trying to implement that into the side for a while. In either case, he need sthe full back to provide the attacking width.
              In the 532, the CB were Bednarek, Vestergaard and Maya. But with the 4222 vs BHA a few weeks ago, Bednarek partnered Maya in defence. I think Bednarek is 100% nailed, but Jannik was injured in that game, so not sure who the CB partner is in case both Jannik and Maya are fit.
              If you can afford it, Bertrand is your man imo. Great crossing skillz.

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

          would rather save the money and go for bednarek

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

            Money is not really issue at the moment, so paying extra for some attacking threat is what I'm looking at

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

              Ah yeah thats fair enough, Vestergaard would definitely get the blood flowing every time Southampton had a set piece haha!

      • Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What to do lads?

        Lloris
        TAA, Laporte, Valery
        Son, Eriksen, Jota, KDB, Mane
        Aguero, Jimenez

        Foster, Duffy, Dunk, Deeney*

        1 FT, 0.1 ITB

        Is it worth bench boosting? Or would it be more ideal in GW 36?

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

          I would wait until 36 move out Deeney and Duffy or Dunk for free and BOOST

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Dunk/Duffy have (NEW) though.

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

              In that case if you prefer their fixtures this week compared to that one you could just go Deeney -> Gray/Ings this week and boost

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Huh?

                I don't like Brighton fixtures for GW 35, but I do like brightons fixtures in GW 36.

                Surely bench boosting them this week makes no sense?

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

                  Then you have answered your question mate, save the BB for next week and just ship deeney

                  1. Puyol Pants Up
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    The problem is, KDB + TAA aren't nailed.

                    If they get don't play in 36 which is a few days before the UCL semi final (so it is very possible) then the bench boost would be a waste

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

                      I think if you are doing BB this week you need to obviously move deeney out as well as one of your brighton assets. I feel bad taking a hit before BB though. I guess you just have to weigh up if you are more worried about rotation in 36 or the players you have in 35

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

          Brighton can easily concede more than 2 goals against wolves and spurs

      • chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Those that are suggesting not to bench boost this week.....

        How are you thinking of having a better bench later in the season with 3 following gameweeks?

        At least this week you probably have 6-8 extra games being played rather than 3-4!

        And surely you don’t plan to get rid of your better players to improve your bench for later in the season!?

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Rather 1 home game against Newcastle with double Brighton than the 2 away in 35

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Would you not be playing Duffy vs Newcastle anyway though?

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

          Would have to take a hit to be happy with BB this week, so I will wait for 36 where I like the fixtures better and dont have dead players

        3. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          GW 36:

          Foster(WOL)/Lloris (WHU)
          Duffy(NEW) Dunk (NEW) TAA (HUD) Valery (BOU) Laporte (bur)

          Jota (wat) being my 5th mid:

          So: Foster (WOL), Duffy (NEW), Valery(BOU), Jota(wat) being the Bench boost

              Need to see what Europe does to your team along with tonight.
              A Brighton win changes things along with Spurs knocking City out.
              Really depends on how you want to spend the 2.5
              Kola saved for Europe along with Laca is a bit tricky too.

            Yes
            I got him for dgw Kiwi.
            That's why I'm curious.
            Also, Deeney RC means he'll be straight back into 11 & play @ top alongside Gray now.

        Foster / Ryan

        TAA - VVD - Luiz - Kola - Pereira

        Salah - Hazard - Son - Eriksen - Camarasa

        Wilson - Rondon - Barnes

        0.4m ITB, no FTs want to BB this week.

        Need to get Jimenez for Barnes, and ideally replace Camarasa, and raise money for both! So it would be-12

        A. Pereira + Camarasa to Bednarek + Neves, 0.2itb

        B. Pereira + Camarasa to Cathcart + Hobjberg 0.2itb

        C. Pereira + Camarasa to Boly + Hobjberg 0itb

        D. Pereira + Camarasa to Bednarek + Hobjbeg 0.7itb leaves enough to do Hazard to Sterling next week

        E. Eriksen + Camarasa to Moura + Jota 0.1itb

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

          Only Camarasa >> Hojbjerg ??
          you can also look @ Hughes (Watford winger 4.9m)

          1. Hktrader88

            • 5 Years

            Need to raise cash to afford Barnes to Jimenez

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

              Cool
              Of all options you've given, i like D.
              (Taking -8 for Bednarek & Hojbjerg is insane though)

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Alternative is Salah+Camarasa to Mane + Moura. That frees up enough for Barnes to Jimenez. And what have to take another hut next week to get money for Haz to Sterling.

      • b91jh

        Still worth using BB? 2.4itb could do dunk/duffy to Laporte

        Lloris
        Bednarek Doherty Robertson

        Gunn Duffy Dunk Deulofeu

        1. Amey

          Yes

                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Kind of like A. Risky to go w/o Jimenez though.

                  1. Manumana
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    I could do King to Jimenez also for -12 (im using BB) or just bring in Jimenez the following GW

      • De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hey guys I'm bringing in Jimi and either Fraser/Doucoure/Jota this week. Hold BB for now yeah? Thanks
        Current squad is:
        Pat
        Robbo TAA Kola/Duffy
        Mane Eriksen Son Sterling Tiele
        Wilson Vardy

        Guaita Barnes Dunk

      • F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Madness to do this for a -8?

        Doherty > Bednarek/Yoshida
        JWP > Mane
        Deeney > Llorente

        Would have Bednarek, Valery + Duffy so not exactly the best defence. But an incredible front 8. Mostly worried about Mane who both my ML rivals have.

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Understand the possibility of Mane running riot vs Cardiff, but transderring out a DGW player for a SGW player on a -8, idk, its a gamble too far imo.

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah you're probably right. Deeney RC is really annoying as I only brought him in 15 mins before the deadline too - originally had Rashford and now I might move back to him instead.

      • theodosios

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years

          Gunn and Foster.
          Patricio has okay fixtures too.

            Gunn is a good option. Tnx mate

        You would think there would be lots of C options in a dgw but no one looks standout to me. Thinking Jimenez right now but would be willing to take a hit to get a good option in.
        Who is your C this week?

        1. theodosios
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Jimenez TC

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            GL with that. Why not he is somewhat of an FPL legend now.

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

          Jimenez/Raz (if plays less minutes in CL)

        3. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Sonny for me. The rest vs HUD confirms it imo.

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

            Well that did not work out too well last week but yeah still considering it for this week but think Jimmy swings it on fixtures right now.

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

            Saw your comment on Ings earlier. I would like to get him but definitely not starting 2 so do t know if I lose Murray for him or not. What you think? There pretty safe so limited minutes for rest of the season. On the flip side they are hitting good form and really nice fixtures til the end of season.

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              If he can stay fit and gets minutes, then yes, he is a great pick. Just worried that Ralph would wamt to control his minutes, given his injury record.
              If he plays he will give you returns. But the question is whether he is risked.
              I'd say if you're willing to swallow the risks, then sure, go for it. Just make peace with whatever happens next.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks mate, liverpool defence are good in attacking and CS too, so it will be good triple in defence might get high points in Car and Hud game.

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

          I'm thinking about Raul Jimenez.

          Between Raz & Kun, i think both are capable of hauls. So whichever plays less minutes in CL can be a great candidate

          1. Chelsea91
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Jimenez , i scared he will not start both game,ageuro will start both match because both will be big game pep want to win it. We know ageuro is capable on the big game.

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

              Yep.
              Like the pool Defense triple up too
              I'm on Robbo Taa atm

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Why? Wolves only have PL 7th place to play for. I would expect Jimenez to be essential for the rest of the season

              1. Chelsea91
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                If Jimenez start all games will be good, but i will remove jimmy and Jota on GW38 because they playing pool , dun think they can score.

        3. KLOPPTOMANIA
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Think you’ll want a pool mid eg v HUD

          1. Chelsea91
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Agree on this but if you see TAA,Robbo and VVD can get you attacking return and CS too, i can predict more point there.
