Eriksen the star as Brighton defence nearly get job done

Spurs continued their impressive record at New White Hart Lane on Tuesday night with a dramatic 1-0 win over Brighton.

They laboured to the result which taught us plenty about their players’ credentials for the rest of the season.

The same can be said of Brighton who have responded well to recent calamitous results, potentially proving useful for at least one more Gameweek…

Spurs 1-0 Brighton

Goals: Christian Eriksen (£9.3m)

Assists: Dele Alli (£8.8m)

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) outperformed Son Heung-min (£8.8m) again in Double Gameweek 35 as he scored the winning strike for Spurs on Tuesday night. The Danish international has now been involved in five goals in as many Premier League outings, while his South Korean colleague has now three times in that run of matches.

If anyone was going to bust through Brighton’s determined defence, Eriksen looked the most likely for most of the game. His total of seven efforts on goal was by far the highest of any player on the pitch, although none of them was taken from inside the box. Top for that particularly statistic Dele Alli (£8.8m) but clear cut chances came at a premium, with no Spurs attacker achieving a higher expected goals score (xG) than 0.39.

Despite dominating possession, with a 78.2% share, and registering a huge total of 29 shots, Spurs were unable to fashion a single big chance in the game. Eriksen’s winning goal was such an incredible individual effort from range that it certainly did not count as a clear opportunity, such is the quality of the player himself.

“I think it’s about quality. He has an amazing quality, he can shoot from outside of the box and have unbelievable shots with his left and right foot. Of course, it’s about mentality too but in the end, if you don’t have the quality, then you can shoot ten times without the keeper for sure you’re not going to score but with Christian, he can shoot and score.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Mat Ryan and his Brighton defence played well and were disappointed to lose their clean sheet so late in the game

While the story of the game will be headlined with Eriksen’s brilliance, a key factor was the impressive defensive job conducted by Brighton. The Seagulls have responded to their disastrous defeats to Bournemouth and Cardiff with two measured and organised containment jobs. Brighton did a fantastic job of limiting the space for their illustrious hosts to operate in, hence how they shot so often but were lacking clear cut opportunities. It was a night where a finish from distance was going to be the only way through. Lewis Dunk (£4.4m) especially excelled at Spurs as he registered a huge Clearances, Blocks and Interceptions (CBI) score of 16. Meanwhile, for the second match in a row, Mat Ryan (£4.4m) made enough saves to earn an additional point. It was the first time he had done that in back-to-back fixtures since Gameweek 10.

“I thought the centre-halves were both excellent. I can’t fault their attitude for the game. We’re going through a difficult period and we needed a response from the lads and we got that. (Asked if the game plan worked): I think so. They, of course, had chances, they’re not gonna go through 90 minutes without having them, but when it comes to clear chances I thought they were minimal. I thought we defended really well. I genuinely felt we would hold out.” – Chris Hughton

Earlier this week we suggested that Brighton’s defensive display at Wolves could see their owners could look to start them against Newcastle. We saw very little at Spurs on Tuesday evening to put us off options such as Ryan, Dunk and Shane Duffy (£4.8m) for Gameweek 36.

Concerns that Brighton will play a more open game at home to the Magpies after sitting tight and compact away at Wolves and Spurs are understandable, but Chris Hughton appears quite aware of his side’s limitations at this point. After all, they are now 10.5 hours without a goal in all competitions. In both of their Double Gameweek 35 matches, they have found it hard to trouble their opponents but acknowledging that could be the key to their survival. Knowing how hard it will be to force attacking returns out of a goal-shy team, it is possible that Hughton may set up conservatively again when Newcastle come to the Amex Stadium.

“We’ve found it difficult to score goals. We’ve never been big goalscorers anyway. It’s harder to get up the pitch against them because you have to face waves and waves of quality players. It’s difficult because they press well.” – Chris Hughton

Brighton’s struggles offensively were good news for those who were invested in the Spurs defence. There were welcome returns for Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m), both of whom were absent for Saturday’s trip to Manchester City. The goalkeeper missed out with a minor injury, which he overcame in time to play Brighton, while Trippier was simply back in the side following a rest.

Brighton also rotated too, as Hughton continues to tweak his attack from game-to-game. Florin Andone (£5.0m) came in for Glenn Murray (£6.3m), which has become quite customary for away games in recent months, while Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) and Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) replaced Jose Izquierdo (£5.9m) and Solly March (£4.7m).

“Some of it was forced upon us, but most of it was about having that little bit of freshness. When you are on the back of a difficult game at Wolves with the quality that they’ve got, it can take a fair amount out of the team mentally and it was the same today. The changing room at the moment is a very down changing room because of the manner of the defeat.” – Chris Hughton

There was a surprise appearance from forgotten man Vincent Janssen

Finally, there was a collector’s item on Tuesday as forgotten man Vincent Janssen (£4.5m) made his first appearance in a Spurs shirt since August 2017. The striker came on for the last 10 minutes and did not look too out of place. Mauricio Pochettino was full of praise for him upon his return, clearly very pleased that he could call on him during a time of injuries for Spurs.

“I think I told you and no one can be surprised. In January when we decided to involve him again in the squad again, he was a player that had the same possibility as the others. Today with a lot of problems with a lot of offensive players like Harry Kane or Lamela I think we needed Vincent. In the last few months he was injured, he has recovered from injury. And now he is like from January, he is part of the team. We are going to decide if he is available, sometimes to use, sometimes to not like another player. I don’t know why it is going to surprise people, what I told you four or five months ago, that is the reality that happened today. I am not a liar, I am not a person that needs to lie to you or my fans. He is part of the team and I am going to decide whether to use or not. But today we needed him and he was on the bench like he was against Manchester City. But he cannot be on the list in the Champions League.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-3): Lloris; Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Trippier; Alli, Wanyama (Davies 82′), Eriksen; Son (Foyth 90′), Llorente, Moura (Janssen 80′).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-3-3): Ryan; Bernardo, Dunk, Duffy, Montoya; Bissouma (Kayal 86′), D Stephens, Groß; Locadia, Andone (Murray 64′), Jahanbakhsh (March 73′).

    Play 1:
    A) Duffy (NEW), Doherty (WAT), Valery (BOU)

    Play 1:
    B) Jota (WAT), Redmond (BOU)

    1. ritzyd

      Duffy - Redmond

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years

      Duffy and Jota

  2. Tmel
    • 13 Years

    Is it worth downgrading Son, Sterling or Kun to get Salah (TC) in?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

      Not for me.

      It’s been a while since Liverpool clattered anyone and they’ve recently played both Fulham and Cardiff. Mo is beginning to return but isn’t looking lethal.

      I’d put the TC on Sterling myself. If memory serves Burnley don’t cope well with top 6 and both Raz and Kun could go big.

      1. boc610

        Ben mee will have him on toast

    4. Rupert The Horse

      Yes

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

      I'll go without Salah before I lose any of those. Have all 3

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    In my crucial head to head this week I play AVERAGE. Do we expect this week’s average to be high with a lot of TC chips in play?

    Wondering whether to play my TC chip (Mane) or save it for Sterling/Kun next GW.

    This head to head is worth a lot of money and I am top right now on points only

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

      TC Mane looks good to me in 36

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

      Got to play it this weeks then if it’s essential you win this weeks head to head.

      Lots of dead teams will have Salah (c) too so make sure you’ve got Liverpool covered

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, although my slight preference was next perhaps. Team is this...

        Ryan
        Doherty. TAA. Laporte
        Mané(C). Son. Eriksen. Sterling
        Agüero. Jiménez. Gray

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

          Well if you can get through this week without using it and it’s ‘only’ vs AVERAGE that puts you in superb shape.

          Having a look, Salah overall EO (not top 10k) is likely to be 50% ish this week if not higher. So I’d he goes big it’s not impossible to lose to Average

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks mate. Yeah tough call. If I had Salah I would probably TC him haha 🙂

  4. Jack Burton

    TAA or Mane for my third liverpool spot cheers in advance

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

      Who are the other two?

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

        Robbo and Salah main ml rival has mane and I'm 60 points in front unsure whether to block him

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

          I’d 100% go Mane over TAA

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

            Yep, me too

            Cheers mate prob do that good luck

  5. ritzyd
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris (Foster)
    Laporte - TAA - Duffy (Doherty - Valery)
    Son - Eriksen - Mane - Fraser (JWP)
    Aguero - Lacazette - Jiminez

    Thinking:
    a) Lacazette & Doherty to Rashford & VVD (-4)
    b) Lacazette to Firmino
    c) Save FT

    Any thoughts appreciated!

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not A
      C or B
      Leaning towards C

  6. mad_beer ✅
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Ryan
    Laporte, Duffy, Trippier
    Sterling, Eriksen, Son, Deulofeu
    Kun, Jimenez, Rashford

    Gunn, Jonny, Højbjerg, Valery

    I am .1 short of Rashford to Firmino.

    Should I take a hit to get him or go another way such as Vardy?

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

      Maybe Eriksen to Mane? Rashford has great fixtures in 37/38

      1. mad_beer ✅

      Need a similar performance from Man U on Sunday 😉

      I hope he has a mare and rashford runs riot

  8. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Play double Brighton defence or change one for Valery?

    1. Patrick Bateman
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery hasn't started the last 2, in fact he came of the bench for a nasty 1 pointer so I would play double Brighton defence if it comes to your only option

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Brighton could be ok against Newcastle

    3. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If it helps.NEW are yet to score a goal against BHA in a PL game.

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Laca points prediction for today?

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

      Hopefully 15! Realistically maybe 5 or 6?

      1. Patrick Bateman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Depends whether Wolves keep up their form against the 'Top 6'. I reckon Laca will get at least an assist so 5+

  10. Patrick Bateman
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is Sterling > Salah (TC) for free silly even though I have Kun cover? Cheers!

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

      I'm trying my best to get both in and yet you want to get rid of Sterling!

      1. Patrick Bateman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It's silly, but it doesn't feel right to get in a 3rd Liv player in defence when they're about to play Hudds. Perhaps overthinking it

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

      Not silly but I’d prefer to be on Raz myself.

      It depends really how you view the TC chip.

    How did trippier get 3 bonus he was absolute dog ****????

    1. Amey

      # passes completed i guess.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years

      Key passes. Bonus system loves Tripps even if he doesn't play much.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 7 Years

        play well*

  12. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    brighton back to their resilient self

    i'm half tempted to keep and play duffy.. even though I can do duffy > trent

    what are your thoughts on that?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Thats a no brainer - unless you can do something better with the 3rd Liv slot

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They were lucky not to concede more against wolves and spurs

    3. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would take TAA home to Hudds over Brighton vs newc every single time

    4. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They will surely concede against New Castle since they will want to win that match not to get relegated

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

      I'm in the same dilemma whether to get another pool defender along with Salah and TAA but rotation with pool may be a factor and playing Duffy against Newcastle at home gives as much a chance of gaining good points. So, I'm playing Duffy and saving the transfer to gw27.

  13. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any changes needed for 36?

    Lloris
    Laporte - Trent - Doherty
    Salah C - Sterling - Son - Deulofeu - Jota
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Foster - Wilson - Duffy - Valery

    .2 itb

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

      I would play Duffy over Doherty and Wilson over Jota as don't fancy Wolves at all against Watford.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Jota was brutally unlucky in the last game. Biggest underachiever of XG and looked dangerous. I’d find it hard to bench him !

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      would maybe play Duff over Doh...but looks okay, no transfers needed

    3. THEKID_88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Play Duffy instead of Doherty

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers 🙂

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

    I’m gonna stick with just two Pool players and think I’ll either roll or get a Newcastle defender. To me makes the most sense as don’t wanna take a hit.

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

      I’m sure you could get Firmino for free

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Well I could if I sold Aguero.

        But I don’t wanna sell Kun, and Pool rotation and Firmino goalscoring record vs “lesser” teams puts me off further.

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

          Indeed.

          If I take a hit to get a 3rd Liverpool it would only be for Salah but the cost is heavy (Eriksen, Aguero -> Salah, Rashford -4)

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This is my dilemma too, really tempted to bring in a second pool defender but needs a -4 and not sure it will repay itself in only three GW's

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I don’t think it will and rotation could bite.

        Newcastle seem excellent value for this week. Brighton are toothless

        Only worry ? Duffy will prob score and would be benched as a result of me getting the Toon defender 😀

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

        Hmmmmm

        You’ve got me thinking now. I have Cathcart Duffy and Valery.

        Thing is that Pool defence get so many bps and assists. Still think I’ll take the hit for Robbo (would prefer TAA but think he’ll rotate).

  15. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Does this scream madness?

    For -4:
    KDB + Vardy + Dunk -> Sterling + DCL + VVD

    Going to play DCL for gw 37, he looks like a magic bean recently.

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

      Looks pretty good to me that

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

        really! I thought it's crazy to bring in DCL, yet I feel like it's a season-ending punt

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

      I'm debating similar, Salah, TAA and DCL in for Vardy, Eriksen and Duffy.

      It's a difficult one...

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

        you're also considering DCL?! 😀

        I wish I could bring in Salah actually. I could do KDB + Vardy -> Salah + DCL for free.

        That would mean I'd be stuck with 2 BHA defenders for the run-in and no Sterling.

  16. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years

    Lloris
    Laporte TAA Doherty
    Sterling Mane c Eriksen Son
    Aguero Jimenez Gray
    (Foster Redmond Yoshida Dunk)

    A) Save
    B) Eriksen and Gray to Moura/Deloufeu and Firmino (-4)
    C) something else 1 ft 1.0 itb

            • 6 Years

            Why give him highest scoring defender as a differential

              4 pts seperating them lol

  17. All For One
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    VVD or Roberston?

    Rival has Robertson I have a 16 pts lead

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I’d prefer VVD due to naildness.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm thinking he could score a few headers on set pieces aswell

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          For sure. Great option if you can get for free

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeh just can't decide if I should play it safe and get robbo as cover or risk it with VVD

    We really need a hot topic on ‘Liverpool vs Huddersfield’ / the ‘big 6’ of:
    Salah, Mane, Aguero, Sterling, Son, Eriksen

    Key questions

    1. Liverpool - rotation risks this week?
    2. Is 3 Liverpool essential (and if so 2 x Def, 1 x Atk or 1 x Def, 2 x Atk)
    3. Is Salah essential (even if it means losing Aguero & Eriksen & -4)
    4. Are Man City players just as good captain options this week as Liverpool
    5. Which of the ‘big 6’ are essential

    Surely these must be questions that 90%+ of the community would want to discuss / form a view on.

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Apparently these aren’t things worth discussing........

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        😛
        Things worth discussing are who are Real United fans & who aren't according to some "neutrals" here 😀

    2. MTPockets
        4 years, 11 months ago

        1. Everyone I guess, it's Huddersfield
        2. A good idea but not essential, at least not for me as needs hits
        3. Not for me. Mane has much higher ownership in top 10k so that bothers me more
        4. Doubt it but wouldn't be surprised if highest scoring Mci option trumps highest scoring Liv
        5. Don't know

        1. I don’t think so. Klopp needs to win every single game so he can’t really afford to rest key players at this stage IMO.
        2. I think having three Liverpool players for the Hudds game is pretty important. That could be a massacre. I will have two attackers and one defender.
        3. This is debatable. I’m worried he’ll go hulk mode and smash it. He’s overdue a massive haul. It’s for this reason I’m debating a hit to get him in this week.
        4. Yes IMO
        5. I don’t think any are essential but I would suggest the best combo (because you can’t obviously have them all) is Son, Salah, Mane and Sterling. I currently have Son, Eriksen, Sterling, Aguero and Mane.

          Thanks for replying - you are basically me! Our position / thoughts are very similar on this

      What will the reaction be in old Trafford if united score? Deafening silence?

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

        Nice try.

        The guys who go to the game are the real supporters and will cheer - they know what a Derby means unlike the fake glory hunters.

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Your underestimating the blind hatred...There was a random selection of sesson ticket holders interviewed in the guardian and none of them want united to win.

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Incorrect. I read it. None of them want Liverpool to win the league and neither do I... but I'll be there tonight wanting United to win and getting right behind them. We can only look after ourselves and we need a point or three. If Liverpool benefit, so be it - the league is won over 38 games, not 1.

      My bench boost of Ryan Gray Duffy and Bednarek returned 33 points, very pleased with that outcome

    5. ColdRainyNIght
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Does anyone know the reason why Patrick Van Anholt was benched?
      Is Roy going to give Ward a go till the end of the season?

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

        He hasn’t been great for a while. I was slightly surprised he got the DGW matches as he was dropped for the cup match.

        The only oddity is that this has happened when Schlupp is out. Ward and AWB could well be in for the remaining games.

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

          interesting, I was seriously considering him over TAA. Now need to get to Crystal Palace forum for advice haha

    6. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I want 20 minimum from Doherty, Jota, Jimenez(c), Sterling and Kun

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

        I want 90 minutes each from the same players. Probably won't get them though

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

        Same 5 for me, Raz © though.

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

        Identical five for me but Sterling (c)

        1. Amey

        Have the same as you plus LaPorte - I'm hoping for 22 from my 6 as a minimum, would take me to 100 points for the week which was my minimum target.... been another disappointing double gameweek so far.

      5. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        20 is very conservative - I'd say 30 would be about average.

      6. caldracula
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Easy

    7. Stryder05
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      80 pts ahead in my ML, I'm thinking KDB + Tielemans to Sterling + Deulofeu for a -4 will round off the rest of the season for me?

      Fraser, Ryan
      VVD, TAA, Valery, Duffy, Doherty
      Son, Salah, Brooks, KDB, Tielemans
      Aguero, Wilson, Jiminez

    8. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      For GW36 which options?

      Choose 1 to play:
      A) Yoshida
      B) Valery
      C) Duffy

      Choose 2 to play:
      1) Lukaku
      2) Deulofeu
      3) Jota

      Thanks

    9. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years

      Is Eriksen to Mane a bit sideways?

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

        I would wanna keep Eriksen, he is really good right now

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Agreed

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

        For free, I would. I'm gonna do the same transfer after the games tonight.

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Tempted. Just a bit concerned it doesn't gain much.

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

            I'm taking the risk. Mane has a better chance of outscoring Eriksen this week for sure.

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

      Doing KDB to Salah for free and triple captaining Salah.

      Should I also do one of Sterling, Son, or Eriksen to Mane for -4 as my main rival (11 points behind me) will have both Mane and Salah, or enough triple captaining Salah?

      Attacking 8 are:
      Sterling, KDB, Son, Eriksen, Højbjerg
      Aguero, Jimenez, Ings

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        only KDB > Salah for me

    11. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Better move this week?

      a. kdb > mane for free and mane tc.
      b. kdb martial > salah camarasa -4 and salah tc.

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

        Will you play Camarasa ??
        If yes then A

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

          Nope, bench fodder. Basically tc Mane or Mo?

    12. simong1
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Play Duffy (NEW) or Doherty (wat)?

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Duffy

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

        Duffy as Almiron is out

    13. ColdRainyNIght
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Is there a reason to triple captain Hazard in gw37 over triple captaining Salah in GW36?
      I was debating on the thread, one member brought up the fact that Salah's last double digit haul was a very long time ago. It makes me worried that I am going to waste my triple captain.
      Ideally, we want a double digits. Hazard at home has been great and usually hauls

      1. MTPockets
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Liv vs Hud is a much more appealing fixture than Che vs Wat

        Dang it! So close with that triple Brighton defence!!!!
