City’s derby win and knife-edge title race is good news for FPL bosses

Manchester City went back to the top of the Premier League by beating their cross-city rivals on Wednesday evening.

City’s 11th league win in a row leaves them one point ahead of Liverpool, who are in action against Huddersfield Town on Friday night.

The hope for the legions of Fantasy managers who have representation from both clubs is surely that the title race goes to the wire, avoiding any “dead rubber” scenario and possible end-of-season rotation in Gameweek 38.

That looks increasingly likely after City’s two victories in Gameweek 35, with the matches against Spurs and United having been widely viewed as the biggest obstacles in their bid to defend their Premier League crown.

Given that they are in such good form, still have a title to play for and, unlike four of the “big six”, are now not competing in Europe, the Citizens’ players will likely be immovable in many Fantasy squads between now and the end of 2018/19.

We dissect last night’s Manchester derby in our Scout Notes article below.

Manchester United 0-2 Manchester City

  • Goals: Bernardo Silva (£7.6m), Leroy Sane (£9.3m)
  • Assists: Ilkay Gundogan (£5.5m), Raheem Sterling (£11.6m)

Three days after Liverpool secured a hard-earned 2-0 away win in South Wales, Manchester City did likewise at Old Trafford.

The two title rivals had to endure tense, goalless first halves in their respective victories but class ultimately told in both situations.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer summed up City’s latest win perfectly after full-time:

We got a reaction [from the defeat to Everton] and in the end, we were beaten by a better team.

But we got a reaction from the fans, from the players, we had a go. You can see the work-rate and everything was there, it just wasn’t good enough.

There is a difference in quality, definitely. That is why they are at the top of the league and we are where we are. They have set the standard.

City were ultimately just better than their hosts on Wednesday night but nerves would have been jangling until Bernardo Silva‘s (£7.6m) 53rd-minute opener.

Manchester United’s 3-5-2/5-3-2 line-up had suggested that they would set out to frustrate their cross-city rivals and that was indeed the case, with Solskjaer’s troops largely successful in containing City in the first half.

There was very little goalmouth action of note in the opening 45 minutes, with Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) coming the closest to breaking the deadlock when he tiptoed into the United box and fired straight at David de Gea (£5.7m) just before the break.

Chris Smalling (£5.6m) almost deflected another tame Sterling effort past his own goalkeeper before Bernardo stung de Gea’s hands with a fierce strike but City went into the interval with nothing to show for their dominance in possession.

The Red Devils had their moments, too, with Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) volleying an excellent Paul Pogba (£8.6m) pass narrowly wide before Ederson (£5.6m) had to rush out to deny Marcus Rashford (£7.4m).

The enforced 50th-minute substitution of arguably the game’s best player in the first half, Fernandinho (£5.3m), indirectly swung the game in City’s favour.

The Brazilian’s departure led to Bernardo moving from the right wing to the right of a central midfield three, with Ilkay Gundogan (£5.5m) shifting across to become the anchor.

Leroy Sane (£9.3m) was introduced on the left flank and all three of those players were involved in City’s two goals.

Gundogan’s pass was fired low past de Gea by Bernardo to put City 1-0 up and the United goalkeeper’s unconvincing form continued when he failed to stop Sane’s savable shot 12 minutes later – both goals beating de Gea at his near post.

Sterling grabbed a fine assist with a run and pass for Sane’s goal to emerge from Gameweek 35 with a consolation attacking return.

The England winger was not at his absolute best but it is a reflection of just how dangerous a Fantasy asset he can be that he still tested de Gea twice in the first half and would have had another excellent opportunity had he manage to control a dinked pass over the top from Fernandinho on 35 minutes.

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) was another premium City asset who was not operating at his usual stratospheric levels but who could easily have left Old Trafford with a goal to his name: the Argentinean striker whistled an effort wide just before half-time and later clipped the upright with a curling shot just after Bernardo’s opener.

We can’t learn much new about Sterling or Aguero from a tight game such as this, with not just local “bragging rights” on the line but a Premier League title too.

The hope now for Fantasy owners is that the pair’s professional, hard-working displays against “big six” opposition in Double Gameweek 35 can be rewarded with points hauls in what should be relatively more straightforward matches in the season run-in – although Burnley and Leicester have themselves been in decent form of late.

David Silva (£8.5m) blanked but produced a much-improved performance in midfield, registering more penalty box touches and key passes than anyone on show.

With Kevin De Bruyne (£9.7m) out and Gundogan and Fernandinho potentially sidelined as a result of the injuries they picked up in the derby, Silva’s place in the City starting XI could well be nailed for Gameweek 36 at least.

Guardiola said of City’s two new additions to the injury list:

In the half-time, there was a little problem in both [of Fernandinho’s] legs. Muscular, he was not comfortable. Gundo has a big kick in the first half. We’ll see tomorrow.

Bernardo scored only his second league goal of 2019 and drew praise from his manager afterwards:

Bernardo has had an incredible season, the second half he played like a holding midfielder. It’s not just today, all the season was a masterclass – a masterpiece, every single game.

He finished good last season and, this season, his pre-season was incredible. I said to the guys, I spoke with Leroy and the others, I cannot leave out Bernardo with his performances.

He’s one of the best players in Europe.

Pogba’s tenth-minute shot from distance turned out to be the only save that Ederson had to make as City banked their 18th clean sheet of the season – ten of which have come in the last 14 Gameweeks.

Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) recorded three bonus points to go with his shut-out, taking his total in the three Double Gameweeks to 53 points – over a third of his overall score in 2018/19.

Clear-cut chances were few and far between for United (as the below graphic shows), although Lingard ought to have done better in the second half when he failed to make meaningful contact with a Marcus Rashford (£7.4m) cross with the goal gaping.

Manchester United’s shot map v Manchester City (red = off-target, blue = on target or blocked)

Reflecting on United’s lack of goals from open play of late, Solksjaer said:

I’m not reflecting on the statistic but I’m reflecting that we don’t score goals or make efforts. We created chances today but didn’t take them. Of course, that’s something we need to improve on. It’s not a lack of effort but the quality, in the end, today wasn’t good enough.

Rashford’s only shot was a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque toe-punt from 35 yards out but he was praised by his manager after the game.

Solskjaer said:

Rashy had a terrific first half. He’s always threatening, he’s running in behind. That attitude of wanting to create something was great to see. Of course, they stopped him a few times. He was close today and Rashy will be important for us and he’s got the right attitude. We’ve just got to keep working on it.

Rashford, however, was critical of himself and his team-mates, saying:

Today we didn’t play like Manchester United. The bare minimum is to work hard and give all for the badge, the supporters, the club and yourself.

It has been a tough road to get to where we are, to get there and not be putting up the same performances as we were in January is disappointing.

We know what’s been going wrong, it’s mentality and willingness to run for your team.

We never call each other out but we have to be real with each other. It’s a matter of trying to improve each other.

Pogba may well have been one of the players that Rashford was referring to, with moments of class from the Frenchman (that aforementioned pass for Lingard) all too fleeting in a fairly ineffective display.

Playing against the champions-elect and having inferior players alongside him in midfield – Fred (£5.3m) and Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) this time – doesn’t help, of course, but other than favourable opposition in Gameweeks 37 and 38, there is little to further Pogba’s cause as a premium midfield option for the run-in.

De Gea’s decline in form has mirrored Pogba’s and United’s in general but Solksjaer backed his under-fire goalkeeper after full-time, saying:

I think David made some terrific saves today. It’s everyday work for everyone and David’s got high standards he’s set himself. He’s working really hard to improve, so when we are now having a time like this, we have just got to stick together, batten the hatches down and make sure we don’t do anything rash, anything stupid and keep working and stick together as a team.

Manchester United XI (5-3-2): De Gea; Young, Darmian (Sanchez 83′), Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw; Andreas Pereira (Lukaku 72′), Fred, Pogba; Lingard (Martial 83′), Rashford.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan (Danilo 89′), Fernandinho (Sane 51′), Silva; Bernardo Silva, Aguero (Gabriel Jesus 89′), Sterling.

    suggestions here,1ft and 1.2m.

    Foster (WOL) --- Patricio
    Duffy (NEW) • Laporte (bur) • Doherty (wat) -- Valery (BOU) Kola (lei)
    Sterling • Son • Eriksen • Pogba • Jwp
    Kun • Jimenez --- Gray (WAT)

    A: Save FT and find a big couch for the pool game. 2FT's could be useful next gw to bring in rashford, get rid of duffy
    B: Eriksen >> Mane...then captain either TC Mane or Kun (c) with Kun/Sterling TC in gw37
    C: Sterling + Kola >> Salah (TC) + 4.5m def (-4)
    D: Kola/Duffy >> TAA..seems a bit sideways as duffy has a good fixture

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Can you do Pogba > Mane?

    2. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I am doing B with similar team

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Kola/Duffy > TAA is not sideways at all. He’s almost guaranteed a cleanie and is one of the most attacking FB’s in the country.

      I’d do that or B) and put the TC on Mané

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

      I would get both.

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

        * reply fail for pep below

    DGW35 done. Looking ahead to GW36 and obviously now concerned that I don't have any Liverpool attackers and only 1FT (especially with the potential for others to be playing TC on Salah or Mane) .... so what do I do about it?

    A) Do nothing and don't worry about it. (Klopp will probably play a weakened team anyway with CL coming up, seriously any XI could beat Huddersfield)
    B) Do nothing and worry a lot about it a lot. (Spend Friday night hiding behind the sofa with my phone off so mates can't text me any 'banter' for not getting Reds players in)
    C) Do Lacazette to Firmino with my FT (and then worry about not having Mane or Salah)
    D) Do Eriksen to Mane with my FT (and then worry about not having Firmino or Salah)
    E) Do both for -4 (and then worry about not having Salah and if I'll get those 4 points back over 3 GW's)

      salah or mane has be be this week. both is lixury but 1 will do.

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

        So your saying D? (cos I can't get to Salah value)

    2. Belgrade1976
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tough call...C or D

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I’d go for E) personally. Many people don’t like hits, especially this late in the season.

      But getting in Mané captain and Bobby is worth it in my opinion

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

        This is what I was thinking of doing. Mane (c) makes sense to cover those with Mane (tc). Hopefully having Firmino as well would make no Salah less painful if Liverpool go on a goal rampage .. hopefully he and Mane would be involved enough to negate a one-man Salah show.

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

      C for me

    5. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Im currently on B with Sterling(C)

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

    Deulofeu & Aguero > Bilva & Firmino?

    Lloris
    Laporte - Trent - Duffy
    Salah C - Sterling - Son - Bilva - Jota
    Firmino - Wilson

    Foster - Jimenez - Doherty - Valery

    .6itb

    Does this look a backwards move?

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

      Doing the 'moonwalk' with those moves IMO

    Any advice on how to overcome 30 points lead of ml rival?

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

      don't know the calibre of your rival but don't panic! play your game & it all really comes down to C pick.

      it's doable!

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

      I’ve been trading 30 point plus turnarounds with my closest rival for the last 4 weeks.

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    What's going on with Joe and co ? No b club no scoutcast ..

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

      Joe fell ill I think couple of days ago?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Ok. Nothing serious I hope

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Check the Hot Topics

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Have a look at Hot Topics - unfortunately Joe seems to have a bleed on the brain so has to obviously take time off to focus on sorting it out. Really wish him well

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 9 Years

        We’re all wishing him well.
        Hope he bounces back quickly

  7. Wakanda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    any changes needed ?

    Ryan
    Arnold,Robertson/Boly
    Sterling, Son, Erikisen, Mane (TC)
    Murray/Jim/Wilson

    Foster/Valery/Duffy/Martial

    1FT 1.6m ITB
    Bench correct order too ?

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

      Duffy over Boly imo

    2. Wakanda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      that will be double brighton def
      will keep that in mind... probably wanna diversify my risk on the cleansheet

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

      Martial is a lot of £ to have tied up in 3rd choice sub. I'd transfer him for B Silva and bench Murray

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

        do you think murray will score this gameweek ?
        out of the next 3 , this week is probably their easiest week to gain some ground.... if they want to stay alive

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

          He has 18 blanks in the last 20 gameweeks, and Newcastle are pretty well organised at the back.

          No way I'd want him (or any Brighton attackers)

  8. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which 2 to start?
    A) Gray
    B) Jimenez
    C) Redmond

    1. Belgrade1976
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B and C

  9. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    TC either VVD or Robbo for a guaranteed 18 points? Leading my mini league by 13 points. Also have Salah

    1. azz007
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      an assist from robbo or vvd goal its likely

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

        Exactly, anything else is a bonus. If Robbo gets an assist he could get a 12 point haul meaning 36 points.

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

      Think I’m going Vvd this week - no Tc available. Seems a fair punt for double digits

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Maverick move. I like it.

      I’m still going to captain Mané though (would go Salah if I had him)

  10. diesel001

    Looks like those games against West Ham and Leicester have cost Liverpool the title.

    1. Fire Chief Moe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yup, don't deserve to win it when you throw away a 7 point lead.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        nonsense

          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          You're a liverpool fan as well. Only 1 game lost. We should finish over 90pts. We've been great.

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

            What are you talking about? So many draws. You should have won it. Early cup exit. No fixture congestion. Hard to get chance like this again.

    2. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      And 0-0 at everton sealed it.

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

        Yep. After drawing away to United, that was the absolute last lifeline and we messed it up.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Never underestimate West Ham's ability to be insanely unpredictable 🙂

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        West Ham and Crystal Palace IMO. Know how to cause a shock.

    4. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No single game has or will cost either side the title. They're both great teams and only 1 can be a winner. This whole modern outlet on the losers being bottlers etc. is hilarious. Both teams will finish on higher points tallies than Ferguson, Mourinho or Wenger.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Didn't say you were bottlers. Just that those two games will likely cost you the title.

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

      Fine margins when you have two teams so near to perfection. I reckon there is still a twist or two to come though.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This. Think it's just fashionable to nitpick teams who don't win.

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

          Because the team that didn't win made more mistakes.

  11. Belgrade1976
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I was sure as hell to bring in Firmino for Laca (Have Salah and Robbo), but now..
    First, i am slightly worried about Pool attacking trio,their minutes on the field..
    Second,TC option..I was so sure to use it on that game,but maybe save it for City game against Leicester, or GW38?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve got TAA & Mané, brought in Bobby for Vardy. Was an easy decision.

      Not sure why some people are worried about their minutes.

      Pool will be going all out for winning the League. They can’t afford any slip. So all 3 attackers will start.

      Possibly, just possibly, next week against Newcastle there might be a bit of rotation. And if they are spanking Hudd I’d expect one or two to come off early. But they’d hopefully have points in the bag by then?

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

        That's my reasoning too. City and Liverpool know they both have to win every game left this season. There's 5 days between Huddersfield and Barca and the scheduling has been kind up to this point. Newcastle is more of a concern but that might depend how the 1st leg in the Camp Nou finishes.

  12. stuzig

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mid / Fwd line currently:
    Salah - KDB - Eriksen - Son - (Hojbjerg)
    Kun - Jimi - Wilson

    1 FT and I need to get rid of KDB. Currently thinking of one of the following:

    A) KDB to B Silva
    B) KDB and Aguero to Sterling and Firmino (-4)
    C) KDB and Kiko Feminia (sub) to Mane and Peltier (sub) (-4)

    Any thoughts / suggestions? Thanks.

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

      B looks tempting. Don’t like C

  13. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which?

    A) dunk/valery/bednarek to dummett
    B) eriksen aguero -4 to salah rash
    C) eriksen wilson -4 to firmino redmond/jota
    D) dunk/valery/bednarek eriksen -4 to robbo/vvd/laporte jota/redmond

  14. chelseabrad
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Leno (Ryan)
    Robbo Trippier Duffy (Doherty Valery)
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota (Camarasa)
    Laca Jimenez Murray

    Took a massive risk last week and completely flopped, now chasing 30 points in my ML with no Pool attacking assets, what would you do?

    2 Free transfers & 1.4 in the bank.

    Looking at either Eriksen > Mane or Laca > Firmino, or both? Everyone in my ML has Mane and one has Laca so leaning towards the latter then get United in next week for their last 2 games vs HUD & CAR?

    Cheers!

    Hello guys. What would you do here?

    Foster
    Doherty, Dunk, Laporte
    Jota, Eriksen, Sterling, Son
    Jimenez, Aguero, Firmino

    subs: Ryan --- Dunk, JWP, Valery --- 1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    A) Eriksen -> Mane

    Captaincy this week is between;

    A. Aguero
    B. Sterling
    C. Son
    D. Mane

    Mane seems the most popular on here, is that due to rotation risk of the City two?

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

      D because they're playing Hudd

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

        Are Burnley that much better?

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

          Yes they definitely are

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

            You're probably right, thanks for the reply.

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

      Nope
      Hudds hunting 😉

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

        Any concerns for you over limited minutes in a game they should easily win.
        If Shaq started ahead of Mane would it be significant enough to cost Liverpool?

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

          Yeah
          Easily possible.
          But 1/2 attacking return's is more possibility 🙂

          1. HamezMace

            4 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks for the reply Ames.

    Hawaiian or pepperoni?

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

      Tandoori hot

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Don't you dare..... Anyone who says Hawaiian should be punished severely

    3. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pineapple on pizza should not have existed. They knew the dangers all the time.

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

      I concur, pineapple on pizza should be BANNED.

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

      I like a Hawaiian, but I have to be in the mood for it.

      Nothing beats a banana.

      On a pizza.

    7. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hawaiian BUT with no pineapple but a fillet of beef instead, delish.

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

      The king of pizzas however is a margarita with the meat from a donner kebab thrown on top.

    Thinking of saving this week so I have 2FT. Thoughts? 0m ITB. Thanks all.

    Lloris
    Laporte - Bertrand - Robbo
    Mane(C) - Son - Eriksen - Jota
    Aguero - Jimenez - Gray

    (Foster) - Duffy - Valery - KDB

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Team is v nice. Shame you don't have cash ITB or KDB to Sterling and benching Gray would be perfect.

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

        I know but I'm thinking to have those 2FT ready for 37.

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

      Looks good to hold, could go KDB>Bernardo Silva

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

        Tempting then I can bench Gray

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

          yep

  20. mike09

    Need to close a gap of 70p in the last 3 rounds with onlyTC left.

    Going to TC a differential this gameweek.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Greko82
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mane or Son for me

      1. mike09
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Rival has both.
        Need someone really differntial like Babel or Mitro.

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

          there's you're answer

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

      Vardy?

  21. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Shall I go triple up Brighton defence again against Newcastle or shall I start Lloris and Doherty in place of Dunk?
    Thanks

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

      The latter

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

    Are these moves worth a hit? -4 only

    Doherty, Eriksen, Vardy to VVD, Mané, Zaha

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

      Why not. Good luck if you do.

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

      I'd want to keep Vardy, Arsenal have conceded six in their last two games against Wolves, and Palace.

  23. finnish92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Gray to Benteke?

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

      Not fond of Benteke, you don't have enough for Zaha?

      1. finnish92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        No, then I need to make 2 transfers (-4), so probably not worth it....

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

      Not for me - Batshuayi perhaps?

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

        he has blanked in his last 4 games last 2 games didn't start

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

      Seriously?

      Palace attack at home is always a dodgy call anyway.

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

    Exciting question:
    a) Ward-Prowse (BOU)
    b) Fraser (sou)

  25. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think Llorente will start vs West Ham? With Ajax at home midweek in mind

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

      Yes

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

        Then bench one; Llorente, Jota, Jimenez

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Llorente haha

    2. Couch Potato
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota is the most likely to be rested IMO

  26. The Beer Baron
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    a) Eriksen, Doherty
    b) Mane, Duffy (-4)
    c) Moura, van Dijk (-4)

  27. The Usual Suspect
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Simple Question.
    Mitrovic or Zaha for remaining 3gws.

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

      Zaha

    2. Couch Potato
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mit for me

  28. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one;
    A) Jota
    B) Llorente
    C) Jimenez

  29. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I know this hits probaby are not worth but need Salah(tc) to protect lead in 2 cash mini leagues.

    A. Aguero, Jota ----- Salah, 4.6m( bench) -4
    B. Etiksen, Tripier, Jota---- Salah, 4.3, 3.9m (bench) -8

    Ryan, Gunn
    Taa, Tripier, Doherty, Yoshida, Valery
    Mane, Sterling, Son, Eriksen, Jota
    Aguero, Wilson, Jiminez

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

    A) Jota (wat) or Redmond (BOU)? Already playing Jimenez.

    B) Duffy (NEW) or Doherty (wat)?

    Thanks!
