Spurs’ key midfield FPL assets avoid rotation but blank in West Ham loss

Yet another Champions League-chasing side slipped up in the race for a top-four place as Tottenham Hotspur slumped to a 1-0 home defeat to West Ham United on Saturday lunchtime.

The Lilywhites’ four most-owned midfielders – Son Heung-min, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Christian Eriksen – all started in north London as the much-feared wholesale rotation failed to materialise but there were blanks all round for Spurs’ Fantasy assets.

It’ll be little consolation for FPL managers who own the likes of Son and Eriksen but West Ham’s win could be beneficial to the Fantasy community in the season run-in, with Spurs, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea potentially all still in contention for – or needing results to secure – a Champions League spot (and therefore naming strong sides) in Gameweek 38.

That eventuality will also depend on results tomorrow and in Gameweek 37, of course, and three of those four clubs (including Spurs) have European semi-finals to contest over the next fortnight.

We analyse the Saturday lunchtime game from a Fantasy perspective in the Scout Notes article below.

Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 West Ham United

  • Goal: Michail Antonio (£6.8m)
  • Assist: Marko Arnautovic (£6.7m)

Mauricio Pochettino said “stress and fatigue” were mitigating factors after his Spurs side fell to their first defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After Saturday’s match, Pochettino was asked if his team had one eye on the UEFA Champions League tie against Ajax on Tuesday but said:

I don’t believe, I think we cannot say now we were thinking about Tuesday. When the stress and fatigue arrived, that is our reality. We are a very competitive team when we are with full energy, when we are so focused.

The stress and the fatigue arrived, we are competing with circumstances that are not the best. Nothing to say, the effort is there and is fantastic, but I’m disappointed with the result because that result wasn’t in our plan, but you need to accept – that is football.

It is difficult to see that tiredness alleviating in Gameweek 37, with Spurs’ trip to Bournemouth falling right in the middle of their double-header against Ajax.

Fatigue certainly appeared to play a part as a leggy-looking Spurs struggled to break down an admittedly excellent West Ham backline, who registered only their second away clean sheet of the season.

Pochettino had initially lined his side up in a 4-4-2 diamond, with anchor Eric Dier (£4.7m) and “number ten” Dele Alli (£8.8m) at the tips of that midfield four.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and “out of position” FPL defender Danny Rose (£5.8m) were deployed in central midfield in between those two players, with Eriksen’s deep role limiting his influence on the game.

The Dane still managed to register five touches in the West Ham box but he was often lagging well behind Spurs’ attacks and occasionally wayward with his distribution, registering only one key pass all game.

Eriksen’s only serious chance came after a rare mistake from the otherwise superb Issa Diop (£4.2m) but Lukasz Fabianski (£4.7m) stood up well to deny the Denmark international.

Alli was another who failed to impress and didn’t trouble the West Ham goalkeeper once despite his more advanced role but did create more opportunities than anyone on show, including an early “big chance” for Son Heung-min (£8.9m).

The South Korean was initially paired up front with Lucas Moura (£6.8m) before later moving to a wide-right position in a 4-2-3-1 and was as bright as any Spurs player early on, registering four shots in the first half alone.

Son should perhaps have done better with that aforementioned big chance and his impact waned considerably after the break, especially after being shunted out to the right flank.

Lucas had only one low fizzing shot to show for his efforts before being replaced midway through the second half and the fact that substitute Vincent Janssen (£4.5m) had Spurs’ best opportunity of the final 45 minutes summed up the contributions of his weary team-mates after the interval.

The Dutch striker, on as a 77th-minute substitute, nodded a Juan Foyth (£5.0m) cross goalward in stoppage time but saw Fabian Balbuena (£4.2m) hack the ball off the line.

Pochettino admitted that his side had disappointed after the break, saying:

I think first half was good for us. Second half they were better. I think they showed more energy than us in the second half.

We conceded a lot of space to run to players like Arnautovic and Antonio who can create problems for us when you concede that space, because we didn’t find a way to manage the ball properly and I think we lost a lot of balls, unforced, and we gave them the possibility to make their game.

West Ham’s improved recent performances continued in north London as they remained steady at the back throughout and showed plenty of attacking ambition in the second half.

In defence, Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m) was solid at right-back but the colossal Diop was arguably the man of the match, deservedly picking up three bonus points after making 17 clearances, blocks and interceptions (CBIs) – more than any other defender in Gameweek 36 so far.

Diop almost capped off his display with a goal but could only produce a tame shot after slaloming his way through the Spurs defence.

Mark Noble (£4.8m) and Declan Rice (£4.5m) formed an effective shield in front of the back four, too, giving the Hammers’ attackers the platform to express themselves in the second half.

The fact that lone striker Marko Arnautovic (£6.7m) only had seven touches in the first half said a great deal about how anonymous he was before the break but the Austrian sprang into life after half-time, twice curling efforts at Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) and seeing another shot deflected over.

Arnautovic also produced a fine assist for West Ham’s winning goal, which was lashed in by the lively Michail Antonio (£6.9m).

Speaking of the Austrian striker, Pellegrini said:

Arnautovic was very good. He made a brilliant pass for Antonio’s goal. It has been a difficult season but I am sure that we will recover the player that he could be.

Asked if the former Stoke player had an injury problem upon his withdrawal, the Hammers’ boss replied:

I think he just felt a little problem in his muscle but nothing serious.

Antonio, playing on the right in Manuel Pellegrini’s 4-1-4-1, had more penalty box touches and efforts on goal than any of his team-mates and ought to have doubled his side’s lead late on when outmuscling Ben Davies (£5.6m) and firing straight at Lloris from the edge of the six-yard box.

Felipe Anderson‘s (£6.9m) improved recent displays continued and the Brazilian now sits in the top ten among midfielders for shots in the box, overall attempts, penalty box touches and efforts on target in the last four Gameweeks.

This was another creditable performance from the Hammers against a “big six” side, with Pellegrini’s troops now having only conceded six goals in their last six meetings with those half-dozen teams.

Speaking of their record against the bigger clubs, Pellegrini said:

If you review our games against the big six, Arsenal we played well in both, Manchester United also. Against Chelsea most part of the second half of the second game, at home we played well.

Against Tottenham we lost 1-0 at home but also a very tight game, today we won. We demonstrate that we are able to play as a big team and they must demonstrate that they are better.

While Spurs’ midfield assets avoided rotation, Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) and Jan Vertonghen (£5.6m) were two high-profile names to make way from the home defence.

Trippier was among the substitutes but Vertonghen wasn’t risked because of “fatigue“.

When asked if his any of his sidelined players would be available for the Ajax game, Pochettino said:

Vertonghen, for sure. Sissoko, I don’t know. We need to assess tomorrow. I think Harry Winks, no.

Pochettino was later asked if Harry Kane (£12.6m) could return before the end of the season and replied:

We will see what happens. If you said to me he is going to be available for the second leg in Ajax or the last game against Everton, I don’t know. For sure, it is going to be difficult.

If we are capable to beat Ajax and be in the final on June 1, then maybe yes. Yesterday we were talking about that, we’ll see.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-1-2): Lloris; Foyth, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Eriksen, Dier, Rose (Janssen 77′); Alli (Wanyama 85′); Lucas Moura (Llorente 66′), Son.

West Ham United XI (4-1-4-1): Fabianski; Fredericks, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku; Rice; Antonio, Noble (Ogbonna 85′), Snodgrass (Obiang 77′), Anderson; Arnautovic (Perez 80′).

    Mane or Son to Haz?

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

      Not Mane definitely

    2. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Son

    3. thegaffer82

      Son.

      Not even close really.

    4. Cojones of Destiny

      son

    5. El-Kloppico

      Manè's son.

    6. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Son

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

    Which transfer to made?
    A) Firmino to Auba
    B) Firmino and Gray to Rash and Laca for -4
    C) Firmino and Gray to Rash and Zaha for -4

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

      Just do A) with Rash?

      I wouldn’t buy Auba. He’s been in and out of the team for an extended period now. It seems like Laca is first choice, but I wouldn’t even rely on him either.

      Best to steer well clear. Emery is a maniac.

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

      your belief in Arsenal is quite risky imho.

      If Cardiff win on Sat, Brighton could park a gigantic bus on Sunday. On the other hand, Brighton could park a seagull in goal if Cardiff loses.

      High risk-reward.

  3. thegaffer82

    ................Foster
    ....TAA - Trippier - Doherty
    Son - Mané - Sterling - Erik
    ....Wilson - Firmino - Jimi
    Ryan=== Deulo - Valery - Yoshy
    0.1 ITB & 1FT

    I just clocked that I can afford to do Erik & Firmino > Hazard & Rashford.

    It’s for a -4 though unfortunately.

    Think they’re looking like tasty transfers? Yay or nay

    1. Amey

      Like those moves.
      Hazard is a great differential © option this gw.

          4 years, 11 months ago

          69 with kun Raz to go.
          Jota 12 points on 1st bench (bloody Deulofeu, i played him 😀 )

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

      Observe ManU's today's match. If they return to a bit of form, off course, Rashford is appealing. But you can't ignore Aguero at the last match in front of his own fans

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

        You also smell a hattrick then 😉

    How would you get Hazard in this team ??
    1 FT 2.2m itb
    Lloris
    Robbo Taa Doherty
    Raz Mane Son Jota
    Kun Jimenez Zaha

    Foster Deulofeu Yoshida Valery

    Thinking about Mane to Hazard FT.

    Thank you !!!

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

      Mane -> Hazard

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

        Cheers mate.
        On exactly same atm

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      son -> haz

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

        Thank you.
        I'm on exact money to do this.
        But would not be able to get a replacement for Jimenez/Jota in 38 if i do that.

        Would you still do it ??
        Also Son may fall so it'd possibly be a early transfer.

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

          Redmond in 38

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

            Now that's inspiring advice 🙂
            Jota/Deulofeu to Redmond is easy FT.
            Thank you Pingi !!

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

      Don’t sell Mané.

      Can’t you just do Son > Haz with 2.2 ITB?

      Seems the obvious one to me anyway

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

        Exact money.
        Thank you 🙂
        Possibly an early transfer as Son may fall in price

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

          Do it. You only live once.

          And just cross the ‘what to do with Jota/Jimi’ bridge when u come to it

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years

      Yep, that or Deu and Son to cheapo and Hazard for -4pts if you want to keep Mane

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

        Thank you Holmes 🙂
        Who would you sell ??
        Mane or Son ??

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

          Mane since I feel both Liverpool games will be low scoring and chances of haul is low

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

            Yeah
            Same thinking.

    1FT 2.1 ITB any ideas what transfers to make?
    Abit stuck. Thanks!

    Lloris - Foster
    Dunk - Robertson - Doherty - Bednarek - Valery
    BSilva - Mane - Eriksen - Son - Jota
    Jimenez - Aguero - Wilson.

    1. Jimi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Son out.

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

      Surely Eriksen out as Son is suspended for CL?

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

        This

    3. LordEllison

      Was.thinking eriksen 0.3 short for sterling how about for hazard?

      1. TRE2
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I would do that

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

    Ederson
    Van Dijk, Peltier, Shaw
    Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Son, Jota
    Jimenez, Mitrovic

    Barring injuries/suspension, save FT? Have reduced the gap from 30 to 19pts this week but he has Kun and Vardy left. Chase will probably go till last week. 😮

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

      You've enjoyed the late WC. That's a completely different team to what are here.
      Like It.
      Easy Save to me

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

        Thanks. But everybody got a decent score, so WC wasnt much of any use 😀

        Just have to use TC properly now and take the lead back asap...

        1. Amey

    Morning dzz, best way forward here. 1.2m

    Patricio — foster
    Doherty Laporte Kola - Valery Duffy
    Son Sterling Mane Pogba Jwp
    Kun Jiménez— Gray

    A) Jwp + Gray >> Elliot + Rashford (-4)
    - Jiménez > Mitro in gw38
    - Leaves a poor bench (Doherty (liv), Duffy (city), Elliot) for gw38 if rotation happens

    B) Save FT and start JWP in gw37
    - Then aim to do Doherty + Jimenez >> Lindelof + Rashford in 38

    C) Something else

  9. rjcv177

    Go big or go home 😉
    Knocking on 10k and going -8

    Cathcart, mane and vardy
    To
    Shaw, sterling, rashford

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

      Mental I’d say. Obviously I can see the appeal of Sterling & Rash.

      But Mané is on fire, and effectively has a 4 point headstart on Raz. Vardy does well against top 6 teams & Rash hasn’t scored for over a month. Also Utd haven’t kept a cleanie since GW27, so not sold on Shaw either.

      But good luck anyway!

    2. Jimi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t do it. Losing 8 points is not worth it. Your rank will plummet.

    Morning all, looking to ship Eriksen and Llorente which moves would you do?

    Cheers

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

    Lloris
    TAA,Doherty,Valery
    Salah,Mane,Son,Jota

    Foster,Redmond,Yoshida,Duffy 0.3m itb. 1FT

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

      I'd do 2

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

      Like both. 1 if leading, 2 if chasing IMO

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

      What about Salah Son > Raz Hazard ?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        0.3m short.
        A third transfer for -8 would have to be made. That could be a little much .

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

          😮
          My bad.

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

      Why would you sell Salah now? He’s finally found something near the form he was in last season.

      2) by a country mile for me

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeh that’s why I put option 2 out there.
        KDB > Mane this GW then Salah > Sterling was always my plan but I’m having second thoughts about shipping the Egyptian now.

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

          Last 5:

          Salah 4 goals, 4 assists, 44 points
          Mane 3 goals, 0 assists, 28 points

          Feels like Salah edges it a bit with recent stable form, and Salah’s stats over the season better away

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

        Simply put, isn't Sterling's upside higher at home to LEI, fully rested, than Salah. Home vs Away. No champions league etc (See Maximus below)

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah > Sterling

      Rafa’s teams rarely get their pants pulled down, and the barca away game finishes less than 72 hours before newcastle away’s kickoff... Liverpool have to get back from spain, get home, train, get up to newcastle and play a horrible defensive team in quite a congested timframe... I could see 1-0, 1-1 or maybe 2-1 liverpool... but can't see them scoring 3 to be honest

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeh Newcastle look ok now.

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

      Salah Son > Sterling Hazard -4?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Just short.

  12. radawson

    Went Sterling to Salah TC this week paid off, now looking at the following after midweek games....Thoughts?

    Lloris
    TAA Doherty Valery
    Salah Mane Eriksen Son
    Aguero Wilson Jimenez

    Foster Redmond Bednarek Dunk

    A) Salah + Eriksen > Sterling + Hazard (-4)

    B) Salah > Sterling

    C) Eriksen > Pogba

    Leaning towards A at the moment

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

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

      I have exact money for Salah/Son > Sterling/Hazard so similar to A.

      Not saying I'm doing it but...

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

      Honestly, as you have Mane, I think B might be the move

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

      a

    5. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A looks good.

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

      A is awesome

      Thanks all

  13. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I'll do Vardy->Rashford to have an attacker who plays Huddersfield next gw.
    Will also sell Eriksen & Son.
    The one I'll bring in is Hazard.
    The 2nd spot is between Siggy (BUR) & Pogba (hud).

    Which one would you choose?

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

      If United look interesting, double them with Pog.

  14. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    5 game weeks ago I was trailing my ML leader by 110 points.
    Due to different chip strategies I pulled it back a 29 point deficit going into this week.

    This morning I’m now 17 points in the lead!
    Of course he has Luiz,Bilva,Sterling,Aguero(c) and Rashford left to my Lacazette,Aguero.

    So fully expect to be overtaken again but it just shows that anything can happen. My transfer plans have hinged on getting differential players in to catch. The question now is , do I start to match his players now? Eg. Sterling

    Never, ever ever give up. Even when everything seems lost.

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

      Well Done !!

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Well done - and good luck for the last two weeks. He'll be sweating! 🙂

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks.
        Yeh, he thought he had it in the bag.
        He still might but certainly squeaky bum time for him.

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

      Yeah it’s amazing where 100 points can go or come from. Good stuff

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

      It sounds like a great journey. The last two gameweeks will be really exciting.

    1. Vardy -> Rashford.

    Morning all

    Save FT this week to have 2FT to bring in new blood for final GW or get in Haz or a Utd attack?

    0.4itb
    Lloris
    Robbo, Laporte, Doherty
    Salah, Son, Jota, Mili
    Kun, Firmino, Jimi
    (Foster) (JWP, Valery, Yoshida)

    Cheers

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

      see how Man Utd does today, Firmino>Rashford

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

        Do you not think he’s worth holding though? Likely to be ok and will still be all guns blazing for ‘Pool til the end. Only just got him in this GW lol

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

          Lol I think double Liverpool is enough, those fixtures for Man Utd are too tempting, will see after today's game. With Firmino he has looked good but frustrating to own. A bit of a hit and miss his points come when you least expect it

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

            Prob true. He was my differential this week lol

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

      Morning 🙂
      Get hazard this gw if possible.

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

        Hey mate. Do we really think the troll is going to be so good?

        If I dump Son for him then I’ll have to take a hit elsewhere and get left with no Spurs attack (maybe not terrible)

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

          Could well be Hazard’s last game at Stamford Bridge so he’ll be motivated to do well. If it didn’t mean losing a big hitter with a good fixture I’d be getting him in this week.

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

            Would you count Son as dispensable?

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

              Yes but it would require a 4 point hit which at this stage of the season could hurt.

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

                Yep I really don’t want to be taking hits. May have to forget him and get Rash for Bobby

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

          It's going to be his last game @ Stamford bridge bro (RM Calling)
          I'm confident on him
          Definitely getting him this gw myself too. Look up.
          Either for Mane/Son

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

            Yeh but I’d need to take a hit!

            Could do Son, Bobby > Haz, Rash (-4)

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              I’m considering Son,Lacazette > Rashford,Hazard.
              Similar moves

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

                Also for a hit?

                1. The 12th Man
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Yes

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Son,Firmino > Hazard/Sterling,Rashford-4
      Or
      Salah,Son > Hazard,Sterling-4 maybe.

      Or save if your happy.

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

        Hey mate. Thanks. Well done for the nice green arrows. Feels good doesn’t it!

        Feels a bit wrong dumping Bobby when I literally just got him this week! Do you think Son is so easily dispensable?

        Def not the second option as Salah’s going nowhere!

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

          Don't bring the team love in FPL bro !!!

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years

        2. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yeh certainly feeling better about Fantasy Football than I was 6 weeks ago. Things can change so fast.
          If you like Bobby and Son then I’d keep. They can still do a job.
          Think Hazard could go out with a bang the final 2 weeks. See how he does today.

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

            Totally. 6 GWs ago I was at 126k. Currently at 41k!

            Will watch Haz and Rash today then decide!

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Well done. Hopefully in for a good finish.
              GW 30 = 236k
              Now = 74k.
              My target was 100k then. So achievable now.

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

                Yep more than achievable! Chips can really make all the difference!

  19. All For One

    Doherty VVD Bednarek
    Salah Richarlison Son Mane
    Rondon Wilson Jimenez

    Gunn Babel Cathcart Dunk

    4.4m ITB & 1 FT

    Which one would you do next week? 0.1 off doing C & D for -4 🙁
    A Rondon > Lacazette
    B Wilson > Aubamayang
    C Son > Sterling
    D Rondon > Rashford

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C+D.
      I'd avoid ARS due to bad form, midweek games and rotation.

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Miss out by 0.1

      Easily C

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

    Thoughts on Pogba Rashford Hazard in for Salah King Son for -8?

    I still have Mane for Pool cover

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Similar transfer plan for me.
      Would you bring Siggy instead of Pogba?

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

        Not keen on Everton anymore - Burnley not that bad and Spurs away in 38.

        Main reason for double utd is hudd & cardiff and reckon cardiff will be relegated by 38.

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

      Relictant to transfer Salah out now, ihas been the Pool mid with best form the 5 last matches, not only at home. Who of the 3 do you Think will outscore Salah the next two?

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

        Both pogba and hazard imo.. but might find a way to ditch Mane instead although Salah & Mane seem to match each other.

        New & Wol are tough games for attacking points.

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

          Last 5:

          Salah 4 goals, 4 assists, 44 points
          Mane 3 goals, 0 assists, 28 points

          Feels like Salah edges it a bit with recent stable form, and Salah’s stats over the season are far better away

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

            Can just afford the same transfers and losing Mane instead!

            Salah seems to be in a purple patch of form right now.

  22. the_arrows
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    What to do with FT?
    A. Son to Hazard
    B. Son to Sterling
    C. Hold

    I have B. Silva but no other Spurs. Need Hazard or Sterling for captaincy.

  23. el polako
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Could really do with Kun going mental today but considering his recent form and the fact that games takes place at windy Turf Moor I dont have much hope.

  24. Party time
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who to captain next gw?
      a) Agüero
      b) Hazard
      c) Sterling
      d) Auba

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        B or C but wait to see how Hazard looks today, if he is already thinking about Ziozu and Madrid he might be a no go.

        1. Party time

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            A or C for me, penalties and home form probably swings it to the FPL legend Aguero for me

            1. Party time
                4 years, 11 months ago

                I agree. A last home game hat trick will be lovely as well

                    I'm thinking between B & C
                    Will get B this gw.

                    1. Party time
                        4 years, 11 months ago

                        Yes I'm thinking A,B,C now. No one picked Auba so he is out of the equation for me. I will have to make a decision from the first 3 now. Thanks Amey

                      Between Raheem or Kun imo. Btw, what will you do with Vardy?

                          Sane owner huh? You think he's going to get some starts now?

                          1. Party time
                              4 years, 11 months ago

                              Yes. They would need his pace to finish off the season + well rested

                            • Party time
                                4 years, 11 months ago

                                + I think Bernardo will slot back into midfield with Kdb injured

                            Agree, especially Sterling

                            Sterling haul for sure
                            Kun either haul or no show.

                            Bur 1 - 1city. Wood and Foden goals, no assists.

                              This. Random in place of wood.

                          Firm -> Rashford? Will obviously wait until after Barca game to see if he returns.

                          Which bench is better for bench boost chip:
                          A. GW 37: Ryan (ars) - Deeney (che) - Cathcart (che) - Valery (whu)
                          B. GW 38: Guaita (BOU) - Jimenez (liv) - Doherty (liv) - Cathcart (WHU)

                          Vardy points prediction? Did laca > Vardy for a hit. Don’t ask why.

                            Did the same and I expect 2 goals from him.

                            Is hit ok this late?
                            Thinking salah + eriksen + vardy to sterling + hazard + rashford -4.
                            Worth the hit? Not worried about salah.
