Scout Squad

The Scout Squad for FPL Gameweek 37

The regular prelude to the Scout Picks returns ahead of Gameweek 37.

In this article, our four panelists each submit an 18-man squad of Fantasy assets with the focus chiefly on the coming Gameweek.

The 72 nominations listed below will then be narrowed down to a squad of 14 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.5m) ahead of the upcoming deadline at 19:00 BST on Friday evening.

This is our first Scout Squad article since Joe – a regular contributor to this feature – took ill over a week ago and we continue to wish our absent colleague and friend all the best in his recovery.

Peter, Paul, Az and Neale (deputising for Joe) expand on their notable inclusions and omissions in the article below.

Paul said…

Favourable home matches for both Man City and Chelsea means that Liverpool attackers could be overlooked in this week’s Scout Picks.

I’m hoping we can free up enough cash to find a place for Sadio Mane, as Mohamed Salah’s price tag is likely to be beyond us.

Alongside the usual Scout Squad suspects, Crystal Palace pair Scott Dann and Wilfried Zaha could thrive away to Cardiff.

The Welsh side need to win to stand a chance of avoiding the drop and that can play into Palace’s hands on the counter.

Zaha has scored eight of his nine goals away from home this season, the same number as the aforementioned Salah.

Injuries to Roy Hodgson’s regular centre-backs has promoted Dann to the Eagles’ teamsheet.

He has started the last three and recorded five efforts in the box, placing him second among defenders.

The Bluebirds’ weakness from dead-ball situations could be ideal for Dann’s aerial threat.

Neil Warnock’s men have conceded 156 shots from set-pieces, the second-worst record in the Premier League.

In midfield, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be worth a punt at home to Watford.

The Chelsea midfielder has started each of the last three at Stamford Bridge, producing a goal, two assists and 21 FPL points.

Over the Blues’ last four home matches, Loftus-Cheek’s total of ten shots on goal sits second along with Eden Hazard.

Watford, meanwhile, have struggled to keep out opponents and are without a clean sheet in their last ten matches.

Neale said…

A midweek rest for set-piece specialist Trent Alexander-Arnold solidifies the Liverpool right-back’s place at the top of my list of defenders.

Newcastle’s weaknesses at set plays and in the air are well documented, with the Magpies having conceded the most headed chances and opportunities from dead-ball situations of any Premier League club in 2018/19.

Seven of Brighton’s nine efforts on goal were headers in their Gameweek 36 draw with Rafael Benitez’s side – including Pascal Gross’s equaliser.

Sadio Mane also makes my 18-man squad as a consequence, with the Senegalese winger having had the most headed attempts on goal of any FPL midfielder this season.

Cardiff’s vulnerability to the high ball also prompts my leftfield selection in attack, with Christian Benteke likely making a one-and-only appearance in my Scout Squad list.

Palace have been excellent away from home this season and the Bluebirds’ need to win against Roy Hodgson’s side this weekend plays right into the hands of the counter-attacking Eagles.

No team has conceded more headed chances than Cardiff in the last six matches so Benteke, who nodded Palace in front against Arsenal a fortnight ago and claimed a headed assist for his team’s second goal at the Emirates, gets my vote over Wilfried Zaha.

Bernd Leno seems about the most secure route into the Arsenal defence ahead of the visit of a dismal Brighton forward-line, while Luke Shaw‘s attacking threat coupled with Huddersfield’s lack of goals means the United left-back features high up my wishlist.

The Terriers, indeed, have conceded the most chances from their right flank (United’s left) of any team when filtered by last six matches.

A double-up on Everton’s defence needs little explanation given how excellent the Toffees’ backline has been of late while I’ve also gone for Richarlison in attack, with Burnley without a clean sheet in their last six away days.

The Brazilian sits third among midfielders for shots in the box both in his last six matches and over the season as a whole.

Leicester’s superb form slightly puts me off a double-up on Manchester City’s premium twosome, so Sergio Aguero is my sole nomination from Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Foxes are yet to keep an away clean sheet under Brendan Rodgers and Aguero hit four goals against Leicester at home in 2017/18.

The Argentinean striker has delivered at least one attacking return in every single league match he has started at the Etihad this season.

Az said…

Just two matches to go! I hope you are all on course to finish where you want in the rankings and win any mini-leagues to bring home some dollar or some respect.

The last two weeks certainly present some intriguing fixtures and working out which teams still have a spark about them – and which ones already have their cocktails and are sitting on the beach – will be crucial to making some shrewd, last-minute moves.

This week, there are some great fixtures to take advantage of. Liverpool and Man City continue to lock horns at the top of the table, ensuring motivation for the two best teams in the league.

The decision between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, as always, is a tough one – but Salah looks back to his best now and, with a second successive Golden Boot in his grasp, has that extra motivation to finish the season strongly.

For City, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling look primed to continue their fantastic seasons. The game against Leicester may be tricky, but if Aguero’s four goals last season against them is anything to go by, he looks a great captaincy option for this game when so much is on the line.

Elsewhere, I like the look of Palace away at Cardiff, Arsenal at home to Brighton and Wolves at home to Fulham. I’ve filled my boots with these players and would expect performances from these teams as they look to finish the season with a bang, not a whimper.

Peter said…

I’m looking forward to some intriguing match-ups this week, with in-form Leicester (13 points from a possible 18) carrying the support of many a Scouser as they seek to halt the City juggernaut, and Manchester United hoping to improve upon their dire recent run (seven points from 18) against a Terriers side which threw in the towel weeks ago.

Starting at the Etihad, Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero top my respective midfield and striker selections – the pair has 12 goals from 21 shots on target in their last six homes matches and one or other is likely to be wearing the Triple Captain armband for many FPL managers who still have that chip in their back pocket.

Use of said Triple Captain chip in last Friday’s demolition of Huddersfield led to many three-figure Gameweek scores and confirmed that Liverpool assets remain a must for the title run-in. Newcastle are a much tougher proposition (with just five goals conceded in their last six home games, compared to Huddersfield’s 18 from their last six away days) and the Barcelona tie may prove a distraction. Nonetheless, I can’t look beyond a defensive double-up of Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Mohamed Salah edging out his Senegalese team-mate for the final spot.

I’m struggling to justify significant selections from the four sides immediately below the title contenders beyond the fact that they obviously have something to play for and have (to varying degrees) promising fixtures.

Romelu Lukaku has enjoyed more big chances (seven) in his last four games on the road but most of these (and his only two away goals during that period) came at Crystal Palace back at the end of February. However, targeting the terrible Terriers has been a viable strategy for many, so I’m gambling on the big Belgian, with Luke Shaw to provide the ammunition.

Eden Hazard’s blistering recent home form (four goals and two assists in his last four matches at the Bridge) suggests that he may take advantage of Watford’s poor defensive stats away from Vicarage Road (with only Huddersfield conceding more goals in their last four games away from home).

I’ve been going round in circles trying to predict the outcome of Spurs’ visit to the Vitality in Saturday’s early kick-off and have settled on Callum Wilson as my sole interest in that game, whilst acknowledging the recent Fantasy Football Scout article suggesting he may perform better on his travels.

The Community Champion

Before most Gameweeks, we nominate a Fantasy manager to challenge our Scout Picks with a starting XI of their own.

The Community Champion who has the biggest lead over the Scouts during 2018/19 will win a £100 Amazon voucher (currently we can only offer Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com vouchers).

In Gameweek 36, Johannes lost out to our Scout Picks 85-72.

fclackless’s Gameweek 10 victory over the Scouts by a score of 77-44 remains the deficit to beat.

The Community Champion for Gameweek 37 will be announced in our Scout Picks article on Friday.

      I'm selling Son for a hit to get Pogba.
      Captaining Hazard though

      1. Football 365

        Not sure about selling a rested son before Bournemouth .

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah
          Pogba should outscore him over two gw's though 😮

            • 7 Years

            Highly doubt that, especially for a hit

            Possibly. Though everton spurs has been a goal fest recently as far as I can recollect .

      Hope it's more successful than the last time I captained Pogba, -2!

      1. Football 365
        • 5 Years

        Haha well the run up has changed . So I guess we'll get away with it this time

        Weren't you going to wait until you see Chelsea teamsheet tonight before deciding between Hazard/Pogba?

        1. Football 365

          Dont own hazard. So not bothered really.

          Not sure who that was aimed at, but if it was me I'm considering Hazard. Will monitor tonight before deciding. Not keen on Pogba or Man Utd at the moment so avoiding.

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I can see the reasoning behind it. Goodluck . Pogs been good to me so far. Hoping I don't end that run . Touchwood.

            Yes it was aimed at you AVFC82 sorry I see where I went wrong. I thought your statement inferred you were captaining Pogba

      Good luck

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Some options I’m toying with, which is best? 2FTs 0itb

    A. Eriksen >> Pogba (save FT)
    B. Duffy+Eriksen >> Shaw+Pogba (bench Gray!)
    C. Gray+Eriksen >> Rashford+Mili/Siggy

    Foster
    Laporte. TAA. Doherty
    Sterling. Mané. Eriksen. Son
    Agüero. Jiménez. Gray
    (Ryan, Højbjerg, Bednarek, Duffy)

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I quite like B actually - who could you get for Gray/Jim next week for free?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that’s the problem with B as it uses all my money. I’d be playing 4-4-2 again (in a gameweek that could be very high scoring). Or I play Gray, or I get another 5.9m striker

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          B could get you Deeney final week perhaps if you are not too sore on his recent red, or a saint versus Hud.

    2. Jarnathan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm doing A

    3. Men in green tights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Have half done B can not decide between Haz and pogs at the moment

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        So you’ve done Duffy to Shaw?

  3. 7rjngs lollygagger
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What do we think of Fulham? Could they blank out Wolves or hold them to 1?

    I’m considering benching one of Jim and Jota again. They’re less ace often against “weak” sides and a 1-0 result feels likely enough.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      What are the bench alternatives?

      1. 7rjngs lollygagger
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’m going to be on Jim Jota Wilson and Redmond - benching one.

        Jota plays anyway I think. I don’t like benching Jim but experience tells me he’s consistent as opposed to explosive. Benched him for Redmond last week - small loss.

        I fancy plenty of goals in the WH match.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Bench Wilson of those I think

    2. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      3-1 wolves

    3. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lol
      I thought same & benched Jota instead of Deulofeu.

      Don't do that to yourself bro 🙂

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I think they've been really, really lucky to not concede recently. You never know which Wolves are going to turn up but I'd back them to score a couple this weekend.

      1. 7rjngs lollygagger
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you.

        Suspect I’ll play both Jim and Jota.

    Any ideas please feel free to share! I am toying with getting in Sterling or Pogba but not sure really...

    Boruc (Hamer)

    Robertson / Alexander-Arnold / Bennett (Valery / Bednarek)

    Son / Salah / Hazard / Jota (Ward-Prowse)

    Lacazette / Agüero / Jiménez

      5 years, 6 months ago

      Really strong team - you don't need to do anything but it probably feels like you should as you have 2 FT's.

      I originally thought a GK switch may be good but there are literally no options at that price point. If you really want him, maybe Son > Pogba?

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      weirdly i cant think of anything i’d change

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        laca to rash and get ederson in maybe

    3. HamezMace
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      As you have a FT to blow, maybe look at Norris. Nuno has said he would like to play him at some point this season.

        Hope its not Liverpool away, he'll never recover!

        1. HamezMace
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I assume much more likely to be Fulham at home, would be controversial to play 3rd choice keeper in a potential title decider.

      I'd be tempted to Laca > Rash if fit

    5. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It's so difficult, leading ML by 10pts too so its vital I get it right. Rival has Sterling so I am tempted to bring him in.

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lloris
    Robo Doh Kolas
    Lucas Mane Son Jota Sterl
    Jimenez Aguero

    (Foster, Val, Origi, Masina)

    Get rid of Lucas and Origi for Hoj and Rash? Then Jimenez to Zaha in 38?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      if 2ft and rash fit yeah

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        1ft.

  12. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    VVD > Digne & Eriksen >Hazard -4 worth it ? (Already have TAA)

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Can work imo.
      I like the incoming players

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks Amey. What’s your thoughts on Man U assets? Eriksen > Pogba is a popular move on here, but it’s not very inspiring!

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I'm getting Pogba for Son most probably (-4)
          Hudds & Cardiff.
          Also he's a show off so would love to score goals against them to look cool 😀

          United played well against Chelsea in first half too. People ignoring United so i think it's a great idea to have Pogba as a nice differential

          1. JELLYFISH
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yes with doubts over Rash and kaku can see the appeal in Pogba

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      nah

    3. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Like it.

      Half considering VVD to Palace defence (Dann) to fund Hazard. Don’t esoecially like my double Liverpool defence now.

      Just reluctant to bring in a defender at this stage

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yes agree. Don’t see the value of double pool defenders for the final 2 gw’s

  13. xRedArrow
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Start:
    A) Foster (che)
    B) Ryan (ars)

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I have the same combo and am playing Ryan

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Same.

      2. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Same, purely on the basis that Ryan is more likely to save a pen if Arsenal get one.

        Eden don't miss.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      how would you like your 1 point served sir?

    3. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ryan

    4. Football 365
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Had the same combo . Used my ft to get fabianski for foster

  14. You want sum?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shall I do Vardy to Laca for -4?

    1. You want sum?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Or Ake to another def and leave Vardy?

      1. You want sum?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm Ake to Digne then?

    2. how now brown cow
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      How many points do you predict for laca?

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      can see the temptation but probably not

    4. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think it's worth a hit

    5. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      cos its laca... rashford might be more worthwhile

  15. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Trippier -> Shaw
    Wilson -> Rashford
    Eriksen -> Pogba or Hazard.

    I can only do two of these for free... what would people do? Or should I just go -4?

    1. HamezMace
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier to Shaw (as I don't think Trippier starts this weekend).

      Eriksen to Hazard seems a popular move this week.

      I'd save Wilson to Rashford for next week.

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers!

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier and Eriksen out. Trippier a rotation risk and Pogba or Hazard could be decent captain options if you bring them in

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        True but I might go for the TC this week on Kun or Raz 😐

        Side's a mess, basically!

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Fair enough. Well I would at least do Trippier to Shaw. The other 2 aren't necessary but could pay off. Would happily play Wilson in the last two games though, you never know when he is going to score

    3. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      shaw and hazard at the moment

  16. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    TC hazard ? or wait for gw38?

    1. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      why not

    2. The Albatross
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Go for it

  17. Tsssst
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson
    Bednarek Robertson TAA
    Pogba Son Sterling Mane
    Mitrovic Jimenez Ageuro

    Foster Duffy Dunk CHO (injured)

    any glaring obvious changes needed or bank the FT?!

    1. The Albatross
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bank

    2. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Do you have funds to significantly upgrade Mitro? Everythign else looks good.

      1. Tsssst
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        only 0.3 itb.

        i could do Duffy to Kelly for a hit to replace Mitro with Rashford...

        1. Hanked
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          In that case, I'd definitely stick with Mitro.

          Probably not worth a hit for a half 50/50 injured Rashford.

          1. Tsssst
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            must resist.... lol.

            cheers, wise words.

  18. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If I own Firmino and don't think he's going to play 90 minutes this weekend, it's not ridiculous to bench him this week and play him next week instead of just selling him right?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who you benching him for.

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Probably Babel. I have 3 Wolves, Masina and Doucoure who I don't want playing in GW38. So I was thinking Doucoure to Babel this week to play both and one of Jiminez/Jota to a Southampton player next week. If I take Firmino out I have to either take a hit next week or play one of those 5 that I don't want to play

    2. The Albatross
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not at all

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      he’ll play

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I know he'll be involved I'm just not confident how long he'll play for since he didn't start in the Champions League game

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          if hes fit enough to come off the bench he’ll start vs newcastle

          1. Carlton_Goal
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Big difference between 11 minutes and 90 though. If they want him to start the next Champions League game his minutes might get managed at Newcastle

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      benching him is absurd

  19. The Albatross
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lloris (bou, EVE) to De Gea (hud, CAR) for a hit. Worth it?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't bother.

    2. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think it's worth a hit

      1. The Albatross
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, little to be gained I suppose. Thanks to you both.

    3. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      nooo

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      lol nah

  20. Hanked
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Gray will start will start with Deeney back from his suspension?

    1. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Please ignore my mid sentence stutter

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He could do. Either him or Deulofeu could be benched to make way for Deeney so it's 50/50 really

      1. Hanked
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, that's what I'm thinking. Do you reckon Deeney definitely starts despite Gray and Deulofeu's form?

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I would say so. Deeney was in some really good form himself before the red card.

  21. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?
    A) Sterling and Kolasnic
    B) Hazard and TAA (-4)

    1. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B if your chasing

    2. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      a not close

    4. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

  22. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which do I prioritise?

    a) Eriksen > Sterling
    b) Firmino > Aguero

    1. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B for ownership

    2. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      b

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      a and im keeping him

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

      Has to be B because of Bobby fitness issue.
      I really like Raz this gw though 😮

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If he can play minutes against Barca he is good to go against Newcastle

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          If you're sure about Bobby Starting then A for me.

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          finally someone talking sense

        3. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          If he wasn't fit enough to start against Barca and they want him for the next Barca game then his minutes could be managed. That being said I fancy Aguero more than Sterling for these last couple anyway. Aguero usually comes through in the important matches

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        he made the bench vs barca and came on. he’ll start this weekend

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah.
          He had muscle related Injury though right ??
          His Minutes may get managed ?
          Just precaution as Bobby owners are already burned in last gw 🙂

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Serious lack of downgrade options for firmino (own Jiménez Wilson already)

            1. Amey
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Absolutely agreed.
              I took a hit last gw to remove him & got mane.
              No option within a FT unless you having £££ itb

                Any advice on my post below?
                I’m set on bringing hazard in but not sure of 2nd move

    5 years, 6 months ago

    1) Eriksen to Sterling for Free is a no-brainer right?

    2) was considering taking (-4) to do Trippier to Laporte/Robertson too, but not sure this is worth it with Trippier's minutes being managed midweek, should I still do it?

    3) waiting for the presser for Rashford. Zaha in if he's out?

      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      1: Yes
      2: I don't expect Liverpool to batter Newcastle, so you're looking at CS + maybe BAPS for Robertson. I think the money's better spent elsewhere
      3: Depends if he's only out for one game - you could use that wedge of cash to upgrade flagged cathcart to someone sexy and still have the money for Jimi > Rash next week

  24. danishdynamite

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Right, I have to decided to ditch Eriksen & Son this week. "He who dares, Rodney!"

    One spot is for Hazard (C) and the other for one of:

    A: Richiarlson (lovely diff)
    B: Siggy (as above)
    C: Jota (am scared of him hauling, though I have a feeling that it won't be a thrashing this week against Fulham)
    D: Bilva (good form, good stats and good fixtures - the safe choice, but there's an argument that ditching Son for 'safe' isn't the reason to ditch him.

    Rank's good, so this is a just me being demob happy and going for a better rank

      1. THAT'S LIFE
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Conversely I have Salah and fighting the urge to switch. Can't see Newcastle making it easy and suspect Rafa will try extra hard to avoid any cries of favouritism

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          i dont think rafa will “try” any harder or less than usual, but it’s a close call. suspect few agree

    3. Tsssst
      • 13 Years

      stick a tenner on him to score then

      1. THAT'S LIFE

    This will take a hit to get him in which I am fine with
