Hazard all set for Gameweek 37 after Europa League benching

As per usual, the latest Europa League action has helped give us clues about the next round of Fantasy Premier League.

Most notably, Eden Hazard (£10.9m) was left on the bench ahead of a hugely appealing home fixture against Watford, with the Chelsea man potentially the key differential captain this weekend.

Meanwhile, the waters were muddied further at Arsenal as both of their centre-forwards were heavily involved against Valencia.

We discuss all the Fantasy talking points from the semi-finals in this latest Scout Notes article.

Arsenal 3-1 Valencia

Goals: Alexandre Lacazette x2 (£9.4m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m)

Assists: Aubameyang, Xhaka, Sead Kolašinac (£5.0m)

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) was the star for Arsenal as they beat Valencia on Thursday night. He scored twice as his partnership with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) proved too hot to handle for the Spanish visitors. The Frenchman’s first goal of the night was netted after a square-ball from his Gabonese colleague, who added a crucial strike in stoppage time.

Lacazette’s goals came at just the right time for the Gunners as his exploits turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead in just seven minutes. He was by far the most threatening player on the pitch and could have arguably netted at least a hat-trick, maybe more. Lacazette spurned several big chances, including a close-range header and two opportunities that brought saves from Valencia goalkeeper Neto. The volume of shots he had in the match certainly suggests he could offer serious points potential in Gameweek 37 – after all, you have to all the way back to Gameweek 16 for the last time Lacazette blanked in a home match.

“I had two more chances where I could have done better but thankfully Aubameyang scored the third one. If we can go to Baku [for the Europa League final] it will be special.” – Alexandre Lacazette

However, calling which of Arsenal’s front men will start their Premier League encounter with Brighton on Sunday afternoon remains something of a coin toss. With both Lacazette and Aubameyang playing the full 90 minutes against Valencia, it is very difficult to second guess Unai Emery at this point. After all, he very recently substituted Lacazette roughly an hour into a Europa League tie, suggesting he would start the following Premier League match, but the Spanish manager ended up benching him.

It certainly seems as if Emery will not be resting on Arsenal’s laurels in the second leg of this semi-final, which might impact the game-time of his attacking players in Gameweek 37. When asked how he would approach the return trip to Spain, the Gunners boss insisted that attack will be the best form of defence. The Europa League continues to increase in priority for Arsenal as they bid for Champions League football in 2019/20. Three consecutive defeats in the Premier League have seriously damaged their top-four chances and are two points short of Chelsea with two games to go. Therefore, it’s possible that both Lacazette and Aubameyang will have their minutes managed against Brighton with that second leg in Valencia in mind. That said, 27 of the Frenchman’s 35 goals in all competitions for Arsenal (77%) have come at home, so perhaps it might be him who starts against Brighton and is benched for Valencia.

“We need to play there thinking to win, thinking to score, thinking to take our moment in attack. They are going to feel strong with their supporters there. Aubameyang and Lacazette played very well. We managed to get in dangerous situations near their goal, and in the first half towards the end, we got in four to five times out wide. I still believe that the tie is in the balance, we know how tough it will be to beat Valencia again. And they will be looking to respond.” – Unai Emery

Despite the positive result, Arsenal still looked defensively vulnerable at stages of this semi-final first leg, especially in the first half. Ezequiel Garay missed from a few yards out, then Rodrigo was given the space to head across goal to set up Mouctar Diakhaby for the opening strike. Soon afterwards a loose Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) header allowed Goncalo Guedes a chance.

“We started a bit nervous because we lost the last three games, I think that’s normal. We are human, but after that, we had a good reaction.” – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

There were further clues to Arsenal’s potential line-up against Brighton on Thursday night. Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) might be touch and go for Gameweek 37 after he was taken off in the 82nd minute against Valencia, Emery now hoping he will be okay for Sunday. Meanwhile, Sead Kolaśinac‘s (£5.0m) 90-minute outing, plus a full match at Leicester in Gameweek 36, might see him rotated out of his left-back berth for Nacho Monreal (£5.4m), who only played 10 minutes against Valencia.

“I hope Koscielny will be ok for Sunday, I don’t know. But I don’t know for the second leg away he was very tired. He ran back 50 metres doing a sprint and it’s normal he can be tired and struggling. I prefer to change him to give also Nacho Monreal ten minutes after his small [calf] injury. Ten minutes helps us and him.” – Unai Emery

Meanwhile, Lucas Torreira (£4.7m) featured only as a second-half substitute for Matteo Guendouzi (£4.4m). That should probably see the Uruguayan start against Brighton.

“I was thinking with Matteo, he can have that and also with the combination with Mesut. After the first half, it was not playing like I was thinking. But, it is good for us and our composition with the team, the set up I think was for controlling the possession also. This is the reason. Matteo and Lucas can help us at the beginning or having an impact. Also, giving us different qualities. Both can play together, can play also one another. It depends on the match. Today I decided with Matteo to play the passes ahead for Mesut, for the strikers, also one side to another side. Maybe the match in the second half can be different.” – Unai Emery

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Cech; Koscielny (Monreal 82′), Sokratis, Mustafi; Kolašinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi (Torreira 58′), Maitland-Niles; Özil (Mkhitaryan 75′); Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Chelsea

Goals: Pedro (£6.2m)

Assists: Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.2m)

Chelsea fans might have been disappointed to see Hazard on the bench for their trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, but it was a development that will be particularly pleasing to his Fantasy owners. Maurizio Sarri opted not to start the Belgian to ensure that he had ample rest for the remainder of the season, with Watford up next. The 30 minutes that Hazard got under his belt on Thursday, which featured an energetic display, should see him fresh and ready for an appealing fixture that has firmly established him in the Gameweek 37 captaincy debate.

“Eden was on the bench because, in the last period, he played 10 matches in a row. It’s impossible to play that many. For us, this was match No59 I think, and Hazard also played eight matches in the national team. For a player, it’s impossible to play 70-75 matches in a season. And so, sometimes, Hazard like all the other players needs to rest. Or not to rest, but not to play for 90 minutes. This is the first reason. The second is that Eden usually is able to change the match from the bench, and so, for me, it was better to start with Willian and then to try, in the last 30-35 minutes, with Eden. But for Eden, it’s impossible to play 75-80 matches in a season.” – Maurizio Sarri

Alternative sources of investment to Hazard at Chelsea have been hard to come by in recent weeks but Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.2m) has been making a case for himself. The England international was arguably the Blues’ best player on Thursday night, coming back into the side after featuring only as a substitute against Manchester United. He inspired the fight-back after Chelsea went 1-0 down, forcing a save out of Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp before playing in Pedro (£6.2m) to equalise. Subsequently, Loftus-Cheek had two more excellent opportunities to score and will have done his chances of starting against Watford no harm at all.

He was replaced by Mateo Kovačić (£5.7m) in the 82nd minute with cramp, so is not really nailed on to start against Watford. Maurizio Sarri revealed once again that the club are still managing a back issue for him but given that he played just 14 minutes last weekend, he is still in with a shout of starting on Sunday afternoon.

“Loftus-Cheek is a very important player. He improved a lot during the season. When he is at the top, physically, he’s a very important player. He’s always in trouble with his back, and it’s not easy for him to have training with consistency. But in this match he was really fit. He played a very good match. He had a cramp in the last 10 minutes so he called me for a substitution.” – Maurizio Sarri

Meanwhile, Pedro has now been involved in seven goals in his last six starts in the Europa League. The Spaniard has scored four of his own and provided assists for another three, but very much remains off the Fantasy radar. That’s because his heavy involvement in European competitions has meant just one start in the last six Premier League matches.

“It’s very difficult because we have to play again in the Premier League in 62 hours, so it’s not easy to recover, especially in a very competitive championship like the Premier League. You risk to pay.” – Maurizio Sarri

David Luiz (£5.8m) offered plenty of goal threat against Frankfurt and will be disappointed not to have come away with attacking returns. He rattled the cross-bar with one of his textbook free-kicks before directing a headed effort from Hazard’s cross straight at the goalkeeper.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Emerson, D Luiz, Christensen, Azpilicueta; Loftus-Cheek (Kovačić 83′), Jorginho, Kanté; Willian (Hazard 61′), Giroud, Pedro.

    Has to be Aguero or Sterling doesn’t it?

    Champions elect Manchester City take on Leicester at the Etihad on Monday night in what promises to be an entertaining clash between two of the form teams in the league with two prominently attacking managers at the helm.

    Manchester City have won 17 out of 18 home league games, scoring 56 goals in the process whilst Aguero has returned at least a goal or an assist in every home league game that he has started this season. The Argentinian also comes with penalties in his locker, the Golden Boot in his sights and of course, a Premier League title to be won.

    For Sterling’s part, he has outscored Aguero in every home game against the bottom 14 teams in the league in all of the 5 games that they have started together this season with his total points at 74 vs Aguero’s 39 over those games. With Sterling’s total ownership at around half of that of Aguero’s, owners of both may decide to favour the Englishman in their bid to rise up the ranks.

    Anyone looking elsewhere? Man United take on whipping boys Huddersfield but seem to be currently lacking in form and reliable options and Liverpool travel to Newcastle in between two Champions League ties with only short breaks between games. Eden Hazard could prove to be a canny differential in what could be his final league game at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea whilst Wolves take on Fulham at Molineux where Jota and Jiminez will fancy their chances of more returns from their increasingly productive partnership.

    Who are you captaining this gameweek and why?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Leaning towards Sterling. Leicester are an attacking team so I can see a lot of space opening up for City.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Hazard - as I think he will be the highest scoring player this week in potentially his final league home game.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        You may be underestimating Capoue and Dacoure.

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Capoue is confirmed out

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

      Aguero, and will TC.
      Hasn't failed to get a return of some kind in a home game all season (when playing over 60 minutes - which he no doubt will this Monday)

      As I'm using TC, I just feel Aguero is the safer choice, than Sterling.

      Martial. Great form

      1. Pieterke30

      Hazard
      1. Chasing
      2. Watford home - 30 points in reverse fixture for me so nostalgia 🙂
      3. Watford record away @ big teams is pathetic.
      4. Don't wanna pick someone from Raz/Kun as want to climb up in rankings

    6. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Hazard.

    7. Feyzi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Coin toss between Kun and Sterling, can't see any other way...

    8. Gegenpress

      Chasing ML by 1 point (Captaining my main differential HAZARD)

    9. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard, last 7 home games averages just under 10 points per game. Against a Watford team who don’t do cleanies, to me haz makes a lot of sense

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

        He does, lots going Hazard looking at the replies.

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

      I have Aguero but I'm bringing in Hazard and captaining him.

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

        Fair play, Hazard is a great shout if you’re chasing.

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

          I am. The two teams above me both have, Mane, Salah, and a combination of Aguero or Aguero and Sterling. One of my Spurs assets is likely to make way, but I'm considering seriously losing my mine and selling Mane for Eden. All our front lines and half of our defences are really similar so the only real area to make gains is midfield.

    11. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero or Hazard... probably Hazard as chasing.

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

        Yeah, Hazard could be gold. I think i’m just a bit put off by the Thursday-Sunday schedule and Leicester away in GW38.

    12. Marv25
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero TC Sterling VC

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

        Nice.

    13. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years

      Not saying it won't happen but they're not technically champions elect.

      Hazard for me.

    14. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sterling, Aguero, Hazard. Order debatable, but absolutely pointless to consider anyone else.

    B) Eriksen and Lloris > Hazard and 3.9 GK (-4)
    C) Save FT

    Lloris
    TAA Laporte Boly
    Mane Sterling Eriksen Son Jota
    Aguero Jimenez

    Foster Long Valery Masina

    1. The Sociologist

      C)

  4. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start Ryan or Foster?

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

      On Foster myself but neither likely to get many points

    2. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan.
      Hughton will park the bus. Watford will have a go. Also, Watford are in FA Cup Final mode.

      As an aside re. 38, for other Ryan/Foster owners, with Ryan playing Man City in GW38, are you worried that Foster might be benched ahead of the FA Cup Final?

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

      Same dilema; was considering transfering Foster to Guaita, but that caould easily prove to be a wasted transfer; so I think I'll start Foster after all.....

  5. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lukaku and Greenwood injured. Lingard and Martial out in the cold.

    Rashford trained since Wednesday, I don't care what OGS said, he'll 100% start.

  6. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start Kolasinac or Bednarek?

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

      Just did Kola to Shaw as didn't wanna start Kola or Valery (Kola will be benched I think rest for europa)

  7. Lionac
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If you can choose would you pick Hazard over Mane for last two GWs?

    1. Amey

    Chasing in my ML by 50 big ones!! Need huge differentials this week??

    The differentials... Pick two that you think have best chance to haul this GW:
    A. Pogba
    B. Hazard
    C. Zaha
    D. Rashford
    E. Long
    F. Siggy
    G. Laca
    H. Auba

    The blanks... pick two you'd sacrifice this GW:

    C. Son
    D. Moura

    Thanks all and GL!! 🙂

    1. Boss Hogg

  10. balint84

    buying Shaw&Doherty worth the -4 in a BB team?

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years

      Depends who's leaving...

      1. balint84

        Dunk,Matip

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

          Maybe just, think Dunk vs. Arsenal is the big weak link.

  11. The Sociologist
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Uninspired with the amount of Spurs in my team, considering how tired they've looked of late and the Champions League to throw the kitchen sink at... how do these moves look for GW37?

    Eriksen > Hazard
    Vardy > Aguero
    Son > 5.8 midfielder (thinking Babel/Redmond)

    Insanity? Or some aggressive moves to hopefully propel me into the top 100K?

    Feeling like I need to cover Aguero this week as he'll be heavily captained, and hoping Hazard can be a good differential. Babel and Redmond have decent form and decent fixtures too. Any thoughts?

  12. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry to ask again but would appreciate your input with a little more info this time 🙂

    I’m chasing my ML rival by 18 points.
    Our teams are very similar and he has 2 FTs and most likely to (c) Aguero or Sterling

    My Team:

    (Ryan)
    (Trippier) (TAA) (Doherty)
    Sterling Son (Jota) Mane JWP
    Aguero Jimenez

    Foster Valery Gray Duffy

    1FT 1.3ITB

    Players in brackets are my differentials.

    His are: Iloris, Laporte, Robertson Dunk Eriksen (but also has 2FTs)

    I’m considering Mane > Hazard(c) for free.

    Do you think this is a good move or maybe even take a hit else where?

    Thanks in advance 🙂

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

      Note: because Trippier is a differential I’m included to risk him and not transfer him out.

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

      Don’t think you need to do that - 18 points isn’t that big a gap.

      If you do the move then it’s oretty much an all or nothing Play

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

        What would you suggest then? Nothing?

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

    Help please. 2FT

    Lloris (foster)
    Robertson, Doherty, Valery (Duffy, Dunk)
    Mane, Sterling, Son, Eriksen, JWP
    Aguero, Jimenez (Gray)

    A) Eriksen & Gray -> Rashford & Jota (play Valery, bench JWP)
    B) Eriksen & Duffy -> Jota & Laporte (Play JWP, bench Valery)
    C) Eriksen & Duffy -> Pogba & PVA (Play JWP, bench Valery)
    D) Eriksen & Gray -> Hazard & Quaker (Play JWP & Valery)
    E) Eriksen & Duffy -> Shaw & Pogba (Play JWP, bench Valery)
    F) Eriksen & Duffy -> Shaw & Jota (Play JWP, bench Valery

    So many options!

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

      No way for Hazard & Laporte/Shaw?

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

        Nope - too expensive sadly

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

          Maybe B) then

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

      B stands out to me

        This is what I was leaning towards but had a lot of people telling me it’s too late for Jota

          Jota has Fulham at home so definitely has potential to score well.

    A)
    Ryan
    Digne TAA Robertson Laporte
    Son Mane Sterling Jota
    Aguero(C) Jiminez

    or
    B)
    Ryan
    TAA Robertson Laporte
    Camarasa Son Jota Sterling Hazard(C)
    Aguero Jiminez

    1. FPL Tikka
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Basically Mane > Hazard or Camarasa > Digne>

    Kola to Shaw..

    I'm chasing my ML leader by 1 point after having a monstrous week last week. 1st and 3rd who I'm sandwiched between both have Bench Boost left (My BB failed I actually brought Kola in lol and he's already out)..

    G2G Below? Need all the advice / help to win this league! 1 point behind and I reckon he's Bench boosting this week.

    Leno

    Shaw Robertson Laporte Doh

    Jota Salah Mane Haz(C) Son

    Jimenez

      What’s the question?

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

        Am I gtg? He has sterling do I need to try fit him in my team or just hope he blanks?

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

          Hard to say without knowing his team. Given you have Mane I’d be very tempted to do Salah -> Sterling

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

            I'm fairly sure he's bench boosting - He's made 2 subs but don't know who? This was his squad last Gwk

            If I was to guess he probably takes out 2 of Bed Rich Rondon

            Patricio Fab

            Robertson Bed Shaw TAA Monreal

            Richarlison Sterling Mane Son Pogba

            Wilson Jimenez Rondon

  16. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    1) Play Wilson
    2) Play Redmond

    a. Vertongen-> Shaw
    b. Play Vertongen and let Valery come in if needed

    Should I replace Vertonghen with:

    A) Doherty

    B) Arnold

    I already have Robbo

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

      Considered Shaw or PVA?

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

      Doh or Shaw

    3. Warby84

  19. MadMarcelo

    Gunn
    TAA - Boly - Valery
    Salah - Mane - Son - Bilva - Jota
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Foster - Duffy - Cathcart - Llorente

    A/ Duffy > Shaw, bench Valery
    B/ Foster + Duffy > DDG + Shaw - 4
    C/ Son + Mane > Pogba + Hazard - 4
    D/ Duffy + Salah > Shaw + Hazard - 4
    E/ Foster + Duffy + Salah > DDG + Shaw + Hazard - 8

    Been away this week so bit out of loop. Any help here guys, got 2ft and 0.2 in the bank but not sure what to do. Eriksen to Pogba was my thought initially but could backfire

    Ryan (foster)
    Robbo taa Laporte (bony valery)
    Eriksen son mane Jota sterling
    Aguero Jimenez (Llorente)

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

      Mane + Llorente >> Hazard + Long ??

      Re Pogba, he isn't pictured in training on Wednesday. & OGS hasn't suggested anything about players Injured exactly. So I'm staying away

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, appreciate the Pogba news...wasn’t aware of that. Not sure I want to lose mane but do like the thought of getting hazard!! Might just change a keeper and stick with 2 ft next week

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

          Cool 🙂

  21. Just Been On Loan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A) Son and roll over FT
    B) Pogba

    1. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A

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

    Go ahead and do Firmino, Son > Rash, Haz for free?

    Need to go to bed... (Australia time)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would

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

      Ha pretty much looking at the same thing except Eriksen instead of Son. Pretty sure bobby will play but unsure of Rash. Wish we knew as I need hazard

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

        Think I’m gonna go ahead with the moves and cap Haz. I think Rash starts, knock doesn’t seem too bad, fighting for UCL spot and United don’t have many other options

  23. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A couple of options I am considering. Got son and want to get rid of eriksen

    A) eriksen, gray -> hazard, fodder (-4) (have long)
    B) eriksen, duffy-> bsilva, laporte (-4)

    If I go with A then perez will have to play

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

      b

  24. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Team linked...
    A) Origi, Moura to Rash, Hoj (-4)
    B) Kolas to Shaw
    C) Save

  25. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best pick:

    A) Eriksen & Duffy >>> Pogba & Doherty (-4)

    B) Just Eriksen >>> Pogba and play Duffy

    Thanks guys.

    Gtg? 0 FT's - 0.9 ITB
    Ahead with 1 point in Cash League. Rival also has Mané, Sterling, Son & Jiménez.

    He will play Etheridge, Robertson, Arnold, Walker, Vardy & Rashford.

    Leno
    Laporte - van Dijk - Lindelöf
    Salah (C) - Sterling - Son - Mané - Redmond
    Jiménez - Wilson

    (Ryan, Rondón, Duffy, Dunk)

  27. vityovics
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    is this the correct bench order, gents?

    1. Gray(che)
    2. Bednarek(whu)
    3. Dunk(ars)

  28. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Just did Salah and Son to Hazard and Sterling for free, giving me:

    Ryan
    TAA LaPorte Doherty
    Sterling Mane Hazard (c) Redmond Jota
    Jimi Aguero
    Foster Monreal DCL Trippier.

    Genius or absolute madness?!?!

      You’ll find out by the end of the week 😉

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

        Salahs gonna get a 20 pointer isn't he!

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

          I’d be more worried about Son!

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Could go either way.

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

      bench looks correct, want to play Monreal but not sure who I could replace?!

    4. Gegenpress
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hmmm I'm worried about Sterling / Aguero - hoping for a blank lol..

      Son is guaranteed minutes and spurs need a win for top 4 I'm surprised people are taking him out..

      Salah is also chasing Golden Boot..

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Like the moves.

    Thoughts? 2FT, 0.1 ITB:
    Thinking about bring in Rashford?

    Leno/Ryan

    Robertson/TAA/Kolasinac/Dunk/Valery

    Mane/Pogba/Son/Fraser/Hojberg

    Aguero/Laca/Gray

  30. King Barry
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard + Zaha or Sterling + Arnie?

    Need to make up 30 points on my ML!

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

      With that size gap then it’s got to be the hazard option and captain him

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Haz and Zaha for me.
