Spurs’ comeback win still leaves Fantasy owners with final-day dilemma

Twenty-four hours after Liverpool overhauled a three-goal deficit to progress to the UEFA Champions League final, Tottenham Hotspur did likewise in the Netherlands.

Trailing 2-0 to Ajax on the night and 3-0 on aggregate, Spurs scored three second-half goals to set up an all-English final in Madrid on June 1.

Where this leaves Spurs assets for Gameweek 38 is hard to say.

So underwhelmingly flat in the previous three Gameweeks, will this euphoric victory buoy the Lilywhites going into the final-day home fixture against Everton?

Or will the physical and mental exertions of Wednesday night’s victory in Amsterdam leave them with a hangover for what is essentially a dead rubber against Marco Silva’s in-form side?

We relive another memorable Champions League semi-final in our Scout Notes article below.

Ajax 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Lucas Moura (£6.8m) x3
  • Assists: Dele Alli (£8.8m) x2

The vast majority of Fantasy managers who are seeking to replace the suspended Son Heung-min (£8.7m) in Gameweek 38 probably wouldn’t have initially considered Lucas Moura (£6.8m) in a like-for-like swap.

Spurs have scored just one league goal in their last four Premier League matches and have looked fatigued during that run, with Mauricio Pochettino’s relatively small squad (further weakened due to injuries) rendering him unable to rotate much around the UEFA Champions League ties.

As we alluded to in our introduction, Spurs have all but confirmed a top four place already this season and there is little riding on Sunday’s encounter with Everton.

How much energy the Lilywhites have left to break down a Toffees’ defence that has kept eight clean sheets in ten matches is another factor to consider.

Still, that hasn’t stopped a modest surge in demand for Lucas after his hat-trick in the Amsterdam Arena.

There certainly didn’t look to be a problem with lethargy in last night’s end-to-end thriller in the Netherlands, with Lucas producing an electric second-half display to score his second hat-trick in the space of a month.

The Brazilian’s “out of position” status is an obvious draw but ironically his treble only arrived after Fernando Llorente‘s (£5.1m) half-time introduction, with Lucas moved to an inside-right position having initially led the line himself.

Lucas combined nicely with Dele Alli (£8.8m) for Spurs’ first and third goals, with his second all of his own making – the Brazil international producing excellent footwork to create some space for himself to finish after Andre Onana had spilt the ball in the Ajax box.

Pochettino lavished praise on his Brazilian midfielder after the game, saying:

I think scoring three goals, a hat-trick, if the other players are superheroes, he’s a super, super, superhero. He was amazing, he was very clinical in front of the goal. Yes, I think a fantastic night, a magical night for him. He is so important.

I think Lucas Moura when he arrived, [it] was a difficult moment. Always we pushed him to be better and of course, it was a tough period for him but we always believed in him. Always respected him and look today.

Without Harry Kane, many people were talking about Sonny but today it was Lucas Moura who scored three goals and you know if you don’t respect all the players you cannot only have 11 players. You can have some players who can win some games but to be in the Champions League final you need 24 or 25 and the relationship must always be honest with everyone. In some moments when you need them, they need to give their best.

Alli was again playing in “the hole” and it is stating the obvious to say he looks much more of an attacking threat in that position than when playing in a more withdrawn central midfield role.

Those deeper starting positions have deterred many Fantasy managers from considering the former MK Dons star as an option but he proved again last night that, when permitted, he can be a nuisance in the opposition box.

As well as banking two assists, Alli could have been on the scoresheet himself when his volley from Christian Eriksen‘s (£9.2m) fine pass was pushed away by Onana.

That was his only shot of the game, it must be said, with Eriksen, Son, Llorente and Lucas registering more attempts on goal.

Only Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) recorded more key passes, though, and Alli’s remit was as much to be a link-up man than an out-and-out goalscorer.

Alli had earlier set up Son for two presentable first-half chances that the Korean couldn’t convert, one of which struck the upright.

Eriksen’s performances haven’t fully convinced this season and this was another mixed bag from the Dane, who was again pushed into a deeper role alongside the excellent Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) after Wanyama’s half-time substitution.

Eriksen still managed three shots on goal from inside the Ajax box, although two of these came in the first half before his reversion to deep-lying playmaker.

Spurs’ comeback owed a debt to Llorente’s introduction, with the gangling striker winning 13 aerial battles in the second half alone – more than any other player managed over 90 minutes.

The former Swansea targetman still lacks conviction in front of goal, though – Llorente somehow missing from point-blank range seconds before Lucas’s second strike.

It seems likely that Llorente and Lucas will both feature together against Everton, with Son banned and Harry Kane (£12.6m) still sidelined – although Vincent Janssen (£4.5m) is another option up top.

Pochettino flounced out of his post-match presser when asked about Kane’s fitness but the England striker looked sprightly enough when sprinting onto the field at full-time to celebrate with his team-mates.

It seems very unlikely that Kane will be involved against Everton, though, with the Spurs forward asked if he would be able to feature in Madrid in June:

Hopefully. Rehab is going well so far. I started straight-line running this week. We’ll just see, so far so good. There’s still a few weeks for it to go.

I have got to start training even harder and prove myself in front of the gaffer and hopefully be back fit.

Elsewhere on the injury front, a mask-wearing Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) returned to the Spurs starting XI and Erik Lamela (£5.9m) made a cameo appearance off the bench.

Serge Aurier (£5.7m) is back in training but wasn’t involved last night, while Davinson Sanchez (£5.8m) was absent with a thigh problem.

Those Fantasy managers who still own Trippier will have understandable concerns about his participation in Gameweek 38, with Aurier nearing a return and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.2m) a rested option.

Juan Foyth (£5.0m) will be suspended for the Everton game, at least.

Trippier, as he has been for much of the season, was a weak link defensively and partly culpable for both of Ajax’s goals.

His Fantasy appeal – a bit like Marcos Alonso‘s (£6.2m) once did – still shines through the unconvincing defensive displays, with his role at set plays helping him to a match-high total of five key passes (one of which was a low cross that Llorente wasted from a few yards out).

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Trippier (Lamela 81′), Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose (Davies 83′); Sissoko, Wanyama (Llorente 46′); Eriksen, Alli, Son; Lucas Moura.

    Getting rid of Jimenez, confident he will blank and I have 2x Liv Def.

    A) Vardy
    B) Wilson
    C) Zaha

    Do I get rid of Jota for a -4?

      B

    2. Invincibles

      Could do Jiménez + Jota > Pogba + Wilson (-4)

  3. ㅤRising
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Jimenez and Jota realistically should get 2 appearance points each + 8 point hit + Son 0 = 12 vs Redmond + Pogba + Wilson
    The latter should score more than 12 points right?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Their chance of getting more than 12 is not too dissimilar to the chance of 2/3 blanking or the chance that Jota and/or Jimenez score a goal/assist.

      -8 is very unlikely to pay off last GW of the season

      1. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        One of those 3 is very very likely to score double figures imo

            Haha, I do like to gamble in fpl tho, and as a gambler I fancy my chances here and think there is a very high chance just one of the players I bring outscores the entire 12 points because Wolves will not score.

      Redmond and Pogba only have 2 double digit hauls between them in the last 10 or so games. The form suggests Wilson is more likely, but Palace have 2 clean sheets in 3 at Selhurst. Could happen, but I'm not convinced its very, very likely.

      You could also just do Son > Pogba for free, which would then mean it's Jota + Jimenez + 8, or Redmond and Wilson.

      Burnley scored 2 at Anfield recently. Jimenez has already returned against Chelsea and Spurs this season, and only Salah has more shots in the box than Jota over the last 6 GW's.

      Too many on here are convinced Doherty, Jota, Raul etc will come out of the gameweek with 2 points, it reminds me of Duffy in GW35.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Of course but their highest chance is to get 0 goals, its a game of chances

              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Statistically more likely to get 3 points each, so your 14 points is now 16 and looking flakier.

    ** report sorry, bottmed **

    Do we agree that considering GW38 line ups uncertainty I don't think there's actually much options as Son's replacement.

    - united (pobga, martial) has nothing to play for. OGS could clearly put a newbie team here. this mean even Pogba's at risk if the board has decided to sell him to Real, why risking him on a final game with no stake at all?
    - watford (deulofeu): nothing to play for. Deulofeu is fragile. Clearly a punt that could pay off, but clearly a punt
    - southampton (redmond, armstrong, JWP) : nothing to play for.
    - Arsenal (ozil, mkhy?): midfield is a minefield, I don't think we should go nowhere near thie area

    that leaves us to Moura isn't it?. The guy ticks all boxes. Fixture, form, a home game with UCL at stake, Son and Kane out, kind of nailed on

    1. SoShy

      Ucl at stake?

    2. Invincibles

      Gw38 most have nothing to play for. Look at guaranteed starters, fixtures and your MLs

      I suppose he probably starts but not sure how many from last night will. Must be a good chance Poch will field as many reserves as he dares.

      I’d prefer Richarlison or Siggy.

    Considering joining next season...

    1. Has taking out membership been worth it?
    2. Has it been useful or do you think you could have without it?
    3. What's your overall rank so far (roughly) ?

    Thanks

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      1. Yes
      2. Could live without it, but for the amount of time I spend on here they deserve some of my money.
      3. Couldn't tell you, last week was so dreadful I daren't look. Was about 45k the week before though.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      4 years, 10 months ago

      1) It was when I was new to the game and wanted to dive into everything
      2) I've done better since not having a membership

      It's up to you really, if you want to try it and think it can be useful. There are lots of tools, it's up to you to get the right conclusions from it all.

    3. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Genuine, non-biased point of view

      1) Very much so. Ridiculously cheap for what it offers. I'd buy it even if it offered nothing though, just because of all the things FFS offers already + how long I spend on here!
      2) I could get by without it but it's definitely improved my rank. The frequency that I use the stats tables and stuff like the season ticker, it's definitely useful, then you can add in all the members articles etc.
      3) 1.4k

      To be honest I pay for membership every year and use absolutely no members content. I pay as a thank you in some way for the quality and regularity of content to keep the site going, I read more FFS than a newspaper for example

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I have always felt this way previously, but the overall quality has nose-dived this year and the community aspect of the site has pretty much gone now, so am unlikely to pay for membership again.

          Agree to an extent, this season I have felt RMT in the thread has got a little out of control, but even moreso the same question gets posted 1000 times before each gaemweek.

          "who should I put in for Son?"

          I think FFS could combat the latter more proactively by posting more polls on hot topics rather. I know they started to do some adhoc polls but these are few and far between

            Not sure you're ever going to stop the inane questions or RMTs - I was referring more to the output produced by the site itself and the engagement between the site and it's members/posters. Just my opinion though, and I'm sure everyone has their own views on it 🙂

      Been a member last two years, and sure a lot of useful information and statistics. Funny thing is, it has also been my by far two worst seasons in terms of OR. So I'm thinking maybe just as good to keep it simple and loop at official FPL site statistics + fixtures only - total score, form and fixtures.

      1. Pompel

        .. also, keep away from this forum - too easy to be swayed into bad decisions for fickle players like me 😉

        I could see my analysis paralysis get even worse if I had access to those stats - I feel what serves me best is just getting some sense of the consensus on here, and then do what feels best. You guys are at fault for my top 1k finish, no doubt.

      And you’re looking at Spurs, they spent zilch and got the same result 😀

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        And to think he still has Lovren playing in front of him at times. Unbelievable.

        Allison, VvD, Robertson & TAA have made the difference for Liverpool this season.

        Both teams done great, good to see a European revival. Might even see Partick Thistle back in Europe soon.

    3. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      a lot of those shots were straight at Alisson IMO. It was more bad finishing on Barca's behalf

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

    Kompany a worthy alternative if i can't afford Laporte?

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah will play imo

    2. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I think Kompany will start

  12. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    18 points behind in ML, with 2 FT and £1.2m in the bank... any ideas?!
    He has 1FT, and assume he'll replace Son.
    *shows overlapping players

    Him
    Gunn (Ryan*)
    TAA* Robbo* Valery*
    Mane* Son* Sterling* Pogba
    Aguero* Jimenez* Zaha

    Me
    Ryan*
    TAA* Robbo* Valery*
    Mane* Son* Sterling* JWP
    Aguero* Jimenez* Rashford
    (Jota, Doherty, 3.8)

    I was planning Son & Jimenez/Jota for Pogba & Zaha/Bilva, but with 18 points to catch up I need some differentials.

    Depending on injuries, a real gamble could be:
    Robbo, Son, Jimenez --> Stones, Salah, 4.6
    Who do you think should be priority?

    1. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't touch Stones if you paid me

      1. thischarmingman
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        That's what she said

    2. thischarmingman
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Son, Doh > Fraser, Laporte

  13. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is Redmond worth a punt over likes of Long/Arnie/Wilson/Zaha?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes IMO

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes. All good options though.

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  14. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Baines to get a sentimental start for Everton? Digne owner...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Prob not... they must have a testimonial or Jam tickets lined up for him as a thanks instead.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I guess may have been different if a home game and/or they could get 7th...

  15. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who is everyone captaining so far?

    I’m on a Mane but not too comfortable.

    Considering to get Salah and sell Hazard -4 to find it

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Same - I could do Haz/Son to Salah/Bilva which is tempting...

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah!

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah C
      Aguero VC

    4. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      My issue with a LIV mid is that if news filters through that City are 1-2 goals up - the Liv game will go really flat. Would rather cap a city player who hold the destiny in their own hands...

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Golden boot for those mids though?

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Good point - but cant really do it alone. Losing out on a year long competition where they are so close is bound to suck the energy out

    5. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Mane. Might switch to Sterling, just a hunch he's going to go bananas.

    6. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah atm

    7. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Gonna get Sterling and captain him I think

  16. In a Rush
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any thoughts on what to do with this lot please?

    Foster
    Robertson valery shaw
    Salah Jota sterling son
    Agüero Jimenez Wilson
    Ryan martial Bednarek Doherty

    Obvious concerns are son, martial wolves players but I think Salah will play.

    Robertson unlikely to play Wolves according to Liverpool Echo

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Soldier down

    2. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      wait for Klopps presser on Friday, Klopp has already said he will play his strongest lineup, which means Robbo if fit.

  18. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    If Firmino is out and gray is your replacement on the bench, would you take a hit to replace Firmino (could afford any striker) or would you play gray?

    I’m 3 points off my mini league leader.

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

      I'd probably go for it, no idea who'd have the best return though.

    Hi, which is better options? 2FT

    A. Son, Robbo -> Pogba, TAA
    B. Son, Robbo -> Fraser, TAA
    C. Son, Mane -> Salah, Redmond (play Doherty)
    D. Son, CHO -> Moura, Redmond (play Doherty)
    E. Others

    Lloris
    Robbo*, Laporte, Valery

    [Foster, Doherty, Peltier, CHO!]

    Cheers 🙂

    1. All For One

      B

    2. thischarmingman
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm looking at B, but you could prob. do another def>TAA just in case Robbo plays?

      1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Oh, yes I could if I choose Fraser, thanks.

  21. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Leno or Foster...almost as bad a shout as Corbyn or May...

    1. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Leno

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah think so - Foster may let Gomes get some match time...

  22. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years

    RP

    Lloris
    Robertson Laporte Shaw Bednarek
    Salah(vc) Son Sterling(c)
    Rashford Jiminez Gray

    Foster Jota Camarasa Doherty

    I have 0.5m itb and 1ft...

    How does this look for a -8?

    Robertson > TAA
    Son > Masuaku
    Gray > Aguero

    Chasing 15 points in ML and 34 ahead of third...

    1. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Would just -4 with Robbo and Son out

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Think I'd just start Jota and do Robertson to Trent for nothing. No hits that way.

  23. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha, Rashford, Vardy or Wilson as a potential replacement for Firmino

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

      Vardy imo.

    2. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy

    4. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy for me I think

    5. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Leaning towards Rashford

  24. Jamb0
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Jimi + Son -> Vardy + Redmond for free? Yay or Nay?

    1. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Just Son to Redmond for me

    2. timmmuh
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I did Jimi and Son to Vardy and Fraser; so similar thoughts. Good luck

  25. PompeyUpNorth!

    Any ideas for improving this please? 1.3 itb 1 FT
    Foster (Ryan)

    TAA Valery Doh (Bed Duffy)

    Sterling Salah mane Jota (Hoij)

    Jimmy Ag Rash

    Cheers!

  26. All For One
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Doherty to Laporte or Kompany?

    1. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Laporte

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Has to be Laporte. He's just been amazing.

  27. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any ideas here please, my ML rival is 5 points ahead of me in 1st place (he has just 1ft). I HAVE BENCH BOOST & 2ft.

    Rivals Team
    Lloris
    Roberts Doherty TAA
    Mane - Sterling - Son - Pogba
    Jim - Aguero - Ings

    Bench: Ryan, Valery, Jota, Dunk 0.0itb

    My Team
    Lloris
    Valery - TAA - Kolasinac
    Mane - Son - Salah - Redmond
    Jimenez - Agüero - Vardy

    Bench Boost: Foster, Jota, Duffy, Dunk. 1.3M ITB.

    I'm thinking Son >Pogba & Dunk>Shaw perhaps?

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Son>Fraser
      Dunk>Laporte or Kompany

      Wouldn't touch Man Utd defender have gone without a clean sheet for how long?

      1. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Good point, thank you for those >, will consider. Cheers

    2. All For One

  28. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Out: Son, Jota and Robbo (if injured)
    In: Sterling, Redmond and a 4.8 def (-4)

    Sound good?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Looks good

    2. yakirh

    3. Bury94

  29. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    So I currently have:
    Salah (c)
    Robbo
    and Richarlison.
    Odds of each of them playing, and should I take the risk of making Mo my captain?

  30. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Jimenez ➡ obe of those worth a hit?
    If so, which?

    W)ilson
    M)itrovic
    L)ong or I)ngs
    Z)aha

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      not for a hit.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I like Wilson the most but it's not necessary unless you have little to lose

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

      None for a hit imo.

      If you had to though, I'd go Wilson

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't for a hit.

      I like Wilson but Palace have 2 clean sheets in 3 at home, Mitrovic is Mitrovic, Long and Ings may not start - lots of uncertainty with Saints line up, and Zaha has 1 goal all season at Selhurst.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        So you are saying Arnie

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Sorry for being negative, but nope I wouldn't go there either! I'm a bit down on the majority of forwards this week. There is bound to be one that hauls but calling it isn't easy.

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I get you AV. I like a few of them, but only for free. Could do with 3 moves this week, and I might do it anyway because of my rank.

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I know he has had a good season but he's not worth an OBE.

    6. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Looking at Wilson and Zaha, but for free, dunno if i would bring em for a hit 🙂

    7. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson and Zaha for sure, I see goals in that game, I was looking at home and away goals for both teams, Bournemouth are doing well for goals away and cpl the opposite..based on this Wilson edges it for me.
