FPL Team News and Injury Round-up – Gameweek 38

Friday was a busy day on the team news front as 19 Premier League managers delivered their pre-match press conferences.

Maurizio Sarri held a brief presser after Chelsea’s penalty shootout victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, so we have now heard from all top-flight managers as we finalise our preparations for Gameweek 38.

Our match-by-match summary below details the headline injury updates and manager quotes but there is more information to be found in our Team News tab.

Our YouTube round-up of the Premier League pressers can be viewed via this link or in the embedded video at the bottom of the page.

Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Jurgen Klopp said on Friday that Andrew Robertson (calf) and Jordan Henderson (knee) “should be fine” after they picked up knocks in midweek, while Mohamed Salah (head) is expected to recover after training in the run-up to Sunday’s game.

Klopp said:

The famous three words of this week in the dressing room: ‘It’s only pain.’

Very important for all the young lads to learn, I’ve said that already to the boys. Hendo said, ‘It’s only pain’, Robbo said, ‘It’s only pain’ – but it was real pain, wow!

Unfortunately, Robbo could deal with the pain but only the rest of his body couldn’t because he couldn’t really activate the muscle anymore, some nerve hit or whatever.

They should be fine [for Sunday].

Mo looked good around the celebrations after the game, to be honest! The day before yesterday and yesterday he was running outside and will be part of training today.

There isn’t such good news on Roberto Firmino (muscle), however.

Klopp added:

Bobby not [available] for the weekend, but we have time [before the Champions League final] and that should be enough.

Nuno Espirito Santo didn’t report any fresh injury concerns in his pre-match presser.

Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester City

Fernandinho (knee) won’t recover in time to face Brighton but Kevin De Bruyne (muscle) has returned to training in the last few days and could be involved at the Amex on Sunday.

On De Bruyne, Pep Guardiola said:

He trained the last two days with us, part of the training session. Tomorrow we are going to last train. He could [be involved].

About Fernandinho, the City boss added:

He’s not able. Maybe [for the FA Cup final], we’ll see.

Davy Propper (hamstring) and Jose Izquierdo (knee) will miss the visit of City but Chris Hughton said he otherwise had a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Manchester United v Cardiff City

Eric Bailly (knee) remains on the sidelines and Romelu Lukaku (hamstring) is expected to remain out, while Alexis Sanchez (ankle) is a fresh injury concern after picking up a knock in the 1-1 draw with Huddersfield.

Sergio Romero (knee), Mason Greenwood (unspecified) and Jesse Lingard (knee) have been pictured back in training and could all return to the matchday squad, with Greenwood potentially in line for a start given his manager’s comments today:

We’ve had some young players knocking on the door all season and we’ll start with one or two of the kids.

Antonio Valencia leaves United in the summer and could be involved for the final time on Sunday.

Solskjaer said:

He’s not been fit the five months I’ve been here, unfortunately. He’s really struggled but he feels that he could play a part, yes, and I would hope that he gets through today and tomorrow and we could give him a nice send-off.

Asked about Ander Herrera‘s availability given the speculation surrounding the midfielder’s future, the United boss added:

He might play. I don’t know yet, we haven’t picked the team. He’ll probably announce himself later on where he’s going to continue his football.

Anthony Martial was also listed as a doubt by the United website after missing out last weekend.

Harry Arter (calf) and Victor Camarasa (dead leg) remain major doubts for the trip to Old Trafford.

Neil Warnock said:

Victor [Camarasa], I’m desperately trying to get him fit. It’s a nasty dead leg. I was gutted when he went off last week. He just looked back to himself in that first ten minutes. We thank Harry [Arter] for all of his efforts this season.

Victor, he’s been struggling all week, I can’t see Victor making it. But you just don’t know with Victor. I don’t think Harry has any chance.

Tottenham Hotspur v Everton

Mauricio Pochettino is down to the bare bones for Sunday’s match against Everton, with Harry Kane (ankle), Harry Winks (groin) and Jan Vertonghen (ankle) injured and Son Heung-min and Juan Foyth suspended.

Danny Rose (hamstring) and Victor Wanyama (thigh) will be assessed after picking up strains in midweek, while Davinson Sanchez (thigh) is “continuing rehab” and is also set to be unavailable.

Serge Aurier (hamstring) is back in training, at least.

Asked about Vertonghen’s availability for the Champions League final in June, Pochettino said:

We need to assess. I think it is not a big issue because he finished the game but it’s true that now his ankle is swollen. We hope it is not a big problem.

Richarlison (rib) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (knock) are out of Sunday’s clash, while Seamus Coleman (groin) will be assessed.

Marco Silva said:

[Calvert-Lewin] is not able to play the next match. It was a kick in the training session, nothing special.

Let’s see if Coleman also can play or not, he will be a doubt, let’s see if tomorrow will be. Small problem in his groin.

The situation with Richarlison, he came out the last game with a problem in the rib. He will be out the next game, definitely.

Southampton v Huddersfield Town

Maya Yoshida (illness) remains out for Southampton but there was positive news from Ralph Hasenhuttl regarding the Saints’ key FPL assets.

Hasenhuttl said:

We have still one game to go. We will have a few changes and change back to the shape we were playing before, with the players that played before. That means that Angus [Gunn] is playing at the weekend again.

Erik Durm (glute) won’t feature at St. Mary’s while Zanka (illness) hasn’t been able to train properly and Chris Lowe has what his manager described as a “small problem”.

Crystal Palace v Bournemouth

Scott Dann is a fresh injury doubt for Palace this weekend.

Roy Hodgson said on Friday:

We’ll have to assess Scott Dann tomorrow because he left training today feeling a slight strain. That’s the only one that could possibly be added to the ones we’ve had for the last few weeks.

Eddie Howe is without nine players on Sunday and said:

David Brooks will miss out. None of the players that were unavailable last week are back.

Howe also explained why Asmir Begovic won’t be involved this weekend:

We decided to play Mark [Travers], we rested Asmir. He’s been given the final week of the season off to spend some extended time with his family.

Leicester City v Chelsea

Brendan Rodgers didn’t report any fresh fitness concerns in his pre-match press conference on Friday but Daniel Amartey (leg) remains out.

Speaking of Chelsea’s injury situation on Thursday night, Maurizio Sarri said:

We lost [Andreas] Christensen, we lost [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek. We started the match with three injuries, two injuries during the match. Not a serious problem [with Loftus-Cheek], he had the usual cramp after 75 minutes.

For sure it will be very difficult for Sunday but we need to consider that our best match, in my opinion, was against Tottenham, three days after 120 minutes in the cup final against Man City. Now it’s more difficult because we played 61 matches.

We need to rest. Unfortunately, we have to go to the United States to play a [friendly] match and then we have ten days to prepare the match.

It is not easy to recover after a match like this, especially mentally. Physically I think that we can recover, not 100%, but we can recover. Mentally it will be very difficult.

Burnley v Arsenal

Unai Emery didn’t provide any fitness updates in his pre-match press conference but Sead Kolasinac reportedly picked up an injury in the win over Valencia on Thursday and maybe a doubt this weekend. 

We will hopefully be provided with an updated medical bulletin by Arsenal ahead of Sunday’s deadline.

Speaking on Friday, Emery said:

We arrived home at 6am and today we cancelled training because it’s important to rest. Tomorrow we are going to prepare the match for Sunday. I am going to decide with the players who are hungry and in good physical condition to play this match.

Sean Dyche confirmed that Phil Bardsley (gashed leg) is fit to be involved but added that James Tarkowski has missed training sessions this week as his partner has given birth.

Aaron Lennon (knee) is unlikely to feature and Steven Defour (calf) remains out.

Watford v West Ham United

Etienne Capoue (groin) returns for Watford this weekend.

Speaking of the Hornets’ injury situation, Javi Gracia said:

In this moment we have Domingos Quina and Sebastian Prodl injured and the rest of the players are available. We recover Capoue, last week he was injured and he will be available for the next game.

Asked about possible rotation ahead of the FA Cup final, Gracia said:

All my players are ready to play. All the squad and me, as well, are only focused on this game. In this moment, we prepare as best as possible the next game and after we have enough time to prepare the final, as well.

Sometimes you think it is better to rest some players and after it is not the best decision. I prefer to take decisions thinking only of the next game. The next game is important.

The players can be injured in a training session out of the ground, you never know. It is better to keep the same attitude and try to win the next game.

Felipe Anderson and Declan Rice have recovered from illness while Robert Snodgrass is available again after serving a one-match ban last weekend.

Andy Carroll (ankle), Andriy Yarmolenko (Achilles) and Winston Reid (knee) remain out.

Fulham v Newcastle United

Injury updates were thin on the ground in Scott Parker’s press conference on Friday, with talk dominated of his permanent appointment as manager.

Denis Odoi (concussion) could be back in contention on Sunday, however.

Ki Sung-yueng (knee) is the latest addition to Newcastle’s injury list.

    Leading mini league by 7pts and 11pts from nearest challengers. They each have Aguero + 1 city (Sterling and Laporte). I only have Aguero.

    Seriously considering the following:

    Hazard + Doherty > Sterling + Kompany (-4)

    Should I just do Doherty > Kompany? Not enough itb to only do Haz > Sterling for free.

    Will be doubly tempted if I can see they've taken a hit too. Thoughts?

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

      Doherty to kompony only.
      Keep Hazard

        Cheers

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      if you're leading by 7 is your nearest challenger not 7 points away?

      if you can see that theyve taken a hit too then yes, otherwise id just get Kompany

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

        Yep exactly. I’m leading with guy in 2nd 7pts behind me, and third 11 pts behind me

  2. salazar1963

    Who starts, Sunday? Origi or Sturridge?

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

      Origi. Can't see why not.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Based on performance Origi but Klopp will have his tactics vs a five man defence and that will affect who he thinks will suit that tactical approach. Which player against a packed five man def is best suited, will Klopp prefer Mané to be striker which leaves origi as the best option out wide, will he think Sturridge positional cleverness and vision is best suited alongside Mane and salah? Or will he have the pace and physique and also press play that is origi? My guess is Sturridge, but not based on much really.

  3. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    a) Mane+ Haz + Long
    b) Salah + Redmond + Jiménez
    c) Pogba + Mane + Jiménez

    Really struggling this week! Got 2 free transfers. Son replacement seems like a bit of a lottery and for the second I was thinking about improving a gk. any advice would be gratefully received! Cheers

    Etheridge (boruc)
    Taa, Doherty, Laporte (luiz, Bednarek)
    Mane, son, sterling, Eriksen (hojberg)
    Aguero,wilson, jiminez

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

      How about Erik and Son to Mo? Not sure what change that gives you. If you can’t reach JWP you could play Hoj or even go McNeill.

      I’d leave Etheridge in if only for save points

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gd shout. Didn’t think of that. Cheers!

  5. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Bilva or Vardy?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      But I do like Bilva a lot too

    3. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Would you get both in for a hit and bench either Jimi/Jota or JWP?

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      No hit? If taking hit, depending on the other pair swap. In my case, Vardy Fraser or B Silva Wilson and I prefer the former.

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I am getting rid of Son and Firmino if I do this. Currently if I get rid of one I am playing JWP, Jota and Jimi

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Firmino Vardy then

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Or bringing both for a hit if you dare

          1. Fernando Torres
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I am 7 ahead in ML with rival having TC (he will TC Sterling) whilst I am capting Aguero

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Ok tough hey. Pick the one most potentially explosive and probably don’t take any hit. Vardy?

              1. Fernando Torres
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                Yh makes sense. Vardy more explosive than Bilva?

                1. Magic Zico
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  On second thought, you have opportunity to block your rival by bringing in Sterling? Sterling Wilson in possible?

                  1. Fernando Torres
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 10 months ago

                    I have Sterling just not capting him. He has Wilson and I dont

                    1. Magic Zico
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 10 months ago

                      Cool, back to the start Vardy

                      1. Fernando Torres
                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 10 months ago

                        Haha thanks! So youd definitely rather play all of Jimi/Jota/JWP than get Bilva for a -4

                      2. Magic Zico
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 10 months ago

                        He needs to do more than a goal to benefit, possible but tough

    5. Cantonascollar7

      Vardy

  6. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Morning. 25 points ahead of ml rival. 1ft, so:

    A - son to redmond / Fraser
    B - as above, and jimi to vardy (-4)

    Ta !

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Redmond has the fixture. Both high scoring potential though. Jimmy to Vardy for a hit feels very punty indeed! I like it but not sure I'd do it for a hit personally.

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

        Thanks, yeah it is a bit punty

      B

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I don't understand your thinking. Why don't you just swap Son for Pogba and play Hojberg?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Poggy perhaps, but Hoj is fodder material - happy for him to be bench backup only. I have 2FT too.

        But TBH I'd rather downgrade Son to fund Hojbjerg > Redmond than get Pogba (would mean Quaner on the bench, Robbo doubt and not much room for manoeuvre to cover famous GW38 rotation- ended up with just 10 players last season after a hit!)

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Son Hoj > Redmond + someone

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Redmond + 7.5 is possible. I like it but concerned about heavily Final day rotation and a super light bench (Quaner, Robbo doubt)

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          If the United leaker posts early I'd maybe look at Son + Q > Pogba + Greenwood.

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years

    49 points behind my ML leader (which I’m quite bitter about as I had the lead for 30 weeks).
    I’m on a free hit and have the ideal City and Pool heavy team.
    I was just thinking, is it worth going for a team of differentials to really go out with a bang? Avoid all the obvious picks that might blank and really mix it up? Would you?

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Soton and West Ham

      1. BananaMan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        and Fulham

    2. BananaMan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Might as well mix it up, if you are picking players your opponent has there's no chance of a 50pt swing.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      You'll have to get all the key players that your oppo doesn't have - and hope. 49 points is a huge ask though. Try to pick differentials who at least have the chance of a big score - Digne for instance. Good luck.

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I’d go something like this. You need one or two bankers anyway I think.

      Ederson
      TAA Walker Digne
      Redmond Babel Mo Lucas
      Arnie C Wilson Vardy

  14. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    C Vardy too ballsy?

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

      Tempted as bringing him in for a hit, captaining would cover it

      1. barracuda

        Glad I am not the only one.

      It's a safe move i guess with current form.

    Jimenez is gonna score and Vardys gonna get a red arent they

      😉 always possibility

    1ft -

    A) Duffy > Kompany
    B) Son > Bilva (or other)

    Foster (Ryan)
    Taa Valery Robbo* ( Doherty, DUFFY)
    Mane Sterling Deulofeu Jota (Son)
    Aguero Rashford Jimenez

    After transfer I would bench either Jimmy or Jota.

    16 points ahead in ML

    Current team:
    Lloris Gunn
    Laporte TAA Doherty Masina Kelly
    Salah Hazard JWP Babel Son
    Aguero Jimenez Gray

    2nd place current squad:

    Kepa Boruc
    TAA Laporte Shaw Jonny Bednarek
    Salah Hazard Son Maddison Redmond
    Jimenez Wilson Zaha

    Should I go

    A) Son and Jimi to Fraser & Vardy - 4
    B) Son and Gray to Redmond (already have JWP) & Vardy - 4
    C) Son to Pogba/Redmond/Fraser/Tielemans?

    Many thanks in advance!

    I think I need a bit of a reality check here.

    Looking at the scout squad, there is almost zero love for Wilson and Fraser...am I completely overestimating their potential away to Palace?

    I have Wilson. One of my potential transfers is Son to Pogba but I’m more likely to go to Fraser and double him up with Wilson.

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

      I wouldn't double up but I'm happy to play the one I have. In fact I just got Fraser in.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson in for Jimi for me

  19. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Start 2:
    A)Ward Prowse
    B)Valery
    C)Raul
    D)Jota

    Currently on A and B, but feels wrong :/

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Why? Seems logic...

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Jota 1st sub

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        It does, but both Jota and Raul has done well against the top teams. Peronally not that confident Soton will destroy Huddersfield. But yeah, it makes sense.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Just play the fixture.
      AB

      1. Cantonascollar7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Agree A and B for me

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Ty!

  20. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Which combo do you fancy most for the final showdown

    A: Redmond + Jimenez....already have JWP if that makes a difference

    B: Fraser + Jimenez

    C: Redmond/Fraser + Rashford/Mitro/Zaha/Vardy/Wilson (-4)

    If C, which forward Q chose?

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Redmond & Wilson

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Redmond Vardy

  21. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Which team looks better for this week?

    A.
    Etheridge
    TAA Laporte
    Mane Eriksen Pogba
    Long Jimenez

    B.
    Lloris
    Doherty Valery
    Hazard B.Silva Deulofeu Jota
    Wilson

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      A
      Just though. Close call imo

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Would you take a hit and cover TAA from team A if you're defending a 3 point lead?

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

          Robbo out ??
          Yes then
          I'm not sure about Robbo this gw (owner*)

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Both have Robbo.
            I could do Duffy > TAA for a hit

  22. BananaMan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    With a 37pt lead is it worth taking hits to cover my closest opponents dangermen??
    -8 to bring in Aguero & Wilson for example??

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      You're probably safe anyway. It depends how much OR is important to you.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      No. You're safe as houses.

    3. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Also depends on who you are losing to get them? I find if you start looking back, you end up going backwards. Guess 38 isn’t the worst week to start covering tho

      1. BananaMan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I'm getting rid of Firmino, Son & Jimenez.

  23. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Your captain?

    I'm currently punting on Redmond - talk me out of it?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Redmond (TC)

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Redmond

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Better options at teams with something to play for.

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

      I would normally put forward a suggestion but since I captained Duffy, I am no longer in a position to judge wild selections!

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe the second time will pay off the first error 😉

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          He’s firmly on the blacklist for the foreseeable. A list that does include Redmond, for different reasons tho

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Mane or TAA

    6. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling or Salah.

  24. Federico
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Which one do you prefer?

    A) Jimenez - Fraser
    B) Jota - Wilson (bench Son)
    C) Tielemans - Vardy (-4)
    D) Jimenez + any other 8.9 mid

    I'm 0.1 off Fraser + Vardy, unfortunately. Also tripled up on Soton, so can't do Redmond.

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

      Oh, actually can't afford B. Only 6.6 available.

  25. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Would you do any of these for a hit?

    Lacazette->Vardy
    Jimenez->Zaha
    Jota->Redmond

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Jota Redmond if you must

  26. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    If Robbo doesnt play Duffy will have to come on..

    Would you

    a) Som & Robbo > Mane & Laporte (-4)
    b) Son > B.Silva

    I'm leading my mini league by 24 points, my nearest rival has both Mane & Laporte.

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I think both moves have there merits. A looks fine, probably going to do well out of it and closes 2 dangers to your lead for very little expense. Guess it depends, do you feel the rest of your team is looking stronger than theirs to make the more defensive move?

  27. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Would you go for a hit there

    Llorris
    Robbo/Laporte/Shaw
    Mane/Eriksen/Jota/Deulofeu/Pogba
    Jimenez/Kun

    Gunn/Doherty/Dunk/Firmino

  28. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Give me a player most likely to haul this week as a punt. Someone out of the norm.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Deulofeu is a dark horse imo

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      We'd all like to know that wouldn't we. Deeney?

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Either a red card or brace.

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

      Redmond
      Deulofeu
      Zaha

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

      Babel

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Mitrovic Perez Antonio

  29. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    The amount of crosses cpal have conceded from their right flank in last 6 weeks are horrendous. So much for Wan bisaka and his defensive abilities.

    Fraser could have a field day.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      ...Cpal most SoT conceded and most SiB conceded in last 6...

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson (c) worth a punt?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe.

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Don't think so. Bournemouth are very unpredictable.

  30. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Leading ML by 12 pts

    Lloris Foster
    Robertson Laporte Valery Doherty Dunk
    Mane Sterling Son Jota Hojbjerg
    Aguero Wilson Jimenez

    0.9 ITB

    Son to which one Pogba/Redmond/Fraser/Babel?

    Anything else needed or worth taking a hit for?
