Is Richarlison or Gylfi Sigurdsson better FPL value at £8.0m?

The release of the Fantasy Premier League price list has seen Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson both priced up as £8.0m midfielders.

Everton sit top of our Season Ticker for the first ten Gameweeks of the season and are the only Premier League side to avoid a ‘big six’ club in their opening half-dozen matches, so interest in the Toffees’ Fantasy assets will be keen.

Both Richarlison and Sigurdsson scored 13 top-flight goals last season and recorded their best-ever FPL points hauls.

Given that the Everton midfield duo can’t be separated by price, we will run a direct statistical comparison in the Members’ article below to weigh up the pros and cons of each asset.

As well as the usual goal threat and creativity comparisons, we’ll be assessing their record against ‘lesser’ sides (given Everton’s favourable run at the start of 2019/20) using our new Flat-Track Bully tool.

      I have to say that was my immediate reaction.

    Draft #1:

    Ryan
    Coleman, Zinchenko, van Dijk
    Sterling, Salah, Maddison, Pérez
    Firmino, Jiménez, Ings

    Button, 4.5 mid, 4.5 def, 4.0 def.

    0.0 ITB.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Zinchenko vs Mendy is going to be a very tricky one to gauge and that's enough for me to avoid. 1st time I've seen Firmino too.

      I like the double captaincy strategy with S and S.

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

        Don't really need to "gauge" Mendy/Zinky. Just put Mendy in for now, and if Zinky plays the Community Shield do a switch and save 0.5.

      2. Sune
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        If Zinchenko isn't playing, my plan is Pérez > Townsend to afford a 6.0 def.

  4. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I'm more interested in the Coleman vs Digne debate myself.
    Is Digne clearly worth the 0.5 more or not?

      1. Fpl Richie

        Ha, what a tool I am. Thanks. Even more annoyed I must the cheap member deadline whilst away in scorching Europe.

      Have both. I am. Then you can decide to downgrade either of them for another decent def if there's no cleanies or attacking returns.

    Whilst I am here..
    Anyone picking Chelsea defenders (Luiz or Azpi) in their first drafts? A lot of uncertainty of course, but reasonable fixtures and proven performers.

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not considering them until I see how they set up, where Zouma is and what price he gets, and most importantly whether they return to a back 3 to get the best out of Alonso.

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso is the key for me.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yep - I currently have Luiz. But that puts me in a minority as all Chejsea defenders are 10% owned at best

      Aside from that Mou season they’ve consistently delivered under a range of managers.

      Part of my thinking is to get premium defenders in from a range of clubs. It’ll change of course but this big back 6 has Everton Liverpool City Chelsea Spurs - plenty of attacking potential and minimal exposure to double ups - consistent cs feel probable.

      Lloris/Ederson
      Vvd TAA Luiz Digne Mendy/Trippier

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      No, bit up in the air although I’d expect Azpi to be the guaranteed starter.

    I didnt realise that Siggy had his best goal return in the premier league, last season.

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely interested in him. Become the Siggy of Swansea only for a better team. And on pens!

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years

      Leicester theory... He was in unbelievable form back end of last year. Coleman as well.

    Aston Villa sign Matt Targett for an undisclosed fee

      Of all the fullbacks to start 10 or more games, Only Digne, Trippier and TAA created more chances per 90 than Targett. Courtesy of WHOSCORED

        • 6 Years

        A bunch of those starts for Saints he was left midfield but he is an attack minded defender for sure.

    2. Tomerick

      Who will he be competing with?

        Mighty Neil Taylor. He’s nailed

            But on the other hand: it’s Villa.

  8. Lovren an elevator

    Who's most likely to deliver more attacking returns out of this bunch?

    A. El Mohamedy
    B. Fredericks
    C. Masuaku
    D. Targett
    E. Stevens (sheff utd)

    1. jtreble

      B an C for me.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I have Fredericks in at the moment. He's attacking and likely to be more or less nailed now I think. Targett has some decent stats mind you - he'd be the other I'd look at.

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B is the one to monitor for me

    5. leo_messi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A or D

  9. 3 A
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    If you just want one mid as big hitter who will it be ? And why?

    A) Salah
    B) Sterling

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A) penalties

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling
      They're both so evenly matched but sterling does better on the bonus points and hes just that touch cheaper which could come in handy elsewhere

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A with Bilva for me

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        What does Bilva have to do with it?

    4. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Salah has a busy summer. That puts me off somewhat.

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A - better fixtures, likewise/replacements are around the same price, potential penalties

      B - can be either Aguero, de Bruyne, although I don’t think they will match him

    6. rocrocodile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I think it depends on what you do with your other LIV/MCI spots, and how the funds balance out. Right now, I think Salah/KDB + to LIV defs and Laporte/Ederson looks like the best option. But 3 x LIV defenders and no Salah could be the way to fund Kane.

      1. Pillson
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        This is what I am on

    7. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Currently Sterling - though he feels a bit overpriced

      I’m waiting on Mo to get over Afcon and hoping KdB returns to fitness in which case he could be brilliant value paired with Mo.

      As it stands I’m compensating for no Mo with both Vardy and Kane

    8. Pillson
      • 6 Years

      A. top scorer last 2 seasons.

    9. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A all day (although I am getting both)

      He will want a big season and I expect him to be firing on more cylinders than last season (just a hunch)

      Penalties and lack of rotation competition help to nail it further

    10. leo_messi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A with KDB and Kane looks OK for me atm

    11. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going Salah and kdb.. I just know that when son is fit il want him in and kdb is the perfect swap without leaving me with spare cash

    Siggy is just a very consistent player who averages around 5pts per 90 mins. He has played for three PL clubs and played well for all of them.

    13/14: 72 pts in 1276 mins = 5.07 pts per 90
    14/15: 154 pts in 2682 mins = 5.17 pts per 90
    15/16: 158 pts in 2914 mins = 4.89 pts per 90
    16/17: 181 pts in 3327 mins = 4.90 pts per 90
    17/18: 96 pts in 2257 mins = 3.83 pts per 90
    18/19: 182 pts in 3122 mins = 5.25 pts per 90

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      In the long run yes. But the article pointed out he has a LOT of blanks between those hauls. If you are on board you gotta endure that.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      The one thing that would tempt me to Rich is that he has twice started the season in a blaze of glory.

  11. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I’ve started with Siggy, but pre season will tell more about set pieces, direct free kicks, and most importantly pens.

    That said, not averse to Richarlison, or even the potential double up. That would mean downgrading Digne and finding another 0.5 from defence to upgrade a 7.0 mid.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I'm just waiting for Digne to take a penalty in pre season 🙂

  12. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Ok my turn ! What do you guys think of that ?

    Pope/Heaton
    Robbo TAA Coleman Maguire (if city)
    Salah Sterling Siggy Zaha
    King Giroud

    4 Long Dendoncker Kelly

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t exactly hail Giroud as a king he isn’t that good

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      IF Burnley go back to how they used to defend and IF Maguire goes to city and IF Giroud starts up front then it's ok. Otherwise too many IF's atm.

    3. Canary_Kid
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      VERY similar to mine. I’ve got Ryan, Digne, Gomez and Arnie instead of bur keeper, Maguire, Robbo and Giroud. So yes I like it a lot 🙂

    When Richarlison plays in the 9 position, is he really a false nine?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not at all. Everton never play that system. He just plays striker sometimes. Much better off the wing with DCL to run off though

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

        That's what I thought. A false nine is when they play a midfielder who can't do holdup play at 9. Richarlison is more of a traditional 9 when he plays up there.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      I like it - especially the Deulo pick: definitely has potential to do well

      Not sure re. Mendy personally of all the MCI defs

    I kind of know I should go off the internet when I type 'Adam Smith' into

    - I end up looking up Adam Smith - 'Theory of Moral Sentiments or Wealth of Nations'

    And not the Bournemouth 4.5 defender....

    Thoughts on first draft gents?
    Ederson 4.0
    Robbo Digne Coleman Fredericks Gibson
    Salah KdB Maddison 4.5 4.5
    Kane King Giroud

    Fredericks/Gibson rotation has potential, think they're both bargains if nailed, ones to watch 🙂

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Brave to go with giroud but now without higuain and hazard then someone has to score

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        He's another to monitor I think, 7.0 a steal if nailed, fixtures aren't awful either.

    2. CROCosta
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team, I would not go with Giroud but rather get Zaha or TAA to start with and possibly switch later

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'm quite keen on Chelsea early on, hoping people overlook them because of their first game (which isn't even too bad).

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Saints will likely be dangerous this year with a full Ralphie pre-season under their belts

      Will we get a viable price tag? Any chance of 5.0 or 5.5??

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I think it'll be 6, but hoping for a 5.5
        Bloody loving it! I'm absolutely buzzing with delight.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Just how fitness mad is Hassenhutl? Apparently he loves a really high energy pressing game so personally I’m intruiged to see them in the early gameweeks & reckon they could shine- he seemed a very competent manager -you just never know what way things will go though!

          Ings & JWP are on my shortlist alongside CHO as the only real options in the horrible 6.0 & below attacking bucket

          1. Differential C (Mark)
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            I'm gonna be honest, im not optimistic of our defence. Leipzig's defence stats werent great either.
            He like to push opposing players into traps where his players can overhwelm them and win the ballup the pitch. So expect some quick, counter attack goals. Don't expect high possession percentages. His pholosophy seems to be not "you can concede a goal if you have the ball", its more,"you cant lose the ball if you dont have it"

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              The fitness demands of Ralph is why Ings cant stay fit half the time. Love the guy, hate his cursed glass legs.

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 9 months ago

                Totally agree - apparently if you could design an attacking player to fit into a Hassenhuttl system, they wouldn’t be far off Danny Ings in terms of Pace, work rate, threat etc (and quality - the guy is class)

                But his fitness issues are shocking - it must be so frustrating for the guy to see his career speeding past him the way it currently is, when he knows himself how good he can be when he’s not injured

                Firmly believe if Ings could somehow get 12-15 uninterrupted games he’d be scoring goals for fun, and he has pens etc as well - really hope he stays fit as it’d be great for FPL

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Will you be able to make his 4222 work though? Looked terrible last year

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Full preseason should get us better prepared, and Ralph now has 'his' signings in. Optimistic of how the 4222 is done this season.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          How do you expect him to line up this year?

          1. Differential C (Mark)
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Good question.

            Gunn
            Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand
            Højbjerg Romeu/Lemina
            Redmond Djenepo/JwP
            Adams Ings.

            Is my guess. Preseason to tell us more. I think Adams and Ings will not conpete for one spot, but will play together.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Interesting. Redmond won’t play as more of a striker next to Adams then? Then JWP Djenepo as CAMs with ings on the bench?

              1. Differential C (Mark)
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 9 months ago

                Nah, I think Ralph's idea is more for Redmond to be a creative no. 10, a winger who drifts centrally and created chances. Not as an out and out striker. Che much more adept at that, and I think Ings and Che will compliment each other beautifully.

        They are already behind Ings and Redmond in the pecking order up top I reckon so they just drop further down. Wouldn't be surprised if one is sold

        Austin is linked to Sheffield., I think. Think he is on the verge of leaving. Long, I hope stays, his style of play suits Ralph very much. A young Shane Long would be in the starting XI, I dare say.

        1. juho
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          my bold prediction is that Che Adams will be the Jimenez/Wilson of this season

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Perhaps against my better judgement, I’m pondering the merits of going Ederson/Dendoncker over 4.5GK/6.0 Attacker - it would leave below....

    I’m not 100% on it mind you, but we really need either a decent 4.5 GK to emerge, or a first choice Man City LB to emerge, hopefully soon

    Ederson
    Laporte, TAA, Robbo, Digne, Coleman
    Sterling, Salah, Dendoncker
    Vardy, King
    (Bench: 4x lols)

    1. Tev
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Dendoncker as a starter feels slightly too cheap. How sure on you on Vardy? I'd probably downgrade him to upgrade a mid. Lots of good striker options

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Dendoncker pretty much a 2 points per week merchant as a mid...

        Vardy downgrade is always the other option, but from what i’ve Seen of him under Rodgers he’s not a player I want to be exposed to not having - an injury would actually help make the decision, but if he’s fit I need to crowbar him in unfortunately and make that compromise on he 11th player

        1. Tev
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Fair enough, being willing to compromise like that makes the rest of your team look very nice.
          Vardy was excellent towards the end of last season, I'm just not quite convinced for some reason, 9.0m feels slightly steep.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Ta, you’re dead right though in terms of the Vardy downgrade - Ederson > 4.5 & Vardy > Arnie, Wilson or Jota releases a scary amount of budget (anywhere from 2.5 to 4.0!)

            But I’m just much more excited by the potential of the roster of premium defensive options plus Sterling, Salah, Vardy this year than I am about the mid price attacking assets, including Zaha, Siggy, Rich, Bilva, Arnie, Wilson, Jota, Jimmy, etc. etc... as well as being pretty cold on he prospects of Kane, Kun, Auba etc. etc.

            Hence the big lopsided team structure lol, but will be interesting to see how things go

            1. Tev
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah you've certainly not gone template! Vardy downgrade just looks a bit too tempting for me. Wouldn't change Ederson, City's defence is beautiful and he's probably the most nailed way in. Not overly keen on Laporte at 6.5, feel like people have an over inflated positivity about him because he returned on the gameweeks everyone had him (yes I'm still bitter). Only 5 more goal involvements than Ederson 😉

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 9 months ago

                Laporte is that other opportunity I can see to release the smidgen of budget needed to turn Dendoncker into something better

                And if a first choice LB emerges at Man City that’s a downgrade I’m totally willing to make!

                1. Tev
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 9 months ago

                  Definitely. 6.5m for a CB who's not even 100% nailed (I know he mostly is) is too much for me. There's just not *that* many great value defenders this season, which mean a 5atb basically needs Laporte

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      If you're gonna play 5atb each week then i would have Ederson. That midfielder is not someone you're lookking to get many returns from. Full info I have Ederson anyway.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Do you really want to double up Everton's defence?

      Looks promising the way the finish last year but I will wait and see.

      Of course the dilemma is who to keep.

      But why not heavier in midfielders.
      Only two of them?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah Digne/Coleman aren’t far off the first two names on my team sheet - if Gueye stays - if he doesn’t stay, I don’t think I’ll even have one of them let alone two

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Starting Dendoncker is absolute puke mate

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        It’s certainly not ideal - but the mid range attackers will disappoint many this season I reckon, there’ll be many times when they’re delivering the 2 PPG of Dendoncker but for 2-3m more

        I still don’t like it personally though & need a 4.5 GK to emerge

    5. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I like it
      6.0 mids are meh

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah there are very few bar Ings, JWP & CHO who are all tempting... but Ederson will probably be Mr. reliable

  20. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    For those choosing to permacap Salah,

    Why not Sterling?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Penalties.

    2. Tev
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      No one ever ends up permacapping, remember this chat all pre season last year then everyone (rightly) switched to Kun by GW2 for example, people just use it as a justification for spending so much on one player I reckon.

    3. Pillson
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling last season didn't improve his goals /assists from the year before.

      Salah had a poor season compared to his first season and was still top scorer by 20-odd points.

      Only £0.5MN in them and I think Salah is more liekly to top score again than Sterling is

    4. Godfrey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pep roulette

    5. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pens and some corners. Takes decent free kicks too.

    6. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Salah: less prone to rotation
      Me: less prone to frustration

    7. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      less likely to miss a game?

    8. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pens, less rotation risk. The fact that City now have won two in a row also should see them be a bit less fired up while Liverpool will be going all out.

  21. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Please please please

    Ryan /Button

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yea not bad. Zaha over mad dog for me and you can do better than Cathcart. Dendoncker way more attacking than Hayden. I like what ur up to tho

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Madison is one my favs, he will be season keeper for me.

        Cathcart is just 4.5 so anyone there could replace him and hayden will be warming up my bench.

        Thanks for the input mate!

  22. Hobolicious
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    That release video for Che Adams is a thing of beauty! Hahaha.

    Here’s to hoping he comes in at 6m (and not 6.5m).

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Klopp with binoculars, our media team is class!

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      What kind of striker is he?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Karlan Granr type. Strong, likes to bully defenders, but has pace too. Finishing is great too.
        Aerially maybe he can improve, but I think Ings can deal with the high balls.

    3. Christophe Savage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Good Luck to Che, came on so much last season.
      Is a cheeky 5.5m too much to ask?
      Great first touch, quick, control and turns quickly and finds the bottom corner time and again.

      Of course i'm baised but a great little player, i'll have him to start unless price is silly.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Me too. Nice to have a player who I want and hope does well.
        Nice to see a Birmingham fan who is gracious about this, I've seen a few in social media who, let say, have chosen not to get to terms with the transfer.
        We'll make sure he does well, and has our full support to do well in St. Marys.
        So excited, I'm still giddy about thisit!

        1. Christophe Savage
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          He deserves a crack at the premier and he’s not getting it with us any time soon, i’ll Watch his progress keenly.

  23. alfoir

    A) Coleman + Maguire (assuming City move) + Jota
    B) Digne + Maguire + Ings
    C) Digne + Laporte + Long

    Rest of the team:

    Nyland, Heaton
    Robbo, VVD, Diop, XXX, XXX
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, McGinn, Dendonker
    King, Deulofeu, XXX

  24. The Head-Ake

    She looks good I reckon. Thoughts on this?

    Ryan - (Button)
    Robertson - TAA - Laporte - Coleman - (Kelly)
    Salah - Sterling - Maddison - Siggy - (Dendonck)
    King - Jota - (Nketiah)

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure on Jota.

      Rest looks solid

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Looks inflexible to me. That's the most important part gw1. That and the fixtures of course. But the exact personnel is a lottery with no form to gauge so best to be flexible and ready to adapt as we see some footy and understanding of form

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Essentially identical to mine (below) so I like it!

      Can't see past the 4-4-2 setup

  25. Coys96

    I have King..

    a) Groß
    b) Brooks

    1. Get up ya bum

      Is this a ransom note?

      Brooks

      1. OldBenKenobi

      A

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Of those 2 only I would have to say Brooks for now until we see what Groß is like starting back

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I've decided that's my plan, ta anyway

  26. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone reckon Groß could find some form again after his injury?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely on the watchlist - but need to see it first before paying 6.5... when he’s good he’s good though

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        This. Watch for now.
        Would put Jahanbakhsh on that list too, had decent stats before last season and could come into to the reckoning if Potter likes him.

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      For sure mate. Quality player

      Unsure if he fits new hipster manager style. Would probs play deeper which is a bit gross

    4. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Hoping to see Brighton play with more attacking intent so he is worth keeping an eye on

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      In my team currently, good fixtures worth a punt imo.

    6. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He's definitely got it in him and was disappointed he wasn't able to show it last season. I'll be watching him but will wait on it

  27. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    RP on new article

    I am pretty fixed on a 4-4-2 at the moment, chopping and changing between a couple of options for the last 2 slots. Keen to get some opinions

    Ryan
    Robbo, VVD, Digne, Laporte
    Salah, Sterling, Zaha/ Siggy*, Fraser/ Maddison*
    King, Jota
    (Button) (Kelly, Dendoncker, Nketiah)

    The starred positions are the ones that are open to debate for now. Thoughts?

    Cheers

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      nice.

      I'm considering Maddison + Fraser over Siggy/Zaha

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers yeh those 4 all in the mix. I’m thinking I def want one of Siggy or Zaha but also the more I look at Maddison the more I like him if I’m not getting Vardy so Fraser may be the fall guy

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Fraser over Siggy seems a no brainer to me.. If he stays that is. More attacking team, basically same amount of Points last season, 0.5 cheaper.

  28. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone considering Aguero over Sterling just so you have more flexibilty?
    What I mean is what if one of the premium striker starts well etc. how you going to get them in?
    Interested to hear your take on this...

    1. Tev
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Decent idea but I'd only really be considering Kane as an alternative, who I'd want for GW1.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Awful reason but one of the main reasons I am almost certainly going to start with Sterling over Kun this year is that I did the opposite last year and I think it really can be swings and roundabouts with those 2.

      Each has pros and cons and you just need to decide and go for it

  29. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Maddison could make a mockery of his 7m price tag.

    -created most(99) chances in the league of all the milfs....
    More than Fraser who costs 0.5m more.(Fraser had more big chances)

    1. Tev
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Both were ridiculously good last year. I'm keener on Maddison, purely because Leicester looks so good under Rodgers last year.

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      ...he also has 83 GA's vs 51 of Fraser..also has better min/chance than Siggy...

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I am constantly switching between these exact 2 and also between Siggy and Zaha....
      Not easy working out who to take the initial plunge with!

      Any thoughts on my current draft mate (above)?

      Hoping for a decent season!

    4. CROCosta
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      For sure but fixtures for LEI are quite mixed at the start of season, I will wait until GW9 until getting him in.

    When is RMT going live on members' section?

    Can't wait to check this team:

    Lloris
    TAA, Mendy, Coleman, Dunk
    Sterling, Salah, Siggy, Groß
    Vardy, King

    Button : Dendoncker, Kelly, Wickham

    Planning on rotating Dunk and Kelly, but there is a huge IF on Kelly and Mendy nailing their spots

    Thoughts?
