Sign up for latest FFScout Charity Cup on July 28

The third instalment of the Fantasy Football Scout Charity Cup is now less than three weeks away and already around 40 players have signed up to play. But we want more of you!

Following the success of the first two competitions in February and November 2018, which featured around 80 players and raised over £2,000 for the Melanoma Research Foundation and for Campaign Against Living Miserably, this time we’ll be raising money for the Stroke Association.

Most of you will know that Joe, a much-loved member of FFS and the wider Fantasy Football community, recently suffered a bleed on his brain. Thankfully, after a fairly hellish month, he is gradually returning to normal.

The Charity Cup will be held in the morning of Sunday 28 July 2019 at Whittington Park Astro Pitch in London linked heremeeting at 9:15 am to finalise teams etc. 

The full address is Holloway Road, Islington, London N19 4RS. The closest Tube station is Archway on the Northern Line (8min walk) and the closest London Overground station is Upper Holloway (2min walk).

As always, the precise format (including squad sizes) will depend on numbers but everyone will get decent game-time in a 7 or 8 aside format.

This is real-life football (not an FPL online cup!) with players of all ages, fitness and abilities very welcome.

As with previous tournaments, we’ll be organising players into squads, so you don’t need to round up a team yourself, although feel free to invite guest players to boost the numbers.

If you would like to take part please email peter.kouwenberg76@gmail.com with your contact details and you will be added to the WhatsApp group for further information (unless you state that you would rather receive information by separate email only).

Even if you are not able to play, please donate to the Stroke Association at the Just Giving page which is linked here.

    What are people’s thoughts on this set up 343..

    Pope/4.0
    Robbo/VVD/Digne/4.0/4.0
    Salah/Siggy/Sterling/Fraser/4.5
    Delafeou/King/Jota

      I really like it. Would personally have Tielemans/premium defender instead of Jota/Deu due to fixtures but it looks good

      1. danlynch13
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Ya probably safer option

      2. Andy_Social

        4 years, 8 months ago

        No. If his 4.5 Mid is Donkers at least he has a sub who can get a point or two. With a 4.5 striker to go with his 4.0s he's got nothing to come off the bench at all.

        1. danlynch13
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          True

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      With that bench you're severely restricted when you want to change things up.

        What’s your set up?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Me? A 3-5-2/4-4-2 set up. 2x4.5 defenders rotating and 2x6.5 midfielders.

    Bottomed
    A) Kane, Sigurdsson & Fraser + 1M ITB
    B) Sterling, Rashford & Maddison/Tielemans
    All feedbacks are appreciated

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B but prefer Wilson over Rashford

      1. danlynch13

        Agreed

    Repost of a bottomed post because I think this merits discussion:

    Kanté's points per match average for last season was better than Mata, Noble, Knockaert, Sanchez..

    *and KdB*

    That's not points per match per million, that's points scored on average per game played. I know KDB was injured for much of the season and maybe wasn't in form or at peak fitness in the games he did play, and he got a couple of 1-2 pointers in the games he started and came off injured... but still - is he really worth 9.5m?

    Factor in a little bit of midfield competition from the likes of Rodri (I know he plays defensively but KdB played deep a lot last season) and I am not convinced by him at all. Of course, the signing of Rodri may give KdB more freedom to push up but he will need an amazing pre-season for me to consider him.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I have just found a way to go from KDB to Sterling cause I do think there is still a bit of uncertainty with him due to the injuries. If he shows the form of two seasons ago I will bring him back in but right now I think it is safer to wait and watch with KDB.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I will be monitoring him but a lot needs to change. It's odd to think that if you had Kanté and KdB for the games they were both fit you would have scored more points if you had played the former and benched the latter!

      2. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm currently looking at the same move. I like KDB and I want KDB, but the boring and sensible FPL option is to get Sterling. Likely going to downgrade my Everton mid spot.

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      how many points you think KDB needs to get to be value for money...around 180-190 maybe or even more?

      price wise, the only other 2 players at 9.5 are Son and Sane.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Because you would be unlikely to captain him regularly, I think you would actually need him to score more than 200 points. I agree that there are not many options in the 9-10m range, which is why I think you need to upgrade to captain material or downgrade and invest elsewhere.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Where do you stand on B.Silva? 1.5 less and more nailed but potentially less output.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Ederson and Laporte are cheaper and will get more points. So you wouldn't have him alongside Sterling or KdB.

          2. Make Arrows Green Again
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            He was in my first draft, and my plan for this season is to try to get the two best captaincy options so I can never be massively left behind, and spread the rest of the funds pretty evenly.

            To this end, I think 8.0 is probably the most I would want to spend outside of Sterling and Salah, and Siggy looks a slightly better option at this price point with his fixtures than Bernardo does. I'd try not to be too blindsided by the fact that Bernardo plays for the champions and try to get a talisman for someone else.

            That's not to say that Bernardo couldn't be a blinding pick, however, and I will be keeping a close eye on him 🙂

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Good structure. After those 2 I've spent 9m on Vardy and after that no one's cost more than 6.5m

              1. Make Arrows Green Again
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Great idea. I can't find room for Vardy with the uber defence I'm looking at but I agree he's a great pick. I still might, I just realllly want Siggy!

                I think all the facts point to a little investment going a long way, so 4->6m in defence, 4.5->6.5m in midfield etc. Beyond that you need players who might sig(gy)nificantly outperform their delta, and/or captain picks.

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

      I think KDB could become a good option this season, but I am definitely not starting with him. He hasn't been a good option at any point over the last two years, even when not injured, and so I want to wait for some form before I splash the cash

    4. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      KDB created the same number of Big Chances as Bilva despite playing a third of the minutes...

  4. Riggs
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Team A:
    Ederson (Button)
    Robertson VVD Laporte Digne (Kelly)
    Salah Sterling Zaha Tielemans (Dendoncker)
    King Deulofeu/Jota (Nketiah)

    or

    Team B:
    Ryan (Button)
    Robertson Laporte Digne David Luiz/Azpi (Kelly)
    Salah Sterling Siggy Fraser (Dendoncker)
    King Deulofeu/Jota (Nketiah)

    1. danlynch13
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

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

      A by a country mile.

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

      B

    4. CROCosta

      B

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

      Ryan > Ederson (value for money wise)
      VVD > Luiz/Azpi
      Siggy > Zaha
      Fraser > Tielemans

      Overall, B definitely wins, but would really want to get VVD in there too

      1. Riggs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I am 0.5 short of that team 🙁
        To get VVD < Luiz in that squad B I need to compromise elsewhere.
        1) Deulofeu > Billy Sharp (which is 6.0)
        or
        2) Ederson instead of Ryan and 4.5 (Adam Smith or Dunk or other) > Laporte
        3) Just get budget Brooks instead of Fraser
        I struggle to see other options.

    6. davidfromkent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You realise of course that you have a budget limit of 100 million which both your teams easily exceed!

    7. davidfromkent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sorry RIGGS my mistake i see you are stating alternatives 🙂

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

    Trying to get at least 2 more or less surefire playing bench.

    Lloris
    TAA Walker Digne Bednarek
    Salah DeBruyne Sigurdsson Tielemans
    Aubameyang Adams

    Button Targett Dendoncker Wickham.

    Thoughts?

  6. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Early draft here.

    I think this is the season to go 3-5-2. So little value up front for how much you have to pay.

    Boruc 4.0
    Robertson VvD Holding Elmohamady Rico
    Salah Sterling Zaha Perez Kante
    Kane Pukki Greenwood

    Need help with the defense and keepers. Good 4.5m rotation pairings?

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

      BUR-AVL rotation I've heard is decent. But not sure on the nailedness of C.Taylor with Pieters coming in.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm proceeding on the assumption that Pieters is back up for Taylor. Can't see the former being better than he was when he was getting relegated with Stoke.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      O'Connell, taylor/pieters, Diop rotating for one spot :).. I love it atleast

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Kane and improve Kante and a couple of defenders.

      Not sure about Boruc either.

      1. statenisland
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'd be tempted to downgrade Sterling or Kane to De Bruyne and spend on replacing Kante. I love the Pukki punt and will be on this but only after GW6.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I just switched off Pukki for King after seeing fixtures. But will definitely monitor.

        2. statenisland
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          What I meant was take savings from swapping out Sterling or Kane to get De Bruyne in! I appreciate that Kane to KDB isn't a like for like swap 🙂

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The Goat has bad fixtures, perhaps a price risk.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Who's Shaun Goater signed for?

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

      I think it's the season for 5-4-1.

      The value in premium defenders is greater than the value in cheap defenders, unlike any other position, and the value in defenders is greater than any other position

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Defenders are better rotated purely because you can play the fixtures with them far easier than attacking players since the bulk of their points come from clean sheets.

        But certainly, it's worth investing more in defense this season than in the past.

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

          I read an article that stated very clearly based on historical data that cheap defenders are notoriously bad value. (exceptions the ones that emerge as obviosuly underpriced like AWB/Doherty) Its also very hard to actually rotate them to consistently get results because lower side teams are unpredictable except for the fact that their clean sheets are few and far between.

  7. socho

    Origi to start against Norwich?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years

      I can see it happening

  8. One Man
    • 7 Years

    A...KDB & Wilson

    Or

    B...Kane & Yarmolenko ??

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

      A

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B easily for me.

      Would go for someone other than Yarmo. Perez seems value at 6.5m.

      1. One Man
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Yes, will monitor the 6 or 6.5m midfield option. Something can be always changed once form players come to contention in gamesweek 2 or 3.

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    4 years, 8 months ago

    So, I've been working with the FFS projection data. Interestingly, when you look at some player projections and their last season tally you see some huge differences. Sane, for example, ranks 437 out of 443 players in terms of the delta. Last season 156 points, this season he's forecast 102.

    The top 5 projected points risers are:
    De Bruyne 59 > 165
    Benteke 33 > 123
    Almiron 28 > 116
    Giroud 55 > 134
    Mina 36 > 111

    The ranking doesn't account for players who joined during the Jan transfer window.

    Still interesting...

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      thnx!

      would mean Benteke will have one of his best seasons ever 🙂

      1. statenisland
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, not massively confident in FFS's projections... 😉

        1. The 5% Team
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Sane on for 104 points is a sad outlook, interesting how his season will pan out.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            De Bruyne's the only really believable one there. Mina's depends on minutes as he's not nailed.

    2. MosF94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If KDB is fit for a full season he should be scoring comfortably more than 165 points

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        So he should for his price!

      2. statenisland
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I wonder whether FFS baked in some time on the sideline into his points total

  10. LangerznMash
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    No love for Lucas Moura here? He has goals in him (1 in 3 last season) and will start due to Son's suspension. Basically plays as a forward. Poch must have learnt his lesson from not starting him in Champion's league final, Spurs had little goal threat without his blistering pace.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me with only two guaranteed fixtures and one of them being City away.

    2. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I think I'm set on starting with him. As you say, he is nailed on for at least the first two games where their first fixture is really juicy. After two or three games there is almost always a stand out cheap midfielder bandwagon and by then he is probably expendable.

  11. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Villa just signed Ezri Konsa, officially.

    Me neither.

    1. bhh
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Where does he even play? Would consider if it turned out he was a 4.0 def

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cd. Assume he'll be 4.5 but let's see.

      Central defender, England U21 international.

      Mings, Hause, Chester and now Konsa are our centre back options as it stands.

  12. sean24

    Double City defence, double Liverpool defence, perfect captain rotation between Sterling and Mane, Lucas for an under the radar differential until Son returns! Thoughts?!

    Ederson
    Trent / Van Dijk / Zinchenko / Digne
    Sterling / Lucas Moura / Sigurdsson / Mane
    King / Deulofeu

    Button / Dendoncker / Greenwood / Gibson

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'd have Sterling and Vardy, and sacrifice Lucas to get them, or maybe Siggy.

          Sorry, working and playing here ....

          Ederson, Button
          TAA, VVD, Zink Taylor/Dunk rotate
          Salah, Sterling, Perez, Tielemans, Dendonk
          Vardy, King, Greenwood

            Sorry dont like this team one bit.

      2. The Sociologist
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed, lose Lucas to get Sterling / Vardy

  13. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is KDB really so nailed as everybody thinks?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. But I'm not as sold on him as an asset. Being so injury prone is a real hindrance.

  14. Klein
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How likely is moura gonna be nailed for first 5 games? Back to bench after son comes back?

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Though call. Nailed for first 2. Most likely starts game 3 but after that impossible to tell

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why are people picking Tielemanns over Perez?

    Perez scored 12 goals for Newcastle last year. He moved for 30m to Leicester this season. He's far more attacking, a big money signing and will start for sure as a winger/support striker.

    Tielemanns meanwhile is the same price and plays CM. It's like picking Bernardo Silva over Sterling when they're the same price...

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      More nailed on, Perez could be rotated

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This is yet to be determined depending on pre season.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        With who? Albrighton? Gray? He's not being rotated when he's bought for 30m. Besides, he's quality. Really decent attacking player.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      agree with this

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If you watch the two it quickly becomes apparent. Perez just isn't heavy enough for ff.

  16. mcmd11
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Which option?
    A) KDB + Vardy
    B) Sterling + Jota/Deulofeu

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

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

      Haven't seen question before. But I'd say A

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

      Personally think that Sterling and Vardy are brilliant options and KDB/Jota/Deulofeu are mediocre. Wouldn't really want to be picking between these two options but would say B

  17. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy and Brooks

    Or

    Wilson + Maddison?

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A)

  18. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Best forward for 6.0 or below?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dcl

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ings/Adams

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Locadia is interesting if he nails a place with the new manager

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      DCL. But not a fan of any. Would go 6.5m and pick up Jota, Pukki, King

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

      maybe Adams, but doubt if there are any..

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ings, DCL.
      Wesley I don't expect much from, but he looks suited to the league could do a Benteke

    7. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Slim pickings below 6.5.
      There's DCL, Adams but maybe better get a benchie 4.5 and strengthen elsewhere.

  19. OFord
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on my squad please...

    Alisson
    Vert VVD Laporte Coleman
    Salah KDB Brooks Maddison
    Kane King

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      it's good but not sold on Vert

      1. OFord
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Hmmmm, I did have Digne & Ake, so changed to Coleman & Vert. The logic is he's probs the only nailed on Spurs CB and they had a pretty good defensive record last year

  20. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Could origi be an option, you think he is likely to start in the first few fixtures or no chance?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It's more and more possible the further Senegal progress in AFCON. But it's an early transfer waiting to happen.

    team 1
    ederson
    roberston, vvd, coleman, trippier (kelly)
    salah, kdb, perez, siggy (dendonker)
    lacazette, king (nkeitah)

    or

    team 2
    same but with bilva instead of kdb and kane instead of laca

  24. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who score more over the whole season:

    Siggy or Bilva

    1. buzzkill
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Siggy, easy.

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

      Can be close, but Siggy probably...if on penalties plus setpieces

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Siggy for the minutes alone.

    3. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Siggy

  25. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A. Sterling, VVD, Zinchenko + Dendoncker (only playing benchplayer)

    B. BSilva, Robertson, Laporte + Zaha (can be rotated with Deulo, King, Tielemans depending on the fixture)

    Is Sterling worth 12.0? Thanks.

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling is worth 12m.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        2nd highest price for 2nd highest scorer.

    2. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking at something like A) in my team. Think it's worth it for Sterling.

  26. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Bournemouths fixtures are juicy aren’t they, very nice opening 2.

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      yup... i'll be starting with Fraser and jumping ship to whatever bandwagon takes my fancy

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don't do cs though. Wilson, Fraser or King look the go tos.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yup. Shame brooks is 6.5 i don’t think he’s worth that in all honesty. But i’d like to see him have an even better season as a Welshman, bags of talent. He was my hero last season at 5.0

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Against a pumped up newly promoted team GW1 and a match they probably won't be favourites for GW 2 😉

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        This people are too excited

  27. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Really like the idea of going 4-5-1. Just the non-playing cheap strikers on the bench that are a problem. If someone like Wickham looks like he might get some decent minutes in the PL this season 4-5-1 might be the way I go

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Could be a great strategy, but the big risk is its inflexibility. You can use or easily sell your dead strikers. You may need to take hits or WC if things are going great.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        *can't, I mean

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          ugh, and *aren't.

          Shoot me now 🙁

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years

              Thank you. Now I'm typo-fred. 😉

  28. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Kante or Jorginho?

    Jorginho is allergic to the penalty box but he's on penalties now that Hazard is out and with VAR that could be a large amount.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kante will be playing deeper this year. Jorginho will be deep lying playmaker similar to fabregas’ role, with penalties he should be a gift but wouldn’t be surprised to see abraham/striker take them

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      We know Frank will never drop Kante. We don't know what he'll do with Sarri's chap.

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

    There should be a "Neither" option for the polls about Vardy/Maddison and Zaha/Mili and similar questions picking between players.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      yup

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not going Vardy :O best value striker out there :O

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That must be Wilson and Jimenez no?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Both 1m overpriced for me

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            sorry to @ you, but based on what?

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              My opinion on their value based on how well I think they will do relative to other strikers at different and similar prices

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

          Agreed. If Vardy can keep up his score from tail end of last season he could be gold though. Just not sure its going to happen With him pushing 33 this season and all...

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Doesn’t have to manically press anymore. His record under Rodgers shows what he can do in this system

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford might have a say in that come the end of the season

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

          He had a chance to prove that at the end of last season. Hes not good enough.

          1. The 5% Team
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            and of all the strikers mentioned above (Vardy, Jimenez, Wilson), I feel it's only Rashford who is overpriced

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

              Agreed. He should have been at least .5 cheaper

  30. Lingard’s Shin Guards
