FPL Community Questions: Live Stream

Our twice-weekly live streams continue with a community questions special this afternoon.

Joe and Neale will be on air on our YouTube channel from 12:30pm BST but you can also tune in via the embedded video below.

This will be converted into podcast format after the event.

Yesterday we put out a request for questions via a Hot Topic and Twitter and we’ll be addressing some of those topics today.

Giggs Boson asked about Bournemouth assets and we’ll be looking at the Cherries, along with Leicester City players, in our latest mid-price price bracket analysis.

Bambi wondered if 5-3-2 is too inflexible should an early bandwagon emerge and we’ll be sharing our views on that, too.

With the ‘going big in defence’ strategy gathering momentum, two relatively overlooked premium forwards are also discussed.

We’ll be filming another one of these videos on Thursday lunchtime tackling more of the requests that were submitted on our site or on social media.

Keep your requests coming in for topics of debate in the meantime and we’ll get through as many as we can before the season begins.

    New Player added to FPL

    Byram - DEF - 4.5m - NOR

    Club change:

    Delph - MCI to EVE

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Delph to play as dm?

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

        Delph to play with himself on the bench, is my guess.

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          😀

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

          If Delph is a starter Everton have rocks in their heads

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It’s a wait and see with Balles Delphine

      3. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        They got him to cover Gueye going to PSG.
        I hope I am wrong!

    2. Fpl Richie

      Byram won't be a starter - Aarons cover I suspect

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

        Yeah can cover Lewis at LB too. Great signing for them

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

          Hang on, RAVEL MORRISON???? Blades 'ave 'im. Make it 1m, he's still not for me.

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

    Pretty happy with this Salah/Sterling/Kane team.

    Pope (4.0)
    Van Dijk - Digne - Cathcart (Balbuena - Kelly)
    Salah - Sterling - Fraser - Perez - Norwood
    Kane - Giroud. (Wickham)

    Giroud currently a placeholder because I don’t know who I fancy out of the sub 7m forwards. Ings/Adams/Wesley would allow Norwood to be upgraded. Norwood looks okay to start with if he takes the #10 role and some set pieces.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good

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

      No Vardy, no party.

      1. Kimmich
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I like Vardy, think he’ll do very well. Kane puts me in a good position to pick him up whenever.

    3. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Go with King for first two

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      youll never captain kane, waste of £

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        GW 3 looks a prime captaincy option

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

          Sterling away to Bournemouth in GW3 is a TC option

          1. Tommytour
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            City only won 1-0 last year

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

            TC away, no thanks

            It really isn't.

          4. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            You'll have to excuse me if I'm wary about your TC advice after last season.

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

              Lol

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Kane can hurt but as you say we need evidence to make him C.
        I fear FPL towers have done too good a job this year with pricing; apart from the fact Pool defenders are too low and will create bandwagons.

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

      Boy that defence really suffers as a result

      1. Kimmich
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Van Dijk - Coleman - Zinchenko is possible with -Digne -Giroud.

    Hey all, does anyone know the code for top 1k in any season league?

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

    Not to make Irons/Hammers fans mess themselves, but Steinberg (Guardian) and a few others are suggesting some last minute hijacking attempts on Haller move.
    Dortmund apparently - but nobody is quite sure.

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

      Oh and Inter apparently. Yikes!

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

        Wish they’d just get lukaku already

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Me too.

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

    As much as Origi looks a great £5.5m option for GW1 against a weak Norwich defence, after that you have a big problem owning him. Mane and Firminho likely start GW2 over him, transferring him out will require -4 point hit (2 transfers) due to the price bracket. Only hope would be seeing if Andone becomes Brighton's 1st choice for a free transfer.
    Too much uncertainty for my liking, especially when I have other punts to sweat over.

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

      I agree maybe we should all be WCing in GW3 :O

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone picking Origi needs to be prepared to play their WC early but they could hit the ground running if he hauls GW1. Wouldn't be surprised if he started GW2 as well.

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

        Season starts in three and a half weeks and his previous season still hasn't ended. Could see Origi starting GWs 1 and 2 quite easily.

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

      Locked in. Plan to wildcard in GW2 anyway

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

        :O more extreme than me what you doing

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

          Only joking! It is always my goal to wildcard just before Xmas, round GW16 or so. Haven't achieved it yet and rue it constantly so hopefully this will be the year. I am personally not going for any question mark players in my team. All proven performers.

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I am not doing it but there is a way round it. 2 ways actually.
      1) have 12 decent players for starting 11 and save the tfr.
      2) Wildcard early. A lot will be doing after week 4

  8. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Haller looks like a good fit for the PL. He’ll come in 7mil we reckon?

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe 7.5? He's going to be the main striker at West Ham with no real rotation worries. Could be an interesting option, I've not seen him play but reports are that he's very good.

    2. pokern1nja09
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      6.5 I’d guess

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

      7/7.5m.

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

      7 or 7.5

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I am considering holding a place for him using Giroud - if he is over 7.0 I wouldn't want him anyway

    6. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Anything less than 7.5 is silly. He's incredibly good.

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

        Anything more is sillier as Chelsea strikers are priced at 7.0

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

          Only 1 of their 3 has been actually. May end up higher than that

    7. Totally Hammered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Late bid come in from Inter Milan deal not over the line yet.... 🙁

  9. penman26
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    7.5 i think

      They made the chair more interesting than the player.

      Love it. Great club and a humble city with decent people. Only place I've ever lived with virtually zero tories - which is a relief.

          What's your tip? Mrs Anzhi has a sweet tooth 😉

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

              Also worth swapping out the 2 eggs for 2 bananas and the butter for flora freedom please it hurts x

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

                True . Bananas and flora freedom would hurt.

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

                  :O ban couldn’t be less true

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      That's a lovely chair - good strong wicker

      The bloke that sat on it doesn't do it any favours though

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

    A) Sterling, Giroud, Coleman
    B) KDB, Vardy, Digne

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

      B

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

      B

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B because Vardy and def prefer Digne vs Coleman

    4. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys! It was pretty clear

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Tinkering with a placeholder version of 3 up top and maintaining a solid mid and come up with this. Constructive criticism welcome:

    Ryan/ Heaton
    TAA, Digne, Zinchenko, Aké
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy
    Vardy, King, Giroud
    (4.0) (Hayden, Dendoncker, Kelly)

    The main issues I see are the weakness of the defence but it isn't awful imo.
    Giroud is a placeholder for Haller is he comes in at 7.0 or under.

    Thoughts?
    Cheers 🙂

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like it. Nice team.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate

        Really my only hesitations are not having Robbo/ VVD alongside TAA and whether Zinchenko is good enough

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If Giroud starts every week for Chelsea he's going straight in my team.

  13. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How is she looking? Tight at the back and a bit light up front, but still pretty good looking overall, right?

    Ryan
    TAA Robertson Laporte Digne
    Salah (C) Sterling Siggy Zaha
    Deulofeu DCL

    Subs: Button Dendoncker Hayden Kelly

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Oh I have King and not Deulofeu btw

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zaha DCL > 6.5's

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Agree with this ^

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

      Not a fan of Ryan, DCL...

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        As Long as Everton dont sign a new strikker DCL could prove to be decent value. Will upgrade him when/ if I find a cheaper alternative to Laporte in the City defence

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

      Why is Ryan in nearly every team. Brighton relegation favourites surely

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheap, decent fixtures, hopefully save points. Most of the 4.5s are rubbish and the decent ones like Pope/Heaton don't have a 4.0 backup in case of injury or suspension.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          3 home fixtures in first 5 is hard to argue with. Its not like he is a good option. He is just the best of a bad bunch

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

        I've been arguing this for weeks. Even if they stay up by scoring more goals than last season, Potter's teams can't defend. Most of those on the Ryanwagon compound their mistake by jumping on the Buttonwagon. Makes much more sense if you're going cheap to have Pope or even Gunn.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not a fan of rotating 4.5 keepers. Those with Ryan and Button have them to save money.

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

            Save money and save points too

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

      Pretty much the 'template' team.

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

    A. Ederson, VVD, Tielemans/Perez or
    B. Pope, Robertson, Moura ?

    In B Moura to Zaha/BSilva/Anderson/Willian after GW2....

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B love the Lucas move

  15. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Sebastien Haller is a real exciting addition to the PL and FPL. Goalscorer and provider.. West Ham's transfer business under DOF Mario Husillos has been mostly excellent.

  16. mikeycee93
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A - Fraser & Vardy
    B - Maddison & Wilson

    Obviously by doing B i save funds for elsewhere

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hard to judge without knowing what you would use the cash for in B but not knowing that I would have to go A

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser Wilson > Maddy Vardy GW3

  17. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Bournemouth and Leicester playing their first friendlies of preseason today so get ready for everyone to change their assets to the ones that score.

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

      Will Maddison be in Leicester squad or still on leave after Euros?

  18. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    My current team has kane, Salah and sterling, and it doesn't look too bad to me. Am I making a really obvious error by going for 3 big hitters?

    Pope
    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Perez Jorginho
    Kane King

    Kane to vardy frees up 2m to reinvest, is that more sensible? Jorginho to zaha looks good if he starts the season, other than that I can't see any major upgrades.

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only Jorginho the weak link tbf

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      That's not bad at all actually. I prefer the balance of just having two of them but if you really want all three that's about as good as it gets.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, its about what will score more points. Jorginho facilitates kane (who will score more points than vardy if he stays fit), but does zaha over jorginho more than make up for that.

        Other option is:
        Kane, digne and jorginho to...

        Vardy, Coleman and moura

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

        I concur. Quite jolly good if that zingchenko starts. Would also much prefer Coleman and Robbo over VVD and Digne. How's your bench looking, chap?

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          The usual suspects

          Button Kelly Dendoncker Greenwood

          Obviously will change it if cheap starters appear during pre season

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

      It's actually alright apart from Zin and Jorg

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Zinchencko is wait and see, could be golden

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

          Perhaps, but he's in your team 🙂

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years

            That isnt fixed til the start of the season

      I assume you've got zilch on the bench. I would go Kane > Vardy to upgrade Jorg to a 6.5.
      If you need cash for playing subs, Digne could > Coleman.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        The difficulty I've got is that if I put vardy in I'll have double leics (not keen on double) so would ideally want to change Perez but arent many attractive 6.5m. Also upgrading jorginho to a 6.5m adds to that issue (the two best in my opinion are Perez and tielemans).

  19. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    is it worth it having a premium player without captaining him at all?

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

      Not if it means you have to start players like Jorginho every week

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

      2 seems fine to me at the start

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You need two for captaincy option in my ability, perma captain is a tough one.

      4 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t get why it wouldn’t be. “I have Salah who I will captain every week so no point in owning Kane”. If he is scoring you points what’s the issue?

    5. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      As long as you make up the 200+ pts you lose by not owning him.

  20. twoplustwo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason for lack of Mane love? Sure makes getting Sterling a bit easier.

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

      Pens, some corners and free kicks. Salah definitely justifies the extra

      Thanks chaps, Mane-tinted glasses after owning last year instead of Salah

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

        The one million gap is too close to justify dropping Salah.

    How my latest team after the change of Holebas to Trippier and Robbo to VVD? Good to go guys? Appreciate the comment

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I see a Lot of teams with Zinchencko in IT and most only have fodder 4.5 midfielder to cover.. are people seriously willing to take that risk? I thought the point was to get sure starters from the get go

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

      I will personally be doing that, with a view to spreading the funds after my first wildcard and getting a solid bench.

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The bench that is, not with Zinch.

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

      With a month to go, it's a fair assumption he'll start. If he doesn't there's plenty time to amend.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If you build your team around a 5.5 defender and might need a 6.5 (for city cover and safety) you will need to restructure a lot if it turns out he is not a regular. I rather plan for the most expensive options and be positive surprised than the other way around. But were just thinking differently I suppose.

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      They are only temporary drafts at the moment. We will all be watching ore season and the community shield to see if he is first choice come the start of the season. If it’s still unclear then I’m sure most will ship.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        But do most have a back up plan in that case?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I do. I think you have to have a plan B in this case.

      2. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        5.5 Trippier will be better option for spurs run

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

      You should definitely have cover for most of the downpriced options. I see a lot of teams squeezing in many premiums by having Zinch, Perez, Yarmo etc. You cant have these players with no bench or youre taking a large risk. Personally I have a 6.0 striker/mid first on the bench. feels safer.

  23. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Afternoon,

    I've been focusing mainly on formations with 4 or 5 at the back but came up with this 3-4-3 which looks quite nice. Only downside is having only one viable sub.

    Keen to hear your opinions - thanks.

    Ederson
    Robbo - TAA - Digne
    Salah - KDB - Zaha - Perez/Tielemans
    Vardy - King - Deleufeo

    Button / Dendoncker - Rico - Kelly

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

      VVD got 200+ points vs. Deu's 133

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He has Robbo/TAA/Salah

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

        Over 38 weeks maybe. Wait till those goals go in early door and CS are wrecked.

        Balls of steel will melt.

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

      It's excellent, but the weakness you point out is serious, but can be easily rectified.
      Robbo or TAA > VVD and/or Digne > Coleman frees up cash to strengthen your bench.

    3. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Bit worried about Zaha. There's some uncertainty around his future, and he has said he wants to move. I'd be worried as an owner. Kelly is probably the most likely of the two 4.0 defenders to get gametime.I think Deeney is better value as he's also on penalties.

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

      How's this for a team of proven performers? Not sure about the dubble Leicester but the rest are no-headache picks. Thought about King for a long time but I started the season with him last year and he was infuriating so I'm staying clear.

      Pope
      Robbo - TAA - Coleman - Dunk
      Salah - Richarlison - Perez - Maddison
      Aguero - Wilson

      (4.0 - Romeu - Diop - Surridge)

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

        Whoops didn't mean that as a reply

      2. The Wise Owl
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        RMT hijack with an RMT. RMTception.

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

        Could be triple Foxes if Dunk goes there!
        Do you really want to pay an extra 1.5m for Wilson when King is 6.5?
        Sure you want rich over Siggy?

  24. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Brooks or Fraser? Think brooks will have cracker this season, save 1m...

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser

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

      I'd pick Brooks. That 1 mil can do so much

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

      Wait for Fraser to sign for Arsenal then Brooks will be an even better option!

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

    Most happy with this at the moment.

    Ederson
    TAA Robbo Digne Dunk (or some other 4.5)
    Salah Sterling Siggy
    King Deulofeu Jota (or any other max 7.0)

    4.0; Dendoncker, Stephens, Kelly

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      where is kane?

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

        Hard to fit. Only way I can see is Sterling to KDB and few other downgrades. Not really wanting to give up on my current defence and Siggy though...

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          ..pulling your leg...all these premium def's are making people crazy.

          1. aapoman
            • 10 Years

            Well yeah but they look so good D:

              yep, but FPL always has the last laugh...

    2. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo to VVD or Digne to Coleman , upgrade dunk

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

        Unless Dunk > Leicester. That would make him the hottest 4.5 defender in the game.

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Why? Not like Leicester have a particularly good defensive record

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

            Compared to other teams with 4.5m nailed-on starters. I wouldn't have a dead Kelly as 5th defender, but I'd get Dunk.

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Burnley will revert to form this year, I'd take Taylor/Pieters (depending on preseason) over most others. Players like O'Connell and Bernardo also have some saucy upside imo.

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

        None of the 5.5 defenders look good to me

        1. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier mate attacking returns

          1. The Wise Owl
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Uncertainty over his spot. Poch wants to sell him and Aurier.

  26. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years

    Haller to West Ham has me pissing myself as a Leicester fan. At least their fullbacks are still shite

    Have a go on this lads.

    Alisson (Ryan)
    Robbo Walker Coleman (Boly Kelly)
    Salah Siggy BSilva Maddison (Dendoncker)
    Vardy King Deulofeu

    Worried about not having Kane mind...

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo to TAA

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Why?

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Too much money for a backup keeper. 4.0 or nothing. Could use that money on upgrading Coleman to Digne who's on free kicks. Not sure on BSilva gametime with KDB back.

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

      Alisson to Ederson, Walker to VVD, Maddison to Perez/Tielemans. Not too keen on BSilva either

      1. jamest4
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Like this - gives £8.5m to replace BSilva

        BSilva > Zaha
        Upgrade elsewhere with £1m?

    Best 4.5 Defender?

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Cathcart

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      CTaylor or Diop

    3. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It's all subjective. Cathcart is a popular pick.

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

      "least shite" rather than "best" is probably the question - one of the West Ham boys maybe at the moment, but hopefully better options will emerge as pre-season progresses (if Dunk goes to Leicester for example).

    5. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like O'Connel. Bernardo if Potter can improve Brighton's defense after Hughton's shocking last season.

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

        Bernardo might became an option indeed

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Immediate, GW2 or long term?

      Cathcart, El Mohamady and Diop, perhaps.

        Cheer up. In all likelihood Maguire's replacement will be Soyuncu or Benkovic, both 4.5
