Scout Notes

Wilson and King reward owners’ patience as Bournemouth beat Villa

Goals: Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) | Harry Wilson (£6.0m) Josh King (£6.5m)

Assists: Jack Grealish (£6.0m) | Callum Wilson (£8.0m)

Bonus Points: El Mohamady x 3 Luiz x 2 H.Wilson/Grealish x 1

Bournemouth battled to a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, leaving their hosts still winless on their return to the Premier League. 

An early penalty was converted by Josh King (£6.5m) after Tom Heaton (£4.5m) had fouled Callum Wilson (£8.0m) in the box to put the Cherries 1-0 up, before Bournemouth debutant Harry Wilson (£6.0m) doubled their lead with an outstanding strike.

The Wilson and King combination is a well-known and lethal duo to Fantasy managers, and the two strikers did not disappoint on Saturday. For Wilson, the assist for King’s converted penalty means the striker has now recorded attacking returns in two consecutive matches.

And for King, his well-taken penalty will inevitably add to his confidence as Bournemouth bid to build on their unbeaten start to the 2019/20 campaign with promising fixtures from Gamweeks 4 to 7, though first, they must face reigning Champions Manchester City at Dean Court in Gameweek 3. 

Harry Wilson scored his first goal for Bournemouth on Saturday

Eddie Howe’s side were buoyant and energetic in attack, yet this enthusiasm was poorly managed by central midfielder Philip Billing (£5.0m) who was lucky to remain on the pitch after a number of poor challenges and was consequently substituted by Howe at half-time. 

For Villa, this was a disappointing result after their promising performance against Spurs last week.

Manager Dean Smith will be understandably frustrated that his side were able to deliver such a strong first-half performance in the capital but fall so short of the required standards in the opening 45 minutes at Villa Park. 

There are a number of assets in Villa’s squad who have the potential to offer value in 2019/20, yet investing in a team who are yet to prove themselves in the top-flight and who remain winless is a difficult decision to justify even if there is a wealth of potential value-for-money options in midfield and defence.

It was a mixed afternoon for Douglas Luiz who was sloppy in possession in the first half but scored a wonder-goal in the second

Tyrone Mings (£4.5m) delivered another commanding performance at the heart of the host’s defence alongside Bjorn Engels (£4.5m), whilst a wonder strike from Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) was the highlight of Villa’s afternoon, a superb effort from outside the box to drag Smith’s side back into contention for a tense final 15 minutes in front of a boisterous home crowd. 

An assist for Jack Grealish (£6.0m) will be pleasing returns for the 6% of managers who backed the Villa captain, and with a crucial run of fixtures on the horizon to ensure relegation does not become an immediate concern for the club, he is likely to feature prominently and could deliver further attacking returns.

John McGinn (£5.6m) was relentless in the middle of the park for Villa, but the Scotsman was unable to deliver successive attacking returns to build on his goal away at Spurs in Gameweek 1.

The abilities of McGinn and Grealish are certainly documented, yet whether either of these players can be considered a viable and reliable asset for Fantasy managers given Villa’s volatility in the opening Gamweeks of 2019/20 is a question that remains unanswered.

Grealish got his first attacking returns of the 2019/20 season

Villa’s club-record signing Wesley (£6.0m) had a difficult afternoon against Bournemouth, failing to fulfil his role as a capable target-man to hold up the ball and unleash Villa’s faster attacking options such as Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Trezeguet (£5.5m). 

It is too early to make a firm judgement on Wesley after just two matches, but from the perspective of early impressions, the Brazilian is unlikely to be a player that is featuring prominently for Fantasy managers, especially given the value that could lie in Villa’s defence alongside the early attacking returns from Grealish and McGinn in midfield. 

Villa’s next three games – Everton (home), Crystal Palace (away) and West Ham (home) – are of huge importance in their bid to have a successful season and prevent getting dragged into a relegation dogfight, and these will be games that are closely monitored by Fantasy managers in assessing whether Smith’s side represent a squad worthy of investment for the early stages of 2019/20. 

Meanwhile, Bournemouth and Howe remain unbeaten and will look to build on their early successes and continue the integration of players such as Harry Wilson who could yet become a differential pick in Bournemouth’s already impressive attacking armoury. 

Reflecting on the game for us, The Villa View’s Dan Bardell said:

A game where neither team really impressed defensively, meaning budget defenders from both sides came away with low scores.

We need to cut out the errors, goalscorer Luiz at £4.5m obviously bagged but I wouldn’t expect him to be scoring too many, he’s a pure a defensive midfielder.

McGinn and Trezeguet looked our liveliest players. McGinn is going to get somewhere between 7-10 goals this season in my opinion. He will play every week and he just suits the Premier League.

For Bournemouth, Harry Wilson looks a shout, especially with Brooks out. Scored from range yesterday and will probably take his share of dead balls. Fraser looked good as well but his price increase puts me off him.

Billing as a budget midfielder doesn’t look advisable, could have easily been sent off yesterday. Good player, but not for Fantasy football.

    TAA, Robbo or VVD?

    TAA or Robbo means I’d be rotating Kelly and Lundstrum as the 4th defender

    VVD means I can afford a 4.5

    1. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Taa more attacking returns. If i had to choose one. Currently have neither till that clown is out of goal.

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

      Vvd price

  2. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of doing this move for a -4

    Salah/ Perez/ Dendoncker OUT
    Mane/ Mount/ Ceballos IN

    Will leave 1.0 mill ITB which can go towards getting Pukki for King or Jota after seeing how he plays against Chelsea

    Thoughts?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Meh.. won't get rid of Salah to be honest..I am assuming Ceballos warms your bench most gws I would rather have dend or a 4.5 instead

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Insane. Salah and Dendoncker are fine.

      Just do Perez > Mount if you really don't like him but surely there are other priorities.

      KdB, Pukki have to be priorities and after tomorrow, maybe Martial/Rashford as well.

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haha, the reasoning behind Salah move is I just feel that Mane is more likely to score when I watch them play and it would free up an extra mill, and I wanted both Mount and Ceballos (cant own them all!).. already had KDB from the start.

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

    Need to bring in one 6.5 striker in order to buy KdB. Have King

    A) Jota
    B) Deulo
    C) other?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota is only real option at that price imo. Maybe Deeney but watford look like a hard avoid atm

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

        Thank you

  4. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does Perez look like he might come good or is it time to get shot?

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

      It's the same as Vardy really. Just hasn't got fully going but the next few fixtures are good.

      I guess if you have no other priorities to get rid of, sure, there are better out there

    2. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He will get some points it’s just when and how long you want to wait. Can’t have them all at the end of it anyway

  5. Pauntley
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Robertson and Fraser to Soyuncu and KDB for -4?

    Team would be

    Pope
    TAA, Digne, Lundstram/Dunk/Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Perez/Dendonker
    Wood, Pukki, Jota

    Thanks

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just realised this is very similar to my dilemma below. Very close call, but I probably just would.

  6. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fraser | Perez | Gomez

    to

    KDB | Trossard (McGinn/Ceballos) | Lundstram

    -4?

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would

    2. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

  7. thepuntmaster

    Bottomed
    Not the best week after a good GWK 1, here's what I'm sitting on for next week.

    1FT

    Pope

    Zinchenko, VVD, Coleman, Duffy

    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Ceballos

    Vardy, Murray

    Subs: Button, Joelington, Kelly, Donkey

    Thoughts on these options?

    a) Hold the FT
    b) Murray/Joelington > Ings/Adams
    c) Downgrade Vardy > Pukki/Barnes/Wilson

    Ta, all

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like a hold FT to me.

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

        Is my instinct, cheers

    2. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would try a switcheroo -4 to get Kane in for Vardy

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

        Do really want Kane, but not keen on downgrading any of the bigger hitters I have

        1. The Legend Squad
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What have you got left in the bank. You can fit in Mane Sterling KDB and Kane is you’re willing to go Mane over Salah. This is my current team after a -4 this week:

          Ryan
          AWB VVD Digne Montoya
          Mane Sterling KDB Ceballos
          Kane King

          Button Hayden Rico Greenwood

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

            Got 0 itb unfortunately, otherwise would have been happy to Mane over Salah.

            Pretty similar, looks good for you. Think I'll hold this week and think how to squeeze Kane in next if Vardy fluffs again.

            Thanks!

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

      I’d look to do C, but probably wait a week.

  8. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Nothing wrong with Zinchenko as a pick as there? He seems nailed for foreseeable future and there's no injury or anything?

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah go for it

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Never know with City but does look it. Has been playing well too

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He was their worst player yesterday imo

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I sold to make cash. As mentioned he’s easily the weak link at the back. Cancelo should be in for him soon.

      However if he keeps playing he could be ok

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

    Joao Felix showing why he was worth €120m, he dribbled 70 yards to win a pen (that Morata of course missed) .. looking like Kaka in his prime.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Next big big player. Gona be top dog

  10. La vida FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    KDB or Kane?

    1. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    2. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB looked really good while Kane did not show up

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    4. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kdb

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KdB. Easier to fit in. Amazing underlying stats.

    6. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Longterm KDB. Next GW Kane.

  11. child of God
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lamps will be the first to be sacked

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No chance. He will be given time, especially given the transfer restrictions at the club.

  12. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah to Sterling?

    1. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both?

    2. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No salah to mane. Sterling should be as well as

  13. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    who would you get in for:

    A) Barkley
    B) Guilbert

  14. Emp

    I know pukki has been unreal but im struggling to bring him in now at home to Chelsea and then city two weeks after that.
    Can he really do the business vs them?

    1. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same dilemma

    2. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Is Chelsea really that difficult?

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

      it gets worse

      chelsea, city, united, arsenal and villa are his next 5 home games

      form over fixtures and all that but i'm not going to panic

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The only good defence there vs Pukki, as things stand, is City

    4. child of God
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I can guarantee he will score

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why not? He passes the eye test 1000%, Norwich are an attack minded team and he has already scored against arguably the best defence in the league. West Ham away in GW4 is a great fixture and then the canaries go on a nice little run after City. The problem is if you wait until after City and he literally doesn’t anything in the next 2 fixtures he could be 7.2+

    6. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea look incredibly poor defensively. In saying that, I would have similar hesitations as none of the next four fixtures seem like bankers to me either.

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

        Chelsea simple have a zouma shaped issue. No idea why he hasn't moved Azpi over. Rudiger will be back soon. Anyways, yes, no doubt any half decent striker is capable against any of these defences including City. But it's enough to give me pause for thought about whether i would want to be making 2-3 changes for a player playing much of the top 6 at home.

    7. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Norwich are 8th in the league for goal attempts and 2nd for shots on target.

      Chelsea have allowed the 11th most attempts at their goal.

      Pukki should have plenty of opportunities to add to his tally.

    8. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea is a fine fixture for a forward. Then West Ham who've looked like the shakiest defence so far.

    9. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Big clubs but terrible defenses. City the only backline I’d be weary about not scoring

  15. valurth
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA / VVD / Zinchenko / Coleman
    Salah / Sterling / Martial / Perez
    Wilson / Ings

    Button / Dendoncker / Lundstram / Greenwood

    1.5 Itb, 1 Ft

    A) Ings > Pukki for free
    B) TAA, Wilson, Ings > 4.5, Kane, Pukki for a -8

      You must have other players than that? They look pretty sucky

  17. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fornals + Fraser to KdB + Cantwell the best option here?

    Heaton (Button)
    TAA VVD Digne (Lund Rico)
    Salah Sterling Fraser Perez Fornals
    Wilson Pukki (Greenwood)

    1. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes but KDB or Son

  18. Artemis Titans
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How's this looking? 43 with Awb to play made my mind up to WC
    Ryan, (Pope)
    Awb, Digne, Pieters, ( Lundstram, Kelly )
    Mane, Kdb, Son, Martial, (Cantwell)
    Pukki, Rashford, Vardy
    0.2 itb

    Any changes needed?
    Which of these?
    A. Pogba & Martial ?
    B. Pogba & Rashford?
    C. Rashford & Martial?

    Thanks for any input 🙂

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years

      You played son ?

      1. Artemis Titans
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's my wc team.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Regret starting with Vardy but glad sold for hit to Pukki last week

  19. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I've pressed the wildcard button. I've had a fairly decent start, ranked 250k with Jota to go (or hopefully 14 points from Lundstrum first on the bench) but I felt I had far too much remedy to do with my team. Had both Wilson and King, as well as Moura and Perez and was priced out of moves for KdB and Pukki without major points hits.

    Could you kind folk possibly cast your eyes over the below teams and give your thoughts?

    A)
    Heaton (Button)
    TAA Laporte Digne Lowton (Lundstrum)
    Salah Sterling KdB Mount/Grealish (Cantwell)
    Pukki Barnes (McGoldrick)

    Positives of this side are a very strong bench so I'll likely always be able to bench my worst two fixtures each week between Lowton/Lund/Cantwell/McGoldrick.

    B)
    The same as above, but swapping Lowton, Mount/Grealish and McGoldrick for Kelly, Martial and a £4.5m striker.

    Would be a much weaker bench but would allow me to get Martial playing at #9 for United.

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You're crazy 😉

    2. Evans
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

      On the basis you would have used your wildcard better to have the stronger bench

    3. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why the hell would you wcard at 250k? You are knee jerking. You can't have everyone and after 4 games in you would prob want to wcard again.

      Give it to the int break

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Said he's already pressed it...

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Sure in previous years you could cancel it? Maybe I'm wrong.

          Nothing a -4 couldn't fix here

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

      I’d probably go for B, as you’re unlikely to want to play McGoldrick much anyway

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

      WC’ing when ranked 250.000? That’s a rookie mistake, young padwan.

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree to disagree. No doubt it's an aggressive wildcard, but I'd rather use it aggressively and it go wrong than wait for it to go wrong and use it defensively.

  20. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you get Mount or Ceballos ?

      Not yet.

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        need cash for KDB

    2. Evans
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ceballos

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Both rotation risks. Ozil etc

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

      Ceballos

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Mount of the two

  21. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton (Pope)
    VVD, Digne, Lundstrum, Zinchenko, Montoya
    Sterling, Salah, Fraser, Barkley, Dendocker
    Kane, King, Greenwood

    2FT. Fraser is going. I'm torn between shifting Barkley and getting KDB.

    a) VVD + Fraser > KDB + Soyuncu
    b) Fraser, Barkley + King > Martial, McGinn + Pukki (-4)

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years

      B

      Similar problem. I am thinking of hitting WC. Now is the time to get KDB, City are going to slam their upcoming fixtures.
      Barks also obviously has to go

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. I'm quite happy with the rest of the team, so reluctant to push the WC button yet. I really, really want KdB, but I know shifting Barkley is more urgent.

    Predictions for bottom 3 this season?
    I'm thinking Palace, Newcastle and Watford. Maybe Villa are in trouble but Sheffield look strong enough to get enough points, and if Norwich keep Pukki fit, they should get enough points

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Villa, Watford, Newcastle. Palace in the mix also

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Obviously havnt looked at villa stats last two games then. No way villa will go down. I'd put my house on it only the ex has it already.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          😆

    2. The Gobstopper
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd agree with Newcastle and Palace. I think that Villa could get things sorted out, though, and would throw Southampton into the possible mix.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Too early to call that imo.. I don't think palace will go down and expect atleast one of the promoted clubs will

    4. Belsunz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle are doomed under Bruce. Shows what terrific work Rafa did there last 2 seasons...

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle and Palace

      Watford will turn it round

      The other spot if a straight fight between Villa, Sheffield and Southampton

  23. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Seriously considering Mane in for Salah. Anyone else on the same page?

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A lot on here, especially those on WC.

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Done it

    4. L S P
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      on a wc, maybe

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Already done it.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Milner wont play every week. He's done. The pens make Salah the main man

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Manes outscored Salah recently even without the pens, and it means I can get KDB.

    6. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane looks sharp. More involved. 1m for war chest or upgrades. Scoring freely,
      I did it.

  24. FPLMarc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope
    Robbo Digne Dunk Lundstrom
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez
    Kane King

    Which two would you remove out of Siggy, Perez and King?

    I want Martial but am nervous about Ceballos rotation. None of the 6-7m strikers have shone so far either (except Pukki, but no thanks).

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King has to go ASAP, the other 2 have nice fixtures this GW

  25. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A Fraser, King & Trent > KDB, Pukki & Pieters -4
    B Fraser, King & Firmino > KDB, Pukki & Barnes -4

    C Wildcard to this;

    Pope, (Button)
    Pieters, AWB, KWP, (Kelly, Lund)
    Martial, Sterling, Mane, KDB, Mcginn
    Kane, Pukki, (Wickham)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Trent vs Firmino.

      Trent for me.

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Lose Trent or keep? I'm currently on lose

  26. Monya Meow Meow

    If you have to ditch one Pool defender, who would it be?

    A) Robbo
    B) VVD

    Thanks!

    Happy with my mini WC (8point hit)
    - Salah- KDB
    - Wilson- Kane
    - DVD- lundstam
    - Greenwood- Puki.

    Kept perez and maura for now- will remove next 2 weeks for mane and dendonker provisionally

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

      Good options brought in, but Salah out for a hit can always hurt

    2. Evans
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Need to see rest of team tbh

  28. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    -4 in GW2 (Pukki 🙂 ), on a -8 for GW3

    Feels like that kind of season. Wildcard or early hits. So many things we didn't see coming from preseason and last season's stats. Big hitters have stayed (except Robbo), but many things had to change about my 4.0s to 6.5s

  29. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    is having both Cantwell and Dendocker too much?

    my team is a 442 btw so have to play one of them

    can go without cantwell but means a -4 to bring in someone else

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      ps this is to fund KDB

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Imo no. But others might disagree.

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cantwell wont play Newcastle every week

      Who not dunk / pieters?

  30. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wildcard played and I feel great

      Good for you
