Man United defence stunned as Rashford misses penalty

Goals: Daniel James (£6.0m) | Jordan Ayew (£5.0m) Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m)

Assists: Anthony Martial (£7.7m) | Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m)

Bonus Points: Ayew x 3 Van Aanholt x 2 Schlupp x 1

Crystal Palace secured their first win of the 2019/20 Premier League season in dramatic fashion with a last-minute winner from Patrick van Aanholt (£5.0m) at Old Trafford. 

Manchester United came into the game off the back of an unbeaten start to 2019/20 with a 4-0 victory over Chelsea and a 1-1 draw on Monday with Wolves.

However, instead of playing with energy and confidence from their opening encounters, Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer’s side were laboured against Palace on Saturday as a missed penalty from Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) summed up the Red Devil’s afternoon. 

Last week’s draw at Wolves drew considerable debate regarding United’s penalty-takers, with Solsjkaer claiming in his post-match interview that he leaves the final decision to either Paul Pogba (£8.6m) or Rashford dependent on their own preferences. 

Manchester United had further penalty problems on Saturday afternoon

Pogba’s poorly taken spot-kick at Molineux meant it was Rashford who resumed duties from the penalty spot against Palace. It was interesting to see that Anthony Martial (£7.7m) took command of the penalty situation this time, decisively picking the ball up after Scott McTominay (£5.0m) was fouled, and thrust it into Rashford’s hands. Pogba, meanwhile, was conspicuous by his absence from the exchange.

However, Rashford was still unable to bury his spot-kick, striking the post on Saturday afternoon. That was a huge blow for Rashford’s 27.6% ownership, as he registered a Gameweek 3 score of zero points.

“Fine margins. We’re disappointed but I’m sure Marcus will look at his penalty again but he’ll definitely step up again.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Martial registered an assist for Daniel James’ (£6.0m) goal, yet the Frenchman will have been disappointed to not have added to his tally of attacking returns in 2019/20 after failing to add a clinical cutting edge on a number of occasions.

Backed by 18.6% of managers as the most-owned United midfielder, Martial certainly is passing the eye-test, and at £7.7m the French forward is certainly a value-for-money option amidst United’s attacking options. 

Martial was one of two Manchester United players to pick up an injury against Palace

However, any potential new owners may want to keep an eye on his fitness this week as Martial limped off at the end of the game.

The Manchester United website reported that he had picked up an injury in the closing stages with Solskjaer unable to provide much of an update at this early stage.

There was also some concern for Luke Shaw (£5.5m) after he was taken off in the 34th minute, but Solsjkaer confirmed the injury is not thought to be serious or long-term.

“We’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully, they won’t be too bad and maybe we can have them training during the week. We’ll do the scans tomorrow but (Shaw) felt something in his hamstring. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad and I hope he is going to be back for Southampton.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

James, a bright spark amidst an afternoon of misfortune for United, was energetic throughout the game against Palace and got a well-deserved goal in the 89th minute.

He now has attacking returns in both of his matches at Old Trafford this season and has started the last two Gameweeks in a row. That may suggest the former Swansea City midfielder can provide an alternate budget route into the Manchester United attack.

Fantasy managers had also been flocking to United’s defensive assets after some impressive displays at the back in the first two Gameeeks. The arrivals of Harry Maguire (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.6m) looked to have stabilised the Red Devils’ backline.

However, their failure to keep a clean sheet against a team that offered little going forward might reminder to managers of how far United still have to come. There was also frustration for Wan-Bissaka owners as he picked up a yellow card in the second half.

Solskjaer’s men spent the majority of the first half camped in Palace’s final third and were caught off guard by the first counter-attack of the match.

Ayew capitalised on Manchester United’s high line in the first half

Palace had been resilient in the face of considerable pressure in the opening stages, but it was Jordan Ayew (£5.0m) who found the breakthrough for Palace to put them 1-0 up against the run of play.

The Eagles’ lack of goalscoring impetus aside from Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) is well documented, though Ayew’s performance and goalscoring contribution could suggest he is capable of involving himself in Palace’s attacking efforts in 2019/20. 

Van Aanholt also reminded Fantasy managers what he is capable of, sending Palace’s away end into a state of euphoria with a winner in injury time. The Dutch defender has always held an attacking threat, averaging nearly five goals a season since 2015/16, and he was once again on target to secure a vital win for Palace. 

For Hodgson’s men, this was an extremely important result, yet it was also a timely reminder that the Eagles, on their day, can be a match for any of the Premier League’s elite sides if they show the resilience they displayed at times in 2018/19.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) was solid at the back alongside Martin Kelly (£4.0m), which is good news for the Fantasy appeal of the latter, who started ahead of Scott Dann (£4.5m).

The arrival of the ex-Chelsea man on a free transfer could potentially revitalise Palace as a defensive unit worthy of investment – a prospect that may have been discarded by managers following the departure of Wan-Bissaka to United. 

This was an afternoon that belonged to Palace and their resilient attitude in the face of extreme pressure, yet after just three Premier League games of 2019/20, a familiar line of questioning may be pointed towards United.

Defensive frailties have once again been exposed, and they were not too ruthless going forward either. That may lead to further scrutiny of their Fantasy assets in the upcoming Gameweeks.

    How many still think Mane can cover Salah?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Attacking cover does not exist anywhere, not specific to this example.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Salah doesn't cover Mane either.

        1. IRBOX ⚽

          No, he dominates him!

      Still think they will end in approx same point range - maybe with a small advantage to Salah. But I’m afraid not to have Salah right now with high ownership and recent haul.

      Salah have penalties, but Mané seem to have improved his movement - I think he is better at getting in the box and that he gets more “easy” goals than Salah such as headers. I’m not sure myself though

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t rate, Mané, too streaky for 11.5m

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        A bloke with sense.. and a member with respectable history. Up tops!

    5. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It was never likely. You just jumped on a short term bandwagon. It is quite common amongst new managers.

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

        Spot on Demel. Us professional veterans would never make such a mistake

        1. Klein
          • 8 Years

          Veteran lmao.

        I jumped on Mane? I would never put such a poor player in my squad. You delusional?

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Mane is certainly not a poor player.

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

            He is when you can have Salah for only 1.0 more!

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Well both scored 22 last season so why not. My theory, get both and stick

  2. Superkitten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Wilson to Haller seem a sensible FT?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Like it.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I acually had Haller. Worked my way to get KDB.

      Haller looking like a really good option and his price dropped so was not the worst thing to get rid when I can get him back 🙂

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

        Cheers lads

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe

  3. That TV angle at Highbury
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah + Cantwell

    Or

    Martial + Son

    Already have Mane, Sterling and KDB

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

      Martial & Son

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What does your defence and attack look like?

      1. That TV angle at Highbury
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have Pukki and Jota in offense. In the back I have Digne, KWP and Pieters (great Burnley fixtures soon to come

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not a bad team, Salah and Cantwell for me.

        2. Uncle Avram
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Exactly the same team as me my midfield I has Mane,KDB, Son, Sterling and Martial

          Although Salah killed it for me yesterday but midfield is cracking

  4. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Robinson to McGinn?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would, yes

    3. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would say No. In Gw 3, McGinn has just created 1 chance which was converted to goal. To me, just manage another 0.5m to get Mount/James

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

        McGinn had a different, deeper role GW3 compared to GW2 so you're comparing apples to oranges. McGinn is a great 5th mid but fixture dependant because he seems to have an attacking role only vs bottom half teams so you need a decent rotation option if you want to include him. Villa's fast counterattacks vs top half teams are played too fast for McGinn to typically join in.

  5. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Did anyone watch Haller last night? Did he look like the primary source for goals for the team? West Ham's fixtures are deadly.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He is a quality player which cangive team more than just goals. His link up play is something special, think he will.get some assists too.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah will be intersting to hear views about Haller.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, looks very confident as a character. Shades of Ibrahimovic

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get him. Trust me

  6. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    God wildcard week is not fun...

    A) Digne, Cantwell & Firmino
    B) Pieters, Mane, Greenwood

    Leaning towards A due to how sharp Firmino has looked but Man U are one injury away from Greenwood starting!

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

      WC week is fine, but the next week after that is not when you want another WC. 😉

  7. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else have/ thinking of having Cantwell + Dendoncker in their team? I made a WC draft and having those 2 really frees up funds for elsewhere

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

      Except they take 2 midfield spots that should/could be used for better players.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have Cantwell + Ceballos. Wish I could find 0.5m or so more for Mount but am going to be patient with Ceballos and maybe get both.

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

      I have them since gw 2.

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

        Heaton
        TAA Coleman Dunk
        Sterling Mane Mcginn Cantwell
        Kane Pukki Auba

        Lundstrum Donkey Kelly

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          A great fire and forget team, that Christina. Not sure how you make transfers without saving 2 and losing a big hitter for midpriced options.

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

            I have 2 FT's now and need to make a call...I want Laporte.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              You could do Aubameyang to Lacazette as I think he’ll start against weaker opposition.

              Another option is Haller who frees up a bucket load of cash.

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

                Yeah, Auba or Kane for the chop. Will see how Kane goes today. I'm not interested in Laca.

                Haller on list yes as that will give me Laporte for Dunk and money to bring Salah back for Mane if I feel like it.

    4. Kante FC
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes - got the same idea as you. They are both great enablers!

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep did that on my WC last week. My 11th player is a choice between Cantwell, Dendoncker and Lundstram. I got lucky and chose Cantwell this week.

    6. FeedTheGoatAndHeWillScore
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, I’ve got both. Has allowed me to get a strong def and a midfield of Martial, Sterling, Salah and Pukki, Wesley and Firmino up front. Cantwell in particular like a steal given how attacking Norwich are

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

    Sitting on 16 points for the gw.

    Sold Salah and Auba for Sterling (have Kdb) and Kane (c)

    Brought in Pukki last night for a hit.

    Dropped frm 438k to 1.2m OR

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still a good rank. Anything in top 2m is respectable.

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

      Me too, mate. 16 (-8). Need a Kane double hattie at this rate.

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    GW1 No Sterling - 3 goals
    GW2 No Sterling - 1 goal
    Wildcards Sterling in
    GW3 No Salah - 2 goals

    Going well this Salah / Sterling switcheroo! 😀

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

      At least Kane and Auba will be bringing in the points.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Happy Kane Day!

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

      I know lol. Look up. Did the same and need a big day today.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I always argue for spreading the cost around but just starting with Sterling and Salah is all that’s needed at the moment.

  10. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hey guys, thoughts on my 3/5/2 team? Just took a minus 4 hit to get Haller and Pukki in. Plan is to downgrade Vardy > Barnes after the Bournemouth game which will free up funds to potentially upgrade AWB or Dendoncker.

    Heaton / Pope
    AWB / Zinc / Digne / Lund / Rico
    Salah / Sterling / Martial / Mount / Dendonck
    Pukki / Vardy / Haller

    1. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry I meant 3 / 4 / 3

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looking good.

  11. Offs!de
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    YOu, the gOOd people!
    .
    Which one looks sensible?
    a) King to Haller for free
    b) King to Abraham for free
    c) King & Greenwood to Haller & Abraham for -04?

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

      A

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      C, two strikers for one is always an upgrade

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How was Vardy's overall performance yesterday?

  13. Lemongrab
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Been toying with ditching one of Robbo or Trent to free up finds but after watching the game yesterday there's no way I'm selling either. Both were playing pretty much as wingers and I'm sure a huge haul from both is just round the corner.

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

      Yeah but without the CS, having both of them is not worth it imo

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        They won't keep failing to net clean sheets and part from City no team looks any more likely to net them.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t think now’s the time. Liverpool’s next 4 are all strong CS match ups.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Btw, Arsenal played a diamond formation in the first half which played into Robertson and TAA’s hands, so slightly exaggerated.

  14. Coldplay
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best replacement for Perez? Have 7m to spend

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount or Trossard for me

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

      Mount

    3. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount if fit, James, Trossard

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

      Mount, Lanzini, FAnderson, McGinn and even Cantwell. All good options imo.

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Lanzini

    6. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think I'm going Lanzini

    7. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lanzini?

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

    What would you do with Ceballos? Keep and hope he plays?

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

      That was my plan when I bought him

    2. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep, the kid can play.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, I always make the mistake of not recognising great value. Started with Jimenez at 5.5m and sold him for Ings later.

      A likely starter playing behind Arsenal’s attacking 3 should be gold for 5.5m

  16. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Cancelo comes to the team today, and impresses, then he may come to my team straight away. Issue is he may rotate with Walker in some games, but a potentially fantastic fpl prospect.

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

      why get someone who is not nailed and waste a city slot?

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

        I think he will start today. He may take a game or 2 to become nailed. They spent a lot on him to be a bench fodder, plus more importantly he is a fantastic player.

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think it's wishful thinking to think he will be nailed. I think he will be rotated with Walker. If he played LB I might be more interested, although Mendy back now as well as Zinc and Angelino.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Seems like a terrible plan tbh

      1. ZeBestee

        Yes, it may turn out to be a terrible decision, but I can see him becoming a fixture.

      What makes you think Walker is not the first choice? If I'd have to guess, Cancelo will get like 3 starts this season.

      I'm getting Laporte. Less than 8% ownership.

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

        Safest pick.

    5. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He will never be first choice RB, because Walker is a better player. He might rotate with Zinch tho also

      If cancelo become nailed, i have Walker so ehat i have to do with my walker ??

    What a goal from Harvey Barnes

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

      Perez is not getting a game after that.

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

        Different positions tho

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

          They can swap with the likes of Madisson.

    Scout Notes headline after Man Utd LOSE at home to Palace - "Man United defence stunned as Rashford misses penalty"

    Scout Notes headline after Liverpool WIN away at Southampton last week - "Salah blanks as mediocre Liverpool concede again"

    Liverpool 3 wins out of 3 and top of the league, Man Utd one win in 3
    Man Utd fan writing the scout notes?

      Yawn

        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hes right theres an annoying bias in a lot of the headlines. I suspect it has more to do with who the author has in his own FPL team than fan bias though.

    Awb and mcginn to mings and mount for -4?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mcginn is good

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait until news of Mount injury.

  21. Modest Bob
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    OR:- 2, 336,974

    Feeling fine on this beautiful day! 🙂

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

      I wouldn't care about OR at this stage. Just getting a proper team out for the shorter to longer term.

  22. powderjunkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    I only want to make 5 transfers. Is it worth wildcarding for that?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's a minus 28 so yes WC.

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

        It's only -16. I think a wildcard is worth more than that

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

          It’s borderline, I think. But as long as you’re planning for the upcoming fixtures rather than chasing points, you’ll have plenty of time to make the points back.

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          -16? Massive hit that.

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

        I make it 29

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

        -12 if you factor in 1FT.

        1. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          My brain

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

          Damn it. I was using your comment to further the joke, but your calculation is wrong. -16 already factors in the FT.

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

            Haha, yes you are right.

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

        -8 when you factor in 2FTs.

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

      -16 is WC territory

    3. powderjunkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's Siggy, Perez, Rico, Hayden, Wilson -> KDB, Pukki, Mount, Lunstram, Cantwell btw.

      I see 3 options:
      1/ wildcard at do it
      2/ take the 16 point hit
      3/ spread it over multiple gw starting off with Siggy+wilson -> Pukki + KDB
      (I have 1FT)

  23. cigan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you do Adams & Ryan >> Haller & Button for a hit or wait another week to have 2 FT for after the internationals?

    It would mean a second successive hit but Adams hasn't looked good and I'm worried he might not even start the next game. Not the easiest fixture either (Utd home). I'm happy with Pope as set&forget for the next 10 weeks so it's a long term move

  24. mcgrejam
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Deciding on formation...

    A) KDB, Martial
    B) Mount, Kane

    A or B please?

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

      A

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

      B depending on mount injury and how Kane plays today

  25. dshv
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A

  26. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best defender under 5m to enable Kean to Haller?

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

      Diop/Masuaku, Dunk still has some decent fixtures, one of the Burnley lads. I'm really just spitballing though.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Slim enough pickings. Diop has good fixtures. Kean should start next game so not sure it's a great time to sell him.

  27. gawa11
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who is the best Barkley replacement for similar money?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount, Trossard are popular replacements.

  28. Jafoole_88
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Iwobi likely to start at home to Wolves next gameweek?

  29. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best option?

    A. Ceballos —> Mount
    (+play Jota every week)
    B. Dendoncker + VVD —> Mount + Matip/KWP (+rotate Ceballos and Jota, and get stronger bench)

  30. Teror
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have suffered the indignity of my first price drop. Jota is now 6.4.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lot's of us are in the same boat.

    2. MTPockets
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It's outrageous
