James highlights FPL appeal with goal but United flop again

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw against Southampton at St Mary’s with a wonder strike from Daniel James (£6.0m) proving to not be enough for Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer’s side, who have won just one of their first four Premier League matches.

We look at the key Fantasy talking points from the south coast.

Southampton 1-1 Manchester United

  • Goals: Daniel James (£6.0m) | Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Scott McTominay (£5.0m) | Kevin Danso (£4.5m)
  • Bonus: Vestergaard, McTominay – 3, Gunn, James – 2

After signing from Swansea City for a £15m fee in the summer window, James was expected to play a part in United’s attacking armoury, but after four games it is evident that this is a player with the ability to make a significant, impactful contribution for the Red Devils in 2019/20. 

Having cut in from the left flank, James drilled a superb strike beyond the reach of Angus Gunn (£4.5m) to assert an early level of control over the Saints, whilst also testing the Southampton goalkeeper on a number of occasions throughout the match. 

Particularly given the potential absence of Anthony Martial (£7.7m), James is showing glimpses of a player who has the potential to excel for United in the goalscoring department, and once again on Saturday the Welshman, owned by just over 5% of managers, displayed his attacking prowess with a fine finish despite the bitterly disappointing scoreline. 

It should be noted that James’ goal, as was the case against Palace last weekend, came when he was stationed on the left wing and his FPL appeal going forward perhaps partly hinges on where Solskjaer will deploy him, with a role on the right flank arguably not suited to his skill set (as evidenced against Wolves).

For United’s defensive quartet of Harry Maguire (£5.5m), Victor Lindelof (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.6m) and Ashley Young (£5.4m), who was recalled after an injury to Luke Shaw (£5.5m), Saturday’s game marked yet another failure to keep a clean sheet, though they did show defensive resilience.

The Red Devils were denied a shut-out when Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m) rose highest after a chipped ball into the box from Kevin Danso (£4.5m) to draw Southampton level. 

A start didn’t materialise for budget FPL forward Mason Greenwood (£4.5m), while Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) was unable to reward his 24.7% of owners with any attacking returns despite looking dangerous at times.

The 21-year-old has now blanked in two consecutive fixtures after starting the season with successive attacking returns. 

In the context of United’s ambitions for the season, this was another blow for the club but also highlighted the fragile nature of their defence. If United’s defensive assets are to be considered long-term, viable options for Fantasy managers, then games against Crystal Palace (h) and Southampton (a) should be viewed as having considerable clean sheet potential. 

Yet two successive failures to keep out the opposition will mean ownership of United defenders comes under further scrutiny over the international break ahead of Gameweek 5, with testing games against attacking sides such as West Ham and Arsenal coming up in their next three fixtures. 

Whilst the likes of Sofiane Boufal (£5.5m) and Danny Ings (£6.0m) did test United with several incisive runs, the Saints had shown no real signs of having a goalscoring threat prior to Vestergaard’s opener, with Southampton’s fortunes in front of goal epitomised by Che Adams (£5.8m) in the 55th minute: Adams was played through on goal with just David de Gea (£5.6m) to beat but fluffed his lines to make it a fourth blank in a row for the £15m summer signing from Birmingham. 

An injury to Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) meant that an opportunity emerged in the starting line-up for Boufal, and the Moroccan did look sharp at times though lacked an end product. 

On the basis of Saturday’s game against United, despite looking promising at points, investment in Southampton’s attacking options such as Ings and Adams is a difficult decision to justify with Tottenham (a) and Chelsea (h) on the horizon in their next four fixtures. 

As Southampton appeared to be in the ascendancy, a second yellow for Danso meant that Hassenhuttl’s side were forced to play out the final 15 minutes with ten men, though the south coast side held on to build on their impressive victory over Brighton in Gameweek 3 with a valuable point against Solsjkaer’s men. 

This was a game that served as a reminder towards Southampton’s ability to defy the odds against supposedly superior opposition, but the main headline will inevitably lie with United’s inability to see off ‘lesser’ opposition who, unlike Solsjkaer’s side, are unlikely to be competing for a spot in the top six. 

On the basis of this showing at St Mary’s, it’s unlikely that United will be doing anything more than that, either.

        Pope
        Lundstrom TAA Digne Zinch 4.5

          I'd WC out of that team.

          1. The Legend Squad

            Bit harsh... lots would be happy with the above

      Absolutely not

  2. tommo1989

    Thoughts on the best £4.5m defender?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mings or Soyuncu

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Leicester’s fixtures are terrible though. I’m thinking maybe Burnley with their upcoming games?

      2. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Soyuncu was a fault for a goal conceeded today.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pieters if you can afford 4.6, Lowton if not.

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

      Probably Burnley. But since I have Pope, I think Soyuncu because he plays for the best team.

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Soyunku looks underpriced, top 8 team & Maddison's corners in terms of attacking returns.

    5. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lowton

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks guys. I could afford Pieters but I’m thinking Lowton as can see Charlie Taylor getting some games ahead of Pieters while Bardsley definitely looks like a backup. I think I’ll go for Soyuncu once these next few games have gone, even if he’s 0.1/0.2 more expensive

      Are you not tempted by Haller or Abraham? I WC'd to a very similar team this week and already wish I'd left a 7-7.5m forward spot in there. I have maddison that I could downgrade over the next couple of weeks

    Team needs surgery!

    Pope
    TAA, VDD, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Perez, Mount
    King, Adams, Greenwood

    2 FT

    Thoughts on: King + Adams + Perez + VVD ---> Haller + Barnes + James + Ota/Stones (-8)

    Cheers all!

    1. Puyol Pants Up

      I do have my WC, reluctant to play it.

      1. Baked baines
        • 9 Years

        Adams?! Ouch!

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What the hell is wrong with this team? It’s going absolutely nowhere and this is even after WC!

    Pope
    Digne - Zinc - AWB
    Mount - Sterling - Salah - KDB - Lanzini
    Rashford - Pukki

    Button: Lundy, Hanley, Wickham

    All teams in my ML’s are leaving me for dead, many of them inferior teams, damn this is depressing.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking of AWB + Rash >> Tammy/Haller + TAA for a damn -4

      1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ok. We are on the same page 🙂

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haller and TAA are probably good shouts

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Prefer haller over tammy?

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      well most people will blame the Man U assets, hard to find a good defender replacement but someone like Haller or Barnes or even Wilson is a swap for Rashford

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah United assets are going, definitely, dunno what i was thinking putting faith in them.

    3. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In theory nothing wrong with it. So perhaps stick for another week or two. If rashford doesn't deliver it's an easy transfer to Haller or Abraham if they continue to. AWB perhaps out if Utd really can't keep cleanses. Trying to get Trent in would make sense I think

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i think i’m just gonna give into rage transferring them out, they’ve knocked me sick last few weeks

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          well he is right when he says your team isnt bad because it isnt. Its jsut the last 2 games for Man U have been shcoking and so they look shocking and maybe deservedly, but afetr GW1

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            they looked like great prospects, so in that regard they equally could look good again. On paper tho the mvoes you suggested look far better given the current environment

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah i think those moves are much better the way it’s going right now, United are just shocking

            2. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I think it's a philosophical debate on patience vs hits 🙂 I am having the same dilemma right one, one week into my WC team. Gut feeling says doe one of the transfers and stick for another week. There's a reason and quite a bit of analysis gone into the WC team so they may come good

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Yeah could be right saying just do one and hang on to the other one, but i just can’t see United battering teams anytime soon, i trusted they’d turned a corner, i was wrong, just can’t see it happening now.

                1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Yes, I think that's where I got to as well in my thinking. Also gives you some flexibility in case of injuries over the international break. Just keep an eye on prices to make sure you don't get priced out with all the swings

        2. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I was just going to argue against a hit but looking at expected price changes, you may have to do it unless you have enough ITB or Rashford value is enough - haven't done the math

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah doing RASH and AWB to Tammy and TAA would leave me with 0.2 ITB

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I wouldnt get Tammy

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Haller instead then? Already have Lanzini

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  him or Barnes for me, I do not trust Tammy one bit. He is a championship level player in my eyes. Last 2 games he looked good because thats Championship level opposition.
                  If he has actually progressed as player and is now PL quality then I eat my words I guess but im not convinced at all.
                  I had him when he was playing for Swansea, came up from the championship as lead scorer (25 goals) then was a total flop for Swansea. Most of his goals are normally tap ins as well. Many peopel have gone for him and damn it will hrut if im wrong but I dont think so

    4. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You're midfield all still looked great picks from watching MOTD today.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers man, just so frustrating why it’s scoring so low, i’d even be happy with above average but not even attaining that

        1. Alberto Tomba
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I feel you're pain. I wildcarded too and fell directly after. Going against eye test and stats so I'm calm with it.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah true, only 4 GW’s in i guess

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

      erm if they have more points after 4 weeks, why are they inferior?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Because they are teams that are unbalanced but have just been extremely lucky

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

          ok fair enough, 4 weeks is probably too short a measure, 10 weeks is probably fairer

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

      Would hold, this is a good team. Please don’t get too swayed by one week of results - it will be fine over a season

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers bud, it’s been 2 weeks on the trot now though 🙁

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

          I had a shocker last weekend. Felt the same way. 100k OR to 1.6m... on what seemed a good team. It came good this week though and I’ve gained +1m OR with Ceballos and Digne to play... patience is really important at this point in the season

  10. Krionos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    People are transferring out Sterling to make way for players like abraham and james.

    I have lost faith in the FFS community.

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

      Are they?

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

      Haven’t seen any evidence of this?!

  11. Alberto Tomba
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Notes from this evening's MOTD:

    Firmino, Mane and Salah are fairly interchangeable and their prices probably fairly reflective of minimal differences (we already knew this - I certainly do as an Lfc fan). Adrian growing in confidence though still we're shakier than under Alisson at the back

    City look absolutely imperious - triple city is a must. Eleven would be ideal

    Chelsea's Abraham is growing in confidence and is the focal point. Mount is there, but probably only a Third/Fourth FPL midfielder for now

    United look absolutely toothless going forward - having lost Lukaku, Sanchez and Martial, a young midfielder from the championship looked their biggest threat today. Maguire looks the most solid part

    Vardy looks as great as ever today, real confidence and hunger shown. mun TOT liv in the next four though

    Zaha is starting to wake up to having another season at Palace, going up through the gears

    Haller didn't look particularly sharp with his touches today, despite being heavily involved in attack; shouldn't become over hyped, yet. Felipe Anderson looked like the real engine room, though didn't have the hunger for goal himself (a David Silva / Juan Mata type perhaps?)

    Most other teams looked fairly pants

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

      Good notes.

      Watching the City game, I can add that Trossard got into great positions and had 3 good chances. Finishing let him down but on another day could have had a brace.

      Also Sterling looked a bit disinterested, poorest I've seen him play in a while. Might swing captaincy choice in Salah's favour more often. Mahrez played well.

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, good notes. On MOTD Trossard looked lacking in confidence to go for it. I can see there may be a lot of patience required on him.

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

      Thanks, some good observations here

  12. Supersonic Marv'
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Haller a better shout than Abraham? I'm looking to sell Robertson and Greenwood and switch from 442 to 343.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      chelsea have very nice upcoming fixture i d get abraham

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

        Really? Away to Wolves?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m wondering the same thing, can’t choose between Tammy and Haller

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I already have Lanzini as well

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

    Bit of a crossroads for my team. Which moves do you prefer?

    a. Kane + Cantwell > Salah + 4.5m forward
    Or
    b. Kane + Sterling > Aguero + Salah

    Appreciate your input

      Who do you captain in GW5 in both?

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

        I think it has to be a Man City player vs Norwich as Newcastle at least showed they can park a bus and make it difficult.

        Sterling in A, and Aguero in B

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

          What would you rather have?

          Sterling(c) or Aguero(c) because you won't have the other player.

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

            Penalties swing it to Aguero but I’d be happier knowing Pep will use Jesus in the CL between GW5 and 6. Apparently he’s close to a return.

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

              Could easily get 30 minutes in GW5.

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

                Yes, it’s a risk, admittedly.

    2. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and see on Kane tomorrow.

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

        Salah so much better as a captain option for 1.5m more. Can’t justify keeping him.

        1. Alberto Tomba
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          If he scores tomorrow you tune may change, may as well wait.
          I'm struggling to look outside ManC players for a Captain based on the momentum they're building..

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

            I hope he smashes it but no way I’m going without Salah.

            In terms of preference, I see it as Salah over Sterling, and Aguero over Kane. I can’t have Sterling and Aguero as KdB offers excellent value, as does the City defence. Think I’ve reached the only conclusion...

            Thank you Alberta and TM 🙂

    Got £2.4mil itb and 1FT any idea what I should do? Thinking King out.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      King to Haller or Abraham looks a good move.

      1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        +1

        Maybe leaving some money for VVD to TAA over the next few weeks would be good too

  15. Oh Mane Mane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Haller or Abraham due to rise tonight?

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

      fffix

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Could be both of them

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both are above the threshold for a rise, so yes. In future, this website http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/ is your best bet for price change predictions.

      NO

  17. Oh Mane Mane

    Have exact money to upgrade Ceballos to James... Thoughts on this?

    1. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd do it, after the game

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      kneejerk dont do it

    3. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years

      i'd do it

    4. Collie01

      No.

    5. Twisted Saltergater

      No way

  18. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does this need WC or any major tweaks?

    Heaton (4.0)

    Zinc Robbo TAA Digne (Rico)

    Salah Sterling Mount (Dendoncker) (Hayden)

    Pukki Haller Wilson

    1FT 0.3 ITB

    Thanks lads.

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

      Definitely not WC. I'd probably favour a stronger midfield but your forward line looks ideal so can't have them all.

    2. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t like your midfield

    3. simvik91
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Great team (midfield included). Hold FT.

    4. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      My gut feeling was to say WC but looking in more detail, your biggest problem is no KDB. You do have wilson and he's delivering and good fixtures. Perhaps robbo needs to go at some point. Just ask yourself how much do you want KDB. You'd probably have to downgrade one of the forwards + robbo to get him

  19. rokonto
    • 8 Years

    Haller or Abraham???
    To get in my team tonight.

    1. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What’s your front 3 atm?

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

        Aguero... Pukki... Wickham

        1. Baked baines
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I’ve got a Pukki-Haller-Abraham front 3.
          Jesus is back next GW. Potentially having 12m not be guaranteed a start is a reality!
          Use the extra cash to strengthen the team and consider double pool at the back if you’ve not already got it!

  20. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Is Tammy now the real deal for weeks everyone saying only good for championship?
    Thinking Greenwood to Tammy before he rises again?

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

      Greenwood to Tammy is an obvious upgrade to make if you have the money itb and aren't using it elsewhere

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Would like to see him score against non-promoted teams.

      1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This. His confidence looks strong which is what he's needed. But if you look at him as Haller price equivalent, you can swallow a rise or two while we have more information

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Playing 3 forwards every week?

  21. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    AWB + Ings

    A) Lundstram + Haller
    B) Söyüncü + Abraham

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

      A

  22. The Legend Squad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Montoya —> Kelly
    King —> Abraham

    Thoughts?

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

      Not a huge fan of either. Brighton have 2 good fixtures as do Bournemouth

  23. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years

    I pray Hassenhuttl hands Djenepo a start, I’d love to bring him in for Barkley

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Alternatively if by a Miracle McNeil drops I am aaaaall over that

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ah hello Ceballos hmm

    3. Nice to Finally Michu

      Don’t mind me

  24. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Balbuena or Kelly as bench fodder on a wildcard?

  25. Mr Peanutbutter
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would tripling up on City attack be wise?

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

      It just ruins the rest of the team balance of you have Sterling, KdB, Kun and Salah.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly and if you get Sterling & Aguero at the expense of Salah you limit your captain options & give yourself headaches and regrets over captaincy. I think Sterling/Aguero, salah & KDB is the optimal set up

        1. Mr Peanutbutter
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I have Sterling, KDB, Salah, and exactly enough in the bank to do Kane to Aguero

  26. FPL_JAAFAR

    Best first sub 4.5/4.6 defender?

  28. Francescoli

    Current wildcard. Any thoughts?

    Pope
    Zinchenko TAA Digne
    Salah KDB Mount Ceballos
    Aguero Pukki Haller

    Button; Lundstram Balbuena/Kelly Cantwell

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

      Fine but no Sterling would terrify me

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

        Tough one. I think Aguero matches Sterling imo.

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pukki to Barnes maybe

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

          Have considered that. Although I have quite a bit of value tied in Pukki

    3. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling doesn't score one week and he's out. Still Mancity offer so many options I spose..

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

        I have had Sterling since the start of the season. I’d love to keep him but it’s Sterling or Aguero. I’m backing Aguero right now.

  29. CRO KLOPP

    Need a bit of advice guys. I'm not happy about my team or my two mid 40 gws.

    Heaton

    TAA/Digne/Zinchenko

    Barkley/Sterling/Kdb/

    Pukki/Wilson/Kane/Trossard

    (Pope/Donker/Lundstram/
    Montoya)

    Took Salah+Auba out last gw for Sterling+Kane whom I both captained last two wks.

    Brought Pukki in for a hit before this deadline.

    What would you do?
    1ft zero itb

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

      Sorry Trossard should be in midfield obviously **

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      probably sort out Barkley and then figure out how you get Salah in? Kane can get points I dont think him to Aguero is as important as changing Barkley
