How the top 10k FPL managers set up for Gameweek 5

A number of Fantasy Premier League managers inside the top 10,000 deployed key chips for Gameweek 5.

5.2% of them opted to use the Wildcard over the international break, while 2.6% went for a Triple Captain.

With each passing Gameweek, the top 10k becomes less and less influenced by those who used multiple chips in the earliest rounds.

With Gameweek 5 now in the mix, only 37.9% of those in the highest echelon of FPL have deployed two chips.

12.7% have used three while 3.8% have already committed four of their chips.

As things stand, 32.2% of those in the top 10k have now used their Wildcard and we can also take a look at which players were the most popular in the Gameweek 5 editions.

By far, the most fashionable option in Gameweek 5 Wildcards among top 10k managers is Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m).

He has been selected in 77.2% of such squads, 7% more than any other player – which made for plenty of frustration when it was revealed he was on the bench for the trip to Norwich City.

Behind the Belgian is, not surprisingly, budget Sheffield United defender John Lundstram (£4.2m), who has been racking up regular game-time in the Blades’ central midfield trio.

Interestingly, it would appear that a number of Fantasy managers at the top level are opting for a double-pivot of bargain bucket defenders.

41.8% of top 10k managers who Wildcarded for Gameweek 5 also included Crystal Palace’s injured centre-back Martin Kelly (£4.1m) in their side.

That brings the total of top 10k managers in possession of both Lundstram and Kelly to 23.7%.

It is clear that the double savings in defence were influenced by interest in the more expensive Manchester City attackings.

Raheem Sterling (£12.3m) was snapped up by 66.2% of top 10k Wildcarders for Gameweek 5 with 58.4% going for Sergio Aguero (£12.1m), making him the most-fashionable forward in such squads.

Interestingly, a total of 30.2% of the top 10k Wildcarders opted for both players in their brand new squads, although the two combined for just one attacking return against Norwich.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), who scored nine points in Saturday’s lunch-time game also features in the Wildcard picture here with 65.4% of those wielding that chip among the top 10k retaining faith in him.

The 35.7% who brought in Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) will be very happy with his huge haul away at Wolves and it’s interesting to see that he was preferred to fellow goal-scorer Mason Mount (£6.4m), who did not feature among the most popular midfield assets.

Instead, the man in that price bracket who drew the attention of Wildcarders in the top 10k was Daniel James (£6.2m), although he blanked against Leicester while Mount found the net late-on at Wolves.

We saw that Gameweek 3 Wildcards at this level largely featured a disposal of Liverpool defenders, but they are clearly back in fashion despite failing to keep a second clean sheet of the campaign against Newcastle.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) both feature among the most popular defenders in top 10k Wildcards, the right-back selected in 45.9% of these and his centre-back colleague in 29.9%.

Gameweek 5 Captains

Meanwhile, there was a big difference between the top 10k and everybody else when it came to choosing captains for Gameweek 5.

Those in the upper echelons largely favoured Aguero, with 39.1% of them handing the Manchester City man the armband.

Salah was backed by 30.9% and Sterling 19.2%.

The vote was much more evenly split from an overall perspective with Salah just about the most popular with a share of 23.3%.

Sterling was just behind him on 21.5% while Aguero was off in third place with 15.4%.

Not surprisingly given Norwich’s situation coming into Gameweek 5, there were also a number of Triple Captain chips deployed in the top 10k.

As already mentioned, 2.6% of them played this enhanced captaincy chip.

The majority of these were played on Aguero, 1.2% of those in the top 10k choosing the Manchester City forward, 0.6% on Sterling and 0.6% on Salah.

    Which combo is better?

    A) Son & Söyüncü

    B) Firmino & Söyüncü

    C) VVD & Robbo

    Zinchenko to Tamori GW7?

    Zinchenko to lose his spot to Mendy and Tamori looks nailed? Or does he?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea yet to keep a clean sheet

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tomori not worth the risk unless Chelsea show signs of improving defensively, maybe Kante and Rudiger will improve that but can't say anything now.

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering Aurier if he starts one more week. Spurs have great fixtures after Lei

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tomori isn’t going to score wonder goals every week, and they aren’t keeping clean sheets, so I’d hold off. Also, if they return to a back four again I’m not sure he’s a certain starter.

  3. simong1

    Worth bringing in Tammy now to make use of any price rises this week or wait one more week til after his game against Liverpool??

    1. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve brought him in for price rise reasons. Worst case you can always swap him back out

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I still think he could score v Liverpool, it’s at home

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It’s unprecedented to have multiple mid priced top performing strikers. If the lot the one in the best team is Tammy. He’ll get 20+ this season if he doesn’t get injured, so his price is going to rise fast. People can buy knowing they’ll hold him and prefer to get at lowest price

  4. HVT

    Rashford -> Abraham a no brainer?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes imo but WHU defence is leaky so might wait for a week, But if you wanna catch Abraham rise then go ahead!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Wait a week

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Bottomed
    How does this look for next week? I'm really irritated with Double Liverpool defence but not sure what to do..

    Pope(Button)
    TAA VVD Otamendi Digne(Rico)
    Salah Sterling KDB Ceballos (Dendoncker)
    Pukki Barnes(Greenwood)

    1ft, 0.5 itb.

    A)Dendoncker to Cantwell and bench VVD
    B)VVD to Lundstram/Aurier/Other cheapie
    C)Save and evaluate with 2 FT's next week
    D)Other

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I also have TAA, VVD and Salah and really do not want to get rid of any but may have to do VVD to Matip to keep double Piol defence and get Haller.

      Alisson will be back and that will make things so much better.

      Getting back VVD takes hits if you do not have enough cash.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Makes sense but the upcoming fixtures are not favourable either..
        That's what really worries me. Also the mid priced midfielders and forwards are killing it.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Not to fazed about the fixtures. Pool defence guarantees attacking returns.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for today's game but I'm looking at AMN...

  6. Rinseboy

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is Mane worth the saving over Salah? Or do we still think Salah will outscored him over the next 5-6 weeks to make it worth it.

    Switching to Mane would afford me Barnes to Tammy but I know last year I got burnt dropping Salah at the wrong time!

    Would welcome thoughts as happy for Salah to outscored Mane by a few points and I do think Mane is just as much captain material as Salah based on end of last season and this season so far.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who knows. They look about on par, so maybe.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The problem is getting rid of Salah and then trying to fit him back in.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Why is that a problem? He's not exactly seeing price rises

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          yeah this. I just think if Tammy continues with their fixtures coming up. He will outscored Banres by a fair bit and Mane wont be far off Salah

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Who do you take out of your team to bring back Salah?

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Dunno, depends what happens when it happens. But it's as easy to get him in as it is to own him right now. If anything, it will be easier if the player you bring in has a few price rises.

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It's not really a problem

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Who do you lose to bring back Salah?

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Whoever I lost him to. He doesnt rise much

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Or anyone else lol. Not sure what the problem is. Easy 2 Fts

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The way Firmino is setting them up theres a case for both

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He's just as good and worth it, but I wouldn't do Barnes to Tammy this week. He has Norwich. Hence just keep Salah.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        yeah true just have 2 FT to burn so was going to line up the Tammy move by freeing funds this week getting Mane for Salah

    5. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mané very good at scoring goals against the slightly weaker teams, but I have more faith in Salah going forward with the tougher fixtures, more of a game changer

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I prefer that though I more likely to captain a pool attacker in those easy games and Mane is a real captain option then

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years

      Should have done it on wc last week. Too much toilet paper goes to waste. Well la di da

  7. Team Cruel

    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Scotland will be so fun to watch for years to come with Robbo, McT, Tierney, Pukki, McGinn etc. Think they'll be the surprise package at WC2022

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Pukki?

        People forget he's swedish

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

        He's the real deal imo. This isn't just a purple patch

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      A big surprise playing a Finn

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I can see how the flag colors confuse you but Pukki is Finnish. He loves his Saunas

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He's not finished, he's 29

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years

          You should Finnish him off then

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years

      But you can add Ryan Fraser to that.

    5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Fraser too

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It's not that easy. Wales had a bunch of brilliant players in the 90ths but they were far away nonetheless. Pukki plays for Finland

  8. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years

    A. TAA + KDB

    or

    B. Sterling + 4.5m def

      A all the way.

    4. FOO FIGHTER

      Do you have Aguero?

  9. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I'm going into GW6 with Pukki, Barnes and double Liverpool defense because I want them for the Sheffield game. Feel like this isn't the week to get Abraham in.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Even me, Although I'm considering Dendoncker to Cantwell and bench VVD for Chelsea, do you think that is stupid?

  10. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What am I to do? What's wrong with this team? 1FT and 0.9 mill in the bank.

    Pope
    VVD Digne Zinchenko lundstram
    Sterling Salah kdb mount
    Pukki Wilson

    Button; Greenwood, dendoncker, Soyuncu

    Do I need to be patient?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good to me.

      I'd make some small tweaks over time e.g. VVD -> Trent, Dendocker -> Cantwell

      Like the Wilson pick

    2. dshv
      • 6 Years

      On mids and forwards i am the same but have dilva not kdb

      I am thinking what is wrong too

      Zinchenko and Wood out maybe?

      Same situation as me below

      1. Manumana
        • 8 Years

        Yes. But they both have a good fixture up next mate

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Downgrade one of the Liverpool defenders to a 4.5 price range and upgrade Wood or Greenwood

  13. THFC4LIFE

        Don't do this

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Leaky defence, no clean sheets.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tricky. I'd consider getting in Soyuncu for Mings. Not someone you want to play this week, but looks a good option to rotate with Cantwell from GW7

    3. theswallow1965
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks fine to me. I personally wouldn’t change Zinchenko to Aurier. City defence will be fine.

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

        City defense will not be fine. Zinchenko will lose his spot within 3 gameweeks anyway

        1. theswallow1965
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

  16. Oooo Matron

    Who's the best Zinchenko replacement? Aurier could be good but rotation always is worry. 5.5 itb with TAA, Digne, Lundstrom & Rico at the moment.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aurier is simply not an option

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Probably Mina or Coleman

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          But wouldn't sell him

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He could be. I would wait to see if he starts next week though...he is what Tottenham has been begging for at fullback, beasty performance last night

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          And if you look at the fixtures after Lei, he could be gold

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Fixtures are great but full back situation at Spurs has not changed. None of them are options.

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              He could be imo. I'll take the gamble if he repeats against Lei what he did last night...that position has been begging for stability at spurs

              1. Respect My Authoritah
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                CL has started. Even if he's "first choice" he will miss a fair few PL games, just as Trippier did. Take the risk if you want, but there's zero to suggest anything has changed.

                Plus, Aurier isn't even good and Spurs aren't exactly solid.

                1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  He was pretty darn good yesterday. And he was pretty good at PSG. Injuries and off field problems have hampered him

                  1. Respect My Authoritah
                    • 10 Years

                    Pretty selective choices of performances there. Was full fit fairly often at Spurs and been atrocious. Off-field issues maybe, but that's always an easy excuse for players

                      He has had injuries, and a car crash...one of the legit cases...not fireworks in the bathroom

                        He has, but you're generalising to make your point. He had lots of patches of being fully fit and plenty of poor performances.

                        One good game v Palace (who were awful) and suddenly he's an option?

                        Let's say he turns everything around and is consistently great for Spurs, he will still miss too many games to make him a viable option. The Spurs full backs have always rotated.

                        Ben Davies was fantastic for me couple seasons ago.

            2. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              No value.

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Why not? If he is nailed, he could be a gem at 4.9...he bombs forward alot. Anything to back what you just said?

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why do you need one?

  17. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Worth ditching Ryan for a 4.0 to free up the funds, he’s done nothing so far?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who's your other keeper?

      1. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Pope

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Then yes If there are no pressing concerns, Even I have gone Pope set and forget.

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would never start Ryan over pope, regardless of the fixtures

  18. pjanns
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope
    Lundstram - Soyuncu - VVD
    Sterling - Salah - KDB- Martial
    Pukki - Haller - Abraham

    (Buttons - Cantwell - Montoya - Rico)

    VVD + Martial —> Dunk + Son (-4)?

    Or just hold and okay Cantwell.

    I feel I already know the sensible answer.

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

      Okay* —> Play

  19. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which option?

    A) TAA/Kelly
    B) Digne/Maitland-Niles (no TAA)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      This is to upgrade Greenwood to Abraham and keep Haller/Pukki

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A if Kelly is your 5th def

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers! Will be 5th, other defs will be Soy, Lundstram, TAA and Zinchenko (out next week for another 5.5)

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Think Kelly will play when back after knock?

  20. FPL Joker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) Triple Sheffield United defense and KdB

    B) Matip, Otamendi, Stones & Mount

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both options are equally bad

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. FPL Joker
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I can donTAA and 2 4.5s. Who? Is that better?

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      C

    3. FPL Joker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Defense is rubbish everywhere. No defenders worth having.

  21. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I play with Pukki Barnes and Greenwood upfront, I'll downgrade a defender and get tammy next week.

    Yes or no

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Which def do you downgrade?

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I have 2ft.

          Vvd and robbo for taa and a £4.5 defender plus money itb will allow me to get tammy next week

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm doing this. Abraham blanks against Liverpool imo

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think and hope so

  22. bruuuno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Does my plan over next few weeks look good?

    Trossard > Ceballos
    Montoya > Söyüncü
    Kane > Abraham
    Greenwood > Haller
    Rico > Tomori or Burnley defender

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

    Pukki is killing my rank at the moment, plan was Jota to Barnes who I still feel could be the better pick this week but starting to think I need to play the ownership game a little and just get him on board instead. Frustrating as I was going to wait until GW8 before investing in the hope Pukki struggled against City, Burnley and Palace defence but feels a bit foolish now.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Get Pukki in now. His price will rise and he is going to score loads.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Watching Norwich play makes this an easy answer really. The clear standout budget forward

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Get him

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Dont wait any longer. I waited too long to get Jimmy last season and regretted it. Got Pukki the day after his Hatty

  24. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    News on Tammy?

  25. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I’m surely not the only one having a stinker his year. OR just inside the 2million mark. Last 2 season finished 6k OR. Already 70 pts behind in my main ML. Will need to graft out a few results or it could be a long season

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      o/
      I hear you

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Our luck will surely change Thomas Shelby but the ladder seems more like a beanstalk to climb at then mo.

        Could do with a Haller or Digne haul. Even a no show from one of them would do to get Cantwells 6 pts off my bench 😉

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          A Digne and Haller haul would really be nice! Really hope our luck changes fast.

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      In a same wagon. Really difficult to get good GW's already out of LMS too

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Ya I got dumped out of LMS in Gw4. Rage WC’d over Int break when I prob didn’t need to. Pre WC team then batters post WC team.
        Got rid of AWB Robbo Rashford and wait for it....Pukki for Barnes. Oh dear

        1. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Out of LMS in gw3 here I still have my wc in a pocket OR 2.6ml.

  26. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So yeah lol at my wildcard.

    Last minute decided to go Barnes over Pukki and Ayew/Hayden over Greenwood/Cantwell.. That didn't go great.

    Red arrow and OR 1M

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I took a minus 8 hit, dropped to 390k. The margins are very fine so not to phazed about the hit.

      I still have Digne and McGinn to go so hopefully they can rescue my GW.

      Now I have to decide to take another -8 hit to get in Haller.

      That will set my team up for GW6 to 14.

      Fingers crossed...

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Hope the hits work out. A digne haul would be very lovely

        1. df34
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Horrendous GW , gone from 70k to 260k. If Digne scores , I’ll probably propose to him and marry him.

  27. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Tra

    Heaton button
    Taa digne pieters soy Lund
    Salah sterling kdb martial dendoncker
    Pukki joelinton greenwood

    1FT 1.8 itb

    Joelinton to haller/ Abraham a solid move?

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is Martial going to be back next week?

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Hopefully, if not who would you replace him with?

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mount/Son? But yeah Joelinton has to go also.

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            0.1 short of son sadly 🙁

  28. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Would you start Cantwell ahead of VVD for GW6 if you also had Pukki and TAA?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, Pool only cs in 1 of 5 games and VVD doesn’t score much

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’d play VVD

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      May as well downgrade him if you're contemplating not playing him every week.

    4. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I’d defo play Cantwell. Pool won’t keep CS against Chelsea imo. And that Norwich counter...

  29. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Already have Lowton but considering Ryan > Pope next GW.

    Too much with a Burnley defensive double up?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best cheap GK around

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I am in same boat but don’t want Burnley double up

  30. Modest Bob
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I have just put 50p on Norwich top 4 finish partly because Pukki is finish. 150/1

    2. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is 150-1 the best they'd give you for Norwich to finish in the top four?? Seriously?????
