Abraham in top FPL form as Chelsea and Wolves’ defences ship more goals

Chelsea put in a dazzling attacking display to emerge 5-2 victors over Wolves at Molineux, with hat-trick hero Tammy Abraham (£7.3m) stealing the headlines to underline his credentials as one of the leading value-for-money forwards in 2019/20. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-5 Chelsea

Goals: Patrick Cutrone (£5.8m) Tammy Abraham (£7.3m) own-goal | Abraham x3, Mason Mount (£6.5m), Fikayo Tomori (£4.5m)

Assists: Matt Doherty (£6.0m) Roman Saïss (£4.4m) | Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) Jorginho (£5.0m), Michy Batshuayi (£6.7m)

Bonus: Abraham x3, Mount, Tomori x2

With all five of the goals from Frank Lampard’s side being scored by players produced from their academy, this was a performance and a result that strongly justified the Chelsea boss’s faith in youth during his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

There can be no doubting, though, that despite the emphatic team performance and such a bruising scoreline, this was an afternoon that belonged to Abraham. 

With seven goals from four league starts, and two braces and a hat-trick in his last three games, Abraham is continuing the goalscoring form that he displayed in 2018/19 whilst on loan at Aston Villa during their promotion-winning campaign from the Championship. 

The 21-year-old was exceptional throughout the afternoon at Molineux, and despite scoring an own-goal to reduce his haul by two points, Abraham’s total of 14 points was his highest of the season and his third successive double-digit haul. 

Owned by just 18.9% of managers, those who are still in possession of a Wildcard but may be considering deploying it over the coming weeks will find it difficult to resist the goalscoring appeal that Abraham is providing at an extremely competitive price. 

The England striker was supported in his goalscoring endeavours by fellow academy graduates Mason Mount (£6.4m) and Fikayo Tomori (£4.5m), who both scored well-taken goals. 

On his first league start for the club in 2019/20, Tomori fired an outstanding strike from 25 yards beyond the grasp of Rui Patricio (£5.1m) to give Chelsea an early lead alongside sending a timely reminder to Lampard that his assets as a player in the team are not solely defensive. 

Mount then rounded off the scoring after good work in the final third to add gloss to the scoreline that Lampard will hope can give this Chelsea side momentum heading into their next three fixtures against Liverpool (h), Brighton (h) and Southampton (a). 

Despite their highly impressive attacking display at Molineux, the defensive fragilities that have seen Chelsea keep no clean sheets in their first five Premier League fixtures were on show on Saturday afternoon, and managers monitoring assets of the west London side will certainly be more inclined to invest in their attacking options as opposed to their defence. 

Whilst Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m) did go down injured, Lampard confirmed his removal from play was more precautionary ahead of a packed run of fixtures. 

“He has a groin issue that he bothered, near me actually. It was more than a precaution. Hopefully not too bad. Hopefully, it is a quick turnaround.”

For Wolves, this was a result that continued their underwhelming start to the season, and any managers still in possession of defensive assets from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are likely to be considering moving them on. 

The 5-2 defeat to Chelsea marked Wolves’ fourth successive failure to keep a clean sheet, and the added pressure of Europa League football seems to already be taking its toll on the West Midlands side before the group stage has even begun. 

Whilst Patrick Cutrone (£5.8m) did register his first league goal for the club, there were very few positives for Wolves to take from the game as they were outclassed at home by a calibre of opposition who the Wanderers typically excel against. 

Yet whilst Wolves fell short of the standards they set for themselves in 2018/19, this was a performance that underlined Chelsea’s credentials as being serious challengers for Champions League qualification, whilst pointing to some extremely promising work being done by manager Lampard. 

If the Chelsea boss can persist in his faith of players such as Mount and Abraham, who are presently performing to an almost undroppable standard, then these are assets who could offer exceptional value into the Blues’ frontline. 

Whilst Mount is currently the top-owned Chelsea asset with an ownership of 21.9%, this is likely to change in the build-up to Gameweek 6 as Fantasy managers flock to the irresistible Abraham who is seemingly in the form of his life; defying critics who claimed the 21-year-old could not make the grade in the top-flight. 

Lampard will be extremely pleased with this result from Chelsea, and as the Blues bid to build on such an efficient performance with a challenging game against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge next weekend, it will be difficult for Fantasy managers not already in ownership of Mount and Abraham to continue ignoring these extremely exciting English prospects. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-5-2): Patricio; Vallejo, Coady, Saiss; Traore (Doherty 56′), Dendoncker (Cutrone 46′), Neves, Moutinho, Jonny; Jota, Jimenez (Gibbs-White 69′).

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): Kepa; Rudiger (Zouma 46′), Christensen, Tomori; Azpilicueta, Kovacic (Barkley 70′), Jorginho, Alonso; Willian, Abraham (Batshuayi 77′), Mount.

    The last Tammy goal looked like Drogba was on the field. This kid could really be something.

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Contemplating Tammy in for Barnes with my 1.0 in the bank.

      Even with the Liverpool fixure. Think he scores at least a goal then next few fixtures look nice with price on rise..

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah definitely tempted to get him now. Plus... Liverpool don’t seem to like clean sheets anymore ;b

    2. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Now... to bring him in: trade Barnes or King?

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        King, Barnes is more consistent

      2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Based on the their matches this week & a gut feeling; i’d actually say drop Barnes!?
        •Barnes Price could freefall with another blank,
        •while kings price already dropped
        •both players are hella inconsistent anyway, imo
        (unless u count King’s ‘consistent letdown’, ever since his epic Season as a MID? Lol)

      Yes it was good but should a premier league defender get brushed aside so easily?
      In case you think I am being too harsh I got him in yesterday.

  2. SkeletONv01

    5 years, 1 month ago

    NOTHING hurts more then reversal C pick when it comes to FPL:( Can ruin rank and selfesteem :[ Last GW? ay, im going against the forum, im gonna C Pukki, 2 points, this GW, ok, Sterling many votes, switched to him, if i would not log in to this site, i would be ahead. I blame TM.

      Played Lundstram over Pukki and brought in Otamendi rather than playing Cantwell. I mean... come on!!

    3. Albrightondknight

      My 500k would be 100k or at worst 200k with anything close to decent C picks. But it should average out over the season.

    Who would you prioritize to get in, Tammy or Son, I can’t get then both

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      son next week, tammy otherwise

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Makes sense

    2. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ooph. Son looked amazing. But hard to think he’s still better than kdb. Tammy for me.

  4. SkeletONv01
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Zidane was the best player, end of discussion, Ronaldo close(the real one), the hell is Zico or some Madonna

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Zizu—the best

    Salah, Sterling, De Bruyne, Lanzini, Ceballos
    Pukki, Barnes

    Any suggestions?

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great team, save FT, use 2 after, then WC if needed 🙂 I would never WC this lot.

  6. davies
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which first?*

    A) Ceballos > Son (-4)
    B) Dendoncker > Cantwell (-4)
    C) Both (-8)

    *Will do the other next week

    1. tucaoneo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      D none 😛

      1. davies
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why yes? 🙂 Why are people chasing after Son, dont get it.

          1. Soto Ayam
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Great fixtures, scores points, low ownership so it's assumed his price will rise once he starts firing. That does it for me anyways

  7. Bruce Lee
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    fpl is down?

    wanted to set my team for next week and leave this dross game out of my head

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bad GW?:P

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        lil bit

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is son essential ?

    I cud only do Sterling, martial -> KDB, Son

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to know that could backfire especially this week.
      Any limit on Sterlings CL time and I will go to the well for the third week in a row and throw the C on him. I have and want 3 of those 4 with the exception of Martial and even he still could be a great value pick.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have Sterling, mane, martial, son and Cantwell in midfield and can't fit son and KDB in there as I love to have both martial and mount

    2. AicilaXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No, he isn't.

  9. Lallana_
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted to WC to this. Anyone else I should consider?

    Pope 4.0
    Digne Tomori Lascelles Kelly Lundstram
    Son Salah Sterling De Bruyne Mount
    Abraham Pukki 4.5

    On the other hand having no Liverpool defence might be too risky. Alisson does make a difference for Liverpool in my opinion.

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son > Cantwell, Abraham > Firmino? But im liverpool fan so im biased 😛

      1. AicilaXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Don't see why anyone would want Firminho over Abraham right now.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very similar to where I am now.
      I have Mane for Salah
      Haller and Cantwelll for your Mounr and Greenwood.
      I even have gone for the Tomoroi punt too.
      Both our defence are pretty poor that's my worry but it seems the way to go based on how this season has been and Pool fixtures.
      I still plan a move back to 2 big Pool defenders when the fixtures swing back and Allison is fit.

      1. Lallana_
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same! Yeah no point investing so much into defence right now when it's not the play I feel.

        I'm considering Mane for Salah too. I expect similar numbers from them.

        Haller is a good player...might consider it for sure.

    3. Lallana_
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Aubameyang, Vardy, Buendia & Mane look good too

  10. Bruce Lee
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    would you wc?

    Pope
    TAA, Dunk, Lund
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, McGinn
    Firmino, Pukki

      Aubz isn’t a favourite here despite getting points every game week and having an easy run of fixtures for ages. Is it just because it’s hard to own him, Sterling and Pool attacker?

                    Fixed, guess we had different starts.

        102.6

          Another nice one so not as good as I thought.

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            102+ must be gud

      3. Dakers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mine is quite low, took a couple of big drops early on and was late to players like KDB. Only 101.5. Having a fairly torrid time with rank drops and things going wrong recently too, hopefully turn it around soon

        1. Dakers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, price drops taken included 2 on Perez and Siggy each, 1 on Wilson, can’t remember if there were others. 0.2 late on Pukki, Barnes, KDB, Lundstram, 0.1 on Mount, 0.3 on Cantwell having not played WC yet.

          Add all that up and that’s 1.2m extra above players starting prices - probably why my TV is lower than most of the other replies!

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            It's not the be all and end all.

      4. Chandler Bing
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wow. My 102.3 not looking that impressive anymore. However, I feel like anything above 102 is decent enough.

      5. waldo666
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        101.4!! Never been good at the value game, maybe I am too conservative although I am assuming quite a few have taken benefit from using their WC already.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I usually play it well enough. Get to over 106 usually by the dgws. But I find you can make the wrong call and go the more expensive option just cause you have the cash too. Leaving cash ITB can be the right call but feels wrong.

          1. waldo666
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I've never been anywhere near 106 in all my years of playing!!

              Have reached 107 in recent seasons.

              1. waldo666
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Unreal! I have considered changing tack over the years but I have good seasons and bad seasons regardless so not sure it would make too much of a difference to me.

                I thought you got to 108 last year?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I am going to take less hits this year so I doubt if TV will get that high.

      6. dmhomag

        102.7
        Still have WC
        100k OR

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That's how to play the game. Considering no WC used that is amazing.

        2. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Many hits so far?

        3. dmhomag
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          3 in total

          -8 in GW3 to mitigate the WC crowd TV impact

          -4 in GW4 to swap Kane+Dendonker to KDB+Tammy (Prior to Tammy's explosion I thought it was a mistake as a straight Kane > Aguero for free was better).

      Lets do the real talk, will Arsenal get relegated this season?:>

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 7 Years

          Its a good advice, but you know im not gonna listen ;]

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nahh they will still make top 6

    15. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dendoncker to Cantwell done with FT. WC still available, and was just gonna Roll FT otherwise this week but did it to catch price swings as I know I wanted him in as an option to play rather than Lundstram or Rico every week.

      Trying not to overthink moves too much, and just hoping things start going better. My big hitters/captain/differentialish picks can’t fail every week, surely!

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's the spirit

      2. SkeletONv01
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not trying to be a di**, but i dont see the point in WC so late unless your team is just terribad. Use it early, jump on the bandwagons, make some money 🙂

        1. Dakers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No point playing it if my team is largely alright and just players being unlucky/underperforming compared to bandwagons I don’t currently own.

          Pointless WCing to only make 2 or 3 changes, surely?

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I'm with you - WC intact, my team is what I want it to be, and my rank su*** despite having had most high ranking players so far.....

            Wrong captain decision, no chips played etc etc......

            But I'm not wildcarding for the sake of it....

        2. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          What if one already owns said "bandwagons"?

    16. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      As an Arsenal supporter, that was one of the worst Arsenal performances I've ever seen. Watford didn't deserve to be losing at HT and embarrassed us in the second half. I've been behind Emery this whole time but enough is enough, our system does not look like it ever be particularly successful. Also, Pepe and Ceballos buyers, I did warn you that both were kak options. Pepe has been particularly useless, decision making in the final third awful and Ceballos while he looks good, doesn't appear to be much of a fantasy option. Auba is the only Arsenal player worth owning but Arsenal's creativity needs to improve aswell. Can't rely on him scoring screamers.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah as a auba owner I am worried about service to him

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          We're currently bottom half of the table for xG. I've watched all our matches and the only game we looked good in attack was against Spurs.

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah that's because Spurs played higher up d pitch and there was a lot of space to run into - it's the same with us man united we struggle against smaller teams to break them downn

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yep exactly. Rashford is particularly useless against teams sitting back.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Actually I should watch Arsenal tv after a performance like that. I need a giggle.
        If I am honest I can't understand why players of the quality of Auba and even Laca hang around. Until they sort defence and some mids they win nothing. Surely Auba walks in to most big teams in Europe?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yep Auba would walk into any big club in Europe...only been here 1.5 seasons though.

    17. yakirh
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on my WC draft?

      Lloris
      Otamendi AMN Rico (Lundstrum Soyuncu)
      Sterling Mane Son Mount Cantwell
      Auba Wilson (4.4)

      Will rotate defenders

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cantwell doesn't cover Pukki.

        1. yakirh
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Cantwell doing enough to be playable or rotate with 4.5 defenders

          I dont want Pukki I want some differentials

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You'll play him every GW with that lineup.

          2. Eleven Hag
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Wish my ML rivals think the same way 🙂

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        3 strikers are must

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I disagree, but 2 are 😛

        2. yakirh
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Cant fit 3 strikers with Auba Sterling Mane Son

    18. Lallana_
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      This attack good enough on a wildcard?

      Mane Sterling Son Cantwell
      Aubameyang Abraham Pukki

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Of course.

        1. Lallana_
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Great. Settled on this right now. Just need to make a good defence with Digne.

      2. SkeletONv01
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dayum, very nice, and flexible in term of transfers, can just do 1 for premium mid or forward 🙂

    19. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cant wait for the fresh Auba and Son owners to get rewarded with 2 pointers :> Those Kanes and Salahs you get rid for em, cant wait for tears :>

      1. SkeletONv01
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        * for -8 even! :>

        2 I think.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Between GW 8/9 and 12/13.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Google "England fixtures".
        4 games this year so 2.

    21. dshv
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Which one from that defence you will downgrade?

      1. Virgil
      2. Robbo
      3. Digne
      4. Walker

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        4

    22. SkeletONv01
      • 7 Years

      Im taking your advice TM, off to bed 😛 Good night folks!

    23. Hits from the Bong
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B is the sensible option isn’t it?

      A. Son + Rico
      B. Mount + Digne

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but A is the better one

    24. Puyol Pants Up
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hey lads, thoughts?

      Pope
      TAA, VVD, Digne
      Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
      Haller, King

      McGovern, Lundstarm, Rico, Greenwood

      0.5 ITB, 1 FT

      No clue what to do, can't afford Pukki without taking a hit. King finally returned and has Southampton coming up. Still have my WC so don't mind doing some risky moves. Any ideas?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wait until UCL and that. Maybe VVD out time. Raise funds that way and get pukki next week think Burnley can squeeze norwich if anyone can

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Team looks good for this week

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yup, was thinking VVD --> Anyone and leave money for King --> Tammy/Pukki for next GW

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Perfecto

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Who would you get for VVD though? No defenders look appealing :/

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Maybe soy in your case and play Rico this week? Or go for someone more fun like vestergaard. I have Schär on WC from last week and I think he’ll be my replacement. You have a few decent defenders who can fill in for his bad fixtures. Have a play around in members area and see who pops up that works for you

    25. Klein
      • 9 Years

      The main reson i wced was to bring in c wilson and aubam and a week later i sold both of them. What a crap.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 8 Years

        Why would you sell when neither blanked and had nice fixtures coming up >:(

        1. Klein
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I was on wc
          Tinkered a bit too much. Got barnes and pepe later

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Oh rats. Auba was the only good thing I did on WC

            1. Klein
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I got bumped by xG. Pepe had more when they both played.

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah I was set on Pepe all IB when looking at stats. It was when I found out about Laca injury that I knew I had to have Auba playing up front

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Got them on WC and sold 3 days later, 5 days before the deadline.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Still a great rank.

        1. Klein
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Dropped a lot and looking at my team not sure what i can expect from them.
          Did pukki to wilson to end up with barnes.

          1. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

            You got Pukki back 29 minutes later.

            1. Klein
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Again sold

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Bottom line, you didn't want Pukki.
                Need to sort that Arsenal mess soon.

            2. Klein
              • 9 Years

    26. Klein
      • 9 Years

      Man utd assets will be very good value next season when they start at 5mils.

        Really? All the non top 6 look shite, even the top 6 look shite. West Ham I feel have the biggest chance of breaking in. Only team to keep norwich out can only mean one thing

          The top 6 look shite apart from City and Liverpool. Spurs the best of a bad bunch. Chelsea have been impressive but expect them to struggle with CL considering their young and thin squad. United and Arsenal are both rubbish and have Europa League to worry about. West Ham are in the conversation for worst team in the league defensively despite keeping Norwich out.

            Yeah agree but that’s never been how Pellegrini plays our attack is insane. Haller Anderson Lanzini and fornals (best player imo) hasn’t had the chance to be fully introduced yet. It’s our year.
