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.

    Guess what % of the top 10K got all 3 risers tonight - Mount, Cantwell and Pukki?

        Cantwell Norwich 27.68%
        Pukki Norwich 57.99%
        Mount Chelsea 28.05%

        Most can only be 27.68%

    2. dmhomag

      Did not expect Mount ownership to exceed Cantwell. No better 4.x fodder.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Answer is 6.21% before transfers.

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

    I can only choose one, either Pukki or Barnes.

    Who will score more over the next 3 GWs?

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I've got both, but am digging in for pukki for the season

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pukki! I have both, though looking to offload Barnes for Tammy in a week or so

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

    Heaton

    Vvd - robbo - digne - walker

    Salah - sterling - mount - dilva

    Pukki - wilson

    (Lund, green, dendo)

    1. Vvd+dilva to 4.5+son
    2. Vvd+dilva to 4.5 and upgrade green?

    Also thinking to downgrade vvd now for the match with chelsea or there have possible clean sheet

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

      It's Son or someone like Firminio or Vardy so?
      I would go Son on form and fixtures. He is streaky get him while he is hot.
      The 4.5 needs to rotate with Lund so I think Soyuncu is best.

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

    Best route here chaps?

    A) GW6: KWP -> Rico
    GW7: Coleman & Dilva -> Lundy & Son

    B) GW6: KWP -> Rico
    GW7: Dilva & Martinelli -> Cantwell & Abraham

    Ryan
    TAA, Digne, Coleman, Zinchenko
    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Mount
    Wilson, Pukki

    Button, KWP, Deondocker, Martinelli
    Bank 0.0m, 2FT, WC available

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ughhh, B) should be a 4.6m defender instead of Rico

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

      I am for A because thinking for Son too

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Get Rico and have both options open?

  5. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope Button
    VVD Otamendi Lowton Lund Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Pukki Barnes Haller

    1FT / 1.1m ITB

    Should I save FT this week of would you do Barnes --> Tammy ?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing to change

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

    Ryan
    VVD Digne Maguire Zinch
    Salah Sterling KDB Trossard Dendonker
    Haller King Greenwood

    Utterly shocking start to the season

    Best use of FT? Trossard > Cantwell which leaves money for King > Pukki/Tammy the week after?

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

      missing defender is Rico

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think I would save the FT and do both transfer next week.

      What do you think you should do?

      You know who the weaklinks are.

    2. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not a fan of that team but points might come

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Most eligible team that I saw here for WCing

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

        I don't know can it not be sorted with Jota and Dilva out?

    4. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Can u afford Vardy+Dilva –to> Tammy+KDB?
      **Prob also need to do Jota –to>
      a] Pukki (for the total-template)
      b] Wilson (under the radar?)
      c] Deulofail (major Diff, & cause I always think he’s about to go on a run! lol)

  8. Moolaah
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How to improve this team.
    Pope, Button
    TAA, Digne, Zinchenko, Soyuncu, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Haller, Pukki, Greenwood
    0.5 ITB

    Having a worst start in 3 years, mainly because of poor choice of captain. The fixtures is good, but then Sterling didn't perform in 2 back to back GW.

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Team is good enough. Nothing to be changed I feel

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

        Yeah, that I what I feel. Will look back after mid-week European games.

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

      feel the same.

    3. fantasyxprt11
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That's a tough one, I would downgrade zinch to Rico, and upgrade greenwood to Barnes or are you just short .1 for that?

      1. fantasyxprt11
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Also maybe get son in for kdb, that would make all 3 possible over 2 or 3 weeks ofcourse

        1. fantasyxprt11
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Save the transfer this week, and take a hit next week and do these 3 would be my suggestion!)

        2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Son to KDB is Hella Kneejerk, imo!
          lol

          ...i’m more interested in having both! They look like great value!

          1. Deli Alli OxenFree!
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            *KDB to SON

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

        Thanks for the suggestion.

  9. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I had 3 options before GW5 deadline

    Martial + Rashford to

    1. Mane + Ayew
    2. Pepe/Son + Haller
    3. James + Auba

    Aaand I went with Pepe and Haller. Annoying.

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

      Chill. Haller hasn't played yet.

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

      2 with Son

      1. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Guessing u just skimmed his comment, and thought it was a question
        LOL!
        ...but Your Reply is funny and ironic as hell!

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Haller could do well tonight.

  10. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    This season is horrendous. 2 million OR and no idea what’s wrong..? Captaincy is the only key to doing well at this game apparently.

    Pope
    Digne Walker AWB
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount James
    Pukki Barnes

      Points chasing hasn't worked for you after WCing.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Haven’t really chased at all. Held Martial, made the wrong call on Kane

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Chased Salah, chased Barnes, chased James.

          I had Kane too in GW 3.

          GWs 3-5 139 - 175 and that included no great captains.

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            That’s complete waffle. I made a call of Kane over Salah on WC and had to rectify it based on his abysmal performance and Spurs in general. Barnes is a long term move and James only came in this week as a placeholder for an injured Martial.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              So Barnes stays over all the alternatives now?
              If you were WCing this GW, how many of your 11 would be there?

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Happy with all of them, and have been patient as can be seen from my transfers.

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

              2. Nabs Kebabs
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Removing Barnes would now ahead of NOR would be points chasing. Bringing him in when he had form and fixtures was not points chasing at all.

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Playing Pool when bringing him in was a bit but that's what his budget allowed.
                  Spending in defence has made the team less flexible playing the patient game.

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    You've brought in Tammy ahead of Liverpool...points chasing?

                    1. TorresMagic™

                      • 14 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      You hacked my team or believe everything you read?

          2. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            calm down bro you've had one good GW

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              That's all it takes to halve the rank.
              Could be his turn in GW6.

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Hopefully yours doubles next GW 😉

                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Probably will.
                  I see yours did.

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Actually mine tripled 😆

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      captain call makes a huge difference hey... did you go Raheem this last GW?

      team looks fine imo - perhaps lacks one pool defender

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Similar situation. Need some north London coverage. Badly.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      you would be in the top 500k if you had played a couple of chips like many above you.

      look at the number of points to top 10k and relax

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

        Exactly, plus way more players this season and rising. Those burning their chips for the glow of a few GWs of high rank will stop playing by Christmas.

    5. Moolaah
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Slightly better than mine. The difference is I failed when choosing the captain.

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

        RMT and Captain's poll is a decent indicator for captain.

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

          Yeah, I know. But Sterling hate me. Hahahaha

    6. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Team looks good, i wouldn't care about my rank after only 5 Gameweeks.
      Differential or two + a right captaincy choices are only needed.
      No way i would give you an advice about captaincy options, if i picked the top 10% captaincy average last season i would have ended in top 5. Even my Vice captain this year are doing much better than captain Son 16 Vardy 16 Salah 15 last 3 Gws.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Top 10k*

    7. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      OR looks pretty meaningless at this stage. I'm in top 1 mil but only 17 points ahead of you. TM is 400k spots ahead of me but only 7 points...

      Abraham midweek game and playing Pool and Zjnchenko home to Watford. Maybe wait.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah i wait for GW6, will do both transfer on gw 7 , saving transfer for gw6 mate

  12. Moolaah
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Auba going under the radar.

    Return in every GW so far and just scored the highest GW return for the season, Auba has really impressed. Unfortunately with Salah, Sterling and KDB in the team, not much I can do to fit him in. With Laca injured, Auba has played centrally and that really suit him since he has the same conversion rate as Aguero with fewer chances. Is Auba is in your plan? And with your current team setup how do you plan to fit him in your team?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Leaving him out, not worth ripping up team for, is Arsenal at the end of the day, they’ll have poor games i reckon.

    Laporte Alisson Luiz

    How is a single player able to have such a massive impact on defensive outcomes when we are talking about top clubs with cover in every position?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      it’s not necessarily the players missing, it’s the quality of the replacements that is the issue

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t think alisson absence affected liverpool that much.
      If VVD is injured we would be in a worse situation than city defence.

      1. Party time
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Alisson is the reason why pool can't keep a cs atm. Even in big games last season, he kept many although all of the defense do their bits

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Don't think Allison was stopping that shot earlier. Don't think anyone could have.

      2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Kind of agree with your comment...

        But maybe it’s a bit of a stretch to call 1 or 2 Results, when we’re 5 Matches into the Season= “a Massive Impact”...?
        LOL

        Also (as a Liverpool Supporter), I don’t think Adrian has been much different than Allison would have been?
        ...ntm, Both Luis AND Arsenal have def been prone to Error, for a while now!

      Waiting for Heaton cs tonight to break that Haller good owners. Is there any chance to happen?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years

        No. Haller is down for 5 goals and 3 assists.;-)

        No what will happen is a Haller hattie. McGinn goal and assist.
        Then after Haller goes off after hattie - Heaton saves a pen.
        So Heaton does ok in the end.
        Hazard a guess who I got left this week? 🙂

              It's actually Chewie Luey.
              Peewee Stairmaster is a good one too.

    5. KINGS
      • 5 Years

      Having Che Adams as differential. So far doesn’t work

        May as well have Greenwood.

    6. doy
      • 6 Years

      On a wildcard....how does a front 3 of Haller Tammy Pukki sound? I already own Haller & Pukki.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'd consider Wilson over Haller.

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

          Fair shout, Wilson is class eh....would need to cough up a little bit of cash to trade Haller for Wilson. Cheers!

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Got those 3 happy enough to hold all 3 for several weeks and see how it goes.

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

          Nice one, awesome form and strikeforce!

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

      KDB or Raz to Son on a WC...madness? I think if Son gets his minutes, he can match or surpass KDB this season....as great as KDB is!

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

        You know it is very possible to have all 3.
        Just no forwards above about 8 mil and you can still have Mane and maybe even Salah too.
        Not like there is not choice in the mid to lower price forward options.
        But if you are set on something like Auba then it can't work.

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Get all 3. Plenty of decently priced forwards to get the 3 in midfield.

      3. Crazygopher
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would keep kdb. If getting rid of raz Thought of getting in kun or aub as well as son. And going cheaper in defence

      4. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        How about getting Kdb and Having Eriksen too.

        Eriksen is on set pieces and at 8.8 he is fantastic value.

        Son at times gets subbed off early unlike Eriksen.

        Son is explosive though. But if Eriksen gets a goal he most likely gets 3 bonus

      5. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not madness at all. If not captaining sterling (many aren't now) then it's worth selling for a cheaper mid

      6. doy
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting, cheers guys. Plenty to mull over this week! Tinker galore!

    8. Crazygopher

      Rash/ vvd to aub/ rico for -4. Have ceb. Yes or no ?

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

        Not a -4 for me.

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

        just vvd to rico

      Dont think there has been a season with so many attacking options at your disposal

      Picking 8 players from below list is so hard. Better pick 8 players and stick rather than chasing last gw points. Agree?

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          ofcourse. btw kudos to your mane pick over salah. looks like he's more than capable of matching or even outscoring salah for 1m cheaper 😉

          being on pens and set peices is the reason i opted for salah

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

            Same number of goals since start of last season but Salah has assists too Mane does not.
            But for 1 mil less that will do me fine.

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Still might do the swap for safety reasons later.
            He loses value if not captaining.

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

        And don't forget the premium defenders will kick in sooner or later and we will want them back after splurging on the front 7/8

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          not sure. arsenal united chelsea spurs everton all shaky at the back.

          laporte injuryn means city are vulnerable and liverpool is the only team i trust and even they are shaky this season

    10. Weeb Kakashi

      Pick one on WC

      A Eriksen Pukki Mount

      Rest of the front line

      Sterling Mane KDB

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              0.7 Erik is 8.8

              Not possible unless i drop Sterling for Auba.

              Its Auba Son
              OR
              Sterling Eriksen

      3. Crazygopher

    11. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Morning deadline. Best move here. 750k and plummeting.

      Pope.
      TAA. Dunk. Lundstram.
      Salah. Sterling. KDB. Mount.
      Pukki. Barnes. Haller.

      4.0. Cantwell. Emerson*. Soyoncu. 0.0ITB. 2FTs.

      Thinking a hit for Sterling, Haller, Emerson -> Auba(c), Son, Tomori/4.5.

      Exact cash. Any other weak links?

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

        Not sure Aubameyang and Son will outscored Sterling and Haller by much.

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's mainly to find some differential captaincy picks. Following the herd has be in freefall and it's boring

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

        Why selling Raz before Watford home ?

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Because he'll probably blank. Watching the games he is no longer the star player. Kun is. Raz is stuck on the wing and looks like getting a couple of assists at most each match

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Cool
            I think he should be fine tbh. Go with your git feeling though. GL 🙂

          Dunno. Defence seems to be where you can save cash to upgrade further up the pitch. Go for a 4.5

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

        Soyuncu
        Rotate nicely with Dunk/Lundstram for 3rd Defender spot

    13. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years

      Sterling or Aubamayeng over next 6?

      Will be captaining mostly.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Auba

      2. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        auba is focal point of arsenal attack and will be involved in high percentage of arsenal goals

        points will be spread between city attackers. so id say auba even though i own sterling

    14. Wally banter

      On wc would you pick Sterling over Salah or Mane?

      1. Weeb Kakashi

        I would pick one of Mane or Salah surely

      2. doy

        Sterling & Mane

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

          Oh, I would rather have KDB + Mo/Mane if you don't have enough of a budget.

      3. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        not in the form he's in.

      4. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I would have both, if I had to pick probably Sterling due to fixtures

      C. Waste a ft

      I want to do B but ideally not this week as I have no reason to lose aguero except to fund TAA but that will benefit me next week. Obv can’t have 3ft next week but that’s kind of what is best suited
