Maddison owners wait on injury as Son delivers again

Leicester City 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Goals: Harry Kane (£11.0m) | Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m), James Maddison (£7.1m)

Assists: Son Heung-min (£9.6m) | Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m)

Bonus Points: Maddison x3, Kane x2, Pereira x1

Leicester City emerged victorious over Tottenham Hotspur in a 2-1 win as Mauricio Pochettino’s side let yet another lead slip in the 2019/20 campaign. 

After a disappointing result mid-week against Olympiacos, the lunch-time kick-off at the King Power Stadium presented the perfect opportunity for Spurs to banish their demons and return to winning ways in domestic competition. 

Yet Brendan Rodgers galvanised the Foxes to come back from 1-0 down and secure an important victory in front of their home fans in the East Midlands. 

Maddison scored Leicester’s winning goal on Saturday afternoon

Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m) got the first of the Foxes’ fightback, drilling a shot past Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m).

But it was James Maddison (£7.1m) who stole the headlines with a fine strike from distance to secure all three points for Leicester as they rise to third in the table. 

Maddison’s credentials as a mid-priced midfielder with goalscoring threat are well documented after his exceptional debut Premier League season in which he scored seven goals and registered seven assists to record a total of 137 points. 

He has shown promise in recent weeks and finally delivered with his excellent Gameweek 6 goal combined with maximum bonus points.

Maddison was certainly due a goal, having already gone close twice against Spurs. He tested Gazzaniga with a curled effort from the edge of the box in the first-half, followed by a dazzling run, beating two defenders to then have his shot pushed wide of the near post shortly after.

His performance in the victory over Spurs once again underlined his potential value to managers looking for a differential midfielder (11.3% ownership), although they should tread easy for now.

Maddison owners will have to wait on his ankle injury over the next few days

Maddison picked up a potentially worrying ankle injury late in the game, triggering some concern after the full-time whistle. Leicester had used all their substitutes by this point so nobody was able to replace him. However, rather than come off and leave the Foxes with 10 men, Maddison elected to spend the final five minutes of the match standing virtually still inside the centre-circle. We will certainly need to pay close attention to Rodgers’ next press conference.

“I’ll go and see it now, there’s a little bit of worry but we’ll see.” – James Maddison

“He took a heavy knock on his ankle, so we will see how he is tomorrow.” – Brendan Rodgers

Both Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) and Maddison looked sharp throughout the lunch-time kick-off. The centre-forward was unable to build on his goal-tally of three so far this season, but the 31-year-old’s incisive, troubling runs into the final-third suggest this is still a player with the ability to excel under Brendan Rodgers in 2019/20.

The likes of Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) were also lively in the final third, with the Foxes continuing to apply pressure and test the Spurs’ backline in the second half.

This victory means Leicester have now lost just once in six Premier League games this season, and the plethora of exciting, attacking options provides managers with mid-price options moving forward.

Yet while this was a victory that underlined Leicester’s attacking credentials, it was an afternoon that served as a timely reminder as to just how fragile Spurs’ defence can be in the face of considerable pressure.

Spurs capitulated for the second time this week as they lost at Leicester

The mid-week capitulation against Olympiakos combined with letting a two-goal lead slip against rivals Arsenal serve as a concerning back-drop to this latest poor result.

Serge Aurier (£4.9m) did display his attacking prowess with a fine strike that was ruled out by VAR but Spurs simply do not look sturdy enough to justify investment in defence, although they were short Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) whose wife had just given birth.

Furthermore, there will be many that argue they were unfortunate to see their second goal ruled out given how marginal the offside call was, and the impact on the two sets of players was stark. While Spurs were dealt a blow of losing out on a goal, Leicester were spurred on as if they had found the net themselves.

“We need to say that when you get the benefit, it’s not getting the benefit, it’s fair or not fair, offside or not offside. I’m not going to talk. I’m only going to say that we all accept that system in the game and now I am not going to complain. I am going to accept that maybe if you are going to say it’s offside or wasn’t if it wasn’t clear, but I trust in the referees and if the referees say it was or wasn’t I’m not going to complain.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Kane’s finish against Leicester was a hugely impressive effort

Harry Kane (£11.0m) did open the scoring for Spurs with an exquisite improvised finish, after Son Heung-min (£9.6m) delicately laid off the ball for the striker.

It was a truly impressive finish as he was fouled by the defender but still kept enough composure as he fell to the ground to control the ball and crash it into Kasper Schmeichel‘s (£5.0m) net from the ground. 

Whilst premium strikers such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) have stolen the headlines with their rampant goalscoring streaks in recent weeks, Kane’s performance in the defeat to Leicester was a reminder to managers that the England captain is still able to provide goalscoring returns. 

It must be said that Kane was unfortunate not to come away with an assist on top of his goal. It was his pass that set up Aurier’s goal, ruled out for an offside against Son in the build-up.

But given the explosive performances that the likes of Aubameyang and Aguero have been consistently delivering, it is difficult for managers to select a forward such as Kane when he is not matching their goalscoring consistency.  

Son has delivered in both of his last two matches ahead of an appealing run of games

For Son, who built on his brace against Palace with an assist, this was a game that highlighted the South-Korean’s attacking abilities and a performance that rewarded those managers who brought in the forward for Gameweek 6. 

With games against Southampton, Brighton and Watford to come in their next three, Son is starting to display form that would warrant inclusion for managers, having recorded attacking returns in his last three Premier League appearances – the most of any Spurs player. 

This was a heavily disappointing defeat for Spurs, but the growing viability of Leicester’s attacking assets simply cannot go un-noticed for managers given their exceptional form under Rodgers in 2019/20.

    Thinking Digne, Barnes > 5.5def, Abraham

    Which defender up to 5.5?

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

      Ota

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi probably. I may do similar move, but with Zinchenko to Söyüncü this week

    3. YouReds
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have ota!
      Thinking maybe tomori or one of the Leicester lads to get on the fixtures!

  2. Cojiro

    What happened to walker?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Nothing I don’t think. Just subbed. Game was over, attackers having fun

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Cancelo needs minutes.

      Game over. Give others a run out.
      3 defenders subbed.

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

        Love getting the more expensive 'safe' pick

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

          Cancelo was signed before GW1.

  3. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ota-I don’t know-mendi.

    Feeling Everton could manage a goal, somehow. Ota goal and assist both somewhat lucky, and still could/should have conceded at least one early on today.

    Save money with Zinch to Söyüncü for now? Digne to Ota downgrade still available then the following week.

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

      Everton are terrible at set pieces. He could get a header.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That's talking yourself out of it, Ota teh way to go

    3. vectorman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ota is looking like he'll get a price rise too this week, so I'm wondering the same. See what you're saying though, don't you think it's about an equal chance both concede in their respective games?.. Hmm Newcastle are a bit weak up top lol

      Depends if you want that 0.1 extra maybe..

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah.

        Don’t know how much difference it’ll make this week

  4. mccormibar
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Don’t normally ask advice but I am mulling a -8 as I have the exact money to do these moves. I normally go with patience but I feel these moves would really boost my team and allow me another 6-8 weeks without having to wildcard. What you think?

    Heaton Button

    Coleman Sokratis Montoya Cathcart Lundstram

    Sterling De Bruyne Mane Pepe Mount

    Haller Kean Greenwood

    Kean Coleman Cathcart > Otamendi Tomori Abraham

    Otamendi Abraham potentially rising tonight would not be able to do so afterwards

    Thanks.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Go for it imo, if you don't make your points back next gw you'll get them back over the next 3-4. Coleman & kean are looking like poor assets and play city, greenwood is a 1 pointer at best.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Are you sure you don't want to wildcard btw? I'd probably lose the vast majority of that team if in your shoes.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would go for it. However, would you consider someone like Lowton? Tomori might not start regularly.

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

      I would wc this team

    4. International Richard
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would be seriously considering wildcarding

    5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Should wc now imo

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

      ur team looks terrible. the only decent players u have is kdb and mane. WC now!!! u got the worst forward line. haller is ok. the worst defense i have seen.

  5. Ziyech on the Bench

    Bottomed :

    Sterling, Haller : Son, Auba 2FT?

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

      No

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Sounds good

    3. Ady87

      Looks good!

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

      Sterling has easy home fixtures coming - I wud stick with him

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Could also blank, and points too spread out amongst them, two big hitters versus 1, easy decision.

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No Brainer

    6. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not a fair comparison. Right side is a million more expensive

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        money in the bank

  6. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    2 FT.
    Sokratis > Aurier and save 1 FT? Got a full playing bench so don’t NEED to ship Wesley/Barnes yet and can’t think of anything to do with them. Barnes > King maybe?

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Sokratis Lowton (Lund)
    Salah KDB Sterling Mount (Cantwell)

    Sterling barnes lanzini -8 to son auba cantwel ? Y or N

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      For an -8 no I don’t think so. Not bad moves though.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why not, may as well, good moves.

      correct

  9. Lingard’s Shin Guards

    Bottomed. Early thoughts on the team?

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Pieters
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount* Cantwell
    Aguero Pukki

    Button Lundstrum Montoya Wickham (2ft 0m itb)

    Thinking of doing Sterling, Wickham -> Son, Abraham but need to shave off 0.3 to do it - One of the 4.5 defs to Rico? Downgrade Mount?

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      mont out

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years

        what lol

  10. gers23
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who are people looking to replace Digne with?

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

      Keeping him.

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

        this is called stubborness

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

      Otamendi & Soyuncu are popular.

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      May keep one more week cos feck it. Could get a FK goal, City pretty bad at defending set pieces.

      If I do replace him it’ll either be likely with Ota or Söyüncü.

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      thinking of Perry from Leicester

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm keeping but Ota surely after today is the main man

  11. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling on WC? Thinking perhaps Auba scores more till GW10

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't have Sterling on a WC, seem to be a lot of better options

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Well till GW10

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

      No Sterling or Kun? 😮

      Big Forehead, big Balls!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        neither are absolute must haves though really are they?

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

          Course not, as Auba isn't, I'm only playing.

          Berbs knows the risks but it might be worth taking on WC. Next 3 games aren't the best but they are City...

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I do get what ya mean, it is City, it's just a gamble too far at this stage when you can have nailed on players instead as opposed to one shifty one.

          2. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I'm just having fun TBH. Captained Digne today for example

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

              I'd really consider it, hope KDB chips away.

              The dreams of a 15 pointer 🙁

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Auba will score more imo BF, he's the main man, and on pens, Sterling is just so eurghh at the moment, too much reliance can be placed on him, and the points are so far and widely spread amongst City players.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Think our teams are similar

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah very similar, or will be when i've done my moves 🙂

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

      How do you fit Auba in with Aguero Abraham Pukki?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I don't have Aguero either

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling will have to fight to get the starting spot back in the PL as Mahrez has been better than him this season and Mendy is there to provide width on the left now. He will play against Preston though

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

      Sterling is essential

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years

        Couldn't be more wrong

    Thoughts?

    Digne, Guendouzi, Barnes, Aguero to Soyunucu, KDB, Abraham, Wilson?

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

      -8 or -12?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        -8

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      For -8

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      ofc not

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        no move for a -8 that involves removing Kun is ever a good idea. Fact

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I know! But I really want KDB, Wilson & Tammy!

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            ah well take into consideration the fact that based on Agueros form he is going to score at least one this gw, so 6 points minimum (and thats being generous to you, he could get 10+ points). So add that 6 to ur -8, so in reality its a -14 minimum

  16. SomeoneKnows

    Decided to hit the WC and here's my dilemma...

    Pope (Button)
    XXX, Otamendi, Soyuncu (Lundstram, Rico)
    XXX, Mane, De Bruyne, Mount (Cantwell)
    XXX, Abraham, Pukki

    A) TAA, Sterling, Wilson
    B) VVD, Son, Aubameyang

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

      B

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

      A - Sterling is essential

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

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

    Oh boy, How gud was soy today, especially when they were chasing the goal - think he will be another 50m+ defender in a couple of seasons for Leicester

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

      MOTM

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

        Oh was he? Great!!!

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

          Maddison was clearly MotM

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure he's gona be at that level, but he's decent and done well today

    Who is the most unessential fpl asset right now?

    For me it’s a toss up between Arnautovic, Lukaku or Sterling

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

      Sterling and Sanchez

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

      Digne is up there.

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

        Fair

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

      Rashford, kane, pogba

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

    VVD + Sterling + Haller —> Otamendi + Son + Auba? (-4)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tasty

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

        Yes.
        If I do it, im sure Sterling will haul.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          don't worry, he won't

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

      not sure, all 3 you are selling have good fixtures

  20. Longlatini

    Why was the offside law introduced?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      To confuse housewife's

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

      To confuse the wife....

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Save Aguero from marking the keeper and letting Ederson kick it to him every time.

    4. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Certainly not to prevent what Son did today. The more I see that the angrier I become. He is bloody well onside.

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

        This is my point

        It was introduced to stop goal hanging

        When it comes down to millimetres it is a farce!

        1. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He is level. Any sensible person can see that. That is not offside I'm just not having it.

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

          And thats what VAR was introduced for.

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

            But even the VAR line to me showed Son onside

            Btw I don’t own any of these players involved!

        3. The Son-dance Kid
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I agree.
          Both this and the Sterling decisions are an absolute farce. How any official can sit there smuggly and claim this is good for the game and that the 'right decision was made is delusional and saying it just to save face

      2. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I had Aurier 🙁

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Kevin Friend in the VARbus disagrees.

        1. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Then he is no friend of mine.

      4. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Clearly inconclusive evidence from VAR and when it's that close it's simply not accurate enough

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

          100%

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

      To stop 10-10 scores.

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

        Would be interesting to see a game with no offsides, everything about the game would be turned on its head

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

          It would be all about having the most players with the ability to constantly run box to box. The most skillful attackers and the best defenders would just be sat at either side of the pitch and the rest of the players would have to try to as much as they could on both sides side. It would take a ridiculous amount of stamina to play a box to box role like that.

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

            Would be crazy for sure

            The back pass rule change x 100!

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

              Pretty sure the pitch would have to be shortened or game time drastically reduced or it would be a bit of a sht show where it is more about having people with marathon runner stamina rather than technical ability.

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

                And that is why we have the offside law but when it is so so close it’s ridiculous to punish the attacker

  21. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Looking to bring in a Digne replacement with price not really being an issue atm. Would it be pointless to go Pereira over Soyuncu? Surprised me to see he’s only got one less goal contribution than Digne since moving to the PL, after today. Only 5.1% ownership.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why would it be pointless? You're paying a premium for his assist and goal potential. Last season 6 assists, 2 goals

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

        True, but 1.5m is a lot for just that. Maybe pointless was the wrong word.

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It is a lot. I'm in the same boat. Might just get Rico in order to upgrade elsewhere

          1. El Lobito 10
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Thong is LEI have great fixtures now

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Leicester dont look that great going forward. Would just stick to Soyuncu

  22. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Considering wildcarding to change formation....

    Digne, Salah, Greenwood

    To

    Rotating Def, Mane, Haller.

    Means Cantwell would be 1st sub instead of rotating with Coleman.

    What do you reckon?

  23. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Wilson to Abraham tonight?
    Ive had Wilson since GW1 and despite his points, he's got lucky to get a lot of them.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't matter his you get them

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        How*

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Stupid to do it tonight

  24. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    On WC

    Sterling or Sane?

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

      haha what?

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

        Gut says Sane?

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

      Sané all day

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

      Depends on what you do with the money.

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

        Can’t troll TM (it’s a wind up)

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

      not funny

    5. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sane for sure. He will be consistent right up until March or so.

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

    Thoughts on Digne Sterling and Barnes to Otta Son and Vardy for a -4?

    Pope
    TAA Digne Soyuncu Lunds Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Barnes Pukki Tammy

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

      why vardy? get haller or stretch to firmino

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

        just think he might explode with some of those fixtures coming

  26. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    what is ur biggest regret of the season?
    mine: getting in sterling after gw1 & captaining him in gw 4 & 5.
    I thankfully removed him for gw6 & got in kun & captained him.
    not getting him again. he plays too wide with sane out.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Captained him 2, 3, 4, and 5

      8)

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

    Liking this GW.
    VC is nice on KDB
    And then a KDBesque assist from Lundstram.
    Sometimes you get lucky and forced to play players like Lundstram that you dont really want to but it works out.
    Certainly making up for recent Sterling captain fails .

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth getting Son for a hit without losing Sterling, De Bruyne and Salah?

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

      lose sterling

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

        Nah, keeping him for his hauls in the next 4 game weeks. Pep won´t drop him imo. Mahrez will get dropped for Everton.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          What hauls will they be? Hauls like in the last 3 weeks? I wish you the best of luck bud.
          Hauls for the next 4 GW's, that made me laugh though 🙂

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This, balance will be poor otherwise

  29. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Need Auba(C) to save me !!

    Think i can save my FT this week? Am i g2g?

    Heaton
    Aurier Robbo Soyuncu
    Sterling KDB Mount Son(C) Cantwell
    Haller Auba

    Button, Coleman, Lundstram, Greenwood

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

      Good team. Would moniter how Haller is performing with many mid price options around.

      1. KingOllie
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        think i will give Haller bournemouth... then might move him to tammy

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Early transfers are so annoying. Why do 72,000 people feel the need to bring in Abraham before he has even played for the GW, pushing his price up. They are just asking for an injury tomorrow!

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The world is full of morons

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sheep decide the prices it's just the way it is and probably always will be
