De Bruyne outshines Aguero as Sterling suffers first benching

Manchester City 8-0 Watford

Goals: Bernardo Silva (£7.8m) x 3, Nicolas Otamendi (£5.4m), Sergio Aguero (£12.2m), Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), David Silva (£7.5m)

Bonus Points: De Bruyne x 3, B.Silva x 2, Mahrez x 2

Manchester City demolished Watford 8-0 at the Etihad to bounce back in emphatic fashion from their shock defeat to Norwich City last weekend.

Amid all the discussion about Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) and Raheem Sterling (£12.2m) pre-match, it was Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m) who cleaned up and proved to be the key FPL star.

That was set against a backdrop of Sterling’s first benching of the season, as Pep Guardiola opted to rest the most captained player of Gameweek 6 and broadcast to the world that the Roulette wheel is now in full spin.

Sterling spent the whole game on the bench, opening up the door to some fortuitous vice-captaincy scores

While last week it was de Bruyne who was dropped for the trip to Norwich, this time the Belgian put on an attacking masterclass in scoring one goal and registering two assists to collect three bonus points against Watford.

It was a timely reminder to those in possession of the absent Sterling, who did not come off the bench at all, that once Guardiola has rested his key personnel, they are always likely to do well the next time and should probably be retained.

The 36% owned de Bruyne put on an exquisite performance, yet the player who excelled for the Citizens was Bernardo Silva (£7.8m). The Portuguese midfielder scored a hat-trick to reward the near 12% of managers who had kept their faith in the attacking asset. Not a key asset in terms of captaincy for Gameweek 6, but certainly a powerful differential.

De Bruyne was in excellent form for Manchester City on Saturday

Bernardo had registered just two attacking returns this season prior to the fixture against Watford, but an explosive and clinical attacking display saw him take home the match ball despite a number glorious chances for his team-mate Aguero, who arguably should have had his hands on it too.

The Argentinian’s performance was certainly bittersweet for his owners as, despite scoring and assisting for a nine-point score, the Argentine could have matched his counterpart Silva’s hat-trick at the very least. 

A number of golden opportunities fell at the feet of Aguero, but the striker was unable to add to his initial strike, despite the exceptional team performance that he unquestionably contributed to throughout the 8-0 demolition.

Aguero arguably should have scored more than nine points but continued to deliver reliable returns

Either way, Aguero retained his record of scoring in every Premier League game so far this season, and despite a number of his team-mates putting in exceptional attacking displays, it is difficult to look past Aguero as being City’s primary source of goals in 2019/20. 

Whilst previous seasons have seen City’s starting striker berth be alternated between Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) and Aguero, Guardiola has seemingly put his faith in the Argentine as being the club’s first-choice striker. A midweek match against Preston should allow him to be rested ahead of a Gameweek 7 trip to Everton too, which is encouraging.

There can be no doubting that Aguero is not immune to potentially being rotated by Guardiola, yet for now, those managers without the striker may be asking themself if they should move for him.

Both Silvas racked up the points against a dreadful Watford side

Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) also sent a timely reminder of his explosive potential with a goal and two assists to record a 14-point score at the Etihad. Starting the game in place of Sterling, Mahrez tore through the Watford defence in an impressive attacking display, with a number of deft touches and mazy runs troubling the Hornet’s backline throughout the fixture.

David Silva (£7.5m) also delivered a typically reliable attacking performance with a goal and an assist in the rout, but whilst City’s attacking assets were mesmeric at the Etihad, there are some real questions emerging for managers in the Champions back-line. 

Mendy’s return to the starting line-up, while short-lived hints at left-back rotation moving forward

Given the long-term injury that defender Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) suffered in the game against Brighton, managers in ownership of the French centre-back were faced with a dilemma was to who could replace the defender in their squads. Those managers who opted for Nicolas Otamendi (£5.4m) were handsomely rewarded by the Argentinian centre-back with a mammoth 15-point haul, including a goal, an assist and a clean-sheet. 

Yet Otamendi’s eye-catching performance was not the only point of note from City’s defence, with Benjamin Mendy (£5.9m) starting in place of Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.6m). Despite starting the first-half in impressive fashion, regularly bombing forwards on the left-flank, Mendy was taken off measure by Guardiola at half-time. 

Despite initial concern that Mendy’s substitution was injury-based, Guardiola allayed any concern that the Frenchman could be back on the treatment table, whilst also praising his replacement, Angeliño.

“He [Benjamin Mendy] is well but after two years playing only a few minutes, it [45 minutes] was enough. Angelino is an incredible nice guy, and is training well – he deserved to play. I saw many good things in him.” – Pep Guardiola

Otamendi now looks the ideal candidate to invest in the Manchester City defence

With the ongoing absence of Laporte, Fantasy managers will be looking to retain a form of defensive coverage from City, and whilst the scoreline of Saturday’s victory will naturally mean interest gravitates towards the Citizens’ attacking assets, there is an interesting narrative developing at the heart of City’s defence. 

Zinchenko appears to have lost his security of starts with Mendy’s return and whilst the enigmatic Frenchman has often rewarded managers with attacking returns in the past, it seems unlikely that he will start every week either. Instead, we might see Guardiola picking and choosing between his three left-backs

Therefore, a serious case presents itself for the reliable starter at centre-back Otamendi, who can similarly offer attacking output, but without the consistent concerns with regards to his fitness. 

For Watford, this was an unfortunate result but Quique Sanches Flores’ side came out of the traps exceptionally poorly and were unable to come back from their dismal start. 

Early-season interest in the likes of Gerard Deulofeu (£6.2m) has understandably simmered, whilst Saturday’s showing was also reliable advert as to just how unreliable Watford’s defence are from the perspective of solidity and clean-sheets. 

Given the Hornets’ poor start to the Premier League season that saw Javi Gracia lose his job after four games, it is difficult to even consider any Watford players as viable assets at such a volatile time for the club, and after today’s performance it is unlikely that managers are likely to be considering investing in their assets anytime soon.

    3 each for Haller, Tammy and Salah please.

    If Mount is 100% out, I'd like Mings to do an Otamendi a bring home the bacon.

    Then we can all head to Winchester for a pint and wait for this GW to blow over.

    Sheff Utd's average positions are super weird. I know they play with overlapping CBs but these positions are all over the place.

    What's even more hilarious is that Jagielka had almost the same average position as Henderson.

    1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years

      Sweeper Keeper.

  3. Viper

    How does this WC team look?

    Pope

    Auerier Soyuncu Otamendi (Lundstram Rico)

    Son Mane KDB Mount (4.5)

    Abraham Aubameyang Pukki

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

      I would want at least 2 Man City attackers on a WC

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

        There's funds there that would allow me to do Aubameyang - > Aguero actually

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Do that

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Its okayish. No Salah and Liverpool def could really hurt your rank.

      Not sure if Auba is worth that pricetag

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

        Can't play the game in fear 😉

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

      Any way to find the cash for Mane to Salah?

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

        In this draft there's funds over for Mane - > Salah but I also have my eyes on those funds being Aubameyang - > Aguero

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

          I prefer Auba over Aguero and Salah over Mane.

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

            Realistically how many times over the next 5/6 would I be captaining Salah though

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

              Doesn’t matter he is much more reliable than Mane for only slightly more. Could feasibly captain him in 3 of the next 6 and have it work out.

    4. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looking good vipe, well balanced with plenty of captaincy options

    5. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think that's a fantastic team!

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

      Aurier transfer waiting to happen, keep the funds to upgrade him to Liverpool defender
      Aguero in form of his life, scored in every game, could of had 4 yesterday, playing for best attacking team in world atm.

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

        There's 1.3 leftover in this draft so Aubameyang - > Aguero an option

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

      It’s almost exactly the same as my team, so obviously I want to sleep with it.

    8. grooveymatt65
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      good shout with Mane and no liverpool defence same as me! and yeah don't worry about no liv defence or salah its good to be different!

  5. Wilshere Knowledge

    When is the earliest you’d consider Mendy?

    I miss the pain and joy of owning Kolarov...

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

      after he played his first 90 in d league

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi cheaper, nailed and fairly attacking kinda rules Mendi out as an option for me.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        You’ll miss 3 assists before being subbed off with a cruciate on 59 minutes though...

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

      Probably never this season as Zinchenko did pretty well in his absence, they are likely to be rotated.

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

      Never. Too many left backs and Pep has shown in the past that he doesnt trust him 100%.

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

      What with Laporte out, I am not sure Pep would risk starting another player would can’t defend very well. Would be fun to watch, though. Loved owning him last season.

    6. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'll bring him in on the 14th of never.

      all I want is either mount or kelly not to play
      Haller to blank as my rival has him VC after sterling
      and a auba hatrick

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years

        Auba hatty, ans Salah hatty with 3 TAA assists and a Liverpool clean sheet.

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

      yeah

    2. mookie

      Yes

    3. Pukki Blinders

    Watch out for the GW6 Points Tsunami in your Super Leagues...With Rico and Lundstram coming on for Sterling and Zinchenko, plus my Vice Captain points for De Bruyne yet to be applied, I've got more points to be added than my team us currently showing! I'm sure others will be in the same position...

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yup, Lundstram 2nd sub for me.

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

      Some guy in my league has 40 points coming on after subs... Dunk, Lundstram, KDB vice..

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN

      Predicted a 60k rank drop today without a ball being kicked.

    4. Park_The_Bus

      Exactly the same situation for me 🙂

  11. Marty McFly

    Bernardo Silva was in the last chance saloon with me this week (owner since gw1). After his 19 point haul, should I keep or sell?

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

      Same here! Gotta keep now I think... He's returned in each of the last three games

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

      Probably sell. Knowing Pep he will get rewarded with a month on the bench

  12. FFS Advice regarding recent FPL account issues
    DavidMunday815
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    We are very sorry to learn that a handful of #FPL accounts appear to have been hacked overnight.

    As things stand, this appears to be limited to high profile players and there is no evidence that this is a wider issue with FPL. We will, of course, be monitoring the situation closely and appreciate there may be further developments.

    If you have been hacked, or know of someone who has been, please let us know. We are trying to build a list of targeted individuals so we can understand the scale of this hack.

    At this stage, we cannot offer a resolution to those who have been hacked other than to encourage you to report the issue to Official FPL.

    However, we can offer advice to everyone else to protect themselves from a hack in the future:

    - Log out of FPL on every device
    - Change your FPL password

    1. diesel001

        I think I remember one guy on reddit last year who had his deleted team recovered. So they'll probably get them back

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

      - Log out of third party stuff like fffix

          • 8 Years

          This is a Wordpress site. Not secure at all. People break passwords when they are used repeatedly across common sites. I've reset my password here this season as it happens, Gmail too, etc. And am logged on here with a different email address to my FPL account. None of that by design, just chance.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, also Get/use a good password manager like Lastpass and have a really strong master password and you can create these for everything.

      Not too worried about getting hacked in fpl as I’m not high profile but I saw some advice about two step something on your email. How do you know if you have this already and if I don’t already have it how can I implement it.

      Use a password manager and have complex passwords

      Crazy not to be using one

      Even if you don’t want to pay use a free one like BitWarden - Chrome plug-in

        I didn't realise the larger scale of the issue, it sounded big but didn't realise it had hit so many prominent players.

      if they cant get their accounts they should start an elite hack league and all remake a new team and start from GW7, thats what I would do. And the game isnt over for them then

      Is there somewhere we can donate our pet goldfish's team for those affected?

    Is there anywhere that ranks people by their team value? Just wondering what the highest team value is...

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      102.4 is mine

    2. have you seen cyan

    Anyone know what GW a significant fixture swing will happen? May have to plan a WC around that.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      12/13? Nothing that interesting really anymore the best times have gone. Just go whenever your team needs it

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Surely GW7 / GW8.

      Look at the run of these teams:

      From GW7: Chelsea, Man City, Norwich, West Ham
      From GW8: Arsenal, Everton

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

        Will look into it cheers

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

        Take west ham and Everton out of those lists!

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I think you can make a good WC without West Ham tbh. I still think Digne is okay from GW8.

  17. Visionaries
    • 7 Years

    Definitely seems like point chasing but
    'Trent > Otamendi +1.5' is very tempting

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years

      Find another way to get Ota

    :INCOMING RANT:

    It takes a special kind of a “person” to do what was done to Dale, Andy and Neale (and potentially anyone else).

    Shame you can’t put the same time and effort into doing something good for the FPL community like they did (with their spare time at that).

    I know the likes of Dale (Chef) is considered a controversial character amongst many but NO ONE deserves to have all their hard work and contributions to the community violated and vandalised like they have.

    I hope some day you realise that this is a very sad and pathetic way to live your life and you come to know what it feels like to work hard on something with a passion just for someone to come along and destroy it for no reason.

    :RANT OVER:

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

      What happened?

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

        Hacked and teams deleted

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

      Who’s dale Andy and neale?

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        High profilers.

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

          What Andy from lets talk fpl and Beale from the team news?

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

            Yes

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

              Chit wtf that’s bad they are nice guys, how can anyone dislike neale

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

      Spare time? Isn't Neale doing this for a living?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Really? Do they get paid that well?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          In that case I need to start my own podcast or whatever

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

            Neale/Skonta is a writer on here. Think it's full time but I'm not sure.

            On youtube you could easily earn £5+ per 1k views. Doesn't sound that much if you can get a few thousand subscribers that's a nice side income.

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

        and that’s your take on this?

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

          One gets paid to write FPL content on this site. Another has 55k subscribers on youtube and also runs a patreon which generates a nice little side income.

          Obviously that doesn't justify getting hacked but you're making it sound like they're doing charity work.

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

      Ok, Ill stop doing it now, didnt realize it was such a bad thing to do 🙁

    5. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, it's kind of pathetic and sad to hack someone's FPL team.

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

        Why would someone do it? It has no financial value. Very strange.

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

          Some people just want to watch the world burn

              4 years, 6 months ago

              Lost it because 3m rank 🙁 but egg on their faces Im back to 600k now after a stormer of a week so far

              1. badgerboy

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                😀 They'll be calling back. Like flies around a sh!te.

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

        someone with a grudge who took their advice and their team did bad for it? Seems a bit ott but yes some people are just like that.

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any hope Kelly doesn't play today?

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

      There is always hope

      But if Kelly doesn’t start then yes you get Lund points but would also mean he is now dropped

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        For 12 points I'd take that.

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

        haha yes thats another problem with this

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I need Lanzini no showlol

  20. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Where can I look for Cap. stats for this week ?

  21. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea triple up too much?

    Have Tammy and Mount. Looking to get Tomori if he starts today

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Too much , defenders not worth, unless emerson

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Any better options for 4.5?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good with those fixtures and Kanye returning

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Who the f is Kanye?

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          N’Golo Kanye.

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

          The biggest genius of this generation

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

      Tomori isn't a long term pick, triple Chelsea about as risky as triple United...

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

      I think Tomori is a trap. Chelsea's defence is pretty woeful - plenty of better 4.5s out there

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

        With their upcoming fixtures, I would wager even Chelsea will get some cleansheets. And he does seem to have some attacking prowess as well. As long as you have back up, then Tomori isn’t a bad shout at all.

  22. De Gea Van Dijk. 10

    Please don’t hack me.

    I will actually cry.

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

      Thats why I dont get into the top 100

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

        U don't have to be top 100 to be hacked 🙁

  24. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    WC team:

    Pope
    TAA - Robertson - Otamendi - Soyuncu
    Sterling - KDB - Mount
    Aubameyang - Abraham - Pukki

    Button - Lundstram - Cantwell - Dendoncker

    Will do Robbo to Digne in GW8.

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

      Dendonker is probably going to drop in price so I would remove him and transfer back in at the end of the week at 4.4

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. Good point.

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Five days dungeon for Dendoncker, no trials!

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

        Or just get Hayden who seesm more of a secure starter.

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

      Planning transfers never works out! Well not for me anyway, other problems always come up!
      Mane over Sterling for me.

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Have your front six+Son

      Lowton over Robo in 3-4-3

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Considering Mina to Tomori as my ft for next gw. Thoughts on my team?

    Pope
    VVD, Digne, Otamendi
    Salah, Sterling, Kdb, Mount, Cantwell
    Haller, Pukkhi

    Button, Mina, Lundstram, Wickham 1ft 0itb

    Would then play Tomori and bench Digne for city.

    Trying to release funds from the defence to upgrade in attack.

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

      Problem is he is no guarantee to start

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If he get 90 in his next 2 he’s in for me

  26. Los Pollos
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one:
    A) Haller
    B) C. Wilson
    C) Abraham

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

      Gotta be C with Chelsea fix

    2. I know nothing
      • 4 Years

      How did the computer catch cold?
      Someone opened too many windows

  27. OLLY G
    • 7 Years

    Just seen the hacking news. There really are some horrible people in the world. So gutted for the chaps involved. I'm furious for them.

  28. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    What are Zinch owners thinking then? Getting in Ota?

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

      Is Zinch out?

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

        Just didn't start this week, rotation begins I fear

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ota won't assist and score every week. If possible get Mendy

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

        He was pretty good at scoring 2 years ago

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

        Still has high goal threat for a defender, and nailed

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

    Funny how Man City just scored 8 and every WC team on this article only has 1 City attacker!?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mine has two plus Otamendi.

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

        Yes I see you just posted that, no Pool attack is crazy though!

  30. tiger

    If Greenwood can not get a single minute today that would be great Ole...thanks in advance.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently hasn't travelled with the squad to London. So you may have a good chance.

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

        Yeah I heard that too, just hope he isn't coming later for some reason...but there is hope! I would then get Lundstrom points!

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

      Not on the MEN list of players travelling to London, you might be in luck.
