Captain Poll

FPL managers set for more tough captaincy choices in Gameweek 9

After weeks of captaincy frustration, Fantasy Premier League managers are set for more tough armband decisions ahead of Gameweek 9.

Manchester City and Liverpool both have relatively challenging away matches next weekend, which could deter us from the usual suspects.

Pep Guardiola’s defending champions travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, where Crystal Palace have conceded just one goal in four matches this season.

That strike came in the dying embers of a 1-1 draw with Wolves in Gameweek 6, courtesy of Diogo Jota (£6.1m).

Outside of that, the Eagles have kept clean sheets Everton, Aston Villa and Norwich in front of their own fans.

Manchester City assets underwhelmed in their 2-0 defeat to Wolves

Naturally, Manchester City do usually pose a greater threat, with owners of Sergio Aguero (£12.2m), Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£10.0m) all hoping for both starts and returns this weekend.

But the Citizens’ recent poor performance against Wolves in Gameweek 8 might go some way to putting Fantasy managers off for the captaincy, especially considering Palace’s home defensive record.

Meanwhile, Liverpool travel to Old Trafford, a ground at which they have never won in the Premier League under Jurgen Klopp.

In all competitions, the former Borussia Dortmund manager has drawn three and lost one at Manchester United’s historic stadium during his time in charge of the Reds.

In total, his side has scored three goals there but on their most recent visit, back in February, the match ended 0-0.

Fantasy managers are likely to steer clear of Liverpool attackers for the captaincy in Gameweek 9

While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have been far from special going forward this season, their defence has shown some improvement on last season.

They have two Premier League clean sheets at Old Trafford in 2019/20, against Chelsea and Leicester and have been boasting some relatively impressive defensive underlying statistics.

All of this is likely to leave nagging questions at the back of the mind for Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£11.7m) owners when it comes to the armband.

Given Manchester United’s shocking attacking displays of late, perhaps Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) might receive more consideration than their midfield colleagues?

Aubameyang and Arsenal are likely to find life tough at Sheffield United next Monday

Even those looking at Arsenal assets such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) may have their concerns about a Monday night trip to Sheffield United.

The Blades have conceded just seven goals this season, only Liverpool have allowed fewer, while Chris Wilder has made all the top-six sides work for their results thus far.

Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw in Gameweek 4, while the only reason Klopp’s men scored at Bramall Lane in Gameweek 7 was because of an uncharacteristic error from Dean Henderson (£4.5m).

For all of those reasons, Gameweek 9 could be see a host of differential options top the upcoming captain poll, which you can now vote in (below).

Wilson will be the favourite Bournemouth option ahead of Norwich’s trip to the Vitality Stadium

Naturally, there will be a lot of consideration for Bournemouth assets in Gameweek 9 as they host a Norwich side that conceded five at home to Aston Villa last time out.

Callum Wilson (£7.9m) is expected to be the favourite of these having registered attacking returns in all but one match so far this season.

Those unable to get the England international into their squads may also look to Josh King (£6.3m), who has double-figure hauls in both of his last two matches at the Vitality Stadium – and remains the Cherries’ penalty taker.

Abraham has been in decent statistical form of late

One of just two of Gameweek 8’s top 20 captains to actually deliver attacking returns was Tammy Abraham (£7.7m), who, with each passing week, looks more and more capable of factoring in the conversation for the armband.

After the first eight matches of the 2019/20 campaign, the Chelsea forward is joint-top of the league for goals scored, alongside Aguero (eight).

Abraham is also top of the league for shots on target, which is probably why his bonus score is also looking quite healthy, a total of 11 to his name thus far – more than any other player.

Ahead of Newcastle’s visit to Stamford Bridge, it would be surprising to see Abraham not considered among the best options, especially given the Magpies’ record on the road this season.

In four away matches in 2019/20, Steve Bruce’s men have conceded 11 times, an average of 2.75 per game.

You can now vote in the latest captain poll on our website, either below or in the sidebar on the right.

Joe and David will be speaking about the debate in the captain video, which you can watch on our YouTube channel from 12:30 pm on Monday.

    Are most of Norwhich defenders likely to still be injured when they face Bournemouth?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Doo not think it matters. Norwich will concede irrespective of which defenders they have fit.

    Who would you rather have long term.

    Either Dunk or Lundstram?

      Dunk. I've got both on wc

    The Maddison rise caught me off guard and leaves me 0.1 off my moves this week, which were going to be: Son/Pukki to Maddi/Auba (2 FTs).

    Not sure what to do now, any ideas?

    Pope
    TAA Ota Tomori
    Sterl KDB Mount Son
    Pukki Abraham Cilson

    4.0 Cantwell Rico Lund

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep Son for this week... Plays against WAT and Spurs in definite need of a win

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Moura very likely to start instead of him though imo

        1. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Don't think Moura is in Poch's good books... Even in last IB, Son started after playing for SK... I think he got a double digits haul then.

          1. ryacoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Son started the last one true but I believe he was benched for 3 of the 4 games that followed IB last season.

            Also, this time he'll be flying back from North Korea, which is even further away - 10 hours+ flight I think.

            Plus, Moura hasn't put a foot wrong whenever he's come in and looked more effective in his cameo against Brighton than any player who started.

            1. KGFC
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Agree about Moura and yet he hasn't started! About starting Son, it could eventually be a coin toss... He could start and get hooked off after an hour or so or could come for cameo. Either ways I can see him playing a part in the WAT game and therefore would not transfer him out.

              1. ryacoo

                Thanks mate, appreciate your thoughts

                1. KGFC
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Cheers mate, GL 🙂

          2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            It could go either way but fans are criticising Poch now. Moura is one of the most hard-working players we have, he's just not the best finisher . How he's not starting is anyone's guess but I expect him to get opportunity when players are rested at the very least or he may as well leave.

            Like I say Son will surely be rested for one. I got rid on my wc as I expect a Watford benching but he could play that and be rested for champs league. I think the champs league is probably priority because we need to win our next 3 to go through.. we play bayern in the next 4 so don't see much from that

            1. KGFC
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Given Spurs precarious position in both PL and CL I don't see Son getting 0 minutes in either of them. These are desperate times. Kane played full 90 and is expected to play another 90 minutes gruelling match. I know he is sub proof but I still think Son is Spurs best player and not playing him will get Poch more criticism.

              1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Problem is son plays at an higher intensity to Kane. He had no problem dragging him off when we went a man down either. He's also got form for dropping son after IB. I don't know really, I just couldn't keep him based on my gut feeling.. nothing more

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I would rather keep Son. Not convinced on Maddi when the likes of Mount and McGinn are cheaper and offer more value.

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Already got Mount and McGinn doesn't have the easy fixtures Maddison has and also seems less involved in the goals with his new role.

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

          Dont think Mcginn will keep up his early scoring rate. Overperforming

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

            Maddison is a way better option IMO

          2. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He has served me well, had McGinn from the start. Perfect enabler. Not an explosive player and would not say he is overperforming.

            His points will keep on ticking over nicely IMO and at under 6.0m I would much rather keep him.

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

              If he continues his point scoring rate he gets 190 points this season approx. so it's safe to say that he has definitely overperfomed and will slow down.

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I do not think anyone expects McGinn to get close to 200 points.

                Is Maddi going to get 200 points this season?

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

                  So you basically just contradicted yourself lol. Mcginnis point scoring will slow down

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

                    And when did I say Maddison would? Kinda stupid...

                    1. FOO FIGHTER
                      • 4 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      I am not contradicting myself at all. You say Maddi is a way better option than McGinn. I do not think he is when Maddi will also not be getting 190 points.

                      I say McGinns points will keep on ticking along. You say he will slow down.

                      I also pointed out that nobody will expect McGinn to get 190 points.

                      What are you trying to get at?

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

                        Umm, if he doesnt slow down and keeps up his current rate, he reaches 190 points.

                        (39 points divided by 8 games) x38 games = 186 points. You said you dont expect him to get that, so you contradicted yourself didnt you?

                      2. FOO FIGHTER
                        • 4 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        I never said he will score 190 points.

                        I said his points will keep on ticking over.

                        And what have you to say about that?

                      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        What if McGinn kept scoring at the same rate until he reached 130 points then got injured

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

                        All I said was he will slow down. If he doesnt slow down, and don't get injured like MBP says, he will get 190 points. So yeah he will slow down, and wont keep producing the way he has.

    Lads, thinking of capping Jimmy at home against SOU... Too risky?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Risky but probably a good week to take a risk with captaincy tbf

    2. Leon_v
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good Q mate...ive got Jimmy as Capo.

      Hes rested over IB..southampton at home...is due a goal...takes pennos...and got 2 assists v city

      Its a weird week for captaincy so i think ill take chance.

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same here... It's between him and Tammy for me. And if you gotta go up the rankings, you need to be a bit risky. At least, on paper the decision seems sound and could pay off. GL to us buddy!!

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    Aguero carrying an injury hence why he wasn't selected for the Argentina squad according to Argentina coach.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Yeah, cannot be good even if it is minor. He probably will not be doing much training and that sets a doubt for GW9?

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Sounds like nothing serious, probably just an excuse to rest Kun over international break

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. Fully recovered for GW9.

        • 14 Years

        Yer looks like they just managing it and sounds like it's nothing major if he's back for internationals next month. 2 week break do him good. Not as concerned now I read it

    5. Fpl Richie

      Auba it is then

        No captain then ?

  6. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which striker would you rather have

    A Vardy
    B Wilson

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy for me, but depending on where is it going the £ diferrence...

    3. jg7u
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      For the next 2, Wilson.

  7. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I heard Ceballos got injured ytd, is it true?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't matter... Don't think many have him now

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Me neither, but with Ceballos out that Arsenal mid is a desert... with possible attacking implications on attacking assets?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          If you're referring to Auba, he'll still pull something out of thin air

          1. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Probably, but long term cant be consistent... right?

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              That's been an established fact since GW1

              So, yeah. Don't talk yourself out of getting Auba if you want him, though

        2. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ceb seems the brightest spark in an otherwise dross Arsenal mid... The thing even when he is fit, Ars is unable to conjure up something good from their midfield. It's up to Auba to score from the 2-3 chances he gets in the entire match!

          1. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            It has been the case so far, thats true, but I really doubt it will go on forever though. And for 11.1mil... Its a real dilemma for me.

            1. KGFC
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              7/8 GWs he has delivered... Would be at least 5-6 points more had it not been for his large heartedness to allow Pepe take the penalty!!! On current data, very hard to if ignore him let alone take him out!

  8. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Wilson or Auba captain?

    1. KGFC

    Wildcarders, who is your risky or differential pick? Tierney and/or Boly are as close as I am on currently

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A side posted on this site should be noticed if something different. Differential I am not keen with the phrase. But slightly different is good. Forget injury concerns, here is a side with good balance ownership wise.

      Same as me, would like Tierney and also considering Boly if funds allow.
      Also tempted by a New defender - fixtures are pretty good and should be relatively solid.

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Doherty and Mahrez atm.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting - presumably you are confident on gametime?

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Lol not really, Boly is the better pick but I'm risking it atm, he could be explosive if he plays with those fixtures, easier route to VVD or Robbo in a few weeks too.

    “Sergio Aguero is not here because he’s been carrying a problem and has not been training 100 per cent with his club. Surely both will be here next month.”

    If he is not training 100% then will Kun start GW9?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Well remember he wasn’t training 100% before the last game when he left training early to be desperate from the group. The rumours were true but he still started

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Still started against Wolves even though he "hasn't been training 100 per cent" - honestly, I'd be very surprised if Aguero didn't start GW9.

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor

      Depends on the injury. We can only speculate until Pep's presser this friday

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        And still we'll be speculating coz Pep's gonna say nothing at all!

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

          Yes most likely 😆

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            It's not whether he'll start, it is whether he will perform with a niggle?

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

              If he starts, he is passed fit by the medical team and also feels good enough to play. So yes IMO

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

                Subbing off at 60 guaranteed though 😆

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I am actually worried whether Pep will start KDB.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            KDB? Probably not . Groin is not that easy

  14. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If Aguero is out of GW9:

    1. Aguero, Haller, Pukki -> Vardy, Abraham, Wilson (-4)
    2. Aguero, Pukki -> Abraham, Wilson (free)
    3. Aguero Haller -> Abraham Wilson (free)

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

      2 for me!! Haller has 2 nice home games after this next gameweek

  15. thewhitepele
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on WC draft? Still leaves 1.3m ITB, not sure where to stick it..

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Boly Soy (Tomori Rico)
    Mane KDB Maddison Mount (Traore)
    Vardy Wilson Tammy

  16. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo?
    1. Salah,Wilson
    2. KDB,Vardy +1.1m for future transfers.

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      KDB and Cilson

  17. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC

    Yay or any?

    Roberto Button
    VVD Dunk Boly Rico Lunn
    Salah KDB Madison McGinn Dendonc
    Kun Tammy Wilson

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Most of its ok for me.
      Dont like Roberto
      Id definitly have TAA over VVD on a WC.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Have TAA at mo but just considering other possibilities.
        Guess Dunk can be Kelly

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I own McGinn but wondering if he’s worth it on a wc (are you bringing in or did you own already?)
      Some tough fixtures during the next 6/7 games

  18. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Only if Sane was fit. Probably the only other City asset I would go for other than KDB.

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

      If he was fit he would have been at Bayern Munich rn hahah. The only reason the move didn't go through is his injury, and they went for Perisic instead.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Explosive player though.

        Injury like that may set him back when it comes to his development as a player.

        Pity.

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

          Nah ACL tear is pretty common for football players. Its not like a broken leg, they usually come back pretty well.

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

        and Perisic is just a loan so most likely they will go for Sane next summer again.

      3. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Which was an horrible move btw. Sane is sooooooo much better than Perisic.

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

          Yeah but a kit Perisic is better than a Crocked Sane, smart move. Plus its a one year loan deal, perfect for them to go after Sane or the next big thing they are after next summer. Whats to not like?

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years

    Thoughts on my WC team? (0.0ib)

    Pope (McGovern)
    Trent Tomori Söyüncü (Rico) (Kelly)
    Sterling Mané KDB Maddison Mount
    Wilson Abraham (Connolly)

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Cant complain at that.
      Very good.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I prefer 3 upfront

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good apart from having to start Tomori and Soy every week.

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

        Yeah this. Cant afford Lund?

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

          He gets better every game, Ramsey like Midfielder

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He has Lundstram (and Kelly if he stays in the XI) in the team.. No need to start Soy and Tomori every week

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ahh just noticed he has Rico not Lundstram.

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't feel the need to slot in Mane personally. Rather go with Auba / Aguero in a 3-4-3 until gw13 (fixture turn for Liverpool)

    6. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mane + Connolly + Rico/Kelly -> Auba + 4.4 mid + Lundstram and your good to go

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Best front 3 on a WC from: Tammy Kun AubA Wilson, Wardy

    Pick 3 please

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

      Tammy, Auba, Kun

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy Wilson Kun I would say.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero Abraham Wilson (but with enough itb to do Wilson -> Vardy in a few gameweeks time)

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What do to here ladies and gentlemen?

    Pope
    TAA Soy Tomori
    Sterling KDB Son Mount
    Aguero (C) Tammy Pukki
    __
    Button; Lundstram Kelly Hayden

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    A) Pukki -> King
    B) Pope + Pukki -> Gazzaniga + Jimenez -4 (differentials)
    C) Roll FT and monitor gameweek 9 as of what to do next

    1. FPL_JAAFAR

      C

      1. FC Hakkebøf

        Thanks Zyga

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Long term

    Wilson or Tammy?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tammy.. cheaper and Chelsea looking good offensively

  23. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I think de Bruyne is the outstanding captaincy candidate. Nicely rested, consistent returns.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero if you have him... otherwise KDB a good choice. I would prolly pick Wilson/Tammy before KDB though.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I prefer to captain a midfielder myself. My other standout option is Alonso although that's dependent on Emersons fitness.

    2. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't be surprised if he has his minutes managed this GW - he's so important to City Pep will wrap him in cotton wool until he's 100%.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He has his minutes managed every week but benching him is not an option for pep rn I don't think. Unless he's still not fully fit of course but pep suggested that was unlikely last week.

  24. itsmeguneet

    Pukki & Son >> KDB & Jimez/Haller for a -4

    1. FC Hakkebøf

      Do it next week for free...

    Heading in direction towards 10.1
    😛 😉

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lol, get transfered out and probably being transfered back in with injury news of Kun 🙂

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Kun injured?

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Don't read to much into it

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He turned a corner yesterday with more net transfers in.

        When his flag is lifted then he will be reset to 0% and then i reckon he will go up like a rocket ship

        I think i will start calling him KDBlue chip.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          They’re trying to fix the ridiculous mistake they made of pricing him at 9.5

          Try 11.5 next year

          1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            For those that got him at start or at 9.5 it’s one of those season defining decisions. Him and Mount at 6. I didn’t get Mount until 6.7, which is unfortunate

        2. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

    2. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts with his lot, have 2 FT, £0 in bank

      Pope / Button
      Digne / Soyunca / Otamendi / Lundstrum / Diop
      Salah / KdB / Sterling / Mount / Cantwell
      Barnes / Abraham / Pukki

      Considering Digne and Barnes to Alonso and King, thoughts?

    3. Abraham & Cheese
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      2FT - Yarmolenko & Pukki --> Traore & Wilson?
      I'm not too sure about Traore and whether that weakens my midfield too much.
      Which 2 transfers would you make?

      My team:
      Pope Henderson
      TAA Oatamendi Tomori Guilbert Kelly
      Salah De Bruyne Mount Yarmoloenko Guendouzi
      Aguero Abraham Pukki

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kun is not ''injured'' I believed. It's just a caution. Of course he will play next gameweek.

      But do sell him! Specially if your in the top 100k. I'd would love to get a foot in sitting at 125k OR

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        After you are finished with this stage of the grief you will feel a lot of anger.

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Capping City assets is proving a bit of a problem to be honest.

        After the Wolves loss, Pep will be furious with most of the players which took the field.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Very much this

          The city teamsheet is a volatile beast at the best of times

          Then you’ll get the games where Kun or Sterling do start, but pop up with 8 points from an 8-0 win etc

      3. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Jesus just started for Brazil 🙂

      4. Abraham & Cheese
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He's my captain right now. Tammy as VC

    5. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Alisson likely to be back this GW or are we getting lucky with Adrian again one time?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I reckon Ali will be back for GW9. If not defo GW10.

        If you still have Adrian and no other starting GK then now is the time to move.
