England stars overcome toxic atmosphere to smash Bulgaria 6-0

Football fans were disappointed to witness distressing scenes of racial abuse in England’s 6-0 win over Bulgaria on Monday night.

The events in Sofia have naturally dominated the headlines both last night and this morning and we at Fantasy Football Scout would like to add our voice to the campaign to kick racism out of the sport we love.

However, there were also plenty of Fantasy Premier League talking points to consider from the latest round of international matches, and we’ve covered them in this Scout Notes article.

Euro 2020 qualifiers

Bulgaria 0-6 England

England’s players exuded both class and quality as they won in Bulgaria under difficult circumstances
  • Jordan Pickford – 90 minutes
  • Ben Chilwell – 90 minutes
  • Tyrone Mings – 90 minutes
  • Harry Maguire – 90 minutes
  • Harry Winks – 90 minutes
  • Jordan Henderson – 90 minutes
  • Harry Kane – 90 minutes
  • Marcus Rashford – 76 minutes
  • Ross Barkley – 73 minutes
  • Mason Mount – 17 minutes
  • Callum Wilson – 14 minutes

England’s 6-0 win over Bulgaria was completely overshadowed by disgraceful scenes of racism at the Vasil Levski Stadium.

The game was stopped twice to deal with racists chants in the crowd and UEFA officials threatened to call the game off.

Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings (£4.6m) was an early target from the home fans while Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) also suffered sickening abuse.

Towards the end of a toxic first half, several Bulgarian supporters left the stadium which made for a strange atmosphere in the second, with large sections of the stadium Vasil Levski already closed after racist incidents back in June.

Given the incredibly tough task of playing under such horrible circumstances, the England team should take serious credit for managing to win so convincingly.

Sterling was the key man, perhaps spurred on by the atmosphere, as he provided the spark for England’s play.

His creativity led to England’s second goal of the night and the Manchester City midfielder scored the fourth and fifth goals too.

Also of interest to his Fantasy owners was the fact that Sterling was replaced by Jadon Sancho after 73 minutes. Management of his game-time will be of encouragement ahead of a Gameweek 9 trip to Crystal Palace.

Despite recent tough times with Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane (£10.9m) also put on a superb performance, helping in the build-up to the second goal and providing the assist for the third, fourth and fifth and netting the sixth himself.

Also putting in a much-needed impressive display amid bad club form was Marcus Rashford (£8.4m), who played on the flanks in England’s front-three.

It was the Manchester United man who opened the scoring and spent the night making some excellent runs from wide and cause the defence problems before Callum Wilson (£7.9m) replaced him on the 76th minute.

Barkley scored twice for England on Monday night

Also in goal-scoring form on Monday night was Ross Barkley (£5.6m), who found the net twice and also impressed in other areas. The central midfielder won possession back well and also displayed decent technique on the ball.

Harry Winks (£5.4m) was also a calming influence in the England midfield, offering protection for the back-four and distributing well. That will have been a welcome sight for Mauricio Pochettino as he aims to arrest Spurs’ recent slide.

The back-four did not have a massive amount to do in this one but Mings and Maguire looked relatively assured in Bulgaria. Each of them will face much sterner tests in terms of quality of opponents in Gameweek 9 though as Aston Villa and Manchester United go up against Brighton and Liverpool respectively.

Also impressing was Ben Chilwell (£5.4m) who returned to the side having missed the defeat to the Czech Republic.

Reduced minutes in this match will be encouraging for owners of Wilson and Mason Mount (£6.8m) while several key Fantasy assets were unused substitutes.

They were Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m), Fikayo Tomori (£4.7m), Nick Pope (£4.7m), Dean Henderson (£4.5m) and Tammy Abraham (£7.7m).

England XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Chilwell, Mings, Maguire, Trippier; Barkley (Mount 73′), Winks, J Henderson; Rashford (C Wilson 76′), Kane, Sterling (Sancho 73′).

Lithuania 1-2 Serbia

Milivojevic was in action for Serbia on Monday night
  • Luka Milivojevic – 18 minutes

Luka Milivojevic (£6.7m) was the only Fantasy asset to play a part in Serbia’s win over Lithuania.

With Nemanja Matić (£4.8m) not in the squad, the Crystal Palace man featured only as a second-half substitute.

Ukraine 2-1 Portugal

Yarmolenko helped Ukraine to an impressive win over Portugal
  • Oleksandr Zinchenko – 90 minutes
  • Andriy Yarmoleno – 90 minutes
  • Rui Patrício – 90 minutes
  • Joao Moutinho – 90 minutes
  • Bernardo Silva – 90 minutes

All of the headlines of this match were dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 700th career goal.

However, Fantasy managers are more likely to be interested in the latest exploits of Andriy Yarmolenko (£6.0m).

The West Ham midfielder helped Ukraine defeat Portugal 2-1 in a historic result, which also booked their qualification for Euro 2020.

That was Yarmolenko’s third goal his last five matches in all competitions, which potentially bodes well ahead of a Gameweek 9 meeting with Everton.

Also involved for Ukraine was Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.4m), who continues to fulfil a central midfield role for his country. That should mean Fantasy managers continue to monitor if Pep Guardiola ever wishes to deploy him there for Premier League matches.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva (£7.9m), Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) and Rui Patrício (£5.1m) all played 90 minutes for Portugal.

Ruben Neves (£5.4m), André Gomes (£5.3m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m) were unused substitutes.

France 1-1 Turkey

Giroud scored France’s only goal of the game as they were held 1-1 by Turkey
  • Moussa Sissoko – 90 minutes
  • Olivier Giroud – 18 minutes
  • Çaglar Söyüncü – 90 minutes
  • Cenk Tosun – 9 minutes

Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) demonstrated his strength as an impact substitute once again as he scored France’s only goal on Monday night.

While he appears unlikely to dislodge emerging Fantasy favourite Abraham as the number one Chelsea striker anytime soon, what he is capable of the bench is still worth being aware of.

The former Arsenal man headed home an Antoine Griezmann cross in the 76th minute after France had dominated the possession and shot count but failed to find a ruthless edge.

Chelsea fans and those invested in their defence should be encouraged by the fact that N’Golo Kanté (£5.0m) was considered fit enough for an unused substitute role after picking up a muscle injury in the warm-up for Friday’s 1-0 win over Iceland. Either way, Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Frank Lampard’s

Lucas Digne (£6.0m), Kurt Zouma (£4.7m), Djibril Sidibé (£5.3m) and Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) were all left on the France bench ahead of Gameweek 9.

Popular Leicester defender Çaglar Söyüncü (£4.7m) played 90 minutes for Turkey while Everton striker Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) came on only for the last nine minutes.

Iceland 2-0 Andorra

Sigurdsson missed another penalty on Monday night
  • Gylfi Sigurdsson – 90 minutes

With Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) coming off injured last week, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.6m) was the only Fantasy asset involved in Iceland’s 2-0 win over Andorra.

Despite the positive result, it was a night of frustration for the Everton midfielder as he missed yet another penalty.

The Iceland international’s record from the spot in recent years has been far from impressive.

Since June 2018, Sigurdsson has, from a total of nine, scored four but missed five.

Friendlies

Czech Republic 2-3 Northern Ireland

Jonny Evans (right) was on the score-sheet for Northern Ireland
  • Michael McGovern – 90 minutes
  • Craig Cathcart – 90 minutes
  • Jonny Evans – 90 minutes

Jonny Evans (£5.0m) netted his first goal of the season as Northern Ireland beat the Czech Republic during Monday night’s friendly.

The Leicester defender was deployed in a back-three alongside Watford centre-back Craig Cathcart (£4.4m).

Behind the trio was Norwich goalkeeper Michael McGovern (£4.0m), who could be the only starting option in his price bracket and position for Gameweek 9 depending on the fitness of his colleagues.

Burnley goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.5m) was an unused substitute.

Egypt 1-0 Botswana

Trézéguet was the only Premier League player involved for Egypt against Botswana
  • Trézéguet – 90 minutes

Fantasy managers were very happy to see just one asset involved for Egypt on Monday night.

As has been well-documented during this international break, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) was not involved at all, while Trézéguet (£5.3m) was the only Premier League player to turn out for Egypt.

He stayed on the pitch for all 90 minutes of this friendly win over Botswana while Ahmed El Mohamady (£4.3m), although named in the squad, played no part.

England Under-20s 0-3 Czech Republic

  • Lewis Gibson – 90 minutes
  • Angel Gomes – 90 minutes
  • Callum Slattery – 65 minutes
  • Brandon Williams – 65 minutes

It was an evening to forget for the England Under-20s as they lost to the Czech Republic’s same age group side.

Everton’s Lewis Gibson (£4.4m) and Manchester United man Angel Gomes (£4.8m) both played 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, Southampton midfielder Callum Slattery (£4.4m) and United academy left-back Brandon Williams (£4.0m) got 65 minutes under their belt.

Brazil Under-23s 2-3 Japan Under-23s

  • Douglas Luiz – 90 minutes

Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) was the only Fantasy asset involved for Brazil Under-23s as they lost 3-2 to their Japanese counterparts.

The Aston Villa midfielder sported the captain’s armband for this match.

    Hi all

    Heaton {McGovern)
    Taa, ota, Rico (tomori, Lund}
    Salah, KDB, son, mount (cant)
    Vardy, Wilson (c), Abraham

    Any thoughts on my team selection for this week please?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you are not going to start Tomori at home to NUFC you probably don't need him. Great forward line.

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It was close between him and Rico. Norwich seem to offer little attacking threat away from home, and have a leaky defence so there's more chance of attacking returns, hopefully. Cheers

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

    Repost
    I have players from 9 different teams. Makes me more interested in FPL.
    It can come at a cost though.
    How many do you have?
    Do you choose a player ever to increase team cover?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Only 8.
      Not sure about cover, but it does make sense to have multiple players from the two teams that are much better than all the rest and from strong teams with great fixtures like Chels & Leic.

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

      See your post was very last on previous article.

      Soon I will have 3 from LFC and the rest 12 players from 12 different teams.

      LFC and Pope set and forget. The rest I will pick according to fixtures.

      Have KDB but not sure he can be set and forget due to fitness and Pep 🙂

  3. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years

    Any news on Maddison?

    Pope
    TAA Digne Soyuncu
    Mane Son Maddison Mount
    Aguero Abraham Pukki

    Bench: Button, Saka, Mings, Lundstram

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Likes a flutter apparently.

  4. Stef rocks
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with Mahrez?
    Keep or sell ?

    Rest of team

    Pereyra TAA Zinchenko
    Mahrez De Bruyne Son Mount
    Tammy Auba Haller

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      City good fixtures after Palace, but will he be a part of that? Wouldn't sell (wouldn't buy).

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep for Palace, then reassess once we know whats going on with Bernardo.

      1. Stef rocks
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Any idea when FA will have a saying on Bernardo’s case ?

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He's been given an extension to respond, till 21 October, so I'd expect the outcome sometime next week.

    3. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      im keeping at the moment, i could still see KDBs minutes managed. Re-evaluate after this gameweek.

  5. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    On wildcard...

    A) Get KDB now (cry)
    B) Keep Son (WAT) one more week and get KDB for free next week

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be tempted to give Son one more week.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      KDB has been training since Monday so I'd imagine he is ok. Son has a lot of travelling to do - I'd go Son if this had been a normal week, but...

    3. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit so B

    5. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B keep then reassess

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

    2FTs and £0 ITB. Struggling to decide what to do here. Wickham to Connolly?

    Pope / Button

    Lundstram / TAA / Tomori / Montoya / Otamendi

    Cant / KDB / Sterling / Mount / Mané

    Kane / Pukki / Wickham

    Kane out next week vs Liverpool seems like the obvious move, but could jump off early and get Tammy. But Kane vs Watford at home could be a great captain choice.

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Captain Kane for me

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wickham to Connolly seems like best way to burn a transfer. Lose Kane next week.

    3. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      To be honest if I had Kane I would probably captain him! Luckily I don’t have him 🙂

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Via the official Liverpool site...

    Joel Matip resumed training at Melwood on Tuesday morning after recovering from a knock sustained prior to the international break.

    The issue, picked up during the 1-0 win at Sheffield United on September 28, ruled the centre-back out of the Reds' meetings with FC Salzburg and Leicester City.

    However, Matip took part in this morning's session alongside his teammates as Jürgen Klopp's side get ready for Sunday's trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.

    Alisson Becker also trained with Liverpool's goalkeepers as he closes in on a return to action following a calf injury.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Thanks. Coming (back) in for me next week if he plays this.

  8. KingOllie

    I am selling Son before Watford.

    Spurs are dire, hes playing miles away for Korea and remember Spurs are dire.

    Form > Fixtures

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Looks like he played full 90 mins today.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      I get why people want to sell, but its Watford... and Spurs have still scored 8 in their last 3 home games in all comps.

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      September international break:

      I am selling Son before Crystal Palace, Spurs one win in first 4, 5 pts out of 12, including defeat to Newcastle at home.

      Spurs are dire, hes playing miles away for Korea and remember Spurs are dire.

      Form > Fixtures

      After September international break: Oh sh*te he just got 16 points v Palace immediately after international break despite being away with Korea and Spurs being dire and I missed out on 26 points in next 3 game weeks!

      Anyone selling during October international break, Kingollie?

    4. I Member

    A. 3-5-2
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount MADDISON
    Abraham Wilson (GREENWOOD)

      B

    2. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years

      So it is basically Maddison vs Jiménez correct?

      I would go for Jimi!

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    4. FC Hakkebøf

      B is much more flexible

  10. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is this worth a -8?

    Out: Salah, Greenwood, Pukki
    In: Traore, Wilson, Aubameyang

    Pope
    Tomori - TAA - Otamendi
    *Traore* - Son - Mount - Sterling
    *Aubameyang* - *Wilson* - Abraham

    Subs: Cantwell - Aurier - Maitland Niles

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah out for -8 to be replaced by Traore? Hmmm...

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

        That's hardly everything that is going on with those transfers.

        That being said, a -8 is too much imo. Your pointchasing

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I know

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            FPL Fox plans looks good.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Play Aurier, keep Salah and Pukki, Bench Greenwood.

      Hold FT and use 3 next week for -4 otherwise just 2 FTs next week and no hits.

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

        +1

  11. The Greenback Boogie
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Have a mini crisis going on with non-performers and 4 flags. So I am willing to take a -4 to clear out dead wood.

    Current team is :

    Pope
    VVD - Soyuncu - Cresswell*
    Mount - Salah* - KDB* - Sterling - James
    Wilson - Pukki

    Button - Lundstram - Guilbert - Greenwood*

    Have 1.7 ITB. Which of these would you do?

    A. Greenwood + James --> Jimenez + max 5.0 mid and switch formation to 3-4-3 (-4)
    B. Pukki --> Abraham/Jimenez
    C. James --> Maddison

    Any other moves you would make?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bournemouth can't defend so maybe last chance for Pukki.
      C (but I'm hit adverse).

    2. Will Grigg's on Fire
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B or C

    3. FC Hakkebøf

      B with Abraham

  12. melvinmbabazi

    What to do this week? 1FT 2.0 ITB
    Thinking Firmino to Auba? Any other suggestions?

    Pope / McGovern
    TAA / Otamendi / Aurier/ Tomori / Lundstram /
    Son/ Mahrez/ Mount / Cantwell / Hayden
    Aguero/ Firmino/ Abraham

    Cheers

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

      Save and play 4-3-3

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

        or Mahrez -> KDB

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bobby to Wilson? Mahrez to KDB next week?

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you’re thinking of selling Firmino...I would look into actually downgrading him and beef up that midfield.
      Son/Mah/Mount and 2 bench fodders are a bit weak...

  13. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who from Salah, De Bruyne and Cantwell are likely to start this GW?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mo & KDB training normally I think. Cantwell not sure.

  14. SUPER MOKH

    Anyone considering Doherty for that run of fixtures?

    1. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe bit too expensive...perhaps Boly if you want Wolves defender with good chances of attacking returns...just a thought.

      See if he gets through tonight first but he's a definite maybe. Dohery mills up the wing, makes 3 Swiss roll, floir to back post and Connolly gets his debut goal and the winner 🙂

  15. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years

    Thoughts on WC team?

    Pope, Button

    TAA, Pereira, Lundstram, Guilbert, Rico

    Mane, KDB, Maddison, Mount, Nakamba

    Aubameyang, Wilson, Abraham

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years

        Lascelles also 4.4.

    Son not back at spurs until tomorrow. Is it worth transferring him out for the Watford game?

      If you've got and a decent sub then keep.

        I guess when they are travelling from Korea where there is 9 hours time difference it could be!

        It’s weird I can’t remember exactly what month but my number hasn’t gone up all year and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t this late in the year.

          I don't know exactly how it works (or when I joined), but almost definitely 3rd season for me.

            I’m pretty sure its done by Callander year from the day you signed up.

      I think it’s by month...was 9 and turned to 10 in September...so I assume it’s by month...

        Oh right nice one, I’m sure I signed up during a pre season I think it should of gone up during the recent pre season. Any idea how I find out?

    GTG? Unsure whether to play Rico or Cantwell

    TAA Digne Soyuncu
    Sterling Salah Mount Cantwell
    Auba Pukki Abraham(C)

    Button Rico Dendoncker Lundstram

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Bournemouth to win comfortably, but without a clean sheet I reckon.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years

        Yes this play Cantwell

        Thanks. This just makes me want to drop Pukki for Wilson! Not sure it's worth the -4 though.

  21. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Weighing up options here.
    Still have WC.
    Fancying Wilson in I think.
    1. VVD + Pukki-> 5.6m or less def (Soyuncu) + Wilson. Leaves 0.9m ITB.
    2. Ota + Pukki-> 4.6m def + Wilson. Take a chance on Wilson.

    Pope.
    VVD, Otamendi, Robbo.
    Cantwell, Mount, KDB, Sterling, Salah.
    Abraham, Pukki.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    2ft- 0.1m ITB.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Like Wilson. I'd keep Virgil over Ota.

    Who's better as long term 3rd bench fodder:

    Saka
    Nakamba
    Longstaff
    Dendo

    1. subhojit123

      Saka

      1. SUPER MOKH

        With Laca's back, dont you think Saka's minutes will reduce significantly?

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Dendo

      1. SUPER MOKH

        Safe but a bit boring, but yes could end up with him anyway

    I have decided to use a mini WC this week with -4 and 3 Transfers.
    Which is better?

    A) Pukki Salah Lowton to Vardy Mount Timori
    B) Pukki Salah Dendonker to Vardy Mount Yarmolenko

    Current team:
    Pope ( Button)
    Ota Soyuncu Guilbert (Lundstrum Lowton)
    KDB Salah Sterling Cantwell (Donkey)
    Auba Pukki Tammy

    1. subhojit123
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B from those 2

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

  24. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    With Aguero playing carrying an injury, and Jesus on really good form, and the CL/Cup games sandwitched between the PL games, is it time to ditch Aguero for Vardy?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think so. Jesus will probably play the CL and cup games.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Pep has been ensuring all his players get a run out in the CL, wouldn’t bank of Jesus methodically playing CL every week with Aguero being rested...

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Aguero just played the last CL game.

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Exactly, and Jesus the one before

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

          I think rotation is real now with the 2, Kun carrying an injury doesn't help either. I am thinking going Mahrez + KDB instead for City cover. Vardy, Wilson and Abraham all have good chances of doing well in the shorter to longer time.

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Sterling and KDB for me. Sterling pretty much has the LW spot to himself unless City play someone oop... that’s why I prefer him to aguero

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      League more a priority than CL at this stage I'd say so Kun for those.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        True given they have won 2 games out of 2 in the CL, but I am sure Pep will take CL over the League this season.

  25. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who is a better pick?
    A) Kane
    B) Vardy

    Who would you get rid of 1st? ( KDB owner/ Only Salah as Lpool cover)

    1)Sterling out
    2) Salah out

    Thinking -4 (3transfers)
    Kane/Vardy IN
    Mount IN
    Either Yarmaloenko/Madison in or Timori in

    Thoughts?

    Hey guys.. Can you please help me here with the captaincy choice between -
    1. Mane
    2. Vardy
    3. Abraham

    And why?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Tammy. Newcastle.

  27. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Who is better to downgrade to Maddison in order to fund Barnes to Aubameyang?

    A: Sterling

    B: Salah

    1. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Do you have KDB? If yes then Sterling

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It shouldn't matter if he has KDB or not. What matters is who scores more points between Salah and Sterling.

      2. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I do have KDB, is a double up on Man City really that bad?

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A if you have KDB

  28. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What should I do?
    2ft’s
    A) salah, barnes -> mane, jimenez
    B) barnes, Pukki -> wilson, Connolly
    C) Salah, Barnes -> Maddison, aubameyang
    D) pukki -> jimenez
    E) none of those

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A, or maybe D but not this week

    2. Sicaholic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      C or D

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

      My current plan is C

  29. SUPER MOKH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How nailed is Otamendi now with Stones back? I'm considering Boly now for his spot if his minutes will be reduced.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t see a Stones and Fernandinho CB partnership unless Ota really is playing horribly, they will all likely rotate with one another to rest though

  30. Sicaholic
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A) Robbo Madd Auba
    B) Pereira Salah Jimenez
    C) Tomori Salah Vardy

    Currently have robbo salah pukki and have 2 FTs. Which combination would you rather have? Thanks
