Scout Notes

Brighton assets impress ahead of Norwich game but tricky fixture run awaits

Brighton and Hove Albion 3-2 Everton

  • Goals: Pascal Gross (£6.4m), Neal Maupay (£6.0m), Lucas Digne (£6.0m) own goal | Adam Webster (£4.4m) own goal, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m)
  • Assists: Aaron Connolly (£4.6m) x2, Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) | Richarlison (£7.9m), Mason Holgate (£4.4m)
  • Bonus: Maupay x3, Mathew Ryan (£4.7m), Calvert-Lewin x2

A late comeback fuelled by yet another controversial VAR call earned Brighton victory over a desperately unlucky Everton.

Under Marco Silva, the Toffees have never won after falling behind, so the signs were not good when Pascal Gross (£6.4m) blasted home a free-kick in the 15th minute following a foul on Aaron Connolly (£4.6m).

But an Adam Webster (£4.4m) own goal and a fine finish from substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) then left the visitors just 16 minutes to survive and break their manager’s personal hoodoo.

They managed only six before VAR waded in.

A pass into the area, aimed at Connolly, looked innocuous enough, with Michael Keane (£5.5m) in close attendance and the ball about to sail over the Brighton striker’s head. Connolly promptly fell to the floor, much to Keane’s disgust, and referee Andy Madley waved play on.

VAR, however, had other ideas.

Replays showed that Keane had accidentally trodden on the forward’s foot and a penalty was awarded. The bar, previously set so high for overturning on-pitch decisions, had suddenly been lowered dramatically, and seemingly randomly, based on a refereeing error that was sort of clear but definitely not obvious.

Not that Brighton striker Neal Maupay (£6.0m) cared, and he duly slotted home the spot-kick for his second goal in three Gameweeks to level the match.

It was interesting to note that Maupay took the Seagulls’ penalty despite the fact that Glenn Murray (£5.6m), Albion’s hitherto first choice from 12 yards, had just taken to the field upon the spot-kick award.

Everton could be excused for feeling a strong sense of injustice over the call, and their mood was certainly not improved by the nature of Brighton’s winner either.

Substitute Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), who was a lively presence when replacing Gross after 65 minutes, put in a low ball from the left which Lucas Digne (£6.0m) could only turn into his own net – a 94th-minute winner of epically painful proportions for the Merseysiders.

It hurt Digne’s 20.2% ownership as well, the left-back ending the match on -1 point when, earlier in the game, he looked to have produced his first attacking return since Gameweek 4 for his part in Everton’s equaliser.

It was his corner that ended up in the back of the Brighton net via, at first glance, the head of Richarlison (£7.9m). A few glances later, it became clear that Seagulls defender Adam Webster (£4.4m) had diverted the ball past Ryan, with the Brazilian handed an assist and Digne given nothing.

The pair are the most popular Everton outfield assets in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) – Richarlison is owned by 6.6% – although both have lost plenty of owners in recent weeks.

Plenty more look likely to jump ship by the time Gameweek 14 ushers in a brutal run of games at Leicester City, Liverpool and Manchester United and visits from Chelsea and Arsenal.

Before then there’s a trip to Southampton and a home match with Norwich City from which Richarlison might prosper.

He put in a good shift at the Amex Stadium, in terms of both shots and chances created, and has produced attacking returns in back-to-back games for the first time since Gameweek 5. Throw in the fact that the midfielder played as a forward on Saturday and he might well be worth keeping, for now at least.

As a team, the Toffees deserved better from the game, out-shooting their opponents 10-8 and firing six shots on target to Brighton’s four.

But with just one clean sheet to their name since Gameweek 2 and a visit from Spurs up next, there won’t be many Fantasy managers queuing up to buy their players. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Digne is currently in the top five for transfers out.

Defensive matters weren’t helped by a knee injury to Yerry Mina (£5.4m) which ruled him out on the morning of the game. Mason Holgate (£4.4m) was drafted in to replace him and he provided the precise pass that led to Calvert-Lewin’s goal.

Silva also opted to keep Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) in the side at right-back, even though Seamus Coleman (£5.4m) was available after serving a one-match ban.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) was again left on the bench, meanwhile, although he replaced Bernard (£6.5m) after half an hour when the winger picked up a knee injury.

The Brazilian was seen later leaving the Amex on crutches.

Injury issues were of little concern to the manager post-match. Instead, he was all about that VAR.

Silva said:

The decision had a big impact. If VAR found that penalty it has to do the same in the opposite box (for a perceived foul on Richarlison).

It is difficult for them [the players] to understand why it happened to us, but you have to respect the decision and keep going. The next game is a different competition and if we have an ambition to go to the final, we have to win.

That next game is a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie with Watford – a match that karma might consider letting the Toffees win.

Brighton boss Graham Potter preferred to talk about cosmic balancing issues of his own, saying:

We’ve had a few that haven’t gone our way recently, so if we have had a bit of luck then I think those that have watched us over the last ten games would probably say that we’ve earned that fortune.

As for his players, they’re likely to garner as much short-term interest as their Everton counterparts.

They’ve now won back-to-back home matches, but they’ve lost three straight on the road and, after hosting Norwich in Gameweek 11, will have to play Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal away while welcoming Leicester to a south coast the Foxes have developed quite the taste for visiting.

Gross backed up an assist in Gameweek 9 with his first goal of the season against the Toffees, while Trossard looks likely to return to the starting XI now that he’s fit and firing again.

Defence remains a feast-or-famine area, however. They’ve kept a perfectly reasonable three clean sheets to date but have conceded at least two goals in five of the other seven matches they’ve played.

Goalkeeper Mathew Ryan (£4.7m), with 42 points, is their most productive player and he earned two bonus points for a fine display at the weekend which included one very sharp save to keep out Webster’s shot at a second own goal of the game.

Much like Everton, their players might be worth holding on to but bringing new ones in looks misguided until their schedule eases from Gameweek 16 onwards.

And if you really must insist on having a Brighton-based punt, the 0.2%-owned Trossard would at least be the very definition of a differential once he re-establishes himself in the Albion starting XI.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-4-2): Ryan; Montoya (Schelotto 66′), Webster, Dunk, Burn; Gross (Trossard 65′), Stephens, Propper, Alzate; Connolly (Murray 80′), Maupay.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Sidibe, Keane, Holgate, Digne; Davies, Gomes; Walcott (Delph 72′), Bernard (Sigurdsson 29′), Iwobi (Calvert-Lewin 72′); Richarlison.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Transitional period and a training ground bust up.

  2. Tsparkes10

    Repost. 1.5m OR before WC 2 weeks ago, now at 800k. Thoughts?

    Hendo
    TAA Perreira Tierney Lund
    KDB Mount Maddison Mane
    Vardy Abraham
    (Button, Wilson, Rico, Longstaff)

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

      Why bench Wilson? Play or sell him

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lund fixture means a haul this week. Most likely sell though

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Moving in much better direction than me mate - largely courtesy of Vardy over Aguero I think hahah.

      Wilson too expensive to bench imo - play him over a defender or sell him

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Yh, probs sell. 2ft and 1.2itb. Eyeing up Rash, all defenders have good fixtures so difficult af

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Rashford is appalling.

    3. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years

      Looks good to me pal.

  3. Top Lad Dakes.

    Rank the following in terms of who you’d want most, at their current price:

    A) Tammy
    B) Rashford
    C) Vardy
    D) Wilson
    E) Jimenez
    F) Lacazette
    G) Jota
    H) Maupay

    1. Sailboats

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Fair. My current forward line is Kun Tammy Wilson, ditching Wilson this week and likely Kun next week. Vardy almost definitely coming in and was thinking Jimenez to replace Wilsh!te, and give Tammy another few weeks

      2. Maddocio

          If Rashford stays on the left I'd consider him too

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years

      A, C, B, E, F, H, D, G

    3. TAT

      C A or maybe F but cash isn’t there for laca

      Would consider G & H if funds allowed but they don’t

    Mark keeping Martial through his 2 month injury?

    A) Genius
    B) Casual

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Didn’t work out but he’s not a casual

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      2 months is too long to bench a player. I just sold him 6 gws ago and then bought him back last week... much easier

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Neither just dumb

      Einstein is one of the greatest minds in history but he lost his debate with Niels Bohr badly, even the greatest get some things wrong

    5. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Team Cruel a casual as he didn't know Pool scored against City last time they played in the PL ?

    6. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No idea who Mark is but i say genius

    7. Brosstan

    I could use some advice.
    A) Cantwell > Dilva
    B) Cantwell > Martial
    C) Wilson, McGinn > Connolly , Sterling (-4)

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      C definitely

    Thoughts on ota king and auba to mendy jimi and vardy for a -4
    Leaves 0.6itb for sterling to salah after the liverpool v man city game

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Who to get rid of first?

    Wilson or Digne?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Digne

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson

  8. Man Chest Hair United
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with Aubameyang. Brought him in 3 weeks ago. 3 blanks.

    Thinking of selling to Rashford and using the savings to upgrade Dunk to Robertson

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I did the exact same thing as you. I’m struggling to keep hold atm

      1. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wolves have Boly out so could pay off next week

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          The ones I would want to change to don't have the greatest of fixtures.. So it might be hold one more.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      3 blanks on the bounce for a premium asset, I’d ship personally

    3. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Probably drop to Vardy

    4. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      From a match going arsenal fan- sell. We’re a mess right now, he didn’t get a sniff today. I love the guy but until we ditch the Spanish moyes I wouldn’t invest in any arsenal
      Player

  9. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Double Liverpool defence or double Liverpool attack?

    Double defence leaves more in the budget for a second city mid

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Defence in my opinion. Mane salah double up is nice but so expensive

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Defence if it's Robbo and Trent

      1. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It would be for sure

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

        This

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

      i think double attack. i think 1 of robbo or taa is enough. liv not keeping any cs at the moment to justify them both.
      but yeah mane and salah are expensive. currently i have mane and robbo & for now i am happy with just 2 pool players

    Ideas here with 1ft

    Pope
    Taa Digne Lundy — Tomori Rico
    Sterling Kdb Dilva Mount — Cantwell
    Pukki Rashford Tammy

    A: Digne + Pukki >> 4.5m def + Vardy (-4)
    B: Save FT and get rid of pukki in gw13
    C: Something else

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      A

  11. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Why would anyone really want Jimi, watch wolves play, shadow of the attacking threat they’ve had in years past, Europa still in full swing

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You’d prefer him to Tammy though?

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No
        That was a mistake, still prefer tammy

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I got shot down in the intl break for saying wolves weren’t back, you’ll be alright tho since it’s clear that they aren’t.

    3. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      On another day he gets two assists today, fixtures are nice, I’m happy to give him 4/5 games and see what happens. I’m 800k so I need someone like him

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I remain unconvinced by United attacking assets - well really, Martial and Rashford (James, idrk).

    Someone convince me either way on them? They seem so inconsistent but have good fixtures. I feel Rashford slightly overpriced, Martial underpriced.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Fixtures set up well for them and no cl helps, I expect the form to improve week by week, rather be early than late

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you think Martial is underpriced surely u want to bring him in?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Will give Maddison another 2-3 weeks but crap returns and I’ll likely make the swap - unless I bring Rashford in instead cos it suits team (see below), or want to upgrade Maddison further

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

      United attackers don't remain differentials for long because of the fanbase. Rather get on the train early than join when it's cramped

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

      I think Rashford is a lot better when he plays on the left and that will also help the rest of the team

  13. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    how did manu look as a team? were they more attacking with martial back or were norwich just densively bad as usual? didnt watch.considering rash or martial

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't go on todays game pal. Man U are not a good side they barely even shoot on target.

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah Norwich are terrible right now, I really want a Brighton player for one game haha

  14. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Aubameyang with 0 shots in the box the last 2, Lacazette with 5 and hes only played a fraction of the minutes. Auba has to leave my team.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Ditto, look at the heat map

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

      How did he managed to get all these returns crazy.
      Blanked since I brought him in :(.
      Not sure what to do with those 2 home fixtures.
      Surely they cant be a 4th blank in a row????

        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same lament here.....thought I was set three weeks ago with Auba, Tammy, and Kun....I am at a lost. Kun’s cameo yesterday cost me KDB vice captain and Tielemens bench points.

        1. NWA
          • 6 Years

          harsh

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Just the pattern of this year. Everything i do is to late. Vardy in now so he stops scoring. Son in perhaps. Hopefully they are up again

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          you giving players enough time?

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Auba to Vardy for -4?

  16. Gunners for Lyfe
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Lacazette played the full 90 minutes..lads what do you reckon? Auba to Lacazette to fund a midfield upgrade? Does he get the minutes and does he outscore Auba

  17. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pukki + Dendo to Conolly and Perez/Tielemans? Switch from 343 to 352.

  18. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years

    Is Mahrez & Digne > Mane & Chilwell worth -4 this week?

    Currently have KDB + Sterling and no Liverpool players

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I like it

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

      Can Mahrez be benched 3 straight PL game in row in the form he has?
      Not sure why but want to believe he will play and if he does its garanteed return vs SOT

  19. AYLD28

    Think I’m going to hold this week but really struggling where to go with this team past this week?

      Team's in good shape. Easy save. You'll get some ideas in next weeks for sure 🙂

        Thanks Chief

    Maddison and Wilson to A.Perez and Vardy?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maddy to Perez is way too sideways bro. Tielmans is a better pick than Perez if you are desperate for another Leicester player.

        Need the cash for Vardy...

    Hi lads.
    Anyone thinks Mahrez starts and destroys SOT?
    Need to decide to keep or not asap to catch some price rise

      • 5 Years

      Depends on Tues

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

        I cant or dont want to believe Pep will bench him 3 straight PL games even if he plays tuesday.

    Interesting - with a rejig of my forward line over the next 2-3 GWs, Aguero Tammy Wilson to Vardy Jimenez Rashford, I still have over 3m ITB.

    If I then downgraded Rashford to Maupay, or Jimenez to Ayew, say, I could bring in Salah for Maddison for Liverpool’s great fixtures to have a front 8 of:

    Salah Mane KDB Mount (Dendoncker)
    Vardy Jimenez/Ayew Rashford/Maupay

    Tempting. Sterling could also slot in for Salah obviously

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So much planning haha. Think I also prefer martial to Rash tbh

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Think I do too

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay seems to be the one getting consistent minutes

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He does eh?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Tough fixtures tho

    Pulisic has made H-Odoi a difficult one. When he plays he'll do well, looked lively when he came on. Suppose I'll see how many minutes he gets on Wed

      Why bring in a now nailed player who you need to play in order to tick over

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

        None*

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I brought him in 2 weeks ago, unsure whether to keep or not

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He’s gonna play more than Pulisic

          1. Das Boot
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Don't you think a hat-trick going on 5 merits a starting place? If I were in Lampards shoes I would give him another start tbh

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              He’s going to play for sure but lamps is protecting the kid. CHO is going to end up with more minutes, both will get rotated

              1. Das Boot
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I can't see anything other than him starting tbh. Purely just an opinion but if he is as good as yesterday suggests you stick him in and leave him there. Was thinking of getting him myself but maybe monitor it and go with Silva for the moment

          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ah, different situation. Yeah see who plays midweek but I’d be looking for replacements in the near future

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Thinking Wilson downgrade then bring in Martial

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

          You ll have to be prepared for rotation risks if you can afford and/or have a strong bench.
          Can also block ur bench points with 30 to 10 min cameo if he doesnt start

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Exactly. He'll likely start or only play 20 mins. Tough

  24. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is this a good -4 hit ?

    Salah King Greenwood ==> 4.5 mid Firmino Lacazette

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

      I Wouldn't.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers both

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

      I cant see a 4.5 mid who is worth it

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Bench fodder

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hows this looking going forward? Any thoughts appreciated 🙂
    Heaton (Button)
    Robbo - TAA - Lundstram (Rico, Hanley)
    Pepe - KDB - (Yarmo) - Mount - Mane
    Vardy - Rashford (Greenwood)

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yarmo is captain not sub

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

        Balsy. Good looking team.

        1. have you seen cyan

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Different but nice. 🙂 FT, money itb?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        no fts did Auba>Rashford today lol. 0.5 itb

    3. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Excellent although i don't like Rashford. 9 /10

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        thanks but I just didnt know who else to get, is it just me who thinks there isnt many decent striker options?

        1. Modest Bob
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Tammy all day for me instead of Rash..think it saves money too..not 100% sure

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            fair enuf, im just not in the tammy camp 😀

    4. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think that team is arguably too differential

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        yea you might be right I need to be careful with that, been getting away with it for a long time

    5. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pepe to Sterl?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        soon for sure

  26. Gentle_Turks

    Firmino due a score? (serious question).

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Meh

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He’s a streaky player, wait until he scores one and then do it

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

      nobody due anything

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Law of averages?

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

          what?

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

            if you toss a coin and it lands heads does that make the next toss more likely to land on tails?

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              No but the likelihood of repeatedly landing on heads is slim

  27. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    i have a really tough decision. pukki has to go even for a hit. (have tammy and vardy (who i got in for kun as i am fed up of kun benching). i have 4m itb

    1. kane (spurs poor at the moment)
    2. firmino (4 blanks in a row)
    3. lacazette (a real punt)
    4. rashford (can we trust manu, would prefer martial?)
    5. jimenez (apart from beating city away, have wolves and jimenez been impressive?)

    not considering c wilson or haller.

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

      not good idea

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

        why? pukki has to go.

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

          (he doesnt)

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How is this not scoring goals for fun?

    Pepe Lacazette Aubameyang

    Sack Emery!!

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pepe is trash

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not at all the manager is clueless

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

      What a mess. He just has to go.

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

        so does poch. so does solksjaer probably

    3. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Add Ceballos who starts for Spain, I'm steering clear of Arsenal while Emery's manager

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hopefully he won't be for much longer

  29. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Aurier is a gash

  30. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    -8 might be a bit much. But exact cash so thoughts on
    Auba Cantwell Soyuncu to Greenwood Mane Janmat?

    Pope
    TAA Mendy Lunds Rico Soyuncu
    Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell Yarmolenko
    Auba Tammy Vardy

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

      Yep. It's too much.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      you cant justify that with Auba @ home and Mane away

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      -8 to get Greenwood in? 😮
