Lundstram continues to make FPL history with latest haul

Sheffield United 3-0 Burnley

Goals: John Lundstram x2 (£4.8m), John Fleck (£4.8m)

Assists: Lys Mousset x3 (£4.9m)

Bonus Points: Lundstram x3, Mousset x2, Fleck x1

On Saturday afternoon, Fantasy Premier League managers were singing along with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl: “There goes my hero, watch him as he goes.”

Sheffield United’s 3-0 win over will now go down in Fantasy folklore for the day that Sir John of the House Lundstram (£4.8m), first of his name (and almost certainly the very last), racked up a massive 21-point score.

The FPL defender had already cemented as the legend of 2019/20 before Gameweek 11, but two goals, a clean sheet and maximum bonus promoted Lundstram into the pantheon of Fantasy gods.

It seems somewhat fitting that this historic match took place almost ten years to the day after then penalty-taking Burnley defender Graham Alexander famously registered the same score against Hull.

Not to take anything away from the Clarets’ former captain but Lundstram has shown time and time again this season that he is completely different gravy.

Lundstram will surely go down in FPL history as one of the greatest budget defenders of all time

The Blades’ number seven is truly unlike anything we’ve ever seen in FPL history. A £4.0m (originally) defender who starts every game in central midfield and carries both creativity and goal threat from open play regularly.

His third and fourth attacking returns of the campaign took Lundstram’s 2019/20 total to 68 points, consolidating his position as the top-scoring defender, 14 clear of Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m).

Only four players in other positions have a current score higher than the Sheffield United man, which means he is by far the best value asset of the season.

Lundstram’s score in that department is 14.5 points per million spent, Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) in second place on 10.7.

The former Oxford United man is always capable of registering points from several different avenues, but against Burnley, it was his goal threat that came to the fore.

Lundstram was Sheffield United’s chief goal threat on Saturday afternoon

Lundstram often looked like Sheffield United’s most-likely scoring option able to provide the extra man in the penalty box, with the Blades’ five-man midfield too much to handle for Burnley’s four-man system.

He opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a late arrival into the box, akin to Frank Lampard goals of old.

Centre-forward David McGoldrick (£5.4m) drifted left and crossed into the box, where Lys Mousset (£4.9m) flicked it into the path of the onrushing Lundstram, who slotted home cooly.

His presence as the extra man paid dividends just before half-time too.

Enda Stevens (£5.1m) played in one of his trademark early crosses, which Mousset flicked on once again, Lundstram this time sliding in at the back post to crash home a second goal.

Lundstram was on hand to provide the extra man in midfield against Burnley

“The system suits him. It’s a slightly different shape. John (Fleck) and Oliver Norwood were the two best players in the division last year for me when we had two sitting midfielders. But we always knew what John was about. We always knew his qualities, the same as (Paul Coutts) before him. He’s raised his game over the summer, as we all knew we would have to do.” – Chris Wilder

Lundstram has now started as many matches in 2019/20 as he did in the entirety of Sheffield United’s promotion-winning campaign and looks very locked into the starting eleven each week.

Even outside of Fantasy, his rise to prominence in Chris Wilder’s team is truly incredible. The manager wanted more of a box-to-box player for Premier League matches, compared to Championship encounters, and rather than find that man elsewhere, he handed a chance to someone already at Bramall Lane.

Lundstram has managed to keep summer signings Muhamed Bešić (£4.5m) and Ben Osborn (£4.7m) out of the side, although Wilder did say after the match they are putting pressure on the starting line-up.

“There are good players who aren’t playing now. Mo (Besic) and Ben (Osborn) are really pushing Flecky and John. That’s what we’re all about. Obviously, when he scores two in the Premier League, there are going to be headlines about him.” – Chris Wilder

Mousset has shown some excellent FPL promise in recent weeks

As much as we’d love to continue waxing lyrical about Lundstram, we should also highlight the potential presented by centre-forward Mousset.

The former Bournemouth man registered three assists against Burnley and now has five attacking returns in his last five appearances.

After setting up Lundstram for his brace, Mousset played a through-ball to John Fleck (£4.8m) as he ran through the middle of Burnley’s defence. His fantastic rifled effort from the edge of the box went across Nick Pope (£4.7m) and into the bottom corner.

While a question remains about Mousset’s role in the team, there is no doubt that he can provide something for Fantasy managers after his recent run of form.

He has scored at home against top-six opposition in Arsenal, registered away from home at West Ham and set up all three goals against a Burnley side that is typically hard to break down.

Wilder has been a fan of changing his starting strikers around the hour-mark this season

However, the fact that he is yet to play 90 minutes in the league this season might be a slight concern.

Wilder seemed to indicate in the last two weeks that he is waiting for him to build-up to full match fitness.

That is why in each of his last two starts, Mousset has played 55 and 64 minutes respectively, while featuring from the bench at the London Stadium in Gameweek 10.

We should also continue to praise Sheffield United’s impressive defensive form this season.

The Blades have still only conceded eight goals since returning to the top-flight, the joint-best, level with Leicester (eight) and one better than Liverpool (nine).

Henderson is now the joint-top for points among FPL goalkeepers this season (48)

Shutting out Burnley in Gameweek 11 led to a fifth clean sheet of the campaign for Dean Henderson (£4.7m) and his defensive colleagues, the joint-highest, level with Manchester City.

While a Gameweek 12 trip to Spurs might be a cause to bench defensive assets, even Lundstram (blasphemy!), there is a huge stretch of appealing matches after that which should probably warrant considering a defensive double-up.

Manchester United, somewhat short of goals right now, come to Bramall Lane in Gameweek 13 before the Blades go to Wolves the following week.

Then it’s Newcastle (home), Norwich (away), Aston Villa (home), Brighton (away) and Watford (home).

Egan (right) had to come off injured against Burnley

The only slight concern over Sheffield United’s defence short-term is the fitness of John Egan (£4.5m), the anchor of Wilder’s three-man back-line, who was forced off after 79 minutes on Saturday.

However, there doesn’t seem to be too much to worry about at this stage.

“He’s okay. I’ve just had a little peek to see how he is. He just didn’t feel too well.” – Chris Wilder

Meanwhile, this defeat was certainly an uncharacteristic one for Burnley, who looked a shadow of themselves in the first half, especially at the back.

Manager Sean Dyche labelled the opening period as one of the worst performances by his side since last season.

“They started better than us, more aggressive in their manner, their body language, on the front foot, more energy, more commitment to the cause, and that remained throughout the first half. We made mistakes, they capitalised on it, and we don’t want that to become a habit after last week. It was as poor a showing we’ve had since early last season, first half.” – Sean Dyche

Tarkowski and his Burnley defensive colleagues did not play well at Bramall Lane

At half-time, Dyche removed Erik Pieters (£4.7m), who had arguably been the man at fault for both of Lundstram’s goals, replacing the left-back with Charlie Taylor (£4.2m). The manager also mentioned that he probably could have taken any of the defenders off, he was that unimpressed.

“I could have changed anyone in the back four, I could have changed numerous people. It’s certainly not down to one change, nothing of the sort. You also sometimes want to give the players a chance to respond, and there was a response, a modicum of pride comes back.” – Sean Dyche

That first half will concern owners of Burnley defensive assets no doubt, as they have now conceded seven times in the last two Gameweeks.

However, they have generally been much more reliable for clean sheets at Turf Moor this season.

In five home matches, the Clarets remain joint-top for three shut-outs and are yet to concede a goal at Turf Moor to a team outside of the so-called top-six.

Furthermore, three of the next four to travel to Lancashire are West Ham, Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Rodriguez (right) continues to start up-front in Wood’s absence

Offensively, Burnley did not offer much either, with Chris Wood (£6.2m) still out of the side with a hamstring injury.

Ashley Barnes (£6.3m) and Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), the former not getting a chance into the second half, which he, on the turn, blazed over the bar from close range.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan (Jagielka 79′), Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Mousset (Sharp 65′), McGoldrick (McBurnie 75′).

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters (C Taylor 46′), Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil (Brady 59′), Cork, Westwood, Hendrick; Rodriguez (Vydra 78′), A Barnes.

    Help here, please!!
    Pope Button
    TAA Lunds Soy Rico Janmatt
    Sterling KDB Mount Maddison Yarmolenko
    Vardy Abraham Rashford
    1 ft and 1.0 IBT

    Last week, bring in Yarmo to the team and made me left Maddison on bench.
    I need to bring in Mané for Pool cover, and don't have benching headache anymore. Its time to sell one of City mids?

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

    Sold Jimenez last gw. Feels bit stupid now that everyone is bringing him in 😐

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

      But why? Such great fixtures.

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

        Wanted Vardy instead. Not sure if I should reverse it again or stick to the plan and play 352 Tammy&Vardy upfront

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm still not convinced but thinking he could be a cheaper alternative to Auba for me

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I've waited all season to get him, this is the week.

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I will go for Firmino as a differential instead of Jimenez.

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

        Good shout. Need to reconsider that aswell. Thanks

    5. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Brought him in 2 weeks ago, was a choice between him & Maupay which didn't feel great this time last week, but may be starting to pay off now.

      The thing I like about Jimmy (which seems to have carried over from last season) is even though he's not especially explosive, all he needs is one goal for a fairly reliable 8 or 9-pointer.

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

    I did Aguero to Vardy over the weekend to avoid price rise.
    Haller to Jimmy for a -4?

    Sitting @ 2.2mil rank.
    Need to make up a lot of ground.

    1. Me Spurs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I would, haller gets zero service shame really good player

    2. CMJC
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A -4 won’t help that and don’t see jimmy out scoring Haller by that much. You’d have to captain him for the risk to be worthwhile.

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

    2 FT's, 0.0 itb
    Sterling + Connolly -> Maddison + Jimenez good idea? Leaves me 2.1 to upgrade Traoré week after

    Ryan Button
    TAA Lundstram Soyuncu Willems Rico
    Sterling Mané KDB Mount Traoré
    Vardy Abraham Connolly

    My team right now

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

      Or Tielemans instead of Maddison, so i could upgrade Willems to Robertson week after

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

        I like this more, have similar plans for my own team

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

      Looks pretty good to me, although that 2.1 upgrade on Traore would leave you with a benching headache each week

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

        Yes, thought about it myself when I wrote it down. On the other hand, hard to get sterling back later.

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

          But essentially the funds from Sterling get spread across Jimenez, Tielemans and Robertson who would all play every week

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lundstram(c) GW 16 looking tasty

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Captaining a defender always works out...

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

        But he is not a defender...

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Thats because he is God.

      2. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He is not a defender tho.

        1. michudagawd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          In FPL he is.

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

            Which is why he has the potential for more points smh

  6. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Whats your thoughts on my plan below :

    Pope Button
    TAA Chilwell Lundstram Lowton Kelly
    Sterling KDB Maddison Mount Cantwell
    C.Wilson Auba Abraham

    2FT / 0.3ITB

    My plan is :
    - This week: Auba --> Vardy for FT
    - Next week: Sterling + Wilson --> Mane + Firmino for 2FT

    Should I go for it? Do you have a better suggestion?

    1. AFBS_1991
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Go for it! I'm in the Dame situation. Need to bring Mané for Pool cover, but don't know what is less painful... Lost Sterling or KDB.

  7. scubasmithy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ok, so I'm transferring out David Silva - he has served me well but time to move on...

    So I want a 3rd Leicester player..

    So which one -
    a) Maddison
    b) Tielemans

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wild. Four double digit hauls and then some for $7.5m.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not wild. He's injured and has poor upcoming fixtures

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

          Yep I’m selling too for these reasons

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I prefer A but depends what you would do with the money if you go B

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

      Maddy definitely the more consistent of the two.
      I personally have Tielemans as I couldnt afford Maddy

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

      Maddison for me, also monitoring Pulisic and Martial but most likely Maddison will be my guy

    5. Party time
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Did the same. Maddison in my team now to partner Jamie V

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

          Yup, plenty of funds so will go Maddison

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

      Bottomed!

      Who scores more over the next 5 weeks?

      A - Auba
      B - Jimi
      C - Rashford?

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        A

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

        Hard to say out of those 3, it's between Auba and Jimenez imo. I'm Utd fan btw.. So that says something about my expectations.

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

        Auba>Jimi>Rash

      4. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        A

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

      First to 3 as this is a decision I have to make today due to price changes: Cantwell to Tielemans for a hit? Y/N?

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

        Y

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

        Yes

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

        Y

    8. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kun -> Jimmy

      0.2m swing in the next couple of days, but I can't make the transfer before UEL Thursday night 🙁

      Annoying

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

        I am on the same boat .
        So tempted to just do the transfer and hope for the best 😛

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

      Henderson can't play against United correct?

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

        Correct

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

      If only the Sheffield supporters on here hadnt been so skeptical about Lundstram he would have been in my team from day 1. Now I had to get him in at 4.1 instead. The blame for that .1 value Im missing is solely on FFS and the posters on here.

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

        :O they were so vocal aswell I can’t believe he thought a guy who never started more than 10 games a season for the last 3 seasons in lower leagues wasn’t the first name on our GW1 teamsheets I felt so cheated

      2. ElliotJHP
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Tbf the bloke made 5 starts in the league last season

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He was in my team since day one. For some reason did research on SHU players and boom, saw Lund was a midfielder playing as an FPL defender and at 4.0 I was willing to take a risk on him.

        It turned out well 😀

    11. Iain Dowies Love Child
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ryan - Button
      TAA - Soy - Rico - Lundstrum - Diop
      Sterling - Mane - KDB - Mount - Maddison
      Abraham - King - Connolly

      2FTs, 0.0 ITB

      Thinking of selling KDB and going 3-4-3 with a front 3 of Abraham - Vardy - Jimenez

      Yes or no?

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

        Considering that myself.

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

        Looking at similar, but thinking of ditching Sterling instead of KDB, allows the funds for a Robertson Trent double up

    12. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      For this gw only
      A. Pulisic/Willian vs crystal palace
      Or
      B. Mane vs man. City

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

        Mane imo assuming this is your captain

    13. michudagawd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pope
      TAA Lundstram Soyuncu Mings
      Sterling KDB Mané
      Vardy Maupay Abraham

      Button - CHO Nakamba Burn

      0 FTs, 0.8 itb

      Do I get rid of CHO for a hit or wait until next gameweek? There could be something more pressing next gameweek though so I'm very much open to removing him.

    14. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      100k to 390k in 5 weeks. Feel like my team has been ok on paper, no mane and no leicester has really hurt recently.

      Pope
      VVD Lundstram Rico
      Salah Sterling Maddison Mount
      Vardy Abraham Jimenez

      Button Cantwell Otamendi Kelly

      0ft 0.9m in the bank.

      Plan to do Otamendi to Soyuncu and sterling to mane in next 2 gameweeks, as long as nothing else crops up.

      GTG?

      1. Party time
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Gtg

        • Coys96
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You're gtg this gw

      2. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bench one. Not going to be easy call.

        A) Rico (new)
        B) Lundstram (tot)
        C) Soy (ARS)

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          C. I have all 3 and its the same dilemma for me

          1. Strchld
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Currently have Soy on bench yes.

            1. HashAttack
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Mine is bench 2 out of Rico, Lund, Periera and Willems (BOU)

        2. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Soy or Rico. I would bench Rico

      3. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Current dilemma, which moves are best pls?

        1. Wilson to Jimenez. I'd have to take one of Sterling/KdB to get Salah/Mane in.

        2. Wilson to Deulofeu (2 week punt then switch to Ings). This gives exact funds to do Martial to Mane whenever I want.

      4. iL PiStOlErO

        I see a lot of people mentioning Sir Lundstram. The guy is a gift, 68pts with 3 hauls already, 14pts ahead of Pereira on second place. Still only 4.7, what a bargain. Feels like parallel universe. I am still pinching myself.

          *ok 4.8 but still, same thing. Crazy.

          haha yep he's an fpl legend 🙂

            And one day it will became a myth.

        I am to afraid not to start Lundstram 😀

          Never tought I will say this but set and forget.

        Pls don't judge... still have Pukki & Cantwell, looking to downgrade Pukki to open budget elsewhere. Go to Ayew (CRP) or Connoly (Brighton)?

          Who are your other two forwards?

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

          Ayew, Palace fixtures are nice, Brighton's not so good.

        3. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Not Connolly with their fixtures. You can you do Jimenez and Dendoncker for them

        Hi Guys

        Struggling to know what, if any changes to make this week.

        Obviously Ota is a priority but want to get Robertson next week rather than this. Any ideas? (1FT & 0.5 ITB).

        TAA - Rico - Lowton - Lundstram

        Mané - KDB - Mount - Sterling

        Abraham - Vardy

        Button / Dendoncker - Connolly - Otamendi

        1. The_Colonel
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          save FT and sort out Robbo next week

        2. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          That's a strong team, I'd roll it and reassess during international break

        3. CONNERS

          Thanks

        A'noon all. Have 1.2 ITB and not sure what to do with it. Currently 442 but could go 352, over 2gw's as don't need to do a -4. 1FT. Currently:

        Pope (Button)
        Chilwell - Lundy - Robbo - (Rico - Tomori)
        Mane - Sterling - KDB - Tielemans (Dendonck)
        Vardy - Tammy (Wickham)

        I'm thinking:
        Tomori to Janmat, Dendonck to Grealish (if fit)

        Any thoughts? Ta

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

          Why sell Tomori - something I missed?

          1. Malkmus
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Well I keep looking at Rico's points on the bench, and I feel a 352 would be better. Nothing wrong with Tomori but I'd rather have Grealish/6.0 ish mid as bigger ceiling.

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

          Don't like those changes. You have an excellent 442 setup possible there.

          1. Planet_Marss
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            agree

            1. Malkmus
              • 12 Years

              OK thanks all!

      9. JBG

        Kdb to:

        A: Martial
        B: Maddison
        C: Tielemans

        ??

        1. The_Colonel
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          D: Keep KdB

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years

            This

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

            I already have Sterling and Salah though. And I want Vardy in, so someone needs to leave to fund that move.

            1. The_Colonel
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Salah to Mane raise enough funds?

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

                Nope, that would have been my first move.

        2. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          KdB is better then all. But if you have other city and no lei then it is maybe ok.

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

          Would rather Sterling out than KDB, Sterling is not proving worth 12 million, and not going to captain him for a good number of weeks

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Or this

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

              Yeah have been considering this as well. I guess I'll wait and see how City and Utd play in the midweek, some injuries might occur.

        4. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          sterling to martial since you wanna get vardy (avoid double up in case)

        4 years, 4 months ago

        Guys, what do you think of the following - Otamendi + Maupay (was a one week punt) for 4.0 (or Kelly) + Jimenez for free?

        Not excited at all about those transfers but Otamendi and my third striker have to go. Only other option is C. Willson if not Jimenez. Team is

        Pope
        TAA | Ota* | Lundy (Soy + Rico)
        Salah | KDB | Mount | Maddi (Cantwell)
        Auba | Tammy | Maupay*

        Many thanks

          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          As long as you don't get Wilson! Jimi is a good shout at getting rid of Ota is great for peace of mind.

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers mate. Other than current form, any particular reason for not getting Wilson?

            1. teneighty
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              He is a true FPL-troll and both form and fixtures are bad at the moment.

      11. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Would you guys change any bench players with my starters in this setup? Looking at saving my FT.

        Pope
        Lord Lundstram - TAA - Lascelles
        Sterling - KDB - Mané - Mount
        Abraham - Maupay - Vardy

        Bench: Hayden, Söyüncü, Diop (ugh).

        Heavily invested in the Pool - City game but I think all of those players might get returns and I want them in the team for the long run.

      12. S.Kuqi

        Anyone here captaining Mane against Manc?

        1. andres
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Vardy for me

        2. teneighty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Between him and Vardy right now but I think Vardy edges it.

        3. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          i think a lot of people will captain city or liverpool player cos everyone will watch that game

      13. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pope
        TAA Soy Lund
        Mane KDB Mount Sterling
        Abraham Vardy Connolly

        Kelly, Pieters, Cantwell 1.7 ITB

        A KDB & Connolly => Jimenez & Tielemans (-4)
        B KDB & Cantwell => Pulisic & Tielemans (-4)
        C KDB => Madds / Tielemans

        If I sell Sterling (instead of KDB) I could have Madds rather than Tielemans

      14. xHaTr

        4 years, 4 months ago

        Who scores more over next 5 gameweeks?

        A: Sterling and Tomori

        B: De Bruyne and Robertson

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

        2. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          debruyne and trent

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

            Plan to have both Trent and Robertson!

      15. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mount or Tielemans or Maddison or Martial?

        1. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          who do u think is the best fpl asset?

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

            Not clear who to own now. I have Vardy and Tammy
