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.

    Brothers and sister. Who to transfer for Son? Help a brother out.

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

      Martial or Maddison

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

      Pulisic

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

        Pulisic is a bandwagon, benching waiting to happen.

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

          Disagree.

    3. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tielemans

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I went for Maddison.
      Was creating a lot of chances v palace...

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

    So I've essentially narrowed it down to two transfers:
    1. Auba -> Vardy - the safe option but it leaves me with a likely-to-get-benched CHO and forced to play a back 4 which is not looking good this week
    2. CHO -> Tielemans/Perez - allows me to play a back 3 and have a lot of LCFC cover (I already own Maddison) but they're all less likely to score than Vardy
    What's best? Here's my XI from last week - Mings, Cantwell, and Wickham on the bench:

  3. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which formation do you think will be the way to go over the next few weeks, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3?

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

      343

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going down the 3-5-2 route. Vardy and Abraham up top ideally.

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

        Yeah it is close but I'm going 343 Aubameyang Vardy Abraham up top

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

      442

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

      I like 4-4-2, but I imagine I'll be in the minority.

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

        442 Robbo and TAA?

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

          If I were wildcarding, I'd probably include both of them yeah.

      2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm looking at a 4-4-2 as well, but it depends on whether I double up on Liverpool in midfield or defence.

        Otherwise it'll be 4-4-2/3-5-2 rotation

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

      Inter change between 442 & 352

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

      442 with a back line of Perreira, Tierney, Lund and TAA. Unless things don't go to plan then will downgrade one of the premiums

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hey mate. What's your thoughts on Mousett?

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

          Considered him this week but went with connolly like an idiot. Also almost got him on my WC in gw9 but bottled it. I'll be getting him in after the man u game for sure. Great fixtures coming up and will be first choice striker if he keeps his fitness up.

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

        Still on the Tierney punt? 😮

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

          Yup, fixtures look good from 13-16 🙂

    7. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      4-4-2

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

      I like 4-4-2.

      Probably will be double Liv def, Chilwell and Lord Lundstram playing most weeks.

    9. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm undecided, considering strengthening my midfield or just opting for 4 atb and getting Robbo instead of Mount or Maddison etc. Can't decide who will offer most value over the coming weeks.

    10. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If you go 442,who is the third striker? How cheap do you go?

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

        Connolly for now, will most likely become mousseeee in gw14

      2. HVT
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Connolly, looks a fire and forget option for now

      3. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Made me look at my team a different way actually.

    11. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on the player imo.

      Robbo, Maddison & Jimenez three players I don't own make all 3 formations viable for me.
      Getting the right one is key.

  4. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Worth using a FT on Sterling/Salah > Mane?

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

      I'm strongly considering Sterling to Mane. I might be biased by the fact Sterling has messed up a few of my captain picks.

  5. CobraKai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Just done KDB -> Mane. Decided to keep Sterling.

    Hope I dont regret it.

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

      Sterling on 4 yellows.

      1. CobraKai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Good point, should only be 1 game ban I think.

  6. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best David Silva replacement? 7.7m to spend.

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

      Pulisic

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

        Already have Abraham and Mount. Not too sure about tripling up.

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

      Maddison

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

      Madi, Martial or Tiel

    4. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why you selling him? Fixtures?

  7. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    With TAA and Lundstram must plays if you own them, I imagine the 4-3-3 will be in style for awhile. This is my first time as a long time FPL player that I'm playing this formation regularly and not a 1 week kind of thing.

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

      442 for me until about gw17/18 by looks of it 🙂

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I've got Tammy, Vardy, Raul currently. All look very solid for the next 4 weeks

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

          True, I'll monitor Jimi this week cause can easy bring him in with 2ft

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

      Is Lundstram really a must play? All of his points have come in favourable fixtures. I'm benching him this week.

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

        No Son, I reckon we'll keep em quiet tbh and he'll do well on a big pitch. Rather play him then my other players

      2. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I think he is.

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

    Current front 7 looks like:

    Mané Maddison Mount KDB
    Tammy Jimmy Vardy

    I have 3.5 ITB but I really don’t see anything better - am I self obsessed?

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

      Thats what I will have soon, and will have similar amount ITB. Looking at using that money to fund Mings to Robertson atm, which will give the double up of Trent and Robbo

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

        I am getting Robbo from next weak and back 3 will be TAA Robbo and The one and only Lord Lundy

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

      Not too sure on Jimmy just yet so got a 442 with same front 6 (minus Jimi) but Martial for Madi.

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

        Yeah Jimmy is a little punt and could go to Auba if Ars gets in form

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

      Spurs mid instead of Mount if willing to risk

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

        Just sold Son for Maddison. Mount is much better value in much better team imo(could have had a brace easily last GW)

    4. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I have Martial, think he's going to rack up the points in the next 3 gws.

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

        Not keen on Martial or Utd attacking assets

  9. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Surprised that the bookies seem to have Man C as very slight favourites for Sunday.

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

      I hate to say it but I think LIV will annihilate City. I'm not a LIV fan by any means but City's defense is atrocious, they'll miss Dilva, and obviously it's Anfield.

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

      I think City will win, but I'm surprised they're favourites, when was the last time Liverpool lost a league game at Anfield? Gotta be over two years.

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

        Crystal Palace? I remember losing an acca because of it.

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

          Just had to Google it, April 23 2017!

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don't get this at all. Liverpool look cracking value, it pains me to say.

  10. Champions League Varane

    No replies!

    What should I do?

    Ryan,Button

    TAA,Lundstram,Rico,Kelly*,Hanley*

    Mount,Mane,Maddison,KDB,Saka*

    Kun,Abraham,Vardy

    Thank you!

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

      Monitor Kun minutes this week but a 343 looks fine. Money itb and FTs?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Unfortunately no money ITB

        And just 1 FT

        Was thinking?

        Hanley and Kun

        To

        Robertson and Jiminez

        Leaves 1.9 ITB?

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

          Id save this week.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Ok thanks for the replies what about the week after what would you do?

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

              Probs lose Kun and monitor other strikers. Just see how this week goes first

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I've switch Kun to Raul for the next 4 GWs.

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

    OK, I'm thinking
    This gw : auba to vardy
    Next : maupay to jimenez
    After : digne and cantwell to Rico and mount

    Cantwell is my 4th mid and really needs upgrading. Only way is auba out really

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

        only have 4.2 left for defender if i get those strikers. And Digne stays btw. Thanks

    5. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      D with Jota.

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

        Could pay off nicely to double up Wolves attack, EL is a risk though.

  15. HVT
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What % Soy owners (9.4%) benched him?

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

      Let's not discuss it.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ouch! Must be quite high I’m thinking

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

          I'm still annoyed at myself! Had him in my team for most of the week.

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Who you play in the end?

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

              Doherty, too scared of his goal threat despite fixture and thought Soy's ceiling was a possible CS.

          2. HNI
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            It was right decision with CPL form and past h2h. It was Soy first shot and only goal this season for LEI. Wont beat myself up. Surely bench for Ars too. Can advice me below bro?

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

        How's the Doherty punt going? Tempted now with money to burn

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

          4, 2, 2 so not great! FPL has his goal threat as third among all defenders and eye test definitely backs that up, should've scored against Newcastle, should had an assist and an assist from winning a pen that wasn't given too. Also nearly scored against Arsenal but cleansheets aren't looking likely without Boly. Desperately hoping he's fit for Villa because I think there'll be lots of goals in that game, not expecting a CS again though. I'm still moving him to Robbo next week but that was always the plan.

    2. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Otamendi's 1 minute cameo is a killer! Stopped from getting Soy's points.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yea, caught a few tho his ownership is low.

  16. ppv
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any players here not have Lundstrom?

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

    Hmm. Looks like Maddison will rise tonight, and hes in my long term plans (initially brought him in before his injury). I might just take the hit to remove CHO for him. Could turn out well against a porous Arsenal

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

      I brought him in for Sterling to get Vardy for greenwood. CHO will probably not even play so surely worth it as Mad need 1 assist for bonus due his good passing and chance creation. Can advicr me below bro?

  18. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Really torn between bringing in Martial or Maddison. The latter will mean a double up with Vardy but those fixtures are superb.

    Thoughts?

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

      I went Maddison as he is more consistent

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ma for me

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hey Ma.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison longer term, Martial as a punt for the next few.

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

      I'd go Maddison, not convinced United's fixtures are as good as some would suggest.

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

        Good fixtures for us would be Norwich for 4 weeks in a row, that's about it.

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

          That's true 🙂

        2. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Didn't you beat Leicester a few weeks ago? 😉

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

            We're ok against the elite teams that like to dominate possession, can sit back and hoof it up to Rashford and James like a plucky Championship outfit.

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Wish you told me that before I put my mortgage on Leicester beating you.

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

        Hey, hope you had a good GW....I'm toying with Mount or Maddison v Robbo currently. Was all set Mount (looked so dangerous at the weekend) but tempted to turn Montoya into Robbo and play 4 atb.

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

          I like Robertson, but it can probably wait a week.

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      maddy - easy decision. Martial and man u too inconsistent

  19. HNI
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which will you want after Liv vs City
    1) Kdb + Robertson
    3) Mane + Soyuncu
    Current team
    Pope
    TAA Lund Digne Rico Montoyo
    Salah Maddison Kdb Mount Cantwell
    Jiminez Vardy Abraham
    1mn ITB

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

      1: City cover and higher chance of attacking returns from a def

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

      Close call, but 3

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

        Sorry I meant 2 but I caught your drift. Guess I will get better knowledge after liv vs city . Also Digne has Norwich later so 1 will be harder to justify

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      3

    4. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Salah-Digne > Mane-Robertson

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

        Too sideways and kneejerky. But I get it for price sensitive reasons

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

      Looks good to me as is. Not sure I get the options, but I wouldnt take out KDB for anything.

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

      V difficult but probably 1

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

      It really depends on the severity of Salah's ankle injury, I wish we knew more.

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

      I would just do Salah to Mane because 90 minutes >>>> 65 minutes

  20. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which 2 to play this week?

    A) Lundstram A TOT
    B) Soyuncu H ARS
    C) Rico A NEW
    D) Janmaat A NOR

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A-C-B

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Very tough. Probably B and C for me.

    3. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I would play ACB, Can advice me above?

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers, need to bench 2 of the above

    5. Pengen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      would start AC

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

      Play A and anyone

  21. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How likely is it that Robertson (at 67) rises AND Boly (at -73) goes down?

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

      Before the next dedline that is

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not tonight

    3. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Will probably on Thur/Friday

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

        So your saying that they both will change in price before the deadline?

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

          Yes. But wait till Wednesday match if at all players get injured

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

            Okay I trust you on this one. How likely is it that Otamendi drops before the next deadline? (Having a bit of mare with team value..might bet priced out of Robbo)

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

              Ota will surely drop again. Check every night 11pm gmt at fplstatistics.com. Not fully accurate but yiu get the feel

  22. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Are there any Norwich ITK accounts where we can find the line-up pre-deadline on Friday night? If Cantwell is benched again I'll be taking a late hit.

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

      Im torn on Cantwell. Not sure whether to play Cantwell or Lundstram.

  23. Stig
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Cantwell at Home to Watford
    or
    Lundstram Away to Spurs?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      See post above re-Canty.

    2. ppv
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

  24. FC Balls
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What should I do?

    2FT, 0 ITB

    Pope,

    Soy, Rico, Lundstram (Aurier, Guilbert)
    Martial, De Bruyne, Mane, Mount (Cantwell)
    Aguero, Abraham, Vardy

    I was considering swapping Aguero for Auba to free up some cash, but then Aguero starts and scores...

    1. Pengen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      just switch out Pope to someone more in form

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ridiculous defence last GW!

      1. FC Balls
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Haha yes Soy and Lundy saved my round

  25. Pengen
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Never held my WC beyond 5-6 GWs before, but this year I've played it patient. Last night though it got activated. How's she looking?

    Gazza
    Robbo TAA Lund Soy Rico
    Martial Maddison Mane KDB Mount
    Tammy Vardy (Greenwood)

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nice. I'd probably prefer Jimenez in a 4-3-3 over Martial though.

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ehh 3-4-3

      2. Pengen
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

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

      nice team

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years

      Hendo over gazza

      1. Pengen

        cheers guys

  26. ChelseaGuy

    Which midfielder do you think will score the highest in the next 2GWs ??? (Other than Salah Mane KDB)

    Would really help to know the community's insights. Thanks in advance 🙂

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      punty: richarlison
      martial

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

    Nice replies rn and got good vibes 🙂 what are your thoughts lads?
    1FT 1.3itb

    Hendo
    TAA Perreira Lund Rico
    KDB Mane Mount Martial
    Abraham Vardy
    (Button, Tierney, CHO, Connolly)

    Thinking save? May start CHO but depends on midweek

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

      I'd save, or move Martial on. Wouldn't touch Man Utd whatsoever.

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

        Will keep him for next 3 🙂

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

      Yeah I would save FT.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Save. Looks good

    4. Pengen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not feeling Tierney, besides that all good

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

        Was a punt that ain't worked out just yet but could be good until gw17 so here's hoping

    5. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Great team bro. Martial to Maddison after brighton home as they then face sheffield who are the best defence right now which might disagree :p. Can advice me abovr bro?

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

        Disagree? Couldn't agree more :p. Yh something I'm monitoring but villa fixture could be good

  28. drilsby
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    OK lads, the following a bit stupid?

    Auba, DSilva, Pereira --> Jimenez, Sterling, Chilwell

    Rest looks like this
    Pope
    Lunds, Pereira, Peters (Rico, Dunk)
    Mane, KDB, DSilva, Mount (donkers)
    Auba, Vardy, Abraham

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

      The above transaction is for -4, I should say

    2. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Dsilva to Maddison, auba to Jim. No need of sterling for -4. I actually took him out. Can advice me above bro?

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

        Thanks, yea I guess thats what I want. I just feel like leaving 4,2m itb is wrong though.

    Started season on a no Mo policy - being a born contrarian. Now wondering whether I should now just pick him until the end of the season on the same principle.
