Another clean sheet for Watford as Pukki and Norwich blank again

Norwich 0-2 Watford

Goals: Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m), Andre Gray (£5.7m)

Assists: Deulofeu

Bonus Points: Deulofeu, Ben Foster (£4.8m), Daryl Janmaat (£4.3m)

Watford defensive assets continue to creep closer to the Fantasy Premier League radar as they kept another clean sheet on Friday night.

The Hornets saw off Norwich by a 2-0 scoreline in the opening match of Gameweek 12 and, not for the first time in the last few weeks, never really looked like conceding.

Ever since September’s 8-0 drubbing at Manchester City, manager Quique Sanchez Flores has been working on improving Watford’s back-line and appears to have come across a successful formula with his three-man defence.

The clean sheet recorded at Carrow Road was a third in five matches for the Hornets and were it not for a mix-up between Ben Foster (£4.8m) and Kiko Femenía (£4.2m) at Spurs in Gameweek 9, it might have been a fourth.

“We’ve kinda reverted to a 5-3-2 although tonight it was more of a 3-5-2 because we wanted to go for the game and win it. Just having that base to start with is so much better for the team. You can get a foothold in the game and go from there. Just getting a clean sheet means you know you’re at least going to get a point from there so you can build on it.” – Ben Foster

Janmaat has benefitted from Watford’s recent defensive resurgence

A big winner of this run of form has been Daryl Janmaat (£4.3m) who, since Gameweek 8 has averaged 6.8 points per game.

As we’ve highlighted in some of Watford’s previous clean sheet outings, the former Newcastle man is taking up a relatively advanced position as a wing-back in the 3-5-2 system which could, at some stage, make a mockery of his £4.3m price-tag, especially compared to yellow-card magnet Jose Holebas (£4.7m) on the opposite flank.

Against Norwich, Janmaat had plenty of joy down Jamal Lewis‘ (£4.5m) side of the pitch, afforded the space to twice cross into the box virtually unopposed. Each of these found Will Hughes (£5.5m) drifting wide in space, who was able to create goal-scoring opportunities in the middle. The right-back’s contribution to the game earned him bonus points for the third time in the last five matches.

Another beneficiary of Watford’s recent defensive resurgence has been goalkeeper Foster, who also pulled on bonus against Norwich.

Foster has greatly improved as a Fantasy asset since Flores’ arrival

As Watford steadily reduce the quality of chances they are facing, as well as increasingly forcing opponents to shoot from range, Foster has been able to improve his potential for save points and, therefore, bonus.

Between Gameweeks 1 and 7, the goalkeeper conceded 20 goals and produced 19 saves, at a rate of 2.7 per game.

From Gameweek 8 onwards, Foster has only been breached on three occasions, racking up 22 saves in the process, at a rate of 4.4 per game.

Whether there is still enough time for Fantasy managers to capitalise on this run for Watford remains to be seen though.

Their next two Gameweeks pit them against Burnley (home) and Southampton (away) which certainly carry some clean sheet potential, but after that it’s Leicester (away), Liverpool (away) and Manchester United (home) between Gameweeks 15 and 18.

Kabasele was sent off against Norwich and now serves a one-match ban

Furthermore, they will be without Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) for Gameweek 13 after he was sent off for a second bookable offence on Josip Drmic (£5.4m) against Norwich. Curiously, this was Watford’s seventh red card since the start of the 2015/16 campaign, the most in the Premier League.

Either way, Kabasele has been a mainstay of the back-three since Gameweek 8 and, even though he did struggle at times on Friday night, he still put in a hard-working shift marking Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) out of the game and could be missed against Burnley. That said, Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m) performed admirably after coming on for Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) and Watford looked just as solid with 10 men as they did with 11.

It is also worth pointing out that, Norwich did get plenty of joy of their own down Janmaat’s side of the pitch, in particular. In yet another poor outing for the Canaries, left-winger Onel Hernández (£5.3m) was by far their best player.

“It’s good to have Vrančić back and Hernández fully back. Hopefully, I’ll have the defensive leaders back after the international break. Then we can be competitive.” – Daniel Farke

While it might not have been enough for Flores to consider dropping Janmaat for Kiko Femenía, his area was where Watford were most vulnerable, especially in the first half.

“(At half time, the manager) basically said just try and keep doing what you’re doing but Daryl, in particular, just be a little bit more wary. (Hernández) was a very fast lad, obviously got a lot of technical ability as well. So it was something we just had to be careful of and watch but we didn’t want to take our foot off the gas, we still wanted to keep going to get that second, maybe even third goal.” – Ben Foster

Deulofeu has made a speciality of largely delivering only away from home against relegation fodder

Fantasy managers probably did not learn a great deal about Watford’s attack from the opening match of Gameweek 12, even if they did win 2-0.

The Hornets did not actually create too many clearcut chances as Norwich largely dominated possession and the shot count.

They had just two shots on target at Carrow Road, both of which ended up in the back of the net.

With just two goals to their name between Gameweeks 6 and 11, it does seem as if Watford were just the latest side to benefit from the Norwich-effect.

The Canaries are in serious danger of becoming this season’s Fulham in that they continually boost the attacking scores of even the most goal-shy outfits.

Deulofeu was the chief beneficiary of this on Friday night as he claimed a goal and an assist, continuing his theme of last season: largely delivering only away from home against relegation fodder (such as Huddersfield or Cardiff).

“Yes (I enjoy playing up-front). Yes, because I am more near the goal and I can get more chances. Also, I run a lot, but I think I have to run a little bit less (up-front) than when I’m on the wing!” – Gerard Deulofeu

Pereyra had to come off injured at Norwich

While Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) had to come off with a suspected hamstring strain, Watford were boosted by a welcome return to the matchday squad for Troy Deeney (£6.2m), who remained an unused substitute.

“Having Troy back (is good for us). I think him just being around the team, I know he probably wasn’t ready to even come on tonight, but just having him around the place, he’s our captain he’s our leader. He really does lead by example as well.”

In truth, it was once again Norwich’s defence that cost them the points as they continue to make dreadful mistakes in the wrong areas of the pitch.

Their ongoing defensive problems should enhance the attacking options at Everton, Arsenal, Southampton, Sheffield United, Leicester and Wolves, who they face over the next six Gameweeks.

Buendía was criticised for his role in both Watford goals by his manager

Emi Buendía (£6.0m) was the main culprit against Watford as he attempted to nutmeg Deulofeu in his own defensive third, only to allow the attacker to win the ball, dribble past him (and several of his colleagues), before sliding the ball into the bottom corner of Tim Krul‘s (£4.5m) net.

The right-winger was also culpable for Watford’s second goal as he drifted out of his position onto the other flank and lost the ball, triggering a counter-attack into the exposed space on his side of the pitch.

Not surprisingly, manager Daniel Farke was most unhappy with Buendía after the game.

“We are disappointed and annoyed. We dominated possession, we created more shots, we created more situations, but in the end, you have to play without easy mistakes.” – Daniel Farke

“In football, small details make the difference and this was, of course, a game-defining moment and I’m pretty annoyed with this mistake. Yes, definitely (it was a harsh lesson for Buendía to learn) and I think for the second goal, before the goal our right-winger leaves his position and we overload the left-wing but he denies our counter with a bad touch and we were open on the right-wing.” – Daniel Farke

“Emi has made a nursery mistake. To try and nutmeg an opponent 30 yards from our goal and leave the player to go on. No. I want them to be brave in the opponents’ half. Close to their box. Take the risk there.” – Daniel Farke

The Pukki Party has been over for quite some time now

Offensively, there was not much to impress remaining owners of Norwich assets either.

Pukki’s Gameweek 12 blank was his seventh in a row, once again rewarding those who jumped ship with very little regrets.

As per usual, there was a number of factors influence the Finland international’s latest blank.

It must be said that he did somewhat struggle to find space against Watford’s centre-back trio.

While Hernández was able to find plenty of space on the left-hand side, it was very hard to get his crosses on target with Pukki marked and marshalled so tightly by the Hornets’ hard-working and well-organised back-line.

Norwich’s defensive problems are causing issues for the whole team

Furthermore, Norwich’s attacking players do appear to be suffering from the same issue that Fulham’s did last season.

Each subsequent goal the team concedes, especially when they are often linked to defensive errors, it can be pretty damaging emotionally as it effectively doubles the workload and increases pressure on the forward assets within the squad.

Norwich have now conceded six goals in the first 15 minutes of games this season, second only to Watford (although four of the seven shipped by the Hornets came in one match at Manchester City).

Crucially, the Canaries have now also lost all nine matches in which they gave up the first goal, and won the only two in which they scored it. So it does seem that as long as their defensive problems continue, so too will their attacking options suffer.

Cantwell does seem to have been downgraded to an impact substitute since Hernández’s return from injury

Finally, a word on Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) who, for the second match in a row, named among the substitutes.

The left-winger enjoyed extensive game-time during Hernández’s injury absence but impressive performances for the Cuban of late seem to have consigned him to the bench for the foreseeable future.

It must also be said that, after Cantwell came on for Buendía for the final half an hour, he did not have the desired impact. A number of his corners were under-hit and a late free-kick was looped all the way beyond everyone in the penalty area and out for a goal-kick.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis (Vrančić 81′), Godfrey, Tettey, Aarons; McLean, Trybull; O Hernández, Stiepermann (Drmic 62′), Buendía (Cantwell 62′); Pukki.

Watford XI (3-5-2): Foster; Cathcart, Dawson, Kabasele; Holebas (Masina 88′), Hughes, Capoue, Doucouré, Janmaat; Pereyra (A Gray 31′), Deulofeu (Mariappa 70′).

    Can someone explain the Effective ownership?

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

      Ownership + captain

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Equals rank killer if that player hauls and you don’t own/not captained

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Don't forget triple captain and vice captains

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

      It has to do with the captaincy.

      If no one captained a player in a league but everyone owned him then his "effective ownership" would be 100%.If everyone owned the player and captained him his "effective ownership" would be 200%.If everyone owned the player and triple captained him his "effective ownership" would be 300%.

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

      It’s a % often used to describe the average top10k. Ownership + captaincy.

      Vardy has got 110% EO this week. If he scores 10 points then the average team will get 11 points

    WC this week or the one after the IB?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Last night was a good chance. Due to the huge number of drops and rises

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

        barely affected me as already own Vardy and Pulisic, and Mount just dropped to my PP

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          its a "nothing'' question though...we don't now your team for starters. Whats the difference(for you) between this week or the next one? Sounds like you have some strategy?

          Anyway, its your WC. Do your own thing. Enjoy it.

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

      Just go to the toilet when you need a wee

      That works for me

  3. Cowboy John
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Had the same here with Lindstrom/Soyuncu, so I feel your pain!
    Didn't it just suck that you could see the Otamendi one-pointer coming a mile off.

    1. Cowboy John
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Oops. Reply fail to "Super Saints".

  4. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Watching that game last night it's hard to work out how Watford actually used to beat teams. Absolutely terrible. Probably the least imposing team in the league. Needs deeney back

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

      You tried watching Palace? They're still decently placed as well. Just score odd goals from a variety of players and are fairly solid.

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

    Just an early thought, how's about this -4 plan ?

    Hanley + Sterling + Jimenez ->> Robertson + Moutinho / Neves / Traore + Aubameyang

    Fixture wise, Auba will be good captain choice for a few next GW. But Arsenal form is a concern.
    Not sure which one should be picked from Wolves MF yet.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure on selling sterling. Unless it’s to bring in Salah or Mane.

      I’m personally not convinced by the defensive double up of Liverpool

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

      Lacazette will earn more points than Aubameyang over next 4 weeks.

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

        8 points v 7

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Selling Sterling and Jimmy is utterly nutterly

  6. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mount on my bench
    A fail or a win. Will soon find out

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

      After 3 hours we will get to know

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

        After 2 hours

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

          I m from India here already 2:49pm and match starts 6pm here.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            He’s saying that the team sheets will come out an hour before kick off. So 5pm your time if that’s the case.

            Nice to see a variety of people on here though. I didn’t realise FPL was a thing in India. I tried to set up a work league for our india office and nobody was interested 😆

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Its huge in India.

              1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Love that.

                Might give it another go setting up a league for them then!

          2. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            But the lineups will be know earlier

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

    Thoughts on Arsenal getting railed tonight, Emery sacked during IB, then Auba (C) at home to Southampton?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Watching Southampton first.
      They played well vs City last week.
      Arsenal may struggle vs them

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

        Before that people saw Southampton vs Leicester at St Mary's stadium

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

      Nice story

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm prepared for almost any scenario. But deep down I only want to see us smash them and I'd happily accept Jamie's captain blank.

  8. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pukki replacement!

    (A) Jota

    (B) Deulofeu

    (C) Jiminez -4

    (D) Ings

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

      Delo

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A or C

      I really like the look of Jota. I am leaning more towards him.

      Will decide over the IB

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

        Yeah, Jota’s favourite at the minute

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

      Ask again Sunday night

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

      One of the Wolves.

  9. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe I kept Pukki thinking he/Norwich might do something at home to Watford. He's out after this weekend and no mistake.

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

      I got rid 6 weeks ago. . .

    2. Party time
        4 years, 4 months ago

        😆 Me too. Binned him last night however

      • Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        His story is a genuine tragedy

        From a god to a man who looks like someone genuinely rounded up a depressed heroin addict and dressed him in a football kit

        1. Party time
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Hahaha

      • OneTreeTwoStars
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Did anyone else sell Son on Sunday only to be left bricking it once his red card was overturned!! Please don’t punish me

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

          When I looked at the numbers on Monday 124K had transferred Son out for the round; 100K net out.

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

          I thought about it but i always felt that there was a good chance that the red card would get overturned.

          Take that card out of the equation and you will find Son done well in the game and looks like a player in form to me.

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

            Yeah this is what scares me 🙁

      • Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I wish, not for the first time this season, that we could have 6 midfield slots

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

          I’d quite like Salah, KDB, Leicester, Chelsea, Martial, Son

          And then there’s still Mane & Sterling

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

          We are spoiled for choice this season with players with great value.

        3. Puncheon Guly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yet last week my midfield scored 6 points between them!

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Have Virgil use FT to Robbo?
        Will watch game, but Robbo has more options for points.

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

          Think what is the value of a free transfer. You get only 35 whole year

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

            Think of up scaling and the additional points!

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

          You just know that the minute you dump VdV Liverpool will get a hard fought 0-1 and he'll score and rack all three bonus.

          He's having a bad start for sure but remember he properly knows how to score goals and so ultimately has moreorless the same potential as the others

      • Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Have TAA and Mane already, thinking if it would be worth fitting Salah also with 2 FTs

        1) Mount Auba to Salah 6.1
        2) KDB Auba to Salah 9.1
        3) Maddison Auba to Salah 6.6
        4) Auba Hayden Soy to Green Salah 4.1 -4
        5) Just don’t get Salah?

          Ya offcourse afterall international break succkks a lot

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

          Worried about Mount

          1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I have Mount but wont mind him missing this GW as long as he is rested through the IB.

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

              I wont mind him being rested for the whole game. He will become a differential after the IB

      • Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Should I just hold and bench Pukki in the next GW given that Tammy has City away and Jimi has Bournemouth away?

        Have Vardy and Kun and will ultimately do Kun & Pukki > Tammy & Jimi but will probably keep Kun for the home game against Chelsea.

          I guess you can hope that was their lowest ebb

          Having watched the game I would not only be transferring him out but loading him into a Canon and firing Pukki into the mantle of the sun, just to make sure I didn't get any ideas about resigning him

        All owners who bought Mount for 6m... (currently he is 6.8)
        If he doesnt start this GW he will surely go down to 6.7 or even 6.6...
        Are you selling in this situation?

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

          Of course not.

          1. HD7
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Reason?

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

              Because Mount is the one of the highest value (points/GBP) mids in all of FPL.

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

                Pulisic OOP in the same team, starting to look nailed, Mount 55 points in 952 mins, Pulisic 47 points in 483 mins. I jumped last night and v. happy with it

        2. Puncheon Guly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nah. 6m for a nailed top four attacking player... you're not gonna get better than that over the season.

        3. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          God no

          People are buying players like Maddison for 1.5 more than we paid for Mount. Essentially the same, arguable a better, player

          Just set and forget

        4. fgdu
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          bought mount at 6.4m, may consider teilemans if mount stops returning

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

          Not unless Pulisic keeps scoring, in which case, I’ll shell out the extra 1.0

          But want a Chelsea mid and got Mount cheap so he stays for now

        6. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Got him at 6.0. Not selling.

        7. Das Boot
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          yes, done. Much better value with Pulisic imho. The game is about points not money, Pulisic is much more of a threat and will be quite far ahead points wise by the end of the season I think

          Had a look at Janmaat yesterday. He was ripped apart by Hernández. Too slow; not for me.

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

            And that's saying something given Hernandez is one of those body builder wingers who looks like he's playing underwater

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

            I had a close look at him myself and my decision boiled down to Janmaat and Aurier of which i chose the later.

            I hope it pays off in the long run but i would like to have those 7 points banked heading into today.

            No use crying over split milk i guess,onwards and upwards.

          3. Party time
              4 years, 4 months ago

              I think it was Kabasele who had a tough game with Hernandez. Hernandez served him some biscuits on countless occassions

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

                Janmaat didn’t win a single 1 on 1 against Hernández in the first half.

            I transferred in Delo for Pukki last night. *smug* Haven't had a transfer like that pay off so quickly for quite a while.

            Don't think I'll keep him long though. Now for the rest of my team to fall apart around me...

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

              I had £1 on delo and Pukki to score

              It all began so well

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

            Hard to believe Maddison is in only in his 15th month as a premier league player

            This time August last year he had never even played a premier league game

            Now he’s outscoring Raheem Sterling over 10 consecutive gameweeks, whilst still looking like he has more FPL headroom

            He’s missed all 4 of his big chances this season too - not that that’s a good thing, but if he starts tucking one or two of those away he’s well on the way to 200-pointsville

              Switched out sterling to bring him in so long may that continue

            2. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years

              I may switch Perez to Maddi if he continues with his form.

                    It certainly seems he has fooled you 😉

              Personally, I think Nketiah has more of a chance to score before wood.

            • 7 Years

            Pukki’s ownership is still over 23%.

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

              Probably in loads of dead teams.

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

            Wondering if I should just keep my triple up of Mount Pulisic and Tammy.

            Means Jimenez has to go.

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

              I reckon so, value is there mate. Puli vs Jimenez is a tough one

              1. Warby84
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Would still go Jimi

            2. Das Boot
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Done Pulisic for Mount here so have Tomori, Tammy and Pulisic.

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

                Pulisic only 8 points less than Mount in almost 500 minutes less time on the pitch. Now that Pulisic is in Lampards thoughts it seems a no brainer

          9. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Rage transferred Pukki out last night. In the cold light of this morning, I’m actually quite pleased with my moves:

            Pukki > Aubameyang (SOT, nor, BHA, whu)
            Sterling > Richarlison (NOR, lei)

            Exact money. Two England Euro qualifiers between now and the next gameweek, so maybe a good time to lose Sterling.

            Need a bit of luck with injuries.

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

              Sterling will be benched after the IB 😀

                • 6 Years

                Sterling will score 2 and assist another 2 for England only to follow it up with yellow card and suspension in the league for City.

            4 years, 4 months ago

            Have the exact cash for Mendy & Greenwood -> Janmaat & Jimenez

            A transfer worth risking an IB injury?
