Scoutcast crew discuss FPL stubbornness and Spurs assets

The Scoutcast crew have a busy evening of Fantasy Premier League discussion ahead of them.

Join Joe, Az and Lee from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT for episode 309 on our YouTube channel.

While Spurs and Manchester City play their latest Champions League matches, our panel of pundits will be focussing on these two teams in particular.

The arrival of Jose Mourinho in north London has the potential to unlock several Fantasy assets while Sergio Aguero’s (£11.9m) injury could see Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) get a run of starts.

Meanwhile, our talking point revolves around the concept of stubbornness in FPL.

How long is too long to wait for a player to become good? At what point do you recognise that the in-form option you don’t own won’t stop scoring?

Tune in shortly to find out!

    How abysmal is 4 captaincy returns from 13 GWs... never had a season as bad as this

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

      its crazy. my captain picks were the best thing about last season for me

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      7 blanks for me so far (Sterling a serial offender), still a decent rank but oh what might have been.

    Best Kun replacement?

    A. Kane
    B. Laca
    C. Jimi
    D. Others

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years

      Jesus

  3. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Having a woeful season - what would you do here?

    A) Wilson -> Jimenez (save FT)
    B) Digne & Wilson -> Doherty & Jimenez
    C) Digne & Wilson -> Tomori & Jimenez (leaves cash for Mount -> Pulisic)
    D) Digne & Wilson -> 4.0 (Williams) & Vardy
    E) Something else

    Ryan
    TAA, Aurier, Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, JWP
    Abraham, Pukki, Wilson

    Button, Lundy, Digne, Dendo
    Bank 0.1m, 2FT, WC available

    1. waltzingmatildas

      Just a for now

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

        No Vardy is killing me - thoughts on D? Think my defence could accommodate a 4.0

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sure, you have too much money tide in defense. No point keeping Digne when you have 4 other very good options. Free up some cash with a 4m def and get Vardy!

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      D is the best option by far with Kelly maybe

    3. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      How about Sterling & Wilson to Son & Vardy?

      Not sure if the cash works

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

        Yeah that works. Losing Sterling is obviously a risk, especially as I can get Vardy without losing Sterling in D.

        Son is great, but do you think he’s a better pick than Sterling?

    4. theguy69
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      D sell pukki too ings or moussett

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

      D if you can but not with Williams

  4. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Am I G2G this week :

    Pope
    TAA Chilwell Lundstram
    Mane(C) KDB Maddison Mount
    Vardy Jesus Abraham

    Button Cantwell Lowton Kelly

    1FT/ 0.1ITB

    Should I do Lowton --> Cahill or Pope --> Henderson with the remaining FT?

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

      Your good to go.

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

    What to do....

    2.5 ITB and 2 FT

    Pope
    Soy, Tomori, TAA
    (M)ane Mads Mount* KDB
    Tammy, Vardy, Jimenez

    Button, Lord, Cantwell, Diop*

    Currently on Mount and Diop to Pulisic and Cahill. I could afford Doherty or PVA, but that's a benching headache that's not worth having.

    6 points ahead in my ML for the month and my closest rival has 8 players the same. I could do Button to Henderson and Diop to Cahill and play my bench boost. However, I feel this would be a waste.

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd probably do Mount to Pulisic and save the other FT.

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

      I see you are playing jim over the Lord. Can you tell me your reasoning. I'm stuck as to who to bench between those 2. Thank you

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

        Jimenez is at home, he's in great form; scored in his last 3 games . Lundstram is a great FPL asset, but he's scored 3 goals this season - 2 in 1 game. The chances of a clean sheet for SHU are about 25% I think. To me, though close, it seems like the right decision.

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

          The way I'm looking at it is. Jim 3/3 50% blank at home. Team playing in Europe. 1 cs at home. Lord. Sheffield 1 blank away from home. Good chance Sheffield will score. But will the Lord be involved. His a midfielder not a defender. CS points are a bonus.

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

            Our teams are alike. Difference. I have gaz in goal. Chil for soy. Rob for Tom. Hay for cant. Rico for diop. Rico hay bench fodder.

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

    Best captain choice this week?

    A. Vardy
    B. Mane
    C. Kane
    D. Others

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

      A for his great form and sweet fixture.

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

      I'm going B

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A or B

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

      Salah or Raz. The way this season is going Everton will park the bus at Leicester.

  7. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Getting myself very confused with potential wc.
    Who is "essential" out of this mid?
    A) KDB
    B) Mane
    C) Chelsea mid - pulisic/willian/mount - is kante an option?
    D) Leicester mid - maddison/perez/Tielemans
    E) Son
    F) Martial

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

      You need A, B, Pulisic and Son

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        +1
        martial and Leicester mid not essential.

      2. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        In which case:
        Martial, Maupay and Heaton to
        Son, Mousset and McG
        -8 and save WC?

        Pope Mcg
        Robbo Pereira Lund Cathcart Rico
        Mane KDB Son Maddison Dendoncker
        Tammy Vardy Mousset

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

      Just be cautious on WC at the minute - Margins are so fine in FPL

      Can you imagine the impact to the current points/transfer landscapes from the following simple scenarios for example:

      - Mount scores v West Ham
      - Liverpool keep a clean sheet home to Brighton
      - Bournemouth win or draw away to Spurs

      The FPL world would be pretty much flipped on its head overnight (again!)

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

        I like that. I have mount. 2 liverpool defence. Can the spurs game be a 0-0 as have gaz in goal.lol

      2. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I am reluctant to use WC. I would just be using it to get Son in really. Maybe just Martial to Pulisic this week

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A and B are the only essential ones.

      If I were to wc though, I’d want a power 5 of - Mane, KDB, Son, Pulisic, Maddison (which is what I currently have)

    4. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      D & F not essential. Not saying that the rest are, but I would try to build around most of the remaining. Truth is that probably none are essential. If you purchased A & B on the ground floor, I would say that those two are very tough to drop or go without which is as close to essential as there can be.

  8. nibirislam17
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How was Son today? Did anyone watch the match today?

  9. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I think Trent is due a 10+ points haul. Hasn't had a tasty home fixture in awhile - think this is the one.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dare to captain?

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

    Is there any chance Mourinho has done a 180 and wants now to be considered an “attacking” or “entertaining” manager

    That’s 11 goals scored/conceded in his first 2 games

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

      I expected him to be attacking in his first few games at least, this was the case at Chelsea and United as well. The man does everything possible to do the opposite of what people expect of him

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

      Judas 😀

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

      Mourinho is a tactician ; he will change how he plays depending on the opposition. That said I think he’s plentiful aware of Spurs lack of defensive quality so outscoring the opposition is always going to be the easier option.

  11. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Morning folks!

    Would appreciate your help here. Which option do you think I should go for?

    A. Mount to Pulisic
    Or
    B. Mount to Alli
    Or
    C. Mount + Otamendi to Son + Guilbert/C. Taylor (-4)

    Cheers all.

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

      Why mount out. You still have ota.

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yes but I wouldn't take Otamendi out for someone who I'd start this week. I'll have to bench one of TAA, Soy or Lund

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

          Had to say without seeing your team

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

            I'm having a working bench for Xmas. Rico hay lund. Could be a lot of rotation.

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

        To me if you have mount. He's a keep against West ham. Mount to pulisic is a sideways move. I have mount. But looking to bring in taa for kelly. You have ota. He's more of a fire than mount.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Isn't helping 🙁

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

      A/C

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Pulisic or Son?

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

          Son just .....

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

      Losing Otamendi would be the priority. C

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        C because I should get rid of Ota or because you think Son is a better option than Pulisic?

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

          when making transfers my priority is always to identify the weakest link in the team and work from there, hence Otamendi out

          And yes I do think Son is a better option than Pulisic, I think he's one of the men nailed for 90 every week under Mourinho which is huge in this festive period

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

    Nuno being linked with Arsenal!

    Wow

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

      Nice
      I think they need a complete defensive overhaul though. Bunch of clown in that Defense (just like Midfield at United)

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

      Nuno would be perfect. Tbh we need a manager who likes playing 2 up top, Auba and Laca are our greatest strength and if someone has a system where they can play well in a strike partnership, we are straight away in the business.

      Also, Tierney and Bellerin fit the wingback system perfectly, The only thing missing would be Mids the quality of Neves and Moutinho. Willock, Torreira, and Guendouzi, though they have great potential, are far from the top 4 standard. The Quality in CBs is OK IMO (Holding, Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis, Saliba coming next summer) with a manager who can help them get organized.

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

        Nobody plays two up front any more, you can’t high press with two up, you need three for width. Nagelsmann would be a much better bet, I think Nuno would find it hard to leave Wolves.

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          thought Monaca in their prime few years back played with 2 forwards ?

          1. 1314
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Monaco*

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

              Few years back being the operative experience phrase.

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

    Should i move one of my back 5 to Aurier?

    Currently :
    -TAA
    -Rico
    -Soyuncu
    -Tomori
    -Lundstram

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

      Nope

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Could switch Tomori out

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tomori to Aurier is fine but you wont be able to play him anytime soon

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

      No

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

      it really depends on the rest of your team and if you're playing a back 3 / back 4 or planning to play Tomori for the difficult away games

    6. Party time
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Tomori Out for Sergeant Aurier

    7. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      On a -4 after doing Aguero, Hayden, Mount -> Mousset, Son, Pulisic. Team look gtg?

      Pope
      TAA Lund Soy
      Mane KDB Son Pulisic Maddison
      Vardy (c) Abraham

      Button Mousset Janmaat Rico (0ft 1.5m itb)

      Can’t see many ways to use the money itb for future moves - mid-priced/low premium options performing too well. Will probably just look at getting in Henderson and Tomori/Aurier

    8. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pope
      TAA Chilwell Lundstram Lowton Kelly
      Mane KDB Maddison Mount Cantwell
      Vardy Jesus Abraham

      1FT/ 0.1ITB

      A) Lowton --> Cahill (or other 4.5 def)
      B) Pope --> Henderson
      C) Save

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

        C

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

        C

    9. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Think Son outscores Sterling thus week?

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

        Same question but Re KDB & for long term, i.e. new year

        I guess, Son looks good deal over both of them

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

      Does anyone think Frank might start rotatting mount and pulisic?

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

        Hopefully
        Haven't got any of Midfielders from Chelsea 😛

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

        We’ll know very soon

        Everton next Saturday will have been their 5th league/champions league game in 14 days

      3. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Mount has had his rest and Pulisic will get a rest somewhere

      4. Party time
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ofcourse. Frank already said this( He will rotate in this busy schedule)

      5. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        How did son look last night ? Was he playing aa fwd as he has done under poch ?

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

        Pulisic looked bad last game and im thinking of selling. But who can I get upto 9.4mil, is it worth taking a hit to get son

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Just one game and against city away ?

      7. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Worth holding onto CHO in a draft league?

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

          What are the offered options ?

      8. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Just carried out my captaincy draw by putting Kane, Vardy, Mane & Pulisic into a hat.
        Result:
        Vardy(vc)
        Mane(C)

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Kane brace

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            hopefully, he's still pretty much a differential!

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I wud captain him - he will be d main man under MO

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Kane, Vardy and Mane all look outstanding armband picks tbf!

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Not bad 😉
          Since you are here, let me know what do you think about KDB >> Son move for free ??
          No other City in my team.

            If u can get him back anytime, no harm in doing it imo, city don't look like scoring many

              TV is 105.5 atm
              Will lose 0.3 on kDB but can easily get back by selling Salah & doubling up on Defense from Pool in future if needed

                Son will atleast match KDB over next 5-7 GWs imo - go for it 🙂

            I did Sterling to Kane last week and currently have no City. Son is an exciting option as always... just the fear that Jose might have him playing a bit more defensive than he's used to out wide but should still score well imo. Tough one though!

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

              Exactly
              Not having Son last season burned me completely so I'm a bit concerned.
              City are playing so bad atm too making it more tempting 😮

                Same thoughts here. I even have enough cash to get Son for Martial or Pulisic without a hit. But thing is all 3 (KdB, Martial, Pulisic) have good fixtures this weekend.

                And KdB plays Newcastle who are notoriously conceding from set-pieces. West Ham these days concede for fun, even Villa at home is a good game for Martial.

                So I'm still struggling to pull the trigger, saving an FT for the 3rd time in 6 seasons of FPL just looks so yummy

                1. Amey

            I’m pondering KDB > Son as well...

            What worries me is KDB getting 20 points from Newcastle/Burnley - he’s due

            But on paper, it’s a move we probably should be doing given city’s form... still not 100% convinced. Y spurs either

            City are a much better team and should score much more goals, with KDB being as involved as anyone...

            Very hard to know

            Leaning towards holding KDB & observing spurs & City for their respective 3 premier league games in a week to see where they really are before flogging KDB

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

              Wise move that
              Cheers mate

              I was all set to pull the trigger on Sterling & KDB to Salah & Son but now I'm doubting myself as well. Perhaps just getting carried away with the Son hysteria around these parts and you're right, we've yet to see Son up against a decent side where he might be required to pick up more defensive duties.

              KDB against Newcastle is certainly not the worst match up so maybe waiting is the best option after all. Think I'll just do Sterling to Salah if Salah looks ok tonight and save the other transfer.

              Thanks for the wise advice!

          any news on Janmaat's injury?

        I haven't made a transfer for about 3 weeks because I just like my team but I really have a transfer itch I need to scratch.

        Sterling and Wilson > Son and Rashford... madness?

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

          Surprised Wilson going at this late stage.
          Your TFR will be quite a common one, albeit KDB to Son seems more likely.

          1. C-Dawgg
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I have both but I think KDB is better points per million

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

              I actually agree with you.
              I am keeping KDB and don't know how to get Son.
              I do think Son playing that wide will reduce points potential

      12. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        Does it make sense to hold on to Dunk? Or better to dump for Tomori/ Aurier?

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

        We all thinking GW14 is a mega haul? I have 10 home players with easy fixtures and KDB playing away.
        Team is below gtg? 0 FT
        Plan is GW15 Pope to Hendo which will leave about 2.5 ITB.
        In a few weeks should I be looking to upgrade both Stephens and Greenwood or just one of them for the busy fixtures? Thanks

        Pope

        TAA Robbo Soy Tomori

        Mane KDB Son Tielemans

        Vardy Abraham

        Mc Govern Lundstram Greenwood Stephens

          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Since you have 2.5, making small upgrades like Greenwood to Mousset/Ayew and Stephens to Fleck/Jorginho can work but they are not priorities as of now. Maybe when you have spare FTs.

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

            Cheers. Yeah I was thinking upgrading both a little works better than 1 of of them to a 6.5-7.0.

        2. Eze Really?

          Ignore my other post pls: Consider my team and how close. (0.1)
          Same
          Same Aurier Same Same
          Same Same Same Martial
          Same Same
          Gazza Same Jimi McGinn

          Slightly ahead of you in terms of bench transfers but your side is great IMO. I think my 3rd sub is a waste and maybe too much spent on my 8th forward. With a fairly high TV I felt I could afford it.
          Have you ever bothered to work out how much it has cost to have Pool defensive assets in your side?

            I replied to the other post before I saw this. Your bench looks very strong so.
            The balance between a headache and a strong bench is difficult. But if we can afford to have them why not I suppose.

        Just the four 3pm fixtures on Saturday but I'll hopefully have Mane(c), Taa, Robbo, Kane, Pulisic, Mount & Pope with all of them playing at home!
        Will stock the fridge with beers for that lot (11pm ko here).

              I usually stream anyway. But really depends how busy it is whether I have to actually work and miss the game or not 🙂

          I will have the same pool trio and Pope
          But Tomori Abraham and Son. Mine sounds a bit more like a diff haul 🙂

          Thoughts on my team above, in 2 to 3 weeks what would you do with the 2.5 I have ITB?

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

            I would go bench cover. A decent 8th forward a priority IMO

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            it's a good team, upgrade Stephens for the silly season

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

          As of now, only 3 for me... Boring!

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

          There won't be many away fixtures this weekend.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            same amount as home fixtures one would hope 😉

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

              Duhhh! In your team.

      15. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        So at 4.8 is Aurier essential? Bap monster, goal and assist machine and spurs could fluke a few cleans.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Depends if he can avoid red cards or not

        2. 1314
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          already 4.9..tempting option but I don't know how to start him with Robertson Lundstrum and Soyuncu in my team..

        3. 3 A
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          4.9.
          Concede easily to 12 years old team like Pananthinaikos, West Ham etc

        4. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          1 clean sheet in 13 games.

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

          Long queue of FPL defenders in front of him currently imo

        6. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          4.9

        7. Party time
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He is indeed a beast... Even if Spurs concede, he racks up them points

          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Morning dzzz, having such a tough deciding on what to do with rashford and whether to downgrade him to improve team but its seems wrong removing him given his form.

          Pope -- Heaton
          Taa Lundy Tomori -- Rico Lascelles
          Sterling Kdb Martial Mount -- Cantwell
          Tammy Vardy Rashford

          A: Sterling + Lascelles >> Mane + 4.2m def
          - but doesnt seem optimal use of 2FT's when i don't like my midfield and want son and pulisic

          B: Sterling + Lascelles >> Son + Robbo
          - like this transfer but means no mane (potential rank buster) and benching Tomori for his good fixtures..but i like having a decent 1st sub

          C: Sterling + Martial + Rashford >> Son + Mane + Ings (-4)
          - Very tempting but getting rid of two MU assets before Villa at home?

          D: Sterling + Mount + Rashford >> Mane + Pulisic + Jimmy/ings (-4)
          - also a good option but basically betting that the different between pulisic (and mount) is far greater than Rashford (vs jimmy or ings)

        9. C-Dawgg
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Straight shootout, who would you bring in?

          Firminho or Rashford?

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

            Rashford is in electric form
            But United looking inconsistent as ever
            Hard call, but I'm happy holding Rashy as of now
