Scout Notes

Liverpool defence still suspect but attacking returns continue to flow

LIVERPOOL 2-1 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

  • Goals: Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) x2 | Lewis Dunk (£4.6m)
  • Assists: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) x2 | Leandro Trossard (£5.8m)
  • Red cards: Alisson (£6.0m)
  • Bonus: van Dijk x3, Alexander-Arnold x2, Dunk x1

Two early headers from Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) were all Liverpool needed to extend their lead atop the Premier League to 11 points, both set up by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) crosses from dead-ball situations.

However, the Anfield crowd had to drag their team over the line thanks to a red card for goalkeeper Alisson (£6.0m) that led to Lewis Dunk’s (£4.6m) consolation goal for Brighton and Hove Albion.

For all the attacking flair and assist potential of full-backs Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), it’s van Dijk who scores most of all three. Last season his four goals comfortably exceeded their combined one, whilst today’s brace adds to his opening-day strike against Norwich.

The 6ft 4in centre-back found himself in enough space to head home a fairly central Alexander-Arnold free-kick after 18 minutes, rising above Adam Webster (£4.4m) to loop over Matthew Ryan (£4.7m). Then, six minutes later, the same combination made it 2-0 from a corner.

In the first half, Jurgen Klopp’s side were easy on the eye, playing with the verve and confidence of a team that knew they were about to go 11 points clear of Man City, after the champions could only draw 2-2 at Newcastle at lunchtime.

The Liverpool boss said of his side’s display:

We would have loved if we would have finished one more, two more, more often and it looks much more comfortable, but that’s our situation. I don’t want to change it, it’s like it is. There will be days when we will score from situations like that and will probably not use our set-pieces, that’s how it is. But you have to score goals and we did that often enough to win the game and that’s good.

Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) and Sadio Mane (£12.2m) had a fruitless afternoon but it wasn’t for a lack of trying in the latter’s case.

Ryan’s fine save from a Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) shot in the 16th minute denied the Senegalese winger an assist, while the in-form premium midfielder could have been on the scoresheet himself soon after when being thwarted by the busy Australian.

Mane also found himself in space around the penalty spot on the hour-mark but couldn’t get good contact and the chance went begging.

Salah returned to the line-up after his Gameweek 13 benching but made very little impact apart from hitting the side-netting in the 12th minute. He was replaced by Adam Lallana (£5.8m) in the 69th minute, although the Egyptian preserved a clean sheet point to get the last laugh over Mane owners.

While Salah’s recent struggles with an ankle injury are off-putting, he and Mane remain enticing options for the next three Gameweeks and – if it wasn’t for the Club World Cup postponing their Gameweek 18 fixture – there would even be an argument for owning both against Everton (h), Bournemouth (a) and Watford (h).

The absence of Fabinho (£5.5m), meanwhile, saw Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) resume the ‘number six’ role that he had occupied before his recent reinvention as a right-sided central midfielder.

Klopp said:

We had to replace Fabinho today which is a tough one because it’s like we were really used to these things without really thinking about it. Hendo played a sensational game in that position together with Gini and Ox. It was a really good performance but we had to work really hard. And what I liked most, that the boys were ready to do that.

Liverpool looked set to finally keep their first clean sheet in seven games and only their third of the season. The second half had been a dull affair, with the Reds conserving their energy knowing that they have ten games to come in a gruelling December.

Whilst the streak of 18 home games where either Salah, Mane or Firmino had scored was about to end, at least they were cruising to a relaxing victory.

Then goalkeeper Alisson was sent off for a deliberate handball outside of his area and everything quickly changed. A long Brighton ball over the home defence set free Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), who poked the ball up onto the advancing stopper’s hands for a straight red card.

On came Adrian (£4.2m) for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.2m) and the reserve Liverpool custodian was instantly picking the ball out of the net after Dunk – once getting the nod to take the kick early – casually passed the resulting free-kick into the corner.

Klopp said of Alisson’s dismissal:

Of course, life became more complicated with the red card and the change we had to make. We had to bring on a frozen goalkeeper pretty much! Everybody sitting here is probably not really warm yet, but imagine you go there in shorts, a really thin shirt and some gloves which are not made for keeping you warm.

Some people let the free-kick happen like that and then you look a little bit silly in that moment, but that’s what you have to accept.

We kept on fighting and Adrian especially helped us a lot with two really, really good saves and crosses he caught and stuff like this.

Suddenly things got nervy for the home side when former Huddersfield midfielder Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) forced Adrian into a low stop. Two minutes later, the substitute spilled a comfortable save right at the feet of substitute Neal Maupay (£5.9m). The Reds held on to make it 13 wins from 14 league matches but those looking for reassurance that Klopp’s troops are tightening up at the back wouldn’t have been given any indication of that on Saturday.

Alisson will be suspended for Wednesday’s Merseyside derby with Everton, although Liverpool’s only two clean sheets of the season did come under his deputy’s watch.

Truth be told, there were still some hairy moments for Liverpool’s defence even before the red card. Alisson made a good save from Davy Propper (£4.9m) in the first half, shortly followed by a Dunk sitter where the centre-back scuffed a shot wide with his knee.

Dunk then narrowly headed wide a Pascal Gross (£6.4m) corner in the 54th minute, before a Martin Montoya (£4.5m) cross was superbly controlled and shot by Aaron Connolly (£4.7m) eight minutes later.

The goalscorer made some crucial contributions at the other end, firstly blocking an Oxlade-Chamberlain effort after a superb run and pull-back from Robertson. Just before the Alisson incident, Dunk got in the way of a shot that followed Alexander-Arnold’s burst into the box.

Graham Potter said of the Seagulls’ efforts:

We put a lot into the game and played with a lot of courage. We weren’t quite as aggressive as we needed to be in the first 20 minutes, so that’s a learning point for us, but we have a really good account of ourselves against a top team.

Potter again went with a four-man backline this weekend and opted for 19-year-old Connolly over Maupay up front, despite the latter’s 19 goal attempts only being bettered by Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) over the last six Gameweeks. As promising as those numbers sound ahead of a run of fixtures against Wolves (h), Crystal Palace (a) and Sheffield United (h), only one of those 19 shots resulted in a goal.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Adrian 78’); Salah (Lallana 69’), Firmino (Origi 76’), Mane.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-5-1): Ryan; Montoya (Alzate 69’), Webster, Dunk, Burn; Gross, Bissouma (Trossard 69’), Stephens, Propper, Mooy; Connolly (Maupay 76’).

    Do martial to zaha for FT or save? Other mids are mane son and pulisic

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did it. Not expecting an explosion from Zaha (although it would be nice) but he should return consistently enough for his price over the next 7 and means I can concentrate on issues elsewhere (of which I have a lot).

  2. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Best move here? 2.9m ITB 1FT

    A. Martial -> KDB
    B Pope -> Henderson
    C Mount - > Zaha/Alli

    Pope
    TAA - Lund - Soy
    Son - Mane - Maddison - Martial
    Vardy - Tammy - Ings

    Button Mount Rico Montoya

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mount to Zaha
      Martial to Ali Or Pulisic
      Don’t think you need both Son and Ali

    2. LSK
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Would do Martial to Alli this week if I had that team.

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

    Remaining wildcarders what are you doing with liv & lei assets since liv blank in gw18 then they face other in gw19
    Assume majority would have 4-5 combined players

    Also is Vardy Jimenez Ings strong enough front 3?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Would appreciate any help for wildcard, cheers

    2. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      TAA and Mané from Pool.
      Vardy, Mads and one defender from Leicester. Midfield of Mané, KDB, Son, Grealish, Mads/Alli as perfect midfield 5.
      I would go 352 with Mousset as third striker but 343 with Ings is also good imho

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Noted thanks. So you’ll just whatever medicine in that gw19 clash.
        Important to have decent cover in attack

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Play Ayew (BOU) or Grealish (che) folks?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Jack for me

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers on him at the min

    2. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you have both?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I have both - why would you question it? 😉

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

    Mousset or Ings?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mousset, better team all round

      1. JuulKrapuul
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Also my thought. But the potential price rise of Ings keeps me doubting haha

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

      I've got both, and I'm pretty happy 🙂

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

      Mousseeee, better team, longer fixture run and better looking

      1. JuulKrapuul
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thaanks! I go for it. Just to be sure I will not complain when Ings has got his injury

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Would argue long term fixture run for both is pretty similar. Both up there with the best (at least on paper).
        If you’re happy switching between 2 & 3 strikers probably can’t go wrong with either

  6. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Well, still in the quicksand here and barely moved this GW.

    Pope
    Soy - TAA - Lundstram
    Mount - Alli - Mane - Son - Tieleman
    Vardy - Abraham
    ______________________________
    Button: Tomori: Rico: Connolly

    Thinking Mount + Connolly > Pulisic + Jiminez?

    Leaves 0.1 ITB and can then do Pope > Henderson gameweek after?

    Can chop and change quite flexibly then by maybe downgrading Tielemans after Watford and changing to a 343 possibly.
    Jiminez also would provide cover if Abraham is out this GW.

    Sound logical? Cheers.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Had thought about Ings/Mousset but missed the boat on them this GW just gone i feel, plus hardly any of my ML rivals have Jiminez or Pulisic yet.

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

      Like the sound of it but definately not missed the Mousse boat. Will get even better, looks it every game and fixtures are crazy good.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers man, yeah i do like Moussett, i'm just going for the known and reliable really is anything and they're still really low owned by rivals. Can always consider Moussett for Norwich if Abraham isn't back fit 🙂
        Need to do something to bolster things, may even blow my bench boost this GW to try and spark something.

    3. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks AK.

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

      No City coverage. Same here

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, not too bothered, would only be KDB that i'd have, but sold him last GW for Son. City just looking....well, not like City.Risky, but happy going wthout for a fair few games, especially with the alternatives on offer.

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

    Bench one of
    A) ings
    B) mousset
    C) maddison
    D) martial

    Leaning towards D

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C

      Similar one with Ings Jim Maddison Pulisic

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

        Pulisic is in there but don't think I'd bench him.
        Actually thinking of downgrading martial just so I don't feel bad about benching him. But maybe next gw and upgrade ings with the money

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Noway i would bench Maddison vs watford at home

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

          Martial?

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Out of those yes it has to be him

  8. socho
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Why is everyone shipping M.Mount? just bought him in...

    1. michaelington
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Out of form. No returns in forever. Rotation risk. Better options out there. Zaha, Maddison etc

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      you brought him in?! He's due to drop, may as well of just waited, but not worth bringing in, i'm selling shortly.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Four consecutive blanks tend to have that effect

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

      I'll take the 0.1 drop then...still think he is fairly nailed and is good value.

  9. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to do here?

    1,1 ITB
    Henderson (Button)
    TAA-Lundstram-Söyuncu (1st sub Tomori, Guilbert)
    Son-Maddi-KDB-Mane (Hayden)
    Vardy(c)-Jimi-Tammy

  10. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha or Pulisic?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic imo

    2. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic

    3. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulsic

  11. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1 FT and 0.0 ITB

    Have avoided hits all season (possibly to my detriment), might be time now. Looking to shift AWB and move to 3-4-3, providing Tammy is back this GW or next. Salah is also someone I'm willing/wanting to move on.

    Gazza
    TAA AWB Soy Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Vardy Jimenez

    (Button Dendonker Tammy Rico)

    What sticks out to you as a priority?

    A) AWB
    B) Tammy
    C) Salah
    D) 2 or 3 of the above

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah, releases a flood of funds for a player who just isn't on it.....at all.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, would be nice to splash that around, no doubt.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah > Spurs mid if Tammy is declared fit Monday. Otherwise ship Tammy to Mousset or Ings.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, would just be the Son vs Alli question then, would have held off until after United in years gone by, doesn't seem necessary atm.

    3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      AWB and Mount out

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Mount could go too, maybe I should just WC and be done with it!

  12. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Just checking my GW history, since and including GW 7, I have taken 13 hits, including two -12's. Gone from 2 mil to 150k overall. Strange season

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aamazing stuff, i'm all for hits, very surprised i didn't take any this GW and i've missed out on points because of it, i'm now back to having to be more aggressive, any advice above would be appreciated El Patron 🙂

      1. LSK
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He had more than 13 hits under his belt.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Who did? i'm confused.

          1. LSK
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            El Patron. Pablo Escobar. Different kind of hits.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Ahhh i get ya now haha!

      2. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As you say it was a case of being aggressive after a poor start to the season.
        I've gone against the grain with the likes of Grealish who fixtures wise didn't look good but passed the eye test big time.

        Sold Salah and Sterling and kept Mane and KDB redistributing the funds to have a squad, even if it meant benching headaches. No such thing in December anyways with all the fixtures!

        Saying all this, for this week I'm just planning Pope to Henderson now Abraham looks to be OK. Handy Chelsea play on Wednesday.

        GK Henderson
        DEF TAA, Lundy, Soy
        MID Mane, KDB, Son, Pulisic
        FWD Abraham, Jimmy, Vardy

        Subs (McGovern) Grealish, Aurier, Janmatt.

        Plan on selling Janmatt for GW16, got my eye on Kelly or Targett.

        GW 18 should be handled fine with that squad

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah agreed, i started being aggressive again after around GW 4 after a poor start, gained ground, then tapered off, such a tough season, still at 1.2m! Two good GW's and that can change rapidly i know.

          I sold Sterling for Mane, and have now sold Salah for Alli.
          Definitely no such thing as bench headaches dirung this period for sure 🙂

          Pope to Henderson is my move after next GW as well haha!
          We have similar teams as you can see above. In fact any advice on the moves above for -8 would be kindly appreciated. May play BB as well to spark something and offset the hits a tad.

          1. pablo discobar
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Planned moves look spot on. I'm jealous of the Alli transfer. Regarding the BB, looks a good week for it, but I deffo prefer a DGW for it. But I've seen some monster single week scores before!

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Cheers buddy, yeah i had to bring him in, huge differential, let alone in my ML. I tend to agree about DGW bench boosting, but if the fixtures fall for it then why not, it's probably the only chip you could get away with using not in a DGW i suppose. Dependednt upon if Tammy is fit of course.

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

      Love it. Hits are fun and nothing better when it works. I did CHO, Tammy and Tierney to Son, Mousset and Kelly this week (-4) 🙂

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nice that mate

      Not a strange season. Idiots suggest hits are bad but used properly and you have shown they can really help. Is it Andy’s best season when he had a crazy amount of hits.

  13. Londongeezaa

    Is Mousset the real deal or just been getting lucky?

    He hardly ever gets the full 90mins.

    1. Cookie Kid

      He’d only started 7 games in 3 years at Bournemouth so he’s been working back to fitness but is nearly there

      He’s been looking incredible and will be nailed if fit

    2. Tsparkes10

      Getting lucky? You definately haven't seen his goals then

        • 10 Years

        May be benched vs Norwich

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

          Nah, he's on fire. Will play most away games. If anything he'll start most when fit but come off after 75 ish which I'm happy with

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      5 goals 3 assists with limited minutes 5M ish

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He plays in a great side that can take on any team in the league. Unless a few key players disappears I don’t see it tapering off anytime soon.

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Followed him a bit before he joined Bou, he looked decent but never really took off at Bou

      Seems to have found himself a bit, might be worth a punt with the fixtures, however not totally sold just yet for me

  14. mccormibar

    Have Martial and Mount plus 2m ITB and want to get Alli and Zaha but only have 1 free. Which should I do (already have Son)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Play the fixtures imo.. Zaha this week for martial then mount to alli next week

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

    what to do with this team with 0.6ITB & 1 FT?

    a. roberto to henderson
    b. mount to JWP
    c. martial to pulisic
    d. tammy to jimenez
    e. save

    Pope
    TAA Robertson Lundstram Chilwell Soyuncu
    Mane KDB
    Tammy Vardy Ings

    Roberto Mount Martial Cantwell

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

      Something like Pope to Henderson makes more sense to me in. But if you like two playing keepers.
      I would wait and see if D is needed or not. I am holding Abraham for now.

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

    Thinking I will use by FT this week to ditch Pope.
    Should I get
    A. Guaita
    B. Henderson.
    I got Lundstram.

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

      Henderson and double up

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going to go Guaita

      Don't like the look of SU fixtures from 20 one little bit. Could get a second goalie by then of course.

    3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I went Henderson. Just because their team looks better atm

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

      Thanks. Don’t know about the double up. One goal causes enough of heartbreak already with TAA and Robertson.
      Might go Guaita.

  17. jblakes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is son and alli too much,

    Team
    Pope woodman
    Aurier Taa Chilwell soy lund
    Son mane KDB mount grealish
    Vardy Abraham greenwood.

    Have 2.2m in bank and 1ft not sure what to do

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Greenwood to mousset or Ings
      Mount to Pulisic
      Think Son and Ali is too much personally but could be great differential

      1. jblakes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah thinking greenwood to mousset and hope Abraham is OK next week.

        Gonna give mount one more week I think. Chelsea generally looked poor with no movement uptop

  18. Pep Roulette

    Best Barnes replacement?

      Grealish?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

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

          Scored against United, probably Villas talisman too.

        Cheers mate!! Thanks for your time!! Save does seem the best option I think!!

  20. Ange Ball

    Green arrow 13k on track.

  21. Taegugk Warrior

    How many chance of Tammy starting at gw 15...?

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      50 50

    2. TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He sounded very positive in his interview. And a bad result will have far l fat Frank itching to bring him back. But honestly who knows.

  22. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all. What’s the latest with Tammy?? Can’t get Jiménez now at I am .01 short

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As I am 0.1 short.

  23. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    34pts and 6.1m GW rank...have to laugh as my team looked great beforehand!

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

      Tough luck mate hahaha, what's your OR now?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        doubled OR to 500k

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I feel ya, this was the week I was clawing back, even just a little. Of course another red arrow presents itself instead, had a horror month.

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

      One to screen save for sure

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      seems my team is now doing better away than at home. This week had 8 at home, got another 8 at home again this week as well dammit

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        all my team was at home bar Lundstram and all will be again bar Kane in midweek. Hopefully it can even itself out a little!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          all of my defence, keep and forwards at home lol. Midfield all away but one. Thinking about it that sounds good

  24. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Shifting to 3 at the back and looking to replace AWB with a budget option. Kelly a decent pick being that I still have my WC?

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say yes.

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He may only be in for the short term. But I have him and will keep

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers both.

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    evey game was basically 2-2 or 2-1 this week practically, weird

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      only 3 fixtures werent

  26. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which option? getting rid of Salah or Mane

    A) Son + Mousset
    B) Pulisic/Maddison + Rashford
    C) Keep Salah

    Pope
    TAA / Soy / Lundstram / Rico
    Salah / KDB / Martial / Mane
    Jimenez / Vardy

    Bench: Button, Williams, Hayden, Greenwood

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah definitely goes before Mane for mine.

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        which option u like

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Probably B

  27. Angelic upstart
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Zaha a viable option given Palaces upcoming fixtures?

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

      Yes

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Palace don't really do goals much. The 2-0 was a tad flattering and the one he got was horrid from Pope. He's nailed of course.

  28. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    FF seems so slow to update. I'm still waiting to see my league position 5 hours after the last game ended

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      its always slow, I dont look ntil the next day. You can see total points on their points page if you wanted to check if you overtook specific people

  29. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Top points scorer this week is interesting, wasn't a dead team or one with a billion hits trying to get top score, someone triple capped Auba, got 124 points and moved from 4.3m to 2m.

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

      Saw one from yday who had TCd VVD and benched Vardy lol

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      nice to see, surprised he was 4mil his gw scores havent been terrible just a few really bad scores recently

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        actually scrub that he has had quite a few bad weeks lol. Well nice for him anyway 🙂

      2. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It seems like there's a lot less points between the high ranks and lowest active players this season.

  30. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one from this lot please

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    KdB Mane Son Pulisic Maddison
    Vardy Jim Ings
