Scout Notes

Kane, Son and Alli continue blistering start to Mourinho’s reign

Tottenham Hotspur 5 Burnley 0

Goals: Harry Kane (£10.9m) x2, Lucas Moura (£7.0m), Son Heung-min (£9.9m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m)

Assists: Alli x2, Son, Kane, Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m)

Bonus Points: Kane x3, Vertonghen x2, Son x1

Harry Kane (£10.9m) delivered two goals and his first double-digit haul in 15 matches as Spurs put Burnley to the sword.

The Tottenham captain had managed just one goal from his last four starts prior to Saturday’s fixture, but he added an assist and the maximum bonus award to his brace to hand a season-best 16 points to his 18.3% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Rotation issues mean Christmas is rarely the season to be jolly for Fantasy managers. Kane’s untouchable status at his club and the lack of viable alternatives up-front – five-minute wonder Troy Parrott (£4.4m) anyone? – mark him out as a festive exception.

Kane suggested he can get back to his best at Spurs in a big win over Burnley

Even he is unlikely to start all of the next five games, which begins with tough tests against Wolves and Chelsea. But if he shows further evidence that he’s finally relocated his mojo, the run of Brighton, Norwich and Southampton that follows could bring in his New Year with a bang.

Kane certainly ensured Burnley went down with a whimper at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sean Dyche’s side managed just one attempt on target all match as Spurs overwhelmed them with pace and attacking intent from the off.

The hosts were ahead after just four minutes when Son Heung-min (£9.9m) laid off the ball to Kane and he lashed home a shot from close to 30 yards out.

That could have been the goal of the match, and yet it didn’t come close.

Alli has delivered in every game under Mourinho

Lucas Moura (£7.0m) doubled the advantage five minutes later from close range, with the assist going to the in-form Dele Alli (£8.7m), somewhat fortuitously, as the ball grazed his head before reaching the Brazilian.

But the goal was essentially down to a superb jinking run by Son that carved open Burnley’s backline.

That could have been the run of the match, and yet it didn’t come close either.

Son then set up Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m), who hit the post, before being denied a tap-in when clean through with Alli, who dithered just long enough for the golden chance to go begging.

The South Korean clearly decided he wasn’t going to rely on anyone to get him a goal after that, so he did it all by himself with the run – and goal – of the match after 32 minutes.

Picking up the ball on the edge of his own area, he burst past half the Burnley team on his way into the other box before finishing with ease past the helpless Nick Pope (£4.7m).

Among Spurs players, only Kane is more popular in FPL than Son (17.2%) at present, and he’s clearly enjoying life under Jose Mourinho, with two goals and four assists in the four matches since the Portuguese coach took charge.

The South Korean has proved to be an incredibly reliable Spurs assets since Mourinho took over. Providing both goals and assists, he has averaged 9.3 points per game, while Alli has managed 9.5 per game.

Vertonghen got himself an assist and a clean sheet against Burnley

Jan Vertonghen‘s (£5.2m) tackle diverted the ball to Son to earn him the assist on the wonder goal – the Fantasy equivalent of a brush merchant being given some of the credit for the Mona Lisa. Not that the Belgian’s 1.4% ownership will be complaining as it helped their man to 11 points, nearly half his total of 25 this season.

Sandwiching all of that came Burnley’s chances to make a game of it.

A Robbie Brady (£5.5m) header hit the bar and post before Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) did well to deny Chris Wood‘s (£6.2m) header from the rebound. Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) then had one header comfortably saved by Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m) and missed with another when he really should have scored.

And that was pretty much it for the visitors, who went four down nine minutes into the second half when Kane smashed in his second from inside the area. The assist came from Alli, who is another midfielder thriving under Mourinho.

More than 380,000 managers bought into him for Gameweek 16 and, despite a relatively muted display, he still produced nine points and now has three goals and as many assists from Mourinho’s four-match tenure.

Even Sissoko is proving to be an attacking threat these days and he channelled his inner Son when going on a surging run of his own, exchanging passes with his skipper and poking in his second goal in three Gameweeks.

For context, it had taken him four seasons to match that output previously, but such is life for Spurs at present under Mourinho.

Spurs have been completely revitalised under Mourinho

In the four Gameweeks he’s been in charge, only Liverpool can match Spurs for goals (12) and the side has found a real ruthlessness, with a 24% goal conversion rate well beyond the Reds’ 20.3% total.

And, for once, Spurs kept a clean sheet as well – only their second all season. That fact didn’t escape Mourinho in his post-match analysis.

“Yes, I’m very happy with that. I told the boys at half-time that the clean sheet should be a collective ambition, not something that belongs to the goalkeeper or the centre-backs, everybody. I could give an example of Lucas (Moura), he was one of the players further from our goal but his commitment in the defensive process was very strong.”

Serge Aurier (£5.0m) is the most popular asset in the backline, with 6.1% ownership, although rotation is highly likely to bite the full-backs over Christmas, even if the Ivory Coast international has little competition at right-back currently.

Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) are Mourinho’s preferred picks at centre-half and might, just might, stay that way for the rest of this year.

Son’s energy and dynamism has spread around his team-mates since Mourinho arrived

What is not in doubt is the vibrancy and dynamism of Spurs’ attack, with the midweek loss at Manchester United the exception, not the rule.

That suggests even those tricky fixtures against Wolves and Chelsea won’t stop the rush to bring in their offensive assets, with Son, Alli and Kane all in the top five for Gameweek 17 transfers-in at present.

But before we all get drunk on the fumes of Tottenham’s attacking spirit, remembering the quality of the opposition they demolished should sober us up a tad.

Burnley have had a wretched week, losing three straight games by an aggregate score of 11-1 and prompting Dyche to play the injury card post-match.

“We’ve had a really tough week though and we are depleted at the minute. We have as many injuries to key players as I can remember, which doesn’t help. But onwards and upwards; that’s the way it is. We’ve done it before, and we have to continue doing it.”

Burnley have not enjoyed the last few days

On first glance, Burnley’s squad is not so badly off, although stalwarts such as Ashley Barnes (£6.3m) and Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) are currently absent.

And their schedule is pleasant enough, with trips to Bournemouth and Everton and visits from Newcastle, Manchester United and Aston Villa before the FA Cup third round makes its unwelcome Fantasy appearance in early January.

But the present malaise is more than just a week old.

No side has currently conceded more goals than the 20 they’ve shipped over the last eight Gameweeks, and their decidedly underwhelming 9.2 minutes per chance average over that period means the strikers have been over-performing to score the ten goals they’ve managed – a tally that supposedly goal-shy Newcastle have reached from one game fewer.

That should keep most of their players off our Christmas lists unless Dyche – a past master at turning things around – can re-invigorate his troops pretty much immediately.

Instead, it’s Son, Alli and now Kane who are likely to provide us with some festive fun, with maybe a defender or two worth monitoring if the side can continue to embrace Mourinho’s more traditional tastes in the busy weeks ahead.

        That's one that I've been considering. But then KDB has arsenal this weekend so might wait a week.

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Bench order ?

      But yes, hold the free transfer and decide what to do with your Liverpool players next week

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

    How do you feel about this team and two free transfers...missing the boat lately with no spurs, Maddison, Ings, etc...

    Ryan
    Taa-Lund-Soy
    Mo-KDB-Alli-Mount
    Tammy-Vardy-Raul

    (Sterling>Alli and Mousset>Tammy)

    Could also do Sterling>Son and Mousset>Ings

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

      wud keep sterling for mighty gunners

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      both good, Son’s stats are better than Alli’s now generally, but Tammy is a better choice than Ings.

      Who are your subs ?

      I would consider using one transfer to deal with your bench and future rotation and saving a FT to have two for next week to dump your Liverpool players

      1. mazkills
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Pieters-Tomori-Cantwell-Button

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          ouch ... I would swap Tomori out for a Palace defender after the midweek games and revisit it all next week

  5. SkeletONv01

    Pope
    Dunk - Soy - Tomori - Lund - Kelly
    Mane - Son - Alli - KDB - Maddison
    Vardy - Abraham - Conolly

    2FT, is it crazy to drop KDB? Thinking about Tomori, KDB, Conolly > Aurier, Cantwell, Rashford -4.

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

      yes keep kdb

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      have you seen KdB stats ? been unlucky not to have hauled

          then g2g 🙂

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      probably the perfect team

      1. olidooley
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Son, Grealish over Alli, Maddison better going forward I think

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Son over Alli, but not Grealish over Madds

          1. olidooley
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            As a pair against pair I mean...similar cost

  7. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is a 160 point deficit too high a hill to climb in Mini league at this stage?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No but lots of luck needed.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tough going

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

      Have to outscore him by around 7pts per week. Getting captaincy, chips right will be important.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers All

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

      Definitely not, will need consistent captain picks and nail the chips when it comes to the DGWs

  8. seewhyaxe

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hello dz,

    Those who still have wildcard, what are your plans for the next 3 gws? I'm quite perplexed by the gw18 fixtures as none of the top sides have a good fixture on paper with Pool blank, MCI vs LEI, Spurs vs CHE.

    I'm trying to have 2 FTs going into gw18 and would probably target MUN's assets like Rashford.
    So probably getting rid of Mane + Jimenez, not sure about Robbo as I could just bench him.

    GW 19 - Pool facing Leicester so hold off first?
    WC gw20 to bring Pool assets back.

    What are your current plans?

  9. PapaWengzz

    Mardy captain debate gonna be intense this week

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

      Stick it on Salah and sorted!

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

        It's 2019 not 2017 😉

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years

          Hey I’m basking here! For one week!

  10. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this team. 1 FT.

    Pope
    TAA Soy Tomori Kelly
    Sterling Mane Pulisic
    Jesus Firmino Jimenez

    Maximin Diop 4.4

    1. seewhyaxe

      Different, very different.

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

      Anything but template

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

      no Vardy no party

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

    Kevin turning into a FOMO pick, doubt he gets many returns in upcoming weeks if they continue to play like this.

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

      getting rid after arsenal

    2. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. I got rid of Tottenhams 2nd striker

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        For*

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

      His stats are brilliant still.
      Was very unlucky to get nothing last GW.
      I'm keeping (Hopefully) for the foreseeable

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

      They put 4 past Burnley on Tuesday night. He was a Lindelof leg away from a goal and multiple assists. Not shipping him just yet. Aguero back would help mind ...

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

        Thanks for reminding me about the block from Lindelof.
        His celebration after that was special. Loved the passion 😮

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

          All on the line. Rainy day at Stoke that’s bulging the net.

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

            I miss the Rainy, windy games at Stoke City stadium 😮
            Likes of Showcross looked monster in those games.

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

              Shawcross was in many a fantasy team!!

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

        And he got nothing in that game. Other than Arsenal game, I doubt they will score more than couple of goals in upcoming weeks, even that would be a huge task.

        If I could get Alli, I wouldn't even have a 2nd thought getting rid of him 😀

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

          Leicester won’t park the bus, I doubt Wolves will either. Scoring goals is rarely a City problem, United played nine at the back with De Gea in top form.

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

            "We Defended as a team" is much better 😀

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

              LOL. Touche!

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

          Would you do it for a hit ??
          KDB to Alli (-4) 😛

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

            Next week for sure, not expecting much from Spurs vs Wolves

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

              Yeah
              One more GW of information could help too. The thought of going without City attack is scary though

          Thanks buddy 🙂
          Yes, it's tempting. But, having watched Vardy score 2 yesterday has put it back on him.
          He's just on a fun ride atm. Norwich are pathetic too. Not going to overthink it

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

            am on Mane

            as I think Vardy will be 5 or 6 points like against Watford, where as pool are gonna smash Watford to 4 or 5

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

              Cool.
              I'm backing Vardy to score at least a goal & an assist.
              Norwich play attacking football & give space in behind.

    3. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years

      not replacing Pope?

        0 FT 0.8m itb

        Don't have FT atm so have to keep him.
        Will swap around GW 19/20 i guess

    4. bigbudgie

      Just fine for this week!

      1. Amey

        Glad you like it BB 🙂

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys! Finally on the right track, went up from 1.9m to 1.3m in the last 3 GWs. Still a lot of work to do though. Top 200k is my new season goal.

    Team for GW17 is :

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Kelly
    Mané KDB Son Maddison Zaha
    Vardy Abraham

    Button Dunk Connolly Rico

    1 FT, £0.4 itb

    I think I'll hold, but have you any advice on possible moves ?

    Cheers all.

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

      Looks good for this week. If somehow you can convert Zaha to Rashford, that would be nice.

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

      Save & move to 343 next GW probably ?
      So many strikers doing good that playing 2 looks like wasting a precious resource

  14. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Henderson Button
    TAA Chilwell Lundstram Lowton Kelly
    Mane KDB Maddison Mount Cantwell
    Rashford Vardy Ings

    1FT / 2.0ITB

    Should you save FT? Any other suggestion?

    Thanks!

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

      Yep, save. Mount to Alli next week.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, that was my plan too. I am gonna have to make another transfer transfer to free up some funds tho (0.3m).
        Will probably be Chilwell to Aurier.

    Top 5 transfers out...KDB, Sterling, Aubameyang, Jiménez, Pulisic

    Wow....all those are top FPL assets and can haul anytime

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

      KDB raz pulisic is strange considering the fixture

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Same with Jiminez
        TOT, nor
        people should be more patient, he is close to double drop 🙁

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

      KDB & Pulisic to punish the sellers !!

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The top 10 transfers in all hauled apart from Abraham.

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

    Looking for villa midfiled double up for GW18, 19, 20 where they play saints, norwich at home and watfod away...

    a - Grealish (locked)
    b - El Ghazi ? is he nailed, he looked gud yesterday

    or is double up unnecessary?

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

      How can you play both is my question. Double up can be good considering price & fixtures tbh

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

        ya thought about this 🙂

        18 - in place of mane
        19,20 - for jimenez

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

          Why sell Mane? can you bench him like many of us ??

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

            yeah I meant...the 2nd villa mid is to bench mane in 18, and jimenez in 19,20

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

              GW18; looking for this

              Kelly Lund Baldock
              son alli Grealish elghazi
              vardy raul tammy

              bench : Soy TAA Mane

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

                Ohh
                Like it then

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

                  Any other mid interests u for GW18 who cud be a differential?

                  gonna use 2 FTS to do KDB + Dendonker ➡ Grealish + 8.5

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

                    Nevermind...just seen everton are playing gunners..no better pick than inform richarlson as everton are playing direct now with 442 n gonna cause gunners plenty of problems on the counter

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

                    Richarlison is also a good punt

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

      Will probably be rotated with Trezeguet but thats fine at that price

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

        Instead of double up, you can try Shelvey. Cheap enough to bench.

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

          Thanks mate...will look into this 🙂

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

          Scored 3 games running.
          Loves a screamer too. Like that.

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

      Could consider JWP too

  17. Lukakus Unit
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Have exactly the funds right now to swap Abraham & Son to Rashford & Alli for a -4. Pull the trigger?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That's a weird one for -4pts. No for me

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

      Nah

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

      Terrible. No

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

      The definition of sideways. They're all great

      1. Lukakus Unit
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Fixtures turn for Chelsea after Bournemouth.

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          - they all have great fixtures this week
          - you're including Son to Alli in the transfer

          Wait a week, then find another way to Alli (Tammy>Ings for example), which means you might not be able to have Rashford. Can't have em all

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          review it after Bournemouth then ?

  18. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA Lundy Soy (Kelly Rico)
    Mane Son Maddison Mount (dendonker)
    Vardy(c) Rashford Tammy

    1FT, can't see anything obvious?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, I would save the FT

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

      Save FT

  19. Quackadoodz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg? Any pressing changes needed? 0.1itb, 0ft. Can sense that it’s gonna be a tricky week for captaincy.

    Ryan
    TAA, Aurier, Lundstram
    Mane (VC), Son, Alli, KDB
    Vardy (C), Rashford, Tammy

    Button | Kelly, Rico, Dendoncker

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good.

  20. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Considering getting in Lindelof for the matches against Watford & Newcastle.
    Can we expect a CS from United?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Good chance.

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would say so. Defense is getting better and better
      Might consider Maguire again

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

      Watford, yes

      It's frustratingly difficult to defend Newcastle's set pieces, so that's less likely

  21. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who are you considering to C in gw18?

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

      Rashford

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

      Son/Aurier

      King if he is fit

    3. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy

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

      Son

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

    Jota storm might be coming soon, played well yesterday...

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      sooooo cheap 🙂

  23. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Popular FFS players on 4 yellow cards ... could be tricky in GW18 with Liverpool blanking and if these guys pick up a card in GW17 ... transfers are precious 😉

    TAA, Lunds, Baldock, Rico, Tarkowski
    Grealish. Sterling

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

      Hopefully Grealish and Lundstram get YC 😀

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Anyone but Lunds

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

      Lundstram would be bad one to take.
      Believe me i resisted getting Grealish this GW for a hit because of 4 YC situation

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        dude, you sold Jimi ?

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

          Yep

  24. villian-ty
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have 2 FT and 0.3 ITB

    What to do? I can think of Tielmans out but for whom?

    Gazzinga Button
    Rico Kelly Soy Robbo Lund
    Mane KDB Tielmans Son Pulsic
    Abraham Ings Vardy

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tielmans/Pulisic & Ings to Rashford & Fodder ?

  25. 404_FC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    is KDB worth keeping now?

    man city form not good now

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

      Yes

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looks nice after GW18.
      Arsenal should give chances and even Leicester likely to concede.

    3. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I am thinking of dropping until City gets back to form, anyways only an assist provider not a goal scorer

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

        Confirmation bias

        1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          No City returns come from any of the 10 players on pitch so even though KDB has a high chance of getting an attacking return but I like Son and Tottenham more according to current form and future fixtures.
          Also, City is no more fixture proof

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

      He's gone for me
      I just feel like Son is the better option over the medium term, and I could only have one of them

      1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Agree.

    5. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      cheers all, i think now he hav to gone

  26. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Tottenham Double up with Son and Alli with KDB >> Son ??

    Attack looks like
    Mane KDB Sterling Mads
    Rash Vardy Ings

    1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      *Alli and not Sterling

    2. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i double up alli + son

  27. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    pls comment :

    KDB+Tiele+Connolly -> Madds+Grealish+Rash for a hit Y or N?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I've seen worse. I think it looks good

      1. 404_FC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        yes but greahlish 4th yellow card, careful

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          true dat

    2. smix
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bring Grealish in next GW. Hes on 4 YC's at the moment & could miss GW 18 if he gets a YC next game

  28. Locolo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    My formation is 3-4-3.

    Mane (vc) didn't play and I got Kelly as my first sub. Why didn't it autosub Kelly to 4-3-3 formation?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      GW is not finished yet

      1. Locolo
        • 5 Years

        Opps.. thanks! Didn't realize that

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

  29. Wally banter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sell Maddison n Taa for Son
    Or Kdb to Son

    1. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      KDB

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lose two great assets over one? Nah

  30. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Did Tielemans, Jimi to Grealish, Rashford for free. Bench order OK?

    Gazza
    TAA Pereira Lundstram
    Alli Son Grealish Mane
    Vardy Tammy Rashford

    Button Kelly McTominay Chambers

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
