Vardy delivers again as De Bruyne eases injury fears

Fantasy Premier League managers who were brave enough to place their captain armband on a player from Manchester City’s win over Leicester were moderately rewarded on Saturday evening.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.4m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.8m) all got an attacking return each in the Etihad Stadium’s all-important clash.

We’ve got the Fantasy talking points from that match as well as information on wins for Wolves and Newcastle.

Man City 3-1 Leicester City

Goals: Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m), Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) | Jamie Vardy (£10.1m)

Assists: Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m), Raheem Sterling (£11.8m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.4m)

Bonus Points: Vardy x3, Gündogan x2, Mahrez x1

Vardy may have been on the losing side of Saturday evening’s televised match but there were few complaints from his Fantasy owners at his 17th goal of the season.

As predicted by many in the FPL world over the last few days, Manchester City were indeed vulnerable to the Leicester counter-attack, despite controlling the match throughout.

Vardy had a number of opportunities to get behind the reigning champions’ questionable defence, showing why in Pep Guardiola’s time as Manchester City manager, no player has scored more against them (Six for Vardy, Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min all on four).

We had our first glimpse of the damage he could do in the 18th minute when Vardy found some space on the right.

He did well to get past Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and square to Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) who could not add a decisive touch.

Those two Leicester players combined again in the 22nd minute when Vardy found the net.

Barnes played an excellent outside-of-the-boot through pass to put Vardy behind the City defence and the centre-forward won his one-on-one with Ederson (£6.0m) by dinking it over him.

Five minutes later, Vardy was in again, finding yards of space to get beyond Otamendi and Fernandinho (£5.2m). Unfortunately for his owners, he drifted a little too far to the left and shot over the bar from a tight angle.

Leicester were a little more subdued in the second half but it didn’t stop Vardy trying to get behind the hosts’ defence.

On the hour mark, he found the space on the right again and played an incredible pin-point cross to the on-rushing Barnes. He made contact just outside the six-yard-box, but could not get enough purchase on it before Ederson completely wiped him out.

It was certainly a performance from Vardy that suggested he can be trusted to get attacking returns against Liverpool on Boxing Day.

De Bruyne and Sterling also showed plenty of encouragement for the Christmas period.

Together with Mahrez, the Belgian, in particular, gave Ben Chilwell (£5.8m) an evening to forget, doubling-up on him on their right-flank.

De Bruyne was officially listed in the central midfield again, having been named in the front-three against Arsenal, but he did push forward into dangerous positions on Saturday night.

During the first half, he was advancing into the number 10 area while the majority of his touches came on the right across the course of the fixture.

He got his well-deserved attacking return in the 69th minute when he powered through the Leicester defence and squared to Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) at the back post.

It could have been much than that for De Bruyne as he set Sterling up in the eighth minute, who could not quite get his shot off under pressure while the Belgian also struck the post in the 14th minute.

There were concerns over De Bruyne when he went down and limped off in the closing stages but the player himself confirmed he suffered nothing more than cramps.

“Yeah (I’m okay). Just a little bit of cramps. It was a hard game, very open, the teams went all the way. In the end, my body said just take a rest. The grass was nice and soft.” – Kevin De Bruyne

Jesus also asked questions before finding his goal, forcing decent saves out of Kasper Schmeichel (£5.4m) in the first half.

However, it is possible that the Brazilian’s run in the team could be coming to an end as Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) returned as a second-half substitute against Leicester.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Mendy, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Walker; B Silva, Gündogan (Rodri 79′), De Bruyne (Aguero 90+1′); Sterling (Foden 89′), Jesus, Mahrez.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; H Barnes (Albrighton 64′), Maddison, Tielemans (Praet 77′), Pérez (D Gray 68′); Vardy.

Norwich 1-2 Wolves

Goals: Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) | Romain Saïss (£4.4m), Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m)

Assists: Joao Moutinho (£5.4m), Matt Doherty (£6.1m)

Bonus Points: Cantwell x3, Emi Buendía (£6.0m), Jiménez x1

Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) continues to punish the host of Fantasy managers who moved away from him several weeks ago.

He scored the winning goal for Wolves in their 2-1 win at Norwich on Saturday afternoon, his seventh one in the Premier League this season.

Crucially, it means the Mexican forward has now had an attacking return in seven of his last eight matches.

His bonus point from the match sees him increase his season score by seven, ensuring he remains inside the top six for value among forwards in 2019/20.

Whether Jiménez can keep up his recent form does remain to be seen though as it’s Manchester City (home) and Liverpool (away) up next for Wolves.

In truth, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men were poor for large spells of their trip to Norwich, especially in the first half.

The hosts were by far the better team to begin with and Wolves only got back into the game when Romain Saïss (£4.4m) nodded home a Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) cross.

At the time, the 60th minute, the goal was very much against the run of play, although ultimately, Norwich lost the game because of their defensive frailties.

With Wolves not asking too many questions especially early on, it was a damning indictment on Norwich’s defence that they gave up the lead in the second half.

With Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) recently ruled out until February, Grant Hanley (£4.0m) was forced back into the team probably earlier than Daniel Farke would have liked.

However, the former Newcastle United man was praised for his performance by the local press. Furthermore, it is worth noting that due to long-term absences elsewhere in defence, Hanley, priced at £4.0m, could be set for a run in the team now.

“We were unlucky but we can’t use that as an excuse. If we took our chances and defended properly, we would have won the game.” – Grant Hanley

Ultimately, what truly cost Norwich was their poor finishing. As already mentioned, they were by far the better side across the course of the match, creating much better chances, but failing to put them away.

Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) made some excellent runs to cause the Wolves defence problems but was twice denied by an impressive Rui Patrício (£5.2m), who made a total of six saves at Carrow Road.

Alex Tettey (£4.5m) also hit the post in the first half after a powerful drive from range.

The only Norwich asset to find the back of the net in Gameweek 18 was Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) as he punished those who benched him once again.

He capitalised on a loose ball in the box following a Kenny McLean (£4.9m) to rifle home his fifth goal of the season, although he was still on 571,000 FPL benches.

However, Cantwell may find himself started by considerably more of his owners on Boxing Day when Norwich travel to face an Aston Villa defence that has conceded seven goals across their last two home matches.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Byram, Hanley, Zimmermann, Aarons; Trybull (Vrančić 86′), Tettey (O Hernández 87′); Cantwell (Srbeny 86′), McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty; D Jota (Neto 77′), Jiménez (Cutrone 90+4′), Traoré.

Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace

Goals: Miguel Almirón (£5.8m)

Assists: None

Bonus Points: Almirón x3, Paul Dummett x2 (£4.4m), Martin Dúbravka x1 (£5.0m)

A belated first-ever Newcastle goal for Miguel Almirón (£5.8m) was arguably the only story to come out of a dreary affair at St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.

Crystal Palace dominated possession but could not offer too much in the way of any real threat as they continue to demonstrate they might not be able to deliver on their appealing set of fixtures.

Wilfried Zaha‘s (£6.8m) counter-attacking runs could not produce anything to truly test Martin Dubravka (£5.0m), Christian Benteke (£5.7m) was also denied by the goalkeeper and Cheikhou Kouyaté (£4.9m) headed over from a corner.

Newcastle were boosted in their attack by the return of Jonjo Shelvey (£5.1m) and Almirón to their midfield and Steve Bruce opted for a more direct 3-5-2 formation, featuring those players in central midfield with Joelinton (£5.6m) and Andy Carroll (£5.4m) up-front.

It was the former West Ham forward’s presence in the air that lead to Almirón’s goal while the Paraguayan asked questions of the Palace defence with his pace for much of the afternoon.

Shelvey also tested Vicente Guaita (£5.1m) with a shot from the centre-circle when the Crystal Palace goalkeeper was off his line.

It’s West Ham up next for the Palace defence which, through Guaita and Martin Kelly (£4.4m) has earned plenty of interest in recent weeks.

Despite failing to keep a clean sheet in either of the last two, after a spell of three in a row, there were some positive news for the Eagles’ backline.

While Scott Dann (£4.3m) was unable to overcome his yellow-flag, forcing Kouyaté to play centre-back, there was a welcome return for Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) at left-back.

Furthermore, Jairo Riedewald (£4.5m), who started at left-back against Brighton before going off with an injury was named on the bench while Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) is now free from suspension.

Newcastle United XI (3-5-2): Dúbravka; Lejeune, Fernández, Schär; Dummett (Yedlin 90+3′), Almirón, Shelvey, Hayden (S Longstaff 64′), Manquillo; Joelinton (Gayle 77′), Carroll.

Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Guaita; van Aanholt, Kouyaté, Tomkins, M Kelly; McArthur (Meyer 86′), Milivojevic, McCarthy; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew.

    Is Maddison a seaon keeper?

    Son to Grealish this week then Maddison to Salah after. Double up with Mane.

    Or keep Maddison and get someone else for Son?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      If I owned Maddi I wouldn't get rid.

      I would keep for now and monitor to see if Liverpool double up is worth it. I am currently planning on it post Wolves game.

      Gambled at start of the season and regretted it. I would avoid.

      Alli?

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

        An option, definitely.

        Would you consider Son to Salah (and a Rash downgrade) for a -4?

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

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

      I am in a similar boat. I am thinking Alli. I have been toying with downgrading Abraham to Greenwood and then Son to Salah. Thoughts?

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

        Same here with a Rash downgrade.

        I think I may just do Son to Alli and wait a bit more to bring Salah

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

          Yeh. Thats what my gut says. Spurs have 3 good fixtures over Xmas. Alli will be nailed on to start them in Sons absence. I have Mane as Liverpool cover and want to avoid the -4 if possible.

  5. have you seen cyan

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Early rage transfers
    Son, Robbo out
    Baldock, Salah in -4

    A) GTG
    B) play Cantwell, bench Mousset

    Gazzaniga
    TAA Lord(C) Baldock
    Salah Sterling KDB Alli
    Vardy Abra Mousset

    (Cantwell Rico* Soy)

    Captain not 100 percent decided yet.

  9. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Going terribly recently. With son out looking at a punt on Spurs attack:

    A) Zaha > Lucas
    B) Pulisic > Alli

    Gazzaniga (Button)
    TAA, Kelly, Maguire (Soyuncu, 3.9)
    KDB, Maddison, Pulisic, Zaha (Dendo)
    Kane, Vardy, Jimenez

    I prefer A I think, Zaha flatters to deceive

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yea I think a rested Pulisic is worth keeping for next week.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly. He will be out for Mané after that.

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          So Zaha to Lucas this week and pulisic to mane next? Sounds good.

  10. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    WC'ing next GW. Any 1 week punts I could look at here-
    Robbo-> Aurier maybe?

    Henderson.
    Robbo, Lundstram, Kelly.
    Pulisic, Grealish, KDB, Salah.
    Abraham, Kane (c), Vardy.
    Button, Cantwell, Soyuncu, Williams.
    1ft, 0.0m

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier is terrible

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

      I’d be more tempted by a Chelsea defender.

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

      Kane captain?

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Has everyone gone off Rashford?
    Had planned to get him for Jimi originally

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

      Was my plan too, not so sure now. Son red has changed a few priorities though.

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

      I haven’t. Fourth most in form player in the league, good fixtures and Pogba back. Should come good.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If people say yes, would that change your plans?

    4. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sticking

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

      Getting called Gashford/Trashford again over on RedCafe now. I’m probably getting rid after Newcastle. Would rather we start Greenwood tbh

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

      Watching him play he has been fairly unlucky to not score most games. I’d say hold unless something more exciting turn up

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

        I think he will come good. He is in good form and takes free kicks and pens. I am keeping a hold next 3 fixtures.

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Going forward
    A Pope
    B Ryan

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

      B

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

      A /Ryan owner

    3. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Neither imho. Guaita, Pickford, Ramsdale all better options imho.

    4. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Look at Pope's fixtures... Sea of red

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

      B

  13. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son replacement ???

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

      It's a long list, need to know who you already have.

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Already have Alli & KDB

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

          Grealish looks a decent option or if you have the cash Salah/Mane.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pogba is exciting even tho I hate Man U players

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        How did he look today?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Didn't pay too much attention tbh so can't tell really

        2. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Not bad but too early

    3. jamie1972
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Haven't seen the Son red card but the text updates I got said it was harsh, any chance it may be rescinded?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Don't think so

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

    Did Tammy go off injured earlier?

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

      It wasn’t clear. He may have pulled up as he knew he was going off. Was a quick sub

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

      Think it was tiredness or cramp.
      He was dancing with tomori at the final whistle so he’ll be fine.

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1FT, £3m ITB, trying to think long term. Which move do you like the most?

    A) Maddison > Richarlison
    B) Rashford > Kane
    C) Ayew > Callum Wilson

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

      Don't really like any of them tbh, mate.

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

      Neither is tempting

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        To give some context, here is my squad. Any ideas appreciated. I could roll it but I just think there is a transfer to be done. Especially with that much cash in hand.

        Selling Ayew makes some sense but Jimenez and Ings' fixtures are awful.

        Guaita
        Kelly Lundstram Robbo
        Mane Maddison Alli Cantwell KDB
        Rashford Vardy

        Pope Ayew Soyuncu Rico

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I'd sell Ayew for Ings. He can score in any fixture.

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Ings just seems too obvious a choice. Saints' fixtures look quite bad too.

    If you had to play Doherty MCI(H) or Söy LIV(A) but no other issues, would you WC now or next week?

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

      I would never WC for 1 player.

    2. Rebeltactics
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The Man City game will be open. Doherty might get some attacking points

  17. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Moura ( Brighton (H), Norwich (A), Southampton (A))

    Or

    Grealish ( Norwich (H) Watford (A), Burnley (A))

    Whom should I get.....?? I think Tottenham might score big...
    Really damn confused...

    1. FPL FREAK
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone...??

      Post rest of team please.

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Gazzaniga. Martin.
        Kelly. Lundstram. Rico. Fernández. Reid.
        Mane. Son. Alli. KDB. Hayden.
        Vardy. Abraham. Rashford.

        1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Grealish. One Spurs mid is enough.

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

      Grealish

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

      is this move for the next 3 or you just highlighting next few fixtures.
      Grealish is nailed and cheaper but if you're backing spurs to score a few then go Moura

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

      Grealish

  18. Egg noodle

    Best 2 Everton attacking prospects?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison and ....? (not sure)

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rich and Siggy

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Siggy looking rather poor recently

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't know Everton can attack

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

      I wouldn’t bother. Lots more options than Everton

  19. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son isn’t dropping tonight, right?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yea, won't drop

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

      Looking likely

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

      He will

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

      He could do, actually.

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

      Dropping

    6. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably will

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

    Evening folks.

    Ryan
    TAA / Aurier / Lundstram
    Son** / KDB / Alli / Pulisic / Grealish
    Vardy / Abraham

    Button // Connolly / Pereira / Rico**

    Son out the priority:
    A) Salah
    B) Mané
    C) Sterling
    D) Other?

    Pereira on the bench correct?

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

      A

  21. jdp219

    4 years, 3 months ago

    What are the plans, fellow Jimenez owners?

    Returns in 9 of past 11. City at home this week, and yet his best gameweek was against City. But then has Liverpool right after that.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Season keeper will always be a differential.
      Play vs city
      Bench vs liverpool

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

      Might lose him this week and shift to 2 at the front.

    3. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Would have transferred him out this week until the son red. Can cope with keeping him though

  22. DontPiqueTooSoon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Help here guys r.e. Son replacement, my gut feeling is to keep things simple and swap to Alli. I had originally planned to move on Chilwell or Tomori.
    0.3 in the bank.

    Ryan (Button)
    Lundstram, Kelly, Tomori (Chilwell, Rico)
    KDB, Mane, Son*, Grealish (Zaha)
    Vardy, Rashford, Abraham

    A) Stick to gut & move out Son to Alli (3 good fixtures of Xmas)
    B) -4, Son + Abraham -> Salah + Greenwood (save funds for defensive upgrades later)
    C) Son to Cantwell (save funds for FT)

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      A

  23. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son is out bit who's in

    A Ali
    B Kdb

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

      B

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

      B

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

      I am in similar situation. KDB over Alli

  24. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1) Fleck (WAT)
    2) Kelly (WHU)
    3) Robertson (Lei)

    How would you bench order this? Already playing TAA

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

      123

  25. hogree

    Landed on this Wildcard. Anything looking shaky?

    0.3 ITB.

    Ramsdale - McGovern
    Aurier - Kelly - Lundstram - Soyuncu - Rico
    KDB - Sterling - Alli - Mane - Grealish
    Ings - Vardy - Greenwood

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier to Evans
      Rest ok

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not a fan from Aurier, Maddison instead of Sterling to get Tammy? Good team either way...

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Start?

    Soyuncu
    Hanley

    Thanks!

    1. Peter Ouch

        Thanks mate

  27. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    When is Janmaat expected to return? Watford seem to have fixed up their defence and Kiko at 4.2 is very attacking, could be a nice enabler with those fixtures?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, it was onky man utd

  28. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    another WC attempt ... like it? probably 442 most of the time

    Foster (4.0)
    Pereira Digne Lund Kelly Rico
    Salah Mane KDB Maddison Cantwell
    Vardy Abraham Greenwood

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure if Pereira worths his money
      Evans maybe and upgrade your Greenwood

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        k cheers

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

      Don't like 442 as a formation but the team looks okay. Money ITB?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        zero ITB

  29. Don Van Vliet

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Fuming after losing a 21-point advantage going in to Sunday's games and being dumped out of the cup by some dead team with 3 playing Liverpool assets. Their captaincy on Mane meant Vardy's vice captain points coming in, alongside 11 for Alonso.

    My Rashford (c) decision didn't help, nor did Son's red card, but still...

  30. _Ninja_

    2m ITB with 1FT
    Who to bench out if Ings and Maddison this week?

    Pope
    TAA - Soy - Lund - Kelly - Rico
    Mane - Alli - Maddison - KDB - Grealish
    Vardy - Tammy - Ings
