Everton’s budget FPL assets underline appeal but tricky fixtures lie in wait

West Ham United 1-1 Everton

  • Goals: Issa Diop (£4.4m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m)
  • Assists: Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) | Mason Holgate (£4.5m)
  • Bonus: Holgate x3, Calvert-Lewin x2, Mark Noble (£5.0m) x1

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) rewarded his growing army of Fantasy fans with another goal in an evenly-matched encounter at the London Stadium.

The Everton striker has seen his ownership rise from 62,000 to over half a million since Gameweek 16, and he responded with his sixth strike of that run.

Chances to cash in on his form and budget price are receding, however.

The Toffees’ short-term schedule is solid enough (NEW, wat, CRY) but turns ugly after that, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester and Spurs to play over seven brutal Gameweeks.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side fell behind when Issa Diop (£4.4m) glanced home a Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) free-kick. It was only the defender’s second-ever league goal for the Hammers, while the Scot’s delivery confirmed he is a man in form, with a goal and two assists from his last three starts.

The lead lasted just four minutes, Calvert-Lewin athletically heading in from Mason Holgate’s (£4.5m) flick-on, and chances then came and went for both sides.

Hammers striker Sebastien Haller (£7.0m) had the best opportunity for the home side, only to shoot straight at Jordan Pickford (£5.3m) from close range, while Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies (£5.3m) threatened, but couldn’t convert, at the other end.

Maximum bonus points went to Holgate, who has now produced returns in four of his last six starts. His price, and 1.8% ownership, mark him out as a budget differential, but that horrible upcoming fixture list is likely to put off all but the bravest of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

West Ham’s assets are equally vexing, despite Gameweek 24’s double helping of matches.

Those two games are away at Leicester and home to Liverpool, and while a Gameweek 25 visit from Brighton looks appealing, the fixtures that follow are anything but: mci, liv, SOU, ars, WOL, tot, CHE.

David Moyes has brought some much-needed stability to a talented, if flaky, set of players, but one win, a draw and a defeat from his three-match tenure is hardly the classic ‘form over fixtures’ justification for investment in their assets.

Snodgrass could be the exception, having registered an attacking return in each of his last three starts.

At least rotation might not be an issue, if Moyes’ post-match comments are to be believed:

We’re a bit short on the bench at the moment, we’ve just not got loads of changes we can make just now, but I’d rather have people here who we know and who we know are going to be reliable, rather than trying people who we don’t exactly know what we’re going to get from them.

Even so, the Fantasy jury will probably remain out on West Ham’s stars, as it should do for assets from both sides until their respective fixtures ease towards the end of the season.

As for those managers already invested in the 11%-owned Richarlison (£8.1m), a return to action in the midweek match at home to Newcastle looks on the cards.

The Brazilian missed Saturday’s encounter, with Ancelotti relatively optimistic that the issue is a minor one:

His problem is on his knee, he had a little twist, but nothing special. I hope he will be available on Tuesday.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Randolph; Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Noble; Snodgrass, Fornals (Masuaku 60′), Lanzini (Ajeti 84′); Haller.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Coleman, Mina, Holgate, Digne; Walcott (Sidibe 57′), Davies, Delph, Bernard (Gordon 46′); Calvert-Lewin, Kean (Niasse 74′).

Newcastle United 1-0 Chelsea

  • Goals: Isaac Hayden (£4.3m)
  • Assists: Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m)
  • Bonus: Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) x3 Reece James (£5.0m) x2 Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) x1

Newcastle’s last-gasp win over Chelsea wasn’t exactly daylight robbery, but only due to the fact that the match had an early evening kick-off.

The winning goal from Isaac Hayden (£4.3m) came in the darkest depths of the 94th minute following the Magpies’ one and only corner as Frank Lampard’s side dominated possession (69.7%) and attempts (19 v 7) but failed to turn any of that into goals.

The Blues also failed to trouble home keeper Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) unduly, with just three of those 19 shots forcing him into a save.

Chief culprit was Chelsea’s most popular FPL player Tammy Abraham (£7.9m).

The 34.5%-owned striker saw the whites of Dubravka’s eyes on a couple of occasions, being unable to finish when rounding the Magpies’ shot-stopper and then seeing an apologetic effort hooked clear from inside the six-yard box as it slowly bobbled goalwards.

Lampard was at pains to deflect blame away from his profligate striker, though, saying:

We can’t absolutely rely on Tammy Abraham. We have to have goals from across the front line if we want to bridge the gap upwards. Tammy has been fantastic this season – it didn’t quite come off for him today, but that’s football.

At the other end, the goal machine (of the past few days at least), Joelinton (£5.5m), hit the bar with a header, but Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) had precious little else to do until he failed to keep out Hayden’s decisive header from Allan Saint-Maximin‘s (£5.4m) pinpoint cross.

The victory came at yet more cost, injury-wise, for Steve Bruce’s side, however.

Their latest victim was Jetro Willems (£4.6m), who had to be stretchered off with a knee problem after just 11 minutes.

The manager was less than optimistic about the defender post-match:

It looks a horrendous injury for Jetro, which is a big blow to us. We fear it’s his cruciate. We’re due a bit of luck. I’ve never known anything quite like it over the last few weeks, so we’re due.

Willems was replaced by Matt Ritchie (£5.3m), who is only just back from a long-term knee injury himself, while four defenders – and five other squad members – are now out for the foreseeable future.

Newcastle remain a tricky team to exploit, Fantasy-wise.

The six clean sheets they’ve kept puts them joint-seventh, but only five teams have conceded more than the 34 goals they’ve shipped and the 22 they’ve scored is only two more than the league’s most toothless sides, Bournemouth and Watford.

Dubravka, with 89 points, is easily the team’s most productive player, and his 91 saves is a league-leading figure.

Other than that, too many players are scoring too few points too inconsistently to promote investment, which is a shame when Newcastle have an excellent schedule all the way through to Gameweek 34.

As for Chelsea, Lampard’s reliance on youth is, perhaps, starting to bite him.

They’ve experienced two defeats in their last three home matches and have had a curious stretch of away games in which they’ve won at Arsenal and Spurs, but only drawn at Brighton and now lost to Newcastle.

Their immediate schedule involves three home matches in the next four games, but those will be against Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs, with their one road trip taking them to Leicester.

That is unlikely to inspire purchases of their key players, at least until Gameweek 28, when their fixtures improve immeasurably for the rest of the season.

Newcastle United XI (5-4-1): Dubravka; Krafth (S Longstaff 71′), Fernandez, Lascelles, Clark, Willems (Ritchie 12′); Almiron, Hayden, Shelvey (M Longstaff 84′), Saint-Maximin; Joelinton.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa; James (Emerson 75′), Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta; Kante, Jorginho; Hudson-Odoi, Mount (Barkley 67′), Willian; Abraham (Batshuayi 80′).

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years

      Don't get Matip rn. Gomez should start but i'm sure theres rotation ahead between the two of them which has put me off getting Joe.

      1. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting! 🙂 ... Guessing that matip ll play the cup nd gomez ll play the league this week!

    3. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Matip would be a risk

  6. Nabs Kebabs

    What are your plans AFTER the DGW?

    I’m struggling to find players/teams I want to invest in to help move up the ranks.

    Spurs and Man United seem that they will struggle without Kane/Rashford. Chelsea struggling and now have tough fixtures.

    Arsenal with good fixtures coming up but still a work in progress. I was excited with Man City and doubled up in midfield but after another draw in the PL and Champions League football coming up, are they even concentrated on the PL anymore?

    Thoughts?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Im stuggling with this too. As im going double pool defence i have waaaay too much cash left over. Newcastle Southampton and Palace have good fixture runs but besides Ings and maybe Tosun theres no explosive options. I think ill jump on the Augero train after this GW and hope they smash West ham and Spurs

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

        Aguero is obviously still a great shout but we missed his 2 hauls and with CL football coming up there will be more rotation. Laporte coming back may rejuvenate City a bit but the PL may be lost by then

        1. JT11fc
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Ye maybe i should just switch to double pool attack to use up my funds haha

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

            Tough choice. I’m a big fan of the Robbo/TAA double up but as you and Tempestic said below- there’s not too many solid premium options besides Salah/Mané and KBD

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

      This is the reason I've actually decided to go double pool attack. The double defence I do think has better value but I was looking around for other teams with good fixtures for attackers and they don't compare at all. Its a difficult one certainly. Just take a look at the season ticker, City, Ars, United, Spurs, Chelsea all in the bottom half over the next 6.

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

        Same thoughts. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to double or even triple up on city attack (especially with Pool keeping cleanies) but im concerned with city’s motivation at this point. They take 2 steps forward, one step back, consistently

    3. mrtapio

      Got exact same team except for Williams and Ings over Soy and DCL + 0.8m itb

    Was looking for a third Liverpool, been going back and forth between robbo and salah all week. Wanted to do it before price changes tonight tho.
    0.7ITB 2FTs
    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Digne Soy (Lund Rico*)
    Mane KDB Alli Martial (Traore)
    Vardy Abraham* DCL

    Was looking at Abraham > Greenwood and Robbo/Salah in for Rico/Alli respectively.
    I was leaning towards Mo but then I realised if I did those moves I'd have to be starting Soy (CHE), Traore (MUN) or Greenwood (not nailed vs WOL) next gw and with almost no funds in the bank with no flexibility on players to sell. I realised i'd be stuck with only 6 good attacking options and traore vs tough teams in this formation unless I dropped Rico > Tangaga (probable bench fodder) and got in Grealish for Traore right now before price changes tonight, hence I've just taken a -8 and done Abraham, Alli, Traore, Rico > Greenwood, Salah, Grealish, Tangaga.

    Leaves me with:
    0.0ITB
    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Digne Soy (Lund, Tanganga)
    Salah Mane KDB Martial Grealish
    Vardy DCL (Greenwood)

    I love the look of that team going forward but i'm still regretting the -8, even I doubt it will pay off.. If anyones bothered to read this, thoughts?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      mmm getting Greenwood and Tangana. not so sure

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

        It was just the only way I was going to be able to not have to play 4 at the back going forward AND have Salah. Probably not going to be good for my OR but hey, I had fun so theres that.

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have a feeling Greenwood will start v. Burnley.

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

        Yeh i'm almost tempted to start him over Grealish. More decisions..

        1. Werkself
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I just brought him in and plan to start him over Hayden. Did something similar to you and took a -8. Feeling quite good about actually.

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

            Yeh i'd definitely start him ahead of hayden this week, good luck!

    considering soy to williams for a hit...think soy is dead as a pick

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

      Ndidi back in a couple gw's, i'm gonna keep with the value tied up in him I think. U may be right tho

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        keeping him for WHAM

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        yeah bought at 4.5 main thing holding me back

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          got at 4.7

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      probably give him one last chance

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        don't want him to fall in value

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          looks almost certain tomorrow

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      keep

  11. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which a good spurs assets for next three? surely can get something from Villa and norwich?

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

      Son probably. I was very tempted by him, could be a nice differential for those 2 games.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        too expensive for my liking

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          bit think the only realiable one

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

            If Alli finds some form again maybe but spurs in general look pretty shambles rn. Alli on pens too?

            1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              surely not gonna stay for long time right? This kond of fixture too good to be ignored

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

          yep far too expensive in a non flattering spurs side, even if he only walked away with one goal, not worth it, a player that price is only good when in form and delivering consistently

              haha, wouldn't blame ya mate, i was ready for giving up earlier today. Had a nice birthday though otherwise, and will likely continue with this joke of a season 🙂

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            im.looking out replacement for silva and willian actually. So beside grealish cant think more suitable candidate

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

              Son has done me well as a differential this season, got him in twice ahead of the curve and both times have payed off. Although last time he eventually became a bandwagon and got sent off which wasn't so ideal.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      spurs players are terrible value

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years

        can be nice punt for ranking. not very bad i think

      Team looks good. Should do well

        Thanks

    2. Kitsune
      • 5 Years

      Who will you captain? Mane?

      1. JT11fc
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking Trent actually

        1. Kitsune
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Crossed my mind too

    I think Haller might have something to say this GW. Terrible fixtures, and not for me, but he's played pretty well last two matches. He reminds me of Sessegnon in 2013. Bad fixtures, but came through on a DGW for those that captained.

    Any update on Sarr?

  15. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Leno
    Sidibé, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold
    Cantwell, De Bruyne, Salah, Maddison
    Vardy, Ings, Deeney

    Button, Kelly, Lundstram, Traoré

    Went Zaha to Salah with my 1 FT. Anything else for a hit?

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

      No hit

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looking good

    3. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good

    4. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I wish my rank matched how I felt about the team.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        indeed. not making much headway and benching the wrong players!

  16. Chelsea91
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ryan
    Taa,William,Robbo
    Mane,Kdb,Martial,Mahrez
    Deeney,Ings,Vardy

    Button Cantwell,Sidibe,Lund

    Good to go GW 24 guys ? Have 1FT , 0.1 itb

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martial would be one to go if you use the transfer. United looked poor without Rashford

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        martial will take the penalty after this , more advantage on that mate

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good. Id play Sidibie over Williams although there is the risk of Sidibie benching again

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        William play attacking against liverpool and sidibe is rotation risk . Maybe i will put Sidibe first on the bench.

  17. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bench order

    A) Traore (LIV)
    B) Kelly (SOU)

    Tc
    1) Mane
    2) Salah
    3) Taa
    4) Hold wc

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have Ings playing against Kelly even though it should not matter

    2. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah if you want to be boring, TAA if you want to be exciting

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What is Mane as an option? I would say he is even more boring due to higher ownership but agree. I have not used TC this early for a long time and for some reason would like to hold.

        1. noahzark22
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          slightly less boring than Salah. I'm tempted by using on TAA as well. Almost all my reaches and differentials have missed so far this year, so i'm clearly going to try again with TAA

          1. BobbyDoesNotLook
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Taa is a decent pick for sure and especially now after 6 straight cleanies.

  18. Slacker
    • 11 Years

    Any ideas on Rashford replacements?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      go cheap to dcl or ayew

      1. noahzark22
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Palace have looked awful, DCL of those two. But yes, cheap replacement for the moment.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Palace are undefeated in 5 including draws and City and Arsenal. Ayew is a nailed 5.0m striker with brilliant long term fixtures. Fantastic option. DCL better short term but Evertons good fixtures don't last.

      2. Slacker
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        DCL seems attractive

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

      All the ones on the watchlist + Greenwood.

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking to get Aguero or Ings.
        Will Aguero start midweek game?
        Thoughts

        1. Slacker
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He might not, but he's still going to top the scoring charts if you'd ask me.

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Got Martinelli in

  19. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    got rid of one of my template players Kelly. Kept Rico but he will likely go next week

    1. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, time to clean house of those obsoletes

    2. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Soy is another one

  20. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What ye think of this lot?
    Anything worth a hit with .3 ITB?

    McCarthy

    TAA Targett Söyüncü

    Salah (VC) Mane(C) KDB Son

    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    McGovern Kelly Lundstram Traore

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks ok for this GW, long term Soy and Traore could go

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah you are probably right but I might hold Soy as soon the fixtures are really good again.
        Traore nearly went for Martial early, but I went Maddison to Son instead.

  21. Moose™

    Best def to get at max 4.6?

    Lascelles?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Holgate

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Fixtures about to turn imo. Lots of reds coming up. Lascelles fixtures is better?

  22. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino TC lets go

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

      U have some serious balls of steel huh. I wouldnt even be brave enough to captain him. In fact scratch that, I didnt even get him in! Could be great tho, fantastic away form and looked on fire today although not so much for fpl.

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. His touches, close control, and link-up play really pleased on the eyes

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It could be last chance for me to save season.

  23. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Just got rid of Jimenez. Yikes

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I had 2 FT so took out Kelly and Jimenez and transferred in DCL and Digne for a short term punt while Jimenez's fixtures are not the best and Everton's are solid and I also think Kelly might be dropped soon

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Also just caught DCL's and Digne's price rises so may make some value out of them

    2. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Funny. After next gw, I will probably take a hit to get him back in.

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Me too. Bought Firmino instead. I will buy Jimenez instead Vardy in 2 GWs.

  24. Kepa's at the wheel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considering Tosun as differential?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yup for Maupay if he doesnt hurry up and score

      1. Kepa's at the wheel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Have the fixtures. Seriously consider now

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

      Good shout. Fixtures don't look bad.

  25. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anything to do here (2ft, 0.3itb)

    Ryan (Button)
    Taa Aurier Stephens
    Salah Mane Kdb Martial
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    B: Traore, Kelly, Lund

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks fine

  26. Kitsune
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Somehow highest rank in ages (25k), enjoying it while it lasts...

    Which two to play?
    A. Maupay - a bit underwhelming but plays Bournemouth
    B. Ings - off the boil?
    C. Mahrez - rotation but does well when plays

    Rest of team:
    McCarthy
    TAA VVD Holgate
    Mane (c) Son KDB Snodgrass _______
    Vardy ________

    Cheers

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A and C just because Mahrez has had his rest and Ings could be due his rest

      1. Kitsune
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, yeah and if Maupay doesn't score against Bournemouth he can leave

  27. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who's the best midfielder priced at or below 7.5?

    A) Dilva
    B) Traore
    C) Doucoure
    D) Grealish
    E) Zaha
    F) Perez
    G) Mount

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      D.

    2. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      D easily

  28. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    There should be other great options for TC in dgws later in the season the only problem is we have no details yet correct?
    Seems like a lot are going TC but I am thinking of holding as I will need a late season charge?

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Saw TM said in previous pages that City might have a triple GW.. Worth to consider..

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        🙂 - triples are always a rumour that never actually happen. But you never know.

      2. Reiger
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        City triple GW? The ultimate rotation nightmare.

    2. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Really? Can’t rightly imagine a much better TC scenario than Pool with those two fixtures. The time is now

      1. Reiger
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        And two fixtures a week apart

    3. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My concern is that the two best teams, Liverpool and Man City may be rotating by then. Liverpool because it has the league wrapped up and Man City because it is concentrating on the Champions League. Not sure, debating TC myself.

      1. Kitsune
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Doesn't Liverpool have the league wrapped up already? No danger of rotation now?

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah rotation later is a big factor and like it was said above there is week between games - don’t get much better. I am coming round to it just would like more info but that not possible right now.

  29. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…

    Which are the other double Gw for Triple captaincy option other than Gw 24.
    Any body got the spreadsheet of possible combinations.
    Pls share. Thanks

      Even Ederson wont be sure to start all 3.

    2. Niho992

      And City has no chance to beat Real Madrid anyway.
