Spurs still lacking attacking edge despite win over Norwich

Spurs 2-1 Norwich

  • Goals: Dele Alli (£8.5m), Son Heung-min (£9.9m) | Teemu Pukki (£6.5m)
  • Assists: Serge Aurier (£5.0m), Alli | Max Aarons (£4.3m)
  • Bonus Points: Alli x3, Pukki x2, Aurier x1

Norwich City’s defence continues to help boost the Fantasy Premier League prospects of their opponents this season.

Spurs came into Double Gameweek 24 with just one win in their previous six league matches but emerged 2-1 victors while forgotten about assets such as Son Heung-min (£9.9m) and Dele Alli (£8.5m) delivered for their remaining owners.

Ironically, neither player had a particularly impressive game, and Norwich actually held Spurs at bay for much of the evening, but, with key centre-back Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) suspended, the points came nonetheless, as they usually do against the Canaries.

Daniel Farke’s men continue to be the most scored-on team this season (47 goals conceded), which bodes well for Newcastle, Liverpool, Wolves and Leicester assets as they face them in the next four Gameweeks.

Furthermore, the longer Norwich stay rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, the more they may have to push forward in their remaining matches, thus exposing their already soft centre.

“We know it will be a big sensation – maybe a miracle – that we stay in this league.” – Daniel Farke

Whether this result should put Spurs players back on the FPL radar does remain to be seen. After all, no other team has conceded as often as their most recent opponents, and it’s Manchester City up next for Jose Mourinho’s men and a trip to Chelsea in Gameweek 27.

As already mentioned, Spurs were not exactly at their best on Wednesday night. Alli started the game slowly but managed to get in the right place at the right time for his goal, and it was a deflection that saw his second-half shot find the head of Son, practically on the line. They were Alli’s first attacking returns since the Gameweek 19 win over Brighton.

Playing on the left side of an attacking midfield trio, Son spurned some decent chances in the first half and, according to the local press, is still some way off his usual “vintage self”. As already mentioned, his second-half had an element of fortune about it, the ball deflected onto his head inside the six-yard box.

Meanwhile, Moura also received some criticism from the local press in his role as a centre-forward. While he contributed plenty of runs to the team, the Brazilian did not offer much more.

Spurs are clearly missing the injured Harry Kane (£10.8m) with neither Moura or Son in a position to occupy the vacant centre-forward position with much gusto right now.

However, the hope for Spurs’ attacking potential may lie in the performances of Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m), who continues to improve with each outing.

The Argentinian was Spurs’ best player by some considerable margin against Norwich, the creative hub in midfield and also winning the ball back on plenty of occasions.

While Lo Celso did not contribute any attacking returns on Wednesday evening, it was he who played the ball into Alli so he may start contributing FPL points soon.

“Giovani is improving game-after-game. Today he was fantastic in everything. I think he is adapting very well to the league, he can play in various positions, he gives us lots of quality, vision, passing, he is improving his offensive game, he is improving his intensity. The only thing that worries me is the new life of English football of playing and playing and playing and in this case he is now playing all the time now because we don’t have different solutions. Even today when Lamela was out, no wingers so Giovani to the wing. It’s hard but I think it’s good experience for all of us, a good experience for the family.” – Jose Mourinho

Another decent performer on Wednesday was right-back Serge Aurier (£5.0m) as he put in an assured defensive performance to keep Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) at bay and played an excellent cross in for Alli’s goal.

Meanwhile, Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) struggled on the other side of defence as Spurs’ left-back issues continue. The former Fulham man was pegged back by the exploits of Max Aarons (£4.3m), negating the threat on that side of the field. Sessegnon eventually brought down Norwich’s marauding right-back to give away a penalty in the second half.

Pukki celebrates a goal for Norwich

Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) slotted the spot-kick away cooly in the 70th minute to ensure Spurs’ defensive problems continue under Mourinho. Since the former Manchester United boss arrived in north London, they have conceded 1.3 goals per game while only Bournemouth, Brighton and Wolves have recorded fewer than their total of two clean sheets in that time.

With that in mind, interest in recently added budget defender Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) may subside somewhat. The 20-year-old started both Gameweeks 22 and 23 and was also the man of the match in the FA Cup third-round replay win over Middlesbrough.

However, he was only an unused substitute against Norwich, Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m) paired with Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) at centre-back, although the latter appears still a bit rusty.

Another budget asset that has probably been knocked firmly off then radar is goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m) after a surprise early return for Hugo Lloris (£5.3m).

The Frenchman was originally expected back at some point in February after fracturing his elbow in Gameweek 8 but played 90 minutes against Norwich.

Admittedly, he didn’t have a great deal to do, managing to get a palm to Pukki’s penalty in the second half.

While Gazzaniga looks to be an inactive player from here on in, it was a cause of some joy for select Fantasy managers with Dean Henderson (£5.0m) and Nick Pope (£4.6m) to emerge from some people’s benches with 11-point and 10-point hauls respectively.

“The return of Hugo is mixed emotions for me. It’s happiness to see one of the best goalkeepers in the world to be back. It’s a very good feeling for us but at the same time it is one of these decisions that sometimes we must have it, but it hurts. To leave Paulo out hurts. The good thing is that he is such a good member of the family and he is such a special friend of Hugo that I think he also shared our happiness to have Hugo back as a friend. For me, he gave me a lot of thinking and I had to try to be cold to make a decision without emotions because to leave Paolo out is not easy.” – Jose Mourinho

Finally, Harry Winks (£5.2m) was taken off injured in the 55th minute with an ankle problem but Mourinho was unable to provide any update in his post-match press conference.

“I prefer not to know before I come in here so I come with a normal face. I don’t want to come in here with a very upset face, so I’m even afraid to ask, but when I leave here I have to ask.” – Jose Mourinho

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Sessegnon, Vertonghen (Fernandes 75′), Alderweireld, Aurier; Winks (Dier 56′), Lo Celso; Son, Alli, Lamela (Eriksen 62′); Moura.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Byram, Hanley, Zimmermann, Aarons; McLean (Stiepermann 90+3′), Tettey (O Hernández 82′); Cantwell, Duda, Rupp (Drmic 86′); Pukki.

    I'm currently top of my ML and there's only 27 points separating the top 5. I have Salah (TC) and no Mane. All the rest have captained Mane.

    Literally make or break time for me tonight.

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

      Sounds like they want you to win!

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

      It’s make or break for all of us

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, there's still next week if both blank.

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

    All this “hope Vardy is ok for next GW” talk is boring. Just wait 9 days and we’ll know.

    Maybe whats more alarming is people seem to want to keep him, he has been an FPL disaster for months!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Been a disaster for the best part of a decade!

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

      I'm keeping unless he's confirmed out for 2 weeks or more.

    3. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, 150 points is disastrous...
      He's blanked twice in the last 13 GWs he's started, one due to coming off injured. He's the top scoring forward by some distance.

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

        Let's not let facts get in the way of a good diss. 😉

  3. The 12th Man

    Anyone else not using their TC chip this week?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Me

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      o/

    3. Big Ping
      • 6 Years

      My rival used his Free Hit..I think this reflects badly on me

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Lol same here, its not going well for him, which is nice

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

    Salah TC could easily yield 120+ points. Two hattricks. It is speculative but surely not far fetched.

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

      Seriously? Be lucky to get 12 points. Setting yourself up for a big disappointment here.

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

        This was meant to be an ironic reply to the guy on the previous page who said the same thing except about TAA getting 90+ points.

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

      I'm just hoping for double figures after my Leroy Sane experience last year.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not a hope in hell.

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’d take a goal right now i think.

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Get off the weed bro. Id take a goal after last seasons misery

    6. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      About a 70% chance I reckon.

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

        Agreed:

        70% 120+
        25% 100 - 120
        5%

    7. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not a lot of people have caught on the fact that you are making fun of the TAA post on the previous page 😀

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

        We aren’t the brightest bunch 😉

    8. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      1% optimism, 99% sarcasm.

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

        Unfortunately the ratio is a lot more skewed towards optimism

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Haha 😀 Same here. After having 16 points from 8 so far I too am day dreaming about a TC Salah 100+ points... Optimism is at around 20%

    9. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I see what you are doing mate.

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

        I genuinely meant to reply to yours not create a separate post.

        And I have exactly the same hope / optimism for Salah as you do for TAA. I own both so Salah: 120, TAA: 90, Mane: -2 would be an ideal outcome!

    10. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It is maybe the probability that was not right. Look at it this way: 1. Liverpool have not conceded in 7 games.
      2. TAA has from history shown that he can score a trio of assists in back to back games.
      3. Defenders playing for strong defences prior to a DGW have hauled i both matches. An example is Ekotto for Spurs under Harry Red.
      .
      It is speculative but surely not far fetched.

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

        I actually agree - I do think TAA is the best pick, I wasn’t brave enough to go for him though.

        Good luck!

    11. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I predict anything between 12 to 18 pts each for mane & salah over the two games. Anything less will be disappointing & anything higher is a bonus.

  5. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Honestly can see Vardy punishing his sellers.

    People think the current top scorer will keep on blanking . Every player goes through rough patches and Vardy is expected to miss only 1 match

    His fixtures are excellent for next 8 matches especially against relegation fodders
    (wol MCI nor AVL wat BHA eve CPL)

    1. Rt505
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve sold for 3 games. Will get him back after the Man City game. Wolves away will be difficult too

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

        He can score against Wolves. They are decent but not unbreakable

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed. If he's fit I'll defo keep

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I got rid of vardy for Aub. Aub has had a nice rest and his fixtures are better, also Arsenal historically finish the season well.

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

      I think he wont score more than my replacement, thats why getting rid. If it doesn't work, there is always hits or WC to get back.

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

        Who's your replacement then?

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

          Ings and Jimenez

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

            Ings is okay but not sure about Jimenez.

            Wolves got tough fixtures and europa league is back could be an extra burden for team freshness

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

              Not sure what fixtures you are looking at, they are much better than LEI at least. But its ok, I can understand that. Our minds start making excuses to justify the decision we have already made 😀

          2. AzzaroMax99
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I plan to get Jimmy too as Vardy's replacement.
            Wolves can beat anyone.

    4. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He may not miss any matches. He doesn’t play in the premier league until Feb 1.

  6. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If Salah, Mane and TAA are all ill doing Veganuary and don’t play either game I’ll get Otamendis 9 points, lovely jubbly

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Otamendi was third on your bench against Sheffield United?

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I didnt sort my bench order out but he was never going to be first. Not sure how I still have him, he loves to come on for a min. I might have put him second ahead of Lund.

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I have Stephens as 3rd so it would be ok for me as well xD

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why have I no confidence that Salah will do anything tonight?

    BTW I put TC on him.

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

      Reverse psychology.

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

      Based on this game week - if he scores 3 points tonight he will be my second highest scorer for the GW so I will certainly be calling it a ‘haul’

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think the west ham game is the one for the big points. One goal or even an assist and I'll take it tonight.

  8. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A Jimenez goal tonight would be an absolute dream (TAA owner, non captainer)

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why is their cave paintings around the world from thousands of years ago of dragons? Yet we still haven't found any fossils? Where you hiding at?

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

        Mark knows ..... I’ve said too much

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Any wolves goal. To wipe them TAA TC’s clean, and the double defence

    3. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, with a traore assit

  9. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So we're all expecting goals from Henderson, Origi and Ox right?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      And Firmino brace.

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’ll take that as he’s my TC... 😉

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Origi does tend to score when he starts, so I'm expecting one.

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My mini league leader (I'm second, trailing him by 70) used his WC this week and it's a copy/paste of my team.
    I activated WC now and I need to stir things up to somehow get ahead of him.
    He has Salah and Mané like me but now I'm thinking of a WC team with double Pool defence.
    Would you sacrifice:

    A. Salah
    B. Mané

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

      Not sure that’s the best strategy - you can chip away at the lead with captain choice and then use your wildcard to prep for the DGW’s and smash him then.

      Incredibly bad form of him wildcarding to your exact team though - hope he has been told that

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Save WC and get him over blank/DGW season

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly this.

  11. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My son home from college with stories about Mane being benched tonight...what’s the rumours?

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

      Clickbait article saying Min and Fab start with Mane benched when 3 of the 4 pundits have predicted Mane starting 🙄

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It wasn't even predicted line-ups as well, it was just the line-ups they would choose if they were manager 😆

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Ah right. That sounds about right.

          Having said that....I’m sure Klopp didn’t buy Mini just to decorate the changing rooms...at some point he will play him in the league.

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

            minamino is only bought to boost marketing in japan

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mane has a 50% chance of being benched tonight.

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

        53.79% I would say

        1. Dee Lixon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Reccuring of course

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            God damnit, Leroy

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

      Hahaha that's my reply

    4. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      WhoScored reported him as being out but the only evidence seemed to be footage of him appearing to limp - didn’t look that bid tbh and even if he doesn’t start - imagine the damage he could do against tired legs

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So as a Mane Trent and Salah triple captainer we want Mane and Trent to be complete rubbish. Is that the way it is?

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

      Oh yes - despite owning all 3 it’s literally all on salah - weird

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty much.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It would be the best that all three bring some points. Mane and Trent an assist and Salah 1 goal at least 😀
      Evertything bigger then 3 pts from Salah would be great. :/

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

      I have TAA, Mane, Salah(TC) and Jimenez. Jimenez and Salah to haul, hope Mane and TAA blanks.

    5. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why Complete rubbish? Just Salah needs to score more than both.

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

    Minamino hat-trick incoming.

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sounds good?

    Schmeichel (Button)
    TAA Williams Lundy (Rico Kelly)
    Salah Mane KDB Martial (Dendo)
    Vardy Deeney DCL

    GW25 - Vardy, Martial & Schmeichel to Aguero, Fleck & Hendo for -4
    GW26 - Kelly to Stephens for free

  15. The Train Driver

    Hope pool concedes to punish those triple pool defences + TC. I'm only double pool defence + TC.

        Not true. There's one on here who constantly bangs on about it.

      With double defence you don’t want to be wishing for conceding goals surely?

    Would you mix it up a bit to bring in Aguero/Auba(if staying)
    Or stick?

    Glad I didn't buy Mane and stuck with my trio of Salah TC,Robbo and VVD. 😀

      Disallowed after VAR review

    2. Holmes

      Yes

    3. Rainer

    Lads, I come to you with a mysterious problem. I like my team. I do. There aren't many things I'd change when I look at it.

    But points are not coming. I am obviously wrong. What would you suggest for this lot?

    Ryan / 4.0
    Chilwell, TAA, Gomez / Lundstram, Simpson
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish, Traoré
    Vardy, Abraham, Ings

  20. 1895Reds
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So it’s just one person in the liverpool echo “thinks that Mane deserves a rest” and people think Mane be benched as a result?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DGWs drive people mad.

      Barry at Swansea for Spurs' DGW a year or two back caused similar carnage.

    2. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I expect someone to be rested tonight, god knows who

      1. 1895Reds
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Wolves away is one of the toughest games of the season for Liverpool. With the FA Cup coming up on Sunday, I can’t see any of the front 3 being rested

      2. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree.
        Going to be a disappointment along the way for a lot of us on here.
        If not tonight, then almost certainly on Thursday...

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      You just know Salah will suddenly be the bench victim or more likely rumour for West ham. That would truly suck.

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

    If Vardy’s fit, what to do with FT?

    A) Kelly to max 4.4
    B) Sell Salah or Mane for kdb
    C) other move?

    Henderson
    TAA, Holgate, Rico
    Salah, Mane, Martial, Cantwell
    Aguero, Vardy, Ings

    Subs: Button, Traore, Kelly, Lundstram

    0 in the bank

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

      I think I'm selling anyway - but if Auba does look barca bound I'll leave him in. I'd hold and play Lundy obviously.

    What would TCers be happy with? Or is it mostly relative to the failure of other picks?

    Personally just getting any edge on rivals would leave me satisfied. 15 (x3) or more would be great.

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

      50 x 3

      I’d be okay with that

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Believe it or not....my three man mini league....My son has gone Mane(TC) me Salah (TC) and my brother has kept his (TC) in his pocket but brought in Firmino as oppose double mids.

      So...yes...the excitement will all be relative to my relatives...so to speak.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ha ha. My two sons (11 and 13) in my minileague dont know its a DGW. HAHAHAHA. SMASHING THE BASTARDS

          Your son's must be very proud of you.

        3. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Double edged sword for me. My lad is 19 and also in a cash mini league with his mates. I actually want him to do well and win his ML, so i’ll be cheering on both Mane and Salah(TC) picks....he’s currently second. My brother can do what he likes.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hoping for 20 but yeah I would be satisfied with 15.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      15 seems a nice base.

      Kun & Sanchez' 25 points seem a long shot but you never know...

      Not a Sane 1 hopefully!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        ...remember the Andy Carroll 1 when everybody left their TC too late...disaster...

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Worst thing is that the hard game comes first. I fully expect modest returns tonight - west ham would have left everyone feeling a bit calmer.

  23. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If VVD is out odds of 9/2 for a Wolves win look rather tempting.

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

      Sold Jimenez and Traore. Im going to get punished right?

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        If the rumour is true could be a problem.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Especially if it's the very serious man flu strain.

      3. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Hope so. I brought back in Jimenez this GW

    4. 1895Reds
      • 8 Years

      One persons opinion. Other people in the article said Mane will start.

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They didn't say he was benched - one of their hacks said if he was manager he would bench Mane - that was it! 😆

    4. Firminooooo

    Afternoon all! Looking for some thoughts on if you would WC this team?

    Ryan Button
    Kelly Soy TAA Lund Kiko
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish Doucoure
    Vardy Greenwood Ings

    A. Who are the weakness links for you?
    B. Who would you replace them with?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No need to wildcard. Just wait on Vardy news

  29. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    TAA TC has a chance of scoring 90+ points on his own.

    It is maybe the probability that was not right. Look at it this way: 1. Liverpool have not conceded in 7 games.
    2. TAA has from history shown that he can score a trio of assists in back to back games.
    3. Defenders playing for strong defences prior to a DGW have hauled i both matches. An example is Ekotto for Spurs under Harry Red.
    .
    It is speculative but surely not far fetched.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is that 90 points before the TC triples it?

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

      Aiming too low pal, anything short of a century and we riot.
