Mane injury latest as Firmino claims Double Gameweek advantage

Wolves 1-2 Liverpool

Goals: Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) | Jordan Henderson (£5.4m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m)

Assists: Adama Traoré (£5.7m) | Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m), Henderson

Bonus Points: J Henderson x3, Jiménez x2, Firmino x1

Liverpool’s trip to Wolves on Thursday, January 23, 2020, will almost certainly go down in Fantasy Premier League folklore for all the wrong reasons.

It was the night that Sadio Mané (£12.5m), backed by 270,144 for the Triple Captaincy, went off injured just 32 minutes into the first match of Double Gameweek 24.

No Fantasy asset was backed by more for the enhanced armband but that did not stop him from coming off with a potential hamstring problem and just one point to his name.

Naturally, Mané’s owners and captaincy backers will now be sweating on his fitness between now and next week’s trip to West Ham, which concludes the Double Gameweek.

The word from the Liverpool bench at half-time was that Mané notified the physios that he may have a “hamstring injury”. The indication is the issue is not too serious as he was able to walk off the pitch and get to the Liverpool changing room unaided. While his substitution was considered “precautionary” at first, Jurgen Klopp confirmed at full-time that his player had suffered a “muscle tweak” and suggested that he “probably” wouldn’t be available to prepare Liverpool’s next three games.

Thankfully, we may get further updates on Mané in the aftermath of Sunday’s FA Cup meeting with Shrewsbury as well as in the pre-match press conference ahead of next Wednesday’s trip to West Ham.

Even though his backers will be understandably upset by his curtailed outing at Molineux, there was, to some extent, a silver lining in the fact that Mohamed Salah (£12.4m), handed the Triple Captain chip by 220,121 Fantasy managers, also blanked and did not receive any clean sheet bonus.

In truth, the Egyptian really should have scored at Molineux wasting some chances and drawing excellent saves from Rui Patrício (£5.1m) at others. Arguably, Salah was also a bit selfish, taking on some shots when he should really have passed to a colleague.

As is often the case with Double Gameweeks, it was the unexpected man who finished the first match as top-scorer. Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) scored the opening goal and assisted the winner, bagged by Roberto Firmino (£9.5m), who extended his lead at the top of the goal charts for Liverpool players in away fixtures.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) got himself an assist to prove the highest-scoring Liverpool defender on the night as the clean sheet was lost and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) was booked.

However, it was Wolves that asked the first question of the evening as Adama Traoré (£5.7m) won the ball in the middle of the park and sprayed it out to Jonny (£5.4m).

The left-back pushed into some space vacated by Alexander-Arnold and Traoré joined him to double-up on Gomez. Jonny was then able to get beyond the centre-back and play a ball into the box, which was cut out by Henderson.

Less than a minute later, Wolves were awarded a free-kick on the left-hand side which Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) fizzed across the face of the goal, although, inexplicably nobody was able to get a touch on it. Had they done so, the ball surely would have ended up back in the net. In the end, it was a combination of Alexander-Arnold and Firmino who scrambled the ball clear.

Despite that spirited start from the hosts, they were 1-0 down in the eighth minute.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.2m) slid Firmino into some space in the centre, who moved it on to Salah. He was then taken down by Coady, resulting in a Liverpool free-kick.

The Egyptian and Alexander-Arnold stood over and, in spite of an ominous run-up, the latter saw his effort headed over by Conor Coady (£5.0m).

That wouldn’t stop the right-back notching his 14th attacking return of the season. He was able to pick out Henderson from the resulting corner, who nodded cooly beyond Patrício.

There were suggestions that the ball had brushed Mané’s head on the way through but the official finding was that it did not touch the winger.

He went close to an assist again in the 17th minute when he played a cross-field ball around the Wolves back-three to Salah, who had to drag back and inside onto his left foot to get a shot off, which was well blocked by Coady.

Oxlade-Chamberlain then played a lovely chipped through ball out to a free Mané out on the left, but he was quickly closed down by a recovering Dendoncker, who won the ball by kicking it against the Liverpool man’s arm.

It was at this point that Mané was taken off and replaced by recent new signing Takumi Minamino (£6.5m). Naturally, such a frustrating event for Liverpool saw the game lose a bit of pace and urgency for the next 10 minutes or so.

Wolves were the first to reinject some life into the game as Traoré dropped deep to create opportunities again, the first putting Doherty into space before Jiménez went through the middle and had a fierce effort blocked by van Dijk.

In first-half stoppage time, Salah went on a mazy run through the heart of the Wolves defence and managed to get enough space on his left to unleash a shot on goal, blocked by Matt Doherty (£6.1m).

Salah picked up where he left off in the second half, catching Traoré in possession and smashing a powerful left-footed shot across the Wolves goal, stopped only by a sprawling Patrício save.

Naturally, the start to the second period stretched the game which played right into the hands of Wolves and the pace of Traoré.

He began to find more space down the right-hand side of Wolves’ attack and, in textbook fashion, his 51st-minute inch-perfect cross into the box, found Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) in space, who leapt up to place a glancing header beyond Alisson (£6.1m).

Such a morale-boosting goal thoroughly put the wind into Traoré’s sails. For a relatively prolonged spell, Traoré began completely terrorising Liverpool down his side, with Robertson eventually having to bring him down on the edge of the box, picking up a yellow card in the process.

Traoré almost scored a bit later, finding space to blast across goal, forcing a vital save from Alisson.

Liverpool struggled to respond to this shift in the game, perhaps all too aware of the danger of being caught out on the counter-attack by Traoré. Even after the shackles were put back on Traoré to some extent, they were more reticent moving forward.

It took until the 60th minute for their next real chance, which fell to Minamino after a cross from Salah. His effort was blocked, the rebound falling to Firmino, who could only drive the ball low towards an already floored Patrício for a routine recovery by the goalkeeper.

Wolves kept up the pressure with Jiménez played in by Traoré in the 67th minute, shooting from a wide-angle and drawing a save from Alisson’s face.

However, Liverpool still managed to dig out a victory from this tough position.

Henderson played Salah in for another chance just short of the 70th minute and the Egyptian, as ever, worked himself into a position where he could smash it with his left foot. This effort ended just wide, the latest that will have left his Triple Captainers with their head in their hands.

As predicted as a possibility in the build-up to the Double Gameweek, it was away-day specialist Firmino who won the tie in the end.

He had two glorious chances in the closing stages, the first the Brazilian missed and the second buried.

He was played through one-on-one with the goalkeeper in the 81st minute and fired a low effort at goal, when he arguably should have gone for the chip – Patrício making a good stop with his legs.

But as stoppage time approached, Firmino found himself in space once again, played through by Henderson and rifled his latest effort into the top corner for all three points.

It may well be half-time in the Double Gameweek, but as things stand, those who went with either Firmino or Alexander-Arnold currently have the advantage in the Triple Captaincy debate.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho (Gibbs-White 87′), Doherty; Neto (D Jota 77′), Jiménez, Traoré.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Fabinho 70′); Mané (Minamino 32′), Firmino, Salah (Origi 85′).

    I am completely befuddled how Solskjaer still has the job. There is no excuse for failing to beat teams like Burnley, Newcastle, Villa etc.

      Ed Woodward is the problem. If LVG and Mourinho can't get United up to standard, surely it has to do with the one constant since Fergie left

        Board is completely inept in not backing managers like Mourinho in the transfer market, then, giving Ole the permanent role after a few games. He should've been a caretaker manager at best. 19 losses in 41 games is shocking for the manager of a club as big as Man United. Even David Moyes is a far better manager than Ole and he was treated disgracefully.

        1. GreennRed

          Even if Solskaer isn't a good manager, he's very inexperienced, did Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho not have better squads at United?

      I could bring Son in but not sure it's worth the dosh. Good individual player but Spuds as a whole are awful and tough fixtures.

  3. Holmes

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why is their so much love for Kun? Granted he has scored well recently but 12m for a player who we are probably not going to captain in upcoming fixtures plus chance of getting benched in easy games.

      Still out scored mane TCers from the bench this week 😛

      Think he's worth the rotation. Gw 26 cap for sure.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years

        This. He is a beast even coming off the bench plus the golden boot will be firmly in his sights. Plus he loves scoring against Spurs.

    3. Karan14

      Think short term till GW27 he's a good option.

    Guys please help. Currently doing well. Top in my mini league and overall rank in top 200 000 (1357 points). Still have all chips. Problem is my team is falling apart. I'm thinking of WC’ing even though its so early. Should I??
    Team is:

    Pope
    Robertson TAA Cresswell
    Maddison De Bruyne Richarlison Mane
    Ings Vardy Jiménez

    Button lascells. Traoré kelly

    1 free transfer

    Richarlson - injured
    Vardy - injured
    Mane - injured
    Cresswell - mistake
    Kelly - losing his place

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

      Yes wildcard I would. Just plan in advance for the double week 2-3 weeks before

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

      Vardy has a small injury and there is a good chance he will play against Chelsea. You have 1 FT that lets you take out Mane or Richarlison. With a hit you can take out 2 players. I wouldnt use my WC.

      1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You could do Mane/Rich -> Salah/Grealish for a hit.

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not all so bad - you have some great players -
      Wait on news on Vardy - next league game is not until next weekend
      Richarlison maybe back very soon - Everton have no game until next weekend
      You have a bench headache with 8 attackers - I’d hold fire

  6. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'm wildcarding this week

    Rank - 1m

    Vardy injured and form has fallen off the cliff
    Mane injured
    Maupay is crap
    Rico, Dunk & Soyuncu are crap
    Might be time to move on Lundstram

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

      Me too

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      me too

      FA cup and second leg to be played and after that we kind of know a bit more, you know who blanks in 28, in 31 and by the draw in FA cup one can at least guess who will go further. I´m at 360k and fell 50k with tc chip, hvae it on salah so hopefully something on wednesday. FH chip is important as it will give 31 easy navigation and i have to do something.

  7. Lukakus Unit
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    WC super tempting now.

    - Mane & Vardy possibly injured
    - Heaton out
    - Lund possibly losing his spot
    - Maddison & Soy off form
    - Connolly as 3rd backup
    - Kelly likely to be dropped soon
    - Traore with 3 tough fixtures in the next 4 (granted, he got points vs Liverpool)
    - week and a half to take advantage of price changes

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

      I hear you

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Agree with most of those except Traore.

      Wolves will score against all 3 of United, Leicester & Spurs. Might even beat 2 of them.

  8. Ynwalfc
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    TAA(VC),Gomez,Aurier
    KDB,Mahrez,Mane,Grealish
    Aguero(C),Jiminez,DCL

    Subs Traore,Lundstram,Kelly

    GTG? Did Ings to Jiminez. Having Traore as first sub incase Mane is still injured. Thanks guys

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

      Button is second keeper

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks great. Would look at Mane -> Salah if he's confirmed out for a bit.

  9. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Crazy to risk going without Ings in a wildcard frontline? I want Auba, Kun, Jimmy

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

      Thats what I was thinking. Ings can outscore Kun in upcoming games

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

        If not, at least that 5m difference can make the difference

      2. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure you read my comment correctly

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

          I did answer that 😀

          Would go with Ings over Kun. But if you can afford to go with that frontline without any compromise, then its fine. Personally I think its too expensive for returns that it will produce.

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You wildcarding mate?

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

          Strongly considering, especially if Mane is ruled out. Only issue is I do have 2FTs, so couple of hits can solve the problem.

          You?

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I am most likely. Will probably pull the trigger after the FA Cup pressers today.

            I did Vardy to Auba last night and just read Klopp's comments on Mane this morning.
            Already have Son so I have limited options to sell Mane and it would be for a hit.

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

              Yeah, makes sense. Lack of midfield options is an issue. You can also try Mahrez. Traore also doing fine for his price. Grealish is reliable.

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Not much to choose from honestly even on wildcard.

                Midfield - Salah, KDB, Son, Mahrez, Grealish, Traore, Fleck

                Forwards - Aguero, Auba, Jimmy, Ings, Deeney

                This is the pool of attackers to choose from. Maybe I missed out on 1 or 2 options but not much more than that.

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That's a great frontline

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how you plan to use the extra money if you get Ings.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Brought him in for Jimenez 2 GW's ago. Rest is the history....

    5. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimmi has hurt me by selling him for Ings. Traore has hurt me by benching him.
      It is amazing after a calculated decision, a couple of weeks fail means panic and go back to what we had before.

    6. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not crazy but probably daft, that great forward line suggests there are issues behind it. Ings is a great option and also an enabler, pick Kun or Auba IMO.

  10. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    Taa, Lundstram, Soyuncu, Kelly, Rico
    Salah, Mane*, Kdb, Traore, Dendoker
    Abraham*, Vardy*, Ings

    Should i wc this team * + Soyuncu, Kelly, Rico?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bad
      Good Unsure Bad Bad Bad
      Good Unsure Good Good Unsure
      Bad Unsure Good

      Those 3 should go but using a WC predominantly on benchers is a waste IMO

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

        Pope is bad? 😉

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have had him since start of season. He until 2 weeks ago was awful. maybe tide has changed. Penalty save flatters him a little.

    2. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No clue funds or transfers, but I'd do Mane to Son and Tammy to Auba or Kun.

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

        0.7m short on Auba+ Son can get that from Soyuncu to Wiliams but it would be -8

  11. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Nice Game-week? So much for TC!
    So far Noble is winning the DGW race with 7 points.
    All the tweets, podcasts, FPL sites have gone on about DGW24 What a waste of time and energy!

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

      Happens every year and we still go crazy for DGWs again and again 😆

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. You think we would learn!

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Seriously mate. I'm thinking of using the BB earlier too. Sheffield & Soton players will make for a great BB in GW26 or 27.

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

          GW27 looking good. Palace vs Newcastle also in that week. Pope vs BOU, many cheap options with easy games, wont require too much sacrifice plus no headache to prepare separately for it.

  12. Dont give a fuchs
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How is this for a WC team

    Henderson - Button
    Lundstram - Stephens - Lascelles - TAA - B. Williams
    KDB - Salah - Grealish - Richarlison - Fleck
    Aguero - Ings - Jimenez

    All suggestions are welcome 🙂

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good Bad
      unsure Good unsure Good Good
      Good Good Good Bad Good
      Good Good Good

      looks great to me

      1. Dont give a fuchs

        Any alternatives for unsure and bad?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Richa to Martial?

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't go without a 2nd keeper on wildcard if you have BB to use.

      Triple Pool is needed. Probably double defence now.

      1. Dont give a fuchs
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That would mean downgrading one mid that is Richarlison but is it worth having two defenders?

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yes would rather have Robbo over Richarlison for 1m less.

          1. Dont give a fuchs
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Very difficult to have robbo with my TV 🙁

            How nailed on is Gomez?

          2. Dont give a fuchs
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            And perez too. Can get him if I go with Gomez and second keeper as McCarthy

  13. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    And so the great Vardy sell-off begins. Do we even know the full extent of the injury yet?

    Also, remind me, do you lose a free transfer if you activate your wildcard? If so, best to use that freebie now?

      Not yet, may even return for CHE game. They should have a presser today before Caraboa cup.

      Yes you will lose the FT.

      Think he’ll be fit for next GW

        4 years, 2 months ago

        Can’t an injury have a psychological impact on some players, ie being extra careful so as not to get themselves injured again? I know that’s not the case with Vardy as he’s all action but certainly worth considering. He might not be up to speed for the first couple of games back.

    Happy Chinese New Year to all in the DZ from me and my loved ones to you and yours!
    (I hope the year of the rat can bring a sneaky climb up the rankings for me and whoever else is having a torrid season)

      Wish you the same mate.

  15. Akshatjazz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think a straight swap to Salah frm mane can be fruitful and vardy to auba and Maddison to traore for a hit ??

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

      What does your head say?

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

        I'm confused af cuz I've TC on the line

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

      IF mane is out, I'm most probably going to get Salah. Hopefully he's not though

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

        Likely to miss 25, back 26.

  16. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I'm just glad 4 out of 5 who are above me in my ML all went with mane as well.

    Hopefully he makes the 2nd game.

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Klopp has already indirectly ruled him out for the 2nd game.

    2. Party time
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No, he won't

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

        2nd line contradicts the 1st.

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

          This

    3. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Chris Wood is a very tempting option to replace Vardy

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'd keep vardy unless he's out

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

          I’m risking losing money on him. He’s already dropped 0.1m!

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Points over money but thats my opinion. I could easily see double digits against Chelsea .I'm holding until dgw time comes

      2. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’m going to keep now

    4. fish&chips

      Liverpool clean sheets with double Liverpool defence in my team 2 / 17
      Liverpool clean sheets with no double defence 6/6

      My apologies.

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

        Hopefully a CS against WHU or Haller is the one breaking it

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have I missed the Traoré boat ? Of confirmed out mane and Abraham to auba and Traoré for a hit ? Thanks

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

        I think he will do fine over next few GWs, then you can switch to Beundia/Sarr.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          As always thanks for precious help Holmes 🙂

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

      To confirm, if Norwich beats Burnley in Cup, Burnley vs Watford wont be a blank in GW31, right?

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

        yes

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

          and if Norwich lose, Norwich and Everton won't be a blank.

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

            Nice, win-win situation.

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

        Lots of things to consider ....

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

        when is the next round after this weekend ?

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

          Not sure, probably around GW28

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

            Just checked its march 4th so between gw 28 and gw29

    7. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Any chance Loris gets dropped next game? Gazzaniga would have saved that penalty

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Eh?

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No chance, club captain etc.

    8. olidooley
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hey guys.....what to do? 1 FT 2.8 itb

      Gazzaniga** McGovern
      Robertson TAA Soyuncu Lundstram Kelly
      Salah KDB Martial Grealish Dendoncker
      Vardy* Ings Maupay

      1) WC
      2) Gazzaniga TO Henderson
      3) Vardy TO Auba
      4) Both 2 and 3 for a hit

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        2

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

        I would do (2) first. Then replace one of Soy or Kelly in GW26, then do Maupay to Jimmy in GW27.

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

          Thanks guys....hopefully Vardy is ok

    9. rodragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      7 players on my team got 1 point including my tc

    10. Mackans
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Henderson (McGovern)
      Trent Lundstram Söyüncü (Kelly) (Rico)
      Salah Mané KDB Grealish (Hayden)
      Vardy Ings DCL
      2 free transfers (0.1ib)

      If Manè is injured, what about these moves:

      Vardy, Manè & Söyüncü -> Agüero, Traore & Robertson

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

        Not sure about losing Vardy but can't really argue with those transfers.

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

      Hi all

      Just to confirm, is it only City and Arsenal who blank in GW28 or could there be others too?

      Thanks

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

        Leicester and Norwich
        OR
        Aston villa and Sheffield

      2. CONNERS
        • 5 Years

        Thanks. Just hope it's Leicester/Norwich otherwise it may be time for a couple of hits.

        Man City vs Arsenal if MCI win SF vs MUN and either MCI beat FUL or ARS beat BOU
        Norwich vs Leicester if LEI win SF vs AVL and either LEI beat BRE or NOR beat BUR
        Aston Villa vs Sheffield United if AVL win SF vs LEI and SHU beat MIL
        Everton vs Man United if MUN win SF vs MCI and MUN beat WOL and TRA/WAT

          Depends if FA Cup has replay.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            What's the name of that guy on twitter who is the expert with blanks and dgws?

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

          Blank 28 will be confirmed before next GW deadline (unless there is some other possibilities)

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years

    12. balint84
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mané to Sterling or Mahrez?

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

        Let City play United.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'd personally go mahrez.

      2. Sickboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Very similar to my team and I’m thinking the same.

    15. Sickboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hovering around the 1m mark so considering wildcarding in a bid to climb the rankings:-

      McCarthy/Button

      VVD/TAA/Lund/Williams/Tanganga

      Salah/KDB/Traoré/Grealish/Hayden

      Auba/Aguero/Ings

      Thought please.

      Thanks.
