Which FPL assets topped goal threat, creativity and clean sheets this month?

Fantasy Football Scout’s latest Members Articles Unlocked series starts with a look at the players with the best points potential in January.

To do this, we’ve delved into the Members Area to bring you four takeaways from Gameweek 21 to what we’ve already seen of Gameweek 24.

This information should bring together a clear picture of the key players and key teams as we move into February, a time when many may be tempted to play that all-important second Wildcard.

This article has been written prior to the final fixture of Gameweek 24, West Ham United vs Liverpool. All statistics and the report tables are available in the Members Area and can be used on a regular basis.

Each metric takes into the account the last four Gameweek’s: a useful short-term indicator of form within the underlying statistics.

Goals Report: The Sergio Show

It’s Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) who dominates the latest Goals Report, not least because he’s scored six goals in his last four games: that’s three more than any other player. He’s also second for big chances, again with six, behind team-mate Gabriel Jesus (£9.5), demonstrating quality his chances have been over this period.

Aguero has rediscovered his accuracy too, now top for shots on target with nine, furthering the already compelling case to include him in our Fantasy squads.

With Jamie Vardy (£9.9m), Tammy Abraham (£7.8m), Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) and Harry Kane (£10.8m) all flagged with varying degrees of injury, it could be the perfect time to sign Aguero up.

Naturally, the main argument against the Argentinian is the ongoing threat of rotation with Jesus. The two strikers have played similar minutes over the period we are studying, with the Brazilian also scoring three goals and missing a penalty. He’s top for shots with 16, top for shots inside the box with 15 and second for shots on target with eight.

We have seen the pair start a Premier League game together, but with both of them having such strong underlying statistics, it’s could prove difficult to separate and put faith in either of them.

Aside from assets at Manchester City, Raul Jiménez (£7.5m) is another name who regular crops up towards the top of these charts. The Wolves man has scored three goals in his last two games, since myself and many other managers parted company ahead of seemingly difficult fixtures. Those three goals have arrived from six big chances and he’s within the top three for shots, shots in the box and shots on target.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m) has emerged as the best budget forward since Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival at Everton, scoring two goals in his last four outings. The statistics suggest he’s been somewhat unfortunate not to find the net more often, as he’s had five big chances in this spell, with 11 shots inside the box.

Chris Wood (£6.2m) may challenge Calvert-Lewin for his value status though. He’s more than survived Burnley’s difficult fixture run, with three goals in four games coming from four big chances. He’s top of the league for headed goal attempts too, with a total of six.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) are joint top for shots in January with 16 each, the Egyptian managing seven on target, and his centre-forward colleague on five. The pair are also joint-top for shots inside in the box with 15, clearly demonstrating their worth in our Fantasy teams as their promising fixture run continues into February.

Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m), Neal Maupay (£5.9m), Danny Ings (£7.0m) and Troy Deeney (£6.2m) all have promising underlying statistics, which suggests that it’s worth holding onto them. Maupay has perhaps been the most unlucky over this spell: he’s failed to convert from three big chances, having had 14 shots in the box and six on target.

Considering both form and fixtures, a frontline of Aguero, Jiménez and Wood each have a good shot at forming part of the new template.

Creativity Report: The Belgian Magician

Reassuringly, Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is right back up there as the key creator in the Premier League so far in the calendar year of 2020. We had seen some unusual activity in his underlying statistics of recent months, where he was dominating the goals and shots metrics, but he’s back where he belongs now.

De Bruyne is top in almost every creativity metric in the table: having three assists from three big chances created, plus 14 chances created and 13 successful crosses. While Aguero and Jesus may be sharing the glory when it comes to scoring Manchester City’s goals, De Bruyne is the consistent source of ammunition for them.

His big numbers are being threatened by another name though: Adama Traoré (£5.7m). The Wolves man is the only other player to register three assists in January, beating De Bruyne for big chances created too with five. Traoré having an incredible season, trusted on the right of a potent Wolves front-three. He’s created eight chances, with seven successful crosses.

Some other players from Manchester City have entered the equation for creativity: Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) has two assists from four big chances, in three starts. Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m), who is currently flagged with injury, has provided eight successful crosses and created nine chances.

Everton may be at the start of an upwards trajectory, after some generally improved performances in January. One player in the limelight is Lucas Digne (£5.8m), who has two assists and one clean sheet. He’s third for big chances with three and second for successful crosses with 12. He is even ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) for both statistics right now.

Team Report: Resurgent Foxes?

It’s been a tough spell for Fantasy managers holding Leicester City assets, with Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) and James Maddison (£7.6m) springing to mind in particular. However, the Foxes have scored nine goals in their last four games, second to only Manchester City.

They’ve had the most shots on target of any side over this period (31), creating 12 big chances. Many of us are debating selling their assets, with less favourable fixtures on the horizon, but it could be a shrewd move to hold them for a little while longer – or maybe we should look to Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) who has six attacking returns in his last five Premier League matches.

At the opposite end of the table, Tottenham Hotspur have scored just two goals in January, both coming against a leaky Norwich defence. Only five sides have had fewer big chances than Tottenham’s seven in that time, with their 16 shots on target far lower than we would expect from Spurs.

Southampton are building momentum, having scored seven goals in their last four, with a variety of sources, rather than the usual dependable Ings. They’ve had 23 shots on target in this spell, with just Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester having more.

Defence Report: Laporte Returns

Aymeric Laporte’s (£6.3m) return from a long-term injury, coincides perfectly with Manchester City’s upturn in defensive form. They may have conceded four goals in their last four games, but the underlying statistics suggest clean sheets are on the horizon.

City have conceded the fewest goal attempts in January (23) and shots on targets (seven). The quality of their opponents may be a reflection of this, having faced Everton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United, but they are looking more like the side that kept 20 clean sheets last season. Ederson (£6.0) has even been jokingly suggested as in the frame for spot-kick duty too!

Laporte in action for Manchester City

Liverpool are still the defensive kings, with three clean sheets in four and just one goal conceded. They may have been a little fortunate here though: they are mid-table for big chances conceded, with eight and City, Chelsea and Southampton have better underlying statistics for goal attempts conceded.

At the other end, Bournemouth and Aston Villa are the latest whipping boys, having conceded nine goals in four, without keeping a single clean sheet. Newcastle United are top for big chances conceded (15), with the Crystal Palace and West Ham United defences not faring too well either.

Burnley are top for goal attempts conceded, including in the box, but Nick Pope (£4.6) has survived this tough period, saving a Vardy penalty and keeping a shut-out at Old Trafford. Chelsea and Aston Villa were the Clarets other opponents in January.

    My latest WC team. Welcome any suggested changes/improvements:

    Henderson - McCarthy
    TAA - Robertson - Boly - Stephens - Williams
    Salah - KdB - Mahrez - Traore - Cantwell
    Aguero - Jiminez - Ings

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Recognise Boly and Cantwell are still injury risks currently....

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fleck over Cantwell?

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

        This

      2. Andy Mac

      Is Mahrez nailed?

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

        Probably not! Pep roulette as always but high impact player when he does and worth a differential pick (I hope!)

      Pretty good. Feels like you must have a lot of team value for this - not sure I could get there. What will you do when (if) Man City blank for the EFL cup final - happy benching all 3 of those expensive attackers? Not sold on Cantwell and maybe a Burnley or even Watford defender might be better than Boly, but they're not bad choices.

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

        Cheers mate. Yeah I have good TV tbf so can pick a decent squad...good shout out re: potential blank, need to think about that. Think Cantwell will disappear tbf. And Boly may be a “watch list” player for next couple of weeks. Appreciate the input mate!

    5. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Nice.
      Fleck over Cantwell, Newc defender over Boly?

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

        Yep. Like it. Good shout! Will prob sit on Boly for a week or two and keep funds itb. Fleck for Cantwell, deffo! Cheers bud

  3. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I wonder if Ederson really is on pens..............

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

      Is there talk of that?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah - Pep insinuated this but nothing confirmed yet. I suppose we will find out next time there is a pen.....

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

        Nothing serious 😉 Ederson said year or two ago that he would like take one. Pep said that he respects the opponent and it will not happen. Now he told, that he won't tell the penalty taker. Reporters ask stupid questions, and get similar answers.

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

      Pep said the exact same last year.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Did he?!?! When and what context?

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

      Not happening. Kun will take it if he is on the pitch!

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hope so as I have him. That said, as much as I love Kun, he is not a great pen taker.

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

      Not sure it is practical or sensible

      1. marcus2704
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        How many points is a keeper scoring a goal worth?

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Why? I am not sure it will happen but practical - he takes it and then walks back to his goal again. No problems. Sensible - if he is the best pen taker, why not?

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

          Can't see really he is going to be that much better a penalty taker than the others to negate the risk of a counter attack into an empty goal. Would love to see it though!

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Do you understand how penalties work?Genuinely concerned

    5. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You guys for real? Think Ederson on pens?
      so what happens when it's saved, the other team just a free shot at citys goal? Christ

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You don't remember Chilavert?

    6. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. He'll just give the gloves to Walker and leave him in goal as he takes the penalty.

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

    Robbo or VVD?

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

      Robbo

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

      I feel like they’re appropriately priced - Robbo if you have the money, but Virgil is a great option to fund an upgrade

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

    Southampton are said to be very close to confirming the loan signing of Kyle Walker-Peters, (4.4m in FPL)
    With the injury to Cedric, he could be picked as an immediate option for the lineup if he does sign.
    Remember, he got 3 assists in one game about a year ago vs Bournemouth. The kid has an eye for the attack.

      Great info mate! KWP bandwagon incoming!

      Differential indeed

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years

      Great differential for sure b it would we be going KWP over Stephens?

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good for Kelly (CPL) owners in FPL. Even with Ward back, CPL could still use Kelly at RB for now.

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

    Ola!

    Quick question:

    Perez + Wood or Fleck + Ings

    Thanks for the feedback 😉

    1. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Perez + Wood for me.

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

      F+I

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

    A forward up to 7m for a one week punt please, before he becomes Ings. Haller? DCL?

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

      Deeney?

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't fancy DCL much against Watford. Haller maybe. Perhaps even Joelinton (NOR)?

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

        Joelinton? Seriously?

        1. Better off with a pin and a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He asked for a punt and he's at home to NOR. Your Deeney's a good call as well. Chris Wood an option as well.

          1. Tomerick
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            There is a point where a punt becomes intentional self sabotage and picking Joelinton is that point.

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

          Joelinton is the Perfect 1 week punt with the fixture tbh. If it werent for the fact that he hasnt scored in 20+ games...

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            That's why he is so punty

          2. Better off with a pin and a…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks. I'll be honest, I didn't realise his scoring record was _quite_ as bad as it is. One-week punts are always a complete lottery, but Wood, Pukki, Haller, DCL are all more likely to score than Joelinton is. However, how good would it feel to pick him and he scored.....

    3. Bobby Digital

      Teemu Pukki baby!

    4. balint84

    A) Abraham to Jiminez
    Or
    B) Mane and Abraham to Grealish and Aguero (-4)
    Thoughts appreciated

    1. Pep Roulette

      4 years, 2 months ago

      B. The hit would be worth it as Mane looks to out for 3 weeks!

    Hoping that Liverpool reserves get drawn away to someone like Man City in the cup - should stir the blanks/DGWs up a bit if Liverpool get knocked out.

          Even with Kelly rotation fears still have more faith in him then Rico and Bou defence. Also better schedul for CP. But you decide, since you have both one must go for sure. Both are bench players anyways.

    C) Mane, Vardy and Soy > Son, Jimenez and Robbo -4.

    McCarthy
    TAA - Soy - Kelly
    Salah - Mane - KdB - Maddison - Grealish
    Ings - Vardy

    (Button - Greenwood - Lundstram - Kiko)

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B of those - don't get the Son love

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

        I dont either, but who could be better pick? Theres no any midfielder I would like to get..

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Kelly or Kiko up to Robbo and Mahrez in MF? Traore if you can't reach that far?

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

            Mahrez a too big rotation risk for me. Treore could be a good point.

        2. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Traroe, Fleck or Cantwell and then upgrade Greenwood next week?

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

        What do you not get about it? With Mane potentially injured and Sterling not in great form, he is the best midfielder to have other after Salah and KDB.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I undertsand that there is a lack of premium mids, but Spurs fixtures not the best and as a team they look horrible - would rather change the shape than get someone in because they are at the right price-point.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  16. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hypothetically if Laporte played every game between now and the end of the season, how many clean sheets do you think City will get?

    I reckon about 9 from 14.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They have a tough run of fixtures in the mid-term.

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

      Seems a bit optimistic, seven I would say.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Double GW hero so at least 4.
      9 does seem optimistic.

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

      8. You heard it here first

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

    Best Leicester midfielder?

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

      Maddison

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison

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

      For value, Barnes

      But Maddison overall

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tempted by Barnes

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

    A. Auba, Grealish/Perez
    B. Jimenez, Son

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

      B

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

        A with Grealish

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

      Jimi, Maddo and an upgrade elsewhere?

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

        Dont like Maddison at all, and looking to keep Vardy so enough for me

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

    WC draft:

    Henderson, McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, Lascelles, Lundstram, Williams
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish, Traoré
    Auba, Ings, Jimenez

    Thoughts?

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

      Very similar to mine so I would say nice.

      Yours: Henderson, Lascelles, Williams, Grealish
      Mine: Dubvraka, Ritchie, Stephens, Hayden.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Playing Ritchie and Dubravka every week?

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

          Will play them both for their decent home games in 25,28,30,31,33. McCarthy and Lund/Stephens in GW 26, BB 27. 29 Will be a combo of one keeper/defender will decide nearer the time and so on.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lund to play every week?
      Front 8 gives a bit of a headache.

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

        Would rotate with Lascelles and possibly Williams if he gets a game.

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

      Aguero instead of Auba. Downgrade Grealish to fodder.
      Maddison to Pepe?

      I would do this if I were on a WC!

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

        Pepe does not pass the eye test for me.

        Do you have some inside information from Arteta?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Their love is reason Arteta moved back down to London

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

          Passed my eye test, more than Aubameyang.

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

      I like it, nice balance.

      Benching headache though

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

    Really want Villa beat Leicester in Carabao! Don't want to sell Schmeichel & Vardy!

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I want Villa win as a reason not to get Grealish on WC.

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

      a lot of teams with 3 players from AVL and SHU too

  21. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pérez or Traore

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

      Traore

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

      Traore

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

    Thoughts on WC draft? Not activated yet..

    Henderson - McCarthy
    Trent - Robertson - Fernandez - E.Stevens - Cahill
    Salah - KDB - Grealish - A.Traore - Fleck
    Aguero - Jimenez - Ings

    Also:

    1. Aguero & Fleck
    2. Aubameyang & Barnes
    3. C.Wood & Mahrez
    4. DCL & Mahrez

    If 3 or 4...
    A) Son
    B) Mahrez

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      2

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

    A. Maddison, Jimenez
    B. Fleck, Vardy

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Both starters?

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

      A

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years

      A

  24. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I don't feel I need the members articles unlocked when I can patently rely on the unmatched authority and wisdom of the FPL Pro Pundits. 😯

  25. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any ideas? Got 2 free transfers and 1.1 in the bank.

    Guaita Button
    TAA Soy Lund Sidibe Reid
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish Hayden
    DCL Vardy Ings

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

      Mane and Sidibe out

      Son/Mahrez and Robertson in

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

        I've been looking at that but I think that Soy needs to go before Sidibe. Cheers!

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

          Good point that. I'd do that. And give Sidibe 2 more

  26. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is my bench order and team selection ok, pretty flexible team:
    Foster
    Kelly - Lascelles - TAA
    (G)realish - KDB - Alli - Salah
    Ings - Deulofeu - Bobby

    Henderson, Hayden, Rico, Lundstram.

    Wouldn't mind playing Hayden tbh but struggling to find someone to bench. Alli, Deulofeu and Ings options I guess but worried to bench any.

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

      Yes, gtg

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

    Gazza+Mané+Vardy
    to

    McCarthy+Sterling+Auba (-4)

    is this a good move?

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

      No. Get rid of Mane and Gazza but keep Vardy and don't get Sterling

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

    A. McCarthy, VVD
    B. Button, Robertson

    Button would be bench fodder but McCarthy would rotate with Henderson.

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

      A for BB later on

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

    Hope KWP goes to Palace, will be a great option at 4.4 instead of Cahill

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thought he was Soton bound?

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

        they're both fighting for him

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

      Looks more likely that Southampton will be his destination

  30. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on my latest WC ?

    Henderson Button
    TAA Lund VVD Lascelles 3.9
    Salah KDB Grealish Traore Fleck
    Aguero Auba Ings

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

      Downgrade Aguero and upgrade 3.9 and Button. Need squad depth you haven't used bench boost

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

        Allready used it.
        Its now all in 😀

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

          Oh ok. GTG then

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's like you picked a team to get screwed over in the blanks lol. I suggest you go find out about blank weeks and which teams might be affected. Lundstram might also have lost his place, and get a back up keeper for Henderson.

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

        Sure, but as u know im on wc and can do some changes when we know more about blank/dgw.
        For Lund i dont think anyone will lose him just yet, too much risk.
        And ill go with one keeper only i think two keepers is waste (unless ur gonna use bb)

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Well we know for a fact Henderson misses gameweek 31 at least

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

            True, but that time Sheffields fixtures turn anyway.

            Do u know whats the all talk about dgw 26 ?

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years

      Like it, 4 beasts in 1 team.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Actually 5 including Trent
