David finally managed to get one over Az in the latest episode of Football Manager – FPL Style.

Following weeks of humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat, the Fantasy Football Scout editorial team got their first win of the campaign.

The much-needed victory was secured through the help of a Liverpool double-up of Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m).

The two players scored 17 and 13 points each, David handing the captaincy to the latter – the first time the FFS armband has landed on someone with attacking returns this series!

The points all came as Liverpool were emphatic 4-0 winners over Aston Villa at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Az actually managed to captain his high-scoring player in Salah, but the Egyptian and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) were his only two assets to get any returns.

David and the FFS team pulled in 10 points from Nick Pope‘s (£4.9m) clean sheet in a win over Sheffield United, while Leicester and Jonny Evans (£5.3m) also kept out Crystal Palace.

As for our prediction of the 2019/20 season, things are heating up in the race for the top four.

With Liverpool now 31 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, it is Leicester, Chelsea, Manchester United, Wolves, Spurs, Sheffield United and Arsenal who are producing the most pulsating contest.

Wins for Chelsea, Wolves and Spurs came at the expense of damaging defeats for Manchester United, Sheffield United and Arsenal.

Meanwhile, the relegation fight is becoming increasingly polarising.

Norwich, Aston Villa and West Ham are starting to get left behind by Watford, Brighton and Bournemouth, who are pulling away from the bottom three.

    V-FPL - had to move Pukki and Fernandes out so brought in DCL and Martial. With Gomez Fernández Hayden not getting starts in last 2 games and C Taylor injured is it worth taking hits or not to ensure starting defenders? Or just hope it is time for Gomez and/or Fernández to get start?

    Leno
    TAA Gomez Maguire
    Mané Mahrez Martial Sarr
    Aubameyang Jota DCL

    Button Fernández Hayden C Taylor

      I shipped them for Alli and DCL. Was contemplating Kane plus a 5m ish mid but think these 2 are a better balance.

      I think your better off with no hits and even if you had only 10 starters one of Gomez or Fernández should start. I have Gomez too, don't expect him to be benched for too long.

        Thanks for that. Think Alli will prove to be good move for you. I did have in mind also

      I have both, was actually thinking Pogba might be a good differential with Fernandes out. Also thinking without the pressure of price changes I may hold Bruno, just the one FT this week and not keen for hits so he will probably go on my bench for this week at least.

    Is Rashford worth the extra money over Martial?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Has been so far. 55 points V Martial's 35 for just 0.8m more.

  8. Sloane426
    • 6 Years

    Hayden still the best 4.3m mid pick?
    Real FPL not virtual.

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years

      If you want someone to just sit on your bench and never play, there are a couple 4.2 mids now.
