Recapping the best Southampton players ahead of FPL restart

With just days to go before the Premier League season restarts, our series of team-by-team refresher articles continues with a look at Southampton.

Taking data from Gameweeks 24-29 as a jumping-off point for wider analysis, we will be discussing the players from Ralph Hasenhuttl’s squad who most catch the eye.

Fantasy managers may well be swerving the Saints to start off, with some tricky matches to come between Gameweeks 31+ and 35+.

Should the south coast club still have ‘something to play for’ come the fixture swing in Gameweek 36+, however, then they will likely re-enter the radar at that point.

With this article borrowing heavily from the data available in our Members Area, only subscribers of Fantasy Football Scout can read on.

    Hows the BB team look? Plan on WC in 2-3 weeks after seeing form + rotation.

    Dubravka McCarthy
    TAA Stevens Baldock Justin Saiss
    Mane KDB Grealish Barnes Cantwell
    Kun Rash Jimi

      It has a lot to like
      As you’ll have one FT in WK31, who would you transfer out to make that week’s team better?
      You can easily get a DGW keeper
      O’Connell or Egan better picks than Baldock IMO

    Thoughts? No help last time...

    GW30 : Triple Captain
    GW31 : Free hit

    [ Henderson ]
    Trent [ Laporte ] [ O'Connell ]
    [ KdB ] [ Grealish ] [ El Ghazi ] Son
    [ Aguero ] Pukki Jimenez

    Foster B.Fernandes Boly Diop

    Also:
    A) Henderson, Fabianski, Diop, El Ghazi
    B) Krul, McCarthy, Egan, Sarr

    B would mean starting Bruno GW30+ and instead of El Ghazi to Sarr, I would do Egan to Cathcart 🙂

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dont you need Lundstram if youre triple capping?

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You can instead FH this GW and not worry about TV and attack the DGW and C Salah/Mane in 31 when they welcome Palace at Anfield for their coronation.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I don't want 3 Pool after 31 though.

        That's why I'm free hitting 31, so I can triple up on Leicester and Pool. Get Doherty and Kane. As well get rid of City players as they play Chelsea

        1. french holiday
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I feel Klopp wont rotate as much as people seem to think after Pool win the title. They will chase records and golden boots.

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Not sure. They will give opportunities to young players so they get a medal. 3 is still too many

            1. french holiday
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Maybe but the likes of Salah and Mane will want to chase the golden boot. I dont think we will see a CupXI side is what i am saying with Pool yougsters.

              1. Coys96
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I think he will give Minamino a chance for sure. Maybe also Harvey Elliot

                1. french holiday
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Lets not forget with 5 subs he can always give his attackers enough minutes.

                  1. Coys96
                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    True, but if spending 12.5 million u want a player who plays a lot of mins and is captainable

                    1. french holiday
                      • 6 Years
                      3 years, 9 months ago

                      I will always have one of Salah/Manè.

                      1. Coys96
                        • 6 Years
                        3 years, 9 months ago

                        Yeah it's safe

    3. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Whos getting the armband?

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Aguero

  3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not seeing the Silvas in many teams. May be worth a punt if chasing

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Everyone is chasing except one.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not if an ML win is your only motivation.

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bernardo maybe but his numbers this season aren't great

    3. The Mandalorian

      Limited mins

  4. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi how does my BB team look?

    Leno Henderson
    Trent Ota Doherty O’Connell Egan
    KDB Mané Bruno Grealish McGinn
    Kun(c) Tammy Nketiah

    I have all chips, plan to WC next gw

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If possible try to get Auba/3rd City attack even if that involves taking money off TAA and Doherty for this GW as you will be WC them back in 31+

      1. Crystal Alice
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Auba too pricey, I like the Nketiah punt with the extra transfers it could pay off. I like Doherty's fixture and have far too much value in Trent

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you plan to WC right away just go DGW heavy.

      1. Crystal Alice
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not confident tripling up on Arsenal or Villa really, prefer some balance. Possibly Bruno could make way, not too damaging to buy him back

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Unless you have a lot of value tied up in Mane, I’d give Sterling a go for the DGW
      You easily get him back when you WC

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Eaxctly its Manè v Everton and Sterling v Arsenal and Burnley. It can go either way but you would think Sterling atleast matches him.

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah but I dont have my WC left. Dont want Sterling in 31 but do want Mané...

  5. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    0.3 saved with TAA and 0.2 in Jimenez... Worth keeping on a bb before a WC?

    Think I'll defo keep Bruno as good fixtures and 0.2 saved :/

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm in the same position with TAA/DCL (0.3m) and Fernandes/Salah (0.2m).

      Currently keeping TAA and Fernandes on BB but still undecided on the latter. I do want him back for 31+. It's tough because my TV is really, really poor.

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping both. TV is a consideration but I like them as single GW options too.

  6. Crashjct
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hello everyone!

    I’m using unlimited transfers & BB GW 30+. Which pair should I go with?

    A. Tammy & Fleck
    B. Son & Ayew

  7. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Play Lund or bring in Baldock?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Baldock

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Baldock more nailed.

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lund has attacking returns off the bench

  8. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    7-1 win for Chelsea against QPR this morning. Loftus-Cheek brace

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Did Alonso / Tammy / Pulisic get any minutes?

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Presume so, will probably find out more later. Giroud, Willian and Gilmour x2 also scored

        1. french holiday
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ok much appreciated if we know Alonso is nailed..seems Tammy has competition from Giroud

          1. CostaCoffee
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Reece James has been injured and only returned to training a few days ago. Alonso should probably start against Villa in that case

            1. french holiday
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Def considering 2 Chelsea players v that Villa defence.

            2. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Yes - signs looking like he will start.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Any line up info?

    3. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Goatmour brace. Giroud & Willian got a goal each.

    4. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Giroud was in good form before the break so he’d be unlucky if he doesn’t get a chance against AVL.

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hi.....been kind of settled on this free hit now for 24hrs. How does it look? Thanks

    Leno
    Taa Stevens balcock
    Sterling (c) Kdb grealish fleck
    Kun auba abraham

    Thanks

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have the same apart from Henderson for Leno and Doherty for Stevens. Like it a lot!

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Solid enough.

      Looks like you have a similar dilemma to me - fitting Sterling in and where to sacrifice. For you it's Fleck in midfield, granted you are also fitting in TAA so that takes up even more budget.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Andy

        The only thing I can think of is ditching sterling and Fleck for mahrez and pepe

        Do u think that is worth it?

        Affordable just by downgrading Stevens to egan

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Finding that decision hard to be honest.

          Gut feeling is if anyone is going to get 2 starts in midfield it's Sterling. Mahrez just feels like a 90 + mins in the other game.

          Appreciate all players could just start 1 game, but Sterling feels like the one who could start both.

          But Mahrez has been pretty consistent with points when he has played and does give a bit more £££ to play with. Whether Pepe is worth it though is another one hard to answer! Gut feeling there is he won't be.

          That likely didn't help you at all, but it's good to think out loud sometimes 😆

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I remember when I last punted on Mahrez, played 0 mins in 3 games, lol.

          2. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            No worries mate...

            I quite like the idea of captioning sterling as differential so that is swinging it at the moment.

            Plus Fleck was in my squad from before lockdown. Even though he didn't deliver many points I have a bit of an emotional attachment to him! Good luck!

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mount Jotta/Pukki over Fleck Abraham?

  10. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have WC, BB and FH chips left.

    How does the FH team look?

    1.5itb
    Leno
    TAA Lundstram O'connell
    Sterling Bruno KDB Grealish Fleck
    Aguero Auba

  11. andy85wsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any interest in Arsenal defenders outside of Leno?

    Bellerin and Tierney have started both the "pre-season" games they've had.

    Henderson + one of those covers the clean sheets that Leno + Sheffield United defender provides.

    Big plus for the Leno combo is it's cheaper + pretty much nailed on 60+ mins.

    But the Arsenal defender combo means a potential slight differential. Just not sure there's enough upside to risk it

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have interest in 0 Arsenal players.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not even Aubameyang?

        1. Lav
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nope, gone all season without him and done well. Arsenal just do not appeal to me. Backing Kun Rash Jimi

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            BB certainly looks a lot better without Auba

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me.

      If City are firing on all cylinders your Arsenal defenders could end up on minus points from that game.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Leno too though right?

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I considered Bellerin, but I think it's more likely that Leno gets more points because of all the saves he'll have to make.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He has had to make a lot of saves this season that's for sure!

    4. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Luiz? Gets the odd goal n assist.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Too expensive for me. I'd consider him or Bellerin for the run-in of more favourable fixtures, but most of the time they don't get attacking returns so I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable counting on goals or assists in only 2 games.

    5. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Luiz is the most nailed and Tierney is the most exciting Arsenal defender if one has to consider them for this GW.

    6. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If I was going for anyone it’d be Bellerin.
      But I don’t see them keeping a clean sheet against City, and due to his price that probably rules him out....he’s not on the attacking returns level as say, Doherty, or Alonso.

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bellerin has lost some pace due to the injuries and unsure if he carries the same attacking threat as seasons ago.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I don’t disagree.
          I am also a little concerned with all of the high energy wing back players, they’re obviously prime for early subs...although if they get subbed on 61minutes with a clean sheet locked in it might not be so bad?

          1. french holiday
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Well agree on that. The likes of TAA and Doherty can be subbed off early but dont think before 60mins.

  12. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Having second thoughts on using transfers to create a BB team due to loss of TV and doubts over certain players.

    What do you think of this FH team?

    Henderson
    TAA - Doherty - O'Connell - Stevens
    Sterling - KDB - Grealish
    Aguero - Vardy - Jiminez

    (Fodder bench)

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Solid. I have a similar thought to you, but I am playing BB still despite only having 5 DGW players

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks.

      Yes, could be a great week to BB, hope you do well.

      I had Salah, Cantwell and Krul in my BB team. The minor injury for Salah plus the positive Covid result for a Norwich player has made me rethink my plans.

  13. Oldie99
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Think im done, BB30+ with wildcard straight after, good to go?

    Only question is Laporte + McGinn OR Otamendi + grealish?

    Reina Pope
    TAA Laporte Lord Egan Saiss
    KDB Saka Pepe Fleck McGinn
    Auba Kun(C) Jimi

    1. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Laporte & McGinn IMO.

  14. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mount also scored in the game today

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Line ups? Any returns for Puli Tammy Alonso?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        From Rotation AE on;

        RLC x2, Gilmour x2, Willian, Mount, Giroud with the goals

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Any news on Tammy?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Do CHE have anymore friendlies prior to their game against AVL?

  15. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH Squad for GW31+

    Patricio (BOU)
    Trent (CRY) Van Dijk (CRY) Doherty (BOU) Justin (BRI)
    Salah (CRY) Son (WHU) Barnes (BRI)
    Kane (WHU) Vardy (BRI) Rashford (SHU)

    3.9 / Cantwell (EVE) / Guendouzi / 3.9

    A) Use FH GW31 & TC GW30
    B) Use FH GW30 & TC in a SGW

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Where is Bruno ? I think he is the best Utd FPL asset.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah could have him over Rashford.

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fyi, if I free hit gw 30. I will own Salah, Trent, Jimenez, Boly, Son. No Leicester, Doherty, triple pool, wasted funds on KdB. Double United attack (against SHU)

    4. CONNERS

      As per my post above, I was planning to BB gw30 and FH later, but now looking like I will FH gw30 instead.

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years

        On the same boat as you. It is a lot of headache using the UT+BB this GW and then WC the next GW.

    Cahill, Aarons or Lascelles for DGW bench?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Lascelles for me

    2. Bobby Digital

      Aarons

  18. Tibbs
    • 12 Years

    What do you prefer for BB?

    1) Mahrez + Ozil + Saiss
    2) Sterling + Saka + 4.4 DEF (Targett, Mings etc)

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2 as I do not think Ozil will get many points mainly.

      Very good side! KDB or Aguero captain?

      1. Red Rock
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Cricket, it's got to be Aguero surely. Kevin will no doubt play 180 mins though.

        Was torn between going 12 double gameweek players before realising the potential in Chelsea and Wolves fixtures.

    1. Red Rock
      • 6 Years

      Looks good, although not sure if I trust Saka to start now that Tierney is fit. He's a brilliant cheap option though

  21. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Still undecided on my strategy. Please give me some advice? BB, FH, WC left. Now thinking of hitting WC 33/34, so BB now and FH whenever. Trying to find a balance between dgw players and players I want for 31&32 at least. 0.1itb

    Ederson/Leno
    Alonso TAA Egan Boly O'Connell
    Grealish KdB Bruno McGinn Saka
    Auba Jimenez Kane(early punt)

    Should I downgrade Ederson to get Kun in for Kane maybe? Any other thoughts?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I prefer having Kun over Kane as you do not have Sterling. Rest looks good. Are you adamant on keeping Alonso

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Just think Alonso has good fixtures in the near future? Rather him out than Ederson to get Kun?

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Hard to say. Assume you'll play Leno in 31+ and 32+ and Ederson is a lot sitting on bench for a few weeks, but you know that's the risk with your strategy. Was thinking what if you downgraded Ederson event to Henderson but still that wouldn't be enough to go Kane -> Kun. Ugh, tough one.

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Its simple if you decide to use the UT+BB then you should go with a strong team for this DGW and then WC the next GW.

      1. Latch86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I think he's just thinking that the points he would forego this week by not having a full DGW quota would be offset by delaying his WC by 1 or 2 GW's.

        Depends on how invested he is in some players too.

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Correct. Haven't decided yet, but BB and then WC is not that simple with the value I have tied-up in a few players. Just think my team will be considerably weaker for the run-in if I BB now and WC right after

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            For me I have 0,3m tied up in TAA & DCL and 0.2m tied up in Fernandes & Salah. Atm I still have TAA and Fernandes, but I feel removing Fernandes might help me access Sterling instead of Mahrez. I'm really not sure tbh.

            1. The Count of Monte Cristo
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              FYI - v. low TV

              Leno | McCarthy
              TAA | Lundstram | Egan | O'Connell | Lascelles
              KDB | Mahrez | Grealish | Fernandes | Cantwell
              Aguero | Aubameyang | Nketiah

              1. The Count of Monte Cristo
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Didn't realise my post was on this page, apologies for spamming.

      3. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. But I don't think it's that simple. I will lose a lot of value, which means my WC team is not close to what I want. I bought DCL at 5.8, and need 6.5 to get back. 0.4 lost there. Not to mention Salah, Pope, Martial etc

  22. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Really poor TV - current BB30+ side:

    Leno | McCarthy
    TAA | Lundstram | Egan | O'Connell | Lascelles
    KDB | Mahrez | Grealish | Fernandes | Cantwell
    Aguero | Aubameyang | Nketiah

    Have 0.2m tied up in Fernandes but thinking of foregoing this to upgrade Mahrez to Sterling?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would forego the Fernandes money (I'm doing the same with Salah, probably Martial) and upgrade Nketiah. Jota maybe?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for this. Fernandes + Nketiah is exactly the same for me as Jimenez + Saka, which is an option.

        Had not really considered Jota as I didn't really fancy McGinn (Bruno + Nket -> Jota + McGinn)

    2. Red Rock
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks really good. I would hold Bruno, he's their creator and you'd think if United do score he would be involved, plus good fixtures after spurs

      You could drop Lundstrum but honestly with 5 subs there will be rotation from everyone. I wish I could fit him in but it'd be stressful waiting for the lineup

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. I don't think I will be waiting on lineups because as you say there will be subs; hoping Lund will start one of the two and get 30 mins off the bench in the other.

      Jota, but if you have Jimenez then dcl

    4. french holiday
      • 6 Years

      DCL. Nailed + Jiminez is a more safer pick from Wolves attack.

      Jota here

    Between two players in same position, one has higher BPS but lower actual bonus points
    What's the conclusion to be drawn from the same?

  25. Optimus.

    FH complete, couple of risks

    ................Henderson
    ..........TAA O`Connell Egan
    Salah KdB Mahrez Grealish McGinn
    ...............Aguero Auba

    3.9m 4.2m 3.9m 3.9m 0.0 in the bank

      1. Rinseboy

        this serious? What about the other guy they signed? is Lund expected to play then?

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks great.

  26. Peteex
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    All chips available. WC next week and BB team currently:

    Leno, Ramsdale
    Baldock, Stevens, Lundstram, TAA, Tanganga
    Grealish, Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Pepe, KDB
    Kun, Auba, Jesus (0,0M bank)

    Haven't seen Jesus in BB-teams and this is best team I could build up with him.

    What do you think of this team?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jesus is an interesting shout, could be a good differential. Personally wouldn't triple up with Villa in midfield, I'm just going for Grealish. Maybe the Jesus money could improve Luiz/McGinn?

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        especially as Villa play against the treble Sheff Utd D in one of those games

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Jesus to Pukki should give you enough in the bank to upgrade those Villa mids, and you could still go Ederson or Leporte for your third city player.

        2. Peteex
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yea I know it's kind a odd have 3 Villa attackers and 3 Shu defenders but if Villa scores I think those players could be involved and its +++ for me and if they don't score I will +++ tripling Shu defence.

          And there is of course that second game also for those Villa midfielders

      2. Peteex
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for the reply.

        The thing is I'm trying to get the best out of the Dgw players. Don't think I wan't Villa defenders and if I go with Jesus then there really isn't available spots for Villa players elsewhere.

        If you would downgrade Jesus who third City player you would have?

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'm on Mahrez at the moment. Not absolutely nailed down my plans but I think I'm going for Mahrez, KdB and Aguero as opposed to Ederson with KdB and Aguero.

        2. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Samatta for Jesus then ? Use MITB to upgrade Douglas Luiz, Tanganga, Ramsdale

        3. Peteex
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks mates. Will think about your suggestions

    2. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You could easily bench Ramsdale Tanganga amd Douglas Luiz to save your BB

      1. Peteex
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yea I could but don't think there will be better week for BB than this

    3. KDF
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't believe the Villa dgw players are going to be able to score heavily enough to beat single game week players

  27. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Please could u suggest A or B for my FH team please?

    A)
    Henderson
    TAA baldock Doherty
    Pepe KDB Grealish Sterling
    Auba aguero Abraham

    B)
    Henderson
    Alonso Baldock Doherty
    Özil KDB grealish Sterling
    Auba aguero Jimenez

    Thanks

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A as wouldn't rely on Ozil

    2. Peteex
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Prefer A

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks guys.

        I think that’s what I’m leaning towards too. Hoping Tammy cab find his early season form

    3. Red Rock
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So it's between:

      Trent, Pepe, Tammy
      Alonso, Ozil, Jimmy

      I don't like either arsenal mid, would prefer a city mid but it's a roulette. Probably go for Pepe just because Ozil hasn't featured a whole lot, though Jimmy over Tammy.

      Trent has to stay, although Alonso is almost a must for this weej

  28. Aftermath
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How's this BB team?

    Leno Henderson
    TAA Baldock Egan Doherty Laporte
    KDB grealish McGinn Willian saka
    Auba Aguero Jimenez

  29. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How about this for a BB team?

    Henderson, Leno
    TAA, Lundstram, Egan, Lascelles, Targett
    KDB, Sterling, Grealish, McGinn, Saka
    Auba, Aguero, Jimenez

    Will WC in GW31+

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka and McGinn are risky for me. If possible TAA to someone cheaper and upgrade McGinn to Grealish.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He's got Grealish.

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Almost exactly the same at the moment, so I'm biased but I think your team looks strong!

      I've got Mahrez, Mount and Cantwell instead of Sterling, McGinn and Saka.

      I could upgrade Basham to Lundstram and his two goals, albeit in a friendly, the other day are tempting me.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'll pretend not to notice how you have 1.8m more to spend that I do.

  30. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else with their WC left had a look at how they might use it in GW31+?

    Doing so earlier has pretty much eliminated any doubts I had about the unlimited transfers/30+ BB strategy. Definitely going for it now.

    Plans could go out of the window after the first GW back, but it felt good to try and plan ahead. Looks like there could be some exciting options.

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Trent, Maguire, Alonso, SHU defender
      Bruno, Mount, Grealish, Salah/Mane
      Rashford, and 2 of Vardy, Kane, Deeney, Pukki, Abraham

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice! Latest plan I had was:

        Pope (and not decided if I need a playing second GK yet)
        Trent, Doherty, Maguire, Lascelles, Soyuncu
        Salah, KdB, Martial, Mount/Barnes, Cantwell
        Rashford, Jimi then Abraham or Jota, or maybe Vardy, which would require further tinkering.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The dgwers have decent games in GW31+, bar SHU, so will probably use my WC in GW32+.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Interesting. Hadn't thought of that but worth considering, thanks.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Careful you may be priced out by GW32

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Also a good point, thanks. As things stand, I'll be pressing the WC button as soon as I can after the GW30+ deadline passes.
