What next for Arsenal assets after unfortunate blanks for Aubameyang and Leno?

Brighton 2-1 Arsenal

  • Goals: Lewis Dunk (£4.7m), Neal Maupay (£5.7m) | Nicolas Pépé (£9.3m)
  • Assists: Aaron Connolly (£4.2m) | Bukayo Saka (£4.7m)
  • Bonus Points: Maupay x3, Dunk x2, Pépé x1

A serious injury to Bernd Leno (£5.0m) at Brighton typified what proved to be a largely disappointing Double Gameweek for Arsenal players.

After registering five points in the midweek 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, the Gunners’ goalkeeper was only able to increase his score for the round by one.

That’s because Leno only lasted 39 minutes before having to come off with what many suspected was a broken leg, although that is not yet confirmed.

He jumped up to claim a high ball in the Arsenal penalty area, only to be barged over somewhat unnecessarily by Brighton forward Neal Maupay (£5.7m).

Trying to remain in the area with the caught ball, Leno stuck out a leg, which buckled underneath him.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after the game that the injury did not look positive, but that they would know more after a scan.

“I believe that no player has the intention to hurt anybody and I believe in this case it’s exactly the same, it was unfortunate. Bernd’s injury doesn’t look good and we will have to assess him probably tomorrow, but it can happen on a football pitch. It’s a knee injury, I think he had a hyperextension of the knee and we have to assess the damage. We don’t know [the full extent]. He was in a lot of pain but we will have to wait until tomorrow to see how bad the damage is.” – Mikel Arteta

Leno’s likely absence for the rest of the season does open the door for Emiliano Martínez (£4.2m) to start the remaining games for Arsenal, but it seems unlikely that Fantasy managers will flock towards him en masse.

That’s because the Gunners’ defence continues to completely underwhelm, conceding another two on Saturday afternoon. 

With Pablo Mari (£4.8m) and David Luiz (£5.7m) both missing, it was Shkodran Mustafi (£5.1m) and Rob Holding (£4.4m) named at centre-back, the latter making just his second league start of the campaign. Despite initially looking solid, the ever-present Leno’s absence was felt throughout the team, allowing Brighton to grow into the game, especially in the second half.

Lewis Dunk (£4.7m) capitalised on some scrappy defending in the box to get the equaliser before Maupay punished Arsenal on the counter-attack late-on.

The upcoming fixtures for Arsenal certainly don’t scream ‘defensive investment’ either, with Southampton, Wolves and Leicester three of their next four.

However, the £4.2m man Martínez could well be the perfect second-choice goalkeeper for those playing their Wildcards right now, if he can offer regular starts at just £4.2m. In his 50 minutes on the pitch, the budget goalkeeper made three saves, earning an additional point for them.

Outside of their questionable defence, Fantasy managers may be increasingly frustrated with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) who blanked for the second match in a row. For all his Double Gameweek 30+ hype, the forward ended the round with just four points to his name.

While Wednesday night was a largely abject affair from the Gabonese international, Aubameyang’s blank at Brighton was not for lack of trying.

He produced an uncharacteristically busy display at the Amex Stadium and was rather unfortunate not to come away with something from the game.

Aubameyang is usually the sort of player who errs towards the side of languid brilliance, but there was an energy and enthusiasm about him in Sussex, leading to a game littered with shots from Arsenal’s number 14.

He could have arguably had a brace inside the first five minutes with two early chances. Nicolas Pépé (£9.3m) was unleashed on the right-hand side with his pace in the opening minute, looping a cross to Aubameyang, who managed to hook a blocked shot at goal.

Shortly after, the forward was handed a stray pass in a dangerous area by Davy Pröpper (£4.8m). He bore down on goal and, under some pressure, struck his effort just high and wide, but not by much.

In the ninth minute, Aubameyang probably should have had an assist, were it not for some indecision from Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m). He pressed through the middle and fed his French colleague with a nice through-ball. Lacazette allowed it run across him onto the right foot but took too long to shoot before Adam Webster (£4.5m) was able to slide in and block.

Aubameyang was back at it again in the second half, linking up with Lacazette nicely in the 47th minute. After a neat one-two, he found a great position to shoot but, again, it was Webster who got in the way. Just a few moments after that, he bore down on goal again, his left-footed effort just about stopped by Mathew Ryan (£4.7m).

Just short of the hour, Aubameyang got himself involved in the set pieces in an attempt to find the break-through. Dani Ceballos (£5.2m) rolled a free-kick in his direction, producing a powerful shot from range, blocked by the wall.

After another low effort from the left was parried around the post by Ryan, Aubameyang tried his luck from distance once again, arguably very unlike the penalty-box merchant. His swerving 79th-minute effort nearly caught Ryan off-guard, who had to bat it away and contend with a crowd of players to smother it eventually.

With all of that in mind, the more patient Fantasy managers may consider holding onto Aubameyang, at least for the next two matches, which pit Arsenal against Southampton and Norwich. Neither of those two sides has had a particularly solid year defensively, so it is entirely possible that Aubameyang will get more opportunities to score. That said, it might be worth keeping an eye on any upcoming Arteta press conference about rotation. The forward has now played 90 minutes in each of the first two games since the Premier League restart.

Of the much-discussed Double Gameweek assets, only Pépé and Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) went some way to rewarding their owners at Brighton.

The latter was in especially scintillating mood operating in central attacking midfield, striking the crossbar in the seventh minute and setting up Lacazette for an impressive diving header saved by Ryan later in the first half.

It was in the second that Saka got his just rewards, his laid-off pass what led to Pépé’s impressive curling effort beyond Ryan.

With both of those midfielders, holding them for those upcoming favourable fixtures does also look a smart move, despite Arsenal’s inability to see out the result at Brighton.

Whether or not the Seagulls can be trusted for Fantasy investment does remain to be seen, especially considering their nasty upcoming fixtures, which include Leicester (away), Manchester United (home), Liverpool (home) and Manchester City (home) between now and Gameweek 35+.

However, there were some shoots of promise against Arsenal, not least from Ryan, whose five saves was just one shy of achieving a second additional point in that department. As a result, the Brighton shot-stopper was also only just edged out of the bonus points, which bodes well for the future too.

Fantasy managers should probably keep an eye on Maupay after his late winning goal. The former Brentford man registered more efforts on goal than any other Brighton player and finally delivered on the promise he showed pre-lockdown. In our recap of the best Brighton players ahead of Double Gameweek 30+, we highlighted that, in the six Gameweeks before March’s coronavirus suspension, Maupay had one of the best shots on target totals in the Premier League, implying that he only needed to improve his conversion to offer some value. He did that against Arsenal, so we will have to see if that continues into Gameweek 31+.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-3-3): Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Schelotto (Montoya 71′); Pröpper, Bissouma (Mac Allister 90+4′), Mooy (March 46′); Trossard (D Stephens 87′), Maupay, Groß (Connolly 71′).

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Leno (Martínez 39′); Kolasinac, Holding, Mustafi, Bellerín; Ceballos (Willock 87′), Guendouzi; Aubameyang, Saka (Tierney 87′), Pépé (Nelson 87′); Lacazette (Nketiah 78′).

    Does the transfer window apply for free agents? Wondering when the race to sign Fraser starts.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Starts as of July 1st.

      1. pingissimus

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ty

        Bournemouth really are missing him - or at least last seasons version. Completely toothless nowadays.

        Would love him at Palace but I guess he’ll be snaffled by Arsenal.

    2. Amey

      Google says:
      Free agents can be signed by a club at any time during the season, if they had been released by their previous club before the end of the transfer window. A club can request to sign a player on emergency basis, e.g. if several goalkeepers are injured at the same time.

  3. Djemba-Djemba
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not sure how so many are able to afford TAA, Doherty, Salah, Fernandes, KDB, Son etc...

    Im struggling so ended up with this WC team:

    Pope
    Doherty, TAA, Aurier, Lescalles, Robinson
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Bergwijn, Hayden
    Rashford, Jimenez, Ayew

    0.5 ITB

    Any major issues with this? I couldn't afford Son

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

      I’d lose Aurier and Bergwijn but I’m not big on Spurs now.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same here pal.

      I've ended up with Saiss over Doherty so that I could fit in the rest.

      My DF isn't all that great to be honest. But the rest of the team is tip top IMO.

      If I were you, I'd look at downgrading Doherty and upgrading Ayew or Bergwin

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

      I'm going without Salah or Mane. It's a huge sacrifice but opens up so much money and with how much I need to chase it could pay off.

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would do berg to sarr and ayew to dcl

  4. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Mané and dcl
    B) son and rashford

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

      A

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

      A

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm, my plan was to go without liverpool attackers, but not sure now

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Is DCL Son Rashford possible? Who do you have up top?

      Norwich and Bournemouth look there for the taking. SU conceding all those chances to impotent Villa with Grealish not featuring is hardly encouraging with no Hendo.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah it is, but would be a - 12! Have jimenez already. Would need to lose Leno.
        Tempting!

    5. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      All of them

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

      I've literally just done Rashford and Son to Salah and DCL before coming on here and reading this.......so yeah I think A

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Really?!

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

          Yeah, really. Gone for Bruno and Bergwijn as my Man Utd and Spurs players

    7. FPL_DON

      a

  5. beric

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning guys, debating these moves

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      You know Auba will score if you take him out for a hit

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    Play one this gw

    A. Saka sou a
    B. Taylor wat h

  8. Vazza
    • 3 Years

    Mason Mount - need some goals from you today mate, don’t let me down.

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

      He will assist 2 of tammys 3 goals.

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

        Would take that all day long

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

          Surely, big differential for those of us that have him

      2. waltzingmatildas

    Morning gents!

    Hope everyones having a good weekend.

    Any comments on my WC team would be much appreciated;

    Pope Martin
    TAA Saiss Lascelles Robinson Simpson
    Mane KDB Son Bruno 4.2
    Rashford Jimenez Abraham

    0.1 ITB.

    Tempted to go for DCL instead of Abraham, and perhaps Vardy instead of Rashford.

    Any comments are welcomed 🙂

    Cheers

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bench too thin for end of season IMO

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        and yeah i like Vardy, DCL option more

      2. LC1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I have been thinking this.. Robinson should play for a bit, so that gives me 1 sub. Probably need at least 1 more.

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Not sure about Robinson starting, is there a confirmation on O'Connell's injury? Last i heard was vack very soon

          1. Whats the Huth
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Last I heard. He might be out for the season

            1. PapaWengzz
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              opposite of what i heard

            2. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              May play against Newcastle ... ‘Playing down reports O’Connell is set to miss the rest of the campaign, Wilder said: “We’ll give them, Jack and John, as much time as possible as always. It’s a quick turnaround. They are two contact injuries, so not soft muscle injuries. It’s their attitude as to how they train.’

              1. Whats the Huth
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Well. This changes things!

          2. LC1
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I'm assuming he will play until O'Connells back

            1. PapaWengzz
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Which could be 0 games

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Like it, Robinson may not have his place for long, I would prefer vardy dcl but many going rashford

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        yeah none of his benchees start

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Robinson may play the rest of season. Depending on the o Connell news

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        June 19: "We have got a couple of issues - Fleck and O'Connell - hopefully they will be available for the game at Newcastle. Both have a chance of playing."

      2. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The Robinson bandwagon ended after the latest quotes. Might only get one game, max

    4. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If I go with Vardy and DCL, it gives me 0.2 to upgrade a defender to a started

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Go Vardy and DCL.

        Rotation is going to be bad

  10. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    After Cathcart unexpected benching who do you think is most nailed on watford defender?

    Kabasele?. watford has good fixtures and he could be decent bench fodder

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

      Think Kiko has been ever present under Pearson when fit - he just missed a bunch of matches through injury. Also most of their positive results featured him

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

        But I’d really look closely at Foster - think I’d prefer him to Pope

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Is kiko not nailed? He sure is cheap

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

        He's nailed, with Janmaat out

  11. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best combo on free hit?
    A) Digne Traore
    B) Van Dijk Saka

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It's close but A.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A) looks more fun for this week

  12. beric
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mane or Salah?

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Will know more after this GW

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mane.
      He is the best player right now

  13. Sir_Durs8
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Currently on a FH31, main problem is I have no bench in case of rotation. No Bruno as I figured Martial is a nice differential to use on the FH.

    A) TAA, Son & Vardy (0.0 ITB)
    B) AWB, Mane & Jiménez (0.9 ITB)

    This is the rest of the team.

    DDG (Martin)
    VVD, Doherty (Kilman, Simpson)
    Salah(c), Richarlison, Martial, (Guendouzi)
    DCL, Ings

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

      Get Bruno.

      1. Sir_Durs8
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        So B) and swap Martial for Bruno? Or get rid of Son for him?

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

          Yes, B with Bruno, Also consider TAA + Aurier over AWB + VVD, if affordable

          1. Sir_Durs8

            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Ok thanks. I don’t think Spurs will keep a clean sheet so I prefer the other option personally.

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

              I don't see Man U holding SHU either, but at least Aurier gives you attacking threat

              About the Spurs CS: it's more of West Ham's lack of potency than anything else, really. They have very poor creativity available (rusty players from long injuries) and their finishing has been bad for ages now as well

              1. Sir_Durs8
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I see Man Utd as the most likely team to keep a clean sheet next week after Liverpool so want most of my defensive coverage with them.

                I get what you mean about West Ham but still see them getting a goal somewhere.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Get Bruno

    3. Sir_Durs8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So this is the FH team I’d end with. Look good?

      DDG (Martin)
      VVD, Doherty, AWB (Kilman, Simpson)
      Salah(c), Richarlison, Mane, Bruno (Guendouzi)
      DCL, Ings, Jimenez

  14. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    At least every man and his dog has 2 SHU defenders do I don’t even feel 0.01% remorse when the toon batter them

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why-aye! Come on the TOON

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have got St Maximin as a BB punt so here's hoping

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Joelinton hat trick is inevitable

  15. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) VVD + Saiss + Nketiah (4-4-2, Saiss is 5th defender with TAA/Doherty/Maguire/VVD)

    B) DCL + Lord + Lascelles (3-4-3, Defence is Lord/TAA/Maguire/Doherty/Lascelles)

    Which is best? VVD has outscored DCL this season significantly

  16. 007 [RoboKlopp]

    Hi. Who is better options on wc?
    A. Maguire (442)

  17. n-doggg

    Thoughts on this:

    Martinez, 3.9
    TAA, Doherty, eghan, Taylor, lascelles
    Kdb, mane, alli, Bruno, guendouzi
    Rashford, jiminez, dcl

    0.0 itb. Downgraded son to alli to afford Doherty

  18. rohan

    Thoughts on this FH 31+ team?

    Martinez

    TAA. VvD. Doc

    Salah. Son. Bruno. Bergwijn

    Vardy. DCL. Jiminez

    Subs- Garbage

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You are going to need playing subs.

      No Kdb is likely going to hurt as well!

    2. Sir_Durs8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would prefer Nyland over Martinez as a cheap GK on FH as I feel the other game will have goals (Ings in my FH team). Otherwise, get DDG and replace Bergwijn/Son for Martial/Traore (1 of these, not both)

      Don’t think you necessarily need KDB on a FH next week. Rest of the season, of course he’s essential.

  19. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA,Maguire,Lascelles
    Salah, KDB,Fernandes,Sarr
    Jimenez,Rashford,DCL

    Leno,Saka,Lundstrum,Taylor

    A) roll FT
    B) Sarr > Son

      A

  20. Dacra

    Should I save FT? WC and BB left, not got a plan for them yet.

    Pope (McGovern)
    TAA - Taylor - Soy (Williams, Egan)

        Wc

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

          Yeah was just saying I have it left. It's either 1ft or save this week!

    2. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes you could get way with it. Depends if you Are happy to role with Auba again?. Has good fixtures.

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

        I think 1 more, then next week can downgrade him and upgrade someone else with 2ft, maybe Dendo to improve the bench or get a sub keeper that plays as part of preparing ready for BB..

  21. Old Gregg

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning,

    RMWCT Please

    Martinez
    Doherty-Taa-Lascelles-(Holgate)-(Ngakia).
    Son-Bruno-KDB-Mane-(Guendozi)

    Downgrade Somwhere to upgrade Martinez > Pope?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nowhere to downgrade inless like me you go son to alli or Rashford to Abraham

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Yes could do. Today will probably play some part in that Decision

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      On almost identical teams, I’ve been told ngakia’s contract is up soon. I have McCarthy c.taylor simpson salah instead of your Martínez holgate ngakia Mané
      Got taylor to cover pope

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Just had a read up NgaKia wants £20k a week. West Ham have offered £5k. Will have another look.

  22. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best starting/nailed defender for 4.3

    Not Lascelles or Taylor (already have Pope)

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Probably holgate or Kiko

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah. I’ve just spotted Holgate

        Let’s see if he starts today

  23. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Too many premium midfield options for this coming game week. Out of the below, who HAS ti stay and who should to go, in your opinion:

    A) Mane
    B) Salah
    C) Bruno
    D) KDB
    E) Son
    F) Sterling

    My Current WC template has Bruno, Mane, and Son.

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

      Gotta keep kev

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

        That the issue, they play Chelsea (away, of that even counts for anything) he could but I think less likely to outscore Salah, Mane, Son, Bruno this coming week.

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

      KDB stays. Bruno, M/S and Son (West Ham) too

      Sterling isn't on this list

      Mane/Salah: https://justflipacoin.com/

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

        Show me a decent team with 5 premium mids in it?!

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

          It's not 5, it's 4

          M/S + Son + Bruno + KDB. That's the template

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

            Ah copy. Yes, with sacrifices that will work. Going forward I wante vardy, Doherty and TAA. Will have to play about.

        2. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          4 premium mids and 3 premium strikers

        3. Hairy Potter
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Just threw this together

          Dubravka, Darlow
          TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Lascelles, 3.9
          Salah, KDB, Bruno, Son, Richarlison
          Jimenez, DCL, Greenwood

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Just GW31+?
      Son, KdB, Mane/Salah
      Maybe Bruno if you want a fourth.

    4. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im moving sterling on this week. Havent decided between Bruno and Son yet.

    Anyone with double WOL defender on wc?

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

      Have looked at it, but Doherty and Jota I feel is enough Wolves rep.

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Currently yes but contemplating saiss to aurier, got no other spurs

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

      Got them with the unlimited transfers. Can't see why not, tbh

    4. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Considering (Doherty+Saiss)

    5. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am toying with the idea of Saiss over Maguire alongside Doherty. Allows bench upgrades and money ITB. When I put the Wolves and Man U fixtures side by side I think the likelihood of clean sheets are almost the same. And I think Wolves as a team are better organised, more consistent and therefore more reliable.

  25. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Still tinkering with my threadbare WC bench combo. First 11 is super-strong so no rotation planned (in a perfect world none of them would sub on, ever):

    A) Nketiah, Lascelles, 3.9
    B) Lascelles, Kiko, Connolly

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood the best 3rd striker option in that price bracket?

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Already have 3 Man U in my WC squad as it stands, but thanks.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Probably B then

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not much of a difference imo. B gives you an extra option in case 2/3 of your 11 gets rotated.
      If you fancy Nketiah, I'd go A.

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all.

  26. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Son and saiss
    B. Alli and Doherty

    Current team

    Martinez, 3.9
    TAA, Doherty, eghan, Taylor, lascelles
    Kdb, mane, alli, Bruno, guendouzi
    Rashford, jiminez, dcl

  28. rdamjan

    On WC, which combo?

    A. Martinez, Doherty, Martial
    B. Pope, Maguire, Son

    Cheers

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years

    X Button
    X Lascelles Aurier Taylor X
    KDB Mane’ Bruno X X
    Jimenez DCL Rashford

    Which is better?

    A- Degea, TAA, Holgate, Berjwin and Saka
    B- Martinez, Robertson, Kiko, Son and Guendozi
