Scout Notes

The FPL round-up: Foxes’ formation, Pulisic v Willian and a rest for Saint-Maximin

With the Fantasy Premier League deadlines hurtling by at a tremendous pace, we won’t be able to cover some of the Gameweek 33+ match reviews in the same detail as we normally would.

So, with time against us, we’ll instead touch on the main discussion points from Leicester City v Crystal Palace, Chelsea v Watford and Newcastle United v West Ham United in our abridged Scout Notes below.

Leicester Formation Change

With Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) having had a positive impact at Goodison Park in Gameweek 32+ when brought on as a second-half substitute, it always looked likely that the Nigerian would feature in Brendan Rodgers’ line-up at the weekend.

How Rodgers would accommodate two strikers into his side was the big question and his solution was to switch to a wing-back system for the visit of Crystal Palace.

James Justin (£4.7m) started the game as a right-sided centre-half with Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) used as a wing-back in what was a 3-4-1-2, with Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) supporting Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) in attack.

Ryan Bennett (£4.8m) was then brought on at half-time to play at centre-back, allowing Justin to move forward down the right flank.

Rodgers said of his system change:

We played 3-4-1-2, and firstly it was to get, defensively, a greater press and a higher pressure up the pitch, with Jamie and putting Kelechi up there as the two.

We played Ayoze Perez just behind and it’s about getting goalscorers into the game. We haven’t been scoring goals so that’s been the issue for us, and not being anywhere near as creative as what we would have liked. So we tried to get people who can score goals onto the field.

So with those three up front, the wing-backs… Marc Albrighton had to fill in as a wing-back but he did that marvellously well, and James Justin was up against one of the top wingers at this level, and once again he’s come through, he was defensively brilliant. There wasn’t much change out of Wilfried Zaha today.

Then playing with three defenders. When Ryan comes in, he’s a natural centre-half. James Justin started as that right-sided centre-half and he worked it very well in both positions he played.

It gave Ben [Chilwell] the chance to get forward that bit more as well, but still giving us security from behind with the three centre-halves, and the defensive midfield players. It worked well, the guys coming into the game worked very well. We showed a real mentality to not concede and to get our goals.

Vardy Drought Ends

Vardy scored his first goals of the post-restart era, registering just his third and fourth strikes of 2020 in Saturday’s victory.

In truth, the striker again looked short of his best for the majority of the match against Palace and he was indebted to a horrendous error from Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) to finally record his 100th Premier League goal, with the Eagles’ centre-half slipping in his own area and allowing substitute Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) to square it to an unmarked Vardy eight yards out.

Having wasted a number of clear openings before that goal, the weight seemed to be lifted off Vardy’s shoulders and he raced onto another Barnes pass in stoppage time to finish brilliantly.

A trip to an in-form Arsenal defence on Tuesday is not the easiest prospect but a rejuvenated Vardy perhaps looks a good one-week punt for Gameweek 35+ when the Foxes take on a leaky Bournemouth side on the south coast.

The New Zaha/Milivojevic?

Willian and Christian Pulisic (both £7.2m) were at it again on Saturday, combining for their third goal in two Gameweeks.

All three strikes have been free-kicks or penalties dispatched by the Brazilian for fouls on his teammate, with Pulisic this time winning a spot-kick against Watford.

The pair have plundered 63 FPL points between them since the restart, averaging 8.75 and 7.00 points per game respectively over the last four Gameweeks.

Pulisic looked a menace every time he picked up the ball against the Hornets and his manager said of the American after full-time:

He was playing very well, he got injured at the start of January and he’d been injured until the restart. But what he looks now is sharp and hungry and his quality is there for everyone to see at the moment. He’s going past players, he’s moving at pace, he always works very hard for the team in all senses to be fair.

So I’m very happy with him and considering his age, considering what could be coming from him, I’m very, very pleased and we’ve got ourselves a very good player and he’ll get even better.

Azpilicueta’s Assist Potential

Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) was benched at the weekend and, while he may return to the side in Gameweek 34+, it’s fair to say that there might be a bit of rotation in the full-back department between now and the end of the season.

While Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.0m) isn’t completely free of risk in that regard, his ability to play in either full-back position is to his advantage.

The Spaniard has started more games than any other Chelsea player this season (31 of 33) and he hasn’t been benched since Gameweek 14.

It’s now three assists in four starts for the long-serving full-back, who has created more chances (eight) than any other FPL defender since the restart.

The Blues will have a decent chance of adding to their clean sheet tally on Tuesday, too, with Palace having not scored in their last three matches.

Antonio and Bowen Shine Again

They may have been indebted to an awful error from Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m) for their attacking returns on Sunday but Michail Antonio (£6.9m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m) followed up their excellent displays against Chelsea with another promising performance in Gameweek 33+.

Antonio lashed home West Ham’s opener after Lascelles failed to deal with Bowen’s cross, with the Hammers going on to register a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United on Tyneside.

Antonio’s ‘out of position’ tag is a big attraction with some attractive fixtures against Burnley, Norwich, Watford and Villa coming up and he was again leading the line for the Hammers at St James’ Park.

Since the resumption in June, Antonio’s expected goal involvement (xGI) total is the best in the Premier League.

Bowen has also caught the eye.

On set plays and a creator of eight chances in the last four Gameweeks (three of them ‘big’ ones), he also regularly drifts inside from the right flank and pops up in central positions – note his opportunistic 31st-minute stab at goal from six yards that was only kept out by Martin Dubravka’s (£5.1m) legs.

He would have had a second assist, too, had Declan Rice‘s (£4.7m) second-half header not crashed against the crossbar; Tomas Soucek (£4.8m) followed up the rebound from that chance to score West Ham’s second.

Bruce Hints at Saint-Maximin Rest

After three double-digit hauls in four Gameweeks, there wasn’t to be any joy for Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m) against the Hammers.

At one point it looked as if the talented winger wouldn’t even emerge for the second half, having picked up a knock shortly before the interval.

The Frenchman was eventually hooked during the second-half drinks break and, after five starts in league and cup in the space of a fortnight, may now be finally handed a breather against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Steve Bruce said after full-time:

I don’t think I could ask him to go again on Wednesday, that’s for sure.

    Who scores more next two:

    A) Salah (bha, BUR)
    B) Son (bou, ARS)

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A for me, eventhough I was less than impressed with Liverpool yesterday. Bereft of ideas on how to breakdown Villa and loads of last passes in the final third pinged straight back at them. Spurs are worse which is why ive gone A. Unless Spurs show a different hand tonight...

    2. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      See how he looks tonight. Bournemouth have been awful though recently so Son might edge it.

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i'd say son personally. more minutes and Bournemouth.

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

    Got this team with 2 Free Transfers and .4ITB

    50pts behind leader.

    So what are my two changes?

    Patricio,
    TAA, Lascelles, Doherty,
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Martial, Saka
    Jiminez, Rashford,

    Button, DCL, Holgate, Robinson

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      dcl and jimenez to kane and greenwood

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would tend to agree with this and bench Saka

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

        Ive got 3 UTD already. So could sell Rashford but it eats up a transfer for a largely sideways move (though Frees up funds)

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          What about Salah and Saka to a combination of Mahrez/Son/Pulisic/Antonio/Willian

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A gamble is move Jimi. Highly owned with low ceiling. I would get Greenwood for sure in his place and push up Saka as you won't know when he plays.

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      really depends on their team as well

  3. juicewagz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty to Azpi? Have Saiss. GK/defenders are De Gea, Van Dijk, Aurier, Lascelles

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. His scoring was v good prior to Ars game. I expect him to resume.

  4. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Interesting info on Bruno vs Rashford penalty situation.

    "The penalties are just penalties," Rashford said. "We just decide at that moment who’s going to take them. As long as the penalty goes in, it’s no worries for me."

    Rotating takers with Bruno up next, it seems.

    1. Iggypop
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think it could of been because rashford hadn't scored recently, I think the next pen could be pogbas depending on the importance

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        yeah i'd agree that it was to get Rashford a goal. I think Fernandes is number 1.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sound like something the players who isn't first in line but was allowed to take one would say tbh..

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t understand why ManU do this penalty rotation. It’s stupid.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not if they keep scoring them

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Bruno looks like the best. Let him take the f#@cing penalty. Even Maguire could score, doesn’t make it right to let him take it. (I had Bruno(C).)

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            😀

      2. Supertrooper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Agree, Bruno the best taker by far. Who remembers how many pogba and rashford missed before bruno arrived

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford only missed 2 penalties out of 14 he took in his career.

          1. Supertrooper
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Which is considerably worse than Bruno % which is 90+% (think 21/23 before joining UTD).

            Not to mention from the eye test Bruno pk technique is way better (my opinion).

            1. Klaren
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Fernandes stats pre Man Utd was 20/22. But you also need to take into account the goalkeeper ability. There aren’t a lot of good keepers in Liga NOS, the only half decent keeper he scored a penalty against was Leo Jardim, who doesn’t have a PK save in his career.

              I’m not arguing that Rashford is a better penalty taker than Fernandes by the way but your initial statement suggests Rashford isn’t a good penalty taker which isn’t really true.

              1. Supertrooper
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                What % scored would constitute a bad pk taker for you? He has missed two pk this season out of (I think) 7. For me that is not only not good but terrible.

                1. Klaren
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Your bias is obvious as you look at this season’s stats with such a small sample size rather than overall stats so I don’t see any value in discussing this any further with you. Obviously Ole doesn’t agree with you though so you’ll have to keep watching Rashford take penalties.

                  1. Supertrooper
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    Of course am I biased with stats that have recently happened, that is what we do all the time with regards to fpl or football in general.

                    Again, you think a player who has already missed 2 pk's this season is a good pk taker? I don't but we can disagree, that is perfectly fine. Wish you well and many pts in fpl, cheers.

    What is the best move here guys?
    1ft, 0.2 itb.
    1) Lund-> Holgate/ Kiko
    2) Mount-> Foden/ Sarr for his next 3 must-win fixtures
    3) Rash Mount -> Greenwood Son for -4

      Save

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Probably not but see how A gets on tonight.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. Bournemouth up next.

  8. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Afternoon lads. Not been on much, twitter swallowed me up.

    Best move here?

    Dubravka
    Saiss TAA Doherty
    Salah KDB Pulisic Bruno Mahrez
    Jimenez Rashford
    Button - Kiko - Connolly - Ngakia* (0.6itb 1ft)

    A. Connolly to G'wood
    B. Jimenez to G'wood and bank the cash
    C. Rash+Jim to Kane+G'wood (-4)
    D. Salah to Sterling
    E. Dubravka out (city away)
    F. Hold

    Will consider a combination of two there. Also wondering whether to play Saiss (shu) or Kiko (NOR) given Norwich haven't scored yet

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Charming. And I came all the way from another tab

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      C or D.

  9. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This is gonna be an exciting GW!

    Lot's of hits being thrown around and probably a lot of rotation due to the tight schedule.

    Probably not the right GW to save FT but I don't see any single transfer that would make a lot of difference and I don't fancy a hit.

  10. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How is this for the coming gameweek?? I’ve got 1FT if need be

    DDG
    TAA, Doherty, Holgate
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Foden
    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL

    4.0 l Saiss, Saka, Fernandez

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You can easily hold, but that said, if you feel punty I can see why you might do Mo to Sterling or arrange a big striker spot for Kane then Vardy etc.

  11. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Real problem here lads. I left Vardy on the bench this GW, losing his 13 points. The problem is if he plays this coming GW, who do I leave out? I've got De Bruyne and Foden, Willian, Salah, Fernandes, Rashford and Greenwood. All bar Salah face hopeless defences. What would you do??
    🙂

    1. JurgenRodgers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pray for an injury lol

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I was praying for De Bruyne to stay on the bench last night. He/She doesn't listen to me (or He's jealous of my team). 🙁

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Willian has been reliant on Pulisic winning him pens and free kicks and hasn't been as involved in open play so perhaps him. Would have to be between him or Foden or just bench Vardy, though he does love playing Arsenal.

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

        You aren't wrong but honestly it's irrelevant what he's 'reliant on' as long as that keeps happening

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          True, and the way Pulisic is playing they'll keep winning penalties until teams start doubling up on him.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            That's four feet for him to trip over. Palace seem to be crumbling. Don't care how he scores against them - Wills stays.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bench Salah 😉

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Crazy as it seems, he's way behind the others on form, and he's quiet in away games. I'm leaning to making that decision.

    4. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hi Andy. That's really tough...honestly I think I'd bench Rashford. Greenwood probably deserves his place in your team more right now, and Villa have probably been the best from among the opponents these guys face this week.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Muddies waters ...... 😉

      2. Reedy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's assuming you want to play Vardy. It'd be him or Rash, for me.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          As I say, I've just lost his 13 points. It's a dilemma as Arsenal's defence seems to be a thing again.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Actually, he's done nothing away from home since GW18. Maybe starting him is chasing last week's points. Aarghh

            1. Reedy
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              That is a good point actually! Maybe it does have to be Vardy...

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah, I think I'll do that. He gets one last hurrah GW35 v Bournemouth, then Ings comes in to give me more headaches!

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

      Willian

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting that no one's suggesting dropping the kids, Foden and Greenwood.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      FYI Greenwood scores by far the lowest of that group in terms of minutes per expected goal involvement since lockdown (goes Willian, KDB, Rash, Bruno, Vardy, Salah, Foden, Greenwood)

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's interesting. But I think the fixture - Villa's defence swings it for him.

  12. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance Kane and Son get a rest tonight?

    1. JurgenRodgers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Couldn’t see it

    2. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mou not a big fan of resting players.

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      it's one of the draws to Son and Kane (particularly Kane), they always seem to start and rarely get subbed early. Chance of points right to the death (as we saw last GW).

      Are you definitely happy keeping Kane after Bournemouth?
      I'd probably lean on A, but Jimenez starting to feel a bit spent.

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

        Moving Kane on to Vardy for the subsequent game week seems a simple move.just chase whoever faces BOU

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          this. Going to be my mini league chasing tactic from now on.

          1. Baron Penguin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Absolutely this! Doing Salah and Jota to Kane and Foden with 2FT then Kane to Vardy next GW. Upside chasing!

    2. juicewagz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You sure you want to take Salah out for Kane? Salah always does well against easier teams. Spurs look pony.

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

        Targeting Bournemouth

        Kane may become vardy who plays Bournemouth next.

        Happy to lose salah. Season pettered out so willing to do it

  14. juicewagz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How do I get KDB in? Have 1FT and 0.8 in the bank.

    De Gea, Button
    Doherty, Saiss, Van Dijk, Lascelles, Aurier
    Salah, Martial, Pulisic, Foden, Alli
    Kane, Greenwood, Jimenez

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      salah to kdb

      1. juicewagz
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would you do that? Salah against Brighton is tasty.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          His away form is not great and he'll soon be rested.

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No it isn't
          Brighton are fairly tight at the back

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB benched every 2nd match. I would just keep Salah.

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

      Salah Alli ( unlikely to play tonight with hamstring injury) to KDB Mahrez-4

  15. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What are the chances of an Aurier hatty, cleanse and full bonus tonight lol:-D

  16. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Suggestions on best approach to convert DDG in to a man utd attacker. 1ft

    Ddg
    Taa • Doherty • Holgate — Kiko Lamptey
    KDB • Salah • Bruno • Pulisic — Guendouzi
    Rashford • Dcl • Jimmy

    A: Save FT and do DDG // Guendouzi // DCL >> Patricio // Foden // Greenwood (-4) next gw...or get martial too inplace of Rashford

    B: Salah + Jimmy >> Mahrez + Kane (-4) and next gw DDG/DCL > Patricio/Greenwood (-4)

    Really like B as i am scared off only having 1 city attacker and no spurs coverage. However, it means to back to back hits which isnt ideal. Any other ideas?

  17. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My current team. I done early transfer Mane-> Martial

    Pope,Martinez
    TAA, Aurier,Wan-bissaka,Lascelles, J. Robinson
    Bruno, Martial,KDB,Son,Saarr
    DCL, Jimenez, Nketiah
    Bank: 4.3m, FT: 1

    A . Sarr -> Pulisic
    B. DCL -> Jesus
    C. DCL, Aurier -> Kane, saiss(-4)
    D. Sarr, DCL -> Pulisic,Jesus(-4)
    E. Sarr,DCL -> Kane, Foden(-4)
    F. Save Transfer
    G . other

  18. Sid07
    • 9 Years

    Thoughts on below (Other United player are rash and bruno)

    Dcl + guend + Maguire to greenwood + foden + digne (-4)

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If DCL and Diggers do nothing to change your mind tonight, I'd go for it personally.

  19. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hard to second guess Pep, but worth me starting Foden over DCL again mid week?

    Surely him and KDB need to start vs Newcastle and DCL form has nosedived.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      See my comment above re proviso tonight, but I'd be inclined to agree.

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's stupid to guess but we'll still do. I think Foden-Sterling-Mahrez with KDB behind them. The Silva's and Jesus played full 90. They'll be benched imo.

  20. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Flying since lockdown , no pressure more risks. Makes me think this is the way to play the game. Tough when you are in a ML with a lot at stake though

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm top of my cash ML with rivals breathing down my neck. Was trying to be cautious but blew it by captaining Mahez when I had Fernandes. Goddamit!

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Tough decisions , mix a little you are still likely to need a few out of the box moves unless far ahead, gl

  22. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's my team looking for GW34+. I have 1.5m itb and no FT
    Pope, Martinez
    TAA, Doherty, Taylor, Lascelles, Robinson
    KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Son, Richarlison
    Rashford, Jiminez, Greenwood

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like benching headaches

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, but will probably bench Richarlison depending on how he plays tonight

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah it's a positive problem

  23. soup natsi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Play Jack Robinson (v WOL) or Saka (v LEI)

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone fan of this move?

    Salah & Jimenez to Kane & Son for -8? Would captain Sterling though.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      100% no for me sorry 🙂

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No, If Kane cpt then maybe a -8 should always be for a Cpt choice imo

      Not for -8

  25. Fit_to_drop

    Is Greenwood going to rise again from 4.5?

    1. Shankly611
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, 99% sure he will.

  26. Shankly611
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you sell Mane for Sterling?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think I would. Mane might be rested given that he's played all the games since lockdown!

        • antis0cial
          • 7 Years

          Nope! KDB Son or Bruno. Son is tempting if he looks good tonight.
