Blades back to their best in defence as Pulisic and Willian are finally blunted

Sheffield United 3-0 Chelsea

  • Goals: David McGoldrick (£5.4m) x2, Ollie McBurnie (£5.5m)
  • Assists: McBurnie, Enda Stevens (£5.1m)
  • Bonus: McGoldrick x3, McBurnie x2, Dean Henderson (£5.2m) x1

Sheffield United kept all manner of European permutations open, for themselves and others, with a resounding win over Chelsea.

Champions League football remains within the grasp of the visitors, and still not impossible for the hosts, after a 3-0 victory that showcased the best of the Blades and the worst of their opponents.

There was a time, in a galaxy far, far away, when Chris Wilder’s team emerged from lockdown as if already on the beach.

Since then, an unbeaten run of four matches involving wins over Spurs, Wolves and now the Blues, has been a stirring declaration of their intent to finish the season as well as they started it.

Two goals from David McGoldrick (£5.4m) – his first in the Premier League for the Blades – and one for fellow striker Ollie McBurnie (£5.5m) saw off a Chelsea side heavy on possession but light on pretty much everything else.

Frank Lampard’s men had 74% of the ball, and 64% of possession in the final third, and yet United matched them for penalty area touches (19) and shots on target (four) – a classic example of it ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it.

The way the Blades do it involves a concerted team-wide effort to press the ball, from back to front, and that hustle was in evidence when they took the lead in the first half.

Jorginho (£4.9m), making a rare start, was immediately put under pressure as he attempted to bring the ball out of his own penalty area, a cross was swung in and McGoldrick scored on the rebound after Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.4m) made a fine save from McBurnie’s deflected shot.

That combination benefited just 0.5% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers because, let’s face it, hoping for major returns from Sheffield United strikers is the stuff of Fantasy.

Instead, the out-of-position delights of John Lundstram (£4.6m), who made a welcome return from injury with a 27-minute cameo yesterday, and regular points from his fellow defenders have been the way forward this season.

A second straight clean sheet meant solid returns for the likes of George Baldock (£5.0m and 11.5%-owned) and goalkeeper Dean Henderson (£5.2m and 15.9%), with the latter bringing in extra points from four saves and a bonus.

Of those four stops, all were of the regulation variety as Chelsea’s well-owned forward line of Christian Pulisic (£7.3m and 11.7%) and Tammy Abraham (£7.4m and 14.7%) never got into the groove, managing just the one shot on target between them.

The Blades were considerably more ruthless, and their second goal was as simple as it was effective.

The 213,000+ managers who had bought into the free-scoring Willian (£7.3m) for the Gamweek did so not for his defensive prowess, which was just as well when he was left baffled by a one-two that released Enda Stevens (£5.1m) on the left.

The wing-back put over a cross straight onto the head of McBurnie, who buried the chance in the bottom corner.

That was a second assist in four Gameweeks for Stevens, bringing in a nine-point haul on the day. He’s had a remarkably consistent campaign – his 139 points have him fifth in FPL’s defenders standings, but he’s not had a double-digit return all season.

That level of understatement might explain why he’s owned by just 3.6% of Fantasy managers.

Lampard had seen enough by half-time, swapping from four at the back to a formation, involving three centre-halves and wing-backs, that matched up with United’s.

It stirred a revival, of sorts, after the break, but as they pushed for a way back into the match, so they left themselves more vulnerable to a counter-attack; a situation the hosts were happy to exploit all night long.

McGoldrick was on hand to take advantage of one such break when he steered home a cross from substitute Lys Mousset (£4.4m) that Antonio Rudiger (£5.9m) made a horrible mess of clearing.

The pair then combined to expose Chelsea again, only for Mousset to dink the ball over Kepa but wide of the post after being sent through by his partner’s pass.

Conceding four goals would have been harsh on Chelsea, but they’ve been defensively poor all season, with seven clean sheets overall – only three teams have a worse tally – and just the one shut-out in 18 away games.

Lampard, post-match, acknowledged his side’s shortcomings.

They’re disappointing goals, mistakes that led to goals, individual errors, and if you do that you will lose football matches against good teams. They were better than us physically, in the mind and with the ball, so you lose the game. They were stronger than us. We don’t have crowds at the minute so you hear every voice and all I could hear was Sheffield United voices, so they were stronger in that sense.

He then attempted to shift focus onto a future which will involve a mighty fight to secure a Champions League spot.

I’m concerned about how we performed and I learned a lot about that. We cannot approach Norwich or Man United or Liverpool or Wolves in the same way we did today.

The home match-up with now-relegated Norwich on Tuesday will surely persuade most Fantasy managers to hold onto their Chelsea assets for one Gameweek more.

The Liverpool and Wolves fixtures that follow could be an entirely different matter, with the misfiring Abraham a particular concern for his owners.

The striker has just a goal and an assist to his name in the six matches since football returned, and he’s blanked in both of the games he’s started.

Only an emphatic display against the Canaries is likely to halt the five-Gameweek run of net sales he’s endured.

The opposite is true of Sheffield United’s key players.

Excitable press conference questions talked of the team’s Champions League prospects, but Wilder was never going to be so emotional.

It’s dangerous to get carried away – the game finds you out if you take your foot off the gas, but the players are enjoying the challenge and Leicester we will have to roll out another big result.

Instead, he reiterated his faith in keeping things tight at the back.

I am not embarrassed to talk about our defensive record. You have to get it right defensively to stand a chance of getting it right at the other end. We have to have a structure and an identity – players have to have a desire to put their bodies on the line and defend properly and we did that.

Three wins and a heap of other results going their way will be required for United to secure a Champions League spot, but the key point is that the side is clearly in form and up for the fight.

That should make their defensive assets particularly attractive, with trips to Leicester and Southampton and a home match against Everton perfectly reasonable shouts for more clean sheets.

And could even Lundstram bring in some more points for his 29.3% ownership? Sweet dreams are made of these…


Sheffield United XI (5-3-2): Henderson; Basham (Jagielka 68), O’Connell. Egan, Stevens, Norwood; Baldock, Berge (Lundstram 63), Osborn; McGoldrick, McBurnie (Mousset 63).

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga; James (Hudson-Odoi 75), Christensen (Rudiger 45), Zouma, Azpilicueta; Barkley (Loftus-Cheek 78), Jorginho, Mount (Alonso 45);  Willian, Abraham, Pulisic (Giroud 66).

    Jesus Ings

    All the feedback is welcome!

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks good.
      Not sure about Digne.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very similar to my free hit draft, perhaps unsuprisingly as tripling up on city and chelsea is a bit of a no brainer. I'm not keen on Digne after Evertons perfomance today, am considering aurier instead or maybe enda stevens, have you thought about giroud?

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have but prefer Jesus Ings.
        Obviously still not sure with the City choices. If I take two of Dilva Foden Sterling in midfield, I might change Jesus to Giroud

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

    Martinez
    TAA Boly Saiss
    Salah KDB Martial Bruno Pulisic
    Vardy Rashford

    (Button, Taylor, Lamptey, Nketiah)
    0.2 iTB, 1 FT

    Any suggestions with this team? Probably need to get City and maybe additional Chelsea player for a hit/hits but not sure what move to make.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depending on how Man u do tomorrow, you may have to transfer out Salah or KDB for Dilva or Foden

  3. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What's does people think about Jorginho performance against Sheffield? Looks like he is slowing the play down which may affect how Chelsea attack

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's useless in a team that wants to be attacking.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If he is playing Norwich, not good.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I agree. Lampard's interview doesn't bode well for Jorginho but who does Chelsea have that's fit and can play there?

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

        Kovacic

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think earlier this season he played Kovacic, Kante and Barkley. Kovacic just coming back from injury. Kante is out.

  4. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best option for the rest of the season

    A. Salah
    B. Mane

    Assume both play 270 mins over the last 3 games

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The one that's been the better option for the past 35 games 😉

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

        You’re can’t vote for yourself mate..

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

          You can’t *

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

      Salah as he is trying to get the Golden Boot, probably won't give up on it yet. Mane doesn't seem as motivated to score after winning the title.

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah does better against more attacking teams while mane does better against defensive teams typically so A

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

    Should I do KDB to DSilva for a hit this week!

    This move will allow me to get Auba in GW38 for free

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

      No

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        why not? good moves i'd say

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Debating the same move, along with Vardy > Giroud

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

        Damn. I'm planning to get Giroud too! Iheanacho to Giroud!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Haha! then we can bask in points if he starts, really fancy him to start and do well if Lampard "learning a lot from that game" is anything to go by. He was winning with Giroud starting.

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

            I know! Giroud has been really good since the restart and Tammy has been very poor!

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      no

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Again why?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          not for a hit, I don't think Dilva scores enough points to cover the hit

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ahh ok, i'm still gonna go for it, he scores heavier than KDB usually when they both start anyway

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you think City don't get many penalties.

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

        Don't you think, if City get a penalty in GW38, they'll let Dilva take it!?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          GW36 is the next GW.

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

            Haha yes that's right! Just worried about KDB's minutes over the next couple of games! DSilva can easily get all the remaining 3 games!

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

              Also KDB's FPL potential decreases significantly when he plays alongside DSilva!

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                You know the answer then.

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

                  Cheers TM

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          they would for sure i reckon

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not saying City will lose to BOU but look what happened when FPL teams took hits to bring in Kane, Son and Vardy to play against BOU, it hasn't worked out as expected. BOU will be up for it after the win last night

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

        Really good point! But City are no Spurs or Leicester. Yes they lost to Chelsea & Southampton. But look at the other games against weaker teams! They've been scoring for fun!

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          yes but this weaker team has something to play for...survival on the EPL!

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            in the EPL*

  6. SH
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thought about this WC? Still have BB left. Downgrade Salah to Pulisic/William/Antonio?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years

      KDB is an uncertainty

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

        I think he is going play 2 of the 3 matches at the very least. The fixture is too good not to take 3 city players

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          it's also too good to risk bigger players

          1. SH
            • 9 Years

            Any alternative suggestion?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why not Dilva in this week? Why Jimi over Vardy out this week?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I wouldn’t drop any of my mids for him this week..! And it could be either or I get rid of.. I will be benching who I keep anyway lol

        Thanks for the response you like the moves otherwise?

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Its a good thought process, just seems like this week is the week to plan for a Dilva move

          Who knows whats going to happen in a week

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

    So imo I feel wolves are up for the fight for a champ league spot more than Leicester so by that reckoning and how wolves games are slightly easier would it be wise to keep Jimi and sell Vardy for Ings whom I really wnat for the nxt two games at least.??

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think Maddison and Chilwell gone has really affected them. I think they're both back next week though? Not sure

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

      you'd think todays game will be a big kick up the ass for LEI

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      its pereira who they really miss

  10. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jimenez + Mooy --> Ings + Dsilva (-4, BB played)

    Looks good for a hit? Only worry is Lascelles playing against Spurs but could get a dud from Mourinho again

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Great moves

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate

        The other option i guess would be Vardy + Mooy --> Jesus + Willian

        Which would you prefer? Jesus is a risky one to get in for a hit

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That is another good move but Jesus just isn’t guaranteed to start.. and I think the other 2 defo are this week!

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

    % chance they start v BOU:

    1. KDB
    2. Mahrez
    3. Foden

      Mahrez and Sterling will be benched play limited mins be saved for FA cup I cracked Pep finally

  12. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    why are people saying KDB is an uncertainty if he got subbed off early? This usually means he'll start the next game

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He got subbed of earlier vs Arsenal and was benched vs Burnley

    2. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      twice this season he's been subbed off early and been benched the next game so it's not impossible.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      well that didn't happen when Sterling was subbed at 58 mins in GW33 and started from the bench on GW34

  13. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone selling KdB for Dilva this week or Salah for Sterling?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

      I'm planning to sell KDB for DSilva

      Neither.. Decided to do Vardy to Jesus as I believe Salah + Jesus will outscore Vardy + Sterling

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

      sterling will start on the wing. Bernardo has played midfield the last 2 starts.

  16. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which move should I make for GW36 Got KDB Foden Pulisic

    A) Rashford > Giroud Free

    B) Salah > Antonio/ Willian Free

    C) Foster Rashford > Jesus McCarthy -4

    D) Salah Rashford > Jesus Willian -4

    E) Salah > D-Silva Free

    1. Begbie.

      Don't like any of them.

    Why ppl selling kdb?lol

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      Isn't it obvious?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nooo. I think he will start

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nope it's not

  18. camarozz

    Such a high this wk end getting Antonio(c) in, rising frm 5th to 2nd in ML for my rival in 3rd to get Sterling(c) in a his FH to go 1st by 23 pts.
    Kinda like a kick in the nuts really

  19. 20 Timess

    Should I do Martial to DSilva this week?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t you even dare.

  20. Jòse

    Who are the best City players on free hit?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Foden

      Only attacker guaranteed to start

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Dilva doesn't attack?

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm thinking Jesus, Sterling and Dilva at the moment. Think Dilva and Jesus start and Sterling may not start but is most explosive player if he gets half an hour run out.

  21. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Ings, Foden
    B) Jesus, Antonio

    Best option on free hit?

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

      A

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

    3. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  22. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ok I will get on board with Giroud.

    Lascelles and Jiminez to Tarkowski and Giroud -4?

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

      Are you using BB?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah

        1. Saka Rice
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Why Giroud and not Pulisic who wont get rotated?

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Got Pulisic

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

            We'll have early team news for this game! And whoever is getting Giroud (including myself) are getting him for one week punt.

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

          Still I wouldn't do Lascelles to Tarkowski for -4. Would play Lascelles and hope he gets CS against Mourinho's team

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Fernandez and Lascelles on my bench will destroy my bb I feel

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

              How much budget you have for the defender?

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                5.3m but got 3 utd

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

                  Go for it then! Maybe James if he starts? Higher ceiling!

                  1. Dynamic Duos
                    • 10 Years
                    3 years, 8 months ago

      comment_date#hc_comment_22093398

      From not a great pick at all to on board in an hour?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Lol can't find anyone else and not everyone can be wrong lol, plus 3 goals since the restart ain't shoddy, I just can't expect a massive haul.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          So you are picking him for one gameweek only? They play Pool and Wolves after Norwich. Doesn't seem like the best idea for a hit

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I would actually play him v Wolves tbh. Jesus the only good replacement for Jiminez?

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Ings, greenwood.. Personally I am keeping Jimenez

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Lol my front line is Ings Greenwood Jiminez

          2. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Plus the hit is for the defender and want to tap into that Burnley defence i think

  23. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    who scores more: in next two:

    1. Pulisic (NOR liv)
    2. Mahrez (BOU wat)

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1

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

      1

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Close call as I expect Pool to shutdown Chelsea

  24. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Why doesn’t moving Ings in for Jimenez feel right?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As Jimenez has Palace after Burnley

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

        Would you make that move to fund Mane to Salah?

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im keeping Jimenez

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keep him then.

    4. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I feel the same but apparently he has a kid due soon too so it’s in the back of mind

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

        Lol. This has gone on for absolutely ages....

  25. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    They will both be first on bench anyway but which one to get rid of first?

    Jimenez
    Vardy

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do you need money? Work off 37/38.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If your going to get rid of both before gw37 then sell Jim first

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You're

  26. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez or Sterling to DSilva (C)?

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

      Mahrez

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not Sterling.

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

        This

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think mahrez gets a rest this match

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Sterling

  27. FlyingWithoutIngs
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with this team 2 Fts

    McCarthy
    TAA Aurier Doherty

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic or Giroud

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

      Giroud & Giroud

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pulisic and Pulisic lol

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

          I think he'll be captained by many!

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            ML many don't have him

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

              Haha nice! I hope it pays off for you! GL mate!

              1. Dynamic Duos

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Brave but dont like fact he plays only about 60 mins

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

          Yes good point. Very risky!

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Prolly going safe with Bruno

  29. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you guys make these moves for free?

    Mane to Salah
    Jimenez to Ings

    Assume all players play 270 mins over next 3 games.

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

      ?

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

        Yes

  30. spamking
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If Alonso starts why are people tempted? Chelsea's defence is trash??

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

      If you find out, please let me know.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Norwich defence and attack is more trash.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      attacking potential but CHE defence is poor especially if Kepa Keeps his place. After Lampards interview, I expect Caballero to start

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Attacking returns and Norwich have no firepower
