Ancelotti hints at start for Kean as £4.0m FPL defender stars in Everton victory

Sheffield United 0-1 Everton

  • Goal: Richarlison (£8.2m)
  • Assist: Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m)
  • Bonus: Michael Keane (£5.2m) x3, Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.0m) x2, Djibril Sidibe (£5.0m) x1

An early second-half goal from Richarlison (£8.2m) settled a fairly tedious affair between Sheffield United and Everton on Thursday evening.

Chris Wilder’s troops have been one of the best defensive sides this season, while the Toffees’ backline has impressed more than their strangely subdued attack since the restart.

Unsurprisingly, defences were on top at Bramall Lane.

Everton managed just five attempts on goal all match, while the hosts failed to register a single shot on target.

It was a bit of a shock when Richarlison broke the deadlock, in all honesty, such had been the dire fare served up in the opening 45 minutes.

The Brazilian, playing on the left of Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-2-3-1 in this match, met Gylfi Sigurdsson’s (£7.3m) 46th-minute free-kick to nod Everton into a lead they seldom seemed like losing.

That was Richarlison’s third goal following the mid-June resumption but Dominic Calvert-Lewin‘s (£6.1m) nine-match drought drags on, with the one-time popular FPL forward blanking and picking up a booking to compound his remaining owners’ misery.

He’s getting closer, at least: the mid-price striker thumped the upright with a close-range header just before the interval and then brought a decent save out of Dean Henderson (£5.2m) with a deflected effort just before the hour-mark.

Any mildly encouraging signs are way too late for many of us, however, and his ‘effective ownership’ in the top 10k was a telling 1.71% going into Gameweek 37+, a far cry from what that figure was before lockdown.

Ancelotti may have even signalled a start for Moise Kean (£6.3m) next weekend, saying of the Italian – who missed out on Monday with a minor injury – after full-time:

 I think it’s a small injury and he’ll be ready for the next game. If he is in good condition and recovers well then he can start [against Bournemouth].

At the other end of the pitch, the Toffees kept a clean sheet in spite of Jordan Pickford (£5.2m) rather than because of him.

The England international didn’t make a single save all game but caused unnecessary panic among his backline with his flappy approach to dealing with crosses.

Rather, it was the defenders in front of him who were due much of the credit.

Michael Keane (£5.2m) has been in fine form since the restart and was dominant in the air here, while special word of praise has to go to teenager Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.0m) alongside him, with the full debutant producing a commendable display in the face of some aerial bombardment from the Blades.

Everton’s two centre-halves and the returning Djibril Sidibe (£5.0m) mopped up the bonus points, which was a fair reflection of the game overall.

Branthwaite is a name to consider for those of us looking for a budget defensive option in Gameweek 38+ (if only for bench fodder duty), as he looks poised to start again at home to Bournemouth in the absence of Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.3m).

Ancelotti said of his young stopper after full-time:

I am a bit surprised how sometimes he makes mistakes, which you can expect at 18, but never loses control.

He is always focused and confident, this is the character a young player needs to have to improve and learn. If a player deserves to play, he plays, it doesn’t matter if he is young.

A start for £4.0m defender Branthwaite as Everton take on unchanged Blades

Sheffield United have been superb this season, both in terms of their impact on the Premier League and the bargains they have given us in FPL.

They seem to be running out of steam as they approach the finish line, however, which is understandable given how many fixtures they have had to juggle of late and how averse to rotation Wilder is.

This was the Blades’ tenth match in league and cup in the space of 33 days, with seven of his team starting at least nine of those fixtures.

Oliver McBurnie (£5.5m) has particularly looked jaded of late and with the influential targetman out of gas, the hosts’ threat up top was diminished.

Wilder indeed cited fatigue after full-time, saying:

I was pleased with the fight they put up, there’s a lot of tired bodies and a lot of tired minds out there but we went to the end. We just lacked that last little bit at the end to get us back in the game.

There was plenty of heart and desire in our performance, just not so much on the quality front.

Owners of Danny Ings (£7.6m) will have watched this match keenly but the Blades do at least have six days to recover before they take on Southampton in Gameweek 38+, which represents their longest rest period since football recommenced.

Meanwhile, Lys Mousset (£4.3m) wasn’t involved in the Sheffield United matchday squad amid rumours of a bust-up with his manager.

When asked about the striker’s absence after the game, Wilder said:

I don’t want to really comment about that situation at the moment, thanks.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Henderson; Basham (Zivkovic 82′), Egan, O’Connell; Baldock, Berge, Norwood (Lundstram 69′), Osborn (Sharp 60′), Stevens; McBurnie (Fleck 60′), McGoldrick.

    Hello everyone! According to you who will win the Golden Boot? Do you think someone will beat Vardy?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think Vardy will hang on. Ings could get a brace on the final day but I'm sure Jamie will pop up with one if he does.

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

        This !

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

      If Arsenal are on heat then I would possibly back Auba to at least draw level if not beat. 3 goals in two games against Villa and Watford doesn't seem that unlikely even if they are fighting relegation

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

      Auba will win it with back to back braces in his last 2

      Vardy wont score any more Ings will get one and miss out as well

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        and this is why I'm contemplating a hit to bring in Auba for gw38. Can't afford him otherwise.

    4. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years

      The scenes if Salah or Mane did it.

      Sorry for RP, bottomed. Who would you want in your team from below to captain for GW38:

      Mahrez (Dilva captain, +4 points)
      Sterling
      Son
      Salah/Mane

      Kane
      Auba
      Jesus

    8. Will J 256
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sorry to post this again, but which two options would you choose. VVD and Salah or Robbo and Mané?

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

        VVD and Salah

      2. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Robbo and Mane

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

        VVD and Salah. Salah's stats have been really strong and is a more selfish player. Sure a robbo assist may seem more likely but you never know when VVD is going to bag a random header!

      4. ted mcnure
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Mo and Virg for me

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

        The one with Salah. I do see a late GB charge by him 4 goals in 2 games is not a problem for the Egyptian king.

    9. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A) Mane & Long (triple Burnley defence)
      B) Salah & Branthwaite

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

        B

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

        A. Really don't back the argument for an Everton CS, I think the case against it is stronger

        1. ted mcnure
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pleased to hear that RS!

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

      Anyone captaining a non-City player in 38?

      I have triple attack but the rotation scares me....

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Possibly one of the Liv mids unless there's leaked City team news. But I'll probably chicken out and put it on Dilva.

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

        I am between Salah, D.Silva, or KDB... I have TC.

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

        Kane. Don't have to care about Pep roulette and if Tottenham decide they're gonna score 5 (which they often do in GW38) then $$$

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

          D.Silva will probably get 90 min.Kane is a good choice too. Very difficult to make a decision for GW38

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

            I'm chasing points hard so I think Kane is the obvious diff captain as the ceiling seems to be quite high

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

              yes, sure he is. He is in good form now and CP are veeeery poor. They played horrible today

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

            Would have to be 89 so he can take his curtain call

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

        Very tempted as I’m chasing. Depends on my gap when 37 completes

        It’s probably between Kdb & Kane right now

    11. bhh
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good stats I've just found out. In the last 3 'GW38s' there has always been an average of over 3 goals per game (3.6 last year, 3.1 in 18/19 and 3.7 in 17/18). A team has always scored 5 goals or more. There are usually between 4-6 clean sheets.

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

        There always seems to be one random game that has an early goal and then becomes a free-for-all. Good luck trying to predict which one though!

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

        City, right ?

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

      Narrowed it down (-4)

      Foden and Justin ➡️DSilva and Pieters
      Ings and Justin ➡️Jesus and Pieters
      Ings and Bruno ➡️Antonio and Auba ( playing Justin)
      Bruno or Justin ➡️Son and Mendy

      Thanks!!

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

        There are all good options but I would go A

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

        B

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

        A**

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

          Thanks both!

          Why get rid of Foden though vs Norwich!?

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

            I don't think Foden will start in GW38.

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

              This

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

        A. And by some distance. Foden probably starts midweek meaning he won't start the last game. If United get a result against West Ham, Leicester will have to go for a win (I assume Chelsea will get 1 point for sure in the last 2 games), exposing their makeshift defense. Ings and Bruno are in form. Ings chasing GB as well. No reason to take them out.

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

      Regretting Salah (C) big time right now. Should have gone with Jesus or Martial I reckon.... At least BB37 was a succes with 23 pts

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

        21*

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

          I think Salah is going to score big this week as he will GW38

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

            I hope so, but Chelsea will defend with blood, sweat and tears. So I find it highly unlikely.

      2. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I gave the armband to Dilva......talk about regrets

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

          I actually reckon he will play the next two. About 60 mins in each

    14. King Henrik
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Any advice on these 2 transfers. Plan to triple captain Salah if I decide to bring him in.

      Pope
      Trent Doherty Egan
      Kdb Mane* Pulisic Antonio Bruno
      Jimenez Ings

      Martinez Greenwood Saiss Masina

      1.Mane to Salah (And triple captain)
      2.Masina to Williams (Play Williams and bench Doherty)

      Really hope that made sense?

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

        Leicester will score. Williams isn't the best going forward either.
        Like the Salah pick. He's a good TC pick

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

        Get a Burnley defender

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

        im thinking of doing Mane to Salah for triple captain too.

    15. Nas
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Having to play my chips in a single gameweek added another element of strategy (though I consider my chips failures). I think moving forward it would be an improvement in the game to limit chip usage to single gameweeks

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

        Would definetely spread the usage of chips over more gameweeks. Kind of like that idea actually

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

      How does the following sound for a -4?

      Vardy, Foden, Pulisic OUT
      Kane, Dilva, Soucek IN

      Soucek/Greenwood bench. Will TC Dilva/Kane.

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

        I like it.

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

          Cheers! 🙂

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

        Sounds good. Why not Auba over Kane tho? Kneejerk?

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

          Just fancy Kane more. I almost did the Vardy to Kane this week but held off to save money to get Dilva for Foden.

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

      My rival put in two my strikers this week to block me to not over take him. one them being Ings. Should I do TAA Ings to Pieters Auba or Kane -4 I think he will do Vardy to Kane next week.

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

        If you think he'll get Kane, go Auba! No harm trying. If you don't have differentials, you'll probably lose anyway.

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

          This. But depends on how far behind you are

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

      What are the chances Dilva starting today? Rival has captained him

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

        Nobody knows

    19. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva rising ?

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

        I doubt it.

    20. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Barring injuries in the next few days this is my final FH side for GW38. Decided against Sterling given the array of options in midfield and the fact I won’t captain him.

      3-5-2:

      Martinez
      Aurier, Bardsley, Pieters
      Salah, KDB, Bruno, D Silva, Antonio
      Kane, Aubameyang

      Subs: Martin, Greenwood, Garcia, Williams

      0.1m left. What do we think?

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

        City yet to play. But yeah it looks good. Would personally get Sterling if he plays less than 80 vs Watford though. Instead of one of Auba/Kane

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

          And prolly Martial over Bruno

    21. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Really going round in circles with this. I'm in a tight mini league.

      Bruno and Mahrez
      Or Son and Antonio?

      The other players I have are:
      Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Kane, Auba.

      First option means I cover United
      Second option means less chance of Pep roulette

      1. Garam MOSALAH
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

      Lewis Dunk goal to ruin Burnley cs

      You heard it first here 😉

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

        Was he close today? Had him in my BB team for this week

          Last night*

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

          Didn't watch. Just a hunch.

          Dunk has a habit of ruining nailed on cs like he did against Arsenal liverpool chelsea and manunited by scoring Brightons only goal in each game

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years

        Says a lot about a team whose best attacking threat is a cb on set pieces

          Maupay

    23. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Best 4.0 defender (or less) for your starting 11?

      Branthwaite?
      Thomas?
      3.8 wonder Williams is on my bench, chances of him starting?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Williams if Ole gives any info on Shaw being out. Otherwise Branthwaite. Can't see Leicester keeping a CS

    25. panda07

      • 11 Years

      What would you change in this FH team? Taking a punt on owning both TAA and Robbo.

      Pope
      TAA Robbo Pieters
      Salah Bruno Dilva Mahrez
      Kane Jesus Greenwood

      Button Saka Williams Tanganga

        Looks good not sure both full backs will start for Liverpool. Need early team news have a back up plan in case they don’t start.

      Free hit team

      Decided against Burnley defence as I behind in mini league so got to try something different. Really need early team news as bench is very weak.

      What you think ?

      Probably captain Salah or Aubameyang depending on Golden boot race

      Martinez

      Tierney Aurier Jack Stephens

      Salah Sterling Dilva Martial

      Aubameyang Kane Jesus

      3.9 Branthwaite Williams Gilmour

        Looks solid. Gives me food for thought.

      Vardy, Pulisic > ...
      1) Rashford, Dilva
      2) Ings, Martial
      3) + Doherty > Auba/Kane, Dilva, Pieters (-4)
      4) + Jimenez > Auba/Kane, Dilva, Wood (-4)

      Have KDB, Bruno, Greenwood, Saiss already. I have TC left.

      2. FPL Theorist

        3 years, 8 months ago

        Probably 3. Leaning toward Kane right now, but maybe Auba will change my mind.

        1 is not bad if you don't want to take a hit though.

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I was prepared to take the hit, but I'm also not way out in front in my ML. And my rival has his FH. But that's also the reason I figured Auba or Kane, because he surely will have one of them.

          Sooooo, I'm at a loss.

    28. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thoughts on this FH? Unsure on Martial over Bruno & Digne.

      Martinez (3.9)
      TAA Digne Pieters (Lamptey 3.8)
      Salah KDB Martial DSilva (Luiz)
      Auba Jesus Ings

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        As someone who was recently burned by Digne, I would avoid. But that's biased. And it is Bournemouth.

        Could you do Tark instead?

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

          Yes

          1. jdp219
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Shocker below made a good suggestion of Aurier, too. I have him and will start for me.

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

        I would down grade Digne and upgrade KDB to sterling could be a goal feast v Norwich and KDB will give pens/free kicks to Dilva imo.

        Early teams news is important

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

          KDB wants assist record.

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

            ah ok never knew that thanks for that how many does he need ?

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

              2 or 3 I think

                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                He can break Henry's assist record (24 assists). Now KDB has 21 !

      3. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, I think Bournemouth will put up a fight and at least score. Prefer Aurier over Digne.

      hello dz, any early thoughts/suggestions?

      Pope, Martinez,
      TAA, Doh, Aurier, Stephens, Taylor*
      Raz, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Pulisic
      Rashford, Ings, Greenwood

      2 FTs, 0.1m itb. Burnt all chips

      Thinking of these moves -4.
      Rashford -> Auba/Kane
      Mahrez -> Dilva
      Doh -> AWB/Maguire

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

        Wait for the city game before deciding assets. If Mahrez and Folden play the easy move would be Mahrez to Silva.
        Your moves look solid though. But you could also consider downgrading Sterling and then saving on the -4

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

          you're right, forget about moving Sterling if he plays.

      Martinez
      TAA - Gomez - Pieters
      Salah(C) - De Bruyne - Foden - Martial - Fernandes
      Ings - Jesus

      McCarthy - Greenwood - Saiss - Holgate

      A) TAA + Foden > Alderweireld + Dilva
      B) TAA + Ings > Bardsley + Auba
      C) Foden + Ings > Dilva + Rodriguez
      D) KDB + Fernandes + Ings > Sterling + Antonio + Rodriguez (-4 hit)

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

        Why would you take out Ings when he's running for the golden boot? Or maybe it's strange that I'm considering putting him in..

        I would go with B but close shout between Auba and Kane

        D is too risky and little upsight honestly. Bruno and KDB singlehandedly can punish you.

        1. Bis_78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ings has consistently scored one goal in lots of games. He’s only scored twice in two games. I know he’ll probably score a hatrick if I get rid, but I think a good midfielder ie D.Silva, who will get the extra points for goals or a striker with a great fixture ie Auba/Kane, may be worth the risk.

          So confused

      2. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don't particularly like any option. Only Foden would be someone to offload IMO.

      • 11 Years

      At a loss of what moves to make this week.. Suddenly not looking wise FH in 37+ and TC in 38+

      Thoughts on these moves?

      A) Pulisic + Giroud -> Ings + Silva (-4)
      B) KDB + Giroud -> Silva + Kane / Auba (-4)
      C) Son + Rashford -> Silva + Kane (-4)

      My current team is:

      Martinez (Nyland)
      TAA Saiss Taylor* (Lacelles* Holgate*)
      Pulisic Mane KDB Son Bruno
      Rashford Giroud (Greenwood)

      Willing to go 2 ATB this week and take a hit for attackers instead

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years

        Shucks I'm sorry, I thought I could delete this...

      2. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        B

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

          Would you still make that move if KDB has reduced minutes tonight?

          1. BERGKOP
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Depends on your risk tolerance. I've gone without for a few weeks without damage. Any City asset could score against Norwich.

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

        I like A but like you mentioned to me earlier, depends on the minutes of city assets.

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

          Tbh I'm more set on A atm. Just waiting for the city game to end to make the changes.. Just not sure if it's wise going for Ings over Jesus / Auba / Kane

    33. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      At a loss of what moves to make this week.. Suddenly not looking wise FH in 37+ and TC in 38+

      Thoughts on these moves?

      A) Pulisic + Giroud -> Ings + Silva (-4)
      B) KDB + Giroud -> Silva + Kane / Auba (-4)
      C) Son + Rashford -> Silva + Kane (-4)
      D) Son + Giroud -> Silva + Jesus (-4)

      I'm just 0.1m short of doing Son+ Giroud -> Silva + Auba / Kane...

      My current team is:

      Martinez (Nyland)
      TAA Saiss Taylor* (Lacelles* Holgate*)
      Pulisic Mane KDB Son Bruno

      1. Bis_78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think I would go A or D

        1. Bis_78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I just don’t think Chelsea are as likely to score big.
          I think Son is great but it depends on how close he is positioned to the box. Tottenham only had about 37% possession in their last game.

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

            My issue with Pulisic is that I have to get rid of him and Rashford together to fund transfers. His value only provides me a swap with Silva. I do want to get rid of Giroud.

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

          Cheers man! I'll be monitoring the mins of the City game closely if I plan to do D tbh. Risk with Jesus though there's a certain upside to it too.

    34. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      0.5 m to spend on this defence. What to do?

      Martinez (fodder: Stekelenberg)
      VVD Pieters Long (fodder: Williams, Tanganga)

      Nothing obvious jumps out apart from maybe VVD to Robertson, or Long to Dunk?
