What to do with Man United’s FPL assets after laboured West Ham draw

Man United 1-1 West Ham

  • Goals: Mason Greenwood (£4.8m) | Michail Antonio (£7.1m)
  • Assists: Anthony Martial (£8.5m) | Declan Rice (£4.7m)
  • Bonus Points: Greenwood x3, Antonio x2, Rice x1, Mark Noble x1 (£4.9m)

Fantasy managers wielding the all-powerful Free Hit chip in Gameweek 38+ may have an easier time shedding their Manchester United players after Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with West Ham.

The Red Devils are set for a crucial Champions League clash at Leicester on the last day of the season, where they will face an injury-hit backline. Such a fixture had largely kept a number of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men in consideration for Gameweek 38+ squads, but two below-par performances, first in the FA Cup and then against West Ham, could reduce reliance on them for Sunday’s showdown.

In light of Wednesday’s tired display, the 30% ownership of Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m) may well be eyeing up midfield options at Manchester City or the funds to sign Harry Kane (£10.9m) this weekend. The Portuguese international put on one of his most anonymous performances since arriving in Manchester and, despite coming into Gameweek 37+ as the top 10k’s most popular captain choice, never really looked like getting an attacking return.

It is clear Fernandes is starting to suffer from Manchester United’s lack of rotation over the Project Restart period, his outing against West Ham showing just how exhausted he is physically and mentally. The evening could have gone differently for the former Sporting man as Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) curled an excellent ball into the box to match his early advanced run. However, just yards away from the West Ham goal he failed to control the inch-perfect pass and, from then on, it was all down hill for him. In the end, Fernandes’ frustrations boiled over in the second half when he was booked for going forehead-to-forehead with Arthur Masuaku (£4.1m). 

Was that enough to warrant selling him for Gameweek 38+ though? Looking at his 106 points in 13 Premier League matches for Manchester United, we know Fernandes is capable of delivering, especially on the road. In away matches since the Premier League restart, Fernandes has averaged 11 points per game and let’s not forget he hit the post at Crystal Palace too, so that total could have been even higher. Either way, his owners will need significant improvement from him at Leicester if he is to hold his own in a Gameweek 38+ squad.

The same could arguably be said for owners of Anthony Martial (£8.5m), although to slightly less of an extent considering a moment of nice link-up with Mason Greenwood (£4.8m) for the equaliser. Apart from that, the Frenchman was industrious if unspectacular with his efforts on goal but never really looked like scoring. Not only could he have provided more penetrative runs, Martial certainly suffered from the lack of creativity behind him. If United were to put on a similarly fatigued performance at the King Power Stadium, that would surely affect Martial as well.

His case for Gameweek 38+ is not particularly mitigated in the same way as Fernandes, considering he has been less profitable on the road recently. Despite averaging 13.3 points per game at Old Trafford since the Premier League return, but has scored just 4.8 per match away from it.

Rashford has a similar issue ahead of travelling to Leicester on the final weekend. He may have notched a 12-point haul at Crystal Palace but the FPL forward has blanked in every other away match since Gameweek 30+. Typically more reliable at Old Trafford, Rashford was the shadow of his usual energetic self against West Ham, another asset seemingly suffering from physical and mental exhaustion.

He tested Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m) with an excellent speculative knuckle-ball strike from distance early on, but outside of that could not trouble the goalkeeper and lacked his usual creativity in advanced areas too. Is that enough to warrant transferring him out to make room for some of the more in-demand Gameweek 38+ forward such as Kane or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m)? Perhaps.

As already mentioned, United do look as if they are limping over the Premier League line this season, but the biggest problem against West Ham was the lack of any creative spark, usually stemming from Fernandes and Paul Pogba (£8.3m). Neither one of them impressed at all on Wednesday evening, the latter especially. Not only did he have little to no impact going forward, he lost possession in the middle of the pitch often and it was his mindless lift of the hands towards Declan Rice’s (£4.7m) shot that conceded the penalty that cost United the win.

That goal afforded West Ham the confidence to press their illustrious hosts in all areas of the pitch, ask questions going forward and have the opposite impact on United’s attack. Therefore, it almost goes without saying that Fantasy managers will have a dilemma over Manchester United attacking assets over the next few days. In order for them to appeal to their owners against Leicester, they will have to make improvements in the coming days, even if the Foxes have defensive issues of their own.

Owners of Michail Antonio (£7.1m) are probably experiencing the opposite reaction to the United attackers. Aston Villa’s defensive showing against Arsenal had initially sowed seeds of doubt among the Fantasy community, but his latest display showed once again just how good his form is.

Not only did he cause Manchester United plenty of problems, helping the Hammers achieve a higher expected goals (xG) than their hosts, Antonio appears to have wrestled penalties away from Mark Noble (£4.9m) as it was the out-of-position midfielder who netted the first-half spot-kick. That goal took his total since the restart to eight, making him even harder to ditch for Aston Villa’s visit to the London Stadium.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) are likely to be in two minds ahead of Gameweek 38+. While he missed out on a start for the first time since the restart, the right-back does not look particularly under threat from the man who replaced him in the XI initially. Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) began the game in Wan-Bissaka’s place, but was ineffectual in the final third, and gave away the free-kick which led to the penalty. No wonder he went three years without playing for United and got relegated with Fulham last season.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; B Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah (Wan-Bissaka 46’); Matić, Pogba; Rashford (Ighalo 85’), B Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial.

West Ham United XI (4-5-1): Fabianski; Cresswell (Masuaku 75’), Ogbonna, Diop, Johnson; Fornals, Rice, Noble, Soucek, Bowen (Yarmolenko 90+1’); Antonio (Haller 78’).

    Appreciate any advice on the following moves. Will be priced out of some of these at deadline so need to make a decision now really.

    A: Pulisic Saiss > Dilva Pieters
    B: Vardy Son > Kane Dilva
    C: Vardy Son > Ings Sterling
    D: Son Doherty > Sterling Pieters
    E: Son AWB > Dilva TAA

    Current team:
    Martinez Martin
    Doherty AWB Aurier (Saiss Lascelles)
    Mane KDB Bruno Son Pulisic
    Vardy Jimi Greenwood

      B?

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I was leaning towards this move. But I seem to be the only one without Sterling! Worried about his threat.

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think C and D there. Depends on your league position and rivals, goals, etc though.

      For maximizing points without hoping a rivals differentials fail, etc, Ings and Sterling seem money.

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I am 50 points in the lead in my ML and my rival does not have Sterling atm. He also doesn't have Dilva or Kane

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn’t worry about your rival then. Maximize point potential, bring in Raheem.

          1. School of Poch
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            You might have convinced me. Watch Sterling get benched now and Dilva haul!

  2. FIRMINOLOOKGOAL
    • 9 Years

    1. Kane, Bruno
    Or
    2. Rashford, Son

    1. Will J 256

    Too many love for David Silva
    Is any good history performance stats for legend (Giggs, Terry, Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard, Scholes, etc) when he play his farewell match?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would be interesting to see - he’s never been a hauler, but I imagine he’s on any dead balls and will be happy to shoot perhaps more than his normal self.

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

        KdB also needs 2 assists to break Henry's assist record in EPL

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yep, which means KDB won’t be shooting the ball I imagine.

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

            Sterling will do the job to get his 20 goals target and reach 100 goals with Man City

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who got more pts than my Captain during gw36?!?

    3. E25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      There is a lot of love for him... maybe too much. But he is almost guaranteed to start, get a lot of mins, be on some set pieces (pens?), and by involved a lot of the play. He seems to get in the box a lot too.

  4. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Alright, I know a lot of rivalry posts, but is this 30-pt deficit possible to overcome? (I am on BB). Plenty of variation between us.

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

        I’ve done all I can to differentiate my team and have to rely on KDB/Sterling failing, which is an awful thought haha.

  6. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would you prefer Trent, Mahrez and Martial OR Robbo, KDB and Pulisic?

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Not much love for Auba?

    1. E25

      Hope not, would love him to be a big differential

  8. Uchiha

    Guys please I need help on my FH team.. Scared of not having Liverpool mid cover. Chasing 30 points as well. Thoughts on this FH team?
    Martinez
    Robbo Bardsley Pieters
    Mahrez Dsilva KDB Antonio Son
    Auba Kane

    1. E25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Does your ML rival have pool cover? If not, go for it. You have to go without some of their main players and suck it up if they go off.

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

        Thanks man...He actually does have Liverpool cover... Salah precisely

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Team similar to mine btw, looks good

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

    Pulisic + Jimenez --> Sterling (c) + fodder -4

    Crazy to offload Pulisic? Could go either way with the Wolves game. Bruno or Martial the other option but so hard to choose

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

      I would get rid of Bruno, Puli and Martial in that order

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    To mix things up,Sterling has scored 98 goals with ManCity.

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

    Hows this FH draft:

    martinez
    bardsley pieters kwp
    salah mane sterling dilva mahrez
    kane ings

    ..and bunch of non-league physios on the bench

    Thx!

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

      I don't see LIV doing much in the last game, may have a lot of rotation in the last game

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I disagree with Tony on mass rotation but wouldn't double pool. Captain Mane/Salah if you believe they'll go big. I like the team though

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

      Thx guys! Still some tinkering to be done!

  12. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1) Walker + Kane (-4)
    2) Mendy + Kane (-4)
    3) keep Jesus & Doherty

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

      1

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

    Rate my FH team please

    Martínez
    Pieters, Aurer, Bardsley
    Salah, Martial, Sterling, D.Silva, Moura
    Kane, Aubameyang

    Button, Nketiah, Williams, 3.9

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

      8/10 Downgrade Salah and Moura to Son

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

        Salah has to be high on the goals imminent table surely?! It’s not a bad call though.

  14. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Seems no one is interested in Antonio anymore?

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

      I would pick him over Pulisic

  15. World Top Ten.

    Who will be this year's FPL Champion?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Joshua

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

      This year's FPL is like PL last year when it's down to the wire. While last year's FPL was like this year's PL with the winner running away long time ago.

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go QOTSA!!

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

      Probably the fella with the wildcard in number 2 position but have a sneaky feeling magnus will pull a rabbit from a hat

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

      I'd imagine Chris would TC sterling (didn't check but assuming he owns him)
      Joshua has the advantage of unlimited changes but depending on how different their current teams are, could second guess himself out of winning

      Think Chris holds on....

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Triple Captain wins it for QOTSA I’d imagine

    7. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Chris has the advantage of TC in a week where there are guaranteed returns from many heavy hitters

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

      Hopefully 1
      But WC means 2 tbh

    9. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Best of luck Chris! Hope the TC produces the goods!

    10. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bull. The FH and TC chips are much overrated generally more likely to lose you points than gain them.

      1. RedLightning
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The TC chip only loses points if your captain gets a negative score, which isn't very often.
        FH and WC can sometimes lose you points, but more often should gain them.
        BB should gain points in the game-week it is played, but it can ruin your squad structure by spreading your money over 15 players instead of concentrating your spending on the starting eleven; it can however result in some big scores when used in a double game-week.

        Our expectations from them may often be too great and the outcomes can sometimes be disappointing, but they should all gain points more often than not when used correctly, especially in double or blank game-weeks - and when successful they can make a big difference to your season.
        AOA however was a chip that seemed to lose points more often than not, and it has rightly been replaced.

        There is also an element of luck with all of them, especially with the TC chip.

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

      1. Chris if Sterling scores big would be my guess.
      Unless Salah scores a hattrick against Newcastle.

    12. 2right
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If neither Ster or KDB hauls, then the winner will be the one that unearths 2 to 3 differential picks.

      Mahrez, Jesus, Salah capt look most likely different picks to me.

  16. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    Would you prefer Trent, Mahrez and Martial OR Robbo, KDB and Pulisic?
    On free hit.

    1. DRAFTSNAKE
      • 9 Years

      Trent. Anything with Trent. I have him in my team but dropped in him my free hit this week. My hole is still sore. But you can learn from my mistake.

      I like Vestergaard if you already have Pope, don't think the Burnley cleanie is as nailed on as everyone thinks.

      Dilva survives AGAIN

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

        Why is it a surprise? Most that have the luxury of buying are on FH which don’t count towards price changes. Those without FH have probably Sterling, Kane etc as bigger priorities.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yep very true - I went early last night on getting him & Aurier in for 2 FT to avoid being priced out by Dilva's price rise - probably didn't think about the FH aspect allright

  20. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would it be crazy to play a four back on fh?

    There’s lots of good defenders this week such as TAA, robbo, Laporte, aurier, and burnley defenders.

    I also really don’t like any forwards other than Kane and maybe Auba

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

      Tbh I think Liverpool will play a lot of bench players this weekend

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        thinking so myself too!

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers! Might have to rethink it then. Hopefully we get lineups before the deadline

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

            I watched the match and the body language of Salah and Mané coming off. Seemed like they knew it was the last hurrah. I’m interested to hear what others say/think

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

              Not for me. They were both pyssed off having not scored. Salah missed some sweet chances (as every week) and Mane seems always pyssed off.

              So normal conduct, for me, and both start (and hungry for goals) on Sunday.

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

                True that they never want to come off. Hmm I guess we’ll see!

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

      Tbh I wish I'd played 4 defenders all season, the forwards have been naff besides Jiminez, Vardy & Aguero when he was fit. Go for it. Obviously final days tend to be utter goalfests so technically it is normally the worst GW to play a back4 but this year hasn't exactly been normal...

    3. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Personally I think it is, but each to their own. You've mentioned 2 strikers you don't mind so I'd play a 3-5-2 if I was you.

      Not interested in Ings or Jesus?

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I don’t want an attacker vs Sheffield and prefer other city players to Gabriel Jesus.

        Not sure with Auba though. I’ve never had any luck with him. As bad as they are, watford will be fighting for their lives so I’m not sure if it’ll be that easy for Arsenal

  21. Bennerman
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    First time I've ever passed it live. Cheers TM

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

    Anyone concerned about Sterling's home form? Only 5 of his 19 goals at home this season.

    First impression is it must be a statistical anomaly rather than something meaningful, but it does make me think twice...

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

      Check last year(s)?

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would just look at his home form since the restart. He was a rubbish pick before it anyway.

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

      I wouldn't care at all, just stats – they have to fall one way. Especially when home/away has been taken away pretty much.

      But I wish I had him for last week, can't fit him in! He'd have my armband.

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. He’s been much better since the restart and he’s played much more away than at home since the restart.

    5. DRAFTSNAKE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's playing Norwich... I'll be disappointed if he doesn't get the golden boot.

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

        For that to happen he'd need to score as many goals as he has at the Etihad all season.

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

          Yeah Agree - he's a great option but everyone seems to think 3-4 goals is guaranteed...

          Wouldn't be surprised if he blanks tbh, has all the hallmarks of FPL misery

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

    Salah and Robbo or Mane and Trent?

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

      That's pretty easy - Mane is better than Salah and Taa is better than Robertson 😉

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

      I’m concerned about rotation for pool. Hoping to hear something from Klopp. I’m expecting a lot of bench players to start personally

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah now imo. Yet Trent has increased his set piece threat.

  24. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's this non FH? Will be able to defend a 50 point lead right???? Surely!

    Patricio
    Taa Tarkowski Aurier
    Salah KDB Sterling Silva Pulisic
    Ings Wood

    Martin Doherty Connolly Holgate

    He will have Triple Burnley def, Willian and probably Auba for my Wood, and Doherty in over Aurier

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

      Relax!

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

        Hahaha hi pal

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

      50 pts! surely you're safe (at least I'd hope so haha)

      I'm 1 pt behind my rival & he's still got TC chip - would you play it safe or take some hits in my position?

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

        Play safe for me

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

      You'll be fine. Prefer Pope over Pat tho.

  25. Garam MOSALAH

    RMFHT :

    Martinez Martin
    TAA Aurier Pieters Williams ****
    Salah Dilva Sterling Mahrez ****
    Kane ****

    A) Long Martial Nketiah (4-5-1)
    B) Egan Saka Ings (4-4-2 )

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

      Connolly is the third forward

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  26. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    We need a HT for all these RMFHT's?!?

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

      Especially as they're so template right?

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I mean they are so templatish, that we could name some and talk about FH4 compared to FH7...

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

        haha

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

          Yep... Hadn't noticed that you had written the reason faster than I did 🙂

  27. Mondeo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jeeez - just 1 point behind ML leader but he still has Sterling (TC) to go next week (I have neither :/ )

    Which would you do to counter?

    A) Doherty > Robertson
    B) Willian > Antonio
    C) Rashford or Ings > Kane (C) for a -4
    D) Other

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

      Not saying I wouldn’t captain Sterling but a Rash to Kane is a great punt imo

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

        I'd love to capt Sterling but don't have him - plus rival will surely put TC on him so might as well pray I can cover elsewhere.

        Cheers for the reply, am thinking hard about Kane!

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

    Hi guys. Last question! Would you rather have Mahrez or KDB and Pulisic or Antonio?

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

      Mahrez & Antonio

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez (just) and Antonio

  29. Bring back Rafa
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Trying to figure out which 3 city assets to get and also Son or Kane so;

    A) Jesus & Son
    B) Mahrez & Kane

    Fwiw Ive tried to decipher Peps Roulette and think Mahrez will get 90min and Jesus will start, but come off at about 60min

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

      Definitely B

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B imo

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

      I’d prefer B personally

    4. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  30. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    96 points and my best ever GW rank of just under 36k.

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

      nice one!
