The best midfielders for FanTeam’s €1m Premier League Fantasy game


Sponsored by FanTeam


Fantasy Football Scout are partnering with FanTeam, Europe’s biggest daily Fantasy sports platform, in 2020/21.

We’re paying particular attention to their season-long Premier League Fantasy game, in which there is a €1m prize pool – €200,000 of which goes straight to the winner.

It’s an appealing proposition as it’s a game close in style to FPL (and therefore easy to pick up) that comes with the chance of a huge windfall:

  • A starting XI built from a 15-man squad
  • One free transfer a week
  • Price changes
  • Captains and vice-captains
  • £100m budget
  • Maximum of three players per club
  • Two Wildcards a season
  • Very similar scoring system (three points for an assist, four for a clean sheet etc)

Entries cost just €25 per team, a payment you’ll make up by finishing in the top 5,659 places (see below).

We had previously given you a rundown on how to play the game, so now we turn our attention to the player price list.

Having already provided an analysis of the standout goalkeepers and pick of the defenders, we switch focus to options in midfield.

HOW MIDFIELDERS SCORE POINTS

Before we delve into the player pool, here’s how midfielders can accrue points in FanTeam and how the scoring system differs from FPL:

FanTeamFPL
Playing up to 60 mins+1+1
Playing over 60 mins+2+2
Lasting the full match+1 (on top of the two points above)n/a
Clean sheets+1+1
Goals scored+5+5
Assists+3+3
Bonus+1/-1 “impact points” if a team is winning/losing when the player is on the pitch+1/2/3 based on Bonus Points System

There are ways to lose points such as own-goals, yellow cards and sendings off (we’ll refer you to our ‘How To…’ for more details) but the above table gives a flavour of where you can expect the positive points to arrive from in FanTeam.

Here is a selection of the highest-scoring midfielders from FanTeam last season and their respective points in FPL:

*now a FanTeam forward in 2020/21

One aspect that immediately leaps out is that, unlike in defence, many midfielders are better off in FanTeam than they are in FPL.

There are two reasons for this: the “impact points” (i.e. winning/losing bonus) and the extra points midfielders and forwards get for completing a match.

In most cases, this offsets the loss of FPL’s Bonus Points System and particularly rewards players who are rotation-proof and play for one of the more successful sides in the division.

Seven of the top eight assets for points per match in FanTeam last season were midfielders, so it’s worth paying close attention to this band of players.


PLAYERS TO CONSIDER

RAHEEM STERLING

Right off the bat we’ll say that yes, we are fully aware that Manchester City blank in Gameweek 1.

But beyond that, and especially for the favourable fixture swing from Gameweek 10 onwards, Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) does immediately leap out of the premium midfield pool.

Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.5m) are identically priced in FPL and are tougher to split as a consequence but the considerable saving made on Sterling in FanTeam might make the decision a little easier.

The Belgian is widely seen as the more ‘nailed’ of the two but Sterling wasn’t too far behind him, with the breakdown of their run-outs listed below:

PlayerPlayed 60+ minutesPlayed the full match
De Bruyne3220
Sterling2919

De Bruyne did average more points per match than Sterling in FanTeam last season (7.46 v 6.45) but the England international did, of course, have an uncharacteristically lean spell for a sizeable chunk of it.

His post-lockdown form (nine goals and four assists from Gameweek 30+) has certainly rekindled interest and he hit at least 30 attacking returns in his previous two campaigns, so certainly has the pedigree to improve on his 2019/20 points return.

His expected goal involvement figures also suggest he was hard done by, particularly when it came to assists.

Indeed, just six of them arrived in 2019/20; he had averaged 15.3 per year over the previous three seasons.

DEPENDABLE STARTERS – AND FINISHERS

The rewards for finishing a Premier League game in FanTeam opens up a whole new avenue for points.

Players we might have only half-considered in FPL are suddenly that bit more attractive in FanTeam: take James Ward-Prowse (£6.5m), for example.

A modestly appealing option in FPL thanks to his dead-ball expertise, Ward-Prowse’s durability and Ralph Hasenhuttl’s reluctance to rotate him adds to his allure in FanTeam.

He and Declan Rice (£4.5m) were as nailed as could be last season, not missing a single minute of league football.

Jack Grealish (£6.5m) was similarly a permanent fixture in the Aston Villa side last season, with his only absences and one substitution enforced by injury.

This dependability helped offset the fact that the three aforementioned players lost more matches than won, with their impact points balance in the negative.

Player2019/20 TeamPlayed 60+ minutesPlayed the full match
Ward-ProwseSOU3838
RiceWHU3838
GrealishAVL3635
WestwoodBUR3535
McNeilBUR3731

Ward-Prowse ended the season 29 points better off in FanTeam than he did in FPL, catapulting him above the likes of James Maddison (£8.0m) and Adama Traore (£6.5m).

Dwight McNeil (£6.0m) is another player to watch from this pool of regular starters, for those who like a bit more threat from open play.

On the flip side, assets like Harvey Barnes (£7.5m), who finished just four Premier League matches, are slightly less appealing as a result.

BIG SIX ‘OTHERS’

Gomez absent for Liverpool as more injuries revealed after FPL deadline

It’s all very well us tipping up the likes of De Bruyne, Sterling, Sadio Mane (£12.0m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) – you all know their qualities as players and Fantasy assets already and many column inches have already been devoted to their attributes.

FanTeam‘s impact points do make other less-heralded assets from the more successful sides that bit more appealing, however.

Liverpool won 32 games and lost only three last season, so even those midfielders and forwards just turning up for the game and offering only sporadic attacking returns would have been amply rewarded.

While he may not be as permanent a fixture next season, Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) was a massive 39 points better off in FanTeam than he was in FPL as a result of his regular appearances and Liverpool’s winning streak.

Club captain Jordan Henderson (£6.0m) might be slightly more of a reliable pick this time around providing fitness is not an issue, although it should be said that central midfield was the area that Jurgen Klopp has traditionally rotated the most, both during games and between them.

RodrigoMCI22112521
MahrezMCI2251912
FernandinhoMCI2072621
SterlingMCI20102919

BUDGET OPTIONS

There is a healthy crop of budget midfielders available in FanTeam, whether it be for playing purposes or purely for bench fodder status.

Tomas Soucek (£4.5m) leaps off the page, with the Hammers midfielder having scored three goals after lockdown ended this summer.

West Ham’s early fixtures are a tad off-putting, however, while we await further news on when the Czech midfielder will end his stint in self-isolation.

Alexis Mac Allister (£4.5m) hasn’t yet delivered on his promise for Brighton but is one to monitor given that he plays in an advanced attacking midfield role.

Perhaps more appealing at Albion is Yves Bissouma (£4.0m), who has rapidly developed into their most effective central midfielder and who started 10 of the Seagulls’ final 12 fixtures, coming off the bench in the other two matches.

Josh Brownhill (£4.5m) ought to start for Burnley from Gameweek 2 onwards with Jack Cork (£4.5m) a longer-term absentee, while Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m) has caught the eye in pre-season both out wide and up front – although his chances of a start may hinge on whether Eberechi Eze (£5.0m) fails to shake off a groin problem.

The new Palace signing is himself a name to seriously consider at that price, given his attacking reputation in the Championship.

    Greenwood and Foden won't play gw2 by the looks of it.

    1. ippe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do you think their clubs will discipline them for not following the rules in national team or what?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably won't change anything...

    3. Hiroku
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think they need to quarentine/self-isolate so long as they don't test positive for COVID.

    4. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I guess it gets lonely at night in Iceland?

  2. Igor-Stimac
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone going for Willian?

    Had Ziyech but can't think of a direct replacement.

    1. Hiroku
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Alli?

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

      He's too risky IMO

      First game they could easily just start the same as the Community Shield.

      If I was gambling with an Arsenal mid (and I am), it'd be Saka at 5.5

      1. Igor-Stimac
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks i listened to this advice hahah

  3. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts?

    McCarthy, Button

    TAA, Justin, Ayling, Lascelles, Mitchell

    Salah, Aubameyang, Son, ASM, Armstrong

    Werner, Ings, Davis

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How much of your ayling choice is due to your bias? - do you actually think hes worth getting? and do you prefer him to dallas?

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I do think he's worth getting, we won't concede a bucket loads and he's an attacking RB, prefer him to Dallas due to naildness

        1. beric
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          cheers man. I like your team btw, mine is very similar. Except I have 343

          1. The Mighty Whites
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            No worries, do you mind sharing?

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Is Alisoki nailed? Looks more attacking based on numbers.

          1. ivantys
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            No

        3. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wait, Dallas isn't nailed?

          1. The Mighty Whites
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Sorry that's the wrong way off putting it, he's nailed but Ayling is basically Vice Captain

          2. Hattrick Harry
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Dallas started 45/46 games last season, Harrison 5.5 in Leeds LW started 46/46 games

            1. Zilla
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ah alright cheers both

          3. Hattrick Harry
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            And Ayling plays always if not injured.

  4. Flynny
    • 9 Years

    https://www.hammers.news/club-news/west-hams-season-opener-against-newcastle-just-became-painfully-difficult-ahead-of-double-announcement/

    Have Soucek and Bowen. Think i might be swapping Bowen as Newcastle might not be the opponents i was hoping for

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure how much difference wilson and fraser having been at the club for 5 days will make to bowens prospects, but i'd be wary of double west ham even if they didnt have hard fixtures

      1. Red Red Robins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        More to do with me thinking Newcastle the whipping boys 1st game. Losing the goalkeeper, poor squad etc.
        Now issues with Noble critisising the board, Soucek out, injuries etc, no signings.
        Add into the miz Newcastle sign Wilson and Fraser, so will be more competitive than i thought

      2. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Watch and wait best option , that said I fancy Bowen for a "mini breakout" season

        1. beric
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I hope he does, I'm good mates with his cousin - hoping for some free tickets when we're allowed back in!

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Ahh keep us in the loop Beric . But yeah he has something about him , hope he kicks on

        2. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          be looking at him downt he line now i think

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bowen still a good option in that game as Newcastle were one of the worst for shots conceded down their left post lockdown

      1. Red Red Robins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agree mate, but thinking for 1 week having Son instead of Bowen might be the better option

        1. beric
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I have to agree with you here, son better bet

          1. Red Red Robins
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I knoooooow, dammit. Honestly mate i thought West Ham looked great for a good win against Newcastle. Not saying Bowen wont do well in the game, just the fact Newcastle could be more competitive than a week ago.

  6. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone considering James Rodriguez if he moves to Everton?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on his price but will probably pick Dominic instead

    2. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      As soon as he makes the starting 11 he will be straight in my team. (Hopefully by GW2-3)

  7. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So Vinagre not such a good option anymore if there is talk of him leaving Wolves.

    1. HTL
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No, and I haven't a clue who to replace him with

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I may go all out premium defence

    1. hewittj1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      very seriously considering this! 5% ownership

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But who to drop for him?

      Son would be my only option

      1. hewittj1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        the most sensible way to get him is to downgrade Werner and upgrade your 4th mid spot IMO

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

    Thoughts?

    Ryan
    TAA Robbo Justin KWP Mitchell
    Salah Son Pulisic*
    Jimenez Antonio

    Johnstone Greenwood Bissouma Davis

    2.5m itb to do Son to KdB. Hoping Pulisic is fit for gw1, too risky? Should i use .5 spent on second goalkeeper to upgrade Mitchell to a nailed 4.5 def instead?

  9. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts please. One of Salah/Auba will become KDB. Ings will become Martial.0.5 itb. Thanks

    McCarthy
    TAA Mitchell Bavies Egan
    Salah Auba(c) Soucek Son
    Werner Ings

    Button Taylor Stephens (Bri) Davis

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

      Good team good plan.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      arrise

    3. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You'll have to make that move very early in the week before any price changes happen

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Will do Ings to Martial immediately but can assess the KDB move in gw 3 as will have a 12m > 11.5 m move.

  10. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this GW1 team?

    Ryan
    TAA KWP Justin Mitchel
    Salah Auba ASM Soucek
    Ings Werner

    (Rashford Taylor Davis)

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think i'm bailing on soucek for gw1, need assured starters

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes that might well change. Bummer though as there are no other decent 5m options

        1. Eastman
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          But then it's a transfer you'll have to make after just one gw. If you want him I'd start with him.

  11. beric
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking about heading into GW1 with 2m itb, giving me this team:

    Ryan
    TAA - KWP - Mitchell
    Auba - Salah - Son - ASM
    Werner - Adams - Mitro

    Steer, Bisouma, Ayling, Taylor

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why 2M Beric , don't see the move
      Prefer Armstrong to ASM

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, 2m is just the amount left with this team - which i quite like. I don't know what the moves will be yet, possibly son - bruno first

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oops missed Son to Bruno. Ok then would rather get a decent 4.5 starter for Mitchell , He's a transfer waiting to happen

        2. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Or ASM > Greenwood

  12. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy
    Coady TAA Robertson
    Auba Son St.-Maximin Havertz
    Ings Mitrovic Werner

    Nyland Bissouma Mitchell Johnson

    Decided to rejig my team and go with no Salah. Trent and Robertson too much?
    Got 0.5 in bank to do Son to Rashford or Ings to Martial in GW2

  13. Godfrey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I really like the balance without Salah in my team, but am I brave enough.

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I know that I am not

      1. Godfrey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hehe, I just like the options

        Salah + Antonio
        or
        Son + Werner

    2. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking about it too but nervous tbh

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like the option of having Salah (or Mane) knowing that the sideways move to KDB/Sterling is an easy click away

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yeah, or bruno

      2. Godfrey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Auba > KDB

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I plan to keep Auba

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like it but I don't see any point doing it before gw3

    5. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The only reason to need Salah is if your strategy is to captain him regardless of what you actually think will happen to cover ownership.

      In all likelihood your captain will return something, your salah replacement/s will return something, salah will return something and you'll end up somewhere between a bit behind and a bit ahead

      The chances of salah pulling in a massive score are very low statistically, the chances of him doing that and your C and replacents crapping out are waaaay lower

      Chill. Dude isn't essential and has been nothing more than a great option for a couple of years

    Is Ziyech ready for GW1?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very doubtful atm.

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

    Any Chelsea fans think Havertz will start against Pool?

    1. Hiroku
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think so, yes.

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

        Cheers

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Record signing ready for the big stage. Not a Chelsea fan but do not see why Frank would sit him on the bench. Pulisic and Ziyeck a doubt. Kovacic suspended.

      Will start IMO.

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Kovacic is back for GW2

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

        Yeah thought Frank was slow starting Pulisic that’s all.....I’m gonna put him in GW1 as think he will get some minutes ready for next match...saves a transfer too!

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Highly unlikely imho.

    4. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Could start against Brighton at this rate

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

        Why? There’s plenty of choice isn’t there?

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

          If he is close to being fit he plays. He is our record outfield signing and is an amazing player

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

            Thanks he’s going in for GW1

    5. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would be amazed if he doesn’t start

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

        Yeah. Enough tinkering…it’s time pick and stick with the value prospects.

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Downgraded Son to Alli in my draft. Leaves me 1.5m left for 2 UTD upgrades but pending how they get on GW2. Most interested in Donny.

    1. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      First we downgraded Kane into Son, now Son into Alli...what is next? Lamela?

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        lol aye

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          or Lemina

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Alli should do well.

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe , has hardly improved after a decent season some years back

  17. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    will we know either way about souceck before deadline? perhaps at a press conference?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Their should be presser on Friday unless some new rules have been introduced

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else expecting TAA to not start the 2st game?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1st*

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nope , they need the lad

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is fit, other than fatigue, I don't really see any reason to bench him

    3. Hiroku
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm starting Robbo instead, he's nailed and fully fit unlike Trent. Enough ITB to upgrade as needed.

    4. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is rdy...he played for England too

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        expect he'll play but could well come off early due to lack of match fitness

        it's an ankle isn't it? not always the easiest to come back from

  19. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Nice of greenwood to make sure she had a mate for Foden. Manchester rivalry is a thing of the past.

    2. Brosstan

      Would have done the same if I were them, fair play. When you are young and single you should be banging a lass every weekend

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Especially when youre already in a relationship and have a kid 🙄

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lol which of them is that? That's quite another story

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Foden has wife and kid
            Greenwood has GF

          2. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah Foden’s got a long term girlfriend of about 4 years and a kid with her. Greenwood recently broke up with his apparently

  20. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Fabio Silva as a 3rd striker in a 352?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would be quite the achievement when the formation only has two strikers

      1. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I see.

  21. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A or B?
    A. Armstrong, Son
    B. Barnes, Alli

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

      A just, but am a fan of Barnes. Think he offers very similar returns to Alli for 1.0 cheaper

  22. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Does Wilson signing increase appeal of St. Maximin?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      There's a school of thought that says yes

    2. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The Wilson signing increases the appeal of Wilson for me personally. I honestly think it's a good shout.

  23. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who's Everton's current first choice RW? Walcott/Iwobi?

  24. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Epic Fail about?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On his way home

  25. hewittj1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thought's on this? it's a bit different but decent bench.

    McCarthy Steer
    TAA, Dier, Egan, Taylor, Mitchell
    Auba, Salah, Havertz, Son, ASM
    Antonio, Adams, Mitro

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      you're gunna bench 5.5 every week?

      1. hewittj1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yea, that is a good point. i would essentially be benching ASM every week. Maybe best to downgrade 5th mid in that case.. back to the tinker board

  26. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner or the less sort after option, Vardy?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner for me

  27. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How nailed is Noble? Thinking bringing him or Rice in for Soucek since he might not start GW1. Is he still on Penalties?

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nailed and still on penalties

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wonder why he is not that popular among the 5M picks...

        1. Hiroku
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Probably because most people are picking Soucek as the go-to WHU 5.0 mid.

        2. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He seems to have lowered his yellow card rate as well, he needs penalties to score though while soucek can score without.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doosra may approve , not many others . But why with such bad fixtures ? unless you are on an early WC

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Already have a 4.5M mid, and need a 5M enabler in my team. Was satisfied with Soucek, but given his doubts I need alternatives

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          OK yeah also hanging in with Soucek . Not an easy choice if he's out. Will hang in and hope for now.

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            but as a regular bench option in the first 4 or 5 just go gut ?

            1. MGMT
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              In starting 11

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This should finally settle my tinkering until pressers

    Ramsdale
    TAA Stevens Egan
    Salah Havertz Alli Bowen Pereira
    Werner Ings

    Nyland Brewster Mitchell Johnson

    1.5 ITB to have a look what happens GW2.

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like that triple Sheffield all in, their weeks 4,6,7,8 are problematic though.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Like I said, 1.5 ITB

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think they're a great option but three is too rich for my blood

      I'm going with egan plus stevens/basham because of need for their defenders to keep scoring goals. Might mitigate a bit in the event they concede

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I do not like the 4.5 defenders, if I had to pick one I would go KWP but triple SHU first 3 GW's looks pretty good.

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mooi man.

    4. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Think Auba is less droppable than Salah honestly

  29. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lads, if you absolutely you had to, which are the two 4.5 mids you would pick?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Im as lost as you here , sorry

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bissouma and Reed

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I reluctantly do have 2. Gordon and Bissouma. Keeping an eye on Burke if he goes to Sheff U and starts.
