How Spurs and Everton’s new signings fared in their FPL Gameweek 1 debuts

Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Everton

  • Goal: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.0m)
  • Assist: Lucas Digne (£6.0m)
  • Bonus: Digne x3, Calvert-Lewin x2, Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) x1

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton met on Sunday for the second time in two months.

Only one goal separated the two sides again but, following Spurs’ narrow victory in July, this time it was the Toffees who came away from north London with all three points.

While it may seem like an all-too-convenient narrative to say that Everton’s trio of new signings were the difference between the two matches, there was a lot of truth in it.

Allan (£5.5m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) added bite and energy to a previously uninspired central midfield, while James Rodriguez (£7.5m) oozed class and defied predictions – including our own – that he may take a little time to get up to speed after a lack of first-team football at Real Madrid.

Spurs’ two debutants didn’t quite have such an auspicious afternoon but Matt Doherty (£6.0m) did at least show encouraging glimpses of the goal threat that marked him out as a popular Fantasy Premier League option at Wolves.

RODRIGUEZ TO RICHARLISON

Carlo Ancelotti sent his troops out in a 4-3-3 for Sunday’s match, the formation his side ended pre-season in.

Richarlison (£8.0m) and Rodriguez were given the nod to flank Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.0m) in a three-man attack and while the Everton number nine grabbed the game’s only goal when nodding in a teasing Lucas Digne (£6.0m) free-kick, it was the two wingers who really caught the eye.

Rodriguez’s touch was excellent and his vision just as good, with the Colombian setting up five Everton chances – all for Richarlison.

He appears to be sharing set-piece duties with Digne, too, with Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.0m) benched.

If there were any quibbles about Rodriguez’s display from a Fantasy perspective, it’s that he was often much deeper than Richarlison on the opposite flank.

The Brazil international, indeed, registered over four times as many penalty box touches as his new teammate.

But Rodriguez still went close with a 25-yard effort that crept just wide and got into an excellent position just after half-time, only to shank Calvert-Lewin’s cut-back from 12 yards.

But for Richarlison’s profligate finishing, he would have had at least one assist to his name, too.

The former Watford man nodded a presentable chance wide from a pinpoint Rodriguez cross just after the interval, later curling two efforts narrowly off-target when being found by the Colombian.

Richarlison’s best chance came from an errant Ben Davies (£5.0m) pass but, after skinning Toby Alderweireld (£5.5m) and Hugo Lloris (£5.5m), the newly reclassified FPL forward could only blaze over from a tight angle – to the annoyance of Calvert-Lewin, who was unmarked and waiting for a tap-in.

An off-day for Richarlison in front of goal, then, but plenty of encouragement for the Gameweek 2 clash with West Brom, who allowed Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) plenty of chances from the Leicester left on Sunday despite operating with a five-man backline.

Doherty’s Debut

Doherty was one of the reasons that Richarlison had a lot of joy in north London.

The Brazilian had the beating of the Ireland international on a few occasions (his 51st-minute header and 71st-minute curler, for starters) and, in more than one instance, Doherty was half-way up the other end of the pitch when Richarlison received the ball.

That last point is not a criticism, however, as the Spurs right-back was encouraged to get forward in the lop-sided 4-2-3-1 that Jose Mourinho employs.

One of the questions from FPL managers over Doherty’s move to north London was whether he would continue to “underlap” into goal-scoring positions or whether he would be more of a cross-merchant like Serge Aurier (£5.5m).

Two darts into the Everton box just before half-time may have answered that, with one of his runs resulting in a glorious chance from six yards out that Jordan Pickford (£5.5m) blocked with his legs.

Doherty was clearly flagging by the end of his debut and it may be a few weeks before we see the best of him, with Mourinho saying:

The players who didn’t have pre-season, we don’t have now the possibility to give them a pre-season but we have a lot of matches now to play consecutively and we have to use these matches, not just to win them and the knockout ones are obviously decisive ones with everything decided in 120 minutes or even penalties, and try to use this to improve the form of some players because some of them were really in trouble.

You can look to Doherty, a player who is normally in incredible condition. He didn’t have pre-season. He went direct from holidays to national team matches. No pre-season at all. Direct and not one single training session, direct from holidays to the national team and he played two consecutive matches and today he was not Matt Doherty like he normally is.

SPURS ATTACK BLANKS

There was no joy for owners of Spurs’ attackers, either.

Harry Kane (£10.5m) followed up his sluggish displays for England with a tired-looking performance, although did tee up Doherty for the right-back’s chance with an excellent chip.

Dele Alli (£8.0m) lasted only 45 minutes of the game, meanwhile, with Mourinho citing tactical reasons for his half-time substitution:

Tactical, yeah. They were playing only with one pivot, Allan was in that position there. Gomes and Doucoure were pressing high, lots of space behind this pressure. I needed more dynamic there.

It was some distance from being a positive Spurs display but it wasn’t the worst we’ve ever seen from Mourinho’s side: as well as Doherty’s chance, Alli saw a shot tipped over by Pickford following a swift break, Son Heung-min (£9.0m) had a goalbound shot headed away and Kane was inches from connecting with Son’s teasing delivery.

All of that came in the first half, however, and the Lilywhites ran out of steam after the break, with Mourinho’s change at the interval not having any effect.

The Spurs boss said:

Look. Harry Kane trained with us once. Just once. One day. Moussa Sissoko just a couple. I’m not going player by player but for different reasons our players they didn’t have that proper pre-season.

We had cases of positive COVID-19. Of course we have the right to say which players they were, but we had players with positive COVID. We had other players in quarantine due to proximity with the positive players.

We had a player in quarantine because he was on holiday in a country that England demands quarantine.

We had a national team couple of weeks, many of the players went with their national teams so the pre-season was a difficult one for many of the players.

In the second half after their goal we were poor and in my opinion we were not physically strong, no intensity and the team lacks in this moment many players physical condition.

EVERTON SOLID

Allan’s love of a tackle was something we highlighted in a previous article and no FPL midfielder won more than the Brazilian in Gameweek 1.

He and Doucoure rightly earned a lot of the praise on Sunday but Michael Keane (£5.0m) continued his fine post-restart form at centre-half and, perhaps most crucially of all, Pickford was dependable between the posts.

The England goalkeeper was a bit of a weak link last season and no matter how good Everton’s defenders and covering midfielders are, they’ll need him to vastly improve on his 2019/20 form in order to rack up the clean sheets.

The back four may well be settled for some time, meanwhile, with Mason Holgate (£5.0m) potentially ruled out for up to three months:

    Morning all. how is this looking?

    Feels good to see Bruno instead of Son. Will steer clear of all Spurs until Jose is gone. Will give Havertz another game or two and ship for Puli or another if there is no improvement.

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I also did Trent to Digne which I know divides opinion but I just feel Trent isn't worth it with Pool's upcoming games and their defence still leaking. Digne looks like a great option in a solid Everton defence and with great games. I'm confident I will recoup the -4 hit this weekend

      bruno

      1. GasGas
        • 3 Years

        but Resh earned more points in the last season...

        1. Jonesfromthere
          • 11 Years

          pens not with him no more

  5. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Digne is worth the extra 1.0 over the 5.0m Everton defenders, having lost some of his free-kick and corner duties?

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

      I think he is. Good price point to jump on Laporte Robbo VVD afterwards too

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate, who is your top 3 defenders to own in 4.5 to 5.0 price point ?

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

          Taylor Davies Saiss ( 😀 )

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks mate, currently on TAA Digne Saiss Davies as back 4

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

              Wow
              I want that 😀

              Can't get there easily

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

      Yah, James switching the ball a lot to him and seemed to be pretty involved going forward.

      I might still prefer Saiss at 5.0 though

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you going for both

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

      yeah

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

      Yes - think he will be best of the rest after Robbo/VVD/TAA

  6. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Always planned to get KDB for Auba after this weekend.

    Kdb’ price rise due tonight he’s going to be a right kick in the teeth. The 0.1m loss is almost 0.5m at this stage.

    Do I

    A. Hold Auba and absorb the loss
    B. Ditch Auba for WHU and get KDB for the Liverpool game

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

      Definitely hold auba. Kdb plays wolves, not Liverpool

    2. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A.

    3. Chandler Bing

      A

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

      Auba is a strong captaincy option this week...

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

      100% hold, Auba C all the way to the bank

  7. Logic
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner to;
    A. Calvert-lewin
    B. Martial

    1. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B.

  8. 2999 - Lady of Legend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sticking with double Liverpool defence, despite playing badly VVD still got 7 points, and feel Trent is due some attacking returns, Chelsea up next, think Liverpool will do well against then tbh.

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

    It is really rather annoying that the likes of KDB and Bruno are rising in price before what is basically their gameweek 1

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

      It was inevitable so should have been planned for

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

        by FPL managers

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

        Regardless, it’s just quite silly

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

          They were both underpriced anyway!

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Unless they fudge the algorithm......

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

        I really am hoping this is the case

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

        I think they should. Price rises are usually based on performances, rather than this strange situation where people just want them in their teams from their first game

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Until a Manc rises, we aren't going to know for sure.

        2. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          This.
          I find it very uncomfortable transferring in players that I didn't watch playing and ignore the ones I saw playing. Very confusing.

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Someone mentioned earlier that they should have risen last night. FPL Stats was accurate with the ones that did rise, and yet Bruno and KDB didn't, despite being over 100%. Could be that their prices are locked.

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

        Ah really, that’s interesting

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Not sure I would have the stones to risk it, though, if I was going to be otherwise priced out.

  10. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Need some opinions on this.

    Havertz out
    A. Hamez
    B. Rashford
    C. - 4 downgrade TAA to Digne or Werner to DCL and bring in Bruno
    D. Other suggestions are welcome

    1.0itb
    McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Justin Ayling
    Auba Salah ASM Havertz*
    Werner Adams
    (Peacock Taylor Bissouma Vassilev)

    1. seanmcging
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would you give Havertz another week to see how he settles?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A lot of posts I've seen is that he was pretty poor and it'll take some time for him to settle. Did you have a different opinion on his performance?

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

    I went with the TAA, Robbo double up; would you keep these players at this point.

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

      no

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I would, even with just goals & assists last year I read somewhere where they would score 130 points......So even if they drop off clean sheets a tad, they will still best 2 defenders

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

      Im torn, Trent is Trent but Robertson has been the bigger attacking threat post lockdown.

      Would lean towards moving Robertson on but not decided yet

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

      Yes, clean sheets are quite random and you always get defenders for a longer stretch if games

    5. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keep mate

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

      100%, the level of kneejerking you and similar players are showing is insane

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

        Thanks for everyone’s reply ; I will keep for now like I planned too

    7. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm keeping both. Robbo is better at the moment but hopefully it will not take too long for TAA to get back at it

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

      Yes

    9. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would be tempted to shift one of them to Luca Digne. I know we only have a limited data set on which to work but Everton’s upcoming fixtures are mint and they do look much stronger at the back with Allan and Doucoure in the fold.

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

      yea, hold. don't waste a transfer getting out the two best defenders in the league

  12. seanmcging
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with this bunch:

    McCarthy/Nyland
    TAA/Doherty/*Vinagre/Mitchell/*Johnson
    Salah/Auba/*Pulisic/Greenwood/*Saka
    Ings/Wilson/*Brewster

    I started with only 8 players this GW & now I have a decision on how I ensure 11 players next GW.

    1. Vinagre > Justin/Lewis
    2. Saka > Podence/ASM
    3. Saka & Ings > DCL & Rodriguez -4
    4. Do nothing & let the transfer carry over with the hope that Pulisic & Saka start

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would say A with Lewis since you have 2no. 4.0 defenders

      1. seanmcging
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I suppose prioritise getting 11 out there.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Three cheap defs tht you have are a rotation risk and don't even rotate very well - A Lewis

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

      1. If you move to Justin youre just tying yourself into another defensive move later.

      2. Podence is as much a rotation risk as saka.

      3. Don't like the hit.

      4. You need to do something.

      I choose option1 but pick a 4.5 thats nailed. Lewis, Ayling or someone like that.

    4. seanmcging
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks for the feedback & Lewis certainly looked good over the weekend. Thoughts on Pulisic starting or is that just guess work at this stage?

  13. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy
    Taa Doherty Justin
    Salah Auba Son JWP ASM
    Werner Mitrovic

    4.0 Saiss Mitchell Brewster

    I want me some Everton but how?

    A. Taa and Son to Digne and Bruno
    B. Son and Mitrovic to Rodriguez and DCL

    1. seanmcging
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would say B

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

      Mitro is benched, see Wilson, he's more secure

  14. 2999 - Lady of Legend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Probably B.

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

    Got 1.5m itb, anything for a one week hit ? Maybe Davies > Digne or summat. Or bank on the 4 points x

    Leno (WHU)
    TAA (che) James (LIV) Bavies (sou) Ayling (FUL)
    Salah (che) Auba (WHU) Son (sou) ASM (BRI)

    1. Ask Yourself

    2. Stormbringer22

      3 years, 6 months ago

      No hits needed

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

        So u think Davies (sou) scores at least 4 less than Digne (WBA) x

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Digne was a big troll for me last season. Digne could easily score you a 1-pointer when he picks up an inevitable yellow. He is high risk, high reward so I would stick with Davies to avoid the hit. Davies *might* surprise you with a clean sheet

    Any chance Bamford rises again before the next GW deadline? On 5.5% after rising today.

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

      Definitely

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

        Dear God, will hold for now on WC

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

      Probably. Going to be a lot of frustrated people watching him miss 3 sitters a game

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

        And then Rodrigo takes his place... Just feel a bit unwell seeing him in my team.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The thing that concerns me with Leeds attackers is that although they scored 3 goals, 6 different players were involved in the goals/assists.

        Someone in pre-season told me the goals would be spread out under Bielsa, and it looks like the case so far.

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

          You tempted by some of their options? If so, which?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I have Ayling for Fulham. Happy with that, he looked good. I like the look of Harrison, but I'm not sure I'll have room in my midfield long term, and I have doubts about their attacking players as I said above. Also want to see how they do against a low block.

            I'm excited by Leeds, but I'm not sure how to take advantage of them just yet...

        2. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Much prefer a midfielder at 5.5 - especially if Klich is on penalties.

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

          Yeah I have absolutely no clue which mid Id want from them. Klich, Harrison, Costa, Hernandez... god knows! Klich on pens is interesting though

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            They do look like a team that will win a lot of penalties...

    Hi all, cant decide whether to aim for 4 "big" hitters in attack (with salah) or 5 big hitters without Salah.

    A: KDB + Salah + Bruno + Werner + 3 midprice players or
    B: KDB + Bruno + Werner + 2 of Son/Rash/Martial/Kai + 2 midpriced players

    What's the verdict? If B, any preference of which two?

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

      A

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

      with current chelsia I think salah can do performance again, so A

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

      A

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leader of my office ML auto-picked his team. Ended up with two Soton defenders and no playing GKs but with Castagne, Laca, Salah, Coleman and Vardy. Doesn’t get more casual than that.

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hahaha:D

  19. Wheato182
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    JRod or Richarlison?

    Also is it worth getting Martial in for Werner (-4)?

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

      Richarlison

      No imo. I have high hopes for Werner this season

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

      wouldn't lose werner for a hit. Rich looks great, I've gone for him. WBA vulnerable down that side too.

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

      A. Richa
      B. No

    4. Wheato182
      • 11 Years

      thanks chaps

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

      Rich
      no

    6. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison and no

  20. AlpoShearer
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Havertz and Doherty to Bruno and Struijk Y/N?
    Others are TAA, Egan, Justin and Mitchell

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

      Id probably go Rashford in your case & a £5m def

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

      nah, hold and re-assess

  21. Patron
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Can someone please tell me if there are any blank/double gameweeks expected or confirmed?

    Thanks!

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

      no space til next year unless the manc clubs get knocked out early in carabao

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

        Thank you very much!

  22. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Yes I know its only the 1st gw, but Is this worth a - 4

    Ings to martial

    Alli to James Rodriguez?

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

      Nice moves

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Would you do it?

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

          Yep, if I wasn’t happy with my line up

          I went Son/Doherty to Bruno/Lewis -4

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably just Alli to JRod.

      Ings still a good pick imo.

  23. jam sandwich
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    what are the downsides of Werner -> Martial apart from Werner's high ownership?

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If anything thats a + Martial is proven

    2. Surfreak
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Currently I can't see any downside as Martial is 0.5 cheaper and has two good fixtures coming up and is proven in the premiership

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

      Werner locked Quality last night.. Season keeper imo

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

      Werner's fixtures

  24. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best move here guys?

    A)
    GW2: Save FT
    GW3: Son/Auba -> KDB/Martial

    B)
    GW2: 1 week punt
    GW3: WC (get some MCY/CHE/MUN/WOL and ditch ARS)

    McCarthy
    Trent, Virgil, Bellerin, Holding
    Salah, Auba, Son, ASM
    Vardy, Antonio

    Steer, Mitchell, Bissouma, Davis
    Bank 0.0m

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

      * Rashford (not Martial) in A

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

    Thoughts please guys, I have £0.5 ITB and obvioulsy 1 FT

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Justin Mitchell (Vinagre Buur)
    Salah Auba Son Soucek (Bissouma)
    Werner Ings Mitrovic

    Would you save FT or get Rashord or Martial in for Son or Ings?

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Get Utd in

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

      Id probably fix Vinagre 1st

  26. Surfreak
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone bringing in United/City assets for GW2 and if so who and when. Currently thinking of switching Werner to Martial. Thanks

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I planned for this but may now hold Werner

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Already had Bruno and will roll with him being the only asset and reassess GW3

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

      Sold Doherty/Son last night for Bruno/Lewis -4

  27. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Adams > Wilson to use FT?

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      An upgrade, so yes

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

      yes - think Wilson will be the pick of the 6.5 and under options

  28. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Pickford ? Lucky or good performance was thinking him for next 3 at least

  29. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Bruno + DCL
    Or,
    B) Richarlison + Rashford

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Toss a coin, but probably A

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

    Any consensus on best 4.5 mid after GW1?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Most owned 4.5 attacker would be Brewster in 3 weeks time
