Scoutcast Episode 344 – Manchester City and United players on the radar

Joe and Az are joined by 2014/15 Fantasy Premier League winner Simon March as they look ahead to Gameweek 2.

With Manchester City and United’s blank Gameweek 1 over, they are back in action this weekend. But which assets do we bring in and who makes way?

The Scoutcast team reveal how they plan to navigate an upcoming fixture run, with even more explosive heavy hitters vying for their attention.

Everton’s new-look midfield gets the once over from our Scoutcast trio, who are particularly impressed with the addition of 2014 World Cup hero James Rodriguez to orchestrate the Toffees’ attacking play.

He certainly passes the eye test and this latest episode also reveals the underlying statistics behind Everton’s renaissance.

Elsewhere, Chelsea options are considered, ahead of their kind fixture run from Gameweek 3. As a fan of the London side, Simon is particularly insightful about the options to bring in and how their defence may line up.

The crew look back at the lessons learned from their Gameweek 1 performance. Even though Simon shunned a certain expensive Liverpool penalty taker, he looks to have made good use of the spare cash he has available. Will Joe follow Simon’s risky strategy in Gameweek 2? He’s certainly tempted.

Next four fixtures come under scrutiny and the community’s roughest and smoothest scores get an airing.

Meanwhile, Az and Simon reveal a pair of intriguing differentials and the show finishes with the team’s transfer and captaincy plans for the second round of fixtures of 2020/21.

    Becoming more and more tempted by Havertz to James Rodriguez

    1. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing wrong with that option, James will probably adapt to the Prem a bit quicker than Havertz until Chelsea's attack is full-strength.

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

      Makes perfect sense imho

      I had the money for Bruno so went in that direction

      JRod looked great at Spurs

      Havertz looked dismal at best

      Could all change, but I'd say the odds are in JRod's camp with the fixtures

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Makes sense

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

      Good plan. I can't think what to do with Alli without taking hits.

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

    Only player to have a 100% penalty record in the Premier League and have taken at least 10 penalties?

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

      Milner?

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

        2 misses in PL

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        or Jorginho maybe

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

        Missed vs Hudds a few years back

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jorginho

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

        Only 5 taken (all scored though)

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wouldn't have taken 10 surely

      3. stat sifter 888888
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Prince Pogba without a shadow of a doubt.

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

          He has missed quite a few

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

        Google says a certain birthday boy

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Don't forget the cake

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

          Hazard

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

            Woah, the actual answer is an interesting one

        3. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          In all seriousness didn't Baines have a very good pen record?

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

            I think he missed one before Mirallas stole one from him...

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

              Which part of Austria are you from?

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

                Styria. Maybe you have heard of "mighty" Sturm Graz before 😀
                Do you have any connection to the country?

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

                  A good circuit there.

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

                    A bit too short though!

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

          Lambert ?

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

          It's Yaya Toure

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

            This

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

            Yaya took 10?

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

          Maybe rvp?

          Fabregas also scored a few but dont remember him missing any

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

            rvp missed at southampton when he got a hat trick in 2012

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

              Yeah he was my captain that day remembered as soon as i posted that

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

            Rvp missed vs soton actually early utd days. Still got a hat trick tho

          3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Rvp missed against DDG during the 8-2 drubbing

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

              He still managed a bonus 1 in that game though!

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

          It is indeed Yaya Toure - perhaps should have specified they weren’t an active Premier League player

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

            that man is so massively underrated

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

              Absolutely - Vieira/Keane/Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard levels for a few years

        8. DazF90
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Possibly Danny Murphy? Know his record was very good but not sure if it was 100%

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

            Missed one vs Joe Hart in 07/08

            1. DazF90
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Darn it

        9. Mighty Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I recall this being someone on match of the day, or a comment made, so maybe shearer?

      5. zizoo10
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        is there a chance vinagre doesnt drop pre deadline? god i hope he doesnt so i can bring saiss in immediately, otherwise no wolves defender for me :,(

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

          maybe, a lot of people had their transfers for this week planned in already

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

          Small, most transfers have probably happened already, and of those that are left I can't see it being Vinagre as the priority move out.

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

            He is on -72 in fplstatistics though. Could drop by Saturday

        3. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Why not take the hit? You'll have saiss for a long time and he'll be worth it

          1. zizoo10
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            im already on -4

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

              Ignore that. Do u think you'd get more points with saiss or with whoever else you'll get instead of him. Another -4 means nothing if u think saiss will do much better

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

                Unless u plan on having saiss for only a short time. Then it's not worth it

      6. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wild Card?
        Mccarthy
        TAA Taylor Saliba
        Salah Son Havertz Aubam(c) Ceballos
        Werner Mitrovic

        Button KWP Mitchell Davis

        Cheers

        1. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Go back to the drawing board mate, no offence.

          1. stat sifter 888888
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Apologies, I misunderstood and thought that was your suggested Wild Card team. Saliba in particular has dropped in price now and will not start any games this year, Taylor and Mitro are both big question marks in my opinion and an Arsenal double-up in midfield is probably excessive. Next week will most likely be painful but in the long-term you could wait it out and address the issues as they come.

            1. Oggle22
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              No worries and only thinimg of wildcarding because within a few weeks it might be to late?

        2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No. Can be easily fixed with a couple of transfers

          1. Oggle22
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            What do you suggest and surely within a few weeks it'll be too late?

            Cheers

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              You can play KWP instead of Saliba this GW. Monitor United's team news and get Greenwood in place of Havertz. Keep Ceballos in the 11 and Mitchell 1st sub. Auba to KDB in GW3. Use the extra 1.5/ 1.4 to fix Ceballos in GW 4.

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

          Too much arsenal for me.

          Also a lack of City/United, although assume Auba makes way for someone in GW3.

          1. Oggle22
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I know don't know what I was thinking with all arsenal probably cheap prices and yer Aubameyang out gw3

      7. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Best move here?

        A. Havertz > Hamez
        B. Save & do a mini WC next week

        McCarthy Button
        TAA Coady Davies Justin Ayling
        Salah Auba Havertz Asm Reed
        Werner Ings Vassilev

        1. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Nothing wrong with Havertz to James considering this week's fixtures.

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

            Let's stick with Hames or Hamez, it is less confusing.

        2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          A

          And all the best for IPL.

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

          A, same move for me

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

        who to bench this week
        James (LIV)
        Soucek ( ars)
        Foden (wol)
        ?

        1. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          For how many starting spots?

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

            2, just need to bench one

          2. stat sifter 888888
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Foden is the least likely to start. James is always an assist possibility, especially as Pulisic and Ziyech are out and they are trying to get some width out of the full-backs.

        2. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          James

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

          James

        4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          James

        5. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          James

      9. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hopefully Adams won't start today, theres a good change he will starts against Spurs, right?

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

          Yup

      10. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Harisson IN Alli OUT in this gw or wait to go with 2 FT for gw3 and maybe a change of plans. I mean the question is do you think Harisson > Alli for this gw. I think Harisson can provide 2 returns

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Harrison has a good fixture and wouldn't want to lose the 0.1m so do it now imo.

          1. Shark Team
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yes but what if he starts? Because Tottenham lost after his sub. Then he has another easy fixture coming up. Oh mate I don't know what to do it's so tricky for me I think I'm gonna stay with him in my lineup. I change mind every day

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

              Spurs play better without alli

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

                They didnt the other day

              2. stat sifter 888888
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Spurs play better without Kane. Alli is still better than Sissoko but Lo Celso might be a good replacement.

      11. Laserface
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Alli to Rashford for a hit. Yay or Nay ?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yay

        2. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yay.

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

        best striker 6m or under just for this week?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Mitrovic or Watkins

        2. Blunder fc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          mitro

          1. BinManJack
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Mtro over Bamford? Leeds at home and Fulham look poor defensively, Mitro didnt start against Arsenal either.

        3. Pukkipartyy
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Bamford

        4. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years

          Adams, Ayew, Bamford/Rodrigo

        Want a Utd asset but which one and which way?

        A) Alli and Werner to Rashford and DCL +1m
        B) Alli and Werner to Bruno and DCL
        C) Alli and Mitrovic to Soucek and Martial

        1. DRAXLER1105
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          B

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

          Like C

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

          Of those. C. But I dont actually think its worth a hit.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I'm not losing money on the absolute donkey that is Alli

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

          C - because I think Werner could be a massive scorer, martial was the main man post lockdown and west ham look garbage

        5. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          B if you want to start them every gw

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah they are main parts of the starting 11

        6. FDMS All Starz
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          B, think with so many pens already this season, with Utd being the kings of winning pens...he will be a crucial part of that team this year both with goals and assists

        7. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No love for Rashford it seems

        8. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Definitely do not have West Ham players in if you can avoid it. B if you can afford it.

      14. DRAXLER1105
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        thinking of alli to bruno, will have to downgrade robertson to a 4.5 m defender. Any suggestions??

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          What about Rashford and get a better defender?

      15. davies
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Alli > Rodríguez (-4)

        Y or N?

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          N

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

          Wait for presser, alli seem fell out w jose

      16. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I took a -8 last night. Never taken such a hit at this stage but think it will be worth it and could pay back quickly

        Antonio Havertz and bavies to martial, jrod and ayling

        Mccarthy (steer)
        Taa Shaw ayling (vinagre ferguson)
        Salah auba jrod asm (biss)
        Werner martial adams.

        Do I stick? Or just hit wildcard? Thanks

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

          save the wild card

        2. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Vinegar gotta go too.

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

            Vinegar can actually wait a week or 2 if needed.

            Auba to kdb next week and vinagre week after

      17. Tmel
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Best 6.5 or under mid for the next few weeks?

        1. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You could play Russian roulette with Jota, Neto, Podence, Traore but ASM probably best value at that price. Redmond is an outside punt as well. Much better value up-top for that price unless you need a mid.

        TRVIA

        Which current player has been in the premier league for at least 6 seasons (inc this one) and NEVER ended the season with less than 150 points

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Vardy

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Nvm Vardy is 5 seasons, Kane is 6 seasons

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

              Sorry maybe i shd have phrased the question better. Didnt mean most 150 plus scores

              Kane has a 28 point season

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

            No 120 points in his first season

        3. R.C

          2. Nightcrawler

            Yes u got it...thought it would take longer

        A. Ings —> martial

        But now maybe

        B. Kane —> martial???

        Or am i jerking too hard

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I had both. Moved out Ings

        2. FDMS All Starz
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ings may not be as dangerous with Adams along side him

      21. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Anyone else considered both saving a FT and wildcarding? 😀

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

          Yeah 🙂 Did Alli to Jrod in the end. Will keep faith in Havertz even though he looked terrible.

          1. Flaming Flamingo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I would keep faith as well, fully expect him to come good

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

          I am saving my ft this week...

          1. Flaming Flamingo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            As will I most likely. Wildcarding is too risky, albeit very tempting

      22. DickFranDyke
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        DCL or Callum Wilson....have Digne & J Rod already

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

          As much as I like Everton's fixtures, I don't have enough trust in 3 players. Wilson for me.

        2. Give Me the Mane
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Jay Rodriguez or Hames?

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

            I think the rest of the comment clears that

            1. Give Me the Mane
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ok

        3. FDMS All Starz
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wilson could be great value at 6.5, could tick over nicely, on pens too

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

            Is he?

            1. FDMS All Starz
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I’d presume so as he is their striker but could be wrong

        4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wilson

        5. Pukkipartyy
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Im temted to triple up with Everton, but Wilson looked good.

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

            Or did west ham look bad

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

          Wilson

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

            I was leaning towards Wilson. Case closed.

      23. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Any 4.5 midfielder who's likely to be 4.4 before GW3?

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

          No, you're probably looking at a few weeks at the least I think.

      24. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Best players to own from Leeds Everton Wolves(after this gw)?

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ayling, Harrison?
          Jamez, dcl, rich, doucoure
          Podence (rotation?), coady, saiss, jimmy

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

          James, Jiminez + Wolves defender

        3. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Pablo Hernandez, Doucoure, Podence

      25. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think the options are :
        A) pulisic and ings to bruno and Wilson (-4)
        B) pulisic and ings to foden and martial (-4)
        C) mane to bruno
        D) mane and ings to bruno and dcl (-4)
        Which looks best?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years

          I think Puli needs to go if he's ruled out. Don't really like any of the above options tho.

          1. waltzingmatildas
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Any suggestions? Not sure on jamez (eve) and I'd like utd in

      26. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Punted on Saka last week and looks like I'm gonna be rewarded with a lovely price drop. Trying to preserve as much value as I can before GW3 wildcard so thinking of binning him for one of the Leeds lads who will definitely start. Harrison/Klich seems to be a bit of a coin toss from what I've read on here so far. Any reason to sway one way over the other?

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Harrison looked really attacking

        2. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Apparently klich has pens?

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Bamford is on pens I think

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Oh just checked, both

            2. waltzingmatildas
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Sorry, my mistake

              1. Mr. O'Connell
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah pens seem to be shared.

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

        Soucek + Werner to Fernandes and 4.5m for -4pts or crazy?

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Don't like losing Werner

      28. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can we please stop using JRod, that is Jay Rodriguez at Burnley, it is Hamez or Hames

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It is none of those!

        2. Give Me the Mane
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            JRod was here 1st , have some bloody respect haha.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years

              No one in their right mind would have JRod from Burnley in their teams so his existence is moot for FPL Mr Brexit 😉

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years

        Alli owners.

        What are your thoughts? Now dropped from the Europa squad. I feel like it is a fire that needs to be put out. Are you considering transferring him out?

        Who would be the best option?

        A Rodriguez
        B Podence
        C Barnes
        D Harrison/klich

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          A or D. Especially D if you want money. I think the drop was more because that want him to build fitness for the Saints game. I don't know if I should keep him because if he starts and scores then he has easy fixtures coming up. If I decide to transfer him out then it will happen today before his price falls. I really don't know mate.

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

            Yeah it's a difficult call. I feel like I still need more information. I am really tempted by Rodriguez. Everton also have good fixtures. He looks nailed. I really didn't want to have to make a transfer for gw2!

      30. diesel001

        Everton defence looking interesting now that Ancelotti has decided to go defensive.

        Even with Liverpool on the horizon, you know they will play for the 0-0 (like last season).

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It's been one game, what makes you come to the conclusion that he's decided to go defensive?

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Post-lockdown. In particular his approach vs Liverpool. When I see Ancelotti (and Arteta with Arsenal) play such a defensive game, I know they are into keeping CS.

              He's been an attack minded manager his whole career, I'm skeptical that's all of a sudden going to change now

                Rubbish, he's one of the most pragmatic, player-focused managers around. He does play great offensive football, but he also sits back and defends whenever he needs to. See Chelsea and Milan's European ties for more proof.

        Current team:
        McCarthy / Nyland
        TAA / BDavies / Justin / Saliba / Mitchell
        Salah / Auba / Soucek / ASM / Doucoure
        Kane / Werner / Nketiah

        Options
        a) Save FT, play all 5 mids, bench Nketiah
        b) Save FT, play Nketiah, bench Soucek
        c) Replace Nketiah with Bamford / Mitro for 1 week only, play 3-4-3, then WC next week
        d) Replace Kane for Martial, go 3-5-2

        Any help much appreciated
