Sterling’s away form and low ownership can do real FPL damage

After a slow start for last week’s trio of differentials, we’re back ahead of Gameweek 2 on the lookout for the next low-owned bandwagon.

Several intriguing differential options emerged over the opening weekend. 

The likes of Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m), Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Jack Harrison (£5.5m) all impressed, but this week we’re turning to assets at Manchester City, Newcastle United and Leicester City.

As always, to qualify, the player must have an ownership of 5% or less at the time of writing.

Raheem Sterling

  • FPL ownership: 4.6%
  • Price: £11.5m
  • GW2-6 fixtures: wol | LEI | lee | ARS | whu 

It feels strange to include a player like Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) in this section of our coverage, but the numbers don’t lie.

Despite registering an FPL score of 204 points in 2019/20, the England international comes into Gameweek 2 currently sitting in just 4.6% of squads. Let that sink in.

During Project Restart, Sterling led the way for goals (nine), which included a hat-trick at Brighton and Hove Albion, and expected goals (xG) per90 amongst midfielders, while his 10 big chances was only bettered by Michail Antonio (£6.5m). Five of his nine double-digit hauls arrived following the resumption, which ensured he outscored teammate Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) by 86 FPL points to 73. In comparison, his Belgian colleague is now in 30.9% of squads.

Ahead of a run of four away matches in their opening six fixtures, it’s also worth flagging Man City’s, and specifically Sterling’s form on the road last season. The Citizens scored 45 goals, which is six more than second placed Chelsea, and 12 more than Liverpool in third. Sterling also thrived on his travels – 70% of his league goals arrived during away games, while his 26 big chances in such matches was comfortably more than any other player. 

Man City’s season begins at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, as they attempt to reclaim the Premier League title, before games against Leicester and Leeds United. Despite some tricky looking match-ups during that run, Sterling’s attacking output is up there with the best, and early investors could be rewarded with some huge differential hauls.

Ryan Fraser

Sterling's away form and low ownership can do real FPL damage
  • FPL ownership: 1.0%
  • Price: £6.0m
  • GW2-6 fixtures: BHA | tot | BUR | MUN | wol 

Ryan Fraser (£6.0m) didn’t enjoy the best of seasons on the South Coast last year. An underwhelming campaign saw him finish the season with a solitary goal, but I think it’s worth trying to understand why he struggled, while also casting our minds back to the season before last when Fraser was one of the most creative players in the league.

Last season’s issues aren’t easy to sum up. Back in January, he admitted “I didn’t play for the team” during the early part of the season, no doubt distracted by transfer speculation linking him with a move away. He also failed to play any part in Project Restart having declined a short-term contract extension.

Despite this, his expected assists (xA) per90 was still comfortably above that of any Bournemouth team-mate.

Now settled into a new, more positive environment, Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce will be hoping he can get return to the levels set in 2018/19, when he scored seven goals and provided 14 assists.

Encouragingly, and despite not playing much since March, Fraser made an instant impact on his debut on Wednesday night, when he scored the winning goal against Blackburn Rovers that helped send his team through to the next round of the Carabao Cup. 58 minutes were banked, and it’s now a question of when he’ll make his Premier League debut. This week might come too soon, so this is a move which does carry some risk, but he’s certainly in contention.

On Sunday, the Magpies entertain Brighton, full of confidence having beaten West Ham United in their opener. Their setup looked more balanced, we saw improvements at both ends, while in Callum Wilson (£6.5m) they finally have a fit forward who is capable of running in behind.

Fraser is an exciting footballer, who will be a genuine threat for Newcastle once up to speed, and could be a nice pick-up for those on the lookout for a midfield differential.

Timothy Castagne

FPL ownership: 4.0%

Price: £5.5m

GW2-6 fixtures: BUR | mci | WHU | AVL | ars 

Timothy Castagne (£5.5m) showed some serious promise in his side’s 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 1.

The versatile full-back headed in Leicester City’s opener in a man of the match performance which saw him supply of all of the Foxes’ width down their right-side, and combine well with Spanish forward Ayoze Pérez (£6.5m).

Given they were without first-teamers Jonny Evans (£5.5m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m), plus the recently departed Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), the Foxes’ defensive performance at the Hawthorns should be applauded, as they restricted West Brom to just three shots in the box, and an expected goal (xG) tally of 0.42.

Interestingly for FPL managers, Castagne has since suggested his full-back on the opposite flank, James Justin (£4.5m), was told not to advance so often to ensure there was enough defensive cover to allow him to join the attack at every opportunity. If that specific instruction from Brendan Rodgers were to continue, it would certainly make the Belgian a more enticing prospect, despite his £5.5m price tag.

Leicester’s fixtures between now and Gameweek 5 offers promise, with three home games against Burnley, West Ham and Aston Villa in the next four, while they also embark on a nice run from Gameweek 10 – 13.

Regardless of which side he’s deployed on, Castagne will be a threat whenever he goes forward, and owned by just 4.0% of squads, could help propel his owners up the FPL ranks.

    Séamus Coleman just a poor man's Digne? Or is Keane a better bet at the same price.
    Tempted to ditch Davies.

      Sorry for niche top post

      1. Dirtymeercat666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Keane for me @ that price range

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

      Davies is a transfer waiting to happen. Prefer the Wolves defence over Everton, but if you are set on Everton, I would say Keane the better option.

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

      Keane > Digne but also Saiss and James > Keane

    4. Bullet Eder

      Keane for me, major threat from set pieces. Although if James starts again versus Liverpool, he's your 5.0 man.

    5. The Senate
      • 5 Years

      go for Wolves/Shaw/James rather than Everton def IMO

    6. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks all, back to the drawing board I guess.

  2. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Pickford the pick of the keepers 5 mil or below going forward?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like it for next few, but 5 mill funny price for keeper overall.

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I don't mind it, especially as the 4.5m selections is kind of horrible imo.

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

      Guaita

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe, but wouldn't him for the next three.

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

          Yes, but your keeper is a set and forget until your first WC. Check out Palace’s fixtures for the next 10-15 gameweeks. You might change your mind. Even if Palace get mullered, Guaita will get save points.

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

      I think Pickford is a trap

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I am not convinced on him as a keeper, but got to think Everton keep a few clean sheets over those upcoming fixtures. So much more solid now as a team.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ryan & McCarthy rotate like a dream 😉

  3. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I don't think home/away will have as much influence this season without fans, as proven by the data post-lockdown. This could have an interesting impact on players who do better in those environments (Salah at home, Sterling away traditionally). I think Sterling's form more often coincides with when Jesus starts up front over Aguero, so while Serg is out I will be all over Sterling as a captaincy option, especially with ownership that low.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good points. Thought Kun was supposed to be close though.

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

        Barely working with a ball, from what I understand. Won't be ready for Wolves anyway.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can you point me towards the data you reference please?

  4. Pedram
    • 10 Years

    Folks who are on wildcard, what's your KDB plan? would you rather get him in GW3 or sacrifice Salah for this week?

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

      My plan is not to get him

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

        Sterling?

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

          Nope. No City for the foreseeable

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

            Last season MC 4 goals vs Leicester 1 ..... and that's only 10 days away.

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

              Jesus x 2
              Gundogan & Mahrez 1 each

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mo looked so sharp last week and, you know, Kepa.

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

      I'm hopping premiums for captaincy options from next GW so will bring him in if I see him as best option.

    4. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Went Salah + KDB. Skipping Fernandez in favour of Martial and no Auba (shock!).

      Long term i want the first two in my team, and don't want to risk not being able to get them in later.

      Risky, but going with my gut rather than my head. Am gambling on moyes fielding 10 defenders and Auba being a bandwagon trap this week.

    5. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wait and see how they look on monday, and then swap out Auba for KdB or Sterling.

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

    McCarthy
    Justin Egan TAA
    Bruno Salah Auba ASM
    Werner Mitro Adams

    I have a massive FOMO on Martial, Digne and KDB this gameweek...shall I do a -4 do get one of them in?

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

      Nope

  6. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A: Martial + J. Rod
    B: Rashford + DCL

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

    Can't see Bamford or Willian double rising so gonna sell them and lock in the WC, GTG?

    Martinez
    Digne Saiss Justin
    Auba(c) Bruno Rodriguez Grealish
    Martial Jimenez Richarlison

    Steele R.James Bissouma Mitchell 0ITB

    Will bring in a Pool defender in a few weeks once they look a bit tighter.

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

      Oh that is a sexy team.... Really like it. Obvious lack of TAA, but if you can make it work in a few weeks, then thumbs up!

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think I'm playing James over Saiss this week. But probably not much in it.
      Good to go, lock it in

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

        I see Wolves as having a greater chance of clean sheet vs City (despite what the bookies say) and Saiss has more goal threat from set pieces than Jams has from open play.

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

      They were tight but unlucky to concede 3.
      Like overall team

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Like it.

    5. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      prefer DCL over richarlison, gives you funds to upgrade bruno>KDB/sterling if needed or digne>robertson for example

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

        Just can't get the vision of Richarlison brace this weekend out of my head so can't really go against him now. He is always a potential downgrade later on to DCL/Wilson/Watkins

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Is J. Rod assisting any of those goals?

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

            Would hope so

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

      I don't like it.

      Josh Bull's theory is that the best way to play fantasy is to have more big hitters and more cheap fillers rather than a whole bunch of middle priced players.

      I also feel like you're short on good captain options if you're reliant on just Auba/KdB + Bruno.

      Furthermore, discounting Chelsea so much I feel will hurt you quite a lot. They had the second highest xG in the league post restart. Higher than MUN by 4 goals. ~19 vs ~15 with tougher fixtures too.

      I think the team is very heavily biased based on GW1 results and that by next week you'll already be looking at it unfavorably. Triple Everton springs to mind. I'd have 2 but 3 is pushing it especially when they aren't even cheap with Rod and Rich.

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

        Cheers for this - have tried to get three premium mids but can't make it work for me.

        Not fully discounting Chelsea but think they will take a while to get fully going until Ziyech and Pulisic are fully fit and have played a few more games.

        I can't see Everton not beating WBA and really rate Ancelotti as a coach so wanted to back them for the next three. I suspect Richarlion will be downgraded soon enough to a Wilson/Watkins to allow for an upgrade elsewhere.

        Appreciate the responses despite the differences of opinion.

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

          You’re logic is sound as 10, Miguel. Well thought through. Team looks beastly.

    7. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice.

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

      Looks very nice, although I wouldn’t keep Justin on a WC.

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

        I am aware he will probably lose his place eventually but has three great home fixtures I wanted him for. Outside chance he remains in the team when Ricardo returns if he comes in at RW.

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

    How many are planning on playing the WC ahead of GW3? Also, would you be looking to squeeze in all three of Salah, KDB/Raz, and Bruno?

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

      Greenwood and Rodriguez at 7.5 each tempt me. Is Bruno worth 3m more? Not sure.

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

      I’m probably going United-less on WCGW3

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

        *shocked Pikachu face*

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

      I am not planning to, and yet if things fo tits up for me this week, I might well do. Re the holy trinity, it depends on how United look this weekend. If either Martial, Rashford or Greenwood are looking dangerous, I might be tempted to save the 1.5 and spread it through the rest of the squad.

  9. Goodison Gladiators
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth benching Mitro this week?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      if he's ever going to score, it'll be this week surely?

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

        Worried he will be benched !

        1. Big Al Stankovic
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No. He’s essential for them, and an integral part of their play, so probably won’t be benched again for a while.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

  10. Bullet Eder

    Villa fans, who will play back up to Martinez? Nyland or Steer?

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

      Don’t need to be a villain to tell you it’s steer

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

        I thought so too, but based on what? Nyland started against Burton in the cup with Steer on the bench.

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

          Just trust me ok

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nyland played the cup, so will presume he continues in goal. But actually think they will start with Martinez.

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's all a bit up in the air right now.

      Steer started last weekend's friendly, but Nyland got the nod against Burton.

      If I had to choose, I think Steer edges it, but I'm not 100% sure.

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Heaton

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True, but the earliest I'd expect to see him is the end of October.

  11. gooner_112233445566

    3 years, 6 months ago

    what to do this week...

    a) save ft
    b) mount out for j rodriguez with ft
    c) mount and werner out for bruno and dcl -4
    d) mount and werner out for kdb and mitro -4

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

      a

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

    In order to save 0.1, would you do Vinagre > Saiss (-4) this week instead of next week?

    Alternative is to play Mitchell (mun) and take the hit next week regardless...

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

      I'd wait, anything can happen and Saiss isn't a priority this week

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

        Yes but would be for a hit next week regardless and can avoid playing Mitchell this week

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

          I'd still wait. Bringing in a defender playing City for a hit is never the right move

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

      I would do that transfer yeah

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No point this week

    4. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth it, you might as well just play Mitchell. Would do it for another defender with a good fixture potentially.

  13. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one
    A) Taylor
    B) Saiss

    How fit is Bale? Has he even played football recently?

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

      He played for Wales in the international break, but came off at half-time...

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      Played for Wales, not sure if that counts. Can't possibly be worse than Moura at least.

    5. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Plays most games for Wales. He'll need time to readapt to the PL tho. Avoid for now.

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

      He should take some time to get used to PL again I think. Good addition to PL though

    7. Ask Yourself

      Reports I’ve read suggests he makes his debut in GW5 (WHU)

      Played twice for Wales recently, one 45 min, the other the full 90, so he can’t be far off

    Alli to Willian?

    Seems as though Alli is frozen out but was hoping to hold and make 2ft next gw to allow Auba to Sterling.

  17. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Would you make these changes on WC?
    KDB, Martial(C) -> Auba(C), Jimenez
    And KDB -> Auba GW3

    Martinez
    Digne James Justin Ayling
    Salah KDB(/Auba) Bruno Hamez
    Martial(/Jimenez DCL

    (Steer Saiss Bissouma Brewster)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      *Auba -> KDB GW3

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      You've got Bruno, so I will go straight to Jimenez this week. KDB can wait for another 1-2 weeks probably. But yeah you never know.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Yeah don't know either. Thanks.

    How good were Leicester last week? Chances of a Burnley clean sheet?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very slim I'd say. They're missing both Mee and Tarkwoski.

    2. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2 penalties, Vardy with no open play shot. I have Taylor but not sure he starts. Toss up between him and Saiss

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Vardy says 0%

      1. Amey

        Why do we not call that a derby ??
        Both are Lancashire based teams right ??

        3 years, 6 months ago

        No chance, burnley's away clean sheets last season were kept against relegated sides or teams who couldn't attack, other than manu.

  19. 03farmboy

    Holding or lamptey?

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

      Lamptey

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lamptey is an exciting prospect, so him

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

      Lamptey

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      One of those choices is much more exciting than the other

  20. Magic Zico

    Greenwood to play according to presser?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      “Yeah, he’s part of the group. With the testing and COVID protocols, he trained by himself for a little while and as soon as possible he’s a big part of this group, this is where we feels at home, not comfortable, we challenge him, got people looking after him, had a plan with him throughout the season and it worked really well. He needed a rest. I look at the interview he did for the FA and he’s talking about looking at this season when it’s over and it’s first day of new season, he’s an 18-year-old kid who needs managing.”

    Save a transfer or move on JWP? Liking the look of Trossard...

    McArthy
    Trent - James - Doherty (Saiss - Michell)
    Auba - Salah - Barnes - JWP - Bissouma
    Werner - Jimenez (Davis)

    Afternoon one and all.

    Has there been any news on the likelihood of Pulisic playing at the weekend?

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    I was so right about the blanking teams being price locked.

    Said it when the fixtures were released and no one agreed with me 🙁
    Was obvious

  26. Warby84

    Think I’m set too much tinkering...
    Thoughts?

    Martinez
    Trent Lamptey Justin/Saiss Mitchell
    Salah Sterling Rodriguez Klich/Biss
    Werner Werner Martial

    Podence over Klich or maybe target for Fulham game?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years

      very similar to mine tbh. I went pod.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I might just target him for the easier run, Leeds spanked Fulham last year 3-0 so I’m going in the fact I think Klich has a chance of returns this week..

    2. Warby84

    I really expect Richarlison to explode this weekend against WBA in the early KO. In fact if it wasn't for the early KO he'd be my captain. At just 10.8% ownership though I guess he's a differential as it is. Whilst I can see why DCL is a popular investment at £1m less, Richarlison could have easily put 2 or 3 past a woeful Spurs in GW1.

    He had 7 shots in that game, 5 coming from inside the box and 2 classed as big chances. He looked lively and he will thrive playing in the final 3rd of this Everton team much more this season. He had the highest up-field position on the heatmap and the way WBA played in the opener, I expect him to punish them.

    Surprisingly, Vardy only had one penalty box touch not including the 2 he put away from the spot. Though Harvey Barnes was an absolute handful cutting inside from the left creating 5 shots for himself all inside the box. This bodes well for Richarlison this week.

    They conceded 11 shots from inside the box in total and Leicester were far from their best.

    My armband is going on Auba this week as I also fancy him to hit double digits and his his ownership isn't worth taking on. Though I'm excited about owning the Brazilian in the opener more than anyone this week.

    Good luck to all

      If Rich squares the ball to DCL he walks away with a brace. At a 1.0 saving he is the man in my opinion. Brilliant in the air and with Digne and Rodriguez supplying him I am expecting big things

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We know Rich well (FPL wise) since he's in WAT team 😉

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I hope Everton don’t disappoint as last year they struggled in easier fixtures, I just hope Rodriguez turns the eye test into points, went him over Rich think both will do well..

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

      I think Digne and Coleman will be given much more freedom to
      bomb forward against the weaker teams and fully expect that to benefit DCL.

    LMS League scoring will start in GW 2. What does this mean??

    1. Brosstan

      It resets every game week because total scores aren't the point of the league
