The best Everton players to sign as Calvert-Lewin posts big FPL points haul

Everton 5-2 West Brom

  • Goals: Dominic Calvert-Lewin x3 (£7.1m), James Rodríguez (£7.5m), Michael Keane (£5.0m) | Grady Diangana (£5.5m), Matheus Pereira (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Richarlison x3 (£8.0m), Rodriguez | M Pereira
  • Red cards: Kieran Gibbs (£4.5m)
  • Bonus Points: Calvert-Lewin x3, Rodríguez x2, Richarlison x1

Fantasy Premier League managers who jumped onto the Everton bandwagon early were richly rewarded with a goalfest at Goodison Park.

But it was largely only those who invested in the attacking assets who enjoyed watching a 5-2 win over West Bromwich Albion, which featured some clinical finishing, as well as questionable defending from both sides.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.1m) was the match’s top-scoring player, registering his first career hat-trick and taking his goal-tally for the season to four in two matches.

The Englishman appears to have finally picked up where he left off pre-lockdown. After a disappointing run of performances during Project Restart, Calvert-Lewin has put in two shot-laden displays reminiscent of Carlo Ancelotti’s early days at Everton.

“(Ancelotti) is on me every day for one-touch finishes and being in the right area of the pitch to find the back of the net. It’s nice that what we’re working on in training is coming off in matches.” – Dominic Calvert-Lewin

The mid-priced forward stalked the six-yard box like a true poacher all afternoon, getting just rewards for his presence in that area of the pitch.

The first goal came as Calvert-Lewin pounced on a loose ball after a defensive header, back-heeling it over the line. Then he slid in at the back-post to help Richarlison‘s (£8.0m) effort from a tight angle into the net. And he leapt highest to connect with a James Rodríguez (£7.5m) cross just after the hour-mark, turning it in with his back.

It could have been an even more memorable afternoon for Calvert-Lewin, as he missed an easy chance in the early exchanges, nodding a Rodríguez corner wide at the far post.

There will be those that point to Kieran Gibbs‘ (£4.5m) red card in first-half stoppage time as a key reason for Everton’s domination of this fixture and Calvert-Lewin’s 17-point haul. However, it must be said that West Bromwich Albion were guilty of poor defending across the entire fixture, not just after going down to 10 men. At the very least, that is good news for Chelsea attackers in Gameweek 3, while Southampton host the Baggies in Gameweek 4.

When Calvert-Lewin was showing this kind of form at the start of the calendar year, he was close to becoming fixture-proof, so considering the appealing nature of the upcoming fixtures, there is sure to be more to come.

Calvert-Lewin faces Crystal Palace (away), Brighton (home), Liverpool (home) and Southampton (away) between now and Gameweek 6, fixtures which are sure to encourage investment.

Fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on Ancelotti’s subsequent press conferences in the next week though, just to be safe. With the game tied up at 5-2, Calvert-Lewin was replaced by Alex Iwobi (£6.0m) in the 71st minute and sat down with an ice-pack on his hamstring. The player himself did report that all was fine after the full-time whistle, while his manager did not touch on the subject.

“Yeah absolutely, my hamstring’s fine.” – Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Calvert-Lewin’s 17-point haul is likely to overshadow impressive performances elsewhere in Everton team, which Fantasy managers should certainly make themselves aware of.

Despite not getting onto the scoresheet for the second match in a row, Richarlison was dangerous once again, his role in the Everton front-line yielding three assists. That made for a Gameweek 2 score of 12 points, just five short of Calvert-Lewin’s total.

The first assist came as he teed up Rodríguez on the stroke of half-time, it was his saved shot that was turned home on the rebound by Michael Keane (£5.0m) after the interval and Calvert-Lewin turned in his wide-angled shot just after the hour-mark.

Considering the price difference between Everton’s two FPL forwards, Richarlison is likely to be the least popular of the two for any Fantasy managers chasing the best avenue for investment. But with Richarlison’s constant threat, and appealing fixtures, his 11.2% ownership will be more than happy to hold.

However, there will be significantly more attention on Rodríguez, whose midfield classification could be enough to tempt Fantasy managers to pay a little bit extra for his services in comparison to Calvert-Lewin.

The Colombian international was equally as impressive against West Bromwich Albion as in his Premier League debut at Spurs, although against more favourable opposition, he was able to get on the ball much closer to the penalty area.

Furthermore, Rodríguez confirmed on Saturday that he will be giving Lucas Digne (£6.1m) a run for his money in terms of set piece responsibilities, as he finished the game joint-top for corners (five).

As a result, Rodríguez came away with a goal and an assist, making for a 12-point haul. Like was the case with Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, it could have been an even bigger haul for the midfielder, as he was denied two more assists by his team-mates. It was Rodríguez’s corner that Calvert-Lewin put wide early on, while he might have got an assist for a Richarlison goal in the second half, had Calvert-Lewin not helped it over the line at the last.

Rodríguez’s presence in the team, both in terms of threat and creativity, is not only enough to justify considering him for Fantasy inclusion, but it is clear the likes of Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin are benefiting from playing alongside the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder. In their first three matches in all competitions this season, Everton have totalled 64 shots on goal, an average of 21.3 per game.

“Dominic Calvert-Lewin started really well. Today he was the top scorer but Richarlison did really well and had a lot of opportunities. He had support from James, who is doing really well in this period. He has a fantastic desire to play and he loves to play with us.” – Carlo Ancelotti.

“As a centre-forward it’s nice to have (Rodríguez) when you think about the level he’s played at.” – Dominic Calvert-Lewin

However, while Fantasy managers had plenty to fawn over in terms of Everton’s attacking credentials, Ancelotti’s defence largely failed to live up to expectations set by last week’s win over Spurs.

While Allan (£5.5m) has added so much needed bite to Everton’s midfield, and Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) had a good afternoon in terms of mopping up loose balls in midfield, neither one could legislate for the errors that led to West Bromwich Albion scoring twice at Goodison Park.

Jordan Pickford‘s (£5.0m) distribution was poor, which set the tone among Everton’s defence in terms of giving the ball away. When West Bromwich Albion won possession high up the pitch in the 10th minute, Yerry Mina (£5.5m) allowed Grady Diangana (£5.5m) too much space and time to fire in the opening goal. 

Shortly afterwards, West Brom caught Everton napping at the back once again, Jake Livermore (£5.0m) left unmarked to rattle Pickford’s right-hand post.

While the Baggies were able to add a second goal via a Matheus Pereira  (£6.0m) free-kick in the second half, the sending off certainly eased the pressure on Everton’s defence, so it will be interesting to see how Ancelotti and their players respond for the trip to Crystal Palace. They also face Liverpool in Gameweek 5…

“The result doesn’t reflect what really happened on the pitch. In the first half, they (West Brom) were better but we had a good reaction to their goal and the game was easier in the second half. We have to be better at the back but I have seen more ambition, motivation and focus (in the new season) and we have to pay attention as every game can be difficult. I am happy with a great result but if you look a performance, there are lot of points in which we we can do better. We were without balance at the beginning but after two games it’s normal that everything is not perfect” – Carlo Ancelotti

Everton’s defensive issues ensured a frustrating afternoon for those invested in Digne, who picked up more than 300,000 new owners for Gameweek 2. As he conceded two goals and did not manage an attacking return, the Frenchman followed up last week’s 12-pointer with a round score of just one.

That said, there was still plenty to admire in Digne’s performance, with enough indicators of his Fantasy potential this season.

The Frenchman was a constant thorn in West Brom’s side, the most targetted player of any pass from Rodríguez on Saturday afternoon. As a result, Digne was heavily involved in Everton’s attacking play down the left-hand side and high up the pitch. While the Colombian is likely to reduce Digne’s set piece appeal compared to last season, the left-back remains involved. In fact, he crashed Sam Johnstone‘s (£4.5m) crossbar with a venomous direct free-kick around the hour-mark. Further big hauls are almost certainly around the corner…

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Doucouré (Sigurdsson 65′), Allan, Gomes; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin (Iwobi 71′), Rodríguez (Kean 78′).

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; Gibbs, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana (Edwards 71′), Sawyers (Field 75′), Livermore, M Pereira (M Phillips 71′); C Robinson.

    1ft 0ITB - Would you wildcard this lot?
    McCarthy* - Steer
    TAA Davies** Ayling* Taylor Mitchell
    Auba** Salah Alli** Soucek Bissouma
    Werner Martial Adams

    4 outfield players that need addressing, some more urgently than others, could get away with a hit or two maybe but still not really content. Potential players to bring in:
    Martinez
    Saiss, James, Keane etc
    KDB, Sterling, Hamez, Zaha, Podence etc
    DCL, Jimenez, Jesus

    Thoughts?

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

      Keane is uh... very much points chasing imo

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

        Tbf i was considering him last week as well, but I did think Everton would be more solid than perhaps they looked today

        Saiss firmly first choice for the 5.0 spot

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

      I wouldn’t as you can get a team out and we don’t have enough data (eg Calvert Lewis will not get 72 goals, manu are unlikely to get relegated etc.) . The proposed team does look nice though so it’s a strategy call.

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

        Sound advice cheers

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It's sound advice if you want to be an "also ran". Get on the foot front and play your wildcard if you want to. Chelsea and Wolves have great fixtures.

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

    0.5itb, Soucek—>

    A) Klich
    B) Podence
    C) keep

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

      hold Socek

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

        Seriously? Horror run of fixtures Vs Podence who looks great and has a lot of blue fixtures.

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

          Will he actually score points tho?

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

          Get Podence in mate. Soucek's fixtures are horrific as you say, Wolves have a great run and Podence will start every game.

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

            Be more inclined to go Klich I think atm cos of pens.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keep.

  3. Rinseboy

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Show of hands who is planning to wildcard this week?
    I'm tempted after a very rough start!
    Team is currently

    Mccarthy Steer
    TAA Dier Justin Ayling Mitchell
    Salah Auba James Soucek Rashford
    Adams Werner Davis

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

      You need to get rid of Auba. Golden rule of fpl: never, ever invest in gooners. Ever. Hold your nerve on the others.

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

        He could be the highest point scorer this season tho :O

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

          Get him back in for GW 8...

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

        I guess you weren’t around when Fabregas was there

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

      Horrendous forward line. With Jesus, Kane,Vardy, Wilson, Bamford, DCL, Martial, etc etc attractive, I think we have to go big up top. It’s not like previous seasons where if you invested heavily in an expensive forward, it meant an injury or loss of form would mean reallocating funds to midfield. It’ll be More easy to Trf in/out of the forwards this year

  4. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone considering a 4-3-3 with TAA AND Digne?

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

      I prefer cheap defence

  5. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If you make 2 transfers, and take a hit (-4 pts).
    Do you get your points back if you wildcard in the same gameweek later on?

    Debating on whether to bring in some players before price rises.
    Speaking of which, what time do they usually occur?

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Midnight.

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

        Not sure you’re night about midnight. Pretty sure points only come off at the start of the next game week. So if you WC, I’m pretty sure zero points taken off.

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

          Ignore me. Misread the above. Sorry.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

      Hmmm... interesting, thanks all.

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

    Caption Auba was disappointing and shows how it's totally ok to go with your gut regardless the masses as I planned to captain James or Rich but avoided the early kick off you know .. it's a myth too

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

      Captaining*

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

      My gut told mento captain digne but masses swayed me. Theory fail

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

        Maybe your gut is not in form

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

        It was a nice shout to be honest bit unlucky he didn't haul

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

      my gut was martial... glad i didn't listen to it.

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

        Did WC and got no Manu players thank god I got away with it

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

      Yeah I was heavily tempted by Rodriguez this week but left VC on him.. nevermind!!

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

        Yea anyway no big damage too far and happy with Everton differentials anyways

  7. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    First WC draft

    Martinez
    TAA Saiss Lamptey
    Salah KDB Rodriguez Podence
    Werner Jimenez DCL

    (4.0 Bissouma Mitchell 4.0)
    0.3m

    I definitely need another 4.5 but not sure where to downgrade. That Vinagre drop is not hurting!

    Thoughts?

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

      Almost identical to mine

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        and mine 🙂

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

      Salah > Sterling? Bit of gamble
      TAA > Robbo?
      Rodriguez > Zaha?
      Podence > Soucek?
      Just some potential options i'm considering

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        First 3 definitely worth considering. But I think Podence will do much better than Soucek with Wolves fixtures and Jota gone.

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

          Yeh think I agree, not really sure about his goal scoring record tho

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

      I love this

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks!

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss to a 4.5 to enable an upgrade of the 4.0s

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Or Podence to Soucek who looks so threatening

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        or TAA to Digne.

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

    Soucek to Podence?

    Have Havertz and Adams also going to drop in value..

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

      Thinking Soucek—>Klich personally for pen danger. And Wolves also switch to 352 sometimes where Podence could drop

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is Soucek dropping tonight? Maybe got a day or to think. I do like Pod though.

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

      havertz out may be more a priority but wait until tomorrow's game

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

    Speaking from experience, don't use your wildcard so early, we still don't have enough data and points are coming from all over the places, i thought my wildcard team was too good to fail, i was wrong.

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You are correct. That's what I was thinking, theres not enough data available and everyone is scoring.

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

      The first wildcard never seems extremely successful unless you’re lucky anyway. I used it and it’s a little annoying a few of my players blanked but I got on some prices rises like DCL and Digne. I would not have owned DCL especially if I didn’t WC.

      Tbf I was in the top 1k last season, then wildcarded gw9 and fell to 250k by Xmas. Just depends really on each team.

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Calm, it’s one week. No team scores great every week

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

      Yeah but the original winner WC GW2 not sure it really matters.. I had a feeling about a few players so made an early move on WC this week and pretty happy with the squad..

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

      It depends.

      I also WC and it went well, but did so to target 5 players in Wolves and Everton, only the 1 united. Its more so going too many United players that made a WC bad this week.

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

    Advice much appreciated!! Willain to hamez tonight for free before price rise?

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

    Richarlison is 100% a better pick then James at everton for just 0.5mil more

    Yes different positions but not getting all 3 so richarlsion dcl seem best

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would like DCL but not losing Vardy & got the new boy Werner & Richarlison

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

      But could mean u miss out on the likes of Jimenez, Werner, Jesus

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Better strikers than mids in that price range though. Its a mil more as well.

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

        0.5 mil not a mil?

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Rounding, because DCL has already risen

        2. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          sorry my bad, was thinking Rich was 8.5 for some reason. You're good.

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

      Richarlison really P***ed off with Calvert-Lewin, didn’t even acknowledge him when he left the pitch.. Not sure he’s overly happy...

  12. raff97
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who to play next week?
    A) Ayling (shu)

    Bottomed:

    13.2m to spend on one midfielder and one attacker, both need to be in my starting 11 every week. Who do you go for?

    1. Better luck next year

          Brewster may be on his way to Palace, leaving you £8.7m in midfield.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      Podence. DCL.

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

        Apologies, should have said i already have DCL hahaha..

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

      Wilson and Podence?

  15. Better luck next year
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you wildcard this team?

    McCarthy
    TAA James Mitchell
    Salah Auba Bruno ASM
    Mitro Werner Adams

    Walton Bissouma Holding Justin

    Or just do Auba to KDB if City looks decent tomorrow?

  16. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo?

    1. Jimmy + Hamez + 4.5 mid

    2. Sterling + Podence + 4.5 forward

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

      Rhian Brewster looks set to join Sheffield so would be a good (hopefully) playing 4.5 forward to use in option 2

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

      2

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

    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    McCarthy
    Robertson RJames Saiss
    Salah Sterling Zaha JRodriguez
    Werner(c) DCL Watkins
    (Button, Podence, Justin, Mitchell)

    1. Better luck next year
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks nice. No money ITB to upgrade Robbo to Trent?

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

        No, probably could find it (Watkins to Bamford downgrade is one option) but TAA lack of preseason seemed to have impacted his form in the England match and Liverpool match vs Leeds. If he seems any better vs Arsenal, I'll upgrade to him, if not I plan to wait until he seems better.

        I'm aware it is always risky to go without him though.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Wolves attack?

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

        Pod

  18. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What should I do ?

    McCarthy
    Trent Ayling Justin Taylor
    Bruno Auba (c) Salah ASM
    DCL Werner

    Steer,KWP,Soucek,Wickham

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba to Sterling/KDB

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

      Aubameyang to Sterling

  19. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Those thinking of wildcard

    Just remember covid and not to chase points. Taking a minus 4 is better value atm imo to get the players you want

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

      Early WCs has an advantage of building team value in addition to be able to react and make changes based on knowledge of team and player forms which isn't available at the start of the season.

      I realise many react to a bad GW with WC but my plan was to WC on GW3 from the beginning and still think it's an ideal strategy regardless.

  20. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So I'm currently Salah-less. I was going to do Auba > KDB but then looked at the fixtures of both teams and it seems like Salah is the one to have long term. Home game against Arsenal next week and City in week 8 but then it's pretty much green fixtures through to week 18.

    Meanwhile City have some tough fixtures with Spurs (A) off the back of the Liverpool game and have Arsenal in a few GW's and United a few GW's after Spurs.

    I might get both eventually but seems like Salah is the biggest priority.

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

    Are you holding Bruno after that dispointment?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ofc

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

      Yes for now. If they play the same sh1t way against brighton too then he's out

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nope. See ya. Fixtures look tougher now after that shambles.

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

      Yes, why not. He might do well against Brighton. But I’m not keeping after GW4/5

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

        Why did he play so deep? Didint look dangerous at all...10.5 is so expensive.

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

          Yeah he looked bad but you can’t just decide that after 1 game and they’ll probably win against Brighton with him involved.

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

      I’ve dropped. They look a bit of a shambles. He’s not looking sharp and positioned dulled. Moved to Rodriguez so I can upgrade Soucek next week.

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

      yes

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

      I'm not as I'm wildcarding. I would probably keep for now if I wasn't on WC but when Van De Beek came in, Bruno moved further back to Pogba's position and with Van de Beek performing better than Pogba, he could get more minutes and there is definitely a major risk with Bruno's positioning going forward.

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

    Almost rage transferred out bruno and martial. Would have regretted those hits...

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

    Who to get for Willian + Auba + 2.5 ITB?

    Don't have United, City or Salah.

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

      Salah and Fernandes seems the obvious choice

  24. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Klich or Podence?

    Cheers!

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

      Klich

  25. Gunners for Lyfe
    • 11 Years

    Magnus up at 48k..this guy knows his chess

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who's he?

  26. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Where can I find information on how many people captained which player this week?

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

    Ings to Jimenez or Richarlison, or DCL?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rich or dcl imo. Jimenez never score more than a goal.

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

      Rich, I reckon in he's coming in with a massive haul soon. (am a DCL ownere)

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same here. You consideeing the double up? Rich looked involved in everything.

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone know the extent of Pulisic injury?

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

    What to do with soucek?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bench? He was always a cheap rotsation player surely?

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

        Going down in price it seems

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

      Keep, I'm planning to get him in at some point.

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

    Which makes more sense? Have KdB and no Chelsea.

    A. Auba -> Sterling
    B. Auba -> Havertz/Pulisic

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

      A
