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.

    Anyone know anything about "André-Frank Zambo Anguissa" (£4.5m)?
    Got an assist today (v leeds) and may consider starting v Villa (h) next gameweek.

    1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Played well and took up a more advanced position once they needed goals, but at 4.5 what's the risk is a good sub midfielder, Bissouma is comparable but plays much more defensive

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

      Just realised Fulham have some great fixtures ahead, if he starts then may just put him in for the next 3-5 gameweeks.

      1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly right, that's why I kept mitro...

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

        Doubt he’ll get you any points above 2 per game. 4.5 are 4.5 for a reason.

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

      He doesn’t seem to be nailed

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

    How nailed is Reece James? Played with Azpil and Alonso on the field.

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      RMT tool gives a best estimate

    2. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's nailed on for this game, but can't see him being a long term option for Chelsea unless of injuries or he miraculously keeps up his form

  3. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Palace unlucky not to put 6 or 7 past United! Also, why didn’t Bruno Fernandes play? 😉

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      😆

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      Luckily I have no United 😛

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      That's an overreaction

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is it though? Looked like a bottom half team with that performance

      2. I Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It really isn't. Palace looked like they could score everytime they came forward.

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

    Ville Ronka benched Mitrovic
    Jay Eggersdorff transferred out Pereira for Harrison

    That is all.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Casuals 😆

      Why have Mitro if youre not gonna even play him vs Leeds

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

        Agree, especially considering he played 4.5 defenders over him. Insane decision really.

        • 14 Years

        Played Ayling instead.

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

          Btw TM I wanted to include your transfer but I decided not to XD Unlucky

          1. TorresMagic™

            That's FPL.

    4. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      my colleague at work has 47 pts, but also has peiera and mitro on bench!
      he should be on a massive 70pts
      I feel for him. he's a leeds a supporter and doesnt take fpl seriously,
      i reckon he didn't put mitro in as he's playing against his team

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

        haha i can't handle those kind of people, they would frustrate me just seeing their team. they're the real winners though as they don't get so invested in the game!

        1. All about the galacticos
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I like players like that, they put together very interesting teams.
          part of me used to be like that, pretty much played played scholes every game of the season
          the "experts" kind of have the same 6-8 players

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jay’s move makes sense

      1. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        if he did on wc, it makes sense or net neutral for a 5.5 placeholder
        if not on wc, I can't see that it's the most pressing transfer

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

        Nah

  5. NABIL - FPL otai

      No

    3. mattk lfc

      If Spurs are atrocious again later I'd consider it but their fixtures are still favourable. Rest of the team is good

      No way. Most of team good. I have Dier too and wonder why, but wait and see, better to save we for real emergency or when clearer what's going on with Utd City Chelsea etc.

  6. PepSala

    Would you wildcard from this:

    Button Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo KWP Vinagre Taylor
    Salah Auba ASM 4.5 4.5
    Martial Ings Wilson

    To this:

    Button Ramsdale
    TAA Saiss James Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah KDB Podence Rodriguez Biss
    Jimenez Werner Bamford

    Rodriguez could be Zaha
    James could be Tierney
    Ramsdale could be Mccarthy

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep I'd WC that

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

      Tbh, I wouldn't be confident that the WC team would score more points than the previous one.

      If looking for transfer value then would consider it.

  7. unlethal

    A. Podence + 1.9

      Palace could easily regress, you know how frustrating Zaha can be. But wait until Monday to decide.

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

    Hey fam. Which option for this week?

    A. Auba to Sterling
    B. Auba to Sterling & Adams to Jimenez (-4)

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

      So the hit or no?

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

        Yes exactly

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

      B could be decent tbh considering Wolves run of fixtures. I'm normally averse to hits but that is one I would possibly make.

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

        Cheers mate

    3. mattk lfc

      I'd do it. Jimi's next 5 games are a dream

      1. Pep Roulette

        Cheers mate

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

      Wait to see how Adams shakes out against tott. Burnley backline looks a bit banged up for next week too. So might be able hold off a week and avoid the hit?

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

        Really good point! Cheers mate!

  9. BROOKLYN GOONER

    Is it true that Bale is already injured and won't be available for a month?

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

      It's just rumours at this point. Surely he's been training in Madrid and keeping fit as per his contract so he should be fine to play games here. They wouldn't sign an injured player.

      1. BROOKLYN GOONER
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Despite my handle, would love to see him do well, but I dunno. Good luck.

      2. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They might have... Chelsea bought Chilwell, knew Silva would need a couple of weeks rest... for example. It's going to be a long intense season.

    2. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hahaha yep, although he was shipped over with a pre-existing injury. Talk about damaged goods! I think spurs are really rolling the dice now

    On a WC

    McCarthy (Steer)

    Taylor - Justin - TAA - Saiss (Mitchell)

    Zaha - Salah - KdB - James (Anguissa)

    Werner - Jimi (Brewster)

    0.4 ITB

    Thoughts about Zaha? And should I find a way to fit DCL in?
    Thanks!

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

      I like Zaha in this new and improved Palace team. That's a great team. I think Jimi will get a truckload of points over his upcoming games so that will offset any DCL points imo. Can't have everyone.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Nope liking your WC team.

      Unsure about McCarthy though

    Hey Lads wish you all good luck
    Did Auba to Salah for Free already
    I know it's too early to judge but
    G2G or anything for hit Vardy to Jimi maybe ?

  12. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years

    Soucek to Podence for a hit? Price fall would lock me out of this...

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

      I wouldn't

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

      Not enough of a priority to do for a hit imo

    3. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence looks promising, but not worth a hit

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

  13. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Auba-> KDB (or possibly Sterling).
    Anything else standing out?

    McCarthy.
    Shaw, TAA, Ayling.
    Auba, Salah, Son ASM.
    Werner, DCL, Adams.
    Button, Bissouma, Mitchell, Justin.
    2ft, 0.5m ITB.

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing else worth a hit.

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

      I'd get Adams out as soon as possible. Rest of the team is fine once Auba -> KDB is done.

    3. MagicMessi

    So now I have to subscribe to this “Peacock” to see most of the matches?

      Or just stream online tbh

      Peacock?

      Reddit soccer streams works really well for me

    Well Auba has not gotten off to a great start has he? I was very worried not having him last night but only 5 points from him should be considered a massive fail.

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

      He's always been like this though, or at least for the past season he was basically a wide winger and would frustrate often. He's a flat track bully and gets his goals in clusters.

      1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bit harsh to call him a flat track bully, he's scored plenty goals for a poor Arsenal in big matches. Can only imagine in a better performing Arsenal his tally to rise no matter the opposition

    I hope Son is having a good night's sleep right now. Important to rest up for his big day today.

    Why did TM sell Mitro for a hit?

      easy to kick people when they're down mate... so many better striker options than Mirror going forward

    Was looking at WC’ing this week, but after going Auba and Adams > KDB and DCL (-4), I’d be curious to know if I still need to WC? Would be doing it to bring Wolves players in and change my GK.

    Johnstone (Button)
    TAA Robertson KWP (Justin Mitchell)
    Salah KDB Rodriguez ASM (Bissouma)
    Werner DCL Mitrovic

    WC Draft thoughts?

    Guaita Emi
    TAA Saiss Reece Taylor Lamptey
    Salah Sterling (Puli/Haverts/Ziyech - depends on fitness) 6.0 4.5
    Jimenez DCL Bamford

    Is 40 points from 3 players on Saturday good?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's amazing

  21. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Davies to Saiss for a hit?
    Or Reed/Bissouma to Podence for a hit?
    If Davies doesn't play, I'll have to start Bissouma.. so it's basically like having a 2 pointer, even a small return from my replacement is enough to break even.

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

      Saiss

  22. jia you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    RMWCT please folks:

    Pope
    Digne Coady James
    Salah KdB Rod Klich
    Werner Jimenez DCL
    (PF Lampty Bissouma Mitchell)

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

      Pretty much as the inform players. James will eventually lose his spot at the back, and Coady is only good for a cs.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for the feedback mate...yeah I want Saiss but some Wolves fans reckon that there's a chance that he loses his place whereas Coady is 100% nailed

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

          Looses his place to Marcal?

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

          I initially thought he was at risk too with the Marcal signing but with Marcal playing LWB, I don't think there is too much risk for Saiss.

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

            What about Bennett?

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

              A name from the past - I thought he'd gone to Leicester reserves. Must have been a loan. Anyway, no threat.

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yeah, I think so too and I might actually change Coady to Saiss...far more upside!

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

            It still depends on this Telles fella. If United go cold and he ends up at Wolves, it might be bad news for Saiss-owners (me). Two game-weeks to hang on before TDD.

  23. FCSB

    McCarthy
    TAA Egan Davies Justin
    Salah Aubameyang Son ASM
    Werner Ings

    Button Bissouma Mitchell Brewster

    0.0 itb, 2FT

    Whats the move here?

    1. Aub >> KDB 1FT
    2. Aub Egan >> KDB Saiss
    3. Aub ASM >> KDB Podence
    4. Aub Ings >> KDB Jimenez
    5. Other suggestions ??

    Thanks all much appreciated!

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1

      Aren't you looking to sell Davies though? With the reguilon signing

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

        Yes good point, I was blind sided by his fixtures but you’re right he was probably priority... so

        Aub Davies >> KDB Saiss ??

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

      I had a similar side, Egan and Justin the only differences in the xi. I WCd.

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

        Really!! How many changes did you make

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

          WC not final but McCarthy, Davies, Coleman, Auba, Son, ASM, Ings, Gordon all out for me.

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

            What’s your current draft? I’m considering it now haha

  24. Cahill17
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How does the Reguilon signing effect Davis minutes goinf forward? Is he less likely to start now?

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

      I reckon so.

    2. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

      Reg might be injured

  25. Lav
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    3.2m OR, the season could have not started any worse. Really tough to take after a 6k OR finish last season, they are rare but those are the standards you always want.

    Early days, but have to take action and turn it around. WC now active, clean slate and we move. Positivity. Hope the seasons gone well for you DZ! 🙂

    1. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      How do you think Chelsea line up today? I really don't want to see Kai tracking back to mark Robbo all game

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

        I reckon it has to be 4-3-3 to match Liverpools midfield. If we play 4231, Mount will 100% be at the 10 due to his workrate. I agree though I really do not want Kai on the right, but there seems to be no confidence in CHO so sadly I think he will be there. I would be tempted by Werner off to the left, Kai F9 personally.

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

          I like werner left with giroud as the focal point but Kai at RW again will make me cry

        2. Heskey Time
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I was thinking maybe a 343 but we shall see. Personally that’s how I would line them up given the players available

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

            It will still be a work in progress, with Barkley hopefully adding a bit more nous than RLC did. It will take another game or two with Ziyech and Pulisic back before we see them singing.

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

        Havartz was neither attacking nor defending.... He wont track back

        I expect a Pool win

  26. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What is my priority?
    A. Davies to Saiss
    Or
    B. ASM to Podence

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

    Would you have double Wolves in Podence and Saiss?

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

      Some will have Jimmy too.

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

      Going with Jimmy & Podence!

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

      Yes definitely with those fixtures. Even a 3rd one could work.

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

        Yes. I've got Jimi and Saiss, and long contemplated Podence before plumping for Klich as he's more nailed and on pens. But Podders would be my next choice.

  28. Heskey Time
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard team here we go:

    Martinez
    James saiss Robertson
    Salah KDB Hamez zaha podence
    Werner martial

    Steer, Mitchell, 4.0, Brewster

    Thinking with jota at pool now Brewster can get his move

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

      Slightly risky with that bench but good other than that. I prefer Jimenez over Martial after today's performance but not much to it, Martial could do well too.

      Martinez fixtures are not great so that could be a slight issue.

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

      Looks good! Jimmy over Martial though without any doubt!

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

        Martial will outscore steady-eddie Jimenez over time, but for now I'd invest (I HAVE invested) in Jimi.

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

    On a wc

    Mccharty 4.0
    James Mitchell Justin kwp Lewis
    Salah Kdb Bruno JamRod bissou
    Werner dcl Bamford

    Ideas? Downgrade Bruno and get Taa and another upgrade?

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

    On wc now, jesus or werner?

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

      How long are we talking about? I've gone for Werner as a season-keeper. Jesus might be better short-term while Chelski bed in, but in time Aguero will be back.

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

        Short term but werner does not impress me

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

      Jesus

      Tried a draft with Kevin, Sterling, Jesu?

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

        No just kdb and sterling. Went for Salah since most have him

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

        Sry just jesus and kdb. Keeping salah.
