Sky Sports Fantasy Football: Who tops the points table after two Gameweeks?

There may have only been a handful of games played in 2020/21 but who has impressed so far and should you look to recruit any of the front-runners in the coming weeks?

With only a short period until the Overhaul, there will be a number of players on Fantasy wishlists, with plenty of planning to be done before those unlimited number of transfers are permitted.

Some players have come out of the blocks firing but that does not mean you should get on board straight away and careful calculation is required – but this is where the points have come from for the top five since the start of the season.

Son Heung-min – 30 points

Son Heung-min scored four of Tottenham Hotspur’s five goals against Southampton, all of which were assisted by England captain Harry Kane. Son took his goals superbly, but only 7.84% of Sky managers benefitted from this. Unsurprisingly, the Spurs attacker finds himself in 21.5% of the top 1,000 Fantasy teams in the game.

The Southampton fixture alone gave Son 28 of his 30 points, with a man-of-the-match award and tier two shots bonus points contributing to his total.

He will have chance to extend this with a home tie against Newcastle in Gameweek 3, with the Magpies having conceded three at home to Brighton in their last outing.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 29 points

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also scored four goals this campaign, thanks largely to a hat-trick against newly-promoted West Brom. This was after his bullet header handed Everton their first three points of the season at Tottenham. The English frontman is already well on his way to bettering his 13 Premier League goals of 2019/20. 

Again, Calvert-Lewin is only in a small proportion of Fantasy Football teams (6.62%), although he has been brought into 3.22% of sides over the course of the week – little surprise with his start to the campaign. With Crystal Palace and Brighton to play before the Overhaul, it could be worth eating into one of your 40 transfers to bring the striker in.

Wilfried Zaha – 27 points

Wilfried Zaha is an interesting one. Highly tipped in some previous articles, it was the fact that he was playing as part of a front two which drew some consideration, and the winger has done more than emphasise that point.

With a goal against Southampton followed by two against Manchester United, the Crystal Palace captain comes in at number three in the early running.

Zaha is most definitely one to monitor, both up until and after the Overhaul. Palace face only Wolves from last year’s top seven in their seven fixtures after Chelsea, which could allow him to act as a strong differential option – you could utilise Zaha as a midfielder in Sky Sports Fantasy Football and benefit from him playing in that forward position for Palace. An opportunity for points in abundance.

Gabriel Magalhaes – 25 points

It was a dream debut for Gabriel Magalhaes, who notched from a corner, helped his side to a clean sheet against Fulham and took home the man-of-the-match award on the opening weekend.

For a second successive match, the Brazilian hit over 70 passes to reach tier two bonus points from that field, taking his seasonal tally to 25 after two games – a solid start to life in the Premier League and Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

Whether Arsenal will be reliable when it comes to clean sheets is still a bit of an unknown, but under Mikel Arteta they will continue to play out from the back, so the chance for Gabriel to rack up plenty of passing bonus points is evident.

Mohamed Salah – 25 points

Mohamed Salah started the season in typical style, with a hat-trick against Leeds rewarding the 28.44% who were on board with the Egyptian international. A man-of-the-match award and tier two shot bonus points made up his 23 against Marcelo Bielsa’s side – the perfect start for the most expensive player in the game.

Salah did blank (aside from two appearance points) against Chelsea, but fear not, there are still two prime opportunities for Salah to pick up a hefty haul of points before the Overhaul. Liverpool face Arsenal on Monday, providing a potential captaincy option for that gameday, and then make the trip to Aston Villa before the international break

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

      As a Sunderland fan who watched him play on loan with us a couple of seasons back, I am astounded he's still anywhere near a football pitch tbh.

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

    What is the best midfielder u would consider up to 9 m?

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

      Son

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

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

      Havertz. Chelsea mid basically.

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

        ah I need to be convinced to get Havertz (c) and Jimmy instead of Werner (c) and Zaha or Mahrez or Foden or whatever...

    7. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      would love to be able to say Mahrez.
      but as he hasnt started one in the last six, Havertz or Pulisic

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

    any news will brewster join any team?

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

      Imagine it will rumble on until late in the window. Liverpool are under no hurry to get anything sorted immediately.

  4. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    When is PVA back? Mitchell must be on borrowed time.

    Thanks

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

      Sell Mitchell for profit when he hits 4.2

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

    Lamptey should be in your XI every week if you own him.

    Discuss.

    Can see a lot of people benching his points. He returned even in some of the difficult matches last season when Brighton weren't keeping clean sheets.

    Counter argument is that a lot of teams have the likes of Reece James, Foden and Podence who could easily sit out and Lamptey is a great 1st sub.

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

      Have all three of James, Foden and Podence so there's your answer!

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

      I think also with the unpredictable nature of COVID, it is useful to have a player of Lampteys FPL quality able to come in as a first sub.

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

      He is likely to return no more than 3-4 points in the difficult fixtures he assists in which is less than a defender with CS. I’d rather play a defender with no attacking threat but a good fixture for CS over Lamptey with a difficult fixture.

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      good first sub, and chances are that means he does get in the XI more often than not.

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

    Anyone else see Barnes starting on the bench against City? Think there’s a decent chance Rodgers will sit Leicester back more and attack on the break for an unlikely win or settle for a draw with 2 wins in the bag already...

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

      Doubt it, if he wants to play on the break then that should make Barnes even more crucial to them.

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

        Fair enough i guess. Cant see him getting 90 though

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

      He was on the bench yesterday so i think he will start.

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

      Well it happened last time they've played City so I wouldn't rule it out, as an owner I am a little bit worried but no point overreacting to one bad fixture here and there.

  7. Champione
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Scared of not having KDB. Worth a WC?

    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson James Vinagre
    Salah(C) Son Hamez ASM
    Werner Calvert-Lewin

    Button Ayling Bissouma Davis, 0FT, 3.6 ITB

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

      no

    2. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

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

      Could just take the hit on Son. I’d play Ayling over ASM too.

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

      Cheers guys. Son > KDB next week could be an option as well

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

        Yeah, that makes sense. I do fancy KDB against Leicester though.

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

          Agree. I can see a 15 pointer for him in that match

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

    Bissouma is back game after next.

    Is he the best fodder mid for wildcard?

    Burke has higher ceiling - but will he play regularly? Thanks

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

      Bissouma should be there when you need him. Burke may no longer be in the team when you do.

      1. Munchen KFC
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        really like Anguissa at Fulham

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

      I like Anguissa.

      1. Munchen KFC
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        snap

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

          Cheers.....don't know much about anguissa.

          Will check him out! Thanks

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Why we can't see the results from the captaincy poll anymore?

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

      There was a problem with the usual widget, should be back next week.

    2. the dom 1

      Just hit previous responses.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        thanks lads

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

    The issue with KDB is you rarely captain him... Sterling on the other hand, you can be far more comfortable with.

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      ?

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

      Beg to differ, especially if he stays in same role

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

      You should probably consider captaining KDB more often.

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

      I think many will disagree 😀 KDB is pretty reliable captain imo (im not getting him in this week).

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

      Maybe you do, others don't 🙂

  11. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Should i start Rudiger with Soyuncu as first sub or Rudiger->James(-4)?

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

      Would take that hit. Rudiger gonna be shipped off soon

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

        cheers

  12. x.jim.x
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The £1m question:

    Werner/Jesus + Robertson or Son + Trent?

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

      Son and Trent for me.

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

        Second one

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

        Now demand your £1m

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      S & T for me too

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      R + W for me

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

      Tricky one

      Think Werner is better than Son

      Think Trent just beats Robbo with direct free kick added to the mix

  13. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If Foden plays a lot of minutes tonight........WC shuffle

    Martinez
    Robbo Saiss Taylor
    Salah (K)db Son Havertz Podence
    Jimenez DCL

    Forster Lamptey Mitchell Brewster

    Decent?

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

    What would you change?

    Martinez
    Taylor - VVD - Saiss
    Son - KDB - Salah - Foden
    Werner - DCL - Wood

    Steer - Lamptey- Mitchell - Reed

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Great squad - very strong!

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

      I’d want some Wolves attack.

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

        planning werner > Jimmy next week

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

          Fair enough, Werner could be a tough sell if he does well this week though!

  15. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ok WC draft 2 - Please give opinion!

    Martinez [Steer]
    TAA - Saiss - Reguillon [Lamptey - Justin]
    Sterling - Salah - Zaha - Hames - Podence
    Jiminez - DCL [Davis]

    0.1 left itb so slight movement - maybe Sterling to KDB but I like Sterling while Kun is injured...

  16. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    posted on old article by mistake, any advice gents? :

    any thoughts on this WC team chaps? no Salah a risk but double Pool defence as a bit of 'cover'

    Martinez
    TAA / Robbo / Lamptey
    KDB / Son / Zaha / Foden
    Jimenez / DCL / Werner

    Steer / mitchell / Burke / Justin

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

      I like.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cheers

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really don't understand this Martinez love.

    Is this all based on his penalty save and a clean sheet against 10 men of Sheffield who are goal-shy even with 11 players?

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

      Cheap, save points, and already showed he can save a pen.

      Options are thin at that price point so just pick one and go with it I guess.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      think he just seems the better 4.5 gk option over McCarthy, maybe Ryan worth a shout at that price?

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Despite Southampton looking terrible I really think McCarthy will outscore him the next couple of games.

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          some talk of him possibly being dropped, don't know whether that's true though, if Forster starts starting could be a good bench option

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

          But its for half the season not the next couple of games

          1. Gazza2000
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Can't see a clean sheet until GW9 though

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

      Aston Villa looked solid after the restart and Martínez did well for Arsenal.

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Southampton also looked good after restart...

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

          Granted, there isn’t really a stand out keeper for me this season, Martinez is probably the man most likely though.

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

      no. based on Villa D stats after the restart

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

      Flavour of the week. But given Villa don't score many (and have looked fairly solid post-lockdown), I'd expect Martinez to be in the bonus mix with a clean sheet.

      Fixtures are quite nice too after Liverpool.

      Ryan could also be a shout. Think those 2 are better than Meslier, McCarthy and the other 4.5s.

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

      he is 4.5 decent gk beside McCarthy and Ryan, that kind of stepped up when Leno got injured. Now playing for what looks like defensively improved Villa. Nothing special in it.

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

      Look at Aston Villa's post lockdown stats and you'll understand.

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I did but if I compare them with Southampton for example I don't see much difference?

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

          That's why Southampton being bad in defense to start the season has caught so many people out. They were expected to be good. They might yet too. But for now, Martinez who is a better keeper than McCarthy, offers better value imo.

          1. Gazza2000
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough, time will tell I guess

    8. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mainly that he's not Mccarthy. Hopefully Martinez will do as a set and forget with a dgw to come.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Prefer the palacd GK at 5. Fixtures are good

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

          That 0.5m I feel is better used elsewhere. Martinez will get more saves.

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

      13 points already in the bank only 7 from the next 4 games will still give him an average of 4.0 per game,nailed ,on the rise dgw down the line ,all that and hes quite good as well....

        Not a lot of people owned him last week though, people getting him in on their wildcard won't get those 13 points from last week.

          There's a lot of kneejerking about him, no doubt, but on the other hand he's cheap and a very good goalie (like in real life), just like Pope he should get bonus in Villa's 1-0 wins quite often. Good option overall.

      its absolutely template may be good may be bad ,my thoughts are the dustbin is full of gw1 team templates,with so many choices on offer gw3 template may go the same way...

      I'd want a front three of Werner-Jesus-Jimenez if I went without Salah. Looks fine though.

    2. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like.

      Personally, not a fan of Werner yet though.

    3. SAY MY NAME

      quite similar to my team (couple of posts up) good i'd say

    4. Dire Souffle

      Go for it. I’m Salah-less with a similar mid to above and with jimi, DCL and martial upfront.

    Shameless repost - anyone else on a WC going triple Liverpool defence and triple Man City attack? Something like:

    Martinez Steer
    VVD TAA Robbo Lamptey Mitchell
    Klich KDB Foden Hamez Podence
    Jesus DCL Jimi

    1. Gregor

      Bit of a benching headache.

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

      Haven't seen many with triple city attack or triple pool defence.

      So I think you wont find many that have both, could work out great, good luck!

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years

      Very, very tempted to go for the Liverpool triple defence. Looks strong.

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

        If Alisson hadn't saved that pen you wouldn't be saying this. I don't like it. I don't think Pool are going to be as good defensively this year.

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

          I think they will, no team is going to get 38 cs but just as last season they will comfortably reach 14-15, if you add to it defenders' attacking returns value-wise (and point-wise) they are going to mop up any other player in their price bracket or even dearer, Liverpool squad is very strong, no big chances conceded so far and having a world class goalie saving penalties is a plus actually 😉

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Interesting fact - Piper Maru is Gillian Anderson's daughter's name and they named an episode of the X Files after her in season 3.

              That's sort of origin of my nickname, there's also ice-cracker in Aliens vs Predator called like that, just like the sound of that word if it makes any sense 😉

          I was toying with this in preseason, but didn't follow through. Fancy trying something a tad different after ending up below 5,000,000 overall after the first two weeks. Knee jerk? Possibly. Thought through? I hope so 😉

  23. Lee8686

    Looking at hitting the WC this week with the below

    0.2 ITB

    Guaita
    TAA, Saiss, James
    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Foden, Zaha
    Jiminez, DCL

    Martinez, Mitrovic, Mitchell, Justin

    Any thoughts? I wanted KDB but could figure out how to get him in without spreading myself too thin

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

      Looks nice imo, also considering leaving KDB and Sterling out..

      1. Lee8686
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Also temped to downgrade Mitrovic (good fixtures but not sure I'll use him too much) and upgrade one of the defenders to Digne)

    What are people's thoughts on Kane (c) this GW?

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

      Not for me, no.

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

        Son has ruined him hasnt he?

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

          Yep could only muster 4 assists and a goal

        2. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          It depends how Newcastle play really, Kane can often disappoint in these home games against teams that sit deep though.

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

      He's had a lot of game time, I worry for any Spurs players atm, could get a 60min game only, so need to hope he returns by then,

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

        Thanks! Makes sense

    3. Now I'm Panicking

      Could be an awesome differential

    4. skodaole2
      • 11 Years

      Between him and Son, i think i ll go for Kane.

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

      I think it’s a good fixture for it.

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

    Surprised by all this value talk. I used to care and even take hits to avoid price drops. I feel I was a casual back then. In these days I do transfers as late as possible with the maximum amount of information.
    Having said that, I did do Auba and ASM to KDB and Podence early this week. It was a 0.4m swing and I had two freebies.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Used to avoid drops like the plague too but this season I'm just riding it out. Team isn't that bad and Son quickly went up again after a good performance, so hoping my players do the same.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Building value in this early part of the season is always useful later on, but it's important to have a sense of perpective and not go chasing price rises just for the sake of it. Just do what you did - get the players you want when it's advantageous price-wise. (I'm a bit biased because I also bought those two early - on a WC)

      i shall let vinagre and soucek diminish in value ,they are only subs anyway,its not uncommon to have up to 1.0 m sitting in the bank come mid season ,value is rather dramatised...

  27. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How’s she looking? I’m not convinced with no TAA and second City attacker tbh

    Ryan
    Taylor Saiss James
    Mane KDB Son Zaha
    Jimmy DCL Ings

    Forster Burke Lamptey Mitchell

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Pretty good. Personally while ings is a great option i would prefer mitrovic and get some pool at the back. Good luck

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

      Son to Foden
      Zaha to Podence
      Taylor to Trent

  28. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ralph H holds the key for a lot of McCarthy and KWP owners, he needs to go back to how they defended v City last season and in general not this crazy high line. Palace sussed it in about 15 mins and yet they persisted with it. Spurs finally sussed it but should of done a lot quicker.

    McCarthy looks too wooden to be a sweeper keeper, the FBs bomb on, no Hojberg, Romeu and the CBs too slow to cover in a foot race. If they played Everton at home that way right now it would be any score

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

      Romeu is shitty

  29. thewhitepele
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Got 2ft's and 0.0m itb. Got several players that I want to get rid of. Seriously considering if KDB/Sterling + e.g. Podence is worth it vs. 2 of Zaha/James/Foden?

    McCarthy
    TAA Saiss Davies
    Salah Auba Son Soucek
    Werner Mitro Adams

    Nyland, ASM, Justin, Holding

    A) Auba, ASM -> KDB, Podence
    B) Auba, ASM -> Zaha, James/Foden
    D) Auba, ASM, Werner -> KDB, Zaha/James, DCL (-4)
    C) Something else?

  30. alexh87
