Why I look to the underlying stats rather than FPL points for early-season transfers

FPL Family’s Sam explains how player stats help her decide whether to stay loyal to a Fantasy asset early in the season.


Transfer strategy and planning is one of the biggest parts of Fantasy Premier League management in the first few Gameweeks of the season.

There are always some players who come from nowhere to embark on a fantastic run, regardless of fixtures. This season, players like Patrick Bamford (£5.8m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.4m) seem to be falling into that category.

With these players, it makes sense to move early and benefit not only from their form and FPL points but also from price rises and therefore valuable improvements in team value.

However, there are others who have made an excellent start to the season and returned good early points for their managers but who haven’t necessarily had the history of consistent FPL returns. This makes many experienced Fantasy managers wary and question whether they are a wise investment in the long term or whether they are a transfer waiting to happen in a few weeks when the purple patch ends and their returns falter. 

For me, Alexandre Lacazette (£8.5m) may very well fall into this category, which potentially explains why his ownership is still very low even though he has returned seven points in each of the opening three Gameweeks of the season.

Separating the long-term picks from those that have short-term potential and those that we should avoid altogether can be a challenge, especially when this is coupled with decisions on players that you own already and would have to make way for one of these in-form assets. 

During pre-season, I was hugely impressed with Che Adams (£5.9m). He was eye-catching with his attacking returns, positioning, partnership with Danny Ings (£8.4m) and general all-round match fitness and attitude. Fast forward to Gameweeks 1 and 2 and Southampton really struggled to get going. At this stage, Adams took a price drop as many managers looked to make the move away from a Southampton team who seemed off-kilter.

However, a look through the Premium Members Area suggested that actually, it wasn’t necessarily an easy decision and that the underlying stats were there to support maintaining the faith in Adams. Maybe, just maybe, transferring him out was premature. 

Adams’ expected goals (xG) tally across the opening two Gameweeks suggested he was incredibly unlucky not to have returned. His xG currently is sitting at 1.28 for the 2020/21 season, his expected goal involvement (xGI) is 1.52, and he ranks very highly in Joe’s ‘Goals Imminent’ table – so his underlying stats suggested he is worth some loyalty.

He has had 89 touches so far this season, registering a touch every 2.7 minutes, with a goal involvement of 50% and a successful take-on percentage of 100%. His total of six goal attempts is more than Anthony Martial (£8.9m) with two, Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) with four, and level with his much more expensive teammate Danny Ings (£8.4m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.0m).

Adams finally returned in Gameweek 3, registering his first assist of the season as Southampton bounced back from their defeat by Spurs in Gameweek 2. That wasn’t before he had taken a price drop ahead of the game against Burnley, however. 

It can be very easy at the start of the season to look at players like Adams and “rage-transfer” them out for others in the same price point that have performed well or indeed to take hits and redistribute money to upgrade these players.

This is when the Premium Members Area really comes into its own for me, as purely looking at points scored isn’t often reflective of the way the season has started for the player – so there is potential that you lose a player before they come good.

werner-replacements 2

The aforementioned Vardy is an example of this. On paper, he is a perfect FPL asset with five goals so far. However, those five goals have come from just six shots, and four of them were penalties. When you look at Vardy’s xG of 3.60 he looks like a fantastic option, which with the level of penalties awarded this season he is. However, his non-penalty XG is just 0.45 and that is far lower than we would expect for a player of his price tag.

Looking closely at the underlying stats alongside the eye test is essential for ensuring the right transfers. It does seem easier to stay loyal to players who sit in the value bracket, however the underlying stats for the early Gameweeks applies to the premium assets just as much.

Going into Gameweek 1, the lack of clarity around Manchester United in terms of transfers and player fitness meant that I made a last-minute decision not to start the season with Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) or Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) on the bench and instead bring in Son Heung-min (£9.0m) for Spurs’ opening game at home to Everton. At the end of that Gameweek, I decided to ignore the underlying stats for that Everton game and make my preplanned transfer, which was to swap Son for Fernandes. This was a big mistake. Son scored four goals in Gameweek 2 against Southampton, whereas Fernandes blanked versus Crystal Palace.

For me, this taught me a valuable lesson both in terms of flexibility and not being afraid of going against the original planning. 

The eye test and Premium Members Area comparisons have always been a vital part of the way that I manage my FPL team but I often use it more for the budget and mid-priced options. 

The Son fiasco has made me aware that underlying stats are just as important for the premium players as they are for the cheaper options. Overall, missing out on Son’s haul hurt but it proved to me that loyalty pays off – so long as the stats back up the decision to hold.

    Next season, Firmino surly must be valued at 8 max. He’s a number 9 and plays for the champions agreed. But he just offers very very little for FPL.
    Last season one goal at Anfield was crazy!
    If Firmino was 7.5 I would still not be interested at all!!

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think it was 2 seasons ago when he was in FPL team of the season, wasn't really highly owned back then, silently scoring points. I do agree tho needs to be a little cheaper

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

        Was that when he was a mid, I had him a lot in 16/17 as a mid.

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

      He basically plays as a #10 or #8. But yeah, he's super overpriced at 9.5m.

      He's surprisingly good in FanTeam though if you can spare a slot. He plays the full match often and if Liverpool win, he gets 4 points even though he does nothing.

      Last year in FanTeam he outscored Danny Ings because of this.

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should have been last season, don’t no why he’s still there this season

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

    Save the ft? Or Werner to Jimenez?

    McCarthy
    TAA Castagne Justin Saiss
    Salah KDB Havertz
    Werner Richarlison* Mitro

    4.0; Bissouma, Reed*, Ayling

    1. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well Richarlison is your major concern first!

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

        Depends if he is injured or not. Really doubt he will be out after the international break so might be just ok to keep him. If I were to sell him I'd propably get Maupay.

  3. Transferred Out
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling as a nice differential captain?

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

      yes

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

      I'm captaining Sterling in like 6 of my FanTeam drafts. He better deliver!

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

      could absolutley haul

    4. Hattrick Harry
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should get out of City men as captain, Leeds win 3-1 and Klich+Bamford essential. Good luck!

  4. klopp4kop
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of captaining JIMINEZ...Too risky and bold a move??

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

      Got to expect wolves to bounce back plus Fulham suck!

      I’m currently considering whether to get him in.

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i am on him.

  5. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gtg?

    Martínez
    TAA Saïss Castagne
    Salah KDB Foden Mahrez Podence
    DCL Jiménez

    Steer Lamptey Mitchell Brewster

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

      looks great

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate

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

      Lovely stuff, captain?

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        KDB atm

    3. Grimo2
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How are you feeling about that City triple up with tinker-Pep? Also, Podence a guaranteed starter now?

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hoping Mahrez starts and Podence is a doubt, yes.

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

    Thoughts on this WC Draft?

    Martinez
    Robbo TAA Lamptey
    Salah KDB Foden Podence
    Ings Jimi DCL

    4.0, Zambo, Mitchell, Fergusson.

    0.2 itb

    Pretty set on going with all the proven good fpl assets like robbo, taa, salah, kdb, ings, jimi, dcl. Rest i'm not certain of but not too much money to work with

    1. Grimo2
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I've taken Podence out, think he's a bench warmer now. Downgrade Robbo to upgrade Podence to a Barnes/ JRod etc?

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

        I'm pretty set on the TAA + robbo double up. I rather downgrade one of jim/ings to upgrade Podence, but not quite sure yet.

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

          Bad move imo, ings jim are proven as of last season

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

            Yeah as I said I'm pretty set on the core. Think it's fine having two of the cheaper mids to fit all of the good ones

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

      Looks great tbh!

    3. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      all ur defenders will concede.

  7. Grimo2
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC thoughts:

    McCarthy
    TAA - Lamptey - KWP
    Salah - KDB - Moura - Barnes - Periera
    Kane - DCL

    Bench: Nyland, Mitchell, Justin, Davis

    Seeing a few teams without Justin atm, any reason why?

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

    Rodriguez or Barnes ?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes

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

      Either w do fine.

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

    Captain:
    A) Salah
    B) KDB
    C) Jimi
    D) Ings

    I'm tempted by Jimi or Ings for this week tbh

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C or D is a coin toss

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

      All 4 is great options but jimenez rarely hauls and wolves struggling so wouldnt trust him with the armband

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

        True, very true

    3. Our Man Charlie
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A) Salah for me

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

    Do we think Son will drop again? I am not selling since i got James to come on.

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very likely

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

    Every gw the wc template changes, gosh i like this game lol

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gw1 everyone had near identical teams, now look

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

    Before the season started I made some notes of players I'd like for good fixture runs:
    Villa 6-15 - Grealish
    Leicester 4-13 - Barnes, Vardy
    Wolves 4-12 - Defence, Jiminez
    Fulham 3-9 - Mitrovic
    Palace 5-10 - Zaha

    Problem is now I can't go for any of these without losing at least one of:
    Mane
    Bruno
    Werner
    James (Chelsea)

    Would you drop any of them to get on the likes of Grealish, Barnes, Jimenez?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How is Mitrovic on there? Also think your missing Trossard, will have great fixtures in a few weeks

    2. Hattrick Harry
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I had Leeds gw 1-38 and so far so good and 215p.

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I've thought of going two of Barnes/Zaha/Grealish instead of Rodriguez & Foden, but who knows which will work out better in the long run.

      1. Hattrick Harry
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Klich will outscore any of those names.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Klich would replace Podence in my team, but I also like Harrison after the MCI match.

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

      Werner

  13. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What formation this Week? Bamford MCI(H) or (injured) Podence FUL(H)?
    (Saving the FT)

    3-4-3
    TAA Saiss Robertson
    Salah KDB Rodriguez Foden
    Bamford Jiminez Mitrovic
    (Podence, C Taylor, Mitchell)

    3-5-2
    TAA Saiss Robertson
    Salah KDB Rodriguez Foden Podence
    Jiminez Mitrovic
    (Bamford, C Taylor, Mitchell)

    I'll be out of reach of internet for a few days so will decide soon.

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

      Podence faces Denis Odoi

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Fixture over form it is then, thanks.

  14. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Choose:
    a) James + DCL
    b) Castagne + Bamford

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A without James

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

        Who would you advice?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Would go down to 4.5, Justin (short term), Lamptey, Ayling all better options imo. Just don’t think James is nailed and I feel azpi will come in as Chelsea are lacking a leader in the team

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

            KWP is also good option imo ?

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah under the radar now

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

                And what about Keane? Good sub for James?

                1. Pukki Blinders
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Guess he could be but prefer Coleman

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

    Who to captain this week?

    A....kdb

    B....salah

    Thanks

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah not an option this week against a tightened Villa side imo

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

        Salah is the stand out option

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

        not an option ? what you on about ? salah is always an option

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          For this week Against the likes of Jimi Ings and Sterling he’s not

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

            Ok bro

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

      A, just

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

        Salah is definitely an option....

        Hard to know exactly where kdb will play....

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

          Really confused by the Leeds game, how it will go and Man City without a proper CF

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

            This. And it makes me think of salah

            Lpool have been excellent so far - lots of uncertainty with city.

            I know villa look tight but they haven't played anyone like lpool

          2. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            City will go the same way as they did in the cup against Burnley, Sterling striker

    3. Our Man Charlie
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Im going B Flynny one plus for me is last game of the week , make or break 🙂

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

        that definitely works in his favour!

    4. Hattrick Harry
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C Bamford Leeds will destroy city

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

    DCL underpriced

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

    Aubameyang (c).
    A power b*mming is coming for Sheff United.

    I can see a brace (pen and open play) and an assist for the big man

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

      Auba (C) is the second best option this week for me, just that nobody has him

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

        28.8% ownership. So it’s more in these circles.

        I’m considering him in and (c) as Sheffield United look awful

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          dont trust arsenal too much

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

          I'd go for it

  18. Better Call Raul
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martial to DCL/Richarlison on a free transfer ?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      do it. DCL.

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

      DCL or Ings. Rich came off injured so wait for Friday presser for an update before moving on him if still keen.

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who’s ur other fwd? I’d be tempted by martial + dcl. Utd will come good

      1. Better Call Raul
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've got Ings and Mitro

  19. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    any news on ASM... really hope he can play agaist burnley.. if not awb will go in my team.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both need to go

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yeah but not for a hit. which is what i am facing now.

        the only choice is wildcard.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Would probably offload ASM regardless if fit or not if it’s for free... Soucek Trossard Podence the standouts

          1. Letsgo!
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yeah but i alr on -4

            1. Pukki Blinders

              Then ASM or AWB will have to do for this week, plan for next week

    Next week's (C) is very interesting. Kane the best option but few have him and Son's injury status is in doubt, though he should be back. West Ham are no pushovers though, especially in London derbies. KDB (C) is appealing, loves that #10 position against bigger teams.

    1. Hattrick Harry
      • 4 Years

      Bamford C , city leak like ever before and Leeds score for fun.

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah KDB got like 18 points in the Arsenal home game last year right? or was that away?

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

        Hauled both home and away against them, 19 pointer away and a 14 pointer at home.

    Keep moving the armband from Ings to Jimi, back to Ings. Which one to captain?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      if i have both i will go with ings

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

      I have both and haven't really considered Jim over Ings. West Brom way worse than Fulham defensively so far. Ings has a higher ceiling this GW.

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

        It's tough one, when I have watched both Fulham and West Brom, it's Fulham that look worse defensively. West Brom maybe have been unlucky, conceding 2 pens the first game, then down to 10 men against Everton and playing a Chelsea team 3 nil down at half time.

  22. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martial out for Calvert lewin?

    Good move or keep

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For free yes

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who’s ur other striker I would want both think Utd will come good and everyone will be looking to pick up their assets

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

        Not with their fixtures in the short term. Maybe like GW8 onwards.

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

      Do it. DCL's form is too good to resist imo.

  23. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey or Justin for this week? I had decided on Justin but not convinced West Ham won't score and Everton at full strength still conceded goals and look like they might be without Allan now. Heavily leaning towards Lamptey now.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin for me

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      both will concede

    3. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lamptey, far more attacking and fun to watch.

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

      On paper it has to be Justin imo.

  24. vandebeek
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one of this lot:
    Foden, Podence, Havertz, DCL, Adams

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

      Why do you do this to yourself haha. Awful bench headache. Downgrade one of Foden or Podence and save yourself the heartache.

      For this week... I guess Podence because his ceiling isn't as high and might come off the bench? Awful spot.

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

        Fair point ;D Wanted a more flexible squad because of the instability of Foden/Podence/Adams but yeah, this is painfuly. Surely next gw making a double move for Foden + Def to get Robbo but it's still a long time ahead

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not ideal but Podence

  25. thehodge

    Been considering a -4 to take Werner out for DCL/Ings/Vardy but have come to the thought that neither is worth it for a hit.

    Made a huge mistake the back end of last season taking out Kane to bring in Vardy for a hit v Bournemouth.

    Given the unpredictability so far this season and my current sh*tshow of a rank, hits are a no go in my opinion.

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

    Salah -> Sterling (C) sounds insane but I genuinely believe he can hattie against that Leeds defense. Hmm...

  27. Riders of Yohan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    £2.5m ITB & 0FT

    Son out for -4?

    A) Sterling
    B) Bruno
    C) Mahrez
    D) Barnes
    E) hold

    McCarthy
    TAA, KWP, Justin
    Son, Salah, KDB, Hamez, Soucek
    Adams, Jimi

    Nyland. Taylor, Mitchel, Brewster

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

      Sterling can be very rewarding imo!

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah would be tempting to Captain too

  28. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Already on a -4... Think the team is ok for this GW?

    Ramsdale
    Dier, KWP, TAA, Robertson
    Podence, Sterling, KDB, Salah
    Mitro, DCL

    Steer, Burke, Mitchell, Davis

    Cheers all!

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah all good

  29. Mr. Robotson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Good day everyone
    Best Burnley defender for 4.5 long term?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Taylor easily

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

        I thought so but he is desperate about the bonus point and attacking returns are not do good, think 2-3 asists in last 2 seasons.

  30. SOTHPAW
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Don't want to second guess Pep but Foden not playing last night is good sign he starts at the weekend?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep should start

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

      I assume that was Pep's plan when benching him. Only problem could be how well they played!

    3. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah probably, also that he’s started the last two prem games

    4. vandebeek
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What if he was just playing in his line-up, because Sterling, KDB, Rodri, Laporte Walker all played? And Foden was subbed after 60min against Lei. I don't know, just worried as an owner of him
