Son and Kane top the FPL points table as United’s defence crumbles again

Manchester United 1-6 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) | Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m), Son Heung-min (£9.0m) x2, Harry Kane (£10.5m) x2, Serge Aurier (£5.2m)
  • Assists: Anthony Martial (£8.9m) | Kane, Aurier, Son, Ben Davies (£4.9m), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m)
  • Bonus: Son x3, Kane x2, Aurier x1

A ruthless Spurs thrashed a Manchester United outfit that started fast, were then reduced to ten men and ended up a shambles.

Thirty seconds into the game and it looked like it might be the visitors who would be the whipping boys as Anthony Martial (£8.9m) burst into Tottenham’s area and Davinson Sanchez (£5.4m) gave away a penalty.

The spot-kick was, as usual, put away by United’s most popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) asset, the 20.7%-owned Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), and visiting coach Jose Mourinho could have been excused for preparing a scowl similar to the one he wore during much of his tenure at Manchester.

The fact he left the pitch at full-time with the sort of smugly magnanimous smile that only a massive victory can produce was down to his side’s excellence, a misguided moment from Martial and a complete capitulation from the rest of the United team.

But amidst all the sound and fury of a truly bewildering game, the key Fantasy takeaway was the surprise presence of, and a brilliant performance from, Son Heung-min (£9.0m).

While Mourinho had suggested the midfielder might be fit to play at Old Trafford, a hamstring issue had his official chances down as 25%. That prompted a massive FPL sale, with a net 1,308,054 managers – well over half his total ownership – getting rid of the South Korean.

He responded by starting, scoring twice, assisting once, earning maximum bonus and recording 18 points for his second double-digit haul (the other brought in 24) of a remarkable start to the season.

Twitter users were in meltdown at half-time, with the hashtag ‘Took Son’ – as in ‘I took Son out of my Fantasy team this week’ – trending worldwide.

By the final whistle, that had been replaced by #OleOut as Gunnar Solskjaer’s men fell apart.

The rot didn’t even start with Martial’s dismissal, after 28 minutes, for an irritable slap to Erik Lamela‘s (£5.9m) face sparked by the Argentine’s weasly attempt to elbow the United striker.

VAR upheld referee Anthony Taylor’s decision despite also showcasing Lamela’s embarrassing theatricality and his massive culpability in the whole event. But Martial walked, Lamela received only a booking and the match hurried away from the hosts. 

In truth, it was already heading in that direction.

United’s lead lasted all of two minutes, with the fragility of centre-back pairing Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Eric Bailly (£5.0m) – the latter preferred to Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) – exposed for the first of many times.

Maguire’s feeble attempt to head the ball clear created a panic in the area and the ball eventually fell for Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) to equalise.

Three minutes later, Son put Spurs ahead when the new-look assist machine Harry Kane (£10.6m) was fouled, picked himself up and played a quick ball through to the midfielder, who dinked the ball over the advancing David De Gea (£5.5m) and in.

United responded, the lively Mason Greenwood (£7.4m) chalking up three attempts by the 23rd minute, but Son had already blown a great chance to double his tally before the Martial dismissal and it was one-way traffic from then on.

A minute after Martial finally trudged off, Spurs made it 3-1 when Bailly made a mess of trying to play out from the back, Kane pounced and played the ball to Son, who weighed up his options before squaring back to the striker for a simple finish.

Losing a striker should have at least meant United retained some semblance of shape at the back, but instead, enormous pockets of space kept opening up on their right flank and when Serge Aurier (£5.2m) was given the freedom to exploit this, he responded by setting up Son’s second goal.

It could even have been five by half-time, Kane missing a good chance from a near-post header, and that scoreline would not have flattered the visitors.

Solskjaer made changes at the break, shoring up his midfield by swapping out the blameless Fernandes and the pedestrian Nemanja Matic (£5.0m) for Fred (£5.4m) and Scott McTominay (£4.9m), but the fact Spurs only scored twice in the second half was as much to do with their own more relaxed approach than anything the United coach, or his players, did.

It was 5-1 on 51 when the rampaging Aurier smashed home from a brilliant Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m) first-time pass and Kane finished the scoring with an unstoppable penalty after substitute Ben Davies (£4.9m) was taken down by a sliding Paul Pogba (£7.9m).

Solskjaer was suitably crestfallen at the end of the match, saying:

Today, it was almost like Christmas, too many mistakes all came at once. Too many mistakes against a good team and you’ll be punished. It’s very embarrassing.

What might make things worse for him is the crash in confidence of Maguire, the unreliability of Lindelof and the rustiness of Bailly. United seem close to bringing in a new striker (Edinson Cavani) and a left-back (Alex Telles), but the unaddressed weaknesses in the centre of their defence do not bode well at all, as 11 goals conceded in three matches makes abundantly clear.

In Fantasy terms, however, the plentiful owners of Fernandes can still look forward to a good schedule through to mid-December, while Martial’s three-match ban could mean out-of-position opportunities up front for midfielders Greenwood or, more likely, Marcus Rashford (£9.5m).

As for Spurs, Son is currently the most-bought Gameweek 5 player – it would be interesting to know how many of those purchasers sold him ahead of the United match – and Kane is also in the top five.

The pair have 89 points between them this season. United’s entire squad has 72, albeit from one game less, and owning Son and/or Kane looks highly advisable when their next four opponents are West Ham and Brighton at home and Burnley and West Brom away.

So reasons to be cheerful are many for Spurs fans and Fantasy owners alike, while Mourinho was similarly upbeat:

The squad is very good, that’s why we won these matches, rotating players, bringing in fresh legs… and then Lo Celso injured, Bergwijn injured, Bale working… look at the squad we have, look at the attacking players we have, plus Vinicius in the stand. It was an amazing performance. I’m very proud of everyone at the club.

That could all be construed as a bit of a dig at a United board he believed failed to back him in the transfer market.

One thing’s for sure – Mourinho’s successor at Old Trafford is the manager with all the worries at present.


Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; Matic (McTominay 45), Pogba; Fernandes (Fred 45), Rashford, Greenwood (van de Beek 67); Martial.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-2-1): Lloris; Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele (Alli 69); Lamela (Moura 45), Son (Davies 73); Kane.

    Transfer Deadline day ticks on . . . not a whisper of a backup goalkeeper being signed by Liverpool. Quite astonishing.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They just need someone who's been playing consistently and can bring some confidence in. Adrian's is totally shot on top of not being good to begin with. They have that youngster people have mentioned, but not sure you stick him in.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Kelleher isn't good enough. Heaton you would think if he was fit would be a good pinch hitter but he's getting on. Everton bring one in and Liverpool don't would be . . .

    2. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Jeez, such a stupid comment.

      Adrian is a perfectly reasonable backup. He played 10+ games last season and we won the league.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Everton fan? 😉

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Adrian has literally won it all. What more can you ask for from a back up goalie!!!

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        One with any ability to play within Liverpool's system. I'm not sure how anyone can watch Adrian play and say he's a reliable back up ; part of the reason we played a high line at half way yesterday is nobody trusts him.

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      NYLAND ON A FREE!!!

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

    Grealish is going to be a trap isn't he. Why am i so nervous getting him

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If we knew he was on pens I'd feel more secure.. Currently on Watkins +1.1M instead

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He will not be. He scored great last season in a team without a goal scorer. This year he has Watkins.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would u rather Grealish in a 352 or Dcl in a 343 that's my question on WC?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          DCL not optional.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            in my opinion for the value he offers.

        2. diabydoesgallas
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          DCL all day

      2. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And Barkley seems like he'll have a decent threat this year with some bursts into the box. Great target for Grealish.

        1. Leonard hatred
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Barkley was born a trap

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

        I think i still won't get him. He trolled me last year. Going to go for richarlison in a 3-4-3 to get triple everton attack.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't worry he's on pens

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have a choice of Grealish, Pulisic or Hamez for my fourth midfield slot . . . it's not going Grealish at the mo.

  3. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this 3-5-2 WC draft?

    Ryan
    Chilwell - Coady - Ayling
    Salah - KDB - Pulisic - Rodriguez - Zaha
    Kane - Wilson

    BENCH: Gibbs - Brewster - Ferguson- Walton

    1. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dcl? Target man for attacking team

      1. Ci Siamo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I prefer Rodriguez

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'm considering bringing in Richarlison for GW6. I fancy him as a nice differential and the pen's surely are worth the .4 (probably .3 over DCL).

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'm considering all 3 🙂 all in on everton attacK

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

      Please no Zaha. He'll get u nothing

  4. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Those with double Pool defense, are you going to stick for the next 3? Personally, I will give them those 3 games and go from there. Robbo surely seems the one to have.

    What fire do you think I need to fight next? Most likely bringing in an Everton forward for Jimmy.

    Ryan
    TAA Robbo Saiss James
    Salah KDB Son Podence
    Maupay Jimmy

    Forster; Mitchell, Alzate, Davis

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes I'm keeping double pool too. Everton fwd is the right move

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think I will keep for the time being, although Adrian in is v frustrating from a CS perspective.

      Literally one GW ago people were talking about double
      Liverpool def as a must have. Still think they’re good picks. 1 freak result doesn’t change that.

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’d probably wait a week to swap out Jimmy though

  5. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Partey 260k a week

    Thoughts?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ozil 2.0

    2. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      for real? as if he was a free transfer. desperate move really

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        50m release clause apparently

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Why so low? Why is no one else using Barcelona's $505m release clause feature??

    3. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Right after laying off 55 people. Scummy.

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can party on that.

    5. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Disaster. Don’t know what transfer more bad, this or the Pepe one

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

    Thoughts on WC?
    Meslier (Nyland)
    Chilwell - Mings - Justin (Kilman, Mitchell)
    Salah - KDB - Son - Grealish - (Podence)
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    1. AlternativeB
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      possbile Mings - Podence - Bamford --> Robertson Bissouma Brewster?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nyland left Villa by mutual agreement tonight

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

    We are all over thinking this game

    World number 3 : No changes to his first 11 since week 1
    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1065298/event/4

    Only changed his bench fodder. No hits.

    No city , no liverpool defence, no DCL,

    I recall this time last year watching teams with Mane / KDB / Lundstram / Abraham/ Vardy and people thinking it would all go wrong eventually as they waited for Salah, Sterling, Kane, Aguero to fire

    Always lessons to be learned from looking at the new trends.

    Maybe time to go against the naturally thinking that i need to hold Sterling and back Double spurs.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My lord, I am 177 points behind him.

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

        110 for me. Albeit ive made as many errors as good picks ( Selling Son after week 1, but getting Hamez and DCL early)

        But yet, maybe need to adapt quicker to this year

        One weird thing could be maybe not going with city premiums.

      2. 272MK
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Similar here. Oh god they can do that in 4 Gws?

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Look at his history though. He is just a Spurs fan.

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

        Yep but if this years trend is that spurs attackers do well its somthing to note

        Last year Mane was out doing Salah for 6 months, Abraham and Vardy were outdoing Kane and Aguero

        KDB was outdoing Sterling

        Whatever the luck of him hitting the right template its more about us recognising it , i may just hedge my bets in 2 weeks and go against my thinking but towards what this year is currently showing.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          We are 4 gameweeks in.. hardly enough data... that being said I also doubled up on spurs.. but I for a fact know it will only be temporary

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

            Yes im still being cautious and dont have the spurs duo

            We simple dont know yet if it will be temporary or longterm

            See last year with Vardy and people saying the same

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

      lolz

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Got the right captain 3/4 weeks . . .very lucky.

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

        I have also had 3/4 captain hits but am 100 points behind him 🙂

  8. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Soucek going down in price?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably sometimes before deadline yes. -81 atm on fplstats

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Need Rodriguez and Soucek prices to work together before Son goes up twice

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bizarre, everyone must be doing Soucek to Son with their 4m ITB

  9. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you rather Son or Kane?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son and (c) him

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        In that case worth doing Werner + Bissouma > Son + Brewster?

        1. JollyGoodYellows
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          For a -4?

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Other forwards?

            1. JollyGoodYellows
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              DCL and Ings. Thanks for the help

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah sounds good to me

    3. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have them both, but Kane. Feel more comfortable captaining him.

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If you've had them for a few weeks you must be flying!

        1. diabydoesgallas
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Top 4K! More luck than judgment but I do like Kane as a player.

  10. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Alex Telles predicted price guys? 5,5?

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

      unless united get a cb in the next 2 hours I won't be going near unfortunately

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is he any good?

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Loves a good cross like trent and digne. Has a mean shot as well. But still united have maguire in defence so not worth getting

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

        very attacking, has a great cross but not great at defending

  11. Rash
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Regulion or Digne on wildcard?

    Both have attacking threat but pickford spoiling any potential cleanies

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Digne, more nailed

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reguilon

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Regulion

    4. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pickford always looks a liability in that Everton defense

  12. soup natsi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can't get Kane without a hit. Can get Son for Sterling though. Obvious move with Sterling injured, just worried that it's a little too obvious. No idea how to use the 2.5m either.

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You really think Sterling is injured?

      1. soup natsi
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm a trusting person

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      International break injury bro

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling is just having a rest.

  13. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which trio would you go for?

    A) TAA | Lamptey | Bruno
    B) Robbo | Saiss | Bruno
    C) Robbo | 4.5 def* | Sterling
    D) Robbo | 4.4 def | KdB

    *Already own Dallas

    Thanks

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years

      No need at all for Bruno

      He is 2mil over priced

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Highest PPG post lockdown though

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Which if anything suggests he is underpriced

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

            Have a look at this underlying stats on understat.com

            Everyone who has access to that data has been predicting this poor start this year

            TLDR: his stats from lockdown were not suistainable , lots of very low xG shots and very very low xA (assists where he makes a sideways pass and someone hits top corner from 40 yards)

            Previous fpl points are not a good baraometer of future points

            Underlying xg and xa and xgc are : its the reason i was able to get in Hamez, DCL, double Leeds defence, Justin and Saiss very early before they did anything in FPL

              I was saying this all through pre-season and I'm a United fan.

              Couldn't believe the hype United were getting. Still haven't owned a United player this season, but I hope that changes at some point.

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Having said all this, the volume of penalties United get must still make him very credible at that price?

            2. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Appreciate this, thank you

    I'm being a bit dopey tonight... Got KDB for 12.5, current sale price is 12.6. If he goes down tonight do I lose value?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Blimey didn’t realise he’d gone up by a whole million already!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And yes you will, as your selling price will be back down to 11.5 (you only get 50% of the profit)

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Rough. Time to remove him OK my WC then

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          On my*

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Beware if he doesn’t drop any further and you want him back you’ll be paying 11.6 this time

  15. Albert_Luque

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard team - please tear it apart. Had an awful start so looking to use this team to kick on now

    Martinez-Steer
    TAA-Lamptey-KWP-Dallas-Mitchell
    Salah-KDB-Son-Rodríguez-Grealish
    DCL-Maupay-Brewster

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks very template so fine!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Literally everybody's wildcard team looks exactly like this with some variations in defense.

      1. Albert_Luque
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        What are your thoughts on wildcarding this season? When are you planning on using it?

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

          If you are WC this break, i dont see any reason why you wouldnt go with Son and Kane together, its a very low risk high ceiling move - albeit you may not get much returns week 5.

          Wouldnt be high on Grealish yet.

          Villa did score 7 goals but
          A) wont play a high line with no midfield press again this year
          B) Wont get 3 goals by deflection, 1 cos of keeper error and 3 cos of terrible high line

          Id get DCL Kane and Antonio as your forwards on WC

          1. Albert_Luque
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Interesting suggestions - agreed that the Liverpool result was freakish but what I liked was the freeing up of Grealish - he is not the only man doing everything now. But I think you’re right on Kane - may mean I have to shift even more out of defence because I don’t think going to a 4.5m mid will generate enough funds

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

              If i were on WC now is take Kane over KDB and get someone like Pulisic instead of Grealish

              Your wildcard gives you a step to take ahead of the masses

              With city form and fixtures, theres an argument to say you could not need them or captain them until week 10.

              A risk but everyone who has done this so far is doing really well

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not a fan of the defence tbh

      1. Albert_Luque
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ahh okay! Suggestions? Is it the players or do you think more value needs shifting up?

    4. Amey

      Sexy team

      Will crumble under expectation pressure.

      1. Albert_Luque
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cryptic. I mean I have minimal expectations for my teams success so I doubt this will be an issue haha

        1. OverTinker

    D) Trossard

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson -> Maupay
      Barnes -> Zaha
      Lamptey -> Regullion
      Brewster -> Kane
      KDB -> Fodder
      Justin -> Ferguson

      Have enough money itb to upgrade Grealish / Zaha to Rodriguez later on

  19. Pia06rc
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Werner and Martial to Maupay and Brewster for - 4

    To fund Barnes and Zaha to Salah and Son next week for - 4

    Brewster can start or rotate with one of my 4.5 defs.

    Yes or No?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just do Martial to Maupay and do the rest after this gameweek

  20. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are Justin & Mitchel still nailed after the international break?

    1. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      maybe & unlikely

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dont think so, players coming back

    3. The_FF_King
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m on wildcard and tempted to ditch both

  21. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bring in Pulisic for free or Son for a -4 hit?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I like both long term but Son is priority.

  22. RohanVaswani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Chilwell Klitch

    B) Trossard Zouma?

  23. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    any suggestions to this WC Draft? 🙂

    Martinez - 4.0
    TAA - Chilwell - Saiss - KWP - Mitchell
    Salah - Son - J.Rodriguez - Grealish / Zaha - Bissouma
    Kane - DCL - Maupay

    1. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not wanting any ManCity attack in there?

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I do, but I just really really want both Son & Kane at this stage

        1. PastaFasul
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe worth the risk...or not. Like this rollercoaster season.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Very sexy.. go with Zaha + Greallish.. Have enough itb to switch either one to Rodriguez when fixtures turn

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Go with Ferguson over Mitchell.. save your self some cash

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on Pulisic? Time to get him in?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years

      Not yet

    3. DRIZ ✅

    4. Bushwhacker

      He's on my wildcard. . .

  25. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) WC
    B) Martial + Adams -> Kane + DCL
    C) Other?

    McCarthy, fodder
    Taa, lascelles, saiss, Taylor, Mitchell
    KDB, Sterling, havertz, Podence, bissouma
    Werner, martial, Adams

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      WC imo

  26. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Chillwell on corners for Chelsea? Considering him on WC

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yes, and doing it really well. However, once Ziyech is back we’ll see, whether he takes some from Chilwell.

    3. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ziyech lurking

  27. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Early thoughts on that WC team?

    Martinez/Martin
    Robo/Chilwell/Reguilon/Lampety/4.0
    Salah/Son/Hamez/Grealish/4.4
    Kane/DCL/Maupay

    Not 100% decided whether to go City mid or Kane.
    Also have 0.5ITB now.

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      May as well go Semedo or Castagne over Reguilon

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That team would have got 100 pts this gameweek gone. Gtg onwards

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hope it will be good going forward, not only kneejerky

  28. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Looking at the various players and their prices and scores so far, theres absolutely no reason to claim that DCL is essential

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is anyone essential? Nearly 40% of the top 10K don't own him.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I dont think anyone is except Salah but from reading on here one would be lead to believe DCL is essential. Im in no hurry to bring him in.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Good. One less competitor.

  29. cjk17
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I have 7.0 to spend on final striker spot. Any advice?

    It's between Maupay, Antonio and Watkins...

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Watkins

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay

  30. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish or Harvey Barnes on wildcard?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The one with the points.
