Football Index: The top players of the new Premier League season so far


Sponsored by Football Index


With international football taking centre stage over the next week, we thought it would be a suitable time to check on the stand-out Premier League performers in Football Index (FI) for In-Play and Match Day Dividends.

For those of you who are new to the concept, Football Index is a kind of stock market where people use real money to bet on football.

Those betting with Football Index buy shares in individual players whose value can rise or fall depending on their performance both on and off the field.

Read our introductory guide to betting with Football Index here

In-Play and Match Day Dividends also offer a possible way to make money and give Football Index more of a Fantasy Football feel because they are based on each players’ on-pitch performance.

In-Play Dividends

In-Play Dividends are nice and simple. If a footballer you have bet on scores or assists, or your goalkeeper keeps a clean sheet, you get paid (for the first 30 days you own a share).

Match Day Dividends

Match Day Dividends are slightly different in that they are based on the underlying data that drives a lot of Fantasy games these days, such as shots, chances created and interceptions – most of which can be found in our Premium Members Area.

For example, a goal will earn a player 45 points as part of their Match Day score, whilst a red card sees them deducted 30 points.

On each day that there is a football match in any of the eligible competitions, Football Index ranks all the participating footballers by their Match Day score – and the leading players win dividends for that day.

More details are available here.


Even though domestic football is on hiatus for a fortnight, there are still In-Play and Match Day Dividends dished out in the UEFA European Championship qualifiers, as seen in the above image.

It’s the Premier League that is the main focus of this article, however, as we look at how some of the star performers from the English top flight have been rewarded in Football Index in the opening month of 2020/21.

In-Play Dividends

Mateusz Klich£0.30
Reece James£0.30
Richarlison£0.30
Sadio Mane£0.30
Tyrone Mings£0.30
Wilfried Zaha£0.30

Football Index rolled out a special offer until the end of September in which In-Play Dividends were multiplied by a whopping five times for every eligible fixture.

As a result, the Premier League players who filled their boots with attacking returns in the first month of 2020/21 were amply rewarded in Football Index.

Harry Kane‘s six attacking returns in the opening three Gameweeks brought him 60p in In-Play Dividends, with his three at Old Trafford last Sunday earning him a further 6p.

With midfielders and forwards getting 2p for either a goal or orthodox assist, it doesn’t really matter whether they are finding the net themselves or setting up a teammate to score when it comes to In-Play Dividends.

The table below looks at how often Premier League players delivered a goal or assist in 2019/20 – although, as we’ve seen to a dramatic extent over the last four weeks, no two seasons are ever the same.

A player not only has to produce a stellar performance to be in with a chance of winning Match Day Dividends, they also have to beat the competition.

On match days where there are lots of fixtures across Europe, this can be a tall order – but far from impossible, as James Rodriguez proved when collecting both the Top Midfielder and Star Player accolades on Saturday.

A breakdown of his superb display against Brighton can be seen in the gallery below:

Betting on players who are in action on quieter match days, such as Monday evening, could be a good tactic with regards to Match Day Dividends: Jorginho and Kevin De Bruyne, for example, both claimed the Top Midfielder accolades on September 14th and 21st respectively, when fewer fixtures were happening elsewhere.

    A look at Joe's Goals Imminent table and how successful it has been. We all know it's been pretty fantastic in the past, but how has it coped during such an unpredictable start to the season?

      Great article!

  2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

    Can you RMWCT please? Thank you

    Mendy, Button
    Chilwell, Semedo, Justin, Mitchell, Branthwaite
    Salah, Sterling, Son, JRod, Zaha
    DCL, Jimenez, Brewster

    Mendy will stay if he is fit, if not I will go for Ryan and KWP in for Mendy and Branthwaite or Mitchell. Mitchell will go out for Ferguson if PVA is back. Zaha will go out for Grealish if he blaks vs Brighton.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      And what about Justin? Probably losing his place very soon.

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        KWP besides Mitchell or Ferguson should do with Chilwell and Semedo for long term, do you agree?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yes get KWP/Leeds defender imo

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yes.

          Why Zaha if you are only willing to give him one game if he blanks in it? Go with Grealish straight away instead?

          There might be a time where you want two Chelsea attackers. Go for someone else than Mendy in goal imo.

  3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    The way things are going, soon DCL and Richarlison might end up being the same price.. Might be very risky given ownership and DCL's insane form but atleast for those who WC later do you think it might be tempting to get Rich instead as a differential with him being on pens? Especially for someone like me who missed the DCL train, although didn't get hurt much in terms of points as I had Wilson instead..

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      I'll have both plus Hamez after liverpool match. Going all in on everton triple up.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bold! I’m happy with Rodríguez & DCL double up

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

          Nicenice. I'd get Grealish over him but I'd have to change formations and take hits for that so going for triple up for now

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Fair. I’ll be upgrading Podence to Grealish soon. Giving me

            Son KDB Salah Grealish Hamez. Power 5!

            1. Zimo
              • 5 Years

              Nice 🙂

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

      Richarlison has been insanely unlucky so far unless he just sucks which i don't think he does. I think he'll do really well so yes go for him if your gut tells u to.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Very true!

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

        It's karma for all the rolling around on the floor he does. I mean he never goes full Lamela . . .but then nobody should ever go full Lamela.

  4. abhirup780

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dallas or KWP? (assuming no other LEE or SOU player)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KWP is the less exciting but maybe also the better option to have. Still I would say Dallas.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dallas.

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dallas

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dallas short term
      KWP long term

  5. FPL-(VAR)dy
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish or Barkley?

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish, but if Barkley is on pens, and it's a big if, he'll offer real value.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Could Grealish be on pens?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It’s highly possible

        2. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe, but personally, I don't think it's that likely.

          He's never been our penalty taker. Stepped up last season after Wesley got injured and missed. Since then El Ghazi has scored, and Hourihane had the ball in his hand against Palace, before it was the decision was overturned.

          I think Barkley could take them on, but let's see.

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

            Sorry, that was meant to say 'before the decision was overturned'.

          2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

            Alright. Thank you!

            Gabby Agbonlahor was doing punditry on Astro Supersports for the Liverpool game and he said he was talking to Jack who said he's on pens this season. Take from that what you will.

            1. avfc82

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Jeez, that’s pretty big news if he’s right.

              1. avfc82

                3 years, 5 months ago

                Do you know roughly which part of the game he said it? Will try and dig it out.

                1. panda07

                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Think it was after the game in the post match analysis but not 100%

                  1. avfc82
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    Ahh nice one, will see if I can find it.

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

              I've had a listen to this section of Gabbys interview, lots of positive chat about Jack but I didn't catch any mention of pens. You don't have a link to the interview when he refers to this do you please ? Great piece of info.

              https://youtu.be/KP3UQmgygcA

                3 years, 5 months ago

                I had a look for it myself and couldn't find it. I'm sure he said it though, it must have been in a different part of the match analysis.

                1. TLF

                  • 7 Years

                  Ok no worries thanks for the response, I take your word for it. Will make Grealish even more appealing if he does end up taking the next pen for Villa.

                The analysis went on for a lot longer than the clips available on youtube.

    Are any of you playing Sky Sports Fantasy Football ? If so how's your unlimited transfers team looking ? I currently on

    Patricio
    TAA, Lamptey, Mitchell
    KDB, Rodriguez, Antonio, Grealish
    Kane, Salah, DCL

    1.5m ITB for a Chelsea mid (probably Pulisic for Antonio) or to upgrade Mitchell after the favourable run of fixtures or if he gets dropped.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Nice looking teams, fairly similar to mine. Not spent ages on it but two drafts at the moment, Will probably go A with Kane on pens and no mid bonuses for Son. Jimi is short term due to the fixtures for TV and him being a captain option a couple of times for them. Rodriguez or Grealish may go for Antonio in GW8 (or is it 9, numbers get messes up in Sky vs official FPL)

      A>

      Martinez
      Van Dijk / Lamptey / Dallas
      KDB / Rodriguez / Trossard / Grealish
      Kane / Salah / Jimi

    Here's a Hypothetical and very random question, if you had to choose between your club winning the league title or you coming #1 OR in FPL, which one would you choose and why?
    I think I already know what the popular answer will be but would be interested to see what you guys think..

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Numero uno.

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

      Number 1, after my best start ever and with usual rubbish ORs who knows, this could be the year of the KANE

      1. skodaole2
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This, if Spurs win the league I d be happy with OR 7mil

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      FPL OR1 but think this should be qualified with who people support (i.e. if you have seen your team win the PL)

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Excellent point, I'm a city fan so have been spoiled a bit in the last decade. My answer prior to that might differ from the one now 🙂

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Am a Chelsea fan... but if this question were would I rather win FPL or see England win the World Cup I would probably slide with the latter

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Very true..
        A Leeds fan for example would give up anything to see their team lift the title

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

      I'm a united fan so would like them to win the league more than fpl 😆

    5. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My club winning the league surely.

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

        Sadly, i agree.

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

          Geee
          I thought that was a prediction.

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

      United winning league !!

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

        Me winning FPL would only please a few.
        United winning it would please millions 🙂

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

          Yeah but it would also upset millions 😉 I'd rather see you get number 1 in FPL mate hahahah

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

            🙂

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

    A haul from the United boys like Bruno could really mix up the fpl squads!

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They'll also tighten up after that mauling could be future value in Def

  11. Sean
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is having soucek instead of bissouma as a 5th mid worth the 0.4m?

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

      For me yes 100%, the fact that West Ham have also looked is a bonus too

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

        *looked good

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For sure if you think he will be used atleast from time to time

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think so, especially with players likely to miss matches due to a positive Coronavirus test.

    4. Catastrophe

      Depends what you could do with that 0.4 elsewhere. Both Bissouma and Soucek are looking good value, Soucek looking good.

    5. Sean
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all, agree soucek looks the better option as can see no use for the .4m elsewhere

      1. Ginger Pele
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        You might not see a use for that 0.4 now, but in a couple of weeks you might be kicking yourself if you’re just short of a good transfer. I reckon Bissouma a good bench warmer.

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

    I've decided I don't want to do a massive move or lose Havertz. Which transfer is better?

    I have 1.0m ITB and 2 FTs. I think I want to just use one.

    A) Wilson > Maupay
    B) Soucek > Barkley

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

      B as it’s an upgrade I guess

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't want to lose Havertz this week either, would actually considered captaining him if I had him.

      Probably B of those two

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B probably, A seems a little sideways although haven't checked newcastle vs. Brighton's fixtures.

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

        Newcastle's are much worse.

        Newcastle have:
        MUN wol EVE sou CHE

        Brighton have:
        cry WBA tot BUR avl

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Hmm, good point. Although still decent chance of attacking returns against MUN, EVE, CHE, sou.

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

          Wilson has ASM!

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Maupay has lamptey, March Trossard actually he has a better team.

    4. Hueng-min Son of a
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A imo.

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is Soucek your 8th attacker?

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

        No. He's my 7th.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Then I would say B.
          And Wilson -> Antonio after that

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

      Why Maupay? Why not Watkins?

    7. Ginger Pele
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably A. Seems a little sideways, but not sure I’ve seen enough of Barkley at Villa yet to jump on that one. Watkins instead of Maupay possible? Think he’s good value, and leaves a little extra cash sloshing around for future transfers?

  13. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    i have not seen one posting anywhere where someone is prepared to pay £15 to watch a match ,someone has got this badly wrong...

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

      So what would we pay. 10?

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        honestly no more than £3 for me ,personally i will be glad to be able to watch soccer saturday again and watch the scores as it happens ,im not enjoying watching 10 games all weekend ,its too much ,#qualitynotquantity

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

          3 quid? Yeah that's not going to happen is it. I watch three or four games a weekend, but in the US we only have to cough up $5 a month for NBC's coverage.

    2. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      agreed, it's too much

  14. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anything worth a hit chaps? 0 4 ITB.

    Martinez
    Digne, Chilwell, Saiss, Justin
    KDB, Salah, Fernandes, Son
    DCL, Wilson

    Working towards Fernandes, Wilson & Digne -> Rodriguez, Kane & 4.9 DEF over next 2/3 weeks. Sound like a plan?

    (Steer, Brewster, Bissouma, Mitchell)

    Cheers

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not.
      I would play Brewster over Digne or Justin.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And yes, sounds like a plan.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. Yeah will probably bench Justin i think.

    2. Ginger Pele
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing for a hit. And get Brewster on the pitch for Fulham.

  15. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    On WC.

    Upto Xmas:

    Wilson, Maupay, Antonio?

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

      Wilson - pens

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

        I know Maupay is as well sorry, but prefer Wilson personally

        1. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Antonio got pens aswell, aslong as Noble stays on the bench

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

            Hmm didn’t consider that. Good point

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

        I think Maupay is clearly better than Wilson for the upcoming few games.

        Better fixtures, better stats, better team.

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No DCL is a bit risky..

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        NVM I thought you were going with that front 3 haha.

        If I had to pick 1 it would be Wilson although the best strategy might be Maupay for next 3 weeks and then switch to Antonio

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

      Yeah, have DCL and Kane as my other 2. One slot left.

      Very hard choice. I like Antonio most but fixtures are curbing my enthusiasm. On current form, he/WHU could still score though.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio won't be for that long, probably. Otherwise him.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Won't be fit*

    5. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t think you need to worry about Christmas you ll probably have changed that player a lot until then. I d go with Mitro for the next few fixtures but if you want one of the three I d go with Wilson

    6. The Hunt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson was rated a 8.0m player at the start of 19/20 and he's now 6.4m fwiw.

    7. Ginger Pele
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you’re thinking you’ll keep for a while, I’d go Antonio.

  16. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    pulisic or Jamez rodriquez (+0.5) on wc?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James - but think Pulisic could significantly outscore him this GW and be a very cheeky captaincy punt

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think lamps is going to start him..

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

      Both.

    3. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hamez for me

    4. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would wait before bringing Pul in my team. And Sou seem to have improved their defence after the Spurs game whereas Liv will have Adrian again

    5. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      cheers all

    6. Ginger Pele
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m on wild card and I think I’m going James, but keeping a little back in the bank to possibly shift to Pulisic if he hits his stride quickly in next couple of weeks.

  17. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Everyone's commenting on the late arrival of JRodri from Internacional duty and the potential implications vs Liverpool but just realised Richarlison plays half an hour earlier than JRodri vs Peru... so both players are gonna be late arrivals... don't know exactly what to make of it tbh....

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think Eve have the best chance after many years to have a great season so this motivation and the realistic target of beating Liv could beat some tiredness. And Liv may be very unstable in this game. Wouldn’t bring in an Eve or Liv asset this GW but won’t get rid of either James or Salah

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, just trying to figger out what possible implications can this bring to the table... if any...

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          My impression is that Klopp will try to tighten the defence and keep the full backs back, so wouldn’t be surprised by a low scoring game. If he lets TAA and Rob playing again high they could be destroyed. I expect a 1-1 that would leave both sides happy given the circumstances although I d love an Eve win

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah cap maybe? 🙂

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Advantage Liverpool I think (Mina also returning late with Rodriguez)

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, good point!

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Advantage? Firmino and fabinho are also coming late and also if they were not we have no advantage while adrian is our GK.

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

      Don't Brazil play same day . . .Firmino and Fabinho will be home late too.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not that big loss for pool compared to Everton

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

          Huge miss given the state of our defense . . and Firmino makes the front three work.

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Won't argue but still bigger loss for Everton

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

              Because of no richarlison? They still managed to score 4 goals each in 2 consecutive matches without him

  18. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Worth playing Bissouma over Klich?
    Otherwise GTG?

    McCarthy
    Saiss TAA VVD
    Salah(C) KDB(vc) Trossard Klich
    DCL Ings Jimenez

    Nyland Bissouma Mitchell Bedna

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How bad are Palace right now tho?

        1. Evasivo
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          And in form Brighton

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Leeds are pretty good tho. And Klich on pens.

            1. Evasivo
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Fair shout, 8ve already got Trossard in the pack but was tempted to double up given form.
              Tho last two for Bissouma were Red Card and then Goal!

    2. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No...Klich on penalties

  20. SADIO SANÉ

    Also, as I'm here - you lot still think Werner 'easily' scores 20 goals this season?

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Together with cup and European games I think he can

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He obviously meant in the league.

        And I think he will

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Hehe I know, just trying to keep it funny it’s boring during the IB and I know Werner owners have been really frustrated with his returns. For me I don’t expect 20 goals, sth like 10-12 goals 5-7 assists seems more realistic, can see him being benched before big European games since there are alternatives for Lampard

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

      Yes. There are a ton of games. He'll get a bunch in cup games along with at least 10-15 in the league imo.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        lol

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

          We will see who's laughing at the end of the season. Werner scored 34 goals in 45 games last season. Players of that quality don't just disappear.

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

      Yup. Once Chelsea have a fit team I think they'll be very good.

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

      Maybe 14-15

  21. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with this team? Mitrovic to Brewster and hope he will do crazy things in his debut for Sheffield Utd?

    Martínez
    TAA, Saïss, Lamptey
    Son, Salah, KDB, Pereira
    Ings, Mitrovic, Jimenez

    Button, Burke, Mitchell, Dunne
    2 free transfer, 0.4 million in the bank

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez + Ings -> Vardy/ Kane + Watkins/ Wilson if you can. Mitrovic our for Brewster I don’t know, are you confident SHU will beat FUL?

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I will keep Ings. But I could do Jimenez and Mitro to Vardy and Brewster. Not sure about SHU but I think Brewster will do his best...

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ings to Calvert Lewin

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Yes but I fear it is too late for me now...

  22. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any ideas? Best I can come up with is:

    A) Holding -> Saiss (save FT)
    B) KDB/Davis -> Trossard/Kane
    C) VVD/Davis -> Saiss/Maupay
    D) Foden/Davis -> Jorginho/Maupay

    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, KDB, Foden, Bissouma
    Jimenez, Antonio

    Steer, Bellerin, Holding, Davis
    Bank 0.9m, 2FT

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

      C looks good

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

      I'd go for C since VVD will not get as many attacking returns as trent or robbo and I don't have much faith in a kop clean sheet with Adrian in goal.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C

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

    Foden/Jimenez -> Havertz/Maupay?

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

      Definite no from me.

      1. Gunners in Haaland

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

          People forget why we bought Jimenez. We've seen this just last season... He dropped to 7.1m from 7.5m before Wolves' form turned and he started scoring. It's a pick based on two seasons of great history.

          I'm very happy to give him time, he's earned it and he has the fixtures to capitalize.

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

            Good point. Patience is the key

    After a stinker of a start to the season I am using my wc, what does everyone think of this?

    McCarthy
    Saiss, Castagne, Chilwell
    Son, Grealish, Rodriguez, Salah
    Maupay, DCL, Kane

    Nyland, Douglas, Stephens and 0.9m left

    Not sure about Rodriguez, dunno if Barnes or Zaha might be better to free up a little more funds incase Chelsea, City or United start putting in better performances.

    1. BigKeith
      • 3 Years

    @Camzy No plan for getting Son/Kane this week? Can you explain why! It's scary not owning them with their form and fixtures!

    Richarlison or Grealish?

    Wildcard team:

    MartineZ
    TAA-Chilwell-Dallas
    Salah-Son-Grealish-JRod
    Kane-DCL-Maupay

    4-Lamptey-4.5-4

    Still not sure on the Spurs double up, tempted to switch back to KDB and Brewster but think the above is probably more balanced.
