Scout Notes

Why Wilder didn’t start Brewster as Mitrovic suffers nightmare outing

SHEFFIELD UNITED 1-1 FULHAM

  • Goals: Billy Sharp (£5.8m) | Ademola Lookman (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Jack Robinson (£4.4m)
  • Bonus: Lookman x3, Sharp x2, Chris Basham (£4.9m) x2

Sunday afternoon was one to forget for Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.9m) and his FPL owners.

The Serbia striker missed a penalty after 57 minutes, skimming the crossbar with Aaron Ramsdale (£4.9m) well beaten.

The forward then managed to foul Jack Robinson (£4.4m) – who had earlier conceded a penalty – during a melee in the Fulham area.

That passage of play led to a Tom Cairney (£4.9m) chance on goal but after the VAR reviewed Mitrovic’s challenge on the Blades substitute, a spot-kick was awarded.

Billy Sharp (£5.8m) made no mistake with his penalty, firing home to earn the home side a point.

It went from bad to worse for Mitrovic in added time as the Fulham hitman headed wide twice from close range following deliveries by the impressive Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) and Cairney.

On the striker, Fulham boss Scott Parker commented:

It was painful for him but he has earned the right [to take the penalty]. Today wasn’t his day but he has scored and assisted a lot of goals. This is someone we owe a lot to. He will dust himself down and go again.

LOOKMAN PASSES EYE TEST

Having impressed from the bench in Gameweek 4, Lookman put in another eye-catching performance against Sheffield United.

It was his goal after 77 minutes that gave Fulham the lead. The winger, having received the ball from Cairney, lost it again but persevered to beat a couple of Sheffield United defenders before hammering an effort past Ramsdale from inside the box.

At just £5.0m, Lookman might be a player worthy of addition to FPL watchlists with Fulham’s fixture list looking decent until Gameweek 11.

BREWSTER LEFT TO SIMMER

Chris Wilder decided not to make immediate use of Rhian Brewster (£4.5m), with the former Liverpool striker named on the bench for Sunday’s bottom-of-the-table clash.

The budget forward entered the fray after 63 minutes and immediately made an impact by setting up a shooting opportunity for Enda Stevens (£5.4m).

The Irishman, who moved back to his regular wing-back berth after Robinson replaced the injured Max Lowe (£4.4m), attempted to return the ball to Brewster when he might have been better off having an effort on goal.

Apart from that moment, Brewster was unable to impact on proceedings from a Fantasy perspective but the profligacy of Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) could mean that the budget FPL option will make Chris Wilder’s XI in Gameweek 6.

On the new signing, the Blades boss said:

It was a big decision before whether to start him. I believed he only had 50 minutes in him so I thought the best way to introduce him would be off the bench, as we did, and get his first minutes as a Sheffield United player.

It’s difficult because younger players get caught up in between the under 23s and the first team and sometimes maybe don’t get up to speed as quickly as they would if they were part of the first team.

John Fleck (£5.8m) was due to be part of the starting team against Fulham but a back injury picked up on Scotland duty will sideline the midfielder for a period.

Wilder explained:

John was due to start today but unfortunately he has picked up an injury and is out for four to six weeks.

SPURNING CHANCES

McBurnie was the chief protagonist in a dominant first-half display from Sheffield United but not in the manner the Scotland international might have hoped.

Having already headed wide from a Chris Basham (£4.9m) cross after 10 minutes, the forward spurned a glorious opportunity as he nodded a Basham delivery at Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) from six yards out.

McBurnie then failed to get a decisive touch on a low Stevens cross, putting it across the Fulham goalkeeper rather than towards the net.

On his team’s display, Wilder commented:

Delighted to get a result, disappointed we didn’t come in at half time upping the game. We were a little bit more like our old selves in the first half and had control of the game.

But we were not like our old selves in the second half. First half us, they dominated the second half.

It is a bit of a battle at the moment, a bit of a grind but delighted to get something out of the game.

Along with McBurnie’s missed chances, the Blades also had a goal ruled out in the first half for offside after Fulham debutant Tosin Adarabioyo (£4.5m) turned a Sander Berge (£5.0m) cross into his own net.

Wilder’s opposite number Parker also recognised that it was the cliched ‘game of two halves’ at Bramall Lane and believes that Fulham are turning a corner in terms of performance, saying:

I thought in the second-half performance we were exceptional. In the first half, we came with a bit of plan, we needed to tinker things at half time and the players responded very well.

Second half I saw a dynamic team, a team that could create chances and I was pleased overall in that sense. Still plenty of learning and plenty of improvement to do. A young team with young players coming in and making their debuts. Overall pleased.

Playing against a very well-drilled side here and their formation can cause you problems. We tried to nullify their threat. On the counter-attacking side, I thought we looked deadly. Pleased with that but probably need to be a bit more clinical in these moments.

The team is going in the right direction, not just today. The last performance as well was very pleasing. From where we were in the first three games where we had our struggles we appear to be coming out of that and pushing in the right direction.


Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Stevens, Egan, Basham (Sharp 81′); Lowe (J Robinson 19′), Lundstram, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McGoldrick (Brewster 63′), McBurnie.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Robinson, Ream, Adarabioyo, Aina; Cairney, Anguissa; Lookman, Loftus-Cheek (Lemina 81′), Cavaleiro; Mitrovic.

    This seem a good option?

    TAA, Pondence + Jiminez to Konsa, Zaha and Kane for -4pts

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Im still not sure about Zaha as an FPL prospect over Grealish. Just do TAA/Jiminez to Konsa/Kane. Do the other transfer next week

  2. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts about Adams and TAA to Targett and Kane for a hit?

    1. Taff1952
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why are you hesitating ?

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No for me

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA out for a hit spells disaster with their upcoming fixtures

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Attacking returns could well be on the cards..Allison and VvD out could be troublesome for CS potential nevertheless

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA is sacred in this forum, so many will be against this. But I'd do it. Kane is in incredible form right now and is much more important to own than TAA.

    5. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Majority won't say yes, coz TAA is held as high as Messi Ronaldo here
      But pool defence without alisson & VVD is shite, so dependant on TAA attacking returns only

    6. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      People holding on waiting for a Trent explosion when so many other attacking players are exploding every week...

      No question our defence is more shaky now.

  3. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Played Brewster knowing the risk, but it’s nice to have him there as a half decent backup whenever required.

    Wouldn’t put it past him to score against his old club next weekend!

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s an unproven premier league striker in a team that doesn’t score a lot of goals. He’s glamorous fodder for now.

  4. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My actual FPL team:

    Martinez - Ryan
    mitchell - chilwell - taa - saiss - castagne
    zaha - alzate - son - kdb - jrod
    DCL - jimmy - wilson

    ItB: 1.8
    FT:1

    1) TAA.Jimmy --> keane or mings , kane (-4)?
    2) kdb, jimmy --> bruno, kane (-4)

    suggestion?

  5. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years

    What would you do here guys? 1FT and 2.5itb

    Mccarthy (Button)
    TAA Justin Mitchell (Holding Davies)
    Salah JRod Son Soucek (Bissouma)
    DCL Werner Ings

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save and play Bissouma over Soucek

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

        Surely I need to sort out my defence?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          TAA and Mitchell are fine, Justin I’m never keen on but some people like him.
          TAA could get a mega haul in the next two, I would be keeping

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

            Cheers. Aren't Mitchell's days numbered with PVA back soon? Was thinking of doing Davies + Soucek > Konsa + Grealish (-4)?

          2. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Not so sure about Mitchell. PVA will claim his place back at some point.

    2. OleGGMU

      Holding to digne

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

      Had more or less the same team and decided to wc because of horrible defence, no Villa and no Kane.

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

        I got away with getting Son in, now thinking of Davies + Soucek > Konsa + Grealish (-4)?

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

          Have Son too. But yeah, thought about exact the same moves before I pressed the button. If you don’t really feel the urgency to bring Kane in these moves should work imo. I think Kane’s form is too good to ignore though, he’s on fire and not owning him over the next 3 could hurt you.

  6. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone here planning on playing Fantasy Champions League?

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

      Playing for the first time

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

    Who is the best replacement for James?
    Current def line is: Robbo, Saiss, Justin, Mitchell, James

    1) Lamptey
    2) Dallas/Ayling
    3) Bellerin

    1. zorro121
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      3 .. He's on my Watchlist with Digne & Chilwell. Saiss Semedo Lamptey is my def this GW so will do it the week after for free

  8. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best move?

    A) Podence >> Barkley
    B) Werner >> Kun
    C) Save FT

    Martinez
    Lamptey • Saiss • Robertson
    Salah • Foden • Son • Podence
    Kane • DCL • Werner

    Steer / Bissouma / Mitchel / James

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

      A or C

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C

  9. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish or Zaha?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish, owning Zaha isn’t very fun. Besides the pen what did he even do, he will probably get some points in the coming weeks but Grealish is so much better.

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

        This

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish. Villa is going to score a lot more goals than Palace.

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

      Grealish, or even Barkley

    4. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      G-Wagon

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

      Own Zaha but would prefer Grealish

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Grealish, also Zaha owner, he was useless but scored a pen, owners are lumbered with him I suppose I can’t ship before Fulham with other problems in the side

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

    Current XI
    Ryan
    Taa, Chill, Dallas
    Salah, Son, JRod, Barnes, KDB*
    DCL, Bamford
    Bench : Butts, Watkins*, Justin, Fergie
    0.1 itb

    Looking to ship KDB and maybe Watkins
    Pick a replacement for KDB
    A)Sterling
    B) Grealish (enables watkins to ings/Vardy)
    C) Havertz (enables watkins to Ings)
    D)6.8 mid (enables watkins to Kane)

    Highly tempted to -8 and ship TAA aswell
    which enables 5m def+sterl +ings/5.9def +havertz+Kane

    Advice much appreciated lads

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

    Feels like Sterling could be due a massive haul, Lateriser probably going to captain him, should we do the same?

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

      Should we?

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

        Just saw the 48 hour turnaround after midweek CL match, maybe not

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’ll be switching between salah and Kane for the next few

  12. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need some help here please...

    I have 2.4 Itb and 1 ft and the plan is to bring Kane instead of Jiménez.
    but I really want to offload Barnes who was a terrible pick, is it worth bringing Grealish instead of Barnes for a hit?

    Martinez
    TAA Robo KWP Justin (Mitchel)
    Salah Son Barnes (poveda stephens)
    Jiménez Ings DCL

    cheers!

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

      Very similar set up and think Kane in is more important than Barnes out.

      Just about weighing up the hit. Villa 3 homes in next 4

      1. Erez Avni
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The plan was to upgrade one of my 4.4 mids to Trosaard and move to a 343 formation. But you know... Kane...

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would take the hit

  13. Frucke
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bamford scores tonight?

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brutal gameweek so far for the casuals, but Bamford will probably save them tonight

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My rival has Bamford captain 😮
      I use the term rival loosely here

    3. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Phat trick Bamford

    4. StevenW

      What is everyone’s Team Value + ITB total? (Interested!)

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        102.3m

      2. The Rock
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        £100.5.

        But I don't pay attention to it really. I may make an early transfer if I know someone is about to rise/drop but only if there are no more fixtures to be played for the players I'm bringing in.

        Not as important as some people think. Currently I have £5.2m in the bank!

      3. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        101.7

        4. Garlana
          • 9 Years

          102.5m which seems decent considering im not focusing on it. Most stored in DCL i guess 😀

            Cheers for all the replies! I find Team Value interesting early in the season as I think it enables potentially a better second half of the season.
            I seem to be about average vs most who have commented with a total of £102.1m

        12. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          How does this WC look? Players* are undecided and not sure about.

          Foden could be downgraded to Bissouma and Brewster to Wilson as a placeholder for Antonio when the WHU fixtures turn.

          0itb
          Martinez Forster
          Robbo Chilwell Dallas Targett Justin*
          Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez Foden*
          DCL Kane Brewster*

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

            Wouldn’t have Justin on a WC

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking a WHU defender either Masuaka or Balbuena. Another option is Ayling and rotate with Dallas when he plays in Midfield. I think Ayling is the better option when both play full back

              1. Boly Would
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Dallas will play full back. I prefer Ayling if getting one.

          2. Arfaish
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I like the Foden shout and a (potentially) playing £4.5m forward is real nice back up to have.

            However its a real tight shout between that and Wilson or Maupay instead so I think you need to go with your gut.

            I wc'ed last week and went Pulisic over Foden with Brewster and Regulion over Robbo as another option. Pretty happy despite Pulisic blank.

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think Foden playing in the front 3 is a way better option than Wilson and Maupay.

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

                Well it sounds like you have made up your mind on the question then anyway! Go with it.

                1. Tonyawesome69
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  How often will he play in the front 3 though?

        13. Arfaish
          • 11 Years

          Post (successful) wildcard week so no burning transfers.

          Is Guaita > Martinez and save 0.3m before the price rise worth it?

            In the long run, Martinez should outscore Guita

          How did Aguero look at the weekend?

            Probably a bit of the pace being honest. Only played 64 mins. But he could easily have a big haul in either of the next 2 games is my thinking.....

          As a Salah non owner, i got away with it this week as my alternative was Raheem but i need Salah over the next two for captaincy.
          Would have to do Sterling -> Salah this week which could potentially going wrong but seems like a sound move as you cant have them all i guess, thoughts?

          Martinez,
          Lamptey, Saiss, Robbo
          Sterling*, Son, Jrod, Foden
          Kane, DCL, Jimi

          Mitchell, bissouma, James*

          0.9 itb

            Reluctantly yes

            You should consider keeping Sterling and captain Kane/Son

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

              i have, but Salah at home is too difficult to ignore

          3. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            You could go aggressive and differential by keeping Sterling and captain Spurs. Obviously that is risky when majority will captain Salah

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

            I think Sterling matches Salah this week, id prefer to move James before a price drop

          3 years, 5 months ago

          Would you downgrade TAA to Chilwell (or someone at a similar price) in order to fund Mitrovic to Kane?

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

            I think so. The upside of having Kane is way higher than owning TAA. Especially when you consider than he will be captain for some weeks.

            Chilwell looks like he will get plenty attacking points as well.

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah that’s pretty much my thinking. Easy to jump off Kane to Aguero after these next three good fixtures too.

          James + Rich --> Digne & DCL a good move for a -4?

          Considering Walker in DEF too... Can't tell who out of SOU or WHU are more likely of not scoring!

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

            Just Rich to DCL. James could play.

        18. The Rock
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Those who have double Liverpool defense must surely be thinking of ditching that idea now that VVD is out long term?

          There still will be plenty attacking points for TAA/Robbo but I would imagine there won't be nowhere near as many clean sheets.

          1. Dexters Laboratory
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Sold TAA on WC and had planned on bringing Robbo back in for GW6 but think that plan is gone out the window

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

          Martinez
          Robbo, Semedo, Lamptey
          Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish
          Kane, DCL, Maupay
          4.0 | Mitchell, Bissouma, KWP

          Easy save FT right? It looks so good on paper but that usually means a disaster week 🙁

          1. Dexters Laboratory
            • 3 Years

            Yeah definitely save. 2Ft is a rare luxury

          Barnes is a truly garbage option. The greatest proof that stats are worthless without the eye test. I personally don't even rate him but found his stats hard to ignore. If it weren't for stats he wouldn't be anywhere near my team.

          Lesson learned; use stats as a helpful tool but don't let them override gut feeling and eye test completely.

            I fell for him last week too when Son was ‘injured’

            He is on my never again list - always flatters to deceive

          3. The Rock
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I own him as well and have to say, very disappointed with his returns.

            I never seemed to own him last season when he was doing well and looks like that's continued on to this season.

            Watch him start banging in the braces when we sell him!

          Lookman a decent budget option in midfield? Or go for someone like ASM

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            ASM - playing in a better team

          I find it interesting that the FFS captain poll had Salah top.

          And yet in my competitive mini leagues cumulatively:

          Salah - 17
          Son - 31
          Kane - 16

          Seems that Son was really the poll leader after all.

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

            Ye - almost everyone who had son (and not Kane) captained son

          2. Arfaish
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            If recent(ish) political results have taught us anything it is to never trust a poll

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

            Plenty brought in Son and capped him after Kdb was ruled out. Those people would have voted for salah initially

          sorry i have to ask this but there is no way I can afford 15 for extra matches.

          Reece James out for Konsa to double on Villa defence?
          6 home games in next 10 matches. (LEE,SOU, BHA, NEW, BUR, CRY) and the away trips (ars, whu, wol, wba) are against teams who have struggled offensively too.

          1. thegaffer82
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Not keen on double Villa DF personally.

            But, it's definitely a viable move that could pay off handsomely if Villa can keep their early season form

          RMWCT, 1.1m ITB.

          Martinez (Forster)
          Robertson Chilwell Lamptey (Ayling 3.9m)
          Salah Son Hamez Grealish (Bissouma)
          Kane DCL Watkins

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

            V similar to me but I prefer maupay over Watkins and Wolves defence over Chilwell. I’m not convinced chelsea will ever keep a clean sheet

            1. JasonG123
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I’m weighing up Maupay vs Watkins. Why do you prefer Maupay?

              I’ll be watching Semedo carefully tonight and may switch to him. All of Chelsea’s attack has gone through a Chilwell since he came into the team. I think once Mendy returns Chelsea will keep clean sheets.

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

            Looks good, can use the money itb to upgrade Watkins to Antonio GW8 for maybe even get Maupay now.

            1. JasonG123
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Getting Antonio is the plan, unless Watkins looks really good. I’m 50/50 on Maupay vs Watkins.

              I also like having the extra cash as insurance in the sense that it allows me to go Robbo to TAA. I think Robbo looks better now but want the option of backing out.

            really like it basically the same as my WC from last week (I went pulisic/Reguillon instead of Lamptey/Rodriguez)

            Villa fan so slightly biased, Watkins should offer decent returns as plenty of creativity around him and is a finisher, 3 home games in next 4 all look great and confience in squad must be sky high

          looking forward to watching leeds tonight theyve rather dropped out of the limelight having played city and a i/b in the last 3 weeks ,also in a weekend of far fewer penalties can we revert to normal please and one each for jimi and klich,thank you....

          1. TheDragon

            You meant a Semedo brace right?

              ive not got him but wouldnt affect me much so yep g/l with semedo

          This season has been beyond bizarre. And, I'm not just saying that because I'm doing cr@p. I did poorly last season too 🙂

          I only WCed a few weeks ago and I've already took a hit last week and I'm looking at a -8 to sort out my team going into next GW.

          ................Martinez
          ......TAA - Lamptey - Saiss
          Salah - Son - Pulisic - Barnes - Podence
          ..............Jimi - DCL
          Bench: Brewster - Justin - Mitchell
          1FT & 3.7 ITB

          Do you think these are decent transfers?

          Jimi, Barnes & Podence > Kane, Barkley & J-Rod (-8)

          I know many won't like the -8, which is a fair point. But, what do you think of the transfers themselves (kind of disregarding the -8 a little bit)?

          1. The Polymath
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I prefer to being in Grealish. Instead of J-Rod I would rather have a forward like Watkins with good fixtures.

            1. thegaffer82
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Can't afford Grealish unfortunately

          2. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years

            Not sure about Barkley but Kane & James are great to own.

            • 7 Years

            Not a fan of hits myself but those moves look amazing tbh, 3 upgrades which should pay off long term I think

            youll probably captain salah,so kane not a great upside,barkley is a career nightmare so just avoid leaving podence to hames for free ,your still in good shape
