Scout Notes

Which of Villa’s FPL assets impressed in their win over Vardy-less Leicester?

Leicester City 0-1 Aston Villa

  • Goals: Ross Barkley (£5.9m)
  • Assists: John McGinn (£5.5m)
  • Bonus: Barkley x3, Emiliano Martinez (£4.7m) x2, Tyrone Mings (£5.1m) x1, Matty Cash (£5.0m) x1

A 91st-minute winner from Ross Barkley (£5.9m) maintained Aston Villa’s perfect start to the season as Leicester lost at home for the second straight Gameweek.

The Chelsea loanee took John McGinn‘s (£5.5m) pass and drove towards the Foxes box before hitting a low shot past Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) into the bottom corner to make it four wins on the trot for Dean Smith’s side.

In a season of drama, controversy and so many goals, Sunday night’s encounter was of the old school – tight, cagey and, at times, rather dull.

But Villa’s win and Leicester’s woes ensured there was plenty of Fantasy interest.

Choices, Choices…

Last year’s main move by many in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) was a double-up on Liverpool defenders, with a third place in people’s squads for one of the Reds’ exalted front three.

Now, there’s a growing argument that a Villa triple-up is required.

Such is their strength at present, there are Fantasy contenders across the pitch.

Emiliano Martinez (£4.7m), who brought in save and bonus points on Sunday, is the leading FPL points scorer among goalkeepers, while Tyrone Mings (£5.1m) tops the defenders’ chart.

The team also has two midfielders – Jack Grealish (£7.2m) and McGinn – and striker Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) in their respective top tens.

Barkley, with 20 points overall, is close to joining that roll of honour, with 18 of those points having come from his two Villa games, both of which he’s scored in.

The key question is whether Villa’s form is sustainable.

Manager Smith is, as you’d expect, not getting carried away:

To come here, keep a clean sheet and play as well as we did is very pleasing. It’s important we keep our feet firmly on the ground and stay humble.

But with a fine fixture list all the way through to Boxing Day, the prospects of more of the same from Villa look very strong indeed.

McGinn The Groove

How to tap into all this is good stuff is tricky.

Grealish’s 24-point haul against Liverpool meant he went into the Leicester game with double the owners and his blank on Sunday hasn’t dampened managers’ enthusiasm – he’s again in the top five for transfers-in and his price has risen as a result.

The midfielder is all boom and bust so far. Other than his monster haul against Liverpool, he’s managed one eight-pointer and two blanks and he didn’t have a single shot at the King Power Stadium.

In fact, he had a poor game by his standards, with too many wrong choices made in the final third, mostly involving him holding on to the ball for far too long.

But his overall stats for the season – 14 chances created and nine attempts – are strong enough to ensure his 21% ownership will only rise at present.

The same cannot be said of Sunday’s assister, McGinn.

Five Villa players are currently in the top 30 for Gameweek 6 purchases. The 1.5%-owned McGinn is not one of them.

And yet the midfielder has been very consistent, with three straight returns, two of which were for double-digit hauls.

He now has a goal and four assists to his name this season and only Harry Kane (£10.7m) has set up more goals (seven).

Grealish is catching the eye and hoovering up the managers. McGinn remains the differential and currently frees up £1.7m in funds as well.

As for match-winner Barkley, Smith was generous with his praise:

We have seen Ross Barkley do that enough times for Everton and Chelsea so we are pleased he did it for us. It was touch and go whether he started. He had a knock to the knee, but a great goal and a real battling performance by the whole team.

But the midfielder’s previous record of burning brightly and then producing very little has clearly scarred FPL managers as he’s barely out-performing McGinn for purchases at present.

Pick A Defender, Any Defender

As well as being the leading FPL goalkeeper in terms of points, Martinez is also the most popular, with 21.6% ownership (and rising).

But you have to scroll a long way down the defenders list to find Villa names, with Mings (6.7%) and Ezri Konsa (£4.6m and 6.1%) the first to appear, even though the team has kept a league-leading three clean sheets.

The pair also lead the way among Villa’s backline for points – 30 and 28 respectively – with Matty Cash (18 points) and Matt Targett (£4.5m and 17pts) yet to produce attacking returns.

Targett, however, had two shots against the Foxes – no Villa player had more – while Cash has created four chances this season.

In terms of attacking points, the full-backs’ time will come, you feel, and Targett’s price tag could be a key factor for many.

No Vardy, No Party

Leicester out-shot their visitors 11-10, but barely stretched Martinez, a Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) effort the toughest of the five saves he had to make.

Much of the reason for that was down to the absence, with a calf injury, of striker Jamie Vardy (£10.1m).

Leicester started the season by scoring 12 goals in their first three matches, with five of them coming from the forward.

A deep-lying West Ham foiled the Foxes in Gameweek 4, but with no Vardy on Sunday, Villa could keep a higher line and not worry about being hurt in behind by Leicester’s other strikers, Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) and Islam Slimani (£5.0m), who managed just two shots between them.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers delivered the latest news on Vardy post-match.

Jamie will probably miss Thursday (Europa League). It’s a recurrence of a problem he’s had for a number of years with his calves. This isn’t serious, so we’re hopeful he’ll be ready for the next league game.

That will be music to the ears of his 22.5% ownership, although a trip to a defensively-improved Arsenal next week is not the fixture for forwards it was last season.

Leicester’s squad is fairly strong, which is just as well with a growing injury list for Rodgers to manage, but they are not the same threat without Vardy to lead the line and stretch defences.

Fofana Impresses

.

Another key man out injured, the 7.5%-owned Caglar Soyuncu (£5.5m), will not be returning any time soon, as Rodgers confirmed:

Caglar is more serious. The muscle has come right off the bone so he could be three months out.

His absence meant a debut for £32m Saint-Etienne signing Wesley Fofana (£5.0m), and the teenager was, generally, immaculate.

Rodgers was certainly a happy manager:

He was outstanding. Supporters will have great joy watching him. He’s got huge potential and he’ll be a big player for our future.

So while Vardy was sorely missed, Fofana ensured Soyuncu’s absence was fully covered – a welcome piece of news for the 20%+ of FPL managers hoping for future clean sheets from full-backs Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) and James Justin (£4.8m).


Leicester City XI (4-5-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Evans, Fofana, Castagne; Tielemans, Mendy (Choudhury 78′), Praet (Maddison 68′), Perez, Barnes, Iheanacho (Slimani 71′).

Aston Villa XI (4-5-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett; Luiz, McGinn, Trezeguet (Traore 81′), Barkley, Grealish; Watkins.

        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I actually am great differential with two great fixtures coming up?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I’d rather have Sterling but Kun could be great if fully fit.

          On form I’d go Kane at the moment.

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Need a ST.

            Thanks and I agree

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      There are way better 4.5 picks than cahill.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Like ?

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kun will take a few weeks to get his match fitness and fully up to speed, I would hold off..

  4. Hulk Smash

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Everton v Man Utd
    Leicester v Wolves
    Man City v Liverpool

    West Brom v Tottenham
    Chelsea v Sheffield Utd

    GW 8 will involve a lot of popular picks playing against each other, while Spurs and Chelsea have standout fixtures. You'd have to assume Kane and Son will be the popular captain picks, maybe Werner too if his form continues. Usually these weeks are frustrating because attacking hauls from premium players are harder to come by in tricky fixtures but does the 'goalfest' nature of this season generally mean that owning attackers in these games isn't much of a risk? The Merseyside derby, frequently a low scoring game, produced four goals and attacking returns for well owned players. Everton, United, City and Liverpool have all conceded plenty of goals so far. I expect most will own double Spurs by then anyway, but for those who leave it late to jump on them might regret it. They play Burnley, Brighton and West Brom in the next 3, but then their fixtures take a turn for the worse immediately after GW 8 with City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool in the next 5.

    Thoughts?

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

      It's really not a worry currently. Can see plenty of goals in all of those games, bar Wolves vs. Leicester

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Get city in!

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ha! A 4-4 between those two teams could be amazing to watch.

    3. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have 5.4 itb so I could do Ings/Jimi to Kane/Werner but that means drastically changing my team structure and having to perform another surgery if I want Kdb back when fit.
      If I had a WC I would definitely do it though.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        GW 10 looks like the time to load up on City. The Kane/Werner combo could rack up some mega points before then.

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will captain a Spurs player or even Antonio against Fulham if I own him.

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

      Bale, now or never

  5. Can’t beat em so&hell…

    Simple one... first to 3.

    A) Zaha

      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Tonyawesome69

      B

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

    How do I get Kane in here without losing Trent/Jimmy?

    Martinez (Steer)
    Trent - Saiss - Taylor (Lamptey & Dallas)
    Salah - Son - KDB - Podence (Burke)
    DCL - Maupay - Jimmy

    KDB & Maupay > Kane & Zaha/Grealish/Foden/Jorghino?

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

      Any of those options except Zaha look good

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

      I'd lose Jimi before Maupay, but transfers look fine.

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

        How do I get Kane into this then?

        Martinez (Steer)
        Trent - Saiss - Taylor (Lamptey & Dallas)
        Salah - Son - KDB - Podence (Burke)
        DCL - Jimmy - Maupay

        Doing Jimmy > Kane leaves me with -1.7m.

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

          Kdb>Pulisic/Havertz or even Grealish and bank the cash.

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

            I like the look of Zaha's fixtures and he's on pens?

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

              I own Zaha and want rid. Palace look terrible going forward.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB maupay to Kane Grealish/Zaha

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

      I would do KDB and Maupay to Kane and Grealish.

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

    After another poor GW, I have taken a - 8.

    Shall I just hit the WC and sort out the other players* or stick with the - 8?

    0.4itb 0ft
    Martinez Peacock*
    Robbo Ayling TAA* Taylor* Justin*
    Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez Bissouma
    DCL Kane Vassilev*

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you're continuously fighting fires week to week I'd use it. Having said that, your team looks alright. I would say Trent, Taylor, Justin and your 2nd keeper are luxury transfers tbh so unless you want to drastically change the structure of your team I would hold.

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

        I agree

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

        This is exactly my thoughts with the luxury transfers. It was more just to cancel the - 8 with the WC. My 3 transfers was McCarthy, Podence and Jimenez to Martinez, Rodriguez and Kane. Just felt those 3 players were weak links in my team.

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

        No drastic change in formation. I plan to keep TAA for the two home games then downgrade. Use the funds to change Vassilev to Antonio

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Your plan sounds good

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

      I would probably leave it. I did a similar thing this week. Took a -8 and was very close to wildcarding but didnt and was glad I held off. Ended up with 65 points after hits. You can play a decent 442 side or even play Bissouma in a 352.

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

        Thanks, it is getting close to WC but I think I'll stick with the - 8. I would play 352 in GW6.

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

          Honestly I'm so glad I held that wildcard! That international break felt like months. 352 with Bissouma v WBA is what I'd do as well. Hopefully that TAA and Robbo double up delivers this weekend

  8. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Adams or Wilson out for Kane??

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

      Wilson - Adams might kick in now after 1G and 1A

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t think the fact Wilson is on pens and the focal point of Newcastle affects your decision?

    2. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’d keep Wilson

  9. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't see either game today. Anyone care to give to give an opinion that seen the Wolves games

    1. Is Jimenez -> Kane with 1FT as straight forward as it seemed yesterday

    2. How did Podence look? Not a priority transfer I hope?

    Thanks.

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

      1. Yes easy
      2. Hold for now

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

      1. For free yes

      2. Podence was poor

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

      Yes and not a priority but I got rid. He was kicking on in the 2nd half with some chances and still got subbed

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wolves were totally outplayed first half, but shaded it second. I would do Jimi>Kane, but Podence was pretty anonymous.

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

      1. Can’t sell Jimmy against Newcastle imo

      2. Podence looked lively, should have scored and could have got an assist

  10. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any update on KDB? Don't REALLY want to move him out, but at the moment it's a choice of him or Kane and can't see anyone outscoring Kane atm.

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

      Not yet

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Too much cash to sit on your bench.

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

      I've had KDB on my bench. It's not nice thinking about all the big hitters everyone has over you in that spot. Unless I know he's playing this gameweek I'm transferring him out.

  11. Genji3lade
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on going Grealish over Hamez? (already own DCL)

    Hamez has 2 away fixtures next (Sou A, New A) and has blanked in both 2 previous away games this season.

    Grealish's next 2 are both are home (Lee H, Sou A)

    Concerned about Rodriguez's near 50% ownership though!

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

      Id go Hamez

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If Villa play like they have been then those fixtures are good.

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

    Is captaining Jimmy vs newcastle madness?

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

      Yeah

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

      Not at all. If Utd can score 4, so can Wolves.

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

        Yeah the number of shots united had despite fielding a weak team. That said, I probably won't, will stick to sterling then.

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

      Yes on paper. Especially with salah, mane, son, Kane, sterling all looking like great options

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

      Wolves didn't play that well... smash and grab

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

      Yes.
      He's been playing terribly in every single match so far.

    6. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      After Fulham I’m never captaining jimmi again.

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

        Yeah I told myself never to get any wolves attackers in the future after that game lol. But then every 2 of wolves goals Jimmy will have 1 contribution, so he's making me hard to transfer him out atm.

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

      Yes

    8. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not madness but if my captain cant take match ball home i dont (C) him

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

    Which transfer?

    A) Mahrez and Kane in for KDB and Ings
    B) Aguero and Bale in for KDB and Ings

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

      If Kdb is fit, those are sideways.

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

        The problem is I’ll be priced out if I don’t move now and I doubt we’ll know if KDB is fit until Friday

          If Kdb is back though, I expect him to Comfortably outscore Kane. Ings is looking consistent.

      A

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

      B is purely speculative and with European games starting this week I would pause on this

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Neither. I'd rather have Ings than Mahrez or Bale.

    Anything worth transfer or save?

      Save

  15. Botman and Robben

    1FT. 0.4 ITB. Roll FT?

    Martinez
    TAA Semedo Lamptey
    Salah Grealish Son JRod
    Maupay Kane DCL

    Steer Bissouma Dallas Mitchell

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years

      Yep. Team looks primed to score big!

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What we thinking? 1FT 3.4 ITB. Kane looking too good to ignore but Burnley could still be stubborn up next... Jimenez Podence on the chopping block

    Martinez (Steer)
    Robbo Saiss Lamptey (Taylor Mitchell)
    Salah(c) Son Havertz JRodriguez Podence
    Jimenez DCL (Davis)

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      My team is very similar although I’ve used my FT - for free id most definitely bring in Kane

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would get Kane now,fixtures turn in 3GWs.

      Kane > Kun could be good option after next 3

  17. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Probably get slaughtered for the dreadful bench but thoughts??

    Martinez
    Lamptey Trent Saiss Ayling (Branth)
    Son Salah Sterling Rodriguez (Biss)
    Kane Wilson (Brewster)

    Wilson is a possible placeholder for Antonio

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Where is DCL?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I have Rodriguez

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

      Just get Antonio now

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but not on WC this was a -4

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

    Just wondering if it would be worth taking a hit doing McCarthy to Martinez...

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

      I just took the hit

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

        Great keeper and great upcoming fixtures

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Difficult with GKs,last season after restart i didnt want to get Pope (-4) for 8 GWs.

      He destroyed my GK with 25+ pts,so hard to tell

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Long term gain for short term pain.

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit.

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

      Don’t agree on people saying don’t take a hit for a keeper. One of my best transfers was a hit for a keeper a couple of years ago when I brought in Heaton after a magnificent performance at Old Trafford.

      Take the hit if you don’t have a WC left. Martínez looks like a season keeper.

  19. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years

    Kane or Kun? (have Son and no City)

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

      Kane

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

      Kane

      Cheers

    4. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Although I’d say Kane over Aguero, do you really want no City? For that reason I think I’m going Aguero with Son

  20. HippY

    After GW5, how many of your original GW1 picks do you still have?

    11/15 here, wishing I still had Werner from last week though!

    Struggling to pull the trigger on Jimenez > Kane... am I mental?

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

      Not mental at all. I see the appeal of Jiminez for the next few weeks, who else could be sacrificed?

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

      Jimmy has a nice home fixture. Kane is not playing Soton or Westham. Hold!

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. Jimmy good fixtures, trying to find a way round it myself....

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did it on a -4 to bring in a 3.9m his price will be 11.9 by Friday

    5. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's just that Wolves don't seem too threatening atm.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, they look a little flat, I’m happy to move him on for now..

    6. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My main worries come with there being midweek games tbh. Also think Burnley could make life difficult for Spurs perhaps?

      But maybe I’m overthinking

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I still see spurs scoring at least 2

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

      yes

    8. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      not mental but Wolves don't look great going forward. They look organised but not very attacking. Some of that is from losing Doherty.
      Think they're defence is the only thing worth owning currently.
      Kane on the other hand looks red hot

    9. Maarrrr17
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ive got the same issue and reasoning is, kane is in better form, team is in better form, both have good fixtures.
      Kane has more games but jimi only scored because of a major deflection.
      I dont think its gonna hurt you too bad if jimi scores next week, but if kane hauls again you will be kicking yourself.

    10. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane returning to near fixture proof. Simple answer. Get Kane

  22. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thanks for the advice above.... so last one...

    1) Kane, Bamford, Hamez +1.9m
    2) Aguero, Jimmy, Grealish

  23. HD7

    Start Mitchell as he wont probably be subbed in if he doesnt start and Bissouma goes in as first fantasy sub?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years

      Yes

  24. nerd_is_the_werd

    Dunne ---> Kilman for -4?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Don’t be silly.

      Unnecessary

    0.4itb, 1ft

    Need some advice here. Planned to do Ramsdale + Vardy to Martinez + Kane but with that Rams fall last night now I am 0.1 short on that move.

    What to do now? Keep Vardy for Ars and do only Rams to Martinez or TAA + Vardy to Robertson + Kane for -4?

    Yes or hold for another week
