Champions League

The best players to sign and captain for UCL Fantasy Matchday Two

Fantasy Premier League managers frustrated from a weekend of disappointing domestic action might find the perfect remedy in the second round of UEFA Champions League Fantasy.

Matchday One produced some huge scores and it looks like there are some great match-ups to deliver a repeat performance in Matchday Two, which begins tonight. 

In this article I will discuss the captaincy options for the upcoming round, as well as players to bring into, and ship out of, your team. 

Captains Sensible

Last week I recommended Lionel Messi (€12.0m), Romelu Lukaku (€11.0m) and Duván Zapata (€9.5m), who all scored double digits in opening week, so I am for a 100% success rate this time around.

Tuesday, October 27

Sensible

When I picked out Robert Lewandowski (€12.0m) as obvious candidate for Matchday One, he managed to disappoint, despite Bayern Munich putting four past Atlético Madrid. But I still think he’s a good option for Matchday Two, especially after netting a perfect hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday took him to ten goals in just four Bundesliga games this season.

Bayern are visiting Lokomotiv Moscow, who lost 2-1 to Rotor Volgograd at the weekend. Having watched their 2-2 draw with RB Salzburg last week, the Russian side could have conceded five if the Austrian champions had their shooting boots on. Lewandowski definitely has his shooting boots on at the moment and I have absolute faith he’ll have them packed for the trip to Moscow. 

Differential 

With giants Liverpool and Bayern both boasting appealing fixtures this week, I had a plethora of choices for Tuesday night’s differential pick. Avoiding both sides, I have gone for Atlético Madrid’s new star man Luis Suarez (€10.0m). 

Owned by just 5% of UCL Fantasy managers, the former Barcelona forward has scored four goals in his first five league games for Atleti. With Diego Costa (€8.5m) still out injured, Suarez is guaranteed to start as the main striker for Madrid’s noisy neighbours. They host RB Salzburg tonight, whose defence looked ropey at best in their opening match against Lokomotiv.

Wednesday, October 28

Sensible

Although Erling Haaland (€11.0m) is another great pick for Wednesday’s games, I’ve plumped for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe (€11.0m). The Frenchman came off the bench to score twice late on at the weekend, meaning he’s got the deadly combination rest and form. 

All of Mbappe’s UCL Fantasy goals last season came away from home and PSG will be angry and in need of a big win after their fairly dire defeat to Manchester United last Tuesday. Istanbul Basaksehir looked pretty toothless in their loss to RB Leipzig and should be the perfect opposition for PSG to re-announce themselves as a source of Fantasy gold.

Differential

Despite being a Chelsea fan, I have not placed much faith in Frank Lampard’s side in Fantasy Football games over the last two seasons. Timo Werner (€10.5m) finally got himself on the scoresheet against Southampton with a spectacular brace and after consecutive goalless draws have stopped Super Frank’s Kepa-related night terrors, he might finally focus on trying to score a goal. 

Krasnodar are the perfect opposition to aid in this quest, a side already low in genuine quality which have been hit hard by injuries and absences recently. Their distinctly uninspiring 1-1 draw with Rennes marked them out as, well, distinctly uninspiring, and their 3-1 loss to Spartak Moscow at the weekend won’t have helped confidence. I fancy Werner to do some damage in Russia. 

Who should I sign?

With the next few rounds building up to Matchday Five proving the most popular time to deploy the Wildcard, I have picked five teams to target over that period. 

Now they cannot play each other for three Matchdays, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid both have three favourable fixtures against Lokomotiv Moscow and RB Salzburg coming up, which could provide some big points hauls. 

For the reigning champions, in-game defender Joshua Kimmich (€6.5m) continues to play out of position as a defensive midfielder. He got a 10-point haul last time out, another assist at the weekend and will continue to be nailed on and involved at both ends. As close to an essential player as you can find in this game. If you’re looking to save some cash, Lucas Hernandez (€5.0m) is now first-choice at left-back for the foreseeable future after Alphonso Davies’ (€6.0m) injury. 

Moving forward, Bayern’s attack look prime targets to bring in, depending on who’s going to start. Although Serge Gnabry (€10.0m) is confirmed to be back after a false positive COVID test, I prefer Thomas Müller (€10.0m) starting behind Lewandowski. 

Gnabry has tended to start on the right wing for Bayern so far this season, with his three league goals all coming against Schalke, when he started on his preferred left-hand side. We have the benefit of seeing the Bayern line-up before the deadline this week, so I’d watch out for whoever starts on the left for them. If it’s Gnabry, expect big things, but in the more likely event it’s the returning Leroy Sane (€9.5m) or the in-form Kingsley Coman (€8.0m), they could do well too.

Staying in Group A, Atlético play two of their next three at home and are now on a 21-game unbeaten streak in the league. Their defence remains as mean as ever, and I’d look to bring in the kindly-priced Renan Lodi (€5.0m). The left-back is nailed-on to start and can provide at both ends, also bringing in three points for balls recovered last week. Felipe (€4.5m) is slightly cheaper and recovered eight balls last week, but with Jose Giminez (€5.0m) returning from injury his place in the team may be under threat. 

Moving to Group E, Chelsea and Sevilla both have games against Krasnodar and Rennes coming up. I’ve already mentioned Werner as my favourite pick for Chelsea, but Jorginho (€6.0m) seems to have solidified his place in the starting XI, is on penalties and recovered six balls against Sevilla. 

For the Spanish outfit, Diego Carlos (€5.0m) brought in nine ball-recoveries last week. Their defence has been particularly strong so far this season and with Jules Koundé (€4.0m) still out with COVID-19, Carlos is the best source of points for Sevilla.

The final team to target is Borussia Dortmund. Their Matchday Two opponents Zenit St Petersburg looked poorer than expected against Club Brugge and lost their most recent domestic fixture at home to Rubin Kazan over the weekend. 

Jadon Sancho (€10.0m) is yet to hit form, but expect it to come soon, quite possibly on Wednesday evening. In defence, Thomas Meunier (€5.0m) and Mats Hummels (€5.0m) delivered 11 ball recoveries in their loss to Lazio and Dortmund will be looking to get points on the board in their group. Expect big points for players across all five of these teams. 

Who has to go?

There were several key injuries around Europe’s top leagues over the weekend which impact the upcoming round of Champions League matches. 

Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho (€9.0m) picked up a knock in El Clasico, which will keep him out until at least after the international break. Sergio Aguero (€10.0m) can expect to be out for a similar length of time for Manchester City, leaving them without a recognised striker yet again. 

Although he was benched for the game against Atlético last week, Davies was expected to return to the line-up for Bayern this week until he was injured just three minutes into their domestic match on Saturday. 

All three are out for at least the next two Champions League Matchdays and should be looking to leave your squad. 

Having played their easiest games of the group stages, RB Salzburg, Lokomotiv Moscow, Rennes and Krasnodar now have a tough run of fixtures. 

Any players owned from those squads, such as Sehrou Guirassy (€6.5m) and Patson Daka (€7.5m), will likely have a fairly barren few Matchdays coming up. 

Atalanta and RB Leipzig also have three challenging fixtures on the horizon and, although I wouldn’t take them out just yet, be aware that they have tough games through Matchday Three and Four. Therefore, try not to pile-up on high-scoring Matchday One assets like Zapata and Angelino (€5.0m). 

The same goes with Club Brugge players like Charles de Ketelaere (€4.5m), another Matchday One hero, who now faces an in-form Lazio side and Borussia Dortmund home and away. 

With that, good luck all. Here’s to hoping for another great UCL Fantasy Matchday.

    Hi. What was LMS safety score???

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

      34

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Made it by one point 🙂

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

      Does the LMS take into consideration the number of hits taken that GW?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes I think so. Has to be

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

          When do they remove players from the league? I got 31 points including the -8 hits and if the LMS safety score is 34 then I should be removed from the league.

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

    Any of these moves worth it for free?

    A) Werner and Soucek to Antonio and Zaha
    B) Trent and Brewster to Zouma and Antonio
    C) Trent and Soucek to Zouma and Zaha

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

      Isn't Antonio an injury doubt?

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

        sorry, i did mean to put injury news depending

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio could be out for up to 6 weeks. I definitely wouldnt do these

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

      Perhaps Trent to Chilwell and save a FT?

    4. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hold all

  3. AJ24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan, McCarthy
    Trent, Saiss, Wan-Bissaka, Justin, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, James Rod, Podence, Bissouma
    Jimenez, DCL, Mitro

    3.3m ITB - 1FT - All chips intact. Overall Rank 962,000 and 60 points behind top of my money league.

    This season hasn't seemed to happen for me as of yet. Unsure whether to Wildcard now or try and hold off.

    Any initial thoughts, in need of a helping suggestion or 5..

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

      Buy Kane, WC GW9

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

      you probably want to lose

      Trent
      AWB
      Podence
      Mitro

      3 of those have good fixtures so no panic. i'd be tempted by Jimenez to kane and roll with it.

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

      Get Kane and keep WC

  4. Gunner1290
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did anyone watch the Liverpool Sheffield game? How did Robertson and Trent look? Were they as attacking as usual or did their positions change since the van djik injury?

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

      Robertson looked decent, TAA had a wonderful assist that tee’d up a Salah goal which would have made goals of the season reel if not for a marginal (correct) offside.

      I’ve got the double up, holding for this week but think one may need to be shifted to accommodate Chilwell for Chelsea’s favourable run that’s coming up.

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

        I agree. I would hold them too. I have them both with chilwell. Heavy at the back

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

    For 1 GW only:
    Lewa - Mbappe - ?

    Double up with Neymar or Haaland?

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

      Haaland

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kdb owners keeping or selling and if selling, for who ?

  7. El Magico5
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking Barnes > Zaha, worth it or save FT?

    Martinez
    TAA, James, Saiss
    Salah, Son, Barnes, Foden, Grealish
    Kane, DCL

    Steer, Lamptey, Taylor, Brewster

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save 100%

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

      I'm not a fan of Zaha due to previous picks and is a troll. However, he has great fixtures coming up, playing OOP and on pens when Milo is not on so I think it is worth it.

  8. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this two week punt before a WC in GW9 ??

    Sterling + Maupay --> Kane + Grealish (-4)

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

      I'm not sure on that one

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

      If you're going to captain Kane then it could pay off.

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

    Guys maupay and bissouma to Brewster and foden for free??

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

      If nothing pressing to fix then yes. Foden is ticking over nicely

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

      Need to see the rest of your team. Feels like a waste of two transfers just to bring in Foden.

  10. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dont you worry about Antonio injury prone?

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

      don't really worry about players being injury prone in FF. Pick them when they're fit, take them out when they're injured.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

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

      I never pick players unless they've been back for a while and managed to play full games

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

    Thoughts on what to do with these lot with 1FT & 0.2 ITB?

    McCarthy
    Robbo / Saiss / Justin
    Salah / Son / Zaha / Grealish
    Kane / Ings / DCL

    Forster / Lamptey / Mitchell / Stephens

    Thanks

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

      roll FT

  12. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Couple general questions:
    1) Do we really need Pool defenders still?
    A ML rival on WC abandoned Pool on defense and he's been steadily gaining in OR. I'm starting to consider it, too. Problem is, Trent (who I currently own) is still the most-owned defender, so if he finally clicks on, that could be a setback.

    2) Do we really need a premium City attacker?
    When KDB was flagged, I made the switch to Sterling. Worked out immediately, but now thinking that ~5m difference could be better spent after downgrading to Foden. Of course, I suppose this is all moot if KDB comes back with a haul...

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

      No to both questions.

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't let ownership influence your decisions. I'm keeping TAA but not because of his ownership, I liked what I saw v SHU.
      And yes you will need a City attacker from gw10 onwards

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I wouldn't say ownership is making the decision for me, but it certainly factors in (I think).

        I haven't seen anything from that Sheffield game, unfortunately. But if he looked good, then so be it.

    3. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA will eventually get double digit points, but if he has blanked for enuf GWs before that, it's worthwhile having not owned him. I had him for just 1 GW. I'm going without him or Robbo for the foreseeable future

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

        Thing with Trent is that when he starts firing, it’s not so easy to return to him. May require a hit to do so then

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

    Another dreadful GW and sitting at 3.2m. I will save my FT depending any injuries.

    Which player to start and first on the bench?
    1. Bissouma (A vs TOT)
    2. Justin (A vs LEE)
    3. Taylor ( H vs CHE)

    0.4itb 1ft
    Martinez
    Robbo Ayling TAA
    Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez Bissouma*
    DCL Kane
    (Peacock Justin* Taylor* Vassilev)

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

      I'd probably take a hit to avoid playing one of those 3

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Justin easily

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

      Downgrade TAA or Robbo. Use fund to upgrade your 7th attacker next gw

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

    What’s everyone’s team value? Has it helped or hindered you so far?

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

      102.9m, but i don't think about it. Value going up is just a result of having players that are doing well and others are transferring in.

      I've always found that it makes the biggest difference on second wildcard.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's pretty high
        I'm 1 mil behind u. What's ur Sale Value? (money itb if u were to sell all ur players now).
        Mine is 100.7

        1. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          My selling value is also 100.7 but my team value is 102.4.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      103.4 - has neither helped nor hindered. Much of the value is tied up in players I don’t plan on selling in the near term. Also, I think there are more than enough value picks this year to make TV not that big a deal.

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

      103.4 TV / 101.5 SV ... every penny counts but it's no use if the players keep blanking

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

      103

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

        101 SV

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      101.7 has hindered me on my WC

    6. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Been stubbornly patient with my team, so it's 101.5. Staying afloat and managing green arrows--albeit small ones--but it's not exactly helpful when drafting a WC.

  15. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which West ham defender would you prefer?

    A) Masuaku
    B) Coufal

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cresswell. Top 4 scoring defender with the worst fixtures imaginable. Let's see what he can do with a gorgeous fixture run..

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

        Do you think he's worth the extra £0.5m? I can afford it!

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

        He's not worth 0.5m more.

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

      A better stats, B more nailed as it seems. I have Justin and Mitchell so probably prefer safety over stats

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

      Coufal ... not sure Masuaku or Cresswell are going to end up that much better than they have in previous seasons

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

        I think both will considering how solid West Ham are looking at the moment.

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

          Masuaku also hasn't been a wing-back before

    4. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I prefer Coufal because every time I watch Masuaku he really strikes me as being not very good of a player. Sure he's doing well and all but I don't feel like it's sustainable

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

    A) TAA, Mitro -> Coufal, Kane
    B) Jimi -> Kane and bank a FT
    C) Podence -> Grealish/Zaha

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

      Have Robbo FWIW

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      a

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

      A

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

      Cheers all

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

    Have 2FTs, would you do Maupat to Bamford?

    Also, could move Hamez, to e.g. Zaha, if he will be confirmed out.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like either tbh. Wait on Hames news

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

        What is good about keeping Maupay?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Well if he scored that easy chance yesterday would you still be getting rid?

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

            Spurs next and Brighton ain't as impressive as you would like them to be

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think they will get plenty of chances against Spurs

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

      Maupay ofc!

  18. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Taylor -> Targett (SOU) this week or save FT?

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

      How much you have in bank?

      1. Pukki Blinders

    Salah Mane Son Foden
    Jimenez DCL Watkins

    (Steer Lamptey Bissouma Mitchell)
    0.1m & 2 FTs

    TAA, James & Jim ➡️ Kane, Chillwell & Kilman

    Thoughts on these moves for -4?

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

      Decent, James almost certainly has to go and while I would give TAA one more game the upside of Kane is too great

    Apart from selling Aguero are there any changes that I could do with a -4

    Martinez Areola

    Semedo Keane Chilwell Lamptey Dallas

    Son Grealish Havertz Lookman Trossard

    Kane Aguero DCL

    0.3 ITB 1 FT No WC

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years

      Aguero to werner
      Keane to zouma

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

    Who to play out of these 4?
    a) Burke (MCI)
    b) soucek (liv)
    c) KWP (avl)
    d) Mitchell (wol)

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C

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

      B or C, probably C.

  22. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years

    Would you bench

    A) Barnes
    B) Watkins

    1. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Barnes

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t put yourself in this situation, Barnes

    Liverpool front three have been rested, Klopp sticking with the 4-2-3-1

              • 3 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              If Liverpool continue to play the 4-2-3-1

                • 3 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                ah ok

    2. Atimis

      Where?

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

      Does this mean Salah for the armband

    4. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Are u telling me jota is gonna be a regular starter?

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

        4-3-3 is still an option

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

    Happy with my Team but not with my points!! Anything you would change here (for a hit) chaps? 2.5 ITB.

    Martinez (SOU)
    Saiss (CRY), Chilwell (bur), Kilman (CRY)
    Salah (WHU), Son (BHA), Fernandes (ARS), Barkley (SOU)
    Kane (BHA), DCL (New), Bamford (LEI)

    (Steer, Justin, Mitchell, Bissouma)

    Next week will likely upgrade Bissouma (Foden) or Barkley (Zaha/Rodriguez), or Saiss/Kilman if needed.

    Cheers!

    1. Toby Lerone

      nothing worth a hit

  25. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I need a defender around 4.5 - 4.6, ideally for the next 8-10 gameweeks...

    Best option?

    A - Masuaku
    B - Coufal
    C - Dallas
    D - Ayling
    E - KWP

    Current defence: Martinez - Trent, Saiss, Justin, Shaw, Digne*

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

      A or B

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

      Targett also an option

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

      Any of first 4 are decent picks, I'd go with one of the West Ham guys just due to first fixtures.

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

      A and B look good. Vestergaard may be worth a look. Southhampton looking better defensively, have a decent run of fixtures and you have his ariel threat from set pieces?

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes also considering Vestergaard

    5. Rains of Castamere

      Thanks all

    What formation are West Ham playing that allows them to play both Cresswell and Masuaku?

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

      5 at back probably

      1. Black Knights
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cresswell as LCB, Masuaku and Coufal as wing backs.

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

      Cresswell is playing LCB

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      5 at the back, they basically hug each other

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

      Cheers all - would be 0.1 short of Cresswell in GW8 so nice to know that Masuaku is an option at wing back

  27. Pegboy
    • 13 Years

    Ryan (Forster)
    Saiss Semedo James (Lamptey Mitchell)
    Son Salah Zaha Foden (Anguissa)
    Kane (c) DCL Jimi

    2FT £1.3m

    a) James > Chilwell
    b) Ryan > Martinez

    I don't normally do GK transfers outside of wildcards, but feels a good time.

    I was planning to ship Saiss + Jimi next week, but if I do option B, I may have to remove James instead.

    Feedback on this?? - 1ft 0itb

    Martinez / Button

    Taylor / Saiss / Webster / Justin / Mitchell

    Salah / Son / KDB / Fernandes / Hamez

    Wilson / DCL / Brewster

  29. Greasy Susan

    God, my indecision makes me want to poke my eyes out! I have £4.3M ITB with 1FT and want to give the team a hot cash injection, which currently looks like;

    Ryan McCarthy
    Justin Saiss Chillwell Mitchell Dunne
    Zaha Salah Son Rodriguez Mendy
    DCL Bamford Kane

    Upgrade Rodriguez to Mane, Sterling or Fernandez? Put the money into my average defence? Something mad like DCL to Vardy? I'm keeping Zaha due to their fixtures and him giving me tingly feeling for the next few gameweeks.

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

      Save FT, have 2 for next week, by which time you can assess fitness of KDB, Antonio etc.

      1. Greasy Susan
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Good point actually. I think this is the first year ever where I haven't had at least one Man City player in my team.

  30. Zlatan F.C

    Does Ferguson to Kilman seem sensible here? 3.3m in the bank 1 FT

    Martinez
    Robbo Saiss James
    Grealish Salah Son foden Podence
    DCL Kane

    Forster lamptey Brewster Ferguson

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

      I would say upgrading any of James, Podence, Lamptey and Brewster is more pressing than worrying about Ferguson.
