The FPL impact of Aït-Nouri’s debut on Saïss, Kilman and Podence

Wolves 2-0 Crystal Palace

  • Goals: Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m), Daniel Podence (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Pedro Neto (£5.5m)
  • Bonus points: Aït-Nouri x3, Nelson Semedo x2 (£5.5m), Neto x1

CRY WOLF

Fantasy Premier League managers finally got a definitive clue to Nuno Espirito Santo’s long-term plans for his defence this season in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

And, much to the dismay of the 22.4% in possession of Romain Saïss (£5.3m), the top-scoring FPL defender in 2020/21, we received confirmation that his role is diminishing.

The return to fitness of Marçal (£4.9m) and the arrival of Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m) had been creeping up on Saïss for the last few weeks as he stood in at left wing-back.

But the emergence of Max Kilman (£4.2m) has caught him between a rock and a hard place considering that his old job has now been taken too. Crucially, against Palace, Saïss stayed on the Wolves bench. Helpful for avoiding one-point cameos but increasing the need for nearly a quarter of managers to draw on their bench. 

Of FPL defenders, only Trent Alexander-Arnold (33.2%) and the injured Tyrick Mitchell (25.7%) came into Gameweek 7 with more owners than Saïss, who actually became the most popular in that position among the top 10,000 managers on Friday night.

The fact that he is no longer guaranteed starts could mean a large number of managers already have one transfer booked in for Gameweek 8, especially those who feel they cannot bench a non-playing asset at £5.3m. Interestingly, 8.2% of all managers own both Saïss and Mitchell, although the latter is easier to keep on the bench for a few weeks.

Accordingly, we could see a flash-sale of the Wolves man in the coming days, especially as his team’s upcoming fixtures now take a turn for the worse from a defensive perspective anyway. Wolves travel to Leicester, Arsenal and Liverpool between now and Gameweek 11.

RAYAN ADVENTURES

Meanwhile, any hope that Saïss might somehow fight his way back to either left wing-back or centre-back were dashed by fantastic performances from both Aït-Nouri and Kilman against Crystal Palace.

Considering he is a natural left wing-back, it should come as no surprise that Aït-Nouri offered a much better balance to the Wolves side than Saïss did. He was also on-hand to blast Cheikhou Kouyaté‘s (£5.0m) first-half clearance into the bottom corner of Vicente Guaita‘s (£5.0m) net to give Wolves a well-deserved lead.

Bombing forward with intent and energy, the 19-year-old matched what Nelson Semedo (£5.5m) offered on the right and, as a result, Crystal Palace struggled to cope with how wide the pitch became.

“(Aït-Nouri) is brilliant. He’s come in and learned the role inside out. He’s really sharp. Turns you inside out with his bag of tricks. Tonight, I thought he was brilliant.” – Conor Coady

“(Aït-Nouri) played good. He has a lot of talent. There is a lot to improve on the defensive aspect and the shape of the team. But to score on your debut is great.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

DEAR PODENCE

Arguably, the chief beneficiaries of the impact Aït-Nouri had on the Wolves team were for Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.5m), who each got their third attacking returns of the season in Gameweek 7.

Each wing-back taking up advanced positions, and offering energy and enthusiasm to track back, although, admittedly Aït-Nouri was not as good at that part of the job as Semedo (which Nuno picked up on, based on the above quote). Generally, the extra pace in these areas allowed the two wingers much more freedom to roam forward and cause problems against Palace.

Podence was particularly lively in the early stages, as Wolves finally rediscovered how to start games on the front foot. It is telling that Aït-Nouri’s 18th-minute goal was their first scored in the first half since Gameweek 1.

Then, after teeing up Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m) for a seventh-minute headed effort and watching Guaita palm away a 10th-minute curled strike, Podence finally rewarded the patience of his 3.6% ownership with a first attacking return since Gameweek 2. 

Netting his first goal since this same fixture last season, the former Olympiacos man ghosted in at the back post to slot under Guaita after Neto had found space behind Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) for a cross.

ON THE SPOT

The 482,570 Fantasy managers who signed Wilfried Zaha (£7.3m) for Gameweek 7 were, naturally, disappointed to see him pick up just one point at Wolves.

The fact that Nuno’s men have kept four clean sheets from a possible seven now arguably makes his rather quiet display feel like more of an anomaly, considering he averaged 10 points per away game before Friday night.

With Leeds (home), Burnley (away), Newcastle (home) and West Bromwich Albion (away) up next, there is still plenty of reasons to be positive about Zaha’s credentials.

Not least because he might be back on penalties again after Luka Milivojevic‘s (£5.7m) short-lived return to the Crystal Palace side.

During the club captain’s absence, Zaha has taken on responsibility for spot-kicks. But, when the Eagles were awarded one in the first half at Molineux, it was, unsurprisingly, Milivojevic who prepared to take it.

In the end, the penalty was ruled out for an offside in the build-up but the fact the Serbian collected the ball and stood over it spoke volumes.

However, Zaha owners were handed something of a reprieve as Milivojevic was sent off for violent conduct in the closing stages. At present, his ban lasts three matches, which would, of course, be ideal for anyone wanting Zaha to take some more penalties.

That said, it would be worth keeping an eye on whether or not Palace decide to appeal the decision and try to shorten the suspension.

“I’m disappointed about the red card. I personally thought it was a fair challenge from Luka Milivojević. But the referee, unfortunately, had a different opinion.” – Roy Hodgson

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Kilman, Coady, Boly; Aït-Nouri, Neves, Dendoncker, Semedo; Neto (Moutinho 76′), Jiménez (F Silva 90+1′), Podence (Traoré 76′).

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Schlupp (Eze 65′), Riedewald, Milivojevic, Townsend (Ayew 72′); Zaha, Batshuayi (Benteke 84′).

      I think the only reason Batshuayi is there is due to the order of the alphabet!

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        That or price

        1. beric

          Its price

    4. AC/DC AFC

      Nice!

  2. Das Boot
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    is it reasonable to assume that Chelseas penalty duties will be with Werner after Jorghino missed his 2nd pen in as many weeks
    on Wednesday

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

      Up to Lampard, he said he’d discuss it with them

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No.

      1. Das Boot
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        ok. cheers both,

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

      Nope

  3. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Ait Nouri is as skillful as many are saying is he the best switch for Saiss?

    Or do the Wolves fixtures mean a West Ham or PVA pick is better at that price?

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

      Don’t see him as nailed just yet

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think he will be more or less nailed, but don't like wolves fixtures

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      PVA is an awful pick. CP have had good fixtures and still only kept one CS

      and they score very few goals so little assist or goal potential

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Semedo or Kilman if you want Wolves

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        CP have been massively unlucky not to have 2 cs

      3. Roysgotnoboys
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        PVA is never an awful pick

    4. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's too young, I can see him getting rotated just to look after him.

    Who is the best West Ham defender replacing Saiss?

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

      Coufal for me

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal

      or Cress if you have a bit more money

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

      Cresswell for me

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

    I think people should be bracing for a Chilwell rest this week...

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. I brought him in half expecting it so i can't really complain. I feel like a Reece James owner making potentially a bad decision by ignoring reality

    2. The Albatross
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hope not. I'm already down to 2 defenders

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

        That guy is as unreliable as it gets

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'll believe anything 🙂

  6. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha's next 4 fixtures are excellent...

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hope yesterday's performance make people stay away from him

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Him back on penalties is even more exciting

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          PVA takes them imo

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Possible, what's his record like?

          2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            This ^^

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Leeds & Burnley will be tough I would imagine.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Leeds are the perfect team for him, his pace and dribbling should exploit their high line. They conceded ~1.5 xG to Villa so it's not like the defense is watertight either.

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Everyone said this ahead of Leeds versus city, no?

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Sterling scored?

        2. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Could be possible but the way Leeds play with high intensity I think it'll be tough game for the old & lazy Palace players to cope with that. Wouldn't be suprised if Leeds win to nil.

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Can see Leeds winning but Zaha will return IMO

    3. RocketMan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Leeds and Burnley are being hugely overlooked ..... just because its green people are just saying great... they aint that good

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Leeds are great, Burnley less so.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Leeds will win for sure but they leave loads of space a d concede tons of chances. Should be a good fixture for Zaha

  7. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves finally get their attack going. Seemingly at the expense of Jiménez.

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think it will change dependant on the team, still probably time to shift though as can see them doing the same vs similar teams.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He was in and around several of their best chances, but his role is starting to look similar to Kane in dropping deep while the runners go ahead. And Wolves don’t score enough for that to be okay

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

      It’s definitely time to move him on

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I didn't like how deep he was.

      If Antonio's not fit for next GW, I'm not sure what I'll do with him...

  8. The Nuttman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What do people think about doing Saiss to Cresswell?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Popular on here

      I’m waiting to see if Coufal could be a better option for less

      Chilwell too

      1. The Nuttman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Coufal does seem good as well, not sure why I'm not a fan of Chilwell, maybe I still fear a rogue Kepa X-D

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

      I am doing this unless I really need to save the 0.5 and will go Coufal

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’m going Coufal for that reason SM as it enables Berkley >Rash GW9

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

          That a great use of the 0.5 saved

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal, but waiting until after the pool game to press the button

    4. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Thinking about it
      Also Thinking about Semedo.
      Not sure yet

    5. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Done already. Cresswell's stats and fixtures are great

  9. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Expect Salah to get a solid 7-8pointer today but went with Kane cause i expect Spurs to score 2+ on Sunday

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If Mo doesn’t get a major haul today I honestly think there is a case for selling.

      At his price this should be a no brainer captaincy option. If he doesn’t deliver, then with the Manchester team fixtures coming soon I don’t see how he can offer value.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A "major haul" is very unlikely.

        His fixtures are excellent after GW10 too.

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

        Very harsh, can’t expect a player to haul every single week no matter what their price is

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          This

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But then that's the case for all premium mids. Will you be saying the same for Sterling, Raz or Bruno if they blank one game?

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you expect salah to get 7 or 8 and you didn't captain him, that is bad management imo

      1. Big Hands Barry
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Disagree. He expects Kane to score more than 8

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Expecting a player to score more than 1 in the premier league is too high expectation. Id take 8 points with my captaincy every week

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Sorry but 8 point per week from captain in a goal fest season is a bit low

            1. Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              It's 604 points a season, how many more do you want...

              1. Nightcrawler
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Im on 61 points first 6 games from captain and even then i feel likes ive missed big hauls/made wrong calls

                1. Flair
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  By that metric 61 is poor, I'm on 94 (C) points currently, 2 off the required points total if we take 16 points from our captain each week.

                  1. Nightcrawler
                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    61 is over 10 ppg and ive made a few wrong calls. When the goals are flowing with no corwds and more pens its easy to get 10 ppg

            2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
              • 14 Years

              Ridiculous. You are going to be very disappointed with that outlook

    Berge a good pick from GW9? A bit out there but thoughts?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Soucek the man

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

      Not for me, Soucek or none at that price

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      But Berge is on penalties 😮

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

        Realistically how many penalties will SHU get? 2-3 a season I’d say

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Already had 2 this season

          1. Nightcrawler

            3 actually

    I consider the bottom 9 teams to be: Aston Villa, Newcastle, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Sheffield Utd, Burnley, West Bromwich Albion, and Fulham.

    Typically such teams are dependent on one or two players to get results. I reckon they are:

    Villa: Mings, Grealish
    Newcastle: Dubravka, ASM
    West Ham: Fabianski, Antonio
    Palace: Guaita, Zaha
    Brighton: Dunk, Maupay
    Sheffield Utd: Baldock, O'Connell
    Burnley: Mee, Tarkowski
    WBA: Pereira
    Fulham: Mitrovic

      What does that say about Arsenal and Aubameyang?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Arsenal have a tough run of fixtures (Liverpool, Man City, Leicester, Man Utd). I don't think they are quite a one-man or two-man team. But let's see.

        My concern with Arsenal is that I can get players from Chelsea, Man Utd etc who are similarly priced and are likely to do better than Arsenal over the long run.

        Ha. Just putting it out there for comment. Agree or disagree?

        Personally think you take one or both of these out the relevant team and there will be a significant drop off in performance that means you can target them in FPL.

      Pope and Martinez?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not for me. Martinez is good, but Mings is the leader of that defence. Pope is a system GK. He depends on the players in front of him sticking to their tasks. Heaton was just as good as Pope and I expect BPF to do a similar job to Pope.

      Everton and Richarlison.

    It greatly irritates me that City, Liverpool, and United all have a fixture swing around GW10. One at a time people!

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

      Perfect for us WCers hey

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Must be nice

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can make 3 transfers and have midfield of Salah, Raz/KDB, Bruno Son & Foden. But I'm not sure if I want sell Mane for a City/Utd mid while Pool have good fixtures. Kane can become either Bruno in GW9 or Sterling/Raz in GW10.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If Antonio is fit I'd love to rock a DCL-Antonio front two and invest in midfield. Lots of planning to do after the matches are played, United especially interest me - not sure on their assets. 2 FT flexibility is useful!

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yup even I'm not sure about United. Need to see more from them next 2 games if I want to sell Kane for Bruno. DCL & cheap forward does look a decent plan.

    JRod > Zaha?
    Or keep Rodriguez?
    Have DCL and double everton is feeling a bit much

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same conundrum. Need to lose one to upgrade to Rash or Fernandes.

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Might keep Zaha for a bit and then swap to James if Everton pick up again.

  15. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with Saïss?

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

      He’s a sell

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        to Kilman?

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

          Probably not, look at fixtures

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            what side would you suggest?

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

              Whu and Avl the obvious 2

              1. Gabbiadini
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                cheers.

    2. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Resented fit one week?

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sell him.

  16. R.C
    • 6 Years

    Wilfred is not on pens

    Mili is on pens

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mili is banned.

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

      Mili is suspended

      Zaha is not suspended

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bats on pens then 😀

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          U havent been focusing then

        2. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Do you even fantasy football?

    3. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Suspended after his red

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      PVA could likely take them

  17. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who to get rid of first?

    A) Saiss
    B) Mitchell

    And for who?

    0.3 in the bank

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

      Saiss for sure, to a WHU def

    2. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss not going to start going forwards?

    3. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A - I think Mitchell could return to the starting line up

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss -> PVA/Coufal

      If Cahill's back for Palace I think PVA will do well in the next 4 games. I really want him, but I think it might hinder me in a few weeks when I need a little bit of cash...

      1. Sloopy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have PVA. 1 point in the last 3 games. But not selling.

    5. RamaJama

  18. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years

    Have been thinking to upgrade Barnes mostly so far but Barnes/Saiss to Bowen/Chilwell looks quite good

  19. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone rage transferring our Guaita?

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

      Would be silly look at their next 4

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm too cool headed this season.. can't with fixtures. Hate his guts though

  20. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would u give up 30 points for an extra 1m itb?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No, I'd just be 0.1 short of my new ideal move

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, can always get a good team out and would take points over team value any day

  21. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Looking ahead to GW9 I am seriously considering benching Robbo (City A) for Lamptey (Burnley H).

    Sensible move or nuts?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nuts. Burnley will win 3-0 and Lamptey YC. Brighton don't keep cleans

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      See the logic but i will play him

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

      Robbo v Walker I know who wins...

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That’s the right decision

    5. vicsta
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nuts. Lamptey's got me bugger all points in the weeks I've had him including games against wba and cpl.

  22. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    In GW10 who would you get rid for KDB and who would you sell to raise 2.0m?

    Sell - a) Son, b) Rashford
    Fund - 1) Robbo, 2) Ings

    1. Sean
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doing 1a

  23. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have two ft's for next gameweek. Should I get Bowen for a one GW punt or bank on the transfer?

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

      Bowen if not using the transfer

  24. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Villa to get a penalty tomorrow and finally put to rest who’s on them

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

      If it's not Grealish then McCarthy better save it

  25. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rodriguez to Zaha. Yey or ney (sorry for asking again)

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

      No unless Rodriguez is out again

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      JRod has 3 great fixtures in 9, 10 and 11 so not too sure on that one.

    3. Von Lipwig

  26. Jinswick

    Missed the deadline, so relying on Lamptey & Bissouma to perform a miracle this week

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Very possible, he got an assist against Chelsea and United. Seems to like the big games. More space for him.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lamptey that is, Bissouma's getting 1-2pts 😉

  27. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    37 minutes left, Foden and Sterling have a very good chance of starting I hope

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

      1 hour 37 minutes 😛

      I wish it was 37 though..

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This

  28. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas here? Thinking of a mini WC along the lines of:

    Trent/Foden/Jimenez -> Coufal/Bruno/Werner (-4)

    McCarthy
    Trent, Bellerin, Lamptey
    Salah, Son, Foden, Barkley
    Kane, Jiménez, Antonio

    Steer, Holding, Mitchell, Bissouma
    Bank 2.0m, 2FTs

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure Werner is worth it personally...

      Jimenez/Bissouma -> Brewster/Bruno?

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

      Maybe just do the first 2 and Jimenez to Werner/Ings the week after?
      No need to take the hit I guess

    Looks like Chilwell and Reece James will start

  30. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saiss replacement for Max 5.4?

    A) Cancelo
    B) Cresswell
    C) Pva
    D) Kilman
    E) Other
