Cancelo stars for City as Sheff Utd’s weak right-side bodes well for Chelsea

Sheff Utd 0-1 Man City

  • Goals: Kyle Walker (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m)
  • Bonus points: Walker x3, João Cancelo x2 (£5.4m), Aymeric Laporte x1 (£6.0m)

CANCELO CULTURE

João Cancelo (£5.4m) is fast-becoming the key Manchester City defender ahead of their fixture swing in Gameweek 10 as he starred in a 1-0 win over Sheffield United.

While Kyle Walker (£6.0m) emerged with a 15-point haul, thanks to his spectacular first-half goal, it was Pep Guardiola’s left-back who suggested more sustainable output.

Since making his first Premier League start at that position in Gameweek 5, Cancelo is yet to blank, averaging seven points per game.

In that time, the Portuguese international has collected two clean sheets and, even though he has only managed to provide one assist, that has not been for lack of trying.

In the first half alone against the Blades, Cancelo created more chances than any Manchester City defender in a Premier League match since February 2012. That impressive tally was a big reason why he was able to secure two bonus points despite registering no attacking returns.

DEFENSIVE CONSISTENCY

However, Fantasy managers may still want to hold off before going all-in on Cancelo or anyone from the Manchester City defence.

They face Liverpool (home) and Spurs (away) in the next two Gameweeks, two sides that are likely to be hard to contain.

Gameweek 10 looks like the time swoop for Cancelo, with home matches against Burnley, Fulham and West Bromwich Albion between then and Gameweek 13.

Waiting until then may also help Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) and Ruben Dias (£5.5m) settle into together as a centre-back duo.

The trip to Sheffield United was only the second time this season that Guardiola has been able to start the two players but there is plenty of promise about having the two of them together.

2019/20 was a sub-standard year for the Citizens in terms of defensive returns, and their manager has already highlighted that consistency at centre-back will make a big difference this season.

“(Laporte + Dias) are both playing really well. They are guys to give us consistency. We struggle a lot last year to have two central defenders (every week). This year, we will need everyone because these amount of games it is impossible to play both every game.” – Pep Guardiola

FRIGHT RIGHT

Cancelo and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) were afforded a considerable amount of freedom on Saturday, as they made the most of Sheffield United’s weak right flank.

Between Gameweeks 1 and 6, the Blades conceded more chances down their side of the pitch than any other team in the Premier League and that trend continued at Bramall Lane.

As you can see from the match data breakdown, there was an uneven spread of opportunities given up by Chris Wilder’s men. They allowed 10 chances, of which 70% were constructed on the right-hand side.

While Sheffield United’s problems here may have helped Cancelo’s numbers, they bare more Fantasy relevance when examining the Gameweek 8 fixtures.

The Blades travel to Chelsea next weekend and, if Wilder has done little to shore up George Baldock‘s (£5.3m) side of the pitch by that point, we could see Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) and Timo Werner (£9.3m) take advantage.

FRONT AND CENTRE

Ferran Torres (£6.9m) can consider himself unfortunate not to have left Bramall Lane without some attacking returns.

Having netted as a centre-forward in the Champions League midweek, Manchester City’s number 21 was given a chance to reprise that role in Gameweek 7.

“It’s a new position for him but he did it well (against Marseilles). We have other people in the middle but the striker position is the most difficult one. He did really well and we try again.” – Pep Guardiola

Torres was the chief beneficiary of Cancelo’s marauding runs and incessant chance creation, as he had three golden chances to score during the game, Aaron Ramsdale (£4.9m) proving equal to him each time.

However, whether the £6.9m midfielder can offer long-term appeal as an out-of-position asset remains to be seen, with Gabriel Jesus (£9.3m) closing in on a return to fitness.

That should, hopefully, mean an end to Sterling having to deputise up-front as well. He was tasked with that role in the final 10 minutes of Gameweek 7 as Phil Foden (£6.6m) came on for Torres.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Stevens, Egan, Basham; Lowe (McGoldrick 81′), Osborn (Lundstram 55′), Ampadu (Norwood 65′), Berge, Baldock; Brewster, McBurnie.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, Walker; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, B Silva; Sterling, Torres (Foden 81′), Mahrez (Gündogan 85′).

    This gameweek: Saiss > Cresswell
    Next gameweek: Jimenez > Antonio (if fit) and Barkley > Rashford??

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A looks decent.
      Next week is next week

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

      Do you think Cresswell is worth the extra 0.5m over Coufal ?

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

  2. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Getting rid of TAA, Pulisic & Brewster:

    A) Coufal, Podence & Kane
    B) Coufal, Bowen & Werner
    C) Zouma, Zaha & Ings

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C but you should have Kane

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

      B by far if you have Kane but you don't so A (problem is the terrible run of fixtures for spurs)

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

      A or C for me. Could be a little bit late for Kane...

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

    How did Soucek look v Pool?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good but he's no CAM. Ridiculously over hyped.

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

        Wouldn’t say overhyped when he’s just 4.9m

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He's talked about loads. Podence or Neto for instance, are just half a mil more.

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

            Not keen on either tbf though maybe Soucek isn’t good enough to be a 7th attacker

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              yeah, agreed. Have Bissouma as 8th attacker myself. Still, good fixtures for West Ham now so let's see what he can do.

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

          £0.4m too expensive lmao.

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

      I don't think he'll get a lof of attacking returns. To me he's a £4.5 mid priced £4.9 lol.

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

        Could’ve had 2-3 goals already this season, still good value given the fixtures

  4. Ajax Hamsterdam

    was lucky with werner. hold one more week?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Would watch his mid week minutes though. Lampard was willing to rest him today.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            yep definitely. thanks

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      am looking to get him in!

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        haha ok cheers

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

      Yea
      Also propably captain for week 9

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      cheers guys. looks like the wheel might turn for werner after all 🙂

  5. Son of Alex
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A. Jimenez to Werner
    B. Barnes to Ziyech

    Which one makes sense? Or should I go for -4? Worth it?

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

      If you really want a Chelsea attacker, I'd try a punt on Ziyech. Werner doesn't tempt me at all, especially since he's more than £9m...

  6. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    is Chillwell worth the extra 0.8 over Zouma? that 0.8m might be useful, especially with Zouma seeming to be nailed and having some attacking threat

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have chilly and he's exciting to own. Don't know if he's worth 0.8 though.

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers - if i get Zouma i can afford Cresswell too, i got stung by having mitchell and saiss this week so gonna use my 2 ft to make sure i have a bit more cover, although Kilman might be the better choice for cover, but West Ham have some great defensive fixtures coming up

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'm looking at coufal possibly.

          1. SAY MY NAME
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Coufal could be a good pick, thanks

        2. sandman58
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I think coufal and chilwell are better
          Zouma won't score a goal every week

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zouma owner. Going for Chilly.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so
      He had 3 assists per season over the last two seasons

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers, i'm swaying away from expensive defenders so far this season too, 5.9 might be a bit much especially with some tricky fixtures in the medium term

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

      Another Zouma owner. Would rather Chilly long term

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i think if prices were the same i'd go chilly, but the spare cash allows for a much better mitchell replacement so i think i might have to go zouma, and sometimes just going with the highest scoring defender is a reasonable choice anyway 🙂

        cheers

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think think so. I think Zouma is most nailed to start as there's a few options that can play LB when they need to rotate due to fixtures and I don't think 36 year old Silva will play all the games

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

        Zouma LB? That’s news to me

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

          He means that Chilwell is not necessarily nailed to start 38 games as for example Azpi can play there

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

            My bad. Yeah though Chelsea have plenty of CBs to rotate with Zouma (Rudiger, Tomori etc)

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah that's what I meant when comparing Zouma with Chilwell.

      2. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

    For free...
    A. Saiss + Hamez to Zouma + Zaha
    B. Jimenez + Hamez to Bamford + Fernandez
    C. Saiss + Jimenez to Zouma + Ings

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

      C.
      Hamez isn't worth a trade.

    2. Tonyawesome69

      C

    3. MagicMessi

      B

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions on who to bring in? I'm thinking to downgrade TAA or Robbo to Coufal and use the money on Rodriguez to premium or Vassilev to Antonio

    0.4itb 2ft
    Martinez
    Robbo Ayling Justin TAA
    Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez
    DCL Kane
    (Peacock Bissouma Taylor Vassilev)

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

      trade TAA over Robbo.
      Vassilev to Bamford also would give you more $ than Antonio.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Prefer Antonio and Adams over Bamford but I'll take it into consideration.

    2. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Trent and Grealish to Chilwell and Ziyech

  9. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How confident are we in the chelsea defence double up?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      seems to me the scores are settling down a bit over last 2 x gameweeks, so maybe a few more clean sheets all round, not sure i trust Lampard in the clean sheets department but they have had 3 out of last 4, definitely 1 Chelsea, 2 might be too much, but who knows

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      V

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        V with Mendy.

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

      I think there's value in the 4.5s over a double up Chelsea.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Whom?

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

      It was Burnley.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Zouma/Chillwell have mow than cs in their locker

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

      Not with upcoming fixtures

    6. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not the brightest idea

  10. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Mitchell no longer starting now that PVA is back?
    Looking to do Mane + Brewster + Mitchell --> Werner + Ziyech + Zouma.

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No brainer

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea fan I take it.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchell is injured. I expect him start once he is back

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Still not convinced with Werner and might be a bit early with Ziyech. Zouma is a good pick

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

          I think at 7.9 you can take a punt on Ziyech, if all fails then you have an easy swap to JRod.

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

        I agree on this.

      3. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No way is he starting over PVA if both are match fit.

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

      no. Mitchell has impressed. I think he's still a chance to play.
      PVA didn't exactly play that well in a defence that shipped 2 goals.

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

        I'm living on this hope that Mitchel plays even as a CB. But probably not 🙁

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Went to right back the previous game when clyne went off.

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

            Yea and he looked good too will have to wait and see

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

              Clyne didn't exactly look that great too.

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

                I didn't think he was that bad and will probably get better if he starts but yea Mitchel is better defensively for sure

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

    Interesting to see TAA playing further forward than Robbo for the second game in a row now. The tides have turned...

    1. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I switched from TAA to Robbo two GWs ago on WC...

      I think it may depend on their opposition eg whether the greater threat is from the left or right.

      Robbo is taking more corners this year so that should equslise them a little.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Just saying I dislike defensive double ups. One goal and its twice the pain. Plusm twice the anguish when you're heading into the last ten minutes and waiting on a cleanie.It's more fun and interesting when you have different players playing in different games.

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Liverpool def double up last season would have defied this as would Wolves tbf. Burnley in the past have v successful too.
      Personally I think the double up dissuade is a myth, if a team is keeping cs no need to avoid 2 players, the same anguish can apply singularly as doubly.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not saying it can't be profitable points wise, I just find it more interesting having players from different teams.

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough, I’d agree with your logic in terms of game play but I’ve always been happy to double up when I feel it’s justified especially when a defender is capable of assists/goals.

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You need the double-up when effective ownership of that team's defence approaches 100%, at which point you gain no rank from a CS unless you have the double-up. Soon everyone will probably have a Chelsea defender and you'll need two if you really believe in them.

        Outside of this situation I'm not keen on the double-up.

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

      When they keep a CS you get double the points, when they don’t you lose double the points. It balances out over time

    Hey guys, I need some help.

    I bought Saiss at 5.1m. He’s current value is 5.3 so if I sell now I make a 0.1 profit as I’d be able to sell at 5.2.

    If he falls in price to 5.2, am I still able to sell at 5.2 or would my selling price go back to 5.1?

    Can someone also explain how this pricing system works please.

    Thanks guys

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

      If he falls you'll sell at 5.1
      You only gain value when the player price rises 0.2 difference of your selling price

      Like say if he's 5.4 you'll sell at 5.2
      But if he falls to 5.3 you'll sell at 5.1

        Purchasing price* sorry

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

      back to 5.1

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5.1

    4. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      back to 5.1, only bag half the profit, so has to be 0.2 higher for every 0.1 profit when you sell

    5. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Once he drops to 5.2 your selling price will drop to 5.1

      I got him at 5.0 so this drop won’t affect me

      You need to rises to get a .1 real profit

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        *two rises

  15. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I did Hamez to Pulisic for a hit and now I think I’ll move away from that price bracket.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The plan is to downgrade Grealish to Podence/Klich/Soucek and upgrade Pulisic to Rashford or Bruno

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i'd hold grealish, should have had returns last couple of games, and has nice run of games coming

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          +1

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

          +2

        3. MagicMessi

          +3

    2. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did that same move for a hit. it's been a troublesome 4th midfield spot which I haven't been able to nail.
      When I transfer Pulisic out, and he'll be miraculously declared fit and score a brace

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic and Saïss ➡️ Ziyech and Balbuena -4?

    Allows me to do Maupay ➡️ Martial the next week for free??

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

      Why Balbuena? Tony not an option with Cavani around either

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

        Balbuena is a beast he or Ogbonna will definitely grab a header soon

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can you get Coufal or Musuaka instead of Balbuena or you short by 0.1?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I can now get Coufal Tony dropped just there 😉

        Nice. Vest was my post deadline move for GW8. Had 1 non playing bench fodder but recent injuries had bumped that to 2... Had to make the change.

      Pulisic + Saiss ->
      A) Ziyech + Creswell
      B) Rashford + Kilman
      C) Something else

      Team:

      Martinez
      TAA Chilwell Lamptey
      Salah Son Pulisic* Grealish
      Kane DCL Maupay

    8. Viper

      How would this look with 2Fts?

      TAA & Podence -> Chilwell & Ziyech

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

        yes for me.

      2. Johan Queef
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm thinking of doing similar with TAA and Trossard. I like it. Although Podence looks a darn sight better than Tross!

        City plan?

    10. Werner Bremen

      Fornals or Bowen?

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

        Fornals for me.

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

        Bowen. Fornals is a rotation risk

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years

          After today I find that hard to believe.

    11. tafrère

      James Rodriguez likely to return next GW or is it unclear ?

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

        possibly. however, struggled against Southampton with an injury.

      1. Bushwhacker

        A

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

        A.
        Robbo should start pulling in some more points soon.

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

          It is GW 8...how long do you plan to wait?

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

            in a sense that he can't stay low for too long.

    14. I Member
      • 8 Years

      Anyone looking at Martial?

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

        nope.

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

        Hard to fit him in with Salah, KDB/Sterling, Son, Ziyech, Zaha, Ings & Robbo.

        1. Jink
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Martial is a FWD.

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

            I'm just talking in terms of salary.

      3. The Hunt

        He's soooooo passé darling.

    15. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would you start
      A) Lamptey (BUR)
      B) KWP (NEW)

      Over Grealish (ars)
      1)Yes
      2)No

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

        B
        No.

    16. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is there a huge difference in expected points between Chilwell and Zouma? I sure could use the extra for some upgrades. Unless Chilwell is a must have.
      Thanks guys

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

        Chilwell is definitely safer to pull in points if they concede, however, go Zouma if it helps you get something better.

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

          Thanks. It would just give me that extra to upgrade Mitchell, Lamptey and Cooper down the line.
          I have not been doing well. Will take 4ph to bring in Zouma, Bamford and Ziyech.

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

            ziyech and zouma just rose in price.

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

        I am trying to go for both

    17. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Who are the top 3 midfielder to have other than Salah/Mane and Son irrespective of the price?

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

        Rodriguez, Grealish...with Ziyech knocking loudly at the door.

      2. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure about top 3 but these would be my considerations.

        KDB, Sterling, Rashford, Ziyech, Grealish.

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

        KDB, Ziyech & Zaha at this moment in time.

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

        KDB, Sterling, Bruno.. can’t have them all

    18. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TAA, Podence, Jimenez out I think for a -4.
      Chilwell, Ziyech, and 1 of Antonio/Bamford/Adams coming in.
      Anything standing out?

      McCarthy.
      TAA, Robbo, Ayling.
      Salah, Barkley, Podence, Son.
      Kane, Jimenez, DCL.
      Button, Justin, Mitchell, Bissouma.
      2ft, 0.7m ITB

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

        Antonio may not be back for a couple of weeks. I was planning to get him, but will bring in Bamford instead. Am doing like you...Chilwell, Ziyech and Bamford in for 4ph. Time to get moving.

      2. abhirup780
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'd like to keep Podence. Ziyech will be a bigger rotation risk I feel. I hate to sweat over the team sheets.

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

        Dont be a noob chasing past week points
