Scout Notes

‘Form versus fixtures’ poser for Son and Kane’s owners after late Spurs win

WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0-1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

  • Goals: Harry Kane (£11.0m)
  • Assists: Matt Doherty (£5.8m)
  • Bonus: Kane, Doherty x3, Sergio Reguilon (£5.6m) x1

Harry Kane’s (£11.0m) owners will remember his late header that briefly sent Tottenham Hotspur top of the table but it was an otherwise forgettable match at the Hawthorns that had looked destined for 0-0 mediocrity.

Spurs were unconvincing in this Sunday lunchtime clash – a combination of tiredness from their midweek Europa League trip to Bulgaria and a resilient West Brom who were unlucky to have a point cruelly snatched away.

Reflecting on the game, Jose Mourinho said:

It was one of those matches with all the ingredients to lose a couple of points – difficult opponents, they want to stop you, they analyse you, they see where you are strong, they try to close every possible door, and they did it.

Kane was quiet but all he needed was an 88th-minute cross by Matt Doherty (£5.8m), rising to head the Irishman’s delivery home.

That was the England striker’s eighth goal from as many matches against the Baggies and his 150th Premier League strike overall, maintaining Spurs’ 100% away record.

KANE IS ABLE

Over two million FPL managers captained Kane this week, no doubt expecting another haul after Spurs’ previous three away wins produced a combined 12-3 score. But things were much tougher here against a side fighting to escape the relegation zone.

For all the comments about Kane essentially playing as a midfielder, he still provides the goals to go alongside his new-found creativity. The two assists of last season have already been eclipsed by eight this time and he entered the weekend with a number of chances created (14) and big chances created (9) far higher than the next best from a forward.

Similar to how Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) acts like a false nine for Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) and Sadio Mane (£12.0m) to play as two forwards, Kane was seemingly sitting deep for a Son Heung-min (£9.6m) and Gareth Bale (£9.5m) strike force. Yet it is the England captain who takes home the points, while Son disappointed many by not continuing his streak of double-digit away hauls.

SON STOPS SHINING

Clearly, it isn’t maintainable to get 24, 18 or 11 points every time but Son missed a huge chance in the first half. Put through by Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m), Son seemed hesitant to pull the trigger as West Brom defenders sprinted back to catch up. He eventually dug out a shot but it missed.

A second successive blank will concern his 60% ownership, especially considering the fixture swing that now awaits Jose Mourinho’s side.

Their first six games after the international break include meetings with Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Leicester City. In a classic FPL debate about form versus fixtures, what will the many who have doubled up on both Kane and Son do about this difficult run? Particularly when premium assets at Manchester City and Manchester United are about to begin a kind run.

Neither player is at fault, as they sit atop the FPL game as highest scorers so far. They have accumulated 15 goals and 10 assists between them from only eight matches – truly phenomenal numbers. In a crazy season which has produced huge shocks, great comebacks, many goals and little sense, perhaps it is too logical to assume that Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m), Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) or Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) are the way forward.

The team news was headlined by Bale starting his first league match since returning to Spurs on loan from Real Madrid. Against Brighton, he came off the bench to score a late winner – such drama is becoming a habit in recent weeks, replacing the heavy wins of before – and was deemed ready to form a fearsome front three alongside Kane and Son. In truth, he was ineffective, almost reaching a cross early in the second half but producing nothing else.

REGUILON CONTINUES TO ATTACK

Only left-back Sergio Reguilon (£5.6m) was providing any attacking threat as the match dragged on. Long-range shots in the 59th minute were saved and then blazed over, with a later effort being blocked into the path of Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m). Had the substitute scored, it would have been Reguilon’s third assist from five league appearances.

In addition to a clean sheet, Reguilon certainly passed the eye test – crossing for Carlos Vinicius’ (£7.0m) low left-footed shot that produced a wonderful save from Sam Johnstone (£4.5m). And yet it was Doherty on the other flank who provided Kane’s assist.

The £15m signing from Wolves was initially heavily-backed by the FPL community but has gradually been abandoned, dropping twice in price because he had registered no attacking returns and was rotated twice with Serge Aurier (£5.2m).

WINLESS BAGGIES

In his programme notes, the under-pressure Slaven Bilic demanded that his players be “more streetwise, more mature and dirty in the game”. He got what he asked for, with West Brom arguably the better side for most of the match.

The Baggies boss said after full-time:

My message to the players was that this has to be our standard now. We have to perform like this in every minute of every game as a minimum. It’s really difficult to take confidence from a defeat because the best way to get confidence is to win games and climb up the league. But you can also get confidence from performances and today was an example of that.

Bilic was forced into making changes to his side after Matheus Pereira (£5.9m) and Branislav Ivanovic (£4.5m) tested positive for coronavirus. He used this opportunity to switch systems, going for a 5-4-1 wing-back formation with the returning Kyle Bartley (£4.5m) and Dara O’Shea (£4.3m) featuring at centre-half.

Karlan Grant (£5.9m) somehow missed a free header from six yards after a brilliant Darnell Furlong (£4.5m) cross, before a teasing Callum Robinson (£5.5m) delivery dropped over Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) and was headed off the line by Eric Dier (£4.9m). The second half saw Conor Gallagher (£5.5m) hit the post from distance and Furlong’s header force an acrobatic save from Lloris.

However, they are still without a win. Apart from back-up goalkeeper David Button (£4.0m), no West Brom player has ownership above 2%. Their players are relatively untouched but, if looking for a differential, it might be worth considering that their next home games are against Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Leeds.

The Baggies have been better at the back of late than they have going forward and Johnstone is one of the cheapest starting goalkeepers out there, sitting third for saves among top-flight shot-stoppers.

Given Aston Villa’s favourable schedule, Emiliano Martinez (£4.8m) will, however, remain the go-to option for many.


West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; Furlong, Bartley, Ajayi, O’Shea, Townsend; Krovinovic, Livermore (Edwards 89′), Gallagher, Robinson (Diangana 67′); Grant (Phillips 84′).

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-3): Lloris; Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele (Lo Celso 64′), Sissoko (Carlos Vinicius 79′); Bale (Lucas Moura 78′), Son, Kane.

    Cancelo or Dias?

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

      Cancelo for me. Looked great today.

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

      Cancelo

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

      I'm looking to get Cancelo in myself.

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dias for me. Cancelo seems like a Reece James: will be super good option if he starts, but youre always going to worry about a 15 min cameo

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        So Cancelo isn't nailed on?

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Zinchenko, Mendy, Ake

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not really. Mendy is due back next game (Spurs away) and you'd imagine Cancelo would start that but then for their home games after (Burnley and Fulham) you would surely expect Mendy to start one of those? Worth noting Mendy started the first 3 games of the season and Cancelo only came in because Mendy got injured.

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He's clearly the best at LB currently. Mendy had a disaster show and is never fully fit and ZInch isn't on his level

          Yea there's a slight risk but probably worth it for the attacking possiblities. Dias is solid at rcb

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

      Cancelo I guess.

    6. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo easy

  2. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Foden --> Grealish a bad transfer if it means a hit down the line to get KDB or Bruno (probably at the expense of Kane, Son or Werner)

    Front 8 as follows:

    Salah - Son - Ziyech - Foden - Burke
    Kane - Werner - DCL

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden > Grealish is so easy to do. Definitely make that move.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i alluded to this earlier and you mentioned that KDB and Bruno are decent options. Thing is I know i want them down the road, do i plan to get them in with minimum hits or just feck it and go for the clear value option of grealish. Jack just looks so good

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Just get Grealish. He has form, he has fixtures, he has value. Plan to get those other guys some other way.

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            yeah im over complicating it arent i?

            just makes KDB and Bruno so much harder to get.

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              No it doesn't.

              Werner + Son/Ziyech > KdB + Watkins will work just fine.

              You will have to lose some of those guys if you want KdB or Bruno no matter what. I consider: Salah, DCL and Grealish as core holds because they have value, good fixtures and good form.

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't say so. Who's to say you'll even still want KDB/Bruno after next week.

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

      Foden to Grealish makes perfect sense.

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son and Foden to Grealish and Bruno are great moves, can be done over two GWs if you want to avoid the hit but it will pay in the long run if you need the transfers for other issues.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Its either Son to Bruno, or Foden to Grealish, cant be both. Thats my dilemma as my money itb allows me to upgrade, but not across both players. Was thinking could downgrade Foden to Soucek and get KDB for Son even

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

      No because it's not a short term move and I think Grealish will pay those 4 points back with interest over Foden.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldnt even need a hit to get in Grealish, but would have to give up Werner/Kane and Son on top to fund in KDB or Bruno

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

      Grealish is so good value, a must have imo.

  3. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    2FT 0.1M ITB WC Available

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Zouma Justin (Mitchell Taylor)
    Salah Son Sterling ASM (Bissouma)
    Werner DCL Watkins

    A) Son & TAA > Bruno & Chilwell (double up with Zouma) seems a decent move here before GW10 WC?
    B) Could upgrade ASM to Grealish, but would mean Cresswell/Cancelo over Chillwell

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A sounds good, no need to WC.

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

      Both options look good.

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Just watch Son bag a hat trick vs Man City as everyone transfers him out.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Most people aren't getting rid of Son this week. It's next week that he might lose owners especially if he blanks.

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's almost better to have players against better teams who attack this season

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

    Hi guys! Since I wildcarded in GW5, my season finally seems to be heading in the right direction. Up from 3.7m in GW4 to 1.4m now. A lot of work to do to keep climbing up the rankings though. I'd appreciate any help and views on my team. Cheers! 🙂

    2 FTs, £1.4

    McCarthy (Adrian)
    Chilwell Coufal Konsa (Kilman) (Mitchell)
    Salah Son Hamez Grealish (Podence)
    Kane DCL Wilson

    Atm I'm considering to bring either Bruno or Ziyech in midfield. It can be a direct swap from Son to Bruno/Ziyech or a Wilson downgrade to enable the upgrade from Podence to Ziyech.

  6. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking I should use the WC due to the fixture swing, even though I’ve had a good GW.

  7. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    At this stage, which move looks better please? 0.5mitb

    A....taa and son to cancelo and bruno (c) - 4

    B......son to grealish (double villa attack). Plus taa to cancelo- 4 if he is out.

    Martinez
    Taa Chilwell James lamptey Mitchell
    Salah son ziyech Foden burke
    Kane dcl watkins

    Thanks

  8. Marcin the Pole
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So Villa have swung me tonight. Would you do Podence + Mitro -> Grealish + Watkins (-4), or just one of the moves? Or indeed Ziyech over Grealish?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I’d do ziyech and Watkins, don’t like the double villa tbh

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

      One more is enough ; they can't possibly play a team as bad as Arsenal were tonight any time soon . . .I mean like the Liverpool game it was a totally abnormal situation. Tiredness from midweek or not . . . Villa were decent but Arsenal were horrific.

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Podence, Foden, Jiminez, Saiss to autopick? -8.

    Pull the trigger now or stare at the shower of sh*te in my team for 2 more weeks?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Go for it

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haha, bad situation man. Keep Jimmy for another week, but wouldn't be averse to losing those 3 for a hit.

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

      the latter. its lockdown after all. not much else to do

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can someone tell me why is Grealish a better pick than Watkins?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He’s a better player, will create more and will score goals. Watkins however will get his fair share and is on pens. Both look great for there run of fixtures.

    2. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More consistent. Everything goes through Grealish. And pens.
      Watkins decent option but lots chasing points switching between him and Bamford.

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

      Because you can get Bamford/Wilson/Antonio for 6ish.

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He is the Bruno and KDB of Villa. simple as. Same as asking why Bruno is a better pick than Rashford/Martial or KDB better than Jesus

    5. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers everyone

  11. Niho992

    Any wildcarders in GW 10?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Going this week instead

    2. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If I don’t this week, probably

    3. Ghost86
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Initial plan was 10 but the team have a few injuries.

      I like the fixtures from 10 better

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

    Best def to replace Totally Ad Anough! (TAA)

    A - Lamptey
    B - Kilman
    C - Kwp
    D - Coufal

    Thanks

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal

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

      A/B/C are all good options. Might be worth looking at the fixtures of your current defenders and get one in who rotates well with them.

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

        Zouma, Chillwell, Justin, dead.

  13. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Finally pull trigger on TAA to Chilwell (rising again tonight), or wait for injury news?

    McCarthy
    TAA Justin Konsa
    Salah Son Bruno Grealish Soucek
    Werner DCL

    Brewster KWP Mitchell

    1. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same dilemma here. Think I'll do it as my TV is poor and pretty sure ill do the move anyway

  14. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do you happen to know if Watkins will rise tonight?

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Unlikely.

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

      Unlikely

  15. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    On WC:

    A) Martial
    B) Jimenez

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

      Neither

    2. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Neither!
      DCL,Watkins,Werner,Wilson better options IMO

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

        Have DCL and Watkins. Can't afford Werner and Wilson injury doubt.

    3. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Neither, steer well clear I would suggest.

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      DCL, Watkins, Werner

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

        Have the first 2,Werner I can't afford

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Are you high?

    6. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      None. What menu are you looking at?

    7. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is martial even nailed to start anymore?

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

      Great feedback :p. Martial it is.

    9. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly neither.

  16. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Considering my move for Bruno:
    (A) Son to Bruno +1FT
    (B) Kane+Podence to Watkins+Bruno +1.0ITB
    (C) Wildcard and also get KDB, Hamez, Cancelo/AWB

    Leno/Steer
    Chilwell Semedo KWP
    Salah Rashford Son Grealish Podence
    Kane DCL
    (Brewster Justin Mitchell)

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

      A or B. Both good moves.

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

      Will probably be doing A myself

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

    Would you do...

    Robbo & DCL to Targett and Kane
    or not with spurs fixtures?

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

      Too late for Kane imo.

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably wouldn’t be transferring Kane in to be honest, probably go with vardy at that price point.

      I’ve got Kane and might hold, but have a lot of value tied up in him

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Deffo not, just Robbo out.

    4. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Targett and DCL the best options going forward

  18. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Am I being paranoid not wanting to take Kane out? Feel he can haul against anyone and no defences are rock solid.

    Prefer taking son out if any.

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

      Doing same fwiw.

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

      I'll keep him for GW9 and see what happens.

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

      Im capping Kane vs City personally, punty as

      Same. Especially vs team like City. I feel Son and him going to haul

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

      Son out over Kane seems like a pretty easy choice to me

    6. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same here

    7. Begbie.

      No, you're being sensible. He's the highest score in the game. No idea why the hivemind is starting to shift towards selling.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        80 points from 8 weeks is actually insane

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

      Selling Son I can understand, not Kane.

  19. CelticBhoy1

    Son > J Rod?

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

      Not for me. I'd keep Son. He's always good against City's high line. If you must sell then I'd look at Ziyech or Grealish before I went Hamez tbh.

  20. g40steve

    Any changes?

    Best C Salah, DCL or Grealish?

    Martinez
    Coufal, Chilwell, Robbo
    Grealish, Salah C, Zaha, Son
    DCL, Kane, Bamford

    Forster, Zouma, Lamptey, Podence

    1FT .5

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah captain

      I’m looking at a hit to get fernandes (c)

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

      Some bench you've got there. If in doubt, captain Salah.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Too many good value cheap options firing at present.
        With Covid need a good bench & team value helping.

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

    Guys would you wildcard this...

    Martinez McCarthy
    TAA Mitchell Zouma KWP Taylor
    Salah Son Barkley Jota Bruno
    Kane Mitro Brewster

    1FT 0.1ITB

    Or just do Mitrovic to Adams tonight before I'm priced out of it.

    With the International break upon us will you:
    A) wait for the transfer/s due to injury risks
    B) price swings etc make you do quick transfer/s and risk it

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you have your moves planned with spare cash then wait. If not either make the move or make a plan B.

    Will you WC this team ?

    McCarthy Nyland*

      • 8 Years

      I've just WCarded a similar team and feel better for it. Only 6 more GWs left to use it, now is as good a time as any

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably a yes. Do you have 2FT or just the one?

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

    Son > Bruno will be like 90% of the transfers on here. 😀

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son >Rashy here

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

      I have a horrible feeling it could backfire

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Seems like a decent move, no need to over complicate sometimes.

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He’s the obvious captaincy choice for next gw so makes sense

      West Brom were stubborn against spurs though.

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

    Which 2 would you provisionally look to start next gameweek (at least one of the defenders)?

    A) Dallas
    B) Kilman
    C) Soucek
    D) Brewster

    Thanks

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

      Mitchell could be an option too if he’s back though probably risky given he could have lost place in the XI

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      BC

    3. caldracula

      BC

      1. Big boy Bowen

        Thanks both

    is 64 a good score?

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

      high average

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

      Better than average so yes

  27. School of Poch

    Rate my WC team

    Martinez Forster
    Chilwell Justin Coufal KWP Lamptey
    Salah Bruno Grealish Zaha Bissouma
    Werner DCL Watkins

    2.0ITB to do Werner > Vardy and Bruno > KDB from GW10/11

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years

      Nice team. Like it.

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

      Very good, pretty much same as my team.

  28. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really struggling to pick a captain for the next GW....

    Feel like I need Bruno but will have to take a hit to get him in and that involves getting rid of both Son and Jimi

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

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

    what to do with t.mitchell? already have kilman.

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

      Nothing, wait I think. Such a low profile move unless you have significant money ITB

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

        0.8 so could upgrade. wasn't sure on injury, cheers.

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

          See where you are at in a couple of weeks with your team

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is he out for long time?

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

      Two bench fodders though ?

  30. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson or Watkins?

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

      Watkins

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

      You’ll only get one answer here

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson last week, Watkins this week, who knows next week

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

      Wilson could be injured?

      Watkins probably even so. Fixtures are just as good if not better and he's also on pens. And cheaper.
