Kane, Fernandes or De Bruyne: Which premium FPL asset to own for Gameweek 9

Happy International Break everyone. Are you feeling glad that it’s here, with the opportunity to rest and recuperate from all the madness? Or are you longing for more football to sink your teeth into?

I feel as though Gameweeks 9 and 10 are crucial weeks in all of our seasons. Looking at the Season Ticker, there’s some huge swings in terms of difficulty, Manchester City soaring to the top with, debatably, the three best home games imaginable from both an attacking and defensive perspective. 

Manchester United also emerge from a difficult run of games to host West Brom – before facing three out of four games away from home where they have, up until now at least, looked better than under the lights of Old Trafford.

Tottenham on the other hand sink to the bottom of the ticker, with Wolves also set to face three tough teams – and a local derby against in-form Villa to boot.

    WC team:

    Martinez, Forster

    Chilwell, Cancelo, Coufal, Lamptey, 3.9
    Sterling, Grealish, Ziyech, Salah, Bruno
    Bamford, Watkins, Brewster

    0.3 ITB any suggestions to improve my team? Plan is sterling to be my diff (C) 10,11,13 weeks.

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

      No issues. Prefer 343 myself.

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

      Don’t like playing Cancelo every week with rotation risk so would get Barkley or Bamford and formation switch

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

        352 ignore then

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

      no Everton player, they have Fulham?

    4. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer sterling over KDB??

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

    Need to get rid of Kane or Son this week to afford Bruno, which to keep?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Out the two. Kane definitely

  3. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anything you would change with this team?

    McCarthy
    Cancelo - Chilwell - Killman - Coufal - Mitchell
    Salah - KDB - Grealish - Ziyech - Soucek
    Vardy - Kane - Brewster

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

      I'd go fodder instead of Soucek, and cheapie instead of Cancelo. And then upgrade Brewster to Bamford.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate. Leeds fixtures the only thing putting me off Bambam for now but I like it!

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

          They played Liverpool with VVD and made a hat load of chances. Their system always makes chances. Like a machine.

          1. Andy Mac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            They are a bit fixture proof in attack tbf... Would really like him but also like Cancelo’s fixtures so may wait and if he starts to get rotated with Mendy will probably do the switch. Cheers pal!

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

              Sounds like a great plan. Cancelo could consistently get points with their fixtures.

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

      No 6m strikers? I think you’re missing out on some serious value

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

    Time time time... What time do price changes happen?

    Feels like it's earlier than it used to be.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      52 minutes from now

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Normally between 1-2am

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

      Thank you. I always hesitate, then miss it, then end up doing the same move!!!

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Go for it then!! 🙂

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

          Ha. Will do. Or maybe not. Yeh, probably won't. HELLLLPPPP!!!! 😉

  5. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech or Fernandes??

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one. Ideally both but bruno nicks it as has more routes to points

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cannot make up my mind on this:
    A. Keep Son
    B. Son > Rashford
    C. Son > Ziyech
    Have Kane and Werner and no MUN asset

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C probably but B could haul....

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

      Can you downgrade somewhere to get Bruno?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not without hits

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

          I just think for Man Utd cover, Bruno is relentless. I'd probably -4 if in a healthy position, or wait a week and do 2 transfers for him.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Either Son Zaha > Bruno Barkley (-4) or Son Kane > Bruno Jesus/Richarlison (-4); not so keen as I think Rashford Zaha GW9 and Kane > Vardy GW10 with no hit will edge those

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

              Whatever you do, I think Kane is essential. The man never stops scoring and is a penalty machine.

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

    Ziyech price to rise?...on 100.1 on fplstatistics.

    What do you think?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you need the 0.1?

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

        Possibly not, but it bothers me A LOT!!!!

        1. Andy Mac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Me too!! Hate paying over the odds! If you want him, I would do it. He’s going to rise at some point over next couple of days anyway so save yourself the pain!

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

            It's the smart thing to do, which means there's only a 50% chance I actually do it! 🙂

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

      he plays a couple of times over IB, he could pick up an injury or come off the bench first game because it's Lampard
      0.1m is nothing in the scheme of things
      he's firmly on my radar too but think I'll wait

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

        And now I've moved my finger away form the make transfer button! 🙂

        I think he's got to be essential for Chelsea right now as no one plays the right side anywhere near as well for them. BUT international break injury, tiredness could change that.

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

          I think you mean important not essential 🙂

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

            Yes, important I guess. He's certainly had a substantial impact on the threat from the right wing. So much so, it would be a surprise if Lampard were to bench him.

  8. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jesus gotta be a great pick if you don’t have funds for KDB surely?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely I am on him

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

      Never seems to get more than 1 goal. That's the only thing.

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

    Do you worry about value you've built up in a player, if you need to backtrack?

    For instance I'm thinking of ditching Son but will cost me 0.3 extra to buy him back, and as all my rivals have him I may want to if he hits form despite fixtures.

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

      it definitely comes into play but you can't let that hold you back from shipping if you think others will get more points over that time. Same goes for Kane and DCL

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

      I guess, but on the other hand, in a mini league, matching key players can give reduced risk, if things are tight.

      Things is, inevitably I want to change! You only live once and all that!

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

      The game is about points not team value. Jump on players you think will score the most points. Don’t worry about how much value you lose by shipping someone out for someone else who will score more.

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

        A great point. If you get it right moving players around can bring great rewards. There is some sense to having a core group of players consistent with your rivals though. The tension between these 2 things fries my brain!

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you think the player coming inn will score higher i would not Brother. But depends on strategy and how you play the game.

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

        Yep, that's the tension. I do think the player coming in will score more, but I know I could be wrong about it and need to get back on the previous train.

        Switching from Spurs to players about now is an example of this. It seems to make sense to do it but they might continue to return and getting back together them could be an issue.

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If it meant being able to afford Son to Bruno pre deadline would you switch TAA to Cancelo now pre possible price drop for TAA? Or wait and get Cresswell or Coufal instead nearer deadline?

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

      price drops are always annoying but a given with trent since he's injured. comes down to who you want more - city or west ham defence? If city, do it now

  11. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I’ve finally cracked it!

    All subject to Telles playing and looking decent but thoughts on this for a GW10 squad pls....

    Martinez
    Chilwell - Cancelo - Telles - Killman - Neco
    Salah - KDB - Ziyech - Grealish - Soucek
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’d rather have 2 x 4.5ish than Telles and Nico.

      Coufal & Lamptey specifically.

      Also, no need to go Soucek as your 8th attacker. Save yourself the benching headache and invest elsewhere

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers gaffa. My thinking is - Neco is 3.9 bench fodder so bonus if he plays a few weeks with TAA out. Telles rotates really well with kilman. Soucek and Bamford will rotate when needed and gives me a solid bench.

  12. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pick one each

    TAA to:

    A) Chilwell
    B) Robertson
    C) Cancelo

    1) Son to KDB
    2) Kane to Werner

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell comfortably.

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A1

    3. Ojpsan1
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, ill just ship TAA for chilwell before the price drop then

  13. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    TAA > Cancelo done.

    Save the Son > Bruno transfer for closer to deadline and hope all players come back from IB Covid free and without injury

  14. jia you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The value thing is funny, I sold Son this week and Hames a couple of weeks ago.
    Which way to look at it?
    A. I lost 0.6 in TV selling them
    B. I made 0.6 in proper value selling them.
    (I might be biased but I much prefer B)

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Economics will say b.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fine line between points and pounds, and if you dont gain points by doing it and buy back later for higher then it is another calculation scenario. But the pure selling is dermed by economics to be gain not loss

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Deemed..

  15. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy
    Chilwell, Coufal, Targett
    Salah, Bruno(c), Ziyech, JRod, Grealish
    DCL, Kane

    How is this looking for gw9 ?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Excellent!

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

        Thanks mate!

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      ...now that's a cracking looking team for GW9! GL!

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you Jia!

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          very similar front 7 apart from your Hames to my Watkins... hope we smash it mate as I took a -8 to bring in Salah, Bruno and Ziyech for Sterling, Son and Foden!

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Good luck to you too mate!

          2. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            You sold Sterling for a hit? Holy moly.

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              honestly watching him in recent GWs has annoyed the hell out of me and I believe Salah outscores him during City's good run (especially with Jesus back and chance of a rest)

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Purple patch of fixtures after spurs.

                1. jia you
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  still prefer Salah (-4) over that run...think I'll go Cityless unless they get back somewhat close to their best at least

                  1. FC Hakkebøf
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Very risky.. Personally getting in city from GW11

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

      when you put it like that the 5 strong midfield is hard to ignore!

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I am planning to go Salah, Sterling, Bruno, Ziyech, Grealish for gw10

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How many hits?

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        One

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        And City plan? Expecting you do Kane to Vardy next and then Bruno to KDB the following week or?

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          No, Kane to Watkins, JRod to Sterling and Branthwaite to Cancelo. That's the plan.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Sounds like a lot of hits

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Unless you do it over three game weeks ofc

            2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I will see. But Cancelo and Sterling vs Burnley could easily cover -8

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Burnley back to full strength defensively. I do not think it's worth a -8 at all. If your lucky it might even out tho

                1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  If not in gw10 it would pay out in long term. Thanks for your opinion mate!

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

                  Burnley tend to get destroyed against City even when their defence is at full strength and at their best form though.

                  1. FC Hakkebøf
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    True actually... A -8 still risky though as the players he sell / don't play could haul as well

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

                      Yeah I agree, -8 is always risky unless you are getting rid of injured players etc.

  16. jia you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I make random transfers every season... looking at Bellerin (who I got in last GW) in my team, I'm thinking why on Earth did I do that!
    Despite him somewhat passing the eye test in the WB position, Chilwell was a far better pick!

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Investing in Arsenal or Utd is always tricky

  17. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hey guys, thoughts on what to do?
    I'm quite stuck... whether to go Son or Kane out or keep them?

    2FT and 0.2M itb...

      Always a big anti-climax when Wood goes down...

        Worse when Wood doesn't rise in the first place.

    Apparently Croatia only realised that one of their players had a positive test for COVID at half time during their match against Turkey tonight and subbed him off after playing the 1st half.

    With the standards of testing at internationals, unfortunately it looks like we can expect a lot more infections among players in the internationals.

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      PCR tests are a joke tbf

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

      Under and Tosun were the only PL players on the pitch. Kovacic among the subs for Croatia.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What a joke. Honestly. How hard can it be to following protocol?

  23. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years

    Son, kane -> bruno, jesus is a good move? Kane is in good form but fixtures

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jesus not nailed.

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

        Hmm then think about kdb instead of bruno but costly to get

  24. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    1.8m ITB. Which move do your prefer of these for a -4?
    Probably KDB in the week after.
    1. Son-> Fernandes.
    2. Jimenez -> Richarlison (punt), Bamford, Watkins.

    Barkley, Salah, Grealish, _______.
    Kane, DCL, ______.

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

      You planning to sell Bruno for KDB after 1 week?

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay + Son -> Watkins + Bruno -4?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Next week maybe.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Next week is Vardy -> Kane. Taking a few hits over the next couple weeks is inevitable due to fixture swings. Also got Saiss in my team that needs to go etc

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I mean after internationals.

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

      Depends how you think Fernandes will do v WBA.

      I am considering him in for Son for a hit too but then realise I may want KDB right away after so not sure its worth it for 1 game or so. WBA will sit deep and may nake it tough for United to break them down.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        GW9: Maupay + Son to Watkins + Bruno (Captain Bruno)
        GW10: Kane + Saiss -> Vardy + Coufal (Captain Vardy)
        GW11: Bruno to KDB (Captain KDB)

        I reckon a -8 is worth it due to a new (differential) Captain each week.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          yip do it

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But yeah.. Not quite sure what to expecting from WBA defensively nor United offensively. Crazy season

    Thoughts here?

    A: Jimi -> Jesus
    B: Havertz -> KDB/Sterling/Bruno
    B: Jimi + Podence -> Jesus + Zaha/Ziyech -4
    C: Jimi + Havertz -> Jesus + KDB/Sterling/Bruno -4

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

      B- with KDB

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

        Cheers. It's a tough one!

        I'm liking the idea of KDB + Jesus though given cities run after Spurs.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Aguero? Rotation?

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

            What's the go with Aguero? Jesus seems a solid starter atm

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              When Aguero is back I reckon he will be first choice

  27. Mile Plankton
    • 11 Years

    Is Bruno worth 1m over Rushford?

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

      Easily

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Always aim for the talisman of a team.. KDB, Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Zaha, Kane, Auba, Antonio etc etc.

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

        Who do you reckon is Chelsea's talisman?

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

          Chilwell, Werner I think

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Very hard to say atm. Prolly Werner or Ziyech. If Pulisic gets back to his best then prolly him

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

          Ziyech

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

    Midfield:
    Salah Mane Ziyech Bowen

    A. Bowen > Grealish for a -4?

    Planning to change Mane to KDB the following gw

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you already have Salah then why not

  29. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A -8 to get pretty much the same team as the wildcard template (with a few tweaks) over three weeks is not too bad is it?

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

      It's not bad, but those plans often get derailed.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        They do. Especially during these times. Wildcards get derailed too though.

  30. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why are people still dumping Liverpool fullbacks? After Leicester, their schedule is very nice

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bad team value is my best bet.. TAA is injured.. Too expensive to keep imo. I did TAA to Robbo with 1. Not sure if I am going to regret. Hopefully Cancelo will be rotated with Zinchenko, Mendy or Ake. I reckon Ake could get the nod vs Burnley due to his aerial abilities

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        TAA back after the break and Ake has been injured in the NL friendly

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Did not know that. Source?

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I mean the TAA part

              1. The Big Fella
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Ah got you, sorry! I can't remember where I read that now but it was immediately after the match or the day after. With more information that estimate may have changed but I doubt it given he is still just "yellow" on the game.

                1. FC Hakkebøf
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  As written below Liverpool Echo thinks he is out untill at least december 9. FPL towers usually don't put red flag on players untill it is confirmed that a player will miss a match. Guess we will get more information closer to deadline. He might drop 0.2 by then though

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          liverpoolecho seem to think he is out at least untill december 9

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

        Ake is now injured so may well not be fit for next GW

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Was it a bad one? More than three weeks to recover...

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

      Nice fixtures or not, their defence is completely destroyed with injuries and there’s no value in them anymore as the fullbacks are being more cautious going forward

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You tend to talk as if you what is going to happen. Do you have a magic eight ball? FPL ID? You must have an amazing FPL history

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

          It’s called logical thinking, and yes I’m confident that it’ll happen. I will bet my fpl history is better than yours, 10k and 23k last 2 seasons

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            13K, 17K and 38k. And I actually got my team linked in my profile unlike you.

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years

              Whoops just checked. Top 15k, 18k and 39k. My bad

                Hahaha fair play. Wouldnt say you did better than me though I’ve got that 10k finish 😉

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      In current defensive form, I doubt they would keep many CSs plus their is need of cash in attack

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I honestly feel people will be scrambling to get them back in again in a couple of GWs

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Fingers crossed. I am a Liverpool fan so a bit biased
