Scout Notes

Wasteful Werner shows promising signs for FPL owners in Chelsea win

NEWCASTLE 0-2 CHELSEA

  • Goals: Federico Fernandez (£4.9m) own goal, Tammy Abraham (£7.2m)
  • Assists: Mason Mount (£6.8m), Timo Werner (£9.5m)
  • Bonus: Abraham x3, Reece James (£5.0m) x2, Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) x1

Wern your points

Abraham slots past Karl Darlow from Timo Werner’s pass

Saturday afternoon was a bittersweet watch for Timo Werner (£9.5m) owners. The German forward was heavily involved in Chelsea’s attacking display at Newcastle but only earned an assist in the 2-0 victory.

The striker had a shot on target saved by the busy Karl Darlow (£5.0m) after just three minutes.

In the 15th minute, Werner’s direct running led to him flashing a low cross right through the six-yard box, with Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) unable to reach the ball in time to convert.

Werner was then the player who failed to make contact with a Reece James (£5.0m) cross, after the right-back was set into space by a wonderful Hakim Ziyech (£8.2m) flick.

Just before the half-hour mark Werner squandered a big chance, having been set through by Abraham after Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) won the ball back near the Newcastle box.

After half time, Werner robbed the ball from substitute Fabian Schar (£4.9m), who had replaced the injured Jamaal Lascelles (£4.4m).

The German appeared caught in two minds between shooting and passing on getting into the box, with his weak attempted assist for a Ziyech tap-in cleared by the scrambling Magpies backline.

Another Chelsea break saw Abraham go for goal amid a mass of Newcastle bodies when he could have played Werner in, though the ex-Leipzig attacker did not take it to heart as he set up the England striker for Chelsea’s second.

“I always felt that the real danger moments for us could be on transition and counter-attack. Timo [Werner] showed that two or three times in the first half and he shows that for Tammy [Abraham’s] goal.” – Frank Lampard

A scintallting run from inside his own half saw Werner slip Abraham in on goal, with the £7.2m man beating Darlow with a low shot that hit the right-hand post before going in.

Despite possibly frustrating owners and those who captained him, Werner’s involvement is undoubtedly a positive for the coming Gameweeks.

“He had a couple of chances, to be fair to Timo. He was a real threat for us throughout the game. The pace in which he travelled with the ball was something special.” – Frank Lampard

Werner did put the ball in the back of the net just before being substituted but that goal – assisted by Ziyech – was correctly ruled out for offside.

Hakim down

Ziyech (left) was a constant menace for the Newcastle defence

While Werner eventually got on the ‘FPL scoresheet’, Ziyech owners had to settle for a points tally of three.

The Moroccan magician came close to an assist from a delicious whipped cross in the first half but Abraham headed straight at Darlow from close range.

Ziyech would also have had a simple finish into an open goal had Werner been able to find him in that passage of play early in the second period.

Only Mason Mount (£6.8m) made more successful passes in the final third than the former Ajax man.

It was the England midfielder who assisted Chelsea’s opener, having been slipped the ball by Werner on the right-hand side of the pitch after a short-corner routine.

Mount’s low cross was turned into the by Newcastle defender Federico Fernandez, who could not sort his feet out under pressure from Ben Chilwell (£6.0m).

Defence on the Mend

Rudiger deputised for Thiago Silva at centre-back

It is now four clean sheets in six Gameweeks for G (£5.1m) and the Chelsea defence.

Thiago Silva (£5.5m) was given Gameweek 9 off following his excursions with Brazil. Deputy Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) could hardly have asked for a better game to start in, with Newcastle offering extremely little going forward.

The form of N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), now sitting deep in Lampard’s 4-3-3, is undoubtedly of great help to Chelsea’s clean sheet potential. On the France midfielder, Lampard said:

“His levels are really high. He’s a top midfield player.”

On missing trio Christian Pulisic (£8.2m), Kai Havertz (£8.3m) and Silva, the Chelsea manager stated on Thursday:

“Christian Pulisic is not fit for Newcastle but he’s stepped up his training slowly. It’s been quite a problematic injury so we will stay cautious. Kai Havertz is back, his isolation is over. He tested negative two days ago, so he’s just started training that’s more on his own to get individually some of his fitness back after two weeks at home. Thiago Silva has just landed. He just messaged me this afternoon so he probably won’t be going to Newcastle because of the length of the journey and timings.” – Frank Lampard

Newcastle, same old story

Lascelles competes with Abraham in the air

Despite Bruce saying after the game that the Magpies “had three good opportunities”, Newcastle’s combined ‘expected goals’ total of 0.35 tells a different story.

And on what was already a difficult afternoon, club captain Lascelles was forced to withdraw from the game with injury at the interval. On the issue, Bruce explained:

“It’s a strange one because he hurt his knee just before half time. As he’s run out to try and test his knee, he’s felt his thigh. It was a difficult one. We hope he’s not too bad. We won’t know how bad it is until we see him on Monday.” – Steve Bruce

On Callum Wilson (£6.6m), who missed out with a hamstring injury, Bruce said much the same thing before and after the game:

“I couldn’t risk him today because of the threat of a hamstring injury and being out for the next six weeks. We’ve erred on the side of caution and hope he’s going to be OK for next week.”


Newcastle XI (5-4-1): Darlow; Lewis, Clark, Lascelles (Schar 45′), Fernandez, Manquillo (Almiron 65′); Saint-Maximin (Carroll 73′), S Longstaff, Hayden, J Murphy; Joelinton.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell (Emerson 81′), Rudiger, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Kovacic; Werner (Hudson-Odoi 75′), Abraham, Ziyech (Giroud 86′).

    If you have both, do you keep:

    A) Son - the counter attack scoring player
    B) Kane - the assisting penalty taker

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

      Son

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      (I have both and am keeping both)

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        City have beaten Burnley 23-1 over the last 6 meetings. Getting in on any of that?

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          This season’s City haven’t played Burnley. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns etc.

          I take the view that you can’t own them all. I’d like some city coverage, in case they start to look unstoppable again. But I’m happy with the lads who are scoring every week at the moment, regardless of opposition

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

            We have, in the cup

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      will.keep both

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

      Kane is playing POO, not interested

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

        POO?

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

          Reverse out of position

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

      I’m struggling with this and might end up keeping both. No idea how to get City at the moment.

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Someone for City will score big. But don't know who it is or how to get there.

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

      Depends who you want to buy, surely ?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kind of. But equally it's about who you're losing to assess whether the transfer is right. I want to buy KDB but I think Son is the better option. I would like Agüero but as he didn't come on as a sub when they're losing he's probably not actually fit yet. Sure I could get Vardy for Kane but still no City.

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

          I don’t have City but will get KDB probably for Son this week and even Vardy for Kane in a -4.
          KDB v Burnley
          Vardy v Fulham
          or
          Son & Kane v Chelsea away

          I know where I would be putting my money rather than sticking with the Spurs boys, as good as they are and even though they may return ... I have to back the upside and higher ceiling every time 🙂

          1. ebb2sparky
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Can you link your team? I’d be interested to see how well your approach has been working for you over the longer term. Of course Vardy looks a great shout this week but wouldn’t surprise me if Kane outscores him. IMO if Newcastle had Kane up front they’d have probably put at least 3 past Chelsea yesterday.

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

      Have both,kept both,keeping both.

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

    Who’s a better pick

    A Bamford
    B Watkins

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

      See how Bamford looks today

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

      I stand by Watkins

    3. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

      Bam Bam

  3. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you rather have for the next few weeks:

    A) Wilson and Salah
    B) Bruno and Vardy

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

      B

    2. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      A could get nothing again next week, but saying that I currently have both, may well change Wilson to Vardy this week though if flagged, already have Bruno.

      Straight choice definitely B

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I’ve got the money to do Wilson to Vardy but then couldn’t get Salah back in for Bruno.

        Wilson has been top though, and if he’s fit then I’d rather keep him in (newcastle fixtures are decent and he’s their only means of scoring). Think I’ll monitor-easy decision if he’s ruled out

    4. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks all

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

    Is Cancelo the best City def option?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes imo

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

      No, Dias

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

      None of Man C defensive options are decent at the moment

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

        Correct, they are great options

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

    Would you WC this team this week? Some early options.
    1. Bruno + Jimenez - KDB + Vardy. (-4).
    2. Son + Kane - KDB + Vardy. (-4).
    3. Bruno + Kane -> KDB + Vardy (-4).
    Hope Barkley is ok though and have a few other issues too.

    McCarthy.
    Cancelo, Chilwell, Justin.
    Grealish, Fernandes, Son, Barkley.
    Jimenez, Kane, DCL.
    Button, Mitchell, Ayling, Bissouma.
    1ft, 3.3m ITB.

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brunos goal and Kane's assist not good enough?

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

        Those points were very appreciated but maybe its time to jump with KDB/ Vardy looking the better options to own in the weeks ahead.

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

        KDB more likely to outscore him over the next 4/5 fixtures?
        With Salag in the background too I need to decide if both Bruno/ Son are worth keeping.

        1. Captain Vantastic™
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Do Jiminez and Barkley to Watkins and KDB. Easy.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            This

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

            0.1m short with KDB now at 11.6.
            Can go with Sterling though. Food for thought. Cheers.

    2. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      why do you want to remove bruno?

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

      not worth WC

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

    only 1 can bring in who?

    A)Vardy
    B) KDB

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB.

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

      Maybe KDB.

      Depends how your team is set up and maybe plans dor Liverpool/ Salah.

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

      Kdb. Vardy only good for one week

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B probably

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

      A, always think outside the box

    6. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough but Vardy because Fulham

    7. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy.

      Might reconsider if city start to look more 2019 model than 2002

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

    What do you think if this -8 ?

    T. Silva, Bowen and Kane -> Castagne, Ziyech and Vardy?

    Gives me:

    Martinez
    Castagne - Cresswell - Chilwell
    KDB - Bruno - Son - Ziyech - Grealish
    Vardy - Bamford

    (Steer, Brewster, Mitchell, Lamptey)

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No...

    2. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years

      looks good to me

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Silva will be back next week and has great fixtures after. Bowen hasn’t played yet, has good fixtures and Antonio’s return bodes well for him.

  8. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will Kane be a Mid next season?

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

      never

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Auba is...

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

          FPL towers love Kane,

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              Yes

  9. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Plan was to go Son - Kdb, not so sure now

    (A) Kdb - Son
    (B) Mitchell - Dias/Cancelo

    (Own Sterling)

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

      A if you have 4 starting defenders already

  10. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This Tottenham team looks similar to the one of Conte's first season at Chelsea. Kane's returns mirrors that of Diego Costa.

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

      A goal and a yellow standard costa

  11. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Planning ahead for GW10 fixture swing:

    Martinez (Forster)
    Chilwell - Cresswell - Robertson - (Kilman - Mitchell)
    Zaha - B.Fernandes - J.Rodriguez - Salah - (Podence)
    Watkins - Kane - Bamford
    0.4itb 1FT

    A - Kane > Vardy(c)
    B - Salah > KdB(c)
    C - Rollover FT; Bruno or Salah(c)

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B if Salah confirmed out

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        ... and if Salah fit then C I think. Thanks.

    What do I do about mendy + chilwell vs kane + son next week??

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In that situation I play them all but captain someone else - but what does a potato know about fpl.

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hope for a Chilwell attacking return? These things happen with the double ups, it’s part of the game.

      They got you 13 points this week. They could do the same again, in which case you’re looking at almost 20 points from the four. And if they do concede, at least it’s likely at least one of your players is involved

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

    A) Sais - > Chilwell
    B) Sais - > Cancelo / Dias
    C) Sais - > 4.5

    1. manu4life99

      I'm doing B, probably Dias (due to a weak bench)

      1. manu4life99

    A) Salah + DCL
    B) Kane + Son

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

      So effectively kane vs dcl

        i didn't get how?

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Prob a

    3. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane & Son

  18. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really should be getting kdb with week but can’t see how. I could get Foden (I know the risks) for bissouma and downgrading bellerin. Thoughts?

    McCarthy
    Bellerin / Justin / chilwel
    Mane / Bruno / ziyech / soucek
    Kane / Vardy / Watkins

    Button / Mitchell / bissouma/ Dallas

    2. The Suspended One

      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t buy foden.

      Jota way better at that price

      But yeah I’d focus on Kane out for kdb

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but Kane out? I know the fixtures are tough but spurs playing well and he’s at the heart of everything

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Heart of central mf..

          He’s not athletic enough to get in the box as much as he should be; he’s a great passing hub but son is the one to own of the two

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

            He only played that deep because it was city

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Won’t just be against city

              Was the same vs West brom, just what the gaffer wants

        That's if CHS get the ball. Phillips and Roderigo are back too.

          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          They'll get the ball.

    Chelsea vs Spurs predictions?

    1-1 or 2-2

    Depends on what formation Lamps uses

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2-0 chelsea

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

      1-0 chelsea

    3. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs win. They’re much better then Chelsea.

      I’m an arsenal fan

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        So you qualify your statement by saying you’re unqualified?

        1. Right In The Stanchion
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’m just saying Spurs are better and will win. Got a problem wit( that jerkwad?

          1. The Suspended One

            Yeah clearly I do

            1. Right In The Stanchion
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Why you dishing out advice sitting at 600k and an awful FPL history. Chelsea fan too. Loollll mug

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                3 years, 4 months ago

                I didn’t give you any advice. Since you asked though, you could try directing your pent up aggression towards something productive rather than trying to troll people on Internet forums.

                1. Right In The Stanchion
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  You’re the troll with two accounts. Liking your own dull replies.

                  Somebody sitting in 600k with an embarrassing history shouldn’t be so aggressive with answers.

                    • 8 Years

                    If you’re going to bring up someone’s rank/fpl history, you have to have your own team linked! Very poor show otherwise.

                    You one of those Qanon folks? It’s sad to see such emotionally insecure people struggling to control their self loathing behavior.

      1-2

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

    Why have Chilwell when you have Robertson?

  22. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Werner to vardy was my plan do i stick 2 it?

    Ziyach/chiwell other chelsea cover

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just bought Werner and Vardy would t want to lose Werner

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

    So here is my current FPL thoughts
    A or B

    A. Get Kun he was on the bench this week and could be gold for the next few get him it and go C. Pep knows it’s a mess and needs a short term fix.
    B. Getting Kun is dumb he may not even start. Pep knows how valuable he is and how injury prone he is. He will get a few minutes and build up minutes over a few weeks.

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

      A would be correct if you were a clown

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

        Scary clown work?

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I want to see Kun play a few first, may be washed..

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

        Bring him to my room washed and cleaned ... 🙂

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          In a pinch I might for all those previous C hauls .. 🙂 🙂 🙂

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

      Vardy is just the better option right now IMO.

  24. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    Chilwell, AWB, Justin
    Bruno, Ziyech, Son, Soucek
    Kane, Jimenez, DCL

    Forster, Mitchell, Lamtety, Alaze

    3.0m ITB, 1 FT

    Early thoughts

    A) Son to Salah (c) or Mane (c)
    B) Son to KDB (c)
    C) Jimenez to Vardy (c)
    D) Alaze to Jota, captain him to Bruno

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

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

      No idea why you want to sell Son. MCY should have been a lesson.

      Jota appeals. I would have thought a front line of Kane, Bamford and DCL is the optimum forward line at present.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        not keen on Vardy (c), will see how he looks today and in Europe.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          also no Pool or City

  25. Red Red Robins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I currently have Chilwell, but getting rid of Robertson next week for maybe James
    So double Chelsea defence

    Im also thinking of doing Bowen to Ziyech.

    But i could do DCL to Werner?

    Who would your 1st pick for Chelsea be? (defenders aside)

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Werner on pens

      1. Wrong Captain Again
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ah ok now I'll get him over Vardy

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

    A Kane to vardy
    B Werner to vardy
    C don't get vardy

    Thank you and gl

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

      See what Vardy does this week and hopefully when it’s nothing go for C

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

        Haha cheers

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        When it’s nothing go with A

  27. mdm
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Shall I stick to the initial plan Kane and Son -> Vardy and KDB for free?

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

      No

    2. Jafalad

      3 years, 4 months ago

      Noooo. Jeeez.

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Yes.

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

      If Kane & Son would have blanked everyone would be making those moves. Now here's your chance to get on some premium attacking assets who are differentials and have plum fixtures. High risk high reward.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ederson should have saved Sons effort, would have changed everyone’s tune...

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

          Not a problem if it convinces people to keep Spurs assets.

  28. Red Red Robins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thats my thoughts too, but the downside is i cant really upgrade Bowen if i do that.
    Plus im getting rid of DCL for him.
    Sorry just running it through my head

    1. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like James’s value, says a lot that he played over Azpi even with Silva out. I think he’s the RB now..

    Who is likely to score the most points in GW10

    A. Kane (che)
    B. Bamford (eve)
    C. Watkins (whu)

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

      A

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A, but he a lot more expensive so how having him affects the rest of your team should be coming into this.
