Analysing Fernandes and United’s other FPL assets after narrow West Brom win

Manchester United 1-0 West Bromwich Albion

  • Goals: Bruno Fernandes (£10.7m)
  • Assists: Juan Mata (£5.9m)
  • Bonus: Fernandes x3, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) x2, Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) x1

A twice-taken Bruno Fernandes (£10.7m) penalty was just enough for Manchester United to see off a spirited, if limited, West Brom side.

It was the Red Devils’ first league win at Old Trafford this season, prompting a relief-heavy comment from manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:

We needed that win at home. It’s never comfortable against players of this quality.

FERNANDES TO THE FORE

Over-hyping the opposition continues to be a Solskjaer trait because the Baggies were organised and committed, but that was generally where their qualities ended.

Then again, there wasn’t much of the good stuff on display from the home side either, with midfielder Fernandes the best of an average lot on the night.

That was the most pleasing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) aspect of the match as the 34.5%-owned midfielder was by far the most popular player on the pitch.

His ownership had been boosted by a Gameweek-leading one million-plus new owners for the West Brom encounter and yet another penalty – seven of his 14 goals for the club have come from the spot – meant he produced a second straight double-digit return for his managers old and new.

He did require a re-take to score it, however, when his first attempt was saved by the excellent Sam Johnstone (£4.5m), albeit from well off his goal-line.

But the goal was just reward for an influential performance from Fernandes.

He created two of the game’s three big chances, which forced fine saves by Johnstone from Anthony Martial (£8.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) respectively, and scored from the other one.

Fernandes’ form, and United’s fixtures, are tempting more managers into the midfielder’s fold – he’s currently one of the most popular purchases for Gameweek 10.

And a pleasant mix of matches over the next six Gameweeks, with four games away and the two at home against more progressive opposition in Manchester City and Leeds, should better suit United’s counter-attacking strengths.

NOT SO FORWARD THINKING

Penalties have nourished Fernandes owners through thin times. There’s not a lot of sustenance available for the team’s other attacking options.

On another day and against a rather less inspired keeper, both Martial and Rashford might have found the net.

But the former has had a truly terrible season so far, with more red cards than goals, while Rashford’s last four starts – which have included three stints up front – have produced just one assist.

Solskjaer has handed four starts out of the last five to Juan Mata (£5.9m) and it was the veteran’s cross that drew the handball for Saturday’s penalty award.

The Spaniard now has two assists from those starts, but his lack of pace does the side few favours and his freer role seems to compromise Fernandes’ ability to get forward at times.

Many United fans would rather see the more dynamic Donny van de Beek (£6.7m) given a chance in Mata’s place, a move that the conservative Solskjaer is yet to make, and might not even have contemplated.

The manager did provide an update on another midfielder – Paul Pogba (£7.7m):

Paul got a knock in the last game (for France) and he started feeling it yesterday after the session. Well, he felt it before the session, but he couldn’t carry on. Hopefully, he’ll be okay for Tuesday.

But the only attacking game in town at the moment remains Fernandes. United have had 109 attempts so far this season and just over a fifth (24) have come solely from him.

DEFENSIVE DIVIDENDS

At least the team’s backline is starting to produce points, with two clean sheets (and just two goals conceded) over the last four Gameweeks.

The side’s most popular defender, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m and 9.2%), brought in two bonus points, and eight overall, while Alex Telles (£5.5m) marked his league debut with a solid return for his 1.2% ownership.

United’s schedule is attractive enough to suggest more clean sheets can be kept for the foreseeable future.

But the prospect of attacking returns from the flanks remains remote.

United’s full-backs – including the injured Luke Shaw (£4.8m) – have created nine chances between them this season. 

That’s a total bettered by six defenders on their own, while West Ham’s Ryan Fredericks (£4.3m) can match that tally from just three appearances.

Until Solskjaer risks pushing his wide men further forward, Harry Maguire (£5.4m) is probably the better bet as a consistent attacking threat.

The centre-half’s 13 attempts this season is joint-top among defenders.

As for the Baggies, manager Slaven Bilic was understandably bitter about VAR overturning a penalty award when Fernandes tackled Conor Gallagher (£5.5m):

I’m very disappointed with the result and the decisions from the referee.

But from a Fantasy perspective, the less said about a team with just six goals and one clean sheet from nine games, the better.


Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Fred (McTominay 84); Mata (Cavani 62), Fernandes, Rashford (van de Beek 79); Martial.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; Furlong, Bartley, Ivanovic (Krovinovic 79), Ajayi, Townsend; Gallagher, Sawyers, Diangana (Robson-Kanu 62), Pereira; Grant (Robinson 62).

    Bowen + Kane to KDB + Bamford (-4) ??

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

      Hmm seems like the move you should do, but I'm very unsure

      1. The Handsome Hunk
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If Salah is unfit, I could possibly capt. KDB which could be no brainer.

  2. Sharkytect

    Is Fernandes a bit like Vardy? Don’t worry about his stats or the eye test. Just focus on his FPL output?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I thought he looked ok on the eye, created a couple of great chances (Bruno)

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

      He was very close to 2 assists too. He is erratic but that doesnt mean he doesnt create big chances every match. Most people have lot of issue with his shameless ambition mindset and Manutd as a whole so avoid. I think Bruno is useful if only kept long term

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

      United were awful. Bruno is staying alive through dodgy penalties, at some point refs will stop giving them.

    4. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This
      I just dont know when he will haul and I cant C him
      Thats why he is not for me

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

        He is such an awkward price for this. He keeps getting points somehow. I bought him with the intention of straight upgrade to KDB this week (1mil itb). Every week de Bruyne looks like he will get tons of points. His stats are always epic. But just not happening.

        Do I just stick with Bruno simply because he is getting the points in?

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

      Purely a ruthless business decision. Nothing pretty about this pick but get him if you like points

  3. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Into the top 100k with no players left.
    I hope the gamage won't be bad today and ill be at least on the top 150k.

    Have a good day all of you lads

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

      Not of any use to gauge anything this early. Example players like me which are many mostly end in top 10k come gw 38 even after languishing around a million for half of the season. Itsthe finish that matters especially dgw BB/TC not the start

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the kind words, I hope i won't swap places with you then 😉

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

          If u have history good finishes then why swap, we both can finish in top 5-10k 😉

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

        He's had an excellent start, no need to bring him down mate.

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

          My point is not that, it is not get too happy with the start unless u in league with monthly/quaterly cash rewards. People tend to let guard down and rank suffers if get too confident with strong start

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

      Think you'll be OK. Don't see any high scoring games from those.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Being afraid of Zaha is my worst nightmare haha

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

          Didn't some dude post here before that Zaha is out?

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

    Assuming Wilson is back, I'll need to bench one of the below. Who would you suggest?

    A) Grealish
    B) Zaha
    C) Wilson
    D) Jota

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

      let zaha play, if poor then him

    2. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson

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

      Wilson or Grealish. Not a situation you should put yourself in though.

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

      Thanks all. Will let one go soon and upgrade elsewhere.

  5. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mitchell to Kilman? 0.3 itb

    Martinez
    Chilwell Bellerin Coufal
    Salah Bruno Son Rodriguez Grealish
    Kane DCL

    Steer Brewster Nico Mitchell

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

      Why? We don't know if he'll be back into the team yet? Unless you have a transfer to burn, why would you make this move?

  6. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you wc this?
    *Players I'd probably change
    Mccarthy button
    Chilwell James ayling* Taylor* mitchell
    Mané* Bruno grealish soucek* bissouma
    DCL Kane* Bamford

    Or Kane and bissouma to kdb and

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

      Oops. Meant to be Kane to vardy

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

    In an amazing defensive five of Robbo Chilwell Lamptey Coufal Kilman I keep getting clean sheets playing 3 of them. Now I also want Dallas. The plan was Robbo out but this isn't going to happen by any means. I completely forgot Cancelo now.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      it was just arsenal
      I don't think dalas is essential in your defence, already really good back 5

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have same def but Mitchell to Kilman. Planning to Lamptey -> Cancelo

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

        Oh no.. Lamptey is a special piece. He is playing like a RW

  8. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which of these 4/5 you need long term?
    1) KDB
    2) Salah
    3) Son
    4) Kane
    5) Dcl
    Currently on 1 2 3 and 5 as Bamford instead of DCl doesnt feed me with confidence and Son seems to have better upside

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

      2 3 4

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

      Really tough. I'd put Bruno in there too. Sorry doesn't help!

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

      KDB, Salah, DCL

    4. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3, 4, 5

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

    Salah back this weekend. Now I have the dilemma of whether to get him or KDB

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

      KDB for me ; Salah week 12

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

      That's not a dilemma..

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB now and fulham
      Salah for fulham

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

      Will probably look to have both by GW12 myself

  10. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Currently own Kane and Son, looking at ways to get KDB in

    A) KDB, Kane & Barkley
    B) KDB, Kane & Jota (-4)
    C) KDB, Watkins & Barkley (-4)
    D) KDB, Watkins & Jota (-8, or over 2 weeks)

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

      Who else is in your team?

      1. stu92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Current team is:
        Martinez - 4.0
        Robbo - Zouma - Lamptey - Targett - Kilman
        Son - Bruno - JRod - Barkley - Soucek
        Kane - DCL - Adams

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

      Not sure who you are bringing in and taking out

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

    So who has ended up falling into the Jota shaped trap?

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

      What's not to love?

      Incredible form, attacking team. Even if he gets 100 minutes every 2 games, he will be gold at his price.

      Very much on my radar

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

        I’m glad you are saying this. I brought him in yesterday for Rodriguez and wanted to establish whether it was a good move. Thanks mate 😉

  12. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have 2FTs and 3.1ITB - I could do Kane Reguilon to Vardy (c) Cancelo.

    Would you also add Hamez to Sterling for a hit ?

    Martinez
    Robo/Kilman/Chilwell
    Bruno/Son/Hamez/Grealish
    Kane/DCL/Bamford

    Martin/Reguilon/Mitchell/Stephens

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

      Just Kane to Vardy and play Reguilon or Kilman. Both could clean

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

        Just have 2 FTs and a lot ITB, would like use it somehow

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

      James Rod & Kane to KDB & Vardy ... except Vardy was limping heavily after the game

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

        I’m 0.1 short due to that last scam KDB price rise with no reason...ofc will wait on Vardy news

  13. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez - 4.0
    Robbo - Zouma - Lamptey - Targett - Kilman
    Son - Bruno - JRod - Barkley - Soucek
    Kane - DCL - Adams

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Reply fail, ignore...

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

    So, are people still going early with their transfers and hits even though there is a full midweek schedule and Covid spreading around that could strike down any of your 15 squad ?

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

      Planned but will wait as always

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

      Problem is as always, planned transfers are spot on budget, so can't afford e.g. Vardy price rise

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

      I did my -8 last week and there are no pressing issues now. I hope to save 2 FT

  15. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Great GW for me - 74 points total and moved from 1.2 M to 600k in OR.

    Though have some headaches regarding transfer/s this week:

    I have 1 FT and 4.5 mln in the bank.

    Martinez
    Robbo - Zouma - Chilwell
    Son - Hamez - Ziyech - Grealish
    Kane - DCL - Watkins

    Moves I consider:
    A) Zouma ➡ Cancelo
    B) Hamez ➡ KDB
    C) Son ➡ KDB
    D) Kane ➡ Vardy

    Thought..?

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

      game week isn’t over yet ... I still have 3 players to play and I am yet to hear any fat ladies warbling 🙂

      James Rod & Kane to KDB & Vardy ... except Vardy was limping heavily after the game

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

      Great jump, also moved 1.5m to 880k myself. Trying to keep moving up I think that Kane to Vardy (c) is the way

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

        didn't watch the game,thanks for the input

        On paper Kane -> Vardy looks OK, though I keep asking myself whether I should drop the main striker who plays for one of 2 best teams at this moment and who can can both assist and score and have pens, to the guy who mainly relies on penalties and eventually counter-attack.
        Hmmmm...

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

      I don't like any of these moves. City have no form.

      I thought about D myself, but I don't think there is really any pressing need for it. I'm going to save a FT myself.

  16. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best captaincy option for next week?

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

      Vardy

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah if fit for the differential, Vardy, KDB

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

      1. Vardy
      2. KDB
      3. Rashford

  17. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez Steer
    Ayling Dallas Lamptey Justin Chilwell
    Mané Bruno Hamez Podence Ziyech
    DCL Jimenez Watkins

    1FT 2.2 ITB and a million options!

    1. Hamez and Jimenez to Salah and Bamford (-4)
    2. Jimenez to Vardy
    3. Leeds DEF to Cancelo
    4. Something else
    5. Hold FT

    1. Pitch Perfect
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd watch Jiminez in today's game and if he blanks, go to Vardy.

  18. Saka_me_sideways
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    James Milner got double the number of assists in one game, that TAA got in 8... WTF!

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

      And kept a CS for good measure lol.

  19. chelseabrad
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    2.6m ITB and 2 FTs, considering either just Son > KDB or Son & Kane > KDB & Vardy, what you reckon?

    Martinez Steer
    Robbo Chilwell Bellerin KWP Mitchell
    Bruno Son Hamez Grealish Neto
    Kane Wilson Bamford

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

      A) Son > KDB
      B) Hamez & Kane > KDB & Werner
      C) Son & Kane > KDB & Vardy
      D) Other?

    2. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C.

      KDB & Vardy look like the best / most popular targets.
      Pedigree, track record (long term), fixtures & on pens.
      Not owning if they haul could really hurt OR over the next few GWs.

      Jealous you have 2FT & can do both! 🙂

      As a Chelsea fan & playing spurs next, get both Son & Kane out mate!

      Good luck.

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

    Too early still but a couple of options on my mind:
    a) Werner to Vardy (c)
    b) Bruno to Salah with KDB (c) most probably
    c) Saiss to Cancelo/Dias
    d) A combination a/b + c for a -4 as i think is worh the hit

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

      I wouldnt take any of those out personally

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

      C

    3. Pitch Perfect
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss upgrade seems most pressing.

  21. Pitch Perfect
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mane & Bamford > Jota & Vardy (1.2 ITB). Thoughts? Could take a hit to upgrade Rodriguez to Ziyech too?

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

      Losing Mane and Bamford is madness imo, don't do that.
      Rodriguez to Ziyech after this week sounds good but not for this GW

      1. Pitch Perfect
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Can only upgrade to Ziyech with Mane funds... ☹️

      2. Pitch Perfect
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

      I like Vardy but is there another way? Mane stil seems a better pick to me but understand might be the only option.

      Wouldn’t do the hit this week

        Captained Mane. Such regret.

    What to do here? Feel like I need some city

    McCarthy
    Bellerin / Justin / chilwell
    Mane / ziyech / Bruno / soucek
    Kane / Vardy : Watkins

    Button / Mitchell / Dallas / bissouma

    1ft 1m itb

    1. Pitch Perfect

      Stick this week.

      1. ShaunGoater123

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah? Gonna need a sofa to hide behind for city game!

        1. Pitch Perfect
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Bruno has SOU, Mane has BHA. You'd have to sell one of those in order to get KDB I'm guessing. Yet both fixtures have points in em. At best you could do a double transfer, but not sure KDB would guarantee you 4points back and change.

        2. Pitch Perfect
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Picture might change if Vardy injured, but otherwise you'd want him v FUL.

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

            Yeah would have to move on mane , Bruno , Kane or Vardy to get kdb.

            Is there rumours of Vardy injured then?

      Kane and Bissouma> Brewster + KDB??

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

        Yep that’s affordable. Scary to lose Kane though with his ownership

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

    Which looks best all?
    Want Mo back... plan on switching him and Sterling every week for about 4 weeks

    Thanks.

    Son and Saïss ➡️ Salah and Killman -4

    Kane Bowen and Saiss ➡️ Salah Bamford and Cancelo +.5 ITB -8

    1. Pitch Perfect
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't be rushing to get rid of Son. Especially not for a hit.

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

        I completely agree but it’s Salah.

        What about the Kane one ? Don’t wanna get rid of him either but

        1. Pitch Perfect
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'd rather ship Kane to find Salah... Not sure Bamford will register v Everton. Then he has Chelsea next. Wilson better fixture run?

    2. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      A looks good. Salah is essential..

  24. lordkippe

    Bottomed. What to do ? 1FT .2 ITB

    Martinez

    Chilwell - PVA - Cancelo ( Coufal, Williams )

    Sterling(C) - KDB - Fernandes - Grealish - Jota

    DCL - Richarlison ( Brewster )

  25. faux_C

    That VC on DCL really stings.

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

      Who’s the (C)?

      I had Bruno, no complaints really

  26. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Robertson or Cancelo? Dont have any other Pool/Man City cover.

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

      Cancelo

  27. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mccarthy
    Bellerin, Robertson, Cancelo
    Son, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish, Podence
    Werner, DCL

    1FT, 0.4ITB

    A) Robertson + Son - - 4.5 + Salah (-4)
    or
    B) Roll

    1. borispkpk
      • 7 Years

      B. and get back Salah for FUL

    I've stubbornly held onto Foden up until now partly due to this fixture run, City struggling for goals, surely Phil will get a start soon. What do you reckon, hold or sell ?

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

      Everything points to sell.

      But, I actually think he’ll start this week and tempted to get him in! That’s purely gut instinct though, every data point says it’s a sell at this point

    2. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've got Foden too. My thoughts were with City's injuries he was worth the punt at that price, we've been a bit unlucky with him getting ill & affecting at least one of his starts, especially after coming on & scoring.

      I'm selling for KDB. Too much of a rotation risk, better value at similar price points & only 5MF places. Plus he's taking up a city place in case their form radically changes.

      Eg Cancelo, KDB, Aguero might be what I want.

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

        I agree completley, the illness a few weeks ago really disrupted momentum. If I didn't have any other issues I'd sell I think but with Podence and possibly only 2 defenders this week, I may have to move elsewhere. I own Raz too so one more City spot available currently. GL.

    RMT

    What to do here?

    Martinez (Forster)
    Chilwell Cancelo Coufal(Lamptey)(Neco)
    KDB Fernandes Ziyech Grealish (Riedewald)
    Vardy(C) DCL Watkins

    1 FT and 2.1 ITB

    Not sure if I should do Fernandes to Salah this GW or GW12, I really want to keep Bruno though because I'll lose value on him and it will be hard to get him back for almost 11m

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

      Really difficult decision

      Prob KdB due to City’s overall form but that carries its own risks

    2. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team mate.
      I wouldn't be selling KDB with his fixtures & City players back from injury. He's over due a haul IMHO.

      Bruno better away from home. Salah GW12 v Brighton seems like a good move.
      Hold & reassess next week. Injuries, suspension, form may help your decision & having 2FTs & £ is an enviable position to be in.

      I expect KDB & Vardy will be the highest transferred in, so you may make some profit too, depending on what you paid for them.

    1FT 2.5ITB

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Coufal
    Salah Son Grealish Jrod
    Kane DCL Watkins

    Froster Justin, Riedewald, Branthwaite

    *want to get rid of Jrod before the price drop.

    A. Robb+Jrod > Cancelo + KDB (343) (This is my plan originally, but after 12pts with Robb... I am not so sure)
    B. Coufal+Jrod > Neco William + Bruno (343)
    C. Watkins + Jrod > KDB + Brewster (442)
    D. others (any suggestion)

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keep for the fixtures

      Nice team and balance

      1. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Or just dg to Jota

      2. borispkpk

        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!

        I will keep if JRod not going to drop in price within this week. But seems JRod is going to drop soon.

    2. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      James is on minus 76.1 ish.
      Not dropping yet, all your targets but Brewster having EU football mid week. I'd monitor & wait.

      James at home may do well against an attacking Leeds team, not sure I'd be selling yet, especially if for a minus 4 points.

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

        Thanks! hoping ppl not selling JRod
