Brewster benched again as West Brom host Sheff Utd in Gameweek 10

Fantasy Premier League managers could be forgiven for turning a blind eye to the final match of Gameweek 10’s Saturday schedule.

It pits the division’s bottom two sides together at the Hawthorns in an encounter that carries very little Fantasy relevance.

The fact that the most popular asset from either West Bromwich Albion or Sheffield United is non-playing goalkeeper David Button (£4.0m) speaks volumes.

It is Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) who sits second in that race, his 6.2% ownership roughly 14 percentage points behind Button’s and he does not make a start tonight either.

For the second match in a row, the former Liverpool striker is chosen on Chris Wilder’s bench, the Sheffield United boss preferring Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) and Oliver Burke (£4.4m) up-front.

That means the most fashionable starter at the Hawthorns is John Egan (£4.8m), chosen only by 2.9% of Fantasy managers, just ahead of Aaron Ramsdale (£4.8m) on 2.8%.

With the Blades facing Leicester and Southampton in Gameweeks 11 and 12 and Slave Bilic’s Baggies preparing to face Callum Wilson‘s (£6.5m) Newcastle and Manchester City between now and Gameweek 13, Fantasy managers are more likely to be watching how poor the respective defences are tonight rather than looking for specific assets to scout.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-3-2): Johnstone; Townsend, Bartley, Ivanovic, Ajayi, Furlong; Gallagher, Sawyers, M Pereira; C Robinson, Grant.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; K Bryan, Egan, Basham; Lowe, Fleck, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, Burke.

    Failing to see any way Sterling starts v Fulham unless he's completely rested midweek ..which is unlikely

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

      I reckon he will start both

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

        I hope so. I'll be keeping him and starting him next week anyway

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

        Probably best to keep and hope for the best next week but just so annoying he missed out on that today

    A) grealish 4.8 def.
    B) mahrez 4.3 def.

        Have him

  5. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking of a crazy -16

    Martial + Richarlison + Ziyech + Coady + Bissouma > KDB + Jota + Bamford + Dias + 4.3m forward

    Worth it? Have exact cash.

    Sorts all my problems and gives me -

    Martinez
    Dias - KWP - Lamptey
    Salah - KDB - Bruno - Grealish - Jota
    Vardy - Bamford

    Button - Taylor - Mitchell - Davis

      Can easily cover it next GW.

        Want city Though

        How to do that?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I took a -8 this GW.
          Gets expensive trying to cover every GW.

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

      Can you not stagger these moves over two or three weeks. 16 point seems too steep but I do like the moves

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

        ^16 point hit

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Price changes forcing things

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

          Really don't think it's worth it. Just prioritise who you think you need most and work towards bringing them in.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can you not get KdB and Jota in for a -8?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nope

        Means no 7th attacker

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn’t take a -16 but not convinced you can afford that team? Looks 2m too expensive

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

        That team is easily affordable

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

    I hope Bruno starts, Brewster (VC) will give me nightmares tonight.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brewster vc? You been smoking too much ganja, my man

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

      How horrendous must your team be to have Brewster as the best VC option.

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

        Haha ok the teams not horrendous by a long shot but the decision definitely was.

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brewster (vc) is just wrong, next time put it on your goalie instead, better chance of points

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

    De Bruyne is rising tonight,
    it's crazy getting him right?
    With him and Salah knocking on the door,
    next week my funds will be tight!

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

      I can see KDB and Jota being in great demand this week - although I don't normally advocate early transfers, with the fixture swings this maybe the time if you have the exact money.

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

    Did Jota go up already?

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Went up last night

  9. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Even sterling’s picture on fpl looks miserable

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

    Mané to kdb? Think I need squash long term anyway

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

      *Salah!

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

    Brewster on

  12. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Robbo, Jrod -> KDB, Reece James -4? Im really tempted

  13. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Brewster, let's get some first sub points.

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

    Foden to Jota?

    Or keep and prays he plays vs Fulham

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

      Foden probably plays 90 midweek.

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

      Pep obviously trusts Foden if not he wouldn't have played all the UCL games. It's just annoying that he thinks a guy his age won't be able to play 2 games a week.

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

    Just tinkering, but good moves? (for a -4)

    Werner>Brewster (after Brewster price drops this week)
    Bissouma>Mahrez

    It will leave me with 1.8 itb and shift from 343 to 352, I have no intention to ever play Brewster, just bench cover really (if he even starts that it is).

    Or instead of Brwester should I get a 6mil forward like Antonio, watkins, Wilson etc so if Mahrez doesnt play a game I have good cover, but equally then I have an unwanted benching issue every week (I also have Jota who is prone to rotation, so maybe in reality its a msart idea).

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think Brewster will drop this week. 4.5m mids/forwards don't change price often

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

      Is Brewster dropping in price?

      He's at 0.1 on FPL Statistics. He'd need to be at -100 to drop.

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

        I figure he might, havent even looked at stats. Maybe not today, but wont be surprised if he does this week

  16. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Shooting distance for Pereira...

  17. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I see the average players in a team to have turned out yet is only 4 to 4.5, so a long way to go this game week. Fortunately not many have Mahrez atm!

  18. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A), B or C)?

    A) James, Grealish and Robertson -> KDB, Jota and 4.5 def (-8)
    B) James and Robertson -> KDB and 3.9 fodder def (-4)
    C) None

    (1FT, 0.7 itb)

    Martinez
    Robertson/Chilwell/Zouma
    Salah/Bruno/Son/James/Grealish
    DCL/Bamford

    Bench: Button, Dallas, Mitchell, Brewster

  19. Tigers Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like KDB will rise tonight so I'm thinking of these moves for an -8 hit for exact money.
    Burke - Son - Robertson to Jota - KDB - Kilman
    It'll give me a bit of a benching headache as I'll have eight attacking mids/forwards but in the current climate maybe not a bad problem to have.
    Defence is Belierin - Lamptey - Chilwell
    Should I go ahead?

  20. Kragbaek
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I don't have to funds to do KdB. Also, I had thought of doing Sterling. What do you think? Where's Sterling at?

    Fernandes -> Sterling

  21. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hard to say but do we think Torres will play gw 11?

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

      Probably.

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

        Would you double up on KDB and Torres or KDB and Jota?

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

          I have kdb and Jota. Thinking about doubling up on salah and Jota while keeping kdb.

  22. TorresMagic™

    In Fan Team gw10 competition, Sterling seems to have been replaced by Mahrez 20 pointer.. Someone familliar with Fan Team rules?

  24. keefy59

    How's this for a plan targeting Fulham
    g/w 11 Son - Kdb (Ful home)
    g/w 12 Kdb - Salah (Ful-away)
    g/w 13 roll transfer
    g/w 14 Bamford or DCL to Wilson (Ful-home)
    g/w 15 Bring in Ings (Ful away)
    g/w 16 Bring in Son & Kane (Ful home)

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

      Pertect.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I've also got Vardy captain for Monday
        I like the plan because I've got a full 15 man playing squad with no fodder
        This means I could target the potential big hitters each week & keep the team fresh

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

      Lol, your plans will change

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed a lot depend on Fulham being "whipping boys"

  25. Klaren
    • 6 Years

    Baldock is trolling Burke owners.

    1. Klaren

        And me

  26. pablo discobar

    Don't think I've seen a worse case of second season syndrome then Sheffield United. Hilarious. Only one Carlos Tevez

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

      They really have dropped off a cliff, haven’t they!

    2. Bada Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They have been well and truly found out. One season wonder.

  27. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    All these frauds kept wasting Burke's hauls

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

      Last season you avoided anyone playing Sheffield United if you could help it.

      This season, however..................

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

        It's still not easy to thrash them, although they never keep CS anymore.

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

          Don’t score either.

          Which is not a good combination.

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

      It’s ridicilous he didn’t get anything from this game.

  28. HD7
    • 7 Years

    Any Updates on Zaha, TAA?

  29. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Current team : 1.3ITB
    Martinez
    Robbo, Chillwell, Coufal (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Zaha (Bissouma)
    Vardy, DCL, Bamford

    Make a transfer this week or?

    GW11: save transfer
    GW12: Zaha >>> Salah (c vs Fulham)
    Vardy >>> budget striker under 6.6

  30. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    5 points from 3 so far.

    Another glorious game week for me, then.

    This really is depressing.
