More home struggles for Vardy as Lookman’s FPL form continues

Leicester 1-2 Fulham

  • Goals: Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) | Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m)
  • Assists: Jamie Vardy (£10.2m) | André-Franck Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m), Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.3m)
  • Bonus points: Cavaleiro x3, Anguissa x2, Lookman x1

KING SOUR STADIUM

Jamie Vardy‘s (£10.2m) lacklustre home form reared its ugly head yet again as Leicester suffered a 2-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Fulham in Gameweek 10.

As has often been the case at the King Power Stadium this season, the Foxes’ front-man was unable to have much influence on the game, faced with yet another home game where the opposition dropped deep throughout.

He did show some smart play when he knocked down a second-half cross for Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) to fire into the top corner but, apart from that, Vardy never got a chance to stretch his legs.

A five-point score will feel somewhat anti-climactic for over one-million Fantasy Premier League managers who captained Vardy, especially considering it was against Fulham who, up until now, have boasted one of the division’s worst defences.

But his struggles at the King Power Stadium are nothing new, as has been well documented this season. Across his four Premier League home appearances this season, Vardy has averaged just 3.3 points per game.

Such information is likely to cast doubt on Vardy’s Fantasy credentials for upcoming home meetings with Brighton (Gameweek 12) and Everton (Gameweek 13), especially if he could not even buck his home-trend against Fulham.

Thankfully for his 28.7% ownership, Gameweek 11 takes Vardy into a much more favourable scenario: a trip to Sheffield United.

80.3% of his points have come on the road this season, an average of 10.6 points per away game, while the Blades are the only Premier League team without a clean sheet in 2020/21.

BARNES DOOR

The 4.1% invested in Barnes were among the rare winners of Leicester’s defeat to Fulham as he scored the Foxes’ only goal of the game.

Finding the net, the former West Bromwich Albion loanee certainly sent a message to manager Brendan Rodgers who left him out of the starting XI initially, despite a strong performance midweek.

Neither James Maddison (£7.0m) nor Dennis Praet (£5.5m) provided much support for an isolated Vardy as Rodgers went with a 3-4-2-1 formation which lacked the width to really stretch Fulham’s deep block.

It was in the second half that the hosts were able to make some limited progress, as Barnes and Cengiz Ünder (£5.9m) came on for Praet and wing-back Luke Thomas (£4.3m) respectively, allowing for a slight improvement in the fluidity of their attack.

TAKE A LOOK

By contrast, Fulham went about Monday night’s encounter with a cut and thrust that Leicester could not replicate.

The result itself might have been a surprising one but it was a fully deserved win for the visitors, especially considering Scott Parker made the bold decision of benching key players in Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.7m) and Tom Cairney (£5.3m).

Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) was handed the centre-forward role and, despite his embarrassing penalty miss last time out, was brave enough to step up for the latest Fulham spot-kick and slammed it past Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m). That ensured the Cottagers did not become the first Premier League team to miss three penalties in a row.

“I asked him yesterday, ‘are you ready to take this penalty if we get one?’ and he looked me dead in the eye and said ‘yeah, I’m ready’. The courage, the bravery to step up there, they’re things that we need.” – Scott Parker

There was also a strong showing from Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) who has also responded well to his recent penalty woes.

Since sending a stoppage-time spot-kick into Lukasz Fabianski‘s (£5.0m) arms at West Ham, the Fulham winger has gone on to get himself a goal and assist across the last two matches, going close with some direct free-kicks too.

Matches with Manchester City (away) and Liverpool (home) over the next two Gameweeks are likely to ward off any Fantasy interest but as Fulham’s fixtures turn more positive in Gameweek 13, Lookman’s propensity to shoot could mean he finally fulfils his potential as a budget midfield option.

“He came in for a lot of stick when he did the penalty, rightly so, you need to take your medicine after that. What is going to determine, like anyone Cavaleiro – last week he slips for the penalty. I’m not on Instagram but I can only imagine what was being said, the jokes for everyone to see and Cav would have seen that. Ade’s performance tonight, earned the right to score a goal.” – Scott Parker

Leicester City XI (3-4-2-1): Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Fofana; L Thomas (Ünder 46′), N Mendy (Iheanacho 70′), Tielemans, Justin; Maddison, Praet (H Barnes 46′); Vardy.

Fulham XI (5-4-1): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina, Decordova-Reid; Lookman (Bryan 90′), Zambo-Anguissa, Reed, Loftus-Cheek (Lemina 77′); Cavaleiro (Mitrović 87′).

    exact money and 2FT for Son + Maupay -> Jota + Jesus, quite tempted...

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      More than tempting

    2. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years

      ooh, or Bissouma + Maupay -> Jota + Brewster?

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Brewster is rubbish

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

          This is true, but so is Maupay plus he will get Jota instead of Bissouma which is a clear upgrade.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That is probably better so long as Brewster does not have to actually play

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          yes that may actually prove to be a problem over Christmas, assuming Jota will get rotated a bit too

    3. McSauce
      • 14 Years

      do you have KDB/Salah already?

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        just KDB

  2. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you rather have long term, Salah or Kane?

    I'm thinking of transferring Kane to Salah after next week...

    1. Roysgotnoboys
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah for me. Going to get him after the Wolves game

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mo contest

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Question can't be answered without context. Salah isn't good value unless he's a solid captain choice.

      1. Oooo Matron
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Well I'd captain him for Fulham. I'd also have KDB & Fernandes so there's long term options for captain. I'm just not sure Kane will score masses in the current Spurs setup.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          KdB and Salah is unsustainable and unnecessary imo.

          In a season where Bruno and Kane are showing big as captaincy options then anyone who puts £23.8m into those two players who offer poor value but good captaincy options is making bad investments imo.

          One max

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

      Is there a chance salah is on the bench against Fulham? Mane wasn't happy being on the bench the last game. Could be salah's turn on the bench coming on for mane this time . Kopp did say he will be giving his players rests around dec time because of the games they have to play.

      1. Oooo Matron
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Interesting shout. Surely Salah the least prone to rotation out of anyone? Mid week game might give us a clue, but Liverpool can't afford more dropped points.

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

        Salah looked ready to hand in a transfer request when Klopp took him off against Brighton. I can't see him being benched

      3. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No chance the final 3rd v Brighton was Salah's rest. Mo missed 2 internationals and the league match where Mane played the full 90 in all of those. Mane has looked far more tired. They'll both start tonight and Sunday since its 5 days rest till then

      4. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Salah just will likely be rested against Midylland next week

    5. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years

      Mo Salah without a doubt!

      Cross your fingers this week. Longer term, you don't need one of your forwards.

  5. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have:
    A) Robertson in a 442
    B) Jota in a 352

    I think this is a tough call....

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

      It is tough. Looking at fixtures, I would probably go with Robertson. I expect several cleansheets plus the attacking threat he provides makes him the better pick imo

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you for the insight. I agree and thought it was only me

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

          My pleasure. I have both in a 3-5-2 fwiw

          1. Von Lipwig
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I could do that with a Kane downgrade... but not convinced with Watkins/Bamford/Wilson really. Kane is so pricey though

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

              Yes, Kane has something like 10 goals in 11 league games against Arsenal so would be v risky selling him this week. I sold him for Watkins two weeks ago but used the spare cash to upgrade Podence to Bruno, so yes you need to consider what you can do with the extra money but you know that anyway

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rather have Jota because he is so cheap and not a fan of back 4 usually

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I know what you mean, but his price is very similar to Robbo and the swap doesn't feel like an upgrade really. Jota could be rested, can't keep up his current numbers... Obviously I have Robbo in a 442 as is, but I just don't see a valid 7m option in MID better then him... Is Jota that man? Torres? Sorry I'm just spit balling

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I actually typed Robbo to start then changed my mind when I realised that Jota is still half-a-mill cheaper and allows you to avoid a back 4 every week.

    Im about to take a horrible -8 which involves removing Kane and Son. Goodbye LMS...

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar

      Have you seen Arsenal recently?

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why are you doing this.

      Holding Kane and Son is the differential that will help you climb when others struggle to afford or find the transfers to claw them back. Now is the time to hold, not sell

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

        I see Mou employing the same strategy against arsenal and liverpool. Then you also have wolves whose manager is an enemy or football.

        3 of the next 5 games are bad

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

          Also I'm 100 points behind the leader in the MLs that count. No difference if i finish last in those leagues or mid table

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

          I see it different, Arsenal will get smashed like 3-0. Liverpool will be high scoring and wolves will lose like 3-1

        3. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Spurs are going to absolutely batter arsenal. Did you see the Arsenal first X1? I was, and not using any hyperbole, shocked. They are so incredibly average. Absolutely nothing to be scared of. They can't score. It's going to be comfortable

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

        holding them could just as easily lead to a plummet in rank.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I've been holding them the last two games and had greens because the transfers I've saved have been used to keep other parts of my team ticking over.

          It really doesn't have to be a problem.

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

            Youve had greens despite owning them...

            1. Pacer.
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Yes. I have stuck long term with Bruno and Wilson. Stuck long term with Kane and Son. Stuck long term with Chilwell, Grelaish, Martinez and Konsa.

              I'm using my transfers to keep 4 spots ticking over and do things like bring KdB/Salah in and out of one berth, bring in Jota, plan for when Justin becomes obsolete, build up lots of players with an extra game etc.

              Losing Kane and Son is a much bigger deal than people think. They WILL want them back in a few gameweks, so that's 4 transfers absolute minimum.

              The way I see it is that you can't play all your team short term, there's only 1FT a week for 15 players. Got to identify which players are your spine that aren't worth the transfers. That's Kane and Son for me. Swallow the few mediocre weeks and blanks for the sake of the team

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

            Green or red arrows are irrelevant. You have to consider points you’ve gained or lost from keeping or selling them.

            1. Pacer.
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              That's next to impossible to do because making such transfers impacts everything you do in subsequent weeks, directly and indirectly.

              You can say 'oh if I'd transferred out Kane to Vardy I'd have got 3 extra points' but then you have to consider what you would have done with that transfer if you hadn't done Kane to Vardy, and what your next move is in both those cases. It's a mess.

              FPL isn't a short term game, as much as people want to think it is

  13. have you seen cyan

    Play KWP or Lamptey?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      LampT

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

      I have KWP but if I had both I would play Lamptey.

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

      Yea Lamptey feels the right choice, hoping for cs’s isn’t fun, at least Lamptey has attacking merit. KWP in reality does not, despite his rare shot last game

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

        As a non owner, no cheap defender has terrified me as much as Lamptey. How the hell he ended up on -1 against Villa I'll never know.

  14. tim
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Am I crazy to go with both Sterling and KDB and no Salah?

    Have Bruno and Jota other mids.

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      no good choice for fulham if both play then shift sterling to salah

      1. tim
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thats what I was thinking!

        Chasing big time so hope they both would play!

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      For Fulham you certainly would be

  15. claretparrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would love some opinions on this plan...

    GW11: Salah > KDB
    GW12: Foden to Jota, and go Salah-less until it hurts too much...

    McCarthy
    Zouma - Dias - Robbo
    Foden - Bruno - Grealish - Salah
    Adams - Vardy - DCL
    [Soucek - Dallas - Branthwaite]
    1 FT; £1.3m ITB

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

      Sounds ok, I’d be tempted by just doing Foden to Jota this week.
      After seeing Fulham yesterday I don’t think next week is necessarily another battering like Burnley.

  16. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Do we know which 5 players have tested positive at Newcastle?

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      All the goalies, Wilson(150k transfers in this week) to play GK and concede 8.

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bit harsh. Wilson goalie stats are improving

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

    Thoughts on this -4?
    Rashford (Have Bruno) and Mitchell to Jota and Dias?

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

    I have Cancelo, do people think Mendy will start ahead of him whilst he is fit? Seen a few articles that say he will need to fight for his place.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No one has a clue with Pep. All you can go by is who starts midweek

    2. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mendy, when fit, is first choice. He hasn't been fit for a long time but the weekend proves that he's back and his goal backs that up

    3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't touch city with a barge pole (with the exception of KDB of course)

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Dias and Ederson too

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

        Fixtures are too good to avoid, when you look at their start they had the hardest start of the top teams. Plus neither Aguero or Jesus have been banging them in. I'm confident they will start stringing a few wins together now. I took put in Mahrez & Torres this gameweek which paid off.

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

          Wow! Can you tell me which wingers start this weekend for them please?

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

      I also have cancelo, with the fact he scored, yes I can see cancelo being left out. See who plays tonight

  19. focaccia
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best £4.5 MID to sit on the bench?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bissouma

  20. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Reed --> KdB
    Kane --> Brewster

    For a -4? Very happy with my front 7 if I do this.

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

      Do it!

    2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      what's the rest of the front 7?

  21. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    OK how about this?

    Cresswell + DCL (442) > Jota + Wilson/Watkins/Bamford (352)

    Yey or nay?

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

      For free maybe. For a -4 no.

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

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

    Normally when you take a player out of your team you fear what they might do in the next game, but I'm taking Mitrovic out.

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haha, the fear you must be experiencing

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hat Trick incoming!

    3. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Had the same fear 4 gws ago... never regretted

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

    Early thoughts? Save FT?

    Martinez
    James | Lamptey | Dallas
    Sterling | Bruno | Grealish | Jota
    Kane | Vardy | DCL

    Steer | Soucek | Kilman | Mitchell

    1FT, 0ITB

    Thanks

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

        Nice one thanks

  24. bigwig
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So Leicester beat Man City and Fulham beat Leicester, then that means Fulham beat Man City, right?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Indeed

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      YES

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      xLogic

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

      Leicester were 3 goals better than City and Fulham were 1 goal better than Leicester. Only one logical conclusion - 0-4 Fulham probably with a Mitro hatrick of penalties after I transfer him out.

    5. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stop stating the obvious

  25. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Save FT this GW?

    Martinez
    James Lamptey Coufal
    Sterling(C) Bruno Son Ziyech
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    Steere Podence Dallas Mitchell

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

      Any money ITB?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        1.0 m

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

          Depending on what happens midweek I’d be tempted by either Ziyech to Mahrez or Sterling to KdB (if it looks like Sterling is benched again)

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yes. Thinking of those options. Or even Ziyech to Grealish with more funds available to get Salah in 12. Mid week games are really important.

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

              Actually yes Grealish! Had forgot about him for a moment

  26. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which big hitter should make way for Salah in GW 12

    A) Bruno
    B) KDB
    C) Kane
    D) go without Mo

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane if you have Son

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No Son became KDB last week

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Still Kane

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      C or D imo.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I'm seriously considering D and just getting Jota in for Ziyech instead

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

      C then A

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

      KdB 100%

      Owning both of those is an unnecessary and bad value luxury this year with great captain options cheaper

  27. focaccia
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What's the better move this week - have 2 free transfers. Downgrade Soucek - Bissouma OR swap Cancelo for Dias/Mendy?

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

      Out of those, I would possibly swap to Dias but not essential unless Cancelo doesn't look like starting at the weekend...

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

    How's she looking? GTG for GW11? Any changes needed?

    Martinez
    Robertson - Chilwell - Cancelo
    Salah - KDB(c) - Bruno(vc) - Grealish - Jota
    DCL - Bamford

    Mitchell - Brewster - Kilman

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You ok with that bench?

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

        Yeah, plan to address it next week. Going to replace Mitchell with Dallas to give me more depth

  29. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    terrible GW from me with only 44 points all out but also some bad luck - Hamez, Watkins, Robbo...

    For GW 11 team is:

    Martinez
    Roboo - Chilwell - Zouma
    Son - Hamez - Ziyech - Grealish
    Vardy - DCL - Watkins

    I also have 5 mil at the bank.

    Which should I do here:

    1. OUT: Hamez or Ziyech?
    2. IN: KDB or Salah or Bruno?

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

      I would do JRod to KDB personally

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

      James > KdB. That looks like a super easy transfer to me.

  30. FPLGeezer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Want both eventually but Rodirguez to which one this week?

    A) Grealish

    B) Jota

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wait till last day to see if aston villa match is being played. If it is then grealish if it isnt then jots

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

        This

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

      Grealish surely. He's playing a decimated Newcastle team in the form of his life.

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

      Wait and see what happens with the Newcastle game. If it goes ahead with a depleted Newcastle team go A.
