Joe and Az are joined by the FPL Fan Show host Conor, aka FPL Prince, to look ahead to Gameweek 12 and assess the key developments impacting on Fantasy Premier League managers.

On last week’s episode, the Scoutcast crew pondered how to fit in all of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.3m), Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m).

All three players delivered last time out but so too did the well-owned Tottenham partnership of Son Heung-min (£9.6m) and Harry Kane (£10.9m), who combined for double-digit hauls apiece once again.

Now, Az, Joe and Conor try to work out how FPL managers can squeeze in as many of this quintet as possible.

Cheap differentials in defence are likely to be needed. Our trio look at the merits of some of the highest-scoring bargain-basement options at the back and consult the Premium Members Area statistics to try to unearth some hidden gems.

Sacrifices are also likely to be needed in the search for multiple pricy picks. Almost 80,000 FPL managers have already severed ties with Everton’s sensational 11-goal striker Dominic Calvert Lewin (£8.0m) but Toffees fan Conor is certainly not keen on waving goodbye to his team’s star man.

Elsewhere, fixtures are frisked, transfers and captaincy plans for Gameweek 12 are revealed, and the crew’s very mixed fortunes in Gameweek 11 are reviewed, which proves an uncomfortable experience for Az.

There’s also the small matter of a Double Gameweek to look forward to in the New Year, due to West Ham’s FA Cup commitments.

    Do you think it is worth next week doing:

    Vardy & Grealish to Wilson & Bamford for free?

    I have a lot of value tied up in Grealish and he hopefully has a double GW on the horizon which is making me doubt it. No Bruno has hurt me though a few times this season, and obviously after defeat last night for Utd morale will be low. Will see how they do on the weekend.

    Already have KDB, Son, and Salah.

      Sorry fail! Vardy and Grealish to Wilson and Bruno! Top post too...

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I'd probably do it, does it have do be Wilson though? You can always get Grealish back when his doubles are confirmed.

        1. hustler7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          No it could be Watkins or Adams would only have 6.7 to spend. Just like Wilson's fixtures.

          I already have DCL & Bamford.

          1. CAREFREEE
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            I have Adams as I could only afford him as a Striker when I did Ziyech & Kane > Salah & Adams on Sunday morning.

            Already regretting Adams to be honest, as feedback from the match on Monday was that he didn't really seem to do a lot.

            If you've not yet done it, I'd stay away from him. Wilson is a much better choice if you already have DCL and Bamford.

            I'll be trying to get Wilson in for Adams over the next GW - hopefully I don't have other fires to put out!

            1. hustler7

              • 13 Years
              4 years, 12 months ago

              Yeah I will be rolling my FT this week so will not make the moves until next week.

              I'm not sold on Adams, Ings is back now though but not sure if that will have a positive or negative affect on him.

              Good luck!

              1. CAREFREEE
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 12 months ago

                Cheers mate!

                I always sound like I make sense when I reply to comments on here, whereas in my head I'm all over the place and can't make decisions!

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I don't like selling Grealish at all.

      But, I'm also not a fan of any team that doesn't have Bruno. So, yeah, on reflection it's probably worth it

      1. hustler7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks dude.

  2. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    What would be your preference out of these two for next GW?

    A) Vardy (C) vs BHA + Jota vs ful

    B) Salah (C) vs ful + Bamford vs WHU -4

    So basically, should I do Vardy + Jota > Salah + Bamford for a hit?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I did B, but with Wilson in instead of Bamford(have him). And Salah is now my C.

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        If you could choose, would you rather have Wilson or Bamford for the next few games?

    2. Mika-eel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I would do B. Think Salah's ceiling is higher.

    3. Offs!de
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Easily, B

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      B. Easy decision.

    5. hustler7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I would go B although I would wait until after the Pool game tonight to see what team Liverpool field and to make sure there are no injuries.

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      B

    7. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Thanks everyone, unanimous decision

  3. Offs!de
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Which combo look essential for coming weeks?
    1. Son+ Wilson
    2. Grealish + Ings?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Tough question and having the same dilemma over Grealish and Son. I prefer Ings over Wilson and Grealish has the 'better' fixtures so probably 2

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I will always pick Son but the combination with Wilson puts me off! Any other option apart from Wilson?

      1. Offs!de
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I already have Bamford and Watkins. So another option might be Adams

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Welbeck has great fixtures.

  4. Tonyawesome69
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    A. Justin/Cancelo and Grealish to max 4.1/4.8def and Salah -4
    B. Son to Salah - WC16 and bring Son back in

    PP for Grealish and Son are 7.1 and 9.0 respectively.

    1FT 4.3itb
    Martinez
    Chilwell Justin Cancelo
    Son KDB Bruno Grealish
    DCL Bamford Watkins
    (Peacock Ayling Taylor Bissouma)

  5. hewittj1
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Hey,
    What bench order would go for here this week?

    McCarthy Forster
    Dias Zouma Coufal Kilman Targett
    KDB Salah Fernandes Jota Son
    Bamford Watkins Brewster

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Coufal/Targett, Brewster and Kilman

  6. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I've already got kdb is it worth investing in jesus?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      no Aguero is due back soon

      1. NorwichCityLad
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Ok thanks

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Not even god would do it. 😉

    3. Mika-eel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I would rather go Ings and save some cash.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      i sold kane to jesus last week (no that didn't work out)
      sold him to fund salah this week
      go for it if you keep him for 3-4 weeks, wouldn't be too worried with Kun as I don't trust him to stay fit

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Feels like changing between playing 4 mids/3 fwds and 5 mids/2 fwds nearly every 2nd week.

    Right now the latter seems most popular.

    What do you think long term?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Maximise on the premium options in mid and cheap forwards - 352

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I’m covering every option. Can play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 whenever I need to.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I was playing 3 4 3 since GW 3. now changed it to 3 5 2. For me fixtures will dictate formation. In GW 14 I will go back to 3 4 3 for example.

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      3-5-2 is the best formation in my opinion.

      But, with the caveat that anybody who is planning a 3-5-2 with a 5.5-6.5 MFer in there, those people may as well go 3-4-3 with a 5.5-6.5 forward instead (Bamford, Watkins, Adams, Wilson).

      My cheapest MFer will be Grealish so it doesn't apply to me

    5. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      352 long term. All the premium midfielders look better than the premium forwards and I don’t fancy 3 budget strikers at all.

  8. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Anything to do here?

    McCarthy

    Robertson - Chilwell - Cancelo - Dallas

    Salah (C) - KDB - Jota (V) - JWP

    Kane - Watkins

    Bench: Martinez; Soucek; Lamptey; Brewster

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yes. Get some more cash in that front 8.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Agree with this

      2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Downgrade Robbo/Cancelo and upgrade who?

    2. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Money ITB, how many transfers? This changes the advice you get

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        £0.4m in the bank, 0 FT.

        1. BERGKOP
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          For this week, save.

  9. Prince17 Pulauwin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    i can't get salah without -4 , so what do u suggest me
    A. Save transfert and play KDB vs Bruno
    B. Risk a De bruyne to Aubameyang (c) vs burnley ( free transfert )

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Never Auba option!

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      A. Wtf are you thinking with B????

    3. Prince17 Pulauwin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      i want to bet on Arsenal uprising , u don't think Arsenal need a win and Auba need to score

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Needing a win and showing signs of a win are two different things. Let alone Auba's individual form and the swathe of other cheaper options that are actually delivering.

        1. Prince17 Pulauwin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          U are right that's why i said its a risk bet

      2. Seanigula
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        He’s needed to for 10 weeks and hasn’t

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      A....B, my goodness no!

    5. Prince17 Pulauwin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      there is a 3rd option
      C.sell DCL and get Wilson (c) vs WestBrom

  10. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Best 4.5ish DFer in your opinion?

    Have Justin & Lamptey already from that price bracket.

    I'm thinking probably Dallas or Coufal...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I wouldn't say best but Lewis could be a good option

    2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      not much between them both.
      I have both

    3. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Dallas

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

        That's the way I'm leaning too

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Any Leeds but Dallas the standout. Maybe Coufal. At a stretch Dier? Targett. Watch the scoutcast. They discuss it about 40mins in.

  11. tim
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Bench ok?

    McCarthy
    Zouma KWP Cancelo
    Salah(C) KDB Jota Bruno
    Watkins Ings Bamford

    Steert Targett Bissouma Mitchell

    CHEERS!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Probably play Targett instead of KWP

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Actually forget that. Based on the CS odds play KWP. Bench is fine https://twitter.com/FPL_Salah/status/1336218199923318784?s=19

  12. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    A.Ziyech to jota
    Or
    B. Ziyech and chilwell to son and konsa for -4?

    A means playing jota every week

  13. Coys96
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Tempting... thoughts?

    Sterling, DCL, Ziyech > Salah, Ings, Bowen (-8)

    Would leave me with:

    Martinez
    Dias Lamptey James
    Salah Son Mahrez Jota Bowen
    Kane Ings

    Forster Watkins Coufal Ferguson

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

      Nice transfers. Shame about the -8 part.

      You're asking a lot from the three you are bringing in handicapping them by 8pts off the bat

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Sterling to Salah could pay off alone no?

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Bowen to Soucek which allows Jota to Grealish soon/later

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I way prefer Bowen tbh. Would rather downgrade elsewhere I think

    3. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I would do it Ziyech 0 DCL against Chelsea...

  14. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Who makes place for Salah this week:
    a) Son
    b) Grealish

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      b

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Really tough.

      Obviously Son is better, and is good value for money. But, Grealish is like a big hitter who is even cheaper.

      My goal is to have a MF of; (I'm 3 transfers away!)

      Salah - KDB - Bruno - Son - Grealish

      So, I'm desperately trying to have both of those along with Salah.

      Gun to my head - sell Grealish

    3. Offs!de
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Grealish

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Neither

  15. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Am I ready to break into the top 2.5mil OR?

    Martinez
    Justin James Zouma
    (S)alah Son Bruno KdB
    Adams DCL Bamford
    Steer Soucek Taylor Mitchell

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Missed a good chance to list your defenders as 'James Justin'.

      Without quick wit like that, it means you'll stay down in the murky depths my friend, sorry.

      1. Seanigula
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        You’ll have some company down there Hazz

  16. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    2FTs and 1.2 ITB. Ziyech must go and Bruno is the only viable option to get in midfield, but very hard to generate money for him.

    A) Ziyech -> Jota (hope he will have minutes)
    B) Ziyech -> Pulisic (eased in?)
    C) Ziyech + PVA -> Bruno + Douglas (don't fancy non playing bench on festive period though)
    D) Ziyech + DCL-> Bruno + Adams/Watkins
    E) Ziyech + DCL + PVA -> Bruno + Wilson + 4.9 (-4) (would have done this move is Dier would have been 4.9 still..)
    F) Any other

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Coufal, Dallas
    Salah, KDB, Son, Grealish, Ziyech*
    DCL, Bamford

    4.0, Lamptey, PVA, Brewster

    1. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Would it be too sideways to do Ziyech to Mount

      1. KUNingas
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Hmm thanks, I haven't even considered Mount. Will look up to it

        1. Lazaretti
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          I have butt not sure what to do I would like Bruno next gw too

          1. Lazaretti
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            *Nicky but

          2. KUNingas
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Yeah I would really loved E option with Dier

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      You can hardly go wrong with Jota but a lot of managers don't understand that. As soon as he doesn't start a game they talk about needing to get rid. 😕

      He doesn't NEED to start every game and it doesn't matter in the slightest if he gets some 1-pointers. This isn't a 1-week game! If he were a regular starter at Liverpool he'd be a 10m player. Liverpool have the best attack in the PL and no more CL to concern them. Jota is a goalscorer and will score plenty enough when he plays to compensate for the reduced minutes - because none of them will play 90 in every game, not even Salah.

      A 7m player needs to be averaging something around 5 points per game to be delivering good value. That's 50 points over 10 weeks. It is barely conceivable that Jota won't do that; my estimate before I got him in was that he'd need to average 45-60 minutes per game to hit that level and it's hard to see Klopp not using him at least that much.

      Which is why I'd say that you can hardly go wrong (unless he picks up an injury or something but that applies with anyone).

      I'd suggest Ziyech & DCL >> Jota and Ings.

        Jota isn’t first choice. He’ll be used as an impact sub getting max 30mins a game with the odd start here and there

        1. Groot the Leveller

          But he's good enough to play x% of games so salah and mane and the other non scoring guy can actually get a rest during the packed program.
          I think x is high enough to punt on

          If you think so. I don't.

          He is 1 of 4 now in the way Klopp talks of him (and in terms of performances) and at least equal to Firmino within that. Sometimes Klopp will play all 4, sometimes he'll rest one of them. I'd expect Jota to play the least minutes of the 4 (or maybe similar to Firmino) but that's still going to be more than 30 minutes per game.

          You are obviously a Liverpool fan so perhaps you know better than me. It's also possible that you are too close to the club and the players you have formed a sympathy for over the years to see change when it happens.

          A similar thing happened with me as a Chelsea fan - I couldn't believe that James would supplant Azpi as first choice RB, partly because I know how immense Azpi has been over the years and how good a player he still is. But I was wrong, because I was too close to the club to see it. A mate, who is an Ajax fan, told me it was so at at the start of the season start he was right.

          We'll see. 🙂

    Best Ziyech replacement for -4. 9.5 to use.

    Kdb - Salah - Grealish - Klich
    Bamford - Adams - Jesus

    Or should I just bench him

    1. KUNingas
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Son could be the best option but 0.1 short?

      1. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        yes 0.1 short

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Son

      Dont bench

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

      In theory Rashford if you can't afford Son, but he has not been performing and Bruno looks like the only United asset to own

      1. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        true. but need to get some differentials Rashford could be one. Thank you

    If you really, really had to choose who to get rid of for Salah, who would you pick out of Bruno and KDB?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Kevin de Bruno

    2. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Don’t like it but.. Bruno i think

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I don't like it either.

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

      Bruno probably...

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      KDB

    5. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      KdB to get rid of if you put a gun to my head

    6. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      If you have to. I would think KdB is getting into form and City too. ManU not as good as City and Fernandes has been in good form which might slow down a bit

  19. DAVESAVES
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Hey all, help needed.
    Keep one;

    Grealish -4 (+Brewster)
    DCL (+Bissouma)

  20. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    1FT, 1.1 ITB - thoughts?

    Martinez, BPF

    Chilwell, Dias, Lamptey, Coufal, Mitchell

    KDB, Son, Fernandes, Grealish, Alzate

    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Kane and Grealish to Wilson and Salah?

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Hard, thinking about Kane and Grealish to Salah and Watkins myself for free. Think I might do it

    2. WWW.
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I would be tempted to save tbh

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Not think it's brave going without Salah?

        1. WWW.
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          It is brave, but would involve quite a bit of restructuring and I think you have a good team.
          If you just want Liverpool coverage you could do Alzate > Jota and DCL/Bamford > bench fodder
          If you want Salah gonna have to lose one of your big hitters

  21. Jdpz
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Kane+Son > Haller+Salah?

    And Haller or Watkins?

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Watkins. Wouldn’t lose both Spurs myself.

    2. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Kane&Son... there are rumblings that Haller will be benched, and Said-B starting at 9.

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        & while the Masuaku injury means Haller ultimately plays, Said-B is indeed looking like being at 9...

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

      Get Bamford or Wilson, Watkins is garbage player.

      1. Jdpz
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I have Bamford. Will Wilson play this week?

        1. ivantys
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Wait for news. Able to squeeze to Ings with a bit ITB?

          1. Jdpz
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Kane+Taylor > Ings+Robertson/TAA ?

            1. ivantys
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 12 months ago

              I guess you could do that if Wilson isn't playing, I would try to avoid having money stuck in defence since it will be harder to get back the money afterwards. Pool still haven't convinced me defensively.

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      No

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Have you compared kane to salah?. They look pretty even.
      Have you compared son to haller. Son wins easily.

  22. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Would you trade Werner Vardy Burke with Salah [C] Bamford Watkins for -8? Looking at mid term move here. Yes or No?

    1. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Watkins is total garbage, I rather Welbeck.

  23. Jdpz
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    What's with Newcastle? Will Wilson play this gw?

  24. JenkoJunko
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts on the below moves? I'm not set on them, would love some feedback? I'm chasing in my ML and trying to look for differentials as teams are too similar. Thanks and GL

    Squad: 2FTs 1.0 ITB
    Mcarthy Forster
    Chillwell Cresswell Lamptey (Kilmann Neco)
    KDB Bruno Ziyech Grealish (Bissouma)
    Vardy Bam DCL

    A. Ziyech / Vardy / DCL to Salah / Ings / Giroud or Wilson -4
    B. Ziyech / Grealish / Vardy to Salah / Pulisic / Watkins - 4

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

      I honestly wouldn't worry about differentials at this point.

      Concentrate fully on getting the most points for your team.

      Gw35 onwards you can think about differentials if need be

    2. WWW.
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Captain choices alone can make up the points at this stage

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

      Cheers.... both good points! I think its easy to get carried away. Thoughts on moves anyway?

  25. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Here's a simple choice I am faced with..

    A) Salah

    B) Son + Wilson + Jota

    1. WWW.
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Does having Salah force 442?

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Yes..

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      How is that a choice?

      You can't sell 3 players for Mo and have a squad on 13 can you?

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Of course it's a choice.

        If I want Salah il have to sell Vardy, upgrade Jota and have Brewster on the bench.

        Go for Son instead il upgrade Neto and sell Vardy for Wilson and keep Jota. Have Kdb + Bruno

        1. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Means I'm betting on Son/ Jota/ Wilson to outscore Salah

          1. Groot the Leveller
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            And I think the 3 players will...

  26. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    A.Ziyech to jota
    Or
    B. Ziyech and chilwell to son and konsa for -4?
    A means playing jota every week

    1. WWW.
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I assume you already have James? If so then B could work out

  27. Jdpz
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    McCarthy Nyland
    Konsa Chilwell Taylor Tierney Justin
    KDB Son Bruno Jota Bissouma
    Kane DCL Bamford
    0.5m itb., 2 free transfers

    I need Salah.

    A) Jota+Kane > Salah+Welbeck?? (forward under 5.7m)
    B) Son+Kane > Salah+Wilson/Richarlison (forward under 8.2m - 0.1m to Ings :()
    C) forget Salah: Kane+Taylor > Ings+TAA/Robertson

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      We have a similar front line, (i have grealish over bis), and the only route to salah I'm considering would be A -kane and jota.
      However, I compare kane to salah, and they look roughly comparable, and I am losing jota for bench fodder.

      Everyone will suggest A or B, but i can't bring myself to lose kane, until /if spurs start losing consistently, or salah consistently outscores kane by a jota margin

  28. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I was all set on Ziyech and Vardy to Watkins and Mo(c) but figured this move is better right for a hit?

    Out: Ziyech, Vardy, Sterling
    In: Son, Mo, Ings

    1. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I think it might be too early to get Ings. He might get reduced gametime with the upcoming busy PL schedule as he is just back from injury.

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        It’s a pure upside play, great next fix but agree. Just don’t like Watkins too much

  29. HaffNanner
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Currently have no Spurs and feel naked. Which group of these combos scores the most over the next few weeks?

    A. Robertson, Wilson, DCL

    B. Targett, Son, DCL (-8)

    C. Targett, Kane, Wilson (-8)

    Rest of team -
    Martinez
    Chilwell Dallas Masuaku
    KDB Bruno Grealish Salah
    Bamford

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Probably A, you can get them after couple of weeks

  30. Bielsa Murderball
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Is welbeck now a guaranteed starter?
