Scout Notes

Mitchell benefits from Palace’s first clean sheet since Gameweek 1

Crystal Palace 2-0 Sheff Utd

  • Goals: Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m), Eberechi Eze (£5.8m)
  • Assist: Christian Benteke (£5.5m), James McArthur (£5.2m)
  • Bonus points: McArthur x3, James Tomkins x2 (£4.5m), Vicente Guaita x1 (£4.8m)

TYRICKSHANK RICKDEMPTION

Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) made a swift return to the Fantasy Premier League spotlight in Gameweek 17 as he played all 90 minutes of Crystal Palace’s 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

The left-back was a key component of budget defensive rotations earlier in the campaign but lost his place to Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) in Gameweek 7.

After going nine Premier League matches without registering a single minute, Mitchell came back for the Gameweek 16 draw with Leicester in what appeared to be Roy Hodgson exercising some festive rotation

However, against Sheffield United, the 21-year-old held onto the left-back berth six days after Crystal Palace’s Gameweek 16 fixture, the fact that van Aanholt was on the bench again heavily indicating Mitchell has established himself in the first team once again.

How often his 15.1% ownership will start him in the coming weeks remains to be seen considering the Eagles’ next two matches take them to Arsenal and Manchester City.

Meanwhile, their clean sheet on Saturday was just Palace’s second of the campaign, the first since Gameweek 1. And, of course, it was recorded against the Premier League’s worst attack Sheffield United, who have scored just eight goals in 17 matches so far (0.5 per game).

Still, finally having another starting defender in this price bracket could come in very handy over the coming weeks, especially with Max Kilman (£4.1m) recently losing his place for Wolves.

THAT WAS EZE

Wilfried Zaha (£7.4m) could be on the chopping board for his 22% ownership ahead of Double Gameweek 19. 

Palace have just one fixture in that round, arguably one the hardest possible in a trip to Manchester City, who have the joint-best home defence this season (seven goals conceded).

He goes into the mini chip season on the back of five blanks from a possible six since Gameweek 12, his only goal in that time coming against Leicester.

In Saturday’s win over Sheffield United, the Ivory Coast international did play well, driving the ball forward for Palace’s opening goal, only to end up the assister for the assister. He crossed to Christian Benteke (£5.5m), who teed up Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m) for the finish.

It was Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) who stole the show against Sheffield United though, pressing into unguarded space in Sheffield United’s midfield and shrugging off Ethan Ampadu before rolling a cultured finish beyond Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m) in first-half stoppage time.

While the former QPR man only has one goal in the last three Gameweeks, it is worth highlighting that is the same number as Zaha, who has played more minutes in that time.

After missing out on the starting XI in Gameweeks 16 and 17, any questions over Eze’s place in the team were eased by a first-half injury to Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m), as well as his impressive performance.

After scoring the game’s opening goal, a hamstring issue forced the former Leicester man off, which Hodgson described as “concerning”. 

“[The injury to] Benteke is a dead leg. Schlupp is more concerning. A muscle injury, his hamstring.” – Roy Hodgson

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Kouyaté, Tomkins, J Ward; Schlupp (Eze 40′), Milivojevic (Riedewald 90+5′), McArthur, A Townsend; Zaha, Benteke (Ayew 48′).

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Stevens, Egan, Ampadu; Osborn (Hackford 80′), Fleck, Norwood, Basham, Bogle; Mousset (Brewster 61′), McGoldrick.

    Anyone else got Bellerin. Did he go off due to injury?

    I’m hoping Dias doesn’t play as I’ve got Souey on the bench.

    1. Parsnips
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He was on a yellow, Arteta didn't want to risk it.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but dissapointed as kept him all this time. RMT keeps promising big too...

      Think he was hooked coz of the YC?

  2. SharkyJon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best FH Combo:
    A) Sterling and Watkins (already have KDB)
    B) Son & Martial (already have Bruno + Rashford)
    C) Kane and Grealish
    Thoughts?

    1. AgentFern
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C would give you more balance I think

      1. SharkyJon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agree, think it is my pick two, Grealish can score points against anyone, also means i can double up on Man City defenders!

    2. puhd

      C

    Who to get for Kilman and Reguilon? In preparation for DGW. 0.1 in the bank

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep kilman. He may get a run.

  4. Going Home

    Assume that all the people holding back their chips aren’t familiar with the Porter from Macbeth. You should be wary of the “farmer that hanged himself on the expectation of plenty".

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Usually I play the gw in front of me but this is no ordinary season and good to have something up your sleeve for later.

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

        If I had ten players this week, I wouldn’t consider the FH. But guys going in with 7 (including Mitchell/Brewster etc) in the hope that a “better” GW comes along later seems brave/foolish

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

      Or to paraphrase that scene from Jaws "We're going to need a bigger Kevin"

    3. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Beware the Voids of March...

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There is already another known DGW that isn't massive currently but will inevitably become bigger, and we'll also inevitably see some other DGWs for individual teams as there are still a good few games to be rearranged. I get your point though, but this isn't a normal scenario and in this case it's not hoping for a good opportunity to need chips for later on but knowing that there will be chances there.

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

        I guess it’s different approaches for different people. For me, I’d always rather FH a BGW as it covers guaranteed zero returns. SGW players can still return well in a DGW. I may be disappointed in GW29(?) (FA Cup quarters), but who knows which fixtures will be going ahead that week? Too many variables to accept going out with 6/7/8 players this week imo

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely true and it's also really about where you are with your team. I haven't been building towards anything in particular (more than anything I keep an eye on the next batch of fixtures for everyone, but I don't like the idea of building a whole team centred around one week or so, and the unpredictability of things this season naturally has an effect). I've been lucky as well to an extent, I've taken -8 this week as I wanted Kane in just for this week against Leeds and probably next week so that was a -4 I was okay with, and then Taylor got injured which meant I had to replace and Holding did exceptionally better than I could have hoped for, and both of those will work out for next week now leaving me with 10 players for the BGW so I have no real need to use anything. Weirdly enough I'm still in a decent spot to BB in DGW19 but I'm not confident it's the right call with covid cases and rotation currently so I'll likely leave it, but that all together is where I am and how things have worked out for me but by no means will that be the case for everyone.

          That all being said, I'm normally too trigger happy with my chips so I'm trying to be sensible while not wasteful in just holding for the sake of holding, last season I held my TC until the last day and wasted it so your message definitely still rings true for me but at least this time I have a better idea of when I'm looking to use it rather than just sticking it on some week in random hope.

    FH team, thoughts on it? 🙂

    Darlow
    Cancelo Stones Lawton
    KDB Bruno(c) Saka Son Grealish
    Laca Watkins Kane

    1. AgentFern
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley will concede, is there another Def you can pick?

    2. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins and Lawton. Wh defender. Wilson?adams?

      1. AgentFern
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        My bad, I,m playing Mitchell instead of Lowton

    3. fplking14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson instead of Watkins. Dias instead of Stones, he's more nailed. And put Tierney in.

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        How would I work around the budget tho? On 0.0 atm

        1. fplking14
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Watkins against a Spurs defence, he won't do anything.

          I'm an Arsenal fan and Laca isn't nailed. You can downgrade Laca or Grealish. Neto for Grealish seems a good move again because of Spurs defense.

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

      Why have you got eight costly attackers?

  6. puhd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy Captain, wish me luck!
    Got Soucek on bench, played Adams over him...

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Good luck mate!! I have Vardy nice brace would be delicious!!!

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

      Vardy blank I reckon ,

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As long as we win I'll be happy. I'll let Vardy have one goal.

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same. Need it after picking him over Kane this week!

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I heard a rumor Adams won't play. U might get lucky

  7. ReadyGestedeCook
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    RMFHT:

    de Gea
    Tierney Dias Cancelo (Saiss)
    Bruno(C) Son Saka Pogba (Grealish)
    Kane Laca Wilson

    1. AgentFern
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Downgrade DDG to upgrade pogba?

      1. ReadyGestedeCook
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        could do.

        defo want double utd mid but rashy is a big 1.8 swing.

        no love for Pog in new position?

        think he'll be gold if he wants to move this Jan and utd want to add a few £'s to his fee.

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

      I'd want KDB for the blank. He could be the top scorer that week.

      1. ReadyGestedeCook
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Only feasible way without majory surgery is...

        Son --> KDB
        Grealish --> McGinn (keep the bench warm)

        Had such an unfruitful time owning KDB this season (except Fulham game...) so still not totally convinced

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm attacking that ManCity-Brighton game with KdB+Sterling/Aguero and you're going with 0 attackers is interesting.

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

        100%. Brighton are awful and have lost their DCM cover with Biss suspended.

        Avoid aguero imo, but KDB and Sterling could run riot. Even maybe Mahrez/Bernardo but probably too big a risk with pep roulette

        1. ReadyGestedeCook
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Biss suspended due to yellows? didn't realise but that's huge.

          might have to squeeze king kev in there

          1. ReadyGestedeCook
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            thanks 🙂

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

            Yeah, got his fifth yesterday. That was what nailed me for the city mid double up (Raheem and Kevin)

  8. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez
    Dias Dier Taylor*
    Grealish Bruno Son

    Is this a good enough team for GW18 or should I FH?
    I could also do Adams to Wilson to have 7-8 players?

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

      Since Taylor may not play, that leaves you with 6. Too light imo

      1. fplking14
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I could do Adams for Wilson for 7. Plus its more about quality than quantity.

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

          Wilson is a good addition. I agree entirely about quality. But I would be worried about not owning any City attacking players, despite their poor form. FOMO, I know, just my opinion. I think KDB is the standout captain option.

          1. fplking14
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for the advice. I was leaning to play my FH. If I was to play my FH, how would you suggest I navigate the next BGW?

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

              You’ll know more in advance, so can start lining yourself up in advance (saving FTs etc). Also you could then play your second WC to make sure you’re set up for DGWs which follow

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

              I am not sure which teams and how many will blank, so sorry I can’t help you there

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Play safe go FH in your case

    GW18 Captain

    KDB vs Brighton (H)

    Bruno vs Burnley (A)

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KdB

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years

        You're outnumbered mate!

    2. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno

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

      I think it has to be Bruno due to form and ownership.

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

      Bruno

    5. fplking14
      • 9 Years

      Bruno

    6. AgentFern
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno, I have both and going with Bruno

    7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno

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

      KDB. Burnley won’t be a walk in the park whereas I expect Brighton not to park the bus which in theory should suit KDB better

      1. Nightrain_
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Still unsure about City's attack nowadays and beside, Sterling could get the goals, maybe Bruno is a safer pick

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

        This.

    9. Debauchy

      KDB

    10. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Head says Bruno but heart says KDB, City nearly always stuff Brighton

    11. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno only hauls when i VC. I'll be going KDB. 😛

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Please V© Bruno !

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I will do it for the good of the team.

    12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Go with the player with second most points instead of the player with 32nd most points.

      1. Fit of Pique
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi all

    Would you say Tierney and Saka is enough Arsenal for a FH team or would you do the triple-up with Laca?

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Triple

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

      Enough IMO

    3. ReadyGestedeCook
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Triple unless Laca plays in the cup

    4. fplking14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal fan here. Tierney and Saka are our best two players. If you want to punt on laca you can but he isn't nailed and only performing well because Saka and Tierney are.

      1. Nightrain_
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        hello mate, do you think Holding will retain its place ?

        1. fplking14
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think so. He's been playing ok but prone to the odd mistake. Arteta likes him and Gabriel at the back. Gabriel will probably be back for the Palace game so he will revert to those 2 and Mari will be benched.

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Triple up could be really good.

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

      Thanks all.

      Think I will stick with those 2 and just go with Kane and Wilson up front.

    7. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Going Kane Wilson Agüero up top as I don't trust Lacazettes place still.

      Agüero will probably become Lacazette though if I'm not sure Aguero starts.

  11. Mok
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you FH this?

    Leno
    Mitchell Cancelo
    Fernandes Son KDB
    Watkins Martial

    Thanks

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No.

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

      I'd just bring in 1 or 2 defenders and leave it at that.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

    Hi all, which combo is best for DGW 19 please?

    A: Rashford and Vardy
    B: Son and Vardy
    C: KDB and Lacazette? (Or maybe Abraham; will have £8.5 for striker slot with KDB)

    Thanks!

    Current team (£3.1M itb):
    Martinez, Forster
    Chilwell, Robbo, Cancelo, KWP, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Soucek, Son, Raphinha
    Adams, Bamford, DCL

          Yes

      Yes

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I pretty much have to, otherwise I'm playing dross like Welbeck and Kilman.

        Nah i'll save that bad boy for later in the season i think 🙂

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Means you can save FH though, depends which you feel will be more useful later.

  14. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I can get this team in week 19 with no hits, seem reasonable? Will probably use TC but possibly not. FH 18.

    McCarthy
    Robertson, Dias, Cresswell
    Grealish, Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Raphinha
    Antonio (if fully fit), Bamford

    Martin, Taylor, Welbeck, Kilman

  15. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is this for a -4 good enough or should I FH?

    Martinez
    Stones • Mitchell
    Bruno • KDB • Son • Rashford • Grealish
    DCL • Brewster

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years

      Looks ok to me.

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      More than good enough

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What's the plan with Salah?
      I wouldn't FH

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Money itb for Son/Rashford to Salah/Mane

  16. SharkyJon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Score out of 10 for this FH Team?

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If Ederson is back by gw18 can u do Ederson and Tierney? Then it's 10/10

        1. SharkyJon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          ta, but no sorry this is with zero in the bank!
          Do have a playing bench too though...Sanchez, brewster, Targett and Clark as want to guard against any postponements!

  17. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Are Saka and Smithrowe now much better options than Soucek? Arsenal have looked good with the youngsters playing.

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

      I'm switching to from Soucek to Saka after the DGW I think.

      Although you could feasilbly have both to enable a front line of Vardy, Kane and Bamford in a 3-4-3 which would be nice.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hmmm. Maybemaybe

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me. Arsenal have provided false dawns for the past 3 years (except Auba)

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But for those prices surely worth the risk?

  18. Booked4Dissent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo is playing today. Man City just posted a stat attack video for the fixture with Cancelo as one to watch.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nice

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't say it means anything

      1. Booked4Dissent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would. People in control of official social media accounts are in the know.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Liverpool posted a picture including Hyypiä, Owen and Sturridge before last game and none of them started the game for example.

          1. Booked4Dissent
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Fair point. The post, coupled with images of him at the training ground, should give belief though

      2. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But nice spot anyway. Maybe we should analyze if the social media posts actually are worth spying on? This week Long also on Southampton cover and now this.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's positive - shame he's on my bench though

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

      Last GW Fulham posted something similar on their Twitter account just 2 hrs before the scheduled start. We all know what happened. Social media teams have their posts calendar set for a month in advance.

  19. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had no choice but to play FH this GW due to only having 5 players, how is this looking as a draft?. Probably quite template but I’m feeling satisfied with it, any feedback much appreciated;

    Darlow
    Tierney Dias Cancelo
    Son Bruno Grealish KDB Saka
    Kane Lacazette

    Subs; Steer Mitchell Kilman Brewster

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy(C) hattie badly needed to save my GW...

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      I'm with u brother

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        good to see there are others who play their own game rather than following the herd,,,,

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

      This would send me out of the cup if so...

      1. Chucky

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      In the same boat. Chose Vardy over Kane so need him to at least match him.

  21. zotter
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth taking a £0.3m value hit on Salah to switcheroo around 18/19?

    Can field 8 players without using FH however involves taking that 0.3m on Salah

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm weighing this up too. Who would you get?

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        GW18
        Chilwell to Dias or Cancelo
        Salah to Kdb or sterling

        GW19
        Son to Salah
        DCL to Antonio or Adams

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

    That Leicester side looks very strong besides Albrighton. Needs Pereira though

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Today's team leaked?

      1. Flair

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Care to share?

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Useful, underrated player is Albrighton. Helps the rest of the team tick.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Respect, he's a PL chanpion

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Champion

  23. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it too risky to activate FH already?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm making transfers to catch the rises. Not activating as there is a small chance i want to WC.

  24. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth doing Anguissa > Smith Rowe to get another player for GW18? I'm not using FH.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      looking at bissouma to s rowe, then keep as bench fodder

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah it's good if he continues to play. Otherwise I like Anguissa and Bissouma as they are guaranteed minutes.

        1. Gizzachance
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          True had bissouma since gw1
          Ok bench fodder if needed, not sure on rowes game time
          Cheers

  25. FootballDog

    help plz on this... for GW18 only

    Martínez
    Dias / Taylor / Saïss
    Fernandes / Salah / Son / De Bruyne
    Bamford / Watkins / Calvert-Lewin

    Bench: McCarthy / Coufal / Lookman / Dallas

    0.3 itb, 1FT

    1) sell Taylor > Holding
    2) sell Taylor > Holding & Lookman > Saka for -4
    3) Taylor to another defender up to 4.8
    4) other options?

    Is this a strong enough 8 to avoid free hit? Have no plans to play it as it stands as not convinced by Arsenal and don’t like the fixtures in BGW18

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think so yes

    2. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No need to FH with that lot.

  28. Super Nashwan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Got 8 players for blank gameweek. Not bench boosting in 19 as not enough decent players on bench.
    Considering free hit in 18 but can I just check something.
    So gameweek 26 is a double and I could wildcard in 25, bb in 26 then would I need free hit for 29 because none of the double gameweek players play in that? Is that correct? Seems a lot of people are free hitting now but that will limit you a lot later?

  29. flippetyflop
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you guys FH this team?

    Looks pretty weak but unsure whether it's worth waiting for the Blank GW later in the year.

    Martinez
    Dias Semedo Maguire
    Son Fernandes
    DCL Wood

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How many FT?

      1. flippetyflop
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry should have been clearer - that's after my FT bringing in Maguire

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I’d play FH

  30. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set for DGW BB before ManC got the extra fixture. Have used a transfer on James to Dias. Think I have to move Mane to KdB or Sterling and maybe Balbuena to Stones.

    Sterling or KdB?
