Saïss back in the goals as Wolves’ defensive problems persist at Brighton

Brighton 3-3 Wolves

  • Goals: Aaron Connolly (£5.2m), Neal Maupay (£6.1m), Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) | Romain Saïss (£5.1m), Rúben Neves (£5.2m)
  • Own goals: Dan Burn (£4.3m)
  • Assists: Leandro Trossard x2 (£5.7m) | Nélson Semedo (£5.4m), Adama Traoré (£6.1m)
  • Bonus points: Trossard x3, Neves x2, Dunk x1, Maupay x1

DO AS THE ROMAINS DO

Romain Saïss‘ (£5.1m) Fantasy Premier League comeback got even better in Gameweek 17 as he scored his third goal of the season in a 3-3 draw with Brighton.

Willy Boly‘s (£5.4m) most recent injury has helped the Moroccan international reclaim his place in the Wolves side regardless of whether Nuno Espirito Santo deploys a back-three or back-four.

Saïss has now started each of the last six Premier League matches, adding goals in two of the last three.

However, prospective suitors for Saïss might be put off by Wolves’ recent defensive problems. 

They have now conceded in each of their last 10 Premier League games, their longest run without a clean sheet in the top flight under Nuno. That run comes after they secured four shut-outs in the opening seven Gameweeks this season.

It is clear that chopping and changing between a back-three and back-four has not helped matters, Max Kilman (£4.1m) owners suffering especially from the lack of consistency with just two 90-minute outings since Gameweek 11.

But, on top of missing Boly, Wolves have also felt the adverse effects of losing the screening abilities of Leander Dendoncker (£4.7m) in central midfield, the Belgian absent from the last four matches with a knock.

Against Brighton, their four-man back-line was reliant on Rúben Neves (£5.2m) and João Moutinho (£5.2m) protecting the defensive third through possession rather than their off-the-ball offerings – something hard to do against a Brighton side with such a heavy focus on moving the ball about themselves.

But Wolves now have 10 days between Premier League matches, which could allow Dendoncker and Boly some time to get back to full fitness and boost their clean sheet potential ready for appealing matches against Everton (home) and West Bromwich Albion (home).

SEA-YA-GULLS

By contrast, the fixtures for Brighton are quite menacing indeed.

They are one of only 12 teams with a Blank Gameweek 18 fixture but considering it is at Manchester City, interest in their assets is likely to be low indeed – especially with Spurs (home) and Liverpool (away) coming up in Gameweeks 21 and 22. 

 Nevertheless, Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) was a standout player for the Seagulls in their 3-3 draw with Wolves, producing two assists and securing maximum bonus for an 11-point haul.

The Belgian is by no means in a purple patch in terms of converting his displays into points, those two assists his first attacking returns since Gameweek 4.

However, the underlying numbers have been mildly encouraging for him over the last four matches, his total of 11 key passes the eighth-best among all midfielders over their last four matches.

Meanwhile, Neal Maupay (£6.1m) is in a strong position to reclaim the centre-forward berth at Brighton.

Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) missed out on a starting place for the second match in a row due to a knee injury and Aaron Connolly (£5.2m) came at half-time with a knock.

“We had a game on Sunday and one on Tuesday, one day in between the matches. Neal’s had a big workload.” – Graham Potter

“We’re missing Danny Welbeck who still hasn’t recovered from a setback against West Ham.” – Graham Potter

That allowed Maupay to move forward from his central attacking-midfield role back into the striker position against Wolves, enabling him to win a quickfire penalty at the start of the second period.

Also with two goals in his last three for Brighton is Lewis Dunk (£4.8m). However, his colleague Adam Webster (£4.4m) can consider himself unfortunate not to have also found the net or registered a Fantasy assist.

He struck the crossbar with a second-half header before substitute Andi Zeqiri (£5.0m) skied the rebound.

Webster has actually registered more shots in the box than Dunk over the last four matches and is arguably more benchable for the upcoming tough fixtures Brighton face.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-2-1): R Sanchez; Burn (Lallana 69′), Dunk, Webster; March, Bissouma (Pröpper 46′), White, Veltman; Maupay, Trossard; Connolly (Zeqiri 46′).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (4-2-3-1): Patrício; Aït-Nouri, Saïss, Coady, Semedo; Neves, Moutinho; Neto, Vitinha (Kilman 64′), A Traoré; F Silva (Otasowie 87′).

    When using FH, will I then have 2 FT for the GW after?

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. thegaffer82

      Oh golly. Top of the page too

      No, you don’t have 2FT after

    Gerwyn Price has done it, World Champion

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could hit double for trying for 2 sets.

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years

      Incredible doubles in first 5 sets

    Bottomed sorry:
    FH GW18 draft any feedback welcome:
    Darlow
    Dias Cancelo Holding
    KDB Son Bruno Rashford Saka
    Kane Wilson

    Macey - Kilman Mitchell Brewster
    0.3 ITB

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I like it

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds about right, jealous here not using FH

    3. thom830g
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Strong team

    4. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same as mine apart from Tierney instead of Holding so I like it.

    5. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks everyone was just thinking of Maguire not Dias.

    6. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Like it. Almost identical to mine. I have Maguire instead of Holding/Tierney.

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

    Thinking now how could best save FH

    Thoughts on this plan welcome

    Week 18 Mané to KDB and Dallas to Stones (-4) and play 9 below

    Week 19 - already would have 12 plus Son Mitchell and Brewster so potentially either forget BB or take -8 to get full 15 and BB

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Mitchell
    KDB Bruno Son
    Watkins Brewster

    McCarthy Robertson Coufal Salah Raphinha Bamford

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

      Play TC and save BB for later.

      Not worth a -8 to upset the balance of your side and spend points on low yield players just because they have a double

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This.

      2. manu4life99
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

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

        100% this.

        BB is so risky with the amount of covid cases in the PL these days.

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s tricky as minus 12 will hurt your OR and sometimes it’s better to play a chip especially when the future is so risky this season.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am in the similar dilemma

      No BB and keep the following team DG19 - one transfer

      Martinez (Johnstone)
      -
      Cancello - Justin - Robertson (Dier-Ferguson)
      -
      Soucek-Salah-KDB-Sterling-Son
      -
      Watkins-Rodrigo (Brewster)

      Or a -8 and BB getting rid Robertson and going double west ham defence.

      Martinez (Johnstone)
      -
      Cancello - Justin - *Ogbonna* - Dier-*Coufal*
      -
      Soucek-Salah-KDB-Sterling-Son
      -
      Watkins-*Rodrigo*-*Bamford*

      On balance I think the -8 and BB is worth the risk - just about.

  5. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Transfer plans for BGW18 and DGW19 alright? 😉 Would make me able to WC24/25 BB26 and FH29

    Salah, TAA + Balbuena -> KDB, Dias, AWB (-4) leaving 2.1 ITB

    Team for BGW18:
    Martínez
    AWB - Dias - Mitchell
    (K)DB - Bruno - Son - Rashford - Grealish
    Welbeck - Brewster
    (Farrell, Robbo, Bamford, Coufal)

    Then Son + 2.1 -> Salah for free leaving me with these 11 DGW players:

    Team for DGW19:
    Martínez
    Robbo - Dias - AWB - Coufal
    Salah - KDB - Bruno - Rashford - Grealish
    Bamford
    (Farrell, Welbeck, Brewster, Mitchell)

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The cool kids are on this.

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

        Thats cool! 😀

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      DGW team is strong, BGW forwards are not in existence. Think those will balance out across two GWs.

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

        Thanks. I could take another hit to do Welbeck -> 5.5 or below (2 hits in total). Or I could upgrade Welbeck, but then I would have to downgrade Grealish to get Salah back also (3 hits in total instead of merely 1).

        I would just hope for a Brewster 2 pointer and Welbeck 2 pointer tbf.

        Still think my BGW18 team will somehow survive against the FH teams, and I hope I will be able to outscore those FH'ers in the WC24/25 BB26 and FH29 GW's by more points.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Am on the same strategy, only that my forwards are a bit better Kane DCL in BGW. Yours is stronger in DGW with Robbo in defence and Rashford in midfield. GL!

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

            Thanks Zico! How many hits are you taking over those GW's? I am pretty happy with a single hit resulting in these teams tbh.
            And GL to you too 😉

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice planning pal just a bit weak in 18 with no playing bench.

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

        I know it is a bit weak, but it's only the forwards, and I'm saving my FH chip 😛
        Expect defenders & midfielders to start. Anything more than 1-pointers from Welbeck and Brewster is a bonus 😉

        If Welbeck is out, then I could bring in McGoldrick (double up on dangerous SHU attackers! :D) or F. Silva!

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes understand what you are doing

    4. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very similar plan to this.

      GW18 - wing it
      DGW19 - TC
      GW24/25 WC
      DGW26 BB
      BGW29 FH

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        How did you get the wingit chip? Lol

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I also want it!

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

      Salary Hokey Cokey looks good!

  6. Going To Win This Year
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else ditching kane on FH to free up dosh for kdb (keeping son)

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

      I'm doing Kane to Vardy and Son to KDB

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

        Oops sorry didn't see you said for FH

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

      On FH surely you can find a way to keep Kane and have KDB too.

  7. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Help please!

    0.1 leftover for this free hit team, any thoughts? Press the button now?

    Darlow
    Cancelo/Tierney/Yedlin
    KDB/Fernandes/Son/Rashford/Saka
    Kane/Wilson
    (4.0/Mitchell/Brewster/4.0)

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

      Nice. You might as well go for it as prices are only going to rise and even if there is a doubt about someone you can always make another transfer later.

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

      I would wait.

      You can always downgrade Brewster to Davis and the 4m defender to 3.8 for more cash.

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Monitor price rises if your not sure. Why wait? I have 11 of that list.

    4. Going To Win This Year
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've got the same but dias instead of yedlin starting

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

    Wondering if there's any possibility of Son rising before KDB does, would make getting him back for next week a lot easier

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

      Yes but keep an eye on it, on FPLstats Son is about 80% and KDB about 30%

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

        Yeah and with Son's ownership compared to KDB's currently and the speed of KDB's rising I'm thinking even as early as tomorrow evening it could have turned around

  9. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Have Dias and KDB.
    Had planned getting Sterling this week as I am not using FH and want triple City. Cancelo is an option obviously I just think Sterling might give me the diff I need as I won’t BB either. However having watched the game it’s the same old Sterling who can be very frustrating to own or haul in any game. What ye think?

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

      Hasnt hauled much this year compared to previous seasons

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

      Unfortunately it's hard to tell with him, he was lucky his shot fell to KDB for his goal but he can be so frustrating and then go and score a hattrick in the next match. What I would say is that that was the first game in a while where City really looked to have clicked so it could very well be a good call

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

      Cancelo owner here... he’s bloody frustrating to own right now too. His stats are through the roof, he passes the eye test, rising in price...

      Gets no attacking returns 🙁

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

      Thanks for replies all. Thinking the same as ye but there was a blip today with the CS but they are good at the back and clicking going forward now. I still think I might go Sterling for a bit of a diff.

  10. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A - FH
    B- Salah and Trent -> Cancelo and KDB, GW 19 Son and Targett -> Salah and Strujik/Johnson
    Thanks all 🙂

    Martinez
    Targett Mitchell Stones (TAA) (Robbo)
    Son Bruno Burke (Salah) (Soucek)
    Kane (Adams) (Bamford).

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

      B especially if you have 2 FT
      You are set up pretty good for both weeks therefore I would save the FH.

  11. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which cheap-ish midfielder do you fancy for short and long term?
    El-Ghazi Raphinha Saka Traore Soucek Neto Gundogan Lookman

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

      In this order:

      Soucek
      El Ghazi
      Saka
      Gundo
      Traore
      Neto
      Lookman

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this

    2. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek - short and long
      El Ghazi - short
      Neto - long

  12. dsefton

    3 years, 2 months ago

    repost, thoughts on wildcarding this instead of free hitting?

    Current team for DGW, with GW18 FH strategy:
    Martinez
    Zouma Chilwell Robbo Coufal
    Salah Bruno Son Soucek
    Bamford Kane
    Bench: Nyland, Adams, Podence, Mitchell --> not sure this lot is worth a bench boost?
    not sure what I could do with 1ft & a hit to make this much better?

    Possible WC team:
    Martinez
    Maguire Stones AWB
    KdB Bruno Son (salah for DGW19) Soucek
    Bamford Watkins Kane (vardy for DGW19)
    Bench boost: Meslier, Dallas, Foden, Coufal
    This gives me 10 for BGW18 and I would do Son + Kane --> Salah + Vardy (for -4) to give 15DGW players

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

      Looks good, i like it!

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

      I'm thinking similar from a similar position - seems a great alternative strategy, but could all blow up in our face if a few games get called off in GW19. On the other hand, if there's a full lockdown we could get another WC out of that and would retain FH for later use! Best to wait till near next deadline to decide at least, so allow for losing a few 0.1s.

  13. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this please?
    Salah and KWP out
    KDB and AWB in (-4)

    Saves my FH for this gw18 team:
    Martinez
    Stones Bailly Taylor
    KDB Fernandes Grealish Son
    Kane DCL

    Then get Salah back for dgw?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oops remove Bailly for AWB

  14. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell or Maguire for DGW?

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

      Chilwell. But I think I'd rather 2 City defenders (assuming you already have 1).

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

        Stones and Cancelo

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

      Mah

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

      Maguire, but be wary he's on his 4th booking so could miss a game

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

        That’s what puts me off him

      2. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Does this not make Bailly even more worth getting?

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

          Worried he loses his place to Lindelof

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            But then Maguire might be out for a game

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

          Very hard to rely on him staying fit unfortunately, he's looked very good when he plays but I can't remember the last time he played a good number of games in a row without getting injured again. Not sure exactly what Lindelof's issue is but thought I read something about a back issue that might result in him being out for a fair while?

    4. thom830g
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell

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

      AWB

  15. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Coufal + stones
    Or
    Cresswell + targett

    Think first is way better personally

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your right.

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

      It is

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

      For sure top one

  16. thegaffer82

    For a one week punt only (as part of a Hokey Cokey involving Salah)

    A) Sterling
    B) Son
    C) Rashford

    In the space of two weeks, the pressure has shifted from Arteta to Lampard. All off the back of that Arsenal win vs Chelsea.

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

      Chelsea seem to be kick-starting everyone's seasons atm

    2. Je suis le chat

      Reckon Klopp put the kibosh on Frank with his comments.

      And two weeks before that it was Olé’s head on the chopping block...

      Mad season!

        From hero to zero and back to hero again in A couple of weeks, mad world, mad fpl

    4. Forever In Our Shadow

      It will swing one way and the other all season. It’s inevitable.

    How’s this FH team?

    Darlow
    Cancelo Dias Tierney
    KdB Son Bruno Rashford Saka
    Kane Laca

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good. Similar to what I have drafted, though I am only seriously going to look at it when the FA Cup games are out of the way.

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

      I prefer Mahrez/Foden over Rashford.Cancelo/Dias->Tottenham defender.

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Like it probably very similar to what I would have if I was using FH

    4. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very solid. Same exact team I'd want .7 short of it. Will likely downgrade Dias to Stones or a punt on Sanchez.

  19. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…

    Free Hit Question?

    When active e.g. money itb and squad value reflects that of your current free hit team put together.
    In the background you will still benefit/lose out with any price changes on your prior permanent team won't you? (i.e. the players you will revert back to that aren't in your free hit squad?)

    Cheers....

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  20. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I have 5 players this week and only 1 FT so defo gonna be using the FH.

    Is there any reason why I shouldn't just activate it now???

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I activated mine on Saturday morning. Sort of wish I had waited as I am not sure the price rises will make a difference to the team I put out.
      National Lockdown and full sport cancellation, would see me lose my Free Chip for nothing..... I think.....

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

        Yep, you would lose it if you played it & the country goes into lockdown again

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

          I don't reckon they'd make the mistake of running gameweek after gameweek of blank fixtures. More likely they'll just pause it this time and move the deadline.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Heard all sport could be cancelled. It is from Twitter though.

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You got a link mate?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Sure.

          1. Ozzy smith
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Ty.

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

        The writing is on the wall I’m afraid.

        The only hope is elite sport gets a pass

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

      Plenty are afraid the GW will be cancelled altogether due to covid which is fair enough.

      I activated early in order to not get priced out of getting the team I want. Postponements might happen any week from here until the end of the season imo.

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

      In your position it’s certain you will need to use the fh. When you do it is your choice. In these difficult times who knows what is happening with covid and what impact that could have on fixtures or even a break. Purely based on fpl I would activate though now.

  21. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you FH this team

    Martinez

    Semedo Keane Stones

    Son Fernandes Grealish

    Martial

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably no. Have you used your FT?

    2. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It would be Firmino > Martial

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

      No but I would bring in one more if possible.

  22. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How the FH18 looking? Chip not activated yet

    0.4itb
    Darlow
    Stones Cancelo Tierney
    KDB Bruno Saka Son Rashford
    Kane Wilson
    (4.0 Holding Mitchell Davis)

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good. Similar team but De Gea in goal and Laca and Watkins up front with Wilson. Using Saka and Dier as playing subs.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Not sure about utd def even though they are playing goal shy Burnley. Just seems to be a mistake in De Gea. Laca and Watkins both good options.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Playing against *

    2. Going To Win This Year
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto

  23. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hi what are the chances of stone playing both Gw18 and DGW19? Is his threat from Ake / Laporte ? Cheers

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ake most likely to play LB with zinchenko. Mendy probably out of favour after his latest antics. He is a rotation threat with Laporte imo

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ok cheers it’s difficult to decide whether to get stones or Cancelo

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think Cancelo is nailed for both LB and RB. Go with him

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yep love to but means getting sterling and cancelo rather than KDB & stone ?

  24. Amans94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you FH this?

    Dias
    Fernandes Son KDB
    Brewster DCL

    Only 5 players (Brewster customary 1 pointer) but have the big midfielders covered?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely yes

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably if you’ve only got 5

    3. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes 5 not enough

  25. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which WC team is better (BB in GW19):

    A) Martinez FABIANSKI
    Cancelo Stones MAGUIRE Robbo Coufal
    KDB Salah Bruno Raphina Soucek
    Bamford Watkins Rodrigo

    B) Martinez JOHNSTONE
    Cancelo Stones CHILWELL Robbo Coufal
    KDB Salah Bruno Raphina Soucek
    Bamford Watkins Rodrigo

    Any other suggestions welcome 🙂

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

      Will have Son and Martial in GW18 and moving them out for Salah and Rodrigo in GW19

  26. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Good enough to save the FH

    Dias Dier
    KDB Sterling Son Bruno
    Watkins
    ( Brewster and Bernardo)

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

      A. I can get to this using 1 of 2ft
      And then take 1 hit for 3 changes to 19 team
      B. Get another defender for a hit and take 2 hits in 19?

  27. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any rumours on Liverpool line up tomorrow?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably plugged all the leaks. Usual suspects have been found out

  28. thom830g
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez or DDG as set and forget?

  29. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
