Which Double Gameweek 19 players are the Scout Network considering?

Double Gameweek 19 is just around the corner and there is a vast array of Fantasy Premier League assets to choose from.

We spoke to the Scout Network to see who they’re thinking of snapping up.

Scout Network: Which players should we target for double Gameweek 19? 2

West Ham team sorted by FPL returns from Jumpers for Goalposts

West Ham have an appealing home Double Gameweek with both Burnley and West Brom visiting the London Stadium. Both opponents have failed to score many goals so far this season and thus these games so could be a perfect chance for a Hammers defender to earn a clean sheet.

Aaron Cresswell seems to be the safest option having played in all games so far and returned points in 53% of them (see above graphic on West Ham). If Michail Antonio is fit then he could also be a great option for goals, with Sebastien Haller leaving the club and no replacement being brought yet there will be a lot of pressure on Antonio to play both.

Finally of the bigger teams, Manchester City also have two home games, although rotation is always a risk, a safe option into clean sheets will be from either Ederson or either of their centre backs John Stones or Ruben Dias. Offensively, Kevin De Bruyne always looks the safest from rotation and thus will likely play both matches, especially as he is the Man City captain.

With Sergio Aguero now in self-isolation, then Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling could share the main forward role, although Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden have both had a stab at it in recent matches while De Bruyne has also occupied a false-nine role more than once.

Kane and Son proving difficult to sell ahead of Double Gameweek 19

Looking ahead to Gameweek 19 and one of the main things I think worth mentioning is the fast turn-around between Blank Gameweek 18 and Bouble Gameweek 19. While the move of the Chelsea and Fulham derby from Friday night to Saturday night does give us FPL managers more time, it’s still a very quick turnaround. So, my first tip is to think of some transfers you’d like to make ahead of Double Gamweek 19, but stay flexible in case circumstances change again. 

Another tip would be, don’t get to tied up in having a full-team of Double Gameweek 19 players with two matches. History has shown us that single Gameweek players can often outscore doublers. If you have Harry Kane or Son Heung-min, for instance, I would seriously consider if it’s worth selling them on for Double Gameweekers or not.

Son and Kane are the top point-scorers in their positions thus far, on 132 and 125 respectively, and they face a Sheffield United side in Double Gameweek 19 that are still really struggling this season, having kept one clean sheet all campaign.

Lastly, my plans have somewhat been thrown-off as I was set-up well for the Gameweek 19 Bench Boost before additional Manchester City and Manchester United fixtures got moved into this round.

This has me reconsidering using the chip now, as I will need to make getting a City asset a priority for Gameweek 19 based on their fixtures. Given their price, I may need to skim money from other players, this may result in making my bench weaker and therefore rendering my bench boost less appealing as a result. So, I’ll revert back to my first tip, and keep my ear to the ground for information, make some notes and keep track of any deadline changes before settling on my Gameweek 19 chip strategy.

Ted Talks FPL

With Haller joining Ajax, West Ham must be confident that 1.9% owned Antonio must be back to full fitness, certainly in the short-term. He looks to be an excellent pick for Double Gameweek 19 where the Hammers play Burnley and West Brom, both at home.

If you’re in need of a budget enabler and have a spare Manchester City spot, why not opt for 1.8% owned Ilkay Gundogan. He’s started the last four and has three goals in that time. He looks to be assured of a regular place in the starting eleven, playing in the double pivot alongside Rodri. Out of the two, he’s the one who likes to get in to the box. He has 10 shots, four of them big chances, in the last six, with eight chances created to boot. A Double Gameweek of Crystal Palace and Aston Villa is an appealing prospect.

2.3% owned Hakim Ziyech returned from injury in the loss to Manchester City in Gameweek 17 and pulled the strings in Chelsea’s 4-0 win against Morecambe in the FA Cup. If Chelsea are going to get back in their stride, he will have to be instrumental in that task. Chelsea travel to Fulham and Leicester in the Double Gameweek.

Ted Talks FPL

FPL Family

Double Gameweek 19 is the biggest gameweek of the season so far for us as FPL managers. There is so much chatter in the FPL community about Triple Captains, Bench Boosts, Wildcards and Free Hits that it is difficult sometimes to assess what is the best thing.

Couple this with a climate of change, games being moved or postponed with short notice, and we need to ensure that we are making our decisions as late as possible to ensure that we are making them with the most up to date news possible to protect our teams as best we can.

Loading up on Double Gameweek 19 teams feels like a good idea, however there are a number of single gameweek players, the likes of Kane, Son, Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Saka, who have excellent single Gameweek fixtures and shouldn’t be over looked.

Liverpool will be an interesting team for this week. On paper they have two nice fixtures, both at home where Liverpool have a fantastic unbeaten record. However their recent form in the Premier League has been disappointing with a 1-0 loss to Southampton and draws with Newcastle and West Brom in their last three matches. In those three matches Mohamed Salah has blanked every time, thus with many managers considering Triple Captaining him in Double Gameweek 19 will perhaps rightly begin to question whether it is the right moment to deploy that chip.

Even with Salah’s last three disappointing returns I will still hold him through this week as it seems counterintuitive to remove a player with a set of double fixtures. Salah has also performed well against the other big-six sides this season scoring seven against Spurs, nine against Man City and five against Arsenal. In the reverse fixture against Fulham, Salah scored and registered one bonus for an eight-point score. I suspect we’ll see a return to form for Salah in Double Gameweek 19 as many FPL managers look to remove the Egyptian King in favour of other premium assets.

What’s happening in the Scout Network?

Scout Network: Thinking ahead to the blank and double Gameweek in 18 and 19

This week will see the launch of the new Scout Network podcast Scout The Gameweek hosted by Sam from the FPL Family. This week Sam will be joined by Ted Talks FPL to discuss Gameweek 19 and take a look back on blank Gameweek 18.

Ted Talks FPL

At the start of the new year, Ted Talks FPL went through a re-branding, designing a new logo that has the ability to seemlessly integrate with his new charts & animations. All of Ted’s social headers were also updated with an alternative style, also intended for YouTube video thumbnails.

Between Christmas and New Year, Ted also appeared on Scoutcast Matchday with Gianni, Rich and Seb. Last week Ted produced a mega thread, answering the key questions regarding Gameweek 18.

This week Nymfria joined Brandon and Josh from Always Cheating for a chat on navigating the Blank Gameweek 18 and Double Gameweek 19

El Statto

El Statto’s first article of 2020 was a great success. He looked at the Gameweek 18 fixtures and tried to highlight the stand out picks from each game with the focus on those managers playing the Free Hit team and who are building their squad from scratch.

    What's the disadvantage, if any, to playing WC GW25 and using BB GW26 ?

    Thanks.

    1. Christophe Savage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Long time to carry a heavy bench for the remainder of the season .

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That tactic makes BGW29 very tough considering the teams that have a DGW in 26 don't play in 29. So your BGW team will be very bare.

  2. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years

    Kane + DCL + Raphinha to:
    A- Vardy + Antonio + Foden
    B- Vardy + Antonio + Mount
    B- Watkins + Antonio + KDB

    Cheers

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A for me

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A for sure out of those

      Is that for a -4 or -8?

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A looks the best, but no KDB is scary

  3. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This makes sense doesnt it?
    I think...

    Son, Kane > Salah, Vardy

    Gives me front 8 of

    KDB, Bruno, Salah, Grealish, ESR
    Vardy, Bamford, Antonio

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

      Looks good

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For a hit?

      It could work but very risky imo. Salah is becoming hit and miss on returns and Vardy just back. We know Kane and Son have the quality to haul .....

      Could def work though

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        -4
        If it was with a sub par striker e.g. Wilson I probably wouldn't but think Vardy is a risk worth taking

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

    A. Watkins, Cresswell
    B. Antonio, Zouma

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Are you certain Watkins is gonna start?

    3. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  5. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool failed to score in last three PL games and sturggled against villa kids in first 45 mins

    Do you think one could get away with no Salah or Mane, especially if not captain them?

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be scared going Salahless
      See above, Son could make way for him

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same problem for me below, need a hit to get him but it’s still tempting, problem is it also means losing Lacazette and Rashford

      I think I will go without

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am going without Salah.
      Have Bruno KDB and Sterling. Son too.

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going with zero Liverpool

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think I can get away with a hold and bench boost here?

    Areola / flappyanski
    Stones,Cancelo,coufal,holding,Maguire
    Bruno, kdb, souceck, rash, Smith-rowe
    Kane, laca, bam

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah - nice squad that but hold out for news on Flappy

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, he was my only concern, let’s see

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

          He was pictured in training 5 days ago so he should definitely be fine

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      id bench boost that team, yes

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say yes mate

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Trying to avoid taking hits to ditch premium players just because of a DGW. Are either of these options any good?!

    A) Raphinha, KWP, Adams > Foden, Stones, Brewster/ Davis (-8) - Play 4-5-1:

    Martinez (x2)
    Robbo (x2), Dias (x2), Stones (x2), Coufal (x2)
    Salah (x2), Bruno (x2), Son, Soucek (x2), Foden (x2)
    Kane
    (Forster) (Bamford, Dallas, Brewster)

    B) Same as above but with an additional -4 (total -12) to do Forster > Johnstone/ Areola and play BB

    The way I see it, Foden + Stones should be able to outscore Raph, KWP + Adams by over 8pts over two matches.
    The temptation with B) is that for the sake of another 4pts I am unlocking a minimum of 10 points from my bench.....

    Keen to hear your thoughts!
    Cheers

  8. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Only for the Double which one?

    A) Johnstone

    B) Areola

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        you serious? chelsea and united for areola, while johnstone has wolves and west ham

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      a

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A for this week.

      Areola potentially useful for future doubles though

    4. philosopherking
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  9. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years

    Dier to Cresswell for -4?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. FPL price manipulators are …

        Thank you Simpson character

      Indeedy

  10. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth a -8 for Areola Soucek and Antonio in for Forster Romeu and DCL to hit bench boost?

    Would have 12 DGWers plus Dallas Son Bamford

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say yes

  11. wattalowz
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chances RJames starts both DGW19 games?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep

      2. Boly Would

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Back training yesterday I believe...

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

      75% imo. I think unless he is feeling the injury he'll play both. They can't afford to drop him for Azpi.

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On a -4. FH intact.

    Areola
    Cancelo Cresswell AWB
    KDB(C) Sterling Bruno Son
    Wilson Bamford Antonio

    9 Dgwers with Bamford and Son.

    G2G??

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

      Looks good

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

      Looks good to me.

    3. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No Liverpool would scare me.

  13. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Areola or Johnstone for the Double?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer Areola now.

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

        Feels sensible, 2 home games too albeit against stronger opposition.
        Although good chance to rack up some save points

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Areola

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      johnstone

      1. Big boy Bowen

        Thanks all

    4. Don Kloppeone

      I'm torn tbh

      Fixtures say Johnstone this week but Areola good to have for later doubles also

    5. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      My Johnstone and another's Areola

    Sterling grabbed the ball, asked KDB if he could take Pen & KDB said "Okay"

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fook him

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And did you see the state of Sterling before the pen - looked all wild-eyed and out of it... was a very weird situation

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

      Hes a grade A moron. As bad as Big Man Barkley

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kev really needs to start pulling rank more on greedy fools like Sterling and Mahrez

      Mahrez was trying to get taking the Indirect Free Kick in the box in the first half but KDB rightly told him to back off, his conscious might have been at him in saying no twice in one game

      Too nice for his own good

  15. All about the galacticos
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Coufal owners not worried he may be rested? There two days between GW15 & GW16 (rested)

    1. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He was rested against Southampton wasn’t he? My guess is he would play. Maybe subbed off around 60 in one of the game.

      1. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        this one has 3 days between games, so there maybe better chance

    2. Do I Not Like Orange

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        *not worried enough to be considering a transfer

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

      Well he's the least of my worries right now.

      I'm just trying to figure out if I want to go without Salah or not.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      In Mother Russia, the game takes a rest from Vladimir, not the other way around

  16. chaser123

    If you're not using BB, is now the best time to TC?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going chipless this GW. Neither KDB nor Salah have given me any confidence in trusting them with a chip, and Bruno could get a yellow vs Pool.

  17. Maverick 11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Am I crazy? Thinking about doing a -16 so I can BB
    Martinez/Johnston
    Coufal, Cresswell, Stones
    Salah, Mane, Bruno, Pogba, Lookman
    Kane, Bamford
    Holding Ayling Brewster
    Considering Kane Lookman Ayling Brewster- Antonio Watkins Foden Cancelo

      Not just crazy, you’re clearly insane. How much are you expecting from bench boost?

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      if you ever take a -16 in any scenario you should just give up FPL

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

        Agreed. I have never taken more than a -8 in my entire FPL career.

    3. Maverick 11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thought so

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

    4. philosopherking
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A decent BB only gets you 20-25 points. Not worth a -16.

  18. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which option here:

    A) Son + DCL --> KDB + Brewster (-4)
    B) Kane + Raphinha + DCL --> Antonio + KDB + Brewster (-8)

  19. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    West Ham manager David Moyes is a huge fan of Mipo Odubeko - the former Man United starlet they snapped up little over 12-months ago. He is set to make his Premier League debut this weekend and could be the long-term answer up-front for The Hammers, they rate him that highly.

    Do you think Soucek-4 outscores Holding/Rodrigo in 19?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No need to bring him for a hit imo

    2. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years

      Not for a hit.

      I wouldnt hit him in - I think the moment to do it was probably this week. Definitely a good short term play but who knows when Laporte or Ake might come back and disrupt his starts.

    A)Tierney + Watkins
    B)Bellerin + Wilson

      A

    -8 hit:
    DCL to Antonio
    Mitchell to Coufal
    Steer to Areola

    Gets me this:

    Areola
    Cancelo | Stones | Coufal | Lowton
    KdB | Bruno | Grealish | Soucek
    Antonio | Kane*

    McCarthy* | Son* | Bamford* | Dallas*

    0ITB
    *Non DGW

    Sound good for a BB?

    Other alternative is to get Salah & Brewster for Son & DCL and play TC.....though think I’m favouring the former.

    Thoughts?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

      That is a good BB, imo, conflicted on whether it's worth a -8 though, especially with 1 defender and a goalkeeper coming in. Also not sure whether Antonio plays all the minutes in the DGW. Areola is also a dodgy pick, imo.

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

        I know what you mean by the hit, but I’m thinking in terms of effectively getting 6 games for the hit (if they all play twice).

        I think Fulham have looked great recently to the contrary, tough opponents in the double but home games and an opportunity to rack up saves

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A lot of points to spend on a BB. I don't see much benefit to it tbh

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

        8 doesn’t feel too bad to me

    3. The 12th Man

      Like it. Sets your bench up to just in case there's further postponements.

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

        Cheers for the thoughts

    4. NejiHyuuga01
      • 6 Years

      Why BB on a single GW bench? Wildcard before thenext double to gain full returns

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

        Because quite often many of the SGW outscore the DGW players. Given Leeds and Spurs have a great fixture this seems like a good opportunity to try to get that optimum selection

    5. philosopherking
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1st 2 moves look good, but Areola might not even repay the hit. Rest of the bench looks good so might as well go ahead with the BB. You could also consider Johnstone.

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

        Yes, thanks. I think Areola will have a better opportunity of save points

    6. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'm not sure. The transfers are good but you've got 5 single gameweekers there and a Fulham goalie. And Lowton. I can't see a clean sheet from either goalie. I would save BB

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

        Hmm true, would you sell Son for Salah and go the TC route?

        Worth mentioning though to get Salah it’s still a -4, and although the -8 BB doesn’t have Salah it does have Son

  24. Pepeye

    City v Villa 6pm 20th Jan BT Sport. Walker & Fernandinho lined up for Palace . KDB & Gondogan to start

      Huh?

  25. All For One
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start Dier or Smith Rowe?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ESR, but that could change tonight

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cool will see how he does tonight.

  26. jam

    Grealish to Foden for a hit?? No City players...

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

      Why would you get rid of Grealish... He also has a double.

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

      No

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's a no from me - now with Grealish's double

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A hit is mad imo. I doubt Foden plays the next 3 - Grealish could get booked and suspended but I wouldn't hit on that prospect.

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

        That's a no then. Yeah the YC situation is bothering me and no City.
        Hmm.
        Cheers all for calming my itchy finger.

    BB or TC KDB?
    WC FH BB TC available

    Martinez Mendy
    AWB Saiss* Stones Justin Coufal
    KBD Fernandes Son* Gundo Saka*
    Kane* Bamford Antonio

    1. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would probably BB with that side

  28. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So I don't screw this up... Villa have 2 games this gw as it stands right? Any immediate risks to that changing?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nothing immediate but if the covid cases increase then city vs villa may be called off. very unlikely now, though.

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks Bennet!

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL

          Or Ben 😉

  29. Apwilkin

    Was all geared up for a BB from my WC16... But here we are. 1 FT, 0 ITB. Still have TC and BB.

    Johnston (Mcarthy)
    Mee-Castagne-Robbo-Cougar (Dallas)
    Son-Bruno-Salah-Soucek (Anguissa)
    Kane-Bamford (Adams)

    1- Save my chips, and save my transfer.
    2- TC Salah?
    3- BB
    4- Castagne to stones and Adams to Antonio for -4

    Hey guys, not really got a clue what to do here approaching the DGW, just looking for ideas. (Asterisked are the DGW’ers)

    Martinez*
    Robertson* - Dias* - Dallas
    Raphinha - Salah* - KDB* - Bruno* - Son
    Bamford - Wilson*
    __________________________________
    Forster: Lindelof, Holding, Brewster

    1FT, 0.1 ITB.

    Considering anything up to a -12, so was thinking something like:

    Lindelof + Salah + Brewster > Cancelo/Coufal + Soucek + Vardy

    But honestly not got a clue anymore, any wisdom you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

    1. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A -12 where you lose Salah seems like a recipe for tears on a DGW (or any weeK). Not sure you need any transfers to be honest. Maybe just lindelof to coufal and raphinha to soucek.

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lindelof and Raphina to Cresswell and Soucek?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers bud! Yeah that’s a fair shout, not sure I can do cresswell but would you those moves with coufal instead of cresswell if that’s possible?

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah very true, I don’t like losing Salah at all. Good call those man cheers

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So for the DGW XI:

      A) Dallas + Raphinha + Salah
      B) Cancelo + Soucek + Vardy (-8)

      My answer: Hmmm instainct was A, but it's closer than I thought, actually. I think you can do better, but otherwise, I'd lean towards B since your squad will be improved for the future too.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers matey, there is the fear of losing Salah I guess, but it would build my squad for the better in the future like you say.
