Spot the Differential

Fit-again Ziyech can help overlooked Chelsea assets perform in Double Gameweek

Double Gameweek 19 is almost upon us which gives us an opportunity to have a look at some differential options.

This time, we’ve selected low-owned picks at Chelsea, Fulham and Leicester, who we think have the potential to make an impact.

As always, to qualify, the players must have an ownership of 5% or less at the time of writing.

Hakim Ziyech

  • FPL ownership: 2.6%
  • Price: £8.1m
  • GW19-23 fixtures: ful + lei | WOL | BUR | tot | shu

Despite a stop-start few months at Chelsea, largely due to injury, Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) has been one of the club’s top performers this season.

Prior to his latest setback in early-December, the Moroccan looked sharp, scoring one goal and assisting three more in four matches.

That coincided with the Blues hitting form and climbing to the top of the table.

However, with Ziyech out they struggled, winning just one of their six matches.

That run has threatened to derail their season, but now with all of their attackers fit and available, they have an opportunity to get back on track.

Last weekend’s convincing 4-0 win against League Two side Morecambe at least offers some encouragement.

Though not on the scoresheet, Ziyech provided the assist for Callum Hudson-Odoi’s (£5.7m) strike, while he was also involved in the build-up to Timo Werner’s (£9.2m) goal.

His crossing ability was again on show, and I expect we’ll see plenty of those trademark diagonals to the opposite flank, and in particular Ben Chilwell (£6.1m), in the coming weeks.

Frank Lampard is now heading into a defining period of Chelsea’s season, with games at Fulham and Leicester City in Gameweek 19 followed by Stamford Bridge encounters with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley.

Ziyech has had a testing start to his Chelsea career, but has excelled when fit, and could be key to unlocking the Blues attacking potential again.

Ademola Lookman

  • FPL ownership: 1.2%
  • Price: £5.0m
  • GW19-23 fixtures: CHE + MUN | bha | wba | LEI | WHU

We’ve been big fans of Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) for a while now, having included him in this column back in October.

Now, with an appealing set of fixtures which include a double in Gameweek 19, we think he’s worth talking about again.

Against Tottenham Hotspur in midweek, Lookman impressed.

Fresh off the bench, he put in a great cross for Fulham’s equaliser and went on to create three chances in just 23 minutes.

Following that assist, he’s now been directly involved in five of Fulham’s 11 league goals since making his first appearance back in October.

During that time, he also leads the way among teammates for shots, attempts in the box, chances created and expected goal involvement (xGI), highlighting his importance to the team.

Fulham’s recent upturn in form has seen them put together a six-game unbeaten run, and the evidence suggests that they have overcome their recent COVID-19 outbreak.

Up next is a tricky double against Chelsea and Manchester United, but to be fair to Scott Parker’s side, they have already proven they are capable of competing against the top teams this term.

However, the real appeal lies in the games to follow, with trips to Brighton and Hove Albion and West Bromwich Albion looking key.

Panenka aside, Lookman has looked good since arriving at Fulham on loan from RB Leipzig.

He is fast becoming essential to their survival hopes, and given their schedule, could offer FPL managers real value in the coming weeks.

Harvey Barnes

Barnes matches Vardy's output over last four ahead of Double Gameweek
  • FPL ownership: 4.2%
  • Price: £6.8m
  • GW19-23 fixtures: SOU + CHE | eve | LEE | ful | wol

In recent matches, Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) has established himself as one of Leicester’s main attacking threats.

The 23-year-old has now netted three times in his last four appearances in all competitions, and is starting to add more end product to his game.

The potential has always been there, but now with added consistency, he has become a regular starter on the left flank under Brendan Rodgers.

Barnes has now scored nine goals in 23 appearances this term, his best campaign for The Foxes, and the numbers have caught the eye, too.

In the last four matches, Barnes has taken more shots (12) than any of his team-mates, including Jamie Vardy (£10.1m). In fact, that total ranks fifth among all midfielders, while his final-third touches, take-ons and penalty area touch tallies are also in the top 15.

Leicester currently sit fourth in the Premier League with a favourable run of fixtures, including a double in Gameweek 19 and games against Leeds and Fulham to follow shortly after.

They are in good form, too, as they are now unbeaten in five in all competitions, scoring 11 goals during that run.

Along with James Justin (£5.0m), Barnes has arguably been Leicester’s most improved player this season, and could be a nice punt for those in search of midfield differential.

      Think I’m going B (but won’t own A).
      Would love C though at some point, just think with those City fixtures and signs here and there that City are slowly getting back to form it’s as good as an opportunity.

      A or wait for me.

    10. pavlev
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i think c is safest, kdb seems now to be an alternative to salah your disatance from the herd will be minimized as its more likely there will be a standout TC option in a future dgw.

      of the two, i'd say salah for pens and less bench risk

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

    Son dcl Taylor > kdb stones Brewster -8?

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

      not to be stuck with Brewster until you next wildcard

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

      Worth it

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

      No, a -4 instead with keeping Son

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

      I'd do it.

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

      I don't think I'd want Brewster in a -8

      (I have a similar option below and I'm very unsure about whether it's worth it)

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

    Pick 1:

    A) Cresswell
    B) Coufal

    Pick 1:

    1) Antonio
    2) Watkins
    3) Wilson*
    4) Wood

    *If Wilson then it has to be Coufal.

    Thanks

        Interested people saying Coufal over Cresswell, is this because you don’t feel Cresswell is worth the extra 0.7?

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

          Has created more than Cresswell. And that 0.7 is huge.

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

            Cheers, I might go Cresswell as a differential still

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

              Can prove to be good too. With him being on set pieces. There isn't a definite answer to this one apart from the price difference.

  4. Will J 256

    Do you reckon Tierney will make it this weekend?

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

      Yes he will

  5. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Am I G2G? (I’ve already taken a hit)

    Martinez
    Stones - Dias - Coufal - Zouma
    KDB- Salah - Bruno - Soucek
    Kane - Bamford

    4.0, Mitchell, Raphina, Adams

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

      G2G

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

      Definitely

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play Targett or Dallas?

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

      Dallas - more assured start, more attacking potential, both have one good fixture

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

      Dallas

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

      Targett on 4 yellow cards, could be risky

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

      Debbie does...

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

    Bb it?

    Pope Johnstone
    Justin Coufal Cancelo Dier* Alioski*
    Salah Mane Bruno Soucek Raphinha*
    Martial Wood Bamford *

    1ft. 0.2 itb

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

      Actually not sure if I would - it could work out but it's borderline.

      You confident Martial will play?

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

        I am not confident.

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

      Yes. Make a smart transfer and BB.

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

    I dont know whether im being a fool but Im tempted to triple captain KDB. It looked like he had alot of big chances in the Brighton game and remained a threat for the full 90. Theres alot of doubt around him performing with people even taking him out of their team. It would be HUGE if he gets big points this dgw. His xg/xa has been the highest out of every player (2.1 xg and 0.98 xa). Also city are always dangerous at home. I think with how tight this season is pep will definitely start him for both games. What do you guys think?

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The fact that a lot of the Villa players might still be feeling the Covid after-effects is tempting me

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

      Palace will concede just one like they always do.

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

        yh they played really defensive against arsenal..if they sit back its going to be all guns blazing

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

          I said it before the arsenal game but ppl were so convinced by arsenal players.

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

            I think if tierney played there would have been alot more chances but oh well

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

              Nah Tierney did nothing for the previous 15 games and only did well one game vs WBA and he suddenly becomes a good pick.

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

                nah..with the emergence of smith rowe, saka and laca on form it was not a bad move. He also got an assist against newcastle. If arsenal were clinical he would be on alot more assists as he loves putting the ball in the box

  11. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which one?

    1) Antonio, De Bruyne, Foden [-4]
    2) Kane, Foden, Dias
    3) Antonio, De Bruyne, Dias [-4]

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

      1) if you fancy higher risk/reward. 3) for a safer pick.

      BUT If you don't have Son after you lose Kane, then 2)!

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah getting rid of Son and/or Kane in all these moves.

        2 allow me to keep a Spurs asset but I have no De Bruyne (who is nice for the double and beyond).

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

      3 if no other City defense

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Got Stones.

    3. Magic Zico

      3

    4. Karan14

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

    Attempting a RP for a couple more replies if poss (cheers Karan on last page)

    Apologies lots of options but would really appreciate advice!

    A) Raphinha, KWP, Adams > Foden, Stones, Brewster (-8)
    B) Kane, Raphinha, Dallas > Vardy, Foden, Stones (-8)
    C) Kane, Raphinha, Adams > Antonio, KDB, Brewster (-8)
    D) Kane, Raphinha > Vardy, Foden (-4)
    E) Kane, Dallas > Vardy, Cancelo (-4)
    F) Kane, Adams, KWP, Forster > Vardy, Antonio, Stones, Johnstone (-12) - Play BB!

    My favourites atm are B, C and tempted by F despite the points hit because I can see it being repaid by unlocking a strong bench (Johnstone, Bamford, Raph, Dallas)

    1FT 0.2itb
    Martinez (x2), Forster*
    Robbo (x2), Dias (x2), Coufal (x2), Dallas*, KWP*
    Salah (x2), Bruno (x2), Son, Soucek (x2), Raphinha*
    Kane*, Bamford*, Adams*

    Cheers all!

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

        That's my "safe" favourite. For an extra 4pts in F I could unlock points from:

        Johnstone (DGW), Bamford, Raph, Dallas

        Tempting!

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

      B and F my faves

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

        Same!

        B I see as the "safer" one but for an extra 4pts in F I unlock points from:

        Johnstone (DGW), Bamford, Raph, Dallas

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Canny Leeds fixture to bb with though

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

            Exactly.... I'm v v tempted.... but I've never taken such a big hit....!

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

              Wouldn't worry about size of hit if you think it'll generate points

    3. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      F, if you’re playing a -8 you may as well take the extra hit and BB

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

        It's very very tempting

        For an extra 4pts in F I unlock points from:

        Johnstone (DGW), Bamford, Raph, Dallas

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

      I would keep Kane.
      Get Stones and play 442.
      If you want rid of Kane, get Vardy.

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

        Very conservative approach - thanks!

        So you mean just use FT to either do Kane > Vardy or Dallas > Stones?

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

          Yes. I'd get Stones, and be with that.

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

      B or C for me and play the BB anyway

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

        Thanks mate

        A BB without 15 playing players though.... doesn't feel optimal

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

    Bench boost in play

    Martinez, Johnstone
    Robertson, Dias, Stones, Holding, Kilman*
    KDB, Fernandes, Son*, El Ghazi, Soucek
    Kane, Bamford*, Rodrigo*

    I'm only willing to transfer out the single* players. Kilman out is obviously one of the nailed moves hence the bench boost

    A) Kilman, Son and Kane > Coufal, Salah(c) and Antonio - 8

    B) Kilman and Kane > Coufal and Vardy - 4 (no Salah)

    Any other suggestions?

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I like both honestly. A if you are sure about Salah captain.

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

        Cheers. It just feels so wrong going without Salah with two double home fixtures

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

      B I think

      I wouldn't want to lose both Kane and Son

    Want Salah but not sure how to get there:

    Martinez
    Robbo Dias Taylor*
    KDB Son Bruno Grealish ESR
    Kane Bamford

    Forster KWP Mitchell Brewster

    A) Grealish & Son to Salah & Soucek (-4)
    B) Grealish & Kane to Salah & Antonio (-4)
    C) Taylor to Coufal
    D) Taylor to Stones
    E) Taylor & Brewster to Strujic & Antonio (-4)
    F) Free hit

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B if you really want Salah otherwise C.

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

      I like A.

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

        But would rather do C.

  16. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez
    Robbo Cancelo Dias
    Salah Mane Bruno Grealish Raphinha
    DCL! Bamford

    (Steer Kilman Brewster Mitchell)

    A) Mane & DCL ➡️ KDB(c) & Antonio -4
    B) DCL & Kilman ➡️ Antonio & Coufal -4
    (Bench Raphinha & Captain Salah)
    C) Mane, DCL & Kilman ➡️ KDB(c), Antonio & Coufal -8
    (Bench Raphinha)

    Thoughts?

        No KDB is scary!

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

          A then. Same as my Salah fear

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            They both will be the most owned and capped. Its risky going without either of them.

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

      I like C

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah me too. Have a gut feeling West Ham def will outscore Raphinha. Cheers!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I dunno where Coufal would fit in 11 with C

  17. In a Rush
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I can’t decide what to do like many my bb plans have been derailed a bit!

    0.8itb 1 ft

    Martinez
    Taylor Zouma Coufal
    Salah Bruno grealish Bowen Lookman
    Vardy Kane

    Button bamford kwp Dallas

    Is it worth doing?
    Button,Kwp, Dallas ➡️ Areola/Johnstone, Dawson, stones -8 and play bench boost
    Cheers

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

      I'd do it for one hit.
      But Dallas and KWP are both decent players to have as 3/4th defenders.
      Get Areola and Stones imo.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        .1 short of that I agree I am reluctant to get rid of those 2

        1. In a Rush
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Could just do Taylor to stones for free and forget bb

  18. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    For the DGW would you rather have:

    A) Rashford - liv, ful
    B) Grealish - mci, NEW
    C) Son - shu
    D) Ziyech - ful, lei
    E) Other mid up to 9.6

    Thanks

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ziyech as a differential would tempt me

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford out of those.

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

      If no hit - A or D (or Pulisic?)

    4. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    5. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A, C, D.

  19. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On an unlimited budget, which striker would you get for the DGW and the fixtures afterwards?

    A) Vardy
    B) Antonio
    C) Jesus
    D) Martial

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

      A

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  20. SilentLemonMan
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Harrison > Soucek (-4)
    B) Son > Rashford (-4)

    Or GTG ? Will bench boost. Only issue is no Salah.

    Allison (Fabianski)
    Dias Stones Maguire Justin (Coufal)
    KDB Bruno Son Saka (Harrison)
    Vardy Bamford (Watkins)

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B is fpl suicide

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

      A

  21. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What do you prefer?

    A. Areola + Justin
    B. Martinez + Targett

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years

      B

      Short term / this GW:

      Foden or Barnes?

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Foden if you have Vardy

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

        Barnes

      3. ivantys

        Barnes

      4. Kante Touch This
        • 6 Years

        foden imo

      5. M2.0

        Barnes

          “The trouble we have is trying to get players match fit. We can do as much training as we want, and you can get close.

          “But getting out there and getting that run of games is what gets you truly fit so people like Chaz, we have to be careful to not put them in too early, Dwight as well, and Johann, because we have had that many injuries that we have to allow people to be more than fit.

          “It is a balancing act but I imagine if everything goes well over the next few days, Chaz will certainly be back in contention.”

          Is it madness to do Fernandes to KDB with the 1FT? 4 yellows / pogba factor...

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

            i've considered it myself but have 0.8m tied up
            could also see him getting a rest vs SHU

            1. Patson Dabaka
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yup me too. Bought him at 10.5. probably not a good idea but it's the simplest route to Kevin for me.

                • 13 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                If Son blanks this week we’ll all say how could we not have made the move to Kdb

                1. Patson Dabaka
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Good 2.2 million price difference though

                    • 13 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Very true. I have 2.3m itb now as I planned this move but now hesitating

                    1. Patson Dabaka
                      • 8 Years
                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      Jealous!! I'm 0.1 off Kane & Son to Vardy & KDB (albeit for a -4)

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

                        Don’t sleep on Vardy’s poor home record this season
                        Maybe the dgw is overrated for Leicester

                        1. Patson Dabaka
                          • 8 Years
                          3 years, 2 months ago

                          Not just his but Leicester in general. I still think their double looks tasty after a bit of a rest tho. A LOT to consider this week

          2. M2.0
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yellow cards reset straight after the DGW. And then they play WBA.. suicidal move imo

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

              I think that they dont technically reset until your team has played its 19th game. Some teams are still a way from that.

            Is it madness to triple captain KDB

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

              muppet..ignore the blatant spelling mistake

            2. Patson Dabaka
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Definitely not! He's got the best double of all the premiums in my opinion (except vardy maybe)

              I just worry about the exhausted comments by Pep and the quick turnaround in the double

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

                what did pep say

                1. Patson Dabaka
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  About the penalty, he said that KDB was too exhausted to take it.

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

                    yh but with the season being sso tight do you reckon pep would be so "bald" to not play his key player

                    1. Patson Dabaka
                      • 8 Years
                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      Very good. I don't think he'd be afraid to rest him if required, no.. but whether he will is another matter.

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

          All rivals have Salah(C) and I dont own him.

          Rash > Salah(-4) to protect lead?

          1. The Senate
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            If you have KDB or Bruno as captain you'll be better off anyway

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

            If you -4 they will catch you up by 4 points.

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

          Thoughts on this -8? Playing BB in GW19 and would help set me up nicely.

          Kane, Son and Tierney to Antonio, Salah, R James/Justin?

            • 4 Years

            • 4 Years

            I’m also so tempted spending 8 points on getting rid of Kane and Son but it’s a tough one

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

          Worth a minus -8?

          A) Robbo, Son, DCL > Dias, KDB (C), Antonio

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I would do those transfers, yes

            1. Maddamotha
              • 7 Years

              I have Salah... But I have no other City

            Tough.
            Son is a keeper imo. I'd get Dias or Stones though.

            Yes!

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

          Could do with a bit of advice.

          Moving Neto and Robinson or KWP to:
          a) Soucek + Stones
          b) Stones + Thiago
          or
          c) KDB + Stones - Salah out

          Mendy
          Dias, Robbo, Coufal, KWP, Strujik
          Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Neto, Anguissa
          Vardy, Wilson, Bamford

          Will shift Wilson next week.

          1. nolard

            • 7 Years

            A or C for me.

          A) Play Justin
          B) Transfer in Stones (-4)

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

            B if you don't have any City defence already. A if you do

            1. The Sociologist
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yep I’ve already got Dias.

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I would consider getting Justin, so I would obviously not move him for -4.

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

            No.
