Value midfielder Pereira improving in new central role for West Brom

West Ham 2-1 West Brom

  • Goals: Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), Michail Antonio (£6.3m) | Matheus Pereira (£5.6m)
  • Assists: Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m), Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.5m) | Kamil Grosicki (£5.3m)
  • Bonus points: Antonio x3, M Pereira x2, Coufal x1

THE BAGGIES BAG

Matheus Pereira (£5.6m) is quietly building Fantasy Premier League appeal again as he scored in West Bromwich Albion’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Tuesday evening.

It was the midfielder’s third strike in two matches and a fourth attacking return since Sam Allardyce arrived at the Hawthorns in Gameweek 14 – more than any colleague.

Crucially, it has made for excellent value for money too. Costing just £5.6m, Pereira’s score during the new manager’s reign working out at 5.5 points per million spent.

Pereira’s new central role has played a pivotal part in that upturn in fortunes, which has helped West Brom score four goals in their last two.

The Brazilian was deployed on the flanks for much of Slaven Bilic’s time in charge of West Brom this season but Allardyce has allowed him to play number 10 in each of the last three matches – which has yielded three goals for the midfielder.

Despite the 24-point score recorded in Double Gameweek 19, Pereira may have to be someone Fantasy managers keep only on their radar for now.

West Brom face Manchester City (home), Spurs (away) and Manchester United (home) between now and Gameweek 24.

Still, Gameweek 21 and 22 meetings with Fulham (home) and Sheffield United (away) offer some short-term appeal.

CELEBRATION

Michail Antonio (£6.3m) looks set to offer similar consistent form Fantasy managers witnessed during Project Restart.

On Tuesday night, he started back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time since Gameweek 6 and, despite still only working his way back to full fitness, already has two goals in two.

As we mentioned in our match report for the win over Burnley, Antonio’s knack of getting on the end of balls in and around the six-yard box is the true key to his appeal.

And it was exactly the story against West Brom, as he hooked a flying leg on the end of an Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.5m) knock-down in the second half.

Perhaps mildly ominous for owners and non-owners alike, is the fact that David Moyes insisted post-match that Antonio is still not back to his best.

The fact that the West Ham manager replaced him with Mark Noble (£4.6m) in the 84th minute suggests there is still game-time management required following his long lay-off.

That said, Sebastien Haller‘s (£6.1m) sale to Ajax is a continuing reminder that, at the very least, he is ready to start games consistently, if not finish them.

Meanwhile, anyone not in possession of Antonio might be somewhat concerned to see him score 18 points in Double Gameweek 19 only for his manager to imply there are remaining gears for him to cycle up through.

“He was excellent, his goal was great, but he is still not at full tilt. We are asking a lot from him and he is turning into a ruthless striker.” – David Moyes

VLAD THE IMPALER

West Ham’s run of defensive form was brought to an end by West Brom on Tuesday night.

Pereira’s second-half strike was the first Premier League goal the Hammers had conceded with Craig Dawson (£4.5m) in the side.

With Crystal Palace (away), Fulham (away) and Sheffield United (home) three of the next five opponents, there is certainly very little to worry owners of West Ham’s defensive assets from Double Gameweek 19.

The former Watford man looks closer and closer to squeezing his way into Fantasy consideration not least just because of his price but because he finally started offering threat against West Brom.

Dawson managed to find space on the back post to nod an Aaron Cresswell (£5.4m) corner towards Sam Johnstone‘s (£4.5m) goal in the first half, nodding just wide when he should have scored.

While Cresswell managed just two points on Tuesday night, his owners can still look forward to a period of strong potential for the left-back.

Of his six assists this season, five of them have come away from home and West Ham face road trips, to Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Fulham, in three of the next four Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m) continues to be the more useful of West Ham’s full-backs at the London Stadium.

His assist for Jarrod Bowen‘s (£6.3m) opening goal was his third at home this season, the most of any West Ham defender in 2020/21.

The right-back even went close to his first Premier League goal in the first half, popping up in the box and watching his shot deflected wide for a corner.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Dawson, Coufal; Rice, Soucek; Benrahma (Yarmolenko 62′), Lanzini (Fornals 62′), Bowen; Antonio (Noble 84′).

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-4-1-1): Johnstone; Gibbs, Bartley, Ajayi, O’Shea; Grosicki (Furlong 70′), Sawyers, Livermore (Robson-Kanu 80′), Gallagher; M Pereira; C Robinson.

    Anyone in manchester at the moment? reports coming up that heavy rain has been pouring since yesterday and flooding are expected.

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

      City Groundsman would have a cover on the pitch. Pitch should be fine

    2. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in South Manchester. It's been raining, not anything more than normal, but the rivers are rising. A free food warnings, but wouldn't affect FF!

      1. The-Red-1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        A few flood warnings. No free food.

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

      With no fans that becomes irrelavant

      The ground itslef is top top quality wont be waterlogged

      I say this as someone who would benefit immensely from a postponement

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

        Do they keep the pitch covered until the players run out on it for warm-ups?

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

          Yes in some cases ive seen them do that

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 2 months ago

          What about travel for the opposing team?

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

            Theyll get there ine way or another with all the options they can afford

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

        I wouldn’t worry about this

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

      Is Soucek attacking stats in the DGW affected by Antonio being back in the team?

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

        For me from the eye test he seemed a bit more restrained. Guess they need his height and physicality up front a bit less when Antonio is in the team.

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

        No. He was still bombing forward. A player like him will, on an average, get a return every four or five GWs.

    5. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy owners, what's the plan? Doesn't look as sharp as he did earlier in the season, however he is still getting chances and has some tasty looking fixtures coming up.

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

        Very frustrating but with 3 away games and a game against Leeds, I think I will hold then switch to Kane

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

        I dont think he looked mych sharper earlier too jut not getting the penalties anymore

        Have to keep him for bthe next 3 then will probably sell for kane

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

        Keeping till 22

      4. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably hold until gw23 then switch out for Kane

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

        Holding until 23 then out for Kane

      6. kime67
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        his movement is not great anymore. hasnt looked like himself in the past couple of games. he just turned 34 maybe its starting to show. idk. think i might switch back to kane who seems to be in the form of his life.

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

      Martinez
      Robbo Cancelo Dias
      Salah KDB Bruno Grealish Raphinha
      Antonio Bamford

      (Steer Cresswell Mitchell Brewster)
      1 FT & 0.3m

      Robbo ➡️ Shaw for free?

      Frees up funds for Salah & Antonio/Bam to Kane & Son down the line.
      Or could even use the money to upgrade one of the forwards to Ings or Raphinha to a Leicester mid.

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Save and reassess with 2 FT next week

    7. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What are the weaknesses in this team?

      Martinez Meslier
      Cancelo Stones Coufal Konsa Taylor
      Salah KDB Bruno Soucek Anguissa
      Vardy Bamford Adams

      1 FT 1.1 ITB
      Looking to WC 25 BB 26 FH 29

      1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Anguissa

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

        The forwards and Soucek

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Unortunately did Kane + Raphinha > Vardy + Soucek for the dgw but the move has backfired.

          Will look to move Adams to Antonio but his dgw on the horizon is a concern.

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

            I would look for a way of getting Ings in for Saints double. Have owned Adams for about a month now & not enjoyed the experience at all.

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

        Konsa and Taylor - better def available like Shaw and Mitchell
        Adams - downgrade and use funds on soucek and anguissa

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers Tony

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

        Playing 3 or 4 at the back?

        If former then soucek is a problem. Not a 4th mid

        If latter then ur defence needs improvement

        Leeds sou might have a dgw soon so cant chance the front line atm although adams is a weak link atm

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          4 ATB this week with Adams benched.
          Guess it makes sense to wait for possible dgw news this week depending on FA cup results before making any transfers.
          Could do Taylor > 5.5 defender or Adams > Antonio.

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

        Vardy, Adams & Soucek.

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Got in Vardy Soucek this week for dgw and it hasn't paid off.
          Adams > Antonio looks an obvious move but Adams might have dgw soon.

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

        I wouldn't change anything this week. Taylor is back and Anguissa does what a 4.5 does. Wait until we know more about DGW, try to keep a transfer in the bank

        1. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers mate

        a

      2. Bavarian

        A

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

        Wouldn't take Wilson or Foden - must be better options

    10. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any other Bowen owners relieved he finally scored

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        no i imagine they are very frustrated with his goal.

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

        Got him on one of my FanTeam drafts. Pleasantly surprised. 13 points from him on there.

        1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Tbf I was waiting until this double to finish so I can get him out, nice leaving present anyway

    11. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Hi lads, you people in the know. Still have wildcard and bench boost. When will the optimum time be to play them?

          Awesome Tony. Thanks

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

            No worries. Next big DGW is 26. Next BGW is 29 so you should take that into consideration when WC. We won't know the DGW and BGW fixtures until after 4th or 5th round of FA cup

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

        Without sounding flippant, WC when your team needs it most and BB when you have a full playing bench you are confident starts and have decent fixtures

        1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Agree Miguel

    12. The Frenchie
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      118 points so fat with De Bruyne (C), Dias, Stones, Bruno and Salah to play. From position 1 900 000 to 779 000 in one GW. Finally, after an horrific start..

      What about you?

      1. The Frenchie
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        *so far

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

        Similar but only on 95 this week with triple United and city + areola kdb (c) to play

        Same sort of thing though, was 2.1m before 18 and now 800k 🙂

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Really nice progression as well

      3. BenDavies
        • 11 Years

        excellent score mate, well done

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years

          Thanks dude

      4. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        109 with De Bruyne (C), Dias, Stones, Salah and Grealish

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Nice

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

        Didn't wildcard or bench boost.
        Have gone from 7.5 K to 13 K but have Stones KDB captain Grealish Martinez Watkins and Bruno tonight so hoping to go back up a bit.

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You will differential for sure with Watkins

      6. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Very good whats your team did you BB?

        1. The Frenchie
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, BB. Only fail is sold Kane to get Vardy..

          Fabianski
          Creswell / Coufal / Dias / Stones
          KDB / Bruno / Maddison / Salah
          Vardy / Bamford

          Meslier / Holding / Smith-Rowe / Brewster

          1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            nice

      7. Tingate
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        109 (-8) with De Gea, Areola, Dias, Wan Bissaka, Cancelo, Salah, Fernandes, KDB (C) & Wood left.

        Abysmal first half of the season finally looking up.

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

        Similar here on 124 with those same city boys, Bruno, Watkins, Maguire, Allison - no salah has me worried!

      9. mojoindojo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great score. I have same set of players left and on 111.

      10. jb1985
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        On 111, BB played and still have 13 to go. Had bad start to the season so nice that bench boost has paid off (so far, took-24 hit). I have checked and I am +15 when taking into account the transferred players out and their point scored.

        Jonhstone,Martinez
        Stones, Dias, Shaw, Coufal, Justin
        KDB(c), Grealish, Fernandes, Salah, Soucek
        Antonio, Cavani, Watkins

    13. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Need advice. Horrible mess really - ducked the double hit for extra City this week - 1 minute late! Barnes and Antonio saving grace so far.

      Feels like a hit is needed.

      Mendy

      TAA Dias Targett Regulion
      Mo Bruno Son Barnes
      Antonio Bamford

      Steer Dallas Soucek DCL

      TAA to Stones is planned. Hit

      A Dallas to Maguire/AWB
      B DCL to Ings
      C Soucek to Grealish/Zaha
      D other

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn't hit that.

        Probably start Dallas over Reguilon and roll FT. Team looks good.

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

          Should Pool Spurs go 0-0 - possible after all - I'll be okay I guess. But single City and United seems off beam. Could get severely punished next week.

          Looking at ways to shift DCL into Manchester really.

          Ings attracts as an alternative. Feels like he could be a thing. Would be happy to match him up with Antonio and Barnes.

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            the 2FT opens up so many options.

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

        Since Dallas is your 5th def, go with Mitchell. If going for utd def, I prefer to take the risk and go with Shaw

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Shaw from United or release funds with Mitchell

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

          Sit on DCL?

      4. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        DCL must be back soon and would be happy to play Soucek against your lot.
        TAA to Cancelo or Stones?
        Are you not convinced about Mitchell yet? Seems to be too good to be true if 1st choice.

        1. pingissimus

          He's a temptation for sure. But not convinced yet and Palace defence is not much of an attraction - would prefer attack!!!!!

      How's the team looking for GW20? Good to save FT and bench Soucek ahead of Coufal and Raphinha? Thanks

        Looking good. Bench Soucek.

      2. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        As you're already playing Cresswell, I would start Rodrigo or Soucek ahead of Coufal.

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

          Cheers. I only brought in Rodrigo on WC16 because he was the only FWD I could afford that had DGW. His constant 60 mins games doesn't convince me to start him. Soucek doesn't seem to be as attacking when Antonio played in the DGW. I like Coufal for the CS and assist potential. I will wait for the CRY team news for Zaha

      So the City v Borussia game got called off for a waterlogged pitch a few years back have they learnt their lesson?

    16. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years

      Does this look ok? Planning to save my FT. Have 0.4 ITB.

      Martinez
      Stones James Coufal
      Salah KDB Bruno (C) Son Soucek

        Looks ok to me

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

          Just realized that I can move Soucek out for Gundogan/ Saka/ ESR. Should I?

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I love Soucek, but 3 City seems a must. Rather another def than Gundog though if you can shuffle it around somehow.

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

        If saving then team is GTG. I'm currently on KDB cap over Bruno. I agree you need to maximise on 3 City players and prefer 2defs and KDB but you can't afford Cancelo or Dias without taking a hit this week.

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

          Gundogan for 4 weeks? I plan to WC in 23.

    17. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Morning folks, struggling to work out who to bench this week out of this lot.

      Loris, Leno
      TAA, Stones, Dias, Coufal, Dallas
      Salah, Bruno, Son, Grealish, Neto
      Antonio, Warkins, Bamford

      Any thoughts?

      Also, was going to save FT but might do Salah to KDB depending on what happens tonight/tomorrow.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        2 cheaper defs and maybe Watkins

    18. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For everyone poo pooing the idea of a a city cancelation. Blackburn's home game got called off last night due to a water logged pitch, and that has been a premier league pitch until a few years ago.

      I need the game to go ahead from an FPL perspective (Dias, Stones, KDB(c)), but a postponement isn't as ridiculous as some are suggesting.

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

        Did you just compare Ewood Park to the Etihad?

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Blackburn's pitch is a very good pitch actually, won awards a number of times in the prem.

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

            Eh our pitch isn't the best nowadays. I don't think it's likely the City game gets canceled but agree that it can't be totally ruled out.

            1. No Professionals
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              i guess we spend less on maintenance now we're in the championship. But the drainage should still be prem level.

        2. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Typical Anywhere But North-West No Professionals

        Poo pooing is rather a good expression, isn't it?
        Let's use it more often

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

        with these modern day pithes no way should any top premiership ground get called off because of waterlogging,and they won't

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

          Borussia vs city at eithad was called off in 2016 and that was a ucl game

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

            To be fair the forecast is dreadful

          2. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            That is why the British people got rid of the continentals, bringing their weather with them

        Need someone in Manchester to comment, BBC mentioned 18 hours of rain.
        I am midlands & everywhere is either flooded or getting that way.

        The matches are usually cancelled due to crowds safety, covid took that worry away.

          In Salford - it's raining but no more than usual. Not like it's torrential, going sideways, can't-walk-the-dog-in-case-he-drowns rain.

      Play:
      A) Coufal (cry)
      B) Allioski (new)

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years

        coin toss for me. have the same decision pretty much (Coufal and Dallas).

        1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm waiting on Zaha's fitness I think

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Same situation as No Pros, starting Coufal - he is a machine

    20. FULLSERVICECOVER

      whats happened with PVA? why is mitchell a starter again?

        God knows

      2. marcos11

        Better defensively and PVAs contract running down

        1. Monklane
          • 14 Years

          PVA doing a Lundstram eh?

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

        PVA out of contarct in the summer with Ajax said to be interested. Think Palace are starting to transition Mithcell into first choice left back.

      Soucek to:

        Easy D. Keep the faith.

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

      KDB(C), Cancelo, Stones, Martinez and Grealish. If this game doesn’t go ahead I’ll have a breakdown

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        At least you didn’t TC him like moi

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years

        Why wouldnt it go ahead? Nothing pointing otherwise

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Lots of talk about it being postponed. They called off Borussia with less rain before I’m sure

            Talk where? Here? Panic merchants.

            Show me a reliable article suggesting it could be called off.

            Im waiting.

            1. No Professionals

        You've already got a stupid score fr om Stones, no need to moan.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Who is complaining? Id love that game to be cancelled, I havent Cd KDB.

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

        spreading the cash for BB 19 seems to of given me a serious headache for who to bench in gw20

    24. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Far too many decent scores being posted so I’ll help my poor score GW brothers out, 55 minus 4 here with KDB tc with dodgy ankle and possible game off due to weather. Oh joy

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        How about TC Kevin best player for best team in league to go? Doesn't that make you feel better?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        ? I havent read any reliable source talking abt the game being called off.

        Have you?

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not reliable per se, but a couple of people who seem to have known a few bits and pieces before but we will see eh. Nothing can do about it

      4. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Haha big monthly rivals getting in my ear

    25. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester killing me this season, who to bring in Justin, Barnes or Maddy?

      Hold?

      Martinez
      Robertson, Stones, Dias
      Bruno, Son, Foden, Salah
      Kane, Bamford, Watkins

      Johnson, Soucek, Coufal, Mitchell

      1.5

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

        Foden to Maddy?

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

        Foden > Barnes or Maddison

      3. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Foden to Maddison looks a decent bet.

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

        Robbo to Justin

      5. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Always wary of Madds, but really seems to have gone up a gear in terms of FPL output recently.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          he does that though, couple of back to back returns, then goes quiet for a long spell. Partly puts me off, as after 3 in 3, i can't see him going 5 in 5 or 7 in 9 for example.

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

        I'd be tempted by United defence.

        Decent fixtures on the horizon and quietly last season their defence was right up there for value when they got on a roll. Thinking that that may repeat.

        Otherwise Justin. But unsure of fixtures for defence before presumed WC

      7. Poetry in motion
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Still games to be played, but looks like Save to me and then look to get attacker for LEE.
        That is my plan as well and I'm not interested in their defense (prefer others), but things may change.

      8. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers,

        Looking at Robbo to Shaw or Justin Or Foden to Barnes / Maddy.

    26. R.C
      • 6 Years

      Is KDB injured?

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

        Game day scaremongering.
        Anyway nothing we can do now.

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        if people knew KDB was injured, this place would be in meltdown.

    27. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KazGazTeam currently occupying 4th in the OR is smashing it this week. Sitting on 141 currently having TC'd Antonio and selected Maddison and Stones with 6 to play including the premium players. He probably wont make 200 but 180 is within reach.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow. Does he have lottery numbers?

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

      I have 2 FT transfers:

      Bowen --> Smith Rowe
      Alioski --> Digne?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Do you have 3 City already?

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

          No, only cancelo but i'm in a mini league with some rules and I can't pick city players anymore!

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Decent enough choices then. Everton have a couple of decent fixtures coming up and Smith-Rowe is a gift from FPL gods.

    29. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any insight as to when Villa will get another DGW? Possible before 25?

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

        26 or 29 are numbers I keep seeing banded about

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

          26 is a given but there's another one in there too. Is it against City?

          Wondering whether there's an impetus to get it in early before more fixtures pile up.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe better idea after FA Cup games at the weekend?

    30. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Manchester United are unbeaten away for one year

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years

        Basaksehir coach must be a genius

      Just want to thank the legend who advised me against DCL + Son + Anguissa -> Antonio + Mount + Soucek...

      Did it with Maddison instead of Mount, so danke very schon.
