Rodgers offers Vardy fitness update as well-owned Justin hits century of FPL points

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-0 Leicester City

Bonus Points: James Justin (£5.2m) x3, Max Kilman (£4.0m) x2. Rui Patricio (£5.3m) x1 Nelson Semedo (£5.2) x1 Jonny Evans (£5.5m) x1

James Justin‘s (£5.2m) ever-growing army of owners emerged the happiest from a drab encounter between Wolves and Leicester.

Just to prove how turgid the match was, it involved fewer shots on target (four) than players who received bonus points (five).

Four of those who received extra points were defenders. The other was home keeper Rui Patricio (£5.3m).

News Justin

Leicester full-back Justin has had a fine time of it over the last six matches, with four clean sheets, a goal and eight bonus points.

He backed up Gameweek 22’s season-best 15-point haul with a nine-pointer at Molineux – a pleasant welcome present for the 192,532 new managers who had pushed his ownership levels up to 29.7% before kick-off.

That consolidated his status as Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) most popular defender, and only West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell (£5.7m) now has more points (106 v 101).

Justin contributed nothing going forward at Wolves – not a single shot taken, chance created or cross delivered as he spent his day reining in Adama Traore’s (£6.0m) forays down the Foxes’ left flank.

No Shot, Sherlock

Wolves worked Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) just the once, albeit with the best chance of the game, when Fabio Silva (£5.2m) forced him into a fine save from close in.

That prompted manager Nuno Espirito Santo to indulge in a touch of criticism of his striker:

Fabio has to do better. He (Schmeichel) did a great save, it was a fantastic save, but he has to do better.

But there’s a reason why only four teams have a worse goalscoring record than Wolves (23), and it’s more to with the manager’s defensive instincts than Silva’s profligacy.

His intentions were there for all to see on Sunday, with Espirito Santo utilising a five-man defence that sat deep and wide to negate Leicester’s attacking threat.

It worked. All three of the visitors’ shots on target came from range and from James Maddison (£7.4m), but none went beyond glorified back pass status, handing Patricio one of the easiest save points of his FPL career.

Welcome Back Boys

Two players made returns at Molineux.

Jamie Vardy (£10.0m), who had lost more than a million managers since undergoing a hernia operation following a Gameweek 19 victory over Chelsea, was handed 29 minutes from the bench and very nearly won it late on.

He flashed a header narrowly wide – an opportunity not officially designated as a big chance, although it was certainly large enough.

But Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers was more concerned with the minutes than the miss:

I’d love Jamie Vardy to play every minute of every game, but we can’t do that. Giving him half-hour was about right because he brings that movement. We can look to see if we can get some more game-time into him on Wednesday.

That would mean midweek FA Cup action at home to Brighton. Should he come through that unscathed, a visit from Liverpool in Saturday’s early kick-off could well mark his first start in five Gameweeks.

The striker is currently one of three Leicester players in the top 20 for transfers-in, although it should be mentioned that Vardy has not scored in the league since Gameweek 14’s win at Spurs just before Christmas.

Espirito Santo, meanwhile, gave wing-back Jonny (£5.4m) the first 45 minutes on his return from a serious knee injury:

It was decided by him, by us, by the medical staff, by the doctor that operated on him. With him returning, we have to be very careful. The decision was made before the game started. It was a decision based on our future, how we have to preserve a player like Jonny.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Kilman, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny (Hoever 45), Neves, Moutinho, Semedo; Neto (Gibbs-White 88), A Traoré; Willian José (Fábio Silva 61).

Leicester City XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Soyuncu, Evans, R Pereira; Tielemans, Choudhury; Barnes, Maddison, Perez (Albrighton 61); Iheanacho (Vardy 61).

    Is the logical move here to do Bissouma --> Gundo and bench Bamford. (away to Arsenal)?
    Or should I use both FTs? I still have my wildcard and BB.

    I have 2 FTs and 2.5 itb

    Martinez
    Stones / Maguire / Cancelo
    Salah (c) / Son / Bruno / Grealish
    DCL / Bamford / Antonio

    Forster, Coufal / Bissouma, Douglas

    Thank you

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bissouma > Gundo definite yes from me.
      Consider Forster > Pope as well.

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the feedback. Why Forster to Pope? So that I can rotate him with Martinez or for a future BB?

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

          Pope could score 15+ points this week. And then he has WBA in GW25. He's also quite likely to double in GW26 so you would be well setup to BB in 26 with Martinez + Pope.

          1. Klip Klopp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers for the advice. If you're building towards your BB for week 26, when are you going to use your wildcard?

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

              No set plan. GW30 after dead-ending into GW29 is one idea.

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

                I think that's what I will do. Easy to get loads of dgw's for 26 without wildcarding with 3 leeds/ Southampton on the bench. TC in 26 and try and build a decent team for bgw29. Then WC in 30 with rest of dgw's in mind. Would still leave BB to play. Caveat is fa cup results but should know by early next week who has dgw in 26.

  2. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on KDB?

    Would love him as an option for DGW26

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He could get some cameos if fit. The team is in good nick without him.

  3. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you BB...

    Martinez Son Antonio Dallas

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

      You're benching Antonio? I bet that's not your worst bench you could put out.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford or Antonio. Fancy Bamford to smash Arsenal tbh

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

          So do I. But I think he's closer to a bench than Antonio vs SHU. Nah, I'm saving. I have very similar. I could even make Mitchell > Mee and have a bench of:

          Martinez Son Bamford Coufal

          And I still don't want to BB it. Son vs mci is just not a good BB.

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            You're all starting to convince me.

            Bb26 WC after and TC later in a city or DCL or Kane plum week/double

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Kane should have a very plum double in 26 😉

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I will have a similar bench. I think gw26 might be juicier.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I want to save it tbh

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have Martinez, Son, Bamford, TAA and will almost definitely go for BB (WC25 with x3 Leeds & x2 Southampton and TC26). I would say yes.

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

        Ah so you're going for it?

        Good luck. I think I'm gonna go for the generic GW26 BB but no WC in 25.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I'm pretty sure - bit more info on previous page post. I'm hoping the extra 24, 25 and 29 points will outweigh the reduced points using TC instead of BB in 26.

          Cheers!

    4. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Save till 26!

      Whatever your bench is now it'll lot a lot tastier later

  4. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, I have WC and TC left. Was planning to do Robbo > Dias this week but should I roll my transfer or play my WC in GW25? My squad is in decent shape and so playing WC feels like a waste.

    Pope
    Stones - Robbo - Coufal
    Salah - Bruno - Soucek - Gundo
    Antonio - Bamford - DCL

    Martinez - Justin - Raphinha - Dallas

  5. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Captained Son this week, benching him next week 😀

    1. cruzex
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why? Son cant never to be on the bench.

      Show me your team, please

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        3x City
        2x Burnley
        2x United
        2x West Ham
        DCL
        Kane

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same, either him or Watkins. Bonus points if you benched him last week!

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Those with TC, when do you plan to use it?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane 26 if Spurs games are Burnley and Southampton at home.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This.

        1. Kitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          A bench boost is a better option though if you still have it for 26

          1. Davros
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Why? Many people will have 3 SGW players from their Leeds players

          2. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            TC HK DGW > BB

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably on Kane in some DGW

    3. MoSalad
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      GW26 or a later double, depends when need FH the most.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No BB for 26?

        1. MoSalad
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Used it already

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      GW26

  7. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best Dier replacement?

    Was thinking of Dallas with double GW in mind since I have a spare transfer to use & he probably won't play this week anyway.

    Current defence is; Dias - Cancelo - Digne - Coufal.

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      how many FT? If 1 just roll it, if 2 then that move sounds sensible.

  8. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do here with 1FT?

    Martinez
    TAA Cancelo Dias
    Gundo Grealish Bruno Salah
    Antonio DCL Bamford

    4m - Son Dallas Brewster

    Cheers

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      who is the 5th defender and which striker don't you have?

    2. MMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brewster to Mee/Digne and bench TAA potentially. Assuming Brewster is a typo as I see 4 defenders and 4 strikers.

  9. MMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT 0.1m ITB. Good to save? WC gone, going to BB in 26.

    Areola*
    Stones*, Mee*, Cancelo*
    Gundo* (C), Salah, Bruno, Grealish
    Watkins, Antonio, DCL* (VC)
    Martinez, Barnes, Justin, Chilwell

    1. MoSalad

      Looks good

  10. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    My team is done (6 players with Dgw):

    Fabianski
    Bissaka Cancelo Tarkowski Keane Shaw*
    Sterling(c) Gundo Bruno
    CalvertLewis Werner

    Bench: Martinez Son* Bamford Soucek

    Some questions:

    1) Who to the bench? Son or Shaw?

    2) Who to Captain? CalvertLewis, Gundo or Serling?

    Ty for help

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That needs a BB

      1. cruzex
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No, BB on DGW26

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Gotcha

    2. Holmes

      Dominic

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would play Bamford over Keane

      1. cruzex
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        i cant. Keane has a DGW...

  11. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really stuck with what to do here, got 1FT and 8.6m in the bank? Did KDB & Kane > Gundo & DCL over the last couple of weeks hence the excess bank funds.

    Martinez
    Shaw - Dias - Stones
    Salah - Bruno - Gundo - Soucek
    DCL - Bamford - Antonio

    Bench: Meslier - Raphina - Coufal - Dier

    1. MoSalad
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing? LOL

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You see I'd play Raphinha over Salah in gw25 so I'd be thinking of deploying Salah funds elsewhere really.

  12. Rollercoaster
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No red flag on Soucek anymore?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Overturned

      1. Rollercoaster
        • 10 Years

      1. MagicMessi

        Same till now

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No chance on Bruno ; massive bus at WBA and expecting him to score worldlies from 35 yards again and again is gambling to the extreme. Raz or Gundo.

  14. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Son to Gundogan for the double?

    Rest of my midfielders have good fixtures this week or an upcoming double (Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Raphina)

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yes

    2. MoSalad

      Yes 100%

  15. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years

    What makes more sense as a one week punt?

    A. Son to Rashford, Antonio to Cavani for triple United against WBA
    B. Stones + Son to Sterling + Mee for free

    1. Tinkermania

    Johnstone, BamBam, AWB, Barnes

    1FT £3.4m ITB

    What would you do?

    A) Barnes to Lookman
    B) Stones & Son ---> Tarkowski & Sterling (C) -4
    C) Stones, Son & Barnes ----> Tarkowski, Sterling (C) & Lookman

    Option for an Everton mid based on FA Cup performances/results.

    1. cruzex

      Do you prefer Tarkowski over Mee? Why?

      1. MoSalad
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cause everyone is going Mee, so may as well be different lol

        1. cruzex
          • 11 Years

          lol ok

            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Want to try get into top 10k getting closer and closer but a good differential could plummet my rank or get me up there. Nervy about a -8 but tempted cause DGW.

            1. cruzex
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Sterling (C). Dont consider?

                • 11 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Stones + Salah or Son + Antonio ----- Tarkowski + Sterling (C) + CalvertLewis.

                No agree?

                1. MoSalad
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  A lot of Value tied up in Antonio & BamBam that's the only issue with moving one out and then Tonio got Sheff UTD cause easily score big and then BamBam DGW the following don't plan on changing them two for the season tbh.

    2 fts this week to work with...would you WC this lot? 2.0 ITB.

    Martinez - McCarthy

    Dias - Dallas - Coufal - Alioski - Williams

    Son - Salah - Fernandes - Grealish - Soucek

    Bamford - Antonio - Wilson

    1. MoSalad
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson & Son ---> DCL & Raz if cash allows?

      1. ASAP Rocky
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        1.2 away from making that reality. I could only afford Son > Sterling + Wilson > Watkins

        1. MoSalad
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Unless you downgrade someone else. Or punt on BobbyDR for another Double GW player.

    2. Hiddenpaw

      No

    3. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      no way would I WC that.

      Bench Alioski and Dallas for DGW next week, Williams to Cancelo/Burnley def, Wilson to DCL or Soucek to Gundo all options

  18. MidTableFantasy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench for next GW?

    Grealish Bruno Salah Son Gundo
    DCL Bamford Watkins

    Leaning towards Watkins but not 100% sure.

      wierdly, you could argue Son even with fixtures, probably Watkins as double Villa attack and Brighton defence been decent of late

    What are my best moves here, got 1FT and 8.6m in the bank? Did KDB & Kane > Gundo & DCL over the last couple of weeks hence the excess bank funds.

    Martinez
    Shaw - Dias - Stones
    Salah - Bruno - Gundo - Soucek
    DCL - Bamford - Antonio

    Bench: Meslier - Raphina - Coufal - Dier

      team looks really good, I'd roll the FT so have 2 for the DGW

      you will probably want Kane soon so keeping money a week longer to upgrade one of the strikers is sensible

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep definitely want Kane back, only moved him to DCL because I thought (along with many others) he would be out for longer haha!

  20. Hiddenpaw

    Is there a decent Burnley striker to bring in this week?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is there a decent Burnley striker?

      Saved you a few seconds for next time.

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Never a week there’s a decent Burnley striker. But if you must then barnes lol

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

      I wouldn’t

    4. MidTableFantasy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't bother

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Burnley striker returns have been abysmal this season. I wouldn't go there.

    6. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Wood is fit, him. Otherwise, none. Barnes if you must

    7. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jay Rod was the last decent one to even consider.

    8. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Oh thats a bad case of DGW fever, I hope its not terminal

      1. Hiddenpaw
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Double defence it is then. Ha

  21. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Wilson to Vardy, Antonio, Kane???

    B) Or wait and bring in Kane next week for free, and use my free for Chilwell to a Burnley defender?

    C) both for hit

    1. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      who's on your bench for wilson?

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bench is currently Son Dallas Wilson

        Would then start Wilson replacement over Chilwell. Other option is BB which I'm reluctant to now.

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham's fixtures take a turn, and I'm not 100% sold on Vardy yet. Form wasn't great before injury. I'd go B.

  22. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have had Charlie Taylor hanging around like a horrid fart in my team for months now.

    Anyone know if he's back fit soon, ideally in time for next week !

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Open the window

  23. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1FT 4.6itb what to doooo

    Martinez
    Stones coufal rudiger lowton
    Salah sterling Bruno son
    Antonio bamford

    Forster soucek Mitchell davis

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Save

  24. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT, 4.4 ITB

    Martinez ¦ Forster
    Maguire Coufal Cancelo Lowton
    Bruno Rashford Grealish Barnes
    Jesus Ings
    ¦ Saka Wilson Holding

    Barnes -> Gundogan OR Wilson -> DC-L?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Will probably go that route.

  25. richarlison2348
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only one who went for Lowton? He seemed like a good option...

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone had good amount of cash, so they opted for Mee/Tark.

      Will have to get rid after WBA game anyway, so doesn't really matter much.

      1. richarlison2348
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ah. I had exactly 4.4 to spend on somebody, he seemed like the best choice for the money

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

      Don’t actually know why more people haven’t

      The other 2 have some goal threat but not much and he’s cheap

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm likely to be joining you, looked adventurous in the last game.

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I went lowton too

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yup on Lowton ; Mee/Tark is just wasted money hoping for a flukey corner.

    6. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no 3 good fixtures and at 4.4 a great fodder option as well,mee/tarko will probably cost an extra transfer out in the future..

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is this Pogba injury news legit?

    I know he's not a popular pick but helps the United attack tick.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba set to miss FA Cup fifth round against West Ham, league games against West Brom and Newcastle, as well as both Europe League ties with Real Sociedad. Could recover for Chelsea on February 28. #mufc

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

      Sky sports news said a few weeks

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ole did say a few weeks in his presser. Good for Bruno owners

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        And Rashford and Cavani in some senses and even defence, because despite the stick he's a strong player for them.

  27. CAP
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you BB this lot?

    Martinez, Bamford, Coufal, Dallas

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably yes, though GW25 might be better for BB

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Remember when you said there was no way Kane would feature vs West Brom

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, didn't know you were part of "I told you so" brigade.

          I got my points, will take that and run away...

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Normally I am not, but you said it as there was no other option. He was only coming on as a sub. So i needed to be sure to remind you. As I would have wanted you to do me if roles reversed! 🙂

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah who would take Mourinho at his word?

  28. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG? Plan to wildcard next week

    Pope (C)
    Dias/Cancelo/Taa/Cresswell
    Mane/Bruno/Rash/Gundo
    DCL/Antonio

    Forster/Saka/Coufal/Brewster?

    1.9 ITB// 0 FTs

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks fine.

  29. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How I currently line up for dgw24. Have 2FTs and 5.7itb. Probably should burn a transfer, but on whom? Thanks for any guidance you’re willing to provide.

    Martinez
    Stones, Cancelo, Mee, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Gundo, Grealish
    Antonio, DCL
    (Forster; Soucek, Bamford, Kilman)

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kilman to Cresswell and start Cresswell? Just to not waste it

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, good thinking.

        I went four weeks without a transfer earlier this season and gained rank. But not sure that lightning will strike twice.

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nothing wrong with not making one. Just figured id give you an option being you asked. Even another double gameweek defender? Digne maybe...Good luck!

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd upgrade Forster to a DGW GK if nothing else pressing

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I like this move as well. Nice thought

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Was actually considering Pope. Thanks.

    Who will score more points in the double out of Digne and Mee/Tarko? I need to start getting these 50/50 calls right!
