Frisking the Fixtures

Who has the best and worst fixtures over the Double and Blank Gameweeks?

It’s been a while since our last “frisk” of the fixtures.

A succession of back-to-back Gameweeks, last-minute postponements and a drip-feed of rearranged fixture announcements have made the winter a tricky period for Fantasy managers.

Reacting to the very next Gameweek has been a challenge, never mind planning further ahead.

But following last Friday’s beautifully timed press release from the Premier League, we now know when the bulk of the outstanding matches will take place.

Aston Villa v Everton and Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton are the only two remaining games without a new date, with the former a possibility to be added to the pre-March international break calendar.

And it’s this period in particular that we’ll be addressing in this article, given that it includes two Double Gameweeks (potentially three, if Villa v Everton gets added to Gameweek 28) and one Blank Gameweek.

We’ll also have a cursory look at the calendar beyond this point, at the foot of this piece.

NEXT FOUR GAMEWEEKS: THE BREAKDOWN – AS IT STANDS


2 x fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, 1 x fixture in Blank Gameweek 29Spurs, Fulham, Aston Villa (3)
2 x fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, 0 x fixture in Blank Gameweek 29Everton, Leicester, Liverpool, Crystal Palace, West Brom, Sheff Utd, Man Utd, Wolves, Burnley, Chelsea (10)
2 x fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, 2 x fixtures in Double Gameweek 27, 0 x fixture in Blank Gameweek 29Man City (1)
1 x fixture in Double Gameweek 26, 2 x fixtures in Double Gameweek 27, 0 x fixture in Blank Gameweek 29Southampton (1)
1 x fixture in Double Gameweek 26, 1 x fixture in Blank Gameweek 29Arsenal, Leeds, Brighton, Newcastle, West Ham (5)

Spurs, Fulham and Aston Villa are the obvious teams to target for those Fantasy managers wanting a player with two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26 and an unaffected game in Blank Gameweek 29.

Players we don’t already own from Arsenal, Leeds, Brighton, Newcastle and West Ham are low down the priority list this week but will become appealing again in the lead-up to Blank Gameweek 29.

Manchester City have back-to-back doubles starting from this weekend, while those holding onto Southampton assets have already begun a rollercoaster schedule that involves two Double Gameweeks, two single Gameweeks and a blank.

BEST AND WORST FIXTURES OF DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26

Those who use our Season Ticker will have spotted that the new fixtures were added shortly after Friday’s announcement, with a rejig of the difficulty ratings following suit.

All of which leaves Everton (SOU | wba) at the top of our ticker if we look at Double Gameweek 26 in isolation, which those of us on a Free Hit will be doing.

The leakiest defences in the top flight await the Toffees over the next week, with Southampton and West Bromwich Albion the worst two clubs for goals conceded in 2021.

Even discounting the 9-0 thrashing at Old Trafford, Saints would still languish in the bottom three for that stat.

Those two teams, along with Everton themselves, it has to be said, have just one clean sheet apiece to their names this calendar year.

Tottenham Hotspur‘s (BUR | ful) brace of games perhaps looks better from a defensive perspective than it does attacking-wise.

Fulham and Burnley actually have the division’s joint-second-best defences over the last 15 Gameweeks, even if Nick Pope‘s (£5.6m) recent clean sheet record – four in 13 – is unremarkable.

The two sides may be capable of conceding, but they seldom get turned over.

Leicester City (ARS | bur) also face the shot-shy Clarets and an Arsenal side who have largely struggled for goals against the Champions League-chasing elite.

How Aston Villa fared without Grealish ahead of Double Gameweek 26

Aston Villa‘s (lee | shu) double-header is among the most appealing, not least because the Villans have excelled on the road this season.

An injury to Jack Grealish (£7.7m) looks like it may deprive Fantasy managers of the opportunity to field the Villa talisman against two suspect backlines, with Sheffield United’s defence injury-hit and out of form (one clean sheet all season) and Leeds’ own rearguard capable of self-combusting in any given game.

At the other end of our Season Ticker, Chelsea‘s (MUN | liv) defensive solidity under new boss Thomas Tuchel will be put to the test against two of the ‘big six’, while Pope may be relying heavily on save points in Burnley‘s (tot | LEI) two Double Gameweek 26 matches.

BEST AND WORST FIXTURES OF GAMEWEEKS 26-29

Those clubs with an extra fixture will naturally gravitate towards the top of our Season Ticker anyway but Aston Villa (lee + shu |WOL | new | TOT) and Spurs (BUR + ful | CRY | ars | avl) do have decent runs regardless, with ragged defences in Newcastle and Palace awaiting after Double Gameweek 26.

All of Leicester‘s next four opponents (ARS + bur | bha | SHU) are in the bottom half for goals scored in 2020/21, meanwhile.

Assets from these three clubs may well form the backbone of many Gameweek 26 sides, given that they tick multiple boxes: an appealing double-header in the coming Gameweek, attractive fixtures immediately after, and, in Spurs and Villa’s case, the bonus match in Blank Gameweek 29.

West Brom’s post-Double Gameweek schedule (BHA + EVE | new | CRY) is also positive-looking, for those considering a differential Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) pick.

The West Ham (mci | LEE | mun | ARS) love affair might be temporarily over in FPL, as they are among the six teams without two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26 and have some iffy upcoming matches in terms of difficulty.

Their next three opponents, including runaway leaders Manchester City, are all in the top five for goals scored in 2020/21.

Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) and co will be back on the menu and dusted down off benches in Gameweek 29, however.

A clash with Palace is the only real favourable fixture for Manchester United (che + cry | mci | WHU) over the coming three Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Trips to two of the division’s most in-form defences sandwich that match against the Eagles and Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) didn’t score in any of the reverse fixtures of his three games in Gameweeks 26 and 27.

Chelsea‘s (MUN + liv | EVE | lee) next four games are all against teams in the top half for goals scored in 2020/21: should they emerge from that period with a couple of clean sheets or more, then their in-form defenders will be high on the priority list for Gameweeks 30-34.

EUROPEAN SCHEDULES

Image

Just to further complicate matters, European football has recommenced over the last week.

Moderator Legomane has produced a matrix above which illustrates when the other, non-Premier League fixtures will take place over the coming month.

Manchester City are playing twice a week, every week, until the March international break, while Spurs, Leicester and Manchester United will follow suit if they continue to progress in the Europa League.

Expect a spot of rotation from these teams (among others), with Pep Guardiola indeed saying after Wednesday’s win over Borussia Monchengladbach:

GAMEWEEK 30 ONWARDS

It’s worth a brief look at the schedule beyond Blank Gameweek 29, as some Fantasy managers will be “dead-ending” their squads for that decimated, four-match Gameweek and activating their Wildcard straight after.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal sit towards the top of the Season Ticker from this point.

Wolves’ run from Gameweeks 31-35 (ful | SHU | BUR | wba | BHA) stands out, while Arsenal face the bottom five and Crystal Palace in the run-in.

The problems when we get to this time of the season, of course, are motivation and distractions elsewhere.

Wolves will likely be solidly mid-table and in “on the beach” territory, while Arsenal’s primary focus could well be on the Europa League, which probably now represents their best chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Liverpool‘s final seven fixtures (lee | NEW | mun | SOU | wba | bur |CRY) look pretty good, too. Given that they might still be scrapping for a top-four finish by that point, perhaps the Reds’ assets who have so underwhelmed in 2020/21 will have one final big say in what has been a turbulent FPL season.

      B comfortably i think

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

    Would you BB this:

    Areola Bamford Raphinha Dallas

    1. BB as it is
    2. Raphinha >> Lookman (BB)
    3. Dallas >> Dier / Holgate (BB)
    4. Keep the 3x Leeds and BB30 v SHU

    Thanks.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1 or 4, leaning to 1.

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

        1 or 4 same i think 1

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

        Thank you, tough finding a suitable replacement for any of them

        None of the affordable Everton defenders are nailed (Holgate Coleman Godfrey) and I already have 3 Villa players so can’t bring in another

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

      2

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

      Just to cause a stir. I'm leaning towards number 3

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

      1 over 4 just

      I'm guessing that there's quite a high likelihood that one or two of your Leeds will be starters in 30 and so it's not an exact parallel and double Areola this week worth it

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You’re right... team could change massively up to 30

        So can you think of any suitable transfers for the Leeds boys to bring in a doubler for the BB or just stick with them v AVL

  3. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Maja + Digne
    B) Diagne + Keane

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

      A

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

      A

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

    For everyone (anyone), reading and still owning BB.

    I think playing now is wise knowing how wacky this season has been.

    Planning a BB for a blank week 3 or 4 gameweeks from now is starting to sound a bit crazy to me. Likely ends poorly.

    I'm ready for it now. Feels right. Squad is set with the 3 leeds lads and solid starters with 2 matches.

    BB time!

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

      I'm dead ending into 29 and will use WC in 30 fwiw

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What are you doing this week? FH?

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

          Ugh? Read again?

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            My bad. Pardon my negligence. I just focussed on your comment and not the original post.

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

      You're basically BB'ing three Leeds assets against Villa.
      I wouldn't do that.
      You can get 3 SGW players for a BB in any week.

  5. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo and Cancelo will probably be benched vs WH.

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

      Ugh. Not great. Rival has Ederson Dias v my Stones Cancelo

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Have Stones Gundo and Cancelo myself.
        Gulp!

    2. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably all get minimum 90 over the 2. Don’t think many will get the full 180.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Likely i think. Im on FH and going with Ederson and Stones.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Possible

      Hoping for 60 min job done cameos

    5. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And you know this, how?

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

        It's in the article. Pep said he'd rotate 5-7 players for WH. Lot of mileage on Gundo and Cancelo...

  6. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this FH Team?

    Ederson
    Digne Pereira Reguilon Stones/Semedo
    Salah Son B.Traore
    Kane Vardy DCL

    Strujik Alzate

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

      Excellent imo

      Missing a couple subs mind

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate.

  7. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts appreciated:

    I was previously locked in on TC Kane for this week. But I’m starting to think that this may be the ideal week to BB (even with McCarthy and Coufal), as it’s the week that I’m almost guaranteed all 15 to start at least once (rotation in non-DGWs could be a kick in the groin!):

    Areola*
    Cancelo* Stones* Mitchell*
    Bruno* Son* Salah* Gundo* Raphina
    DCL* (K)ane*

    McCarthy Bamford Dallas Coufal

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or perhaps better off BBing next week. City have another double (so my three are likely to get at least one start each), and I’d be boosting:

      Areola (liv)
      DCL (che)
      Mitchell (tot)
      Dallas (whu)

      That seems less appealing than this week...

    2. mrrahrah
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking the exact thing, I’m now pretty set on bench boost as well. It would mean a minus 8 but I’m keen to take coufal out as well. Really keen for any suggestions I just think there will be another lowton that pays off. Is pereira a good shout?

      I’m not worried about 29 will be a low scoring week for everyone I reckon

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pereira is a great shout if you’re keen to take a hit!

        I’m personally not taking a hit to replace Coufal; I’d just accept his likely low return as, let’s say he gets 3 points across 26 and 29 (reasonable worst case), that leaves me needing 7 from the guy I bring in to break even (11 if I end up itching to get him back). At that price point, I doubt I’d get it. And that’s ignoring the fact I’d start him next week...

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

          Yeah that’s fair enough and good logic with a bb I already have 11 double gameweek players and it’s really fine margins this season when it comes to taking hits

  8. OleBall
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions please?

    Martinez
    Stones Dias Targett Shaw
    Gundo Salah Bruno Maddison*
    Watkins Kane

    Areola Bamford Raphinha Dallas

    1ft 0.2itb

    Maddison > Barnes?
    -4 Raph/Dallas > ???

  9. Salalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How is this WC team?

    Martinez
    Stones Digne Pereira
    Bruno Son Barnes Gund
    Kane (C) DCL Watkins

    Fabri Aina Struijk ESR

    Gives me 11 DGW and 7 for GW29

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Needs more city for me. Back to back doubles are not to be ignored

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

        They are going to be rotated anyways, and feel like others can match them in next 5

  10. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you BB this with -4?:
    Sanchez
    LOWTON
    MITCHELL
    BREWSTER

    2FT, thinking of transferring (-4):
    Fodder>Sanchez
    Coufal>PEREIRA
    Antonio>DCL

    Team would be:
    MARTINEZ
    DIAS / STONES / DIGNE
    SALAH / BRUNO / SON / GREALISH / GUNDO
    DCL / Ings

    Sanchez / LOWTON / MITCHELL / BREWSTER

    I feel like the BB may not be the right play. What do you say?

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

      No chance. Awful bench/BB

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

        Sorry just is

        1. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I honestly agree just thought I might try to capitalize on the DGW. Leaning towards saving it and possibly TC. If i dont BB there is no reason to get Sanchez in and i dont have to take -4 either

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I think that would be the sensible play.

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Have to agree there.

    2. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry Digne would be Pereira

    3. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you don’t have FH, leave your fodder and Coufal (GW29) and have a bench of

      Fodder
      Coufal
      Brewster
      [unclear from your post as you mention bringing in Pereira but don’t have his name on your sheet]

  11. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one you prefer?

    1. Targett & barnes
    2. Digne & traore
    3. Periera & traore

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A because Barnes

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

      1 because no Traore

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

      1 because of Targett

    4. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes and Digne is the combo you should be aiming for imo. If not, I don’t mind Digne and Matheus Pereira

  12. Sanchit
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How was gundo last night?
    Quick check on the stats seems like he didn't attack as much? 0 shots and 1 chance created

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Eye test was in the box a fair bit still. I don’t own Gundo so I kept a close eye on him to see what he was up to. Still great pick imo

  13. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Captaincy is such a pickle this week. First had it on Salah, then Bruno, then DCL, then Kane, back to Bruno, back to Kane etc etc now i'm even tempted to get KDB for Salah (on WC) and captain him instead.

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      KdB has one goal from open play this season.
      With Salah Bruno DCL and Kane as options, no need to go to KdB I think.

  14. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What should be my transfer?
    A) Pope to Martinez
    B) Lowton to Targett
    C) Lowton to Dier
    D) Save a transfer

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D and use for next DGW

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years

      Surely you can summon something better than these options lol

  15. Lucky Z

    Help needed, guys!

    Martinez

    Sterling | Gundo | Son | Bruno |
    DCL | Kane | Bamford

    Forster | Grealish | Dallas | Struijk

    0FT, 0.8ITB

    Is Grealish => Barnes worth a hit?

    A. Yes and bench Bamford
    B. Yes and BB
    C. Yes and BB only with additional Forster => Pickford -8
    D. No, GTG

    1. waldo666

      D

  16. waldo666
    • 13 Years

    1 FT and 0.2 ITB

    Pope
    Shaw Stones Cancelo
    Salah Son Bruno Gundo Raphinha
    Bamford Ings

    (McCarthy Dallas Antonio Coufal)

    99% doing Ings to DCL with my 1 FT, not really feeling it for any hits but may have just been looking at it for too long.

    Any fresh eyes seeing something I'm not?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only other option involves losing Salah for Kane

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, not interested in that move, thanks though.

    2. Dwotle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Looks good. Captaining DCL?

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Captaining Bruno, might even TC.

        1. Dwotle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years

      Only problem is Pep roulette may leave you with one too many SGWers. I might take a hit for some DGW insurance, but not necessary.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah you're right but think I'm just gunna run the gauntlet on City, cheers.

      Defender lower than 5.4?

      1. Casual Player

        3 years, 1 month ago

        Stones.

    Out of loop last few days

    Is there any news on Grealish's injury from ITK?

    Mitchel and Antonio for Dier and Watkins with a -4 sounds good?

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

      I meant Dier and Watkins in and Mitchel and Antonio out

    2. Dwotle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Yes

  20. Pukki Blinders

    Comes down to two...

    Bruno(TC) or DCL(c)

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not making sense to me, if you are considering Bruno for TC you obviously think he scores more than DCL so then why if not TCing would you captain DCL?

    So is Reguilón first choice for Mou? Worth transferring in? (Want a double defender this week and also one who is playing in GW29)

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

      Rested tonight, if he stays fit looks a good pick imo

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

      Looks like that. He is probably their best hope of attacking impact after Son and Kane

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s their best defender. If fit he plays in the prem

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

    And the sudden urge to activate the WC has begun...

  23. FCSB

    Would you BB this:

    Areola Bamford Raphinha Dallas

    1. BB as it is
    2. Raphinha >> Lookman (BB)
    3. Dallas >> Dier / Holgate (BB)
    4. Keep the 3x Leeds and BB30 v SHU

    Thanks 🙂

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

      1

  24. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get Lucas Moura for Grealish?

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

      probably not

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.

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

      No

    4. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah nope

    5. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lucas is never an option. Sadly

    Dallas or Lowton this week?

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

      Lowton

  26. OleBall
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Dier & Raphinha (-4)
    B) Keane & Raphinha (-4)
    C) Dallas & DGW

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

      Some reason not posting properly.

      A) Dier & Raphinha (-4)
      B) Keane & Raphinha (-4)
      C) Dallas & DGW >6.0 Midfielder (-4)
      D) Dallas & Raphinha (Free)

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

        D. Mainly because can’t think of a DGW midfielder who scores enough to cover hit and fact won’t play in 29 .... McGinn / Lookman maybes

  27. Andrew Garfield
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm stuck.. I plan to activate TC @GW26
    Should i ?
    1. Salah
    2. Fernades
    3. Sterling
    4. Gündogan
    5. DCL
    6. Watkins

    Suggestion pls...

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

      It’s between 1 and 2. Definitely discount the other 4

      1. Andrew Garfield
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, but both of them have to face with Blue Lion which is now back to victories since Tuchel has arrived..

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2

      1. Andrew Garfield
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think so...

    3. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have all but Sterling. TC staying on Bruno unless something happens in today's game.

      1. Andrew Garfield
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I just feel Pep will give him to play one match only..

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

      2 or 5.

      1. Andrew Garfield
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Do you have any clue to pick #5.. ?

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

          He's playing two very leaky defences. From an attacking standpoint they're the best fixtures.

          1. Andrew Garfield
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Ok thanks, let wait before deadline coming..

  28. ScoutHelp

    Is Mee to Dier for -4 worth it?

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

      Is Dier nailed? I'm looking at him

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

        I'm wondering the same

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

    Would you bench boost Pops, Raph, Dallas, Ward Prowse And C Kane. Or just TC Kane?!

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

      Hmmm both could be equally lucrative...

      I would TC as not sure there will be as good time to play it

      However with BB not sure you are going to (should) have a strong bench again...

      On balance TC

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

      Kane vs Pope, Raphinha, Dallas, Ward Prowse

      hmmm, would BB
