How the top 10k FPL managers set their teams up for Gameweek 37

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) is the key Fantasy Premier League asset among the top 10,000 managers for Gameweek 37.

The Egyptian comes into the penultimate round of fixtures as the most-captained player at this level.

66.9% of them have handed him the armband ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Burnley, a side that conceded four goals at Turf Moor at the weekend.

The results of the Gameweek 37 captaincy among the top 10k makes for plenty of disparity with those of our recent poll.

In that vote, Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m) and Salah were neck-and-neck at the top with roughly 30% of the votes each but, as you can see, just 13.1% of the top 10k backed the Manchester United midfielder for the home meeting with Fulham.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane (£11.8m) was the third-favourite in the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, but the runner-up among the top 10k.

16.6% of them handed him the Gameweek 37 armband, making for a majority of 50.3 percentage points for Salah as he visits Turf Moor.

Mason Greenwood (£7.3m), Sadio Mané (£11.7m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) are the differentials this week, backed by 0.9%, 0.3% and 0.3% respectively.

As a result of those captaincy statistics, we have two players with more than 100% effective ownership in the top 10k for Gameweek 37.

Salah is by far the more dominant one, offering an effective ownership figure of 162.8% while Kane only just creeps over the 100% mark with 102.1%.

Alexander-Arnold (80.4%), Fernandes (73.0%) and Jesse Lingard (71.4%) complete the top five.

The Bench Boost was the most-deployed chip for Gameweek 37, activated by 1.9% of the top 10k.

This is also the chip most likely to surface on the final day of the season as 1.9% of the managers at this level still have it in their back-pocket.

Blank Gameweek 36

Gameweek 37

Midfield appears to be where most of this week’s top-10k transfers occurred considering the relatively stable ownership figures among goalkeepers, defenders and forwards.

Diogo Jota (£6.9m) has seen his ownership at this level plummet for Gameweek 37 in light of his missing the Burnley game on Wednesday.

Greenwood is the new name inside the top-five most-popular FPL midfielders, creeping in with 43.6% ownership although, of course, he blanked against Fulham.

Ahead of scoring four points in Manchester United’s draw with the Cottagers, Fernandes increased his top-10k ownership from 56.6% to 60.3% between the two most recent FPL deadlines.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.5m) remain inside the top-three most-owned FPL forwards although there was a slight shift between them for Gameweek 37.

The Everton man saw his ownership drop from 51.2% to 46.5% at this level while Bamford’s dropped by 1.6 percentage points.

The top-five most-fashionable defenders remain the same with Alexander-Arnold, Stuart Dallas (£5.4m), Luke Shaw (£5.5m), Lucas Digne (£6.2m) and Rob Holding (£4.3m) lining up in the same order of popularity.

    Who do you reckon is the best defender for GW38 for upto 5.3m?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Alioski/ Tarko/ Coufal

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Def thinking Burnley or Coufal.

    2. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If you can't stretch to 5.4 for Dallas, then Rudiger or Tarkowski.

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Have Dallas already. Burnley seem to have the best fixture and i suppose Rudiger may have a chance of rotation?

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

      Coufal.

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coufal

  2. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Guaita, Forster
    TAA, Dallas, Shaw, Digne, Holding
    Salah, Son. Fernandes.Zaha. Jota
    Antonio, Watkins, DCL

    2 FT's. What are the best moves?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fernandes to Mane
      DCL or watkins to Bamford depending on finances

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

      Bruno+Jota > Mane+Willock

  3. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    No one complaining about the ghost Bruno assist?

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Plenty complaining ... but on deaf ears. Offside, Bruno didn’t touch it, admits didn’t touch it, replays show didn’t touch it ..... VAR mess .... farcical situation.

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Plenty on the last few pages.

    3. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Been the main topic on here tonight, Bruno admits himself that he didn't think he touched it.

  4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Even Match of the Day saying and showing Bruno didn’t touch the ball and Bruno saying himself he didn’t touch it!!

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's a joke!

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

        Big time mate!!

    2. Natho79
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's a disgrace plain and simple. VAR truly has ruined the joy of football. Beforehand you could say human error

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Andre Marriner should be suspended immediately and fined for his role in the Chelsea game today. It's insane there's never any repercussions.

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed mate!!! It’s shocking!! Thought Bamford was quality on Match of the Day about the clear penalty he should have had but coz he tried to stay on his feet it’s wasn’t given!! And saying to the ref ‘your saying I should dive then?’

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            It's crazy how daft ref's are, they're complicit in diving. I hate diving as much as anyone but you're spot on they will never give a penalty when someone stays up regardless of what's happened. I don't mind seeing players go over easy now. As a player who tries my best to not go down I know what it's like: expect nothing.

            1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah that’s right mate, they are basically inviting players to make the most of it if There’s any form of contact, I despise diving and play acting, but... what choice do they have??as Bamford experienced tonight.. Honesty is not always the best policy it seems!!!

      2. Natho79
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Why the edit on my post? Nothing controversial just truth.

      3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah it has mate I agree!! I find it baffling how there can give an offside using their lines when A players toenail is offside but yet cannot see full view from many different angles that Bruno clearly didn’t touch the ball!!

        1. Natho79
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          No words to describe the madness of our times.
          Time to give up the moneyball as there are other hobbies.

        2. Toby Lerone
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          This is madness tbf. They draw lines for marginal yet allow something like this. Shows how much of a shambles VAR is

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

    Meslier news changes plan for next week

    (Meslier, Forster)
    TAA, Coufal, Rudiger )Holding, Digne)
    Salah, Son, Lingard, Greenwood (J-Rod)
    Kane, DCL, Iheanacho

    1ft 0.5itb

    could do

    1. Forster > Casilla (cover bases - no hit)
    2. Son+J-Rod > Mane+Willock (-4)
    3. Greenwood/J-Rod > Willock/Raphinha/etc

    Thinking Forster+Greenwood > Casilla+Raphinha might be a decent -4

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Forster could play the last game.

      You could do DCL to Bamford last day.

      If I had to go for one of your options I'd go 3.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        City have shipped 3 goals two weeks in a row and will surely field a full b-team. Everton on the counter will play well I think.
        Feel the best way into Leeds for me is the midfield.

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I have DCL myself. Might have to consider holding him too.

          1. RogDog_jimmy
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            yeah - these city displays got me feeling better about him

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't you reckon Forster will play. Seems to be a pattern

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        i sure bloody hope so.

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Surely 2 pointer away to west ham?

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          yeah probably - kinda think there'll be a lot of 2-pointers last week come to think of it.

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

      Meslier + Greenwood for Pope (if fit) + Raphinha could work

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        yeah - like the Pope fixture but surely not risking it for another risky keeper

        1. Boberella
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Maybe just Forster to Casilla then if Casilla is nailed.
          You've got a very solid team otherwise.
          (Although with your rank, I really don't think I'm in the position to give you advice!!) 🙂

          1. RogDog_jimmy
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            i keep slipping back, it's killing me! cheers pal - good luck for the end to you!

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      what is the Meslier news ?

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      ah ok, won’t play next week

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        yep - just garbage.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Meslier & Guita owner here ;(

  6. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hahahaha... not even angry, sums up my season with Cancelo -3, getting Harrison and Greenwood(C) in for -4. Add to that blanks from Ings and JWP and a benched Iheanacho.
    7(-4) from half my team played lol

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That's unreal.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Oh jesus that is fair unlucky

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

      Wow. That makes my terrible start to the week look a bit better (11 -4 from 4)

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      good on ya for laughing through it.
      some hard luck for sure.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, yeah the whole season been going similarly, sold Cavani (who would've been my Captain) for Ings last GW also... onto next season with a 7 figure rank to improve on, shouldn't be too difficult!

    5. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Been one of those seasons. Last two months I've gone from 9k to 100k from a never ending string of injuries and shocking blanks. Take it on the chin and come back fighting next season. Let's enjoy the summer.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        wow - that's a super tough run

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yup, a forgetful campaign for many mate, onwards and upwards!

  7. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone fancy Semedo for punt next week ?

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No Semedo is terrible and Wolves defence has been poor.

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

      against United? surely better options

  8. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who scores more?

    Dallas -4 (WBA)
    or
    Konsa (CHE)

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas. Konsa probably a one pointer. Dallas could get a return.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think a defender is worth a hit now just for 1 game unless it's part of the package, just bank the 4 points

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas is way more fun that’s for sure. It’s the last day, I’d do it.

  9. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So we all know Bruno didn't touch that ball, right? Subsequently means the goal shouldn't have even stood and VAR took 5 seconds to just say ya sure award it.
    Conversely, Chelsea get another stonewall penalty where pundits literally can't even play devil's advocate and VAR waves it away in 5 seconds.
    Nothing suspicious here.

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

    If someone told me in September I would go into the final day with Ederson, Carson and Gundogan as my 3 City players I would have thought they were nuts.

  11. Hangman Page
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Did Fofana actually touch Werner for the penalty? Very hard to see when he did, it at all.

    The first incident with Tielmans he does what a lot players do now, which is deliberately place his leg between the ball and opposing player with no intention of playing it, but with every intention of being kicked and then going down.

    Just really depressing all round.

  12. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ings, what a disaster he’s been the last couple of weeks.
    With Meslier not playing I’ll probably just run with Forster.
    Would you go Ings to Bamford and upgrade midfield? No Che Adams so surely Ings starts but it’s Saints....
    Shaw been awful as well bringing him in on the tgw

    Mendy Forster
    Trent Shaw Dallas Holding Keane
    Salah Bale Harrison El Ghazi Greenwood
    Kane DCL Ings

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ings > Bam seems nice.
      Shaw has surely been a disappointment - one of the few good things i did in my wc was take him out after getting all his points.

  13. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If you're Spurs and cash in on Kane, how would you spend the £130m to improve the squad?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Levy will try to sign Grealish for 15m again

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Buy local strikers. Ings would suit them
      Go to bundesliga for a proper CB or 2
      Depends on who the manager is

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Levy didn't exactly spend the Bale money well, the same will probably happen again

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs need a complete overhaul. If Kane leaves you imagine Son may too.

      If I was spurs I'd try to get in Lukaku as the striker to replace Kane or if trading with city try to include Jesus in the deal. They would also need a backup striker

      They also need a CB, LB, RB, CM and CAM, wingers (maybe periera but I think they can buy better). Depends on what system they play

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

        Lukaku just won Serie A and will play in UCL

        No chance he'd downgrade to Spurs at this stage

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

      seems like they should figure out who the manager is first - and then figure out how they want to play.

      not many players on that team I'd covet for west ham to be honest. Son is class...and....hmmm....

  14. Kiwivillan

    Thank you Bamford for essentially cementing my cash league victory. Also rivals for putting C on Man U attackers

  15. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Early days folks but where do we think I can use my one FT??? Shame we can’t roll a free onto Gameweek 1 next season!!

    Martinez
    TAA Dallas Coufal
    Salah Son Lingard Greenwood
    Kane DCL Antonio
    Subs- Areola, Shaw, Dunk, Jota

    Many thanks!!

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Feels like you need a Leeds attacker
      So Lingard Greenwood or DCL out

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah Leeds attacker is the highest priority for sure mate!! Just gotta decide which one!! Haha

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

      I'd probably do Greenwood (or Jota) > Raphinha

      bench Greenwood - can't see him starting or playing a full fixture

      i'd keep and start DCL for sure - City are leaking goals with their makeshift teams, and 10% they're playing a full b-squad you'd imagine.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate, my initial thoughts was DCL to Bamford, but as you say about City’s line ups it’s made me think twice, and Everton have been better away from home too, think I’d keep and bench Greenwood and do Jota to Raphinha, second in my mini league has Harrison, should I do Jota to Harrison to block him instead??

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          ah that might make some sense - i never had to block so it feels weird to me. i'd take raphinha in a vacuum for sure.

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Actually I’ve just looked and I’m 65 points ahead so no need to block, will go Raphinha he’s the one I want any way!!

            1. RogDog_jimmy
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              nice! play the way you want. good luck!

                Cheer mate!!! Thanks for that!! Good luck too!! Hope you get into the top 1k!!! Great rank mate!!

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

      Id just go Jota to Leeds mid and bench Greenwood

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    how did Amartey get a yellow and not even play?

    1. leeboy104

      Amartey was a sub. There was a scuffle near the touchline and he got involved.

        ha 0 minutes played and still got a yellow, amazing.

          Melbourne City forward Tim Cahill was sent off as he prepared to come on as a substitute in the 2-1 derby defeat by Melbourne Victory in the A-League.

          The ex-Everton player was protesting against the decision to award Victory's winner in the 87th minute.

          The linesman had originally flagged Manny Muscat's own goal for offside but the decision was then overturned by referee Chris Beath.

          Cahill, 37, was shown a red card in the aftermath as he stood on the sidelines.

          City were left with 11 players as the substitution of the Australian international had not taken place.

            thats gold

      Got involved in the argy bargy at the end. Technically, maybe for entering the field of play?

    Cancello got -3 of which was a -1 for conceding 3 goals, seems a bit unfair to be penalised for conceding goals when not on the pitch, especially when a player can get a clean sheet even when their team concedes after they go off?

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      But who's fault is it they concede goals most likely?

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      City conceded 3 goals as a direct result of his red card, so absolutely right he continues to be docked points. When a defender gets subbed after 60mins on a CS, he doesn't leave his team numerically disadvantaged with a mountain to climb.

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's totally fair. Cancelo was as much responsible for them conceding goals as the players who stayed on the pitch. Very unlikely that City would have conceded 3 to Brighton with 11 men.

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s penalised for leaving his team with only 10 for 80 mins. The sending off offence and the minus points for leaving his team short are 2 separate issues

    5. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Completely fair. He caused the mess.

      1. micsway
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        all valid points, my point is he wasn't on the field, fair enough him going off could be attributed to them conceding the goals, but let's consider the reverse, the defender does a great job, goes off at 70min, bags the clean sheet, the team then concedes because his replacement makes a mistake, could argue if he had stayed on the clean sheet would have been preserved.

        the logic seems inconsistent here.

        1. leeboy104
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          You can't equate a team mate's mistake after you've been subbed with being sent off and leaving your team with 10 men. There's a material impact to being numerically disadvantaged.

        2. dabber7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          You're not comparing like with like.

          The defender "goes" off at 70 mins is very different to the defender being "sent" off at 70 mins, in which case he WOULDN'T ultimately have bagged the clean sheet.

          And quite rightly so, for the very reason you make ... "if he had stayed on, the clean sheet would have been preserved."

    Who would you play Sunday... Areola or Martinez

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Areola, it could be a must win game for Chelsea so expect martinez to concede a couple of goals

    2. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Areola for CS.

  19. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    play Konsa(CHE) or Coleman(MCI)?

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coleman.

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

      uh - coleman for his attacking potential i guess?

    I don’t think refs nor VAR are perfect by any stretch and the offsides have caused me a lot of frustration this season, but it’s very easy to sit in a studio or at home on your sofa and blame individual referees or VAR officials.

    Officials have been lambasted for as long as I can remember in 32 years watching the game. That’s a lot of refs who’ve come and gone. When it comes to humans making decisions under intense pressure, using very changing and always criticised laws and in front of huge, baying crowds in full knowledge that everything they do will be poured over at full time by unsympathetic ex-players, we really shouldn’t be surprised when they mess up now and again.

    1. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Well said.

      People need to stop talking about the Bruno assist/non assist now. It's boring.

      1. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        In fairness I am still bitter about a Sané “assist” that wasn’t given against Bournemouth in about 2018!

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Truth in this. I think the speed of the game, the deception of both attackers and defenders and the total mess the laws are in has made the game virtually impossible to referee. Things need to be simplified so we can enjoy the game again because ultimately football began as entertainment and healthy competition, not the business, money driven corrupt nonsense it is running headlong towards now

      1. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’m not even sure that anything can be done to eradicate errors entirely. Even with a VAR call you are relying on someone making a quick decision under intense pressure - they aren’t machines making these choices and for all pundits say, the decisions aren’t always simple - hence why you get two pundits in disagreement so frequently.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Indeed. Football will always be subjective and run by a human element that will make mistakes as we all do. We are in this bad period where human and tech are just not gelling, maybe the tech will improve over time but if not then like when retro comes good then lets go retro and bring back full human referee control with some sort of judgement of performance.

  21. JonSnow

    that bruno "assist" has taken my cash ML rival ahead of me as he (c) him.

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

      Surely you cant blame potentially losing your ML on 3 points?

      1. JonSnow
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No i still think i will win, but the extra points are annoying when its neck and neck

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

          you'll be fine. Im sure your captain will outscore 4

  22. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    No chance Foden plays on Sunday right...

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wooohooo Fodenfreude!

    2. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You would think that it's highly unlikely but who wants to second guess Pep?

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

      oh i'd guess the odds are straight up 0%.
      I suppose if Torres & Aguero are legit injured it leaves them a little thin so maybe he comes on for a bit.

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

        Sterling Jesus Bernardo
        KDB Rodri Fernandinho

        Thats their front 6 id guess if no Torres Aguero Mahrez and Foden

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          i'd guess that kdb won't play the full 90 so maybe one of foden/mahrez gets a run out then.
          or maybe Gundo - he seems a steady dude to go out for 45 mins and not stress out too much.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Pep may want to gives his CL team a run out ?

  23. The Knights Template
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Absolute disgrace Bruno wasn't given a ghost goal!

  24. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of Shaw, Greenwood and Foden playing on Sunday?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      0

  25. Stupendous
    • 11 Years

    If Aguero is fit...

    Dcl to Aguero?

    Gives me Kane Firmino Aguero for a final day flutter!!!

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      i'd prefer DCL to be honest.

  26. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That Meslier benching was a bitter pill

  27. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pull the trigger on DCL -> Firmino?

    Have exact funds and can't see anyone else worth bringing in for the last GW, Liverpool left with all to play for and all. Will be priced out in 30 mins.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      100%

      Although...

      He hasn't played yet.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm so should I hold off and look to move elsewhere?

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

      i like DCL.
      expecting a return next week.

      i like the idea of firmino - but i wouldn't sell DCL.

      also saw a rumor of Jota being back tomorrow/sunday....maybe bobby doesn't get a full game.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers will probably wait to see how the week unfolds given there are arguably other better options atm

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hey fam!

    1. Is Mane the best replacement for Bruno?

    2. Play Dunk & downgrade Greenwood to someone or play Greenwood & downgrade Digne to someone and bench Dunk?

    Martinez
    TAA Dunk Dallas
    Salah(C) Bruno Greenwood Lingard Willock
    Kane Bamford

    Areola Brewster Digne Targett

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mane and Digne to Coufal (play Greenwood)

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate

  29. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This is provisional set up for next week depending on tomorrow and press conferences. Have in mind either

    A Son to Mané on free
    B Greenwood to Mané and DCL to Rodrigo -4( just short of Bamford)
    C Greenwood to Mané, DCL to Bamford and Digne to Coufal -8 (play Coufal over Holding)

    What do you think?

    Leno
    TAA Dallas Holding
    Salah (c) Son Lingard Raphinha Greenwood
    Kane DCL

    Forster Vydra Digne Fofana

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

      Can you get Greenwood --> Mane money without getting rid of DCL?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes with Digne to 4.4 - Alioski?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          * or Lowton v Sheffield United

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

      like Son > Mane.
      keep it simple.

      or the -4 doing Greenwood+Digne > Mane+cheap defender.

  30. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Better transfer for 38?

    A) DCL -> Firmino
    B) Bruno -> Mane

    Cheers!

    1. leeboy104

      B

    2. Pep Roulette

      B

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

      B

      Bruno probably won't play.
      Start DCL against City. It's their b-team (at best) and they're letting in goals galore.

    4. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years

      Thanks all!
