Scout Notes

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma catch the eye as Toney shows more threat

We’ve Scout Notes on two more Premier League games from Gameweek 2, looking at the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from both matches.

For a recap of all of Saturday’s games click here, while a summary of Sunday’s fixtures can be found here.

Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 Watford

  • Goals: Shane Duffy (£4.1m), Neal Maupay (£6.5m)
  • Assists: Pascal Gross (£6.0m), Yves Bissouma (£4.5m)
  • Bonus: Duffy x3, Bissouma x2, Maupay x1

£4.1 DUFFY IN DEMAND

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma 2

Shane Duffy‘s (£4.1m) FPL renaissance continued in style on Saturday with a goal, a clean sheet and a 14-point haul against Watford.

In the ongoing absence of Joel Veltman (£4.5m) and Dan Burn (£4.5m), the budget defender continues to stake a place for not only a sustained run in Brighton and Hove Albion’s starting XI but also our Fantasy squads – particularly as Kostas Tsikimas’s (£4.1m) race might be run with the return of Andrew Robertson (£7.0m).

Tsimikas is the only FPL defender who has had more transfers in than Duffy ahead of Gameweek 3, with over 160,000 managers recruiting the Ireland international.

“Shane has done really, really well, he’s been a breath of fresh air. It’s a credit to him and we just want to help him enjoy his football which he is doing.” – Graham Potter on Shane Duffy

There are legitimate medium-term concerns about what happens when Veltman and Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m) make a comeback but Duffy barely put a foot wrong on Saturday, with Brighton’s defence – which has been solid under Graham Potter for some time – utterly shutting down Watford. Robert Sanchez (£4.5m) made just one save, with the Hornets’ expected goal (xG) tally of 0.45 the third-lowest of Gameweek 2 so far.

One other thing to note is how much Duffy’s presence at corners and free-kicks seems to be damaging Lewis Dunk‘s (£5.0m) FPL appeal: the former has popped up with a division-high seven attempts from set-piece situations this season, the latter zero.

It’s better news for Pascal Gross (£6.0m) and Solly March (£5.5m), however, Albion’s two dead-ball specialists who have another giant target to aim at. Gross now has two assists in as many matches.

BISSOUMA’S IMPORTANCE

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma 1

Much has been made of Ben White‘s (£4.5m) departure to Arsenal but centre-half is one area where Albion aren’t lacking for options who can slip seamlessly into a well-drilled system, even with Veltman and Burn out.

Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) is someone they probably can’t afford to lose, however, and it’s worth paying attention to what happens to the Mali international ahead of next week’s transfer deadline as his future could have a big say on the appeal of Brighton’s Fantasy assets – particularly their defenders – in 2021/22.

The midfield shield was absolutely superb on Saturday, ranking top among FPL midfielders in Gameweek 2 for interceptions (five) and joint-third for tackles won. Indeed, it was his dispossession of the visitors’ Tom Cleverley (£5.0m) that led to an assist for Neal Maupay‘s (£6.5m) goal.

While the attacking returns will be few and far between (this was his third in four seasons), his status as the most-owned £4.5m midfielder will likely only be challenged by the corner-taking Billy Gilmour (£4.5m) in the short to medium term.

MAUPAY INJURY LATEST

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma 3

Maupay made it two goals in as many games but a shoulder problem forced the striker off at half time.

“He’s not too bad. We’ll see how it goes over the next day or so. We’re hopeful it’s just a few days/weeks. That’s what we’re hoping for.” – Graham Potter on Neal Maupay

The Hornets’ own Gameweek 1 goalscoring hero, Emmanuel Dennis (£5.0m), barely got a sniff.

And this was the second successive match in which Watford, who boasted the best defensive record in the Championship last season, conceded two goals; they had also shipped on 10 occasions in three meetings with Premier League sides in pre-season.

A yearly reminder, then, that the step up in class can make a mockery of second-tier statistics, particularly when sides are readjusting to the higher calibre of opponent.

“The Premier League doesn’t give you a second chance. This is the level. Sometimes you make a mistake, this is the Premier League. Today it was like this.” – Xisco Munoz

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez; Webster, Dunk, Duffy; March, Lallana (Moder 80), Bissouma, Gross; Trossard (Mwepu 72), Maupay (Connolly 45), Mac Allister.

Watford XI: Bachmann; Masina, Kabasele, Troost-Ekong, Cathcart (King 65); Louza (Hernandez 45), Etebo, Cleverley; Sema (Deeney 78), Dennis, Sarr.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Brentford

  • Goals: None
  • Assists: None
  • Bonus: Pontus Jansson (£4.5m) x3, Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) x2, Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.5m) x1

DEFENCES ON TOP

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma

Despite Brentford’s goalscoring exploits in the second tier and Crystal Palace’s summer replacement of the pragmatic-but-dour Roy Hodgson, these two sides’ defences have outperformed their attacking assets so far.

The Bees now have two clean sheets from two and it’s perhaps no surprise, with a 3-5-2 formation preferred to more expansive 4-3-3 set-up. Even the wing-back system, which was used towards the back-end of 2020/21, has been made more safety-first with the inclusion of three bona fide central midfielders rather than a more attack-minded option like Saman Ghoddos (£5.5m) behind the front two.

As for Palace, the capture of Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) – as well as the signing of the promising Marc Guehi (£4.5m) – looks an astute one given how much he galvanised Fulham’s backline last season.

The two sides’ defences have allowed a combined 56 shots so far this season but, crucially, have only conceded one big chance apiece.

Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) and Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.5m) picked up bonus points to supplement their clean sheets on Saturday, with the latter in an ‘out of position’ role in his more customary central midfield.

David Raya‘s (£4.5m) superb save from James McArthur (£4.5m) helped preserve his shut-out and status as the highest-scoring sub-£5.0m goalkeeper.

ANOTHER BLANK FOR TONEY – BUT MORE PROMISE?

Budget FPL players Duffy and Bissouma 5

The two sides’ talismans, Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) and Ivan Toney (£6.5m), drew blanks for the second successive week, with the former in particular flattering to deceive.

Toney was more involved in the goalmouth action than he had been in a shot-less outing against Arsenal, at least, registering five attempts in all, one of which was a towering header from inside the six-yard box from a corner.

“100%, Ivan will score goals. I felt in the game today there was fantastic work ethic, he worked so hard to pressure and he was a constant threat throughout the game. He’ll be tough on himself because he knows he should have scored one of the big chances from the corner. If he can’t give us goals now, he’ll give them in another time.”

“I don’t think he tried too hard. I think sometimes we lacked a situation where we played him in for a bigger chance. Also from set piece situations. I think he had a very decisive action where he sent a cross across goal in the second half. He was very efficient.” – Thomas Frank on Ivan Toney

The ‘out of position’ Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) continues to catch the eye, taking three of Brentford’s corners and hitting the woodwork with a direct free-kick.

Palace’s Conor Gallagher (£5.5m) had a similar afternoon, taking the Eagles’ set plays and striking the underside of the bar with a close-range shot of his own.

“I think Conor had a really good game. I think he was unlucky not to score the chance that he created. He was full of energy on the field.

“The club worked really hard to bring him to Palace, and there was a couple of clubs around him.” – Patrick Vieira on Conor Gallagher

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Ward; McArthur, Kouyate, Gallagher; Zaha, Benteke, Schlupp (Ayew 68).

Brentford XI: Raya; Pinnock, Jansson, Ajer; Henry, Janelt (Bidstrup 87), Norgaard, Onyeka (Ghoddos 70), Canos; Mbuemo (Wissa 77), Toney.

    Don't know what to do with this lot
    2FT
    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Tsimikas, Shaw, Amartey, White
    Salah, Bruno, Mahrez, Benrahma, Gilmour
    Ings, Toney, Antonio

    Keep Mahrez for one more gw or get rid?

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Good team - top 100k?

      Think I'd be looking at Raphina for Marhez and plan for Lukaku in for Toney... anything ITB?

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No, 146K

        Thanks for the advice.

        Nothing in the bank

  2. asdf_1

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Brighton set to sign Marc Cucurella from Getafe at last, paying his €18 million release clause.

    Cucurella is one of the best lwb in la liga. One to monitor for sure.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      With him in and Lamptey back aswell Brighton will be very exciting to watch

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's great in Football Manager if that count's for anything.

    3. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That seems like a very low fee for such a good young talent.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      What will him and Lamptey back say for the nailedness of Duffy and Veltman?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Can't see Lamptey being displaced if he's ever fit again, likely to leave Veltman and Duffy fighting for that CB spot

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Nothing. Duffy is a CB & Veltman is a RCB/RB/RWB. Cucurella at least means they probably intend to stick with with wing-backs, meaning 3 CBs.

        Realistically Duffy could come out for Veltman, would would play at RCB.

        1) March - Webster - Dunk - Veltman - Lamptey (1st Choice?)
        2) March - Dunk - Duffy - Webster - Veltman (Until Lamptey fit)

        Burn is also out. Imagine Veltman/Lamptey may still need time to get up to proper fitness.

    5. Hint
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting. Could be a good 4.5 option hopefully.

  3. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What are we thinking about Mount & Havertz, who starts more often throughout the season?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mount

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mount. I think he's a good pick come GW7.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I really believe in Mount this season, think he'll be much better as an FPL asset as long as he starts every week, but really unsure because of the depth of the front 3 in the Chelsea squad

  4. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this team
    Sanchez Foster
    Livramento B.Williams Taa Shaw Sanchez
    Salah Bruno ESR Raph Brownhill
    Armstrong Lukaku Antonio

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Good

    2. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd struggle to be starting esr every week. He's got talent and looks good, but Arsenal is in quite a funk....

    3. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Odegaard over ESR?

  5. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Will you do this if Salah is confirmed out for gw4?

    Salah + Tsikimas + Greenwood >> Son + Dias + Grealish for -4?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      or keep Greenwood and do the first 2 for free?

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just stick him on the bench. You will spend 4 to do that, and 4 to undo it. Are you going to gain more than 8 points (and 4 free transfers) from the players you are bringing in

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Trying to take advantage of less owned Son for their 2 nice fixtures and Salah with Chelsea and gw 4 doubt, may pay back big if it works out. Dias also for Tsimikas may work out well. Thinking of an early WC

        1. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          the funny thing about FPL is the best thing you can usually do in response to the majority of situation is absolutely nothing. we are our own worst enemy.

    3. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Salah > Son gw3. Then Bruno > Salah

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Need to take a few gambles early on to make gains, but could also backfire of course. Will most probably go ahead and do it knowing how impatient I am.

    4. MESSINHO
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently he'll not miss GW4. Even he ends up missing, I wouldn't take Greenwood out for -4. Just Salah -> Son for me.

  6. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bit stuck on transfer this week

    Sanchez 4
    TAA Shaw White/Ayling (Tsim)
    Salah Bruno Grealish Torres Benrah
    Ings Antonio 4.5

    Tsim or Torres look like the weak links.

    A) Tsim --> Duffy
    B) Tsim --> Livemental
    C) Torres --> Raph
    D) Something else

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A given the fixtures and form

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B

      Livramento probably more nailed than Duffy.

    3. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd consider White a weak link there... Though assuming he recovers well, he could be back for the nicer fixtures after the break... But are Arsenal's defense going to get (m)any clean sheets??

  7. footballfreak
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    1.5 in bank and 0 free transfers. Thinking about taking a hit and going greenwood and toney to son and dennis once i find out about sons fitness. Thinking i could get enough points from (c) son to cover the hit. What you think guys?

    Sanchez
    Shaw TAA Ayling Amartey
    Benrahma Greenwood Salah Fernandes (c)
    Ings Antonio
    Subs: Toney, Brownhill, Tsimi

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely not worth a -8

      1. footballfreak
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        sorry its 1 free transfer so -4

  8. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you rather have as your DM. Rice or Ndidi? West ham fans think Rice is far better

    1. ADucksBehind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very tough call. I'd take Rice but marginally

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ndidi is a top player, Rice is younger but if he improves further, will surpass Ndidi. Now Ndidi.

    3. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Think it depends on the team they're in.

      Arsenal would benefit from Ndidi more so for example.

  9. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Do we see DCL getting any attacking returns against Brighton away?

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Everton seem to be playing more attacking, scoring but also conceding in the process. DCL is a nice one to have with the upcoming fixtures

    3. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      hopefully not as a Sanchez owner, I'm looking to bring in DCL GW4 however

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Brighton defensively good at home. Just seeing is it worth bringing that move forward from GW4

  10. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Very random but any Germans around today? Are bars/pubs open as normal in Germany does anybody know?

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

      Every state has its own rules, it differs according the 7 day incidence, in most of states, outdoor dining is allowed, in nordrhein westfalen you should prove a negative PCR or antigen test, in many other states if you are vaccinated or infected previously, you dont need any test.

    2. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in Baden-Württemberg. Generally if you're double-jabbed and mask-up, it's pretty normalish. Social distancing still exists in restaurants/pubs (reduced capacity) so reservations for popular venues are recommended.

      Can I ask where you're travelling from/to?

  11. ADucksBehind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone sitting on Ben White for now?

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Great fixtures from gw4->

      Would have benched him this week anyway + don't care about minor price changes.

      1. ADucksBehind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thinking the same and the international break should give him a chance to recover from covid

    2. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, easy enough to have him sat on the bench for now.

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Clear hold. The plan was to rotate with Ayling. Tsmi was a gifthorse that allowed that rotation to navigate wk1&2.
      You might lose 0.1m but you probably want to save that free transfer as it will allow you to save 0.3m on a bandwagon player you can get early rather than 2 weeks late.

      1. MESSINHO
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ditto.

    4. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on what else you need to do.... I want to have 2FTs next week.... Having said that, I have 2 now and am considering dropping him someone with more clean sheet potential...

  12. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How many players you have for tonight's game? I am sitting on 4. ( Cresswell, Benrahma, Barnes, Vardy). So, need everyone to score goals except Antonio, too much to ask for?

    1. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hoping for a green arrow regardless tonight with Barnes & Antonio, goal fest please

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Knowing my luck, Barnes won't start

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes and Benrahma, fixture has a lot of goals in it over the last few years so should be good

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

      just Antonio, with Schmeichel and Coufal on the bench

    4. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve got 4 too. But in a bit of a pickle
      Schmeichel, barnes, benrahma and Antonio. So..

      West ham pen, but Antonio loses his pen taker status, Bowen shoots and schmeichel saves but benrahma scores the follow up.
      Antonio assists 3 for benrahma, barnes scores 3 goals. All 4 of them tie on 3 bonus.

      Not too much to ask for..

  13. FPL_trail_runner
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    This team maybe a viable WC for week 3 (depending if you correctly play the price rises game) and i believe is very decent longterm option

    Meslier
    TAA James Duffy (Livramento Amartey)
    Bruno Son Sarr Raph (Biss)
    DCL Antonio Vardy

    Money to go Vardy to Lukaku week 4, and Son would become Salah week 5 with an Antonio downgrade when West ham fixtures turn.

    Anyone tempted?

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Price rises game? That hasn't been a thing for years.

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

        Dont follow you. Tsimikas will get you 0.1mil this week. Lukaku will probably also get you 0.1mil this week

        Sarr could drop also. So 0.3mil is very decent

    2. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Is James nailed at Chelsea back? He only played 23 min in the 1st game

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        similar to Chilwell - expect him to play 75% of the time.

        1. Original Sin
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I was thinking of Christensen as he is 0.5 cheaper.

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

        A gamble but as nailed as a chelsea wingback can be
        can also play in back 3 or cb

  14. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How does this seem aa a strategy...

    2 Free Transfers pre-GW3:
    Jota > Dele, Mbeumo > Benrahma

    Gives me:
    Bachmann
    Amartey, TAA, Shaw
    Salah, Greenwood (VC), Dele, Benrahma
    Vardy (C), DCL, Ings

    (Foster, Dallas, Livra, White)
    1.4m ITB

    Then GW4 (depending on Vardy's form) Vardy > Lukaku, or wildcard and bring Lukaku in another way.

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not sold on Dele. I am thinking of bringing in Jota and you are selling him. Any reason ?

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Difficult fixture against Chelsea and then likelihood is I'll WC in GW4 so if I really want him I can bring him back in. I could also replace with Doucouré, Pogba or Soucek. Anyone around the same price. But with Pogba I would have spent the cash needed for a straight-swap with Vardy if I wanted to do that.

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Alli/ Moura/ Bergwijn?

      Alli out of those 3

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Alli is one to watch depending on Kane’s return and how that effects him.

      minefield. moura in particular is a player i like, he will score a hatrick and then you bring him in and he does nothing. could be a good shout this week as you need to pre-empt their scores rather than react to them.

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    2FTs and a bit stumped. Could just move Tsimikas/White on?

    Sanchez
    TAA. Shaw. Ayling
    Salah(C). Bruno. Raph. Barnes
    Ings. Antonio. Wilson
    (Foster, Tsimikas, White, Gilmour)

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tsimi to Livramento (after Tsimi's price rise)

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      White > Dier

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting! Thanks

      2. Old and Slow
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Considering this one... Though debating among the spurs different 4.5s...

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wait on the tsim second price rise then sell and bank the profit.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. Who for?

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I got in Duffy.

  17. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Good people any ideas here? That defence is getting more and more problematic and will see Madders today but already lost 0.1 on him and he has Nor next...also Ars are awful but have solid fixtures in next few gw so maybe keep White for rotation.

    Maybe something like Targett+Tsimi to Ayling+Livramento?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Targett Tsimi White
    Salah Bruno Mahrez Maddison Bisso
    Ings Antonio Scarlett

    2FT, 0ITB

    Too late to bring in Greenwood?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t think so

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. On form and may extend the run but 1 bad gw and he is replaced with Sancho, Cavani, Martial or Rashford when back.

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

      Still 36 gws to go so no.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. Already game week 3 so not enough time for him to get you the points you need.

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No, he's on form. Ole sticks with what he knows, even if cavani starts Greenwood will stay in the team

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Greenwood might continue on right side? It may dent his threat as we have already perhaps seen?

      • Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Greenwood didn't look that threatening and even though he outscored Pogba, Pog looked better imho. (Unlucky Paul owner who thinks Greenwood owners got more jam).

    6. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lloris has 2x 3 bonus, wtf?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it's insane.

        The top 3 scorers in the game right now are Fernandes, Alonso and... Lloris?!

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He has at least made 10 saves in the two games.

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          1-0 wins when DFs aren't particularly creative.

        2. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          2 opponents at opposite ends of the spectrum, same result...!

    7. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez (Steele)
      TAA Shaw Livormento (White Tsmikas)
      Salah Bruno Mahrez Benrahma (Brownhill)
      Ings Antonio Toney

      With my two FT thinking Salah and Mahrez to Son (C) and Greenwood if the former is passed fit.

      Will allow me to do Ings to Lukaku GW 4 with 0.4 spare

      Means Tsimikas and White both remain in team, would like a Spurs defender but probably not for a -4.

      Thoughts?

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Long term I'll take Salah over Lukaku!

        I dont think he is worth the pricetag

      2. luk46
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I would just transfer out Tsimikas or White and save 2nd one

    8. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      What can I do with this lot? Got 1FT and nothing in the bank, main concern to be fair is Tsimikas, I'm set on playing my wildcard soon, potentially after this GW? Any suggestions really welcome.

      Sanchez
      Trent - Tsim - Shaw
      Salah - Bruno - Grealish - Raphina - Barnes
      Antonio - Ings

      Bench: Steele - Ayling - Amartey - Obafemi

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        your team is fine, just deal with the weak links - Tsim/Amartey. Ings can go next week to free up funds for an upgrade.

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Amartey should be safe with Vesty injured

      2. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Play Ayling, roll FT

        1. Kodap
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Who would you play Ayling over?

          1. Henryyy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Tsimi

    9. Lieutenant H
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I got 2 FT with no big plan this GW. What will be best thing to do this week in the market.

      Pickford
      TAA---Ayling---Shaw
      Benrahma--Bruno--Salah--Barnes
      Antonio---Ings---Wilson

      Begovic-Tsimi-Bissouma-White

      1. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Any cash left for Ings ----> DCL?

        1. Original Sin
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          If not then, White ----> Duffy/ Livramento. But nothing urgent

        2. George Agdgdgwngo
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Like the DCL punt

    10. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone playing Livramento GW3?

      1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, currently ahead of Duffy and Amartey based on clean sheet odds

      2. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Considering him v Ayling

      3. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'm either gonna play him or do Tsimi to Regi

        Decisions decisions

        some are

      5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Don't want to need to as I have Wilson (and tempted to captain him too) but will have to if Son is out

    11. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Start one:

      A) Ayling
      B) Livramento

      1. MESSINHO
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A

      2. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ayling for me

    12. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      gundogan to

      a) benrahma (have antonio)
      b) raphinha
      c) sarr
      d) alli/moura/berg
      e) traore

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A

    13. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Your pick out of these Gundo replacements?

      A) Alli
      B) Pogba
      C) Ferran

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A

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

        None of them tbh, stick with it

    14. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just watched some footage of John Charles, what an incredible player and I reckon he could be plucked out of his time and dropped in to the Premier League today … would put Kane and Lukaku to shame in FPL terms no doubt 🙂

      Any other payers from the past that you look at and think yip, he could cut it today (Pele no doubt)

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'd love to see Tony Currie and George Best.

        Throw original Ronaldo R9 in the mix as well.

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

        Ian rush!

    15. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Had to do Targett -> Reguilón last night.

      Gtg for next week? If Amartey looks set to start against Norwich he will play instead of Toney/Sarr
      1 FT 0 ITB

      Sanchez
      TAA - Shaw - Reguilón
      Salah - Bruno - Barnes - Sarr
      Ings - Antonio - Toney

      (Raya, Amartey, Tsimikas, ESR)

    16. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking of rolling the FT here, sound good?

      Sanchez
      TAA Shaw Coufal
      Salah Bruno Greenwood Raphinna
      Antonio Toney Ings
      Steele Ayling Amartey Brownhill

      Would like to do:
      Amartey > Livramento
      Brownhill > Gilmour/Bissouma
      But they seem wasteful.

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yep!
        And if Amartey looks set to start due to Vestergaard injury I would probably play him ahead of Toney, but that is your call 😉

    17. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      With Greenwood's price going up, I'm priced out of my best way to get Lukaku. What do you think of these backup moves?

      Ings, Jota & Shaw to

      A. Lukaku, Gray(or Mbuemo), 4.5m def possibly Coady

      B. Lukaku, Gross(or other 6m apart from Benny) & Livramento

      Ideally I don't want to lose Jota as he is in form but not bothered about losing Shaw
