Benrahma, Barnes, Pogba: Who are the best mid-price midfielders for GW3?

With Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers desperately trying to squeeze in as many premium assets into their teams as possible, like Mohamed Salah (£12.6m), Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m), Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) and Son Heung-min (£10.0m), finding the right mid-price options will be key.

So, we asked the Scout Network for their view on the best mid-price midfielders to own.

Vestergaard injury latest as Antonio and Benrahma haul again 2

In the opening two Gameweeks Said Benrahma (£6.2m) had five goal attempts and three shots in the box, which produced two goals and two assists. As a result, he has the attention of many FPL managers, and has already risen in price twice since the season started. Although there is a lot of talk about international duty right now, and Benrahma could be affected by this, he plays Crystal Palace and Southampton in the next two Gameweeks which strengthens his appeal.

Diego Jota (£7.6m) also continues to get my attention. With four shots in the box resulting in two goals in the last two Gameweeks he has started the season well. If he continues to get game time, I think he’ll be a top scorer this season.

Mason Greenwood (£7.6m) would be my first choice at this price point. The fact he can be utilised on the right or through the centre makes him a lot less rotation prone compared to the likes of Jota for the same price. With Marcus Rashford‘s (£9.4m) extensive layoff and Anthony Martial‘s (£7.9m) underwhelming performances, I don’t see the United starlet leaving my team anytime soon.

Raphinha (£6.5m) looks set to build on his debut season following his weekend strike at Elland Road. A proven asset in the league and one of the talismans of an exciting Leeds United team, who feels like an absolute bargain. However, I would keep an eye on the potential quarantine situation ahead of Gameweek 4 when he returns from international duty with Brazil.

FPL Gameweek 1: Pogba's assists, van Dijk's return and a start for £4.0m Tsimikas

Paul Pogba (£7.7m) has really impressed over his first two games for Manchester United and can be backed as a season keeper. Under Ole, he is nailed on to start and hardly miss any games when fit. Statistically, he ranks top of all midfielders in this price bracket in assists (five) and attempted assists (six). He also ranks highly in terms of shots taken and expected assists (xA). With favourable home games against Newcastle and Aston Villa coming up after the break, he is our number one pick.

Raphinha opened his account in Gameweek 2 and played a prominent role in Leeds’ draw against Everton. He also took the most shots among all the midfielders in this price range and plays in a very attacking role for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. He also takes corners and freekicks. At his current price range, he remains a good enabler, freeing up cash for very expensive (and ‘must have’) assets like Lukaku in weeks to come.

Seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar reviews the key statistics from Gameweek 1 1

One of the key aspects of this game is exploiting the fixtures. And again, we’re focusing on the opposition and this time targeting a leaky Norwich defence. Leicester have so far played a defensive Wolves side and struggled with only 10-men against a strong West Ham team. We’re expecting them to return to their expansive best against the Canaries and we’re bullish on Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) for this one. He was in great form in pre-season, he’s had a couple of games to pick up his match sharpness after his injury and this feels like a fixture where he can explode!

Greyhead

Mason Mount (£7.5m), yes it’s dull but there is nothing more reliable than Mount’s steady flow of points in a Chelsea side looking like one of the strong contenders to win the title. He plugged away with an assist and clean sheet in the first two games and is a relative certainty in the starting line up. He has a healthy shot count with six so far and he may be one to add to your team and set and forget for the season. Be dull and save yourself the headache.

Paul Pogba, La Pioche, has had storming start to the season and is my pick with five assists already to his name, a favourable run of matches and a swagger that suggests he is in the mood to continue that form. The stats also support the eye test with six chances created, six shots with five of those crucially in the box. Even though he has gone up in price to £7.7 million he still looks a bargain so invest before the Pog-Boom!

FPL Gents (Oscar)

Son injury update as Greenwood scores again and £4.0m defender Livramento impresses 4

My number one pick is Wolves’ Adama Traoré (£6.0m). He is extremely under the radar in just 1.2% of teams and seems to have generated very little buzz, despite the fact that he has had 10 shots in the first two games, generating a non-penalty xG of 1.1 which has only been bettered by Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.1m), Lukaku and Sadio Mané (£11.9m). This is despite facing two decent sides in Leicester and Spurs. Although United at home in Gameweek 3 is another tough test, Wolves’ fixtures turn for the better afterwards, not facing a side from last season’s top five until Gameweek 15.

FPL Froggies

All eyes are currently on Benrahma, and there is also the shadow of Jesse Lingard (£7.0m) on the London Stadium, but the eye test tells us that Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m) is also in great shape and that returns could be around the corner. He’s explosive, aggressive and can be selfish when needed, so we feel it will come soon.

We also like Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m). He has skills, experience, plays out-of-position, may be on penalties and is without a doubt the best player at Crystal Palace. At 7.0m, it might not be a bad idea to bet on Zaha, even if we are still unsure about Patrick Vieira’s style of play. It’s a high risk, high reward bet, but if you play FPL with an aggressive style, it’s the type of decision that could make a difference.”

    No idea if this has been discussed, but a few above are suggesting Salah et al will have to isolate after the international break. News seems to be suggesting the contrary: Clubs are unanimously, but reluctantly, refusing to release players to play in red list countries.

      😆 Literally just posted after I read those exact comments ahaha

      1. Tinfoil_underwear

        Great minds, or perhaps equally slow to the news….

        1. Bushwhacker

          I just time travelled. Wicked.

    I'm sure this has been posted already but

    https://www.premierleague.com/news/2231483

    So looks like everyone is good for GW4 then?

      Don't think that will be the end of it though. Seems a bit sketchy how the Premier League can do this.

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

        Players are contracted to clubs not countries. It's the clubs' decision, PL are just in support.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Some players live and breath to play for their national team. I wonder if any of them will kick up a fuss. These are World Cup qualifiers as well, not just friendlies most importantly.

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

      FIFA has told the Confederation of Football for South America that Premier League clubs must make their players available or there will be consequences. There is a letter to that effect. This isn't over by a long way.

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

        Oh yeah, what they going to about it?

      2. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Oh my. Was this recent? Or was this a while back with the removal of the grace period for compulsory availability from last year.

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

    I think Im going to keep Barnes and just do Tsimikas to Livramento.
    How likely Barnes will starts against Norwich? Or would you do Barnes > Raphinha instead Tsimikas > Livramento?
    No other issues and have 2 FT.

    1. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      barnes to raphinha

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

        How likely he is going to miss GW4?

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      barnes will drop, but if you are happy with that, why will he not play v Norwich?

    3. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I already went Barnes > Raphina. I just have zero faith in Barnes after watching the last 2 games and think it's somewhat likely he starts on the bench against Norwich. Raphina was already going to come in soon.

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

        Was planning to get Raphinha soon too, but worried that he will miss gw4-5 and then I dont want him.

        I have a feeling too that Barnes won't start.

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          See the above comments. Pretty sure that is now a non-issue if I understand correctly.

          1. That Was Easy!

            Whoops, just saw the comments from Ruth.

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

              Me too. Doesnt look safe anymore.

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I had a similar conundrum and decided to hang onto Barnes one more week, despite the drop.

      Norwich should be a good fixture, particularly with Leicester keen to bounce back from the West Ham result.

      With Perez banned, I think it makes Barnes more secure to play.

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hey Scots, I replied to your comment earlier, about the no bruno salah team, did you catch it?

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yep. I think we're actually on the same page and just disagreeing on semantics.

          I agree spreading the funds saved on a Salah/Bruno can make for a better team, if you get the picks right.

          I just disagree with the term 'cover'. You can't 'cover' Salah's points with Jota for example.

          1. fantasyfog
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah that's fair, just wanted to pick your brains about how it would look, which players would make the biggest impact without that duo? Obvs lukaku Antonio and DCL for me up top, defence I'm happy with 3 attacking defenders, but which mids would you go for?

            1. Scots Gooner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Think if you're going with those 3 up front, you're already looking at least goal wise, matching the likes of Bruno/Salah.

              So as you say, you probably want the likes of Greenwood and Jota in midfield. Maybe the likes of Benrahma, Raphinha or Sarr maybe would give you value too. They're all reasonably priced, but can have a big score in them.

              If you can fit all them into one team, you might negate some of the risks of going without Salah or Bruno.

  4. TAT
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Really not sure what to do with my two FT’s. Save one and do Barnes to Raphinha?

    Sánchez
    TAA - Shaw - Ayling
    Benrahma - Greenwood - Barnes* - Salah - Fernandes
    Ings - Antonio
    (Foster - Tsimikas - Veltman - Perica)

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

      Have almost same team and dont know what to do.

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

        There are several transfers I'm looking at: Barnes to Raphinha, Tsimikas to Livramento, a -4 in order to get Lukaku somehow, Ings to DCL, etc. I like having two FTs for GW 4 though.

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Have the exact same team bar Perica.

      I am likely going Barnes + Ings > Raphina + DCL. Reluctant to give Ings up, but more concerned about not having DCL.

      Means a thin bench for GW3 that can be addressed in GW4, with Tsimikas out and Veltman returning, that should sure it up

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

        The double transfer of Barnes+Ings does sound tempting, most of all because not owning DCL feels a bit risky. A good fixture for Ings though, but Villa haven't played that well so far.

        Tsimikas out is a potential GW4 transfer for me as well.

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Game against whipping boys seems hard to ignore though

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

        Indeed!

      2. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm harsh, Liverpool and citeh, not many would get anything from that

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

    Do we expect Amartey to play again now Vestergaard is coming back from injury?

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

      I think he gets one more game

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Depends how quick he is brought back in..... but they just got hit for 4, so........

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

        Yeah, they will need to rotate for sure.

  6. Lucky Z

      No. Someone else

    3. Tcheco

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years

      Was the plan all along but the injury scare put me off so went with Benrahma. Would be gutted if he hauls

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal have some nice upcoming fixtures. Feels stupid getting rid of ESR, even if he's dropping in value. Got two freebies and unsure about where to use one this week.

    Any ideas?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Will ESR play alongside Odegaard?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Dunno...

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          just had a look, and it seems they did quite a bit. So probably worth keeping ESR, he's looked like Arsenal's biggest threat so far this season.

  10. sentz05

    Gundogan to Benrhama?

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Go for it

    2. FantasyHero

      Did this exact move

  11. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Can I afford to hold my remaining FT, friends?

    Meslier (4.0)
    TAA / Shaw / Coufal (Livramento, Omobamidele)
    Salah / Bruno / Raphinha / Barnes / Benrahma
    Bamford / Ings (4.5)

    0.5 in the bank

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

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

        Thanks, mate, I appreciate it

  12. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Decent gameweek and up to 360k with around 900k green arrow, with Barnes to Benny move paying off. Best transfer for this lot?

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA - Shaw - Tsimi (Veltman, White)
    Salah - Bruno - Raph - Benrahma - Mahrez
    Antonio - Toney (Scarlett)

    1FT and £1m ITB.

    Bench is a mess and will likely be down to 10 unless Tsimi manages a sub appearance. Thinking best upside move here though is Mahrez to Son and sticking the captaincy on him.

    Could get rid of Tsimi/Veltman to a Livramento/Dier for a -4 but think the hit is highly unlikely to be worth it, and hopefully bench situation will improve after international break.

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

      I’d prioritise the defensive move over Mahrez to Son

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just do One of those defenders to Livramento and call it good? He has Newcastle this weekend

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’d look Greenwood & DCL

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

      Lose mahrez, yes he can haul, but pep roulette is no fun, us your other 4 miss are great, toney the pony out so downgrade mahrez, upgrade toney for me, if you save a .5 or 1 mil to upgrade defence, great

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Plus your other 4 mids*

  13. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio and Benrahma are probably gonna rise again tomorrow night. Wowza!

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      West Ham surprised everyone last year.
      Here they go again!

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I worry about Europe though, no-one has cracked the Thursday Sunday games with a squad as thin as theirs

  14. BarryFabregas
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    2 FT and not sure where to go.

    Sanchez

    TAA Shaw Coufal

    Salah - Bruno - Barnes - Greenwood

    Wilson - Antonio - Toney

    (Foster - Ayling - Gilmour - Livramento)

    Barnes and Toney ideally want to get rid of - Raphina, Benrahma and Sarr on my shortlist (leaning toward Raph but Ben is hard to ignore RN - and could Barnes turn it on against Norwich). Toney needs to go - possibly Adam Armstrong. No money ITB.

    1. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes against Norwich is tempting, although Leicester are no pool or city, but barnes likely to drop, benny likely to go up...

  15. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimikas or Amartay out for Livramento ?

    And is Livramento likely to rise tonight, worth moving now?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say Livramento. If you have 2FTs, could go for it if you like. Vestergaard's scan came back without much fuss.

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

      Tsimikas. Bank the 0.1, also play Amartey against Norwich.

  16. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Quick peak in the member's area and I'm pretty confident in Ings > DCL this week. Anyone else?

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I did Ings -> Lukaku, but then, Im a casual 🙂

        If I had the money....! Have you got Salah /Bruno /TAA?

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

      I'm seriously considering it. Brentford haven't conceded yet, plus ings has maybe been a little lucky?
      Brighton could be tough but think dcl could do well

    How likely Omobamidele starts for Norwich next game? I'll take a 2 pointer (if even possible :D) rather spend a transfer

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not very likely (also an owner)

  18. sentz05

    Is Tskimas going to get benched from now on?

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

      Yes

    2. Captain Hindsight
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably

  19. Captain Hindsight
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I need your help please

    In a drunkin state I activated my wildcard and I had a 180 points so not a bad start!

    My team is now:

    Sanchez
    TAA/James/Shaw
    Salah/Fernandes/Grealish/Benrahma
    Antonio/Ings/Toney

    Steele/Livramento/Tsimikas/Bissouma

    Any obvious people I need to move on?

      Ouch

      1. Captain Hindsight
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It was a good Monday night but i am where I am.

        The team seems ok to me - maybe Timiskas out

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lol. More points than me and the WC hadn't even crossed my mind. Hope you had a good night 🙂

      I wouldn't have Toney or Ings on WC for starters. DCL is a must imo and you could even move early for Lukaku.
      I'd probably ditch Grealish for Raphina to make a bit of cash and downgrade James then replace Tsimi.

      1. Captain Hindsight
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks - it was a great night, wife isn’t too happy with me so time to focus on ffpl and keep my head down

    3. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Great team - James fixtures perhaps a slight concern ?

    4. Sif
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Best thing you could do is probably move on Lukaku early.
      Villa fixtures turn soon and his goals v.lucky

      Get cash out of Grealish, James & might have to do something to Toney also.

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      In a similar position..... There is no right answer, but its a WC so think 4-6 g/w ahead?

      Ings fixtures about to turn, so I just transfered him out..... for.. (guess who)

      Sanchez
      TAA / James / Coufal
      Salah / Son / Raphina / Benrahma / Ali
      Antonio / Lukaku

      4.0 / Ayling / Livramento / Obafemi

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

      James and Toney would worry me, not sure I'd have ings either, would this tempt you

      4.5

      Taa Shaw Laporte/Cresswell 4.0 4.5

      Raph Pogba Son Jota 6mil

      Antonio Lukaku DCL

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

      I might take Reguillon or Coufal instead of Shaw to save some money. James is a good move IMHO despite of the next fixtures.

      I'd rather go 3-5-2 formation, and ditch Grealish, Toney and Ings. Take Antonio and Lukaku up front and take a look which two playing midfielders you have money for. Raphina, Grey, Sarr, Mbeumo etc. are relatively cheap. Although Bissouma might be good enough if you don't have more funds. Tsimikas isn't probably playing anymore so I'd take Duffy instead.

      Good luck with your WC and might there be plenty more drunken stated nights!

    Barnes > Raphina?

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      depends if the 0.1 drop will hurt you

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

      Yes.

  21. Cilly Bonnolly

    Madrid have bid £137m for Mbappe.

    1. Captain Hindsight
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Part of me thinks they done that just to annoy Barcelona who are penniless

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I can't imagine that's anywhere near enough, if true.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They should just wait a year and get him for free (word on the grapevine is that he has his heart set on Madrid anyway)

      1. OneArseneWenger32
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison to PSG though; reduces or enhances DCL's stock?

        1. thegaffer82
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          They'll replace Rich though, so hard to say in the medium term. But short term, it hurts his appeal (if it even happens)

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

      Well he wants to go there as he’s a supporter.

  22. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Make transfers early to avoid price rises or wait it out and not worry about losing value?

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think this gw you should make it early

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

        Yeah same.

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

      There is no right answer to that, just too different ways to play. Depends do you have exact cash etc…

    How long do we think Livramento keep his spot?

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

      all season

      Chelsea youth player of year and they have a buy back on him

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

      As long as he plays that good.

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

      A long time.

  24. ClassiX

    1. Pep Roulette

      Offside

    2. ClassiX

      1-1
      Flagged offside

  25. Digital-Real

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio is a better player than Lukaku. Injuries aside.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Bold statement. I tend to agree to be honest, but they are very different players despite their similarity in size and build.

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

        True, but Antonio really is genuinely large.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Oh please. Get your head out of the FF spectrum. Antonio was like Sid the Sloth in the first half

  26. Louis99
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    2.9ITB and need to get a defender (to have 3 that will play).

    Thinking between Ayling (2.5 left ITB) and Pereira/Shaw (1.5 left ITB) - chosen these as either Leeds or Leicester fixtures work well for a rotation with other defenders, and I'm happy to play Shaw every week.

    The thing is I'm planning Ings > DCL next week, so it's a lot of money to have resting in the bank with no immediate idea of how I'll spend it. So maybe I just go big and get Dias/Robbo?

    Tough one, what do we reckon?

    Thanks - much appreciated!

  27. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Coufal, Ben and Antonio too much?

    1. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nah I have the same - they're all just great value so while fixtures are good there's no problem

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

      Not at all.

    3. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I've got all 3 too.
      While WH are playing like they are, then who is better vfm?

  28. Captain Hindsight
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is James a guaranteed starter now?

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rudiger and Mendy probably the only guaranteed starters once Kounde signs.

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

      Neigh

  29. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Grealish for the next 3?

    Arsenal | Lei | SOT

    All these teams are lacking defensively. Could be a great differential.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not posted good numbers and just scored a somewhat fortuitous goal off his thigh.

      I'll own him at some point I'm sure, but not now for me

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

      Certainly sounds fun but just a tricky price.

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve got him so yes although only if you want to play the roulette 😆

  30. The SK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Those with Tsimikas, White and Veltman, what is your transfer plan?

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

      White out.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If you're asking on here they will tell you to get Benny and Tonio haha
