Scoutcast #384 – Is it time to move for Lukaku in FPL?

Andy and Seb tackle the key challenges facing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Gameweek 3.

The pair are without regular co-host Joe this week but all the usual favourite segments remain in tact, including the Gameweek review, team plans, fixture analysis, transfer market trends and differentials.

Seb also takes his regular look at the biggest underachievers and overperformers according to the statistics. 

How “essential” Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) is comes up for debate, as does the question about whether non-owners can continue to ignore Said Benrahma (£6.2m).

What to do with the likes of Riyad Mahrez (£9.0m) is also pondered.

The Scoutcast’s management of a veteran Fantasy manager’s side, who has had to dip out of this campaign for mental health reasons, continues. With a top 100 finish last season, the pressure is truly on to maintain his strong record.

    Is it me or is Grealish representing fantastic value at 8m?

    Feels like he is pretty nailed

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

      Still not convinced personally on his goal involvements. Still got the feeling he will assist the assister

    2. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably more nailed than others but doubt he'll play every game. Still a watch and wait for me

      I only got Ferran Torres from City as he is cheapest offensive player so even when benched it doesn't hurt me as much. Also, hope that until they buy CF young Spaniards will be deployed to lead front line.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It hurts you when he comes on as sub and gives you one point when your sub returns. That's a realistic scenario.

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          You didn't see my bench 🙂
          Get what you're saying but considering he started last two and was unlucky to have goal disallowed against Norwich I'm willing to risk bit further.

    4. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years

      Great team to watch but can’t see any compelling FPL options for city

    5. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agree

    6. The Knights Template

      The ball just hits him and goes in the net.

    Bottomed

    How long do you reckon it will take for Tsikmas to drop after getting dropped for robbo next week? Will want to transfer him out for the value but not really the transfer I want to be making on an international break…

    1. Snooze ya lose

      This week

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

        Not a chance this week. Possibly during the IB but with many higher priority moves such as people getting rid of Ings etc and most people only having 1 FT I think there's a chance he survives the IB too.

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

      Not before the gw 3 deadline but propably before gw4

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

      Hopefully not before Williams or Omobamidele drop to 3.9m - currently -82% and -92%

  3. el polako
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Any updates on Son's injury ?
    Don't really follow Twitter and can't see anything in mainstream media.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It was nothing mate, it was before the last game and he played and has been in training

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ok ta, so it will be between him and Vardy for captaincy then.

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

          Definitely Son over Vardy

        2. CHIBBY1990
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Bare in mind after Norwich's last result Rodgers might feel he has a chance to rest Vardy and start Iheanacho or the new boy. Good luck!

      White

    2. Andy_Social

      I’ll be getting coady pretty soon as 1st playing sub

    5. Guba
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go with Coady too from next week.

    6. Luben Dias
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Coady rotates beautifully for GW4 and 5 with Ayling

  6. anish10
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best defender for 5.5?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw

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

      Still think it's Shaw.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw.

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      James

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

        He's 5.6

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rudiger.

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

      I'd look at Semedo from next week he's been getting forward a lot too but otherwise probably still Shaw for now.

    7. Luben Dias
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw until the fixtures swing

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

    First choice that has foxed me so far. Play:

    A) Ayling (bur)
    B Livramento (new)

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

      A

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A

    Ronaldo to City?? Thoughts? as a youngster playing at united and how much he loved United I would be rather disappointed if he decided to join them.

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

      Better forget about any romantic notions about modern day top level club football. There are no more Le Tissiers.

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This is very true man

    2. el polako

      "Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
      What's love but a second-hand emotion?"

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

      As a Utd fan it hurts. City not willing to pay any fee though as per reports hope it stays like this.

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I understand the attitude from some fans loyalty etc. But thinking logically what percentage of city and united fans picked the teams because they are/were winning. Most City and Utd fans are not from the area, country or in a lot of cases continent. So unless the fans whinging are local it is the height of hypocrisy IMO.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        If you class local as Manchester, then that's a load of rubbish.

        I'll just quickly drop an education bomb. Most Indians who live in the UK came over during our parent's generation due to Apartheid in Kenya/Uganda/Tanzania - that's where the majority of Indians who lived outside of India lived till then. This was during the late 1960s / early 1970s.

        These people obviously emerged themselves into English culture, i.e. football and started supporting the winning team. I.e. Liverpool. Few support Man United or others.

        Wind forward 20/30 years later, my generation is born (1990s) in London yet born into a family of Man United. In the same way as religion, you don't have a choice, it is what it is.

        So the whole if you're not local, your not a fan stuff is a load of crap to me.

        1. Sad Ken
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Why didn't your parents support the local team? Plus, you don't have to follow them, if you're born in London, support a London team. You can't be a glory supporter and then moan when someone highlights the fact.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            We are exceptions to the rule my parents and I follow Gaelic Football and hurling - amateur sports. In both sports you follow your local county Myself - Dublin and my parents Galway. I also support my !local GAA club as well. My main point is in soccer, to talk of loyalty where people mostly pick global brands that are doing well in soccer is laughable. As those global brands/clubs would not be so successful if there was loyalty. Yet the global fans expect global players to be 'loyal' in an industry that is geared towards making money makes no sense. It is hypocrisy on a grand scale.

        2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I got to be honest this is one of the most funny responses I have read in a while! Truth bombs? You are completely missing my point and letting your emotion get in the way of logic. My point is some fans are very quick to scream loyalty! But the reality is many chose their team they supported not out of community loyalty. Merely because of branding or because the team was doing well when they were about 10. It makes me laugh that such 'fans' expect loyalty from players when they themselves did not pick a club because of loyalty it was the furthest thing from their minds at the time!

      2. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hasn't that always been the case?

        As a kid (late 60s) everyone at my school supported Chelsea or Leeds but we had no idea of geography. I supported Leeds even though Chelsea stadium was less than 10 miles away

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          True but what I saying is fans going on about 'loyalty' is a bit silly. Strip it all back and soccer is an industry and fans are consumers. The fans some how buy into a myth that a big global brand of a football club is 'family' and means loyalty. But most fans have chosen the club they are not born into the community/family.

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Hopefully he doesn't get murdered by some crazy person who loves United too much

  9. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    The way the article above reads a top 100 finish can damage mental health? Glad I have a more carefree attitude and do not take it too seriously!. Plus I am bang average at the game zero expectations which helps I assume?

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

    Mahrez and ESR > Raph and Benhrama to leave 1.7M in bank with 2FT?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Looks solid to me.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh, nice one

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

      You can't make 2 transfers and be left with two transfers

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ha ha, I wondered about that. It's just bad syntax - he means he has 2FT now.

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Did you really need this explaining to you?

    3. Guba
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good.

  11. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Got 2FT, £1.5 ITB

    Meslier, Foster
    TAA, Tsimikas, White, Digne, Dier
    Salah, Sarr, Bruno, Raphina, Gilmour
    Antonio, Bamford, Toney

    Would prefer to roll 2 FT over to IB, so if only using one transfer should I keep Sarr and transfer out Tsimikas or do Sarr to Benrahma?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hmm, Sarr has some good fixtures incoming. I'm not sure on what transfers you're considering after the IB, but maybe get Benrahma in for Sarr for his games against CPL and SOU, then switch back to Sarr for NOR, NEW, LEE down the line?

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

      I'd get Benrahma and roll the other FT

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers guys p.

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

    *repost*
    Do we think Robbo will start against Chelsea? Deciding if time to move TSI on?

    And I've been seeing on here that Livra might not play? why is that?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Livramento will start , why wouldn't he?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        For sure

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo & Liv should play

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

      I'm not convinced Robbo will definitely start. Klopp has history with easing players back from injury and with Tsmikas playing more than adequately, he could easily start him again and reintroduce Robbo after say 60mins if everything is going well..

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

      If you think you've got no other pressing transfers you can move TSI on if he doesn't lose his place v Chelsea he'll almost certainly lose it the game after. For that price though he can easily sit on your bench though while you deal with higher priorities.

    5. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Imo both Tsi and Livra will play

    6. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo will be back, most important clash in prem so far for LFC!!
      I am hoping Liva plays, but he is on my bench.
      Tsimikas is great, and we may see more of him this year, but not in front of Robertson Carlos!!!

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

        Maybe James and Lukaku will prefer playing against a rusty Robbo instead of a match fit Tsimi

    7. CHIBBY1990
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to tell realy. My guess is that Robertson will play as it's a 'big' game. Maybe move Tsimikas next week and let it ride?

  13. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Barnes my biggest question mark, think I'll hold on to him now and roll the FT unless we get some indication he'll be benched before deadline. All GTG otherwise?

    1 FT 0.1 ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Ayling
    Bruno Salah Barnes Raph
    Wilson Ings Antonio (C)

    Steele - Livramento Gilmour White*

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes has the fixture to turn it around this weekend. GTG.

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

        Did he even start?

      2. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yup, just the threat of a formation switch making me a little anxious. Would be grim if he got a 1 point cameo when everyone else has Ben/Greenwood in that mid slot.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very good.
      I sacked off Shaw for James but now thinking about bringing him back in alongside James. He would replace Ayling.
      Id be dropping Greenwood to fund.
      As regards your team structure, Think its James or Shaw for you.

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

        Wouldn't do this until it looks likely Greenwood will be dropped. Greenwood has scored 2 in 2. I think he starts upfront next game. Martial was awful and Cavani isn't fit yet.

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i cant afford the both of them and unless something significant changes Shaw doesn't look great
        Wish i had Greenwood, i can see him scoring every week for a while and unfortunately my main rival has him

      4.5 defenders are not there to be played every week. Just play the fixtures.

        I disagree. Both Leeds and Wolves have good fix for some time, so back to the question, A or B?

          Play the fixtures.

    HI Guys. Any 1 interested in taking the last place in our community tournament team? We have 75million left for the player so can only consider people priced at this or under. We are a goup of 14 nice guys even if i do say so myself. Must be willing to join our whatsapp group to discuss team tactics, etc. Email. joelnewman1@hotmail.com if interested. Cheers,Tets.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I signed up for the tournament today, but not sure if I'm on the list yet, I will be worth 70m

  19. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would anyone be selling Tsimi if his price was still 4.1?

    I had Ferguson for the first half of last season, no prospect of playing, but the chances of needing my 3rd sub and having one that would get more that 1 or 2 points in pretty remote anyway.

    Just don't get the rush to use a transfer on Tsimi - I don't think I will bother until there are some 3.9m defenders or when I WC

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not but there's sense is chucking him for a playing defender, especially if people have starters liable to rotation, like James or Cancelo.

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

      If he was 4.1 probably not but at 4.2 you can bank the extra 0.1m which can be handy. If you have nothing else that needs changing then I think Tsimi to Livramento makes sense.

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

      If you have cover on your bench, he could be useful at Christmas and maybe the odd other time.

    4. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If you bought at 4m, it's about knowing you can get the .1m before everyone sells and that's lost.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'm happy to lose it. I might want 2FT to get rid of Ings and Buendia. I'm not going to take a hit because I saved 0.1 on someone at the end of my bench.

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No because I have Ayling as cover and I suspect most people have. It's not worth wasting a transfer on him if you could problems elsewhere.

    6. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would have sold and kept the 0.1 if I didn't need to tinker my first 11. It's on my agenda but not the most important thing right now. To your question, if he was at 4.1 I wouldn't have sold as I don't think 3 Liverpool players is imperative right now.

      I'm probably going to eye Robertson up in 5 or 6 gameweeks so will look to make the switch then.

    7. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks all - I take hits every week but still see no reason to sell Tsimi, especially without seeing Robbo back and playing regularly. Even then, I expect we will see Robbo rested at points during the season, and I can't see myself needing that 3rd Liverpool slot for a while

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

      No need to transfer him if you have higher priorities elsewhere. If he's anyone's only bench option they've got much bigger issues.

    9. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tsimikas was a guaranteed start, so had him in original team. I had to replace this week, as he is not 100% nailed.
      If you are using as a backup, great, if you need a nailed on, then transfer him out

  20. Eightball
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    My team is:

    Sánchez
    TAA Ayling Shaw
    Raphina Salah Bruno Mbeumo Mahrez
    Antonio Ings

    Foster Livramento Tsimikas Scarlett

    A) Was contemplating the idea of Mahrez + Ings to Lukaku and a 6m mid (Sarr or Traore) for a -4. If I had the extra 0.2m to get to Benrahma I think I would be more likely to do it. Thoughts?

    B) Roll the extra transfer

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Roll

    2. Luben Dias
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B, do it next week

  21. circusmonkey

    If Lingard goes to West Ham, whose place does he take?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Benrahma

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        B.s

        1. chocolove
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          They did share game time since january tho.
          Lingard was the main cause that benrahma has many sub appearance last year.

          Benrahma since lingard coming.
          Start 7
          Sub off 7

          Sub on 10

          Dont just say B.S. Please spill some fact/stat.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            I know these stats, stupendous obviously has him

            1. chocolove
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Yes, so bias from him.

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Exactly

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

        Benrahma played on the LW against Leicester though and he's been playing really well. More likely he takes Fornals place now.

      3. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Bench until Benny dries up

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Fornals or the odd time benrahma

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

      Benrahma if any, Fornals wont be dropped.

  22. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Just deliberating whether Shaw could match Greenwood point wise.
    Downgrade Greenwood to a 5.5m and use 1m to upgrade Ayling > Shaw and play 4-3-3, 3-4-3.
    then use the other 1m to upgrade eslewhere.

    Shaw is probably more nailed than Greenwood .

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      In the long term, yeh. However, in my case, I'm not sure I'm keeping Shaw or any United player past GW7.

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

        GW15 triple up tho

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'd prefer to take my chances with Greenwood for gw3&4 - after that I can't see MUN getting many clean sheets until gw14/15

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Both would need to be ditched fixtures wise soon anyway. I plan WC gw ditch Shaw they play west ham. Keep Greenwood until gw 7 when I get Mount.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh Greenwood > Mount was pencilled in for me in 7.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        WC gw5

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

      Don't think he'll match Greenwood, he's already miles off. Personally I think myself and many others will be jumping off Shaw come gw7 for a Chelsea defender. I wouldn't be getting Shaw now if I didn't have him already.

  23. Dexters Laboratory
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Have 2ft so need to do 1
    A) Tsmik to Liv
    B) Barnes to Benrahma
    Thanks!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      b) - I'd prefer the extra points to the stronger bench

  24. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Bruno, Antonio or Benrahma?

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

      Antonio

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      King Bruno.

    3. Guba
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Antonio for me.

  25. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Has Traore been really bad at finishing? - Schmeichel had 3 saves and 2 BAPS, Lloris had 6 saves and 3 BAPS .... He'll be up against weaker GKs for Wolves nice fixtures (unless he's playing for Spurs)

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He was AWFUL. The oppo doesn't need a keeper when he wellies it into the stands.

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

        That bad 🙂

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

      Yes. He creates loads of chances and gets in really dangerous areas. His attacking stats look really good but he doesn't seem to be able to convert! if that changes he will be a great option at 6m.

    3. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mate, if he's not banging in goals or assists - he's just not worth it.

      He's Werner on a bad day.

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I concur with what other posters have said I saw the first wolves game live. Tarore is a headless chicken. An extremely strong Chicken but can't find a barn door. Never mind the underlying stats the fella is the anti-Vardy.

  26. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    KDB injured - does this make Mahrez more or less likely to start?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It would be the same situation as last GW.

      1. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Absolutely

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

      Probably not less likely.

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

      Doesn’t matter, it’s between Mahrez and Jesus on that position.

    4. And nothing else Mata'…
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      as I have failed to ship out Mahrez for Son before the price rises I'm interested in this topic also.
      Last GW Mahrez did not start with KDB in the team. But I don't think that there is a connection.
      So the answer is: who knows. I would guess that Grealish is more nailed than Mahrez.

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

      Grealish Sterling Jesus. Front 3 to feast on Arsenal

      1. Oooo Matron
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hoping Mahrez can feed on the leftovers with 30 mins to go!

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

          Surely. There will be leftovers for Mahrez

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

      Sterling Ferran Jesus front 3 with Grealish and Gundogan in midfield in my opinion. Jesus played so well at right wing can’t see him being moved

    7. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Meh!
      Arise Sir Gundo!
      He's been forgotten about by so many, think I will captain him this week!

  27. Eightball
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez can only play the Right sided attacking position so it doesn't really matter if KDB plays or not.

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

      reply fail 🙁

  28. Letsgo!

    Isit a waste to do townsend to gray?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Consider Doucoure as well.
      Gray will probably at times rotate with Townsend.

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

      It's a waste. Decoure will not keep up this level of scoring look elsewhere.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years

        So shld i start townsend?

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

          I would get someone else, ideally an upgrade to a higher price point. If it has to be 5.5 consider Mbuemo in my opinion.

  29. Oooo Matron

    Exact Money for Ings & Mahrez to Lukaku & Raphina - worth a - 4?

    Current team:
    Bachmann
    TAA Shaw Livramento
    Salah Son Greenwood Mahrez Benrahma
    Ings Antonio

    Subs: Foster, Tsimikas, Veltman, Obafemi

  30. ace3.1415

    Play Ayling or dier?

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

      Dier

    2. Luben Dias
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dier has higher CS odds but Ayling has better offensive threat
