Learning from ‘The Great and The Good’ FPL managers – Gameweek 3

Fantasy Football Scout community writer Greyhead continues with his series of articles analysing the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfers and strategies of some noted Fantasy managers, from serial top 10k finishers to well-known faces.

The Great and The Good this year are the Scouts Joe LepperNeale RiggGeoff Dance and Tom Freeman, FPL Wire’s Zophar, from the Hall of Fame Fabio BorgesFPLMatthewYavuz Kabuk and Tom Stephenson, Blackbox’s Az and Mark Sutherns, FPL “celebrities” LTFPL AndyMagnus Carlsen and FPL General plus last year’s mini-league winner Les Caldwell.


“Let the wild rumpus start!”

The FPL season has truly begun after two weeks of template inspired good scores, as the wild things of Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m), Harry Kane (£12.3m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) are stirring even the most cautious of manager into action.

With every passing day leading up to Gameweek 3, more big hitters arrived on the scene and like a roomful of kindergarteners on some sugar high, the FPL community charged around trying to find ways to fit them all into their squads.

Mark was the first to go with his well-documented Lukaku move to try and get an edge over the remaining members of The Great and The Good, and had to wait until Saturday evening as part of the Match of the Day challenge to find out his fate. It was ghoulish but great Googlebox viewing.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Tom Stephenson continues to eat up the competition and is still leader of The Great and The Good wild things, despite a red arrow, with a respectable 63 points thanks to a Michail Antonio (£7.9m) armband and the ever-consistent Mason Greenwood (£7.7m), who has now scored three more FPL points than Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) over the season.

Yet, it was the other Tom, Deputy Freeman, who had the monster score this week with his patience in double United defence plus a Son Heung-Min (£10.1m) captaincy taking him to 72 points and a green arrow of over 250,000 places.

He has been less template than most this season, setting up with a 4-4-2 and owning three big hitters since the start with Son in his opening squad. He now has two free transfers and I wonder whether Bruno Fernandes will survive the international break?

Speaking of the Portuguese playmaker, he appears to be the cause of a disagreement between Fabio Borges and Magnus Carlsen. The Grandmaster came out on Twitter to announce the demise of Bruno but Fabio, along with Geoff Dance, went the other way and captained him this weekend.

Unfortunately, for the Hall of Fame number one this means he sits in the unusual position of bottom of this mini-league just below the Blackbox likely lads of Mark and Az.

Joe had his second green arrow in a row and sits comfortably in third place at 142,000. He was another one to captain Son, but has acted decisively to play his Wildcard – I wonder who else will follow his lead?

TRANSFERS

This is a summary of the transfers for this week:

  • Az – Benrahma, Livramento (White, Barnes)
  • LTFPL Andy – Bamford, Bissouma, Raphinha (Perica, Mahrez, Gundogan)
  • Fabio Borges – Benrahma (Jota)
  • Joe Lepper – Son, Benrahma (Salah, Barnes)
  • Geoff Dance – Benrahma, Regulion (White, Barnes)
  • FPL General – Calvert- Lewin, Benrahma (Grealish, Toney)
  • Les Caldwell – Coufal (White)
  • Magnus Carlsen – Son, Benrahma (Fernandes, Mahrez)
  • Mark Sutherns – Mbeumo, Lukaku, Sarr (Torres, Mahrez, Toney)
  • FPL Matthew – Dennis, Benrahma (Toney, Brownhill)
  • Neale Rigg – Duffy (Tsimikas)
  • Tom Freeman – Ayling (Tsimikas)
  • Tom Stephenson – Coufal, Raphinha (Barnes, Veltman)
  • Yavuz Kabuk – Dennis, Benrahma, Livramento (Toney, Brownhill, Veltman)
  • Zophar – Obafemi, Benrahma (Toney, Gilmour)

*transfers out are in brackets

After last week’s lull there was a frenzy of transfers this week.

Mark made the marquee signing of Lukaku for a hit, and as we all know, then had to sit through a Ferran Torres (£7.1m) brace during the watch along.

Another manager to take a hit was Andy. He suffered a similar fate with IIkay Gundogan (£7.3m) finally scoring on his departure from the squad, and it was intriguing to see him double down on Leeds United. Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) paid off this week and with a sea of good fixtures ahead I am sure he and Raphinha (£6.5m) will help him sail up the rankings.

Magnus and Joe took a proactive approach both snapping up Son and placing the captaincy on him, and the relief was palpable when his free-kick beat the flaying arms of Daniel Bachmann (£4.5m).

A move that may go under the radar is the transfer in of Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m), who was brought in by both FPL Matthew and Yavuz, in the latter case for a hit. He has had eight shots, seven in the box, over the opening three games and could be a useful enabler if trying to afford budget-busting signings elsewhere.

TEMPLATE

Salah's role one to monitor in FPL as Alexander-Arnold continues forays infield 2

The template for The Great and The Good is as follows with the number in brackets showing how many teams in which they appear:

Goalkeepers: Sanchez (14), Steele (8)
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold (15), Shaw (13), Tsimikas (12), Ayling (10), Veltman (6)
Midfielders: Salah (14), Fernandes (14), Benrahma (14), Raphinha (9), Greenwood/Gilmour (5)
Forwards: Antonio (15), Ings (11), Toney (9)

The template is shifting slowly with Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) the high-profile departure replaced by Said Benrahma (£6.4m), who is the first bandwagon of the season, gaining nine new owners from The Great and The Good this week.

Antonio and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) are now the only essentials with 100% ownership, as Magnus ditched Bruno and Joe moved out Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), but I suspect he may return in the Scoutcaster’s overhaul.

TEMPLATE BASHING

Salah and blanks again as Brighton defensive assets shine ahead of good run 3

There has been a fair degree of template bashing this year with the FPL community’s popular picks having one of the strongest starts to the season that I can ever remember.

I thought it worth poking The Great and The Good squads to see how template they are by using Live FPL, built by Ragabolly, which along with live rank updates, provides a comparison of your squad against the template. You can read how this is calculated here.

You can see below how the squads compare against the template, bearing in the mind the usual guidance is a 50-70% match to allow for a balance of ownership and differential.

Supporting the claim that this has been the year of the template is that Tom Stephenson, FPL Matthew and Zophar all have ratings in the nineties, classed as “very template”, and make up three of the top five managers so far.

Tom Freeman and Magnus are our resident mavericks classed as “moderately differential” with the lowest rating amongst the group.

I would suspect there will need to be more template busting over the coming weeks if any of them are going to catch Tom Stephenson. Ferran Torres anyone? Maybe, not for you Mark.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Cristiano Ronaldo's FPL price and position revealed
F

We’ve had a week of shocks and surprises, now it’s time to gather our thoughts and learn something from the rumpus.

Maybe it’s ok to embrace your wild thing, act out against the norm or the template and use your own power of imagination.

The number of options available has never been so great, be creative, the template has been sent to bed without any dinner, so let’s make sure we take advantage and bring in a few differentials to help us climb those ranks.

Anyway, that’s all from me for now and remember, don’t have nightmares.

    Like it but 2 Leeds is a risk when they're not firing. Maybe Bamford > Jimenez

      Reply fail to Eightball

    2. HashAttack

      Leeds have scored 4 - Wolves 0 🙂

      1. VAR United
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Fair but the Leeds Burnley game gave me a few doubts.

        Wolves are on the goals imminent table for sure 😉

      2. Eightball
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Jiminez definitely an option but he is coming back from a pretty serious injury. No clue when he will be back to full speed. That's my major concern with him. I could potentially drop Ayling down to Duffy and get DCL (if he is fit)

        Decisions decisions.....

  2. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Probably going to take a -4 this week. But can't figure out which way to go.

    Bruno out for:
    Jota
    Raphinha

    Ings out for:
    A. Ronaldo
    B. Lukaku

    Thinking 1+A and wild card GW7 with Lukaku

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1 A - thinking same but have Tsimikas problem meaning needs -8

      1. Cheeky Onion
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same boat here

      2. Norco
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah -8 seems a bit much, but that's just me.

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

      Jota and Lukaku

  3. VAR United
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Guys surely I've just completed FPL here...

    Raya (Steel)
    TAA, Saiss, Semedo, B.White, (Livramento)
    Salah, Jota, Traore, (Sissoko, Allen)
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio

    Right?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad, would change white for Dier and swap Saiss out so not doubling on wolves, maybe Christiansen

      1. VAR United
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        0.0 itb for Dier.

        Not a fan of Saiss? Looked dangerous the last 2 but yeah am thinking about swapping out one of the Wolves to avoid doubling up.

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota to Raphinha
      Sissoko or Allan to Gray
      Saiss to someone that rotates well with your other defenders

      1. Teddy Brewski
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        And play 343 obviously

      2. VAR United
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If Firmino is out then Jota is gold but if he's back then yeah will downgrade to Leeds or Torres.

        Was toying with Grey but would have to downgrade 2 defenders and then the team starts to look very bleak. If Jota goes then that would be the way.

        1. Teddy Brewski
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          You'd just have to downgrade one defender. Saiss or Semedo. Keep the others the same. Plus you'd be playing one less defender each week then originally planned

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

      Would not have the Brentford gk with those fixtures

      1. VAR United
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would have Sanchez but he's out for GW4.

        Bachmann?

        1. Teddy Brewski
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Just pick Steele as your 4.0 and he can cover that game

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not even close.

  4. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed...1 FT - 0.7 ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA - Shaw - Reguilon
    Salah - Bruno - Barnes - Benrahma
    Antonio - Toney - Ings

    Foster - Veltman - Tsim - Brownhill

    A) Barnes > Sarr/Torres/Grey
    B) Bruno + Ings > Ronny + Torres/Grey/Sarr (-4)
    C) WC
    D) Wait til after intl break for moves

    Thoughts?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably B (go for Torres!)

  5. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    Robbo or Jota on a WC? Have TAA and Reece.

    Robbo to be switched to Chilwell in GW7.
    If Jota then he can be switched to Mount.

    Thinking Chilwell can potentially outscore Mount for more than 1.7m less?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota assuming Firmino out for a while.

    3. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mount is an exceptional player, but with rotation not too sure of his value as fpl asset. There are just too many good option at that position at chelsea. Also jota, greenwood nd benrahma at that price point

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        But you'd want triple Chelsea for that run. Too good to ignore. So double Chelsea defence then?

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

          yeah best bet. I still don't see Chelsea scoring tons of goals in City style, but many CS

        2. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Contemplating similar decision, double chelsea defence or mount. Prob going with former - TAA James Chilwell is about as good as it gets I think.

  6. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Advice appreciated!

    A) Torres, Raphinha, Dier
    B) Benrahma, Raphinha, Shaw
    C) Greenwood, Benrahma, Dier
    D) Torres, Gray, Shaw
    E) Torres, Benrahma, Matip (Greenwood instead of Jota)

    Rest of Team:

    Sanchez
    TAA, Coady, X
    Salah, Jota, X, X
    Ronaldo, Antonio, DCL

    (Foster, Ayling, Livramento, Sissoko)

    Cheers!

  7. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best defender up to 4.6 for a stretch of gameweeks...Ayling?

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

      Probably Marcal (Wolves)

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Even if I already have Semedo?

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

          wouldn't have both - hopefully CS but can't see there being enough attacking returns to go around

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ayling and Marcal/Coady.

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Marcal

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years

        I already have Semedo though?

    4. JUNITED

    new wc team:

    Sanchez Steele

    Shaw TAA Duffy Reguilon Williams

    Ronaldo Antonio Scarlett

    Any improvements or suggestions? sitting on 220 overal

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So you plan on playing Allan every week?

      1. fnewberry
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        no he’s bench

      2. fnewberry
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        duffy in cus of clean sheets and went up in price so bought him before he did

        1. JUNITED
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          People told me Duffy is not nailed anymore, can someone confirm this?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Players returning from injury etc and Duffy is a weak link back there.

    2. VAR United
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't use up your 3rd Spurs slot with Scarlett.

      1. fnewberry
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        i had obafemi and he left so just bought scarlett but true i’ll chnahe it

  9. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Coleman a good pick at 5.0m ?

  10. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Was thinking should i hold off ronaldo first and try ings to jimenez and townsend to gray for two ft?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guess you own Bruno, guess that he needs to score similar.

  11. JUNITED
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which two you will pick from these three:

    Raphinha
    Mount
    Torres

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

      Raph Torres

      1. JUNITED
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Why no love for Mount?

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphinha & Mount

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph and possibly Mount come 7.

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Different priorities... I shuffled my keeper and a defender this week. Will look at the striker situation after GW4. Happy with my trio of Wilson Ings Antonio.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      isn't Wilson injured?

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

        He has two weeks to get well. Newcastle has LEE wat after Utd. I'd like to keep him for those fixtures.

  13. Tomas_brolin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Are we overlooking Christensen? Only 5.0. Is it because he might get rotated with Thiago? He’s started all 3 so far and surely everyone in that back line will get rotated to some extent?

    1. JUNITED
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Given that James is still suspended and they didn’t sign a new CB, fair to say he is still a safe option at the moment.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rotation or an injury should be around the corner.

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Im going with Reece. But come GW7 il be getting another Chelsea defender.
      Christensen's direct competition is Silva. So not really convinced there. Azpi and Rudiger are probably the safest out of the lot.

  14. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC draft.

    Raya
    TAA / Rudiger / Marcal / Regulion
    Salah / Gray / Raphina
    Ronaldo / Antonio / Lukaku

    4.0 / Livra / Gilmour / Sissoko

    I tried to tell myself I didn't need TAA, then I saw his stats so far and immediately changed my mind.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably the best I’ve seen so far fair

      1. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This isn't my first rodeo. Ha

        Thank you

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      that defence could either be genius or regrettable - not so easy to move to the better ones either, but not bad considering you have 3 v expensive players

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think this is a fantastic Draft. Have gone with a similar 433 structure myself. Although I am WCing in GW5.

      1. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't be able to afford this in GW5

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Mine is this.

          Meslier
          TAA Robbo Reece Semedo. / Livra
          Salah Raphinha Sarr. /Allan Gilmour
          Ronaldo Bamford Jimenez

          Robbo(CRY bre) > Chilwell (GW7)
          That gives funds to upgrade Sarr in 3 weeks.

    4. Squib
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Convincing myself of this more and more. Potentially a Rudiger to Christensen and Reguilon to Dier/Sanchez then 1 mil or more to upgrade one of the mids

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That midfield is so weak.

      Lukaku, Gray, Reguilon

      vs

      DCL, Jota, Torres

      Makes B much more appealing imo (assuming you replace Reguilon with a 4.5m playing defender sub and switch to 3-4-3)

  15. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Worth wildcarding this?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Ayling Tsimikas Livramento
    Salah Bruno Benrahma Barnes Brownhill
    DCL Antonio Ings

    To this?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Reguilon Marcal Livramento Williams
    Salah Traore Benrahma Gray Brownhill
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      lots of people doing this, think you could be making life harder for yourself by actually creating the WC team to compare it to - how many of your original players are bad picks? you have Salah to captain, Barnes probably needs to go but the rest is fine - even a Bruno/Ings switch is simple enough to do - hard no for me

      1. YoungPretender

        You’re probably right. Just feel if Ronaldo and Lukaku really hit the ground running then I could lose a lot of ground on those that get them straight in!

          I've just got Lukaku in to captain - I'm willing to WC next week if Ronaldo looks amazing, then I'll also get to see if it's any clearer which Wolves/Watford/Leeds player/s to get first - Ronaldo would have to haul and DCL blank for you to lose loads of ground even in the worst case scenario; maybe that's likely but I'm not so sure

    Thoughts ?

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Reece James, and bench for Liv for a week while serving suspension

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ruds or James

      1. Tosa86
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        for me ruds is more solid

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah want James in that slot eventually, not sure if the risk of worth to go for three premiums but some good budget options around

    3. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Personally, I'd prefer either one of the 2 big ones up front and then redistribute the funds over midfield.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’ll probably end up doing that, as it’s a lot more flexible. Need to see other thoughts on this draft :£

    rudiger+virgil+jota/greenwood

    christensen is solid or not?

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years

      He does look like he works out a fair bit

      1. Tosa86
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        at the moment i have 2 top salah and ronaldo...but not the third.

        active WC, first draft:

        Lloris 4.0
        Jansson rudiger Williams shaw Virgil
        torres allan salah benrhama Gray
        Antonio Ronaldo DCL

        with 0.6

    1. Bobby Digital

      you have butchered your team to get a 3rd premium in.

      points divided by million spent is the aim of the game. captains count double but you can only do 1 per week.

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I understand, but how is thta butchered team?

      i like it.

      just a question, why you prefer a only bdg GK?

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Set and forget although which atm is still to be decided

        1. Tosa86
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          it's the same with one premium GK

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice one, I can get close to this with -4 ... think I'll do it

    3. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo will be Lukaku GW7

  22. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    key question for my WC team...

    is Lukaku worth the extra 3.3m over DCL?

    1. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think it comprises team too much and upsets the balance to go with both Ronaldo and Lukaku but Ronaldo DCL and Antonio look great.

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

      no, but when you throw in the captaincy then yes.

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is Ronaldo worth an extra 4.3m over DCL?

      1. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yes

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Over a decent run with fixtures, yes. Will he outscore DCL in the next 3? It's even's I reckon.

  23. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Three draft for WC:
    1)
    Lloris 4.0
    Jansson Alonso Williams shaw virgil

    Antonio Ronaldo dcl

    2)

      Not 1 due to Chilwell and no TAA, 2 and 3 are basically twins and depend on Firmino.

      1. Tosa86
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        2 and 3 depends 1 or 2 GK to rotate him

  24. Ronnies
    • 8 Years

    Is Marcal nailed for Wolves ?
    I know Coady is, but he's very boring to own.

    Thanks.

    1. OneDennisBergkamp

      i have him in my WC

  25. Miami Monkey

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw White (Livramento Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Benrahma (Brownhill)
    DCL Antonio Toney

    1.4m ITB, 1 FT. Feel like things are in decent shape. Can obviously do Toney/Bruno to Ronaldo/Torres for a it. But am I crazy to feel like it's a better idea to hold? Gives us time to see if DCL is fit, Toney has a good fixture, Ronaldo may not start, can see how long Firmino may be out in case I decide on Jota instead of Torres, etc

  26. Eewraks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How essential do y'all think Antonio is? I reckon he could be the one to miss out to accommodate 3 premiums (Salah + CR7 + Lukaku) and Jota and TAA. My argument is Europa league is starting he will be playing midweek & weekends and West Ham didn't sign another striker, and also its unlikely that he will be captained anytime soon.

    Am i missing something?

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

      I'd keep him as long as he stays fit.

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

      essential whilst fit

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He can go in GW 7.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree. Great start, appreciate his hauls, but I don't think he'll keep it up once Europa kicks in. 7 GWs for me.

    I wanna transfer Ings out this week (thanks for points!)

    Ings -> Ronaldo & Bruno -> Greenwood for a hit

    No brainer right?
