Last chance to enter FanTeam’s £1m season game – start on 202 points in GW4


Sponsored by FanTeam


Thought you’d missed the boat on FanTeam‘s £1m FPL-style Fantasy game?

Fear not, as you have one final chance to enter ahead of Gameweek 4 – and you won’t be starting from zero points!

Late registration is still open for FanTeam‘s season-long game, which carries a guaranteed prize pool of £1m.

And if you sign up for a Fantasy Football Scout annual Premium Membership for the 2021/22 season and a FanTeam £1m Premier League game ticket worth £20, you’ll get a refund or extension on your FFS Membership!

CLICK HERE TO GET THE FANTEAM TICKET/SCOUT MEMBERSHIP OFFER

Finishing in the top 5,000 places ensures a cash prize, with £200,000 of the kitty going straight to the winner.

Weekly and monthly prizes are also awarded.

New teams registered before the next FanTeam deadline at 11am BST on Saturday morning will be handed a whopping 95% of the average Gameweek 1-3 scores (which equates to 202 points), so will immediately have the edge over thousands Fantasy managers who were involved from the outset.

In case you needed more persuading, here’s how you can turn your late entry into an advantage.

UNLIMITED TRANSFERS

Those entering a new team in FanTeam‘s £1m FPL-style Fantasy game will get unlimited free transfers between now and the start of Gameweek 4.

While those who registered teams before 2021/22 got underway will only have one or two free transfers (and the precious Wildcard) in their locker, managers of newly entered teams will get to tweak their sides as much as they like until the next deadline.

GAMEWEEK 1-3 EYE TEST AND STATS

Picking a squad ahead of Gameweek 1 relies a lot on gut instinct, with the knowledge that last season’s performances and statistics may now be immaterial.

Fantasy managers entering a FanTeam squad ahead of Gameweek 3 will have the benefit of having seen all 20 Premier League clubs in action on the first two Gameweeks of 2021/22, so will be armed with line-up information, eye test observations and up-to-date underlying stats when creating their teams from scratch.

For example, shots on target are now rewarded with points in FanTeam – so we can see now see which players are racking up the efforts for their teams (as above), as well as the usual goals and assists.

FIXTURE SWINGS

A number of sides are about to go on excellent fixture runs, namely Wolves, Leeds, Watford and Arsenal, while the likes of Aston Villa are set to embark on trickier schedules.

For example, late entrants can select Patrick Bamford (£7.5m) over Danny Ings (£8.1m) and be one step ahead of the curve in readiness for Leeds’ eye-catching fixtures.

MAKE ROOM FOR RONALDO…

While most of us face a CR7-sized headache as to how to accommodate Manchester United’s ‘new’ signing, late entrants can either add him from the off – he’s priced up as a more tempting £11.5m forward in FanTeam, too.

A home fixture against a defensively suspect Newcastle United side immediately after the international break certainly look appealing.

    How's the below looking chaps?

    4.5
    TAA, Shaw, Coady
    Salah, Raphinha, Gray, ESR
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio

    (Steer, Ayling, Sissoko, Livramento)

    Just about talked myself into 3 premiums + TAA. ESR rotation with Ayling & even Sissoko should just about work with upcoming fixtures. May get caught out without Greenwood/Jota/Torres but can't have them all and they'll presumably all lose some minutes at some point.

    Cheers!!

      I like it - The difference between our teams (not including bench) is I have greenwood, Jota, and Pukki where you have Gray, ESR and Ronaldo. Both viable I think.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years

      Well... You're aware of the risks.

      Jota, Torres or Greenwood could all become essential if their place becomes locked either from good form or injuries.

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

        Cheers - yep. It's the risk of going without Lukaku vs. going without Jota & Greenwood. The rest of the Team is set up so if in a couple of weeks it becomes apparent Jota/Greenwood become essential it's a case of Lukaku & Gray/ESR -> DCL & Greenwood/Torres/Jota and Raphinha -> another one if needed.

    If Ronaldo trained with United today, surely he’s in line to start against Newcastle? Forget what The Sun said. We have enough knowledgeable people on here to offer thoughts.

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

      He available to start for sure. But we can't be certain he will. Maybe 70/30 in favour of a start imo. Wouldn't surprise be to see him start on the bench but others feel much stronger he will come straight in and start.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      he will have trained with about 5 team mates, non-first-teamers but it is Ronaldo so not sure that matters - the only thing I'd think of is if they've done loads of 'pressing' drills that Ronaldo won't be up to speed on yet, also the fact it's mugging Cavani off a little bit but he seems nice so doubt that will be a factor - I reckon it's about 85/15 for a start now annoyingly

      The day any of us start believing the Sun will be a sad day indeed.

        Freddie Starr never ate that hamster?

    4. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He played 90 minutes last week for Portugal, is in training this week. You would assume he is fully fit. If he is fully fit why wouldn't he play?

      Not buying the learning a system cobblers. He's a striker the goal is the same size.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years

        Very much this last sentence is it. Especially knowing he won't be pressing a ton as it is.

  3. Heres hoping x 7
    • 5 Years

    Ronaldo guaranteed to start vs Newcastle?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Here's hoping.

    2. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gaurenteed? No. Likely? Yes.

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

    So..
    - dcl still yellow flagged
    - Son hurt
    - Cr7 may be quarantined ..?
    - lukaku “hurt”
    - uncertainty on the Argentinians and Brazilians

    Pays to not activate the wildcard or make those early transfers!

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

      Doesn't change much if you're on a wildcard. Unlimited transfer and assuming we get news in the pressers should be ok.

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      More worried about the Wilson one personally, going to eat a price drop I fear.

    3. Vlekz
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Not really. If all are confirmed out before deadline WCs can easily have kane + jiminez for their easy fixture and switch to lukaku/ronaldo and DCL as and when they become options, that won't require any surgery whatsoever.

    4. Cok3y5murf

      Not sure if this has been asked before, but will Ronaldo start this weekend?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure.

      2. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes IMO.

      3. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        Who?

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 7 months ago

          100%, I am Ronaldo so I know

          1. Harry the Hack
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks for taking time out from training to help us out Ronny.

            Now get back in quarantine

        • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          To be honest - and it kind of pains me to say it - As box office as it would be, I don’t think he will start

          I think if Cavani is fit he’ll get the nod as Ole loves Eddy and after the mountains they moved to persuade him to sign for another year I think Ole will feel a bit of an obligation there

          Similarly with Greenwood - it would be so harsh not to start he kid in the form he’s been in & would do his confidence no good at all

          Plus Ronaldo is only through the door a wet minute, so in terms of tactics/prep etc he’ll be a bit behind (not something that can’t be fixed with a few days on the training ground though)

          That’s the head talking though

          The heart says - it’s ronaldo - of bloody course he’s starting

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

            I think he will start. If it was anyone else, even Messi, I'd say bench, but it's Ronaldo. He's had 3 days training, everyone is there to see him, he will be so up for it.

            I don't think he gets through the whole game though. Ronaldo > Cavani around the 70 minute mark.

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

              Yeah I agree. I thought Cavani would start and Ronaldo would come off the bench, but seeing Ronaldo back in training now (pics just released), thats a full 4 days to prep... his yellow card and early release has meant he will probs have more prep time for the Newcastle game than most (with many still out on international duty, eg Bruno playing in half an hour).

              Plus I don't care if Ole is married to Cavani and Greenwood is their first born son, there is no imaginable scenario for me whereby Ole feels he can choose either over a fit, prepared, returning Ronaldo

        • Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          This is actually the first time anyone has asked.

      5. FPL Brains

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        The more this week goes on, the more I think I might just captain Salah.

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

          Thinking the same myself.. Will be questions on a lot of the others.

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

          If Jota starts I don’t like Salah at all to be honest.

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

            What? Why?

          2. WHUFCSmith23
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Why?

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

              Compare Salah stats with Firmino v with Jota. Massive difference. When Jota starts Salah plays wider to help with the build up more where as when Firmino plays he drops deep to build up and Salah carries the goal threat in the box.

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

          This is on my mind too

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years

          Salah bangs regardless of Jota and co.

        5. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          When does Salah return from international duty, or did he stay in the UK?

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

        Coady, Killman, or Marcal?

          Coady

          1. @persecuted_by_mods

              Coady for sure

          2. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Marry coady, Kill killman and sh*g marcal

              Marcel is *probably* safe for now, but his attacking value probably isn't worth the extra risk

              I read he was likely out, but will wait for press conferences.

              I wouldn’t be risking him v palace with tougher games to come.

            Is Lukaku going to outscore DCL over the next 3?
            Dont think so.

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

              DCL has better fixtures but I think the Villa and Spurs game are both fine for Lukaku to do well in.

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

              close one, could go either way really

            3. Kun Tozser
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Think Rondon allows him to get the op and fitness sorted though?

            4. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Doubt it. Unless DCL is injured.

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

              I think Lukaku will outscore him. Brace v Villa and very good chance of a goal vs City and Spurs

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

            Urghhh Son getting injured is so annoying. Went too early with 2 FTs to avoid price changes.

            Do you think it worth a -8 to go Son and Ings -> Ronaldo and Grey.

            Or just accept the wildcard now?

              • 9 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              If these are the only changes, will depend if you think a WC is worth more than 8 points.

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

                I feel like I wanted to wait a few more weeks for fixtures and form to settle; plus son has done well for me so far and palace is a great fixture.

                -8 feels a bit much but FOMO with Ronaldo is proving pretty strong

              2. FPL Theorist
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Compared to no wildcard, a wildcard is definitely worth much more than 8 points.

                But is a wildcard later instead of now worth 8 points? Not so sure.

                  Got a Veltman problem myself - don't think it's likely he'll get straight back in with the form Duffy has shown, no?

                    • 6 Years
                    2 years, 7 months ago

                    Yep I’m carrying a few issues like Veltman as not sure he’ll start; or Brighton keep a clean sheet anyway.

              I've more or less stopped making early moves having been stung by this type of stuff so many times. Quite nice not bothering to check FPL Statistics ever.

              I would not take the -8. Just cross your fingers he plays.

              Actually, I remember having Son last season and then I took him out when he was "injured". Next game he played and hauled against 10-men United.

                Very good point, that burned me as well.

                I’m definitely waiting for press conferences

            Where does this Traore hype come from? Fixtures and xG are both good, but I don’t really get the interest, despite the „fun to watch“ aspect. I think Adama could get some assists, but can’t see him scoring more than 5 goals a season due to no end product.

              2 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah I agree with you. There's a lot of people who have jumped on the bandwagon here but it's like Harvey Barnes all over again.

              1. Amartey Partey
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                That's a good comparison. It's exactly like the Barnes bandwagon.

              Where does this Traore hype come from? [proceeds to identify two key reasons in fixtures and XGi]

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

                I dont think wolves are a team which score lots of goals, regardless on the fixtures and Traore has never got more than like 5 goals a season, so I dont really care about his xG

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  Yes but you’ve answered your own question - the hype about Traore is coming from his good fixtures and his XGi

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

              6m. Midfielder. Great fixtures. Elite underlying stats. People need to remember in previous seasons he was always a RWB / RM who played wide and deep. Now he’s a left forward and carries the most goal threat in an attacking side. Yes his end product isn’t great but it’s not as bad as people make out

              1. Kun Tozser
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Zero end product

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

                The 6m bit is key for me.

                I don’t expect regular returns at that price but with fixtures and stats he’s easily capable of 25-30 points over next 5 which is great value.

              3. Amartey Partey
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                That's kind of the thing though. He seems like a RWB playing too far up the pitch. I prefer actual attacking creative players so it doesn't make sense to drop the likes of Benrahma for him.

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

              His new position.

              There is a very big difference between playing RWB and LW.

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

              He has been great to watch for a couple of years, but just think he would do better with a different team than Wolves.
              He is good value at 6M, Soucek is more proven at the same price, all depends, no one knows what will happen, but if he starts to be better with finishing, he will be in a lot of teams and he will have more confidence, and built like rugby player with that speed!! he's definitely worth a punt, but I am sticking with Benrahma and Gray for time being in the price category!

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

              5 goals is very hopeful since he has 7 in 4 seasons in the PL

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

              Finishing leaves a lot to be desired but his assist potential is massive. If wolves' luck changes and they start to go in - I can't see him not being involved in the points and at 6mil it would be a bargain

          7. FPL Brains

            Just following up on what MBP said, what's the chances Ronaldo's debut is saved for a televised match?

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              I can't see it happening. Maybe his full debut perhaps?

              Slim.

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

              It would be a massive shame if he was only brought in for commercial reasons. Let's hope that isn't the case

              It is already being televised in most of the world, which is what Utd care about

                • 13 Years

                Good call as most United fans don't live in Manchester, nevermind the UK.

                  And this isn't a dig at the 50k season ticket supporters. All credit to them. But there's another 73m fans in the rest of the world.

                This. Plus they will have a capacity crowd with all the real world fanfare football is traditionally about, can't forget that!

          8. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Who would you start?

            A. Reguilon (pal)
            B. Benrahma (sou)
            C. Duffy (bre)

              All three, all good options. If I had to pick; C, A, B.

              Jimmy instead of Jimenez and upgrade ESR?

              Could also save 0.5 of doing Ayling to Williams

              1. RamaJama

                • 11 Years

              • 5 Years

              Thanks all. Alternative is to downgrade DCL and go 3-5-2 with Greenwood and Sarr instead of ESR and Allan.

              Then I could maybe do Greenwood to Torres in GW5

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

              Jota if Firmino is out for first 2 games. Torres if not

            4. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Possibly not Jota, but it depends on the whole Firmino thing.

            5. Hart-ake
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Jota and Torres probably.

            6. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Torres

            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            One has started the season in the form of his life, one is likely to get more minutes due to other injuries, and one has leicester liverpool chelsea away in his next 4, with KDB and Foden returning, you decide

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

              The last one sounds interesting

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

              I wouldn't worry about the Leicester fixture!

            3. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Leicester are paying a slightly makeshift defence and then they play Southampton at home - any of those mids are a decent two week punt imo

          12. The Mantis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            Will this (WC) do? please?

            Sanchez (Ward)
            TAA / Shaw / Semedo (Duffy / Livra)
            Salah / Mount / Raph / Traore (Bissouma)
            CR7 / Antonio / DCL

            Sorry to go over old ground!

            1. Hart-ake
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Would be tempted to hold off on Mount for now and go Torres for a short-term punt. Or Jota. Looks great overall though.

          13. wazzaaa
            • 2 Years

            So my team now, good?
            Raya
            Reguilon, TAA, Shaw, Alonso
            Salah, Jota, Benrahma
            DCL, Antonio, CR7

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

              4 defs and 3 mids nothing for me, but looks very strong!

          14. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            If Son is out, how about: Son & Armstrong to ESR and Ronaldo. Would be my third 5.5 mid though.

            1. Hart-ake
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Would be for a minus 8.

              1. WHUFCSmith23
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Did you have another Ronaldo plan? A minus 8 is crazy in my opinion. I would wildcard before doing that personally.

                1. Hart-ake
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  Yeah, has to be a minus 8 for him at this point. Already used my transfer and can't get him without another move. I agree, I'm pretty tempted to wildcard if Son is out.

          15. Tic Tacs
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Thinking that holding the wildcard for now is probably my best option, just can't justify major surgery to my team right now:

            Sanchez
            TAA, Shaw, Dier
            Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Harrison
            Antonio, Jimenez, Toney

            Steele, Femenia, Livramento, Brownhill
            1.7 ITB

            Gonna try and keep a couple of FT to get Mount and Lukaku in before GW7 for Bruno and Toney

            1. WHUFCSmith23
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Agree, who would you even wildcard for. Not worth it

              1. Tic Tacs
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Just the FOMO of no Ronaldo or Lukaku but think I would regret it, already taken a -4 to bring in Jimenez for Ings

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

                  True, but would you regret it more if prices rose to high to get one of them in later and keep the rest of the squad you want? I think that is the biggest risk and the reason why WC now is the only way of safeguarding from that. I haven't done it either but only because I think I can just about get Ronaldo in 2 weeks if I need him. But it will be tight.

                  1. Tic Tacs
                    • 4 Years
                    2 years, 7 months ago

                    I guess I'm going to have to keep a close eye on the price rises and react when necessary, although I agree that would be frustrating to miss out. I'm looking at Lukaku over Ronaldo for now as the Utd fixtures turn and I plan to stick to a 2 premiums strategy for maximum flexibility.

            Someone convince me of Traore Jota Torres. I want Torres but his fixtures urhhh. Plus Champ League approaching

              Torres playing as Man City Striker.

              That is all you need to know.

              The issue with that price point is that all the 7.5ms that people want are Greenwood, Jota and Torres. They could all get limited minutes.

              At least Traore is nailed (not that I rate him haha)

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Traore is a groovy player but whether he will bring points on a regular basis is yet to be proven.

                He has proven all over his FPL career to be unreliable.

                His FPL career is proof.

                  Couldn't agree more FF. Would rather go with somebody that can tick over in that price range.

                  Yes, but in all fairness he is playing a different position this year, and given how he (and Wolves) have looked under Lage it does smell like more points will come.
                  In addition I think this is the most 'nailed on' Traoré we have seen, and in recent years I would argue many of those missed opportunities is related to how he got rotated most of the time.

            A: Shaw + ESR
            B: Tierney + Sarr
            C: Dier + Saka

              B for me but with CR7 maybe A is the best way to go

            Is Reece James back for Spurs game or city game?

          20. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Torres at 7.1m, playing CF, honestly, you cannot go wrong...

            Is Bobby is out, can Jota cover Salah?

            1. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Salah remains FPL King

              1. linkafu

                This

              Its fairly possible that Jota is the most overrated player in FPL. Reminds me of an expensive version of Cancelo or Traore. His stats are brilliant but I just wouldn't trust him.

              Could blank 4 weeks in a row then hit a 20 pointer. Just really never know when it's coming.

                • 5 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                His results generally check out too, to be fair.

                • 5 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                I feel like there's nothing factual or statistically to support this statement.

              I'm talking myself into it.

          22. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Any news on if Sancho is back in training?

            If White drops when will it happen?

              Unless you are on wildcard it's best to eat that one. His fixtures are great.

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

                he's waiting to buy at 4.3 I think

                I'm on WC! I need 0.1 then I'm happy with the team

          24. Khark
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Wildcard draft 2,578.

            Sa / 4.0
            TAA Digne Rudiger / Tierney (Williams)
            Jota Torres Traore Raphinha (Sissoko)
            Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

            0.8ITB

            - Decent 12th man in Tierney (fixture wise) for the Jota / Torres Rotation.
            - Digne - James in game week 7 and have double Chelsea defence.
            - Big / Brave / Stupid / Maverick Move in midfield. I know, Salah could still return, I've never ever been without him.

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

              IMO Far to much money in DEF. Losing Salah should never be an option!. Does Jota drop to the bench when Bobby is back? Will Torres stay No9 when KDB/Foden are fit again??

            2. Vlekz
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Keep white as the bench option instead of tierney imo, can upgrade digne to dias with that money

              2 years, 7 months ago

              At the moment I'm likely to go for Ings, Tsimikas and Bruno to CR, Jota and Livramento (-4).

              Is a second hit worth it to move Barnes to any midfielder of the same value or below? Or just wait a week and swallow the 2pts?

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

                Your Barnes replacement has to get at least 6 points providing Barnes gets a 2pointer. I'm not sure its worth it.

                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  To pay off immediately, yes. But may be well worth it over 3-4 gws

                I would wait mate
