Scoreboard

FPL Gameweek 5 round-up: Sunday’s goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m) scored again for Manchester United as Said Benrahma (£6.4m) rewarded his owners with his first goal since Gameweek 2.

Neal Maupay (£6.5m) and Danny Welbeck (£6.0m) inspired Brighton and Hove Albion moved up to fourth after a 2-1 win over Leicester City, while Chelsea kept another clean sheet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of today’s games but in the meantime, our long-dormant Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

FPL TAKEAWAYS

  • Since making his second Manchester United debut in Gameweek 4, Cristiano Ronaldo has registered three goals, 13 goal attempts, 12 shots in the box, five big chances and 3.24 expected goals (xG), all league-leading totals. During that time, team-mate Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) has managed just one attempt in the box, though it did hit the post.
  • Following today’s game, Luke Shaw (£5.5m) ranks 30th amongst all defenders for FPL points with 18. Despite that, his 14 chances created is only bettered by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m), while his average position (no 23) v West Ham United was as advanced as Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) on the opposite flank.

Manchester United’s average position map v West Ham United in Gameweek 5

  • Man Utd delivered 33 crosses into the box against West Ham, their highest total in a single league game so far this season, with Shaw responsible for 16 of them.
  • Benrahma’s deflected effort for West Ham opened the scoring at the London Stadium, his first goal since Gameweek 2. The Algerian now ranks second amongst all midfielders for FPL points, only behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.5m). Next up for the Hammers is a trip to Leeds United.
  • Brighton moved up to fourth in the Premier League table after a 2-1 victory over Leicester City, their fourth win of the season. Budget enabler Shane Duffy (£4.2m) supplied the assist for Maupay’s penalty, and has now provided 27 FPL points across his five starts.
  • It’s now three defeats in five matches for Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes in 2021/22. However, Jamie Vardy (10.4m) continues to produce, with three goals, one assist and five bonus points during that time.
  • It was a quiet afternoon for Spurs duo Harry Kane (£12.2m) and Son Heung-min (£10.0m), as Chelsea restricted them to a combined four shots, with just one arriving in the box.
  • Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) made his fifth consecutive start today, as Ben Chilwell (£5.7m) still waits to play his first minute of Premier League football this season. Today’s assist for the Spaniard – his second attacking return of the campaign – means that he is now the top scoring defender in the game.

INJURIES AND BANS

The best goalkeepers for UEFA Champions League Fantasy

Edouard Mendy (£6.0m) missed out for Chelsea today, with Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.9m) replacing him in goal.

The Senegalese stopper was involved in a collision towards the end of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Zenit on Tuesday, which meant he had trouble diving.

“Edou got a huge hit, we tried everything in the last days but he never felt fully comfortable in diving.” – Thomas Tuchel

Yves Bissouma (£4.6m) appeared to pick up a knock at the Amex Stadium. Despite not being taken off initially, he was finally withdrawn after 79 minutes, with Graham Potter providing an update after the match:

“He was desperate to play, the medical department were ok with it. He extended his knee a little bit. As the game starts to go on, the fatigue might be a problem, but he was desperate to go out. It was a decision for the medical department.”

Elsewhere, Son made a surprise return from injury and played the full 90 minutes for Spurs, as did team-mate Eric Dier (£4.6m). 

However, the injuries sustained by Lucas Moura (£6.5m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) in the Europa Conference League kept them out.

After serving one-match bans in Gameweek 5, Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m) will both now be available for their respective teams next weekend.

    We are not talking about Alonso and keeps on ticking, with no end to his first team involvement. Maybe its time we take him serious. What happened to Chilwell though? Is he a second 11 now?

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

      Will be between Alonso and Rudi for me next week. Will probably be dull and go Rudi though.

    2. jackruet

      Not a single Chelsea player is 100 percent nailed let alone alonso.

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

        All players are not nailed, but some are more not nailed than others

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years

          Depends on the hammer!

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years

          Four defenders good, two defenders bad

    3. Casual Player

      I had him and got spooked by the mythical Chilwell and WCed him out GW4. Big regret. Since Tuchel took over, he’s played most games, and when he doesn’t, he tends to avoid the 1pt cameos. Better option than R James IMO (and I posted that here before the weekend, so this is not just a hindsight post).

    4. Dr. Rog

      I think if you are on a 3 premium strat then Rudiger looks the best bet.

      If you are on a 2 premium strat then use the Ronaldo --> Lukaku dividend to get yourself an operational 1st sub e.g. Christensen/Tierney, and go with James.

      Very nice team!

    2. jackruet
      • 2 Years

      That's a good team.i would change shaw

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw -> Cancelo if you can afford it

  3. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres out for a hit?

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years

      Context for an opinion?

      1. GreennRed

        No

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

      Nah, back in the line up potentially?

      Pep was going on about getting the line up wrong & I think they look better with him up top

    Greenwood didnt do much and his returns were very lucky.
    He is not involved enough, is it time to go to Sar or just to risky before AVL?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Villa will be a tough game but should have goals. I’d keep for that.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping him for the Villa game, and then out he goes.

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

      He almost assisted two goals and a nailed on if Ronaldo squared it

      In summary he’s involved still

  5. Budgies
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My current team is:

    Sanchez, Gunn
    TAA, James, Livramento, Semedo, Coady
    Pogba, Jota, Torres, Benrahama, Gray
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio

    I have 2FT and looking to possibly take a hit to bring in these changes:

    Coady > Cancelo
    James > Rudiger / Alonso
    Torres > Kovacic

    James and Torres look to uncertain, where as other Chelsea and Man C def look set. Just not sure About Rudiger over Alonso as i sense Alonso may get benched soon. Thoughts please?

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

      Alonso does seem to be 1st choice LWB now, but I wouldnt be so hasty to get rid of James - might have been benched because of the burglary & I'd expect his mins to be similar to Alonso long term.

      I think you'll regret bringing in Kovacic though - don't see a spot for him now that Kanté is back (clearly Jorginho & Kanté as holding mids, no?)

  6. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance DCL makes a recovery in time for Norwich?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

    2. Dogs Of War
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No chance

  7. jackruet
    • 2 Years

    After gw 7,
    Sanchez
    Trent christensen livra rudiger
    Salah sarr benrahma
    Lukaku ronaldo antonio

    Foster, allan Macarthur omobami

    Thoughts?

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

      Playing Livramento every week? I love how he's saved me from Trent & Chilwell 0pt-ers the last couple weeks & Southampton have been impressing, but still not sure about that

  8. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with my def?

    Sanchez, Steele
    Shaw, TAA, Coady, Duffy, Williams
    Allan, Gray, Greenwood, Jota, Salah
    ASM, Ronaldo, Antonio

    1.5 ITB 1FT,

    Thoughts & advice pls?

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

      Shaw --> Chelski for GW7.
      If you have no other pressing matters then Livramento looks to be the pick of the 4s.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        looking at Shaw to Rudiger GW7 onwards... thinking Coady needs to go but who for?

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

          Probably Livramento. Extra $$ never hurt

          1. the dom 1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Thanks for the assistance 😉

  9. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    This is going to be a classic for me up there with the likes of Son out for Bruno last season when he scored 4.

    Brought Torres in on my WC for two blanks, selling him this week before Che Liv, he'll probably score in both.

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

      U can't sell him. Keep him

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

        Oh I'm selling him alright so get him in and stick the C on him

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

      Also brought Torres in 2 weeks ago (not on WC) and dumping for Sarr….can’t see him getting much against Chelsea and Liverpool (famous last words)

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

    Thoughts on the below ?

    For GW6: Keep Bruno, keep FT, (c) Salah
    For GW7: Scarlet Bruno Shaw to Kaku (c) 4.5 Rudi -4
    For GW8: Greenwood out

    I could consider getting Kovacic instead of 4.5 but it would block potential Chelsea def double up. Probably can’t get rid of Greenwood earlier.

    1. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same plan but wildcarding in GW8. Haven't decided if I play Ayling or take a hit for Rudiger in GW7.

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

      Stick to the plan. Dont get Kovacic

  11. tim
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres to Gallagher
    Toney to Lukaku

    I can do those moves NOW, with any price drops/increases not happening.

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tricky. Personally I wouldn't bring in two guys both of whom have difficult fixtures.

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

        Gallagher is home v Brighton so not exactly tough as we all know from owning Sanchez

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          My bad. For some strange reason I thought Palace were playing Liverpool this week. Just checked it out.
          In that case, good moves.

      2. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Gallagher has BHA at home

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, just checked out the fixtures and corrected my statement above.

    2. tim
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Also makes it possible to have Kaku, Taa, Salah, Greenwood and CR.

      Team value 101,2.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would if you can't absorb price changes.

      1. tim
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        0.0

        Sanchez Foster
        Shaw Tsimi Taa Amartey Coufal
        Greenwood Salah Bissouma Ben X
        CR Dennis X

        I will pull the trigger, Kaku will go up before his nice fixtures.

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Nay

  12. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    No Salah, Lukaku captaincy fail but still got a respectable 67pts. Many ways to skin a cat.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      *also Trent and James no shows!

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

      Lol i had Salah captain and still scored less than you, like you i desperately need Kaku to score, so unlucky not to get anything but then i'm quite used to it

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        was frustrating for sure mate!

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

      Lot of truth to this statement.

    4. TIM NICE BUT DIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      What is it with you and skinning cats?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I live in China 😉

    5. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seen a few people on this site say there are only specific ways to skin a cat though.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea

      Ben & Livramento jam off the bench ?

  15. Chappers96
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all,

    No idea what to do, I have 2 FTs only 0.1m ITB.. Want to roll 1 transfer for next week.

    Sa
    TAA, Shaw, Rudiger
    Salah, Jota, Sarr, Traore
    Ronaldo, Bamford, Antonio

    Gunn, Livramento, Allen, WIlliams

    Maybe move Traore/Shaw on?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw must go on. Can start to grab funds for Lukaku.

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

      You're G2G. I'd keep Shaw for Villa at least. Maybe Traore to Gray (NOR)?

  16. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Take a -4 to bring in Lukaku vs. Southampton but not captain him (Ronaldo)

    B. Play Vardy vs. Palace

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B not worth -4 without cap

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

        I'm on that at the moment. Cheers.

  17. Footieboot
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Budget mids are a tough one this season. People are rushing to bring Sarr but he just played the only team that is worse than Watford. Watford look very problematic going forward. Benrahma looked great against Newcastle and a crappy Leicester side but has been anonymous in the other 3 fixtures. Gray is overperforming but at least he had a good game this GW. Gallagher plays great and is very involved in Palace's attack but fixtures aren't brilliant and he isn't great at finishing his chances. Traore no end product but good fixtures. Raphinha is the only one that I would be confident owning week in week out.

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

      Gallagher has 2 goals, 2 assists in 4 games vs BRE whu TOT liv.

      Those are not easy games. He also has higher xG and xA than Sarr. I think Gallagher is the one to go for.

      1. Footieboot
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think I agree. For now my team is structured with Jota and Greenwood plus one budget mid so Raph is taking that spot but Gallagher is probably my go to once I downgrade Jota/Greenwood.

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

      You only need two of them, Raph and swap between the others based on form fixtures?

    3. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Being generous to Newcastle here

      1. Footieboot
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe but I feel that Wilson and ASM could be just enough to drag them out of the mud despite them being terrible overall.

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

      Gallagher is a set and forget option. Most of the time he will get 2 cz its Palace. But good value for money

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. Have a hard time committing to one other than Raphinha. Defenders way better value.

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

      I'm targeting Norwich with my FT going forward. Owning TAA, Salah, Ronaldo, Lukaku & Chelsea defender results in having a lot of that kinda priced players. Sometimes one of them could be benched due to fixture if Livramento/Sissoko/Kovacic looks a better prospect in that given week, but think my FTs will be targeting players in that price range while avoiding price drops on the handfull of players in and out of my squad.

      Something like this for GW7:
      .1 ITB
      Schmeicel
      TAA - Rüdiger - Semedo - Tierney
      Salah - Gallagher - Kovacic
      Ronaldo - Lukaku - Wood

      (Ward, Gray, Sissoko, Livramento)

      GW 8: Wood -> Maupay. (.5 ITB) bench Semedo, Sissoko, Livramento
      GW 9: Save FT (.5 ITB) bench Maupay, Sissoko, Semedo
      GW 10: Bring in Raphinha or Bamford
      GW 11: Bring in Toney or Mbuemo
      GW 12: JWP, Adams or Armstrong
      and so on

    7. space mercenary
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. When you look at the potential points for these players come the end of the season, 150 would be a good score. VVD could smash that at 170 plus. So too Cancelo, Alonso potentially at relatively bargain prices. I feel I am slowly migrating to 4 if not 5 at the back this season. It started this week with Torres / Marcal to Alonso / Cancelo. Allows Salah, Trent, Ron
      Antonio and Luk too.

  18. Wivanee

    Any update with Raph and Firmimo injuries?

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      None as yet, prob have to wait for the pressers

  19. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Antonio
    B) Bamford

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

      A hands down

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

      A easy

  20. TIM NICE BUT DIM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Here's a thought: Gallagher's (and CRY's) fixtures aren't actually that bad at all.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Three winnable games and will probably give ARS a good game. Seem to be a better team this year.

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No, they're not, the only 3 fixtures I would call bad are LIV, MCI and CHE, the rest is ok/winable.

        Palace for 4th then?

        1. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          You know that wasn't my point.

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

      I brought in Gallagher.

      It is a plausible scenario that if at xmas Palace >> Arsenal then you might see Vieira make the move across.

    Gallagher or Kovacic?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher clear as day between the two

      1. tim
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers mate!

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher ye agreed

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

      There are not many clubs where you are going to use 3 slots on, but Chelsea you could have 5 from at least. Dont waste 1 of them on Kovacic

  22. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not a good weekend for VAR. Never a penalty for BHA. Vestergard was being held down. How can they get that wrong?

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

      Not just that, but the 2 disallowed goals for Leicester also.
      Bit of a misleading result in that match when VAR was responsible for a 3 goal swing

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Only seen first half so far. HT now.

  23. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best Keeper for the rest of the season?

    A) Ederson
    B) Allison
    C) Mendy
    D) Other?

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

      A or B but a 4.5 should prove better value long term

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

      Potentially Ramsdale.

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Don't feel comfortable with a premium gk, you know that someone cheap will obliterate them for value, whether that's Ramsdale or someone else (Raya?)

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

        Agreed think Ramsdale could be the right combination of defensive side, saves and bonus

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

      I still think the 4.5's represent the best value and help with team structure as you wouldn't want Alison as he takes up a Liverpool spot, same with Ederson and Mendy

    4. Yome
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      DDG at 5

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

        I've got DDG, but in 2 minds.
        Kind of want to get rid to free cash, kind of want him for that GW13-25 run....

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

      Ramsdale (arsenal defensive + saves) or Guaita (bps + saves)

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is ramsdale Number 1 though? Rumours of Leno coming back in?

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

          Leno is on his way out of the club

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

          The talk is if they want to sell Leno they have to put him in the shop window

          1. McSauce
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            ye exactly, this is my worry

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

              I'll probably just sit on DDG then. Looked back to his best so far and that pen save will give him confidence.

        3. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Carabao cup game on Wednesday will tell us more.
          It's about time we told Leno thanks but no thanks. Solid stopper but just so unprofessional, the text to Martinez saying thanks, and then deciding he wants to leave after all, he's a wetwipe.

    6. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy.

      BHA or BRE gks for value. Both ranked in top 5 for xG.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Both don't seem to rack up saves. It would be good if we get a defence that gives up a lot of pea rollers.

  24. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota or Torres to Gallagher? Freeing cash up to get Lukaku.

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

      Torres out. Jota has one more week.

  25. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Things can change quickly for mid- lower teams quickly. So depending on stats is not a great idea for them. Example wolves, Southampton. Newcastle, leeds can fight back anytime

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hear, hear. Leeds for a top 4 finish.

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

      thats right - they are midtable clubs and by definition inconsistently brilliant.

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

      I reckon Newcastle will survive the drop this season along with Southampton. Not sure about the other 2 teams you have mentioned.

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So true. Set your big hitter and defense structure for the long run, and swap the mid-priced forwards and mids based on form and fixtures

  26. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pick 3 for the foreseeable future:

    A) Odegaard
    B) Gray
    C) Sarr
    D) Gallagher
    E) Raphinha
    F) Doucoure
    G) Benrahma

    Don't have the budget for C+E+G

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

      B,C,E

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

      E D C G B A F

  27. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    on WC, who to chose?
    A- Guaita
    B- Ramsdale
    C- Sanchez

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

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

      B

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

      B

  28. The-Red-1

    Planning to get in 2 Chelsea defenders (with a playing sub) after next game.
    Alonso and... Rudiger or James?

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My issue is I cant figure out who is nailed.

      Azpi Rotateswith James
      Alonso will no doubt rotate with Chilwell
      Christensen doesnt always play

      I think Rudiger and Silva are the best buys in terms of minutes

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

        also happened to be the top scorers this week. James was must have a few weeks ago. be careful of recency bias.
        by GW8, James+Chilwell could be the place to be.

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rudiger is "safer", James and Alonso, if you get lucky, will be megapoints 7 through 11

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

      Rudiger
      Dave
      Christ
      James
      Silva
      Alonso
      Chilwell
      Chabolah

      Feels like an injury is required to firm it up a bit.

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

      I think the safe choice is Rudi with either James/Alonso. Having both WBs too risky, both Rudi & Christensen a bit boring

  29. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Save FT or ship out Torres?
    £0.0 ITB

    Meslier
    TAA, Digne (yuk), Marcal
    Benrahma, Torres, Salah (C), Raphina
    Bamford, Antonio, Ronaldo (VC)

    Foster, Gilmour, White, Tsimikas

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would dump for Sarr

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oddly enough, that was who I originally had. Ditched him for Benrahma in GW3.

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

    I have not watched football for more or less 2 years now but what I can say is Rodgers is absolutely wasting Tieliemans talent playing in a deep role.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So are you saying that all your musings on here are just based on stats and write ups?

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

        Many of the players from when I stopped watching football are still around including Tieliemans.

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

      I think that's where he's always played, no? Might be better for him (& leicester generally) if they play 2 up front & no AMC though
