FPL Gameweek 6 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned

Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) scored for the fifth occasion in six Gameweeks on Saturday as Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) produced a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) blank for the first time since his return to Manchester United.

Raphinha (£6.5m), Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m), Demarai Gray (£5.8m) and Diogo Jota (£7.7m) all delivered attacking returns on a good day for mid-price midfielders, while Michail Antonio (£7.9m) returned to scoring ways and Manchester City banked their fifth clean sheet in six league matches.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on from the day’s Gameweek 6 fixtures.

INJURIES AND BANS

FPL Gameweek 6 round-up: Saturday review, injuries and lessons learned 1

Raphinha (£6.5m) recovered from a hip injury to feature and score in Leeds United’s 2-1 loss to West Ham United but, after overcoming a blow to the head in the first half, was withdrawn midway through the second period – and pictured with ice on his legs on the hosts’ bench.

“He let us know that it was becoming difficult to stay on the pitch. Throughout the whole week, he was recovering from the knock he received against Newcastle. He played a great game as long as he could stay on the field.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha

Burnley goalscorer Maxwel Cornet (£6.0m) is one of three new injury worries for the Clarets.

“We lost J-Rod with a hamstring yesterday. Unfortunately, we lost Vyds to an injury. We’ve lost [Cornet] to an injury, [too]. It’s too early but I think it is his hamstring.” – Sean Dyche

Reece James (£5.6m) limped out of Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester City with an ankle problem, the extent of which is still unknown.

“I don’t know about Reece [James] at the moment. He twisted his ankle and it was very painful for him. I have no other news on him at this stage but let’s see how he is in the next few days.” – Thomas Tuchel

Two other defenders in the same price rung, Manchester United’s Luke Shaw (£5.5m) and Harry Maguire (£5.4m), came off with injuries in their defeat to Aston Villa.

“Sorry, I can’t give you any updates. We will have to use today and tomorrow and Monday or when we get the scans done and see how we are.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) was back on the bench for Liverpool for their clash with Brentford, who lost goalscoring centre-half Ethan Pinnock (£4.6m) to a hip problem in the first half.

Rodri (£5.5m), John Stones (£5.3m), Aymeric Laporte (£5.5m), Joe Willock (£5.9m) and Jack Harrison (£5.8m) were among the previously flagged players who returned to their respective clubs’ matchday squads on Saturday.

THE THINGS WE LEARNED

FPL Gameweek 6 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned 2
NEVER BACK AGAINST CITY’S DEFENCE

It’s five clean sheets on the spin for Manchester City, who didn’t look like conceding at all against Chelsea: the Blues have the lowest expected goals (xG) total of any side in Gameweek 6 so far.

Many of us will be considering City defenders from Gameweek 8 onwards but who would back against them shutting Liverpool out next weekend? Pep Guardiola’s side have conceded only two ‘big chances’ all season and just five shots on target – that’s eight fewer than any other side.

Following his assist at Stamford Bridge, Joao Cancelo (£6.0m) is now top among FPL defenders for points this season.

WHO IS ON PENALTIES AT UNITED?

Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m) skied a stoppage-time penalty as Ronaldo watched on in Manchester United’s defeat to Aston Villa.

Naturally, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was plagued with questions on spot-kicks in his post-match press conference and didn’t give us a completely clear-cut answer on who will take them in future.

“The decision [on who will take penalties] is made before the game, yeah.

“Bruno has been excellent, he’s such a good penalty taker and today, you’d back him with your mortgage. He’ll step forward every day of the week, for the club and the team, sometimes it just doesn’t go your way.

“This is going to be the headline isn’t it? Bruno has been excellent and Cristiano is probably the one who has scored the most penalties in world football. So we’ve got great takers here.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

MID-PRICE MIDFIELDERS REMAIN EN VOGUE

Salah is well clear at the top of the FPL midfielders’ table but the chasing pack are dominated by sub-£8.0m options.

And a look at FPL’s ‘form’ table (points divided by a club’s games played over the last 30 days) shows just why the likes of Sarr and Gray are so in demand.

The trio of Everton players featured above are all now among the top ten highest-scoring midfielders of the season.

Gray and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) have both returned in four of their six starts, while Andros Townsend (£5.4m) appears to be on penalty-taking duties in the absence of Everton’s two strikers – the winger scored from the spot in the Toffees’ 2-0 win over Norwich City.

FIVE DEFENCES TO TARGET

Five teams remain without a clean sheet this season and they all showed on Saturday why they are sides to target from an FPL perspective, conceding in their respective Gameweek 6 fixtures and allowing plenty of chances along the way.

Norwich, Watford, Newcastle, Leeds and Burnley are the clubs in question and all of those teams are in the bottom six for ‘big chances conceded’ in 2021/22.

All bar Newcastle of that quintet conceded between 1.99 and 2.17 expected goals (xG) on Saturday.

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 6

Another week and another table-topping appearance from Antonio, whose expected goal involvement (xGI) figure of 1.63 was the highest in Gameweek 6 so far. The West Ham also couldn’t be bettered for shots in the box (six).

Antonio (5.41) is only narrowly behind Salah (5.43) for xGI over the course of the season, despite playing one game fewer.

The fall of Fernandes in FPL circles has been remarkable but he is not a complete busted flush, especially if – and that’s a big if – he remains on penalties. He created a remarkable 10 chances on Saturday, twice as many as any other player, and more than any other player in a single game in the last 20 months.

Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.7m), who has now delivered attacking returns in five of his six appearances this season, took his tally to 16 key passes with another five at Watford. He is now top among FPL forwards for chances created.

Jamie Vardy (£10.4m) certainly seems to be benefitting from playing as a sole striker and not sharing the limelight with Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.1m). He racked up more penalty box touches (14) than anyone else in Gameweek 6 and is second for that stat among forwards in the season as whole, as well as shots in the box.

Vardy is now level with Salah and Antonio for goals scored (five) in 2021/22.

    2. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would just do Kane -> Lukaku and wait to do the Salag move next week

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

        This is what I'd do.

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Salah has killed me since I sold him in GW3, don’t want it anymore so need him.
        May even captain him to try and claw some back!

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

      To get Salah I would do it.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      only lukaku will rise i think

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

    Sanchez,
    TAA, Livra, Tierney, Duffy, Marcal
    Salah, Jota, Sarr, Docoure, Gallagher
    CR7, Antonio (Bamford)

    1FT available. Any obvious changes required? Might just roll

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes looks like a roll unless Bamford is out or you really want Lukaku

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

    Not sure it posted but Ben Dinnery said Reece James suffered a high ankle sprain.

    Quickest return: 28 days
    Longest return: 113 days
    Average return: 56 days

    Safe to say he'll be out for the foreseeable future.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who takes his place?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        azpi i imagine

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks but then guess he could be rested v sou

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saw that looks bad

    3. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Damn, guess I have to shift my transfers

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

      Christensen a sure starter for now?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Great value if he is - I can do amartey to Christensen

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

        If they play 4-4-2 (which they might against teams that play a low block) he might not, has to compete with Thiago and Chalobah)

    5. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      damn

    6. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wonder if this helps Alonso be more nailed somehow

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

      How does he know it's that specific an injury?

      asking for a friend.

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

        He's an injury specialist

  4. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo to Lukaku before the price rise tonight - Y/N ?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      keep ronaldo for everton imo

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No. Too risky with games midweek.

    3. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet

    4. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why the clamour to get Lukaku in tonight?

      Ronaldo v Everton is just as good a pick for next weekend and by moving now you risk suffering an injury to a player midweek that forces you into a hit.

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

        i think lukaku is the better pick for next weekend but agree with your second point

    5. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Early transfers never a good idea.. don't chase price changes

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

    Best defender from next GW? Is Alonso nailed?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mid week well tell you

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

        ok bro

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

        What you mean

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Who plays mid week usually benched weekend

  6. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Original plan was to WC gw 8 but team is in a mess.

    Sanchez 4m
    TAA Livramento Shaw* Webster* Ayling*
    Salah Jota Raphina Benrahma Gilmour*
    Ronaldo Antonio Dennis
    1FT 3 ITB

    A. Webster > Chelsea defender
    B. WC

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      why a mess???

      a looks good

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You're sounding as rash as the man in your DP when he reviews an LBW that is missing another set of stumps...

      One transfer will get a full XI, and only a hit away from having a pretty decent squad - no WC necessary this week.

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easily A and WC in 8.

  7. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    keep pogba one more game? cheers

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure. Always looks dangerous but not point scoring and that's an issue

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        cheers

      Just joined TM. Not sure what the qualifying score was last week... I only managed 51, but the other gameweeks have been ok.

          oh, nice. May as well jinx myself by joining now.

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years

    Should I do James to Rudiger or wait for now?

    Ramsdale
    Trent James* Dias Livra
    Salah Raph Gray Sarr
    Ronaldo Lukaku

    Steele Marcal Sissoko Scarlett

    1. BrockLanders

      Hold. Too many games midweek

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If I have 2FT?

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

      Risky with Rudiger playing midweek but you'll sell James regardless.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have 2 FT so I will need to make one transfer. If no midweek updates this will be my transfer

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

    Friends, I hate to be inconvenient, but I really need your help to see (a)  whether this team is WC material

    Meslier / 4.0
    TAA / Shaw / Livramento / Marçal / Omobamidele
    Salah / Jota / Torres / Raphinha / Benrahma
    Antonio / Ronaldo / Obafemi,

    and (b) if it's worth changing for the following:

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA, Dias, Rüdiger (Duffy, Livramento)
    Salah, Raphinha, Benrahma, Sarr (Luiz)
    Lukaku, Antonio, Bamford

    I could hold and sell Shaw/Torres for a hit, but there are other headaches as well e.g. Meslier. What do you reckon?

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

      I would not WC.

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

        Thank you, sir

  11. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Obviously we have to see what unfolds but if Firmino plays for Brazil in the next international break Jota could be worth holding for that Watford fixture.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely.

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

      Firmino not selected for Brazil squad

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oh has the squad been announced already?

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

          Yes it has been

  12. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku and doucoure rising tonight? Could really do without that at this point…

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah he looks the most likely to rise .. over 100% already but it’s never absolutely certain.

  13. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    It's time to WC this lot isn't it...

    TAA Shaw* Veltman* White* Livramento
    Salah Jota* Greenwood* Gray Gilmour*
    Bamford* Ronaldo* Antonio

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't. Shift Greenwood and Bamford

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Watching Greenwood against Villa was so frustrating

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd wildcard rather than keep patching. You can move early then if there are any injuries midweek, make some changes.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I feel too many to patch and waiting till mid week im going to see some big drops with those players as well unfortunately

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think so.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

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

    Better to just sit back for now and not kneejerk any tranfers.

    Injuries to players a racking up as well so I am holding onto my FT for now.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Decent advice tbf

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      yep thats the way to go i think.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Agree, but it's like pissing into the wind getting anyone to listen.

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For sure. Making early moves before midweek games is asking for trouble.

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

    if you had 2 FT would you ronaldo to lukaku tonight for the 0.1?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No. Is 0.1 worth the risk of Lukaku getting injured midweek?

  16. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota ➡ Raphinha for free this gw for me. Gives me -

    Sanchez
    Semedo - Coady - White
    Salah - Greenwood - Benrahma - Sarr - Raphinha
    Ronaldo - Antonio

    Foster - TAA - Livramento - Scarlett

    GTG?

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

      Wait for news on Raphina. He has been taken off early in GW5 and 6 which suggests he is carrying an injury.

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

      Wait until later next week to see if Raphinha fit

    3. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers guys.

      Since there are no price movements, I’ll wait till Friday before making the move.

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'd lose Greenwood before Jota.

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd sell Greenwood over Jota.

  17. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    a) Sell Jota (to ? Son maybe)
    b) Sell Reguilon (to Chelsea defender)

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A is a huge difference in price point. So if u have the dough to spend, do that.

  18. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How does this look? 0.6m itb

    Sanchez
    TAA James Rudiger Cancelo
    Salah Raphina Sarr
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    Foster Gray Sissoko Livramento

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

      James injured.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Then Gray comes in

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        How bad is the injury?

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

          Apparently both his thighs were stapped after coming off.

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

            Sorry, this was Raphina lol. Not sure how bad James is but doubt he will be ready GW7.

      Looks good. Would happily play Gray against United.

    If I don’t have any other fires to put out, is moving Torres out for someone else my best move? Initially wanted to get Lukaku in for Cr7 but I haven’t taken a hit so far this year.

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Marcal
    Salah - Jota - Torres - Gray
    Antonio - Bamford - Cr7

    Bench: Steele - Sissoko - Livra - Williams

      Jota Torres and Bamford are all potential fires.

    Which one player to bench next GW?

    A) Gray
    B) Gallagher
    C) Jota
    D) Dennis

      Dennis

    Bruno topping the stats. Will be tough to get rid of him. Would have to do that to finance a move for Lukaku. Worth it?

    These xG stats are doing me more harm than good at the moment I feel. xG is one of the main (not only) factors behind my decision making but it just doesn't seem to paying off. Typical example today. I had a maximum of 5.6 budget left for my 5th midfielder on my wildcard and the choice came down to 3 mids - Gallagher, Townsend or Dacoure. You can guess which one I went for! Townsend's and particularly Dacoure's key stats were considerably inferior to Gallagher's but of course they still end up getting 10 and 11pts today. I know Gallagher is still to play but it's unlikely he matches those scores. I don't watch much football apart from my own team Liverpool so I'm kind of reliant on the stats over eye test.

      Norwich would make you have a good xG.

        Yes true and I wouldnt have expected Townsend to be on pens either! Mind you, Everton have had good fixtures all season but still those two's xG stats have been low.

      This is such an important post. I see so many pundits comparing players' xG when they've only played 5 matches, and the two players have played 5 different teams. As TM points out, if one player has played Norwich already, then it's going to make them look a better option than otherwise.

      Gallagher has been posting great xG while playing difficult opposition, so he should be a great pick if he can be consistent.

        I know you are right in that the xG comes through over the long term and that anything can happen over small sample sizes due to variance. It's just frustrating going through these periods when your more statistically superior picks are being outpointed by statistically inferior picks which is what has been happening to me for the last couple of weeks.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years

          but you're comparing apples with melons. Most are avoiding Arsenal midfielders based on xG, but they've played Chelsea and City.

          1. gooberman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            Not really. Prior to today, Everton's midfielders despite having good fixtures all season had registered poor xG stats, hence why I opted for Gallagher over them. This is really the point I'm making!

            I agree on your Arsenal point. I even did a video on my youtube channel explaining how xG stats need to be put into perspective and I actually used Arsenal's defensive xG stats as an example, pointing out that the fixtures they had had were possibly the reason for their xGC stats being the worst in the league at the time along with other factors including having a man sent off and their team being under strength etc but that I expected their defensive stats to pick up due to fixture difficulty improving and them being back to full strength.

    Shaw to which CFC defender?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Depends on CL

    2. SMOOTH

      alonso

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Chillwell is back soon, right? Just worried about that even though I know Alonso is a lot more attacking.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Guess Rüdiger safer option

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He’s already back, I think Tuchel just prefers Alonso

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

      Thinking I’ll hold, Shaw could easily haul vs Everton with all their injuries

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Do we think shaw plays v Everton ?

      2. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        nah I'm done with United defenders

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years

        Shaw injured

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

          Hmm, guess we’ll see what the press conference news brings. A lot of flagged players seem to be doing ok lately (Raph, Benny etc)

    Rage!! Benching Raph may cost me manager of the month (70yoyos)

    11 behind instead of 3 with Gallagher to play.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Surely every manager makes mistakes?

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

        Sure do but was convinced he wouldn't play this gw.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Understood, but if you look at other teams near the top and see what little mistakes they've made, then it'll help you deal with the disappointment.

          You basically should have known that he either starts or not. And if he is fit, he isn't going to make a cameo. Therefore there was zero reason to bench him instead of starting.

          I feel sorry for you for your mistake, but do correct me if I am wrong, didn't you get advice here to to start Raphinha?

  25. Big boy Bowen

    A Kane mega haul tomorrow would really set the cat amongst the pigeons!

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He will keep on walking in the middle. Make some nice passes and perhaps score from fk or corner. I am not worried, Jota is more threatening.

    Thoughts on who's the best midfielder under £10m for the next 6 weeks?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Want to say Raphinha, but may have to wait until after the IB. I expect Havertz to play up or near Lukaku in these 'easier' fixtures.

    2. Mozumbus

      Son
      Grealish

      Foden on Watchlist

  27. Dynamic Duos

    Who's your pick these 2 ?

    Benrahma v Sarr?

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

      Benrahma in the better team

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      benrahma 100%

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Benrahma

      Definitely echos my thoughts this

  28. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah - 8.0 - Raphinha - Benrahma - Gilmour

    Thoughts on who to finish this midfield with? Had been thinking Greenwood but Man Utd haven’t been too impressive of late. Sarr could be an outside shout that leaves me some cash to upgrade elsewhere?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Grealish or Foden?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Grealish

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          No hurry though, people are selling and he is going to drop probably.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That Sarr position is the one to have with? Easy to change and gain some pts and tv if lucky.

      1. Baps hunter

        To have fun with...

  29. Paqueta Rice

    Villarreal after holding Madrid who have 21 goals already this season to a nil all draw away from home. Just when United were hoping for things to get easier

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years

      Ole to get the sack by Christmas?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He will manage somehow. Liverpool didn't win today either and Bruno missing a pen wasn't his fault.

    Best mid upto 6.9 for the next few games?
