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and score in Leeds United’s 2-1 loss to West Ham United but, after overcoming a blow to the head in the first half, was withdrawn midway through the second period – and pictured with ice on his legs on the hosts’ bench.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.

    Considering price changes, Ronaldo & Shaw --> Lukaku, Cancelo (already have Rudiger) for -4 could be worth it?

    1. AD2110
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just did those moves too

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

      Maybe. Don't really like taking hits. If you can get em in after price changes, maybe just do 1 for now?

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      No reason to get rid of Ronaldo yet. Wait untill gw 9 and see

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

      No

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years

      Do the 2 moves excluding Jota

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I sold ben for Raph last week regret it abit. It's Not a or greenwood has to go I thought keep greenwood for some United cover eveb tho rather keep Jota

        1. Ange Ball
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Jota or Greenwood

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just do the first and last transfer

  5. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you wildcard to do the following?

    Sanchez -> Ramsdale
    Ayling -> Cancelo
    White -> Rudiger
    Shaw -> Dias
    Barnes -> Raphinha
    Jota -> Sarr
    Wood -> Armstrong
    Ronaldo -> Lukaku

    Keeping TAA, Livramento, Benrahma, Salah Antonio..

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

      No I wouldn't rush into that. Just sell Shaw for a defender. The rest can be kept for another week easy.

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

      Yes

    3. syke63
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone looks an upgrade

    4. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like it

    5. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I probably wouldn't, largely because I'd want to keep Wood for Norwich (which I assume is a large reason you've got him). And Barnes/Ronaldo could have decent fixtures and double City defense doesn't (although they could of course keep a clean sheet anyway)

  6. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo shaw -4 to alonso/rudiger lukaku
    (Or)
    Greenwood shaw -4 to raphinha alonso/rudiger

    (Wont make moves now anyway)

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

      Latter

    2. Maeki2

      greenw shaw

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

    I’ve moved early. Going to stick to my planned moves of:

    Greenwood > ESR
    Antonio > Lukaku

    Sanchez
    TAA • Tierney • Marcal • Semedo
    Salah • Sarr • ESR • Traore
    Ronaldo • Lukaku

    Steer, Jota, Livramento, Gelhardt
    0.0 ITB

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy to sell Antonio IMO
      Best value player in the game arguably

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

        Yes noone is better

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

          Craig?

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

        Yes, it’s a gamble. Take a look at his fixtures though.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Not that bad?

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          All scorable I would say?
          Ronaldo at 5m more who you are keeping arguably has a tougher run
          Good luck anyway, it's brave 🙂

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

            It was a tough call and it could easily backfire. I’m gambling on Ronaldo being given pens and to tick over. I wasn’t prepared to sell him for Lukaku, essentially.

            There a vacuum at the 6.5m+ price so I’m playing it aggressive.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traoré has to your weakest link atm. Get Raphina

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

        I still like his fixtures and the 6m price point.

        Am eyeing up Jota > Raphinha after IB to free up 1m for a Chelsea defender.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Good player but his last touch is awful. Horrible FPL asset imo

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

            Would definitely not buy now but with Southampton and Newcastle up next, I quite like that he’s out of favour.

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

          Hakebóff is spot ó, can't figure out how to make the I like that? I think you're more a fixtures over form man TS. Traore has done nothing for 5 games and Wolves look poor. The fixtures don't look bad for results for them but Traore unlikely to bring returns. Antonio is ripping it up. His confidence alone will bring him returns in tricker fixtures for Hammers to get results in.

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

            Yes, I’m definitely fixture led.

            Antonio hauled in the fixtures I expected (or hoped) he’d haul in. Moyes is a defence first manager let’s not forget and Antonio scored in the 90 minute today against a poor Leeds defence.

            I’m expecting Antonio to do well, just not as well. Particularly with the Europa league schedule too.

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

      Who's the early armband on?

      Hope you got them Tierney points last GW 😉

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

        I did! Thanks for the advice 🙂

        Lukaku. Chelsea to bounce back.

  8. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Double up on Chelsea defence worth it?

    Have Rudiger, considering

    Mendy
    Alonso
    Azpi.

    Who would you choose?

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

      Azpi.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso

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

    Pick one:

    1. Sarr
    2. Benrahma

    A. Alonso
    B. Rudiger

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

      2B or not 2B.

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Marcal White (Livramento *Amartey)
    Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma (Brownhill)
    CR7 *Bamford Antonio
    *** = Problem players

    2 FT, 0.8 itb. I was thinking to WC this week or next, but doesn't really look that necessary? I think it would only be needed if I want CR7 + Lukaku.

    What to do? At the moment I could do CR7 + Amartey --> Lukaku + Chels def. Good moves? If so which Chelsea defender? Was thinking Christensen to save funds

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would wc that lot

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Why?

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Capitalize on fixture swing and get Cancelo, Chelsea defenders and Lukaku. Jota and Greenwood not nailed.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure why people think a wc should only be used to fix a broken team. I use it when I can see several improvements (usually doing fixture swings)

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              During*

    2. dark91
      • 8 Years

      Definitely no need to WC. 2 FTs should fix your team

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years

        What moves?

  11. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    2FT. Which 2 to sell?
    A. Shaw > Rud
    B. Greenwood > Raph/Sarr
    C. Jota > Raph/Sarr
    D. Ronaldo > Lukaku
    E. Sell 3 of them for -4

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A B and C look nice

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A and prolly C (assuming Firmino is still first choice). Go for Raph

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

      A, C, B, D preference this GW.

      Greenwood minutes midweek will be helpful to know.

  12. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any early ideas for this lot? Going against City with 3 Liverpool isn't very appealing, but I also want to get some chelsea in

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Dier (Livra Coady)
    Salah Jota Raph Sarr (McArthur)
    CR7 Antonio ASM

    (1ft 1.7m itb)

    A) CR7, Shaw -> Lukaku, Alonso/Rudiger (-4)
    B) Shaw -> Alonso/Rudiger
    C) Jota, Shaw -> Benny/Gray/Gallagher, Alonso/Rudiger (-4)

    Anyone close to wildcarding now but trying to hold firm till GW8?

    Can get Chelsea defender in easily but then no Lukaku. Or Salah out for a week to fund Kaku then back on WC...

    Would captain Ronaldo over the other big two this GW regardless!

    Headaches!

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

      The Salah hokey cokey not a good idea. Man is on fire and could hurt you even though it is City.

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

        He would if I sold, just to make his misses today even more painful 🙁

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would Captain Ronaldo as well this if I had. But got rid on a WC

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

        One of the big two games dodged, right long term move I believe!

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep same boat!

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

        Not sure if that's a good or bad sign 😉

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😀
          Lukaku is the tricky one. I want him but don't really like the idea of selling Ronaldo to fund him, from memory Man Utd bounced back with 3+ goals several times from rubbish results last season.

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

            Agree. Oh Ronaldo is definitely not the makeweight this GW.

            Hopefully Juve away takes more out of Chelsea than Villareal at home but I wouldn't be so sure...

    4. Veron125
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wait till week 8
      It’s international games
      You don’t know injuries/ COVID/ isolate etc

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

        Think the red countries issue might be eased this time when the players do travel.

        Forgot the 3 fixtures in SA, Brazil play Uruguay 36 hours before the GW kicks off which is great... Hopefully Prem players are released home before that game.

  14. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just realised I will have 5 players in the City vs Liverpool game

    Is it still worth keeping Jota now that Firmino is back? (Already have Salah)

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

      Like him but i guess we could find value somewhere else

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes Raphinha is very tempting if not seriously injited3

  15. hotine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which do you feel is the best option?

    1) Benrahma, gray, Sarr
    2) Townsend, raph, Sarr
    3) Jovatic, raph, benrahma

    I’d like to keep them for at least 3 weeks minimum

      Not possible to have
      Benrahma, Raphinha, and Sarr?

        Unfortunately not. Got funds tied up everywhere

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

      3, though maybe fodder instead of Kovacic or get extra 0. 1m for Smith Rowe.

    If u Have
    Vardy - Antonio - CR7

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      Yes in for Ronaldo but not this week

      I don't think you need to rush him in. I honestly think there is too much hype for him. He's not exactly ripping up tree's in his last two games. They have Southampton next who for some reason people on here think they only need to turn up Chelsea to win. It's going to be a hard game after playing in the champions league. Southampton press like Man City. they should of beat Man Utd and could have won a man city.

        You mean against Spurs and City... Silly comment.

    61 points so far 🙂 sitting near top 100k players, took a break for almost 2 seasons and got my love for FPL back.

    I feel like i am even more patient than i was before and its certainly paying off (aside from squad value heh)

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well done.

      Things always seem better after a break.

  18. Norco
    • 9 Years

    Best pick moving forward:

    1. Raphinha
    2. Benrahma
    3. Sarr

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

    2. dark91

      I would put them in the same order in terms of importance

  19. mgilbert86

    Im considering ederson, have i lost it?

    Seems like he could just supply 6 points each week

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

      Not next week thiugh

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With Dias and Cancelo looking nailed Ederson is a silly option.

  20. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Norwich the only team that has given up early

    Everybody else is fighting in every game for every point. Attacking AND defending

    Games are being decided in phases and moments, rather than on paper. Lovely stuff

    Not great for FPL without our usual ≈ 5 whipping boys (spreading out captaincy options every week), but really entertaining

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

    Battle for cap will be between Lukaku and Ronaldo for GW7, correct?

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

      Dont forget Antonio.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I see reasons why every member of my team could blank, except maybe Rudiger. Not fun

      But yeah, those two should lead the polls

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio for me. Lukaku VC. Possibly Son.

    Other than CHE, do you see a CS anywhere in GW 7?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Burnley maybe

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

        Maybe being the operative word...yes, maybe best chance but do I want a BUR defender? Another strange week coming up.
        Thanks mate

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😀
          Yep, tricky one for clean sheets next week for sure!

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

      Wolves v a free scoring Newcastle?

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs, Leicester, Wolves.

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

        Very much doubt it.

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

          Why did you ask the question?

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft? Probably hitting the trigger this week but just playing around as I have a few issues starting to build up (Ayling, Shaw, Greenwood):

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Alonso Rudiger
    Salah Sarr Gallagher Gray
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Foster Douglas Luiz Livramento Williams

    No TAA is the big one as well whether the midfield is too budget.

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

      Tbh looks great. Do it

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

      hm... gonna be hard not to own Raphinina and Benrhama aswell as TAA

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How does the balance look without Ronaldo or Lukaku?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Better, but more benching headaches. I just think Ronaldo will get a lot of chances regardless of the fixtures and I know my ML opponents will still have him and probably captain him next week. TAA is the tricky one though.

        Tweaked draft is switching Gray for Raphinha and Rudiger for Christensen if James is out for a while.

    4. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Alonso has at least a few games left in him but eventually Chilwell should be back in. I think a good pick still. I wouldn't pick any team without Trent still. Rest of it looks really good; not very flexible with price points but right now the mid priced mids are all crap for one reason or another.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, good points 🙂

  24. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Are Laporte and Walker nailed?

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

      Sure they play for Pep Guardiola 😉

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

      Aké swaps with laporte and then we have stones/zincheko that could eat time from walker

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

      Nope but in 1st choice back 4 until Stones is fully up to speed at least.

      Only 3 full backs helps Walkers cause but Cancelo is worth the 0.5/6m more. He's prone to the odd HT resting too.

  25. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    James to cancelo before price rise?

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

      Yes

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

      Is James definitely out for long time?

  26. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Trent + Ayling to. Alonso + Cancelo (-4) 0.2 itb
    Done feels great !!
    Guaita
    Cancelo Duffy Alonso
    Salah Pogba Docoure Gallagher
    Cr7 Lukaku Antonio
    (( Sissoko. Livra. Amartey )

  27. IL Fantasista
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi everyone! Im struggling to choose the best issue to sort out first. Do you reckon a hit would improve? 1FT ; 0,4ITB ; No WC

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Shaw - White
    Salah - Jota - Torres - Traore
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Bamford
    Elliot - Allan - Livramento - Williams

    All thoughts appreciated

  28. steven8991
    • 8 Years

    Anyone fancy G.Jesus on WC?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      dont fancy any city mids/forwards

      just cancelo/dias

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not at all...

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

      I'm getting him gwk8, but yeah I like the pic, City score so many goals, just ride the waves and he will get you hauls

    4. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He feels like the player I'll ignore all season because of rotation fear/playing reverse out of position, but will constantly produce points. I think he's a good pick.

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

    Who do you think will score more against City:

    a) TAA

    b) Salah

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

      B

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'll say Trent. I don't have super high expectations for either though.

  30. jamichael
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres to:
    Zaha or Raphinha?

    TAA to:
    Matip and upgrade 4.5 to Cancelo. Yes?

    Thanks

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

      Raphina.

      No way Pedro. 🙂
