Learning from ‘The Great and The Good’ FPL managers – Gameweek 6

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

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


“Cause the players gonna play, play, play, and the haters gonna hate, hate, hate.

Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake.

I shake it off, I shake it off”

Another week, another series of injury woes to deal with, as Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) fell victim to the mid-priced striker curse but at least Raphinha (£6.5m) managed to take Taylor Swift’s advice and shake it off.

This was also the week many lost patience in the £7-8m price bracket with several of us selling Ferran Torres (£7.0m) and Jack Grealish (£8.0m), as we saw the emergence of cheaper midfield options like Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m), Conor Gallagher (£5.7m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.2m).

Then there was the captaincy call, surely that was an easy one with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) ready to go, but Dean Smith’s men played the villains at Old Trafford to deliver red arrows for many an FPL manager.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Tom Freeman and Les Caldwell were the chart toppers with 60 points this week, although Tom left it late with Joel Veltman’s (£4.4m) 95th minute assist taking him to the heights of the hit parade.

Les’ strong showing was based on a Wolves double-up and his Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) captaincy; he was in good company as Mark and Magnus were the others to walk like an Egyptian.

Az was a very brave boy putting the armband on Michail Antonio (£7.9m) and it paid off; he is now only two points behind his Blackbox buddy. Could he finally overtake him?

Geoff Dance deserves a mention as he has yet to have a red arrow, although the size of the climbs are getting smaller with a sub 4,000 place jump this time round.

Wildcards are still burning a hole in the majority of The Great and The Good’s pockets, there seems to have been no discernible advantage to those who played early and it’s worth noting that none of the top three of Tom Stephenson, Andy and FPL Matthew have overhauled their squads.

TRANSFERS

Sarr underlines differential potential as Chelsea earn another clean sheet 10

This is a summary of the transfers for this week:

Az – Sarr (Grealish)

LTFPL Andy – Jimenez (Bamford)

Fabio Borges – None

Joe Lepper – Sarr, Armstrong (Bamford, Traore)

Geoff Dance – Gallagher (Torres)

FPL General – Saint-Maximin, Sarr (Bamford, Raphinha)

Les Caldwell – Gallagher (Torres)

Magnus Carlsen – Foster (Gunn)

Mark Sutherns – Alonso (Ayling)

FPL Matthew – Sarr (Greenwood)

Neale Rigg – None

Tom Freeman – Sarr (Gundogan)

Tom Stephenson – Sarr (Torres)

Yavuz Kabuk – Lukaku, Gray (Calvert-Lewin, Grealish)

Zophar – Sarr (Torres)

A blur of activity with Sarr a popular and wise choice if his goal against Newcastle was a sign of returns to come.

Joe and FPL General took hits to bring in the Watford wonder as they also had the Bamford blip to deal with, both made eyebrow raising moves with Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.8m) and Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) trotting onto their respective fantasy fields.

Yavuz’s dealings also caught the eye as he is the first to hit the high rollers with the “threemium” of Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m), Ronaldo and Salah.

I suspect Magnus will be soon going that way with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£9.9m) a placeholder, but I’ve tried and failed before to predict the Grandmaster’s groves.

TEMPLATE

Salah on target as Liverpool assets prosper at Leeds 1

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

Sanchez (12), Steele (8)

Alexander-Arnold (15), Shaw (12), Ayling (7), Livramento (7), Veltman (5)

Salah (15), Raphinha (11), Sarr (9), Jota (9), Benrahma (8)

Antonio (14), Ronaldo (12), Lukaku (4)

You sense bigger change is coming to the template, but for now Sarr and Lukaku were the new entrants replacing Bamford due to injury and Mason Greenwood (£7.7m), who proved expendable despite hitting an impressive eight shots against Villa.

CAPTAIN CALLS

At this early stage, captaincy decisions are proving crucial in the respectability of your rank and Mark Sutherns leads the way with 126 points, which equates to an impressive 21-point average.

Fabio is having an uncharacteristically mediocre start to the armband action sitting on 88 points, his decision to move off his favourite Salah this week proved costly.

The chart below shows that Salah continues to be the popular pick over the season at 54% pick rate, Ronaldo is chipping away at that lead on 22% and I would suspect Lukaku will start to worry the leaders as his dream run of fixtures begins this weekend.

No doubt the heavy hitters have rewarded those who have stuck with the tried and tested in the opening weeks, but Az’s foray into differential choice Antonio shows there is ground to be made up if you look beyond the “threemium”.

CONCLUSION

Jimenez ends goal drought as Arsenal claim convincing north London derby win

An interesting week ahead with fixture swings on the horizon, with Chelsea’s mouth-watering matchups meaning heavy investment in the Tuchel Tombola.

The collapse of the mid-priced market and the rise of the cheaper options of Emile Smith-Rowe (£5.3m), Demarai Gray (£5.8m) and Sarr also means that more might be tempted with the three heavy hitter option as this becomes more manageable as we look to balance the books and unbalance our squad structure.

Plenty of options ahead, plenty of ways to play the game and catch those greens but remember if you do have a bad week then just shake it off as a good one can be just be around the corner.

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

    Jota and Ayling to Raphinha and Rudiger for a hit?

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seems ok

  2. Arteta

    What a win. What a performance. Passion, spirit, desire, fight, support. Best 34 minutes in Arteta's era without a doubt.

    1. Arteta

      Didn't have much time for FFS lately but you gotta praise the boys when they fully deserve it!

    2. It’s A Joke

      Have ended up in an old forum? I’m sure Arsenal won a few days ago.

    3. Gunneryank

      Yeah it was lovely to see. I've watched the 1st half over again a few times. Can't bring myself to erase it from the DVR! The urgent transition play from defense to attack is what stood out to me. They were genuinely enjoying their football.

    4. It’s A Joke

      Ah, I see, you boys are reminiscing. Fair enough. I think it was a great win for you but Spurs have become very rubbish. Basically, don’t get too carried away, but you’re right, you have improved.

      1. Gunneryank

        Oh we know!

      Loved every bit of it. My average three beers per game turned into seven! So good to see the kids turning up. Tomiyasu looks like such a great buy. White was super composed and calm. Xhaka for a change did not lose his cool. And Auba looked like a wanted to play again.

      It's the team spirit aspect of it that gets me going. Watching players applauding each other and encouraging one another tells me there's a strong unit there and good things can flow from that. Long may it last.

    MAN CITY TEAM v PSG (El Cashico)
    Starting XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Grealish, Sterling.
    Subs: Steffen, Carson, Stones, Ake, Jesus, Torres, Fernandinho, Foden, McAtee, Wilson-Esbrand.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Grealish the most important player for Pep along with KDB and Dias.

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

        I remember saying this in the summer on here and no one agreed.

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

      Wow Torres keeps getting stuffed.

  4. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Trent not in the squad

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

    Trent groin problem.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Plane problem? Cant sit?

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

        Sore groin, get through City & rest during the IB...

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yep

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

      Ah

  6. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Jesus benching in UCL good from an FPL perspective? Also Walker continuing to collect good minutes…

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      And Laporte also

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely, I think I slightly like Walker better due to less competition for the spot but if Laporte continues to keep these minutes up he’ll make a real case for himself

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He looks so dangerous on corners,5.6 mil I think

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I have heard that he has looked dangerous at corners as well actually. He’s actually dropped to 5.5 now so the same price as Walker, plus he’s the lowest owned of the back 4 starting today so definitely very intriguing

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I wanted go with Laporte on gmwk 8 WC,but I think that you are right about Walker/Cancelo,they dont have competition atm

              1. Thomas Magnum
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                That’s what draws me back to Walker, on my drafts I basically have 2 choices as I want a City defensive double up. Go with Ederson & Dias/Cancelo in a 3atb or Cancelo & Dias (or Walker with .6 extra) in a 4atb with a 4.5 keeper

                1. CRO KLOPP
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Yes,will think about it of course

                  1. CRO KLOPP
                    • 6 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    I will have full playing bench,and either starts or stays on the bench

            2. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Will be interesting to see if he starts vs Liverpool.

              1. CRO KLOPP
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I think he will,but Pep could rest him in some easy fixture

                1. Holmes
                  • 10 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  With Livramento and Duffy available as our 5th defenders, I think we do have a luxury to go for certain players who may start 3 out of 4 games.

                  Dias/Cancelo/Rudiger are obviously superior options but if not affordable, I wouldn't mind picking Walker/Laporte/Christensen.

                  1. CRO KLOPP
                    • 6 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    Yes,I agree,depends on the rest of your defence

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

      Good for Liverpool but there might be more Brazilian issues after the IB.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That’s my worry on gw8 WC, I want Jesus as a City attacker and possibly a placeholder for DCL when he’s fit. But I’ll also want Raphinha, so it’ll be a headache if things go badly with the governing bodies

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

    Going Dzeko over Haller as a punt not working too well so far

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Missed a sitter

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

      I had planned Depay > Haller but had to pivot with the Haaland & Reus injury concerns (and TAA).

      Bellingham & Lewandowski in - so hoping for something fun out of that. Going for a sneaky Bellingham (c) today too.

  8. ClassiX

    Liverpool Team
    Alisson, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Jones, Henderson(c), Mane, Salah, Jota
    Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Konate, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Oxlaide, Minamino, Tsimikas, Origi, Phillips, Williams

    1. CRO KLOPP

      I really miss Tsimikas,those were the days

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        Very harsh he doesn't start tonight.

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Tbf,he always looks tired 🙂

          1. Gunneryank
            • 2 Years

            You mean he looks like he was ripping bongs!

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years

              Haha this

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

      Benching/selling Jota this week I think

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

        Woah, where is Trent

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

          Can see jota benched at weekend...

          Think taa didn't travel as he hasn't had a jab

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

            Plenty of footballers wouldn't be traveling it was due to the jab...

        2. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Groin injury

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

          At home. Didn't travel.

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have 0.5 ITB and 1 FT. Roll the transfer?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Marcal White
    Salah Raph Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Steele Livra Gilmour Mendy

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

      Yes, brilliant team

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

      I can't find much fault with this, except maybe Saka or ESR for Gallagher.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I agree. Should have gone for ESR with my FT last week. Chose Gallagher instead. Was the right call I think at that time.

  10. Champione
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Keep long term:
    A) Gallagher
    B) Gray

    Leaning towards B due to the former’s lack of bonus and doubts over set pieces

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

      I trust Everton long-term over Palace as far as quality goes too.

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like both, but if I chose one it would be Gray for sure, Milo seems to take set pieces last night I saw too which dents Gallagher’s appeal slightly too, both both good options I think

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

      Wasn’t he only off set pieces because Milivojevic was playing? He doesn’t start every week I thought.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ah not sure mate

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Plus a card magnate. Was so frustrating to watch his 6 points turn into 4 last night.

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

        Luckily he didn’t get his second yellow..

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Could have easily got it.

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

        Woosh, just noticed he had 11 yellow cards last season as well... Didn’t check that when picking on Wildcard. Hope he plays as a 10 in the next 2 home games or it’s prob best to get rid.

    That PSG team...

    Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes ; Verratti, Gueye, Herrera; Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years

      That PSG bench

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      It's possible to have too many stars if they don't gel smoothly, it seems

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I like the approach though. The Liverpool method of 3 hard-working CMs to compensate for having two offensive fullbacks.

        It then gives Messi, Neymar & Mbappe freedom to roam centrally without having to worry about holding the width.

        I'm sure it will work in time. Strong bench too as Cro Klopp says...

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

          Yeah. I love Poch and wish him the best here, but it might take a few weeks or months for the puzzle pieces to fall into place

          Or maybe it'll happen today, against one of the best teams on the planet. Could be a statement win if they somehow run riot

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Some great players but it has yet to be determined are they are a great team?

    Sore groin for Trent. Frisky

    Waiting for Klopp's next speech

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

      Might be coy as its City, doubt he'd rule him out anyway to keep Pep guessing.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Might be further update after the game perhaps

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

      Maybe Trent had a wild night out on Merseyside with the lads?

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

        A sore groin is not what you want when Grealish is giving you the ol' twist 'n' shake.

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

          LOL. Lot of ways to interpret this.

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

    De Gea and Zaha to Raphinha and Ramsdale? Or just Zaha to Raphinha and roll ft.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you drop Zaha? It's time to get him in.

  15. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why is Trent unflagged?

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be flagged any minute now

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

      Word of a groin problem only broke. They might wait for Klopps pre-game words to determine the colour of the flag. Expect 75%.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, I think we have to draw a line under him and move on.

        Perhaps revisit in GW14 if things have improved.

          Meant for your Shaw comment below... 😆

    3. winchester
      • 3 Years

      no chance that tsimikas will play instead of trent?

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

        Nah, Neco is just about fit again. Then there's ol' Milner.

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          If I'm selling taa it would be for a Chelsea, already own rudiger, looks like azpi safest? Have to think Chilwell plays v Soton? Or is christansen best value?

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

            See who plays and who emerges unbroken tomorrow.

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

    I have Williams and Livra.

    Who would you play this weekend if Trent is out?

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

    Argh, made the wrong call with Shaw. Thought he would be out at least two weeks and drop in price already...

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

      Is he available for Saturday?

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

        Has a chance for tomorrow so you would guess he has even bigger chance to be available for Saturday

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

      He'll drop in price and blank at best on Saturday. Him out is the long term move, don't look back with worry.

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

        I'm going to wildcard in GW8 so would have played him instead of Ayling or Digne

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

        Yup. And they'll be without Maguire. Easy sell

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

        Shaw assist + clean sheet written in the stars as people offload for Rudi 2 pointer

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

          100%

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I moved him out two nights ago, sounds like they will be without Maguire so thats a big loss for them, I doubt they keep a clean sheet Saturday so not too worried if he starts now or not, Chelsea ‘should’ be a clean sheet anyway if you bring Rudiger or Alonso in for him like I did(brought both in)

  18. winchester

    Hello lads, have 1ft and 2.1m itb. use WC now or gw8?

    sanchez
    taa shaw* livramento
    benrahma salah greenwood sarr
    cr7 antonio asm

    foster esr tsimi amartey

    a) tsimi/ama -> rudiger
    b) tsimi/ama -> alonso
    c) use WC

    1) bench esr
    2) bench benrahma
    3) bench greenwood

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

      a1 for me.

      Brighton defense may blunt ESR's production. But you could say the same about Benrahma i suppose.

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

        cheers man. tsimi or amartey?

  19. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2ft and 2m itb. Don't think I can resist doing
    Dennis, Jota, TAA > Lukaku, ESR, Christensen

    Sanchez Steele
    Shaw Digne TAA White Livra
    Gray Salah Jota Benny Kovacic
    Dennis Ronaldo Antonio

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

      I wouldn't be removing Trent. Why not ship Shaw or Digne? United and Everton defense aren't very impressive.

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

      Christensen probably the worst option to replace TAA with.

  20. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Trent to Mee for a one week punt? How are Norwich at defending set pieces?

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

      Those funds could be much better spent for a 1 week punt reckon.

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

      I mean...it's Norwich. Why would you do that to yourself?

  21. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Firmino lurking

  22. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota benched at weekend do we think?

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

      For a rest i could see it. Depends on if Klopp wants to throw on Bobby for the CL and how he responds.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Probably gets minutes tonight

        Shares 1/2 the game at the weekend

        Starts vs city

  23. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I have TAA, Torres, Shaw, Ayling, Jota, Greenwood.
    Worried that half of them doesnt even start this weekend.

    Have 1 FT.
    Would you activate WC? If no, who have to go?

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

    Trent possibly 3 weeks out... Early doors but reliable for Liverpool news.

    https://twitter.com/TheKopHQ/status/1442914398490685440?s=19

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

      City and a fortnight break. Not so shabby.

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

      Ooof. That would be no good.

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

      Klopp on Trent AA: "He's out for today and it doesn't look great for the (Man) City game either."

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

        That's Duffy vs Arsenal over Trent vs City for me. I'll take it

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

          Might be a blessing in disguise!

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

            Exactly. I'm so glad it's short term. Some groin massage for three weeks and he bangs Watford

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

          Seagulls probably concede to Gunners too though, don't you think?

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

            Yes, but have you seen Duffy's goal threat? If he was 5.0 or 5.5, he'd be a starter for many FPL teams atm except in the worst fixtures... Probably including mine

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

              Oh totally. He could score on Arsenal for sure. I would say the same for Trent vs City except for the news that Trent might be on the sidelines for City also.

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

                Yeah. That's why I'll take it 🙂

    4. RogDog_jimmy

      wow - on my WC this week - this answers one of my big questions...no TAA it is.

  25. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Trent out is annoying!

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

      With Bamford on my bench and the one game I don't want to start Livramento.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’m hoping Bamford is back! But even so it’s forcing my hand for another transfer!

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

      On my bench unless it's a longer term issue.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        For sure, I particularly with the intl break coming

  26. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    TAA, Greenwood, 4.5 fw to Alonso, ESR, Antonio (-4) yay or nay?

  27. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you WC this or wait a week?

    Sanchez* - Steele
    TAA*- Shaw* - White - Ayling* - Livramento
    Salah - Jota* - Torres* - Benrahma - Greenwood*
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Scarlett

    Trent being out makes me almost hitting WC Button..

    Activating WC during IB could be better anyway.

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

      Also Jota starting now, so probably Firmino start weekend. Cant see Torres starting too.

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

      You would want TAA on WC anyway

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

        But Im really worried that cant get 11 players out this week..

  28. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like Livramento vs Chelsea on the menu

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

      I need to choose between Livra and Williams.

      Think I may go Williams lol

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

        That backfired on me when Livarmento was @ City and Williams was home to Watford. Double or nothing?

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

      Yup, maybe they'll get a goalless draw.

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

    Rüdiger in for TAA?

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

    TAA flagged. 75% chance of playing.
