The best budget players to enable the premium FPL triple-up: The Scout Network

Chelsea’s upcoming fixture swing has put many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers in a quandary in terms of how to budget for Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m), especially if they want to keep hold of both Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.6m).

We asked the Scout Network for their best budget enablers to allow FPL managers the funds to own more than two premium players.

The best FPL midfielders for a Gameweek 7 Wildcard 11

If I was Wildcarding right now and moving to 3-4-3, or going with all four of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m), Mohamed Salah (£12.6m), Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) and Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m), Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) would be my cheap enabler. He’s just £4.5m currently, and has bagged two assists in the last two Gameweeks. He also seems fairly nailed in the Aston Villa side, only missing out in Gameweek 1 thanks to his involvement at the Olympic Games. At his price, you’d be happy to see him pick up a return or two in his next seven fixtures, something that looks possible given his recent underlying numbers. There’s even a sneaky potential of a clean sheet point, with three in the bag already, and a Martinez full of confidence in goal.

FPL Nymfria

No-one is essential in FPL, except maybe that £4.5m midfielder spot you will probably always have to select in your squad. During Gameweek 6, Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) took left-sided corner duties at Old Trafford and was also on direct free-kicks. We also know from last year that he can score from outside of the box every now and then and the whole package makes him the best £4.5m midfield pick, in our opinion.

Brentford impress as Arsenal devoid of ideas without attacking stars 1

Arsenal have turned their fortunes around with three straight wins and look to have the momentum to carry on their form. Their next five fixtures (bha, CRY, AVL, lei, WAT) seem okay and they can possibly keep three or even four clean sheets in those games, so Ben White (£4.4m) could be a great option. White is now nailed-on in the Arsenal backline and is an absolute enabler at his price.

Three premiums is a big temptation these days and as many managers are about to activate the Wildcard, we need to look into potential cheap assets to compensate in our teams. The first budget enabler comes from the defence and surprise packages Brighton, who would have been top of the table had they beaten Crystal Palace on Monday. Shane Duffy (£4.3m) is their best FPL defender because of the opportunities he is getting in attack: so far this season he has managed 11 shots. He has adapted his game to fit his role and is the best sub-£4.5m defender you can buy.

Sarr underlines differential potential as Chelsea earn another clean sheet 3

If you are going for three premiums, you must think about your targeted preferred system. Personally, I am always betting for the big hauls so I am very reluctant to give up the 3-4-3. So, taking the assumption that you have Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) and Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) in the first two spots, you need a low-price forward alongside them. The cheapest viable option is Emmanuel Dennis (£5.3m). The negatives are that he is not on penalties, Watford rarely score 3-4 goals in a game and he is a possible rotation risk. However, he is a very explosive player, extremely fit, and has a potential to be a real ‘banger’. The uncertainty over his performances is what makes him exciting.

FPL Froggies
Is £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster the new Watford number one? 2

Trawling through the budget options this season is like rummaging through the pick ‘n’ mix aisle at Woolworths (ask your parents, kids)! There are loads of good options to be had but to try and tempt you with something a little different, then have a gander at Teemu Pukki (£5.9m). Now I know the Norfolk surroundings might put you off as, let’s face it, Norwich look like a team doomed for the drop but Pukki has already has two goals to his name in the midst of a pretty difficult set of fixtures. He has also had 11 shots in the box so far this season and is set for a lovely run of matches that the Canaries will need to do well in if they have any hope of survival. Prepare yourself for the Pukki Power gif!

Armstrong a differential for Gameweek 6 and beyond as Saints’ fixtures improve

If you are looking for bargain strikers, you could do a lot worse than Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) at Southampton. The striker scored 28 goals in 40 appearances for Blackburn in the Championship last season and even if the step up to the big stage should dampen his output considerably, his 28 penalty area touches and 19 shots so far indicate he is at the very least a threat. With fixtures looking considerably rosier starting in Gameweek 8 and stretching all the way up to Christmas, Armstrong could be a great enabler as long as expectations are managed. 

Meltens

Admittedly, Southampton don’t exactly look like a creative powerhouse
but Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) has had 19 shots in the first six games, with 12 of those inside the box. After Chelsea, they also have a field of green for the former Blackburn man to plunder with home games against Leeds, Burnley and also nice fixtures against Watford and Norwich, who have hardly look secure at the back. A is for Armstrong, B is for Budget enabler and C is my Confidence he will do well!

Greyhead

Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) from Brentford has managed 19 points so far this season and has created four big chances. He is playing out of position and his creation rate and good understanding with Toney makes him a great option at a cheap price.

Bendito Fantasy

Goal conversion rate is a tricky stat: a low number could indicate low quality chances/shots, or it could indicate a player being a bit unlucky and about to deliver more goals going forward. Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) has a goal conversion rate of just 7.7% from his 13 goal attempts, with accuracy being the big issue so far. With an xG of 2.41 (having scored just one goal), Mbeumo’s prospects as an ‘out of position’ midfielder playing as a striker for Brentford looks great going forward.

Meltens
Wilson injury latest as Ronaldo and Lukaku score twice 4

There is a lot of hype around Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) and Chelsea defenders but Mateo Kovacic (£5.2m) could be an excellent enabler, especially with N’Golo Kante (£4.9m) out with Covid. He has also improved trememdously on his attacking stats, scoring once and providing three assists to date. That has already equalled his best attacking return in his Chelsea career. The Blues’ next five games are very winnable and Kovacic makes a great enabler if you have not already tripled up on Chelsea players.

          No. Like the Vardy pick. 3 Burnley too much. Wouldn’t have Bruno now

          1. Professional07
            • 2 Years

            I m confident Burnley will do well against Norwich.
            Should I do replace Bruno with Ben nd wood with Ron?

    3. farmerfat

      This makes me feel a little sick .

      1. Professional07
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My team makes you feel sick
        Or the transfer above which I suggested

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

      Nice team. I’d look to get rid of Bruno personally, poor fixtures on the way for United. If you have to have ronaldo then turn Bruno into him.

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

    No mention of Josh King whatsoever??? 3 assists in his last 2, and had the winner dissalowed with a tight offside decision. 5.5 and starting up top, potentially on penalties aswell. He’s better value than Dennis. I know fixtures do turn but he’s perfect 3rd striker if you plan to go 4-4-2.

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

      id rather prefer likes of Gallagher Mbuemo ESR Doucoure/Gray at similar price range in midfeild

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

      A street or a Scarlett at 4.5 is a perfect 3rd striker in a 4-4-2 imo..with a livra 5th defender and a 4.5 playing mid as the 5th midfielder

  3. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    TAA to azpi worth a hit?
    or play duffy (ARS)

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

      Play Duffy

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Duffman!

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

      Duffy

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

    Which of these?

    A - Sa, Azpi starting - Douglas Luiz bench (4-3-3)

    B - Mendy, Saka starting - Williams bench (3-4-3)

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

      (Picks on WC btw)

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

      A for me

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

      Mendy rotation risk sometimes, so A

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

    Looking at Shaw + Williams > Azpi + Rudiger -4. If Shaw doesnt play and Williams blanks which are both looking likely. Even a Chelsea blank means i’d only be down 0-2 points. Surely a hit for 2 Chelsea defenders is worth it with the best possible chance of returns? Cannot stomach playing Brandon Williams.

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

    Do you reckon James will be back after the IB, based on Tuchels comments about pain management?

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

      stay clear of chelsea fullbacks. rotation mine field ahead

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

        Who would be your 2nd Chelsea def after Rudi?

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

          Alonso

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

          Christensen. has been starting regularly since tuchel arrived.

        3. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Azpi

  7. g40steve

    Did we all get the email from FPL about passwords?

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

      Yes i can confirm

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

      Yes

    3. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years

      Yes

    4. Gunners in Haaland

      Yes

    5. ASL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Yes anyone know of any data breach from 3rd party websites?

  8. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any thoughts on this wildcard?

    Ederson Foster
    TAA Cancelo Azpi Rudiger Livra
    Salah Raph Sarr Saka Benrahma
    Antonio Lukaku 4.5

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

      Looks good to me except Sarr fixtures turn quite bad. Though I assume you'll be playing 4-4-2 anyway?

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

        Yeah 4-4-2 most weeks and rotating the cheap mids

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

      Benching nightmare

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

        Cover for Trent injury, Cancelo rotation, Sarr bad fixtures?

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

        Don't think so. I'm happy to have a decent mid as the first guy on the bench if everyone is fit

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks v good, v similar to mine except my 4.5 is in mod and I have Toney. I am starting to think Azpi over Alonso too...

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

        Thanks! I'm still considering Christensen over Azpi

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

          My latest tweak is:

          Ederson Foster
          TAA Dias Rudi Chris Liv
          Salah Raph Benr Saka Luiz
          Lukaku Toney Antonio

          What do u think?

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

            It's good. Not sure about Toney. I would consider Armstrong or Mbeumo over him

    4. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good, I was on very similar but worried about benching issues. Maybe Ramsdale and playing striker (I don't like Wc'ing to a player that's not going to play)? Happy holding TAA?

      Ramsdale | Foster
      Dias | Alonso | Rudiger | Cancelo | Livramento
      Salah | Raphinha | Sarr | Saka | Benrahma
      Lukaku | Antonio | Jimenez

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

        TAA is essential for me and I think it's likely that he plays against Watford. Jimenez didn't really pass the eye test imo. Also I'm worried that Ramsdale isn't as nailed as people think.

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It will be interesting to see if we get any further updates on TAA, if he is just missing the City game, I expect him to at least miss the Watford game too. I thought Jime looked good, took his goal really well. Ramsdale, well it's his spot to lose, can switch to Guaita down the line if necessary, and less of a risk with Foster currently number 1 at Watford.

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

            Even if he misses Watford you will still want him back shortly after and it will cost 2 transfers to do so. Jimenez had just 2 shots in the match but yes it was a clean finnish

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

    Anything on Shaw?

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

      If he has any chance for the weekend, I reckon he would have been atleast on the bench yesterday. And Telles has scored n looked alright so Shaw may not be risked if not fully fit.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Telles came off injured

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I don’t agree with that, why would he be on the bench even if he’s 80%, realistically he’s not going to be a player you throw on to change the game, could well have been left out so he can be fit for the weekend

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

      Apparently much more chances than TAA.

  10. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do you reckon it is relatively safe to do Traore to Saka now that the European games are done?

    Il be priced out if he goes up tonight

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, although the European games are not done, there's a few today

      1. Ci Siamo
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        good point, I will just double check that Antonio doesn't get injured first!

  11. Calum Undisputed
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Guaita
    Semedo Rudiger Pereira/Duffy
    Salah Sarr Gallagher/Townsend
    Lukaku Antonio Vardy

    Foster TAA Mendy

    Who shud be 1st sub? Pereira, Duffy, Gallagher, Townsend ?
    343 433 ?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Duffy

  12. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Telles > Shaw

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

      UTD defence is gash.

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

    Thoughts on this.

    3 at the back having two nailed attacking defenders, TAA and Cancelo and then rotating between Livra and Duffy (they rotate extremely well) with cheap Williams rotting on the bench?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo will be rotated from time to time so I’d prefer to have a white or someone like that instead of Williams

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

      Would be nice with say Mendy in goal or something

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

      Dias instead of Cancelo if youre looking for nailed.

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

    Do you think Alonso will keep his place this week after being subbed off at h/t last night? I have Christensen. Hard to overlook at 5.0.

    Who would you buy: Cancelo or another CHS defender? Which CHS defender?

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

      Cancelo after GW7.

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

      I think Alonso starts the weekend. He wasn’t great but Chilwell wasn’t any better when he came on.

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

        Agreed. He was booked as well which might have been another reason.

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

        Fact is, Chilwell needs minutes.

        Alonso whether he had a yellow or not, it is not good for any player to be hooked at half time unless they picked up a knock etc.

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

          Chilwell was less threatening than Alonso in the second half.

          Suspect the games vs Malmö and Southampton in the League Cup after the international break will be used to give Chilwell more starts/minutes.

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

            For a player like Chilwell being out that long clearly needs games to get up to speed. Look at Jimenez.

            Chilwell was on corners straight away as well.

            We will have to see what happens GW7. I would not put my money on Alonso starting.

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

              I think there may be more going on behind the scenes with Chilwell too. Not being given a single minute at the Euros may have affected him but the one game he did start vs Villa in the cup he looked short of full fitness and confidence.

              But we’ll know more next GW

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

      Alonso has been playing nearly every game of the season. Taken out early to rest ahead of Soton.

    Hello.

    2 ft.

    Sell two:

    A. Shaw ( should be fit again any time)

    B. Digne ( United, West Ham, Wolves, Tottenham, M. City in next 6)

    C. Trent Arnold ( Could hold on bench til fit again)

    D. Torres.

  16. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which to finish my WC:

    1) Azpi Cancelo Brownhill ESR
    2) Alonso Cancelo Brownhill Gray
    3) Christensen Dias Luiz Saka?

    Currently on 2 but starting to have doubts about Alonso so maybe 3?

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

      I think 3 looks better. Like the Saka pick. I’m hoping to get him in next week

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

        Thanks, tempted to hold Gray with Watford coming up but think Saka should perform better.

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1

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

        Thanks, I like it but not sure yet about ESR, only thing stopping me.

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

      for me its alonso and dias or cancelo and azpi/rudiger to cover the risk. but every season alonso eventually gets dropped and maybe nows the time

  17. CERVELO
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bit of a dilemma - already done Ron to Lukaku with my FT. Have James & TAA. Would you -4 to ship James to ensure solid defence and if so which of the following;

    Rudiger
    Alonso
    Cancelo
    Dias
    Other(?)

    Cheers.

    Why are we getting lots of articles spouting that Mbuemo has a high xG delta? Have the writers watched him play? His negative xG delta is suggestive that he has been a bad finisher. Watching him play reinforces the idea that he is an awful finisher. Why does anyone think his negative xG delta is incorrect?

      No idea. Underperforming without doubt. He doesn't float my boat.

      still find it mindboggling that Vardy was not even mentioned in the article of best forwards for GW7.

        Its feeling more and more like the contributors are stuck in groupthink simply churning out the same stuff. Limited actual thought provoking insight

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Circusmonkeys community article is really good for challenging ideas even though the conclusion was fairly inconclusive

      "Watching him play..."

      That's the point mate. These people spend much more time interacting with each other on twitter and trying to build or maintain a FPL 'profile' than they do watching football. Also, they don't want to be the dumb one that goes out on a limb. Also they love stats because stats don't lie. (They may not tell you what you think they do but they don't lie).

      If you want original thought you need to ignore what everyone else says and figure things out for yourself. And why should anyone that takes the time to do that bother to share it?

        People who do do that and share are lost in the noise and the scrolling

      I agree with you so much.. he only has one goal and has chances but can't finish!!

      don't get the hype

    Over 8,9&10, would you rather:

    Salah vs Wat Utd Bri
    KDB vs bur Bri Pal

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Salah

  20. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Think Azpi and Rudiger the way forward with Chelsea assets.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years

      Thankyou for the well explained contribution.

    2. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Them two or one cheaper with Christensen.

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am thinking Christ/Azpi, pocket the £1m and accept slightly more rotation

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

        Whoops meant Christensen Rudi

    Good morning.What would you do here?If Shaw is fit i am thinking
    Obafemi+Fernandes+Tsimikas->Lukaku(c)+Brownhill+Walker/Christensen,
    else Tsimikas+Shaw->Christensen+Cancelo and get Lukaku next gw.

    Sanchez
    Taa*/Shaw*/Coady
    Salah/Benrahma/Fernandes/Raphinha/Traore
    Jimenez/Antonio

    Steele/James*/Tsimikas*/Obafemi*
    2ft 1.3itb

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

    A) ESR + Antonio
    B) Raphinha + Saka

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

      A

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

      B as westham fixtures are turning and Antonio is injury prone

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A. Antonio top point scoring forward, why would you not have him?

  25. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Out of the polls on the site I think "which Chelsea defender are you bringing in" should be the one!

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Its all up in the air after that game last night. TT really not happy!

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

        Hopefully it's the end of Alonso for sometime, did Chilwell look match fit?

        1. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Couldnt really tell in 45 mins, didnt do much wrong but certainly didnt set the game alight.

          I actually laughed out loud at some of the play Alonso made in his first half, he was awful.

          TT made massive changes across his team in second half, bringing on players like Chalobah and RLC which speaks volumes how unimpressed he was.

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start 1?.

    Douglas Luiz (Spurs away)
    B.Williams ( Burnley away)
    Sissoko (Leeds away).

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

      Sissoko

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mo.

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      Sissoko

  27. Powers106

    So it doesn't impact anyone's day, lol, but I've decided to hold TAA and have 2FT during the break to maybe chase a juicy price rise or at least not have to take multiple hits if any injuries. So in Duffy or Marcal I must trust!!

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

      I am gonna have to start all 3 of Duffy Livra and Gilmour

      1. Powers106
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds like the Gilmore Girls cast, but yeah, what are ya gonna do?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good luck.

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

      Yeah, 2FT's the best weapons you can have after the IB.

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

    ??

    Saka
    Gallagher
    Mbeumo
    Kovacic

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

      S & G

  29. Energetics

    2 years, 6 months ago

    With the value in defence, 4atb makes it super easy to fit in the three premiums. The problem is its TAA or Antonio, both is difficult.

    E.g
    Ramsdale
    Taa Cancelo Rudiger Semedo (Livra)
    Salah Raph Gallagher (Luiz Sissoko)
    Cr7 Lukaku Armstrong

    Or swap Taa and Armstrong to Christensen/Any 5.5 and Antonio.

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

      Having watched us play last few games, I would go without Ronaldo quite comfortably. It's not gonna improve until Ole leaves.

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

        United are undoubtedly poor. But CR7 still has 5 in his first 5 games, and if he had taken the penalty instead of Bruno could easily have scored in every game he has played so far.

        While I don’t see United improving dramatically I don’t see CR7 going on a goal drought anytime soon either!

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          But he didn't take the penalty.

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not going to improve until they get attackers that can defend and cms that are better plus a right back..

    I’m getting cold feet about double Chelsea defence now
