FPL Gameweek 9 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned

There were huge Fantasy Premier League (FPL) hauls aplenty on Saturday, with Phil Foden, Mason Mount and Joshua King all registering three attacking returns in comprehensive victories for their sides and two Chelsea defenders supplementing their clean sheets with goals.

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 9 fixtures.

You can read about the Friday night match between Arsenal and Aston Villa here.

INJURIES AND BANS

FPL Gameweek 9 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned 7

Raphinha (£6.7m) is an injury concern for Leeds United’s plum-looking Gameweek 10 clash against Norwich City, having limped out of the Whites’ draw with Wolves.

The Brazilian was seen on crutches and wearing a protective boot in the aftermath of that game, with Marcelo Bielsa unable to offer us much after full-time.

“He received a knock, we don’t know the extent or gravity of the injury.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha

There was at least a more positive update from the player himself, who said he was “fine” in comments posted on social media this evening.

Kalvin Phillips (£4.8m) was back on the bench at Elland Road but Marcal (£4.6m) missed the game for the visitors, even if his calf injury doesn’t sound serious and he could be back for Gameweek 10.

Ralph Hasenhuttl was also optimistic of goalscorer Armando Broja’s (£5.0m) chances of recovering from an ankle knock in time for the trip to Watford.

“I hope so. It doesn’t look too bad, hopefully. It will take a few days [for him to recover], I think. He is not allowed to play [against Chelsea] on Tuesday anyway, so we’re okay. He is a threat for us, definitely. He is helping our team.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl on Armando Broja

N’Golo Kante (£4.9m) and Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) sat out wins for Chelsea and Manchester City as precautions.

Fresh from a double-digit haul at Goodison Park, Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) will miss Gameweek 10 after picking up his fifth booking of the season today.

GAMEWEEK 9 TAKEAWAYS

LIVRAMENTO IS THIS YEAR’S LUNDSTRAM?

Tino Livramento (£4.3m) isn’t an ‘out of position’ defender in the mould of John Lundstram but he’s providing similar value from a £4.0m starting price, with Saturday’s goal against Burnley meaning that he has banked an attacking return or clean sheet in five of the last six Gameweeks. This was no fluke, either, as he registered three shots and created another three chances against the Clarets, hitting the post with another effort.

Among £4.5m-and-under defenders, Livramento is second to and only four points behind Shane Duffy (£4.4m). And while Livramento’s ever-present starter status remains intact, Duffy was an unused substitute in Brighton’s loss to Manchester City. It was likely a ‘horses for courses’ selection by Graham Potter, with the Irishman’s lack of pace probably a consideration, but Adam Webster (£4.4m) made his comeback from injury on the bench and Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) produced an eye-catching cameo to further the medium-term concerns about Duffy’s security of starts.

MOUNT AND FODEN ON THE CRUSADE FOR MID-PRICE MIDFIELDERS

So much value is being offered by £6.0m-and-under midfielders this season (the eye-catching Maxwel Cornet (£6.0m) is now firmly on the radar in that price rung after his brace against Southampton) that it’s easy to overlook the options in the bracket above. But Phil Foden‘s (£8.0m) recent promise finally culminated in a massive 18-point haul at the Amex, with Mason Mount (£7.4m) topping even that with a hat-trick in Chelsea’s 7-0 win over Norwich City.

Foden’s strikes were somewhat fortunate given the deflections involved but he was nevertheless putting himself in positions to score in his false nine role, topping the Gameweek 9 count for goal attempts, shots in the box and efforts on target.

Mount, meanwhile, can boast the best expected goal involvement (xGI) figure of any midfielder in Gameweek 9 so far, even if his mammoth FPL score comes with a big, fat, yellow-and-green caveat of it ‘only being Norwich’.

It wasn’t all success stories at this price point, however: Kai Havertz (£8.1m) – captained by 11% of the top 10k – somehow failed to get in on the act in that thumping win for the Blues.

CHELSEA’S DEFENDERS: HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD

We were given another weekly reminder that Thomas Tuchel holds all the cards with our Chelsea defenders, with the German benching Marcos Alonso (£5.9m), Andreas Christensen (£5.1m) and Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.2m) for the humping of the Canaries. Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), who now has 35 points in three Gameweeks, Antonio Rudiger (£5.8m) and Reece James (£5.5m) again demonstrated the upside of owning a member of the Blues backline, however, notching attacking returns to go with their clean sheets. It’s Newcastle and Burnley up next before the international break, so it’s an emphatic hold on most of our Chelsea defenders (Alonso perhaps aside) ahead of Gameweeks 10 and 11 – and all eyes on the teamsheet in the midweek EFL Cup clash with Southampton.

A GOOD DAY FOR BUDGET FORWARDS

Sub-£6.5m players have been responsible for eight of the 11 goals scored by forwards in Gameweek 9 so far.

Joshua King (£5.5m), back from injury and playing through the middle of Claudio Ranieri’s 4-2-3-1, scored a hat-trick, while Broja has two goals in as many starts and Hwang Hee-chan (£5.7m) made it four goals in six apperances since his Gameweek 4 debut with the opener at Leeds.

Both names currently on our Watchlist on the sidebar of our homepage, Hwang and Broja have another good-ish five Gameweeks’ worth of fixtures to come before we reach the hectic December period.

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 9

After what seemed like years of dormancy as a Fantasy asset, 2016/17 cult favourite King burst back onto the scene on Saturday. A total of four big chances and an xGI figure of 2.13 haven’t been beaten in Gameweek 9 so far, and he now has six attacking returns in his last four appearances for the Hornets.

Christian Benteke (£6.3m) matched King for big chances on Saturday, notching back-to-back goals in successive Gameweeks and only being denied a match-winner against Newcastle after a foul was spotted in the build-up. He is top for xGI among all Premier League players since his return to the Palace line-up in Gameweek 8.

    Sa➡️Raya
    Benny➡️Foden - 4

    Classic pts chasing isn't it?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I sold Benny on WC but after how awful Villa were vs Arsenal I'd be holding him for that game if still owned

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Surely can't play 3 at the back again nxt game. It's a disaster

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Can't believe he played 3 at back vs Arsenal and Tuanzebe is rubbish

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sure, but probably work out in your favour pretty quickly

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Could do Sarr/Benny➡️Mount for free tho tonight.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Don't settle

  2. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Chilwell the best Chelsea defensive option then? Just know as soon as I get him he won't start

    1. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just get Rudi
      Sit and relax

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd say so, get him and Rudi then sit and relax

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think Chilwell is the best option, and we’ll worth eating the odd benching here and there.
      For some reason I just want R. James

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Both is the way.

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

    13 damn points so far lol

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      12 here! Yipee

  4. tommo1989
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If you had to guess, would you say Raphinha will be fit for Norwich next week or not?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If I had to I would say yes, cause that is what I want the answer to be

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha same. Was it a twisted ankle or just a knock?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Looked pretty nasty... Twisted.

          1. tommo1989
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah I’m beginning to think he won’t be fit for next weekend. Bamford twisted his ankle and he’s been out for a while

        2. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Don't know. Can believe it bloody hurt though.

  5. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kind of feel that Havertz isn’t going to start against Newcastle.
    He was anonymous and I Tuchel didn’t look happy with him at one point in the game.
    Have a feeling he might bring in Ziyech instead.

    Very tempted to go for Foden instead and have a City triple up next week (Cancelo, Grealish & Foden) .
    I’ll probably sell Grealish after that and keep Foden

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Once upon a time, a mate asked me to make up the numbers for a game that was far to high a level for me and stuck me upfront to keep me out of the way.
      Not sure I touched the ball more than a couple of times, but ran my arse off and kept the CBs honest and we won so I feel that I contributed.

      Didn't actually see the game today so this nostalgia trip might have been on no relevance at all of course

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        too high

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Obviously not selected for next match now you come to think of it so...

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

    Can anyone beat my bench points of 25? Looks like they will stay there too.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't tell me you played someone like Mbeumo over ESR?

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Raphinha

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough. I went without on WC because Leeds look trash but unfortunately one of last trades was ESR out even though owned since beginning and benched once for his only other haul

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Crikey. I always try to fill my bench with 2 point schlubs to avoid it.

  7. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to sell to buy Foden?

    A)Raphina
    B) Saka
    C) keep both

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B) if Raph is fit.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

  8. Steve The Spud

    80% template and down 150k places, bad week for the template!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bad for the non template so here

  9. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    This is tough.

    Mount or Foden?

    Can get Mount for free this wk or Foden - 4 nxt wk..

    It will be Sarr out most probably this wk even tho has Southampton nxt

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one, not sure if Mount just had a good week against a poor side while Foden has looked impressive for a few weeks now. Probably go Foden.

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

    So tempted by Raphinha Christensen and Williams to James Chilwell and Brownhill for a -8 !? Should I just do it ?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You know what? I think you should.

  11. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    James to Chilwell(maybe more nailed) ??

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Negatory

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bit sideways, I guess ok if you have no other pushing issues. Would rather have them both.

  12. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    For an 8 man draft league, would you rather?

    A) Smith-Rowe and Chris Wood
    B) 4.9m mid and Wilson/Watkins 

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A if they both need to play

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    These moves worth it?

    Haverts and Tierney to Mount and James -8?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Classic chasing really, but Havertz surely has to be kept for one more game?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I know but the price changes are going to kill I reckon

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Nah he’ll be fine until after another GW a I reckon

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Give Kai a chance

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why is it a -8 if only two transfers?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Did Marcal to Chilwell with my ft

        1. SuperG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I’m at 11k and I reckon much of the reason is I’ve gone without taking a hit this season.

          Burning eight on players you didn’t want 24h ago is bonkers.

  14. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I was contemplating between A or B but then another couple of options came to mind

    A. Duffy to Chillwell
    B. Gallagher to Foden
    C. Dias & Gallagher to Chillwell & Foden (-4)
    D. Cancelo & Gallagher to Chillwell & Foden (-4)

    Pick one please (Don't own any Chelsea)

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A, a, a. Calm down, calm down

      (not my joke)

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        How many going to get this on here? Would blow their minds seeing it.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Scousers right?

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8No0ctFukKQ

            Hadn't thought about it in years till recently, but still ridiculously funny

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Are you telling me to calm down?

        You calm down!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t be losing Dias or Cancelo for Chillwell, thankfully these three are now my defence

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t sell the city defenders

  15. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A great start to the week and up inside 19k, and that's benching Livra too!

    Chuffed to bits this season so far!

    Salah(c), TAA, Antonio and Vardy to go!

    Anyone else riding high?!?!??

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, polar opposite

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It's only week 9 mate!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          True, but truly TRULY deflated now at 1.1m OR. Horrid GW so far. Well done to you though, I’ve also been horrid today.

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Start manifesting change mate. Piece by piece!

            I've started the last few years horrifically!

            Then again I wasn't playing with a full set of cards as I couldn't pick United players until this season (not that I have any atm).

            Don't ask.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Change how though if you don’t mind me asking? I’ll post my team shortly, if you can offer any advice that would be amazing 🙂

          2. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Picture yourself succeeding.
            Think a positive thought to drown out a negative thought.
            Minimize obstacles.
            Do not attempt to copy others.
            Repeat “If God be for us, who can be against us?” ten times every day.
            Work with a counselor.
            Repeat “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” ten times every day.
            Develop a strong self-respect.
            Affirm that you are in God's hands.
            Believe that you receive power from God

            (G-d bits optional probably, but possibly safer to do them just in case)

      Low rider here

      1. Stupendous

        Onwards and upwards!

    3. Paqueta Rice

      So far behind you it’s unbelievable really.

    4. SuperG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      11k with the same to go as you, except Kane for Vardy

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Semedo to James / Laporte -4?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James. Yea unless for free next week

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yup. Strangely drawn to Laporte, back as one of the main men and has always had a bit of threat. James lovely player, but cameos have been a feature of his career to date.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He has barely featured this season in PL. James could very well be benched next week

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Wasn't he injured?

  17. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Exact funds to do Raph Rudiger Ben Sarr to Foden Chilly James and Brownhill. What can possibly go wrong.

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ignore that Marcal also going

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not a thing :-0

    3. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good moves you’ve done well to save your wildcard this long

  18. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Tierney and Haverts going to go down and James and Mount going to go up 0.4m swing and only have 0.1m cover, can't let this happen I don't think

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Havertz is on 85% so won't fall anytime soon
      Same for Tierney on 10%
      Chill!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tierney & Hav are nowhere near a drop

      1. Dynamic Duos

        It will happen by deadline I reckon

      Mount not rising?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not tonight no, by deadline reckon so

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t think James is rising
      Did Havertz already rise with the influx or you’ll lose value if he drops?
      They seem like decent moves but you’ll need bench cover for James.
      Not sure about the hit to cover price drop.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Got Haverts at 8.1m

    Thoughts on

    Jimi, Raphina -> Hwang, Foden(-4)?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, I am backing everything that seems exciting this evening

  20. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I know nothing is set in stone with Pep but how nailed do we think Foden actually is?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not even slightly.

      Nobody is besides Ederson

      Dias, Grealish, KDB all been benched.

      He will be benched again soon enough like everyone else

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wondering the same, extremely lucky today, is he worth the price

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I hate this when u have no time to think etc with price changes. Iv exact money to get him tonight and il be honest nvr crossed my mind until today.

        Thought about Mount alright. Can afford him no prob.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I know what you mean, we’re forced sometimes aren’t we.
          I think Mount & Foden we’re just the right shirt term picks, not long term.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            short*

        2. Casual Player
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          If he hasn’t crossed your mind before today, it’s not worth doing IMO

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not lucky in the slightest.

        He's a magician

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Never nailed, but best asset based on price/rotation imo

    4. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      As someone once said, if you don't play Pep Roulette you've no chance of winning it.

    5. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Torres being out helps, Sterling on the naughty step also plus he actually looks good in the role so about as nailed as you could hope with Pep for the foreseeable.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        My thoughts exactly

        + he can play well in multiple positions

        worth the risk/reward

    6. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think the golden rule is if you need to ask them they’re not nailed.
      There’s no degree of nailedness. Comes down to how likely they are to get a benching. Foden in great form and probably starts 3, comes off bench once in every 5 matches I’d say…

  21. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mini league rival played his free hit

    Mendy, Mount, Foden, James fml

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wow fair play, that's a big result

      respect

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I brought in Havertz (c) 🙄

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ouch.

      Have to say well played him, though, as much as it no doubt grates

    3. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I feel for u. I was 34 pts clear of my rival, Foden(c) /Smith Rowe and Livremenco off the bench has wiped it out in one go.

  22. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Raphina

    or

    B. Benrahma

    to Mbueno to help fund Jota > Foden?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wait on Raphinha injury news and on Benrahmra performance tomorrow

  23. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA Cancelo Azpilicueta (Livramento Duffy)
    Salah Havertz Raphinha Benrahma (Brownhill)
    Kane Antonio Toney

    What changes would you make in a WC?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Havertz Benrahma brownhill maybe Sanchez but no obvious replacement

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haverts to Mount, Benny to Foden, Azpi to Chilwell, Duffy to James, Kane to Jesus/Vardy , Sanchez to Ramsdale/Raya , Steele to Foster, Brownhill to Luiz/Sissoko

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You could end up with a lot of rotation no shows with that lot

    3. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tinkered
      Antonio, Raphinha, Benrahma, Havertz, Azpi, Sanchez, Steele out
      Hwang, Son, Foden, Mbeumo, Chilwell, Raya, Foster in

  24. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What a nonsense penalty for Leeds that was.

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ruined my Sa clean sheet too. Then Cancelo. Baad gw

  25. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    All eyes on Brentford tomorrow with Raph Gray Armstrong on the chopping block.

    If you could only have one of Mbuemo or Toney which would you go for first?
    I can’t keep Armstrong too long if Gilmour isn’t getting a look in for bench cover so a hit for both isn’t out of the question either

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The one that's OOP in FPL

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Feeling seems to be that Toney is the one to have for easier fixtures (though I have the cheaper one)

  26. Fulchester's New Centr…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/23/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united-premier-league-title-bid

    What guff, said it before, but Rafa, Hasenhüttl, Dyche, Frank et al. would have that team challenging at least

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The amount of money they’ve spent on players is beyond insane - I don’t even know how they’re managing to do as badly as they are at this point

  27. Dave’s Rubber Digne R…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez / Steel
    Cancelo / TAA / Rudi / Livra / Williams
    Salah / Raph / Foden / Mbeumo / Allan
    Vardy / Jimi / Antonio

    2.4ITB

    1) Raph / Williams / Allan -> Chilwell / Mount / 4.5
    2) Antonio / Allan -> Toney / Mount 0.8ITB to upgrade Williams to Lamptey next GW.
    3) Raph -> Mount 1.6ITB (Williams to Lamptey next GW)

    Thoughts?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1 looks good, even if Raph fit

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would you of wanted mount if it wasn’t for his hat trick today? Against Norwich.

      1. Dave’s Rubber Digne R…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I wanted Havertz in truth but would rather have a better bench given likely benching of Foden etc.

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

    Exact cash for Tierney + Raph + Gray > Chilwell + Foden + Brownhill, so I've gone in. Two injured folks and downgrading a sub for -8, to give:

    McCarthy
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Rudiger
    Salah Son Foden
    Vardy Antonio Hwang

    Matthews | Livra D.Luiz Brownhill

    Antonio to Toney in GW11. Got a flexible plan on https://www.livefpl.net/myteam. Rolling with it and adapting as the landscape changes every week, usually via injuries to my players with good fixtures 🙁

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good to me

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      So you did a -8 with Foden the only one close to rising or falling???

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Chillwell going up.

  29. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Been looking at the list of players who will be out from Boxing Day for the African Cup of Nations. Gonna take a bit of planning

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

      Not that many are in the template, to be fair. Actually just Salah, Auba and maybe Nacho/Pepe

      Salah to Jota/Son/Greenwood will raise a whole lotta funds for any other issue by then

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Salad & Mane will be missed by Liverpool. Could change the dynamics for the title race. City just lose Maghreb. Also quarantine increases time away.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not really, just loiter round here and all the answers will be revealed

  30. The Big Larsbowski
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I went Lukaku to Toney. Looking to skip out Rapinha or Gray. Who to pick:

    1. Mané
    2. KDB
    3. Son

    Son will allow me to go Gray- Mount later.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      3 it is then

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd go Son. Long term planning and all that.

      Mane is good too.
