FPL team news: Jota’s Gameweek 11 start hopes boosted by Firmino injury

Liverpool and Manchester City both cruised to UEFA Champions League wins on Wednesday but as ever, it was the starting XIs and injury news that was of more interest to Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers than the results.

There is also fitness news to report from Chelsea and Manchester United, who contested Champions League group matches on Tuesday, and Leicester City and West Ham United, who are in Europa League action on Thursday.

INJURY UPDATES

Diogo Jota’s game-time prospects may have been given a short-term lift at Anfield on Wednesday as Roberto Firmino, Jota’s main rival for the central role in the Reds’ attacking trident, limped out of the win over Atletico with a hamstring injury.

While we await a full prognosis, a Gameweek 11 start – at the very least – for Jota looks more likely given the swift turnaround times between games on the continent and on the domestic front.

“If Bobby Firmino wouldn’t have gone off with a hamstring injury, [the night] would have been much better.” – Jurgen Klopp

Klopp also confirmed that Sadio Mane was withdrawn at half-time to avoid him picking up a second yellow card, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is “fine” after his substitution.

Curtis Jones and Joe Gomez missed the match with eye and calf problems respectively.

Manchester City have had a good run with injuries over recent weeks but Kyle Walker (knock) is a fresh concern for the Manchester derby, so Oleksandr Zinchenko will be on standby for a recall if Joao Cancelo‘s services are needed at right-back.

“We are going to review the players… especially Kyle [Walker] because he has a big kick in his foot.” – Pep Guardiola

Earlier in the day, Manchester United confirmed that Raphael Varane will not only miss the Manchester derby but also around a month of first-team involvement after suffering a hamstring injury in Tuesday’s draw with Atalanta.

Chelsea were also in action on Tuesday, with Mason Mount still not well enough to be involved following his recent illness. Mount subsequently returned to training on Thursday. Injury victims Romelu Lukaku, Mateo Kovacic and Timo Werner were absent as expected – they are all anticipated to make a playing comeback after the international break – while N’Golo Kante was left out as a precaution.

Ahead of Thursday’s Europa League matches, the typically vague David Moyes reported the usual “knocks and niggles” for West Ham United.

“We’ve got a couple of knocks and niggles behind the scenes which we’ll have to manage. Not serious, but just the odd one we might miss tomorrow.” – David Moyes

Andriy Yarmolenko and Nikola Vlasic were subsequently absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers was a little more specific on the fitness front as Leicester prepare to face Spartak Moscow.

“Ricardo has joined back in with the medical team, he’s been outside, but if he’s not ready for tomorrow, he should be ready for the weekend.

“We’ve had a few players with the sickness bug that’s going about, but we’ll just have to assess that and see where they’re at. If they’re not available, I’d expect them to be okay for the weekend. It’s Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and James Justin. [Justin] has been back training with the group and he wouldn’t have been available for the game anyway, but those three guys have unfortunately been down for a few days. They’re coming around now, but whether they’re going to be at their best level for tomorrow, we’ll have to wait and see, but if not they’ll be back ready for the weekend.

“Ayo [Perez] is in the squad so he’s fine after the bug he had. Marc [Albrighton] is a few weeks away. He’s out on the grass with our medical and rehabilitation team, which is good, but he’s still a few weeks away.” – Brendan Rodgers

      Cheers Skonto, was just about to ask if there was any info on pressers for today!

      1. Skonto Rigga

        No bother! Smith quotes nearly always come out an hour or so after the presser, so we've not missed anything yet.

  3. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you use FT anywhere here? Playing BB and 0.0 itb

    Ramsdale

    TAA Cancelo James

    Salah Son Raph Mbeumo ESR

    Vardy Antonio

    Subs: Guaita, Hwang Livra Duffy

    1. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      no. I'm considering starting Hwang over Raph too.

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Got to start Raph. Leicester not great defensively, particularly down that side.

  4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start 1
    A) Antonio
    B) Livramento

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I'm on this too. Not sure.

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. Totalfootball
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Has to be Antonio
      And Liverpool should concede, Antonio might be the 1 involved

  5. Black Knights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    When i own Jota, i watch him miss chances, be on the periphery of the game, get subbed off after an hour (even when Bobby isn't available), swear i'll never get him again. Then as soon as it looks like he gets an extended run in the side, i think about getting him back.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Same. He is frustrating to own but so obviously full of potential for a massive haul at some point.

    2. rilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Same for me 😀

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm not going back. Just like James. Can't do it.

  6. rilo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hi,

    My team at the moment

    Sanchez
    White TAA Livramento
    Sarr* Salah Havertz Rapinha
    Kane Antonio Jimenez

    Steele Dias Douglas Luiz Marcal*

    2FT 0.3 ITB

    For sure i want remove Sarr -> probably to Mbuemo.
    I can save a second transfer as my team looks ok for this GW after removin Sarr.
    I can remove Marcal after international break.
    Would Yuu recomend anything else? I really want Chilwell but no cash without hits

  7. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Have to start Antonio over Livra right?

    1. rilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Coin flip

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      1) Do you think Southampton get a clean sheet? Y/n

      2) Do you think Liverpool keep a clean sheet? Y/n

      Both ‘y’ or both ‘n’ then toss a coin. One ‘y’ one ‘n’ pick that player with the other first bench.

      If in doubt, play Antonio.

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I think so.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      nope

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

    Azpi to James?

    Want it to be a long term move. Or would you rather have Rudi, TAA or some punt on Reguilon?

    Rambo
    Cancelo/Azpi/Chilwell
    Salah/Son/Havertz/Raph/Mbeumo
    Vardy/Toney

    Foster/Livra/Duffy/4.4

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      TAA

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

        To be honest, maybe I shouldn't include TAA here as I've decided to go without him, for sure he is a great pick just would have to make some downgrades around the team

    2. rilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Rudi is much more safe pick - I would go for him

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Rudi

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Rudiger for safety, James will have good moments like last week but you could also end up a bit frustrated with him at times with rotation/ cameos. Hudson-Odoi has been playing well of late too (although further forward) and Azpi played as RWB against Malmo so he might have bigger competition for that spot soon

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Rudi

    6. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If only I had a pound everytime you asked this question

    7. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I did!

  9. TyroneGAA
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Predicted Chelsea defense? Thinking of doing Antonio and Azpilicueta to Toney and TAA I have the right money nothing left over and want taa in now??

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Azpi will probably play with Thiago likely to be rested, so you could just do the Antonio to Toney this week and wait a week for the TAA move.

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

        Sounds like a plan thank you

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      James Azpi Christensen Rudiger Chiwell

      Or

      James Chalobah Silva Rudiger Chilwell

      One of Silva or Azpi needs to start for leadership

  10. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Choose 2 for the bench:
    Cancelo Livra Rjames Chilwell TAA Wadkins Mbeumo Antonio

    1. rilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio and Cancelo

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Keep Livra?

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez Foster
      Rjames Chilwell Cancelo TAA Livra
      Havertz Salah Foden Mbeumo ESR
      Wadkins Antonio Jimenez
      Enough money to do Havertz to Son GW12
      Who to bench though?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Livramento, Jimenez, Antonio

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          not bad but it will burn me for sure

      2. FFFoxy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        For me that’s the practically the best squad. I have the same but ramsdale & Toney instead of foster & Watkins. I’d bench cancelo & Liv. Antonio v Cancelo is tight but fancy United to score and Antonio always a threat

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I have a feeling about Watkins. Poor display by Villa last time out but Watkins still good and no Ings

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Watkins / Antonio

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        A hard one. maybe bench boost and get it out of the way?

    4. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Watkins gang!! I'd bench Cancelo and Livramento

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        On my bench ATM

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    With 2 FTs which option looks the best after International Break?

    A) Vardy & Saka ➡️ Kane & ESR/Mbeumo/Gallagher
    B) Saka & Vardy ➡️ Son & Wilson/Jimenez
    C) Vardy & Sissoko ➡️ Son & Hwang
    D) Semedo & Vardy ➡️ Kane & 4.5m def

    Sissoko & Semedo are my bench players.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B or C

    2. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

  12. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Newcastle will still be rubbish, linked with every expensive broken or injury prone player going 😉

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      haha agreed.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Think there's a very real possibility they will still get relegated even with buying big in January, we've seen far better teams go down in the past and really their only decent players are ASM and Wilson (who can't stay fit for long). Who are they going to attract that will change their fortunes so dramatically apart from a few mercenaries?

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Good points. It'll be a long term project given where they currently are.

  13. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I am increasingly feeling that this backline is unbalancing my team:

    TAA James Cancelo Dias Livra

    I sort of feel like I want to play the first four almost every week, which is giving me headaches further up the pitch. For example I keep looking at replacing Armstrong but then wondering whether I will actually find a place in my team for his replacement.

    Dias has the lowest ceiling of the big hitters (arguably even lower than Livramento) so I am thinking of downgrading him to get some money in the bank for GW12 moves. Which downgrade is best:

    A) Reguilon (sort of leaves me with the same problem)
    B) A cheap but reliable starter (e.g. Lowton)
    C) An enabler to give maximum cash in the bank (e.g. Johnson)

    Thanks!!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Lowton for me.

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

      Mitchell?

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Good suggestion!

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Striker options are so thin I'd prob stick with 4 atb for now. Who can replace Armstrong & outscore Dias?

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Well yes, that's the other thing I need to consider. The thing is I basically don't really want/need to make a transfer this week but I have two FT and it seems wrong to burn it, so I'm trying to think of ways to give me maximum flexibility next week... Will see what Ralph has to say about Broja today, if he's fit I might just bring him in for Armstrong as they'll offer my team pretty much the same but get a bit of cash in the bank

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Oh yeah in that case I like Armstrong - Broja. I also have Broja as budget enabler / bench option

  14. Joker91
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale, Foster
    Cancelo, TAA, Chilwell, Livramento, Laporte
    Mbeumo, Salah, Havertz, Normann, Brownhill
    Armstrong, Antonio, Vardy

    Very much considering Laporte to Reguillon, with the view of Vardy + Havertz to Kane and Son next GW (have 3.3m ITB and 2 FTs).

    Too much hope for Conte or worth the aggressive punt?

    Otherwise it's something simpler like:
    A) Vardy to Kane and Havertz to Foden
    B) Havertz to Son, small tinkering elsewhere to afford Vardy to Ronaldo post GW13

    1. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think in isolation Laporte to Reguilon looks like a good move, and if it allows you the option of Kane and/or Son next week then why not? At least you'll get a first look at Spurs under Conte. I just don't know how to approach the Spurs assets. I would like Son but it's a real headache and probably 3 moves to get him into my team. Vardy to Kane is easy but I like Vardy's fixtures and am a bit reluctant to lose him!

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Excellent plans.

    3. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Armstrong to Toney and roll.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Well its definitely the right 3 spurs to get if you want to make a really aggressive, high variance gamble on Conte & fixtures. No one can say whether its "too much hope" but it'll definitely give you an edge over managers like with (with only son) if it works out

  15. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Transfer plans… 2 FTs

    A. Ronaldo + Sarr -> Toney + Son
    B. Ronaldo + Sarr -> Kane + Jota
    C. Sarr -> Trossard
    D. White -> Reguilon

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      E. Antonio -> Toney

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A or B

    3. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd try to roll 1FT if I were you. Trossard looked great in the last game but not sure he will be getting in those positions as much if Maupay gets back in the team. Think Sarr does need replacing though....

  16. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Rudi, Cancelo
    Salah, Raph, Gallagher, Havertz
    Ant, Jimi, Vardy

    (Foster, Livra, Sissoko, Lowton)
    2FT. 1.4 ITB

    A) Raph - Mbeumo, 2 fts for IB and money for Hav - Son

    B) Hav - Jota, Jimi - Hwang. Leaving exact money for Raph - Son but probably have to be a very early move after deadline to avoid being priced out…

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    2. TheBiffas

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        True, Antonio/Jimi -> Toney maybe

      2. Athletico Underachieving
        • 3 Years

        Yeah it’s a gamble but can’t have them all!

  17. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    A) Jota + Jimenez
    B) Mbeuemo/Gallagher + Vardy

      Not sure how accurate these are but all in one place...

  19. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale Sanchez
    James Livra TAA Cancelo Dias
    Foden Salah Havertz Raphinha Mbeumo
    Toney Antonio AArmstrong

    2 FT

    Dias to Reguilon?
    too early for Reguilon Party?

    or double up Chelsea defense to Chilwell?

    or to Johnson and use the money to strength attackers?

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      my plan was to transfer Armstrong but since I lost 0.1m, I shall keep him for Norwich game

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Too early. Double up Chelsea defence.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ouch, bench headache f.c. Just downgrade dias to raise funds for havertz > son.

      1. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yes and sadly I played Dias for the past 2 game weeks

        needless to say my bench playersss scored better

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

    Any news on if Broja will be fit for the Norwich game after the IB?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hassenhuttel PK today should give some indication

    2. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      praying Armstrong will be featured in Norwich game lol

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hassenhuttl presser is later today, should know then

    4. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He's in training, so yes.

      Whether he starts or not is a different question.

    5. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Broja trained

      Soton fans love him, see twitter

      There u go, your answer

      1. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I also expect he'll start if fit. Armstrong did his usual thing of getting lots of shots off but turning out a bit wasteful

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Glad I didn't punt on him before the Leeds game, watched MOTD at the weekend and he gets lots of shots off but they all seem to be from difficult angles or 20-25 yards out and a bit wild

  21. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Coady to James worth a hit?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      nope.

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe but be prepared for the highs and lows of James ownership

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If you want some fun highs & lows rather than a reliable sub

  22. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Buy Sanchez or Guaita?
    Raya Out

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Close to coin toss territory

      I"d would just go Sanchez. Argument for Guaita is that Brighton defenders are perhaps more appealing if you want to avoid a double up.

      Palace I suspect could also switch to a back 5 fairly imminently which would be unknown territory.

  23. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone going without brentford attackers? I don't see the appeal in selling the likes of antonio / raphinha for them.

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Between Gallagher and Mbeuemo for me but that's for Benrahma, not worth ditching Antonio/Rap IMO unless you need funds

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah exactly. If I had Armstrong / Benrahma / Sarr I might look to replace them with brentford attackers but not for Antonio / Raph.

    2. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      will Rap miss a game after IB?

      if so I think it's worth to sell him for Mbeumo

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        If so I can play Livramento.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        No, Brazil play their last game on Tuesday

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I already have Toney but can understand not wanting to get rid of performing players for Brentford assets. But they play the two worst teams in the division next, that combined have conceded 48 goals in just 10 games. Could be missing out

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        If you already have Toney that's great.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I have Raphinha and Antonio too and personally I wouldn't sell either this week too, Leicester are awful at the back and Antonio is Antonio, he might have tough fixtures but West Ham are 4th and he has the 2nd highest pts in FPL for a reason

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Got both but if they blank against Norwich I’m done with them

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Fair enough.

    5. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I am gg to sell Mbeumo to ESM, i think norwich is slowly getting better

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

      I’m going without. Very little appeal when so many defenders and mid priced attackers are performing.

    7. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on Toney til 16/17 then switching back to Antonio. Still fairly optimistic he can outscore Mick for that period but I can understand getting cold feet on the move after last week

  24. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start 2:

    A) Cancelo
    B) Duffy
    C) Antonio
    D) Livra

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely C

      Close between A and B

      Not D.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Really? I fancy a newcastle goal, and Livramento could give Matt Targett nightmares.

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I think Brighton defence is still far better than Southampton, and Newcastle attack is worse than Villa's.

          Think that outweighs any attacking threat considerations

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely C then it's tricky between A and D, i'm still undecided myself

    3. Totalfootball
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B and C

  25. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Is it time to ship Azpi ? Feels sideways moving him to James but will Azpi even play at the weekend ?

    1. Root
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I shipped Azpi for James a few days ago before the price change. Not exactly sideways for me as I'll probably need the 0.3m spare for future moves.

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who is priority to bring in between

    A Jota
    B Son ( already have Kane)

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Neither really. If i had to choose, B

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

  27. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    best combo for next few gw's

    A: Muembo + Foden + Kane
    B: Son + Foden + Jimenez
    C: Muembo + Son + Vardy

    The other 4 attackers are
    Salah Raphinha XXX
    Antonio Toney XXX

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B by far

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A. Benrahma to Jota
    B. A.Armstrong to Toney

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on bench if Armstrong misses out but if a decent backup I'd do A

  29. cigan
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Sarr to ESR/Mbeumo/Gallagher or save to have 2 transfers available after internationals?

    With Jota in my team and now basically a confirmed starter this round, I'm starting to think I might be better off long term if I just save

  30. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    should i bring in james for jansson for free?

    i know its a simple question but jansson is one of my subs

    with the move i will be benching one of james, chilwell, foden, antonio, cancelo, mbuemo every week (either voluntarily or forcefully)

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I love James but in your position I'd say no to adding another rotation risk at expense of a reliable sub
