    Morning everyone. Quick poll for you:

    Would you play Raphinha away to Spurs or Saka away to Liverpool please?

    1. gengo

    2. ChelseaGuy

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      tough one that - I'd probably play them both but if you have to bench one probably Saka

    2. acidicleo

      captain kane..

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

      S

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Kane, the time is now, lets take a punt

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

      Owning Kane is enough of a punt with the current data

      I think 7+ of your outfielders will outscore him, including someone on your bench

      Cap Salah or someone with a better fixture than Leeds

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        So… leeds is not good enough fixtures for spurs…?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Spurs under Conte did not create a big chance or shoot on target vs Everton, the team with the most big chances conceded in their last 4 matches

          Leeds are ranked around midtable for defensive stats on current form. Spurs is a good fixture for Leeds defence

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

            I think Kane will haul personally this GW and owners and especially those brave enough to C will be laughing

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              If Conte is forced to start Ndombele, maybe

              If not, I don't see what points at that, other than hope. I just don't see it

              Spurs will improve under Conte, but they need creativity. It is simply not there without an attacking mid

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

                We will know soon enough but Leeds will attack, as they always do, and if Kane stays in the box, which he will, he'll score IMO and probably more than one

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

            ...and that's before we count the Spurs absentee list: Romero, Skipp, Lo Celso, and possibly Højbjerg

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

    Community Team to take on the scout picks this GW. Hopefully some decent differentials in midfield.

    McCarthy
    Cancelo Chilwell Reguillon
    Son Havertz B.Silva Zaha Bowen
    Ronaldo(c) Jesus(vc)

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

      Good luck 😉

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

        You’re the one to beat I hear

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

          25pts should be easy with that team I'm afraid. Will follow throughout the week.

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

      May I tempt you with Gündo over Bilva, with KDB confirmed out?

      Good team. Good luck 🙂

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

        I considered it but have sent this in now

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Oh, still great. Good luck

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years

    3. Patron

      Mig, do u consider Bilva in your own team, long term?

      1. Miguel Sanchez

    Foster
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Livramento
    Salah Son Raph
    Vardy Antonio Toney

    Sanchez - Mbeumo Brownhill White

    Thanks for all the responses on the previous page. So my thinking is hold Vardy and just do Sanchez > Guaita this week (rather than burn FT) and deal with Toney + Mbeumo next week.

  19. Mo Mane No Problems
