FPL Gameweek 13 round-up: Sunday review, injury news and the things we learned

Our Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on from the day’s Gameweek 13 fixtures, from injury news to stats analysis.

With the swift turnaround between Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadlines, the Scoreboard articles for Saturday and Sunday will take the place of the usual Scout Notes this week.

GOALS, ASSISTS, BONUS

INJURIES AND BANS

Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Jack Grealish (£7.6m) both missed Manchester City’s 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday with unspecified minor issues, along with Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) who continues to isolate following a positive Covid-19 test.

For West Ham, Aaron Cresswell (£5.5m) was replaced just after the hour mark, with David Moyes later saying:

“He is okay, his back is stiff after going into the goalpost. He was in spasm really and couldn’t move his leg well at that point.”

Elsewhere, Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) surprisingly dropped to the bench, but it was a tactical move, with Arthur Masuaku (£4.4m) preferred for the reasons outlined by Moyes below:

“I think it’s the amount of crosses Manchester City put in your box from both sides. I think it’s how you defend them. They overload both sides when they’re crossing and they are very good at it. They’re probably number one in the Premier League for that. So that was the thought behind Arthur (Masuaku) and also, it gave us a little bit of left-sided balance which I thought I needed today as well.”

Meanwhile, Ben Foster (£4.1m) was absent from Watford’s matchday squad with a groin injury, along with Ismaila Sarr (£5.9m) and Nicolas Nkoulou (£4.5m), while Emmanuel Dennis (£5.3m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) will both be assessed having picked up knocks.

“I’m not sure how long Ben (Foster) will be out for, but Bachmann made some good saves and I am comfortable with him in goal. With Dennis and Masina, I’m not sure at the moment. Tomorrow we’ll check everybody because Dennis came out and Masina didn’t finish well.

As for Everton, they welcomed back Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) and Demarai Gray (£5.6m) to their starting XI and bench respectively, with the former’s performance discussed by Rafa Benitez after the game.

“When a player is out for a while you expect he will give everything and he did it. In the first half he was a little out of position but in the second half he was better.”

On the suspension front, Aymeric Laporte (£5.5m) picked up his fifth booking of the season and will now miss City’s midweek clash at Aston Villa, with either John Stones (£5.3m) or Nathan Ake (£4.8m) expected to step in, while Joao Cancelo (£6.6m) moved onto four cautions, and is now just one yellow card away from a ban.

“There is no reason why. I would like Nathan to play more than he is playing but Aymer (Laporte) is playing really well. For this specific game, John was not quite well the last two days. He was a little bit sick, with a fever after the game with PSG. That’s why we played Aymer. He is suspended for the game against Aston Villa, so [it’s] a new chance for the other guys.” – Pep Guardiola at his post-match press conference, when asked why he’d rotated his centre-backs so often this season

Elsewhere, Sergi Canos (£5.5m) andBruno Fernandes (£11.6m) are both now on four yellow cards, but Everton will welcome back Richarlison (£7.4m) for Wednesday’s Merseyside derby, having served his one-match suspension.

GAMEWEEK 13 TAKEAWAYS

FORWARDS HIT BACK

After Saturday’s games, no Fantasy Premier League (FPL) forward had returned either a goal or assist, as the shouts for going even ‘bigger at the back’ grew louder. That may still be the case, but with Ivan Toney (£6.7m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.6m) both on the scoresheet today, plus Watford duo Josh King (£5.6m) and Emmanuel Dennis, it has at least given us something to think about.

The latter two are perhaps the most interesting, not only due to their form, but also their budget price tags. Notably, King took on penalties in the absence of Ismaila Sarr (£5.9m) today, converting his first-half spot-kick after Dennis was fouled, and may well remain on them now given the Senegalese wingers back-to-back misses in Gameweek 12.

As for Dennis, following today’s goal and assist, he has now produced 11 attacking returns in just 12 Premier League appearances. Remarkably, only Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) has more with 20.

LEICESTER ASSETS BACK ON THE FPL RADAR?

Despite failing to score in each of his last four Premier League appearances, Jamie Vardy provided two goals on Sunday as Leicester City beat Watford 4-2 in an entertaining clash at the King Power Stadium. Encouragingly, the veteran forward produced five shots in the box, more than he had managed across his previous four matches combined, while his 12-point haul rewarded the owners who kept faith despite his blanks. The Foxes’ next three fixtures suggest further returns could be on the way, too.

Leicester’s win was only their fifth from 13 Premier League matches, but they did look more comfortable – at least in an attacking sense – in today’s 4-2-3-1, which saw Vardy flanked by Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.5m). However, it was the performance of James Maddison (£6.6m) which stood out most, as he thrived as a no. 10 and looked back to his best after a terrible start to the campaign. The playmaker was at the heart of everything his team did well, and ended the day on 16 FPL points, via a goal, two assists and three bonus points.

“It was great, you can see Maddison’s quality, he was a real inspiration for us. We always have a point to prove every single day. For him it was looking at his game, he knows this is a game and a level where you are always looking to prove yourself. You can never be calm with that, you always have to be intense. You are seeing the work, not just with him but the confidence returning to the team. It’s not about the one player, it’s about the team but he was excellent today.” – Brendan Rodgers

RONALDO BENCHED AS CARRICK OPTS FOR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH

Despite missing three key defenders – Raphael Varane (£5.5m), Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Luke Shaw (5.1m) – United looked better defensively in Gameweek 13, as a more conservative approach earned them a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Even though they failed to record a single shot on target during the first-half, they scored against the run of play via Jadon Sancho (£8.9m), who netted his first Premier League goal since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Now, if he can nail down a spot in the starting XI, he could perhaps emerge as an option for our midfields, especially given United’s improving schedule, though it is worth noting caretaker manager Michael Carrick said after the game that Ralf Rangnick, who is expected to be announced as the Red Devils’ interim boss, was not involved in his team selection or tactics against Chelsea.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m), the move to bench him certainly caused plenty of discussion prior to kick-off, which Carrick touched on in his pre-match interview:

“A few tweaks and changes from the other night, to change things up a bit. Cristiano is probably our standout name, but it’s just a gameplan, ideas. I had a good chat with Cristiano actually, he was great, and we’ve decided to go like that today. Really looking forward to the game.

It’s a decision just to pick a team, to be honest. I don’t think it needs more drama than that.

Everyone is fine, all the boys who have come out of the team have been terrific around the place, Cristiano included, fantastic with the boys, supporting them 100 per cent and ready to come on if and when needed.

We’re happy with the team we’ve picked, for sure. We’ve come here to try and win the game, like we do every single game.”

BURNLEY V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR POSTPONED

Sunday’s Premier League game between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor was called off shortly after the line-ups were announced due to heavy snow. Attempts to clear the pitch were unsuccessful as the undersoil heating failed to cope and snow fell as quickly as it was being cleared.

No details have yet been given regarding the rescheduling of the game, though initial reports have suggested that it is unlikely to be played this year, with Spurs already facing a packed December schedule.

“We were ready for the game and I’m sure they were as well. A lot of people have worked very hard here over the last couple of hours but the pitch just continues to recover every time they clear it. Our goalkeepers have just gone out to warm up and the ball’s collecting snow.

The referee explained the safety angle as well, so I think they’ve just made as early a decision as possible. The ref said we’d have to keep stopping to clear the lines. And of course, there is the safety angle, so I think it’s a joint decision from everyone concerned.

I made it clear – if it could be played, we wanted it played, as did their manager [Antonio Conte]. A joint decision was made eventually and I can’t see how it could go ahead with the way the pitch is.” – Sean Dyche

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 13

Ilkay Gundogan’s (£7.2m) 1.35 xGI total was more than any other player on Sunday, though Josh King was a close second, having benefitted from a first-half penalty, as did Brentford’s Ivan Toney.

Ademola Lookman also features thanks to his close-range goal, which carried an xG value of 0.77.

James Maddison’s five created chances was only bettered by one other player in Gameweek 13, while Gundogan, Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.3m), Tom Cleverley (£4.8m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m) also posted encouraging totals.

However, none of Sunday’s names rank in the top five xA performers, which suggests the quality of chances they provided for their team-mates wasn’t quite as good as others this weekend.

          Yes- v Everton could easily get another brace

        Even if Phil is confirmed fit?

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

      Would you be willing to lose Son? Could get Jota in now, and be more flexible on strikers when losing Jimi next week. If not: 1 from me too.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I dont think so, not just yet, I got him in for the run of fixtures so should keep the faith especially after the postponement

        1. SoulShakinTex
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I thought there would be a reason for that option not being on the table, yes. (I just stuck with Vardy for five weeks myself before I now got some payback.) But none of your other choices are ideal either.

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

    Team and bench gtg? Or should ESR start ahead of Gallagher

    Guaita
    TAA James Cancelo Alonso
    Salah (c) Raphinha Jota Gallagher
    Kane Antonio

    Foster ESR Livramento Scarlett

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Good to go imo

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

    Can anyone offer any insight into Duffy’s minutes going forward? I banked a FT and considering moving him or Livramento. Thanks.

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It seems like he misses the occasional fixture based on tactical matchups, whereas Livra seems like a certain starter every game.

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

        Duffy to Lamptey then, no?

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I like that move, but wouldn’t do it now, as I think Lamptey is likely to get rested against West Ham

  5. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Many keen on bringing in Dennis or King for MCI and CHE. At home, but still going up against the best defenses in the league.

    Probably will move for one of the two but not just yet

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      its a form over fixtures play, not many other options. If they fit the hole then get them imo, but dont get them for the sake of it. Pukki might be a better option

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

        Lascelles and Ritchie both out for Norwich. It’s Pukki party time.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I image they are simply the enabler as part of a double transfer for most and will languish on benches until the fixtures change (downgrade to King to upgrade to Jota for example) …

      1. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That makes sense

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

      Same thoughts, I'll be downgrading Toney / ASM to King likely after the City match but I probably need to ensure I have those two there for now with better fixtures.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd imagine he's been used an an enabler

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

      Best bench strikers. Don't think many will play them for next 2. Just to get someone else along with them.

  6. highsguy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Saka and Mbeumo to Jota and 4.5 mid -4?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Alonso
    Salah Raph Mbeumo
    Toney Kane Antonio

    Foster Saka Duffy Brownhill

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

    Will we get all the pressers before deadline ??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes but some will be embargoed until after deadline.

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    ASM going up is such a random price rise. Who is bringing him in?

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, strange one. Even if he’s an enabler, he’s a strange enabler.

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

      Guessing people are seeing NOR BUR in fixtures and getting him in.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This, plus he is the highest-scoring forward in the 6.5-7m price range. Which is enough for many of the more casual managers who don't look at any other stats or watch Newcastle games.

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson owners.

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

      No idea. I brought him in this week and after seeing how deep he played against Arsenal I did regret it a bit, although he didn't seem himself in the game. But I suppose Howe knows he needs to really go for wins in these next two

  9. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with 2 FT?
    0.1 ITB

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, James (White, Obamidele)
    Salah, Son, Raphinha, Smith-Rowe (D.Luiz)
    Vardy, Antonio, Toney

    A) Obamidele ----> Ben Johnson & save second FT
    B) Antonio ----> Wilson (for NOR&BUR home games), save second FT

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You may want Antonio back in 2 GW, and you may want a better bench option than Johnson.

      i'd just wait until deadline and go for A if you have naught better

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I feel your pain mate, took out Vardy for Son. *clown face*

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ouch unlucky pal. Luckily I actually went Foden to Jota as my midfield transfer. Was in for a lot of pain otherwise

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I made four changes (-8).

          Foden, Benrahma, Gray & Vardy > Jota, Bilva, Son, Gelhardt

  10. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    G2G?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Cancelo, James, Rudiger, Johnson
    Salah, Son, Jota, Bilva
    Antonio

    Steele, Gallagher, Toney, Gelhardt

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I would start Gallagher over Johnson otherwise gtg

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Just have a feeling West Ham go back to keeping a clean sheet after the two recent PL performances. Moyes won't be happy. City game, understandable, Wolves game, not so much

  11. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Need two starters from this lot...

    A) Mbeumo
    B) Gilmour
    C) Livramento
    D) King

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      A and D I think.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 years, 4 months ago

      The fact you only have James, probably A.

      I've James and Rudiger and not sure the triple up is a good idea

    5. Eh, just one more thing ...

  13. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Unless Foden is confirmed fit and available by Pep then hes a sell >> Jota right ??

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Has to be I think, looking at the same move with my 1FT

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        will you save if he is fit and available ?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, if we get that confirmation I probably would, missed Jota's 14 pointer and although he looks good for points so does a fully fit Foden.

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Yes hopeful he’s fit and plays, gives us 2FT for next weekend to work in Jota another way hey

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Yep and maybe a chance for me to offload some deadwood in the process.

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions for this team folks? 1ft, 0.1m itb.
    Main concerns being no Jota or James, and a weak bench.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years

      Save and get those two players next GW for free.

  15. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Exact money for this 2FT:

    Saka + Foden > Jota + Bilva

    Worth pulling the trigger?

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

      Yes. doing it for free is nice. Bilva/Foden on par but Jota clear upgrade in that system

      Looking at this move myself next gw with Raph instead

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

      Absolutely

  16. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hello all,

    My first comment this season. Hope everyone is doing fine.

    What would you do with this lot? I'm thinking a hit to get Auba and Gray out, Jota/Gundo and King/Dennis in.

    Ramsdale
    James Rudiger Goalonso TAA Livra
    Salah Raphinha Gallagher (Gray, 4.5)
    Vardy Jimenez (Aubameyang)

    0.7 ITB, 1FT

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      good, but it needs a hit? or can you do it for free in two parts? i.e.e keep Auba for Manu U maybe.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate. Yeah I can but Aubameyang is seriously low on confidence and form. Missing sitters. Would prefer to play Livra over him

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          yea I had triple Arse, Auba, Saka and Ram. I rage transfered Auba and Saka out prior to last gw. Saka I need the money, but Auba is just annoying, he could egt something vs Mna U tho.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            He's so annoying! Two penalty misses was brutal. It's like he can't be arsed any more

            1. have you seen cyan

              lol, its been a rough ride owning Auba. A goal and assist for 6 points and a -1 in the last 5 weeks.

    2. SoulShakinTex
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Auba and Gray and 4,5 mid out could get you both Jota and Gundo/Bernardo and Dennis in. Just about?

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Good shout mate, thanks, yes it is doable. I'd take an 8 point hit for it actually. Maddison is also looking good

        1. SoulShakinTex
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, early days but promising. But you seemed acutely short on City assets 😉 Good luck!

            Thanks pal, you too

    Guaita (Ward)
    James TAA Cancelo Livra (Coady)
    Raphinha Salah Jota Son (Maddison)
    Saint-Maximin Antonio (Gelhardt)

    GTG?

    Question marks over Livra vs. Coady and whether to start Maddison

  18. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Gallagher to maddison for free?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      might be a bit early to jump on Maddison, but nice to get ahead of the curve I guess. Good performance vs Legia last Thursday as well.

      tbh I wonder if no Tielemans is helping Maddison, let's him play higher up

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Palace had a bad day but Gallagher is key to them. I like the Maddison pick though

  19. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Johnson fairly nailed? I actually need that .2

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think so. Cresswell came off and masuaku only just back from injury and I think he can fill in at left back if Coufal starts over the next week or two.

  20. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    which 1 to play?

    A. Antonio
    B. ESR
    C. Livermento

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

      A

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

      sorry Antonio should be Gallagher

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

        Still A

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

        Still A

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

  21. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What's more important to sort first, Ronaldo > Kane, or Chilwell > Reguilon/Alonso?

    Can easily bench Chilwell this week, but he's tanking big time.

    Current team for the next game week

    Taa Rudiger James Cancelo Chilwell
    Salah Jota Raphina Gallagher
    Ronaldo

    Subs: ESR Dennis Davis

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Get Alonso. Kane might be decent but I don't see any hurry until Spurs show some spirit under Conte. Prefer Vardy for the next few tbh

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      chilwell first

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely Chilwell

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell to Alonso imo, CR7 had his rest and United should improve from here

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Is the triple up with Alonso too much then? No too inspired by Reguilon tbh, but the fixtures are plum! But Spurs not totally sold on either

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

      If Dennis goes to AFCON which he likely will, good luck with that bench

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It'll be grand

  22. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    In a bit of an awkward position this GW, could you justify benching any of James/Alonso/Rudi/Cancelo/Silva? Villa improved under Gerrard, rotation risk for Chelsea wingbacks maybe?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You can't justify benching the Chelsea players because if they start, that could be a haul.

      Villa have done well the last two but they have created a very low xG - match that against City's defense and I'm not sure you actually want to bench a defender either.

      Villa have however been keeping teams out a bit better than before.

      Coaches may take the decision out of your hands but those are tough benching decisions.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        cheers 🙂

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

      Can't bench Chelsea against a Foster-less Watford defence. Although Tuchel might make that decision for us!

      Re Villa, City a far bigger test than Bri Cpl. Couldn't justify it myself

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        cheers 🙂

  23. The Mandalorian

    Pep “De Bruyne will be back soon and Phil Hopefully. Jack as well”

    Looks like Foden won't be ready for Villa. Hopefully he starts against Watford.

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Foden to Jota it is then. Should have done it last week haha

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

      Aren't those westham pre match words?

      1. Angelic upstart
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        They are indeed. KDB is almost certain to be back and I think Foden will be back too

  24. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    It will be interesting to see how Gerrards Villa shape up. I wonder when/if Buendia is going to become an option soon

    1. SoulShakinTex
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Young, Ramsey and El Ghazi all ahead of him right now? Gerrard does not seem convinced.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Oh, well there is a few potential Villa options

        1. SoulShakinTex
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Agree. I will be looking at them from GW17 myself. Buendia not top of the list ATM though.

  25. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Antonio to asm or wilson?

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

      Wilson is 1 YC away from suspension

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would make the transfer if you had no other pressing issues and an easy route back to Antonio as well, so doesn't really seem worth it

    3. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Pukki

  26. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Couldn't catch the Chelsea/United game last night.
    Marcos Alonso- 78 mins.. is he an avoid for now or still worth a punt before WC in 3/4 GW's time?
    Have the cash for James but Alonso seems a more fun/heartbreaking pick.

    Have Rudiger and need to replace Chilwell still.
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger, Livramento, ______

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

      Tricky timing given the short rest between next couple of games and CL. Maybe wait. If purely long term would prioritise James over Alonso

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      James can break your heart much more.

  27. Lignja
    • 6 Years

    Save ft? Or there is some move i could do? Have 1 ft 0.6m itb

    Sanchez
    Taa, James, Cancelo
    Salah, Son, Jota, Gundogan, Raphina
    Antonio, Wilson

    Livramento, Amartey, 4.5

  28. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone thinking of Sancho for Utds’ fixture run?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      yes but need to see 2 games imo, could go now but its like going for Pepe

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

        Yes I’m happy to wait a couple more and see how things shape up. Just a consideration as before he wasn’t but now he’s being utilised well and at 8.9 could be good

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          yea when I ditch Vardy I will consider him

  29. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
