FPL team news: Injury updates ahead of EFL Cup quarter-finals

Before the festive football commences with Gameweek 19, there is a round of midweek EFL Cup quarter-finals involving seven Premier League teams:

  • Arsenal vs Sunderland
  • Brentford vs Chelsea
  • Liverpool vs Leicester City
  • Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Here is a round-up of Tuesday’s press conferences, with Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team information found on our Predicted Line-ups page and Injuries and Bans feed.

Virgil van Dijk, Thiago, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson - potential Liverpool  return dates amid Covid and illness | LiverpoolWorld

LIVERPOOL

Four players are out with Covid – Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones – whilst Andrew Robertson begins his three-match domestic suspension for the red card received at Spurs.

“Health comes first so we have to make sure we don’t rush it, that they come back whenever they are ready. People underestimate when it’s 10 days’ quarantine, they think they can play immediately on day 11, but football doesn’t work like this.” – assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders

Jordan Henderson missed Sunday’s 2-2 draw with a regular cold but is available again, although Divock Origi “is still not training with the team” due to a knee injury. Nathaniel Phillips (cheekbone), Adrian (calf) and Harvey Elliott (ankle) are still on the sidelines.

CHELSEA

Thomas Tuchel was quite open with his injury updates here, seemingly ruling out the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek (ankle), Andreas Christensen (knock) and Trevoh Chalobah (knock) as well as their four known Covid victims – Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku.

“The players [with COVID] are OK [but] they are out for ten days before they can be released. We don’t really know when they can play. Nobody is back except for Jorginho. Andreas Christensen is very doubtful and the same for Trevoh Chalobah.”

Jorginho (back, plus an inconclusive Covid-test result) is available again but Hakim Ziyech (calf) may not be. Tuchel will not play N’Golo Kante this time, calling himself “close to irresponsible” for handing the Frenchman all 90 minutes against Wolves.

ARSENAL

Takehiro Tomiyasu was removed after 63 minutes of the Gunners’ 4-1 win at Leeds, which Mikel Arteta says was due to muscular discomfort.

“We decided to take him off, he wasn’t 100 per cent confident to continue in the game, and hopefully he’s not injured.”

Pablo Mari and Albert Sambi Lokonga remain out due to Covid, as Sead Kolasinac (ankle) continues his absence.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

There was good news from Antonio Conte regarding his squad’s Covid situation.

“All the players are now negative, which is good news for us. As you know well, with Covid, you need a bit of time because, for sure, many players at this moment are not so fit because they had to face this situation, but the good news is all the players are available. We have a little bad news in Ryan Sessegnon, he had a problem at the end of the game against Liverpool (on Sunday), he’s the only player with Cristian Romero who is injured.”

A muscular problem is set to keep Ryan Sessegnon out for around two weeks, as Cristian Romero (hamstring) remains out until early 2022.

WEST HAM UNITED

Vladimir Coufal will be suspended for the cup tie, following his Gameweek 17 sending off at Arsenal that couldn’t be served last weekend because of postponement. Centre backs Kurt Zouma (hamstring) and Angelo Ogbonna (knee) are still injured, with Aaron Cresswell pencilled in for a return having missed four matches with a back injury.

“We’re very good. The training ground has been very good and most are okay. We have got one or two with the virus, but most are very good and long may that continue.” – David Moyes

Ben Johnson (hamstring) and Ryan Fredericks (groin) are unlikely to take part at Tottenham.

LEICESTER CITY

With their last two league fixtures postponed due to Covid, it could be a patched-up Foxes squad that faces Liverpool on Wednesday.

James Justin (knee/match fitness) and Wesley Fofana (leg) have been out for a while, with undefined illnesses for Kelechi Iheanacho, Ademola Lookman, Jannik Vestergaard, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury.

Jonny Evans left the Gameweek 16 win against Newcastle United after five minutes because of a hamstring problem, the same injury as Caglar Soyuncu.

BRENTFORD

After recent Covid problems for Ivan Toney, Ethan Pinnock and many other players and staff, head coach Thomas Frank delivered positive news on the Bees’ current state, having also missed the last pair of matches.

“We have enough. We will have 11 players. We are in a fine place. We had six/seven [positive cases] last Thursday, but after lateral flow and PCR tests, we’ve had zero for the past two days.”

They are still without David Raya (knee), Kristoffer Ajer (hamstring), Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen (thigh) and Josh Dasilva (hip) but Frank said “let’s see what we will do” in regards to starting forward Marcus Forss.

    Anyone else plan to early WC GW21?

    Think its good time to get rid of Che,City,Ars

    Salah,Alonso,James,Foden,Gundo,Laca,ESR all out

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on KORONA VAHRUS

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Heavens to Murgatroyd no!
      Although I've not gone that deep on those teams; only Canc (who's a season keeper) & James.
      I'd hate to be without it when all the BGW/DGWs come around.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The only question is if it is better used later. Yet planning future fixtures can be easier, because we are probably going to know more about then earlier and planning could be easier. If there are a lot of postponements this week, taking hits becomes a possibility.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Quite possibly me.

        Wildcard 21. Bb22 seems an option

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Thinking the same. Maybe go all out, only keep TAA and Cancelo on the benchboost and 3 ManU, 3Tot, 2Wat, 2Lei, 2Bur. Move out 2 Spurs in GW23 for Jota and ManC.

          1. Yes Ndidi
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Depends how many of those you'll want in 23, 24, etc

            1. Firminooooo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              GW23: transfer in 1Liv and 1ManC: 2xManC, 2xLiv, 3xManU, 2Tot(sell1), 2Wat vs Norwich.

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

      Why get rid of City?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I'd keep cancelo. But look to play a wildcard that gives me loads of double players for 21 and 22 - which could both be significsnt dgws......eg son s better option that city mid

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          To great minds…..

      2. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping Cancelo,dont truse Foden+Gundo with single GWs over nailed players with DGWs.

  2. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Need 0.1 to fund a Bilva to Son transfer.

    Would you rather do

    A). Tomiyasu to Davies
    B). King to Broja

    Both are sub players, cheers

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      not sure I would lose Tomiyasu
      maybe King is the one to lose from those set

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably B.
      Broja hasn't got any competition up front at the moment, whereas Watford have forwards coming out of their ears. King will be the main man if Dennis goes to AFCON, but I get the feeling Watford will be that decimated that they'll struggle to create much anyway.

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

      A, Davies will have more doubles

    5. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I like B, Especially if Southampton have a double in GW21, as has been mentioned on here.

  3. Max City
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Exact money to do

    Foden + Mbeumo >> Son + Martinelli (-4)

    Good move?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sure do it

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That's a good move if all is well by Sunday

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

    Which is better for next 4 GWS ?
    A- Son + Martinelli
    B- Bilva + Foden

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mate Arsenal's fixtures from 1st Jan are tough. Their good run of matches ends after at Norwich.

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        makes sense

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          So u wouldn't get Both ?

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Martinelli may or may not haul. Tough one. I might look at cheap mid with two doubles with Son.

            1. OptimusBlack
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Cheers

          2. Max City
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I'm thinking of changing Martinelli to Ramsey (he'll be my 5th MID anyway), so it will be Son + Ramsey

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

    Trent = £8.3m
    Tsimikas = £3.7m

    Is this the highest and lowest defenders have ever been?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently Terry has been 9m in the early 2000s. Tsimikas might be lowest but who knows

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Wouldn't surprise me if 3.7 the lowest. Very rare for a player to be so popular at the start of the season and then to mass lose owners

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Shaw has dropped £0.5M for comparison.

          1. Gandalf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Meant to say very popular at the 4.0 price mark

            1. Sheffield Wednesday
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Yes, I should have seen that implication. Normally a lot of people wouldn't sell a 4M defender as they are just bench fodder enablers just like 4M GK. In Tsimikas's case he was popular at the start of the season due to Robertson unawailability, but had to be sold if you wanted Jota to join TAA & Salah essentials.

              1. Gandalf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Yup true, that was a big factor also

                1. Sheffield Wednesday
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Also Livra and Duffy provided a choice of 4M defenders who played regularly once Robertson's return blocked Tsimikas, so it was a perfect storm for a price drop.

      2. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Nah not 9. Baines hit 8 once but I think Trent has the record now.

        1. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          There was a discussion the other day on this. Apparently Terry was 9.

  6. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Where to start with 1FT? Roll?

    DDG
    TAA | Dias | Cancelo | James
    Salah | Jota | Bernardo | Mount
    Antonio | Watkins

    Bachmann | Dennis | Livra | Brownhill + 0.9m

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Roll

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        ty

        1. MikeS
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Good team

  7. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    If players are unavailable due to Afcon, will their prices remain unlocked during their absence?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good question. I doubt it, but not sure
      I am planning on keeping Salah for the 2 GWs he'll probably be out for, as rest of team should provide cover and don't want to waste transfers.

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry, read your question wrong. I meant I doubt they will be locked. Don't think they've locked them before.

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Foden now out in the cold?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Of course not. Pep has made his point, but he is not stupid

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      With a cup of coco

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

      Think he be back in. He’s been warned by pep, won’t be surprised to see him start next game

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

      Certainly puts his starting place at risk..

  9. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A. Watkins + Wilson
    B. Ronaldo + Broja

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry b

    3. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B

    4. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      lean on B

  10. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ddg (Bachmann)
    Cancelo TAA James Coady (Livra)
    B.Silva Salah Jota Maddison (Raph)
    Lacazette Watkins (King)

    …Raph to Bowen?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty sideways with Raph on pens man

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I mean, maybe, but I’d say that’s all he’s gonna get with how poor this Leeds side are rn and that quality gap probably means many more pens are unlikely

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          aye goals are the problem for sure and he won't get a peno every week. So I guess you've answered your own question really man

          1. ZTF
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah true haha, as you can tell I’m pretty set on shipping Raph, it’s just whether Bowen is the best replacement and whether there’s other possible moves I’m missing 🙂

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't

    3. Layifioren
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tieleman? I kind of like him. I had him pre-injury and I may get him back now that's he's back in play.

  11. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ok the big question..

    A. Son
    B. Ronaldo

    ?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Kane mate

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No way..

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          why not?

          1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I would do A but I would swap Ronnie for Kane if doing B

          2. MikeS
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Terrible form and looked awful the other night..

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Transfer is either:

      A. Bilva to son
      B. Lacazette and EsR to Ronaldo and martinelli -4

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      I'm wanting Son a lot more than Ronaldo at the moment.

  12. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    ESR to Bowen or Raphina????

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen

    2. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t buy Raphinha man - he’s great but only 1 goal contribution that wasn’t a pen in the last 7 weeks. In a shocking team with average fixtures

      1. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ta

    3. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen if any. Why get rid of ESR? Worried about his minutes? Upcoming Fixtures?

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is getting Martinelli short term thinking or is he a good option?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Short. Fixtures not great after this week

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Short term and knee jerk based on a haul.

  14. Kevtheotter
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Start 2

    1. Coady
    2. Dennis
    3. Wilson
    4. Watkins

    1. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Coady & Watkins

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      2 and 4 in best form. I'd always start an attacker over a defender when in doubt.

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I still own Wilson aswell. I'm sure like me, you've had other fires to put out. But goodness he's stinking my team out. Anyway, 2 & 3

      1. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry, 1 & 4

    4. NABIL - FPL otai

      1&3

    5. Boberella

      2&4

      2&4

    7. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      bench Dennis and Wilson, out of those 4, i believe

  15. Ray85
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Foden and Mount for Son and Martinelli for -4?

    Not too confident in Chelsea at the mo and need to get off the Pep rotation wheel....

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Goodness no. Think of those 2 transfers in isolation. Fodens every bit as good if not better than Son and Mount is a great option and fantastic differential.

      1. Ray85
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe just Mount to Martinelli? Chelsea look dreadful at the mo and have some difficult fixtures whereas Arsenal have Norwich.

        Foden may be better but no point if he's not playing. At least Son is guaranteed 90 mins and he looked great against Liverpool...

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Martinelli and Mount have the same amount of points in the last 6 matches as well u know.

        1. Ray85
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah but Chelsea have a harder fixture and also ravaged with covid. Have a feeling that game may be called off too so will wait and see!

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    Hi all,

    Ramsdale (Sanchez)

    TAA Cancelo James (White Livra)

    Salah Bilva Jota Foden (Brownhill)

    Lacazette Watkins Dennis

      I'd be inclined to play White over Watkins or Dennis.

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

        Hmmm, actually being that you already have Ramsdale, maybe not.

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who to bench?

    A. Foden (LEI)
    B. ESR (nor)
    C. Alonso (avl)

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C if you have other Chelsea defensive cover?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes James

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

      As you have James then A

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

        * oops meant C!

    Planning to play WC in 20 so may as well use transfer this week- only .4 m in bank. What move would you make? Not really seeing an obvious one

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Cancelo
    Salah Foden Jota Saka Bowen
    Lacazette Antonio

    Guaita Alonso Dennis Livramento

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one. Maybe livra out

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

        Thanks- perhaps Davies.
        Not sure what will WC to in 20- shame you cannot cash out WC chip for 30 points added to score!

    2. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      None. Team is good to go!

    3. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Livra->Coady
      Or
      Antonio->Watkins ( as yo have Bowen)

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

      Tough, maybe just go for a popular potential price riser to give you more funds for WC. Martinelli could be it.

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

        Yes like idea of Martinelli rested tonight v Norwich but as have 3 Arsenal would be swapping Saka to Martinelli- do you think that’s worth a punt? And watch Saka haul if I do and blank if I don’t lol!

        1. Ray85
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          No, Saka is a guaranteed starter....

  19. Letsgo!

    Will u sell esr for saka?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      i wouldn't. not that i have either.

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

      Hmmm, potential to bite. Not sure I would.

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I had Saka a while back and it didn't work for me. Saka foes not score a whole pile. ESR has been Arsenals best player but still returning after his injury so I see the concern. I would still stick with ESR. Might make more sense to do the sideways move to Ode or Martinelli whom offers very good value. Still patience with ERS my recommendation.

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

    Who would you play?

    A) King
    B) Watkins

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I have a sneaky suspicious that Gerrard will have something up his sleeve for this tie. King and Dennis are due also. A toin coss

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

        Cheers.

  21. Team Bobcat
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I am very tempted to move for kane. No one in my mini league has him and with Son all the rage it could be a master stroke. Been playing this game long enough to know it could back fire too.

    Would mean getting rid of Rudiger and Jesus. I have been very patient with Jesus as have him since GW8 but has been a fail. Kane has to be better now going forward so boils down to losing Rudiger the concern.

    But I am committed to it. Will wait until Sunday morning for covid news first

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      This game is a funny game, isn't it?
      I'm tempting to have Jesus now, as I don't see any good FWD cost 9.0 or less apart from Watkins and Dennis (who will be Broja when he's out for AFCON)

      Jesus plays for the best team in the league and pretty much nailed (in Pep's standard)

      So as things stand, Jesus, Son, and Ramsey will be my next move (for Benteke, Mbeumo, and, unfortunately, Foden)

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Or, alternatively, James >> Dias (but it means I'll have to keep Benteke lol)

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

      I'm no advocate for Kane, that's for sure. But it sounds like your gut is telling you it's a breakaway move for your ML so probably should go with it.

      The outs to facilitate it seem fine to me.

    Thinking something like this If Ben Crellin DGW 21/22 assumptions turn out correct.

    WC DGW21 (11dgwp) BB DGW22 (13dgwp + TAA/Cancelo)

    Bachman De Gea
    Reguilon Dalot Lamptey TAA Cancelo
    Son Maddison Cornet Gallagher Martinelli
    King Kane Ronaldo

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Kane, Son, Ronaldo is wild to me.
      Given how the first half of the year has been - but of course makes complete sense now.

      Nice to see a plan like this - I've put no thought into it just yet.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You won't be wanting Cornet. 😉

      Crellin is leading you down the garden path, by the way. It's a complete waste of time to plan on the basis of his guesses.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Forget corona, DGW fever has arrived. Thats possibly 22 + 28 =50 players in two GWs (including captain 54)

        Why not Cornet, great DGW fixtures and rested with his injury.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          AFCON. He'll have no fixtures at all. 😆

          You can forget corona if you like. But it ain't going away and it isn't going to jump GW21-22 just to suit your pretty plan either.

          As for the rest, you are basing your numbers on Crellin's assumptions. I think they are flawed and are leading people down the garden path. But you must make your own mind up on that. I'm not going to explain it to you.

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks, forgot Cornet is from Ivory Coast.

            This is just my plan A if Ben is right. Probably not…or maybe50%. My plan will have to change like everyone elses. But I always think its better to have a plan than no plan.

    3. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Who’s Ben Crellin?

  23. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is it possible that Chelsea could play one of their postponed games from GW24/25 in GW22?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Wow that’s crazy. And here I was thinking I needed to move away from my 3 Chelsea players!

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

      Liverpool in GW21 and possibly Arsenal and ManC in GW22. Not great.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        So unpredictable those games. Could be very high scoring or end in low scoring stalemates.

    Sanchez
    Cancelo taa tierney alonso

    Gtg?

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would deffo play Bernardo over the likes of Dennis, Antonio and Smith-Rowe

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah might end up just bench ESR or Antonio

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Your team is too good if you are benching Bilva.

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

      No - play BSilva over Dennis

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

      I would play BSilva and Watkins over Dennis and Alonso.

  25. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would love to have Reguilon in starting 11, but who do I leave out?
    Correct to use Broja over Wilson and King?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Alonso
    Salah Son Martinelli Bernardo Jota
    Broja

    Bench: Reguilon, Wilson, King, Steele

    Thanks for the input my friends!

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’d probably be tempted to go King over Broja because Watford play so attacking, but yeah that’s a close one.

      Maybe Reguilon over Alonso because he’s playing at home. Also a close one though.

  26. Ragabolly
    • 14 Years

    Risers: Ødegaard (5.6)

    Fallers: Chilwell (5.6)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers Ragabolly!

    2. waldo666

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Chilwell going to be an absolute bargain from GW26

  27. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Wilson + Odegaard --> Ronaldo + Martinelli for -4?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would. Not yet though.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli seems to be the new darling so yea looks good

  28. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Somewhat surprised that Brownhill is extremely close to a drop to 4.3 with 3 games to make up.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He’ll probably only score 4 points total in those games.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        quite possibly but are there any playing 4.3s?

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

      Though easy change to 5 strong midfield
      3 Brownhill games is still only max 6 points 🙂

  29. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Play Dennis over ESR?
    Got All ESR point and first week of owning Dennis.
    So in a dilemma..

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’m currently starting ESR over Dennis but it might be a mistake as Dennis usually hauls on my bench.

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Dont see Dennis hauling at Wolverhampton

  30. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was just messing about and realised i could do Bilva + Foden >> Son &+ Martinelli for exact funds.....

    I then realised that i can't do it becasue too many Arsenal players had been selected already (Ramsdale ESR & Tierney)

    didn't think i would say that this season haha.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      i can however do Bilva + Antonio >> Son + Broja for exact funds, any takers on this move for a -4? 🙂
