Scout Picks - Bus Team

FPL Gameweek 36 Scout Picks early selection: Big on top two and Son dilemma

We’ve put together our Scout Picks ‘bus team’ ahead of Double Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

For those who haven’t seen this article series before, it’s essentially a rough, first draft of our regular XI, which gets finalised and published much closer to the deadline.

Those final picks will stay as they are and cement our weekly selection based on the Scout Squad long-list entries, midweek minutes and fresh injury updates but this ‘bus team’ – a term coined by the Always Cheating boys – will discuss the players who are likely to be in the running.


Here it is, then: our early thoughts on the runners and riders up for selection in Gameweek 36, followed by the preliminary picks themselves.

THE LIKELY LADS

Salah's brace, Mane's form and United's change of shape: FPL notes 2

The final Scout Picks will unquestionably feature significant representation from both Liverpool and Manchester City, the two title challengers who have scored the most goals this season and kept the most clean sheets. Sometimes FPL seems a simple game when you boil it down to the basics, doesn’t it? The one thing out of our control, of course, is game-time, something that was all too evident on Saturday when Mohamed Salah (£13.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) were benched for their respective sides.

Substitute duty in Gameweek 35 does however make back-to-back starts in Gameweek 36 seem that bit likelier (if not certain), so it’s no surprise that the above trio all feature prominently in our thoughts. Salah and Alexander-Arnold are top in their respective positions for expected goal involvement (xGI) over the season, while xG-defier De Bruyne has played a direct part in nearly 50% of the goals than City have scored in his presence this calendar year. Early substitutions remain a tad offputting with the Belgian, admittedly.

Jurgen Klopp’s post-match comments about rotation and Andrew Robertson (£7.3m) might steer us away from the Scot but there’s always Joel Matip (£5.2m), a starter in the last 19 Premier League matches that he has been available for and a regular benchee in Europe, as a cost-cutting route into the Liverpool defence for a double-up. Two City defenders meanwhile could prove to be a risk-free gamble too, if the league leaders are down three options at the back through injury – news is still awaited on that. Joao Cancelo (£7.1m) and Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) have both started over 93% of the league matches that they have been available for this season but we’re probably going to have to stop mentioning the fact that Cancelo loves a shot, given that he has only scored from one of his 69 efforts in 2021/22…

So far, so far boring with the City and Liverpool options, and in truth, the Scout Picks has always erred on the side of caution and away from the maverick punts. Those riskier picks will be better assessed after the midweek minutes in the UEFA Champions League are logged but there are some juicy-looking differentials if our appetite for jeopardy is whetted: Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m) can’t be beaten by any FPL asset for non-penalty xGI in his last six matches, for example, while Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m) averages more points per start than any other FPL player bar Salah and Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) in 2021/22.

Arsenal, too, look like certainties for Scout Picks inclusion, with the affordable cost of their players a persuasive argument as much as anything else. A penalty-taking, corner-delivering Bukayo Saka (£6.7m), who has 14 returns in his last 19 appearances, is tough to overlook, while Eddie Nketiah (£5.5m) is making a late charge for Bench Boosters and beyond. There were six shots attempted by the budget forward in an all-action Gameweek 35 showing, and while ‘xLiveliness’ won’t get you FPL returns, a cut-price striker leading the line for one of the division’s leading scorers is not to be sniffed at – particularly when forwards are flopping en masse elsewhere.

IN CONTENTION

The best FPL goalkeepers for a Gameweek 34 Wildcard

The ultimate knife-edge pick this week is Son Heung-min (£11.0m). Had Tottenham Hotspur replicated their limp showings of Gameweeks 33/34 on Sunday, then the Spurs-to-City exodus would have intensified in FPL. Ninety minutes and 19 points later and suddenly Son is being bought by more managers than sold. Sunday’s brace of strikes reminded us just how accurate a finisher he is and has been for several years and not only is he adept at converting half-chances, he’s actually got the joint-best non-penalty xGI tally in the Premier League over his last six matches. The tough Gameweek 36 fixtures are the only dampener but Son has already scored against both Liverpool and Arsenal this season; he’s not currently in our Scout Picks ‘bus team’ for budgetary reasons but do not be surprised in the slightest if we somehow find a way to rejig funds around to squeeze him in.

If Son doesn’t make the cut, then Dejan Kulusevski (£6.3m) might not be a bad compromise. The rocket up the backside provided by Gameweek 35’s benching saw the Swede emerge revitalised as a second-half substitute to provide two assists and, in doing so, he surely boosted his Gameweek 36 game-time prospects. Watered-down coverage of the Spurs attack might not sit well with many FPL managers but, since his Gameweek 26 full debut, Kululsevski has actually got more attacking returns (12) than every other Fantasy asset bar the two Spurs premium picks. Even then, the loanee is only two behind Son.

Two teams with more appealing fixtures in Double Gameweek 36 are Leicester City (Everton and Norwich City, both at home) and Chelsea (Wolves at home, Leeds away). The problem with both sides is that we might not get two starts out of our coveted assets: the Foxes are in Europa Conference League action less than 72 hours before they face Everton, while Chelsea contest the FA Cup final three days after their trip to Leeds. Rotation could be rife then (we have already seen Brendan Rodgers ring the changes in the last few Gameweeks), with Kasper Schmeichel (£4.9m) about the only player from either side who looks assured of back-to-back starts.

But it’d be wrong to dismiss other players out of hand. Marcos Alonso (£5.6m), who has had an improbable 14 shots and created as many chances in his last five appearances, could easily haul against a wilting Wolves side who were abysmal at both ends of the pitch on Saturday. And even if James Maddison (£6.9m) was only handed a home match against Norwich City, we’d fancy his chances of continuing a purple patch that has seen him deliver 15 attacking returns in his last 19 run-outs.

Rotation is not something we’re likely to see at Everton, by contrast, with a survival fight on their hands. But the Toffees are on the road twice in Gameweek 36 and have the division’s worst away record, losing all six of their matches outside of Goodison Park under Frank Lampard. Nevertheless, a distracted Leicester and a Championship-bound Watford are very decent opponents. Sitting top among all FPL options for xGI over his last six matches, and having scored four goals in that time, Richarlison (£7.5m) is swiftly moving up the forwards’ watchlist – providing he avoids a ban for flare-flinging, of course. Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) is another name on the radar, although all four of Everton’s clean sheets under Lampard have come on Merseyside.

THE LONG SHOTS

Assessing Teemu Pukki and Norwich's midfield options in FPL 2021/22

There are plenty more ‘doublers’ besides the players and teams mentioned above but they feature in this section for a reason.

Norwich and Watford are two of the clubs not mentioned so far, with the former mathematically relegated and the latter almost certain to follow suit. Teemu Pukki (£6.0m), joint-top among FPL assets for non-penalty xGI in his last six matches, and the game’s cheapest starting goalkeeper, Ben Foster (£4.1m), are passable Bench Boost options this week but they’re almost certainly not going to trouble a cherry-picked best XI.

Wolves assets are similar non-starters based on form and fixtures, although Leeds’ double-header against Arsenal and Chelsea might not be quite as bad as it first looks: Raphinha (£6.4m) could be facing a suspect Nuno Tavares (£4.3m) before encountering what may be a much-changed Blues side ahead of the aforementioned FA Cup final appearance.

The visit of Liverpool makes up one of Aston Villa’s two Double Gameweek 36 fixtures, meanwhile, and given that the Villans haven’t won a single game against a top-eight club under Steven Gerrard, it’d be a pragmatic mindset to maybe consider Ollie Watkins (£7.5m) and Philippe Coutinho (£7.1m) more as ‘single’ Gameweek options. These two will likely come back into the Scout Picks equation in Gameweek 37 but there does appear to be an abundance of more preferable mid-price alternatives this week.

Finally, a word on one massive premium name that we haven’t discussed yet: Harry Kane (£12.5m). There’s little wrong with his underlying stats (he’s the best Premier League forward for xGI since Antonio Conte took charge) but the fixtures, the form of the cheaper Son, a tally of one goal in six matches and with premium midfield picks elsewhere all vying for our investment, he looks like an outside bet for the Scout Picks at this early stage.

    If Robbo starts tomorrow, I’m 100% sure he’ll be benched in dgw 36 vs Villa

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      What if he starts and gets subbed off after an hour?

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I still think he won’t start vs Villa except he is rested before that game

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'm not 100% sure but would make sense and was heavily implied by Klopp.

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Fa cup final vs Chelsea after the Villa game. Would still be interesting to see what Klopp does

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'm afraid so.

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      He is a fit boy though

    5. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years

      You couldn't be 100% sure...

  2. AppleDunk

    Bottomed.

    Which 2 City players are must haves?

    A) Cancelo
    B) Laporte
    C) KDB
    D) Foden
    E) Other?

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      None are must haves but a defender and attacker are recommended.

      CDAB is the order i'd choose.

      1. AppleDunk
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks for the reply.

  3. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I think it's safe to say that Tottenham have the toughest DGW fixtures out of all teams. Their main motivation is to finish in Champions League places and they bounced back this weekend. I might be biased but I don't see them winning twice or scoring 3 goals per match. I don't see clean sheets either. First game is at Anfield which is a fortress. Second game is the famous North London Derby which is fairly unpredictable and we all know form goes completely out the window in this one.

    Would you consider going without them (Kane, Son, Kulusevski) if you were using free hit this gameweek?

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      This is obviously an attempt to fight against the current top 10k template, who will probably double up on their attack.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes I would. I'm considering getting Kulu, but only because GW38 is a factor. FH team doesn't need them unless you have money to burn and nothing better to spend it on

    3. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      counter argument is pool have a harder schedule fatigue wise, Spurs are better on the break and NLD could go in any direction

      Currently have no Spurs on my BB, but i don't love it

    4. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Son has already scored V City, Arsenal and Liverpool this season. Guys fixture proof.

      I's still rather KDB out the 2 though and i'm a Son owner.

    5. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If I was on a FH I would go without them. Especially if you are chasing. If Madrid beat City I’d be all in on City players I think.

    6. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Think it’s the perfect dgw for Spurs attack

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This

    7. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Son will score against Liverpool
      Kane will score against Arsenal

      Just my opinion

    8. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'm going in with KDB, Mané & Son. Pretty sure you could afford Salah over Mané on FH if you prefer. Like this balance over City/Pool premium double up

  4. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Best option for GW36 & 38 only?

    A) KDB & Maddison
    B) KDB & Kulusevski
    C) Son & Foden

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B for me

    2. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I like B

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Close between B and C, but C edges it for me. Not having Son vs Norwich in 38 could be a rank killer.

      Definitely not A though, don't see the appeal of Maddison.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        If Leicester get knocked them I think Maddison could be worth a look.

        Slightly worried about Foden’s mins also if he starts against Madrid. Doubt he will start both then.

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    6. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    7. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      C

    8. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cheers all!

  5. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years

    Hi fellas thinking of taking a -16 hit for bench boost this week and then free hitting 37. Are these worth a -16?

    Pieters, Barnes, Coutinho, Ronaldo, Kane, Weghorst

    Cancelo, Foden, Salah, Dennis, Jesus, Nketiah.

    Still would have 0.8 ITB any thoughts?
    I am 60 points behind ML rival

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Why not FH this week and save your -16?

  6. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Matty Cash to Cancelo worth a -4?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes if you're FHing in GW 37

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

        Agreed

  7. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years

    Do people prefer A or B for 36 and 38? No other Arsenal or Spurs.

    A) Kulu

    B) Saka

    Thanks!

    1. Deulofail

    Last Man Standing Update (31 teams)

    Current safety score = 51
    Top score = 83 by Chris Costa
    LMS average = 51.16 - 1.03 = 50.13
    Captains played = 96.77%

    Will probably rise to 52 if any of these teams get 51 or more

    I've tweaked my FH team a little bit, what do you think?

    Pickford.
    TAA, Cancelo, Alonso
    Salah, KDB, Saka, Mount, Foden
    Richarlison, Nketiah.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No chelsea. I like it otherwise

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I'm torn, as both fixtures are decent for Chelsea so i could still get some points. I cant think of who else I could swap them for apart from Robertson

      2. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Chelsea have great fixtures so there is no reason to go without Chelsea players.

      3. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Mount is in there

  10. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Do y'all think Barnes is a better or a worse option now that he didnt feature at all against Spurs?

    I personally think he was saved for the 2nd leg Roma game (he was pretty good when he came on for Leicester in the first leg and got an assist too)

    Regardless of them winning or losing in the Conference league, dgw36 mins in terms of fatigue shouldnt matter to Rodgers and Leicester.

    Would you keep him in your team if you had other issues in your team?

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    TC Cancelo mad? Or just stick with Salah

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      That will still be differential in EO (salah)

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Nah, he's not as attacking as at right back. I'm going KDB with Salah as VC

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Thanks folks

  12. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Funny how GW changes everything but my stick to my original plan after Captaining Son against Leicester.

    BB36 (only chip left)

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Davies, Robertson
    Salah (c), Son, Coutinho, Saka, KDH
    Nketiah, Werner, Pukki

    Was going from Son to KDB and Werner to Richarlison -4.

    Providing Richalison is OK to play,, shall I still to my original plan?

    Any thoughts??

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Werner to Richarlison is good for the 2 DGWs. I'm not sure Son to KDB for a hit is worth it, depends if your chasing rank or not

  13. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Should I free hit from current team ?
    Pope
    Alonso Robbo Trent
    Mount Salah Kulu Saka
    Nketiah Pukki Kane

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No

      FH37 is better

    2. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't, I think there's a bigger chance for success next week

  14. AW127
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I'm on FH37.

    Is Sa, Digne, Mount --> Steele, Laporte, Foden (-4) worth it? Sa would be on my bench both weeks anyway.

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Absolutely not. Mount and Digne could do well this week. Starting off 8 behind makes no sense for me

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No mate

      Is Mont to Foden possible?

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    BB36, FH37. Which move guys?

    A. Sterling >> Son
    B. Sterling >> KDB
    C. Sterling+Mount >> Son+Foden (-4)
    D. Any other ideas?

    Foster
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Laporte
    Salah, Sterling, Saka, Mount

      Mount

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    How does Kane, Martinelli, Doherty and Weghorst to Nketiah, KDB, Laporte and Gelhardt for -8 sounds?

    FH in GW37.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah Saka Kulusevski Martinelli Mount
    Kane Weghorst

    Foster Broja Schar Doherty

    1. Bobby Digital

      Move Doherty and Weg for free...

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This is probably the sensible option

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Yeah, Weghorst to fodder and Doherty to Laporte is the sensible move I guess

  18. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Which move is best here ? Already look in at Wood to Nkietah

    A) Sa to Ederson -4

      Thanks everyone. Interesting that some are suggesting save. Rodrigo at risk with Bamford returning and two hard fixtures albeit fighting for their PL lives. Wood to Nkietah allows me bench him. Sa, again hard fixtures to Ederson should pay back this week alone. Maybe I’m not looking at it right

    Really torn on Free hit or Bench Boost this week I saved a transfer to BB but now thinking Free Hit might be best:

    Ramsdale / Foster

    TAA, James, Emerson / Pieters*, Jonny

    Barnes, Kulusevski, Mount, Saka, Couts

    kane, ronaldo / Weghorst.

    Thoughts fellas BB or Free hit?

  20. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Which looks best?
    Thinking BB36, FH37. 2ft, 0itb
    A) Doherty, Mount, Broja to Tavares, Foden, Nketiah (-4)
    B) Doherty, Mount, Broja to Laporte, Gordon/KDH, Nketiah (-4)
    C) Doherty, Mount, Kane to Cash, KDB, Rich (-4)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Doc and Broja out, no hit needed

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        To Tavares and Nketiah? Only one city?

    2. Boz
      • 11 Years

      I really like B with Gordon.

      1. waltzingmatildas

        Cheers mate. That's the one I'm leaning towards

  21. BobB

    Will Ben White be back and will he replace goalscoring Holding?

  22. bobbyg
    • 12 Years

    I have FH, BB and WC available. Ive 13 dgw players, one being King.

    Any advice as to how to use my remaining chips?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

    Worth -8 on BB ?
    A) Broja -> Dennis
    B) Haverz -> Foden

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Maybe just the first one?

    2. Kaptenen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Think Havertz will be benched for Leeds so would probably do both

  24. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Early thoughts on the best trio:

    1) Laporte, KDB and Nketiah
    2) Holgatr, Son and Jesus

    Playing BB too

    Cheers all

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1 is the safe option, 2 could be very interesting though

    With the fixture congestion, picking players with assured gametime is a clear minefield. I really wanted Alonso + James, but I'd be amazed if either played much more than 90mins over GW36.

    That said, either of those players could score more pts in one fixture (facing out of form Wolves at home), than most would in two. Real dilemma.

    With all that taken into account, which 4 defenders would you pick this DGW, money no object?

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cancelo, Robertson, TAA, Laporte

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Trent Cancelo Laporte Dias

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cancelo, Trent, Robertson, James

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      After the defeat vs Everton i think we will see a full Chelsea team vs Wolves.The most certain cs of gw36 imho.Against Leeds away it's tricky.I will probably use my FH and my current 4 defenders are TAA,Cancelo,Alonso,Rudiger.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      TAA Cancelo Laporte Rudiger.

      Robbo due a rest and Chelsea wingbacks likely rested for FA cup final

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I own both and am starting both:

        James might play centre-back against Leeds to "conserve energy" -and while Alonso might be rested, he could also score 21 points in one match.

  26. Boz
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this hit?

    Joao Pedro + RJames to Richarlison + Digne (-4)?

    BB36, No FH

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      yes

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Can you afford Cash over Digne?

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        0.1 short unfortunately. I like Digne's potential though

    3. Kaptenen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Would not lose R.James for a hit, looked very good vs united and think he might have a big haul left with the fixtures for chelsea 🙂

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Me neither, but I can't see him starting both games next week, whereas Digne and Rich have 5 game left

  27. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Current team looks pretty good without any moves, will FH37 so how could I use my FT to improve this lot?

    Schmeicel
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - James
    Salah - Foden - Mount - Saka - Kulu
    Kane

    (Foster - White - Gelhardt - Ferguson)

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      That is a very good team. Unless you wanted to do something like James to Laporte/Digne or Mount to Coutinho, I'd just burn the transfer

      1. Kaptenen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Cheers!

    2. THFC4LIFE

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA James Alonso White Ake
    Salah Saka Foden Kulu Raphinha

    Mateta the only player without DGW.

    Thanks

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      If you think Ake starts both then yes. I'd prefer Pickford especially if you don't have a FH left.

      1. YoungPretender
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Sorry, should have said. I have FH, which I’ll be playing next week.
