Wood injury latest as Arsenal concede advantage to Spurs in top-four race

We round up the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from Newcastle United v Arsenal in our Scout Notes summary.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-improving website, and our own Premium Members Area.

ARSENAL DROP POINTS

An own goal from Ben White (£4.6m) and a Bruno Guimaraes (£5.0m) strike helped Newcastle defeat Arsenal 2-0 on Monday, which means the Gunners’ top-four hopes are out of their hands.

Tottenham Hotspur stay in fourth spot with a two-point lead over their north London rivals, and due to their vastly superior goal difference, only need a point at Norwich City in Gameweek 38 to book their Champions League spot.

Newcastle’s win, meanwhile, also confirms Chelsea’s place in next season’s Champions League.

In a fully deserved win, Eddie Howe’s troops were by far the better team from the off and still have a chance of finishing as high as ninth in the Premier League.

However, having earned 35 points from 18 league games in 2022, you suspect they will be finishing much higher than that next season.

WILSON DANGEROUS AS WOOD ABSENCE EXPLAINED

Callum Wilson (£7.1m) was named in the starting XI to face Arsenal on Monday after returning as a substitute in last week’s heavy defeat at Manchester City.

The former Bournemouth striker was afforded his opportunity after Chris Wood (£6.3m) was ruled out of the game with a hip injury, but Howe confirmed the New Zealand international should be available for Sunday’s trip to former club Burnley.

“Delighted, delighted for him [Wilson]. He’s a key player for us, it’s a different dimension to our frontline. We hope he gets through the game in a really good physical way – but we are delighted he leads the team.

It was a slight hip injury for Chris [Wood] tonight. [It is] nothing major and we hope he will be back for our next match.” – Eddie Howe

As for Wilson, it was an excellent all-round display by the 30-year-old, as he gave Newcastle a totally different dynamic in the final-third with his pace and ability to make dangerous runs in-behind.

And while it’s unlikely he will be afforded much Fantasy attention so late in the season, he is perhaps one to keep in mind for Gameweek 1 of 2022/23, given his rate of returns since moving to St James’ Park.

“It was an unbelievable atmosphere. Early on in the season everyone wrote us off and we were relegated by Christmas time. But we’ve dug deep and proved everybody wrong. I’ve noticed a difference [coming back into the team]. I’m getting a lot more chances and we’re keeping the ball better. I watched Arsenal the other night and I knew their centre-backs had injury problems. As a striker I was licking my lips. I’ve worked so hard [to get back to fitness]. When you’re out injured you want to come back and make a difference.” – Callum Wilson

Equally impressive was Bruno Guimaraes, who has now been directly involved in five goals in his last six Premier League appearances.

TOMIYASU/SCHAR LATEST

Takehiro Tomiyasu’s (£4.5m) evening was cut short after he went down feeling his hamstring in the closing stages of the first-half.

The Japanese international was unable to continue, with Cedric Soares (£4.2m) replacing him at right-back.

“We don’t know we have to assess him, but he felt a muscular issue and we test him.” – Mikel Arteta on Takehiro Tomiyasu

For the hosts, they were forced into a concussion sub when Fabian Schar (£4.2m) had to be replaced after an arm to the head, which resulted in a caution for Eddie Nketiah (£5.7m).

“He wanted to stay on but it was the right decision I think” – Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar


Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar (Lascelles 49), Burn, Targett, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton, Almiron (Murphy 76), Saint-Maximin (Fraser 77), Wilson (Gayle 90+4)

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu (Cedric 39), White, Gabriel (Pepe 73), Tavares (Lacazette 62), Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe (Martinelli 53), Nketiah

    A. Alonso (current)
    B. Rudiger (exact funds)
    C. James (would need another move, WC38)
    Thanks

    In previous seasons, has the pattern been for FPL players to take more hits than usual?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      ... in GW38 compared to the rest of the season?

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It depends whether you are chasing or protecting your rank/ML position.

        As more people are chasing, I'd say above average hits, but thats just a hunch.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I'm thinking not taking a hit may be a differential if the template fails.

  3. ILOVEBAPS
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Please list best to 'less' here. To bring in under £8.5?
    A. Zaha
    B. Mount
    C. Madds
    D. Diaz

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Depends on Liverpool result tonight

      Probably BDAC

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      DCBA

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      BCDA

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Thanks all. 🙂

      Guess on average it works out as BCDA.
      Not much between C & D.

  4. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Went to bed early, I see Arsenal want to give Spurs a shot at CL football.

    1FT 1.5ITB

    Thinking Ramsey -> Trossard and bench Watkins. Good move?

    Sanchez
    Cancelo TAA Alonso Mykolenko
    KDB Son Mount Saka
    Watkins Richalison

    Pickford Ramsey Broja Schar

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      A good night’s sleep is very important.

        Enjoy every sandwich

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not for me. Brighton Home form not as good as away plus Trossard is a punt too far. How about Watkins & Ramsey to Nketiah & Maddison-4?

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

        Mykolenko 1st sub. I think Arsenal respond with goals last game at home.

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Depends on the remaining of this GW games but I would suggest Watkins and TAA to James and Vardy. (If we are suspecting possible TAA benching)

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Cheers for the inputs guys.

  5. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    what a waste saka has been...

  6. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If Salah looks likely to not start, does this look ok?

    Dias + Salah + Mateta --> Alonso + Son + Toney

    0.8 off Sess + Vardy instead of Alonso + Toney which hurts

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      looks okay to me. although it seems like salah will be ready to play

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        "Properly involved, bench or whatever, few minutes or start, i dont know"

        Think starting is definitely more unlikely than likely

  7. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who scores more GW38: Kane or James?

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane

  8. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best use of 1 FT for the below team for GW38? Currently thinking Richarlison -> Toney?

    Schmeichel
    Alonso - Cancelo - TAA
    Maddison - Mount - Saka - Zaha
    Kane (c) - Jesus - Richarlison

    Dubravka - White - Coutinho - Digne

    1.7 ITB

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think Jesus to Vardy would be more fruitful. Arsenal leaking goal for fun.

  9. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Will Kane give penalties to Son in final game?

    1. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Absolutely zero chance

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      doubt it

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If they have the game in the bag by then, I think so, yes otherwise not

    4. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      This is a guy who claimed and took Eriksen's goal a few years back. I doubt he'd let Son take the pen if they got one.

    5. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      When David Silva had his final game for Man City the collective group think was the other players would feed him the ball to score. So he was captained by many and blanked. KdB hauled and if you captained him instead great strides were made in FPL.

      Pick Son based on past performances, not on speculative changes to how Spurs will play.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good advice mr potato.

        Except the leading stats are picking not on form but on Xperformance in a given future fixture.

        Which is based on a weighting for historical club results, venue, match importance etc and player positioning and strike rate, quality etc. So largely form related.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Without past performance there is nothing to analyse.

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        So Gundogan captaincy is not an option, sigh...

      3. Username checks out
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Pick Son, final simple obvious answer

    6. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If 4-0 up maybe

  10. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How is this looking, should I bring in Chelsea defender? he below is for a -8....too much?

    Dubravka

    Laporte / Cancelo / Robbo / TAA

    Maddison / Mount / Son / Diaz / Saka

    Kane

    Jakupovic / Cash / Broja / Gelhardt

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Why take -8 in the last GW? Trailing by a big margin?

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        No, my ML is won and I am ranked 13,000 overall, sometimes hits pay off, perhaps -8 is too much.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't change a thing.

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        The above is with a -8

        I did Mahrez > Maddison
        Salah > Diaz
        Nketiah > Kane

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          It's a punt. Mahrez and Salah can start AND haul...

  11. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Foden to start in GW 38?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think he does, but can never be sure with Pep

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably.

      His talisman etc.

      Could be on for 9 points. I'm predicting points now. Going to crank up the Excel model.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cool. What's the model say about Maddison?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Let me check.

          Get him for dgw37, don't delay and Bowen too.

          The gold is glittering.

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Hahaha, that's funny. You made me laugh, thank you Sir.

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes...surely!

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How many penalties are Norwich conceding to Spurs anyhow?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      2

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Really, we need a predicted xPens algorithm. I'm sure someone can work out the interval conceded and awarded per team.

        Generally it's less likely that there's one for Kane, Nevermind to give Son another one.

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Nah, I'm just in quite a negative light after last night's result. Think our chances of Top 4 are virtually over.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Zero

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This!

    3. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If Son needs one goal to win golden boot, does Kane give him the penalty?

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Kane is selfish
        Son is not

        Bring those together, and there’s no way Son takes a penalty while Kane is on the pitch

  13. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Start one:

    A: Laporte
    B: Matip

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      *have Cancelo and Robbo starting

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Play all 4?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Matip

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        pretty much a guaranteed CS

  14. Cantonesque
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A FH38 that could be fun, I probably won't do it though! If Liverpool lose tomorrow, leaving out TAA and Salah opens up a world of possibilities.

    Dubravka
    Fofana / Sess / Cancelo / Chalobah
    KBD / Son / Bowen
    Kane / Vardy / Lukaku

    Steele / Tsimi / KDH / Delph. 0.2ITB

    Or go 3-4-3 via Chalobah>Johnson KDH > Gray, 0ITB.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If I was going with that frontline, my team would be:

      Raya
      James, Matip, Jansson, Sessegnon
      Son, Diaz, Mount
      Kane, Vardy, Luka

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Are you still tempted?

        If Liverpool win tonight and Salah is back in the squad for Sunday the whole narrative changes again.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Not really sure tbh. Think I'm limiting myself to various possibilities/differentials if I proceed with this draft.

          By going for just 2 premium upfront, I can play with more options.

          Salah is certainly not in my plans.

      2. Cantonesque
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nice! KDB feels non-negotiable to me, in reality I will likely be 4-4-2 without Lukaku. Was just interested in if it would be doable to have that front 3 plus Son and KDB, and was surprised that I could even keep Cancelo.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yep, its not that tough to get that frontline. Just that options will get pretty limited.

      3. Cantonesque
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Also Jansson is fantastic value but you have to fancy Leeds to score. Lose, but score.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I think they will concede, just for attacking threat. He could get a set piece goal.

          1. Cantonesque
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I'll take another look for the punt value. But tragically, I know I will end up doing the most boring FH that just replicates the team my closest ML chaser has. One day I will have to play this game just for fun and OR.

  15. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Final transfers, assuming i will be chasing a 20+ point lead and most will transfer in kane for 38, i already have Son.
    A) Digne+Jesus > Sessegnon+Vardy (-4)
    B) Jesus+KDB > Kane+Maddison (-4)
    C) Jesus+KDB > Lukaku+Eriksen (-4) punt
    D) Richa+Jesus > Toney + Vardy (-4)
    Thanks in advance

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D

    2. Cantonesque
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I like A

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't fancy Jesus home to Villa in a must win?

      It's tough to call because of Sterling, Mahrez and Grealish.

      If i was Pep I'd bench Grealish until at least the 70th minute and keep it focused on the team.

  16. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which option:

    A) White
    B) Alonso -4
    C) Eriksen -4
    D) Toney -4

    1. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

  17. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which front seven do you prefer? (Both have Dennis)

    A) Son, Diaz, Bernardo, Mount, Diaz (Odergaard) Kane, Nketiah

    B) Son, Diaz, KDB, Maddison, (Odergaard) Jesus, Nketiah

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

      But given the choice I'd avoid Arsenal attack and defence.

      If Everton beat Palace this week it could be an open beach football game at the Emirates on Sunday.

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I’m stuck with the two cheaper arsenal options as Salah is the bigger issue. I could do Salah and Odergaard to Mount and Maddison, leaving the front right of

        Son, Diaz, Maddison, Mount, Bernardo, Jesus, (Nketiah)

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Salah may be back.

          1. Going Home
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Think that money is better used elsewhere. Title all but gone and UCL final the following week.

            Comes down to Kane v KDB really. Leaning to Kane for sale reasons as above: title gone. Kane will always want more goals

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              The title is not gone.

              All Liverpool have to do is see it out with wins over Southampton and Wolverhampton.

              Hoping Villa muster up a draw at City.

              The title is v much still on.

                Agree to disagree. Comfortable win for city on Sunday and very little cause for Liverpool to focus on scoring bags of goals

    Chelsea lead the clean sheet odds for gw38.

    Closely followed by Liverpool. Then Manchester City and Spurs.

    I've got a hunch that Wolves score in a say 2-1 win for Liverpool.

      Not sure they have showed any improvement in attacking potential recently.

      Zero goal vs them in last 3 games. Zero goal vs them in last 3 home games as well.

      Its possible but I expect them to keep a CS. Not sure about Chelsea's prospect though.

        Yeah, Chelsea aren't brilliant at keeping a clean sheet at home.

        I'm just giving Wolves more credit and they've improved again recently.

    Update on Salah & Virgil? Likely to see some mins tonight?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think that's hopeful and the press conference was that Salah is in the match day squad for Sunday.

      Not at Southampton.

  20. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Looking at a possible -12 to get Vardy/Kane, James/ Alonso etc.
    A - Kane + Maddison
    B - Luis Diaz + Vardy

  21. Burger

    Have to pay one of Saka or Nketiah. Which would you go for?

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wouldn’t take a hit to get rid

    2. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      How much are you gonna give them?

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah that was terribly worded, they should be paying me after last night's tripe 😆

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          A big mac and large fries, a whopper or a club sandwich?

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Mount the obvious route into the Chelsea attack against Watford?

    Would you swap Maddison, Bowen or Diaz to get him in?

    (also have Son and Kevin De Bruyne).

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wouldn’t transfer out any of them..

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Considering his record against bottom half teams, he is a captaincy material imo.

      probably over Diaz/Bowen

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Bowen out of this lot! If you feel punty, Lukaku could go big.

  23. GE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    1) Zaha -> Max 9.1, who?
    2) Richarlison -> Max 9.7, who? Take a hit to get Vardy?
    3) Schmeichel -> Mendy/Ederson/Allison/Lloris
    4) Other?

    (1FT, 2.2 itb)

    Schmeichel
    TAA/Cancelo/Laporte/Matip/Alonso
    KDB/Son/Mount/Zaha
    Nkietah

    Bench: Foster, Richarlison, Gordon, Dennis*

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You might have to do 3.

      Of those options three opponents are amongst the lowest scorers along with Burnley, so perhaps that rules out Ederson as Villa have a more capable attack.

      Norwich are at home and Pukki can score so perhaps flip a coin on Allison or Mendy.

      Allison is most likely to play. Could Mendy be a surprise rotation?

  24. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I almost never play this way but if you had to block a player who would it be out of James and Kane? Rival has both but i have KDB.

    1. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane is much more consistent

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        True. I do already have Son though. And i feel like WAT will get absolutely smashed?

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      KaneYe

  25. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    1 FT only, 1.5 ITB.. seems like I will have to take a hit to improve this team (ML rival who is currently 5pts behind me has son, kdb, salah)..

    What to do here? Salah + Dennis to Bowen + Kane?

    Schmeicel Foster
    TAA Cancelo Laporte Alonso Matip
    Salah Saka Kulu KDB KDH
    Nketia Dennis Pukki

    1. tibollom
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Bowen could also be Mount...

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah in the gw38 match day squad

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        yea thats the concern.. given the ML rival players available, what do you think I should do? Maybe Laporte + Dennis out?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Depends how many you want to start at the back?

          Dennis plus one. Does cashing in on Cancelo afford you much better up front?

          There's a possibility you won't have a playing keeper but if like this week there's loads of goals there may be less points in goal for everyone else.

          1. tibollom
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            yea worried about Schmeicel but as you say, might just have to risk it.. I guess I could do Cancelo but still leaves me short to get Kane/Son.. which is what I am worried about given he has Son..

      2. Max City
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        wait until SOU game to decide

  26. SpaceCadet

    Any early suggestions here folks? 1ft, 0 itb.

    1. Holmes

      Havertz goes out if he is still unfit. Watkins to Toney.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Thinking Watkins havertz > toney mount/ maddison.

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Lose White if possible

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        On top of what has already been mentioned

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Don't think it's worth a double hit mate. Might just play him and hope he doesnt score another og.

  27. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Coutinho to:

    A) Foden
    B) Diaz
    C) Havertz (if fit)
    D) Someone else up to 8.6

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If we can be sure Diaz will play then Diaz it is

  28. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Wonder what Salah's actual ownership is now. LiveFPL has 8% in top 10k and around 25% in my rank zone. But thats probably because of FH.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah and Son score at double the rate of any other midfielder.

      Would you go back to Salah on FH home to Wolves?

  29. Catona75
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Already have Kulusevski and Barnes. Ising Salah as vas-cow. Which to choose?
    A) Luis Diaz and Kane or
    B) Kane and Vardy - 4
    C) Keep Salah

    1. Catona75
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      «Using» and «cash»…

    Hi DZ

    Any priority moves here? I guess salah to KDB or son if he's out. Not sure anything else is worth a hit

    Ederson
    Matip, alonso, Cancelo
    Havertz, mount, saka, Salah, kulu
