We need to talk about Kevin… again!
It’s amazing what a difference 1 solitary player can make to a GW. With 7 of our players, including our captain, gifting us just 21 points we were going into the Liverpool game staring down the barrel of yet another disappointing red arrow. Alexander-Arnold surpassed this on his own with an amazing 24, and Mane chipped in with an assist too. The outlier from all this was Alli who had earlier grabbed us a goal. For once our latest signing also did something as Grealish got us an assist too. In the late game Jimenez got us a goal and an assist leaving us on a total of 70 points for the week which meant a fair jump back up the ranks to some degree of acceptable decency; we gained about 50,000 places and now sit in approximately 60,000th according to some ‘outside of FPL sources’ (at the time of writing the actual official ranks are still updating, but you get the gist; we are in the green).
Going into GW20 we have 1 free transfer and £3.7m in the bank. Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW20 Transfer(s)
Some things just aren’t meant to be. On at least 3 separate occasions this season we have talked about / saved up money for bringing Kevin into our team but for whatever reason it’s just never happened. Well, make that 4! Last time out we stated our intention to buy him this week for Zaha but we were fully aware that we were leaving ourselves vulnerable as it was dead on the money. A -4 to secure it early was discussed but at that point it made little sense as it meant benching one of a seemingly strong front 8. We did however also agree that if we were scuppered then we would still be happy enough to proceed with Zaha away to the Saints and simply hope that it was a blessing in disguise and that Pep would rescue us with his rotational habits.
And sure enough a pesky overnight price change means that we are yet again left to talk about Kevin for another day.
To confirm then we have HELD our transfer
Captain – Sadio Mane
Not the easiest fixture on paper this week, but almost certainly the strongest team, and having seen Liverpool make Leicester look like Lincoln we are hoping Mane can make Wolves look like Wycombe.
For the record he got 3 votes, Vardy got 1 and Alli got mentioned along the way too, mainly as a vice.

Jimenez and TAA to the rescue.
Why are you picking on Wycombe that’s my local team (and I’m taking my boy to his first game on New Year’s Day!) :nono:
Please rate my team below
I have 1 FT and 0.2 in bank also whom to captain ??
I think your team is set up well. Captain KDB could be very good too.
looks very good, even with gk rotation options. solid
Impressive and with 3.7itb you guys are just showing off at this point :big_boss:
Hardly, we just keep failing to spend it!
Great score! Taking TAA out hurt my score but I don’t think I can get him back really.
1FT and £0.5m.
Maguire was a stupid punt but replacing him with TAA is out of reach without a hit.
Any news on Alli? Don’t really have the bench to support injuries!
Thanks in advance
Just roll it and hope AT.
Cheers mate
Great article fellas. By a strange coincidence I saw Pompey beat Wycombe only yesterday.. Mane would have a field day against them.
I plucked the first lower league ‘W’ out of the air that I came to!
Think this is the final WC team I will go with.
Good to go?
Captain choice ok, or maybe needs swapping?
Hard to argue with. Not sure I’d have want to be relying on your middle two defenders and GK but I suppose you have Lundstram and Cantwell on the bench.
Could I maybe swap one of the defenders for someone? Not much to go for. No money left in the pot as I have spent it all.
Should I play Cantwell instead of either Kelly or Stephens?
Spurs having been leaking goals, and Cantwell has been scoring of late.
Yeah. Over Kelly
Thanks AT.
Change made.
Good luck this weekend mate, and everyone else.
