    Like Rodri as an alternative to Foden at that price and enabler with an eye for goal.

    I have not seen a lot of fanfare around Trippier this time around. At 6m surely he's a no brainer? What am I missing?

      I'd pick him for good fixture runs but not a no-brainer for me.

        I hardly got anything right last season, but my timing in hopping on /off Trippier was one of them. Opening fixtures might warrant starting with him but considering his age & fitness issues last season, this deep run in the Euros might count against that

          Haha I was the opposite mate. I had him for a nice run of fixtures and he did sweet FA and then got injured!

      Suggestions that Newcastle are trying to sell him. Livramento showing that he's worth a starting place at right back.

      Not a standout unless Newcastle start performing

    4. el polako

      If Newcastle changed their fitness coaches and physios then I might consider him, otherwise will stay clear of all their constantly injured players.

      1. Hairy Potter

        They appointed a new director of performance this week. Plus no European football to contend with

        They could be options at the start of the season when Howe hasn't had a chance to run them into the ground yet!

          Not being in the Champion's League could help too.

      Everyone saying he’s too expensive.

      Until his first haul, at which point those same people will be taking hits to get him in.

      Will be 34 in September, but very interested personally

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 4 days ago

        34 is the new 26, specially for athletic players and players that didn't have problems with injuries like Trippier.

    7. JBG
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      He has shown as much promise this EUROs as he did before the season ended... so with all that, should be a very good pick.

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 4 days ago

        Specially for 6m

    8. im1974

      If Twatter/CC’s want him so will “everyone” else.

      Not for me as going cheap cheap at the back

    I wouldn’t have touched Rodri at 5.5 million

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Perhaps they are trying to tempt fools in with a luxury price?!

        Canada Goose jacket anyone? If it costs €750, it must be good!

  4. Ahtikullervo
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 4 days ago

    Both too expensive. In fantasy sense for that money far better options available...

  5. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Trippier is a class option if he’s gonna be a 90 minute man.

  6. Red Red Robins

    Rodri at 6.5.no chance. Unless new points scoring for tackles etc

      Why is “fans” in speech marks as if people who follow the team around are anything but

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        6 months, 4 days ago

        I think he is using the speech marks for a certain section of the fanbase which exists in other countries' fanbases too. As a fan you should be trying to cheer on and improve your nation's team and chances of winning. I don't think they do that at all. I think they have the opposite effect creating noise and controversy around the team and nation.

        Does the fact that they are prepared to smash up a city and get in a "fight" for their country impress people or make them more passionate fans? Not for me! These same muppets are going out and getting pissed at home every weekend and causing trouble. Football gives them the opportunity to do this collectively.

        The vast majority of football fans are fine but the very visible and vocal minority that tarnish it for everyone else IMO.

          I don’t think there has been any trouble caused by England fans this entire tournament. The scenes at Wembley were due to absolutely shocking security measures (or lack thereof)

          1. el polako
            • 7 Years

            So lack of security made thousands of people behave like animals?
            Interesting.

            I would argue that had more to do with heavy drinking since early morning, illegal drugs and very low IQ of the most.

              If a zookeeper leaves the gate open, would you blame the tiger for eating the visitors

                6 months, 4 days ago

                Not the best analogy.
                Tiger would follow his animal instincts.
                Humans are equipped in analytical brain, conscience and emotional intelligence.
                I guess with your example you agree with me that thousands of English fans are nothing but animals.

                  Give fans the chance to see their team in the first final for 50 odd years and they’ll take it. Official investigation ruled the FA had made a hash of it, so yeah the security is very much to blame.

              There is this, but I put my blame firmly in the hands of the FA. To state there will be 20,000 empty seats and then not put measures in place to stop those who thought they were entitled to them, some 100,000 people as it turned out, from breaking in and claiming them seemed like a poor move. In hindsight. Not sure the scenario will be repeated.

      Can we ban this guy for the repeated xenophobic posts? This is far from a one off

        Who rattled your cage?
        Forgetful zookeeper? 🙂

      Watch a programme call football police https://www.channel4.com/programmes/football-cops
      & you will see majority of all Club England supporters are very well behaved / monitor by our own dedicated police officers.
      (An eye open worth a watch especially with things after Covid-19 lockdown).

      The Atmosphere inside the stadiums has been good.

      The majority of problems is with police from the home country using heavy handed tactics against an old image of the 1980's & 1990s as well as hosting countries fans causing like Serbia

      One of my 8 Spaniards 🙂

    2. Bobby Digital

      Yamal?

    3. Assisting the assister

      Foden

    4. The Mentaculus

      Yamal

    Diaz at 7.5 could be a gem

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      His gametime is a worry if both Jota and Gakpo are fit

    2. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Man didn’t even score 10 goals last year playing for one of the most attacking sides in the league

    3. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Too much rotation on that side

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Meh, has his moments but hardly ever gets BPS and I'm just not convinced that he'll kick on to 12+ goals per season. May not be as nailed under Slot and/or could switch to RW potentially

    5. TheBiffas
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      With Gakpo being so good this euros in his favoured LW position, he may become first choice there over Diaz. Definitely a wait-and-see imo.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years

        Surely Nunez is getting banned though

    6. im1974
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      No output for 2 seasons. I’d take Gordon or Bowen at that price

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 4 days ago

    15 goal involvements 7m great price plays for 10
    17 goal involvements 6.5m no chance getting him, terrible price and plays for the champions

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 3 Years

      * 16 from 24 starts at a higher PPM than Rodri

    2. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Yeah the second one played 900 minutes more

  11. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Rashford seems to go on a boom-bust-boom cycle so could be worth a go I reckon. Salah Palmer Saka Rashford

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      No Haaland then?

    2. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Could have a good season again for sure. I quite like Højlund too.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years

      Garnacho’s spot to lose imo

    4. F4L
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      easy just to go with Bruno at his price imo

    England to win on penalties, fluked it all the way through the tournament.
    Undeserved winners

      If England win the tie, they deserve the trophy - that’s how sports work

      1. Digital-Real

        Put your patriotism to the side and be objective for once, England have had the easiest draw to the final and a poor ref decision in the last match. Been helped to the final.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 10 Years

          Not sure about the help bit but we’ve been bad and no one’s been able to beat us so…

          1. Digital-Real
            • 8 Years
            6 months, 4 days ago

            A penalty that should never have been awarded to me is being helped. We can debate it all day. Anyhow, enjoy your England victory tonight. It's been a long wait.

        0.5 less than whatever Hojlund is - can’t imagine he’d be starting
