    So much firmino love is making me vomit. Surley people aren't really considering him ?
    Have I missed anything ?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You probably missed his two silky smoothe goals vs Arsenal

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Starting to find his feet, not bad fixtures, up top as a midfielder. But yep there are doubts for me but you never know.....

    3. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think its a great shout.. Next four games are Norwich Leicester Sunderland Villa.

      Hes a great differential with favourable fixtures and liver are due a run of form. Also playing up top.

      Ticks all the boxes for potential differential points for me.

      Altho i cant afford him n went Hendo as he is on pens and SPs.

    4. Je suis le chat

      Tread carefully re Firmino, I like him but will monitor if the pool sign someone like Long.

    5. Rafabio

      Does well in "big" games. Apparently he doesn't think United are a big club.

      Easy pass. Too inconsistent. Pool attack is a joke, too hit and miss.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Agree, am ok player in an average team. Way too hot and cold ( Lpool). Think people still recalling and their prospects by their 'big' name rather than current status.

        1. Rafabio
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Bingo, plus last year their "double" was A JOKE! Had triple Pool, NEVER AGAIN!

    6. King Henrik
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all. I will stay away from him just now. Will monitor the situation but I don't think Liverpool attack will do well in the next few gameweeks .. They are almost as poor as United.

  2. TheEgyptianKing

    Wollscheid -- Evans -- Simpson -- Alderweireld -- Bellerín

    I have 2 FT so who would you swap and who would you play (0.0 ib)

    1. Helpmenowbruh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      evens,alder,bellerin

  3. dejarik
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Let's assume Costa will be out for some time. Who to downgrade to get Aguero in?

    DDG - McCarthy
    Dier - Wollscheid - Simpson - Bellerin - Dann
    Ozil - KDB - Mahrez - Alli - Payet
    Kane - Lukaku - Costa

    1.0 ITB, need 1.6 more.

    Some ideas:
    DDG to Forster (+0.6)
    Dann to Daniels (+0.6)
    Alli/Mahrez to Gosling (+0.9 or +2.2)

    Suggestions?

    1. Starvaiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I don' think he'll be out for more than a week.

      Either way, getting Aguero is a good idea. I'lld d/g KDB probably.

      1. dejarik
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What about downgrading to a Chelsea player? Oscar/Willian?

  4. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A) Keep Mahrez
    B) Mahrez > Barkley/Silva

  5. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Walcott & Zouma to Barkley & Baines

    Is luring me as the way to spend my 2 frees

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bit unsure on Barkley, have you got lukkau as well, woudlnt have both

      1. Rafabio
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I think both are a good shout with these fixtures: SWA, NEW, stk, WBA, liv, avl, WHU

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm looking to get in Barkley and Baines too, but for Mahrez...

      In your case it looks like a no brainer though!

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks , yeah it does

      3 Everton but there are fixtures and I don't mind a double or treble up

      If lukaku scores I might get double points with a Baines / Barkley assist

  6. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morning all...got 2fts and 0.2itb...need to replace kolarov...Any advice?...was thinking Baines but 6.1 on an Everton defender seems mad!....do I just go for Daniels and save the cash?

    Ddg
    Kolorov dier Dawson Moreno Williams
    Ozil mahrez kdb payet alli
    Kun ighalo lukaku

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Jags? 5.1 , baps MAGNET

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Go for it with Baines, something different isn't he

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

        Hmmm

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Might be worth saving the cash to upgrade Ighalo in a week or so.

    4. Flynniesta
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm definitely considering Daniels. Wouldn't consider an Everyon defender

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

        Yeah...think I may regret investing 6.1 in a defender that plays for one of the worst defensive teams!

        He ain't gonna get massive attacking points every week...

  7. Helpmenowbruh
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Zouma to daniels or pva?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Neither

  8. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Want to bin Kolarov. Is Jags (4 goals last season methinks and baps magnet) the man to get, or Daniels? Glad to hear of other options, ta.

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Jags for me

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks HVT, might acquire ole Jags.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Acqua, coming around i see. I've seen the last two pool games which is why i'm onto him. And his fixtures are mint. And has a DGW coming potentially.

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      For whom?

    2. Christina.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ahaa

  10. TheEgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Do i do Bellerin to Jags

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't.

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      no

  11. HVT
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on Özil?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Fine for Chelsea

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Just 'tested' so really?

    2. Rafabio
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Word on the street is he'll be fine for the Chelsea game on Sunday.

  12. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morning gentlemens and ladies 🙂

    So who's the bandwagon THIS week?

    Personally think I'm going for Baines..

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just when I had settled on Jags.....,
      😉

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Haha I've the cash to burn HVT 😉

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          .1 short of Dann/Williams > Baines/Daniels 🙁
          Any chance you lend me .1 till I'm back in my feet?

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Ah go on so 😉

            You sure you want Daniels? Not much defensive prospects, not fantastic fixtures, I presume you're getting him in for the chance of a pen?

            1. HVT
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I hear ya, he just seems the 'in' guy right now!
              What about Souare or Delaney with Palace? Both 4.4 or is there anyone else?

              1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                I just sold Ward for Baines, held on to Wollsheid instead if that says anything 😛

                Getting the "in" guy right away has worked wonders so far this season and defence is an area that nobody seems to be able to call these days (I sold DDG for Lloris last week 🙁 ) so go with your gut!

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      According to transfers it's Wijnaldum

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Surely they're all casual though? Can't see anyone on here jumping on a WijWagon if they're worth their salt as a manager......... 😉

        *tongue in cheek*

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years

        4/6 away...City(h) in that 6...done sweet blow f all away from home this season...

    3. Rafabio
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bainesssssssssssssssssssss!

    4. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mirallas is the Punt of the week 🙂

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He looked good from what I managed to see.. Wouldn't touch him but him cutting inside could mean good news for Baines.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          "He looked good from what I managed to see.. Wouldn't touch him..."

          I might have said something similar when you were buying Firmino 😛

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Haha you know what I mean 😀

            I really like Mirallas as a player (not so much as a person from what I've seen of him) but he's so hit and miss as a fpl prospect..

            I guess he's similar to Firmino, but less fun to own and with less instagram posts 😎

            1. Pochecinno
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Less fun?

              He's less nailed on and will take penalties if he's in the mood 😉

              1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Sounds like torture.. 😉

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Seems to be Baines yeah

  13. LC1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Captain Lukaku (SWA) or Ighalo (NEW) ?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lukaku 😎

    2. Rafabio
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Of those two Lukakuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

      Going Kun, just owning Lukaku might be a differential.

      1. Trae44
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        50.3% ownership, differential?

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          This^

        2. Rafabio
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          He's being transferred out by the bucket loads to fund Kun.

          You conveniently ignored the word "might".

          Gracious.

          1. Trae44
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I know a lot of people have transferred him out, still not enough to make him a "differential" though. Even with the "might" saying a player owned my half of the teams in the game at the moment could be differential is stupid

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Luk is the highest owned striker

    3. Trae44
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rom

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Can't choose between Iggy Luka Kun...

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Leaning towards Luka or Kun.. Probably gonna go Kun.

    5. _Gunner

    Monreal Dann Walker Moreno Wollschied

    Dann > Baines? Would it make my defence really expensive, then?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years

      No.
      You can always get Simpson at some point.

          Au contraire!
          I'm trying to do same myself, I meant (no) it doesn't make your def look too expensive J.

    Hey guys, have 2 FT and don't want to change front 8. What would you change with this?

    Butland - McCarthy

    Bellerin - Francis - Alderweireld - Ward - Targett

    0.1 in the bank.

    Thanks!

    I did Lukaku out for Kane for last GW. Tempted to do vice versa again?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would.

  24. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone selling Lukaku before Swansea and Newcastle at home when he's owned by over half the players...

    ...Just give up.

    *cue double blank + red card*

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      i might just play Ashley Williams and hope for the best

  25. HVT
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best 4.4 def or under? (Have Simpson)
    A - Delaney
    B - Souare
    C - Smith
    D - Francis
    E - Targett

    Mahrez and Vardy or Lukaku and Alli?

      That would be Alli as a 4th mid

      Hmm...

      Mahrez > Alli
      Lukaku >>> Vardy

      So that leads me towards choosing the latter..

      Close for me. I'd stick with the combo you own currently.

    Assume lots of points are coming off the bench this week With players like Özil and Sagna missing out.

    Is there any stats showing how many points in average coming off the bench for an ongoing gw?

    Silva or Barkley for their next string of fixtures? Will have both kun and lukaku. Cheers

      Silva for me.

    Hey guys! How's it going?

    Anybody know what happened to Walker? Can't find anything about injury so I assume he was just rested and Trippier given a chance.

      Rested after busy schedule, still his spot I reckon D.

        Sounds about right, thanks mate.

      Rose / Davies
      Walker / Trippier
