    morning all

    Got quite a good team with:

    Foster/(Schmiechel)
    Stones, Shaw, Williams, (Walker, Paredes)
    Hazard, Redmond, Barkey, Dier, (Fletcher)
    Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Gray

    Any thoughts on the subs? Am tempted to bench Gray instead and go for a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. Chelsea do not look great defensively and TH are also mixed at the moment with Dier not having done/played much.

    Cheers for any input!

      don't bench gray - insane playing either dier or fletcher ahead of him - he's on pens for starters

      I'd be looking to move Dier on for a 5.5 with more goal threat after the break

      I'd actually play walker over him looking at your bench and go 4-3-3!

      Transfer out Dier imo if FT left. Else play Walker even if Spurs concede. He has more chance of getting attacking returns than Dier. Game may also end 0-0 draw.

      Dier will get you 2/3 points ever game .
      Ramirez (or+0.1 for snodgrass) or any proper attacking mid is better
      (Schmeichel downgrade could free up funds when stuck)

      Dier isn't a great starting player. Likely to blank most weeks.

      If you've no transfers lefts this week, I'd leave the bench the way it is

      Cue an eric dier 90th minute headed goal if you get rid

      1. Killitzer

        thanks for all the replies. Dier on the bench with Fletcher ahead of him!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          7 years, 8 months ago

          Ahhh play walker ahead of fletcher!

    Ahoy lads
    I wanna fit Barkley into my team for mirallas who should I down grade?
    Foster/jaku
    Collins/Valencia/walker/mcauley/Amat
    Hazard/mirallas/Redmond/nolito/capoue
    Augero/negredo/ibra
    Maybe Valencia Down to a 4.5?

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      seems a touch like for like. Is he injured?

      nolito to sterling is the obvious one for me

    2. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would keep Mirallas for this week. Should start after he scored last week.

  3. JimmyB

    Which striker to move on first
    A) Costa- under pressure from other strikers and a red card bound to happen
    B) Gray- could get banned for a few games and burnley don't look that good

    1. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B imo

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      why would you move on either of them yet? wait 2 weeks first - easily be goals in that game and both in form

      gray if you have to to negrado but beyond that no

    I really want to get rid of Shane Long this or next gameweek but I have nothing ITB and he dropped to 6.4... where can I find additional 0.5

    A. Stones to a 4.5
    B. Coutinho to a 7.6
    C. Lamela to 6.5

    1. Painter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Stones for now. Everyone seems to be doing it. Pick him up in a couple weeks

    2. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

        Cheers guys!

  5. Cradders

    Evans and Friend both risks. Is either likely to play? Guess there won't be much infor until the pressers but all I can see is Friend has a calf problem and Evans a hip injury

  6. Painter
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A. Barkley pogba
    B. Hazard mirallas

    1. FrankieTheGent

    Don't fancy signing anyone Arsenal? cool

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The new manager in the Summer will spend 200 million

  8. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who to captain?

    A) Hazard
    b)Costa
    c) Mahez
    d) Ibra

    ty

    1. Jøssy ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      E) Aguero

      1. cruzex
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        dont have aguero.

        1. Jøssy ⭐
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Kind of assumed that. Apologies, I was being a little facetious.

          Deffo need King Kun!!

          Of those options... A or D, but I'd lean towards D for explosiveness

    2. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Great choices - eliminate B as the rest are on Pens
      Ibra is safe so depends how maverick you're feeling
      Hazard/Mahrez get potentially extra for goals and cleanies

    Sorry if this is old news, but just read that Hope Solo has been given a 6 month ban for calling the Sweden team, 'a bunch of cowards'.

    That seems very harsh to me.

    Now let's see what they do to Gray?!

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      seems harsh
      however just seen that this is an international duty ban , which equates to two games

  10. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best replacement for friend for 4.6 or less?

    1. Stevee10001
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      McAuley

  11. delboy26
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on team please:

    Heaton (Jak)
    Williams VanDijk Fuchs (Stones Amat)
    Haz Townsend Tadic Deulofeu (Fletcher)
    Ibra Agu Gray

  12. Karmanya
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    WC Team
    Foster (Jak)
    Shaw, Walker, Williams, Holding (Amat)
    Hazard, Barkley, Sterling (Snoddy, Capoue)
    Ibra, Kun, Negredo

    G2G? Please give any suggestions you deem fit. Thanks !! 🙂

    Who to play Capoue or gray?
    Currently on gray but if that Capoue gets in the points again I'm going to start tearing my hair out!

    1. red devil 7
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      gray

  14. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Souare has decent fixs but how are Palace defending this year? I have no clue tbh.

  15. Pirlø's Pen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Set on binning Gray for the Chelsea game, can't see him doing anything and I think Chelsea will get a cleanie. Who would you rather have?

    A)Rondon MID
    B)Benteke BOU

    Cheers

    1. Taffer
      • 10 Years

      Chelsea are still weak at the back - I wouldn't bet against Gray given how slow Cahill/ Terry are.

  16. twisterteo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Friend definitely not playing?

    I want to leave Stones and get Souare to get some cash but this would leave me with Shaw Pieters Souare for this GW if Friend doesn't play.

  17. Wheato182
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Play Capoue or Gaston?

    1. twisterteo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Gaston

  18. twisterteo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Holding definitely nailed?

    1. Musicholic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      atleast for next gw, Yes.

  19. battystutor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Schmeichel
    Stones Baines Valencia
    Tadic Mahrez Fabregas Adomah
    Negredo Aguero Ibrahimovic

    Bench: Jak, McAuley, Fegs, Paredes

    - 2 FT. What would you do?
    - I can't afford losing out on McAuley's points any longer, can I?
    - Tadic, stick or twist?
    - Fabregas is surely going to feature more regularly after that assist...
    - Baines, stick or twist?

  20. Haugli
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Couirtos
    Valencia - Stones - Amat (Friend, Smith(Bencher)
    Hazard - Mahrez - Redmond - Deulofeu (Capoue)
    Zlatan - Aguero - Gray

    2FT's - 0 ITB.

    All good or anything in particular?
    I
    'm thinking Gray -> Rondon and save up for transfers next week.
    If Mahrez blanks i'l probably transfer him out for Payet, Barkley, Sterling, Ozil.

    Thoughts?
