    Captain 😀 ?

    A) Aguero
    B) Lukaku
    C) Walcott
    D) Firmino

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        7 years, 6 months ago

        A

      • Le _ Professeur

        7 years, 6 months ago

        1st ✌

      • Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They could all score twice or zero. Its so hard

        1. Le _ Professeur
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yup .. giving me a headache

          1. Bolivian Seaman
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            the thing is, if you do chose the wrong one you can't say it was a mistake, just unlucky

      • Cevap
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        C out of those

      • Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        C.

      • Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I like B out of those.

        1. Le _ Professeur
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I currently have it on him but Burnley's DEF at home is putting me off

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Still think Lukaku will score, at least once.

      • The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I've gone from A to C, but now thinking about D.

        I hadn't considered B....but now that you've mentioned it - Kaku could be a good call 🙂

        Aaaargghh!!

        1. Le _ Professeur
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That made me feel a whole lot better

      • Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        A or C

      • kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        9/10 you'd say A. He's had a dip in form.....but how long will that last?! Southampton are looking at playing their 3rd choice LB with Bertrand and Soare injured/lacking fitness. Sterling/Sane will be looking to exploit that.

        I cannot see Burnely conceding more than 2 at home. They have no injury concerns apart from Defour, so looking their usual solid at the back.

        inconsistency puts me off Firminho.

        I think A or C are your best choices, with Theo the slight edge against a boo side who started well but are now struggling.

        1. Le _ Professeur
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Very reasonable points you got there .. cheers bro 🙂

          1. kysersosa

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            If only reason lead to results!

            1. Le _ Professeur
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I'll go with Lukaku then xD

      • Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        C

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bouncing around like pingpong ball I am. 3,5m the week before last, 35k last week. I'm happy at 54k

    3. Kane Train
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Capoue > Chadli / Allen or Stanislas for free or save transfer?

      1. Exeter Gently
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Save, good run of fixtures

      2. sillyhilly69
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Will you start Chadli/Allen? If so, do it. If not, save transfer.

    4. Exeter Gently
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Save ft this wk ?

      Heaton
      Smith holebas pieters
      Sterling Sanchez(c) Walcott firmino
      Kun kaku deeney

      1. Le _ Professeur
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yup, you're good to go 🙂

      2. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Looking good

      3. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah good to go.......
        I think Sanchez is the pick there too of the arm band.

    5. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Any idea if Sanchez is going to start?

      1. Le _ Professeur
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Why wouldn't he 🙂 ?

        1. LIARS POKER
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Dunno just have a feeling he may be rested for Wenger tol give Lucas Perez a proper run out. Or is that crazy?

          1. Le _ Professeur
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            No chance mate 🙂 .. Wenger won't mess with the line-up at the moment because of it's form 🙂

            1. kysersosa
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Agree,

              I don't see any reason to change things here.

    6. Hand of clod
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of Antonio >> Son or Lallana (already have Walcott.)

      Feeling a bit unsure what with West Ham facing Sunderland and Antonio being well up there on the goals imminent table. Do i give him one more week......a real tough one one!

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        he's changed his position so he will be off the goals imminent table shortly I think

        1. HammersXI
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Even as a WB he still has quite good attacking potential, as seen last season + look at Cresswell on the other flank 🙂

          But yeah, it's risky tho and could just backfire and give 2 points.

          1. Bolivian Seaman
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            cresswell is banned

            1. HammersXI
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah I meant the attacking threat Cresswell posed when he played last week. It's that kind of runs that makes Antonio extremely dangerous. He might not get goals that often but the assist potential is still kind of there

      2. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I think you should save it since you do have Walcott. I do see Bou giving Tottenham a run for their money tbh.

      3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        One more week then ship out

      4. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Son could be short term.
        Llalana best value Pool IMO
        No real need for change just yet but get Pool cover.

      5. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I would ship now.

        How many times do we read on here 'one more week'. You switch now, (Lallana is definitely the better choice - fixture and prev history), you are set for 3-4 weeks with him.

        Never jumped on the Antonio bandwagon, looking at players for at least 4-5 games rather than 1-2 weeks.

    7. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not done this for a while.
      RMT
      Grant/Pickford (Will upgrade shortly)
      Bellerin Clyne Walker (Amat Holebas)
      Sterling Sanchez Firmino Payet (Capoue)
      Kaku Costa Austin.

      no Kun has worked so far.

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Very nice.

        Austin has terrible fixtures though...

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah but he scored freely for a poor QPR not so long ago and he is getting into great positions.

      2. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Holebas for Clyne IMO, but otherwise a decent team
        Sanchez (C)

    8. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      With this MF of:

      Sterling Sanchez Antonio Capoue (De Roon)

      Have enough money to do Antonio & Capoue -> Lallana & Walcott (-4)
      Should I take the hit of just do the simple move of Capoue -> Walcott and hold onto Antonio for one last week

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        hitless one

        1. HammersXI
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks man. Been looking at Liv fixtures after being alerted on how good they are.. But unsure of whether to take a hit just for some sort of coverage which could very well backfire.

    9. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who bench?

      Allen, Rashford or Tekkers?!

      1. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not Tekkers.

        Probably Allen.

    10. turd ferguson

      i need help with this mess please. any transfer suggestions?

      foster
      williams walker pieters
      coutinho antonio fer sanchez
      costa benteke aguero

      thank you

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        What mess? Looks good to me.
        Maybe Fer out for Allen/Snodgrass?
        Jakupovic needs moving on at some point.

        1. turd ferguson

        FT?

        1. turd ferguson
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          yes 1

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Save. Play Valencia over Petrs

    11. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Diego Costa as short as 2/5 to be carded with bet victor. could've got 11/10 yday

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Knew I should have lumped on it yesterday 🙁

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That's madness

      3. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They do make mistakes now and then. WH had Allen 15/2 anytime goalscorer Wed. night, was 16/5 Thurs.

      4. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'm on for a 1er, was shocked at the 11/10 with Betfred.

    12. piquiblanco
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hi all, I have a question.
      What to do with my 2 FTs?
      Foster - Jaku
      Coleman - Shaw - Friend - Pieters - Amat
      Lallana - Barkley - Townsend - Capoue - Sanchez
      Aguero - Rondón - Lukaku
      1.6 itb.

      Preferably I'd save one. I think I want Walcott in - I could get him for Barkley or Townsend. My defence is lousy, but I don't have any ideas for improving it.
      What do you think?

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Rondon has to go as do Barkley and Townsend.

        This week I'd do Barkley to Theo + Rondon to Deeney

        1. piquiblanco
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Right, Rondon has terrible fixtures.

      2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Barkley > Walcott for sure.
        I would also be worried about Townsend and Rondon

        1. piquiblanco
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Done.

    13. Give Me the Mane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott or Sanchez to captain?

      1. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Everyone is also trying to figure this out! Flip a coin - I'm going Alexis

        1. Give Me the Mane
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Me too atm, just compared Sanchez's and Walcott's stats in UCL game and Walcott did better

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Alexis because I don't want to appear to be a points chaser.

      3. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I don't thin Boro will be open up like other teams do so I'd not go for walcott. Walcott will be probably caught offside a lot too

        1. Give Me the Mane
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

    14. beroccstar
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Happy Friday everyone!!!

      So, i've been pondering who to bring in to replace Ross Barkley - it came down to Lallana for the Liverpool midfield double-up (with Mane), Arnautovic or Siggy.

      I decided against Arnie because of his 4 bookings, and decided that a Liverpool double up without a surname ending in "ino" probably wasn't the right way to go.

      So, i was all set to back Siggy, when i realised i could do;

      Aguero and Barkley for De Bruyne and Lukaku.

      Hmmm, kind of a like-for-like...

      That would make my front 7 look like this - Sanchez, Mane, Alli, De Bruyne, Antonio; Lukaku, Rashford (Dio).

      This would be for a minus 4.

      ...thoughts?

    15. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Which is more certain?

      a. Wilson scoring against Spurs
      b. Lovren keeping a CS
      c. bears shiit in the wood

      1. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        d. whichever captain you pick this week, it will be the other guy who bags a brace

    16. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is Lovren too much of a sicknote to be a decent FPL option?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I should've had that as option d.

      2. RustyBz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Would be more concerned about Liverpool keeping cleanies

      3. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I've got him. I can't say I've much faith him in though. 🙂

    17. Guy Demel's SH
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm wondering if there's a possibility that Austin could be benched at the weekend. Could we see Puel go for Long/JRod in order to try and close down Bravo and the channels to the full backs?

      Or am I talking nonsense and Austin will start, evidenced by him being rested midweek?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Long is injured. Austin is in form. He starts.

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely starting his best and most in for striker.

      what are peoples thoughts on KDB, anyone taking a punt?

        I had him for a couple of weeks before his injury. It was quite the fling.

        Now though, I'd only get him if you were going to captain him over Aguero, otherwise the money is better spent on 2 x 8m, than 1 x 10m + 1 x 6m.

      Butland's back in training and I've just seen he's only 4.7m. Straight in my team when he's back

        Yep, this is stopping me buying Karius this week for Jaku.

        Yeah I think I'll get too. Just need to raise 0.7m from somewhere. Manonne back in training too so very shortly I won't have a keeper.

        1. Worzel Gummidge

            Surely Pickford stays until he messes up. He is better than Manonne anyway IMO

        Capoue or Allen to start as 4th mid?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Allen.

        2. Worzel Gummidge
            7 years, 6 months ago

            You have both. Think a change needs to be made elsewhere to upgrade your 4th mid.

          1. Buck The Trent
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Cap

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Lukaku

            Final question
            Could Tony Pulis have won 21 trophies in 7 years managing Barcelona and Bayern?

            A) Yes
            B) Definitely

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                7 years, 6 months ago

                B

              • RustyBz
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                No.

                7 years, 6 months ago

                More. He'd have made them more defensively solid that his world class attack would have beaten anyone. 😉

              Anyone else going for Arnautovic????? Just did Tadic to him. Think Hull are brutal and eh played really well last week against another crap team. only a matter of time before he hits form. Would have had to take a hit to get another arsenal player in.

              Mid looks like this now.

              Payet-Firmino-Walcott-Arnautovic

                I got him this week

                • 13 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Nearly did but I'd need him to stay for 3gws and the 4yc's put me off. Doubt he'll last that long.

              Tricky one this week, bench one of these defenders:

              A) Koscielny (MID)
              B) Stones (SOT)
              C) Williams (bur)
              D) Shawcross (hul)
              E) Amat (WAT)

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Gotta be Stones or Amat, but tricky indeed

                  7 years, 6 months ago

                  E. How come you're playing 4 defenders? What does your mid/attack look like?

                  1. McNulty
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    7 years, 6 months ago

                    Sanchez, Walcott, Coutinho, Antonio (Capoue)
                    Aguero, Lukaku (Diamonde)

                    Capoue as a 5th mid hasnt worked and my defs have good fixtures so I am going to save a transfer and sort it next week.

                      7 years, 6 months ago

                      Saying that it looks like Capoue is falling tonight. I have 6.2m for a replacement...

                  B or E

                After United playing well in the last game I'm wondering who to bench between Rashford and Allen.

                Plan was to go 352 for the next few weeks with Allen a playing 7th forward. Downgrade Rashford next week and upgrade a defender.

                Thoughts?

                  FWIW I've just done Rashford-Deeney

                  Great fixtures for Deeney in next 5 and Rashford is will be a second right back v Chelsea i feel.

                Start 2 out of Holebas Stones Morgan?

                Capoue > Joe Allen for Free pocket 0.1 ??

                  Very popular move this week.
