      I don't mind where I finish so long as I make some money from FanDuel

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years

      As an Arsenal fan I'll gladly take this honourable place.

  2. Lyonnais

    Would like to qualify and then play v one of the scoutcasters 😀

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks

  3. johnbarnes

    Best defender at 4.4 or less? (not Friend)

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

      Bardsley?

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nyom

    3. Partick Bateman
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Dawson has the fixtures for Hull, but risky.

  4. nikush
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Heaton
    Bellerin Fuchs Pieters/Evans
    Allen Firmino Walcott Son
    Costa Kun Kaku

    1. ol3andre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Doesnt like Son in there. But otherwise it looks good.

      1. nikush
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        with Kane back; Son is under threat imo..
        But, with lamela and sissoko injured, he might be playing as a winger I guess..

        however, I have benched Bolasie. as I have Kaku up front, I benched the Everton mid cover..

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Will Cazorla on mean Sanchez will get less attacking returns?

    1. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is that a theory?

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah seems Walcott benefits from Caz playing

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

          How have you drawn this conclusion?

          Walcott has only played 2 games without Cazorla and got an assist in one of them.

          1. Kaneyonero
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Just the people going "Caz back, Wally haul imminent".

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

          *Arsenal benefit from Cazorla playing. He'll be crucial to them on Sunday

          1. Kaneyonero
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            My bad, think it's just the people that have Wally keep going Caz back Wally on the double. They've hindered my thoughts.

  6. JÆKS ⭐

    Who to bench?

    Lovren (H WAT)
    Holebas (A LIV)
    Smith (H SUN)
    Pieters (A WHU)

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

      Pieters

    2. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm benching Holebas

    3. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pieters

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Holebas

    5. teki0s
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Holebas

  7. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    VVD or Fuchs

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

      Fuchs

    2. il Brutto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VVD

    3. Partick Bateman
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fuchs.

  8. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is the bench right do ye think?

    Pickford
    Rose, Bellerin, McAuley
    Sanchez, Walcott, Gundogan, Coutinho
    Aguero, Austin, Lukaku

    Foster, Holebas, Fletcher, Amat

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

      Maybe Holebas over McAuley but not sure. Holebas with some attacking threat but McAuley always can get you a goal.

      1. Scratch
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It's 50/50 but went with McAuley over Holebas since Leicester tend to concede on set pieces

    2. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks ok to me.
      I decided on Allen over the Gundog due to funds.
      wish i had both

    3. Henry Hill
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes think you have it spot on there

  9. ONE PUNCH MAN
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hello everyone

    Valencia to Fuchs for a hit?

    Horrible bench currently - Valencia Amat Diomande
    (Playing Whelan currently in the midfield,if I get Fuchs ,Whelan would be benched)
    Rest of the defense- Pieters Holebas Koscielny

    Thanks and Cheers!!

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

      yes imo. should be worth it over the next weeks.

      1. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        me too

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Starting Whelan is just horrid.

      The fact you have Whelan & Diomande is something you need to change though imo

      1. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        whelan is my fifth mid, and diomande would be upgraded next week,to austin or wilson

  10. rrcmc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What are peoples views on Musa?

    real deal?
    worth a punt this week at H to WBM?

    i would swap him in for Tekkers.

    any thoughts welcome.

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

      I'm just not sure he starts every game. Wilson/Austin maybe better.

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

        Bournemouth just dont seem convincing but then Sunderland H seems like a perfect fixture!
        might decide in a late night drunken stupor. this woudl be for a hit

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

          At home Bournemouth are pretty convincing

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

            yep, I was just looking back at the 6-1 win

  11. Henry Hill
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Redmond too risky to get in this week?

    Was planning on getting him in but team news tab here has predicted Boufal starting ahead of him

    1. stumanchuu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ha...I already have him and want to know as well the chances of a rest...

      1. Henry Hill
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Just been browsing on Southampton forum as I am typically productive this Friday afternoon, they seem 50/50 on it too:

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

    Do you think Redmond will start?

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks to be in some sort of doubt. 2 from 3 of Red, Tad & Bou. Boufal was their record signing so he's going to start a lot of games.

  13. Domo555
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Help! Weeks of neglect have lead me to a dark place. I think it's still salvageable. Any help welcome.

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Stones Evans Holebas Amat (Valencia)
    Pogba Sanchez Stirling Firmino (Capoue)
    Benteke Aguero (Austin)

    Cheers

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

      Bench Amat and play Austin?
      Pogba might be injured.

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

      you can't bench Austin v Hull...

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

        Not sure I'd ever play Amat over Austin regardless of who Austin was playing

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

      Playing Amat over Austin is absolutely crazy

      1. Teddy Brewski
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        x4!!!!!

  14. SilverSpurs
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My squad:

    Cech (Jaku)
    Walker Smith Pieters (Williams Holebas)
    Coutinho Firmino Son Walcott (Capoue)
    Lukaku Bony Deeney

    4,8 itb 1FT

    I think of taking the hit:
    Son, Deeney -> Costa, Sterling

    Or do smth else? Any advice will be much appreciated as I didn't really have time to look into it this week

  15. Thiga
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mustafi Vertonghen Holebas Evans Amat

    Looking to bench Vert and Amat. Thoughts?

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

      I would probably play Vertonghen and bench Evans.

    2. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'd bench Evans over Vert

  16. BB-8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play Pieters or Evans?

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

      Pieters

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Evans imo. Both unlikely to keep CS but Evans marginally more likely to score

  17. Partick Bateman
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Good day. Anything to do here? 1.1 ITB
    Already did Shaqiri to Allen and would consider a hit to improve defence.

    Heaton
    Smith Holebas Pieters
    Sanchez Walcott** (vC)outinho Allen
    Aguero(C) Lukaku Costa

    Jaku Capoue Hernandez Amat

  18. sminkypinky

    All....well not all obviously, but you know... I want is for Feo to repay the faith!

    Team value took a dent keeping him too. Up to 104.0 now. Am i falling behind?

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

      Falling behind in what? My TV is 103.5 and I think its pretty decent

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

        PS - TV means absolutely nothing if you're not getting points to show for it

        1. sminkypinky
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah true true. My mates the type that takes a lot of hits to build a mege team after christmas. Slightly worried of that. My overall points situation is okish.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie

      7 years, 6 months ago

      Im only on 102.8, of which 3.0 is itb.

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Gundo, Austin and no kun.

  22. Sterling Chap

    Williams > Fuchs for -4. Yay or nay?

    Williams Bellerin Evans
    Gundogan Coutinho(vc) Hazard Firmino
    Costa Tekkers Aguero(c)

        • 9 Years

      Right.. I'm tired.

  24. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    With Arnie's ban, my defence is a bit of a mess this week:

    Friend (mnc), Evans (lei), Williams (che), Mustafi (TOT)

    Is it worth a -4 to get Morgan in (future plans mean no Fuchs), or do I ride it out and get Holebas in next week?

    Thanks all.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Arnie is a mid...

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Which means benching him, playing 4-3-3 and having that defence

  25. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Help me out lads. Really unsure what to do. Maybe save transfer or fix my defence?

    itb. 0.9

    Heaton
    Mustafi- Holebas - Evans (Pieters,Amat)
    Sanchez-Firmino-Coutinho-Mata (Hoj)
    Kun-Lukaku-Wilson

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Save

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

      I think you're actually good to go. Save and enjoy 2 FT's after the break.

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Redmond will start, where are people getting these doubts from. Puel even said he's making no changes to the squad.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is he saving FT?

    2. BB-8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Link? Team news has Boufal starting

    3. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Squad, not starting xi.

  27. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Yaya Toure has apologized to Pep. Maybe a surprise to see him feature on the bench tomorrow?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Probably will take a few weeks for him to get match fitness up again

  28. ANON.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Will Redmond start?

    Considering Ibra + Redmond to Austin + Hazard -4?

    1ft 0.3 in the bank

    Heaton
    VVD, Holebas, Evans
    Mane, Sterling, Walcott, Redmond
    Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku

    Pickford, Williams, Fletcher, Amat

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I like those moves regardless.

    2. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Are you maverick or dullard?

      I'd save given the fixtures this week, Redmond will start I reckon

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

        Try to be a dullard

  29. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago
