    Latest News reports say Pogba could be back for the Newcastle game. With Fellaini already in training, will these boost Man Utd goal scoring chances, and Lukaku a viable captaincy option? Not to mention Mikel and Lascalles injuries for Newcastle.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku has to score at some stage. Could be against Newcastle.

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Has there been any word on Lascelles? Fellaini played against Chelsea

      1. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Did not see the match. He played the entire 90 mins?

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          No, came on but looked fit

          1. FPL Hitman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe it was immediately after injury so probably could not make a big impact.

    3. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku is currently the top scoring player in GW12 in the FFS RMT tool.

    4. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It also boosts Pogbas scoring chances

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Viable, but I wouldn't go there. What do you honestly expect at the most? 6 points?

      1. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's true. Maybe just captain Jones and get his usual 18 points.

        1. CFC96
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Probably 12, if pogba is back and they start attacking then jones' bonus is gone

  2. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Jesus to Morata a good move? Chances of Jesus starting next game? Am tempted of keeping him one more week.

    1. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would opt for Morata. Don't want to stress myself with the City starting striker conundrum

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly my thought. Pep started with Jesus and Aguero at the beginning of the season but now I feel it's Sterling-Aguero-Sané then Jesus getting 30 mins?

        1. FPL Hitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Don't think Pep will revert to the formation with which he started the season. He had to grind out results with it. Sterling-Aguero-Sane seems the preferred one as it is being used for the big games.

          1. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Ya especially since Kun got injured, he may have realised its not worth having both on the pitch at the same time

  3. La Roja

    Just bought a blow up doll for colleague’s birthday. He is 58 years old.

    1. La Roja

      And married

      1. GreennRed

        I had one a few years ago. Gave her a lovebite and she flew out the window........

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        interesting threesome

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Sounds like you need it more than him.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You should do the right thing and check if it works first.

    4. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      When you've finished with it, send it across to FPL Virgin please

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This.

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I had one of them but it must have had a fault

      Every time I used it, it went down on me

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        😆

  4. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    KDB over Sane if I can spare the cash? Selling Eriksen.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. KDB, class act. But not a better FPL pick than Sane.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      100% nailed and feel he will get more goals and assists in the next 10.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He's playing midfield and Sane is in the front 3.

        1. Live Lad
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Good point. Assists for sure but those 3 upfront will do the finishing. He may score in big games though.

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        But has he been playing deep? Seems more involved now. Burned by having him first 3 GWs. Sold him before his first attacking points against Liverpool.

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. Because you can spare the cash now, sure - but down the line? Probably not

  5. Patch
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which two to play GW12:

    A) RLC (EVE)

    B) Dunk (STK)

    C) Shaqiri (Bha)

    D) Daniels (HUD)

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…

    2. Fantasy Gold

      B and D

    3. Patch

      Thanks guys RLC or Shaqiri as First Sub Pls?

      1. Fantasy Gold

        Shaqiri

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers, if only I had an extra few million in the banks as I would get Morata or Hazard...feeling vulnerable with zero Chelsea input

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            You'll be fine

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    It's funny how the groupthink works on here.

    Every option you mention that hasn't scored or assisted recently gets written off.

    Love it.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ok

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Lukaku is the best example. He will score at least 4 goals in the next 5 matches.

        1. Jarnathan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I think it depends on Pogba - but Pogba is coming back - so you may well be right.

          Do you think that is more than Aguero, Kane or Morata though?

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Great reply mate.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That's a terrible post 😉

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        True though, innit.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      They’re all jammy points chasing filthy casuals.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        🙂

    4. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, I agree, Kane the perfect example, when he's not scoring everyone's talking themselves into not needing him, all that gets forgotten after he scores a brace and he's must have again.

      1. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed. Kane is by far the most polarizing figure on here. One week its said his price tag is not worth it, the next week he is borderline essential.

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane is finished because he has a quiet game

      Aguero has a quiet game gets subbed at 60 minutes but Sterling gets pulled down in the box so Aguero is essential

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This just about sums it up 😆

        Josh King is a classic example. He looks primed for points, great fixtures and Wilson is back which seems to be good for him.

        Majority of replies about King are 'hmm not sure about him, go for Abraham'.

        If Josh King scores vs Huddersfield, just watch every man and his dog suggest him

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That's exactly what will happen actually. Vardy and Firmino will be sold to him soon as he does something

      2. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He came back from injury, played 170+ min and scored from a pen in all that time, and was still considered essential for the next game.

  7. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone like the idea of a triple man u defence? Jones Bailly Smalling for an average cost of 5.7

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mourinho

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Smalling will be benched in the next two.

    3. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If Jose changes formation, one of them will lose his spot.

    4. Freddo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Do you think Smalling is secure?

      Started 5 league games in a row but Bailly was injured, is Jose likely to play 3 at the back at home to Newcastle and Brighton?

      Not so sure.

    5. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. 2 if enough. They may not play back 3 against lesser teams at home.

  8. james 101
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best defender up to £5.2?

    (Not just for one week, for a while...)

    Too many to choose from...

    Mertesaker, Maguire, Ake, yoshida, Daniels, Gomez, Duffy...?!

    (I have Mee, Jones, Ward and Hune - my keepers are Pope and Elliot - so I need somebody who will play!)

    Thanks!!

    1. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Go Duffy and use the funds elsewhere.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Could use them to upgrade Hune!

  9. J T
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Silva's sales have haulted since Sterling's injury, nice one pep

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dunno why you'd sell Silva.

      Safe option

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        For sure, never even considered selling. Returns every other game with 2double figure tallys.. decent ☺️

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Right now is the "coldest" option of city mid.
      KDB got better, Sane always awesome, and Sterling chipping with tap ins.
      to be honest i would have all three ahead of Silva

  10. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Only decision is who to bench:

    A) Tammy (Burnley a)
    B) Stones (Leicester a)
    C) GroB (Stoke h)

    1. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Tammy

  11. Freddo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Why does the RMT tool rate Sane behind Silva and Sterling for GW12?

    Anyone know how they draw their numbers?

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Only option not rested in previous game...probably fear of rotation

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Away

      1. Freddo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Away, didn't think of that.

        Makes sense.

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Really on the fence here. Just do Jesus to Morata or Jesus to Lukaku for a hit?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Morata

    2. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Morata or keep, Jesus will have some gametime now the Aguero record situation is out the way

  13. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Massive benching heading week one of wildcard.

    Play four of these...

    A) Jones (NEW)
    B) Daniels (HUD)
    C) Mee (SWA)
    D) Moreno (SOT)
    E) Dunk (STK)
    F) Gross (STK)

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years

      Bench boost lololol

      A, B, C, F

      1. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        No D?

        If you aren't going to play Moreno to Southhampton (who can't score to save their season) at home, when are you going to play him?

  14. rjcv177
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Good morning Scouts.
    Have 2FT and still unsure if WC is best option.

    If so...what is your opinion on King as 3rd Forward?
    (would pare him with Kun+Luk and keep Hazard+Salah in mid)

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He certainly is due (King).

      1. rjcv177
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        last game back from inj. (3shots+6at assists - even against newcastle are good numbers).
        With these fixtures ahead i can expect a few returns right?

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kun Morata Rashford ditch Haz for Mane or Spurs mid - I would prefer this set up

      1. rjcv177
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Rashford not making it, sorry. But thx for reply.

        I have the 3 premium option
        Kun, Luk, Morata
        Salah, Zaha, Richarlison, Gross

        or

        2bigs+King
        Kun, Luk, King
        Salah, Haz, Zaha, Gross

  15. Stoneytq1
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with this team?

    2FT 1.2 ITB.

    Fabianski (Elliot)

    Maguire - Cedric - Jones (Otamendi, Long)

    Sterling - Salah - Richarlison - Atsu (Carol)

    Kane - Jesus - Morata

    Atsu Kane Sterling on yellow. Ota banned..

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ota to Azpi + Atsu to Fernandiniho would be good moves imo

  16. LSP
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who one to start?

    1, Moreno (Southampton)
    2, Diouf (Brighton)

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      1

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Easy A.
      Last few games Diouf went back to RWB instead of CF.
      Hughes mentioned a few days back that he is needed there

    3. LSP
      • 6 Years

      Thanks for the replies fellas. Moreno it is

    any better suggestion ?

    1. Emiliano Sala

    Simpson to Daniels or Moreno a no brainer or a waste of a transfer?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      I'd say losing Simpson isn't that great of an idea - has some good fixtures coming up

    Any advice appreciated, really do not want to be playing Surman and Tom Carroll. 1FT remaining (0.5 ITB)

    Forster
    Walker - Daniels - Trippier
    Sane - Hazard - Surman - Carroll
    Kane - Morata - Vardy
    Bench: Davies, Maguire, Carrick

    What transfers would you make if any? Here are some that I have thought off.
    A) Davies >> Jones/other (FT)
    B) Davies, Vardy >> Azp/Alonso + Rashford (-4)
    C) Davies, Vardy, Carrick >> Mee, Rashford, Zaha (-8)

    1. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      trippier and davies to cheaper def, then upgrade carrick?

    Next GW team :

    Fabianski
    Walker Jones Mee Daniels
    Sterling Richarlison Salah
    Kaku(C) Kane Jesus

    Subs: Elliot, Tarroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    Eriksen to Salah
    Kola to Daniels
    Atsu to Richarlison
    Simpson to Mee
    all for -8

    I know its for -8 but hope in the next month these transfers will give dividends... good idea?

      good transfers, but do you need to do them all this gw?

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        From the point of view that I had made already Eriksen to Salah, dont want Simpson anymore, Atsu the same

    Elliot
    Luiz Dunk Mee Jones
    Salah Hazard Silva Moting
    Kane Lukaku

    What changes does this team need?

    The eyes of Riyad Mahrez are worrying close together.

      All the better for aim and focus.

          Seem to have gone kamikaze on your FPL team?

            I've got all the main players - no different to anyone else.

            As usual, they often let me down.

              Your hits in the last few weeks though. Unnecessary.

                Okay, Cap'n Hindsight...I realise the error of my wantoness.

                I see the mods have removed your post above.

    @Mods

    Is it possible to, reverse the "Matches" tab within the members area? It's long, having to scroll down to find most recent matches (which most users logically would be interested in)?
    Cheers.

    Morning,
    any transfer/s suggestions for this team? 🙂
    I will wait till international break is over of course, although want to have some plan in head already 😉

    Current next GW team is:

    Pope
    Alonso - PJones - Daniels
    Salah - Sterling - Richarlison - RLC
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy

    Elliot - Choupo-Moting - Otamendi - Mbemba

    1 FT
    Bank: 0.4

    Thoughts on Rashford as a third striker?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not heavy enough and plays for a team not flush with goals.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If you're doing better than 150k overall then I say go for it!

      1. Transferred Out
        • 6 Years

        80k currently. My current third striker is Vardy but not overly confident in him

    Speroni
    Mee Gomez Dunk
    Silva Salah Richarlison Gross
    Kane Kun Morata

    [Elliot Kiko Carroll Otamendi*]

    Even with Otamendi suspended it's prob worth my while holding tough on any transfer right? Have DF cover for him and the only other transfer I can think of is Lukaku but don't want to part with any FW.

    Thoughts?
