    Any cheaper than Azpi/Alonso Chelsea def that can be worth bringing in?

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

      Christensen maybe... Yesterday, Conte said that he earned Luiz's spot.

    2. sk24
      • 6 Years

      Christensen

    A or B, mates?

    Elliot
    Walker Jones Daniels
    Sterling Richarlison Salah RLC
    Kaku(C) Kane Jesus

    Subs: Fabianski, Mee, Tarroll, Mbemba

    A) Play Mee instead of Jones and hope Sterling plays...
    B) Jones to Mustafi for -4 as Jones fixtures go bad and rotation

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on if you want Jones going forward, if not you have a good entry point with Mustafi this gw

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I’m going A for now until info is better

  3. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sane over Kane for captain is certainly tempting

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

      I'll pick between Kane and Lukaku, but currently I'm on (K)ane... Think he'll score a brace + 3 bonus points... 13*2=26 points total sounds good. 😛

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Should do and yes it does, just think Sane could replicate the Palace match and still have doubts over Spurs at home in the Prem

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

          Then go with your gut, mate. Good luck!

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Thank you and good luck to you too

              Cheers

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah them and Lukaku. Will pick the wrong one no problem at all though 🙂

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

        Doing this all season long. 🙂

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I worry I'll do the same, almost every time I have the nads not to captain kane he hauls

  4. sk24
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Vertonghen or Otamendi?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Otamendi, more goal threat

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

      Ota imo... Also, he's a bit cheaper.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ota

  5. luke25
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Due to lack of options this week for Aguero's replacement (can't bring in Morata, Kane, Jesus) I'm going to have to hold and pray that Jesus starts out wide where Sterling would usually play and Aguero starts up top.

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not gonna happen

      1. luke25
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I know it's smallest chance but it's the only thing giving me a glimmer of hope going into this week 🙁

  6. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    a) Eriksen to Pogba
    b) Eriksen to Sane
    c) Cedric to Ota
    d) Save

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A and c ?

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

        leaning towards C podge

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That’s probably sensible

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C

    3. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You've got 1 FT and don't want to make a hit. Then, do:
      - this GW -> C)
      - next GW -> A)

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

        cheers all looks like C

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

          Cheers

  7. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of Haz > Sane this week so I can do Lukaku and Naughton > Morata and Alonso -4 next week

    Elliot (WAT)

    Naughton (BOU) Ward (ARS) Daniels (swa)

    Salah (CHE) Sane (hud) Silva (hud) Richarlison (new)

    Lukaku (BRI) (k)ane (WBA) Abraham (BOU)

    Pope Jones Carroll Duffy

    G2G?

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

      Save. And next GW, do:
      Naughton, Haz, Kaku > Alonso, Pogba, Morata.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You think haz scores well this week?

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

          Liverpool defense is a fragile one. I think Haz will be decent, yeah. So stick for now... Your team looks good to me. Think about them transfers after the next GW.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            True would really regret losing him if he smashes it vs Liverpool. Still terrified of sane though and can see a huge score vs hud

  8. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So iv my 1 free transfer, dont no know weather to use it or not, hows this look

    Ederson

        Thanks

    Does anyone find that the longer you stare at your team, the more you hate it?

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

      No show me urs

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

      I'd visit the doctor.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, I love the look of mine

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Opposite, my teams in good stead for the first time this season bar aguero.

    5. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Don't stare, look at it gracefully

  10. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Pope
    Ward Daniels Maguire Cresswell
    Salah Sterling Silva Chapo-Moting Surman
    Kane Morata Vardy

    Thinking about doing Cresswell + Sterling to:
    A) Sane, 4.8 def
    B) Pogba, Christansan
    C) Save FT, downgrade Vardy next week

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

    1 FT 0.7 in bank

    Elliot
    Otamendi Jones Daniels
    Eriksen Salah Sterling RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Foster Carroll Mee Hunemeier

    1) save and do mini WC next week
    2) Someone gotta go this week

  12. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hold or sell Jones? 1FT. Nothing in bank

    Elliot, Foster
    Jones, Daniels, Naughton, Ward, Mbemba
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Gross, TC
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    1 - Aguero --> Morata
    2 - Sterling --> Pogba
    3 - Jones --> Mustafi
    4 - Aguero + Jones --> Morata + Otamendi -4
    5 - 4 for free next week

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

      I would keep Jones.
      Maybe 1 or 2

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      1

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Despite chances of Aguero not starting vs HUD, I don't think I had the balls to drop him when Morata plays Pool

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

          Then save 1 FT

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Why put the option then!

  13. balint84
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you choose?
    (verts not option)

    A) Tripper
    B) Davies
    C) Jones to Walker

    and do you think worth to drop Ritchie for Choupo for -4?

    1. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C, nailed on, CS, got a few assists so far..

  14. balint84
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have Jones, sterling, jesus, abraham, ritchie, alli, clark, duffy

    time to wildcard?

    1. The EJJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep!

    2. Bubi
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. I think only Duffy is good option. Jesus for this GW but later... only Pep knows 😉 Sterling is a bit risky deal but he is the cheapest one so maybe he is worth to stay for next 3 matches.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes!

  15. BearScout
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Smalling a rotation risk this festive period? What about when all their defenders are fit?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      When all fit he’s nowhere near starting

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

        cheers.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Very much so

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

        Ty.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes and yes

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

        Thanks.

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

    Who is better for the 3rd striker role:
    A) Calum Wilson
    B) Niasse

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Niasse will be banned for a few matches and then Everton will sign a striker in January. Just saying.

  17. PMassive94
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling > Sane for -4 for this week? 1.9 ITB and already done free transfer

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me

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

      Negative.

    4. PMassive94
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      There's the answer then, solves that dilemma. Potential for future movement

  18. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Probably sorted it out:

    Stones Jones to Ota Mee
    and next week Bavies to Christensen?

    Ota blocks my move for Azpi however maybe it's better to do it this way than having Azpi with Moreno?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I'd rather have Otamendi and Christensen than Azpi and Moreno.

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

        Thanks 😉

    2. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks great. 2 injured players for 2 with lots of potential. And Christensen has awesome fixtures after liverpool so yeah, i'd do the same

  19. Ode
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Help needed:

    A) Jones -> Daniels
    B) Eriksen -> Sane (C), Jones benched for Ward
    C) Both for a -4

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A

  20. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Serious question is 200 points behind the leader in your mini league bad at this point????

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

      Serious answer

      Yes

      I'd say anything above 100 you will be lucky by many years experience of playing

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not if you nail your triple captain/bench boost chips.

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

      I'll be merciful. That's absolutely terrible.

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Is he doing exceptionally well. or are you doing crap?

    4. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      200 points behind with 26 games to go only leaves you needing to catch up by just under 8 points per week. That's certainly achievable imo.

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        See was thankn that myself, take minus points for transfers as hammered me

  21. Yozzer
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    To the guy asking this morning if niasse appeal means he plays this week

    The appeal will be heard by an independent regulatory commission on Wednesday, with the player having a legitimate case as there was clearly-visible contact between defender Scott Dann and Niasse

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

      I still think they'll uphold it. It'll make a mockery of the original decision if not and he's the guinea pig that's gonna set an example I think

  22. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best option out of these?

    A. Vardy gross and save ft
    B. Pogba Gross -4
    C. Zaha Wilson -4

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

      I'd take B, as I think Pogba will get at least 4 more points than Vardy will, making it worth it.

    2. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B will be in most teams in a while. C if you're chasing or like to take a gamble. Palace fixtures still great and if Wilson keeps playing he could be gold.

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    With BSilva playing full CL game and Sterling playing almost whole game is the likely scenario that front 3 for Huddersfield game will be “Sane Jesus Sterling” and then for mid week game “Sane Aguero BSilva”?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      The Huddersfield game is a whole five days after yesterday. On top of that, it was a home CL game. I don't think it's as simple as that. It may well be that Sane Jesus Sterling will start vs. Huddersfield but it won't necessarily be because of the resting patterns vs. Feyenoord.

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

      Sterling 3 in a row? Maybe? Or Sané Agüero Jesus and then Sané Agüero Sterling. Or Sané Jesus B. Silva and then Sané Agüero Jesus. Thank Sterling is a bigger risk than Agüero vs. Huddersfield.

  24. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Currently have Eriksen and Sterling. Looking at either Hazard or Salah (maybe both)For coming weeks(not this though but might downgrade defender to prepare). Have 2ft and nothing much urgent.
    A) Eriksen to Salah
    B) Eriksen to Hazard and Kola to Mee to afford(latter move this week). Keep Sterling for now
    C) Sterling to Salah and Kola to Mee to afford. Keep Eriksen for now
    D) Get both Hazard and Salah even though hits and losing Walker+Kola to afford

    1. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B. When sterling plays he's gold (except last PL game)

  25. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen + Sterling + Jones -> Sane + Zaha + Azpi...

    Thoughts???

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

      No

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

      -4 would be okay if you're assuming Sterling isn't play this weekend.

  26. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Last night I bought Mee. Now I read Conte said that Christensen has won Luiz's place. And I'm 0.1 short to get him next GW... Yikes! 🙁

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

      Blessing in disguise. Now you can have the 3 of azpi/alonso/haza/morata

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

        Want a Chelsea defender. Azpi/Alonso are too expensive for me. Already got Morata.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Still unlikely he’d play every game though don’t beat yourself up 🙁

  27. SolidSnape
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Elliot
    Cedric / Daniels / Ward
    Hazard / Coutinho / Sane / Richarlison / Choupa
    Kane / Jesus

    Fabianski / Dunk / Niasse / Jones

    0.2 ITB and 1 FT

    Good to go barring any more mid week injuries?

  28. BearScout
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    If Kane doesn't get double digits this gw, I'm switching to 3-5-2.
    Does anyone else think Benteke and beefier midfield for Kane is worth a punt?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn't even have to be Benteke - if you're committing to 3-5-2 just get the cheapest nailed striker.

    2. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm getting rid of Kane this week, I will be able to bring in Walker, Azpi, Salah & Ramsey in a couple of weeks...

  29. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Speroni
    Daniels Jones Moreno
    Salah Sterling Fernandinho Richarlison
    Kane Lukaku Aguero

    Pope Mee Carroll Hunemeier

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    What to do here?

    Or am I GTG for this week, and save FT (as I plan to bring in Morata or Hazard next week)?

    Thanks

  30. dee_top
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kun+TC+Dann —> C.Wilson+Pogba+Azpi
    For -4
    Worth it?

    1. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Get Azpi after the LIV game..
