    Is Courtois a bad option from the Chelsea D? I know that Azpi/Alonso are the standout options, and for those that want to triple up with Morata,Haz, Azpi/Alonso there's just no room for the keeper, but If you wanna play 2 Chelsea defs (only 1 of Azpi/Alonso), than isn't he the preferred 2nd player from that line up? Surely more nailed than Christensen, who might get rested over the busiest of schedules and always worrying that a slip or 2 could see him lose his spot to Luiz.

      Courtois is a great option if you don't mind for your gk to rarely get any BAPS. He won't be rotated and with Kante back CSs will keep on coming.

      Forgot to add that most people might not want to double up, but might have funding issues - that's why maybe they'd need a cheaper option from the Chelsea back line.

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

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Yes

  3. DAZZ

    Why is everyone adamant Sterling will start this weekend? Hes started the last 3 games, hes due a dropping from Pep, does pep play players 4 on the bounce?!? Jesus Aguero Sane

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

      Im a salty bitter kun owner who knows his fate this weekend

      1. Wiz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm a Kun owner too and BSilva Jesus Sane makes the most sense

    Jones replacement? 1 FT, 0 ITB
    A) for 5.2 or less (Mee?)
    B) wait until next week - Jones + Richarlison -> 5.7 + Gross
    C) keep for 2 transfer next week and reassess

    Ps. other defenders - Moreno, Duffy, Daniels, Dann

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

      A

    2. Stef rocks

      Maguire

  5. Caleb's Kitties
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    From gw14:

    A. Hazard + 4.5df

    B. Silva/pogba + alonso

  6. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    A) Mustafi & Sterling

    Or

    B) Tarkowski & Sane

    Will be playing both most GWs

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Rest of the defence : Francis/Long/Azpiliqueta/Naughton

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B!

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    How will you improve this team?

    Krul Elliott
    Kolasinac Jones Duffy Mee Hunemeier
    Sane Salah Sterling Cork Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    1 FT 0.8 itb

    Want to get in Azpi for Jones but not enough Cash. Can downgrade Vardy but he seems to have a good fixture this week

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

      How about Otamendi instead of Azpi? Or Christensen if you're set on Chelsea.

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

    1) Azpi Moreno Mee
    2) Christensen Ota Mee

    Have Daniels already.

    Other options?

  9. FCSB

    Bottomed:

    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

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      With Jones out, and a possibility of Moreno being dropped you need a nailed Def.
      Not to forget you've sterling and Aguero, one of them might sit out.

    2. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kun > Morata and use the funds to upgrade Hunemeier next week

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

    Any news about Jones?

    Really don't want to sell.. will lose 0.3 and a great defender

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

      Thats it for Jones he's ridiculously injury prone he wont come back now fully fit for a while he'll miss games here and there, jose knows it, i think that's why he's so angry with southgate

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      All we know is that he’s definitely out v Brighton. Watford next week is an unknown. Can you bench him and take a -£0.1M ?

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

        I have him since gw3
        Selling value is 5.2
        Will I lose value if he drops?

        On the bench I have Mee and Gomez

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

    How did Eriksen look yesterday from a fpl perspective? Worth transferring him out for Sane?

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

      Go for it

  12. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Coming off a great week, I don’t feel so optimistic this week, however I like my team going forward. Any thoughts on what to do with this bunch?

    1FT - 0.3ITB

    Elliot (Pope)
    Daniels Jones Mee (Moreno) (Dunk)
    Salah Sane Choupo Gross (RLC)
    Lukaku Kane Morata

    Considering dropping Lukaku soon and using the funds to bring in Pogba and invest in back line.

    Cheers!

    Why was my previous post deleted?

    Niasse appeal fails. 2 game ban stands.

    hows niasse ban update? already buy him :'(

    1. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Banned for two games.

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

        i think the new rule is great, but 2 games? harsh imo

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

          In the past when players have appealed a charge and failed, it has often resulted in an increase in the initial length of the ban.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Incoming news, if real, isn't good.

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

        yeah and he's first player charged by the new rules

    3. thewhitepele

      oh my, just brought him in last gw and thought my punt worked for once 😀

        ikrrrrrr

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years

        You had his goal last GW. At this price you can keep him on the bench.

  16. Mind över Mata

    How does this sound for this week?

    Aguero and Carroll -> Wilson and Sane (-4)

    Fabianski
    Jones*, Ottamendi, Daniels
    Silva, Richarlison, Salah, RLC
    Aguero, Kane, Morata

    Elliott; Carroll, Ward, Duffy

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good transfers.

  17. Mcgugan
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any news with Jones? Chances he starts this week or back next week? My defence isn't great already and really suffers without him.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Check the flag

  18. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which pair do you think will score more points this week?

    A. Vardy, Choupo-Moting
    B. Wilson, Pogba

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

      B

  19. Ludo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Full Conte quote: ‘In every game I have to try to make the best decision for the team and I think in this situation, Christensen deserves to play. Christensen is playing very well, but we have to play a lot of games – we play every three days – and I need all the players.’

    Good value for 5.4, given that he looks first choice at the moment, but it still doesn't sound like that means Conte will start him every match, particularly now the games are coming thick and fast.

    1. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Could say the same for any player.

      He's more likely to play back to back games than Cahill or Luiz IMO.

      He could be referring to EFL Cup and Champions League matches where he plans to rotate and maybe use David Luiz.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ye but that’s the case for all teams I reckon... Jensen why we need decent bench players during this period! I’m orchestrating Alonso into my team but if I wanted a Chelsea defender and had a budget I’d definitely go for him. He’s Chelseas phil Jones

  20. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Advice appreciated chaps! 1 FT, 0.3 in the bank:

    De Gea
    Daniels, Mee, JONES*
    Sterling, Salah, Silva, Richarlison
    Vardy, Morata, Kane

    (Elliot, Cheek, Mariappa, Hegazi)

    Was set on Sterling -> Pogba and then working towards Vardy, Silva, Cheek, Hegazi ---> Gross, Sane, Azpi, Quaner. But not sure what to do with Jones now...?

    Cheers

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

    Anyone looking to sell Jones i'd get on Otamendi. Stones lay off off for 6 weeks cements his alreay nailed spot, and city have 3 games where they could easily pick up 3 clean sheets. Otamendi could be gold over next 3 for his price

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

      What about Walker?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yes if you’ve got that much spare.

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

          Thinking of doing Stones => Walker, only way to do it is to get rid of Kane

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

            Not worth losing Kane for Walker.

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

              By losing Kane, I can get: Salah, Walker, Azpi & Pogba/Ramsey in 3 GWs, worth it?

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

                No. You can keep Kane and still get Salah, Pogba and Azpi. I have Kane and Salah. Gonna get Pogba next week. Have Kola, Davies and Otamendi.

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

                  Wow that's a solid team, have Lukaku Morata and Kane at the moment, looking to go 3-5-2 and invest in midfield.

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

                    Awesome front 3. Don't you want to lose Lukaku instead of Kane. Pogba will be your United cover. I think Kane will do well from now on. But I was wrong about him many times in the past. Up to you mate. Good luck!

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

                      Only reason holding me back is Lukaku's fixtures, he's a flat track bully and he'll surely score over the next few weeks. Such a difficult decision to make, all the best to you too!

  22. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2ft, only wanna use 1 this week. What would you prioritise? 0.1itb

    A) Sterling to Pogba
    B) Jesus to Morata
    C) Kane to Morata +reinvest next week (will probably give kane one more week)
    D) Bring in Sane
    E) Other

    Concerned that Sterling and Jesus seem due to be rested but worried to have no city players.
    My attack:
    Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison Groß
    Kane Jesus

    All comments greatly appreciated

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane, Sterling -> Morata, Sané

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

      Think D this week, then B next week, not planning on getting Lukaku?

  23. Mcgugan
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on Pogba for the big United games? I'm happy to keep him the next 2 weeks, but not sure if he should go for Silva, Sterling etc when United hit the tougher few games?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Well it’s only 2 tough games and if you get city mids then they also have a tough one against a likely Jose bus. At £8.0M he’s an absolute bargain and think you can just hope for something in the city game. Arsenal match is expect him to return points. Fixtures after that are great and Jose will play him to death every game.

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

      Keep Pogba. He will get more minutes than those City mids. In fact, he played 90 minutes in most games earlier in the season.

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

    Who scores more this week:
    A) Sane (hud)
    B) Pogba (BRI)
    C) Hazard (liv)

    Cheers x

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Expect all to score big... Sane probably but theres should not much in it. Do you have all 3?

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

        Hazard, need to get rid to fund Naughton > alonso next week was hoping a consensus could form but you’re right

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn’t be dropping Hazard personally.

          Top 4 ideal kids right now IMO are:
          Salah Hazard Pogba Sane

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

            Plan on having them all but hazard so I can have Alonso 🙁

            1. @fpl_phenom
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              You got Morata? Then probly ok ...

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

                Yeah he’ll come in for Lukaku

  25. arndff_
    • 12 Years

    Is Mustafi a nailed one? Or he can be rotated?

    Would you want to have him in your squad, gents?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd want him over monreal. Would get him next gw

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

      The other options in heir squad are tragic the clean sheet record with him shows how valuable he is I defitnely would consider/am considering him for Jones if he’s out for a while

    3. Kolor Ijo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Already get him..cheaper too

  26. Bury94

    Vardy and Sterling -> Wilson and Pogba for a -4?

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

      Probs not

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No I’d want Vardy this GW

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      No

  27. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero, Carroll > Wilson, Sané 2fts

    Do Mbemba > Daniels -4 on top of that so I don't have to play Mee and Naughton?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes
      Yes.

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

    3-5-2
    DDG / Fabianski
    Mee, Otamendi, Azpi / Ward, Jones
    Richarlison, Salah, Gross, Sane(c), Pogba
    Aguero, Callum Wilson(v) / Abraham

    Aguero > Morata for -4 hit?

    1. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Augero probably won’t play next match but then city has 2 home matches where he can score 10+ each. If you have Ft and don’t have anything else in mind could try Agu Morata and next week buy him back 🙂

      1. Stef rocks
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry didn’t see it is for a hit - I wouldn’t do it. Just hope Kim will play some minutes and score. You also have Tammy and ward on bench so not that bad

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You’ve gone for 1 premium striker... needs to be a nailed on option like Morata or Kane.

        Think you should make a permanent switch to one or the other.

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

          Yeah I'm really struggling with strikers atm. Trying to pick up the points from MF but will get another premium if I can.

          Long term plans (next 2 weeks, providing prices don't change)

          Swap:
          Abraham > Niasse
          Jones > Lowton

          Richarlison > Hazard
          Aguero > Morata

          Would mean taking a 4 point hit each week though. Thoughts?

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

            Sorry, leaves 0.1m itb at the end.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I wouldn't.

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

      Not for a hit, think you're G2G

  29. Stef rocks

    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ok guys please help, I have a few questions - actually a mini survey 🙂

    Elliot Fab
    Maguire Tripier Gomez Daniels (mbemba)
    Silva Richa Gross Salah RLC
    Kane Kaku Morata

    1ft 0.3 ITb

    1) G2G?
    A) yes save FT
    B) no - please propose sub

    2) which keeper
    A) Eliot
    B) Fab
