    Leicester!

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't you sleep bud?

        Probably sleep more than you. 😉

    What to do with this? 2 FT & 1.1 ITB

    Pope
    Azpi / Maguire / Mee
    Salah / Gross / Richarlison / Sterling
    Kane / Morata / Rooney

    Elliot -- RLC, Duffy, Ogbonna

    Think it's obvious to drop Morata maybe for Vardy or Firmino? Not sure what else though, maybe would like to get Mahrez in?

    1. Eden Eden
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Can you upgrade gross to Mahrez or Arnie if you do Morata --> Firminho

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney first out of the team.
      Rooney/Wilson
      Gross/ Ramsey to be a little different.

    Chelsea have made contact with West Ham with the intent of signing Andy Carroll on a permanent deal, @SkySportsNews understands.

    Morata owners worried?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Morata might miss half a game before Carroll gets injured

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Has Carroll really improved his fitness that much?

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      "Morata owners more worried?"

      There, corrected 😀

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Morata owners should just sell regardless...

    4. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Morata owners should already be worried

    Just watch this..Great captain, great man..

      Definition of classy pro

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years

        pure class and role model

    2. Tazah

      Hahaha song at the end there

    3. XabiAlonso

      This should be shown to all kids (and adults) playing football

    Iheanacho essential

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Morata to Iheanacho?

  6. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think?

    De Gea
    Kenny - Christensen - Otamendi - Alonso
    Salah - KDB - Hazard - Sterling
    Firmino - Crouch

    Elliot - RLC - McBurnie - Dunk

    Dunk / Kenny are a rotation pair
    Crouch / RLC are a rotation pair

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      This can't be your team, surely

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thinking about it. But probably go with Kane and Gross out to Aguero and Ox

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I can see Kane demolishing Soton, not so much for Kun

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Possibly. I expect Southampton to be more defensively prepared this time.

            1. barracuda
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              No capacity to do that, they don't play for their manager either. He is a dead man walking.

            2. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              There'd be something very wrong if they weren't

            3. barracuda
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Did you watch Newcastle v City?

              1. diesel001
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Yep. Looking forward to Benitez's bus parking tactics again. City will be more prepared this time.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Can you fit Wilson in

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nope.

    3. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Basically playing with 10 men, not for me

  7. Eden Eden
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I'll rephrase lol.

    This is my team, not happy starting Mee and Gross obv:

    Adrian - (Elliot)
    Vertonghen - Ogbonna - Alonso - Mee (- Dunk)
    Sterling - Eriksen - Arnautovic - Gross (- RLC)
    Kane - Aguero (- Quaner)

    A) Vertonghen, Eriksen, Gross -> Danilo, Albrighton, Salah -4
    B) Eriksen, Aguero -> De Bruyne, Firminho
    C) Eriksen, Gross -> Salah, McArthur
    D) Something else

    1. Kanteisking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe B - big fan of KDB but you need Salah

      1. Eden Eden
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, only issue is that I'm chasing and everyone has Salah

  8. sk66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    moving foward unsure what to do with this team, only issue is not having arnoutovic, but would love some forthcoming change suggestions

        1. Kanteisking
          • 7 Years

          Then save

    3. Dannyb

      Lingard to Arnie.

    Anyone else with a higher VC score? This is hurting me every week now.

    Total captain score 288
    Captain score had you swapped all C / VC 452

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      284
      328

      Getting closer to even, was > -80 before Kane started banging in hattricks.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I've closed my gap too - now only 268 vs 322!

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like doing analysis' like these during the season as it creates more uncertainty but plenty are in the same boat myself included.

      Just learn to play safer from now on and cap Salah

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      316 / 272

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      That 452 doesn’t look correct - have you tried adding up your VC score ?

  10. Kanteisking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    How are the troops looking for the weekend. Bench needs some love but have already traded this week

    How are the lads looking. No Son only concern

    Fab
    Otamendi, Jones, Chistensen
    Salah, Arnie, Sterling, Lingard, KDB
    Kane (c), Firmino

    Sub: Elliot, Ogbonna, DCL, Mariappa

    1. sk66

      what a side, wow - wish i could afford that midfueld

  11. The Butch
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez or Arnie ?

    1. Kanteisking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Arnie (cheaper also)

  12. Big P
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I need a punty striker for one of my draft leagues for a few weeks... 

    Best option from these? 

    A) Welbeck (should play with no Sanchez) 
    B) Deeney (big impact Sat) 
    C) Benteke  
    D) Josh King  

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years

      Ace

    2. clodhopper

  13. Patch

    Albrighton benched...is he nailed for PL at least?

    Any signs of Mahrez getting injured, limping etc?

    1. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yes no

    2. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't wish bad of anyone, but that would suit me 😉

  14. Tazah
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    If only slimani was a sure starter

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Decent player, but Leicester style doesnt suit him

  15. Kevtheotter

    Hey guys what you think

    Adrian
    Ogbonna Ota Alonso
    Richarlison Alli Sterling Arnie Lingard
    Kane Firmino

    Elliot DCL Naughton Zanka 1FT 3.1 ITB

  16. Deus

    I feel that my team suddenly become a template and it lacks personality.
    Here is starting 11:

    Adrian
    Alonso, Jones, Ota
    Salah, Sterling, Pogba, Arnie
    Kane, Firmino, Wilson

    Apart from goally what do you change here?

    1. Dele
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing sadly

    2. Infamy, Infamy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Points, not personality.

      1. Deus
        • 7 Years

        Points?

        1. Infamy, Infamy
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Points more important than personality. You have a great team.

      Unfortunately looks beats personality this time.
      (Unless you've got 4 uglies on bench)

      1. Deus
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Elliot, kenny, rlc, hunemeier

  17. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Whilst I love owning Otamendi, is there merit on cashing out on him for Stones?

    Money is tight and I could do with replacing Mbemba/RLC/Niasse..

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't

    2. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No imo, just stick with Ota until you actually want to get rid of him.

  18. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Depoitre ---> Firmino -4 tonight or wait?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Probably. Chelsea players the main issue tomorrow.

    Eriksen,Fabianski,Depoitre,DCL > Lingard,Courtois,Vardy,Quaner

    Thoughts?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your side.
      -8 not worth it .

      B.

  22. Rik Waller

    Masuaku playing CM tonight?

  23. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What's the consensus on Chilwell these days?

    Worth considering as a 4th defender - or too high a rotation risk?

  24. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    The next time I can bring Alonso in for free is GW26 (for Christensen)

    Perhaps ignore Alonso considering how close GW26 is to the blank and I may've missed the bandwagon?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      By then, Chelsea might blank in 28.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        and after the blank they have City, Burnley and Spurs in the next 4

        although if they don't have a blank then I think I'll definitely be getting Alonso in 26

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wondering something similar and if Alonso makes the scout cast. He’s been called “essential” and I could have done with his recent hauls but Chelsea don’t look like they can score... so sure, he’ll get CS’s but so will the likes of Jones. Not sure how much he’ll assist with Morata up front...

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Alonso is scoring goals but for me 7.3m is not worth it if he won't get an attacking return at least every 2 weeks

        I always like to have the cheapest options I can in every position and he doesn't fit that criteria at all, and if Christensen can become nailed again then I'll just stick with him until the blanks instead

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A. Best midfielder for 6 million or less?
    B. Best striker for 6 million or less?

  26. Tazah
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What's going on with chicharito? Not even in the bench..... Seems like arni will be coming in

  27. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Speroni (4.1) to the 3th Manchester United keeper (3.9) for a free hit? Otherwise I can not do DCL to Wilson. I have DDG and Speroni will not play.

    Thank you!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      a free hit?

      1. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

  28. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Just thinking about the captain for next GW, none-Kane owner here,

    Was thinking about Aguero, but
    1. Not looking his sharpest
    2. Newcastle have only conceded 6 in the last 7 games (games that included City and Arsenal)

    Surely Salah or Firmino better options?

    .

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Salah for me

    2. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I own Kane and I'm still doing Salah. I'm tempted just to put it on Salah every week now tbh. Wish I had done it at the start of the season.

  29. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Gomes
    Alonso Kenny Ogbonna
    Alli Son Salah Arnie Pogba
    Kane Firmino

    Pereira Naughton Quaner Hunemeir

    1FT, 1.1ITB

    What about

    Gomes Hunemeier Alli => Pickford Valencia Lanzini in next weeks?

    To have:

    Pickford
    Valencia Alonso Kenny/Ogbonna/Naughton
    Arnie Lanzini Salah Pogba Son
    Kane Firmino

  30. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    In cup which option gets most points?
    A) Zanka ---> Alonso -4
    B) Depitre ---> Firmino -4
    C) Play Zanka
