Suspensions

The Suspension Tightrope – Gameweek 15

There were 30 yellow cards flashed across the weekend’s nine fixtures but not one resulted in a suspension. With five new faces clambering aboard over Saturday and Sunday, the Tightrope now has 21 players sitting just one booking shy of a single-match ban as the busy festive period kicks in.

Chelsea’s Diego Costa, Newcastle midfielder Vurnon Anita, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and West Brom midfield duo Craig Gardner and James McClean were the latest additions, with the latter escaping with just a yellow for a reckless high challenge on Tottenham’s Mousa Dembele.

Discussing the incident with the press post-match, Baggies boss Tony Pulis hinted that the winger was somewhat fortunate not to be sent packing:

“It was a reckless challenge. He shouldn’t be doing things like that, it’s not allowed in the modern game and he’s got to be careful. He just sees the ball, he is one of those people that if the ball was in front of a brick wall he would throw himself in to try and win the challenge. He’s not a nasty guy, there’s none of that about him, but he has to be careful”.

As a result of the weekend activity, seven sides – Bournemouth, Newcastle, Southampton, Stoke, Spurs, Watford and West Brom – now have a couple of players apiece with four cautions to their names.

Our Tightrope protagonists still sit some way behind Norwich’s Alex Tettey, though, who leads the way on seven bookings for the season after incurring the referee’s wrath during the 2-0 loss at Watford.

Just behind Tettey, there are now four players on six yellow cards. Stoke’s Erik Pieters, Liverpool duo James Milner and Lucas and Newcastle’s Jack Colback are the men concerned, with the latter two picking up cautions this weekend.

Lucas’ yellow card means that Liverpool have now earned 33 cautions in the Premier League alone – that’s on a par with West Brom and just two behind Tottenham in top spot.

Finally, four players will be available for action this weekend after serving one-match bans. Liverpool’s Emre Can, Villa’s Ciaran Clark, West Brom’s Claudio Yacob and Palace’s Wilfried Zaha toppled off last week’s Tightrope, with Can earning his fifth yellow in the midweek cup win at Southampton. Zaha, of course, will serve his ban tomorrow night as the Eagles roll up to Everton.

This means that, at present, there are no players set to serve suspensions in Gameweek 16. Palace’s Yohan Cabaye and Everton’s James McCarthy could yet succumb to the lure of the Tightrope, though – they head into tomorrow’s match at Goodison on four bookings apiece.

Finally, reports this evening suggest that United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger could face retrospective action for an alleged elbowing incident involving West Ham’s Winston Reid at Old Trafford yesterday. It’s believed that referee Mark Clattenburg and his assistants missed the altercation, with the FA set to contact the whistler before making a decision. Marouane Fellaini is likely to escape punishment for an alleged stamp on James Tomkins during the goalless draw.

    Is this worth a bench boost?

    Bench: DDG/Smalling/Özil/Lukaku?

      Ask Joey Soccer 🙂

      If this is your bench, your squad must be amazing!

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        In other words, YES!

    3. Test Eagles

      I'm not sure I understand your on-going question thread Zampag ... did you not get the answers you need a few pages back?

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Considering you're starting Fabianski(mci), Monreal(avl), Ayew(mci), Darmian(bou) in their stead, no

    5. KING_ZLATAN
      • 13 Years

      What's your squad to have this bench ?

  2. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Should I be less nervous about not having Spurs and Liverpool attackers for next GW (after last night's showing)? 🙂

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It'll be a miserable Sunday for you without either IMO

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I might sell my only one this week

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          and buy another? (Coutinho/Alli?)

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Well another Sunday player – Rambo or Wally

              • 11 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              I must say I've only got rave reviews about the Welsh Messi at the moment 🙂

    1. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Need not worry. This seasons' just been unpredictable. They will start scoring again

    2. ZAMPAG14
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, maybe bring in Dele Alli or Harry Kane as they are in pretty good form. Don't bring in any Liverpool players. Their bad.

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Any transfer I make would be on a hit now.

        I do have a defender each from either team.

  3. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Let's talk Junior Stanislas - is he nailed on? Might bring him instead of Surman.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Could be, you got no more pressing matters?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Mane & Pelle are stinking my team.

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Interesting, Mane -> Stanislas could be a nice cash grab

    1. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Trying to save MITB for Aguero/ Sanchez?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        not really. Trying to ease my benching headache. As Mane's replacement.

        But then going with strong front 8 during hectic winter schedule is probably a good idea too. I'm torn.

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Certainly first choice the way he is playing. Bargain at 4.2 imo

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Think I'm getting him this week if I can avoid the temptation called Ramsey.

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Ramsey is certainly very tempting, was brilliant at the weekend.

          If you want a strong front 8 for xmas, then I still think Stanislas can be your man. He's very George Boyd-esque, could easily pop up with points if you need him

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Wow, really? Good to hear that since I'm very clueless bout that guy.

            Mane was very disappointing last week. Can't wait to get rid of him.

            Thanks Nick and all.

    Thoughts on this team?

    Any transfers I should make?

    DDG

    Smalling Toby Bellerin Monreal Dawson

    Mahrez Barkley Silva Ayew Ozil

    Vardy Lukaku Ighalo

    Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait until midweek games are played.

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Let's just say no injuries afer midweek games.

        Any transfers that I should make?

        Rating of squad out of 10?

        Thanks

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

          You can save, 7/10

    2. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Team looks very good. The only flaw is it looks fixed and will suffer casualties to accomodate the likes of Aguero/ Sanchez when they return

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Don't really want aguero or sanchez.

        Too injury prone!

        Anything else?

        1. FPL Hitman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Well then, team looks good. Still feel lot of funds invested in Defense especially this season where any team score against any team home or away

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrade Monreal or Dawson > Nyom / Simpson / Pieters / Moreno

      Stash the money in your hip pocket and get ready to upgrade Ayew or Ighalo

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Upgrade Ayew for who?

        Happy with Ighalo ATM

        1. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Ayew > Alli for this GW and then he rotates well with Iggy

          Spurs at home to Newcastle could go either way, if it's a flogging then Alli might well get involved and at 5.0 there's no risk if you need to lose him in the Winter WC.

          1. Joey_Soccer
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah sounds good. However, when Swansea do happen to perform well, Ayew is at the heart of everything.

            Still go ahead with the Alli move? (or any other suggestions, looking for more attacking players in the midfield)

            1. Test Eagles
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              That's entirely up to you ... Swansea are just terrible at the moment.

              Obviously you don't NEED to make any changes, but if you've got a F you need to burn then that would be my move (well it has been already).

    4. sleecc
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Save, team looks good.

  5. affinity07
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Andre Ayew owners still holding on to him? Watching the Swan's last match gave me cancer. Monk has to do something about Gomis (like benching him), he's playing like Torres when he's at Chelsea (no confidence)

    1. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I for one never had a Swansea player this season (well probably Naughton for one week before i realized my mistake). They will buy a Striker in the January season for sure. Gomis was more like a forced option after Bony was sold, he was never really that great a player. Maybe little better when he was in France.

  6. michudagawd

    Bottomed

    -------------- Butland - Schmeichel
    Bertrand - Dawson - Moreno - Souaré - Richards
    KDB - Ozil - Coutinho - Mahrez - Surman
    ------------ Vardy - Lukaku - Aguero

    1 FT, 1.5 itb

    Thinking Richards needs to go but for who?

      Alder

      1. michudagawd

      Wait on Aguero and Coutinho news. You really need both playing with Surman.

      1. michudagawd
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hopefully they're both ok to play, I got Coutinho in for -4 last week!

    E) Others

    1FT, 3.4M ITB

    1. Joey_Soccer

      B

    2. ZAMPAG14
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think C mainly because Silva hasn't nailed his spot in the Starting XI (11) yet. However, you will need to get rid of Rojo and Janmaat as Rojo is injured and Janmaat plays for Newcastle who keep bare clean sheets.

      1. FPL Hitman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Silva is not nailed???

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years

      Can't afford Mane to KDB?

      1. sleecc
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Can, but prefer a differential.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 12 Years

    Swap Ayew for who?

    Any suggestions...

    1. Joey_Soccer

      Or keep?

    2. Live Lad
      • 9 Years

      upgrade or down?

      Alli I guess

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years

        Whichever, have 1.1 ITB

    Who should I take out, Ayew or Darmian and who should I bring in in their place.

    1. Joey_Soccer
      • 8 Years

      Leave Darmian.

      Man U capable of many clean sheets and spot secured due to injuries.

    Chances?

    Rival: 23 points + Cabaye
    Me: Bolasie, Barkley & Lukaku(c)

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      23 points is a bit of ground ... you need Lukaku to get busy really. Anything over 8 points for the skipper and you're good! Thats a tough one Jins, I wish you the best (fellow Lukaku armbander)

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well if Lukaku scores then you're in with a chance. I'd say he has the slight edge but could easily go either way

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      3-2 Everton (Lukaku Hatty, Barkley 2 assists, Bolasie assisting Scott Dann, Cabaye red card)

      There ... that ok?

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Apart from DDG, who would you say is the best GK over the holiday period? Thinking Myhill or Butland. I'll be replacing Gomes after next week.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Myhills fixtures appear good. They don't seem to have the resolve you asociate with a Pulis team though. I would go Butland.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud

        • 9 Years

        Uh...che, mci, LIV hardly seems ideal. Maybe GW20 Panti is worth a shout

  16. Ando
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Fabianski ➡ Courtois for free?

    After Leicester away Chelsea have some good fixtures (SUN, WAT, mun, cpl, WBA).

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Only SUN and mun look good there.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      DDG may be a safer option

      1. Ando
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I've already got Darmian, would you double up?

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Possibly Butland is a good keeper as well

  17. Jape
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Ok, I may have jumped the gun a bit, but at least I'm happy with the transfer.

    Cech > Butland.

    Team is now

    Butland / Gomes
    Dawson / Smalling / Moreno / Ward / Rose
    Mahrez / KDB / Ozil / Coutinho / Wanyama
    Kane / Vardy / Lukaku

    All good? If Coutinho still isn't fit by the weekend I'll either take a -4 or play 4 at the back.

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well done. Nah no need for hit

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for your advice earlier mate.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          np

    Anyone persisting with Ayew or sending packing?

    If getting rid of who for? (A few suggestions)

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well you know my thoughts on the matter. You have Barkley?

      Some other punts I would consider involve teams with good upcoming fixtures ... Bolasie, Sterling, Wijnaldum, Arnautovic, etc.

    2. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I want to sell. Just can't spare a FT yet for him. To Alli is my aim.

  19. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Team for the next GW:
    Butland
    Toby, Moreno, Bellerin, Smalling
    Mahrez, Barkley, Ozil
    Vardy, Lukaku, Augero (c)

    0 FT, 1.5 itb

    Subs: Mc, Ayew, Willian, Richards

    All 4 defenders have CS potential this week and attacking returns so 433. No Spurs or Liverpool attackers though.

    Ayew to someone from the two teams for a hit? Coutinho/ Alli?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli for me

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        but for a hit? I may have to drop Vardy to play Alli if Kun starts.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Not for a hit. Save that move next week

  20. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which pair is better?

    A. Kane, Stanislas
    B. Iglaho, Ramsey

    Haz KDB Ozil Mahrez ____
    Vardy Lukaku ____

    1. Jape
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A, although I do like B a lot too

    2. Sailboats
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Too late to get ighalo now

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not really. Good price, might still go up, very reliable and might bench him during the hard GWs anyway

        1. Sailboats
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yes really. Watford plays Pool chelsea spurs man city. You'll bench him until january then?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Maybe. You never know with hectic winter schedule..

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A, perhaps change Haz to Ramsey in future

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        How long Alexis and Santi will be out? Crucial for getting Ramsey

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Alexis 2 weeks min
          Santi - 2 months min

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Hmm so he'll play through the middle a lot.

            Wish I've gone for him instead of Haz. Oh well

  21. Joey_Soccer
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Out of the potential DGW's (Game week 27, 30, 33/34, 37)

    Which is the best to use the bench boost and why?

    Which big teams may be playing in each of those game weeks twice?

    Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      We don't know the fixtures.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This.

        Ignore the term big temas when it comes to DGW.

        Remember Hull players & Austin from last season

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          It all just depends upon what turns up imo. Any side could have a good option amongst them from top of the league to relegation candidates.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You will just have to wait and see. Nobody knows yet.

      By all means use your bench boost this week it may work out marvelously but we just cannot know this kind of thing. You will need to gamble one way or the other.

    3. Rian23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      34 I reckon, as that's the one for the FA cup quarter final teams. If ur willing to save your wildcard you could have 15 DGW players

  22. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Chaps, which 2 would you pick from these 3 for a draft league up to gwk 19?

    A) Josh King (mid)
    B) Zarate
    C) Watmore

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A and B, C's not bad either tho

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      In that order, although king has to watch his back for rotation or losing his place

  23. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    As crazy as it sounds given the two teams in question...

    Will Mourinho park the bus at Leicester?

    I am starting to think be will, which is the only thing putting me off captaining Vardy! Going on recent stats alone for both teams and Vardy, he is the standout choice!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Going work on surviving LMS 🙂
      I wouldn't captain Vardy.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Park the bus or no, they are a complete disaster zone. I think Vardy and co will find a way past them.

    2. Jape
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Even if Mourinho does park the bus i'm sure Leicester will score more than 1.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah he is a strong consideration for me. Will probably go for Kane in the end this week though. My stats have Vardy higher than Kane and Ighalo who are almost exactly tied for 2nd. Only the Mourinho factor and his infamous defensive setups scares me as this is now surely “big game” territory

        1. Jape
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I captained Vardy this week and it didn't go as well as i'd hoped.

          Even after Kane's blanks I feel like Kane is still a better choice.

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Vardy was a great choice this week. Just a rare occasion wh3n he missed a lot of chances

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe. He was so negative with Spurs recently, so it wouldn't surprise me.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Chelsea are now just a glorified west brom!

    4. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think Chelsea will have a better game than people expect. They might not keep Leicester out but I doubt they will score a lot.

  24. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Dropped 7k to 14k now. Ozil is single handedly destroying my season after the good start.
    There's always that one player every year...

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Still a very commendable position, sir. You should be grateful.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly This!

      2. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Sure I am, but Christmas time every year is when I start falling. Seems like it has started a bit early this year. 😛

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil hasn't had many huge scores. Anyway 14k is better than pretty much everyone round here

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, that is true. I have never peaked that early. But three reds (to be) in a row now is a bit depressing.

    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    If Arsenal had beaten Chelsea that day we ended with 9 men, Chelsea would be 18th below Newcastle.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Blame Mike Dean

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Still amazes me how badly they have done this season.

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You must think arsenal have a decent chance this season? Maybe the lowest ever points total for champions!

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Aha we already have that record with 78 points in 97/98. Either us or City will burst from the back soon.

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I might copy you with Ramsey

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Join me, double Arsenal mid is the way to go, especially if Kompany is missing the game at the Emirates.

            1. Najoman86
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Double Arsenal MID... the way forward!

  25. Najoman86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Early GW musings - Mane > Silva, Sterling or Ramsey?
    Will be waiting until the midweek European fixtures are complete, but think it's time to move Mane on.

    1. Two is a Kompany three is a…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ramsey seems to the flavor of the week.

  26. Jay10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Really wanted to get Ighalo,but those Watford fixtures.

    1. Kane Train
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah in the same boat but if they score he will be apart of it

  27. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    1 FT 5.6itb what can I do

    Butland
    Moreno - Nyom - Bellerin
    Mahrez - Ozil - KDB - Barkley
    Vardy - Lukaku - Kane

    Subs: Hennessey, Simpson , Wolls , gosling

    1. Rian23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Save

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Identical Starting 11 apart from Nyom.

  28. OPTA FPL
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Coutinho or Ramsey?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      if Cou declared fit of course

    2. Jay10
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho

  29. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Just got back from out of town.
    34 (-4) with Deulofeu and Lukaku left.

    No Mahrez. Someone say something nice? 🙁

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You might scrape through LMS if Lukaku blanks

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lukaku probably needs a negative score.

    1. Ziro Becomes One
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Plenty below 30. Do not worry.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      he is still cheap, get him back

    3. Just A Hat
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You've lost the plot not having Mahrez
