    What would you do with this lot?

    DDG
    Azpilicueta Otamendi Christensen Dunk
    Salah Sterling Eriksen Arnautovic
    Kane Firmino

    Elliot Kenny RLC Quaner
    2 FT, 0.7 ITB

    A) Azpi ➡ Alonso
    B) Eriksen ➡ Mahrez / Mane
    C) Christensen ➡ Maguire / VVD
    D) anything else?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      C Maguire

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso essential.

    3. SALVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Christensen has lost his place right? I would drop him

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not so sure now that Cahill injured

  2. SALVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here?

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Jones, Ota, Ogbonna
    Eriksen, Arna, Richa, Son, Pogba
    Kane, Aguero

    Daniels, Duffy, DCL 2FT 0.3 ITB

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No idea, sorry.

    2. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years

      Great Team! Eriksen to Mahrez or Mane as you already have Son.

    3. StoichkovFPL

      get best player of the game

      1. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        WOW, didnt notice that, so answer is pretty obvious what to do ^^

      2. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        This

      3. SALVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Salah in, cheers all

    4. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lacking Salah, Alonso and Sterling.

      1. SALVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah. Thinking Eriken, Son, Daniels to Salah, Alonso and Ibe. Exact money to do that move.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          You can’t have them all and Aguero over Sterling is solid “coverage” as they like to say.

          Wait for tonight’s matches to play out first in case of injuries etc.

          1. SALVA
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks a lot. Will do that#

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

      Keep Eriksen this week and move Daniels for someone cheaper

      1. Lukakuna
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Then get Salah for him next gw

    6. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen to Salah so you don't loose out on too much

    7. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lack of Salah. That man has 50% ownership and consistent. It hurts the rank a lot if he delivers.

    8. SALVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all. Salah in.

    9. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      DCL > Quaner & one of Eriksen > Salah or Otamendi > Alonso.

  3. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    A) Play Depoitre or Zanka (stk)
    B) Depoitre -> Wilson (whu) for -4

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do B actually. Huddersfield are utter garbage.

    2. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not for -4

  4. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Where do we see Walcott fitting into the Everton side? He can't be a number 10 as they already have about thirty of them and they have just bought a number 9. Would debate buying him if he drops another 0.1m

    1. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Right wing..
      Bolasie siggy wally

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I thought that but I don't think he will drop Rooney which means Siggy can't move over into the number 10 as Rooney will be occupying it which may mean rotation for the wing position.

        1. Tazah
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          No Rooney cm next to gana

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Hmmmm possibly. Not convinced but I think this the most likely scenario. It will either go very well or very badly. Could be worth keeping an eye on Siggy and Walcott then.

            1. Tazah
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Yup agreed

          2. BigBarn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            He won't play Rooney as one of only two CMs. He can't. So I think it will be a mix and match of Bolasie or Siggy on the left, Rooney or Siggy at 10, and the Walcott or any of the above one the right. Lookman, it seems, can bring a book to read. Three spots, four players plus occasional other subs. It's all a bit Meh for me, and I speak as a Toffee.

            1. BigBarn
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              He could also go 4-3-3, in which case Rooney could occupy one of the middle 3 spots with, say, Gana and McCarthy, leaving the other 4 (with Tosun) to occupy the front three. Either way, someone ain't playing.

              1. Tazah
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Mccarthy dropping, either way 4231 is a 433

            2. Tazah
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Bookmarked, be here on match day

              1. BigBarn
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Ha! Sure thing. What I'm sticking to: He won't play Rooney and Gana as a central pairing with another 4 attackers in front of them.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Tosun
      Walcott-Sigurdsson-Bolasie

      #Exciting

      1. Tazah
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Until they play

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        As I have just said to Tazah, I can't see him dropping Rooney which makes this unlikely.

        1. Tazah
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Even Sam said himself Rooney hasn't been a attacker for a few years now

  5. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Those Pogba numbers tell the real story

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Alli stats interesting. Was gonna do him to mahrez this gw28 (as I have 2FT) but I have a feeling he is about to explode. He got 15 points against saints at home. Do i hold on to him for one more week, as i have son and kane.

      Any comments to help me make my decision anybody please ?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        You could be right. I watched the highlights against Everton and he certainly had a lot of chances which was quite frustrating as I own him, really should have scored a couple

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          That point blank shot!

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      His second assist was pretty decent, to be fair. The first one could have happened to anybody. Even Phil Jones.

  6. Mooster©️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Still thinking of getting Agüero and Lingard out for Firmino and Son or Mahrez for -4. What do you think? Should I just forget it?

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I would just do it next week for free

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Lingard was quite ok yesterday for his price (non owner), so that seems an odd -4 transfer. If Sanchez is joining then perhaps.

      • SALVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Dont do it. Aguero could bang hatty this gw and Lingard has been great on away games.

      • Dreaming of glory
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Def not ive have the armband on aguero if i had him. Could run up 30 points over the next 2 games with a bit of luck

      • Mooster©️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for all good replys. Will hold.

    3. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Barkley in for the running v bri..... Conte wanted to use him tomorrow but couldn't, plus cesc injured

    4. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Need help, chasing

      Adrian/Ryan

      Alonso - Jones - Christensen

      Son - Sterling - Milivojevic - Salah - Lingard

      Kun - Kane

      (Ogbonna, Tarkowski, McBurnie)

      Rival has Firmino, so afraid of not having him for SWA

      0.7 ITB

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Unless you want to get rid one of the premium forwards for Firmino, nothing I guess.

    5. Fantasytom
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Thoughts please!
      A) DCL and mustaphi to Wilson and Tomkins
      B) DCL and Kenny to Wilson and Tomkins

      Need 0.2 to do the move from DCL to Wilson. Struggling because Arsenal next 3 fixtures look good for Clean sheets despite their form!

      1. MTPockets
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Would have to say B just on relative defender fixtures.

      2. Deus
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        What Everton fans think about Theo? Are you happy?

        1. Rik Waller
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He's just what they need

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Looking at this! 2FTs, 0.1ITB. Good moves?

        Fabianski >> Pickford
        Depoitre >> Ayew

        Pickford
        Masuaku • Otamendi • Christensen
        Son • Salah • Richarl • Sterling • Arnie
        Kane • Aguero

        (Elliot / Ayew / Duffy / Kiko*)

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

        Richarlison Hazard out
        Sterling Arni in? -4

        Or wait? Hazard against Brighton next

        Salah Lingard Carroll other mids

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I would

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Actually -4! No

        2. yakirh
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yes do it

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

        Sorry for the eyesore but would you wild card this?

        DDG
        Jones, Ota, Ogb
        Erik, Son, Sterling, Lingard, Rich
        Kane, Aguero,

        Ell, DCL Mee, Mbem,

        To this;

        Adrian
        Jones, Ota, Alonso
        Salah, Sane, Sterling, Arnie, Albright
        Kane, Firmino,

        Ell, Mee, Mbem, Mee

        1. Chazz69

          2 Mee ?

          • 7 Years

          Dont think you need to WC. Just take a hit or two instead.

        3. Krafty Werks
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          No chance, waste of a WC. DCL > Quaner & Eriksen > Salah.

      6. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Which do you prefer. (Team is in excellent shape already)

        A) Ibe + Firmino (free)

        B) Pogba + Wilson (free)

        C) Wilson +Firmino (+ RLC as 5th mid)

        C will require a -4 hit.

        Thanks.

        1. FC nelo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          A for this week. B for long term.

      7. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I like Son.

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          That's disgusting.

      8. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Morata + Depoitre + Richarlison -> Firmino + Wilson + Arnautovic (-4)? Worth a hit?

        1. Dele
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Looking at something similar, I would say so.

          1. KUNingas
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks. Do it tonight or wait? Firmino and Wilson rising tonight..

          If Wilson plays, yes. If on the bench, don't know

            6 years, 2 months ago

            Would be tempted wait with Dep -> Wilson for Next week, But I guess you think he will outscore him by 4

            1. KUNingas
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Long term yes. Dont like Depoitre at all 😀

              1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Agree that Wilson is better long term, just not sure I would do it for a hit.

                  1. KUNingas

            • 7 Years

            Before pulling my transfers which 3 should I go for?

            A) Lanzini, Arnie & Firmino
            B) Arnie, Firmino & C.Wilson

            Double up on West Ham is putting me off, but it could pay off?

            1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
                6 years, 2 months ago

                I Think both Arnie and Lanzini will outscore Wilson with their fixtures and form.

              Let's talk formation. At the moment I think most people are doing 442, 352 or 451. I am debating going back to an old school 343 with Vardy, Firmino and Kane up front, a midfield of Salah and Sterling and a defence of Alonso and Otamendi. Given the fixtures of Leicester and Liverpool now, this could pay off but there is certainly a lot of value in the midfield and defender sections of players at the moment so I am not sure how it would pan out. Destined to fail or getting ahead of the curve? Any opinions?

                Formation is just incidental. Choose the combination of players you want

                  I agree but there is a general template that people either copy from better players, stumble across or mastermind themselves. At the moment that is a 5 man midfield, typically. I remember after the DGW people were posting their teams and they were all more or less identical. Also, almost identical to mine.

                Just check how Vardy is performing in "easier" games.
                You may want to reconsider his place in your set up.

                1. The Big Fella
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah good point. Mahrez might be a good option in that case, assuming he doesn't change clubs.

                6 years, 2 months ago

                Kane-Kun-Wilson right now, feel pretty happy with it - not so much if Wilson gets injured though..

                1. The Big Fella
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  I was debating Aguero but I am just not sure if he is worth the 11.7m this season. His next two are very appealing though.......

                  1. SADIO SANÉ
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 2 months ago

                    yeah I'll get rid as soon as Jesus returns, plenty of cheaper midfielders to enable him - you could argue Arnie, Lingard, maybe Ox are some of the best options right now anyway regardless of price

                    1. SADIO SANÉ
                      • 8 Years
                      6 years, 2 months ago

                      wait and see on Ox really, but the other two look pretty good

                Depends on the games my players have

              Best GK to get under 5m and why?

              1. Lingardium Leviosa.
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Adrian looks to provide best value for money. Pope is also good

                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Whm also have decent fixtures short-medium term

                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Thanks, I was thinking one of Pope or Pickford. Adrian seems a decent option too.

                Butland might be someone to keep an eye on, depending how they do under Lambert. Great fixtures.

                PIckford. Usually gets bonus and save points when they keep a clean sheet.

              We are expecting 2 DGWs until the end of the season, right?

                6 years, 2 months ago

                3 would be the most likely number. But at least 2, yes.

                Should be three.

                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Mm this is my thinking kind off. Though stoke away is a good fixture so may downgrade son to arnie next week!

                  1. Lukakuna
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah, I wouldn't hold him just for that one game tho, I'd rather keep Son in spite of fixtures

                    1. #FPLBhuna
                      • 7 Years

                      Thoughts on richa and son > sane and arnie (-4) next week?

                        • 7 Years
                        6 years, 2 months ago

                        Son is in such form tho, kinda wanna get him although I'm way late. Also I'm biased as every hit I've taken this season has failed 🙂

                          Haha i just dont rate keeping him for 3 toughish fixtures

                Some risky choices again - but at least players might play their proper positions.
                Any strength on the bench?

              A) Gross
              Or
              B) Richarlison

              Out for:

              A) Arnie
              Or
              B) Lanzini
              Or
              C) Lingard

              For -4? Thoughts much appreciated

              Rooney (WBA) to firmino (swa) for a -4
              Or wait until after next game?

            12. camarozz

              Which do you prefer. (Team is in excellent shape already)

              A) Ibe + Firmino (free)

              B) Pogba + Wilson (free)

              C) Wilson +Firmino (+ RLC as 5th mid)

              C will require a -4 hit.

              Thanks again.

              How is this team looking? No WC but looking at bringing in Arnie, Lanzini & Firmino for a -4?

              Pope,
              Alonso, Jones, Ota
              Sterling, Pogba, Arnie, Lanzini, Salah
              Kane, Firmino

                Arnie and Lanzini seems a bit much to me but hey whatever tickles your fancy

                I think lanzini and arnie is a pretty gd move tbh
