    Choosing a captain for next GW is hard...What is your captain atm?

    Mine is Aguero

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero v Collins 🙂

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Dito.. King Kun(C)

    3. The Blackadder
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I think it should be on Aguero from now until end of season (or until he gets injured which is more likely)

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero or Lukaku

    5. KOLASINA(C)
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaka

    6. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      On Lukaku actually but still not convinced.

    7. A.T
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Lukakoo

  2. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    I'm thinking of Kolarov to Baines this week, KDB to Sanchez next week, is this a sensible move seeing as it will leave me with Aguero as my only city cover?

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      nah not with Man City vs Sunderland coming up.

  3. FPL Mentor
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Lloris
    Alderweireld Bellerin Moreno
    Silva Barkley Payet Henderson
    Aguero(C) Kane Ighalo

    (Hennessey, Mahrez, Huth, Bertrand)

    3.8m itb for Mahrez 》Sanchez next game week.

    And seem top be loaded up nicely for a potential DBL gwk in gwk 25 with Man City, Liver, Everton players.

    Good to go?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Looks really good.

    2. Le Blues
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      is it DGW confirmed?

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        not confirmed no. But possible in gameweek 25/26.

  4. Veraswami
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Kane / Rooney ?

    Which one of them should I go for ?

    1. The Blackadder
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Next two weeks Rooney looks a good bet but I have Kane and won't be swapping him out.

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I didn't see the game yesterday but apparently Rooney had one shot and scored

      Read into that what you want

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Kane out of those two.

    4. Veraswami
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks guys . Decided on Kane

  5. fpork
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Myhill (Butland)
    Sagna - Simpson - Dier (Cresswell, Wollscheid)
    Ramsey - De Bruyne - Özil - Mahrez (Lanzini)
    Lukaku - Agüero - Ighalo

    Got 2FT 0,3 ITB.

    A) Ighalo, De Bruyne ->Kane, Barkley/Willian
    B) Lukaku, Lanzini -> Kane, sub 4,6 midfielder
    C) ???

    1. Mayo for Sam
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wait and see how Iggy does tonight, Lulaku has good fixtures and KDB has Sunderland coming up.. I'd hold off. Simp/Wolls to Targett?

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

    This week is Sunderland vs Bournemouth

    Woud you back PvA or Daniels to score more?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      PvA

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Both to concede and blank hopefully

      1. HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Both good options for a 3rd/4th defender at good prices. One on pens.

        Thinking of Daniels due to better fixtures

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Payet heading for another rise 😯

    Tempted to drop Mahrez for him.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Same. Too bad I'm 0.2 short.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe downgrade Bellerin or Ward

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe Bellerin for Jagielka?

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      How did u do in the end this week Kuqi?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        80 points. About average here

        1. FPL Mentor
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Smashed it then.. Bet u were chuffed with that Stoke v Arsenal 0-0 lol.

          Iggy and Siggy to go for me tonight. Fingers crossed.

        2. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Lol get out

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Well in gw21 I got 24 points. No goals, assist or clean sheets 😀

            1. Acquafresca
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              I got 20. Still get out 😉

              1. S.Kuqi
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                LoL. 20 points 😀

                24 feels like success then

              2. Mr Pink
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                Haha, my bench got 21, last GW 😛

                My team got 24, though...

  8. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Bellerin to Baines?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Bellerin is a season keeper

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Very tough fixtures coming up

        1. Syd.
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Everton are still more likely to concede

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I'm contemplating getting rid of Bellerin myself.

  9. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Ozil and Ivanovic to firmino and moreno?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Knee jerk central

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Even purely for pols next few fixtures? Arsenal and Chelsea fixture is next...

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Ivan > Moreno for real?

  10. KOLASINA(C)
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Oh, Aguero is already 13.3? Hmm, I'd let him injured himself I think...

  11. Le Blues
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    6000 people have transferred out Payet. Wait what ?!

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      40,000+ have removed Barkley and Lukaku. 😯

  12. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Teams with good fixtures in the next 4-6

    Liverpool
    Everton
    United
    Tottenham
    West Brom
    West Ham

    Who else?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      To me City fixtures looks pretty good as well. If Kolarov is out for more than 4 weeks I might bring Clichy in

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Stoke in 25,26,27,28

  13. dmhomag
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Payet choo choo over?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Not According to Fpl stats

    2. Trae44
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Only just begun

  14. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Just worked out I have enough funds to swap Moreno, Alli and Kane to Baines, Stanislas and Costa.

    So likely I'll do the first transfer this week, save my other FT, and do the other 2 next week for free.

    Good plan?

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Any reasoning?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Kane and Alli have decent fixtures

        2. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          I think Kane is better than Costa, Baines is over-priced and Stan may not be nailed on much longer.

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Hell to the no

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I need to mix it up if I'm any chance of winning my ML. Moreno can't keep a CS, we know what Baines can do. Alli is my fifth mid so getting Stanislas eases my benches headache. And I've wanted Costa for the last couple weeks.

        Kane is a poor pick imo, most of his shots coming outside the box now and he doesn't even look dangerous. Very jammy goal and assist on the weekend

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Costa is injured dude..

          1. Venom Snake
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            I'm sure he'll be back in by GW 24 when they have Watford

            1. Acquafresca
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Wait and see. Definitely not worth it this week

              1. Venom Snake
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 5 months ago

                Like I said I'll do Moreno to Baines this week, then the next two for GW 24

                1. Acquafresca
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 5 months ago

                  Moreno potential dgw. I would hold

                2. Eden Hazardous
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 5 months ago

                  I don't think Baines is any more attacking than Moreno and Liverpool will 100% get more CS than Everton

  15. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Lineup for next week :

    De Gea
    Bellerin, Alderweireld, Baines
    Alli, Payet, KDB, Ozil
    Aguero(c), Lukaku(vc), Ighalo

    Subs: Butland, Mahrez, Dawson, Ward

    Right starting XI and subs order?

  16. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Which looks best? 2FTs

    A) KDB Mahrez > Silva Payet
    B) KDB Mahrez > Barkley Payet
    C) Mahrez Bellerin > Payet Evans
    D) Mahrez Bellerin > Payet Daniels
    E) Mahrez Bellerin > Payet Jags

    1. Trae44
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      A

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        A and B mean no direct route to Alexis without a hit. Still A?

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      E

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      D or E

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Could also go PVA... So many options

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Will he score 4 or 5 times in row? Doubt it.

        2. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          He doesn't have the fixtures.

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      E

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        E because it enables Sanchez move later and KDB could do some serious damage in next 2-3 gws.

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          KDB away form is absolutely horrid

          1. Don Look Back in Wenger
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            cant rid kdb with dgw is around the corner. and silva is now back really helps with kdb output

    5. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I like B best out of those choices.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Does Barkley have good stats? 3/4 home games is might tempting.

        All I know is he shoots... A lot

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Nothing special in the last few weeks, but he has had hard fixtures. I presumed you were considering him on the off chance he gets an early double gameweek.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            This and the 3/4 home games tempts me. and the fact that Everton score loads

            1. Don Look Back in Wenger
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              yep barkley probably wont emulate his double double-digit but i can totally see him and lukaku going on a rampage mode in that 3/4 home games

  17. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    What are the chances of Ben Foster replacing Myhill for the next two juicy home fixtures?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully high. Would force Myhill owners' hands to waste a FT on GK

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I don't get how it's a 'waste' of a FT. If you have a non-playing or low scoring GK and you upgrade to a decent scoring one, it's a good use of a FT, just like in any other position.

      2. Don Look Back in Wenger
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        should i start myhill and ddg sub in then? both at home and i do have evans as well

  18. MiguelAngel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Morning lads. Sound advice needed please:

    Eliot Hennessey
    Toby Azpi Simpson Evans Wolly
    Alli Mahrez Yaya Payet Ozil
    Costa Kane Aguero

    2 FT. £0.0

    A) Azpi & Costa > Baines & Lukaku
    B) Costa > Lukaku
    C) Azpi & Costa > Daniels & Lukaku (allows for Sanchez)
    D) something else

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      c

      1. MiguelAngel
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        That's my preference

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      a

  19. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    I don't like the Newcastle fixtures so won't be bringing Wijnaldum.

    Firmino is definitely my midfielder of choice as a Mahrez replacement. Looks really sharp too.

    Which defender to downgrade to create 0.1M?

    Bellerin (bought him at 5.6 currently 6.1) Evans(good fixtures) Smith (fixtures good cheapie) Moreno (probable DGW upcoming and fixtures) Toby (bought him at 5.1)

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Still would be Moreno ( i own him). Double game week would prob bring 4 points

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        As another owner, I'm inclined to agree.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          He has looked very likely to score.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            This. Explosion imminent surely.

            I expect a 15pter in the next 10 weeks or so

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Gotta be Bellerin or Smith (> Targett)

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Smith --> Targett?

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Great option this. Was thinking of playing Smith this GW.

  20. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Toby must sod off.

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Is he in your team?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        yeah. scores of 1;6;6;1;8(benched him);2;2 since I bought him. sold VVD for him...he scored actually the same(26) over the same period.

        Grrrrr....

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Conceding just the one goal. Be patient.

      He's good really good goal threat too.

          Sheeit happens. You have a good team and aguero. Not too many worries.

    looking at upcoming fixtures and a lack of baps from Bellerin, looking at:
    Bellerin --> Jagielka?

    yay or nay?

      Not my cup of tea.

    I don't know what to do with 2 FTs

    1. Francescoli

      in the same boat

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        In Pulis we trust. If he can't get a CS vs Aston Villa at home, then this is truly the most odd season of FPL ever.

        Might invest at the back

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years

          yeah i have been eyeing off dawson and jagielka.

          A derby is different type of game, not suprised if av score

    Would you in one of next gws
    Payet and 5th midfielder alli to sanchez gosling?

    Maybe i can ignore Firmino and get in Barkley as an early DGW investment. Or Mirallas as a punt.

    Interesting. Did Martinez say something about Kevin?

      Hey stop copying me 😉

        Mirallas?

        I'm not keen on Barkley and i really like Firmino.

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Too much flair dude. Not sure he's nailed

            Second half of the season. With a stable squad, you are allowed one flair player.

            Atleast i'm not worried about playing with flair.

            1. Acquafresca
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Flair is good. But if Mirallas isnt nailed not worth the risk IMO.

    2. Trae44

      Hope Pool get one, would love to take a punt on Firmino

    3. Ksimparomenos

      8 years, 5 months ago

      Same dilemma. Both are likely to have a double. Firmino more likely to score, Barkley more likely to assist. Hard choice. if u have Lukaku maybe go for Firmino but i am also tempted to double up on Everton with those fixtures

      Before they get a DGW, they will also have a blank week..
      And hope you assessing the players available for the blank week also.. 🙂

    Who is a good replacement option for Mahrez those who already have Payet?

    1. Ksimparomenos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      i would keep Mahrez, but if u insist Alli

    Hey does anyone know any articles discussing or have info for the potential double gameweeks? Which teams have potential for them and when could they possibly be?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Would be those playing in the CapitalOne Cup & FA Cup replays I guess.

  29. S.Kuqi

    Just did comparison between KDB's home - away key stats.

    Away:

    Pen box touches: 47 % less

    Chances created: 36 % less

    Goal attempts: 23 % less

    Nothing new here but need re think his spot in my team.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Swap him to get Kun in..
      Kun is a better option for City's attack

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Can you do a Silva home away comparison. Want to see the difference
