Non FPL player related:

How do I see the cut-off scores for the Last Man Standing Competition? Also, might be a stupid question, but if you don't get to the safety score, you're removed from the league on the fpl site I presume?

Alright late night tinkers and early risers, hope we're all doing well.

I'm still shuffling about on my WC at almost 5am 😀

Is 3-5-2 insanity? I've never used it before but I'm currently looking to run this:

Foster / Pickford

Williams / Lovren / Stones / Amat / Francis

Sánchez / Walcott / Mané / Sterling / Firmino

Agüero / Rashford / Grabben

The other draft I had before had Lukaku instead of Grabben and Carrick for Firmino however I just feel there's more value in Midfield right now and it also give's me an extra 1mil to upgrade my defence.

Any thought's would be great, thanks.

Play snoddy or Capoue

Redmond Townsend and Barkley to Iwobi Townsend and Lallana is all I want to change about my team tbh

Play Vertonghen (MCI) or Gibson (whu)?

Jonathan Benteke (knee) ruled out for 3-4 months, confirms Pardew.

I thought Jonathan & CBenteke ruled out for 3-4 months

Thank god lol.

BTW no one considering to Captain Hazard?

Flat track bully, no?

Had Lukaku captain all week but the news about a lingering toe problem has given me concerns,
-he could be less than 100%
-could be taken off early
-could take another knock and come off

It should be an easy decision to switch to Sanchez but
-Burnley are reasonably solid at home
-midweek game where he played 90 mins

Lukaku and Sanchez owners without Ibra, who is your choice?

I'm still no closer to deciding this damn armband.

Lukaku - home, scored 4 in 5 games on pens vs a defensively very avg Palace. Does have a toe issue and is a Troll. But best Fixture. Has scored in 3 of the last 4 against Palace. and there was a Baines pen in there too which he'd now have.Palace conceded 2 against a rubbish SUN with no Dann at the back. Not sure James Tomkins is feared by any striker. Palace away P3 conceded 4.

Kun - in form - on pens, scored 5 goals in 4 PL appearances - against poor opposition though (sun stk swa) - Spurs haven't conceded more than 1 goal in a game yet. Man City missing KDB. Spurs beat City twice last year, home and away. Prior to last years defeats, Kun had scored 9 in 4 games against Spurs. Think this is a far better Spurs team than then though. Spurs away, P3 conceded 2.

Sanchez - in form - 4 goals in his last 4 PL appearances. Sanchez has played against Burnley 3 times and scored 3 goals. People are saying Burnley are solid at the back... hmmm not sure. They kept Liverpool out GW2, but they've also had 3 put past them twice. Against Chelsea and Leicester. Both away - their home form is much better. Played 4 conceded 2. Arsenal do look in the mood at the moment.

For some reason my head is saying Lukaku.
But City and Arseanl are in the mood for scoring goals. Lukaku or Sanchez...... arrrggghhhhh

Will GW7 be part of September or October?

morning dzzz....bummed that sanchez rose, was planning to get him in tonight.

My transfer for this gw depends on if I am WC-ing next gw. Initial plan was to hit the WC to bring in kun but i realised i can get kun without using WC and i am generally happy with my mids hence not sure anymore. 2m itb

Foster jaku
valencia stones friend pieters souare
firmino antonio ozil capoue sterling
ibra kaku benteke

A: stones >> bellerin IF i am WC-ing next gw to bring in kun, sort out defence, get rid jaku and maybe ozil
B: souare >> holebas, NO WC and just do ibra >> kun gw8 and gradually sort out def over time

Anybody tempted by Lukaku Captain? Kind of want to veer from Aguero and not sure it is Alexis' week...oh and I don't own Ibra.

KDB has more captaincy votes than Ozil & Sterling. Is this because people have still got him with a good VC?

Will there be a Man U presser today? Hoping to hear some team news before getting in Rashford

who should i drop

A, Walker
B. Kone
C. Capoue

team is :
Foster
Walker, A.smith, Kone, Amat, Baines
Mane, Sterling, Antonio, Firmino, Capoue
Lukaku, Kun, Deeney

Either i play AOA and have double Watford or I play walker, kone and Smith and risk the chance of amat coming on

Thought on this wc team?

Pickford
Blind Evans Friend (or other 4.5)
Alexis Sterling Coutinho Capoue
Kun Costa Rashford

Boruc Snodgrass Vertonghen Lenihan

Which is the better option? Leaning towards B for some United cover this gw.

A. Kdb Baines > Williams Sanchez
B. Kdb diomande > Rashford Walcott and play AOA chip

Cech Pickford
BAINES SOUARE Evans holebas Amat
KDB Payet coutinho snodgrass Bolasie
Kun Costa diomande

Who's the best budget defender these days? I have Shaw, Stones, Morgan, McAuley and Friend and trying to scrape a bit of cash here and there.

Foster (Pickford)
Walker Smith Holebas (Baines,Amat)
Sanchez Capoue Antonio Mane (Bolasie)
Kun Kaku Rashford

1FT,0.5 ITB
1) Should I play Foster or Pickford/Capoue or Bolasie?
2) Get Koscielny for Baines or just play Walker?
3) Should I use AOA instead and bench Walker?

Those with Baines and a FT are you keeping or sending him on his way?

Tempted to bring in an Arsenal defender for their next 4

Is it still worth bringing in Coleman or Vert? Or should I just go for Bournemouth/Watford defenders?

Best 5m defender to complete this defence?

cech pickford
5m evans holebas amat souare

Thoughts on Payet (C)?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if Lee Grant will keep getting game time over Given whilst Butland is out? He has some glorious fixtures ahead and he's only 4mil

Evans an able deputy for Baines this GW to save the FT (AOA played last week)?

Good morning DZ.

Want to take a one week punt on Hazard before I WC.

-25%. Surely he won't drop before his game?

Thanks.

Your help would be appreciated, which is the better midfield option ?

Schmeichel
Coleman, Valencia, McAuley
Sterling, Sanchez, Bolasie, ..?..,
Ibrahimovic, Benteke, Lukaku

A) Lalana
B) Walcott
C) Son
D) Sanchez out, Hazard + Silva in

walcott firminho sterling antonio (capoue)
kun ibra lukaku
