    Yaya apology seems to be taken well by Pep

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd bet my life's earnings he won't play this weekend and Gundog will!!

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They bought him a lovely cake and all was forgiven

  2. Home Run Baker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which would you drop to get Coutinho?

    A Walcott - injury risk, good form, couple of poor fixtures
    B Stirling - better fixtures but a little out of form

    Thank you

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years

      Wally now. I think we'll be excited about Raheem in a little while again.

    3. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years

    5. Chris_H

      This week or can you wait? Also do you have Sanchez?

    6. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling was quality vs Barca and got an assist. Could have had more.

      Personally I'd keep more this week and reassess next week.

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    G2G?... having to take my first hit of the season like!

  4. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Should I take another hit (Already taken hit) to transfer out Shaqiri for Allen or Gundogan or play Holebas (4-3-3 formation)
    ITB = £0.9m

    Heaton
    Alonso, Smith, Morgan
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino, Shaqiri*
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin
    Sub: Pickford, Holebas, Fletcher, Amat

    1. fabiolanzoni

      9 years, 3 months ago

      Play Shaqiri.

  5. POKE JOHN BALLS THE SECOND
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who will you play

    A. Foster or Pickford

    B. Redmond or Allen

    Thanks

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐

  6. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling to?
    A. Hazard (-4)
    B. Coutinho

    front 8
    Sanchez Firmino Redmond Fletcher Sterling
    Kun Lukaku Wilson

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe Coutinho now and Firmino > Hazard for GW 15 ?

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard

    3. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd save for now

  7. Quansy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's a better investment, Austin and a defender worth 5.8, or Benteke and a defender worth 4.9?

  8. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Will Redmond's price fall over the break if he is benched?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      ffs

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Well I didn't see you complaining when people did this with Theo 😛

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Where's the info on him being dropped come from?

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Team news tab

    3. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't care if he's dropped because I've got the next Mahrez on the bench in Glenn Whelan.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Lol. I've got the next JT in Evans

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why would he be dropped? Strange person/robot.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Team news buddy. Check it out

  9. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is there no members cup?

    1. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tends to launch a few weeks later if memory serves me correctly

  10. Heavy Soul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Going AOA this week. Which 2 defenders get the start?

    A) Holbas (Liv)
    B) Walker (Ars)
    C) McAuley (Lei)
    D) Williams (Che)
    E) Amat (Mun)

    Pretty bad, huh?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You tell me, I have to play A B and C while my Cameron is still injured...

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Better than me, I'm starting Kelly and Evans in my AOA and benching Holebas William's and Amat! I'm just going by the easiest fixtures.

    3. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walker and McAuley I think

    4. Heavy Soul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all - hoping for some attacking returns!

  11. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Deeney -> Austin for free this week?

    1. Heavy Soul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        For a hit?

  12. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Carabao Cup sounds terrible.

  13. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    My team is:

    Pickford, Foster
    Kosc, Clyne, Smith, Amat, McAuley
    Sanchez, Capoue, Payet, Coutinho, Fletcher
    Aguero, Benteke, Deeney

    I have two free transfers. How does Capoue and Deeney to Allen and Austin sound?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds good

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Those are the exact transfers I did the other day, so I'm in favour of it. Both have good fixtures ahead, and they are performing better than the Watford duo lately.

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Way good.

    4. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would just do Deeney out as I'd assume you would play Austin each week anyway

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Well I took a hit to get Redmond in with Austin, I'm playing both. If Redmond doesn't play then I have Welsh Pirlo coming in. 😎

  15. Grand Maester Juan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Nyom nailed on in Pulis defence ?

  16. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hmmm... i've been thinking about this a lot. So
    Grant
    Williams Smith PVA
    Firm Cout Sanch Feo Allen
    Kun Kaka

    Foster Holebas Stuani Amat

    Stuani -> Austin for a hit in case Theo is out (or someone else)?
    Would mean benching Allen or playing AOA. Also getting Haz in later would get more complicated...

    Help a brother out.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I knew i could trust your opinions. Cheers.

    2. KDF
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      keep.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        One brave soul. Appreciated.

  17. Drogo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Grant, pickford

    Smith stones morgan amat holebas

    Couthino hazard sanchez gundogan capoue

    Lukaku aguero austin

    This is my WC team.

    Should I downgrade Hazard for firmino/walcott and upgrade the defense?

    1. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like... Walcott, De Bruyne, Hazard, Coutinho plus a 4.4 mid

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Heaton is a must.
      Amat is a doubt.
      Capoue is gw1.
      Otherwise Yep.

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Do not get Capoue on WC. Get a 4.4 mid.

      1. Drogo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I bought Capoue at gw1 so he only costed me 4.5. Only get 4.8 when i sell.

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Sell

  18. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez to De Bruyne? Jay or Nay?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    2. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nay

    3. xtremesid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nay

    4. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      De Bruyne is tempting but I think I'm going to hold on to Sanches for the time being.

  19. Give Me the Mane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Save FT? Good to go?

    Pickford

    Lowton Williams McAuley

    Sterling Walcott Sanchez Coutinho

    Aguero(C) Austin Costa

    Sub-Jaku Amat Smith Maloney

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      save

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Save or Williams to Fuchs

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Save

  20. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any changes needed or just save?

    Mandanda (Pickford)
    Stones Williams Evans (Holebas Amat)
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Walcott (Allen)
    Aguero Lukaku Austin

    Been thinking of the following options

    A) Williams --> VVD
    B) Sanchez --> KDB
    C) Save
    other ideas welcomed as well.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Save to have two for the break imo

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Will quite probably do that.

    2. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice front 7, Save FT

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks and thanks

    3. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lovely front lot, I'd save it. And I'd consider playing Holebas, Liverpool are going to concede, might as well play their free kick taker.

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Yeah it's between Evans and Holebas for me might still play Holebas.

  21. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So, 2 questions for me......

    1. To play
    A. Pickford
    B. Grant

    2. To bench
    A. Allen
    B. Deeney
    C. Milner

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Grant
      Milner

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would pick Pickford to play

    3. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      AA

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years

        Thanks all
        Currently on AA

  22. Kudo Warrior
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of KDB starting? Kinda worried about him or Kun starting...

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Surely both?

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Fingers crossed!

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why on earth are you worried about either not starting you strange person.

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        KDB back from injury could be given a rest? (Over thinking it?)

        And the wealth of options could see them field a different side for a weak Boro?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Overthinking. Rest before international break rarely happens.

  23. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No idea how to set up my team this week.

    Injured Theo, 3 Watford away to Liverpool n Walker vs Kos isn't great. Fortunately I have 2.5Mil in the bank and 2FTs, but where to start?

    I'd like Theo and Deeney out but that still leaves defensive issues. Deeney Theo Walker to Austin Smith Hazard?

    Heaton Pickford
    Holebas Walker Kos Evans Amat
    Walcott Allen Firmino Sterling Capoue
    Aguero Deeney Costa

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Good plan.

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Actually thinking Deeney isn't worth a hit. Walker and Walcott to Fuchs and Hazard

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Don't know. Austin might tear it up. But that's good too.

        2. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Keep Walker

  24. Woody01

    Townsend > Romeu or can you think of someone better for that kind of price?

    1. Son > to whom ? I was thinking Redmond but TEAM NEWS tab says he could be benched. Son has dropped significantly and I am tempted to get him off.
    2. Coleman > Fuchs
    3. Save FT

    ITB 0.7
    How does this look ? Any other change other than above question ?

    Cech
    Coleman - Smith - Lovren
    Sanchez - Allen - Firmino
    Kun(C) - Lukaku - Rondon

    Jaku - Son - Matic - Evans

      I'd get Alonso for the long run. Scmeichel out swayed it for me.

    This is my current team.

    Grant
    Walker/ Kosc/ Holebas
    Capoue / Firmino/ Son/ Sanchez/ Sterling
    Kun/ Lukaku

    Looking to do the following transfers. Are they worth doing???

    Capoue & Sterling >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan
    Sterling & Son >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan
    Capoue & Son >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan

    People selling Sterling this week are going to have deep regrets come end of the weekend.

      I hope so, I've stuck with him.

      I think the wing back position, combined with nolito/sane/navas as rotation threats to the wide positions are the main concerns, less hassle with other picks?

        Long term maybe, but this week he'll be play and great fixture. Plus he wasn't playing wing back other night and imagine city will be four at the back again this week given how poor boro are going forward.

          completely agree, this season though seems to be 2 bad weeks (sometimes even 1) and you're out. fickle

            Yeah it's been mad this season. Guess it's because so many choices. I keep on jumping on players too late. Son was a classic example.

      I agree

      Unlikely

    What's the general concensus on playing either:

    A) Holebas

    B) Pieters

      A - Set pieces, more advanced position.
