    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah that's worth it if you're gonna play Allen

      1. DASHING FC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep playing 3-5-2

  4. FPLH Chief

    Kosc, Walker, Smith (Holebas, Pieters)
    Walcott, Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho (Allen)

    3. ILOVEBAPS

      C. Nice team

  6. xtremesid
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Repost plz advise
    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

    1. KDF
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Son should be to Hazard or Coutinho or similar

      I applaud the 3-3-3 formation though 🙂

      1. xtremesid
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Dont have the funds - will have to take a hit to get Coutinho. Anyone else in the present situation ?
        And was playing Son - other defender is Amat. 🙂

        1. KDF
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah I considered that it would be a hit but really Son to Redmond is a downgrade too far. At this point that should really be an upgrade and I would look at ways to do it.

          Cech to Heaton?
          Matic to bench fodder?
          Coleman to Morgan?

          I would keep to make a move that would get you a worthy upgrade. Hazard would be the dream as you don't have Costa but that will surely need a hit even if you save the FT

    2. DASHING FC
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Save FT, wait for int break then assess. Possibly Matic and Son to Fletch and Coutinho?

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What are Arsenal defender owners doing. Keeping or selling?

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      selling to fund hazard after this GW 😯

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        For who are you selling?

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Monreal + either Firmino/Coutinho to Hazard and Cedric Soares (assuming he's back)

          Want a piece of Southampton defence and think Hazard is gonna get 200 points +

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Those Soton fixtures looks bit tricky in defensive perspective.

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Buying one this week. No idea why anyone would sell.

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      keeping

    4. chr12345
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping Kosc for now. May transfer out for Alonso in a few games

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have 2 and will keep

    6. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping and benching.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        that's a mistake.

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I hardly think so:

          27 Nov 14:15 13 Bournemouth (H)
          03 Dec 17:30 14 West Ham (A)
          10 Dec 15:00 15 Stoke (H)
          13 Dec 19:45 16 Everton (A)

    7. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      keeping

    8. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping Mustafi for now. Think I'll be selling in week 14 for a Spurs defender.

    9. COYS Down Under
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I do want to downgrade either Clyne or Bellerin next week so it depends on how they perform this weekend.

      Bellerin > 5.0m does give me the funds to take Son up to Hazard though so there is that.

    10. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping and playing.

    11. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping this week at least

  8. Grand Maester Juan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed
    A) Evans
    B) Nyom
    C) Pieters

    Which one ?

    1. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

  9. MagnetBPS
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Defoe-> Austin ; Have redmond

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

      I wouldn't

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Do it.

  10. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton
    Clyne Evans Pieters
    Antonio Firmino Gundogan Coutinho
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero (c)

    Pickford Capoue Vertonghen Amat

    Good to go?

  11. Alejo - CFC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What is the latest on Bellerin & Walcott? Should I sell ?

    1. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott may nly be on bench and will eventually be rotation risk...

      I'm getting rid....he drops again tonight....and I want Hazard long term....

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

        Should start and I really don't see much rotation risk for him other than an occasional rest.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Should start , best value mid in the game imo

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Good, that hammy looks fine.

      2. Alejo - CFC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers
        Think ill stick

  12. Shrimpy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Right, so 2 free transfers, 1.1 in the bank. Thinking about a -4 possibly, can I get some suggestions on these transfers please?

    Foster, Pickford
    Valencia*, Lovren, Pieters, Evans, Amat
    Alexis, Mane, Arnie*, Antonio, Capoue
    Kun, Deeney, Defoe*

    Valencia > Fuchs, Arnie > Firmino/Coutinho, Defoe > Austin.

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's a good start...

  13. Moore FPL
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What would you do? 2FT, 0.3 ITB

    Heaton Pickford
    Walker Holebas Smith McCauley Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Walcott Allen Capoue
    Aguerro Costa Lukaku

    I want to do Walcott -> Coutinho but would need to find an extra 0.5 from somewhere.
    Currently thinking Sterling -> Lallana as Liverpool have good fixtures plus I could then upgrade Amat next week.

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lallana not doing much. Walcott could be fit for Sunday too. Maybe Sterling > Gundogan?

      1. Moore FPL
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, could be an option. Not sure how nailed Gundogan is tho. I do like City's fixtures.

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Capoue downgrade. Save the other. That's it. Rethink over the break.

      1. Moore FPL
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ah good point, had forgotten about the break

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

        This

  14. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A or B wise folks? 🙂

    A. Coleman > Fuchs

    B. Capoue > Gundogan (would be starting)

    1. chr12345
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Both are good IMO. 2 FTs?

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Would be taking a hit.

    2. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If I had to pick 1 I'd go B

  15. faulksp
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Walcott to Gundogen ...good or bad

    I have 2 ft

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm considering this

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

      Very bad

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

      bad

    4. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I was tempted but decided against... For now at least.

    5. faulksp
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Gonna hold off ..thanks

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Brunt will score this weekend. Probably a pen

  17. chr12345
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Current team is:

    Heaton. Jaku
    Koscienly, Evans, Williams, Amat, Lovren
    Sterling, Walcott, Coutinho, Firmino, Matic
    Lukaku, Aguero, Austin

    a) Firmino, Sterling, Matic > Hazard, Allen, Fletcher
    b) Koscielny > Alonso

    Yes or no?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B for me.

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B out of the 2

  18. Besaid_Auroch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    When will Hazard price rise? Have enough in the bank to buy him for 10.0 next week but no more.

    1. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Tonight.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no

  21. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Could I get a definitive show of hands for Walcott to Firmino for a hit?

    Currently have Sanchez and no LFC attacking cover.

    Yes or no?

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

      Not for a hit

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

      No

  22. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    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???

    1. Capoue & Sterling >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan
    2. Sterling & Son >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan
    3. Capoue & Son >>>> Coutinho & Gundogan

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      3

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

      3 is so much the clear choice that it looks ridiculous that you've listed the other two.

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

      Easily 3

  23. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Playing McAuley. Foster or Pickford?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Foster still

    2. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

  24. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    allen or gundo long term ?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Neither is long term materila imo

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Allen is good while Stoke have a good run.

  25. Blue&White85

    Does anybody think Sterling might be at risk of rotation this weekend? I'm considering putting him in but just got a feeling he might get a rest as he's played more games than almost everybody and they should be fine without him. Thoughts?

      Worried about it myself but at least he was subbed after 70 minutes against Barca.

        I'm thinking about waiting as close to 2 as possible tomorrow to see if there is any early team news.

      if that's what you think, form indicates otherwise

        Wally has great form and Sterling is getting back to form.
