    No game for our friend Mike Dean this weekend: https://www.premierleague.com/news/311022?sf51162399=1

      bad news for spurs

        Rumours are that he's booked this weekend off for a stag in Amsterdam.

      Captain for this weekend:
      A) Hazard
      B) Sanchez
      C) Alli
      D) Zlatan
      E) Coutinho
      F) Phillips

      1. Epic Fail

        B or D

        1. Epic Fail

          Or A

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years

            You narrowed down perfectly well.

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            E And F are also good options, and arguably C.

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years

              How about G: Other?

      2. MidasBoys XI

        G) Pedro

    4. McGrubbs

      How nailed on do ppl think Awobi is? Currently mulling over him vs Stanislas...

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Unlikely to complete 90 minutes most games and could be dropped at any point

      2. Gareth nose
        • 9 Years

        75%

    5. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1 FT and 0.2 itb.

      Mannone - Grant
      Bellerin - Aké - Amat - McAuley - Alonso
      Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Allen - Clayton
      Costa - Rondon - Zlatan

      1st transfer has to be a chelsea player out. I am also worried about Bellerin's red flag, but hopeful he can pull through.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Wait for Costa info

    6. Lookalu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Boruc Grant
      Alonso Baines Jones Chambers Amat
      Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Phillips De Roon
      Ibra Giroud Rondon

      1300 OR, 1FT & 2.1 ITB.

      I want triple spurs for after city but unsure which two: Walker/Alli/Kane

      a) save FT this week and do Amat & Hazard to Alli & Walker
      b) save FT this week and do Giroud & Hazard to Alli & Kane
      c) Do Giroud to Lukaku this week, then just one of Amat/Hazard/Lukaku to Walker/Alli/Kane next week.
      d)Do Giroud to Lukaku this week, then just two of Amat/Hazard/Lukaku to Walker/Alli/Kane next week for a hit.

      Thoughts?

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        B

    7. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years

      If you're on a wildcard, what team would you have??

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Jonty's team

      2. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Heaton, Jakupovic/Pickford
        Rose, Baines, (Depends on budget), Chambers, 3.9
        Sánchez, Alli, (Depends on budget), Phillips, Iwobi.
        Ibrahimovic, Kane/Lukaku(or even Kun), Crouch/Barnes.

      3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Heaton Jaku/Pickford
        Alonso Walker Baines Chambers Love
        Sanchez Eriksen Alli/Coutinho Phillips de Roon
        Ibra Costa Lukaku

        OR

        Kane/Pedro instead of Costa & one of the Spurs mids

    8. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What would be a better backline:

      Alonso Baines Brunt then two 3.9s or Alonso Baines Chambers 4.4, 3.9?

      I know both aren't ideal but desperately need the cash for the front seven

    10. La Roja

      Costa is going down again, blimey.

      His ownership was around 48% until Friday evening.

      3 days later, reduced %33. Ridiculously fast.

      I'm keeping him. Have a feeling he will start vs Hull.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Hopefully he goes down two more times before conference

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Already gone down -2 so only -1 left

        2. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I think he's already done 2 drops this GW - only one more possible.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            It's likely he will go down tonight. Phew

            1. Ha.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Just in time to be confirmed as a starter for Hull 😛

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I think we'll know if he will or won't, definitely worth waiting for the pressure. If he apologises then he's straight back in my team

        • Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Cue Costa starting and getting a red card for violent conduct.

        • BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I sold him last week. Reluctantly. Was bleeding value and Giroud was on fire. Will be gutting if Giroud ruled out and Costa kills it this week. 🙁

        • Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Same... potentially captain material if we knew he'd start

        • Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I'm keeping for news too. Also have a feeling he'll start this weekend.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Nailed on for armband if confirmed he is starting

      4. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Any help would be appreciated lads (and possible ladies?).

        De Gea (Jaku)
        PVA, Alonso, McAuley (Jones, Ake)
        Antonio, Eriksen, Sanchez, Phillips (Puncheon)
        Ibra Giroud Rondon

        2.2 ITB 1 FT.

        Quite a few things I want to possibly do...

        1) Ake to Baines
        2) PVA to Baines
        3) Antonio to Cout
        4) Giroud to Kaku (Wait on injury news of course)
        5) Puncheon to Pedro (Give myself a selection headache)

        What would you do in this situation, I have more combinations of transfers I could make but these are my top options.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          1

          1. greghammer95
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Reason I'm doubting this one is I think it'll leave me with too much value in defense. Need to downgrade De Gea and PVA also. Having said that at this point in time I don't need the value anywhere else.

        2. Alexis Nonsense
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          You need to fix pne of these:

          Rondon or Puncheon

          You want to play one of them and they are both really bad (in FPL)

          So going 3-5-2 fix Puncheon to Pedro
          If 3-4-3 then Rondon to Defoe maybe?

          1. greghammer95
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I like Rondon and I'm more than happy with him for the next 6 weeks! 🙂 Thanks though and I can see why you'd think to get rid.

            His fixtures are so tasty, purposely doubled up with Phillips. Puncheon is my bench fodder at the moment, hence why getting Pedro in for him would give me a selection headache.

      5. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero vs Spurs doesn't fill me with confidence, but I'm going to keep. Pep can't line up in a 4231 again against Spurs or they'll get smashed.

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Watch him 😛

        2. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          They will get smashed no matter what. I'd sell him without doubt

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            He has a good run of fixtures after Spurs and cream always rises to the top.

            I'd like to see a 3421 to match Spurs with Silva and De Bruyne behind Aguero, Sterling and Sané on the flanks or Kolarov and Sagna if they want to go more defensive.

              Pep doesn't like cream

        3. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Fancy Spurs to dissect them tbh.

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Plus Kun appears noto to be playing as an out and out striker....dropping deep and wide etc....

            This city team isn't geared around him like previously.

            I regret bringing him in for the Burnley match.....think I've had with him....the cash to be used elsewhere will be much more useful

            1. Sweetboi
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, times are changing...it used to be if he's fit he's in my team. Kane/Ibra/Kaku much better options, even without considering the extra money they give you.

        4. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Pep should go back to his 3-2-4-1 with Sane and Sterling as wing-back for this game, would make an interesting spectacle.

          I'm also keeping Kun, think he'll come good after Spurs.

        5. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Oddly, I have a feeling City will spank Spurs. Would be typical Spurs. 😀

        If that article about Matip is true than Nyom will be pretty fekked too. Too much power is given to the national football association. Players should be free to make their own choices.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          what nationality is Nyom?
          The Matip issue reeks of incompetence by FIFA

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            He is Scottish. But denying it

          2. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Cameroon as well, they're stubborn af.

          3. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Cameroon too. I think this article points towards incompetence in both FIFA and Cameroon FA - FIFA for having crappy rules which give the national FAs the ultimate power to fekk with their players - and Cameroon FA for applying this.

        2. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          I was literally about to say this mate lol, looks like Nyom is out for me - also have ? over Giroud! Need some more info before making my changes it seems...

        3. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I don't know the full details - but didn't Pulis state that if Cameroon wanted him, he would go? But they didn't pick him in the squad - In which case he should be ok for WBA.

        4. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Can't they just 'retire' from International football?

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            That was what Matip did earlier in autumn, but Cameroon FA didn't accept it apparently.

        Hello....

        I have a front line on ibra kane and Kun and want to pull the trigger on Kun this week....

        Who is the better option out of...

              • 14 Years

              So you have Kane Ibra Kun currently.

          Kun to Kaku for sure. Or Giroud if he's passed fit.

          Defoe - regular scorer, not on and off like Lukaku. On pens and allows you to strengten other parts of your team

        Bellerin, Gibbs and Coquelin have all returned to full training. The trio will be available on Sunday *barring any setbacks. #AFC

        Giroud ankle injury is not as bad as initially feared, the striker continues to be assessed. #AFC optimistic he could be ready for Sunday.

        Big D, says Giroud injury not as bad as first feared. Arsenal optimistic that he makes it for Sunday

          this is arsenal, he could well end up out for 6 months.

          See Wilshere/Cazorla for recent examples

        Henessey - Jaku
        Alonso - Rose - McAuley - Chambers - Muniesa
        Eriksen - Alli - Pedro - Sanchez - Philips
        Ibra - Costa - Barnes

        0.4 ITB and 0 FT. GTG?

        P.S: Ik for sure Costa is staying and playing next week and should I degrade Philips to Stan and McAuley to Baines?

        Aprt from that what are some suggestions?

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

          No way, good to go

      14. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years

        If Costa is ready to play is it template?

        Heaton, Jakupovic
        Alonso, Baines, Evans, Chambers, Holgate
        Sanchez, Coutinho/Lallana, Eriksen, Phillips/Stanislas, de Roon
        Ibra, Costa, Lukaku

        Is this a safe template front for now?

        Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Lallana, de Roon
        Ibra, Lukaku, Rondon

        1. The Head-Ake

        Snap Poll,
        A.if you've sold Costa. yes or no
        B. If yes for who?
        trying to gauge what the mood concerning him is

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          A. Yes (last GW)
          B Giroud (but looking to switch him to Lukaku)

          1. The Head-Ake
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            No way would I sell Costa. Hes not going anywhere. When you win 13 games in a row and are at the top of the table, you'd expect media to crap their way in and play mind games.

      18. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just thinking about the reverse fixture when Arsenal narrowly beat Burnley 1-0. Thinking Giroud might be the man to unlock the Burnley defence with his hold-up play and heading ability. Hope he is fit for the weekend..

          I'd be happy if Kosc scored again 😀

          Burnley a less tough nut to crack when playing away.

          wasn't it a dodgy goal for Arsenal anyway - handball or offside?

        Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Stanislas Fletcher
        Kane Zlatan Giroud
        £0.1 ITB 1FT

        Any moves or bank the FT?

        Tempted by Hazard and Holebas to Coutinho and Alonso for -4?

        1. greghammer95
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Keep Haz for one more week, guaranteed start vs Hull. Cout equally good fixture but not guaranteed to start so not worth the -4. Your defense is half decent this week. Bank the FT unless Giroud news.

          1. The Head-Ake
            • 9 Years

            Its sad you don't have any Spurs or Chelsea defender

        Hi,
        I've already made my free transfer for this GW. Now, if I activate Wild card, then will that transfer will come under wild card and I will get 2 transfers next week, or I've lost my free transfer?

        1. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Once WC active, you lose the free transfer and would get just one the following GW. I don't like that rule. At all.

          probably there's always an Arsenal injury absence in midfield!!

      22. Kuyt Hero

        Grant Jaku
        Alonso Evans* Holebas Vertonghen* Amat*
        Sanchez Haz Firmino Snoddy Fletcher
        Defoe Ibra Giroud*

        * are injury doubts / Amat who's prob not gonna play

        Had Snoddy to Phillips planned this week. Do I do Vertonghen to Baines for -4 or just hope Evans is fit?

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Wait on Evans news but I'd probs put Baines in anyway. I've transferred him in myself & am on a -4

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            In fact I did this just in case Baines rose in price last night, but he didn't. He most likely will tonight so decide soon!
