Following on from our first look at the minutes played over the international break, itโ€™s now time check-in on the final ten clubs.

With domestic matters ready to recommence on Saturday, players who have featured on the other side of the world, particularly on either Tuesday night or the early hours of Wednesday morning, could well arrive back on our shores late and potentially fatigued.

That is a factor to consider as we plan for Gameweek 30, and the two that follow in quick succession. With that in mind, we take time out to review those involved over the international fixtures, assessing the likely impact on the weekend teamsheets and beyond.

Manchester United

Jose Mourinho is expected to be without defenders Phil Jones and Chris Smalling for the home clash against West Bromwich Albion, after the pair suffered injuries while on international duty with England. Marouane Fellaini will also have to be checked after picking up a toe problem for Belgium, while Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo and Antonio Valencia will need to be assessed following the long flights back from South America.

David de Gea and Ander Herrera โ€“ Spain (24/03 (h) v Israel in Gijon and 28/03 (a) v France in Paris) โ€“ De Gea played all 180 minutes. Herrera was limited to 16 minutes off the bench in the 2-0 friendly win over France.
Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo โ€“ Argentina (23/03 (h) v Chile in Buenos Aires and 28/03 (a) v Bolivia in La Paz) โ€“ Both Romero and Rojo played all 180 minutes.
Antonio Valencia โ€“ Ecuador (23/03 (a) v Paraguay in Asunciรณn and 28/03 (h) v Colombia in Quito) โ€“ Played all 180 minutes.
Matteo Darmian โ€“ Italy (24/03 (h) v Albania in Palermo and 28/03 (a) v Holland in Amsterdam) โ€“ Was an unused substitute against Albania, before playing 89 minutes in the 2-1 friendly win over Holland.
Eric Bailly โ€“ Ivory Coast (24/03 (a) v Russia in Krasnodar and 27/03 (n) v Senegal in Paris) โ€“ Played the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Russia, and 88 in Paris, before the match was abandoned.
Daley Blind โ€“ Holland (25/03 (a) v Bulgaria in Sofia and 28/03 (h) v Italy in Amsterdam) โ€“ Played the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 defeat to Bulgaria, and 83 minutes against Italy.
Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford โ€“ England (22/03 (a) v Germany in Dortmund and 26/03 (h) v Lithuania in London) โ€“ Shaw was limited to just seven minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Germany. Smalling played 84 minutes in Dortmund, but had to withdraw from the squad due to a leg injury. Jones, meanwhile, suffered a foot injury at the hands of Smalling in a training session, forcing him to pull out of the squad before the Germany clash. Lingard only played 19 minutes against Germany, while Rashford came off the bench in both matches, playing 20 minutes against Germany, and 30 minutes at Wembley.
Marouane Fellaini โ€“ Belgium (25/03 (h) v Greece in Brussels and 28/03 (a) v Russia in Sochi) โ€“ Played 66 minutes against Greece, but was forced off with a toe injury, which saw the midfielder sit out the friendly with Russia.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan โ€“ Armenia (26/03 (h) v Kazakhstan in Yerevan) โ€“ Played the full 90 minutes, and scored in the 2-0 win.

Middlesbrough

Steve Agnew will need to check on Cristhian Stuani ahead of Sundayโ€™s trip to Swansea City, although the extra days preparation should help the forwardโ€™s chances of being an option to start.

Cristhian Stuani โ€“ Uruguay (23/03 (h) v Brazil in Montevideo and 29/03 (a) v Peru in Lima) โ€“ Limited to just 32 minutes off the bench in the 4-1 defeat to Brazil.

Southampton

Maya Yoshida will discuss his fitness levels with manager Claude Puel before deciding whether will play Saturdayโ€™s home match against Bournemouth, with the centre-back certainly in line to be rested for one of Saintsโ€™ next three matches after playing 180 minutes for Japan. James Ward-Prowse and Nathan Redmond will be buoyed by making their senior England debuts in the 1-0 defeat to Germany.

Fraser Forster, Ryan Bertrand, James Ward-Prowse and Nathan Redmond โ€“ England (22/03 (a) v Germany in Dortmund and 26/03 (h) v Lithuania in London) โ€“ Forster was an unused substitute in both matches. Bertrand played 83 minutes in Dortmund, and the full 90 in the 2-0 win over Lithuania. Ward-Prowse and Redmond both made their England debuts against Germany, playing 24 and seven minutes respectively. Neither featured in the World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.

Cedric Soares โ€“ Portugal (25/03 (h) v Hungary in Lisbon and 28/03 (h) v Sweden in Funchal) โ€“ Played the full 90 minutes in the 3-0 win over Hungary, but was an unused substitute in the 3-2 friendly defeat to Sweden.

Stoke City

Ramadan Sobhi may face slightly limited preparation time for Saturdayโ€™s trip to Leicester City after playing in Egypt on Tuesday. Geoff Cameron may need to be checked, with the defender being troubled by a quad strain. Xherdan Shaqiri is also a concern after confirming he suffered a recurrence of a calf complaint while on duty for Switzerland.

Geoff Cameron โ€“ United States (25/03 (h) v Honduras in San Jose and 29/03 (a) v Panama in Ciudad de Panamรก) โ€“ Played 59 minutes against Honduras before being substituted. Didnโ€™t feature against Panama.

Mame Biram Diouf โ€“ Senegal (23/03 (n) v Nigeria in London and 27/03 (n) v Ivory Coast in Paris) โ€“ Played 90 minutes against Nigeria, but didnโ€™t feature in Paris.

Sunderland

John Oโ€™Shea will need to be assessed ahead of the trip to Watford after picking up a shin injury during the goalless draw with Wales. Bryan Oviedo could face limited preparation time after playing for Costa Rica in Honduras on Tuesday, so he will also need to be monitored. Jermain Defoe will arrive back at the Stadium of Light in confident mood after netting on his return to the England fold.

Jordan Pickford โ€“ England U21 (24/03 (a) v Germany in Wiesbaden and 27/03 (a) v Denmark in Randers) โ€“ Played the full match against Germany, but didnโ€™t feature against Denmark.

Jermain Defoe โ€“ England (22/03 (a) v Germany in Dortmund and 26/03 (h) v Lithuania in London) โ€“ Was an unused substitute against Germany, but started at Wembley, playing 60 minutes, and opened the scoring in the 2-0 win.

Swansea City

Ki Sung-yeung and Jefferson Montero will both face limited preparation time for Sundayโ€™s home fixture against Middlesbrough, although they have returned to south Wales with no issues. Meanwhile star turn Gylfi Sigurdsson was left out of Iceland’s second international against Ireland and will have returned to the club well rested ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Middlesbrough.

Lukasz Fabianski โ€“ Poland (26/03 (a) v Montenegro in Podgorica) โ€“ 90 minutes.

Oliver McBurnie โ€“ Scotland U21 (28/03 (h) v Estonia in Paisley) โ€“ Started in the goalless draw.

Tottenham Hotspur

Vincent Janssen had to withdraw from the Holland squad after suffering a chest infection, but Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful the striker will be okay for Saturdayโ€™s trip to Burnley. The Spurs boss revealed Son Heung-min arrived back on Thursday, with the South Korean looking to lead the attack at Turf Moor in Harry Kaneโ€™s continued absence.

Hugo Lloris โ€“ France (25/03 (a) v Luxembourg in Luxembourg City and 28/03 (h) v Spain in Paris) โ€“ 180 minutes.

Watford

Only Sebastian Prodl played more than 90 minutes among Watfordโ€™s international contingent, so the defender may be considered for a rest at some point over the next three Gameweeks.

Costel Pantilimon โ€“ Romania (26/03 (h) v Denmark in Cluj) โ€“ Was an unused substitute.
Sebastian Prodl โ€“ Austria (24/03 (h) v Moldova in Vienna and 28/03 (h) v Finland in Innsbruck) โ€“ Played all 180 minutes, and provided an assist in the 1-1 draw with Finland.

Isaac Success โ€“ Nigeria (23/03 (n) v Senegal in London) โ€“ Played 29 minutes as a substitute in the 1-1 daw against Senegal.

West Bromwich Albion

Salomon Rondon will face limited preparation time for the trip to Old Trafford, and given his recent poor form, Hal Robson-Kanu is the favourite to lead the Baggiesโ€™ attack against Manchester United. Tony Pulis has also hinted at rotation due to the busy upcoming schedule, with Nacer Chadli and James McClean perhaps vulnerable after featuring prominently for Belgium and Republic of Ireland respectively.

Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans and Chris Brunt โ€“ Northern Ireland (26/03 (h) v Norway in Belfast) โ€“ All three completed the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Norway, with Brunt supplying an assist.
Darren Fletcher and James Morrison โ€“ Scotland (22/03 (h) v Canada in Edinburgh and 26/03 (h) v Slovenia in Glasgow) โ€“ Fletcher played the full 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Canada, but was an unused substitute against Slovenia.

Hal Robson-Kanu โ€“ Wales (24/03 (a) v Republic of Ireland in Dublin) โ€“ Started, but was replaced at half-time in a tactical change.
Salomon Rondon โ€“ Venezuela (23/03 (h) v Peru in Maturรญn and 28/03 (a) v Chile in Santiago) โ€“ played all 180 minutes, and scored in the 3-1 defeat to Chile.

Slaven Bilic doesnโ€™t have any concerns over his international players ahead of Saturdayโ€™s trip to Hull City.

    How many GW's do we think we'll get out of Ben Davies?

    3? 4? More?

    1. LC1
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think 3

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I hope for 4. Rose is further than Kane in recovering so we have time.

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Rose could be the next Lamella.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        And Lamella is the next Diaby.......

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            ๐Ÿ˜€ great minds......

    4. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      4+

    5. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Could be more than that. I think atleast 4 gameweeks.

    6. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all.....so who thinks he's worth a punt?

      1. Dreams
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Me. Got him.

      2. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        There's 4 GWs in the next 2 weeks so I'd say at least 4 taking us up to the DGW in 34. Definitely worth a punt and have gone for it myself.

    7. Dreams
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think the whole season.

    8. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Getting in Bavies unless on WC is a future transfer waiting to happen, with so many other DGW players to get in on FT's Walker is a safer bet. I'll be downgrading Baines and Alonso in future weeks to pay for it.

  2. Sickboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Is everyone sticking with Liverpool attackers?

    Some great fixtures coming up, but it's so hard to predict who will bring the points in.

    Also, with Lallana being out now, will this further muddy the waters?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mane or Firminho will suffice imo.

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think than one is enough. Cou may play a bit deeper with Lallana out and Origi/Sturridge in front.

    3. BALOOO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Im not, cant be bothered, too frustrating to own. Did Mane>Sanchez.

    4. Sickboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I should have clarified that I meant keeping any of them.

    5. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wijnaldum Henderson Can should do the job

    6. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ditching Mane for Sanchexz and keeping Firmino

  3. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Randolph (Jaku)
    Alonso, Davies, Fernandez (Holgate, Evans)
    Sanchez, Mane, Siggy, Lanzini (Fletcher)
    Costa(c), Lukaku, Llorente

    0FT, 4.8 itb. Anything worth a hit? (Lanzini>Alli?). Bench correct?

    Cheers!

  4. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    For how long will Ibra's price be locked and when will it get locked?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      7 days

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        And when will it get locked?

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          After the WBA game I believe.

  5. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Cout to Sanchez worth a -4 this week, or wait until next week for free?

    Thanks

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd wait

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      50/50
      I would wait

    3. Lumberjack
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks both, I'll hold off

    4. BALOOO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I like it.

    5. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wait

  6. goran

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      God no

    3. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No no no no

  7. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Which one out for Ben Davies?

    McAuley - Roberson - Yoshida - Fernandez

    Yes indeed, I have all four ๐Ÿ˜†

    1. Dreams
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Fernanndez

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        why? Swans has nice fixtures
        McAuley or Robertson for me

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers both....

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      * Grabs sick bag and Vomits!

      Robbo for me.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah you and me both....possibly the worst defence I have ever had ๐Ÿ˜€

  8. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    The Fuenes Sori Saga
    - In for DGW 28: (-4) 2 points
    Gw 29: 1 point
    Gw 30: -4 point

    -4 +2 +1 -4 = -3

    Certainly a case here for doing nothing would have been more profitable!

    ๐Ÿ™

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ok I should also allow scores of players to come in on 28/29 and also the score of the 30 replacement to be fully accurate but you get my drift.

    2. Dreams
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He had given me some decent returns before the back to back 1 pointers. Was a decent player.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Was late to the party so missed all those points

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Feel your pain but he was never anything but a 4th defender bench player though ?

      What is the saying ... never take a hit for a defender?

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Was a third for me at the time.
        One of my rivals brought in Grant/Pieters (-4) for the Stoke DGW a while back....

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I did it with Nacho

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Nacho, Origi, Rashford, Defoe(blanks), Grey, Austin all have been a disaster for me but they all have one thing in common, they enable Sanchez, so you gotta factor that in.

  9. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    a) Keep both Sterling and Kun
    b) Sterling to Pedro
    c) Kun to Vardy
    d) Both b & c (2 FTs)

    1. BALOOO

      Well it depends on the rest of your team, if you still have your WC etc. But i like both moves.

      1. Azathoth
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        no wc.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years

      A

    I sometimes don't understand how the price system in this game works.
    On tuesday we get news of Lallana's injury. His price dropped yesterday.
    Meanwhile Antonio and Gabbiadini don't drop.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Depends how close their 'transfers in' were to a price rise before getting injured and their ownership percentage.

  11. Feed tha Sheep

    Is A.smith > Davies worth a -4? (Will be wildcarding in 33/34 so if rose comes back by then it won't be too big a deal

  12. Karan_G14

    Walker or Davies?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Davies and use funds elsewhere.
      Obviously Walker is better but much more expensive.

    2. DMil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Davies but Burnley are good for a goal at home.

    3. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Walker, and keep for rest of season, 1 less transfer to make

    4. Gruu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Bavies for sure

    Do Chelsea have a double GW incoming? If so is it worth doing Aguero-> Costa?

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea and City will both have one in 37 so I wouldn't do a transfer based on that.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers

  15. KUNingas

    Took Walker instead of Davies.. Now I have other thoughts..

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

      Probably good overall tbh - looking at Bavies cos I want to differentiate from walker personally

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    No one here who thinks Arsenal-City could end 0-0?

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      my bet for highest scoring bet this week would be either ars city or Sou bou

  17. Bene_the_horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone think Son could be a good captain differential?? I'm very tempted!

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If I had him I'd honestly take a hit to ditch him.

      1. FPL Panda
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Why smurf?

        Mid oop starting up top for the best attacking team in the league ? I wouldn't cap him this wwwk but he could be gold vs Swansea next week

  18. chelseabrad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton Grant
    Robertson Smith Holgate Holebas Amat
    Siggy Alli Mane Snodgrass King
    Aguero Lukaku Defoe

    1FT & 0.7 ITB, Smith > Gibson my best option from here? Or a save?

  19. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    PVA likely to be fit?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I really hope so. I'm including him in my WC team.

  20. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Good to go? AOA

    Heaton
    Alonso (c) - Valencia
    Firmino - Coutinho - Lanzini - Walcott - Siggy
    Llorente - Lukaku - Aguero

    Foster - Nyom - Jones* - Coleman*

    0FT, 0.0 ITB

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      looking good, brave captain choice

  21. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Major dilemma- have to get a Spurs midfielder in this week. Should it be:

    A) Eriksen
    B) Alli
    C) Son

    Cheers!

    1. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B imo

    2. lasmons
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I would go for Alli

    3. The Mighty Whites
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      B

    4. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely B long term, although a deep Burnley defence could be one for an Eriksen long shot to unlock this week...

    5. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I feel an Alli red card coming (might just be tacos from yesterday)

    6. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli seems to be the pick, but be warned, he won't have pens for very long with Kane returning ahead of schedule. Short term: Alli, Long term: Eriksen, IMO, but it's close.

    7. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all, i guess ill go with alli for the time being

  22. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anything worth a -4? 1.0 ITB

    Valdes - Jakupovic

    David Luiz - Valencia - McAuley - Holebas - Naughton

    Mane - Sigurdsson - Pedro - Snodgrass - de Roon

    Aguero - Lukaku - Defoe

  23. milejedinakhighclub

    Some Friday morning advice would be great please!

    For the next four weeks:

    King (sou, liv, CHE, tot)
    or
    Pedro (CRY, mci, bou, utd)

    Pedro seems a bit of a no-brainer; but King being oop and on pens...

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Southampton and Liverpool games for King could easily see plenty of goals. Assuming you're considering ditching him for Pedro, I would rather save the FT.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Is king your 5th mid ?

      1. milejedinakhighclub
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I'm replacing an injured Antonio and have 7.6 ITB to cover a move for Sanchez next week.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I would consider a proper bench fodder 5th mid they has DGWs

  24. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    davies vertonghen alder or walker? who is absolutely nailed and who is the better option?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Walker

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Vert, Toby, Walker all nailed. Walker if you have the money, Vert if you want to save 1m.

      1. Egyptian Giza
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mark brainwashed me and convinced me into getting Alder for the 2 headers he'll score in Turf Moor ๐Ÿ˜€

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Till the time Rose is out. Davies is the most nailed.

  25. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who to make captain of these guys..

    A) Siggy
    B) Mane
    C) Firmino
    D) Aguero
    E) Lukaku

      A with c on the side.

    2. TLF

        this

    3. Rex Adam

    What seems to be the best gameweek to use Bench Boost in atm?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Whenever your bench is strong enough... Some are trying in GW34, some in 35/36 and some in 37

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      37 for me

  28. UpAndAway
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton or Jaku this GW?

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      flip a coin

  29. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    1 FT 0.5m ITB

    Jaku (Foster)
    Alonso Valencia Holebas (Williams Brunt)
    Eriksen Siggy Lanzini Mane Coutinho
    Aguero Lukaku (Diomande)

    That's my current starting line-up....have the exact funds to do Aguero & Coutinho -->> Vardy & Sanchez (-4) but hesitant as the rival i'm chasing has Vardy already so think I need to get differentials to him. Thoughts?

  30. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Did Bilic give anything away with regards to line ups?

    Snoddy eating a hole in my bench. Could play him with AoA over Baines.

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      not worth AoA, Baines coudl easily get a penalty
