    Any opinions on my little babies? Tempted by Maguire but Chilwell seems a better option to me. Having said that, perhaps I'd find it easier to bench Chilwell which could be to my DETRIMENT (big word)

    Pickford - Adrián
    Alonso - Jones - Otamendi - Dunk - Ogbonna
    Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Son - Arnautovic
    Kane - Firmino - Quaner

    1FT, 1.1ITB

    A) Son + Ogbonna > Mane + Chilwell (-4)
    B) Son > Sane/ Silva/ Pogba yada yada yada
    C) Son > Shaqiri (3.2ITB)
    D) Ogbonna > VVD
    E) Dunk > Monreal

      Nice side, A is too many eggs in one basket. B for me. Sane

      Whats the TV of that baby? Are you sure thats right 1.1m ITB bank too?

      That must be a mad TV!

    Lingard to Shaqiri

    A: Ach ya!

    B: Ish don't think so

    1. Br0k3b0ys

      Yes for free. At least it gets rid of the gw28 worry

      1. Mayor of Flair

        Thank you

      Lingard at home vs Huddersfield GW26

  3. Ask Yourself

    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Emerson joins chelsea from Roma would he be cup tied or has he not played? If he is bad news for Alonso.

    1. Jsadler95
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No he wouldn't and could be as Emerson is top drawer. I wanted him at Liverpool but then he ruptured his cruciate ligament ending injury last year.

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Asked about him on Twitter.

      A few Italian football fans replied

      One person in particular allayed my fears, saying he's the backup to Kolarov.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Okay seems pretty safe for now cheers for the info chaps !

  4. FPLMatt
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think this is a decent WC side? Very tempted to pull the trigger

    Pickford
    Alonso Otamendi VVD
    Arnie Mane Salah Mahrez Sterling
    Kane Wilson

    Elliot Ayew Kenny Chilwell

    1. FPLMatt
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I played around and also tried with Sanchez and Willian instead of Mahrez and Mane. Would love to hear some criticisms to prevent me from doing it haha.

      1. zon
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Willian not nailed. Mahrez and Mane far better.

        1. FPLMatt
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This was my thinking. The thought on Willian was based on the fact I feel Conte may be changing the system back to 3-4-2-1 as opposed to 3-5-1-1 which may see Willian get a good run in the team. Of course I don't have enough info to prove that correct was more a hunch but I agree Mane Mahrez is a much better pairing

    2. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would not pull for that, front line simply isnt strong enough, if going 2 you need firmino/Vardy as your second at least.

      Downgrade Alonso and upgrade midfield. I also would not Double up on salah and Mane

      1. FPLMatt
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It's one of those ones where I could play 4-5-1 with Jones as the extra DF or 3-5-2 with Wilson. The Mane + Salah double up is based off of the fact that everyone has Salah now and Liverpool along with City score the most goals in the prem so could be a fruitful double up in Coutinho's absence.

        1. M00N
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'm currently 4-5-1. Jones will out score Wilson don't you think.

          1. FPLMatt
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I tend to agree with you. Jones will just drip feed 6-9 points most weeks whereas no guarantees with Wilson at all

            1. M00N
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              A clean sheet is 4 points the same as a strikers goal. The question is will Jones get more clean sheets than Wilson gets goals?

              1. FPLMatt
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                When I say 6-9 points I mean because when Man U keep a CS Jones is normally in the bonus points. Jones will outscore Wilson I would imagine yes

          2. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Jones will comfortably outscore Wilson.

    thinking of lingard---> oxlade or willian. getting oxlade would make bringing firmino in the future not possible as i will have 3 lpool players.

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years

      I would stay away from both Ox and Willian. Not nailed.

      Son RLC and Calvert-Lewin out for -4

  10. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    It is madness to be considering benching Pogba and Wilson and playing Masuaku and Dummett?

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Certainly on the borderline 🙂 Wilson I can understand.

      Is Dummet nailed now?

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he’s first choice leftback (only left footed defender too)

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          OK tx! I would play Dummet over Wilson this week for sure.

          New. Burn smells of a 0-0.

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too

    1. Tim

      Do it.

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years

      Noooo! Wait! Mahrez could be anyway at the end of the transfer window

  13. Tim

    This might be a bit sad but I have just calculated my average score for my 11 seasons in FPL.
    57.4 Average per game week.

    Id love to know where others are at, to know if that's good?

    1. Holmes

      3 seaons.

      Average: 56.42pts

        How do you do this?

    3. kennethrhcp

      11 seasons 06/07 - 16/17: average weekly score of 56.04... I'm afraid to add this season to my workings 🙂

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years

        out of interest, my average finishing spot for those 11 seasons was: 52,305

          Nice. Just did the same not including this season 33,592

      I come out as 60 exactly. Had to double check to make sure I was doing it correctly haha.

      On 58.08 this year.

    Alli, Lingard & Kane > Hazard, Choupo & Aguero(c) -4

    Crazy?

    1. Tim

      As mad as a box of frogs.

    2. yakirh
      • 9 Years

      Not crazy for me
      I'm considuring something similar

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    People need to stop transferring in Mahrez! It’s simple!
    He wants away from Leicester and could be playing anywhere at the end of the transfer window even out of the premiership.

    JUST WAIT

    1. Br0k3b0ys
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      U priced out bruv? Lol

  16. boc610
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    is Willian the best player in the world not to be getting regular first team football?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Him or Mitrovic

    2. M00N
      • 11 Years

      No Fellani is. Fact

      1. nobwak
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Love when people say "fact" at the end of a sentence, as if saying it makes it so, when it's actually clearly opinion.

        1. M00N
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Part of the joke.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bernardo Silva? Niasse? 😉

    4. Cadenza
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Isco or Asensio at Madrid.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Son+Depoitre >> Mahrez+Quaner for a -4? Will then likely get Jones in for Christensen after Spurs.

    Pickford
    Masuaku • Otamendi • Christensen
    Mahrez • Salah • Ox • Sterling • Arnie
    Kane • Kun

    (Elliot / Duffy / Quaner / Kiko*)

  18. nobwak
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Worth getting rid of Lingard with with Sanchez's imminent arrival? Presumably he'll be one of the main players under threat. Also has Spurs away this week.

    Replacement wise, who do people fancy? I'd like to bank a bit of money so temped with bargain basement players - Albrighton? Shaqiri?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Albrighton has good stats. Idk about Shaqiri. Stoke are just awful

    2. Tim
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd give it a week or two.

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

      I went for Ox. See how he goes tonight but looked great with good stats

  19. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool CS and a Firmino goal would help me tremendously in my MLs

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool conceding and Salah blanking while Firmino scores would be ze best.

  20. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    For the Craic?

    Kane + Lingard + Kolasinac --> Otamendi Hazard Vardy (-8)

    DISCUSS

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

      Why Otamendi? Have been meh...

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Awful don't rate City defence anymore. Rather double on Chelsea or United

  21. FPLMatt
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What do people think of this is a 4-4-2 with an attempt at shifting away from the template a little bit?

    Pickford
    Moses Alonso Ota VVD
    Mahrez Arnie Salah Sterling
    Kane Vardy

    Elliot Ayew Ibe Kenny

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If all the top teams have a BGW in GW28 you will have no defence...

      1. FPLMatt
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I will have VVD and Kenny and then for that week just swap Moses out for a defender that's playing and play 3 at the back

    2. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's hardly shifting away from the template. The midfield IS the template and it has Kane, Otamendi and Alonso.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks okay - as all 4-4-2's do - maybe Jones over Moses though?

      1. FPLMatt
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Quite possibly the thing I like about Moses though is the goal threat and where lots have Alonso doubling up certainly helps me when Chelsea keep a CS. Leicester's fixtures are a joke so I like the Mahrez Vardy double up also to gain more exposure to their goals

  22. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m toying with the idea of a 4-4-2 rather than a 3-4-3.

    The difference currently is Wilson vs Jones (although I have DDG so it would be a double up).

    The only problem is I hate have to rely on CS for points because as soon as the opposition scores it’s normally done and dusted.
    Where with a striker/midfielder there’s always a good chance to score/assist or even get large hauls....

    Something to ponder about more I guess?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed, Lingard to a premium def is tempting me

    2. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3-5-2 is the way IMO

    3. FantaCity
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A team allowing the flexibility of both is best

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get defenders with attacking threat then. They can always nick an assist or goal and usually then grab a few baps.

  23. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane plus Son for Vardy and Hazard for a hit? (C)azard?

  24. Tim
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Surely Kane is fixture proof.

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he's nailed, but he's not consistent. Only Salah seems to be.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He has scored in 7 of his last eleven starts... it's not exactly inconsistent. And those eleven starts have yielded 13 goals and 15 bonus points.

    2. gunner 2727
      • 10 Years

      Trueish but can you captain him in 2 of those? Stretching

    This whole season has been a rut. OR over 1mill and generally low scores. Would you wildcard this bunch?

        Already three Pool..Thinking of Alli, Richarlison and DCL to Shaqiri, Martial and a cheap third striker. Thoughts?

  27. Count of Monte Hristo

    Thoughts on Son + Lingard > Arnautovic + Walcott/Willian for free?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

      I like it with Walcott

        Thanks mate.

      What did I miss with Willian - I know he gets points when he plays but is he going to start regularly now? Not the first time I've seen mentions of bringing him in

      1. Count of Monte Hristo

        I admit there is a risk and one that needs monitoring. I just prefer gambling on a player who has the potential to haul versus Lingard who seems more likely to score 3.

        Did well this weekend. What are you planning to do with Son and Kane? Would you consider Son plus Kane for Vardy and Hazard for the next few? 1 hit involved

          Ah, I think theres an early bird price of £12.50 then up to £25. I could be wrong though

    I'm quite into the idea of:

    Son&Lingard out for Mahrez&Shaq -4

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years

      Maybe just Son>Mahrez, though guess u need more cash?

        Yes. Don't have enough cash for straight swap.

        Could also raise it by doing Christensen out for Stones
