    does the FA cup have scheduled pressers like the prem does? Im awaiting news on seriousness of lanzini injury as I'm reluctant to sell if he's only out for a couple weeks given the 10 day break, and the fact he plays gw28

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Don't know but seems fairly serious regardless (grade of tear issue):

  2. Gooner97

    Lingard to Willian or Shaqiri?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Shaqiri I think

    2. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I would love to say Willian but still not sure if first team.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Shaqiri for minutes

  3. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    When is the best time to play the free hit? Gameweek 28? Or is there a gameweek with less games? Thank you!

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      31 probably

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      There will be one with less.

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      If you can plan well for the blank weeks it may be better to use it in a double gameweek.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wait to see who has a blank in 28, likely City & Arsenal but also Chelsea and Utd if Chelsea beat Arsenal in the semi final this week.

      Last season GW31 had 4 games and just Liverpool as a top 6 team playing ... it was carnage due to FA Cup quarter finals and likely to be the best use of the Free Hit chip

  4. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    With just Salah & Firmino tonight, would I be looking at a red or green if Salah hauls & Firmino doesn't? What his EO at now?

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on OR. A good overall rank would mean a small drop if Salah hauls.

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        8k at present

    2. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      54% and 40% owners ... I worry that anyone who has Firmino has Salah too, and there's a lot of Salah captains around

      Only (!) have Firmino, Salah and VVD and quite a few rivals are likely to get more points then me tonight 🙁

    3. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      a small red

  5. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Pope, Elliot
    Alonso Walker Jones Kenny Simpson*
    Salah Sterling Arnie Lingard, McArthur
    Aguero Firmino DCL

    1FT, 0.8ITB

    What would you do?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Upgrade Pope

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn't you sell Lingard?

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        God?

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I would save. Simpson seems to be closing in on a return and you’ve held him this long. Pope may lose his spot soon but keep him until he does. Same goes for Kenny. Give lingard another week or two. I think the trade will be more important next week as I don’t think any of those players will be issues this week

    Guys....

    Thought on Willian.....6.7M and seems to be back on form!

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Only because of injuries. Still in pecking order behind Pedro.

  7. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Would love to see Dzeko back in the FPL game.
    The guy is just an absolute FPL Headache. He comes under the weird non-nailed-essential category

  8. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Which of these groups look best to own moving forward?

    1. Alonso, Stones, Mahrez, Rich.
    2. Alonso, Otamendi, Pogba, Rich.
    3. Christensen, Stones, Mahrez, Sane.

    1. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      In my opinion 1.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      1 but not sure about Richarlison

    Thank you

    1. Snevitz

    A. Save ft

    B. Lingard - > Shaqiri (fixtures +gwk 28 in mind)

    C. Kane - > Aguero

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Kane to Aguero and then use funds to improve (an already good) defence.

    2. Old Wulfrunian

      b

  13. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    I have gone 46pts behind in my ML due to an Aguero captain from the leader.

    He has used his Triple C & Wildcard, I still have both mine intact how long until I catch him?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      1 week if you score 46 more points than him.

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Next week? The week after? 46 points is nothing

      1. Dele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Need to keep telling myself this, seem to be on a bad run.

        I did beat him on GW38 last season, he had been top pretty much all season, felt nice 🙂

        Looking forward to pulling my chips on the DGWs.

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He'll have to take hits to build a good team to match you when you wildcard.

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Loads of time. As long as it's before gwk 38 which cares when 🙂 it's more fun trailing anyway 😉

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      WC followed by bench boost or TC the week later in a double game week could get you 100 points more than him, now that he has used his WC and TC

    6. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I've gone 100 odd behind due to a Kun TC - keep grinding...

  14. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Won't do anything before all cup games are done, just thinking about it.
    Would you do Kane+Son -> Aguero+Mahrez ?

    Ryan Elliot
    Alonso Otamendi Jones Mustafi Cresswell
    Salah Sterling Son Arnautovic Lingard
    Kane Firmino Calvert

    2 FT, 0.3 itb

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I’m sure you’re aware of the risks involved but I can definitely see Aguero and Mahrez doing better in the short term at least.

  15. No Pirlo No Party
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do with this lot lads?

    Plan was to get Alonso. Downgrade DCL and upgrade Ogbonna.
    However, a very poor bench. Worth sorting out instead?

    Pickford
    Otamendi - Jones - Mee - Ogbonna
    Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Arnautovic
    Kane - Firmino

    (Elliot - DCL - RLC - Long) - 1FT - £2.1 in the bank

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      It can probably wait a week.

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, probably not worth the -4. I may wait a week and assess after the cup games.

    Early thoughts? 1FT

    Foster Elliot

    Ogbonna Jones Christensen Mee Kenny

    Salah Richarlison Son Lingard Sterling

    Kane Firmino DCL

    Christensen is driving me nuts - can transfer him to Alonso but wondering if there is anything more pressing given that he'll likely play next GW?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

    Will people sell Kane (for Agüero) because he has three tough fixtures the next games? Thank you!

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Think they will.
      I've kane. He's going nowhere. Those games are going to be very open.

    2. joeydelucchi

    3. Reedy

      Straight in, straight out again after Brom. I don't want to be without Kane any longer than I have to.

      Eriksen no. Lanzini will know more after he has a scan.

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years

      Team is similar to mine, B for me as he looks the only dubious pick within your starting 11

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        are you concerned about not having aguero?

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years

          Of course, he's a huge threat

            • 10 Years

      I'd get rid of Alli - doesnt look good at all atm...

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely on chopping block

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Alli>Mahrez looks a classy move

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah this is extremely likely, I have looked at upgrading to Hazard for his game vs Bournemouth. Hazard vs Bournemouth is similar to Suarez vs Norwich

        1. Soonmixdin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          My midfield is identical and I am considering exactly the same move - has two home fixtures in next three and all are versus opposition that are his bread and butter as a flat track bully.

          I've also been considering Mahrez and De Bruyne as replacements; but Hazard has the explosive potential to haul in any or all of these next three games. And I need to do something to regain the lead in my ML!!

    Second time captaining Salah. Really nervous about him getting a rare blank. Last time I captained him he missed a penalty.

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Just realised I haven't captained, or even vice-captained(!), him all season :O ...he always seems to be my third choice, I guess. I'm doing this wrong.

  29. AdamJ91

    Anyone care to help me with this team?

    Gomes - Elliot
    Otamendi - Jones - Alonso - Dunk - Kenny
    Salah - Sterling - Son* - Lingard* - Arnautovic
    Kane - Depoitre* - DCL*

    2.5 ITB; 1 FT

    * - these are players I'm currently trying to move out, could maybe add Gomes to that too but with a new manager he could preform better. Want to try avoid WCing if possible.

    I even considered doing Kane, Lingard, Son & Depoitre > Aguero, Mahrez, Vardy, Ox/Shaqiri (-12) which could be complete madness.

  30. Pap Le Cissier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    WHIch looks better guys? I think my gamble of going an extra week without Salah has backfired....

    A) Eriksen, Alli > Salah, Shaquiri
    B) Eriksen, Alli, Daniels> Salah, Mahrez, Kelly/Dummett

    1. Netley Lucas

      B but Daniels does hit some nice fixtures soon, but still B
