    Thanks Mou Mkhi is back

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Have to admit he looked great against Everton, but let’s see if he can do it against a proper side

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah , more monitoring required , but gut says he's back

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Saying that I bought him in last night lol

  5. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    JWP coming in under the radar could he be worth a punt?

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think he’s a great shout, cheap, seemingly nailed and on set pieces

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      More of a casual transfer atm I think. He gets these points sometimes, mostly due to set pieces, but they aren't predictable enough. Liverpool next, and likely no GW31 fixture.

      Could change my tune over the next couple of GWs if it turns out he does have a GW31 fixture, but then again his run of good fixtures isn't quite long enough, so may as well get Milli or anyone else who's cheaper.

  6. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke being overlooked? 😮

    Will have a game in GW31 if Huddersfield don't get past Birmingham tonight and United in the next round.

    1. THFC4LIFE

      Never fall for that trap again

    3. mookie
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I don't really use the word never, but in this case i have to say never again, i'd rather have only 10 players.

    4. Olivier Bernards watch
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      he really doesn't look like the player he was at villa anymore. Plus I think Palace bought a new striker, who could compete for minutes I guess

    5. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Never pick, never play, never captain.

  7. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who'd you rather captain out of this lot?

    A: Salah (sot)
    B: Sanchez (new)
    C: Kane (ARS)

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Salah for me

      Salah!

      His EO will be ridiculous this GW, even with the fear of reduced minutes I don't think its worth the risk not captaining him.

    start Ayew (BUR) or Lingard (new) this week? Lingard likely to be dropped?

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well if Lingard is to start it's a no brainer . Taking my chances with him one last time

  10. HamezMace

    8 years, 7 months ago

    What are we thinking for a Man City defence.
    I’m concerned Otamendi could be saved for CL games now, with Stones and Laporte getting more regular PL games.

    Anyone else concerned by PL/CL rotation, especially for City.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Vince says Hi

      1. HamezMace
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I’m saying that Ota is their top defensive asset right now, and likely to be saved for CL.
        Kompany I’m not sure, but I’d never risk him as an FPL pick.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah - I'm not sure City CBs are a great call right now...

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Otamendi's on the chopping block. Starting him this GW and then reassess.

      1. HamezMace
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        WC defence is tough!

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Would steer clear for now, some other good options anyway

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kiko GW32-34 (BOU, BUR, hud), very surprised more folk aren’t talking about this.

    You can get him now for only 4.3m....

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Already got him 😎

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ahead of the curve 😎

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Better to save 2FTs for GW32 so you don't need a hit to get him in

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      lol, he could well reward his only owner soon

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bonus magnet

    6. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Now that he is almost back to fitness will he oust Janmaat ?
      You may have to wait just a little longer Jaf

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, risky.

  12. Jimmy Boy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Doucoure, JWP or Allen as fifth mid?

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      First one

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Doucoure

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would you stretch for Deulofeu over Doucoure, or is it not worth the extra cash?

        1. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think it may be, that being said it's only been two matches and doucoure is nailed on and is doing well for his price. Gonna wait a week on deul and save my ft this week.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Better to get Deu now or never I think. (or at least not until GW32)

            1. Garlana
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              I'd have to move son out this gw for him and it's his home form that concerns me.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Fair enough. I wouldn't bother with Deu then. I'm not either, as much as I do want him.

            2. Limbo
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Tempted, but as an Everton fan, I know he can disappear for a few weeks. Easy to miss his points.

              That said I’ve got Lingard...

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Yep. With a username like mine, I know that all too well. But he still tended to look dangerous. I think the team organisation was as much the trouble as anything else. At Watford, he seems to have more responsibility to influence the game through the centre if he likes, and he can express himself through means other than delivering delicious balls from out wide. Only time will tell if this continues, of course, but I think it's promising given that he's a bigger player for Watford than he was for Everton.

                1. Limbo
                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  Agree. I’m 90% on swapping for lingles

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Definitely is. Easy. Definitely. But what is a "fifth mid" to you? Does that mean you will be benching him most weeks? If yes, then no.

          1. Jimmy Boy
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Just means the cheapest midfielder of my 3-5-2

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              And he will play every game? Never rotated with a defender or a forward? In which case, Deulofeu is worth the outlay.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      All better than Lingard

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I’m going with Doco, or Delafeou - that team is set up to score

    4. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Doucoure

  13. pol
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    start one:

    A- Ogbonna (WAT)
    B- Duffy (stk)
    C- Quaner (BOU

  14. HamezMace
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    ...Martina nailed for Everton, Sam seems to like him.

    Is his place under threat from Coleman anytime soon?

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Baines?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Everton defender Leighton Baines' recovery schedule put back again

        But Sam Allardyce has been satisfied with stand-in Cuco Martina's form

        https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-defender-leighton-baines-recovery-14238988

        “It is difficult to say exactly (when Baines will be available), because there have been that many times he has been due to come back well before now and that has not happened,” he said.

        “I would have thought... end of this month, with any luck.

        “Then you have to get game time and training time, even though you have recovered from the problem you had.

        “You have to do several days’ training with the first-team, then try to get a game with the Under-23s or behind closed doors.

          Thanks mate, great info

            No worries. I simply Googled for you. One day, I'm sure you will return the favour

            1. HamezMace
              • 12 Years

              Of course

    2. TooDifficuIt
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Martina plays as a LB, Coleman is a RB

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I f***ing hope so

    4. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If it helps I just did Christiansen > Martina

      As mentioned, Big Sam's happy, very little competition until Baines back (4+ weeks), decent fixtures and guaranteed GW31 game.

      All good stuff if you overlook Everton defence being a fairly ropey FPL proposition

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Can’t be overlooked IMO. Martina was WOEFUL last week.

    1. Debauchy

      Unlikely it appears. Many still have him though, Will leave sometime soon. sometime....

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I As a fellow owner I think he's done to be honest. Hodgson said not long ago that he was back with Chelsea and facing surgery on his ankle.

  16. EL_FENOMENO
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    VVD or Davies
    Eriksen or KDB (have Sterling)
    Firmino or Auba

  17. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How about this for a -4?

    Chupo > Walcott
    Lingard > Delufeuo
    Otamendi > Fernandez

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B is definitely the best. And I would actually rather do it for a hit than a FT (would perfer to save the transfer or get the hit out of the way). So I'd say go ahead with Delufeup, whoever that is, but selling Choupo is a bit of a waste, and Ota > Fernandez is foolhardy imo

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry didn't realise you mean all three. Not worth it for me. Maybe Bauer/Shawcross/Martina instead of Fernandez for the GW31 fixture, and you have a better argument, but selling Lingard is the only pressing matter, if it's really even that pressing at all

        1. Royal5
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Really don't rate Chupo. Although I didn't see the last Stoke game. Somehow ended up buying JRod & Chupo a cuple of weeks ago. Both failed so far.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      prefer just the first and save 1

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Can't afford the first one alone.

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep choupo - Wally is going to be extremely frustrating to own, Everton are ragged, misdirected and devoid of confidence.

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Everton did look terrible against Arsenal. Just really not sure about Chupo.

      1. PocketZola
        • 9 Years

        1. Limbo

    In GW31 can we play wild card and free hit chip??

    Hence there’d be 2 weeks to play with actual team and get some price rises...?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No - max 1 chip per GW.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      One chip per game week. You don't make any profit on players you bring in on your free hit.

    Mahrez replacements?

    Or will he start against City? Cheers

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Missed training again today. Doesn't look likely.

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't count on him playing

  25. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…

    Play:
    Quaner v Bournemouth
    Dunk v stoke
    Albrighton v city?

    1. TMERC187

      Dunk

    DDG (Myhill)
    Alonso - Jones - Duffy - Gomez (Masuaku)
    Salah - Walcott - Hazard - Grob - Sterling
    Kane (Depoitre - Quaner)

    2 FT w 0 ITB

    I would like to replace Masuaku and perhaps downgrade Depoitre.
    Any other thoughts or comments?

    Current rank is 66K. Nothing to write home about but enough to talk to wifey about...SMH

    Alonso owners, what are you doing with him this weekend?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping ( want to save)

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Are you playing him though?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yes

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looking forward to his 15 pointer.

      1. TMERC187
        • 13 Years

        Season keeper

      Keeping, playing.

      Can't see Conte resting him again in a hurry after last night's horror show.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No, I suppose you're right. From that perspective it couldn't of gone better for us as Alonso owners. Chelsea are in a bit of a muddle in general though.

        1. TMERC187
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I would argue for a different result had Alonso played.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Although he played the previous horror show.

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Having a drink or 2 on him for returning 15 points

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No issue with keeping him at all

  28. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This weekend do I play VVD or JWP? I think there's an argument for both imho.

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one. I'd probably go with JWP

  29. JurgenRodgers

    Patrice Evra off to West Ham on a free transfer...

    What price we talking? (£4.5)

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lucky he will be so far away from the fans at the London Stadium.

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years

    1. SuperMario

      A. Save
      B. Kabasele --> Robertson/ Daniels
      C. Abraham --> Ayew
      D. Other??

      Any thoughts appreciated..
