    Any suggestions for this lot ?

    Pope
    Alonso - Otamendi - Mee
    Salah - Hazard - Lingard - Sterling - Choupo
    Kane - Firmino

    Elliot - Ogbonna - DCL - Dunk

    2 FT, 0.3 ITB

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Transfer out Elliot/Ogbonna, save other.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Ogbonna out perhaps.

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        This, or dgrade DCL to free up cash with 2 frees next week

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Cheers guys

    4. Spokey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Elliot - Foster

  2. Goonsquad245
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    I have 2 free transfers and am thinking about making 1 or 3!

    DDG
    Ota Alonso Robertson
    Mili Lingard Salah Sterling Haz
    Kane Firmino

    Speroni Mee Depoitre Dunk

    0.1 ITB

    A) Lingard -> Deu/Shaq and bank other FT
    B) Ota -> Fernandez, Lingard -> Walcott, Depo -> Wilson -4 (bench mili)

    0.1 leeway on B), if Wilson rises and Depoitre drops I'm priced out....

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Like B as well, don't like hits though

    2. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I like B

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Like B, but probably not the hit. Maybe hold the Lingard move.

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Quite like this actually.

    4. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Thankyou both.

  3. Tazah
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Would appreciate any advice
    2ft 0.2Mil

    Lloris, elliot
    Ogb, Jones, Holgate, long, alonso
    Sterl, salah, hazard, mili, rich
    Kane, fir, quaner

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Difficult. Consider downgrading Alonso to upgrade Quaner or fixing ogbonna

      1. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        yeah will do that after this week bar any injuries

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Rich>Deulofeu + Holgate to a solid defender

      1. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        preferring that rich to delefeou one.... but we'll see

    3. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Could do something simple and save your other FT as you'd suggested last page. Ogbonna > Fernandez a decent shout.

      1. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        yeah was thinking of that.... prob holgate to lowton/martina

  4. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Definitely a save here?

    Foster
    Mee Otamendi Jones
    Salah Hazard Sterling Shaqiri Lingard
    Kane (C) Wilson

    Elliot; Depoitre, Ogbonna, Chilwell....2.2itb, 1FT

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Save is good

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Not necessarily, Lingard>Walcott is worth considering

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I'm going to give them both one more week; Lingard to give me a reason to keep and Wally to show he wasn't a flash in the pan. The other move I'm considering is Foster > Pope, although WBA have some great fixtures after this GW and they've been relatively solid.

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Walcott (albeit in a better team) has proven to be FPL gold when given gametime

          1. That Was Easy!
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            He sure has, but I'm not convinced yet that this is the same Wally that was FPL gold.

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Fair enough. Pope is fine but I can imagine Heaton getting games soon to build up form/fitness for the world cup.

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Save looks good

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Probably best to save but Lingard - > Walcott must be tempting?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        See above. Surely it's tempting but I'd like to give it one more week and then decide between Wally and a Watford defender.

        1. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          midfielder.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Save

  5. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Good to save a FT here? 0.9 itb

    DDG

    Jones Otamendi Alonso (Robertson Mee)

    Sterling Salah Walcott Shaqiri (Gross)

    Kane Firmino Wilson

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Yes, looks good imo

    2. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Wow, what a team.

    3. Udo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Looks tasty alright!

  6. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone have anything to say about Deu v. Richarlison? Deu looked great, but he's always done the disappearing act. Perhaps that was due to game time more than anything.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Deulofeu will have to do a lot more to convince me, I've fell into that trap plenty of times already. I'd avoid both for now but it's clear there's potential there

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Cheers. Wait and see. Good enough value and good enough fixtures where I don't feel the need to jump quite yet. Flattering to deceive comes to mind for both of them.

    2. GaribaldiT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Richarlison isn't fulfilling early promise. I'd go for Deu as a good differential.

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      At 6...I need to see more..but he did have more playing time than richarlison

    4. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Would get Deu if I had to pick, but wouldn't swap one for the other

  7. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    With 1 free transfer and nothing in bank any change you would make or carry?

    Defenders on bench not great if any of 3 in team do not play is main concern so Ogbonna to Fernández may be worth doing?

    Pope
    Otamendi Jones Alonso
    Salah (c) Sterling Son Walcott
    Kane Firmino Wilson

    Adrián Choupo-Moting Ogbonna Kenny

    1. King Sheep
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Stick, save FT for next GW.

  8. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Martina or Fernandez?

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Have 2 FT! Want to use 1 and save the other!

    Pickford
    Azpi Jones Otamendi
    Lingard Sterling Salah Hazard Mkhitaryan
    Kane Wilson

    Elliot Mee Dunk Ladopo

    P.S. 0 ITB & holding Lingard this week!

  10. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Suggestions?

    Speroni (Henny)
    Alonso Jones otamendi (Mee Ogbo)
    Salah Sterling Walcott Son Lingard
    Kane Firmino (Niasse)
    2FT 0ITB

    Thinking maybe Son/ Lingard -> Shaqiri

  11. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Any suggestions for this lot ?

    Adrian
    Wimmer - Otamendi - Alonso
    Salah - Ibe - Walcott - Sterling - Shaqiri
    Kane - Aguero

    Elliot - Quaner - Schindler - Duffy

    2 FT, 0.0 ITB

  12. GaribaldiT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is it time to offload Alonso?

    Which is better
    A) Alonso and Son
    B) Mawson and Hazard?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      A, keep Alonso

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      A

  13. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    These look like decent moves? Need to bolster my defence.

    Lingard, Masuaku -> Robertson, Deulofeu.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Moreno back so Robertson not nailed -unfortunately as would like to bring in if he was myself

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Robertson has to be first choice though, he has been brilliant recently.

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          UCL is back next week!

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Totally agree. But Klopp really seems to like Moreno

  14. GaribaldiT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Do we know when this week's Scoutcast is going to be?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years

      Tonight

      1. GaribaldiT

    can FH chip use in GW38?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      It sure can and it can be such an odd week in terms of starting players it would be a nice chip to have left to get one over the line.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      FH chip can use in GW38

      1. FFSheep Trooper
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        cheers. just in case if im not using it

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Seems bad to use it in a week where hardly anyone is nailed on.

  16. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    As with many of you, my team is in bad shape (this gw at least)

    What to do?

    Adrian / Ryan

    Alonso - Jones - Gomez (Tarkowski, Ogbonna)
    Lingard - Sterling - Salah - Ibe (Milijovetic)
    Kun - Firmino - Kane

  17. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is Mawson worth the extra over Naughton?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I'd say so. Bigger goal threat and superior baseline BPS on average

  18. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Azpi to ?

    1. FFSheep Trooper
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      maybe save

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years

        Got 2 FT!

    2. Garth Marenghi

      I also have 2 ft and Azpi, I’m upgrading elsewhere..for now

  19. TUFC24
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    What do I do?
    A) Keep Monreal and Hazard
    B) Upgrade Monreal -> Alonso; Hazard -> Walcott

    1. TUFC24
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I have 2FT btw

        Hi Mark
        I've just noticed they've taken McBurnie out so not showing 15 players.

        1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)

            Just add him manually .

            Just add a none player.

      2. Sedemuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks guys I've just added Bony who is obviously a non-player for now & all good thanks.

    2. Tazah
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      i hate managers being fired but it seems to the only teams currently in free fall are the ones that havent made a change: Bri, Hudd, New
      kind of annoying that it makes an impact....directors get proven right

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Alonso surely has to go after this gwk?

      Man Utd & City away sandwiched between two ties with Barcelona. New LB signing too

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Yes imo.

      2. SeizeYourLuck
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        He definitely will...

      3. Tazah
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        dont be surprised if he gets benched this week

      4. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Depends on your team. I will likely keep him so long as he is fit and playing. I have Azpi, who is likely a priority to sell, and maybe Otamendi too. Then there is GW31 to worry about, and transfers depend on who you want to buy as well as who you want to sell.

        All that might mean I end up keeping Alonso till the WC or even for the whole season. No guarantees he's going to suck for the rest of the season at this point, either.

      5. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Who would be your ideal replacement? I want to shift Alonso and Kun next week to Kane and ? Got Otamendi, Jones, Ogbonna and Francis.

            There are moves behind the scenes to rehabilitate him. Whether he wants that is another matter.

            Am I crazy to consider the below?

            Alonso & McArthur > Mawson and deulofeu

            Hate the idea of losing Alonso but Swansea fixtures are very kind, mixed in with Chelsea bad form and fixtures

              Not at all. Reasonable in my mind!
