    Best striker at 6m ?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ian Nacho

      1. SackWenger
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Personally i'd give him a miss. Awful player. I remember captaining Vardy v Hull a couple of seasons ago and realised the negative impact Iheanacho has on the team and on Vardy in comparison to the positive impact Okazaki has. Every time since too he has been disappointing.

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Charlie

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Austin/Nacho. Damm Fpl towers, Mitro should've been 6 😥

      1. Anathallo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Too easy a pick at 6 I think.

    4. Anathallo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like any at that price bracket. Would rather go 4.5 fodder and upgrade elsewhere. Nacho and possibly Austin both transfers waiting to happen.

    5. samaael
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      nacho going to be gold

    6. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho

    7. RNGD Shobby
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Jimenez for 5.5

  2. samaael
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Iheanacho nailed on for start of season?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Good option imo

  3. Pancake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Lukaku... back early and first 2 games are right up his street... ?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Donkey.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The forgotten man of FFS, but surely Aguero and Auba are better options at the exact same price?

      1. Pancake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        First 2 games... plus I thought he looked good in WC

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Would be a great differential if it comes off.

          1. Pancake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Gw1 & 2

            Aguero - rotated/arsenal
            Aubameyang - laca/fixtures
            Kane - holiday
            Firm - got him already

            Lukaku - nailed/great fixtures

            I don't like the kid but it's hard to ignore!

            1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Sanchez is only 10.5 and is 100% certain to play. Possibly up front if Lukaku doesn’t play. Also can earn a point more per goal and a point for a clean sheet.

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Being defensive here, but think Fulham are a better team than Watford/Newcastle/Southampton/Bournemouth.

        1. Pepereina Pizza
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Oh, they've got an XI on the books now?

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…

      Cardiff, Huddersfield, Southampton

    5. Anathallo

    8. Meppelfield

  5. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Can someone talk me out of Richarlison, I know he's a troll and Everton have been poor in preseason.... but I don't see any better options at 6.5 :/

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Pedro, Schurrle for 0.5 less?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        unless Willian leaves I can't see Pedro holding down his spot, does anyone know if Schurlle can still play?

      2. Gashead9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Pedro not nailed, Schurrle one to watch but I wouldnt start with him

    2. Pancake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mili

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'd rather have Zaha though :/

        1. Pancake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          As a mid?

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            No as a striker, he's better value than Mili I think, there won't be as many penalties again.

    3. Gashead9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Start with Rich, I think he offers great value at 6.5 in a better team, and fixtures are so good he is bound to get some returns in 1st few GWs

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I think I'm reluctantly going to do this :/ not a fan of my own team

        1. Pancake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          If he stays at palace I think zaha will be deadly... he's influential and they've improved. Doubling up with mili is a poss for me

    4. Rihanovic
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm sorry to say that he has the legs of an ostrich and the brains of a chicken.

  6. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Got £4.5 to spend on a bench defender to sometimes come in.

    A) Daniels
    B) Boly
    C) Doherty
    D) Cedric
    E) Bamba

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I’d go for a 4.0

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This. Very rare we get playing 4.0 Defs, can’t understand why most are scared to take advantage of it.

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          3 x 4.0 rotation crew checking in.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Bold ! Respect !

            Peltier, AWB and who’s your third?

        2. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I've already got one.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Who cares?

            Get another IMO.

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cedric

    3. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cedric a doubt for gw1

    4. droginexile
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Doherty/Boly seem the best of those. Cedric doubtful to start, Daniels will get 3 games. Wolves look stronger at the back than cardiff too

  7. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Predictions for top 7 please

    1. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Man Utd
      Tottenham
      Chelsea
      Arsenal
      Man City
      Everton
      Liverpool

    2. Meppelfield
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Liverpool, City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, United, Wolves

  8. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Opinions on sane? Already got erikson and 3 Liverpool players. Could upgrade to Sanchez thoughts?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez first couple looks gd. City going to rotate so who knows who will play for them from start

      1. Loftus cheeky nandos
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Pancake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      All City players are a concern for rotation with pep chasing the quadruple again. Good luck!

      1. Loftus cheeky nandos
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, given me more to consider now

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

      Mendy's role could be key

      1. Pancake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Elaborate

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

          Used as a LWB Mendy could push Sane to the bench

          1. Pancake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Ok I see, too early to get on any man city players I feel. Need to understand peps mind first lol

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

              I wouldn't avoid them, just try to get the ones who will start

  9. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Predictions for middle 4?

    1. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Burnley
      Wolves
      Leicester
      Bournemouth

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

    If you had to choose between Mahrez or Zaha who would you put in your team?

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

      Hardly like4like

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      This a serious question?

      One is 9m, one is 7M.

      Mahrez is in a different league to Zaha, there is no comparison.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Mahrez in Bundesliga now?

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          😉

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        True, but the jizz Zaha gets on here I'm not sure this will be the consensus.

        1. Pancake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          More jizz

          1. droginexile
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Jizz Richards 4.0??

        2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I think everyone’s forgot that his output of goals/assists was nowhere near the same as it was when he was upfront st the end of the season.

    3. Anathallo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      For value and nailedness I'd take Zaha and spend the other 2.0 elsewhere.

  11. Goalosaurus
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What kind of impact do you think spurs new stadium will have, will they do better overall than last season?

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

      I'm sure once finances are on a better footing they'll return to the market and compete with their peers. Maybe next season.

      1. Goalosaurus
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Alderweireld going to Man U might help them out with that. Was more thinking that they may actually play better in their own stadium, took awhile to get used to Wembley.

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

          The 2 go hand in hand though. While peers strengthen they stand still. Their depth is ok but not comparable so the impact of new stadium becomes a bit unclear until they get their act together fiscally.
          If they can field a strong team most of the season and they play well they should improve a bit maybe over Wembley, but sometimes it takes a while to settle in.

  12. stat
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Something I just remembered from last season about Bailly - even if we ignore the fact that Mourinho benched Bailly because he supposedly wanted to give the players going to the World Cup an opportunity to shine, Mourinho said that he started Lindelof instead of Bailly against Swansea because he's a better passer than Bailly and because "Lindelof is probably our center-back who comes into the midfield better with the ball".

      So the issue is that if United sign a new CB, lets say Alderweireld, then it's possible that Bailly will be rotated in certain games based on the opposition. Even if they don't, it could still happen.

      Having said all that, he's still in my team, but I might get Luiz instead if he starts tomorrow since I don't expect Sarri to rotate his defenders a lot.

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I've got both of them, think I want to drop any united players though, they don't even have good fixtures to back up having them.

        1. stat
            5 years, 10 months ago

            If they can replicate their defensive form from last season, which was heavily reliant on DDG exceeding all expectations, then it doesn't really matter who they're playing against. But DDG didn't look very good at the World Cup, and with their current defensive absences I think it could be best to avoid them.

            However, I think Sanchez is still a good shout for the first couple of weeks. He's finally got to rest in the summer and has looked very sharp in pre-season. Easy switch to literally any other mid apart from Sterling + Salah, too.

            1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I was on Sanchez for a while, have just gone for Mane and Mahrez now so I could afford Aguero from the off

        2. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          If Utd sign Alderweireld then you get Alderweireld.

          1. stat
              5 years, 10 months ago

              He's 0.5m more expensive so it's not a straight swap, but yeah, Alderweireld at United would be a fantastic option.

          2. Nascimento
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Kind of disgusting that Man Utd paid 36m for a defender they only ever intended to be back up

          3. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            The obsession with Bailly on this site is strange. It's quite clear he isn't as nailed as people seem to suggest.

            1. Now I'm Panicking

              Any 5.5 defender for one of the big boys who looks vaguely near the first team gets bigged up - see Shaw and Luiz for further details.

          Ramsey to Chelsea would give them a serious midfield. Kante the destroyer, Jorginho the architect, Ramsey the box to box mezella.

            ramsey to take the barkley/fabregas role if it happens?

              For sure. No one better at breaking the lines. Cesc used to do it, but hasn't got the legs anymore. He's now more of a Jorginho type player.

                • 14 Years

          Is Mourinho right to have requested WC players to come back early and was it reasonable of him to be annoyed with Pogba for deciding not to and party in LA ( assuming press reports accurate)?

            Outside of this sport, yes. Team first. However, there is a norm in football where this is different. From where I sit in USA, this is kinda odd (aside from selfish player contract holdouts, which is really petulant).

            Nah. These guys work hard and deserve a break. Working them harder and encouraging them back to work earlier isn't necessarily productive in the long run. Have lost all respect for Mourinho.

          On the bench is it better to have a £5m midfielder and two £4m defenders or at one £4.5 def and a £4.5 mid? I'm playing 343 fwiw.

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            with there being playing 4 mil defenders, I guess the 5 mil mid one. Neves/Cairney/Hughes/Costa all have chance of attacking returns imo, those 4,5 mids don't

          From Arsenal's homepage re. Monreal:
          "But Nacho has not been ruled out of the Premier League opener next Sunday - yet.
          “He arrived with no big injuries, but his knee has a little problem and he’s training everyday but not with the us,” said Emery.
          “We don’t want the injuries but it’s one of those things that you can’t help. We have players like Nacho, but he arrived late from the World Cup and also has a small injury. It’s difficult for him to arrive for the match against Manchester City.
          “For us we are trying to help Ainsley play in this position and, for me, I want to give confidence to all my players in their positions, then he can play in this position as best as possible."

            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Even more worried defensively now.

            Maitland-Niles is ok, perhaps better in midfield. He was vulnerable at full back last season - at least provides some pace at the back I guess.

            1. TAT
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              He had some decent performances too, but against City andChelsea I wouldn't play any Arsenal defender. Those looking at Arsenal keepers might have to wait, as well:
              "The best for the team is to have the best goalkeeper with the best performances. Every match we’ve had good performances from Petr Cech and Bernd Leno and also from Emi Martinez, and for that I am happy. I am on the lookout for who will start in the first XI."

              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              As an Arsenal fan though, I really don't know what to expect from the team. Hope they make a good start.

          After leicesters preseason its pretty clear that pereira will be giving attacking returns and playing up front.

          A or B is my doubts:

          A) Luiz
          B) Pereira

          1. walkman666

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Isn’t he a right fullback? Playing up front is different and appealing. He’s pretty attacking, based on historical stats.

              • 14 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              he was playing left wing in a friendly today so might be deployed in an attacking role when needed

                  He had a few shooting chances today. Would expect attachment returns from him. And with Bailly Robbo already, no need to have both só either Luiz or Pereira

                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  apologies, I may have got this mixed up (Excuse me). However he was playing on the wing today so this may happen again in the season when required

                  1. Nespinha
                    • 8 Years

            Alisson as want premium keeper to set and forget, also want Mendy and doubling up Liverpool defence with VVD as can see lot of clean sheets for Liverpool.

            • 9 Years

            not mine, I'm gonna play him, last 2 years I've had this kinda cheap player on my bench, and he has started first 2-3-4 weeks scoring points, so itll be a 4.0 defender on the pitch for me, and funds boosting other players up.

          Defensive Structure!

          I am currently considering going with 2 premium defenders, and 3 4.0's rotating for the third spot in my team, would love to hear your thoughts on this structure, good bad or ugly?

          6.5, 6.0
          4.0, 4.0, 4.0

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I don't like it!
            I'm on 6.0 5.5 5.5 4.5 4.0 for comparison, 4.5 options are usually more secured in first XI!

            1. Gazpilicueta
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              sure, but with 3 4.0's rotating for 1 spot, surely I'll be fine, and it means I can have Firmino instead of Austin...

                Which are the 3 out of interest?
                Peltier, AWB and Bednarek?

                  AWB, Bednarek and Bennet.

                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    will Bennet play?

                    1. Gazpilicueta
                      • 9 Years
                      5 years, 10 months ago

                      apparantly he will. today he was described as strong and a big calming influence. sounds important.

                    2. Maddi Son
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 10 months ago

                      I posted earlier comments from Wolves fans and they all said he was decent . Saiss (his competition) was apparently very poor too.

                  2. Maddi Son
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    Definitely go for AWB & Peltier as these are the most nailed.

                    The coinflip is between Bednarek & Bennett.

            I've gone for 6.0 6.0 6.0 4.0 4.0

            1. Gazpilicueta
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              nice

            2. Gazpilicueta
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              will your 4.0s ever see the light of day?

          3. T.Henry14
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            like 3x 4m defs.
            i'm on 6.0 - 5.0 - 4.5 - 4.0 - 4.0
            always start with a cheap defense.
            don't want to invest a lot of money on the wrong defender.
            i need time.. 5 or 6 gameweeks.

          4. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah I'm doing it. Just make sure your other 10 players are nailed and you'll be all good.

            1. Gazpilicueta
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I have been focusing on nailedness a lot actually, so i should be fine.

          Zaha or Arnautovic? Both are on fire in preseason, but I only have room for 1 of them in my team

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Zaha has better fixtures.

          2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I started on Arnie but Zaha looks in great form and has better fixtures, plus he won me my minileague last season so I'm back on him!

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

            You have room for both so you're making another decision somewhere else?

          4. HavertzHero
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Zaha .... Most Arni fixtures are tough

          5. Stokealona
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Both & Kings in good form. Plus great fixtures.

          1. Uncle John from Jamaica
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Decent but worry about lack of premium strikers

        19. Kenny Dogleash
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Currently stuck on a hybrid 3-4-3/3-5-2/4-3-3 type thingo.

          Will Jiminez start?

          Patricio, 4.0
          Robbo, Mendy, Daniels, Cedric, 4.0
          Salah, Mane, Sané, Schürrle, Neves
          Aubameyang, Arnautovic, Jimenez

          Why is Sanchez so overrated on here? Was rubbish last season and nothing has changed. Lukaku is available for the first game...

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Rubbish last season but still got 9 goals and 100 assists. His style of play is perfect for FPL, goals, assists, bonus points and capable of huge hauls. 10.5 would be seen as a bargain a season or two ago.

            1. Drip Doctor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              10*

              For reference - Mahrez produced very similar returns, and is now in a much better team and only priced 9mill.

              1. Drip Doctor
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years

                He will be one of many options at City, at Leicester he was the focal point. Most Utd attacks will involve Alexis.

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

            Pre-season form up top
