    Thoughts:

    A) Jiménez + £8.0mil midfielder

    (Spearheading Wolves attack looks a good punt)

    B) Jiménez + Jota

    (Double up on Wolves)

    C) Jota only. As per current team.

    Current team:

    GK: Alisson
    DEF: Shaw, Robertson & Castro (punt)
    MID: Salah, Sanchez, Richarlison & Jota
    FWD: Augero, Arnie & Zaha

    Bench:
    Hamer (bench fodder)
    Hudson-Odoi (punt)
    Mee (for GW1 I'm punting on Castro with Mee as backup)
    Wan-Bissaka

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I like ur current team. Really wonder id sanchez is worth 1.0 more than mane though.

      Mane has better fixtures.. might be on penalties.. and liverpool is lookin very dangerous

      1. Kered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Doubt mane is on pens, Salah or Firmino

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

          Evem if hes not on pen. Is sanchez still 1.0 better?

      2. Chrisirwin01
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Massively agree with you but Sanchez should spearhead Utd's attack and until Lukaku gets back I think he'll be on pens.

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

          I agree. Im also trying to decide between the 2 myself.

          Currently on mane and thinking of having 1.0 ITB.

          Not sure sanchez worth 1.0 extra and have a feeling liverpool vs westham will have so many goals!!!

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      C

  2. Mattrick
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    i know sturridge is a punt, but he is scoring, and if played is quite capable of getting decent returns.... better than the likes of kamara, vokes etc. what do you think?

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just a big "if". Not worth that punt at the start of the season

      1. Mattrick
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        i suppose competition is fierce in the team at the moment....

    2. Chrisirwin01
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I could see him get at least 60mins over the first 3 GWs, 20 mins per game. Worth punt if you think he'll score within those minutes.

      1. Mattrick
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yeah is a gamble...

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino started today...

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Select nailed players 🙂

  3. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Has anyone actually found a 2x4.5 goalkeeper rotating combo where both are nailed?

    1. bobbysmith76
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Foster and Fabianski, though Adrian's playing time in preseason is making me question it

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This

    2. McEwan
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Think I had foster and fabianski initially, sure they are both 4.5 with decent fixtures over the first 4. Can’t say if they are considered nailed on tho but liked the combo

    3. FPL Joker
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      There are loads. Patricio, Ryan, Lossl, Begovic, Fostee and Smithies

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Foster and fab is quite nice.

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

      Patricio and Foster

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'm on this one as well.

        1. Salah Daze
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Me too.
          A really nice summary was provided here

    5. Chrisirwin01
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I looked into Foster and Fabianski but couldn't put the trigger. Both teams last season had shocking defences.

      1. Bodini
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fabianski played for a team that got relegated but still scored well

  4. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sané or Mahrez?

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez or save .5 m for DSilva

  5. Lets jump straight into it.

    The Arsenal game is on the Gooner Area .id if anyone is interested in the second half team selection

    Ederson having a baby... really?

    Anyone know any decent keepers that have had a vasectomy?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      With Joe Harts severe dandruff problems I doubt he is expecting anytime soon.

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Just realised you said 'decent'.

        Whoopsie-doodle

  7. bobbysmith76
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any help? Not sure on Auba vs. Aguero as well?

    Foster (Fabianski)
    Kabasele Robertson Bertrand Tomkins (Wan-Bissaka)
    Willian Eriksen Sanchez Mane (Cairney)
    Aubameyang Firmino (Quaner)

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/08/04/rmt-collection-zoumasbloomers/ for better replies.

      Defence is bit soft given you'll play Bertie and Kabasele each week.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        add to that Willian

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I see no Salah and that means you are beyond help. Good day to you sir.

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

    Who will score more in the first 5 gw

    A. Mahrez + Cairney (or any 4.5 def)
    B. Richardlison + arnautovic

    I have salah, mane and aguero already

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years

      B

  9. Scotty B

    Really excited to watch James Maddison play for Leicester this season. Caught some snippets of him in Championship games last year and he looks the business.

    If Puel plays Gray and Maddison as wingers, could be a sexy season for Lei.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Has been in my draft for a couple of weeks now.

    2. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I had him in my first draft but atm am playing it safe and waiting to see how he’ll settle in and how attacking Leicester will be without Mahrez

  11. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If you had to choose 2 our of zaha, king and arnie - who would you go for?

    I think the fixtures of king and zaha swing it in their direction.....

    Any views? Cheers

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      King and Arnie

    2. Mattrick
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      would be king and Zaha for me, just based on fixtures... then swap to Arnie when fixtures are better.

    3. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      King and Arnie, Zaha may move, better chose one alongside your 11M striker and a cheap bench fodder

    4. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      im going King & Arnie

  12. Mattrick
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Aub, Salah and Mata
    B) Mane, Sanchez and Laca

    I assume most would opt B for the salah love, but you also have two pen takers in B, Mata seems to have lost his Mojo for some time now as well..... However B is an easier Cpt choice. Really struggling with this one.

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Mattrick
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      sorry A is an easier cpt choice...

    3. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A has easier captain choice, Mo each week

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

      This comment is confusing! I think you have 2 pen takers in A, and only 1 in B, i mean.. no way to know for sure right now but that's what I think!
      A for me, although Im not sure about Mata.

  13. Wob
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A bit of help please:

    A: Firminio, Auba, Richarlison
    B: Aguero, Zaha, Mane

    1. Mattrick
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      tough one, B for me though.

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ye really tough. Like both but gut says A

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Okay, since you were so polite.

      Very tight indeed! I'd say A but only based on the security of minutes of aub vs kun (overall) and firmino vs mane (beyond the 70 minute mark). I also have a slight doubt about zaha's motivation, but that may be just newspaper rubbish.

    4. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Auna and Aguero same price so you can swap them easy,
      Question eally is Mane+Zaha or Bobby+Richarlison, I’m inclined to go for the latter

      1. Wob
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks all

  14. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    7 years, 7 months ago

    The opening weekend.

    Historically is it high scoring or low scoring?

    Think there's a lot of nice defensive picks (and lower than usual attacking) but would like to know if there is a trend. Thanks.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      Each season is different.
      Last season 31 goals scored in GW1.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        8 clean sheets too.

      2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks very much for commenting 🙂

        Darn, I was hoping for some resounding, all-conquering pattern.

    2. McEwan
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Only thing I seem to remember is there is usually a fairly shock away win by a big scoreline. Was it huddersfield at palace last season, Swansea 4 nil at QPR with Michu doing some damage a while back. Blackpool picking up a decent win and marlon harewood becoming the season first bandwagon 4.5 striker!

      1. Rasping Drive

    Fill in the three missing spots in my team. Budget is 20m. Thanks

    Ederson Stekelenburg

    Robertson Bailly Wan Bissaka

    Salah Jota Richarlison Stephens

    Aguero Arna

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      You need 2 defs, mid and forward.

    2. SwissWavey
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry to say but you have 4 missing spots, Wan Bissaka doesn't count as 2 players!

      1. Ludde
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Forgot to wrote down Mitrovic. Need 1 mid and 2 defenders.

        1. SwissWavey
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Mkhi, Luiz and Mendy perhaps, and save a few quid?

  16. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    The question absolutely very few people have been waiting for...
    A. Bailly
    B. Luiz

    Thanks for your thoughts

    1. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      why not both?

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Got Rob and Mendy

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wait until after tomorrow..

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It doesn't depend on whether Luiz plays or not, which he will.

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Anyone?

        2. Kered
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          But to some it does.. Because if he doesn't for whatever reason, than Bailly is the better option.

  20. SwissWavey
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    New member but really struggling to get access to member data tables. I know there's a lot of data but even waiting 5 minutes I'm not getting response just asking for a menu to pop down in the player comparison tool. Having heaps of trouble getting anything, to be honest, is the members' area designed to work on phones?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't have an issue on iPad. I'll have a look on my old iPhone.

      1. SwissWavey
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, I'll try on a tablet later, it'd help just to see it working properly so I know what to expect

        1. SwissWavey
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Seems to work ok on my tablet except if I zoom in, which with my fat fingers I usually do! Six goes to pick the right player from the list was getting a tad frustrating.
          At least I now know what 'normal' behaviour looks like so I'll try the phone again.

          1. SwissWavey
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Nope, not working on the phone, which is weird cos my phone is way better spec than my tablet

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Works quick and fine for me on my Android phone.

      It's not mobile optimised like the rest of the site (which, given that it's the bit we've paid for, is a bit annoying!) but it should work.

  21. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    so I hear Wijnaldum scored

    why do I feel a sentimental attachment to him as an FPL asset when he did awful for me at the start of last season

    1. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same. He was atrocious.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Like me with Mata, who was fpl gold (sad face)

  22. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    how was richarlison today? I think maybe switching him with the legendary milo.

    1. Nespinha
      • 10 Years

    Mo Salah scores. Going to be in 80% of teams at this rate

      What did you expect for someone who scores so much?

      Remember when I said I was going without him...I lied.

      Truth me told though if his PPG tails off, which it might then he's not worth it. I think its best to start with him and asses.

      he's no one season wonder mate

      might not top last season but still expect him to do extremely well with the addition of likes of keita fabinho

      Would imagine so.

    Why are people suggesting Mendy isnt nailed ?

    He trained with france squad in world cup and even featured in one game..Cant say he isnt fit to start

    His citys 2nd most expensive purhase and i cant see him being a bit part player for pep.

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      When people are saying he is not nailed, they mean he is not nailed to start the season. Need to read between the lines sometimes.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        so he'd start fro gw2 then ? id be happy to bench and play a sub plus arsenal away city likely to concede anyways

        citys fixtures from gw2 is too good and mendy offers great potential at both ends

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          No one knows when he'll start because of his injury history. I don't see why this is confusing.

          But most people arent looking to know if he starts week 2, I wouldnt either.. thats like picking Hazard to start because you know he will be nailed on at some point.

    I have been thinking a lot about the best premium options among strikers and mids and i think that for the beginning of the season choices are limited:
    -Aguero/Jesus: have barely played and face rotation risk
    -Kane: has barely played, does not score in August, patchy fixtures
    -Salah: in form, fixtures, has played pre season -> BUY
    -Sanchez: in form, has played pre season, may be OOP, on pens -> BUY
    -Sane: bad comments from Pep on his form
    -Mahrez: Pep seems to like him and limited competition until Sterling returns -> BUY (if fit)
    -Mane: form, fixtures, may be on pens -> BUY (either him or Firmino)
    -Firmino: no rotation risk, good price, fixtures -> BUY (either him or Mane)
    -Auba: tough 3 fixtures but form and limited rotation risk. -> WAIT
    -Laca: rotation risk
    -Morata: poor form
    -Eriksen: good form and quality player but Average fixtures -> BUY if you must
    -KDB/Haz/Alli/Vardy/sterling/Lukaku: not yet back to training so should be excluded

    As a result of this analysis, I think the big hitters to start the season have to be:
    1/ Salah
    2/ Sanchez
    3/ Mane or Firmino
    4/ Mahrez or Eriksen

    Hence my first RMT:

    Ederson 4.0
    VVD Bailly Doherty Tomkins Hoedt
    Salah Sanchez Mahrez Richarlison Cairney
    Firmino King Jimenez

    What do you guys think?

      Sanchez @ 10.5m in a not very attacking side with middling fixtures and a load of 1st team players missing around him doesn't sound a good combo to me.

      Broadly agree with everything else though

      Sounds like you want a core to work with.

      I'm not sure why Sanchez is so high on that list

      I think you have a point, but it´s not as clear cut as you make it out to be.

      Aguero and Auba can both do well. Bellerin vs Sane is gonna be a disaster for Bellerin, Monreal hasnt played yet and Mustafi/Sokratis is not a very fast CB pairng. City can easily concede a few as well with several players not being in the team.

      I am not a big FPL fan of Mane, so I would hardly say he is essential with Shaqiri at Liverpool as well and Sturridge getting minutes. Doesn't get a lot of bonus. Can be explosive, but can also be subbed off.

      Morata might start well against Huddersfield. His form has been poor but Conte was a disaster last season. Morata's finishing was off, ill give you that, but no reason he cant rediscover that form again with a manager that acually wants to attack and support the main striker.

      Mahrez might have competition in a GW2 or GW3 at the latest so it's a bit of a gamble. I feel he might take a while to settle as a playmaker and will be stuck on the wing for most of his first year. Will Pep also play two left footed midfielders in the same midfield? I don't know about that, but D Silva is way above Mahrez when it comes to a midfield spot.

      Some food for thought maybe. As for the team, not a fan of Ederson, Doherty, Hoedt, Robertson > VVD for ownership, King & Jimenez.

        "Would Pep play two left footed midfielders in the same midfield?" It's not some kind of disability.
