    This could be the final decision for GW1....

    1. King and Mendy
    2. Arnie and Bailly

    Currently on 2. King's fixtures look good and he's on pens. Nailed too

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

      1

    2. Spartac Mac
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      2. Definitely.

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ive gone with 3 of those. I dont think Mendy is nailed

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

        Same. have Mendy, Arnie and King.

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      Cheers all

      1.

    6. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      2 but all except king should be first on the team sheet imo. Would definitely prefer shaw and arnie if that’s an option

  2. Scout
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy nailed at city?

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

      Good god yes and he looks like an awesome fpl prospect

    2. TOBY1
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If fit - for sure

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

      Well he's not going to be nailed at Cardiff.

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Nobody is nailed at City

      Will probably play about 70% of the games if he stays fit

    5. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  3. Lee8686
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What do you think of this team so far? Maybe a couple of changes before finalizing

    Pickford
    Bellerin, Robertson, Daniels
    Salah, Sanchez, richarlison, Jota
    Aubameyang, mitrovic, arnautovic

    Fabianski, Tomkins, Kenedy, Malone

    1. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Aguerovic?

  4. Spartac Mac
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Hi gents / ladies,

    Two questions:

    1) Best 4.5m defender?

    2) Fabianski + Pickford or Ederson + 4.0?

    Thanks

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

      Tomkins
      Ryan and Button

    2. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Schlupp if you haven’t got wan bissaka for some mad reason but holgate or Jonny otherwise

  5. The_Adam
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Imagine if Salah suddently picked up an injury which kept him out for 6+ weeks. Imagine the FPL chaos.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      KDB says Hi

    2. AThousandSuns
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Salah will score the injury away. He is that good. So no need to imagine.

    3. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      no chaos, i for one would be relieved! more money to spend

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Kane and KDB will be popular

    5. Robbo121
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      With 13M to spend, finding a replacement will not be difficult

      1. The_Adam
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I didn't mean it'd be a bad thing necessarily. But it'd make picking a side a completely different task with that extra freedom!

        1. Robbo121
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Might make the season more interesting as there goes most people’s perma captain.

  6. Agger
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I'd share my team on here but because it's not template, I'll be crucified and told to go and see a doctor..

    1. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      please share. i tend to comment only on the non-template ones anyway 🙂

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

        Begovic - Fabianski
        Van Djik - Kabasele - Shaw - Peltier - Sakho
        Mane - Siggy - Alexis - Özil - Romeu
        Aguero - Morata - Gray

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

          Why would you want Morata?

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

            Forward players under Sarri score lots of goals and he'll be the focal point. He did average last season, he can only do better this season I think under a more attacking manager.
            He's got a lot of pedigree and I think 20 goals in the league isn't unrealistic in my opinion. I think he'll do well.

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

              Hmm. I disagree that he was did average last season (for a player of his price) And from what I've seen since, he looks like he has no self-confidence. He could come good, of course. I just haven't seen any signs of that.

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

          Go see a doctor 😉

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

            Will do 😉

        3. JRO093
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I quite like it. I like the Gray pick. Not bold enough to do it myself but can see him doing really well the first few games esp.

          I would prob downgrade Sakho to Tomkins and upgrade Romeu to one of the good 5.0 prospects, and I think there are better 4.5’s than Begovic but otherwise very cool team

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Share it in the RMT section and I’ll have a look

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

        Are you going with any Spurs players?

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Share it still.

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

      I prefer non template like mine

    5. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      You want to see mine! Two 4.0 defs and three 4.5 mids!

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

        Yes please!!

        1. shirtless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Fab
          Robertson Mendy PvA
          Salah(c) Eriksen 5.5 Odoi
          Auba Kun Arnie

          4.0 Stephens WB Peletier

          Plan is 5.5 & Kun becomes KdB & 6.5 when KdB is back and a 6.5 emerges! I want a good start and so have changed my Bilva & 6.5 picks to get Kun in. Looks in the mood!

      2. Mauricios Cappuccino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I would love to see it, I promise I won't tell you to go and see a doctor

  7. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    My frontline is King Zaha Austin.
    I bet the GW1 scorers will be Tosun Arnie Wood...

    FML!!!

    1. Goonermeister
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Would be typical

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      What does your midfield look like. Probably very strong

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Salah Sanchez Mane 4.5x2

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Good that FPL continues for 38 weeks.

      I am going King, Zaha, Wood.

  8. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    In Sky Neves is 8.5m to Jota at 8.3m. I think he may be value at 5.0m in FPL...

    1. Goonermeister
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sky consider other factors that's our CDMs

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sky don't know how to do pricing properly , Pogba was the most expensive mid a couple of years ago just after he joined Utd 😆

  9. Goonermeister
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Charlie Austin. Is he a yes or no from you?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Believe it or not he was the first name on my FPL team... Not many on here rate him though

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

      Yes

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

      Nah

    4. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

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

      I want him to do well, I'll wait and see

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

      The real question is who am i

    7. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Can't deny his pedigree but it depends on his minutes/fitness.

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

      Hell yes.

  10. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Why is firmino so low down on the 6 GW points projections?

    1. Goonermeister
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      This

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

    This ones doing my head in. Thoughts on this?

    A) TAA and Sanchez

    B) Robertson and Eriksen

    Currently on A as Sanchez price point is an easy way to switch to KDB or Hazard.
    Pros of B is That Eriksen could easily outscore anyone, he’s a class act and Robertson is probably the best premium defender.

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

      B feels like the safer option

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

        Thanks

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A is just way better with fixtures and flexibility.

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

        This is my honking. I could cover TAA if he misses GW1.

        I’m pretty confident of him returning by GW2. What’s your thoughts on him?

    3. Spartac Mac
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      That's a tough one.

      But I'd go B).

      Sanchez hasn't exactly been in form for a while now, would wait to see how he does after a few weeks, personally.

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

        It is isn’t it. It’s the final piece for me and I’m not finding t easy 😆

        Thanks for the opinion.

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

      I've went with robbo and Sanchez

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

        I can’t afford that without major adjustments 🙁

    5. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Thanks.

        Why B?

    6. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B... easily.

  12. child of God

    Why no love for Wilson ?please give another reason other than king

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm considering him. However, King is on pens.

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Defoe

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Try asking anyone who owned him last season.

      2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2

      1. Park the bus
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        thats harsh there was a 1 somewhere in that sequence too...

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Scored a hat-trick, bought him in....nothing for 10 weeks.

      Troll!

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ahhh, that hat trick.
        Probably my only highlight of the season.
        Owned him for that.

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      King

  13. Mesh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How will Everton's defence line up?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Probably poorly. The centre backs turn like 747’s

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

        Haha

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Badly

      They need a few new signings before I am tempted to go anywhere near

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

        Yea they don't look good.
        I was just trying to find a 4.5 defender with decent fixtures and was wandering if Jagielka will start.
        Will mainly be benched anyway

        1. Syd.
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          They are trying to sign a CB so I suspect Jagielka's place could be under threat

  14. N00B

    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    a) 3-4-3 with King or 3-5-2 with Maddison/Jota ?
    b) best 4.5 gk "set and forget" between Patricio and Ryan ?
    c) Is Chambers a good option ? 4.5 and I remember he could score some last season.

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

      a) Probably King
      b) I'm on Patricio with Norris, but not certain.
      c) I have no idea. Will he walk into the team?
      username) yes

      1. N00B

    Tosun or Arnie for the first 6 GWs?

    Thanks

      Tosun

  16. Optic1

    Quick poll please lads.

    A) Zaha
    B) King

    I have the .5 difference knocking about in the bank atm.

    Thanks

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      King.

      I like Zaha but he might be pushed out wide if Palace play solo striker

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Was on Zaha for weeks but switched to King as he's looking fairly sharp. Plus as a Bmth season ticketer it makes it a bit more interesting!

      Tempted to keep the money in the bank in case Zaha starts going off.

    4. Mauricios Cappuccino

    Just watched the Bournemouth Marseille highlights. Wilson's goal was nice.

    @ mods. The Pre-season tab has no assist listed for Wilson's goal, yet Surman passed to him before he danced past a coupl defenders and slotted past the keeper. No Marseille players touched the ball, so I don't see how it's not an assist. Is this an oversight or taken from some official source?

      Ssh.

      Everyone will realise that he is the better option (not King).

    Any chance Philip Billing becomes XI at Huddersfield?

    1. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yeh was thinking that. he got injured early on last season I think so could be first choice now he's back?

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        He has looked decent pre-season.

        Just wonder if he is jostling for a place with Mooy (clearly gonna be nailed instead).

        1. Park the bus

          dont know who other centre mid is for them though, will check it out

      I think one of him is more than enough.

    Where can we find our team number? Or do we have to wait for GW1 for the Points tab to become active and then take it from the address bar?

    Anyone else out there who will try 5 at the back? Seen a fair amount of people claiming that "value is in defence" but not many actually following through with their team structure.

    1. F4L

      Defence is DDG Davies Mendy Walker Trippier Robertson right now

        Hot 😎

        Is trippier nailed on? I think he wont open the first GWs

      I made a 5-2-3 team for a laugh a couple of weeks ago

      It was short lived

  22. PRENO
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A) Laca & Murphy
    or
    B) Eriksen & Kamara

    Currently got B cause of Arsenal's first two fixtures but should I just start with A to prevent future transfers?

  23. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else got a feeling that Hazard, KDB, Kane and Lukaku will throw massive Grenada’s into our teams and all start?

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cant see Kane or Hazard starting, but Lukaku and KDB might

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

      Kane might...the others, not so worried about

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Kane (33%) and KDB (28%) to reward the filthy casuals. It's written in the stars.

      Of course

    7. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not really I’d still prefer Mane over KDB/Haz and Aguero/Auba over Kane/Kaku atm.

    8. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Potentially.

      I'm picking up Lukaku. He's fit as anyone in the game and I'm tipping him for a massive season. Think he could win the boot this year.

  24. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Arnie or Zaha?

    1. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      both

      1. Park the bus
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        sorry mate thats a horrendous answer, hate it when people say that to me. I'd go Zaha if a straight choice

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Tosun also should be considered.

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

      Arnie

  25. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Darmian going under the radar as only fit RB at United at the moment

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Agree. Nailed if not transfered differential

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      One thing for sure

      Luke Shaw will never go under the radar

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Might get one game but Young will slot in there if Valencia is out for long.

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      But he is not the only one

    5. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Young can slot in at RB.

    6. RomeluStormzy
      • 7 Years

      Probs leave by thurs

      1. Park the bus
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        he'll be gone. time to switch off for the night when you're considering Darmian.

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Can leave until the end of the month.

  26. Patch
    • 6 Years

    Fabianski - (Skeleton).

    Mendy - Robertson - Tomkins - (AWB) - (Peltier).

    Salah - Hughes - Cairney - Neves - (CHO).

    Aguero - Aub - Kane.

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

      too many big hitters in midfield

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

        They are the magic beans, overall team average score per GW = 62 points

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

        I agree, try downgrading a midfielder to add balance

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

          Imagine if my ghost team enters top 1k :p

    2. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Way too front heavy. Better value in midfield than attack

    3. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      way way way too much in your strikers. surely you can see the rest of the team struggles? Hughes Cairney Neves? to be blunt it's the worst i've seen. defence is ok but i wouldnt be happy with 2 4.0 subs. midfield needs serious upgrades .... i'd lose at least one of Kane or Auba for King and spread the cash around those 3

      1. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Just lose Kane for August. At least.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      ...that's...extreme... 🙂

    5. Hakuna Morata
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly same back 5 for me. Would say atleast for the initial weeks you can downgrade Kane to Arnie and then upgrade a 5 m mid to someone like Mane
      Or could upgrade two to someone of B Silva level

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

      In the voice of Barney Stinson - Challenge Accepted...I may just do a ghost team...blimey if I crack top 1k...

  27. Iwobi
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How often will Aguero start this season?

    1. It’s a Knockaert
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Most games imo-definitely first 1 or 2 and I think will be first choice but pep will still rotate when he’s tired

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

      I wish I knew

    3. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      really?

  28. It’s a Knockaert
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A: king, mane, robbo
    B: zaha, mahrez, robbo
    C: b silva, mane, taa

  29. Hakuna Morata
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Laca + B Silva
    Or
    Auba + Any Max 6m (pls suggest)

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

      no decent mids for 6mil and below so A

      1. Hakuna Morata
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yes same issue 🙁
        I would have loved to keep auba in my team

  30. hogree
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Last debate in my squad could really do with some FFS input - 6.5 mid (Richarlison / Jota) or Josh King up front? King would mean a 4.5 mid on the bench which would obviously be stronger while Richarlison would give me more explosive chance and someone at the 6.5 midfield price point which could be useful for transfers.

    Anyone convinced either way?

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

      I think the 4.5 mid is significant. King.
