    How many weeks do we think it will be until Lovren is back in the starting lineup?

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I'd guess 2, 3 at the very latest, unless there is an injury or summat we don't know about

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks! I am thinking about putting him in my team but it is hard to do it because he wont play in gw1 probably. But... as they say. it is a marathon, not a sprint.

        1. Rogue Todd
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Yeah, same dilemma here.

    2. krzys
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Walker and Stones played yesterday. No reason why Lovren can't play GW2 or even this Sunday.

  2. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Pick one:

    A) Tomkins and Bdnarek
    B) Cedric and Aaron wan B

    1. Mr Q
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Tomkins and w-b

  3. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Thanks to all who helped me with the draft:) I asked because it's a friend-money league with 120€ in the pot.

  4. Evasivo
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Best mid for £8mil? Strange bracket tbf

    1. Jamie_GAWA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      agreed, also looking for a mid 8.5 or lower

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Nothing in-between 6.5-8.5 :/

    2. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Use to be a delight when your Spud and Pool mids came in that bracket.

      Now it's just Pogba

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        pogba but looks like he s leaving

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Pogba
      Ramsey
      Miki

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Eww, I have Mhki ATM but worried about gametime

    4. Galza
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I’ve got Siggy.
      Will likely become one of the Arse in a couple GWs...

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Doggy! Not a bad shout, presumably sharing spot kicks with Baines?

        1. Evasivo
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Lol *Siggy

      2. Midlands Saint73
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Me too but with Bernard joining Everton have about 8 midfielders now so rotation is a worry.

        1. Galza
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          I reckon he’s probably the safest still, however as I said, he’s an easy sideways move to one of the Arse or any current band wagon...

    5. pdc
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Gylfi

    6. ewangri
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Keita if you have a Liverpool space. Will be a solid point scorer

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Cheers but already have RobSalFir

  5. manutd99
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Neves or costa

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      i m going neves, on pen

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Costa not nailed now.

    3. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Neves plays deep but is on pens

      Costa has more attacking threat but with Traore signing, his minutes might be managed

      If I knew that Costa will be a starter, I would picked him.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        People more knowledgeable than me seem to suggest their preferred front 3 will Costa-Jota-Traore, with Jota assuming a false-nine role.

      2. The Mighty Hippo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        It's hard to tell how they'll line up with Traore signing. Ideally they would push Jota up front and have Costa and Traore either side of him, but I suspect it will potentially impact on Costa's time.

      3. Halftime Lemon
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        I keep looking at Ralls in that slot. Cardiff going to rely on his set pieces, no? Somebody talk me out of this please.

  6. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Which option do you prefer and why?

    A) 2x 4.5 GKs + Bailly
    B) DDG, 4.0 + 4.5 defender

    1. manutd99
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      If only 1 x 4.0 then B

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        DDG (4.0)
        6.0 6.0 4.5 (4.0 4.0)

        In structure terms, option B) would lead to something like that lol

        1. manutd99
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          2 x £4.0 is pushing it. Could do 6.0 5.5 4.5 (4.5 4.0)

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      4.5 GK + 4 GK + 6.0 defender

  7. supersham
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Realistically what overall rank are you aiming for this season?

    1. Evasivo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      1

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      1

      1. supersham
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Maybe add a few more 000000's

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      inside 100k

    4. banskt
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      better than 1854 (my previous best).

    5. arndff_
      • 14 Years

      Top 10K

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      1st

    7. Galza
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Would love a top 100k after last season...

    8. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Good enough so I can post it and say "any good?" like a cock every week

    9. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 10k at last hopefully

    10. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 20k. Finished Top 5k last season, but would be very happy to win my MLs and finish even Top 20k.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Good stuff mate.

    11. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 2K

    12. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 10k minimum but the target is always top 1k

    13. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Just outside 25k last year so 10k for this.

    14. child of God
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 100

    15. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      9183 or better 😉

      Must improve from my first season last! Will try not to take as many hits as I did last year.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Good point.

    16. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I am always trying to beat my best from a few years ago of 1500

    17. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 100

    18. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      always top 100k is my aim

    19. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      10K

      Was 22K last season and 200K season before

    20. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Good enough so I can lol@those outside top 10,000 or whatever, on a weekly basis.

    21. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I've had three awful years. Prior to that I was always under 100k. Best being 30k. Would love to equal that again and taste the sweet nectar of victory (sort of)....especially as I give it the big one at work

    22. The_Adam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Top 10k

  8. TAT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Depending on formation: Maddison or King?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      King to start with. Get a feel for Maddison over the first few weeks.

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        That might be a good idea. Two transfers should do it, if Maddison impresses.

    2. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I have both.

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Considering that, but thinking if both is too much. Have Jota as the 6.5 mid at the moment, and King as my third striker. I wonder if he'll be the main man or playing behind Wilson, for example.

  9. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Mane Salah Bobby too much from the start ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Don't you like points?

    2. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I wouldn't get Firmino from the start

      1. Jake.l_8
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Why not?

    3. Evasivo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I'm tempted too

    4. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Just Mane and Mo for me

  10. mr messi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Mahrez and Cairney or
    Bilva and Jota?

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      B

    2. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      b

    3. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I have mahrez and Cairney

      A lot depends on where you can put the money

    4. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      B

  11. Gomolon
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    How seriously do people take the RMT tool? Just made a team with a score of 354, about 20-25 points better than previous efforts

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I don't use it at all, but I can see how it might be useful if you are stuck with some decisions and want a push. Not for me though, I don't want a computer picking my team.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Not very. It's a predictor.

    3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Not very. its decent to get ideas about a budget def, 4th mid or 3rd striker etc

    4. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      It’s actually quite good. I’m suprised it’s not talked about more often.

    5. 4zim
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      New here. What's the RMT tool?

      1. Gomolon
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        It's a members only feature which shows you points predictions for every player throughout the season and you can use it to build different drafts of teams to see how they compare to one another. My score above is based on the first 6 GW's, which is the default for the tool

      2. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        https://rate-my-team.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/

        You can put your FPL ID in and it predicts how many points your players/team will score in upcoming weeks.

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    who is brighton number 2 keeper after ryan, looking a 8.5 keeper combo, thanks

    1. krzys
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Apparently Button.

  13. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Spurs assets being overlooked?

    Eriksen is consistently brilliant for fantasy points

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      worry is that many 1st teams players not ready yet

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I’ve got Mahrez and Mane, but expect one of them to make way for Eriksen at some point.

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Same.

    3. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Their time will come...

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      December to February looks like a time to invest in Spurs assets.

  14. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Would you rather:

    A) PvA, with the ability to rotate 4.5 keepers
    B) Davies, and committing to one 4.5 keeper to start every match (e.g., Patricio to start, then Fabs)

    Thanks in advance.

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      4.5 keeper with PVA/Bavies/another premium

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        I've already got Mendy and Robertson. Which of the options I mentioned would you do? Cheers.

  15. Dickie1898
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Robertson or VVD?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Easy robbo

    2. Meppelfield
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      VVD

  16. Up the tics
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Best 5.0 defender? Can't see any good picks in defence other than 5.5 or above...

    Was thinking someone out of the Burnley back line

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      there's not a lot imo. I'd rather drop down to 4.5 and use the half mill elswehere

      1. Up the tics
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Which other are options, I have tomkins and cedric already?

    2. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Shaw

      1. Scout
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Is shaw nailed?

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Funny old price bracket the 5m defenders. Maybe find a 4.5 and use the rest somewhere else.

      1. Up the tics
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Tomkins, cedric I already have, any others rotate well

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Bournemputh go quite well with Palace iirc.

    5. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Lovren and TAA, but i guess they will miss a couple of GWs

    6. Galza
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I’m having a go with Janmaat...

    7. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I keep saying Keane. 5.0 seeems very fair to me with tbose fixtures.

      1. Up the tics
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Hmm not a fan on Everton myself, think Im swerving them first couple of weeks

    Bernard coming to Everton
    Is this affecting Richarlison?

    Bernard is playing left wing same as Richarlison right?

    1. willl
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Richarlison striker maybe?

    2. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      They're replacing him already?

    3. Greenbackbøøg…

      Think Bernard is flexible, would make most sense for him to rotate with Walcott. Or maybe he's only a depth signing, I don't know

      1. yakirh
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Bernard is a great player I think he is first team material
        Might ease him into the league though

      2. KadMan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Bernard too big for a bench player. He can play RW and that's where I think he will for Everton as well.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Agree

        2. Rogue Todd
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Too big? He's 5 foot 5.

        3. yakirh
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          But he played LW all his career!

    4. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Can also play as a 10.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah, this could be bad news for Siggy as Lil' Bern is quality!

        1. A.T
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Walcott and Tosun more at risk than Siggy. Possiblely Siggy plays deeper but I doubt it.

      Silva to copy Ossie Ardilles’s Spurs “famous five” attacking style?

    1. RIOmybuddy777
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Don't think he,s match fit... I had him took him out, as he has not played any games in pre-season...monitor.

    Who is on pens for Burnley -- Wood or Barnes?

    Are there any penalty takers among the sub-7.0 strikers? I can find only King, Austin and Deeney.

    1. willl
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Wood

      You answered the second question yourself 😉

      1. banskt

        Anybody other than them?

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Possibly Tosun

  22. Pia06rc
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Which would you pick as a 15m pairing?

    A) Ozil and Jota
    B) Siggy and Ramsey
    C) another combo

    Rest of midfield is Salah, Mane and Stephens so need 2 starting mids.

    Cheers

    1. Scout
      • 9 Years

      How much you got to spend on 2 midfielders?

    2. Galza
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Siggy + Jota and keep the change...

    3. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      B Silva and Richarlison/Jota keep 1m

  23. Nutmeg Ninja
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Aubameyang & Richarlison
    OR
    Sanchez & Arnie?

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Of that straight choice, A&R.

    2. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Tough question but probably Auba and Charlie

  24. FPL_Hazards

    Really going round in circles with keepers.

    Who have you gone with and why?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Fabianski & 4.0m

      Reckon he'll gather enough save points & the odd clean sheet to make it worthwhile

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        He is not 100% nailed IMO.

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      A 4.5 + 4 and leaving it has that. The extra 1 or 0.5 isn't worth it in my eyes.

    3. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I was on to post similar. Currently on Foster and Fabianki but not convinced.

      1. RIOmybuddy777
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        At this point foster and fab might not be nailed 100%.

      Don't know as I am boxed in at the moment

      simple. just decide if you want premium or budget and yiu've the balls to go with a 4.0 backup.
      prem - ddg / ed
      budget - fos, fab, ryan etc
      forget rotation

  25. ChelseaKTBFF
    • 13 Years

    Jota v Richarlison HT please

  26. Davekitson

    Any news on Bailly? Likely to start GW1?

  27. windowview

    Keepers. Rotate or set and forget?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Set & forget. Will wildcard in the first 6 weeks probably so will reassess then

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I prefer to rotate but the likes of Ederson at 5.5 is worth getting.

    SSN understands Marco Silva played a key role in the last 24 hours, persuading Bernard the to join him at Goodison Park.

    It’s understood the 25-year old attacking midfielder will arrive on Merseyside for a medical on Wednesday before signing subject to a work permit being granted.

    The news is a major coup for Everton after many of Europe’s top club inquired as to his availability.

    Last week, AC Milan thought they had signed him only for West Ham to appear to jump in to secure the free agent’s signature. Everton and Marco Silva then entered negotiations last night.

    1. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      So it's Silva rather than the glorious history of Everton persuading all these players to join.

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Could be something to do with the fortune he'll earn!

    2. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      West Ham are one of Europe's top clubs?

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        They should of put a bid in for Ronaldo

        1. Rogue Todd
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          The fat one?

    Is double City defence too much? I have Aguero and I just think their midfield is a bit of a minefield. Prefer a nailed Mane over City mids.

    Surely City should keep at least 4 clean sheets in the first 6

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I think it's a decent idea if going Mendy and Ederson. I wouldn't want to chose 2 from their 4 centre backs and Walker at 6.5 is expensive.

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      yep.
