    Has Hamer got he spot over Lossl. With a 4.5 and a 4.0 a playing 4.0 is nice just in case and maybe could start him occasionally

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      He was aweful I think he will be dropped

      1. 420king

        This

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          But awful

    2. Albrightondknight

      K. Probably not the first move I would make anyway.
      Never seem to get around to GK transfer - same every year.

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Nah. Dump on WC if needed.

        1. Albrightondknight

          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Oh yes WC - want to ignore that til GW 8 or 9, looks like a lot of fixture swing around that time.

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Good enough.

  2. AnarChYs7

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez to Mane is my FT for the week leaving 1.5 ITB

    Now, with this I can do Ramsey to a City midfielder for their Huddersfield game. Mahrez coming off around the hour mark suggests to me that Pep would like him to be involved in the next game.

    Ramsey to Mahrez for 4 points?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Rambo

    2. AnarChYs7
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hijacking my own post. Do you reckon Hart will keep his slot?

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        To buy or keep?

        1. AnarChYs7
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't get your question so I'll rephrase, do you think Hart can be first choice keeper for Burnley?

          1. Clintymints
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Doubt he will oust the other lads

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

            Heaton is first choice

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

            Pope out for months maybe most of season Heaton not that far away I think

          4. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I don't.

        2. AnarChYs7
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Oh now I get it. Buy. I have Patricio at the moment.

          Should mention that this is not something I will do immediately. On the back of my mind.

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            He probably won't.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I think there are at least 2 better keepers than Hart at that club but you never know.
        There is no other way of getting than defence for 4.5 so would be very nice.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Prob wouldn’t do it

    4. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I did the same FT but i wouldn't waste 4 points on another transfer !

    5. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Taking hits after 1 GW smacks of points chasing. Calmness and playing the long game are needed. Unless injuries/suspensions strike I don’t see the need for any transfers just yet.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Well, many that did have avoided price rises which otherwise may have made their trades impossible. And judging by Mané’s performance and underlying stats, I am not surprised by folks taking a hit to get him in.

  3. Ray In Bruges.
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Foster
    Mendy TAA Bailly
    Salah Richarlison BSilva Sanchez
    Aguero Arnautovic King

    Fabianski Peltier AWB Stephens

    What to do here?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Have a nice sleep and put your clothes out all nice and neat for tomorrow

    2. 420king

      keep. great team for gw2

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

    Auba to Lukaku for GW2 worth it?

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You bought Auba for City only?

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

        Reply fail. Posted below!

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Got it.

  5. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez to start against Huddersfield?

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

    Well, no... but just sensing the opportunity to capitalize on a good looking Utd fixture, with the possibility of getting him back in after. But I get your point!

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, not worth 2 FT...

  7. I Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero with the early lead in the captain poll. Plan before the start of the season was to stick the armband on him this GW but the possibility of him being on the bench is terrifying however improbable it might be.

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      How do you not captain Kun at home against HUD?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That Salah chap is pretty good.

        1. Pinky Blinders
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Never heard of him

  8. 420king
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy haul still bothers me. Not because I benched him (only lost 3 points) but because of my rank.
    Bet he blanks a few in a row now just to f*** with me.

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

      Benching a 6m defender is like benching a 9.5m forward

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I wasn't expecting a CS. Foolish, I know...

        Similar to you and Rich (just kidding) 😀

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Sure I got trolled good

      Subtle brag?

      1. 420king

        No. I'm genuinely upset, couldn't post for a day 😀

  9. Albrightondknight

    Liverpool fixtures are pretty bad from 4-8 anyone thinking of losing their pool defender even temporarily come GW4?

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

      More like 5-8

      1. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        gw 6 is shampton at home.

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

      Probably getting rid of my 3 Liverpool assets for that period.

      Chelsea and Man City will have pretty good fixtures

      1. GKP
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I think u need ur head examined.

      2. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Pool forwards are fixture proof.

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Liverpool can score against any team i wouldnt loose any of their assets

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

        ^This

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      They're not bad, just not as easy looking as West Ham and Palace. I still think the first defeat will be against a so called weaker team.

      1. gergin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Palace?

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If we take the view that they are the team most likely to challenge Citeh for the title, they are going to score against most teams and keep plenty of cs. I wouldn't be keen to lose any LIV assets tbh.

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

        Exactly more so than City as more nailed

    6. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Appreciate the replies all. Consensus seems to be to stick. Cheers.

    7. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depending on price rises, yes I will consider getting rid of 1 or even 2 of my pool players when their fixtures turn. Probably won't change however if any of their prices have gone up too much to buy them back later. So for now its just enjoy the points they got for me this weekend and see what happens over the next few weeks.

    I suspect most of you are in Last Man Standing?
    To join, you only needed 57 this GW.
    988-578 to enter.

      Luckily yes. Thanks.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Do you need to do anything each gameweek other than play? Apologies I only the LMS stuff picking a winning team each week but can't pick the same team twice.

        Nothing, just score the safety score at least.

          Someone joining in GW22, does he need to have the eligible score only for the previous gameweek or for all the previous gameweeks?

          1. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights

              Makes sense. 🙂

      Thanks for running this TM. Looks fun.

      Just so I understand..... you could theoretically be number 1 in the world and still be eliminated from LMS if you have one bad week?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, plenty have finished 1st in LMS one week and eliminated the next.

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Based on Peps comments on Sterlings recovery time being very quick I wouldnt expect him to be benched much

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah it was a bit weird seeing him on the left side but fair play to Mahrez, he looked good on the right. No clue how Sané gets back into the squad.

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Mahrez played on the right for Leicester. A sort of inverted winger.

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, everyone assumed that Mahrez was a threat to Sterling, when it was really Sane that was under threat. The system now works exactly how Pep would prefer: his outside attackers--Sterling and Mahrez--are able to cut in on their favored foot, while the overlapping backs--Mendy and Walker--are the ones who get to the touchline and need to be stronger with their left and right foot, respectively.

          I'm not saying Sane doesn't get back in the side, but I think he only works if Delph is playing, because then Pep allows Sane to provide the width.

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

    Some question on Ars defence. Would like some help here as apart from expected return dates from injury I don't know who is nailed
    1. Would you consider defence double up from GW3 or 4 with great fixtures ahead ?
    2. Is Lichsteiner nailed til Kos is back which could be as far off as Dec. He could be nice value at 5.0
    3. Nacho good for a spot when back as Kola is out til start of October it seems.
    4. Ignore point 3 just get Bellerin over Nacho anyway.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1. No - ARS have not been very reliable for cs.
      2. Not sure - check team notes above.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1. Probably not. Too early to say how goo our defence is. One is enough.
      2. No he isn't. He is second choice to Bellerin at RB. And looks like he is 4th choice at LB after Kolasinac, Monreal and Maitland-Niles.
      3. He should be, yes.
      4. Yep, Bellerin is the best for me.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        good*

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ok so who do you think will start beside Mustafi in central defence?

        1. Jazz!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Sokratis.

        2. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Sorry I have over thought this one trying to find a 5.0 Ars defender - Nustafi and Sokratis I presume. 🙂

    3. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      4. Bellerin looks the pick of the lot

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

        Thanks all Bellerin it is.
        And no double up.

    4. AndyCook
        5 years, 8 months ago

        1. Probably not unless they look much more solid than last season
        2. No we is a right back by trade, not seen any evidence of him playing centre half. Sokratis and Mustafi I would expect to remain the centre half partnership. If I had to pick from those two it would be Sokratis.
        3. Monreal is a nice option but Maitland-Niles could stand in occasionally or even Lichtsteiner now which leads me on to 4. I’d prefer Bellerin all things considered. He is the most attacking anyway. Monreal got an unusually high goal count last season that I wouldn’t expect him to replicate

    5. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have Bellerin on my watchlist for his attacking potential but I still think Arsenal look prone to laps in concentration, so would like to see them get a few clean sheets under their belt before bringing one of them in. I think Cech is also at risk of possibly losing that starting place. He looks as shaky as I’ve ever seen him.

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Cech: Emery (sadly) confirmed he's first choice for now, few more bad performances needed.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks.
        I will have Bellerin by GW3.
        Hopefully Lenonsteps in and does well.

      If Alonso, I will play 4-4-2

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’d find a way to play both

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

        Other defenders and mids?

      3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Luiz is the value pick... and Alonso is not the scoring Alonso

    8. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Any thoughts on Bilva? Not sure what to make of his playing time chances over the coming weeks. I guess just hold him until we see if Pep rotates him?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yep

      2. Jackie Moon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeh I'm keeping for now. Pep seems very impressed with him at the moment and I don't know when DSilva will be back. Only going to change when there is something to suggest he's going to be rotated. He's a steal at that price in the City team for now!

      3. maratus
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Definately some rotation incoming.
        We cant know how this City bingo will go.

      4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I think Dilva has an injury... one of monitor

    9. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Start Wan Bissaka solely for his attacking threat, Peltier or Cook this week?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Tough one

        I think I’d punt on Peltier

        1. ZTF
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers, I think I'm leaning towards that anyway as I have Liverpool and West Ham attackers

      2. amit1964
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        there will be no attacing from cry this week

      3. AndyCook
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Can’t see any attacking this week, Peltier for me. Won’t get many better fixtures

        This week:
        Peltier or PWA ?

        1. Holmes

          Van Aan

        2. Mysterion

          Patrick Wan Aaronholt

        Appreciate your comments 🙂

        Fabianski
        Daniels, Robertson, Wan-Bissaka
        Eriksen, B Silva, Salah, Mkhitaryan

            Don't know about playing Wan-B this week though.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Hoist up the Wan-B's sails... but seriously Peltier at home for me

        Is Bennet(Wolves) nailed?

        1. Mysterion
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Not sure... Dendoncker is a baller and can play at the back too

        Bench Zaha for Peltier? Liverpool look tuff

        1. nisag17
          • 14 Years

          No.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No way

        3. Jackie Moon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Zaha (like Arnie) can score in any game and Liverpool are not as good at the back away from home.

      8. SpaceCadet

        Sanchez dilemma. Keep or dump for one of these options?

        a. mane
        b. kdb
        c. hazard
        d. eriksen
        e. keep

        1. Pinky Blinders
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I’d definitely dump him for Mane. Sánchez is just not in a good role. Mane might keep pace with Salah for top points this season if he can stay healthy. KDB, Haz and Eriksen are all solid long term picks but Mane is on form right now, so worth it to scoop him up.

        2. amit1964
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          they are all better options

          1. Warblers
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Excepting e.

        3. waldo666
          • 13 Years

          Not sure it's a dilemma, keep him for at least another week and reassess all options.

        3. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Can he use the WC and tfrs go? I presume this will be the case even if he had the score. Otherwise private bets around.

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

            Yeah, WC or FH.

        4. Baberto
          • 9 Years

          Perhaps he's going for the most valued team, but then he already had most of the price risers.

        Salah Mane Richarlison Sessegnon (Stephens)
        Aguero Lacazette King

        For long term:
        Patricio
        Robertson Mendy Tomkins
        Salah Mane Richarlison HAZARD KDB
        Wilson Zaha (Kamara)
        Premium midfielders.

        What do you think? Thx.

        1. FPL Hitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Basically dump Premium Fwds for Mids. Can work both ways

          1. Mikei
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            You're right, but KdB and Hazard are 100% ready for every match. Lacazette not and Aguero maybe.

        2. Warblers
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Thinking along the same lines. There just are no Suerez, former Kun, Henry type locks at forward anymore....

          1. Jackie Moon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Well there is Kane! He will score around 30 goals again this season as he has done for a few seasons now. I personally don't have Kane now, but would prefer him over Hazard for sure. Not just yet though, waiting for Spurs to actually start playing at their home ground for starters.

        3. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Do it slowly but yeah the mids option is better but do it slow no need to take hits.
          Don't know why people still persist with spending cash on a front 3, it has been clear for years where the value lies.
          Having said that I still like the idea of one big hitter up front, as a C alternative to Salah occasionally.

          1. Mikei
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            So far I have been thinking about it. I don´t want to make hurried conclusions. 🙂

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

              I started playing a mid 5 about 2 years ago.
              First lesson I learnt is they don't all need to be bigger hitters it will weaken the rest of your team and it went badly. Like any formation you choose there needs to be balance.

          2. Baberto
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, but the thing is, Auba+Kun upfront will always look more promising than Mane+Erikson (just an example) in the middle.

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

              Looks can be deceiving.
              Seriously I have Auba see him as a season keeper and worth the outlay.
              Kun is amazing but I don't agree and the reason being is he never sees enough minutes. If he did he would score well over 250 every year but he hardly gets 200.
              Knowing the right time to own players like Kun is the the secret I never figure out.
              Maybe home to Huds is a good time 🙂

              1. Baberto
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                I somehow feel City's gonna go 5-3-2 with Mendy back. Heard a Pep's interview on this last season.
                Auba's definitely a season keeper. I was actually on Mane+Zaha. Turned to Mililo+Auba just hours before the dead line. I am not actually sad for the points missed, cause I know now I can easily swap Kun out for an 'in-form' mid

            2. Pep says
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              You're saving 3m with the latter though which can do alot for the remainder of the team and if Salah is gonna be a set and forget captain then 2 11m strikers is too much I feel especially since Kun is/could become a rotation risk and if Laca nails a starting place then it will affect Auba's position possibly in a negative way

              1. Baberto
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah I know, I just thought a prem forward can easily be swapped for a prem mid, but the opposite is next to impossible. If Auba and Kun hadn't had a blank on gw1, and continues scoring till gw4/5, there's no way of bringing them in. As Albrightondknight has rightly said, it's always about the 'right time' to bring them in.

      12. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Will Heart keep his place? He could be better value than Patrício at 4.5 with the Bur back line...

        1. Jackie Moon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Too risky at this stage. He was brought in because Pope and Heaton both got injured right before the season started. I would think Heaton would come back in when he is fit, but no idea what the manager thinks.

        2. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          When he inevitably makes a couple of blunders then he will lose his spot

      13. cuterandy

        Will Iheanacho start regularly for Leicester?

        1. Baberto
          • 9 Years

          Seems like

        2. AndyCook
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Probably not

        3. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          So 164 000 net transfers is the delta for a price rise? How does that compare to last year?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Mane is about 130K net.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I was looking at the FPL stats. I can only presume there is cover for WC's

            • 8 Years

            Doesn't it depend on ownership and not a set number of net transfers in?

          What do you think is the best option?

          A. Save transfer week 2 & Smalling to Bellerin week 3, 0-5 ITB.

          B. Smalling to Peltier week 2 then Hughes to a Mkhitaryan week 3.

          My team is:

          Fabianski
          Mendy Robertson Coleman
          Salah Mane Richarlison Hughes
          Aubameyang Arnautovic Zaha

          Subs: Foster, Smalling, AWB, Stephens.

            A. I think
            But where is your City attack and when is that planned?
            They have amazing fixtures starting this week.
            I personally don't buy into they will get rotated so don't have them. Pick the ones who you think will be most nailed and get them. Anyway some of those City guys with a cameo at the end against a weaker team can haul.

            1. Blue&White85
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks.

              Yeah, City definitely do and it is a bit of a worry this weekend. I wanted to give it a couple of weeks and see who is most likely to play. Would love to have Aguero but decided against it because I honestly think Jesus will start against Huddersfield.

              The midfield is also tricky to call, KDB is probably the most nailed going forward. However, at this point I wouldn’t want to swap Mané for him.

        5. GoonerByron
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Would you start Peltier this week over any of Shaw, Holebas or TAA?

          1. Blue&White85
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Maybe Holebas (not sure though)but definitely not the other two.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Peltier over Shaw??? Put that crack pipe down.
