    Anyone watch Chelsea v Arsenal?

    Morata looked like a different player to the awful one we know. Only one game and he won't be playing Arsenal every week...but 9.0...

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Nah.

      Kante looks terrific value in Sarri’s set up, he’s obviously been told to get in the box more.

      1. noquarternt
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Can have more than 1 Chelsea player 😉

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Problem is Jorhinio isn't doing enough defensively , nor is Willian or Pedro...so kante going forward is costing them big time. Not sure how long this will last

    2. Team Cruel

      https://i.redditmedia.com/BL7LNlpuU4mQTHN_SkjyqLOqgYTxHGjaxBruprrL0Xk.jpg?w=732&s=7b582bc36ea7d406ab06d991c3c9b801

      If he can practise on his finishing then he'd be an awesome option.

      1. noquarternt
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        That's a class chart.

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        King vs Wilson on that chart is interesting.

        King is down as a middling quality finisher of pretty tough chances.

        Wison is an awful (Benteke-esque) quality finisher of much easier chances.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      He's quality smashed it at Madrid and Juve. I'd have him except worried Giroud will steal alot of mins

  2. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Even though Wolves lost, they created good chances... jiminez looks promising!

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      He's a good 3rd striker

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Wolves could have been up 2-3 nil early in the match. Hit the woodwork 3 times!

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Agreed. Not the easiest starts either — Eve / LEI was no banker. Give them time.

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      It's surprising how invisible Jota has been in all this.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        He did get an assist last week

        1. BON
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          He was fouled for the penalty.

    5. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah, happy Jiminez owner.

    6. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Neves looks like a bargain!!! Very unlucky

  3. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Have 2 FT

    Just do
    A. King to ings
    Or
    B.king and PVA to ings and Alonso (have AWB)

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      B

    2. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      A

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      B

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Mourinho: “Technically Victor (Lindelof) is good. I am “punishing” him a little bit because I play him on the left side. He is better on the right side but so are the others and my option is to put him on the left because technically he is the best so he can compensate.” [Mail]

    Lindelof nailed?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Looking that way. But who has room for a Man United defender?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Four at the back. Doing Bavies>Alonso this week to get Alonso-Mendy-Robbo-Shaw. Shaw might become another United defender or PVA soon.

        1. Squib
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          That is now my defence: Robertson Alonso Mendy PVA.

      2. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        o/

        Can replace Cedric.

      3. Simon69
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Don't have room for any of United's attacking options but the defenders are great value considering their defensive record last season.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Yep Bailly good value

  5. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Crystal ball time, City’s starting XI? I think the only change will be Otamendi or Kompany in for Laporte

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Don’t start this.

      You know what’s coming next....................

    2. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I really hope you're right.

      All about Agüero though.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Reckon Jesus for Gundog

    4. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus up top is the only real certainty... After that, it would be pure guesswork!

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Or out wide

        1. Ibralicious
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Or in place of Kun

  6. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Who to bring in for Kenedy?

    A) Kante

    B) Fernandinho

    C) Neves

    D) Surman

    1. Mikeharbrw
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      If your budget is 5m it's probably kante. The guy was playing almost as a #10 yesterday

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        He definitely looks to be playing a higher role with Sarri.

      2. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        It is yeah I watched the game he was pretty much playing behind Morata

    2. subhojit123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Out of those... Kante.
      But check new castles fixtures before swapping

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Would be VERY surprised if he doesn't get a ban for violent conduct.

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Yeah I heard of his headbutt yesterday he will so and his price will drop tonight or tomorrow so might be a case of making the change before it happens

    3. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I wouldn't get Kante. The manager will surely come to his senses very soon and realise that what he's doing is probably the stupidest thing since harry Kane last took a corner

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Sarri likes to experiment with players can see him giving Kante time to adapt to the role of I'm honest

        1. Pacer.
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          He can't kick a ball straight.

  7. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Still steaming after the Kenedy pen miss.

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      My post above says everything with what I'm doing with him 😉

    2. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      His suspension going to hurt too. Moved him on?

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Wildcarded. Thinking of Kanté, very impressive yesterday.

        1. Limbo
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Good stuff. Sorely tempted but should be able to do enough with a -4 (2FT)

          Kante will get best returns in that price tag if he continues there. Chelsea offering a lot of good priced options early on.

        2. Pillson
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          If you are the type of person prone to an early wildcard, why start the season with kenedy, given his awful opening fixtures?

        3. Pacer.
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          I disagree. I think he looked like an absolute dobber and can't fathom what Sarri is playing at

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Can’t believe he took it given the stinker of a game he was having. Assumed Shelvey would take it after all the substitutions.

  8. subhojit123
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Alonso or trippier?

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Alonso

    2. subhojit123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I know Alonso was terrific yesterday. But on other hand, trippier was on corners, free kicks and crosses... Pretty much like he was doing in England squad...

      1. HurriKane
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        alonso is nailed on. trippier isnt

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Trippier.

      Seems to have replaced Eriksen on set pieces.

      As an Eriksen owner I am now concerned.

  9. The Abyss
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Who d'ya think's most likely to give way to Hazard when he's finally starting?

    Seems to be replacing Willian whenever he's brought on, but don't know if Pedro would be the man to make way?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Willian didn’t impress yesterday and was at fault for Arsenal’s first goal.

      Personally, would keep Pedro who is a better finisher.

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        I'd like to agree, but he's never really impressed in a Chelsea shirt. Thought he was going to be a shoe in when he arrived from Barca. Maybe it'll be his season to nail a spot.

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Hazard will replace Willian imo. Pedro offers something different with his runs in behind.

  10. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Can’t decide between....

    Luiz > Alonso
    or
    Neves > Maddison

    Thoughts guys??

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Surely not Neves to Maddison?

      Alonso looks really, really good while Luiz looks really, really bad 🙂

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Fair point. Just think Maddison is going to be on fire for Leicester and I could always swap Luiz for someone else anyway??

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Personally I think Alonso is more important than switching Neves for Maddison but I may be biased, just got him in 😉

  11. BON
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    De Gea
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson
    Salah, Eriksen, Richarlison, Neves
    Firmino, Arnautovic, Zaha

    Hamer, AWB, Peltier, Stephens

    1.5 itb

    How would you change this team?

    1. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      How would you?

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Eriksen to Sterling.

    3. TerryVenables
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Eriksen>Hazard

  12. doy
    • 8 Years

    Is an early wildcard for GW3 madness?

    Hart McCarthy
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Wan-Bissaka Bennett

        1. BON
          • 13 Years

          Strong team. Save your Wildcard imo. Any FT?

          1. doy
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 days ago

            I did until I did Bavies --> Alonso!

        2. Zladan
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          No wildcard needed.

          Jota and King out.

          1. doy
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 days ago

            Cheers, but there's so many changes I want to make and I feel that a Wildcard would be very handy indeed. I know it's early but it could pay dividends.

    2. amit1964
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      a lot of options 3:4:3 3:5:2 4:3:3 4:4:2 it can all work for you

      1. doy

        Indeed my friend, need the flexibility.

    Sanchez/King the fall guys

    1. BON

      Sanchez to Hazard instead?

      1. JurgenRodgers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Hazard still not ready for 90 mins according to Sarri

        1. Rihanovic
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Your source for this info. Please???

  16. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Did the Wildcard? What do you think?

    DDG, Hamer
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson. PVA, AWB
    Salah, Mane. Mikhi, B Silva, Richarlison
    Zaha, Wilson. Jimenez

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Can you explain PVA? 5.5 for a Palace defender? I just don't get it.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Gets forward in a team with very good fixtures. 11 points in his first game. What's not to like?

    2. BON
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Looks like a benching headache nightmare. If Kane/Agüero/Aubameyang/Sterling/Hazard hit top form you'll need to start taking hits.

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Would like at least one of Aubameyang/Aguero for those fixtures mate but that's me. Looks good for a 4-5-1/3-5-2 sort of hybrid.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      If I were wildcarding, I'd want to be seeing Sterling or Hazard in there as big differentials.

      This is basically a perfect GW1/GW2 team

    5. MTPockets
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Don't think you need 3 cheap starting fwds with that setup.

  17. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    No love for Pedo?

    I think he's great value at 6.5m. Plays in frontline for chelsea and has nice fixtures

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Bare love for Pedo

      They're usually frowned upon

      now then, now then

      And will risk benching when Hazard is back?

  18. Weeb Kakashi

    Foster Patricio
    Mendy Robertson Tomkins AWB Peltier
    Salah Mane Mahrez Jota Richarlison
    Aguero King Kamara

    2 FT.

    Any Suggestions?

    Aguero King Jota Peltier and maybe Mahrez seem to be the ones out.

    WC?

    1. Squib
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Save WC.
      Get rid of King, Jota and I would sack off 1 of the 4.5 GKs for a 4.0.

    I’m looking for GW6 and beyond...

    A) 343 with Vardy

    B) 352 with Alli

    What time are the price drops?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      13 hours to go

  21. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Not sure what to do about King: downgrade to a 5.5 like Ings or Jiminez or get a 4.5 like Kamara in and go all out in midfield?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I wouldn't get 4.5 forward

    2. Udo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Depends on what ur playing? 3-5-2, 4-4-2 etc. If ur 3rd forward is always only used as a sub, u could certainly go for Kamara in my opinion.

    Not seeing much Fraser chat.

    5.5- he did amazingly last season and is off to a flyer this one. Good fixtures, what's not to like?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      If he did amazingly last season, he wouldn't be 5.5.

      1. noquarternt
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        For a Bournemouth mid of course.

  24. bv57

    At this stage of the season would you - 8 or wildcard?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      -8

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Neither.

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I try to avoid -8 hits. It's horrible having that handicap going into a GW.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Your WC is worth way more than 8pts.

      Only wildcard if you can makes at least 4-5 good changes and probably some other lower priority changes while you're at it

      1. bv57

        Cheers guys

    Is it good to swap Hazard for Alexis due to expected fall in Chilean price (per fantasyfix it's now -96.1%) for GW3?

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I would. Hazard is better in every respect. And Sanchez looks miserable/hamstrung under Moo.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        What did he expect utter moron for going to ManU

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Wait until after the game. He can’t drop until 2 am even if he goes above 100%

  26. JamieC180
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    What do people think of:
    A.
    Sanchez --> Eriksen
    Bailly --> Alonso
    B.
    Sanchez --> Hazard
    Save one FT

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Keep Bailly

  27. Coys96
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Who will score more this season?

    Mane or Sterling

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Coin toss but Mane has the value

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Sterling, but Mane is better value

    3. amit1964
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      mane becouse he will play more minutes

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Sterling

  28. Blanka
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    King out and either upgrade fifth mid to say Micky or upgrade a 4.5m defender to Alonso?

  29. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    I can do this moves for free
    Shaw and King to Alonso and Ings
    Then I will have Mendy Robertson and Alonso
    Too much money in defence?

    1. Squib
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Depends on rest of your team but I would do it.
      I have that defence plus Salah, Aguero and Kane.

  30. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Fab Foster
    VVD Mendy AWB Peltier Boly
    Salah Mahrez Pogba Bilva Cairney
    Tosun Firminho KIng

    2FT and 1mill itb

    Original plan was monitor Mahrez and bring in Hazard KDB as appropriate,
    Boly King to Alonso Ings is on and looks a decent upgrade but means Hazard will be a non starter for a few weeks..
    I could do boly King to Ings Pereira (LEI) and still have 1.5 itb to upgrade elsewhere next week...

    Thoughts?
