    Sanchez missing today? Oh dear

      Dunno yet...

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      He didn’t travel with the team. But may have travelled alone.

      Who knows haha

  2. vova

    Thinking about wildcarding depending on what happens in the Man City vs Huddersfield match. Anyone else in the same position?

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

      No

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

      At least you're waiting until the Sunday of this GW. Team that bad that it needs WC?

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

        Not particularly, just liking some players that I wasn't considering before the first game week. I often play my WC early.

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

      Yeah. Prefer not to but there's 5 or 6 moves I fancy. Hold tight if you can is what I'm telling myself

    4. TAT
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Tempting. For my own team I might get away with two -4's the coming GW's, but I really don't know what's best.

    5. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      not yet

    6. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      No

  3. Mic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    So is Austin going to keep his place? Still fancy him. Been getting chances

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      ings is miles ahead of him

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

        Ings has a much worse ppm than Austin oved the years.

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

      Probably, he is injury prone though.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      A fair few Southampton fans want him dropped. They want Gabbi & Ings up front.

  4. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Cool kids - I am selling Rica and getting kante.. 3 in 3 chances or a box to box midfielder playing for Chelsea. No

    1. Big Sum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Wish I was a cool kid

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        You will follow us soon..don't worry kante will do a kane.

        1. Big Sum
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          I know, he is on my WC plans, but not for now

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

      Not a fan of this TBH.. Seems to be all the rage though.

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

        Another GW to decide if it's just because Hazard isn't starting. He's been advanced last two games.

  5. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Ive pulled the trigger on Luiz > Alonso. Could he considered sideways, but after yesterdays performance i think Sarri will want to sure up that defence, and Luiz could easily make way for Cahill/Christensen. Alonso's first 2 games have secured his spot i'd say.

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

      Sound enough move.

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

      That's what I did. Looks more dangerous in Sarri's system than he has in previous seasons and has always managed to rack the points up.

  6. The Legend Squad
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Who scores more over the season, King or Alonso?

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

      Alonso.

    2. Big Sum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Alonso, even without CS

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Alonso imo

    4. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      The King

    5. The Legend Squad
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      No brainer to play 4-4-2 with Alonso rather than 3-4-3 with King then?

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

        I'm doing it

    6. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      King 120-140
      Alonso 150-180

    7. Halftime
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Including clean sheets, Alonso

  7. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    2FT

    Sell 2:

    A) King
    B) Jota
    C) Jonny
    D)Peltier

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

      A and D

    2. Big Sum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      B and D

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

      A and C

    4. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      A B

    5. vova
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      A and B IMO since they are likely to fall in price soon. Peltier can wait IMO as he is very cheap and is likely to be on your bench a lot of the time anyway.

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

      AB

    7. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      WC

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

      1st 3 for a hit

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

      A then take your pick of rest

    10. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      AB

  8. ZTF
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Would be typical if after I got 41 from my first 5 players, my captain (Aguero) and vice (Sanchez) were both missing...

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

      Nice, who's the 5?

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

        Maddison, Richarlison, Arnautovic, King and Cook (off the bench)

    2. Big Sum
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      That means your sous vice captain, wan bissaka comes to the rescue

  9. LÖrKingMuch
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Not long until Sterling time, low FPL ownership and could be a differential...

    1. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Today’s captain

      1. LÖrKingMuch
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Good luck, should get you good results

        1. Oven Glover
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Here’s hoping! GL to you as well 🙂

    2. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      You were saying???

      1. LÖrKingMuch
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Ah well, next week then. Bl**dy peptation... 😉

  10. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    King will drop tonight won't he 🙁

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

      I think so. But is he injured? Someoone told me that he leave the pitch yesterday with a knock?

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

        Don't think so, just crap

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Yep. Probably going to get Auba for him - got the money ITB to do it. King punt has failed so time to cut losses and go back to the one I was originally going to start with.

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

        Auba should come good. I need to choose between Zaha, Arnie, Wilson. Not ideal as Zaha hasnt played yet

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Zaha. Integral to their team, good fixtures and Palace playing well.

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

            Could get injured tomorrow.

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 days ago

              You roll the dice and take your chances IMO. If King drops he will have to stick or get Wilson.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Very likely to drop, hopefully it’s only 1 drop before the deadline. Keeping for the Everton game should be high scoring

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

        Yeah will be typical of him to score next week when everyone has sold. However I dont want to be priced out of the 7m options, I have only 0.5 itb

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          That’s fair enough I would make the early transfer, I done the last night with Bavies > Alonso because I thought he was rising

  11. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Most recent rumours are Aguero starting with Jesus upfront

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

      Source?

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      With Jesus or not at all apparently

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

        Aguero with Jesus or no aguero at all?

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          So that Twitter fella said

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

      Any links? I've just logged in

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

      That's what I've been expecting, both to play

  12. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Would you sell or keep bailly?
    For who?
    Thinking about chilwell

    1. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Who would you transfer him out for ?

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Bailly to chilwell maybe?

  13. Bissisine
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Is King injured?

    1. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Haven’t seen anything in that regard

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Nope.

  14. Sasquatch Slayer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    What price would you put on value ? Is a 0.2 worth -4 over the season ? Less? More? At what point does value justify hits

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

      It doesn't, the player and the potential for returns justify it.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Impossible to definitively quantify. But points are infinitely more important than TV. A 100.5 team can wipe the floor with a 110.0 team on points.

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      You need 20 points per million over the season minimum. So 0.2 is 4 points exactly.

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

      TV is more important in a season where it's all heavy hitters doing the damage (which has happened in seasons of yore)

      This season looks to be packed full of value in midprice assets, so TV doesn't really matter.

      I'm playing to minimize hits this year as a result.

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

        I'm starting to lean to this conclusion also. If Aub, Kane, Aguero start firing it could change. Bud I feel like a range of mid-price assets will match them across the course of the season.

        Makes it more fun too if there are more variables and options in play.

    5. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Wouldn't necessarily look at it from the TV vs pts hits perspective. Bar longing injuries, I can justify a hit if I already planned to bring in a player who is about to rise, but wouldn't be able to otherwise if I react to late. e.g. Was planning to do after GW3 King>Zaha (good pedigree & long-term fixtures), but will have to do this tonight instead because of the price changes.

  15. Agger
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    I hope the scaremongering tactics worked and made people not captain Aguero. He'll explode today.

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

      Aguero (practicing)

      1. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Needs more oooooo

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I would love it if Pep has merc'd loads of people today and starts Aguero.

      I will not be happy if he has merc'd me as an Aguero(c) though.

    3. VS10_
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Capped Salah but hope he does well. Would be one less player to worry about.

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

      Almost whole scoutcast got scared off and went Salah. Hoping they don't know something I don't. If he gets a hatty this could be huge for our start.

  16. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Is sanchez a doubt today? Heard a comment he's not in the squad?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Didn't travel with the squad.

      1. Kryten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Wow that's gonna be hard to take for owners

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Likely he's travelling to the game on his own for some reason.

  17. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Is there not still a concern over Alonso’s defensive skills or is he nailed in first team now with Emerson getting cup games?

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

      I'd treat him more like a 6.5m mid tbh with the positions he gets into.

  18. ignis88
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    So what was Fraser’s average position the past two games?

  19. Patson Dabaka
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Pedro @ 6.5 looking like a bargain right now

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

      Not as much as Kante @ 5.0m

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        What did he do?

      2. Patson Dabaka
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Not sure I can get behind the Kante love. Yes his advanced position looks deliberate and eye catching, but he doesn't have an eye for goal at all. First game he was well lucky to score (miskick). Missed a free header yesterday and once Hazard is back he'll be deeper surely. I'm obviously wrong though (its fpl) and 5m is silly cheap.

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Would get him or Richarlison?

    3. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Sure is. The kinda player we all avoid due to rotation worries and casuals pile in on and gain a well scoring differential .

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

      Except we don't know what's happening when Hazard starts

    5. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Likely to keep his place coz can't see mid of Barkley cant Jorginho dropping
      And haz and willian on flanks..

    6. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah, but Willian could oust him in a few games

    7. Fassy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Chelsea refused to sell Willian for 55 million. That's the reason I don't have Pedro in my team, at some point he will be benched.

  20. kysersosa

    Man City line up.........

    In 30 mins!

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

      Be cool.

  21. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    This is the perfect time for Kun 4 goals 8 assists. It there was not the rumour, most of manager would captain him vs HUD like in the past. Now we can enjoy it with other people went with Salah.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Lol that would be quite the score allright!

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

      I've been quite happy with these rumours as a non-owner 😆

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      im just hoping a brace from him

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    29 mins to go...

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

    It's just gorgeous having 4 attacking LBs on the pitch

      Alonso, Robbo, PVA, Mendy?

      1. Simon69

        Shaw instead of PVA.. Hoping for a big season from the lad.

    Why am I suddenly doubting Sterling starting. Absolutely dreading looking at this lineup

    1. diesel001

      If Aguero is dropped, why not Sterling? Sterling played more WC minutes and came back later than Aguero so surely is more in need of a rest?

      He should start IMO, even if both Aguero and Jesus start.

    A. Starting
    B. Benched

    1. DAZZ

      A

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      C. Not in squad?

    3. Totalfootball

      Could be either..
      If starting awesome , scores a hat trick .
      If benched and city struggling (unlikely) , comes on at 60 and scores a brace
      If benched and city winning (likely) , might not come on ..salah VC comes into play
      If benched and city winning (likely) , might come on for 10-15 mins and can still deliver...!
      GO CAPTAIN KUNNN !

      I have him and as captain. I am fairly confident he will start. Feel there may be something in the 2 up top rumours too.

        He's been excellent in the past. Usually on the money, but its been tricky this week I think

    3. Simon69

      What does this idiot know? "My sources..." Twitter is painful at times.

        He knows more than me, so I thought I'd pass it on 😉

    Aguero anytime goal scorer odds are on the drift slightly. 1.36 all week just gone out to 1.40 and jesus into 1.44 anytime gs

        Wise. Doesn't take a lot to be an ITK - Just start your tweets with ''My sources..''
