The most captained and most transferred in player of Gameweek 2 will both be at the heart of the action as the latest round of matches draws to a close.

Sadio Mané (£9.7m) was snapped up by 487,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers after his brace against West Ham in Gameweek 1, and he is in the starting line-up tonight.

Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park having won 2-1 on their last visit back in March. The events of that meeting bode well for Mané and the 54 percent owned Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who both found the net.

Not surprisingly, the Egyptian is the most captained player in Gameweek 2, with 1.4 million managers handing him the armband.

Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), backed by 17 percent of Fantasy managers, also registered an assist during his last trip to Selhurst Park, as well as in Gameweek 1 of 2018/19.

There will also be much interest in the exploits of each side’s forwards tonight with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) the second most-owned option in this encounter, his 35 percent following second only to Salah. Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is not far behind the Brazilian in third place with a backing of 31 percent.

After emerging as a fantastic budget option in Gameweek 1, Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes into his second match of the season now priced at £4.1m and in 22.5 percent of squads.

Tonight’s Monday night match should definitely have a big impact on the outcome of Gameweek 2.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    My current team set up for GW3 is below. I took 12 point hit and made 5 changes. After deduction of the hits, my grand total of points would be 168 for 2 GW with an OR of around 133K. The changes I made were PVA, Bailly, B.Silva, Cairney, King out for Alonso, Tomkins, Mkhi, Pedro, Ings

    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Mendy
    Salah(C) Mane Mkhi Richarlison Pedro
    Aguero(VC) Ings
    Subs: Button, Jimenez, Tomkins, Wan Bissaka

    How does this set up look?

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years

      I really like it.

    2. moment

      It's great apart from the -12

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wild card. -12 is cray cray

    4. the_arrows
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice team, but -12? Better to wildcard i think.
      Get a playing keeper as sub, maybe Hamer and get rid of AWB.

      1. the_arrows
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        My bad. It's only a 1 game ban for AWB. Worth keeping.

      2. ENEMY
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The idea of holding onto Button is that I'll swap Patricio to Ryan later when Brighton's fixtures look brighter :P.

    5. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry but I would’ve kept Bilva and not gotten Ings..

      1. ENEMY
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I didn't like what Kings did in those 2 GW. And Ings takes a shot every 14 min or so. And he looked sharp. I was impressed by Jimenez aswell. He should've had 2 goals the other day vs Leicester! I'll start one of Jimenez/Ings regulary until Arnie's fixtures clear up. But I like the choice of 2 regular striker options for 5.5M each. Gives me more flexibility and my bench value is still around 18M.

    6. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good, but I'd wildcard.

      1. ENEMY
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I am holding my WC for GW12/13 when there are around 10 GW within a month gap. My weekly target was around 60 points per GW. I have reached around 180 points after 2 GW. Hence, took -12 point hit for the betterment of the team and team value.

    Captained Eriksen over Aguero, time to quit already?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Early days.

    2. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It was a bold move, and when such a move pays off, you'll be more than glad you stuck around!

    3. Like an Egyptian Magician

      If ur goal was to win it all knowing that those chances are shittier than winning the lottery then yeh maybe lol but if ur goal is to finish top10k and win ur main league surely no bro. Just do Coleman Eriksen to Alonso Dilva.. Also forgive me but it’s still way too early to be taking maverick risks so quit doing that until further notice ;)))

        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I don't get this 'Maverick' sh1te talk. Eriksen was playing fulham (h) normally everything goes through eriksen.
        He was a decent call before the game. Easy to say it was poor in hindsight.

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nah but learn from it, Eriksen is a steady flow of points kind of player, not an explosive one and thus not a captaincy pick.

    After 25 bench points last week, I'm fairly proud of my -1 this week. Not sure I've ever had a negative bench before.

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

      I got 2,0,0,-2 🙂

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

      I also got a -1. 2 for Fab, 0 for Gunnarsson, -1 for Doherty and -2 for AWB. In that order on my bench too. 🙂

      In other news, my bench is in tatters for the next GW.

    3. Rust Cohle

        No, but made two free transfers, mainly to get in Alonso.

  6. NATSTER

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would I have another 24 hrs to consider Ederson ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      40/60

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        take my chance then

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't waste slots on City or Pool keeper. Does that help?

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I've said that to myself over and over, but Ederson and Alisson will continue to rack up clean sheets so it's a question that deserves consideration

      2. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I definitely agree for Liverpool. But, Man City, it's hard to predict the starting MF.

        1. Like an Egyptian Magician
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          U know that Mendy Dilva Aguerro have nailed their spots until the later stages of CL. I wouldn’t waste a spot on their keeper especially that u could get a def at a similar price thereby matching the cleanie points while boasting significant goal threat..

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That is silly logic. How many city options will start every week and get regular points?

        1. tvz32
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I will take Ederson over any current City mids

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Potential WC team - is 4-4-2 actually a ways forwards with the 4 attacking fullbacks?

    Ederson
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, PVA
    Salah, Mané, Mkhi, Richarlison
    Kun, Ings
    (Hamer, Fraser, AWB, Kamara)

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Great team.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Extremely close to my current WC draft.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        are you in agreement of going aguero + ings up top Roysc?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Quite a few would say things like "ohh but it makes it hard to jump on an aubameyang or a kane" etc, but i really like that team, and mids are where its at bar aguero at current.
      I'm on WC and going aguero ings in a 3-5-2.

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

        I think jumping on Auba is doable (via Kun) if required, but Mkhi looks like he’ll be in on the act for arsenal’s goals anyways... Kane has 8 away games in next 12 fixtures, and 3 of his home games are city, Liverpool, Chelsea so not sure he’ll be justifying 12.5m for a while...

        Drooling at the back 4 + GK combo...

        Ings really has came out of left field as the enabler, looks very playable at 5.5

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Agree with all points made, especially about Kane’s 8 away games in next 12 and playing the big three teams.
          The back 4 is mouthwatering. I’m more than happy with Ings as the enabler, same as you, and if Auba is needed it can always come from Kun or even a downgrade of either Mane or Salah over their ‘tough’ish’ fixtures.
          I’m actually 0.1 off this team, seem to be 0.1 off at every turn, what would be your advice to shaving it off that team you put together?

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Only way i can think is Rich to Walcott?

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

              Yeah rich to Theo is one way. But maybe better is Fraser to Hughes or Neves... I know Neves is a DM & Hughes is a punt, but they would be first sub anyway?

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

                Or if a 4.5 forward drops to 4.4 before end of week!

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Ooo yes! Shall have to keep an eye for a 4.4 through this week if one drops to it 🙂

              2. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Yeah it’s all because i was slightly late to the Rich party, that annoying 0.1 haha.
                I much prefer the Fraser option, good shout, i guess it wouldn’t matter too much as they’d be first sub like you say. Sorted, thanks for this, helps loads as i was settling around the same team you pose.
                Feels only a tad wrong booting Bilva out, but i just don’t think he’s gonna be involved as much as people think he is.

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      similar to mine except ive gone for Auba + Hazard over salah
      still managed to get a defence of Alonso, mendy, trent and bellerin though

      1. Petrichor II
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Why Hazard Rog? Isnt he too inconsistent?

    5. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’d rather save the benching frustration & maximize my starting team’s value by having either Pedro fodder or Wilson fodder instead of Ings Fraser..

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

        Yeah it’s more to cover for the weeks where rotation may kick in...

        Mendy, Robertson, Mkhi, Kun will all lose a game here & there, it’s good to have either Ings/Fraser coming off the bench for points...

        Pedro looks great, but picking him leaves those 4 plus Pedro as slight rotation risks, and only AWB as cover for them, with the other 2 subs being 4.5 strikers

    6. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I still don't think Salah is worth the money.
      You could make an even better one without him.

  8. Petrichor II
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with this lot guys?
    Unlimited transfer.

    Hart, Etherridge
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, Schlupp, Cook
    Mane, Miki, Richa, Pedro, Fraser
    Aguero, Auba, Ings

    No Salah no problem ... Maybe.

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      you should be able to afford hazard as well without salah

      1. Petrichor II
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Auba and Aguero with both of them have good fixtures not enough in your thought?

        Too many big hitters is poor value imo.

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No way for 2 reasons:
      1. Still too early to risk not having Salah. One captained Hattie and ur season is over.
      2. Ur team is ideally set up for benching nightmares
      So huge no go for me..

      I’d do Fraser Aubameyang Ings for Salah fodder fodder playing 4-5-1 and saving the benching nightmare while annihilating the potential death of ur season..

      1. Petrichor II
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wil think of that. Thanks..

  9. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    4.5 in the bank

    B. Silva and Zaha to

    Salah and Ings for a -4.

    Yay or Nay

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Why not start with Salah instead of 4.5m in the bank???

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        long story. forgot to set team on WC. Salah was out as was not rising..

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nope.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would do it. Salah is worth a points hit... shame to lose Zaha but Ings will get goals too

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        alternative to losing Zaha is Kepa to a 4.5 and keep Zaha

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

          Ings is a v good pick imo, as is Zaha. But I think Kepa to a 4.5 is a good move personally

    4. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wont rid of zaha.
      But having salah is a 50/50. Liverpool have more then enough capable players at thier disposal this season. Tho salah is the one playing most fwd but he is replaceable by switch mane or keita into that role. Not forgetting His goal ratio vs chances is poor.

      Question here is: Are the 2 players you got in his place able to out score him over the average of 2gws?

  10. Whats the Mata?

    so out of my 88pts - 76pts are from ManC and Liverpool players!

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      74 from 91. Exactly why I tripled on City and Pool outfield from the start

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I feel like 65 from 4 players combined from those teams matches up well with 74 from 6.

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same. Add Rich to that but the rest are all blanks.

    3. Ghost Gooner

      When they blank its going to be ugly for you

      Exact same points breakdown here.

    5. Petrichor II

      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thay will not always deliver points. Aguero still blanks vs Cech. Salah dont have penalty.

      65 from my 72. (Didn't captain Kun)

    7. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      74 from 90 for me. There will likely be a week where it goes wrong and they both falter, but the chances of City and Liverpool faltering are so much lower than with any other teams. Makes total sense to me to stock up on those two (maybe less so City due to rotation).

    8. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      76 of 96. Triple/Triple. Planning to move toward double/double in a few weeks. City due to risk of rotation. Pool due to shift in fixtures.

  12. Vamos Los Celeste
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez + Wilson > Aubameyang + Fraser for free ??

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Getting rid of Wilson is harsh, but for Auba I'd do it.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Auba missing sitters isn't helping his cause. I would do this though Sanchez/United hard to justify investment

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson topping the forward stats in most departments at home to Everton. That's insane

    3. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    4. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No. Why sell Wilson who’s on fire? And I’d rather have mkhi + funds over Aubame..

  13. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So stephens is dropping tonight, I think it is a mistake to get the most popular 4.5 mid because people are always going to transfer out and go 3-5-2.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Seems you were wrong.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        he is close though, but I will take it for now!

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's going to be a great one to pick up on wildcard later. For now I've gone with Westwood.

    3. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't worry about it. He's getting minutes which is all that matters... no need to waste transfers on that slot

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fair enough but that 0.1m may be crucial if you want to go 3-5-2 later.

        1. A La Pelle
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That's true

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This season probably.

    6. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Let's keep pushing King

    7. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Please keep going down KDB.

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years

        Sinking like a stone.

    8. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Did expect Ederson not to rise but Rich and Cook are surprising.

    9. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      price rises slower than expected, falls as brutal as ever.
      its not about building TV anymore, its about protecting it

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly I had 6 fallers in my team had to wildcard it got silly.

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wtf, no rise for Ederson or Cook... Richa also on. A blue box on FPL statistics... presume we can’t rely on it?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not if it's just crept in imo

      2. 420king
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's never 100% correct.

      3. A La Pelle
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You never can fully at start of the season... it takes many gameweeks to become very accurate

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It's as accurate as is going to get. They figure out the algorithm once the 1st player's price changes. WCs it cant predict though so that's where the errors come into play.

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

        They have been very good for the start of the season.
        Nearly definitely a WC effect that they have not / or can't factor in.

      5. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wildcards early on distort the numbers.

    11. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe we'll get Ederson, Cook and Richarlison tomorrow fingers crossed!
      Thanks TM

    12. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Well there goes the chance of any decent amount of double risers out the door 🙁

          well done. I got 55 thanks to a (c) Mane goal at the end. did well last week then average this GW

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Could Wilson, Kun, Mendy, Alonso, Richa all still double rise this week though?

    13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How has Mané managed 3 rises in 7 days, that’s insane

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Inmané not insané

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years

          Sanchez too

            • 12 Years

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years

        He is a brand I suppose that plays for Liverpool Meanwhile Deeney and Gray.....

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Being the top scoring player in the game helps too... autopick = casual's delight

    14. Spokey
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully Auba and Bellerin will fall before the next GW.

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

        Are you positive on arsenal’s defence?

  15. HellasLEAF

    4.5 keepers. So many decent choices. Hard to pick best of lot.

    1. Aɴᴛᴇᴄᴇᴅᴇɴᴛ
      • 7 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Seems a save magnet but always the worry Rico comes in.

    2. runny
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Begovic or Ryan for me... but best way to choose would be to line up the fixtures against whomever your other keeper is...

  16. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Glad King has dropped so I can stop thinking about another hit and enjoy his double figure haul against Everton

    1. RED PILL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep same as. King my first price fall. Couldn’t bring myself to sell for a hit, He could easily score in his next game.

    2. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

  17. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    How's this look on a WC?

    Hart Fab
    Mendy TAA Duffy Pereira AWB
    Salah Mané B.Silva Richarlison Neves
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    1.2 ITB

    Should I be trying to fit Auba in there?
    Thinking I'll just keep AWB as the only other 4.0 mil option plays for Wolves defence

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      would want some arsenal on a WC

      mendy looks essential as well

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Too much bench imo. Where's Chelsea?

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I am feeling a bit Pool and City heavy, but it's hard to look past them at the moment. The only was I can see fitting in Chelsea or Arsenal assets would be investing the 1.2 in the defense or selling someone from Pool or City

        1. 420king
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You can get Pedro for Neves if you downgrade someone like Duffy, but I don't see much point in owning Ings then.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can't afford to keep money itb on a early WC. Spread the money to get good subs rather as you have to consider CL rotation around the corner

    4. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’d rather ship pereira Neves Ings for fodder mkhi fodder. Saves benching headaches and gives arsenal exposure thru their easy fixtures.. I’d want Mkhi over any one of those 3 players every single gw for the foreseeable future..

    5. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks for the advice all

  18. learnedlizard
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Should I go for Pedro? (6.6 in the bank atm)

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years

      Looking great playing under Sarri, so yes

  19. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I expect Mane to suffer a short-term dip in form in the coming weeks. His increase in value is good news.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A dip in form based on the Mane morning blues when the weather gets bad????!!!

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician

    • 10 Years

    This is my team, would you hold the 1ft or make a -4 (Jota & King out for Mhiki and Ings) ?

    Foster
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso
    Mane - Salah (C) - Richarlidson - Jota
    King - Kun - Zaha

    Subs: W-Bissaka - Pielter - Stephens

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'd get rid off Jota only, what's your ITB?

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I have $0 in the bank. Either I get a -4 or I have to wait.

        1. 420king
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You've missed the price drops already so I'd wait one more round and ship them for free.
          Unless Jota drops again.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Monitor news on Jota to see if he won't get dropped

      No, Tekkers played so bad, recon Sørloth will start next week

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Crap as usual

  24. saifulnizam
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah; Jota; King to Mane; Hazard; Ings for a -4 hit?

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Do it.

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Mane at 9.5 (was) is handily outperforming Salah at 13.0 And rising like crazy.

        If Hazard sparks into form his team will be better off and more balanced.

        1. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Still no

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Still yes for me.

            Prefer Mane, Hazard and Ings vs Salah, Jota, King.

            The former will outscore the hit and shout outscore moving forward but to each their own.

    3. RamaJama

  27. SunnyH1986

    7 years, 7 months ago

    My current team is as follows:

    Ederson/Begovic
    Robbo/Mendy/AWB/Bertrand/Ogbonna
    Salah/Mane/Richarlison/Jota/Ralls
    Aguero/Mitrovic/King

    I have two free transfers and am so confused as to what I should do. I have considered the following:

    A) King,Jota,Bertrand out – Kamara,Pedro, Alonso in (-4)
    B) King and Jota Out – Deeney and Pedro in
    C) King and Jota out – Ings and Pedro in
    D) King and Jota out – Ings and Mikhi in
    E) Bertrand and Jota out – Alonso and Oriel Romeu (any other midfielder below 4.8) in

    Any other suggestions?

      Spurs have pretty tricky fixtures next 3 games, sure you don’t want to invest once their games ease up?

      Man U way, Watford (who look decent) away and Liverpool at home

    hi guys hope everyone had a great game week, just a quick question. with all the taken point hits from all the players how and when does this effect the OR? for example if my gamew eeks rank is 100k with no hit taken and people taken hits over the break between game weeks when does it show? havent seen any changes during that time please help.
    cheers
