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.

    2.3 ITB for this WC team...not sure about Mane over Salah. Where to spend?

    Ederson - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Robbo - 4.0 - 4.0
    Mane - Mkhi - Pedro - Richarlison - 4.5
    Aguero - Auba - 4.5

    Thanks.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years

      Mitrovic/wilson/perreira

      1. squ1rrel
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Oops I meant I have ings instead of the 4.5

    2. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Get a playing defender

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      wow no salah

    4. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I would upgrad defender, PVA or Tripi. And play 4-4-2

    5. The Finnisher
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      How much have you spent on Mane? Could you afford Ederson/Mane > Salah/4.5

      1. squ1rrel
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yes I can do that...but 3.3 is a lot of extra.

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Adam Smith any good at Bournemouth?

  3. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Really dont know where to use my 2FT

    Patricio Hamer
    Mendy Robbo PvA (AWB Peltier)
    Salah Mane B.Silva Richa (Stephen)
    Aguero Zaha Tosun

    Money itb 0

    Pls help
    Many thanks to tcheco and hellasleaf helping in last page

    Considering tosun and stephen to kamara and mkhi, but is that worth 2FT? Only get 1 player for doing that 2 transfers, seem waste a transfer

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Or is that tosun+stephen to ings+fraser much better than kamara + mkhi?
      Lack of arsenal is what i think...

    2. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I wouldn't use 2 FTs on this team, but it's difficult to do anything with just 1.
      Maybe Patricio?

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I consider that too. Rui to Etheridge?

        1. 420king
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Cardiff's fixtures are dreadful. It could mean a lot of saves but I'm not sure.

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Good team. I would do Bilva to Mikhi

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Thats what i thought too
        But With that secure spot in city team. Will you really want to lose bilva?

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Or should i just do stephens to westwood to avoid drop?

  4. learnedlizard
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Hamer
    Mendy
    TAA
    Stankovic
    Hazard
    Richardlison
    Salah
    Mane
    mikhi
    Wilson
    Kun

    Subs: McCarthy, Kamara , AWB, peltier
    Good to go?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm not sure any of your 4.0 defenders starts next round.

  5. A La Pelle
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    As a Salah/Aguero/Auba owner, there's really no easy way to fit Mané in my team... are there many other people going without him and are you concerned?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      sell Salah

    2. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      agree not yet an auba owner but can see a very unbalanced team going with all of them.guess you could pick all the good preforming cheapies and make this work but with a high odds against you looking longterm imo.

      1. A La Pelle
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Good point. Right now I'm loving the 6.5-7.0 enablers they are doing great so far... will have to reassess in the long term though I guess

    3. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Basically you can have Auba or Mane +cash itb ....I’d go for the guy who rises every week and is great form.

      Hint...it’s not Auba;)

    4. Gorgles
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I have all four and its worked out well so far

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Well except for the Auba part right?

  6. Float
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Got 2FTs, thinking of losing Eriksen and Jota

    A) Mané + Fraser
    or
    B) Mkhitaryan + Dilva

    my pool and city coverage is only Salah, Robbo, Ederson and Bilva right now

    1. Float
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      or could do Mané + Mkhitaryan + Ings (currently Wood) for a hit, but I'm not too keen on taking hits just yet, only on 127 points

    2. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A without a moment's hesitation

  7. No Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I still have Mahrez and keeping him for two more weeks, don’t want to take him out for a hit. But which city mid you would consider instead of him? Is Gundogan worth a punt at 5.5?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      None at the moment.

      1. A La Pelle
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Agreed

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Bernando Silva still great pick

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      DSilva imo

  8. Francescoli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Will Robbo rise in price this week?

    I'm hoping he doesn't doesn't go up in price this week. Looking to do VVD -> Robbo for next gameweek.

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Very likely he rises.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He will almost certainly rise at 81% already

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He will, imo

  9. squ1rrel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Is Salah really worth the 3.3 over Mane on a WC?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Unless he plays like today he sure is.

    2. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      yes he is worth every penny imo 🙂
      but a gameweek 3 WC is not worth just for the sake of chasing points, keep a FT and do a mini WC for -4 instead
      you just have to keep patient for a bit dont think your team is that bad good luck

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      see below. I think the question is do you have both or not.
      Salah + Zaha + 1.5
      Hazard + Auba

      Captaincy is the thing that is bugging me.

    4. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      gotta have both surely on a wc

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        This all comes down to how you spend the difference in funds.

        A strong case can be made for going with only Mane and take the funds vs both.

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          indeed, it's just for me, city mids are not nailed currently, so would like the double pool that seem to be nailed, enough funds to still be strong elsewhere...when city mids become obvious or if haz looks essential then I will re-examine the situation but atm there's good value in mid-priced mids and attacking defenders, no obvious signs of need for likes of kane/auba etc

  10. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Wildcard team: To Mo or not to Mo?

    HENNESEY (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Bellerin TRENT (awb)
    HAZARD Mane Mkhi Richi (westwood)
    Aguero AUBA (Kamara)

    EDERSON (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Bellerin (awb, bennett)
    SALAH Mane Mkhi Richi (westwood)
    Aguero ZAHA WILSON

    or put another way
    NoMo) Hennessey, Hazard, Auba, Trent
    Mo) Ederson, Salah, Zaha, Wilson

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I like with much more.

  11. SunnyH1986
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days 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?

  12. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    DDG or Hamer this week?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      If you're going to play the fixtures with the most expensive keeper in the game, you might as well sell for rotating 4.5

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Exactly what I keep telling new people

    2. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Start Hamer.

    3. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      no need rotation for the most expensive player in his position

    4. tvz32
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      DDG....he is playing behind a bus

    5. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Hamer may lose his place

  13. SAY MY NAME
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    interested to get people's views on Pedro? worth downgrading PVA to get Pedro over Fraser?

    also what are people's thoughts on Arnie going forward, tough fixtures, but of the forwards and even most mids in that price range I feel he has good chance of the odd double digit haul regardless of fixtures (have rich and fraser, planning on getting mikhi too)

    1. Messsiaah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No. Pva great fixtures. I shipped him out though. For Alonso

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        yeah that was my thoughts, think pva + fraser scores more than cheapie + pedro, plus attacking full backs really floating my boat at the moment

  14. Messsiaah
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Why Mané isn’t a better captain choice than Salah?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Pick who ever you want for your captain. It's your team.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He was on 3pts until extra time?

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Firm, Mane and Salah were all around the box.

        Almost a crap shoot who gets big haul, single goal or assist or comes up empty in any given match.

  15. Whats the Mata?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Y'all think Alonso + Ings + Mkhi outscores Bailly + Moura + King + 4points?

    1. Messsiaah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      100%

    2. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      absolutely

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Definitely

    4. PvA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      60/40

    6. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      yes

  16. RIDZ
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Still asking the same question

    a) Pereyra or Deeney?
    b) Mustafi or Bellerin?

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Pereyra and Hector

      1. RIDZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        thanks

  17. PvA
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    A) Mane + poor squad depth (1 playable sub)

    B) Mkhi + good squad depth

    1. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

    2. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A. Not convinced by Arsenal

      1. PvA
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Look at the fixtures...

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Yeah not convinced next 3 are that good

          1. PvA
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Hahhahahahah

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 18 days ago

              Seriously. West Ham London derby. Cardiff bus parking got them promoted and Newcastle tough away game

              1. PvA
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 18 days ago

    2. PvA
      • 10 Years

      Damn wasn't even that bad of a score?

    3. Zilla

      When the fun stops you stop I guess?

        True, must have been the red card autosub.

    4. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years

      lol probably angry girlfriend fed up with fpl obsession and putting a stop to it lol

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He deleted his team after two weeks? And hasn’t played sinced 2016? Am I missing something?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Nope, 3rd and took a big break.

    6. waldo666
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Any chance it was a second team and got deleted by FPL?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Highly doubtful. Team name was fine too.

    7. Scratch
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Made transfers this week, decent score... it doesn't make sense. Unless he somehow got banned ?

  18. SuperDan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pick one:
    A) Arnautovic
    B) Zaha

    1. korbendallas82
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Zaha for now.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      not keen on zaha, but not seeing too much love on here for arnie, he seems to have pens and is capable of braces even against top teams.....could also blank a lot, but while he's fit and playing as striker think i'll stick with him, plus I have wan b and pva so triple palace is too much

      1. korbendallas82
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Both are nice pics.

  19. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    After a disappointing GWK 2, I'm on 161 points overall.

    Only 40 points away from 2k rank though. Need to remind myself that is such a small gap and it's only two weeks in.

    1. Costa Nostra

      I’m with you...having a mare to start..couple bad draft choices to start but now it feels sorted. Funny thing is that I’m way ahead of my usual pace and at this pace I’ll shatter my all time best season. So not sure how to feel really when so many are putting up over 100 each week so far.

      Solid start, just think you are 3 points ahead of current HoF #1 Jay.
      There will be a new one at the next update.

    Got two FTs and need to sacrifice either Bilva or Eriksen with Firmino in order to get Auba. Thinking of taking Eriksen out. Which is the best move?

    A) Eriksen+Firmino> Auba+ Richarlison
    B) Eriksen+Firmino> Auba+ Pedro
    C) Eriksen+ Firmino> Auba+ upto 8.9 mid (please sugest)

      Depends on who you’ll lose

    is it just me who thinks there’s no point chasing price rises with moves like King to Wilson?

      2. Darsh
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        statistically Wilson has been superior so far, but if you think Wilson will do well in the coming weeks, then I don’t see why King also can’t

          Only really works if King is assisting.

      Not anymore, no.

        whys that?

        1. 420king
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Since they've already fallen/risen 😉

          In all seriousness though, only chase the price rises of the players you really want (if it means being priced out).

  23. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years

    Would you wc this team? Already taken a hit and now with the wan biss red card defence looks in shambles.

    Ddg
    Alonso vvd Boly
    Salah mane Rich mili
    Kun arnie king

    Boruc Stephens peltier wan biss

    1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Huh? They is like the template team, def no WC.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Took a hit to get in Alonso and mane this gw. Defence is what’s worrying me. King and mili also could go

    2. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Alonso, Salah, Mane, Kun and you want to WC?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        But the defence?

        1. RIDZ
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          no worry, at least Boly played full time both games. All you need is player who 100% plays and good feeling for captain.

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      its only peltier not playing, you should get 11 out during wanb's ban

    4. BrutalLogiC
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No

  24. RIDZ
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Which one better for 2 FT:

    a) Dunk+Zaha for Alonso+Kamara (bench Kamara)
    b) Dunk+King for Bellerin+4.5/5.0 forward (bench forward)

    Not sure I am more afraid of losing Zaha or go without Alonso. I still have heavy defenders Robbo+Mendy (Shaw my third def), but Alonso with his fixtures is very tempting.

  25. Neves say Neves
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Would this be good business?

    Jota + Bilva + King > Richarlison + Mkhi + Ings -4 +1.1 ITB

    Have Kun, Mendy and no Everton or arsenal

    Thanks

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Could get Pedro or Maddison as well

    2. Bggz

      that actually looks ok. i like keeping some cash back for next week.

    Salah less teams looking much more balanced & flexible ,thinking of doing it myself when I play my WC ??
    Let's vote
    A) always keep Salah
    B) thinking the same mate!

    1. PvA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

      Believe me, i’m on WC and was adamant i’d drop Salah to make a much more balance team, but truth is you can still make one with him in it by creating a stellar defence and mid line and still have one premium striker which is what i’ve done now.
      Plus, one hat trick from a salah captain and you’ve not got him, it’s either bye bye season or 10GW’s to pull it back.

    4. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      After two GW's, too early to say. I'm keeping. After next week a more clear picture. More worried about Firmino as Keita seems to mess up the interplay with Firmino last year.

    5. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      its easier to transfer him out than in. give him till the southampton game then see.

      he wont get 300 points again though last season was an anomaly.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        This

    6. Srv210
      • 9 Years

      Didn't expect such great response .

      Will WC after the international break(if team is in shambles) so just toying with ideas

      Thanks anyway guys

    Are there people that give bad advice on purpose?

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You should follow all advice on here to the letter.

        I would have deleted my account

    2. Albrightondknight

      No but I give what I think is good advice but is actually bad.

        love it

  28. The White Pele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    DONE!
    Sanchez & Siggy & King > Hazard & Dilva & Ings (-8)
    better to WC or keep with -8?

    1. PvA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      WC and take Haz back out?

      1. The White Pele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        is that related to your post above?

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      im not sure about Dilvas game time.

  29. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    No Salah rather than Mo Salah WC - what ye think?

    Ryan

    Alonso Mendy TAA

    Hazard Mane Mkhi Rich Fraser

    Kun Auba

    Hart Wan-B Bennett Kamara

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Expect a poor GW3.

    2. FC Hakkebøf

      Too early to wildcard

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        All about being priced out and pretty good time to WC imo if wanting to make 5 or more changes to squad.

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        It's done. Just trying to gain team value with a temp team and playing around with the final team.
        Was going to C Auba this week even if I had Salah.
        Salah is not out for sure yet still tinkering.

        But all of Alonso Mendy Salah Mane Auba and Kun leaves junk for the other spots. Something has got to give.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Sorry Hart is Hamer otherwise I can't afford this.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I do like it, but it seems a lot of sacrifice just for Auba especially with Hazard who we don’t know is gonna hit the ground running once starting. However, i DO like it, the appeal of this team and being Salah-less is about the same overall

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Exactly I like it a lot but then I will wake up screaming cause Salah is not in there 🙂

    5. RIDZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Not sure with Hazard, you better get City mid

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        City mids too unpredictable, total minefield as to who will start, it’s a stress you can do without.

        1. RIDZ
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          is it a certainty to go with Hazard who only played 43 mins in 2 games?

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        City mids one of the reason I went WC to get rid of Mahrez and yes Bilva too. Done with the rotation.
        Mendy and Kun the way to go I might even try to fit Ederson in somehow.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Absolutely agree, it can cause a big drop in points if it happens enough and faith is kept with city mids, when we all know rotation is inevitable, which could even involve Kun, but star player of the team and all, he’s nailed.
          Mendy, Kun, and Ederson is what i have and certainly the way to go.

        2. RIDZ
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          don't get Ederson if you have Mendy, because you will have maximum City player and it's gonna be hard to get City mid. I still have Bilva just because I don't wanna let City scores many goals with only Aguero in my team (I assume Mendy won't score).

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            I get what your and saying but it a minefield unless you can have a very good bench too.
            I had Bilva from the start but even with him I have no confidence he does not get dropped. I mean none of Sterling Sane or Mahrez started and that's with KDB out.

            I might try a Hazard to Bilva and bulk up my bench. Thanks.
            At that kinda cost it might be worth a punt but not a Sterling or a Mahrez. Even then the temptation is to start them is there with a 20 minute cameo and may nothing.

          2. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Nothing wrong with an Ederson and Mendy double up. Nothing at all. If a City mid appears nailed, then yeah, but with CL round the corner, it’s a simple no. Aguero is pen taker and involved in everything, the mids is literally a lottery.

    6. Chicken Caesar Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I like your thinking. Would reconsider having both Alonso and Hazard and both Mkhitaryan and Auba...reckon Alonso and Mkhi is good coverage of those attacks. Hazard and Aubameyang not essentials atm

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Suggestions for replacements?
        Both those teams got good fixtures ahead

        1. Chicken Caesar Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Perhaps Salah Zaha and Ederson? Means you won't be screaming about not having Salah, Palace have good fixtures and you've got triple City
