    im on a WC, tearing my hair out over;

    A - Mane and Hazard
    B - Salah and Mhki

    what you going for long term?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A all day long!

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B. Salah>

    5. woolybahce

      the bees have spoken

    6. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Have to keep Salah for this week as Hazard won't play 90 yet , so I currently have Salah/Mane and Mhiki , can then decide GW 4 if you want to lose Salah for Hazard until GW 8 maybe and then swap back again.

    7. Dyballer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Long term A for sure. Salah should score the most out of any of them (maybe by 50+ pts), but I reckon Mane and Hazard will significantly outscore Mkhi who is very overrated atm

    8. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B not even close

    9. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If I had bigger balls, I'd have A plus Mkhi. But I'm going B plus Mané.

    10. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B .... easy!

    Hey lads, terrible start so far (97 points, 3.2m rank). Hit the WC button last weekend. Would love your thoughts and pointers!

    Hennessey - Speroni

    Mendy - Robertson - AWB - Bennett - Peltier

    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Mkhi - Guendouzi

    Auba - Aguero - Kamara

    0 ITB

    my thoughts:

    1. Salah or Hazard? Have Mane and can use the funds on Kamara --> Ings and Peltier --> PVA/Pereira

    2. Mkhi rotation concerns me. Who else at that price range? Maddison?

    Thank you!

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looks solid for now... see how salah and hazard both do cause easy switch if you need to... maybe try get an extra mil somewhere to upgrade guendouzi for kante or a Bournemouth player? Personally id have TAA over Robertson but yhh... personal choice i guess

      1. AndyCook
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Solid is a stretch. There aren’t even 11 good players

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Which combo gets you more points?

      Aubameyang, Guendouzi, Peltier, Hennessey
      Or
      Ings, Pedro, Alonso, Ederson

      1. noquarternt
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This kind of thing ^ dont need more than 2 big captaincy options really.

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

        Ta! guess auba would be a waste if i'm not captaining him

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          precisely 🙂

    3. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It looks like you haven't learned much.

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

        haha mate move along if you dont have anything constructive to say

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Which of Salah, Mane, Aubameyang and Aguero are you most happy to do without? And if you want all of them you need to do something like Mkhi to Fraser and Kamara to Ings

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

            auba i guess on current form. cheers!

            1. AndyCook
              7 years, 11 months ago

              The obvious places to free up money to get someone like Fraser as a fifth mid or Ings as a third striker is through Robertson to TAA or swapping Mkhi or Richarlison. I think Mkhi and Rich are both underpriced potentially though so I can see why you have them. There’s a lot of great options in that side but you want to be able to put out 11 players each weak you feel are at least as likely to get something as they are to get nothing. Good luck!

              1. AndyCook
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Week*

    4. AndyCook
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You have to play absolute fodder every week. If you want expensive defenders you simply cannot have 4 players over 9 million.

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

        true.

    5. Marstar
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Robbo -> TAA or another nailed 5.0 with similar returns with good fixtures
      Kamara -> Ings

      I see more points from that combo.

      Hold on Mkhitaryan for the run of good fixtures, if he gets rotated you can shift to a 6.5 and upgrade a 4.0Def.

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

        TAA nailed?

        1. Skalla
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yes think so for now , most of the rotation will start once the champs league come around.

    6. Torreslove
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      back to the drawing boards then. cheers!

      1. AndyCook
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How about:
        4.5, 4.5
        Alonso, Mendy, TAA, 4.5, Wan-Bissaka
        Salah, Mane, Mkhi, Richarlison
        Aguero

        And then fill the last three gaps with players like Pedro, Fraser, Ings or Wilson and a 4.5. If you did want Robertson over TAA you could just swap Alonso for Luiz or Van Aanholt or something

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Can have that 4.5 defender as a 4 if you need more money for the last gaps

      2. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hey mate- apologizes, should have used your sentence instead 🙂 Peace

  3. Fantastisk

    I'll never forget the time Jay was presenting on his show, claiming how he was really into beer, while drinking an Estrella.

    1. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      'the world's best beer drinker'

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I lost a lot of respect for him that day.

  4. Mr Dave
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Salah zaha Bennett ( wolves) TAA
    B) Kane mkhi Schlupp TAA
    C) Aubameyang mkhi robertson Schlupp

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

  5. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who are you most worried of not having? I'm on Alonso and Auba.

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso and Mkhi

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

      Mitrovic.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I fear no one.

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alons/Auba/Haz

    5. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just Auba for now, but sure Hazard / Kane / Sterling will make it tough over the next few weeks!

    6. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mane and Zaha

    7. Surfeit of Lampteys

    8. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Mane is terrifying me.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Pay close attention and he shouldn't 😉

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I hope you're right!

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Bought him this week

        Couldn’t take it anymore

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Can't get him into my team. Bricking it.

    9. barracuda
      • 9 Years

      AWB as he would be tearing it up this weekend...

    10. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso, always Alonso sigh hic!

    11. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aubameyang. But think most don't have him yet so should be alright.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Quanier

      2. FredrikH
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Took in Mhki as comfort. But still worried he'll explode.

    12. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Zaha

    13. jtreble

      Auba, Sterling and Kane.

      1. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        ... but Auba most of all.

    14. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

    15. AFBS_1991
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Kane and Alonso for nos.

      When I don't watch them I see only green arrows. Maybe I am just jinxed, they are good lads- just not for me.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Watched a bit of it. Too much advertising and pleas for likes, subscribers etc for my taste.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years

        That describes many you tubers,it’s how you grow a channel.

          You need to strike a happy medium, though. All the promo stuff is a bit OTT this season.

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 11 Years

      Isn't it just 2 hours of watching him pick his team? Or is that something else

            Here's an excerpt from tonight's episode: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KjB6r-HDDI0

        2. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Lol

  7. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Shame Auba isn't dropping..I can't believe they are people saying how much of money gain can be made when WCing..What a lot of bull...

    1. FredrikH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      International break is just around the £orner. You didn't activate it did you?

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      This season the gain is not that big but was able to avoid a 0.4 drop and still up to 101.4 atm with my WC , so think it was worth it , all about keeping your team value as the drops seem more than usual!

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        You'll be wishing you'd saved your WC in a few GW time. People prematurely blowing their stack left right and centre on here.

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Haven't been able to gain much value in years. Even in the international break. Double risers extremely rare now.

    4. RÏÉ BY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      it's more about the value losses.. it's gone mental

  8. pablospicks
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Pedro/Mkih or B) Kante/David Silva?

    A feels better short term, B longer?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A for now, but I'm gutted I haven't made room for DSilva.

      1. pablospicks
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        think he will become a very good pick, low ownership. So torn!

  9. OBAMA
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    how do we feel about iwobi at 5.5mil?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think he'll only play when Emery needs his work rate. Will probably be dropped when Lacazette starts so Aubameyang can drift wide.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Bench if Auba LW

    3. Dyballer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The guy’s Nollywood performances are better than on the pitch, so I wouldn’t bother with him. Had a decent game against Chelsea tbf, but there’s way too many other options at Arsenal atm

    4. FredrikH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd rather go Fraser or Stephens +1M.

    5. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Europa League matches don't count.

  10. Il Papera
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Really tempted to lose Mahrez to Mkhitaryan to avoid the drop. -4 to be taken on the chin perhaps, can see Pep continuing to use him sparingly until he learns their game. Thoughts?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez has had his rest and should start this weekend.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think both Sterling & Mahrez start @wol

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks yeah perhaps better to hold in case of a haul. Cheers

    3. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think the 4pts is worth more than a 0.1 drop atm and Pep could start Mahrez this week , so maybe do it for free instead next week.

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah on that note I’d missed the Mkhitaryan rise yesterday so guess that is sensible to hold now. Thanks

  11. nims076

    Not sure who to go with:

    Mane and Morata
    or
    Salah and Ings

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You can't go without Salah.

      1. nims076
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That’s my concern as well. Have Mane but having seen the games, Salah was in the better attacking positions and had more major chances

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Salah and Ings, solid captain option every week and Morata is a bit dog

  12. Louis Van Gaalstones

    G2G?

    Patrício
    Mendy, Robertson, PVA
    Salah, Richarlison, Mkhi, Bilva
    Arnie, Mitrovic, Agüero(C)

    Speroni, Daniels, Dedoncker, AWB

            “Bilva” is how Bernardo Silva is affectionately known around these parts... if it isn’t to your liking, move along pal

            1. Surfeit of Lampteys
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Nothing affectionate about it. I would suggest it's just convenient. But if you can spell out richarlison you can write B Silva. You wanna call him a name that isn't his, fine, but it's weird at best and I'll continue to object thanks.

      G2G but Salah (c) , my team so similar to that , starting 11 anyway Patricio PVA Arnie is Foster Alonso King

    3. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Salah (C) for me

  13. Goalasm

    On My Wildcard

    Hennessey - (Hamer)

    Alexander Arnold - Mendy - Alonso - (Holebas - Wan-Bissaka)

    Salah - Mane - Mkhitaryan - Richarlison - Pedro

    Aguero - Zaha - Kamara

    Is it too risky to go without Robertson?

    I can go :

    A. TAA to Robbo, Alonso to Van Aanholt

    B. TAA to Robbo, Pedro to Ings

    C. Leave it like this.

    What should I do guys? thanks in advance

    1. AYLD28

      How can you do Pedro to ings lol

      1. Goalasm
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm on my wildcard so i can go Pedro ->4.5 mid , kamara -> Ings

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years

    It's was right to prioritize Alonso over Mane with my fts?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No, but what's done's done, relax

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      They are both good picks atm , think Mane is the better pick for this gameweek but Alonso should be better for GW 5 -8 when Liverpool have some tough fixtures.

    3. DrunkPhilosophy

      Did the same thinking Mané can’t keep this up.. famous last words..

  15. Dyballer
    • 8 Years

    Who to start for GW3? Pereira or Ings? They both face each other

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pereira

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No ings, Leicester are without Vardy and rarely troubled Wolves in the last game. Very lucky goals imo and lucky not to concede.

        Prediction: 2-0 to saints - ings x2

        1. Dyballer
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers. Is it even worth having a 5m Leicester defender over a 4.5m DEF then?

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ings by a mile

    3. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ings all day

    4. FredrikH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Personally I'd go with Ings.

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I've started Ings

    Does anyone know what Salahs effective ownership was last gw?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Effective ownership is a nonsense, meaningless metric. Don't worry about it.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years

      Around 83% I think

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Plan to get rid of these 4 over the next 2 weeks and take a 4 point hit... Out: Diop, Firminho, Ozil, Lucas
    In: A) Pedro, Aubam, Brooks, Alonso
    B) Fraser, Mitro, Hazard, Alonso

    Help me please

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A and you know it.

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Can see Ozil doing well from now.

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Really? I have a feeling he would be the one to drop out for Lacazette at some point.

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Emery rates him big time

            • 7 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Why have you done this to me hahaha. Problem was who to get in not who to get rid of...

  18. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best 4.6m def or below (not a Palace or Bournemouth player)?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Zanka when back

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Could look at Watford for some decent options if you already have Palace.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah was thinking Holebas mate. His love for a yellow card puts me off.

      2. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That grav is incredible you saucy minx

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Holebas maybe?

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yep mate, good option. YC though.

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I recall hearing or reading something that suggested he was a lot better in that department last season... like his mins per YC had improved a lot

        2. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He’s got enough assist potential from crosses and corners to outscore his yellow card count anyhow. He’s not someone I’ve considered personally cos I’ve got Tomkins as my £4.5m DEF but I don’t think he’s a bad pick at all

          1. El Lobito 10
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks mate, considering

            1. 1569Tippins
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Who else are you considering?

  19. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Having used the 2 FTs for King+Cedric -> Kamara+Alonso, I'm considering doing Cairney->Kante for -4.
    Cairney is close to a price fall.
    I'd like to have some Chelsea and if Kante keeps playing closer to the attack there may be more points to come.
    What do you think?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Go for it

    2. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure for a -4. But Kante looks like a good pick this year.

    3. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kante for a hit

      Bloody heard it all now lol

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Won't do it for a -4 as Cairney will start so Kante will have to score 6+ pts just to go even if Cairney blanks , maybe for a free next week?

    5. RÏÉ BY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      lots of people will be taking hits this week so it's a good time to take one

      1. Skalla
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Depends what for and lots of ppl could be 1 mil , so there will still be 4 mil ppl who don't take a hit this week!

    6. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not worth it if Cairney is your 5th bench mid.

  20. Super John McGinn-
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Asked earlier but still unsure what to do and now seen Doherty also looks like he's dropping.
    I've got Peltier (Might not play) AWB (Banned) and Doherty (Maybe injured and got City)

    Is it worth taking a -4 hit to change Peltier or Doherty to a different option so I don't get a 0 pointer this GW got 0.4 ITB

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not in isolation. Only if you’re getting a big hitter.

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No. Chances of recovering the 4 points lost are low.

    3. RÏÉ BY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Stankovic could be a jammy option (could get a cleanie) or play safe with Bennet

      otherwise suck it up and get zero or even worse an OG from Doherty :/

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah maybe just take the zero pts atleast it is 2pts better than Doherty scored for us this week and AWB is back again next week.

    5. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all, will hold out and wait for AWB to be back next week and hope Peletier starts!

      1. Skalla
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Good luck maybe Doherty decides to score vs City to make up for last week!

  21. RÏÉ BY
    • 15 Years

    who to play?
    1) Ings
    2) Fraser

    i also have Bilva so i might be pulling my hair out for nothing and he gets rested 😉

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years

      Ings

        Play them both and bench BSilva. That’s only if you have Kun and Mendy though.

  22. Torreslove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A. robbo + mkhi

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It’s currently A. I’m not confident though.

      See below

    2. RÏÉ BY

    Man City midfield is a head ache.

    Surely, Sterling, sane, dilva, mahrez, dinho are the nailed 5 with KDB missing.

    I am happy to get anyone except Sterling if I thought they would play.

    WC. Ederson, Pogba for Kepa, ???

    2. Netley Lucas

      Well 3 of those didn't start last week so how can they be nailed?

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah surely they're nailed.

      Except last week 3/5 didn't start...

  24. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else given King another week? Don’t think he is worth ditching for a hit.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Correct

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yep.

      Don't sell for a hit.

    3. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah will keep him now if you already took the price drop.

    4. RÏÉ BY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not for a hit

    5. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I might have ditched for a hit but prioritized getting Mkhi and Alonso in for a hit.. so he has to wait another week.. took the hit and it’s annoying

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • 12 Years

    I think you will all be very disappointed with Ings tbh

    1. Ha.

      Incorrect

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Because you don't own him?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          This is not logical.

          Why would I be disappointed with a a player I do not own?

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            It just you said "incorrect" so that must mean you don't own, otherwise you will be disappointed

            1. Ha.
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              If anything it would mean I do own him. Why would I won him unless I expected him to deliver? To not be disappointed, I must own him?

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years

      I agree

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’m on the fence. I think he could be a real bargain but his early impressive stats remind me of Joselu’s last season and that worked out atrociously!!

      Got a feeling Ings will perform well for his price

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’m not fully convinced either, But ready to be proven wrong should he live up to the hype. Easy downgrade at least

    5. RÏÉ BY
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      leicester have no focus up front and a bit wooly at the back

    6. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think his price is very tempting, watching him closely this week as thinking him or Jiminez for King next week.

    7. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Couldnt care less if Saints lose 4-1 every week. As long as Ings gets the one. Wouldn't invest in anyone else from Saints tough.

    8. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He will be good if he stays fit. But this is like asking Sturridge to stay fit

    9. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Jimenez looks good for the same price. Focal point of their team. My concern with Ings is he’s fragile

  26. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Ok I want kelechi, who would u ditch out of his lot for him.
    Ederson
    Mendy - Alonso - pereira - Trippier
    Mkhi - Pedro - salah - Richarlison - mane
    Kun
    Leaning towards mkhi

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy is only out for 2 PL games - one of which is against Pool.
      Why would you want Iheanacho?

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years

        He will brace this weekend, it’s only temporary

          • 13 Years

          Hah okay, you seem to have made your mind up. How much do you need?

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            If I do mkhi our can have kelechi and Fraser. Looks better then just mkhi, Fraser on the bench but I can live with that or drop kelechi for him easy enuf

            1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
              • 9 Years

            2. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Downgrade Tripper to a 4.5 rather than a mid (Especially if your 5th is AWB). Or even Ederson -> Hennessey or other 4.5

    2. Ha.

      Do nothing

    3. Skalla

      Go for it if you want to take the risk but not for Mhiki he could also get a brace this weekend , who is your othet two strikers atm +

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years

        Kamara and success plying 451

        1. Skalla
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Would then rather lose Trippier for a couple weeks if you have 2 FT left , won't do it for a hit!

      wow lot of love for B, why?

        Both Kante and Zaha are 100% nailed with great fixtures. Even though I’m not fully convinced Kante will get loads of returns

          • 16 Years

          Ings fixtures are also great because he can rotate with AWB on his off days

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            True. You just asked.
            Not convinced neither of Pedro nor Ings nailed

      B??? A easily imo, Zaha is so over rated on here are u kidding me

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

        And Kante, just wow

      A for me ... don’t trust Kante’s output at all. Ings looks a bigger threat than Zaha already, and Pedro is a decent punt as he’ll get returns if he plays. Definitely been better than Willian lately so should be his place to lose for now.

    captain: salah or kun?

    thanks for feedback.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Slayah

    2. Licious Lizard

      Going with Salah myself, as I Think he is the better option looking at H/a, minutes, stats, involvement, opponent etc. etc. etc.
      In the end, no-one knows, as bot are very capable of a massive haul. Go with you gut on this one and you won’t be AS disappointed if you get the wrong one

      Salah had 8 and 9 first 2 GWs, first doubt digit haul of the season incoming.

        So safe to assume he will keep going up by one every week now? Triple captain Salah GW 38!

    Everything in order? G2G?

    Foster
    Mendy, Alonso, Robbo
    Salah(C), Richa, Bilva, Mkhi
    Kun, King, Arnie

    Evening!

    Worth doing Ralls to Fraser?
    Would leave me with this front 8:

    Salah, Mane, Bilva, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Zaha, King

    Who would I bench?

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Well if u get him then bench king don’t want double Bournemouth

    2. Dyballer

      No coz you can’t play with 5 MID and 3 FWDs. Fraser is the weakest of them all despite good form. And you already have King as Bournemouth cover. Fraser is good, but not if you keep King

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      no just bench ralls
