      Huge benching headache every week...

  2. Floyd69

    Play Pickford (at Bournemouth - likely with Coleman, Zouma, Keane and Digne in front) or Foster (home to Palace but against Zaha et al)? Thinking might just toss a coin

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Pickford. I think both have about the same chances of a CS, so I'd go for the one who imo will have more saves.

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Pickford

  3. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Wan Bissaka captain this week?

    1. Red Wasabi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      He was my Triple Captain last week. 🙂

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years

        Stroke of a genius

  4. Differential C (Mark)

    Play-
    A)Kepa (vs NEW A)
    B)Hamer (vs CAR H)

    cheers

    1. Red Wasabi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Hamer

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Kepa because Cardiff and Huddersfield are rubbish so won't trust any of their players.

    3. Spurred_On
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A

    4. Ben the Mee
      8 years, 3 days ago

      After watching Newcastle last week, I'd def go A

    5. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      Cheers all!

    6. arndff_

      5.5 vs 4.0

      No need of asking.

    7. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      If you have 5.5 and 4.0 surely you want put 5.5 and forget? So, Kepa

  5. Red Wasabi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Any news on Luke Shaw?

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

      Injured

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mourinho is pissed that he's getting attacking returns off late, so will be benched.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        😆 😆

    3. Francescoli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      He could be good to play. Latest I have seen is this:

    4. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mourinho need him for Spurs game. so, yeah I guess he will play

  6. Spurred_On
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Two quick questions:

    Who to start?
    A) D Luiz (new)
    B) Bavies (mun)

    Who to captain?
    1) Mané (BRI)
    2) Aguero (wol)

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

      A 2

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      b1

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Start Luiz

      Captain Mane if you want to play it safe. Kun, if you want to go maverick.

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Mane playing safe and Kun maverick. Ah to be so young and naive

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          That's because people here think that Kun is a rotation risk + he won't do well because it's an away game.

          I'm headstrong with my thinking and I feel Kun (c) is the way to go this week.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years

      a1

    5. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      A1

    6. Spurred_On
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Thanks guys, will go A1

    7. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Why not start all? I guess you have strong squad?

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Opps, second options about captaincy. Mane for me

  7. GunSlinger07
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Locked and Ready

    De Gea
    Mendy Schlupp Robertson
    Mane Richarlison Pedro Salah
    Mitrovic Aguero Arnautovic

    Good luck everyone.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      What does your bench look like?

      1. GunSlinger07
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Crap lol

        Wan Bissaka, Stephens & Bennent

        1. GunSlinger07
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          And Hamer lol

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Worldie!

          Great starting XI tho, you might have to sort out your bench in a week or 2 in case of a no-show. Unless you're gonna WC soon.

          1. GunSlinger07
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Maybe.....never really invested in my bench 2bh and Wan Bisaka is a gift lol. From my 11 Schlupp and Pedro are my worries, everyone else should be fine i reckon.

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 days ago

              Aguero will probably see some rotation too .... you could get a bad day with Schlupp, Pedro & Kun benched 🙁

              Hopefully not though

  8. robotech
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hi guys!
    Been having this question in my head for the past week.

    Alonso vs mkhitaryan vs lacazette

    Who should i prioritise?
    Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Laca isn’t nailed on it seems.
      Think it’s between Alonso and Mkhi.
      Depends on who you’re going to ditch.

    2. GunSlinger07
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Alonso

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Laca not nailed.

      Mkhitaryan might be rotated.

      Alonso plays like a winger + picks up clean sheet points.

      Higher points ceiling and cheaper than the other two.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Think Emery likes Mkhi, doesn’t he?

        I bought Mkhi and Alonso this GW.
        Both teams with some good fixtures.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Rambo, Laca, Iwobi vying for 3 spots behind Auba.

          A couple of poor performances (which he is very capable of) and he might find himself on the bench.

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

      mikhi

    5. Gruu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Alonso for this week. Mkhi next week

  9. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    What do you guys think of following moves for -4pts next week. Aware of risk factor but incoming players are quality atleast...

    Salah to hazard
    Mane to david silva
    King to kun

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      What’s your current team?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Ryan, Etheridge
        Walker, Van Dijk, Kabasele, Hoedt, Wan Bissaka
        Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser, Kante
        Aubameyang, Tosun, King

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Nah... too much of a risk.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Wont captain Salah for around 5 weeks and I have some doubts over Mane's output in coming weeks. Lets see, Thanks

    2. GunSlinger07
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I can understand maybe sacrificing one pool player but two is madness

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Mane is pretty much locked to go out. Salah was also going out for Sterling but last week benching has installed some doubts. Considering different alternatives, might end up keeping Salah though...

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Mane, King to:
          a) Hazard, 5.6
          b) 4.9, Kun

          If I calculated it right...

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Have 1.4 in bank, so Hazard with Zaha is possible. B option will make midfield week, so probably not a good idea

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Mane is the man in form. Why would you kick him out?

          1. arndff_
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Mane is the man with biggest percentage of luck.

            🙂

    3. Net Gains
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Awful moves. Awful.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years

        • 14 Years

        Ah, no!

        We have at least 22pts difference — I went with Eriksen instead of Mane.

        1. Gruu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          LOL. all hail the template 🙂

            155(-4) -> 151 for me so far...

            Didn't captain Aguero either.

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder

      nah, team looks good.

    3. pjanns
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      This is my team aswell. Only difference. I went with Zaha + TAA instead of Robbo and Ings. 🙂

      I think we are good! Bench will sort it self next week when AWB is back.

  12. My Name Is Pepu

    Captain Arshavin away at Anfield or Drogba at home to Everton?

    Have a feeling Arshavin will score 4 against Liverpool.

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

      surely has to be drogba

      1. FPLtfs

        Lampard gets one more point pr goal.

    Ederson / 4.0 (442)
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Shaw/Pereira WB
    Mane Walcott Fraser Hazard / 4.5
    Aguero Auba / 4.5

    Can afford this if one of them drops tonight.

  17. BeardedOldMan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Wait, wait, wait, goddamnit wait!

    Every year the same old pattern of knee jerk transfers. This week I had miraculously saved a transfer (so rare), and decided to early transfer king (to avoid a 0.1 drop) and Boly for Robertson and Kamara (couldn’t afford Mitrovic)... holding onto Lacazette for another week. Days later emery says he won’t start laca - I could have kept king instead and got Mitrovic. Dang. I may be a bearded old man, but I’m not patient!

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I kept a free transfer and got Hazard. But I'm not happy about it, he probably won't start and there will be a late flurry from spanish giants trying to sign him. Should've just bought mane for this week

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

      It’s hard to keep the finger off the transfer trigger especially at this stage of the season when the price changes happen so quick

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      It's hard when so many non casual picks are firing from the off. Most have had a great start on here so makes sense to make some moves.

  18. bdwhite91
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Does anyone here have a good memory of their triple captain production? I'm considering using it in a single gw because in my memory, DGWs seem to disappoint quite often whether it be due to rotation or just lack of production. Cheers

      Last year,double GW's were a fail yes. But the season before,many BB and TC squads produced 180 odd points in GW 37. Sanchez got 25,Kane got 27 points and they were the obvious TC choices.

        If Liverpool had beaten WBA in the cup last year everyone would've TC'd him v Bou and...Watford...

    2. Bolivian Seaman

      8 years, 3 days ago

      I triple captained Payet and it went very well during a double gameweek. Sanchez as well, he got something like 30 points. Last year was the first double gw fail for me and most people. I'd still use it for dgws

    3. MAVER!CK
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Gave it to Kane last season, I think it in some odd dgw not the usual 'after 30' ones..He gave me 1+2, so mere 9 points. It wasn't a hit in other DGWs either if I remember correctly

    4. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Sanchez & Aguero got 25 points each in 15/16.

      Sanchez & Kane got 25+ points each in 16/17.

      It’s really only been a disappointment last year.

      Awesome thanks for your input guys! I think last year I put it on Aguero vs Newcastle on it was a mega fail! Salah is tempting this week, and then Aguero again vs Newcastle is tempting, but I guess I will go with the herd as I usually do with this.

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

        Double GWs can be great I think it just feels worse when they fail.
        Being used to 180+ with chips in dgws and then barely scraping 100 was horrible. But only one fail year maybe still the way to go.

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

      I remember when my flatmate used it on Aguero when he scored 5 against Newcastle. No good memories of myself though, and I usually go for double gameweeks so you might be onto something

    8. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      With rotation being more frequent, especially in the top teams, I think we could see a increasing number of managers taking their chances in a sgw.

      1. bdwhite91
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        I am so tempted. Theres definitely more certainty right now before multiple cups. City and Liverpool havent shocked anyone with their goal scoring capability.

    9. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Always double gameweek if you can pick a nailed big boy. Who will score more?

      Kane in 90 mins or Kane in 180 mins?

  19. Slam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Straight shoot, which one to start this GW?

    A) Foster(CRY)
    B) Hamer(CDF)

    An explanation would be great but is not necessary

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

      Hard call probably Foster. Think Hud probably concede even at home to CAR

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      B. I think Palace are a better attacking side so more likely to score than Cardiff. Just my opinion though

      1. subhojit123

        B

    So I have Salah and Auba WC boils down to this choice is Mane worth it

    In A Bennett, Stephens or even Kamara may play occasionally when Wan-B not available

    A. Mane Wan-B Hennessey
    B. Mkhi Bellerin Ederson
    Thanks for replies really stuck on this. Maybe risk A for a few weeks and revert to B then?

    1. Bggz

      B by miles

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      Bellerin has been very bad defensively in the first two games. Won't be surprised to see Lichtsteiner get a game there.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        What 5.5 would you take on a WC over him.
        Got Alonso Mendy in addition to those mentioned above.

    3. bigbudgie
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      B but Ederson to 4.5 and Bellerin to Alonso? Or at least a Mendy/Robertson?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        To be honest I probably rather Nacho and he has no competition with Kola out for now?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Leaving Ederson out might be good if any City mid starts nailing a place. I had Bilva from start but no confident even he stay in the starting 11 without rotation for too long.

    Wild Card Criteria:
    Look approx 5 weeks ahead and not just the next match.
    Wild Card early to get price rise/drop benefits.
    Choose fixture proof players as the backbone of your side.
    Ensure there are easy routes to players you might need later.
    Can anyone add to this?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I forgot the temp team for prices again this WC. If I do it again I am literally punching myself in the face.

          If you are dumb. It's having done it before that is the annoying part. Should know better just get caught up on the team you like.
          Screenshot is the way to go.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 2 days ago

            A lot do it because you start analysing your side when seeing other teams and realise you can get more out of a WC than first thought.
            I have avoided it by pre-determining when I will use it. Pretty simple this year due to world cup return rotations and the mass of easy fixtures from GW3.
            Not the end of the world though. Good luck going forward mate.

    2. MAVER!CK
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Okay I have a question..On wildcard, what do people mean when they say build team value first by temp team and then Build a team you want on last day..You don't gain anything if a player's price rises just once before you transfer him out right? And players who do rise twice, will most probably

      1. MAVER!CK
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        be the once that are in demand or a must haves..in this case Mendy, Mane, Aguero, Richa. So how exactly do you build a team value?

      2. KING KOUNDER
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        You answered it yourself mate.
        You make money only if someone you don't need rises 0.2.

      3. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Press the button early and build a team with prospective risers and move out potential drops. At the end of the week your TV will rise and then do surgery to what you want. I think drops are most important to keep an eye on.
        If you press the button late, you will be paying premium for players and may lose money in the old side who drop in price.

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

      Oh most important point don't forget to change the temp team back to the actual team before deadline 🙂

  25. Merlinho
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I’m stuck with Ramsey in my draft and considering what to do - I’m top and most good players gone so need to think outside the box. Worth a punt swapping for Iwobi do you think? Obviously on draft don’t need to worry about wasting transfers so the risk being stuck with a worse option than I had before.

    Also stuck with Lacazette but no idea what do with him, options very limited and Ings will go early so might just gamble on him getting some productive involvement.

  26. Carlton_Goal
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    What do people think about Arnie at the moment? As a West Ham Fan I like having him in my team but I may be a bit biased. Do people think Mitrovic/Zaha are better options or do all of them have similar potential?

    1. jack149331
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      not worth transferring him out just yet I think give him more time to get back to his pre season form

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      3 decent fixtures for him. Will sell him after GW5 if needed. He’s on pens too so probably worth keeping for now.

      1. jack149331
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        I have him and gonna do the same as karan

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

      In the don't sell, don't buy category for me.

      Zaha is certainly a better pick (for now)...Mitrovic, much of a muchness.

      Arnie has Arsenal this week...that defence ain't amazing, good chance he scores this week IMO

    4. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Cheers guys, would you take a punt on him this week? I need to pick 2 of Fraser, Ings and Arnie

    5. KING KOUNDER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Would swap if you have free transfer, else hold IMO.

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Want to swap out Sanchez.
    Any update on his involvement this week?

    If not, I would probably swap him for Richy.
    Will be for a hit, but worth since I wouldn't have anyone coming from my bench.
    Peltier AWB and Chalobah on my bench.

      Id wait as long as possible for news, don’t think we have any yet. If he’s fit he’s not worth the hit, if he’s not then free reigns on whoever you’d like.

    Having a bit of fun rating teams with marks out of 10.
    Firstly it is only my opinion.
    Secondly it is not for the next gameweek but over a period.
    My mind on rating, like everyone, changes all the time.
    Any conclusion I can gather, is the people on this site have very similar ratings.

      No fault anywhere, have drafted a similar team. Weak bench could burn, which is difficult to solve when other pressing issues undoubtedly arrive. I do like it, especially the D Silva pick.
