    2 FTs and 0 ITB and no idea what to do:

    Foster Fabianksi
    Mendy Robertson PVA AWB Peltier
    Bilva Salah Mane Richarlison Stephens
    Aguero Arnie King

    Thoughts appreciated!

    1. AuFeld
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Arnie to Zaha. King to Wilson.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Nice. Stephens might be dropping so maybe switch so as not to lose 0.1. New Fulham 4.5 mid maybe?

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Annoying, just saw this. Looks like I'm keeping him for a long while!

    3. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I have basically same team... maybe foster to Hamer and Stephens to 5.0 like Kante?

  2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hazard in my midfield looks awesome. Everyone should try it!

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

      Predicted points vs Newcastle?

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        10. He'll start, goal and assist

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Salah as well or not?

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      maybe when he actually starts a match

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

        This?

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Why chase yesterdays points tho? Sometimes you need to take a punt.

  3. samaael
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    eriksen to hazard or mane?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years

      Maney

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Without a “y”

    2. Long ball Larry
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Hazard

    3. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Hazard. Look at those fixtures. Nom nom nom.

    4. Khark
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Hazard if you have Salah.

      If not I’m really not sure haha

  4. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    right any changes need to be made on my wc team I've been messing with it now for legit 5 hours hahahaha

    edersn, hamer
    alonso, mendy, taa, periera, wba
    mane, mki, rich, bsilva, 4.5
    aub, zaha, firmino
    1.2 itb should i go for robbo??
    im keeping firmino cos its hard making a team with salah in

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      no way would I go without Salah AND Aguero soz

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        And this.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Dilva for Bilva?

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

      Think you need to forget Firmino mate. Just coz no aguero is dodger.

      Mitrovic and Aguero for Zaha and Firmino

    4. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      After watching the Liverpool games and not too keen on were Firmino was playing Salah a lot of the time was playing up front while Firmino was deep.

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Aub to Kun
      Needs Salah
      Firminho not firing. Downgrade him and get Salah in

    6. WoofWoofGrrrr
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      put salah in
      take firminio out

  5. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hey guys, can anyone point me in the right direction for match previews they like to read weekly? Thanks!

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      What for each different club? What is it you're after?

    2. Salahlulijah
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      The guardian is good and very accurate I hear

  6. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Best City mid to bring in?
    Have none atm

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Still think Bsilva, although a fair few are disagreeing with that lately

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Silva

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        which?...

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          David. His performance against Hudds was outstanding

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Dilva

  7. kepaccino
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Sell or Keep Mahrez? Already taken a hit

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Would keep if you have taken a hit already. Could easily start the weekend

  8. Paulie Walnuts
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Jimmy snuka superfly

    1. Paulie Walnuts

    hamer vs CARD is a must for me this week,probably huddersfields easiest fixture all season ,I just gotta play him ,a week on the pine for you mr degea ,I want you to have a good talk with your shite defence and come back strong gw4...

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      If Hamer starts that is

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

      Lossl may start

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        May be wishful thinking, but is he really going to get dropped after taking an inevitable hammering from City. Doesn't do his confidence much good.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I am playing him too. Hope he keeps his spot. Cardiff look toothless. Hope

  10. Goat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Foster
    Van Dijk, Mendy, Tomkins
    Bilva, Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Zaha

    King, WB, Bednarek

    2 FT’s. Nothing ITB

    Please help no idea what to do

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      King downgrade. Bednar upgrade.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Ings and Holebas?

    2. WoofWoofGrrrr
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      King to Ings and hold the other

  11. Soapy
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Could anyone tell me what was the reason for Stankovic starting last week? Any chance he starts again this week?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Zanka injury, depends when big Z is back

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

        Hopefully Wagner gives some hint tomorrow. Cheers

  12. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    On wildcard, should i start with Hazard now or go Mané this GW and then transfer Hazard next GW?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Can you squeeze both in? Hazard could really set this place alight on Sunday. Good fixtures too

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        It's three from Salah, Mané, Hazard and Aguero

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Ok on Salah, Kun and Haz

    2. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Gamble on hazard I would. I have mane but if was on WC would probably go haz if I had salah

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      B.

    4. WoofWoofGrrrr
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mane until Haz starts a couple

  13. Gashead9
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Any Mahrez owners remaining? Holding or selling?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Think he will be back for Wolves

      1. Gashead9
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Do you own him? I can replace for free, but would want another City mid to replace him

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Think it's gonna be a lottery all season with City mids.

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I sold

      1. Gashead9
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Who for?

        1. Buck The Trent
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Mikh

          1. Gashead9
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Really don't fancy Mkhi tbh, he has the odd good game but so inconsistent since being in the prem. Not sure that is gonna change

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Sold for Mkhitaryan. Extra cash gives me option to get hazard, Aubameyang or Alonso next week

    4. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      i ended up getting rid of Mahez. reason i think David Silva is more nailed on why KDB is out. He can really break down the 10 men behind the ball which is what the next 9 opponents are going to do.Plus he's just retired from international duty so he's going to get plenty of rest. Early exit from the world cup too. i opted for D silva

      1. Gashead9
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        This is along the lines of my kind of thinking, David Silva seems the best replacement. Not sure I want Haz until he starts starting games & Auba needs to start scoring.

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

      Gone from my team. Too much of a worry and I can get 1 pointers easily without wasting a slot on a rotation risk. I did Mahrez/Doherty to Mikhi/Alonso before price rises. already a profitable move.

  14. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Is anyone starting Kamara this week?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Don't have him mate

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Slavisa might not.

    3. the axolotl

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        ask Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas

  15. Iwobi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mane or Alli?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mane

    2. WoofWoofGrrrr

      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mane

  16. Buck The Trent

    Start ?

    A DDG (TOT)
    B Hamer (CAR), only 1 shot on target over 2 GWs

    My current team below and 2FTs.

    Patricio, Hamer
    Mendy, VVD, Luiz (WanB, bednarek)
    Salah, mane, richarlison, bsilva (Cairney)
    Aguero, arnie, king

    What would you do?

    A. Cairney to Kante (boring I know) and roll FT
    B. King, Cairney, Luiz to kamara, Mkhi and Periera (Mkhi to play as 5th mid)
    C. Other?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      King to Ings give you enough to get Alonso?

      1. n-doggg
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        0.1 away

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

      King > Zaha if you have the funds. Mitrovic another decent optio. Could also downgrade Luiz > Chillwell/Pereira and use the funds to do King > Zaha. No rush to get rid of Luiz but think there are better value elsewhere

  18. Champione
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    A) Play with this -8 team (transfers already done):

    Foster
    Alonso Mendy VVD
    Salah Mhki Richarlison Kante
    Aguero Auba Mitrovic

    Fabianski Peltier Stephens Wan-B

    B) Wildcard

    1. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      What would you WC to?!

      Keep it

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Cheers. Love the team but this is for -8. Could always take some hits later if wildcarding now

        1. n-doggg
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Or wc later when you really need it.

          What do you think of mine above?

          1. Champione
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            good point. Will have a look. Just a second

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Save the wc

      1. Champione

    Any love for hazard?

    1. Champione

      very much

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years

      Too hazardous

  20. No Professionals
    • 9 Years

    Just used 2FT (Ederson and mkhitaryan) 1.0m ITB

    Ederson
    Mendy Robertson Tomkins
    Salah(c) mane richarlison mkhi
    Aguero zaha king
    (Hamer stephens Peltier WB)

    Feel it looks strong, which normally means I'll have a shocker

  21. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Jota and shaw out for Bellerin and mikki for a minus 4??
    Yes or no??

    1. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mkhi yes. Bellerin no

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 9 Years

        I’m glad you have said that that has reaffirmed what I’m thinking currenlty

  22. Garfield1001

    Anybody with Bilva looking to get rid?

    1. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Might do a last minute switch to Mkhi but probably hold. Any word in the pressers or not happened yet?

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Not happened yet

      2. the axolotl
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        i think that's a reasonable move anyway, i'm thinking about it. i've been disappointed with Bilva. was awful i thought vs arsenal. didn't see huddersfield game but no points in 6 goals is pretty damning

    2. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I've begrudgingly taken him out for mkhi just to get some arsenal coverage and feel the rotation risk at city was too great. Felt I could look at the line ups and see all 3 of my players on their bench

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

      Gone for me. Dilva playing doesn't do him any favours.

    4. Messsiaah
      • 11 Years

    A)TAA and Mitro

      Six of one, half a dozen of the other in my opinion

    Coleman,: leaves or stays?

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years

      Coleman is one of the remaining myths of FFS. It's lazy and people will still be saying he has the best attacking threat 2 years from now. The reality is he's not and hasn't been since his injury. Sell him would be my advice.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend

      Leaves

  26. BenDavies

    How sure are we that Ings will start?

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      His form

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Played well

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years

      Most attacking player in the side. Gets in the box. Scored last week.

      My brothers girlfriends sister knows Mark Hughes’ dry cleaner and she has it on good authority that not only does Ings start he is also on pens and will play in goal if the Saints concede a pen to get penalty save points as well

    Did Emery say anything on the GK situation at Arsenal?

    RIP Hart. Welcome Heaton.

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years

      Why?

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        He is on borrowed time, imagine first IB will see him wiped out

          • 16 Years

          How did Heaton get on tonight?

      How does someone who has been on here 8 years not know the answer to that
