    Pick one to start?

    Tomkins WAT A
    Daniels EVE H
    Cedric LEI H

        Very optimistic about later two.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric maybe get an assist

    4. Harvey 1950
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d say Palace have the better defence of the three and Tompkins has a goal threat.

    5. Hanked
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tomkins

      Might be worth spending less on your sub defenders or elsewhere in future so your third defender is an option you want to play.

  2. Rodney
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Arnie to Mitro?

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

      Why ? Stats better ?

      1. Rodney
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Both on a goal a piece, I was at Hammers on Saturday and we looked tame going forward, no real goal threat although he is on pens now. Spurs mates at their game said Mitrovic looked very good and was denied a brace by the post.

        West Hams fixture list is also a mine field for the next couple of months, plus Mitro saves £0.5m

        1. Rodney
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Also got Perez coming into the side and Hernandez pushing for game time.

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I had both, Mitro, Arnie & King. Now on Kun, Zaha & Ings

          Not sure I would sell Arnie for Mitiro, but would for the Zaha fixtures

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no unless you need the .5

  3. Poppa Klopp
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m on WC, do I go for:

    A) Hazard

    B) Mane, keep the cash spare for the upgrade Hazard later

    I’ve got a feeling Hazard is going to kill it this season but roumournhas it he’s not going to start against Newcastle, only another sub

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Im doing B

    2. theswallow1965
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mane because he is killing it, you’re only speculating so far that Hazard will kill it.

  4. dilksymatey
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tosun or Mitro?

    Pedro or Rich?

    1. Poppa Klopp
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro & Rich for me

      1. theswallow1965
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This, I have both and are going nowhere at the moment!

    2. jumpinjeffflash
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go with Mitro and Rich (sounds like a European version of Tango and Cash!). They both look good for pointage this weekend. I'm waiting for Hazard to start games before deciding on whether Pedro is a good investment.

    3. Harvey 1950
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro & Rich.

  5. Waltomade
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Captaining Mane wth both Aguero and Salah in team.
    Madness??
    Or do it???

    1. Poppa Klopp
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a gamble

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Risky but if the others blank you’ll profit massively

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If that’s what YOU want to do go for it!

    4. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      why not 😉 (salah for me)

  6. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Really think Aubameyang is going to score well this week. Might just (c) him....

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck

    2. LOL LINGARD SCORED
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm debating this little punt as well. He's due a goal, surely.

      My concern was initially that he hasn't scored yet but Aguero hadn't scored before last week and that paid off. Taking into account Arsenal have had the most difficult starting fixtures they could've had. This should be a fairly comfortable game for them

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        West Ham yet to win with all these new players. Reckon could get result here

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah and Aubameyang could have score a few against Chelsea. Was wasteful. He’s also determined to make it right as per his Twitter. Worth a punt imo

  7. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What is Salah Price % currently? Site not working for me atm.

      Only 2 in the top 100 😯

      1. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So many of the top spots have played bench boost and triple captain already, wouldn't imagine most on here have done so.

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

          8th has used his BB and WC. Will be interesting to see what happens later.

        2. Podge
          • 15 Years

          Ah right

    2. The Non Flying Dutchman
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      84% of players in top 500k as one might expect.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        349 teams eliminated already. Some of those could be there too.

    3. Shah G
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      LMS is so based on luck, even the best managers can have a off GW.. Should give 'A' chance every 10-15 GWs..

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

        Most off GWs still equals survival. It's more the nightmare ones that cause the trouble.

        1. Shah G
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cant remember a season 'without' a nightmare one, though I am usually out before that.. Cheers..

      Thanks for this. I just joined, 3k atm 🙂

      Just for clarity, bottom half gets knocked out every gw or how does it work?

      1. JJO
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        no,some lower procent

      2. Shah G
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Must equal or better a random number based on GW average to get qualified for next GW..

    Mahrez > Dilva for free?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

      May be on the bench

    2. Podge

      No

    3. Duffy Dunk

  10. Nedvěd11

    Firmino -> Auba for -4 and (C)

    (already have Aguero and Salah) - sickness?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Disgusting

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years

      free next week imo

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you captain him over Salah?

  11. willl
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling to decide between Mane and Auba captain.

    Anyone else picking between them?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Man3

    2. LOL LINGARD SCORED
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah and Auba for me. Honestly not sure and don't think there's a bad option.

    3. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If you think it’s close go for the mid over the forward.

      1. willl
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good point, Auba more of a differential too so I won't feel as bad if I miss a haul

    4. GoonerByron
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have those two but am going with Aguero

      1. LOL LINGARD SCORED
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Rebel. I like it 😉

      2. willl
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He's my third option but think I prefer the other two

  12. myteamissheeeeeeeet

    How’s your TV looking? Is mine about average at 100.7?

    1. TorresMagic™

      £101.3m, no WC or hits but I was very lucky with my team selection this season.

    3. Lord.

    Sorry also have 0.5 in the bank!

  14. Count_cooler
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I've had a fairly good start to the season with no transfers made so far. I feel like I need to make a transfer this week otherwise I'll lose it.

    What do you guys think? Thoughts appreciated!

    Team:

    Patricio, Fabianski
    Mendy, Robertson, Daniels, Wan-Bis, Tarkowski
    Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Mkitaryan, Stephens
    Aguero, Arnoutovic, Zaha

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Em.. stick ?

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice team. With no other issues, you might as well get a goalkeeper with a prospect of a clean sheet this week.

    3. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels out as its likely to be his last week playing

      Patricio > Hennesey another option

      1. JamieC180
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think Patricio to Hennessey is your best bet, too.

    4. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      solid team! maybe Daniels out to Tomkins in case WanBis doesn't come straight back in?

      1. theswallow1965
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. Use this week to tidy up Daniels then us 2FT next week maybe for Hazard, Aubameyang or Kane.

        Or you could bring in Alonso this week with 2FT.

    5. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels out maybe. Didn't Bou buy a new guy to play in his position?

    6. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels to someone who isn't Daniels. Or do a cheeky downgrade (Arnie, maybe?) with a general plan for future glory.

    7. Shah G
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Patricio > Henn..
      Stephens(price drop soon) > Another 4.5..
      Take your pick..

    8. MMN
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sensible move might be Daniels or Pat if you don’t fancy him.

      Arnie & Stephens > Kamara & Pedro if you’re feeling brave as Pedro could really do well if he carries on starting with the upcoming fixtures.

      1. Count_cooler
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers all, great suggestions. Think will go for Patr -> Henno for now.

  15. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think Giroud might start any of the next few games? Or is Morata nailed for 60-70 mins at least?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you look at getting an expensive player who isn't nailed when there are so many great options at the moment?

      1. BIind Moth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have 9m for a midfielder / attacker and Chelsea have great fixtures. My thinking is if Morata flops I can do a straight swap for Vardy when he's back.

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          B Silva, Richarlison, Mhki, Maddison, Arnie, Zaha and Wilson all look much better than Giroud and they are cheaper. I don't understand why you would want someone who managed 15/180 minutes this season.

          1. BIind Moth
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I think I worded my first comment wrong, it's Morata who I'm interested in.

    2. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's started ok so think he's safe for now

    3. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sarri seems to like Morato, but who knows.

    4. hustler7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Morata is nailed for now. I put him in this week, gaining confidence and a half decent attacking Chelsea team with good fixtures.

  16. LOL LINGARD SCORED
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at Tripper from next week but I'm not very clued up on Spurs, can anyone tell me whether he's fairly nailed on atm or is Aurier a reasonable threat to his position?

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only CL time will decide, I don't think theres a rush to get him in now.

    2. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There will be some rotation. But Trippier is miles better than Aurier.

      1. LOL LINGARD SCORED
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        cheers. that ok then. i expect some form of rotation with just about every player but so long as it's minimal i'm happy with it 🙂

  17. AbsolutelyNoIdea
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 1 month ago

    BSilva to Rich or Mkh

    Jking to Mitrovic

    ??

    1. Elsteveio
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rich if you need, but I would personally hold BSilva for another week. I would also hold King this week now he has already dropped in price. Could score this weekend against Evertons defense.

  18. jtreble

    Is the “Learning from the Great and the Good” a new feature? A weekly series of articles? Really enjoyed the one that came out today.

  19. Elsteveio
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    First time posting after years or lurking so thanks in advance!

    Would you play Kante (Newcastle A) or Ings (Leicester H) this week?

    1. LOL LINGARD SCORED
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ings easy

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      On wildcard would never consider him.
      City attack and defence are where the value is.
      Would rather have hazard and save the .5.

    So who's starting Hamer over DDG?
    Cardiff have managed 2 shots on target in 2 games (Bournemouth (A), Newcastle (H)).

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of betting that Cardiff score 20 or less this season.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years

      I am, but wary ofc that Hamer might not even play anyway

    3. MMN
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am, as it stands.

      Expect them both to concede but feel the odds are slightly better for Hamer.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have Hamer and Alisson so easier for me

      o/ Foster on bench just in case..

      No Clint Eastwood westerns on there?

    Are Kane owners bothered that he hasn’t scored at Old Trafford?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A few days ago he had never scored in August

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They weren't bothered about it being August so I doubt it 🙂

    3. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years

      Are there any Kane owners here?

    Is Hamer likely to play? Really dont want to play Patricio

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Play Hamer. If he doesn't start- its not like he is going to come in for a cameo

    bums....no mnf coverage 🙁

    1. Ha.

      That's why I'm holding Moura this week #logic

    Arnie + BDavies -> Ings + Alonso a bad move? 2 FTs

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should have done it before Bavies drop and Alonso rise.

      Also Arnie has 2 good fixtures next (yes Ars is a good fixture - dont believe the FPL colour coding)

  28. Tsparkes10

    Ozil, Diop, Firminho, Moura out
    Hazard, Townsend/Brooks, Alonso, Mitrovic in... Worth an 8 point hit?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe, but probably not

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All the players you are dropping (barring Diop) have great fixtures this week

    Captaining Mhki with Salah and Kun innmy team... am I crazy!?

    1. GoonerByron
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes (Unless it comes off)

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      beyond crazy 🙂

    4. theswallow1965
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You’re captaining Mhki over Salah when Salah has Brighton at home?
      I have both but Mhki didn’t even enter my thoughts as captain over Salah!

    5. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. See these maverik picks work sometimes (and these are ones that get remembered or get posted about on these sites) but more often than not the big hitters hit big and the punt fails.

    6. Chockky
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if it comes off you'll be the most ballsy manager since the guy who TC fellani who ended up having a mega week

    Bilva to Mkhi worth a -4?
    Or better to do Boly to Monreal?

    1. Chris_H
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Boly's dropping tonight so probably the latter if Monreal has a better fixture than your current def
