Fantasy managers will be heavily reliant on the exploits of their Liverpool assets after a tough start to Gameweek 3.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), the most captained player of the weekend, will be the key focal point while Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) should make a difference too.

Salah himself has 54 percent ownership while the other members of his front three are both backed by more than 30 percent.

There will also be hopes for another Liverpool clean sheet with Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m) in 19, 18 and 16 percent of squads, respectively.

Liverpool are unchanged for a third Premier League match in succession, great news for Fantasy managers currently tripled-up on Jurgen Klopp’s extremely settled side.

Meanwhile, Pascal Groß (£6.9m) was named on the bench as Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) comes into the line-up to play just behind Glenn Murray (£6.5m)

There was one change in defence with Leon Balogun (£4.5m) coming in for Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

BRIGHTON XI (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bong, Balogun, Duffy, Montoya; March, Propper, Stephens, Knockaert; Bissouma; Murray

    Couldn’t watch games today:

    1) how many bans for Richarlison?
    2) did Arnie injury look seriously?

    1. ZeBestee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably 2 for PL
      Arnie think he should be ok.

      1. Jack Frost
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Looked like he jarred his knee by striking ground on a strong SOG. I may be wrong..

    2. Gilbo88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Headbutt so 3 games. And I think Arnie was a knee injury but unsure how serious

    3. Jack Sparrow
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 ban
      Yes

    4. Khark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 match
      Yes

  2. ZeBestee
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino for his first haul of the season. Incoming.

    1. Gazpilicueta
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Id take that.

      1. ZeBestee
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Waited for him and King for sooo long. King has delivered, he is next.

  3. Rainer

    Time to end some FPL seasons, Salah!

      Walcott

      1. Ha.
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Should have done this in the first place 🙁

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison

    4. AlCapwnUK
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kante

    5. Sleep Talk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I was considering Gross for a moment, but benched against Pool? 😕

      Bernardo if I can find some extra cash.

      Maddison? Or perhaps Jota back after selling last week?

      1. Sleep Talk
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cairney, Boly and AWB to cover. But I can imagine losing a lot of value over the international break, so looking to get rid.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          8 years, 1 month ago

          gross will only be benched this once. Brighton concded 9 last year to pool and about 20 over the last two seasons, they had to change something

      2. MTPockets
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That was my first though, but TOT/mci coming up.

    6. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      see how Chelsea do, could hold and play double palace defence

    7. Jack Sparrow
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All of the above terrible. Move money about.

    8. fedolefan

      Hazard

    9. Marvin.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just play him.

    10. TomSaints
      8 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea -> 4.5 Richarlison -> hazard for a hit

      1. FPL Pillars
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Computer says no

    11. lugs
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott for his nice fixtures , bank his inevitable price rise , then buy Rich back at a cheaper price when he returns 🙂

      1. Infamy, Infamy
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

    12. jomikijiq
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi or Pedro

    13. thunder_mike
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wally I think, good fixtures, in form, will play.

    14. TooDifficuIt
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pedro or maybe Siggy and help me get that 0.1 back

  5. Jafooli

    What's mitrovic ownership in top 10k like? Fancy him to at least beat my current high scoring 2 pointer players

    1. noahzark22
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm hoping for a brace! Tired Burnley players hopefully.

      Actually, I need a 7 goal thriller. Have Mitro and Gudmnundson still to go

    2. LǝgleSs e|even

      Kept mitro too hope he is on nitro tonight. Would love a brace

      Bad injury?

        what?

  9. Frank Koscielny
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Was the red card for Richarlison deserved?
    And, for how long will he be banned?

    1. Bubz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

      3 games

    2. Jack Sparrow
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, anyone who says no is an idiot who doesn't know the rules.

    4. Bolivian Seaman

        Will replace with Walcott on my WC

        1. Jack Frost
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, a clear, "violent" childish move..a head butt.. probably didn't leave a mark but intent seems to be the key.

    Brighton 1-0 LIV incoming

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The way this GW is going, I’d say that’s about right. Duffy with his first in 2 seasons!

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Duffy scored last week didn't he?

  11. #FPLBhuna
    8 years, 1 month ago

    11 from 7 post baps on a wc

    Last weeks team would be on 26 from 6

    Cheer up all

    1. banskt
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Easy to say, difficult to cheer up mate.

  12. jia you
    8 years, 1 month ago

    God, I'm not a religious man but if you're there can you please do me a couple of very small favours?
    A Salah blank and a BHA goal.
    Cheers!

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There was some guy earlier promising to go back to God if Salah scored so you're putting the big guy in a real tough spot.

      1. jia you
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, interesting to see who he favours so! I've been a good guy though so expecting him to deliver 😉

  13. WorldCupDanB
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How bad was the Arnautovic injury?

    1. Bubz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Muscular. Will be out

      1. Ramboros
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It didn't look like a muscular injury when he did a full on sprint between the two times he sat down.

        1. Bubz
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Just going off what the commentators on radio said

    2. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Who do you prefer more

      A)Pedro
      B)Walcott

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He tried to play on and didn't appear to receive treatment so I don't think it's bad but obviously will need a check.

  14. XabiAlonso
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How are Liverpool unchanged if Henderson is starting

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He’s not.

      1. XabiAlonso
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Your line up has Henderson starting

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I’ve flagged it, thanks for spotting.

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Because Hendo isn't starting.

      1. Rainer
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, in the article. They try to match the Guardian with their team news here 😉

        1. XabiAlonso
          8 years, 1 month ago

          😆

    3. Licky

    4. Marvin.

      Clanger.

  15. SweeSwee
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Actually took a hit to bring Richarlison in this week.

    1. ZeBestee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That makes it 2. Everyone has him so shouldnt have a huge effect.

    2. Jack Sparrow
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 less person to worry about. Thanks.

    3. Mic

    4. Bolivian Seaman

      wow he cost you 8 points

    5. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      On paper it’s a solid move as captain hindsight will tell you shouldn’t of made the move

    6. Dušan Citizen
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me too

  16. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    King and Boly out for Alonso and Ings... Typical

  17. Knowledgeable meerkat
    8 years, 1 month ago

    It would sum fpl up beautifully if king and firmino, the two players I said were playing for their places in my team this gw, were the only two in my team to get any sort of return

  18. camarozz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I suppose 18 puts not bad considering how things have went 2day. Just brought Rich in so gonna have to bench aren't I??

    1. camarozz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      18 pts

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well done on that number 1 spot for this gw

    3. Own Goal
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You are seriously considering benching a player whom won't play until September 29th?
      How much value do you think you'll lose on him, with all those wildcards flying around?

      1. Pep says
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wildcards don't contribute to price drops. Wan Bisako is very capable of covering Richarlison's place for the next 3 games until he returns, thus saving 1, maybe 2 transfers if you end up wanting him back. Could be a shred move. Can't see him dropping below 6.5m before he returns either

  19. BenDavies
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton one of the worst teams I've ever seen play away in the Premier League. Cue 1-1. Hendo and Murray

  20. Tinydancer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane Salah VVD ... Save me

    1. bitars
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This!

  21. Bubz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Rich ----> Fraser & Cedric ----> PVA (-4)

    Thoughts?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if you want to take a hit that's a decent idea

    2. ZeBestee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Watch the remaining games first.

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well yeah obviously 😆

        1. ZeBestee
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fraser has Chelsea next.

          1. Bubz
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Dont see many better options at his price though

            1. Pieterke30
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Gray?
              Nice fixtures.

    3. jomikijiq
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i wouldn't for a hit

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cedric will drop and continue to stink out my team if I dont

        1. thunder_mike
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I think it is worth it PVA has great fixtures, potential attacking returns too

        2. jomikijiq
          8 years, 1 month ago

          ok, I never take hits with price drops in mind, but if you believe it is beneficial go for it. PVA definitely a great pick

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do you need Fraser to play against che away?

    5. Botman and Robben
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe just Rich, then do Cedric later for free, hits not looking the way to go this early.

  22. Bartowski
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone ready for the big kick off at half five?

    Empire Strikes Back on ITV2 that is.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan

      Is it really on? I thought they only showed it at Christmas. I know which channel I'll be on!

      1. The Pesci challenge

          Yep!

      2. Bartowski

    Well damn.

    1. Bubz

      Unbelievable. Hope Zaha outscores him

    2. GENERATION X
      8 years, 1 month ago

      lord knows how but in this sort of gw its gold dust

  24. Richarlison Replacements
    Celt Abroad
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So the question on many manager’s minds today: who to replace richarlison with?

    Here’s 5 possibilities:

    1. Mkhitaryan- need to find a bit of money to upgrade, but excellent fixtures, in an attacking team, and has showed good form already this season. Slight risk of rotation though in a front line that is yet to settle.

    2. Pedro - two goals already, and in a strong attacking side with some excellent games coming up. Slight doubt over his place when Hazard returns to the starting xi.

    3. Maddison - brilliant record last season, and looks to be a key playmaker for Leicester. Will be missing vardy for the next two games though, which may hamper Leicester’s overall attack.

    4. Fraser - seems more nailed in the Bournemouth starting xi, and has started the season strongly. Always a risk that points get shared around in that Bournemouth attack.

    5. Walcott - in excellent form, and will take on even more responsibility in Evertons attack in the absence of richarlison. But has let us down so often in the past - can he be trusted?

    That’s my top five - any other good options out there?

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽ï…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      wally or fraser

    2. Butcher
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott. Easy decision. Great fixtures and on form.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Actually , this.

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 is the best if you can afford him

    4. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Pedro for me, but also interesting in Maddison and Walcott to

    5. lugs
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i already have 3 of those 😆

    6. 404_FC
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wally for me

    7. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      6. Sessegnon - Fulham looks a decent side offensively as well. He's only 6.4 atm. Looks nailed on and already had an attacking return.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Mitrovic is enough

        1. Licious Lizard
          8 years, 1 month ago

          For people who doesn't own Mitrovich, he could be an option.

          Not saying he's the best, but shouldn't be ignored completely.

      2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This is a decent shout. Quite a few - but not all of course - of those going for Wally seem like the same names I saw who all rushed for Richarlison this week and Aguero. Always points chasing.

        1. Licious Lizard
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah he has passed the eye test at least - haven't really gotten into looking deeply at his stats.

          Yep, but I also think the volatile transfer market has it's effects. There seems to be many more changes this year.

          Who are you leaning towards atm?

        2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Agree on the shout (plus, FUL still to play GW3)!
          Also agree that prices have been Off The Chain Volatile so far!

        3. Pieterke30
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Disagree. Had Aguero and Rich from the start.

          I want to have an EVE attacker for their next two fixtures. Would have kept Rich but he got sent off. So... Walcott makes sense and it’s not chasing points.

      3. ChristoBisto
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I like the idea of it, but look his next 2 fixtures. Brighton away and Man City away. Don't fancy those at all and I don't think it pays to plan too far ahead in fpl, as in buying now for gwk 6.

    8. The Pesci challenge

      I was looking at B Silva to Walcott either this week or next, so Rich to Walcott looks like the obvious switch.

    11. Pep says
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at VVD. Rich. Arnie to Tomkins. Haz. Raul

    12. Kun Tozser

      Aaron Wan-Bissaka off your bench is the best option.

      1. BIGREDDOG
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This! But what if you've another problem on top?

    13. Celt Abroad
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Pedro, but would like to see Chelsea’s team sheet tomorrow first.

    14. Dr Van Nostrand

      Zaha for me in a formation swap already have first 2

    15. mleonard

      Milner? Or possibly Pogba if you have spare funds?

      1. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Love the Milner Shout!
        Playing like a boss, BPS-Magnet, and on Pens...
        Problem is taking up a Liverpool Slot!? Almost think a double up on defense looks like the best option to compare with Salah/Mane...
        (Currently have Robbo/Salah/Firmino...and happy)

        1. is this real
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I was going to suggest Milner as well. At 5.5, could be an absolute bargain if he keeps getting minutes. But yeah the issue is the Liverpool slots, most people have 2 or 3 already and Milner would only complicate things if you want to get Mane/Salah/etc.

    16. vartshk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looking like Wally for me. Unless anyone can convince me to get mhki instead.

    17. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mane + Rich -> Haz + Fraser for me

      Need to see Haz first tomorrow though. Otherwise Pedro for Rich

      1. SharkyJon
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Liking that switch...that’s my plan but maybe with Walcott instead of Fraser as I still have King.....does depend on Arnie fitness though!

    18. lugs
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i might switch from a 352 to a 343 by swapping Rich to Leicesters Mendy (4,5) , then Ings who is only my first sub anyway to Zaha for a - 4 , that will then give me a Auba-Aguero-Zaha frontline leaving me 1.0 itb 🙂

    19. ENEMY
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Already have Mkhi and Pedro. Going for Walcott.

      I may hold and play Wan Bissaka (SOU, hud)

    23. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi and Fraser owner.

      1m in the bank means it could be Bilva... but he seems to have gone right off the boil.

      Maddison might be the one for me.

      Walcott is nothing but a troll.

      Pedro - I really question his game time once Hazard is truly back in the fold.

      Lots of thinking to be done this week. Eyes on price changes.

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't say right off the boil. He could easily have had an assist this GW if the team weren't so lacklustre/unlucky/bad day.

        Maddison is interesting, but not sure if I trust Leiceister offensivey without Vardy tbh.

        Walcott is a troll, but he could still do a decent job. Currently leaning towards him, but we have all just been burned so many times before.

        Pedro is the option in this price bracket I think has the highest ceiling, but the game time is a big worry for me as well. Even if he starts, he's likely to be subbed for Willian I'm guessing.

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Bilva has not gone off the boil at all.

    25. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kanté an option at all?

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not for me. I don't think his output will match any of the better options at a slightly higher price. Of course it depends on what you use the extra cash on, but I'm not going for Kante myself.

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Poss, want to see how he plays tomorrow

    26. ted mcnure
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have the $ for Mkhi, but..Mili(CRY) looks goooood..?

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nah I think Mili is a trap to be honest.
        Would prefer Mkhi or another of the cheaper options

    27. C-Dawgg
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I made vow to never get Walcott again (he and I have a long FF history)

      If my team wasn't in such a state I'd actually just hold.

      I like Pedro but only if he starts with Hazard

      Pogba could be a slightly left field shout.

      Or a formation change for one of our lovely premium defense options.

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Haha most of us has some history with Feo I think, but sounds like you are adamant not going there.
        Pogba could be a shout. Decent fixtures and I think people are overreacting a bit in saying they will avoid all and any ManU options. Can’t afford myself though, but would definitely consider him if I could.
        Re: Pedro. Very good form and he seems to be favored over William. I am just very nervous he will be either be benched or be subbed on 60-70 mins every match. Is this a risk you are willing to take?

        1. C-Dawgg
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I think we need to see tomorrow's game to be sure, I'm actually leaning towards bringing in Alonso and playing 4-4-2 but a full 90 from Pedro could change my mind.

          Pogba would possibly be my preference but like you I'm not sure how I'd bring him in.

          1. Licious Lizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Do you have 2 FTs? Then I think a 4-4-2 with Alonso could definitely work.

            1. C-Dawgg
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Unfortunately it would be a -4 which is frustrating.

              I think I'm gonna have to hold off making a move until we get an update on the Arnie injury anyway... He would be the second striker in my 4-4-2

              1. Licious Lizard
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah if you are sure, you're not going for Theo anyway, you can might as well hold on.

                FWIW I don't think Arnie's injury looked very serious, as he tried to play on for a little bit. Hopefully he'll be back next week, but let's wait for news.

                1. C-Dawgg
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Ah thanks man, I didn't see it at all so that's really helpful.

                  I got Richarl from the start so I have some time to wait.

                  Looks like I'll be doing nothing for now then!

    28. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So I’m going to try to reboot this HT.
      How do you think it will affect Walcott playing without Rich.
      Will he have a bigger part to play in their attacking play?
      Will their attack suffer from the Lack of Rich’s runs?
      Or will Bernard step in and business as usual?

      1. FPL Alaska
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Gut says Wally will have returns, but have been burnt a few times before so hesistant to pull the trigger.

        1. Licious Lizard
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I at least think he is one of the "safest" bets of the replacements. Pedro higher ceiling, but not nailed. Mkhi with those fixtures as well looks good - but then again 1m more.
          Maddison... eh?

          Not a lot of talk about Sessegnon at all. He could be a fun punt for 2 weeks, but haven't REALLY looked into him.

          1. Citizenkane91
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I've seen both of Fulham's games. Sessegnon has impressed me more than Mitrovic. In fact, I think he's a potential FPL jewel, who should have had more returns than he's got. His positioning was ahead of Mitrovic in GW 2.

            1. Licious Lizard
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Glad to hear I’m not the only one eyeing him up.
              Are you going for him?

    29. FPL Alaska
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A) Rich > Wally
      B) Rich > Mkhi
      C) Rich & B.Silva > D.Silva & Fraser (-4)

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        For me C is a bit too sideways at least, but then again I'm not convinced D.Silva is 100% nailed.

        Do you have a plan for the extra 1m if you go for Wally over Mkhi?

        1. FPL Alaska
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I will only have 0.6 left ITB if I go Wally over Mkhi, no immediate transfers it would allow at this time.

          1. Licious Lizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            But you would have 1.7 if you went for Wally. Worth considering what would splash the cash on.

        2. FPL Alaska
          8 years, 1 month ago

          And hear you there about D.Silva, just wondering about the time to get Bernardo out, maybe will give him one more week.

          1. Licious Lizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I thought about it as well, but I think he will play most - if not all - matches. And with those fixtures, he's bound to get something. He's been a bit withdrawn and a bit unlucky. I'm giving it a week or two as well.

    30. H-SF
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Demarai Gray

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A bit too knee jerky for me 😉

      2. Ketchupork
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He would be great differensial, no one notice him yet.

    31. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pedro or Walcott, will make my decision after Chelsea game

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It looks like Walcott is rising tonight though.
        Depends on if you value .1m or more information. Waiting is probably the wisest move

    32. Goonermeister
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pascal Gross going under the radar

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not considering him before GW 8 tbh.
        They won't be playing united every week

    33. noahzark22
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I had two FT and no other concerns with my team. I banked the 0.1 I made on Richarlison's rise and went to Walcott. Good fixtures, good form and I already had Mkhi. I'm not dead set on swapping back once he returns, but I'll consider it.

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This is actually a bit of what I'm personally scared of. Forgetting the plan to swap back and potentially carry on a few more weeks with a bad pick, because it's too sideways...

        But yeah with 2 Its, you have a bit more security than the 1 FT plebs

    34. Millennium Barn Dance
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Got stung by Walcott before but he was like 9 million quid then...

      6.5 seems like a bit of a bargain now that he's much more sure to start

    35. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      8 years, 1 month ago

      6. Jota
      (Think it’s def too soon! but a Reverse-Bandwagon of last week would be so awesome if it worked..lol)
      7. Downgrade to a 5mil-ish MID
      (Neves, Kante, Kennedy, etc.)

      1. El Lobito 10
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No option stands out, which, from experience, suggests it will all end in frustrated tears. I say hold Richarlison and play your fourth defender. Maddison otherwise is the best option.

        1. HNI
          8 years, 1 month ago

          People with Bsilva will need Rich replacement as he dint have a good game and can be benched

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Did you watch the game!? He played well!

    36. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I might just hold and play Neves the next two matches.

    37. BbBb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I considered Rambo, looked pretty good today... but went for the safe pick and snapped up Walcott before his price rise tonight

    38. SantiClaus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      In my world everybody stays
      Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say
      Bless my soul

    39. Alpharius
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So I was definitely going for 5. Walcott, great fixtures and form. But I feel asleep watching Match of the day before making the transfer and missed the price rise. I can still afford him, but won't have 0.1m to bank now

    40. HNI
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrading Richarlison to Hazard may work with BOU CDF next. All depends on todays match vs newC. Also we will get a look of newC defence before city match. As main reason to bring in Hazard will be captaincy vs Bou which will be moot point if Kun vs Neec works better

    41. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sigurdson? Costs a bit more but Everton's best player...

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Siggy has been unlucky so far I think. The early sub and to not be more involved in the points. If it is a short term swap, I’m just not sure he is worth it over Theo though

    42. AllGonePozzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Considering doing PCS and Rich to Alonso and Fraser for -4. Either that or straight swap of Rich -> Pedro. Undecided which is the best option going to wait until after Chelsea game.

      1. AllGonePozzo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        PVA not PCS

    43. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think I’ll just hold.

      He’ll miss 2 league games but I’ve got Tomkins with 2 nice fixtures against Southampton (H) & Huddersfield (A) to cover him.

      I’ll defiantly want him back so I’ll be burning 2 FTs to ship him out and back in, really want to bank 2 FTs for the international break.

    44. Ghost of Tomiyasu
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is it worth benching him if i bought him at 6.5?
      worried if i take him out i wont afford to put him back in

    45. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am going to see where Meyer plays for Palace today - could be an interesting differential if he plays in an attacking position

      1. benbro
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Meyer an interesting shout. if not Mili then Meyer might be he best way forward. Especially with their fixtures and Zaha looking keen.

    46. SweepaKeepa
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Any chance Lookman comes in for Richarlison?

      1. Earwicker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That would make my season. If Lookman became an Everton regular his ownership would rocket.

      2. Third Eye Vision
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I would highly doubt this. Lookman is out of favour, due to his desire to leave for Germany. He has actually made the squad, but I fully expect Bernard to come in for Richarlison.

        1. SweepaKeepa
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, QBD. Shame!

    47. Skribblah88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just going to keep him, it's only 2 games and already have mkhitaryan and Fraser. Walcott and Madison have terrible underlying stats and Pedro is likely to play 60-70 mins each game.

      Wan-bissaka off the bench for 2 nice fixtures, use my transfers for something decent as I'll want richarlison when he comes back and I don't think he'll drop too much in price

  25. 404_FC
    8 years, 1 month ago

    when we will transfer richarlison out ? wait for tomorrow?

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on when you got him and who you want. And of course whether you are willing to risk an early transfer with so many matches to play.

      If you had him from the start, I'd say wait as long as possible. You can take 1 price fall without losing value.

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

      Probably can wait 4-5 days if you had him from 6.5

    3. 404_FC
      8 years, 1 month ago

      thanks i cant remember i get him on 6.5 or 6.6

      do you know how to check it?

        0.1 I meant.

      He was very, very bad today. Poor touches, poor crosses, scared to go into 50/50s, or even 60/40s in his favour. I’d be looking to offload if I owned him.
