    Had to bite the bullet with Alonso last night. Too risky to go without. Took a -4 in order to allow for a better Ricky replacement than Kante.

    Smith, Ricky, Firmino > Alonso, Pedro, Mitro

    1. Khark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Decent

    2. Rash
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Good moves

    3. BrutalLogiC

      looks good but you'll miss the Firminho haul 🙁

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ah lord almighty, don’t be telling me that!

  2. Captain Haddock
    • 9 Years

    Would you play:

    A) Wan-Bissaka (SOU)
    B) King (che)

        b

      • Adro3
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        B. Chelsea defence looking suspect

      • Jeremy T
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        B. I'm playing both!

    2. Sancidino
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Patrício or Fabianski?
      Tosun or AWB?

      Currently on Fab and Tosun. Cheers!

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Currently on Pat myself out of those two.

        Next one isn’t a bit like Ings vs AWB only worse because Everton are playing Huddersfield. Based on that I’d probably go Tosun.

      2. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Fab and taa

      3. Jeremy T
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'd certainly go for Tosun. Tough between the keepers, but think I'd plump for Patricio.

      4. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Patricio, but that’s tough.
        Tosun is a no brainer

    3. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Best way to spend £9m on two keepers?

      Have palace, Brighton, Bournemouth defenders already.

    4. Ed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Start Foster (TOT) or Patricio (whu)?

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 8 months ago

          P

        • StellaMan
          • 10 Years

          Pat for me

        • Jeremy T
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Patricio imo

      2. AF90
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Benching Rich & playing AWB instead....planning to do Rich/Coleman -> Alonso/Fraser before price rises tonight for free.

        Does this sound good?

        1. Jeremy T
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Perhaps I'm missing something, but if you're going to get Fraser for Richarlison anyway, why wait? In case of Fraser injury?

      3. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Lacazette better start, last chance then he’s out.

      4. Nedvěd11
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ederson
        Mendy | Alonso | Schlupp | AWB
        Salah | Hazard | Moura | Walcott
        Zaha | Kun

        Hamer | Kante | Kamara | Bennett

        Gtg?

      5. Rash
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Who to have 1st sub?

        Fraser
        Tomkins

        Starting AWB ings Wilson fwiw

      6. JimboJ
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Tomkins to Bellerin or Trippier for a hit or hold? Would have 6.0 to play with if I ship him.

        Already AWB.

        1. Rash
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Not worth a hit

        2. StellaMan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Either seem good optionsl

      7. Adro3
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Forest and Brentford BTTS?

      8. SNKI
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Whom should I bench

        A. AWB
        B. Jimenez
        C. TAA

        1. Khark
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

        5 years, 8 months ago

        Does anyone think Ings is mad at his manager for mentioning a singular blister might keep him out. I know blisters can be serious and need rest and keeping feet up to heal but the manager should really know better. Ings should sulk and refuse to play until blister heals. (Kidding, seriously)

        I think Palace will keep a clean sheet but stuck on who to put AWB in for. Any ideas?
        -----------

        Pickford

        Mendy Robertson Luiz Shaw

        Salah BSilva Walcott Pogba

        Aguero Zaha

        Bench: Stek, Neves, King, AWB
