    Good to go? Or take a hit of -4m and transfer Begovic?

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Decent chance of a couple of save points

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Probably right. Cheers

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Trent over Wan, for me.

      No need for another transfer.

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That's one I've deliberated on all week. I'll do it but you're getting the blame if it was wrong

  2. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Did Hodgson mention Tomkins?

    If he’s injured, I’m not starting AWB.

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He remained coy on Tomkins. It's 50-50

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ta. Starting King over AWB for sure then.

    2. ScratchingTheMud

      B Silva > Pedro

    Walcott or Pedro ?

    1. BENOIT

      W

      1. cutch

        Walcott

    2. F4L

      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro

  6. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What would you do?

    A) Hennessey, Hamer, Fraser ( as 4th mid)
    B) Hennessey, Foster, Brooks ( as 4th mid)

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A, Brooks is good but I think Fraser has more end product which will equal more fpl points

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All good???

    Rui
    Alonso / Mendy / Robo
    Salah / Mane / Wally / BSilva
    Kun(c) / Zaha / Wilson

    Hamer / WB / Billing / Peltier

  8. Nedvěd11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Captain:

    Auba, Hazard or Mendy?

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard

  9. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I need to decide between WB and Schlupp. Is see most people saying WB but will Schlupp not be playing left wing?

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You think he won't play?

      2. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Meyer played 90min midweek, Schlupp will start this weekend, but after that it's anyone's guess

    2. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He will be for now, but I think he is one of the most likely to get the chop when Roy decides to change his line-up a bit, which will happen. So AWB for me the better option

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I mean for today though not long term.

        1. ChampChomp
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Oh then Schlupp it up my friend

    3. All about the Mané
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Schlupp until he gets dropped....if he gets dropped as he's playing good

    4. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      AWB, Schlupp might not play 60 mins

  10. APN
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Start Fraser or King or Wan-Bissaka ?? Only one of them can start ? Who would you go for ?

    1. Webbinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      King

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not Wan

  11. Webbinho
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ready to roll?

    Hennessey (Fabianski)
    Alonso Monreal mendy Robertson (AWB)
    Pogba, Salah, Walcott (Hughes Fraser)

  12. RomeluStormzy

      WB

  21. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Many think only newcastle will park the bus against city. I think every team will park their biggest bus vs city. If u want to captain kun vs team who aren't park the bus then (C) him vs klopp side 🙂

    1. cutch
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, most teams will park the bus but some are better at it than others. HUD missing two defenders were never going to be able to do it in the same way that well know bus man Rafa can.

  22. MITRAKADABRA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who should i play:
    A Ryan Bertrand (cry)
    B Jose Holebas (TOT)?

    1. jdogg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bertrand.x

    2. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison sellers will be punished today.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lol, up vote

    2. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      deffo triple captain material

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      By Walcott

    4. FC Barkerlona
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      By a player actually playing?

  24. jezstatham
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Jorginho.i know nothing about him other than he touches the ball a lot and sounds good

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That’s him in a nutshell.

  25. Teomi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bench one:
    A TAA
    B AWB

    1. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Exact same dilemma at the moment I'm benching AWB

      1. Teomi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I think I will aswell

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would bench TAA. I don’t think it’s this week but he’s definitely a rotation risk. And Leicester are not so bad. Saints look abysmal and AWB is at home.

      1. Teomi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Good point - TAA is a risk because of freekicks and corners

  26. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is it correct that Tomkins and Zaha were both missing from palace training pictures yesterday?

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You have to start false rumours 10 minutes before deadline, you know that.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I think it's true

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Scenes. Meltdown incoming if true.

      No idea for what it’s worth.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha was pictured.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Nope, the guy people thought was Zaha was AWB

  27. bobinjo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke as a differental lads,what do you think?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Did you eat some wild mushrooms for breakfast?

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, he is a differential because nobody owns him. And for good reason. I assume you haven’t watched football in the last 5 years.

    3. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Negative differential. He’s been awful

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes good idea ……..put him in...….

  28. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Good luck Aguero TC's

  29. ABCDEFC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who do I start?
    A) Fraser (CHE A)
    B) Neves (WHU A)
    C) King (CHE A)

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      D wan bissaka

  30. Khark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Can someone talk me out of owning Ngolo Kante at 5m please?

    It feels completely wrong. The lad can’t shoot, he’s actually scared of shooting. He only does basic passes...

    BUT he’s playing so advanced surely the assists will start to trickle in? I feel I’m going mad, never thought I’d consider him EVER.

    1. jezstatham
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ive got him on a wc for same reason and jorginho who is also about the same price!.it allowed me to get the other 9 musthaves into my team!!

      1. 2hotty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        the best way to look at it is he's only bench fodder but guranteed to start so ye will mostly get 2 or 3 points from the bench which is better than 1 or none
