    Mitrovic | Aguero(C)

    Hamer | TAA | Ings | Bennett

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

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Decent chance of a couple of save points

      1. All about the Mané
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        Probably right. Cheers

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Trent over Wan, for me.

      No need for another transfer.

      1. All about the Mané
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour 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
    8 years, 2 hours ago

    Did Hodgson mention Tomkins?

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

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

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

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 hours ago

        Ta. Starting King over AWB for sure then.

  3. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years

    Patricio
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Shaw - WanBissaka
    Salah - Mane - Pogba - Bernardo
    Aguero (C)

    Hamer - Ings - Stephens - Kamara

    1FT, .5 ITB.

    Save FT?

    1. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Save . Gtg

    2. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Agree save. 2FTs useful over the int' break

    3. All about the Mané
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      B Silva > Pedro

      You'll have 1.4m ITB for next GW 😉

  5. tbhogal
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

    Walcott or Pedro ?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      W

      1. cutch
        • 12 Years

        Walcott

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Pedro

  6. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 hours 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
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      A

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

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

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 hours 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
    8 years, 2 hours ago

    Captain:

    Auba, Hazard or Mendy?

    1. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Hazard

  9. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 hours 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
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      No

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 hours ago

        You think he won't play?

      2. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

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

    2. ChampChomp
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 hours 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
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        I mean for today though not long term.

        1. ChampChomp
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 hour ago

          Oh then Schlupp it up my friend

    3. All about the Mané
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

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

    4. jomikijiq
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      AWB, Schlupp might not play 60 mins

  10. APN
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

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

    1. Webbinho
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      King

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 hours ago

      Not Wan

  11. Webbinho

      WB

  21. St. Joseph

    8 years, 2 hours 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
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      This

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour 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
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

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

    1. jdogg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Bertrand.x

    2. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      B

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

    Richarlison sellers will be punished today.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Lol, up vote

    2. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      deffo triple captain material

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      By Walcott

    4. FC Barkerlona
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      By a player actually playing?

  24. jezstatham
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 2 hours 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
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      That’s him in a nutshell.

  25. Teomi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

    Bench one:
    A TAA
    B AWB

    1. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Exact same dilemma at the moment I'm benching AWB

      1. Teomi
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        I think I will aswell

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour 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
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

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

  26. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 hours ago

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

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

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

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        I think it's true

    2. Khark
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Scenes. Meltdown incoming if true.

      No idea for what it’s worth.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Zaha was pictured.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        Nope, the guy people thought was Zaha was AWB

  27. bobinjo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 hour ago

    Benteke as a differental lads,what do you think?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Did you eat some wild mushrooms for breakfast?

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 hour 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
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      Negative differential. He’s been awful

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

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

  28. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 hour ago

    Good luck Aguero TC's

  29. ABCDEFC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 hour 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
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 hour ago

      D wan bissaka

  30. Khark
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 hour 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
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 hour 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
        8 years, 1 hour 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
