    Anyone know Bookies odds for Aguero and Salah scoring in their respectively??

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

      Be awful odds.

      I saw aguero at 2/5 on sky bet yesterday

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

      Google "fantasy bet bookies advantage" find their GW4 article. They're really helpful.

      1. Waltomade
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks Mate

  5. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No love for Harry Kane? He's my captain this week.

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

      I have him but I can’t not captain aguero

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

      If you have him you have to captain otherwise what’s the point of having a 12.5M player. He has been scoring even if his underlying stats are way behind last season (when he wasn’t scoring weirdly...)

    3. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's always a good captain pick.

  6. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any Aguero related tweets or tittle tattle ?

    1. Waltomade
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus could start ahead of him
      -Guardian 😛

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        😉

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

      You’re too early Hotdogs. 10 minutes before deadline. Then he’ll have been seen somewhere far from Manchester or on crutches or something.

    Fab
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, AWB
    Salah, Mane, B.Silva, Pedro
    Aguero (c), Arnautovic

    Foster, Tomkins, Stephens, Kamara

    Is bench order ok?

    Thanks

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, no further changes needed.

    Shame the FH chip can't be used halfway through a GW, my entire starting 11 plays today !

    Fabs
    Mendy, Robertson, ABW
    Salah, Mane, Walcott, B.Silva
    Kun (c), Arnie, Wilson

  9. poottus
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hmmm start TAA or Fraser? Cheers

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

      TAA

      1. poottus

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ty

  10. afritho
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Do you folks think that Cech is worth putting in on a wildcard?

    I have Alonso, Mendy, and Robertson so no room for an Arsenal defender.

    Alternative GK would be Pickford or Begovic.

    Thanks

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, he's been playing well.

    2. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No too unpredictable if Leno will replace

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

      Not for me

      1. So Troublesome
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You can always drop him for other options later

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

          On a WC you shouldn’t be really planning future transfers I don’t think.

          Each to their own.

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

      No, Arsenal defence has looked so bad so far

  11. Lee8686
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Mitrovic
    B) arnautovic
    C) Tosun
    D) zaha

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

      A

  12. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Start 2 out of
    King
    Fraser
    AWB

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

      AWB
      Fraser

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Max Meyer will be the most transferred in player next GW. Bookmark this

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

      I think you might be right. He was good this week. I was surprised to see Schlupp being bought so heavily this week because Meyer will come in and Schlupp will go. I think Meyer could do great things.

  14. Mondeo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which best to play this week?

    A) Kante
    B) Ings

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      why did you pick Kante? when will you ever play Kante unless bournemouth at home???

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

        Haha so Kante?

        Picked him in my WC squad for some depth & rotation with Ings.

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

        This

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

      Kante

  15. R1C092
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Have had Salah, Mane, Firmino from the start. Money itb. No Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs... Would you:
    A) Mane -> Hazard
    B) Firmino -> Auba
    C) Better ideas

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      A if it’s for free

    3. R1C092
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Its free yeah

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

      A

  16. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best rotating 4,5 GK’s?

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Personally have Patricio Henessey

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fabianski and patricio

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

      I am on Ryan + Begovic.
      I think they rotate fairly well.

      I also own WanB and Bennet, and therefore I dont like Hennesey and Patricio as much tbh.

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      But also have W-B....hmmmm

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

    To Aguero or not to Aguero, that is the question.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      The weekly Kunundrum

      1. Boyd to Sven
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Brilliant.

  18. Mikey44
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What are people doing with Bilva?

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

      Keeping for now. Not a priority.

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

      I ditched for Dilva.

  19. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    wally or maddison as richarlison replaement???

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

      wally for fixtures

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

        Agreed

  20. gdb008
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I have B. Silva in my team. Should I keep him for GW4 or replace him? If he is to be replaced then should I pick D. Silva or Mkhitarayan?

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

      I got Mkhi last week but replaced Bilva with Dilva this week. I think Bilva plays but given he ends up in some really bad positions in terms of FPL I thought Dilva would have the bigger upside.

      1. gdb008
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanx a lot!

  21. LaCazettio
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play Neves or Gundogan?

  22. Champione
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Surely have to give Auba one last chance this week?

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

      Yes

    2. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Of course. Auba will come good.

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

      If you already have him then stick.

  23. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who to bench:

    TAA or Fraser?

  24. Mr_Barbs
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Shaw (433)
    B) Neves (343)

    1. MG13
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw

  25. Typo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Start king or awb?

  26. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Am I mad to captain Alonso?

    1. Typo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      X3 double didgets, id say nom but if you have aguero, I would rather go him

    2. Ed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

    3. Salahbrate
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No. Who wouldn't? He's guaranteed lots of points, and always involved in goals!

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

        Nobody is “guaranteed” anything. That implies 100%, there’s no such thing, just probabilities. And nobody can determine them after three games vs weak opposition.

    4. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not at all. He delivers.

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

      He has 35 points from 3 games so obviously by the logic of people on here that means he will obviously perform the same way every week and end up with nearly 450 points for the season being the most successful player in the history of the game.

      I can only assume you have no Aguero, Salah, Kane, Hazard or any decent mid or attacker.

  27. Salahbrate
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Start AWB, Doherty or Holebas and why?

  28. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Moura or Mkhitaryan???

  29. radawson
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Last WC decision...

    A) TAA + Mitrovic

    Or

    B) Robertson + Jiminez

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

      A

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

    TAA or AWB? Boring I know.
