    I have the fear going into his gw with only Alonso as Chelsea cover!

    Should I...

    A) Bilva > Pedro
    B) Bilva,Wally,PVA > Haz,Ward,Boly -8
    C) Hold and do a mini WC next week

    -8 does seem wrong but Haz could well make up that difference over Pedro this week alone!

      Yet you don’t fear selling Bilva before Fulham? 😀

      1. WrightnBright
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not as much, no!

    2. Differential C (Mark)

      Very close, but C

    3. Jay_

      8 too much if you don't cap him

      1. WrightnBright

        Capt Sergio I think

        1. Jay_
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Just save imo

  2. George James

    Wan Bissaka a doubt for the weekend after missing the England U21 game. This game week is looking grim 🙁

    Hennessey (Hart)
    Shaw - Robertson - Mendy (Wan-Bissaka - Bednerak)
    Fraser - B.SIlva - Salah - Hazard - Mkhitaryan
    Mitrovic - Aubameyang (Kamara)

    ITB 0.3

    1) Transfer Mkhitaryan to Maddison
    2) Transfer Mkhitaryan to Ghezzal & Shaw to Alonso (-4 hit)
    3) Leave

    Thoughts on options?

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      3

    2. Minglu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Leave ... see how mkhi goes

    3. Superbadhine
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw, Fraser, Mkhi, Bilva, WanBis - all at risk of not playing. For that reason i'd say 2

  4. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one:

    1-Mkhitarian (vs NEW Away)
    2-Van Dijk (vs TOT Away)
    3-Jota (vs BUR Home)

  5. Jay_
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Purely based on minutes played (or likely to be played) Is Lingard safer than Pedro over the next 3/4 GW's?

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would say so yes

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

    2. DOGS
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, have chelsea cover though, hazard/alonso

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers. Got those 2. Wanted Lukaku for the fixtures but injuries and 4m cheaper is pushing me to JLingz (coverage trap)

    3. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

      1. Jay_

        Cheers

  6. Mr. Funny Name
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bit of help here? Both would be for a hit

    A) Bilva + Robertson > Hazard + Bennett

    B) Bilva + Duffy > Alonso + 6.4 mid (Perreya/Fraser/Gray?)

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just keep Bilva. He's ok I think

      1. Mr. Funny Name
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Would like one of Alonso or Hazard going into this game week tho

        1. Jay_
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Rob to Bennett and unsure on the other makeweight, for a hit means save and reassess next week imo. Something will come up

    2. caldracula

  8. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    RMWCT

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Alonso, Mendy, Pereira (AWB, Bennett)
    Hazard, Mane, Pedro, Schurrle (Ward)
    Aguero, Lukaku, Wilson

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Like it

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kaku and Schurlle could come good. G2G IMO

    3. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nice. Maybe Lingz over Ped but can't fault it

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Pedro will become Richarlison in 2 weeks

    4. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks guys, appreciate your feedback

    5. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Should I take Pereira or Rico?

      1. caldracula
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Periera

        1. Who Ate All Depays?
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Rico would allow me to take Lingard for Schurrle

        2. Who Ate All Depays?
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Still you'd say Pereira

          1. caldracula
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah not much between Schurrle and Lingard

  9. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hey Folks, anything here worth a transfer or save?

    1ft 0.5 itb

    Patrício
    Alonso Mendy TAA
    Pedro Salah Mané BSilva Mkhitaryan
    Agüero King

    Hamer Wan-Bissaka Kamara Peltier

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah save

    2. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Save

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      TAA, Bilva, Mkhi, Pedro, all slight risks and no bench could be an issue. Maybe Peltier to Boly or Bennett(which will become a risk with Dendoncker there)

  10. dbuk87
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pereyra+Alonso or Dsilva+Cedric?

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      P + A

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pereyra+Alonso

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      P+A definitely

    4. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      PA

      1. dbuk87
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Dsilva+Cedric it is then

  11. HAMMERTIME107
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Look okay for this Game Week ???

    Ederson
    Mendy | Wan-Bissaka | Alonso
    Pedro | Lucas Moura | Salah | Maddison
    Arnautovic | Aguero | Lacazette

    Sub - Speroni | Stephens | Tomkins | Peltier

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Talk of a possible AWB injury so monitor that as you’ve no cover on bench

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No injury. Squad was rotated

    2. Minglu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No mane and hazard= risky if wc wilson for arnautovic bournmouth good fixtures amd hammers are shite

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah save your FT

  12. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A or B? (Cedric + Maddison + Lukaku vs 5.9 def + Moura + Vardy)
    A:
    Ryan (Hamer)
    Mendy Alonso CEDRIC* (WanB Bennett)
    Hazard Mané MADDISON* Pedro (Hojbjerg)
    Agüero Mitrovic LUKAKU*

    B:
    Ryan (Hamer)
    Mendy Alonso 5.9* (WanB Bennett)
    Hazard Mané L.MOURA* Pedro (Hojbjerg)
    Agüero Mitrovic VARDY*

    Cheers

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

      B... consider 4.5m def and upgrade to rotating or premium keeper

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, keepers where I always spend the minimum, as long as I have a certain starter I'm happy

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B.
      5.9=Bavies/Aldy?

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I think then I'd probably just go Pereira and keep 0.8 itb

  13. Superbadhine
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who needs shipping out with priority?

    All have good fixtures but are in crap form or rotation risk

    Mkhi, Townsend, Tosun

    0.4 ITB 1FT

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would keep all of them for now, Mkhi maybe the priority, Tosun and Townsend should get some points soon with those fixtures. Evaluate after the GW.

      1. Superbadhine
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers. I keep thinking this but the worry of seeing 0's across the three is stressing me out ha

  14. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Haven’t watched the SC yet, so I’m just going to shut and and hope for absolute chaos this week with big returns from the likes of:
    Salah, King, Zaha, Arnie, Firm, Alli, Kane, Bilva, Walcott, Mkhi, Robbo

    While these lads should blank:
    Mane, Aguero, Lukaku, Mitro, Alonso, Mendy, Doherty, Maddison, Hazard, Pedro

    The template is too strong. Let’s have some

    CARNAAAAGE!!!!!!

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Some people just want so see the world burn

    2. Superbadhine
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I agree with 2 of your hopes for big hitters

      I disagree with 3 of your hopes for lack lustre performances

      So on balance, I hope the template does well ha!

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Haha I have players in both categories as well 🙂

        Just want a spanner thrown in the works to be honest

  15. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I was planning to WC after GW5 to replace the following:

    TAA - Mane - Pedro - Neves - Masuaku - Auba - Ings
    to....
    Shaw - Salah - Rich - Fraser/Milner - Vardy - Mitrovic

    But now considering saving WC and taking 2x (-4) hits over next two weeks by switching:

    GW6 - Auba/Ings -> Vardy/Mitro (-4)
    GW7 - Mane/Pedro -> Salah/Rich (-4)

    And adjust the rest later. Good strategy or still play the WC and do it all in one go?? Thoughts appreciated!

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Which one sounds good?

    1) BSilva Wally to Pedro Lucas/Maddison -4
    2) BSilva to Pedro and keep Wally - WB plays in case he is out
    3) Nothing...?

  17. boggy94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why does Trippier never get mentioned in the same bracket as Alonso, Mendy and Robertson? He takes most corner and indirect free kicks and has scored a direct free kick already. He also said right up there for chances created, successful crosses and touches in the final third despite missing the first GW. I think with his run of fixtures I'd rather have him over Robertson

    1. stat
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He's much more likely to be rotated than the other 3 since Poch has a history of rotating his fullbacks

    2. Bird Raymond
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He'll definitely get rotated around Champions League.
