  1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Time to lose Pedro then?

    Worse possible thing that could happen. Both start , Willian scores. He's even got captaincy

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Got Pedro in on wildcard
      Worst decision ever.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Yer brought him in last week. I was warned so blame myself. Annoying

      2. Oven Glover
        8 years, 28 days ago

        You sure? I got Morata when Vardy got suspended...

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          8 years, 28 days ago

          You win. Morata is terrible.

          1. Oven Glover
            8 years, 28 days ago

            Never again.

    2. Ronaldo7
      8 years, 28 days ago

      and he got a smililar chance to the one that willian scored, but put it straight at the keeper

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      I’m considering ditching him this week for Richarlison.

      Planned to wait until the next GW for this move but with Pedro a big doubt for a start (as in it’s hard to say he will start or Willian due to both playing tonight) and Arsenal’s weakness on the right, this may be a good week to make the Richarlison move.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        8 years, 28 days ago

        That's what I'm thinking for a -4

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 28 days ago

          When it’s for a hit I’m not so sure.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            8 years, 28 days ago

            I also have Arnie and Mendy with only AWB who plays on bench
            I can't risk it

            1. Smurf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              8 years, 28 days ago

              Arnie should play and AWB is an great replacement for Mendy (who I will have for him too).

              1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                8 years, 28 days ago

                Cheers Smurf.
                Guess the injury settles it though. I ask ya

      2. TomSaints
        8 years, 28 days ago

        I'm thinking the same. But I don't have Fraser and think he's got so much form with good fixtures that he maybe scores better than Richarlison...

    4. MTPockets
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Looking that way, although won't be this week for me.

  2. memo
    8 years, 28 days ago

    My team at present is
    Hart, Hammer
    Bennett, Bissakka, Alonso Mendy,Robertson Robertson

    Mane, Hazard, Moura, Billing, Holberg
    Mitro, Lukaku, Aguero

    thinking of taking Mendy and Billing out for Shaw and Fraser for a -4 point hit.
    Yes or no?

    1. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      No no no. At least wait for news on Mendy. Shaw played midweek so wouldnt expect him to feature this weekend.

      1. PrettyDick
        8 years, 28 days ago

        two separate things, one: yeah, it's smart to wait for Mendy news (even though he wasn't pictured in training today, so it's starting to seem very unlikely that he'll play). And even if he doesn't play you have good defensive options on the bench so stil not an important transfer in itself imo.

        Second: Just because Shaw played in midweek I wouldn't say that says much about his chances of featuring this weekend. If anything, with Mous comments on him (and Dalot) he might very well start. Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Lindelof, Smalling etc are all likely to start despite playing midweek,

        But like you say, wait for press conferences at least.

  3. Totalfootball
    8 years, 28 days ago

    What do you guys think of the arsenal lineup ?

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Emery putting out the second team. Wonder if he'll give Auba 60 mins and Laca 30 mins though to get their confidence up

    2. Ronaldo7
      8 years, 28 days ago

      As a Ramsey owner, very happy!

      1. Totalfootball
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Cool !

      2. FPL Pillars
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Happy with 2 points per week?

        1. Ronaldo7
          8 years, 28 days ago

          just happy that he's likely to play on the weekend. With Mendy, Pedro and Ings in my squad, i cant be having anyone else rested!

    3. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Laca is first choice

      1. Totalfootball
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Great

  4. Balotellitubbies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Patricio - Hamer
    Alonso - Robertson - Mendy - A. Smith - AWB
    Salah - Mane - Bilva - Fraser - Masuaku
    Aguero - Arnautovic - Kamara

    2FT and 1.9ITB.

    A. Bilva&Kamara -> Rich&Mitro
    B. Something else?

    1. zon
      8 years, 28 days ago

      A gives you a bit of depth that you need, so A

  5. Greko82
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Don’t see many teams having Vardy. Everyone is on Maddison and while I understand that Vardy has not hit form yet I believe he can score big in the coming game weeks...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Indeed

    2. Ronaldo7
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Team structures seem to be the big hurdle, the majority seem to be set up for Aguero + 2 from Arnie, Zaha, Mitro, Wilson, Ings, Jiminez. Hard to find the extra 2m+ thats needed for the upgrade. Great option though with their upcoming fixtures.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Kun + any 2 from Mitro/Zaha/King/Arnie/Wilson/Jiménez is the best way to set up now

  6. Wakanda
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Hows my WC team ?
    Its quite different from the template.

    Spreoni/Foster
    Tripper/Robertson/Mendy AWB/3.9m
    Mane/Pogba/Ali/Richardlison/Ramsey
    Lukaku/Wilson/Giroud

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Quite nice. Wasting funds with one of the 8 attackers on the bench each week.
      Don't like Ramsey as a pick. Alli is decent, but worse than David Silva for me

      1. Wakanda
        8 years, 28 days ago

        That make sesne, ramsey out to upgrade pogba to D silva ? not sure if he will start

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Giroud to Mitrovic
      Ali to Hazard
      Ramsey do Maddison

      Worth it?
      Sorry to mess you around

  7. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 28 days ago

    I'm really annoyed Mitro is likely to rise before the deadline 😐

    1. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Think of him like a 7m forward.. and you’ll feel better

  8. Monkey Hanger
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Poor attempt on goal by Willian.

  9. Ninja Škrtel
    8 years, 28 days ago

    really struggling with this...keep salah?? bring hazard for mane? or salah? wait??

    options are

    a. Laporte-Hazard-Richarlson-Salah

    b. Robertson-Hazard-Richarlson-Mane

    1. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      So Salah/Laporte vs Mane/Robertson? Difficult. If you are not sure, stick to what you got.

  10. tafrère
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Could Emerson start at the week end in place of Alonso or is he def injured ?

  11. Ronnies
    8 years, 28 days ago

    ederson
    mendy - robo - alonso - wan bissaka
    salah (c) - mane - walcott - maddison
    aguero - zaha

    hamer - westwood - bennett - ings

    Yes or no for my free transfer ? it allows mane or salah to hazard GW 7

    walcott >> fraser ...

    Thanks guys.

    1. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Yes

  12. openerhm
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Mane + Arnie + King > Hazard + Jimenez + Quaner (-4)
    YES or NO?

    1. Point-one short
      8 years, 28 days ago

      No

    2. Team Bobcat
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Oh lordy

    3. zon
      8 years, 28 days ago

      No way

    4. Team Bobcat
      8 years, 28 days ago

      I would take probably take a (-4) to go the other way

    5. jtreble
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Not for me.

    6. FPL Pillars
      8 years, 28 days ago

      That’s crazy

  13. Bialystrzelec
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Being realistic, is it likely for Salah to drop before next GW?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      8 years, 28 days ago

      He has had almost half a million transfers out, and hasn't dropped yet.

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      The market is slow so it won’t happen tonight. Can’t understand why anyone not on WC would ditch this close to Southampton at home.

      1. Bialystrzelec
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Frankly speaking I'm on WC and consider signing Salah after missing him from beggining. His stats are just can't to ignore.

        1. Bialystrzelec
          8 years, 28 days ago

          Hard to ignore*

    3. Ronaldo7
      8 years, 28 days ago

      i'm hoping he does. FPL statistics have him at 96% of the way there. Fantasy football fix only have him at 78.3% but i have found fpl statistics to be more accurate when i've checked this season, im happy to be corrected if anyone is more ITK though.

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Something strange seems to happen on fpl statistics once players hit the mid-90s. I think he will drop Saturday night.

  14. Patch
    8 years, 28 days ago

    LacAssential!!!!

    1. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Just the team I wanted to see. Laca is defo coming into my team this week.

      Next 4 fixtures are unreal.

      1. Patch
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Who are your other forwards Mitro and Wilson?

        1. Pras (FPL)
          8 years, 28 days ago

          Kun and Arnie

          But without Salah. Mid is otherwise template- Haz, Mane, Bilva, Fraser, 4.5

  15. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Does the article heavily favour Wilson over Mitro? Or does it only put Wilson slightly ahead?

    1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      8 years, 28 days ago

      It's only £15 ...

      1. Patch
        8 years, 28 days ago

        You could get a tasty KFC bucket tho...

        1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
          8 years, 28 days ago

          this is true ... not considered that !

        2. Marvin.
          8 years, 28 days ago

          Or a nice bottle of Jim Beam.

      2. Monkey Hanger
        8 years, 28 days ago

        More than a weeks wages in some countries of the world.

        1. Marvin.

          Bloody Tories!

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      I’d go Mitrovic. He’s had tougher fixtures. Should be on pens too.

  16. Lone Wolf FPL
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Best combo:

    a) 4.5 GK, 4.0 GK, Doherty, DSilva, Wilson
    b) 4.5 GK x 2, TAA, Richarlison, Zaha

    1. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      A

    2. arndff_
      8 years, 28 days ago

      A out of those

      What are you doing? Did you activate your WC?

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        8 years, 28 days ago

        noo 🙂
        just checking my options if (when) I will do it in few weeks. hope I wont be outpriced and checking it 🙂 too much free time today 😛

  17. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Given Pellegrini comments are people holding onto Arnie or shipping?

    1. Team Bobcat
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Some are holding some have shipped and some will ship.

      I own and will more than likely ship for now

      1. Patch
        8 years, 28 days ago

        For whom??

        1. Team Bobcat
          8 years, 28 days ago

          Mitro winning over Wilson followed by Deeney 🙂

    2. zon
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Depending on the Mendy news. With a transfer to spare might as well ship for Mitro. Fairly likely Arnie will play this weekend, but the same recurring problem is worrying.

    3. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 28 days ago

      We are dog poo without him it’s whether or not we decide to try and beat Chelsea which will be hard or let them have the game and keep Arnie wrapped up

      1. Team Bobcat
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Really hope they keep chelsea quiet

    4. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      The comments say he is hopeful he will play. He is essential to everything they do - no way he’s not playing if even 75% fit

      I do get the big picture concern that in medium term this may become a 4 week absence

      1. Pras (FPL)
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Fwiw I am holding

    5. Shearer & Sutton
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe holding.

    6. Team Bobcat
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Yellow flag aside his fixrures are dog poor over the competition. May as well swap him out. Less headache

    7. DAZZ
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Im getting rid of him for now, Mitrovic in.

  18. SUPER 11
    8 years, 28 days ago

    Goal Thirsty Salah against Southampton. Awaiting a 15 pointer

    1. Pacer.
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Salah's been goal thirsty the last three games and failed to register

      1. SUPER 11
        8 years, 28 days ago

        He wont fail always.... Just waiting to explode

    2. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Not thirsty - he threw the bottle away

      1. SUPER 11

    1. Oven Glover
      8 years, 28 days ago

      I’ve heard that Club Tijuana are interested in Morata. Apparently they can offer him a part time job alongside his football duties. Something about a show...

      Can you field 11?

      1. arndff_
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Yes. With no bench though.

        Kamara Peltier Ings

        1. arndff_
          8 years, 28 days ago

          I also have Mendy.

          1. Oven Glover
            8 years, 28 days ago

            You shouldn’t feel bad about taking a -4 in that case.

    2. AWESOME-O
      8 years, 28 days ago

      I would

    3. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Yep

    4. Silecro
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Nay for me, i always look at -4 as one goal from attacker, which means mitro needs to score two to pay off, hold if you have solid cover at bench

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Yes you will likely make that back and some on Saturday

    Is Giroud already a great option or wait to see some more starts?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Is there a single quote in there?

      1. Oven Glover
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Nope but they aren’t going to risk anything.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Not at all conclusive either way imo.

  28. THFC4LIFE

    As a Mendy owner, who should be first on my bench? WB or Holebas?

    #Firstworldfplproblems

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 28 days ago

      Holebas after reading the Article above

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 28 days ago

        Ye I saw that, most crosses conceding from right flank. Surely WB has more chance of a cleanie though?

  29. Patch
