    Start Kante or Doherty?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Poor options but I'd go Kante.

      Hi guys,
      Quick one for ye,
      A) mane, Fraser, agbam
      B) ozil, eriksen, firmino
      C) Richarlison, Mitrovic
      A and B are for a -4 hit

      1. Will101810
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        C

    3. Will101810
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting conundrum, any advice appreciated:

      A) Mkhitaryan + Pedro --> Schurrle + Richarlison (-4)
      B) Mkhitaryan + King --> Fraser + Mitrovic (-4) ~ Keep Pedro?
      C) Mkhitaryan + Pedro --> Fraser + Richarlison (-4) ~ will have 3 Bournemouth attackers for 1 week then bring in Mitrovic.

      1. statto
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        B for me on that one for this week anyway

      2. Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 8 months ago

          C I think, really like A also. I had an eye on Schurrle but Mendy ballsed that one right up.

      3. ROYALNUTT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        A: Jimenez to Mitro -4
        B: Neves to Richarlison -4
        C: none of the above

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

          Wait a week

      4. Pitch Perfect
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        G2G?

        Hennessy
        Alonso Robbo Trippier
        Hazard Mané Maddison Fraser
        Lukaku Mitro King

        (Bettinelli Moura AWB Holebas)

        Not sure about starting Trip over AWB, and King over Moura. Thoughts?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I think trip over AWB makes sense if you have Hennessey already and are benching Moura. G2G!

          1. Pitch Perfect
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers! Armband to Eden or Romelu? Am tempted to swerve Mane this week in case Liverpool mix it up.

      5. Ramgiri
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Anyone getting in Delph for the short term? I reckon he’s a steal at 5.3.

        1. Klein
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          But mendy may be back any week. He played crap midweek

        2. Pinturicchio10
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I would rather delete my team and change my name Dork Dorkerson.

        3. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Whats the consensus between Maddison and Richarlison.

          1. Ramgiri
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Have both 😀 Fraser in my opinion will not last the distance.

          2. Balls of Steel
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            This

          3. Runaway
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Fraser>Richarlison>Maddison for me

          4. Rock n Grohl
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Got both

        4. BENOIT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier or Walker?

          1. Fresh_From_Desh
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Tripper for set piece threat

          2. WVA
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Walker

        5. Garfield1001
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          On a -4 with this squad:

          Foster
          AWB Alonso Robertson Trippier
          Salah Hazard Maddison Fraser
          Arnie* Aguero

          Fab Stephens Peltier* Ings*

          Very little to come on if any of my 11 doesn’t play - do I need to make another transfer? Thanks

        6. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Morning all - a bit unsure about my 11th player - would you play Doherty away to Utd or Ralls (on pens/corners) home vs. City? On the first at the moment.

          1. LD
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Doherty

            1. Fresh_From_Desh
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Doherty

              1. Sun Jihai
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Thanks chaps

        7. JurgenRocks
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Hart
          Alonso, AWB, Laporte, Trent
          Fraser, Hazard (C), Salah, Richarlison
          Mitrovic, Aguero

          Patricio, Murray, Hojberg, Doherty

          On a WC. My only concern is benching Murray.

          1. AdamJ91
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Play Murray over AWB.

        8. Dont Shoot
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Is it crazy to consider Mitro for captain with Kun, Haz and Mane in team? Anyone going for him over any of "big names"?

          1. LD
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Huge differential. Maybe if you have to play catch up, but imo there are to one many good options that have a better chance of returns so it could put you further behind

            1. LD
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Too many *

          2. Fresh_From_Desh
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I don't think it's the week to go punty.

            I've gone for aguero. City need to bounce back after lyon

          3. SUPER 11
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Will be a regretful decision.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Hey guys, is Fraser a must have on a WC team this week?

          Cheers

          1. LD
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Not a must have, but the best option at his price

        10. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mane, Aguero or Haz

          Always get my cap wrong and it’s killing me 🙁

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Haz mate - most on form right now and Wet Ham are leaky

            1. Mambino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Although I have Lukaku so not sure if to (c) him instead of Haz/Aguero

          2. Y26 Royal
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Very hard decision this week! I've swapped between Aguero and Salah all week!

        11. AdamJ91
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Mendy & Pedro > Shaw & Pogba?

          1. Fresh_From_Desh
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yes this looks good

            2 utd players who are nailed and mourinho favs

        12. R.C
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Chances of Arnie starting?

          1. Ode
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Doubtful

        13. Fresh_From_Desh

          Morning

          Patricio
          Alonso, Robertson, WB
          Haz, Mané, Richarlison, D Silva
          Zaha, Kun (C), Mitro
          Betanelli, Bennett, Neves, Mendy

          Team G2G? On a wildcard

          Thanks

          1. AdamJ91
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Wouldn't have Mendy or even
            possibly Roberson on a WC.

            1. Fresh_From_Desh
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks. Fair points

              I guess km holding onto hope with Mendy.

        14. mm0507
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Johny or Doherty? Doherty is little bit better in offensive stats, but has better potential for bonus points.

        15. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Just logged in to see the Mendy red flag. Am I okay to run with this today and what would you do with him?

          Ederson
          Alonso Robertson AWB
          Hazard Mane Fraser Maddison
          Aguero Zaha Wilson

          Bench: Mendy Bennett Guendouzi

          £2.1m in the bank.

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I'm keeping him with Tomkins coming off the bench to replace him. Your team looks fine for this week.

          On a wildcard...

          Mane or D. Silva?

          Only have Kun from city now, with D Silva I could also take Ederson, but then again. Mendy should return to my team when fit. HELP

          Begovic

          Robbo - Alonso - Trippier

          Hazard - Maddison - Fraser -Mane

          Kun - Mitrovic - Zaha

              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              But if you must, Holebas as a cheap bench option?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Depends on Mendy injury
            Like Sane though but because of Mendy doing so well l ended shipping him

        21. Ribus
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          A) Pedro to Richa/Maddison (-4)
          B) Play Pedro (Stephens as sub)

          Maddison or Richarlison, folks?

          Richarlison seems very clinical, more directly involved in the last third. Everton's star performer.

          Maddison has the best fixture this week. Vardy back.

        25. Gaffa914

          What moves do u prefer?
          A)Walcott and Mendy —> DSilva and Bennett for a -4
          OR
          B) Walcott —> Richarlison

            B

        26. SuperKante
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          on WC,

          A) Maddison and Vardy or

          B) Dsliva and Mitrovic

          I am thinking A, only due to the long-term fixtures of Leicester. please let me know your thoughts

          1. Sid1891
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Agree
            But if Leicester don’t score two players will blank unlike city Liverpool etc
