    Best 5.3max def?

    A) Shaw

    B) Leicester (Pereira, Chilwell)

    C) Tarkowski

    D) Other (not TAA)

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Would lean towards A or B. Perhaps A (as I just got rid of DDG lol.)

      From B, though Chilwell is putting up lots of better stats, I feel like Perreria has the edge at the moment.

    2. LÖrKingMuch
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      D) Tomkins could be a good option if looking to free up funds

  2. Gaffa914

    Are Monreal and Bellerin viable replacements for mendy?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Viable... Yes. However, I'm just not confident about Arsenal's defence.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No one can replace mendy.

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      0 clean sheets.

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No. Arsenal’s defence is terrible.

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I have Pedro, with Neves as my only bench cover (Other surprise benchings could hurt me. .)

    A) Richarlison (-4)
    B) Maddison (-4)
    C) Hold

    1. Rex Lapis
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    this guy is hinting that he knows the line up for Liverpool suggesting that it will be strong. He is also hinting that Salah starts. he co-owns Anfield Press.

      Shock developments, Liverpool name a strong side

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years

      I think he does get the team but had to stop tweeting it due to FPL gimps

      1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        FPL gimps are ruining all the ITK line-ups

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yep. ExWHUEmployee the latest to stop I see due to being harassed by people called FPL Penguin etc

            Jonty?

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I see no line up

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        Sorry misread your post

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Of course it will be strong. Klopp won't make any big changes

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        i dont think he will. theres speculation that Shaqiri starts but i think he starts midweek

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Shaqiri and Salah could both start? Shaqiri against his old manager.

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah, Shaqiri could start in midfield.
            Oooh, didnt notics that. Plot twist

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Best hope those Egyptian flags do not represent who is being benched 😀

      (I for one certainly hope not...)

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        that would be a disaster

  7. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all. What do you think about this team?

    Henno
    AWB - Tripps - Alonso
    Pereyra - Haz - Maddison - Dilva
    Kun (C) - Vardy - Wilson

    Bench: Davies - Mendy - Ward

    Feel like my faith in Ben Davies is being heavily challenged. Likely to be rotated this weekend and been very unlucky with points when he has played.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Davies to Robertson?

      There’s no point owning Davies if you can’t even play him.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I would play him if there hadnt been a CL game midweek where he played 90 and Rose played 1. Going him to TAA probably after LIV fixtures ease up.

  8. Sihproma
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    i'm on WC, need advices

    Ederson
    Roberson Alonso Mendy Bisaka Holebas
    Hazzard Pogba Moura Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Wilson Gray

    confuse about no Mane, salah 🙁

    1. Tricknova
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Downgrade Mendy, upgrade Pogba to Mane if you can.

      1. Sihproma
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        any update about mendy injury, stll want keep kim if his injury not serious

        1. Critical Observer
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          It's a bruised 5th metatarsal, hardly season-ending innit.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mendy > Doherty
      Gray > mitro/Zaha
      Moura > Hughes
      Pogba > Mane

  9. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on the best option for this week?

    A) Neves & Arnautovic > Fraser & Wilson/king (-4)

    B) Neves & Mendy > Fraser & 5.7 defender -laporte, delph, Chilwell, Doherty, holebas (-4)

    C) Pedro & Mendy > Fraser & Trippier (-4)

    D) Pedro > Fraser

  10. Puncheon Guly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A Mendy to Laporte
    B Cairney to 4.5 (ward, Hjobjerg)

    A means I get a better chance of returns, B means I get probably 2 points and don't have to worry about buying Mendy back (got him at 6 so would need him to lose 0.2 before I can afford him, plus another transfer wasted)

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B if you have decent defensive cover.

      1. Puncheon Guly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bennett

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Might not get a CS, but not a huge deal if not.

          I think downgrading to that 4.4/4.5 mid is a big plus as it frees up cash (and if youh have no other important moves to make). I'm in a similar position, albeit with Neves.

          1. Puncheon Guly
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks. It's good to hear another opinion.

  11. manu4life99
    • 14 Years

    Captain Kun or Haz?

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Update on Arnie?

  13. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Would anyone be so kind to tell the goalscoring odds for Mane and Aguero? Anytime goal scorer

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mane 45%
      Aguero 63%

      1. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thank you!!

  14. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Start B. Silva (A Car) or Richarlison (A Ars)??

    THanks

  15. BDMC5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best 4.5 goalie for this week ?

    1. BDMC5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Already have AWB

    2. Hazardous1983
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ryan

  16. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who have you given the armband? Can’t decide. Mane has the home fixture but has slowed down. Hazard is nailed, Aguero is Aguero. Help.

    1. Hazardous1983
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same dilemmas

    2. Critical Observer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same but between Salah-Hazzy-Sergio; not much in it, I'm quite probable to go with the wrong one.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same problem here. Currently on Kun

  17. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fab (rui patricio)
    Awb alonso walker holebas (tomkins)
    Salah moura walcott hazard(stephens)
    Aguero wilson (jiminez)

    Is that team good to go.

    Start walcott jiminez or tomkins

  18. West Hammered
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Good to go?

    Hennessey
    Alonso AWB S Cook Smalling
    Hazard Salah (C) D Silva Maddison
    Aguero (vc) Zaha
    Subs: Stek, Kante, Bennett, Success

    0FT 0.9 ITB

    Captain choice so tough this week but going to give the most expensive player in the game a last chance and if he doesn’t deliver I’ll have to think about moving him on.

  19. MGD
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Arnie are you okay? Are you okay, Arnie?

  20. Planet Head
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is Robbo really the best Mendy replacement considering his fixtures?

    1. Hazardous1983
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ive.gone with walker big risk

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cant trust trippier and robertsons fixtures turn next week

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Trippier

    3. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Went with Chilwell. Trying to maintain my perfect record of only red arrows so far

  21. Winks Club
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    TAA or Shaw?

    1. wilsonito
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Taa

  22. wilsonito
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Shaw, Bellerin or Laporte? On a WC

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw

  23. Lexi2014
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Good to go? Or should I ship Mkhi?

    Foster
    Azpi / Boly / Cedric (AWB / Suttner)
    Salah / Hazard / Bilva / Mkhi (Chabolah)
    Aguero / Arnie / Mitrovic

    1FT and 0.1 in the bank

    1. wilsonito
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mkhi to rich or fraser

  24. LanMi
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    My team looks like this:

    Patricio-McCarthy

    AWB-Robertson-Holebas-Alonso-Yedlin

    Silva-Richarlison-Mane-Hazard-Maddison

    Jimenez-Wilson-Aguero

    Bold ones are sure starters, but I'm stuck with the others. Let's go with the defence at the begining, really don't know who to start between Yedlin and AWB. I think Palace team is average this season and I don't see them in top 10. Newcastle has shown that they can play very well against some big names. Their defence is actually pretty good so far and I see their chances in this game. Also have the problems with Richarlison vs Holebas. Richarlison is back from suspension, that Brazilian guy was on fire in first few GWs, but as he didn't play quite a few matches I don't know will he bang some goals against a shaky Arsenal defence. Holebas goes up against Fulham on Craven Cottage, Mitro's on fire recently without doubt, but Fulham has one of the weakest defences in the league. What 's your thoughts?

    Also has 1 FT unused.

    Curious to hear your opinion.

  25. Mini Mahouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Need WC help. My team is currently:

    Ederson
    Alonson - Walker* - Shaw - Bissaka
    Hazard - Mané - Richarlison - Fraser
    Aguero - Mitrovic

    (4.0) - Jimenez - Camarasa - Bennett

    *Replace with Mendy when he gets back

    I have 3.7 ITB and trying to decide where that money would be best spent - Would appreciate any advice

  26. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Is Heung-Min Son too much of a risk?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yup, IMO

  27. GE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    1) Keep Mendy when W-B comes in? (have 1FT)
    2) Keep Walcott? (have Fraser)
    3) Captain Salah or Aguero?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      1) Yes
      2) I’d rather have Maddison
      3) Salah

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, regarding 2: Wouldn’t you be little bit afraid of Richarlison?

    2. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      1) Yes.
      2) Rich in.
      3) Salah.

    3. LÖrKingMuch
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      1yes, 2yes, 3dunno am on Salah at the moment

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    B) Tarkowsky

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Billing. As you should do every week. He should only be there to come on in an emergency.

  29. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best mid option till 9.2 M?

    Pogba a good shout? Eriksen maybe? Richarlison?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      DSilva

    2. SUPER 11

      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba

    3. Eytexi
