      Unless other three defenders are better than AWB

    4. BeDreamin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Newcastle have scored again Man City, Spurs and Chelsea this season. I'd go jimenez.

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

        Jimenez doesnt play for Newcastle.

  2. Captain Vantastic™

    Aguero will be making his 300th appearance against Cardiff today!

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Is that a fact ???.....If true Armband moved from Haz to Kun

      1. GE
        • 7 Years

        Lol

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

      And he’s just signed a new contract extension. Hattrick incoming....hopefully

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

      1 goal to celebrate ever 100 games 😉

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

      That's a lot of appearances vs. Cardiff - more proof there are way too many cocacola cups leading to fixture congestion!

  3. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 14 Years

    Bottomed:

    Any late adjustments required?

    Hennessey
    Alonso Wan-Bissaka Holebas (Mendy, Bennett)
    Salah Hazard Fraser Richarlison (Billing)
    Kun[c] Mitro Wilson

    1. Garlana

    Hennessey
    AWB, Robertson, Alonso
    Salah, hazard, Maddison, Fraser, Richarlison
    Aguero, mitro

      Gtg. Pls check mine above, q similar

        Aha!

      2. Garlana

        I did 🙂

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Two Patrício

      Who the other def?

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

    What's the consensus on Mendy?

    I feel like it may be a bad week this week with some shocking bench warmers e.g. Mane etc

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not going to risk that lol wouldn’t shock me to see him play

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

    Would you play Walcott or Wan-Biss?
    Already playing van Aanholt....

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

      Probably wan

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

      Walcott for sure

  7. jm2126
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    HELP PLEASE!

    A) Firmino D.Silva Shaw
    B) Mitrovic Mane Trippier

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

      B

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

        Definitely B

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

      B standout!

    3. jm2126
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why so definitely B. I think Firmino is getting underrated. He's had very consistent scores this season and Mane could get rested

    4. BeDreamin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      100% B.

      Firmino's stats aren't great and fixtures about to get tricky. I don't trust ManU's defence. D.Silva not 100% nailed

      1. jm2126
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Fair points. I'll go with B

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not fair comparisons

      Mitrovic Mane Trippier

      Schurle (Richalison) 6.8m Firmino.

      I would go the latter. Cheaper also

    6. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Leave defender out and ask

      a) Firmino Schurle/Rich
      b) Mitro Mana

      Option a) more attracrivr not least because its cheaper

  8. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Holebas
    B) AWB
    C) Wilson
    D) Moura

    1. Eytexi

      2. stuarto

    5. Eytexi

      Kun

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

      I would captain Salah but I don't have him. Aguero for me.

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

      Mohamed

    10. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

    11. Powers106

      Salah c and vc Robbo (I have an odd feeling Salah might get the day off)

    12. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Aubameyang

    13. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Repost.

      Play Yedlin or Jimenez? Why?

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

        Jiminez a beast so him. What do youu think on my situation below?

      2. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Play the attacker who's playing against the team that concede stupid goals.

      3. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Jimenez ..... no doubt about it. 🙂

      4. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Jimenez. Can see Palace scoring which ruins Yedlin

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

      Play 1:
      A)AWB
      B) Jiminez

      Also have Hennessy and Shaw if that does matter

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        AWB

      2. SUPER 11
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        AWB

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

      Salah just ahaead by 15 votes in the poll

    16. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      City will win 6-0

      Liverpool will win 3-0

      City and Liverpool players should score the majority of the goals.

      Hope that helps.

      Going Aguero captain...don't let me down Sergio

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

        Same. He's the best pick this week

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          yep, I've considered a few of the others, but Aguero feels like the one this week. Going to celebrate his contract extension with a 4 goal haul 😀

    18. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Stay calm and captain KUN!

      1. SUPER 11
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        haha

    19. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Best 8.5M keeper option?

      Ryan + Button, or punt on a different 4.5 and forget the backup space.

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

        Depends what you do with the other 0.5. After 2 gws Ryan will be great

    20. BRONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      On wildcard would you rather have Lukaku and TAA or Lacazette and Robertson?

      1. SUPER 11
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        B

    21. Super Nashwan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sellingb Walcott
      Should I sign richarlison or Maddison?
      Maddison has amazing fixtures but not sure Leicester will win many games.
      Richarlison seems a better option than Walcott and could be just as explosive as first two games

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

        Richarlison for me

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        madds

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

      About to lock the team.

      Ederson
      Robertson Mendy Alonso AWB
      Fraser mane Hazard(C) maddison
      Aguero King

      Hamer mkhi kabasele kamara .

      Mkhi will be changed to one of dilva or Pogba

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

        Sell Mkhi this week

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

          I will.
          Probably Pogba in

    23. SUPER 11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba to score

      1. Jayv807
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I brought him in this week, so I hope you are right

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

      Any of these worth a hit (-4)?

      A) Mendy > Trippier
      B) Arnautovic > Mitrovic
      C) Arnautovic > Wilson/King

      Ederson
      Shaw, TAA, Alonso, AWB
      Hazard(vc), Mane, Fraser, Maddison
      Aguero(c), Zaha

      Stekeleberg, Arnautovic*, Mendy*, Neves

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

        All good moves but none worth a hit

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

        B. Trippier is a rotation risk. Like Mitro-Schürrle combo

    25. SUPER 11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why no one talking about Kane (C) this GW?

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

        Spurs' incompetence

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

        He's been absent so far this season

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

        We have seen him play in the last 4 months

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

          This

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

      There are a lot of superstitious reasons to captain Kun today.

      - He just signed a new contract with City
      - It's his 300th appearance

      Next we'll hear his sister just had a baby...

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

          The match is refereed by Oliver so that's highly unlikely.

        • 13 Years

        300th appearance .

    27. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      help...in a tricky position

      A) Mendy to Trippier
      B) Mendy to Robbo
      C) Save FT

      Defence is Shaw, Mendy, Alonso, WB, Doherty.

      Got Mendy at 6.0 so will lose 0.2

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

        B

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        a

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

        I can't get my head around anyone willing to dump someone as integral as Mendy for what's a "bruised metatarsal", but each to their own.

        C, obviously.

      4. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        C

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

        C because you'll want him back and you have a bench player to come on as a substitute in the meantime

    28. TooDifficuIt
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Would you do Arnie to Giroud for -4?

      1. SUPER 11

        Noooo

    29. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      The cat amongst pigeons moment would be seeing Mendy starting and Aguero benched

      1. The Special Wan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Impossible as it will show pep in a bad light in the future.
