    For draft - Who to bench?
    A) Arnautovic
    B) Richarlison

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

      Arnie

  2. YouReds
    • 10 Years

    A) Mendy > Trippier
    B) Ings > Zaha
    C) both -4

      B

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

      Neither.

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

        What about Shaw or Mitro / Laca?

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

          I don't think you should sell either of those players. Ings is eligible to return GW7 and Mendy has a "bruised 5th metatarsal" - hardly a career-threatening condition.

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

            Thanks but unfortunately bench strength forces my hand into at least one of these moves

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

    1. OPTA FPL

      5 years, 9 months ago

      Richarlisn

    2. YouReds
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Kun

  4. wernerhedgehog
    • 6 Years

    Salah, a nostalgia pick? 😉

  5. Any Laporte in a Storm
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I just wanted to say, I'm slightly pissed and can't get anyone to answer my phone so I'm coming online for relief ( I live in Australia so it's evening time). I've decided to switch from Salah to Aguero. I don't like Aguero's form away from home but he's just signed a new contract and they were beat midweek so the whipping boy of the league should in theory become the whooping boy as the lads seek revenge. I don't usually look deep into the psyche of players or teams but have seen it backfire on me plenty of times so I'm giving it a shot. Salah, great underlying stats but form not there. Fingers crossed!

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Good luck mate !

    2. Bonus magnet
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero likely to be benched though

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

        Define the "likely", as objectively speaking it's anything but likely that he would not start.

      2. Any Laporte in a Storm
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Why???

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

        No he's not. He played 30 minutes midweek and they have a league cup game midweek so he can rest.

      4. Any Laporte in a Storm
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        You know what, I'm going to get on my high nine-year horse ( played FPL since day 1) and say that as an amateur you don't have enough insight. You might have the information but I say you're drawing the wrong conclusions.

        1. Bonus magnet
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Because you saw 1 In front of my name ? That when I decided to register but have played this many more years so maybe you are drawing wrong (naive )conclusions and yes please come down that high equine

          1. Any Laporte in a Storm
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Hey, I said in my first post I was a bit sloshed. Fair enough on your comments. You didn't answer the initialy question of why though. That's all I really care about, is your interpretation or reveal of information.

            1. Bonus magnet
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Oh yes the why I haven’t answered and you are sloshed and I understand now
              I went to watch city last week and Aguero was really off the pace , he looked tired and with Sané back Pep can now rest Aguero(who is now 30 years old btw) and start Jesus

              1. Any Laporte in a Storm
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                60 minutes for Aguero. I was wrong. Mostly.

  6. eririi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ben Davies or AWB? (Already have hennesy in goal)

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

      awb, rose could easily start

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

      That decision could be made for you. But, I'd go AWB out of fear of a 1 point Davies cameo

  7. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    For this week who would you play on your 11?

    A- Richardson (ars)
    B- Trippier (hud)

    1. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 9 months ago

        B

      • langey

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years

      Heung Min Son starts?
      Alli doubtful.

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

      Thoughts on...

      a) Alexander-Arnold + Ramsey + Vardy

      OR

      b) Trippier + Silva + Mitrovic

      1. Releasebreaks

        B

      2. Jayv807

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

        Awful defense, Simpson and benouane the most pointless picks I’ve see

        1. Shaikh91
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Bench fodder. Not going to be played

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

      Anyone going for LEI defenders (chilwell / Pereira) for the next few gws? Not the best CS potential but decent attacking potential and good fixtures.. ?

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

        I am not taking a hit to get one but if I ownrd I would be happy enough also

      2. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I got Chilwell on WC last week

      3. yakirh
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I have Pereira on WC

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

      Been on Haz (C) all week but Aguero now tempting me.

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

        What abt comparing the same odds for:
        Kun vs Salah?

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

          Feel free but I don’t own Salah

      2. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sane 2 goals

    7. Trying To Win Dalot
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Gtg?
      Fab
      Alonso/Robbo/AWB/Rico
      Salah/Mané/Richarl/Maddison
      Kun (c)/Wilson

      McCarthy/Mendy/Ings/Billings

      Rico or Daniels to start? Obviously missing Hazard as well but have resisted temptation as Mané playing against former club..
      thoughts greatly appreciated

      I also wanted to say that I found Triggerlips' commentary earlier in the week really helpful. I've always been trigger happy as it were when it comes to getting transfers in quick and his attitude of patience was nice to hear. I'm going to settle my nerves and go for a higher leagues standing. Always done top 10% but never anything remarkable.

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

        I think we didn’t get to hear how great of a manager he actually is. He didn’t look at ease on the vid when he’s actually great on his pod

    15. ForEvra Young

            Ah, I wouldn't take the hit if you have bench cover. Trippier a rotation worry so not for me. Could pay off of course.

    22. TeddiPonza

      All i have to say is this is the week to take bold captaincy decision because of so many options to choose from. Back your gut for once and Go Maverick if you are thinking to.

      Good luck
