    Mkhit & Mane > Hazard & Fraser for -4?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just mkhi out

    2. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      wouldn't sell mane for a hit this week personally

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

      Same dilemma, I just got Fraser in

    4. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not mane

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

    Aguero, Mane, Salah or Zaha for captain?

    1. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      i'm going kun

    2. odannyboys
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sergio

    4. Dele
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

  3. Indio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So, I'm a wildcarder determined to go with 4.5/Hamer (I'll accept risk for what it lets me do further forward).

    On that basis, is it better to go with Henn for now and switch out when CP's fixtures turn, or set and forget another keeper? (Thinking Pat, or maybe even Hart?)

    Thanks all, and good luck today.

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

      Switching between cheap GKs is a good way to burn through those precious FTs. I'd steer towards someone who you'll be happy to keep until the 2nd wildcard.

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'm in a similar situation. Thinking Hennessy for the next few then maybe a switch to Ryan when he is 4.4 and Brightons games improve. I'm not keen on Patricio as Wolves defenders seem much better value.

    3. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depends if you want to double, cos I assume you've got AWB and a Wolves defender.

      Jonty spoke very persuasively about Hart's potential on the scoutcast this week, so maybe him

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

        That's very interesting and helpful - many thanks for feedback all.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      What Mark is gonna do this gw?

    4. odannyboys
      • 12 Years

      Haz or Aguero?

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Mane

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sheep

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

    On a WC, any thoughts?

    Ederson
    Alonso - Walker - Shaw - Bissaka
    Hazard - Salah - Richarlison - Fraser
    Aguero - Mitrovic

    (4.0 - Jiménez - Camarasa - Bennet)

    0,5 ITB

    Not convinced on Salah for that price but found myself with 3,7 ITB and Mané instead of him, so decided to upgrade.

    --Bottomed--

    1. GinjaWhinja
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Nice!
      Similar team to mine - except got Sterling in midfield too.

  9. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can someone help me out. Who do you think is most likely to haul and why?

    A aguero
    B hazard

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard. Form.

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Money talks bull walks.

      Paddy power have Aguero ahrad by a country mile

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

        The also had him far ahead last week... just saying

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

      Aguero. Great form against newly promoted sides.

  10. Shaikh91
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this Wc team..3-4-3

    Ederson, Foster
    Alonso, TAA, AWB, Simpson, benalouane,
    Hazard, mane, richarlison, hojbjerg, hughes,
    Aguero, arni, Lukaku

    0.4 itb

  11. Js31

    think I'm done...

    Hennessey
    Alonso Shaw AWB
    Hazard Mane Madisson Richarlison
    Aguero(c) Lukaku Mitro

    Jonny Bennett Hojberg

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Solid

  12. Not again Shirley
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling or Sane this week?

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

      Sane

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling.

      Sane a risk as soon as Mendy returns.

      Sterling is Pep's darling.

  13. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Feels like it’s all abt the captaincy choice this GW - Nerve biting

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Brandy. Good for the nerves. 😉

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I've never changed it between so many players. Almost certain I'm going to be disappointed with my captaincy choice.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Haven’t changed it since last Saturday and I have the 4 viable captaincy choices.

        Aguero playing 30min and looking sharp confirmed it for me

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Did he look sharp against Lyon? I don't remember any Man City player looking sharp in midweek.

          1. French Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Sharp enough to score a Hattie vs Cardiff away from home 🙂

    3. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure I agree. Wouldn't be surprised if Aguero, Hazard, Mane and Salah all post attacking returns

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

        This. Think we’re all overthinking it, likely that they all return.

  14. Alli
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio
    Robertson - Alonso - W.Bissaka
    Salah - D.Silva - Walcott - Stephens
    Aguero - Firmino - King

    Hamer - Daniels* - Mendy* - Cairney*

    Probably going to WC after this GW.

    A. Daniels* > Doherty. Play Doherty (MUN)
    B. Daniels* > Doherty. Play Stephens (TOT)
    C. Daniels* > A.Smith. Play A.Smith (BUR)

    1. Ashers74
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If you are gonna wc next week anyway .. what about a 1 week punt on Tomkins .. means double palace but small goal threat and better chance of clean sheet than others imo ..

      1. Alli
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, that could work. Thanks.

  15. jomikijiq
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Assuming you've got Hazard and no Mane - what do you do with Salah if he blanks today?

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

      Off-load him before the hordes of casuals do, then buy him back at 0.3 less for GW9...

  16. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Shaw or Chilwell?

  17. kime67
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    mendy->trips -4?

  18. Not again Shirley
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Also planned on bringing in Rambo but on physioroom he is rated as having fatigue. Hmm thought he could be a decent punt

  19. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Pedro to Lucas on a free?
    Would have to play Kabasele otherwise.

  20. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    best mendy replacement?

    First hit of the season, GTG?

    Ryan
    Alonso | TAA | Doherty | AWB

    Kane | Aguero | Mitrovic

    Button | Hojbjerg | Billing | Bennett

    Robertson Perreria Wan-Bissaka
    Erikssen Mane Maddison Silva
    Aguero(c) Lacazette Wilson

  24. Weeb Kakashi

  26. Dream Killers 2.0
    • 7 Years

    Start Duffy or S.Cook?

  27. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    A) Start Camarasa
    B) Get rid of Mendy for a -4 (to Trippier/Bellerin)

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      b

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

      Naturally A

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years

        It's 2018 - nothing is natural 😛

  28. COYS.
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Arnie + Mikh out for Wilson + Moura..For -4
    Yay or nay ?
    Trusting Pedro to give points evne if he is used as substitute

  29. FPLGeezer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcarders quick poll are you keeping Salah? Yay or Nay?

    1. odannyboys
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Never had him and I'm doing well enough. Get rid.

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

      Currently without but looking for reasonable ways to keep

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

        Fraser seems obvious route but I like look of squad without just seems so much h stronger. Pressure would be on Salah to haul otherwise won't pay off.

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

    Bednarek -> Holebas to avoid Stephens starting?

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

      Or Mendy -> Holebas?

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      can you afford Chillwell?

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

        Yes but Leicester definitely look awful
