    At 2.30pm everyone going to be wondering why they didn't captain Mitrovic.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      hope so

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

      Because I sold him for Firmino.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That was a bit short sighted

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

          I think he can score against any opposition so it's not with an eye on Southampton game. Not that he will score against any opposition. Boredom and FPL don't mix well for me, hence my shi+ ranks.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I was just making an eye joke, sorry!

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

              You're grand.

      2. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Strange move

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

      - nervous Mitro owner

  2. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Just cant decide on this, what to do with Pedro Mendy?
    A)Mendy-Trippier (Play Pedro)
    B)Pedro-Lucas (Play WB)
    C)Both-Doherty, Sane -4
    D) Both-Trippier, Lucas -4

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

      B replace Pedro, not sure Lucas but go with who you want

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        cheers

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

    Start

    A) awb (even if it that means a triple up with henny and pva)
    B) pedro
    B) Trippier (-4)
    C) richarlison (-4)

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hard, A

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Probably A will be horrible to watch/ wait out the end if they’re on a CS though

    3. Davidjohns85
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A - More likelihood of points adding in AWB than sticking in Pedro. Use the FT next week or take a -4 hit then with more of a chance to plan it out

  4. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy go dropped after Gw5.

    Told you guys at the start of season.

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

      Wasn’t dropped einstein

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You think he is injured again.

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

          Bruised 5th metatarsal sounds like an injury yes - albeit a very minor one.

          Why are you pretending to be Ville Rönkä? Mental issues?

          1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Bruised toe lol.

            Are you not a believer.

  5. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Gtg? Or is mendy to trippier or Arnie to Mitro/Wilson worth a -4?

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

    Stekeleberg, Arnautovic*, Mendy**, Neves

  6. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Maddison or Richarlison?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Maddy

    2. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I went Maddison.

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

      Richarlison.
      Maddison cannot secure bonus. But either is a winner really.

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

    Should i play Walcott or Wijnaldum?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wij loves a home game.

    2. Mumm-Ra
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Gini

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

    Mendy > Shaw?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Keep

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

        keep? is he not out long term?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Not that I've heard?

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

      If it's for free yes.

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

        yeah its for free

  9. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    pedro bak when pls? thnx

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Probably on the bench tomorrow

  10. woody3260
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Pickford & Kane > Henno, Aguero?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Patricio and Aguero

  11. Kuyt Dirkula +42
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I'm a little concerned that Salah will be on the bench today and Klopp will go with Firmino and Sturridge.
    I don't know just whether to put the armband on him but whether to sell him to free up cash...

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He won't be on the bench. He might only get 70 mins but he won't be benched.

      1. Kuyt Dirkula +42
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        My instinct is telling me to get rid...
        I'll suffer for it I'm sure....

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Last week was maybe the time to do it. Just have to go with the flow now, I think.

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

      Well if he is benched they won't need him to save the game so just pick a good vice. Good luck

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

      With the win vs psg, I think they go full strength in PL then mass changes vs Chelsea mid week
      That’s not to say he only makes 60-70 mins...

  12. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can anyone tell me what minutes Aguero got midweek?
    Was it on at 60 or start etc?

    Asking for captain purposes

    1. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      On at 60 or so

    2. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He came off the bench.

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 8 months ago

        On around 60 mins

      • Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Nearly 30 mins. Looks like Pep trusts him fully now.

      • Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 8 months ago

          63rd minute to be exact

      • Sergeant Garcia
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I only have Fosu Mensah on my bench to replace Mendy.(Ings & Hudson Odoi the other 2).

        What to do?
        A) Gamble on Fosu Mensah playing
        B) Take a hit and do Mendy > Trippier/ Roberston

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Sort your bench before selling Mendy otherwise it can happen again.

          1. Sergeant Garcia
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Good point! So you'd rather change Fosu Mensah or Hudson Odoi? I have 1.2 in the bank

          • 6 Years

          I wouldn't WC there. Hold until you need to make more wholesale changes.

          1. n-doggg

            Thanks both

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

        Will Shaw play today and if so is united defence weakened with matic suspended? Ta

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

          Not really no. Quite the opposite. He didn't look convincing last week. Gave away a few.

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

          I think so. Matic will probably be replaced with either Fred or Pereira so might be a downgrade yes

        3. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          He started last game. If it is rotation it mean Young wil start. But who knows?
          I would say that yes. No matic is no control.

      • JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Aaaaargh! Last minute armband switch from Salah to Haz. Yay or nay?

        1. n-doggg
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Nay

      • Moyes4ever!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Should I captain Lacazette?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Could be great if it works out

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

          If I had Laca I'd be captaining him. I really want to captain Auba but have this slight niggle out doubt he will either be rested or limited game time. Annoying.

          I'd say go for it

      • ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        Any Salah rumours yet? Geoff should do a hot topic every Sat morning collating the great and stupid rumours. Good for a laugh. Although the Mendy guy nailed it last week...

      • De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years

        Roll on Brexit club.

      • Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Surely if you're holding Mendy you play him.

        He either starts or plays zero.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          literally 0 chance of playing

            We don't actually know though do we... Not factually. So I can't see why you wouldn't just to cover the 1%.

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I am, but wishful thinking

          • BadgersBoys
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            He won't play, though.

          Last decision of the week, who to play?

          A. WB (have Hennessey starting)
          B. Holebas (have Mitrovic starting)

          Cheers and good luck all

          People are going Salah Captain? I feel Hazard is good.

          1. Marty McFly
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Both look good. As does Aguero.

          3. MTPockets
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Sticking with Salah because last time I switched (Aguero) was a nightmare.
              But who knows

          4. barcaa7
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago
