    Should I do anything to my team for this Gameweek please??
    Tomkins will come in for Mendy if he doesn't play?

    Ederson
    Mendy | Wan-Bissaka | Alonso
    Lucas Moura | Maddison | Richarlison | Salah
    Arnautovic | Aguero | Lacazette

    Subs - Speroni | Tomkins | Stephens | Peltier

    1. Coldplay
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not for a hit

      1. HAMMERTIME107
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What would you suggest if I did take a hit?

  2. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    need some help here, wonder if it's worth wildcarding ?

    team right now, on a -4

    Foster (Fabianski)
    AWB Alonso Shaw (Mendy, peltier)
    Salah (C) Mane Fraser Maddison (stephens)
    Aguero Zaha King

    potential wildcard team

    Hennessy (patricio)
    Alonso TAA Shaw (AWB, Doherty)
    Hazard Mane Fraser Maddison (Hojberg)
    Auba Aguero (C) Mitrovic

    1. SwissGuinness
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Keep it for now. Mane and Salah could do both better than Haz. Take one of them out after lessons learned from the SOU game imo

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        cheers

  3. Slaps
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I personally would downgrade Dilva to a slightly cheaper option to get Doherty for Suttner, I think a playing bench is important

        1. kinghenry14
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I'd go for him then

  11. Michelle Davin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    The worse question ever.

    Ward or bennet to start?

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Bennet

  12. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So for the first time in my not-so-long FPL history, I decided for a 4-4-2 formation. Wish me luck 😛

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good luck.

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin

        Thanks!

    2. Chi not God
      • 8 Years

      go for it man..
      did it last week and got 90+!... pretty much my new standard formation .

    https://twitter.com/AnfieldHQ/status/1043407290978709504

    Who dropes out if Shaqiri starts?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      mane or salah

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      And so it begins!

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Any of the front 3 really

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Probably not Firmino

    4. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      🙁

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He should start. What's the point in buying players if he never uses them.

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is there Shaw non starting rumours

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No

      Rotation risk with Young

    2. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Let's start one

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My granny knows a granny who's granddoughter attended the same kindergarten as Luke Shaw and she heard that he cought a flue because he didn't wear a cap and that in her opinion he shouldn't play. Dunno what Mourinho thinks about all this though.

  15. nothingbutgreen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    pat
    cook/alonso/chilwell
    pogba/silva/maddison/pereyra/mane
    aguero/lukaku

    who to armband? leaning towards lukaku...

    1. Slaps
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think having Luk and Pog is enough for Utd game, go with Kun

  16. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I’m on Aguero captain.

    But Salah differential captain is so tempting. If he hauls this website crashes.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Haha it will go insane

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I wanna be part of it if it does. However it also could be same old story

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I just can't bring myself to do it because of the rotation risk

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This is the risk I find too. I won’t even trust him with VC. That’s for the safer hazard. I wanted to be brave

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Good luck. I have promised myself I'd be a dullard this season

  17. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

    Who will you bring in and why (9.2 budget)

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      In mid

  18. Fernando Torres
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mane to Salah and captain? Nothing else to spend the £ on.

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Will be like one of those cars driving into city along empty highway and across the way lines and lines of traffic.

  19. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Last chance saloon for Mo. Captain locked in.

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Make me brave !

    2. fenixri
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Same here! I kinda hope he blanks, I want so many players and 13 mils enables a lot 🙂

  20. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Note to sheep. Dropped salah, Mane, aguero on wildcard. Picked differentials sterling, Silva, lukaku, lacazette (all between 2 and 8% ownership) up to 5k now. Captained raheem. Lacazette cap this week. Many ways to skin a cat. There are no essentials. Just watch the footy and pick the players you think will do well. Simple game.

        Too much. Far too much.

        1. Slaps
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Reasonable I thought

        2. Richd
          • 14 Years

          Craft beer ewww. I’m sorry

      2. Dosh

        LOOOL

      3. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
        • 16 Years

        How dare you. I deal with my molestation ptsd with whisky not craft beer

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I got you wrong then. Single malt I hope ?

          I just think they arent that maverick moves. But fair play

          1. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Single malt always. Glenmorangie and lagavulin two recent favourites.

        2. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          And yes sheep. Mindless sheep. Especially you flapjack

          1. Richd
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Meh. I didn’t have Salah the last few weeks of last season. I’m definately not averse to calculated risks

            1. Excused By Bemused Confusio…
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              I just bite back. I have no idea how sheepish you are. The majority of this site are just spoon-fed sheep that cannot decide which way to wipe their arse without a poll. If you are one of the good ones. Bravo pissflaps bravo

  21. andrinho
    • 11 Years

    Transfer in:
    a) Richarlison and Shaw
    or
    b) Fraser and Trippier/Smalling

    Team set:

    Ederson - Robo, Alonso, Obi Wan

    Maddison, Hazard, Mane, Fraser

    Aguero, Mitro, Callum

    Just to decide between Hazard and Maddison for C

  23. as33
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is it really Salah is not nailed? Hes my C atm, is safer to choose Auba or Hazard?

    1. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably safer to go with Auba/Hazard but Salahs worth the risk for me

  24. Dosh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A. Tosun --> Zaha

    B. Tosun --> Lacazette (-4)

    1. SeizeYourLuck
      • 9 Years

      Zaha easy

    So I decided to peruse the Manchester City Blue Moon forum and boy was I surprised. A lot of them think it's going to be a hard game while I think it's going to be pretty straightforward since Cardiff is the worst team in the league. Are they just sore from Wednesday's game?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cardiff could make it difficult for them.

  26. aborg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    My team currently as follows:

    Ederson
    Alonso, Robertson, WB, Holebas
    Moura, Salah, Fraser
    Zaha, Aguero, Firmino

    I have Pedro as my first sub. Should I replace him with one of my starting players or just keep as is? I’m not sure what to do.

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Get Maddison (HUD H) for one week on WC and shift to Richarlison next week

    B) Get Richarlison on WC (ARS A)

  28. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    On WC.
    Goalkeepers were FAb/Fos which i don't like.
    Thoughts on a set and forget keeper or rotating keepers?
    e.g. On fixtures Etheridge and Ryan look decent as a rotating.
    Dubravka has great fixtures as a set and forget - know they haven't started well but 4 tough fixtures to start with and Newcastle are fairly defensive.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hennessey, Patricio

        thanks.
        looked at that but GW10 onwards gets pretty scruffy.
