You can find out what their answers are Monday.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro not in the squad

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He said Pedro Obiang

  3. Afghanistanislas
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Would Salah and Zaha > Maddison and Kane (-4) be worth doing? Would get Salah/Mane back in GW9/10

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lord no

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

      I prefer Sala and Zahah

  4. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Zabaleta vs Hazard + Alonso combo what's going on?

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    So I have Schneiderlin covering Arnie (own/injured) & Hazzo (don’t own) today.

    I’ll get my coat.

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            😮

        😀

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard(c) v Zabaleta followed by Richarlison v Bellerin.

    Tasty.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Haha could be carnage alright!

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

    Still thinking how to build my def on WC, I have two main options:

    A)
    Patricio/Hamer
    Alonso/Walker/Trippier/Bennett/WB

    Walker as placeholder for Mendy, Trippier to Robo for GW9.

    B)
    Ederson/Hamer
    Alonso/Trippier/TAA/Bennett/WB

    Probably no Robertson in this one as there would be TAA, Trippier could be moved to Mendy when fit - would mean double with Ederson + Kun up front

  9. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro was a trap, glad I passed on him.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I didn’t do the Pedro or Moura trap but I did do Walcott and Mkhitaryan

  10. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Tomkins off bench for Arnie so not so bad. Now I don’t have to worry about Arnie from a Chelsea point of view. Also brought in Maddison for Pedro so I’m calling this a W although I’d prefer him playing over Willian

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

    Is a hazard haul beneficial today even though I haven't captained him.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      yeah

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

      Depends where you're ranked.

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

        97 k

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          You're good then. Top 10k would be a no.

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes I’d think so

    4. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What's your rank? Suspect his EO in top 10k is around 120%

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on rank, but probably

      • jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Lol, of course man, you're on here 6 years!

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

          Yeah so I know how these things work.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            you are 3m odd in OR if your link is correct, so of course a Hazard haul is in your interest!

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

              Need to update my link. I'm 97 k.

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                Ah I see, still think at that rank a haul is good surely though? GL anyway mate!

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

                  All linked up now if you want to have a nosey.

                  1. jia you
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 7 months ago

                    unlucky with Dilva mate, solid enough team though, what's with the 1.6 itb?

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

                      Did Pedro to Fraser this week and when you don't own Salah you have money to spend.gonna upgrade Wilson to Vardy most likely week after next with two frees or maybe get Salah back.

        2. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          66% of teams don't even own him 😉

          1. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Overall ownership is low because of dead teams. This guy is ranked high which mean Haz’s EO is 100%+ around him. A haul is not good for him

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              his link suggests otherwise?

              1. CostaCoffee
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                His link doesn’t own Hazard, obviously an old link

                1. jia you
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 7 months ago

                  Yeah, he explained mate but still at a rank well outside 50k surely a haul is in his best interest?

      • Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        definitely every point counts 🙂

      • fr3d
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        No

      • FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes it is 100%

      • Sting in the Tail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Overall I think - most Hazard owners probably had Aguero or Salah as captaincy options. I was the only one out of my mini leagues that captained Hazard.

      • Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I’ll take a haul as a non captainer now rank 4815

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Probably not good for your rank but it would still prob be a good thing in the long run

      • Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        a rising tide lifts all boats.

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

          I like this.

    6. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Cmon captain hazard! Need another hatty! 😀

    7. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Goodbye Pedro my old friend....

      Come on Richarlison, time to shine!

    8. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard plays well with Gru on the team. Time to get Gru

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        this.

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

      Looks like bye bye Arnie and hello Jiminez!

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Then upgrade Ralls to Richarlison/ Maddison

        GW7 I wikk have 2.5M ITB and I can focus on Mendy/ VVD

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Those fixtures for Arnie in a few weeks you’ll want him back!

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          There's something about Jiminez tho...his fixtures also look quite reasonable

          I think my time with Arnie might be done for now, been a great asset but reckon I can do better elsewhere...

    10. Cornholi0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Would you sell Demarai Gray to Richarlison after todays match for -4? (Have Vardy)

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        yes

      2. RashFraud
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        See how Richa plays first

      3. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I still have walcott

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years

        He would need to score about 25 hat tricks for that to happen for me...

        1. OPTA FPL

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    13. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Disappointed CHO not in squad again, think he offers more than Moses off the bench

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Too similar style to Haz tho isn’t he. Sarri likes certain types of wingers and There’s no making way for hazard is there

    14. Eden Wizard
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I take it everyone is happy with Pedno & Arnotovic?

    15. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      As a Hazzo non-capper & non-owner, with a rank of 36k, I’ve worked out that I want him to say quiet today.

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Noble will kick him off the park.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          Don’t condone violence, but I’ll take it

        2. Totti
          • 7 Years

            • 12 Years

            Yeah bruised ego will be fine.....

      2. Podge

      3. FER FUSCH AKE

        won't happen

      4. Totti

      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Well at least Pedro not making a 1 or cameo means I get my 6 Hughes points from the bench.

      May soften the heavy blow of not having Haz

    20. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Haz assist for Alonso goal would be the dream here!

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        And Alonso assists for Hazards hat trick

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I would simply be in heaven if that happens

          Absolutely gagging for this match at half 1

      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Why is everyone so keen to get rid of Mendy? I doubt he's out for long and it'll cost two transfers to sell and then buy again 😕

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        That's the difference. I think he'll be out long.

          Based on what?

            Based on the nature of the injury and what Pep has said.

            Metatarsals take a while to heal even a bruised one. Pep was also pretty frank in his post conference "injured." It wasn't "he's working up match fitness" or "he'll be ready soon". The fact he doesn't know, likely means Mendy hasn't been training with the team otherwise Pep would know how close he is to being fit.

            If he doesn't train with the team, he doesn't play vs BHA. It's not like City are lacking in options. If he doesn't play BHA, he has liv next so why keep? Of course, I could well be wrong, but I see him as missing at least 2 weeks. I'd be surprised if he played vs LIV nevermind BHA.

              I suspect it has more to do with discipline issues. Pep keeps changing his story and the injury keeps moving. He originally said he would see how he looked after training but then he didn't train. He looked happy and well at the boxing last night!

                5 years, 7 months ago

                So after skipping the match and going to watch the boxing, how likely do you think he is to start BHA injuries notwithstanding if you think it's a disciplinary issue?

                I think it's a pretty clear decision honestly. I did Mendy > TAA last week. Best transfer I've made this season.

        I know right! I am keeping WR 🙂 until at least he’s confirmed out for a long period.

        Squad is pretty settled, so just maximising my transfer value. Still have him at moment, but will monitor the price changes.

        I think some are of the opinion that his “training injury” is only part of the issue.

        Bad news for West Ham as Arnautovic isn’t fit to play

        Even worse news for the Hammers is that Morata doesn’t start for Chelsea.

          Morata wouldve been West Ham's MoTM if he started imo
