    Kane in with a view to captaining over the next 2 is very tempting. Could prove a great differential against the top 10k and broader FFS community. Certainly a differential in all my MLs.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Yep.

      Only way u can do it is by selling Salah or Kun so not doing it.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I*

    2. DF
      8 years, 26 days ago

      True words.
      Hope it pays off for you

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Nope

    4. Play Pal
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Who is making way? Salah? Aguero?

      1. Touré De Force
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Salah. I had 2 FTs so shipoed last night to bank the 0.1. Would plan to roll a transfer next gw again to have 2 to bring him back in the following gw.

  2. jurgenklopp.8
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Foster - Fabianski
    Alonso - AWB - Doherty - Shaw - Chilwell
    Fraser - Mane - Salah - Pedro - Stephens
    Vardy - Aguero - King

    time to WC? or just do pedro > rich this week??

    1. Play Pal
      8 years, 26 days ago

      No need to WC at all, Pedro move is sound

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        8 years, 26 days ago

        thanks

  3. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Have you ever had 8 of your starting 11 playing in just 2 fixtures?

    PVA, AWB, Zaha, Fraser, J. King, Robertson, Salah, Alonso.

    Would you be comfortable with this or would you look to break up your team a little?

    1. DF
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I'd be looking to add a ninth in Hazard

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Actually this 😀

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I'd probably look to break it a little. I have 7 at the moment :/

    3. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Don't see the problem. You didn't get these players for one week. It'll be different the week after. Think longer term.

    4. Holmes
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Not really an issue to be honest...

      When you have triple or double up on certain teams, this scenario is likely to happen occasionally.

    5. CloudSky
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Look at them in isolation.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        8 years, 26 days ago

        And this.

    6. Ramboros
      8 years, 26 days ago

      King, Fraser and Zaha have no bearing on each other.

      PVA can get offensive returns. AWB can get bonus points if your Bournemouth assets fail.

      Robertson and Alonso can both do well. Both can contribute offensively if they concede.

      Salah and Zaha are both very likely to be involved if their team score a goal.

      You just have to accept that your ceiling this GW is fairly low. On the other hand it's likely that half your players will get some points.

  4. Stoic
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Play 2
    A) Bennet ( SOU )
    B) Jimenez ( SOU )
    C) Maddison ( new)
    D) AWB ( bou )

    1. Feloh
      8 years, 26 days ago

      A and B

    2. Jafalad
      8 years, 26 days ago

      A and C.

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      B
      C

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 26 days ago

      D and B.
      I have a good feeling about that CPL defence if Sakho and Tomkins keep fit. Wolves are just an overall good and solid team, Jimenez seems the best asset to play from em.

    5. TheBrat
      8 years, 26 days ago

      C and D

    6. Stoic
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Wow, pretty mixed responses..
      Leaning towards A and B

  5. Feloh
    8 years, 26 days ago

    how many hours until the line ups are out?

    1. Fortune
      8 years, 26 days ago

      in about 30 mins

    2. DF
      8 years, 26 days ago

      30mins

  6. Play Pal
    8 years, 26 days ago

    2 FT and 1.0 ITB, anyone see anything urgent other than Mendy?

    Henessey Hamer
    Robertson Alonso Mendy Benett AWB
    Hazard Mane Moura Richarlison Høj
    Aguero Mitrovic Wilson

    1. Touré De Force
      8 years, 26 days ago

      People gonna mention Moura to you, have to keep for the next 2 and assess afterwards I feel.

      1. Play Pal
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I'd probably consider selling if it wasn't for hud CAR whu

  7. Atimis
    8 years, 26 days ago

    What would you say about this WC team?

    Patricio/Hamer
    Alonso/Walker/Trippier/Bennett/WB
    Salah/Hazard/Maddison/Richa/Fraser
    Kun/Mitro/Quaner

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

    1. Buck The Trent
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Like it

    2. Feloh
      8 years, 26 days ago

      sexy

    3. Atimis
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Or it could be also no Salah team with Kane Hojbjerg in place of Salah Quaner

      1. jomikijiq
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I'm thinking about doing these moves for FTs, so would definitely have Kane on WC

    4. DF
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Yep

    5. Salarrivederci
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Quaner -> Succes

    6. Touré De Force
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Could you squeeze in Joselu as your 3rd striker?

      1. Atimis
        8 years, 26 days ago

        He even plays?

        1. Touré De Force
          8 years, 26 days ago

          He does

    7. lilmessipran
      8 years, 26 days ago

      success in for quaner for good luck?

  8. jomikijiq
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Ryan
    Alonso, Monreal, Jonny
    Salah, Hazard, Moura, Walcott, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic

    Button, AWB, Mendy, Kamara

    2 FT, 0.4 itb

    Salah, Kamara -> Hojbjerg, Kane?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Seems like an okay move. Go for it.

  9. Fantasy Gold
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Everton to beat Arsenal.

    Calling it now.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Fine with it as long as Bellerin gets goal+assist+baps

    2. Butcher
      8 years, 26 days ago

      As long as Walcott gets a brace

    3. Fortune
      8 years, 26 days ago

      im an everton fan, and have siggy,
      but i doubt it, lol.

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is now the time to invest in Burnley players given they have settled back into PL games post Europa exit and have some decent fixtures ? If so who?

    I am thinking either Hart or Tarkowski in defence, Lennon or Gudmundsson in midfield.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I'm thinking of doing that for a 2gw punt. Lennon is my target

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Not sure I'd be up for a defender, but Gudmundsson's a good shout.

    3. Jafalad
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Can't see any room for them tbh and they are a little expensive too.

      Hard to beat the RAM + AWB+ Wolves defender template at present.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Mendy is injured though so there’s 1 spot

    4. jia you
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Just bought Ben Mee, Burnley will be fine and get back to their solid selves I do believe 🙂

  11. camarozz
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Have defender dilemma nxt week.

    AWB + PVA v Bournemouth

    Or drop one and play

    Doherty v Southampton

    Mendy on the bench still.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Doherty over AWB

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Im playing Hennessey and AwB myself. CPL seem like a solid team with Tomkins andand Sakho fit, really think a CS is on.

  12. jia you
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Just lost 0.3 in TV now selling Mendy + Cook! Ahwell, liking the look of my squad now, welcome messers Kieren & Ben 🙂

    1. jia you
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Four games v Huddersfield and Cardiff! What's not to like eh 🙂

      1. AndyCook
        8 years, 26 days ago

        You serious? I’d be surprised if you got 3

        1. jia you
          8 years, 26 days ago

          What do you mean?
          Both Burnley & Spurs play Huddersfield & Cardiff in their next two fixtures

  13. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Planning to WC in gw9/10! Couple of quick questions:

    1) if you could afford one of salah, hazard or Kane for next three weeks. Who would you get? And your rationale? Already have kun

    2) keep or sell mendy? Any idea on his injury?

    3A) Bennett + Salah + Hazard + Zaha
    3B) Doherty + Salah + Fraser + Laca
    3C) Mendy/Robbo + Hazard + Fraser + Laca
    3D) Mendy/Robbo + Ramsey + Richarlison + Kane

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Hazard. In the best form, and does well in big games

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Sell Mendy - get him back on WC if fit.

      A

  14. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Name 3 mid differentials you'd like to see in your team up to 7.5M:)

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Gudmundsson
      Knockeart
      Kenedy

  15. monzae
    8 years, 26 days ago

    A) Dilva Doherty/Taylor
    B) Fraser Maddison

    A or B?

    I hope it's a heavenly view in the garden of Eden today 😉

      This is a family site.

        😆

  17. CHANCING PUNT
    8 years, 26 days ago

    In the minority here but Ben Foster owner. 3 saves yesterday (late onto cross bar from Mitro save being the 3rd).

    Any updates from FPL on whether this 3rd sage will be added? Could do with the save point.

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 26 days ago

      won't change now

      1. CHANCING PUNT
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Incredible really. So easy to spot.

    2. Podge
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Too late now

    3. James H
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah, I thought he got a touch too, but I guess it wasn't conclusive. There won't be any amendments now.

      1. CHANCING PUNT
        8 years, 26 days ago

        It was on Sky Sports. Showed clear replays of it post match. Also could have impacted Mitro’s BPs as it was on target, rather than off.

        1. James H
          8 years, 26 days ago

          I didn't see the post-match replays, but you're right - it is frustrating. First instinct was he got a fingertip.

  18. Supersonic
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Lads, will Mendy drop to 6.2?

    If I get rid now I’ll get 6.2.. but with no cash itb, I’ll need him to drop to 6.2 (6.4) in order to bring him back in.

    Cheers

    1. AndyCook
      8 years, 26 days ago

      If he is out a couple of weeks which I’d expect then yes

  19. Bob B
    8 years, 26 days ago

    3 injuries... Who would you move out?

    A. Mendy > Walker
    B. Peltier > 4.5 (5th defender)
    C. Stephens > 5.0 (5th mid)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      8 years, 26 days ago

      mendy as you dont need the other two

  20. Salarrivederci
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone know why Dilva did not play? Thought he would pretty nailed with KDB out..
    I am fine this week getting Jimenez on, but need him to play next week.

    1. jia you
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Pep did say that Dilva will be playing reduced minutes this season

    2. Podge
      8 years, 26 days ago

      2 games already this week

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Will miss the odd game here and there but I'd be very surprised if he didn't play against Brighton next week. Just need a decent bench to cover rotation when it occurs. I have Walcott off the bench this week.

    4. Depldax
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Played 90 mins last week and midweek. He rested the older of the Silva's yesterday

  21. Chucky
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Wildcarded Salah out last night, will get him back on Friday for 12.8 😀

    1. Podge
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I’m hoping about 12.6 in time for gw9 assuming he stays quiet for 2 games

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 26 days ago

      He won't hit 12.8

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Agree. Mane is the one being sold now.

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Have to hold Moura for his next game surely right?

    1. DAZZ
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Im selling, ali son and lamela all in the mix now, lamela 2 in 2

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Hold 🙂

    3. Stoic
      8 years, 26 days ago

      HODL

  23. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC please?

    Patricio Fabianski

    Azpilicueta Bellerin Alexander-Arnold (Cedric) (Wan-Bissaka)

    Salah Hazard Maddison Richarlison (Kenedy)

    Aguero Arnautovic Jimenez

  24. TheEgyptianKing
    8 years, 26 days ago

    a) Salah + Ings ----> Fraser + Kane

    b) Salah, Ings + Hughes ----> Richarlison, Kane and Hojberg (Wan Bissaka plays over him) (-4)

    Id be playing 433 but can change wan Bissaka with Hojberg if need be)

    Thanks

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    8 years, 26 days ago

    really tempted to get trippier but worried about rotation. vert a better pick to replace mendy ?

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I prefer Alder.

    2. VS10_
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Don't think Poch will trust Aurier against Barca so Trip will probably sit out either Huddersfield or Cardiff. You still might want the attacking threat though if they keep conceding.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        8 years, 26 days ago

        thanks all

  26. FlockofSeagulls
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Next gws transfers will possibly be the most important 2 transfers I make all season.

    It could decide if I win this thing or end up 2,345,768 OR come seasons end. 🙂

    I haven't the foggiest idea what to do. 🙁

    1. Stoic
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Salah + Ings to Kane + Milner ? 😉

  27. Dele
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Transfer for this week...

    A) PVA + Mane > Doherty + Hazard

    Or

    B) Zaha > Mitrovic

    1. Coys96
      8 years, 26 days ago

      A

  28. Coys96
    8 years, 26 days ago

    GTG? (1FT + £0.1ITB)

    Hennessey

    Mendy Bennett Alonso

    Fraser Hazard Salah Richarlison

    Aguero Zaha Mitrovic

    Bench: Hamer, Robertson, AWB, Stephens

    Do I:

    A) Transfer out Hennessey due to Palace's upcoming fixtures (if so, who for)

    B) Hold FT

    C) Other

    Any help much appreciated 😀

    1. Podge
      8 years, 26 days ago

      B Hennessey can wait

  29. hjalmarekdal
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Time to get rid of Salah? Sterling or Spurs mid with two nice games coming up is tempting. What are you Salah-owners doing?

    1. Coys96
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Holding for now.

    2. Vlad Tepes
      8 years, 26 days ago

      keeping

    3. AndyCook
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Not sure any Spurs mids are doing enough and City have a tough fixture too

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Keeping. He's nailed and sure to play 80-90 mins in 2 games likely to be goalfests. Only one I'd sell for is Hazard and I can get him for Mane instead.

  30. jia you
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Getting in Steve Cook on my WC in GW3 was a horrid decision! Had him autosub in for 1 point last week and 0 this week. Bouremouth defence for crying out loud, what was I thinking! Goodbye and good riddance Stevie boy 🙂
