    How's this looking for next gw?

    Ederson
    Trippier, Doherty, Alonso
    Hazard, Richarlison, Fraser, Maddison
    Kane, Aguero(c), Mitrovic

    Bench: Stekelenburg, TAA, Fellaini, WB

    Wc, 38k OR

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

      Very good but Fellaini has one more game then Matic is back so maybe look elsewhere

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, will be Fred or 4.4 fodder

  2. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone got hazards EO top 10k?

    1. badgerboy

      114%

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

        Yuck

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

        Nice

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

        🙂

  3. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    The FPL bench is working overtime this week .... well worth an extra few £££ in this day and age of rotation 🙂

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed. Totally disagree with bench fodder concept

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed , a decent playing bench is essential qith Eupopean rotation being a factor. Happy to have H.Costa as my cheap mid, an attacking Winger for 4.9m!

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

        0G 0A in 6 games

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ew you stuck with him? I had to get rid was so frustrating expected far too much

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed. Sadly bench didnt do much this week though. Pereyra and Ward for me.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mendy Ings & Pereira out for me this week ... WB, Jorginho & McDonald off the bench in their place ...

        It’s not just the points off the bench though, lots of hits needed to deal with the no-shows when coupled with a non playing bench

  4. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just saw that Goodison Park is only about 100 m in length :0
    Ederson is destined to score a goal there Tim Howard style, surely.

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

      A while to wait sadly. Any other grounds a similar length?

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I always feel goalies should get more points than defenders for a goal. Surely has to be worth a 10 pointer

  5. WayneKumar
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Feeling the urge to make transfer, to out Mendy. But I can do with him injured with my rotation. HELP!

    GK: Ederson (Foster)

    DEF: Shaw, Alonso, AWB, Robertson (Mendy)

    MID: Pogba, Ali, Maddison, Mane (Schurrle)

    FWD: Aguero, Wilson (Ings)

    Would be keen to make the following changes, let me know if its worth or not.

    Transfer OUT: Mendy, Schurrle, Ings, Ali

    Transfer IN: Trippier, Richarlison, Vardy, Xhaka

  6. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie not playing brings Bilva off the bench for me, thank the lord

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wow

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

      Industrial strength jam! 😉

    3. Totti
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      ohhhhhhhh
      🙂
      that's very nice
      good luck mate

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Masterclass

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why did you have him on your bench strong team?
      Or forget to make changes?

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Strong team, I had about 4 players to choose between, got away with it!

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Well done, all that worry causes the Gaalstones I bet.

    6. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Got his points replacing Pedro. 23pts today before a ball is kicked.

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

        Well I get Bennett's 2 points with the pedro no-show. Not at all bitter.

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

    Hazard owner non-cap id take 10-11 points worth of sofa

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

      8 and it’s a deal

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Let's not take it to arbitration and settle on 9, fair? 😆

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't be ideal but my Bernardo Silva points can cover that.

  8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Pereira yesterday's news for Leicester?
    Causing two goals then dropped and Leicester looked much better without him.

    1. WayneKumar
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      will be back, mint player

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hope so I chose him ahead of Maddison in the telegraph game last week.
        Similar prices.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Dont underestimate the "player has a poor game -> gets dropped -> team with replacement has a great game" chain. He could be out for a long time if Leicester perform with their good run of fixtures.

  9. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Non Hazard owners - how big is your sofa ? 🙂

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      They might not need one, let's see if it's Best Ham or Worst Ham we see today lol

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

      Only a 2 seater, but Eden's only little.

  10. tburgess12
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah and Wilson to Richarlison and Kane

    Yay or Nay

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe. Wilson has good fixtures. I would make it Salah and another.

      1. tburgess12
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Other strikers are Mitrovic and Aguero...

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I would say do it so, other option is to sell aguero but he is prime captaincy pick next gameweek

  11. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Duffy at 4.5? Two goals and two assists so far and their fixtures turning into the green mile

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

      Haven’t kept a single CS is concerning but great attacking threat

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah he is on my radar.
      If I had a wildcard he would be first in, knockhart another that is great value.

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      BHA are pretty solid, not a bad pick at all! I'm thinking going with a BUR defender for the next two with an eye on Duffy afterwards!

    4. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Considered but I’m going for Ryan as a semi set and forget after Man City

  12. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So what's the worst news for WHU fans?
    The fact that Arnie is out or that Morata is not starting up front for CHE!

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      😀

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not a wh fan but I expect that front three will cause Chelsea lots of problems

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

        WHU are far more decent that many give them credit for alright

  13. Mingo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    After agonising all week today's teamsheets have justified my WC! I would have had 9 starters and been forced to play Cedric & Neves.

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

      Just having to look at Neves on my bench would be enough for a wc

  14. gclarke5
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    A) Robbo & Aguero
    Or
    B) TAA & Kane

    1. WayneKumar
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero anyday

  15. Hooky
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I've had loads of points stuck on the bench this season but the week I need them I get a 1 and a 2 pointer!

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      18 from Fraser waving at me last week and now 10 from Moutinho this week 😆

  16. aborg
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I don’t care what happens with the Chelsea game as long as Hazard blanks!
    I’m the only one in the top 4 in my mini league who does not own him and has Salah.
    Anyone same as me me here?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      AZ

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      what game are you playing?
      99% in top 5k have him and half of them captain him

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

        I’ve been doing well without him till now. I’m sitting on 48k at the moment. What about you?

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

        114% EO so not quite as bad as that

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

      Don't have him either. Expecting a blank against hammers probly too hopeful though!

  17. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    8 pointer from Haz would be perfect to match Mitro's haul, but Marcos you can go and get a hattie 🙂

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hernandez always scores against Chelsea. Big loss for West Ham.

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

      He’s lazy

  19. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    The mendy price thing is so tough. I was really wanting to hold but maybe gonna have to sell...

    1. gclarke5
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sell, he will be out for next month, Pep won’t want to rush him back after recent injury record

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

      I've just sold him after deliberating long and hard! Banking the 0.2 and will reassess when he comes back!

      1. gclarke5
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same here - so many options with Trippier, Walker, Liverpool FBs....

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

          Yeah, I went Trippier despite the obvious risks! Just the fact he's on FKs now makes him so much more dangerous! I have AWB and Bennett as solid autosubs so decided to chance him!

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

        Who've you brought in?

        1. Tempestic

          Nvm, u just said.

  20. gclarke5
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    On WC- thinking of selling Robertson for Walker until Mendy back.....

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

      I'd keep Robbo, Liverpool look like the best team in the league so far.

  21. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    On Twitter,, looks like Mendy is fit to start next weekend

    Whose the best Mendy replacement? Trippier?

    My current defence is Mendy, Alonso, Holebas, WB and Bennett.

    1. gclarke5
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier

  23. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How many scout picks am I like to get next GW ? I've had at least seven every game so far this season, but can't see myself getting more than a couple in GW7 (Kun and possibly Patricio, if Ederson is out of their budget).

    Patricio (SOU)
    Robertson (che), Alonso (LIV), Shaw (whu), AWB (bou)
    Hazard (LIV), Salah (che), Madddison (new)
    Kun (BHA), Mitro (eve), Wilson (CRY)

    Foster, MENDY, Neves, Hojbjerg

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

      Kun and Hazard would be my guess. Think they'll prefer Doherty over Patricio. Patricio a solid pick though

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Does no one do New Post alerts anymore?

    Anyway, there’s a new one - Dungout, I guess.....

  25. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I'm almost bound to get a red arrow on 52 with Hazard and Alonso to go, but hoping it's just a little one! GL all 🙂

  26. Supersonic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Pereyra worth holding?? If I drop Mendy for someone cheaper (who?) I could upgrade Pereyra to Richarlison - thoughts

    Currently have:

    Henn-Hamer
    Robbo-Alonso-mendy*-awb-Bennett
    Salah-haz-Maddison-Pereyra-Hojbjerg
    Kun-mitro-Zaha

    Cheers

    if you are on wildcard who would you have Hazard or Kane, if you look next 4-5 fixtures. Kane have so much better fixtures ahead

  29. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else still think of Antonio as a fullback?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Can remember when he used to play up front for Sheff Wed.

    hey, little help please...leave David Silva in team or replace him with Eriksen?
