Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) is expected to be the favourite for the captain debate in Gameweek 7.

We’ve started our poll to ascertain what the Fantasy Football Scout community are thinking for the next round of matches.

With Chelsea and Liverpool going head-to-head on Saturday afternoon, options such as Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) and Eden Hazard (£11.0m) are unlikely to score well in the upcoming vote.

That may mean that Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Romelu Lukaku (£11.1m) receive more attention than usual.

Both strikers have favourable fixtures, against Huddersfield and West Ham respectively, and have found some form in recent weeks.

Differentials may well be found at Goodison Park with Richarlison (£6.6m) the likeliest to take advantage of Fulham’s defensive frailties.

However, Everton’s back-line has been almost as poor as the Cottagers’ in 2018/19, opening the door for Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.0m) to get a look in too.

Make sure you vote in the poll and watch our latest video analysing the Gameweek 7 captaincy debate.

      Neves: 1/2

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      No evidence that he will take them for Wolves.....

        haha

        1. Eden Wizard

            Costa 4/5

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 12 days ago

              Me and you are going to fall out, Mr. 7.

                  8 years, 12 days ago

                  Nice description of the evidence pointing towards Jiminez being on penalties.

    Wan, Doherty, Alonso, Robertson. Who to bench this weekend?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      AWB

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      wan

    3. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Who's your keeper?

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        hennessey

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Then AWB yes

    4. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      AWB only scores 9 when he's autosubbing off your bench

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        True

    5. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I've the same 4 & benching WanBis… starting PvA tho in a back 4 so maybe a mid might be worth benching?

    6. The Left Duke #3
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      AWB i'm on

    7. AnfieldLad
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I’m benching Robbo over Wan I think. In order to avoid triple Pool vs Chelsea

  2. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Curious what people think of this?

    Salah Zaha —> Maddison Kane -4pt

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      If you have a WC left to bring Salah back after 2-3 GWs, then this is not a bad shout

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Sadly don’t so would mean a 2 week punt with potentially a hit to get back unless I save ft

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Not really worth it then.. -8 to hokey cokey Salah is dangerous

          1. yakirh
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 12 days ago

            This

    2. Afghanistanislas
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I'm considering the same move, just don't know which mid I'd take out to get Salah/Mane back since I'd want to keep Maddison for his fixtures after that as well

    3. Beard of Zeus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Probably not for a -4 imo, but I'm considering something similar.

      2 FTs to do Salah/Wilson > Kane/Fraser.

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      No for me.

    5. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      This is my move come Friday

    6. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I would do it if the arrow pointed the other way

    7. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      What are your plans to get Salah back in gw9/10? Kane fixtures too good and I am sure he will be scoring with his eyes closed from here on

  3. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    A mendy to vert
    B pedro to richa
    C both for a hit (not keen)

    thanks a lot

  4. Pacer.
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Second .5 increase it team value in one night in a couple of weeks. This season is nuts

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      That's great - hopefully correlated with a rank rise too

      1. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Yes been all green arrows up to 4K now. Holding tight, no rash moves

  5. TomSaints
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    £1m itb and having tried to ride out the Mendy drops it's not looking good. I also don't have Mitrovic which also increasingly looks like a problem!

    Mendy -> Trippier
    Wilson -> Mitro for -4

    I'm not too worried about another rise as have enough cash, but dislike taking hits when Wilson is playing Palace at home and Bournemouth need to respond after the Burnley thumping...

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      No need to do it now as you've just lost value overnight. Wait for pressers if you bought Mendy at 6.0

      1. TomSaints
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        True, I thought I had a few more days before another drop and I did buy at 6.0

  6. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    anyone keeping salah???

    if i downgrade him to mane, that would open up so many possibilities

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      i m keeping for sure see how he performs in the next 2. then i wc so who knows

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I was gonna captain him, Chelsea looked crap at the back.

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      keeping both Salah & Mane for now

    4. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 12 days ago

      He got binned, along with Firmino and Robertson, a couple of weeks ago. They won't be seen again until week 9/10 🙂

    5. The Left Duke #3
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I'm keeping Salah Mane & Robbo through the next 2 tough fixtures

  7. T Money
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Arsenal fans:

    Does Kolasinac get a look in when fit again or is Monreal going to be nailed?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      doubt it. monreal is a better player

    2. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Kolasinac for the cup games I would imagine, once fit.

    3. is this real
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I reckon Monreal will be first choice but it's hard to say until they're both fit at the same time under Emery.

    4. T Money
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      thansk all

  8. joeydelucchi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    anyone else surprised by the captaincy poll and thinks Brighton have been decent enough this season to stop a massive city haul?
    i prefer Kane

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Trolling?

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Brighton were the worst team away in the league last season

  9. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    so the big question that faces us all this week is Mr Harry Kane. Do we try and fit him into our teams with the three easy fixtures coming up. I wish there was alternatives, but with the midweek games a plenty ..rotation is in th air ..Lamela, Son, Moura and Deli fighting for two spots. Eriksen maybe he's the path into these good fixtures? We could go defence. but rotation madness lives the too. It's a fantasy footballers mess..

    I've got it down to Eriksen or Kane.

    1. Zebrahimović
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Gonna hold off this week. Would rather be late to the party than several GWKS early. I remember last season there being a scamble to get Kane and then waiting weeks for a haul.

    2. Emp
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Lamela more likely to be an impact player deli nailed if fit so one spot between son/ moura seemingly although in these easier fixtures porch might drop eriksen into the pivot and play all three behind kane

    3. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Pulling cash from midfield to get Kane in in place of Agüero does not appeal to me whatsoever. Spurs haven't even looked at that great but for some reason people are creaming their jocks over Kane all of a sudden.

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Any love for Hazard captain this week? At home, against an opening team that will leave him space between the lines

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      *open

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        An open team that has the best defensive record this season and this calender year.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      3 goals in 45 games vs big 6

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Lol he’s actually so overrated! Thank you for this stat

    3. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Aguero much better option

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Maximum 60 minutes.

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Still take 60 mins over a hazard who will be playing liverpool who are defensively pretty sound

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 12 days ago

            Salah here

        2. Zebrahimović
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          He can do a lot of damage in 60 minutes though.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 12 days ago

            Maximum 60. UCL is priority after they lost, might be benched.

            1. Pras (FPL)
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 12 days ago

              So many assumptions here

    4. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I'm going Salah, Chelsea's defence was horrendous and Liverpool could easily counter on them

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I'm thinking about it too. The game against Arsenal already showed how vulnerable they can be against better sides.

      2. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I'm toying with this. I honestly think people don't appreciate how poor Chelsea have been, despite their points total. Even Arsenal managed to put 2 away against them when they were in early days disarray.

        I won't be surprised if Liverpool smash them

        1. Pacer.
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Oh yes Arsenal mentioned also above haha

      3. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I'm even toying with Richarlison as a better option over 3 games than Hazard

  11. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Please pick 1... a or b ?

    a) ings >>>>> mitrovic - free transfer

    b) mendy/westwood >>>> shaw/richarlison - -4

    Thanks guys.

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      A

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Can I pick neither? 😛

  12. Zebrahimović
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    The price rises and falls this season seem so rapid. I can't remember another season having a team value of 102.8 and 1.0ITB after 6 weeks?
    Either i've bought the right players or the powers that be have decided to make accumulating TV more of a thing this season?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      There are now more players than ever before and they all seem to be kneejerkers who've made the market volatile

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        FPL towers should moderate the thresholds according to %

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          With players acquired via hits getting half the value to trigger rises/drops

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      It's ruining it slightly

    3. is this real
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Could it be because many players were under-owned at the start of the season because of the world cup? Also more injuries and red cards in highly owned players than usual? Both these scenarios would lead to more price movements

  13. jblakes
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    anyone looking at sane? do ppl think he will hold down a first team place now?.

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Yes if Mendy is out for a while

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      As long as Mendy is out , Sane is in, would wait to see news on Mendy before getting him in.
      Pep has previously stated that Mendy takes up the wide left role when he is fit.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        How on earth can you predict that Sane will play every game!? You know what Pep is like with rotation!

      2. FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I brought him in last GW assuming this.

    3. jtreble
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Yes, Sane and Sterling look like good moves now.

  14. Emp
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Thoughts on this alternative wc draft looking to capitalize on the short term fixtures ?
    Plan would be save then use two fts plus money itb to do Ali Kane to salah firminho when pool go to huddersfield. I prefer sterling over hazard in the short term.

    Hart Hamer
    Benet Doherty shaw TAA awb
    Ali sterling Maddison Richarlson ward
    Kane kun mitro

    0.9 itb for salah swap gw9

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Don't like Alli since he is just back from an injury and lacked form before it

  15. Eden Wizard
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Why am i so compelled to play Danny Ward?

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Good shout

    2. Goat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      At least you’d have a player in the “Super” Sunday

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Indeed, sold Zaha for Mitro so, that ruins Monday night!

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Sold Zaha?

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 12 days ago

            no

    2. yakirh

      • 10 Years

      You're not captaining Salah, Mane, Hazard or Aguero, because they don't have a 'C' in their names? 😛

        What? He has like 5 of them?

        (C)orre(C)t!

        If they cared enough to be captain they would change their name accordingly.

        Seriously tho, it's Aguero unless he plays 120 mins vs Oxford and then breaks his knee or something.

        1. Over The Mounié
          • 9 Years

          If it's level after 90 minutes, then it's straight to penalties.

      You couldn't trust any Everton player with the armband

    Well I used my 2 FT on my 2 flagged players last night before price changes. WC still available if needed post League Cup games.

    Mendy & Stephens -->> Doherty & Richarlison

    Anything worth a hit given the fixtures whereby a lot of my players are playing each other?

      sit tight, looks good

        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Ya happy enough to go with the Lpool boys for the 2 tough fixtures. Hopefully a thriller with loads of goals (and Lpool win 🙂 )

      Nah

    Some advise please, for a failing manager.

    My defence is: Wan B - Robertson - Alonso - Shaw - Jazz Richards
    This week I'll defo be benching Jazzy boy, and playing Wan B and Shaw. Which leaves me with a benching headache between Alonso and Robertson.

    Should I:
    a) Play Alonso and bench Robertson
    b) Play Robertson and bench Alonso
    c) sell either of them for Trippier and bench the other, in which case who would you sell?

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 12 days ago

      a

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Play both Alonso and Robertson, even if not the CS, they can get attacking returns easily. I would bench Wan Biss or Shaw.

      1. norwegian-forest-cats
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Actually this. Bench Shaw.

        1. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          I prefer to follow the chance of a clean sheet.

          1. Sgt Frank Drebin
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 12 days ago

            Ok, fine. I always say it's better to follow your own reasoning than to listen some random advice in the internet thoughtlessly 😛

            1. Boris Bodega
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 12 days ago

              They'll probably both score now I've said that....

        2. norwegian-forest-cats
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Man U have only kept 1 clean sheet so far & that was against Burnley

    3. norwegian-forest-cats
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      a) definitely not c

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I'd play Alonso Robbo Shaw and bench AWB

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I can't see a clean sheet in the Chelsea Liverpool game.

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          Me either but the way Robbo and Alonso play they look as likely to be involved in attacking returns as getting a clean sheet.

    Hopefully, Dilva starts and hauls this GW. I will need him to if I am to win a very tight monthly ML as he's one of my differentials.

    1. VS10_
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      You just know Pep will give him 90 minutes for no reason tonight. 🙁

      1. Jarnathan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        He was rested last gameweek specifically for tonight

  21. Tosa86
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    My actual FPL team:

    Hennessy - Fabianski
    Alonso - Mendy** - VVD* - WanBissaka - Holebas
    Manè - Salah - Pedro* - Stephens* - Neves
    Arnautovic* - Aguero - Zaha

    * = injury with 75%, but skipped this for Arni and Pedro
    ** = injury with unknown date
    FT: 1
    ItB: 0.1
    WC: 1

    Do i ned to play my WC? if yes, below the possible solution:

    Hennessy - Fabianski
    Alonso - LAPORTE - ARNOLD - WanBissaka - Holebas
    Manè - Salah - RICHARLISON - HOJBJERG - MADDISON
    MITROVIC - Aguero - Zaha

    Any suggestion or feedback?
    Thanks

    1. Klein
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Pedro to richarlison for me. Maybe a hit for mendy to trippier. But i wouldnt wc

  22. DOGS
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Have 2FT?? or any other suggestions

    Mendy & Van Dijk > Monreal & Walker

  23. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    I see Salah is no longer 'essential'. Therefore he'll probably score a hatty this weekend.

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      He's only averaging 1.5 points less than last season

      A brace and bonus and in one week he'd be back on track averaging for a 300. Volatile early days

  24. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Dammit - I wasn't paying attention and Mendy dropped twice!

    What's the consensus on the best replacement - Delph/Trent?

    1. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Sit tight for now if the other four of your Defenders are playing. That's what I'm doing.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Fair, and wait for news I guess. If I'd been paying attention I'd have wanted to make the move before the drop. Now I can afford another one I guess

    2. VS10_
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      If you didn't get rid before the weekend I really don't see any sense in getting rid before we get the next update on him, even if that costs 0.1m.

  25. gryffsonofarthur
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Sit two of the following:

    A) Jota (Home) vs Southampton
    B) Wan-Bissaka @ Bournmouth
    C) Van Aanholt @ Bournemouth
    D) Sigurdsson (Home) vs Fulham
    E) King (Home) vs Palace
    F) Fraser (Home) vs Palace

    1. norwegian-forest-cats
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      C & A

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Palace defenders.

    3. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      I wouldn't double up on Palace Def so one of AWB or PvA has to be benched. Probably AWB but very little in it. Everton could have a lot joy against that Fulham defense and Bournemouth are nailed on to score for me so I wouldn't bench Siggy, King or Fraser. That leaves Jota and AWB on the bench.

    4. Dyballer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      B and F.

      Only prefer King to Fraser for the pen advantage and Van Aanholt to AWB for the better attacking potential. Wouldn’t want to double up on either team tho. Jota also doesn’t seem like a fantastic option, but SOT home is a nice fixture

  26. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years

    Did anyone watch the Fulham game on Saturday? I only caught the first 30 mins and they looked terrible at the back..Richarlison could haul

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      watched for around 60mins and they were all over the place... no defensive shape

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Agree

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      They looked better in the second half when Odoi came in for Mawson and Ayite for McDonald, but still, they are awful at the back.

    4. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Watched it all - dreadful first half, shored up a bit when Odoi + Ayita (sp?) came on.

      Watford dropped off a bit as well though second half, they were running straight through them in the first 45.

      Can see a Richy double, especially if he persists with Fosu-Mensah on that side - not convinced by him at all.

    5. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      was at the game. First half was absolutely shocking but second was a bit better once Odoi came on.

      Main conclusion from the game is Mitrovic looks incredible at 6.9m

  27. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Advice greatly appreciated! 0.1 ITB, 1FT. Keen to get Richarlison back in.

    Patricio
    Alonso, Laporte, Doherty
    Hazard, Mane, Fraser, Maddison
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Lukaku

    (Hennessey, AWB, TAA, Hojbjerg)

    A) Save FT (prepare for Kane/Salah/Rich...)
    B) Lukaku (whu) & Hojbjerg -> Richarlison (FUL) & Ings (-4)
    C) Something else...

    1. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Save.

  28. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    2fts and no clue what to do. At 77k

    Patricio

    Doherty/PVA/Alonso

    Mane/Haz/Maddison/Dilva

    Kun/Mitrovic/Wilson

    (Hamer/AWB/Hughes/Mendy)

    Mendy ➡️ Trippier for free.

    Leading MLs and want to stay ahead.

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Yeah looks good.

    2. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Mendy to Trippier sounds good.

    3. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Mendy to Trippier is ideal mostly to keep the scores level - can imagine most with him in league will do same transfer

  29. Eden Wizard
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 12 days ago

    Liverpool have looked ultra-solid, can't decide whether play or bench Robbo, this impacts Hazard (on my pitch)

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Look at each individual in isolation is my advice. I think most will have a benching headache between Alonso, TAA/Robertson and AWB 🙂

      I'm starting Alonso, for now.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Was going to bench and hope for a goalfest

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          If it a goalfest then Alonso will have a decent chance of attacking returns:)

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Salah beats Alonso to the ball from a Robertson cross. GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        My captain 😎 lol

    3. GianniBanani
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      This. Im considering benching Alonso over Robertson. I can imagine Liverpool wins 1 or 2 with clean sheet

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Premium defs can give attacking return even if no CS.
      I can see goals in this game but also Robbo and Alonso may give some returns.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Of course, potentially some bench points this week:

        AWB - Ward - Robertson

    5. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Play him.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        Instead of who?

        ----Mendy (BHA) Doherty (SOT) Shaw (whm)
        Salah (che) Hazard (LIV) Richy (FUL) Bilva (BHA)
        ------Kun (BHA) Jiminez (SOT) Mitro (eve)
