    Will Alli play vs Huddersfield or rested barca?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Should play something. I’d imagine 60-70?

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      With Eriksen out I think he will play

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Don't know. I'm avoiding Spurs mids. A lot of uncertainty there even with Eriksen out.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would be surprised if he doesn't play.

        • 8 Years

        Maybe they unflagged him to lock his price...

          Oof, good shout!

      5. HamezMace
        • 11 Years

        Still Peltier, Warnock trolling in his press conference.

      6. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Mitrovic - 5 goals in 6 games including away at Tottenham & City, playing Everton who have conceded 11 so far with no cleansheets.

      7. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Stephens.

      8. Baps Hunter

        Kamara!

    8. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If you had to sell one of King or Wilson, who would you sell?

      King has much better stats in the last 2 games, but before that it was Wilson.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson.
        I don't own King... 😉

      2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Whichever one you sell will score and whichever one you keep will blank.

        This is the King-Wilson law.

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Absolutely this... Had king at the start of the year... Swapped to Wilson. Now I want to end my life.

          Or both of theirs

      3. Ain't No Holebas Girl
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson cheaper but King on pens... close so would probably go Fraser instead of either!

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          They're the same price

      4. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Keep King as he is on penalties.

      5. MTPockets
          7 years, 6 months ago

          king

        • Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I sold King this week for Mitrovic.

          Wilson looks more likely to score but King has pens. Toss up really. I'd probably keep Wilson.

      6. Loðbrók
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Expecting Son to start?
        How did he look against Brighton last week and Watford midweek?

      7. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Is it just me or does it feel like Alonso waits for the spacific moment you transfer him in, then just stops being interested in scoring attacking points. I'm starting to thinks it's personal....

        I'll wait for another fruitless 3/4 weeks transfer him out then he'll explode again.

        It's like baines all over again. Never drop, never captain.

        1. JoeSoap
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Had him from the start and done ok. Got him last year and he stopped his scoring points after I got him. There a few players like that, look at Hazard for those who got him last week.

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            He dried up as soon as I got him last season too.

            Don't have him at the moment, will wait until Chelsea fixtures improve before considering getting him in now.

        2. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He's the top scoring player in the game - what does he have to do for you to not moan about him?

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Score for my team?

            1. Snevitz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              He got a cleansheet last gameweek....

              1. Tommyg
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Your a glass half full kinda guy aren't you?

                1. Snevitz
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 6 months ago

                  6 points a week is 228 points in a season, when a defender gets a cleansheet it equals and attacker scoring a goal.

        3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          could be something in it 😉

          his attacking stats have dropped off considerably last two

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Ha. Exactly. What have I done to you Marcos? If your there let's have a pint and talk it through....

            1. Costa Nostra
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Yes...please get it sorted so we can all get back to big returns.

        4. Kanga roo
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          So you've had him for 2 weeks?

      8. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Pedro>Richarlison the best move this week? Zero in bank

        FAB
        Robertson, Chilwell, Alonso, AWB
        Salah, Mane, BSilva
        Aguero, Zaha, Mitro
        Foster, Pedro, Peltier, Odoi

          Sound move.

        Get Arnie upflagged!! I want to see my team with 1 less orange or red

        7 years, 6 months ago

        Repost as bottomed on the last page:

        Seems people with Ings & a Wolves defender (normally Doherty) are benching Ings instead of the defender. Seems crazy to me as he's the focal point of Southampton, on penalties and fresh having not played last week.

        I know Southampton aren't great but surely a striker is favoured over a defender in close calls like this?! what am I missing?!

        1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Totally agree, particularly if it’s for Bennett whose only chance if points is a CS.

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Doherty I can understand because he has a lot of attacking threat but I'd definitely play Ings over Bennett.

      11. RAFA THE GAFFA

        *Puts armband on Arnautovic* 😎

        1. Tommyg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I'm seriously thinking about mitro (c)

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I wouldn’t do that!

        2. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          And that's why you're Rafa the gaffa and not Kloppa the toppa.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years

            Good one mate 😯

          Noice.

      12. ajones1608
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Would you rather:

        A). Rotate between Ings & Knockaert & have 1.1m spare

        B). Have Mitro & have 0.1m spare

        1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          B

          1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Do Southampton and Brighton rotate well?

            1. ajones1608
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Yep, pretty well!

        2. ajones1608
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          B I would have Neves also, so would only play Mitro

        3. Johnny 8
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          B

      13. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        any ideas here gents? 2FT and 0m itb and plan to WC in gw10 so looking at next 3gw's only. Kane or Salah is the big question

        Patricio -- Foster
        Alonson • Shaw • Mendy -- Robbo • AWB
        Salah • Dilva • Maddison • Pedro -- Stephens
        Kun • Zaha • King

        A: Mendy + Pedro >> Trippier + Rich...sensible move
        B: Mendy + Pedro >> Doherty + Rich. and leave money itb to do Kun >> Kane (c) in gw8
        C: Mendy (if out) + Salah + Zaha >> Trippier + Rich + Kane (-4)
        D: Pedro (if out) + Salah + Zaha >> Ramsey + Rich + Kane (-4)

        C/D are similar...need to decide who scores more between trippier/pedro and awb/ramsey next few weeks
        A is the logical move but no obvious cpt choice in gw8. B is a workaround solution but might be tough to get rid of Kun as i have had him from the start so will loose value

        1. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          B for me.

      14. SuperHam
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Is Mane > Alli just stupid for the next 2 or 3 weeks?

        I already have Salah and Robbo, and Spurs fixtures are as good as possible, while Liverpool's are as bad as possible.

        Only issue is I wouldn't have Hazard for their game against Southampton...

        Still have wildcard by the way

        1. DF
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Alli is a very good pick at the moment. He's full of beans and loves a streak. You'll enjoy that tranfer

      15. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        If mitro was 11m would you captain him?

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No, no this week, maybe next week regardless of price though.

          1. Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            It’s a fair point though.

          2. I Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            You'd rather captain him against Arsenal than Fulham?

            1. Gregor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I’d rather captain Aguero this week, but next week is more difficult and Mitrovic at home to an Arsenal who play on the Thursday is pretty tempting.

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          😀

        3. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          For 11m, I'd bench him.

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Haha.

        4. SuperHam
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I'd consider it, but still think Aguero is a better option this week

        5. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Not this week.

          But was seriously considering it last week price independent.

          Likewise, Richarlison is my vice captain right now and I'm tempted to cap him.

        6. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No as I wouldn't own him at that price.
          If you don't own Aguero or Kane then I think Mitrovic/Richarlson are the next best options this week.

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Why not? The second most lethal striker in the game.

            1. Kanga roo
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Plays for a rubbish team

            2. Snevitz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Because I think Hazard, Aguero & Mane will have more points than him at the end of the season so all offer better value at a similar price. Don't get me wrong though, I think he is worth owning - I just got him on my WC.

        7. DF
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          If he was 11 million I'd probably have Kane

        8. LSK
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Nobody would have him at 11 million

        9. DeathoftheParty

          If he bagged 30 this year and went to Chelsea for £50m next year... Then yes.

        Third WC draft... hows she looking?

        Hart Hamer
        Alonso Shaw Trippier AWB Jonny
        Hazard Ricarlison Maddison Fraser Moutinho
        Kun Kane Mitro

        Stuck on Moutinho or maybe Knockaerdt? Or is midfield too light? Hmm... any help appreciated!

          Knockaert can be interesting but you'll have benching headaches every week. Why go with Shaw, United seems to be in a flux

          Good balance but weekly team choice could be a headache. Hope that you have checked fixtures for rotation.
          Shaw the only one I'm not keen on but really like the front eight, I fancy moutinho to come good.
          Good luck.

            Thanks guys, decent advice. Would have 5.4 to replace shaw... TAA?

        Want to get rid of VVD. PICK ONE:
        A) Doherty + Giroud (-4)
        B) Shaw + Zaha (-4)
        C) Trippier + Jimenez (-4)
        D) Laporte + King

        1. SPorting

          I haven't seen that many terrible combinations since Germany played South Korea....urgh.

          1. openerhm
            • 9 Years

            whats the best DEF and ST combo for £12.5m?

            1. SPorting
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Difficult to say without the whole team but Knockaert + Jimenez might work.

          Just sell him for free. The -4 options are UGLY

        Considering a free switch from Mané to Sterling this week (own Salah).

        Just don’t know if I want to be dreading the team sheet every week. Expensive for a rotation risk, but explosive.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I'd do it. Nice differential.

      19. Bluth Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Seems my Rico punt didn't work out as hoped. Who's the best 4.5 def long term?

        1. Bluth Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Should add I already have Doherty and AWB.

          1. Hasselbaink Forever
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Brighton have decent fixtures from GW8-16, Newcastle form GW9-18

        2. FPL Touches
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Cathcart

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yedlin.

          Also, you’ll not want him this week, but you might be able to get Dunk for £4.3m next week and his fixtures are mint.

        4. MTPockets
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Yedlin/Duffy/Kabalese

        5. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Who would you transfer out this week?

          Schmeichel
          Mendy Cook Alonso
          Mane Dilva Maddison Moura Hazard
          Zaha Aguero

          Stekelenburg AWB TAA Kamara

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Mendy if ruled out. Moura's chances of starting have increased with the Eriksen injury and personally I think Silva will play.

        6. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          If you put the armband on Mitro or Rich this week and it went tits up, would that make you more or less likely to choose a maverick C next week?

          Just trying to get an insight into the FFS psyche.

          1. openerhm
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            less

          2. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Less. But generally over the years I've found it's better to not gamble on captaincy and instead just have differentials in your team and hope your stronger managerial skills win out. It's lower variance.

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Agree with this. Differential captains seldom work out over time.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              If I'm prepared to put the armband on Mitrovic or Richarlison when Aguero has Brighton at home I guess I would be capable of anything.

          3. tvz32
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Already set on doing Mane to Richarlison with my FT.

            Would you go so far as to take a -4 to upgrade Kamara to Mitro (Rich and Mitro are facing each other this week)

            If i do not upgrade Mitro, I will have to play Tomkins

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Don't think I'd do that move, but if so then yeah maybe.

              Foursomes - reckon it will be 2-2 or 2.5 - 1.5 to the US

              1. diesel001

                Hate Sky always trying to defend European decisions. Call it as it is. Bjorn made mistakes with no Poulter and pairing Rose with Rahm. I'll give him credit for the Molinari / Fleetwood partnership.

            3. openerhm
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              just play Tomkins. I wouldn't say mitro is likely to outscore Tomkins this week by more than 4 points

            4. The Red Devil
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Start 3-
              Trippier
              Robertson
              Alonso
              AWB

              Captain Kane or aguero?

              Arnie > 100% Fit
              Daniels > Back in training
              Pedro & Mendy news still to go....fingers crossed at least 1 is fit.

                Defensive triple up? Jeesus fooking christ I can only imagine what it would feel to watch Wolves concede an 85th minute goal in a 3-1 win
