    Any changes needed?

    Etheridge
    Laporte Robertson Alonso
    Mane Hazard Maddison Fraser
    Mitrovic Aguero Murray

    Hart Moutinho Holebas AWB

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Murray is an interesting one but i kinda like it. If you have 1 FT left then save

    2. samaael
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      i like murray pick

    3. JammySprat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Got to consider moutinho & holebas over Murray at city

  2. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    2 FT and 0.7 ITB

    Schmeical
    AWB, Alonso, TAA,
    Haz, Fraser, Lucas M, Salah
    Aguero, Zaha, Jimenez

    Speroni, Mendy, Kabasele, H Odoi

    Tempted to go: Kabasele for Shaw/Boly or Mendy for Laporte/Trip/Shaw.... thoughts?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for pressers news on mendy, if he’s still out I would be tempted to ship him out

    2. Johnny Leghorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think Mendy to Trip is a good move with fixtures.

  3. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I know im going to Capt Aguero but damn Jimenez is tempting 😉

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

      All aboard...

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Elaborate 🙂

    2. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Has to be Aguero at home surely? But go with your gut!

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ill go Jimenez as vice captain :p

  4. Pigsinblankets
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all, going away for the weekend so going to need to semi set my team in this morning

    De gea
    AWB Alonso Robbo
    Hazard Mane Fraser Bilva Maddison
    Aguero (C) Zaha

    Stek Mendy Peltier Kamara

    1.0 ITB, 1FT

    Any changes needed or roll the FT?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good, roll

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy over AWB surely

      1. Pigsinblankets
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Assuming he's out, but yeah obviously would if there's a hint of him starting

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

    What to do with this lot?
    Starting line-up and Captain correct?
    1FT, 0.1ITB

    Hennessey
    TAA Shaw Bennett
    Salah (C) Hazard Richarlison Dilva
    Lacazette Zaha Mitro

    Foster; Alonso AWB Ward

    1. JammySprat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If Silva start might be safer cap without ag

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

    As it stands (if Mendy is unfit) I have Fraser King AWB Tomkins Zaha in the BOU CPL game and Haz Salah Robbo in the CHE LIVE game. 8 players .

    Thinking Peltier>Wolves def and bench Tomkins is a good use of FT. Or Wildcard?

    Patricio
    AWB Tomkins Robbo (Mendy Peltier)
    Haz Salah Richarlison Fraser (Cairney)
    Zaha Aguero (c) King

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't waste a FT on Peltier personally.

    2. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves defender would be a good shout. not good with so many opposing players, now is quite a good time for wc with fixture swings

    3. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah do that to bring in Bennett.

  7. captainjilflex
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    GTG?
    DDG
    VVD Alonso Trippier
    Salah Fraser Maddison Lucas
    Kun Mitro Zaha

    Hamer Chilwell AWB Stephens
    Tough bench choice this week

  8. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Dammit, cant shake off this Mitrovi(c) bug.
    Mitro will probably play 90mins, Everton defence is all over the shop, and he is the focal point of the Fulham attack.
    Kun is the firm favorite, though. But UcL means that minutes will be controlled by Pep. Brighton arent exactly Huddersfield either.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Im thinking same with Jimenez

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I own him too. Optimistic for returns as well!

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Easy brace this weekend 😉

    2. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Im going safe with kun

    3. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      richalarison is who im really tempted by but I have thought about mitro aswell , good pick but I'll probably end on aguero tbh

    4. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      taking captaincy from agüero is a huge risk. I wish he doesnt play at all and we all look up to our vice captains lol. I'm willing to give the armband to Hazard but cant risk as I believe all players in my private league will make Kun (c).

    5. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro (vc) for me.

  9. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on bellerin as a Mendy replacement?

    Decent fixtures till December and still have wc to play.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Have a feeling with Toreirra starting matches, Arsenal defence wont be as shambolic as it has been. Monreal a better pick imo.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Kolasinac back soon?

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I only plumped for bellerin as I thought less rotation risk.

        Not sure if arsenal defender worth it or not, but like you I think they will improve.

        Question is whether worth the cash over Doherty.

  10. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Im considering but Lich is lurking

  11. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I miss Özil posting press conference times 🙁

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He stopped assisting us 🙁

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ozil not turning up?

      Ffs mirroring reality.

  12. DOUBLEDOWN
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Robertson to Trippier for -4 worth it?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      God no

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. DOUBLEDOWN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks. I get twitchy on a Friday lol

  13. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Better combo for next 2:

    A) Trippier + Arnautovic
    B) Bennett/WB + Richarlison for -4

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A if Marco is fit

    2. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Really tough one can see trippier doing well but can't see arnie doing much while the bennett/awb combo looks good and richalarison could explode in his next two game both good options but B for me just

  14. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Jota or gundo ?
    #Draft

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      either

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Gundo

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Jota is so GW1, and a massive disappointment

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I know right!!
        He was in my team for 3 gw, replaced him with Mkhi, who again was a disappointment.

        Replaced Mkhi with Pogba, who is going towards the same path. #cursed

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

      Dont loose spot with gundo

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Don't have other city options to bring in

  15. Jules Rimet
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone considering Knockaert?
    Last six games (points): 2 5 2 6 4 7

    Pretty good for a 5.5m nailed attacking midfielder playing for Brighton.
    Brightons fixtures also rotate well with Frasers.
    Nine great games for Brighton after City game.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hmmm... Not sure. Didn't he go about 30 games in a row without scoring before last week?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Apparently he was suffering with depression last season which he is coping with better this season.
        He says he's a different player this year which can be seen from his performances.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Looked good recently, I agree. Not sure about Brighton as a team though. But he's really cheap!

        2. Jules Rimet
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, that is true. His father died and his wife divorced him almost at the same time during mid season last year. I think he is a new player this season and I quite Iike Brightons fixtures and his new role in the team behind Murray. Also his results for the last six gameweeks speak of great form. 1 goal, 3 assists, 2 baps in six games already.

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I like the idea

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

      Just brought him in.

      Bench this week then he's good to go until GW16. We'll see how it works out.

  16. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Someone else tell me they're considering Phil Foden plez

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Log off mate, its for your own good

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hahaha, top of my 40 private league atm. I have Hud Odoi and 0.7 ITB so for extra 0.5 Foden is tempting as my 5th Mid

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          What’s the point of wasting a ft on your third bench spot?

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Rest of team is decent atm, just a thought :). Not saying ill do it

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Helder Costa at
          4.9, starts for Wolves in their front three at the moment.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Not a bad shout

    2. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      well that would definitely be a leap of faith

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Only as a 5th mid and last place on bench ;). Fixtures could mean he gets a start soon though

        1. altan8797
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Well I certainly hope that he does 🙂 but I wouldn't waste both money and a man city spot for him

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            True i guess, money isnt the issue but man city spot is a good point. Hmmmm

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bench fodder for UcL fantasy for me.

  17. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do I risk the Kane switch?

    Salah and ings to Kane and Richarlison

    I have Mane and robbo and not convinced on the Liverpool triple up. I have wc to hit to get salah back after gw8.

    Or do I go safe and do mane to hazard or sterling?

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I really like the top transfers there

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Damn that looks tempting

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I did Salah and Zaha to Son and Kane. Salah will be back though

    4. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm planning to ditch sterling to bring in Kane with the money (next week). I know its a risk but at least there is no rotation risk compared to sterling. But if you have doubts on Kane, just keep mane or go for hazard

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That’s it, there are doubts over Kane and I’m not fully convinced. But on the flip side, two games against the worst two teams for shots conceded in the league

        1. altan8797
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          exactly, fixtures are tempting. And he's going to explode at some point.

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

      Push the button

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not until we’ve seen more from Kane, and from Spurs.

  18. Neves say Neves
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all,

    This is my team as of now
    1FT 0.8ITB

    Patricio

    Robbo Alonso WBA Laporte
    Salah Mane Walcott Fraser
    Aguero Arnautovic

    Foster Ings Smith Hughes

    A) Arnie>Mitro
    B) Walcott > Madders/Richy
    C) Both -4
    D) Any suggestions?

    Probably wildcarding in next couple of weeks for fixture swings.

    Ta in advance

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      See above, Kane and Richarlison in for salah and ings

  19. pstokes2010
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    About to take an 18 hour flight to Manila so won’t get to change the team again. Have taken a punt on Richarlison to try and improve from 31k. How does this look?

    Ederson

    Mendy Bennett Alonso

    Mane Fraser Richarlison (c) Hazard

    Arnautovic Aguero Mitrovic

    Speroni Van Dijk Neves Duffy

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg

    2. Ready Player One
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Big gamble when you have an ‘in-form’ Aguero vs BRI

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Think Rich is a decent punt.
      31k is a good rank at this stage u lucky git.

      Enjoy Manila, Philippines is a great spot.

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

      Capt Aguero you animal.

  20. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    If you had Kun and Kane, which one would you captain? Will Brighton away not park the bus and try limit the damage?

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Aggy

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kun. Spurs not in great form, and no Eriksen. Owning Kane is a differential enough.

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Been on (K)un all week. Overthinking this yes. Thank you Royal and good luck

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          GL! 🙂

  21. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all!
    Best replacement for De Gea? Got 6.1m to spend. Hamer is my 2nd GK.

    1. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      for long term, fabianski or hart. They get regular save points even if there is no cs, and they're cheap.

  22. Ready Player One
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all

    Kane vs Hud for 90mins (likely mins)
    Or
    Aguero vs BRI for 60mins (likely mins)

    ??

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      True for minutes you guessed.

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

      60 minutes of Aguero will be enough...

  23. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is it time to get rid of David Silva ?? If yes then...

    A. Maddison
    or
    B. Sane
    or
    C. Ramsey

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ramsey!? Yikes. Surely keep Silva. Was rested last time.

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

        This

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No, not this week as the risk is too high he could punish hard. If you did, it wouldn't be C - he's just had his new contract pulled so who knows what that will mean.

      B is Mendy news dependant so unless that becomes reliable, it's A by default...if you make the move, imo.

  24. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So this is going to be the week Walcott scores a 15 pointer.

    Anyway i don't own him and happy about that.

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

      Not happy at all. But keeping for this week. Bou just conceded 4, so hoping for a goal bonanza on Monday night.

      Yeah I’d do it, depending on fixtures.
