    Mane to Ricchi for a hit is madness right?

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yup

    2. Brosstan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yes. Some people are doing it though.

    3. jomikijiq
      8 years, 19 days ago

      right

    4. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      It's not madness, just really poor planning.

  2. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Wildcard decision....which one?

    A) Wan-b (bou, WOL, eve, ARS, che, TOT, mun, BUR)
    B) Bamba (BUR, tot, FUL, liv, LEI, BRI, eve, WOL)

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      The one who doesn't play for Cardiff.

      1. Pinturicchio10
        8 years, 19 days ago

        This makes perfect sense ^^

    3. slove
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A is a season keeper

  3. FCSB
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Last minute advice please?

    Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Mendy
    Hazard Dilva Mane Fraser Richarlison
    Aguero Zaha

    Hamer King AWB Tomkins

    0.1 ITB

    Anything worth -4 hit here???

    Thanks

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nope, gtg

    2. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Mendy > Wan-Bissaka
      Otherwise it looks fine mate 🙂

    3. Planet Head
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Possibly Tomkins out for Doherty - you'll need to transfer Tomkins out soon anyway with Palace's fixtures turning.

      1. FCSB
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Worth a hit?? Thanks

        1. Planet Head
          8 years, 19 days ago

          With Mendy out you're either picking a Palace defender (they're bound to concede at least 1 to Bournemouth, then their next 6 fixtures are just horrible) or take a hit on bringing in a Wolves defender who is very likely to get 2-3 clean sheets in next 4 games plus real attacking potential. Defo worth a hit.

  4. Mackans
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Mendy -> Trippier worth a hit? Otherwise I will play Smith vs CRY.

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Play smith

    2. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not worth a hit.

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hopefully
      I did it

    4. jomikijiq
      8 years, 19 days ago

      no

  5. Henning
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Gtg?
    Or should i play someone from the bench?

    Hennessey

    Robertson Alonso Doherty

    Hazard D.Silva Maddison Moura Pogba

    Aguero Mitrovic

    Hamer Ings Wan-Bissaka Cook

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Gtg

    2. Planet Head
      8 years, 19 days ago

  6. paza12
    8 years, 19 days ago

    G2G? On WC:

    Patricio, Hamer
    TAA, Alonso, Wan Bissaka, Laporte, Trippier
    Hazard, Sterling, Fraser, Richarlison, Maddison
    Ings, Aguero, Mitrovic.

    Cheers!

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yup as long as you have a plab to bring Liverpool in

    2. Planet Head
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Would go Jimenez over Ings at the min

  7. North_East_FF_Pro
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Hi guys,

    Have i got my bench right?

    Patricio

    Shaw, Robbo, Alonso, Wan B

    Dilva, Hazard, Richarlison, Maddison

    Aguero, Mane

    (Hamer, Ings, Bennett, Hoijberg)

    1. North_East_FF_Pro
      8 years, 19 days ago

      That is Kane not Mane lol

    2. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yup

    3. slove
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Looks right to me

    4. pollz
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I would play bennet over wan bissaka

      1. Planet Head
        8 years, 19 days ago

        This

  8. TyroneGAA
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Hennessey and Robertson to enderson and Laporte? For free and have the exact cash?

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yh if nothing else needs addressing

    2. TyroneGAA
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hennessy
      Robertson alanso trip
      Mane rick hazard pogba
      Aguero Zaha Wilson

      I have to many people playing each other and think it’s worth doing!! What ya think?

    3. PrettyDick
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I wouldn't. In my eyes they're both potential season keepers, and you'd loose cash on bringing them back eventually. And both of them always have a decent chance of getting you something.

      Plus City have a good fixture today, but after that Liverpools are better than Citys so after today you'd rather want Robertson over Laporte (that's my analysis anyway, might be wrong of course)

      good luck

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        This...…...and I think you will regret doing this....

      2. TyroneGAA
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I know but I am worried that 7 of my 11 players this week are in two games

  9. Fernando Torres
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Lost last page

    Play Bennett or Robbo?
    First to 2

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Robbo

    2. Podge
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Bennett

    3. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Bennett

    4. Marian Kuna Guero
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Robbo

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Robertson

    6. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      play both

  10. Scotty B
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play TAA or Cook?

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      TAA

  11. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Who to play this week?

    A) Begovic (CRY)
    B) Fabianski (MUN)

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Fabianski, both could concede but Fab will probably make more saves.

    2. PrettyDick
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Surely Begovic

    3. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A

  12. Scotty B
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I think if you have VVD or Robbo this week you play them regardless so doesn't the same apply to TAA?

    1. Brosstan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Id bench Robbo or VVD for Wolves defenders. Many will be playing Alonso, Trippier and Doherty/Bennett

    2. BIG TONES
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yes

  13. slasken
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bottomed :/

    Hi. Please help me bench one: Currently benching D Fraser.
    A) Shaw (WHU - A)
    B) Doherty (Sou - H)
    C) Wilson (CRY - H)
    D) Fraser (CRY - H).

    Also is Firminio to Vardy worth a hit long term?
    1: Yes
    2: No

    1. Atimis
      8 years, 19 days ago

      C - despite of cup game, bad stats lately

      Also, with regards to A, can see United losing to WH

    2. PrettyDick
      8 years, 19 days ago

      C and no

  14. Atimis
    8 years, 19 days ago

    GTG?

    Hart
    Alonso/Trippier/Doherty
    Hazard/Richa/Maddison/Fraser
    Kane/Kun(c)/Mitro

    Ryan/TAA/WB/Hojberg

    Funds ITB to do Salah switch and upgrade Trippier to Mendy/Robo later on.

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Gtg

  15. EMERGING STAR
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Why Doherty is so popular here?
    Nothing much other than the 12 pointer. Or am I missing something?

    A little more money and then you have Holebas, Chilwell, TAA

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wolves solid, hes a cheap 4th/5th defender who seems solid in starting xi

    2. Ed
      8 years, 19 days ago

      v attacking I believe

    3. Brosstan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Check out his heatmap

    4. Boss Hogg
      8 years, 19 days ago

      4.4m for a defender who basically plays on the wing, gets a couple of shots on goal every game, plus crosses. And plays in a top half side who don't concede many.
      And is nailed on to start every week.

      Anything else?

    5. jomikijiq
      8 years, 19 days ago

      he's very attacking, budget Alonso

    6. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wolves defence is very strong and his attacking stats are great, looks a steal at that price.

    7. Adz87
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wolves playing decent defensively and he's playing very advanced

    8. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wolves are solid and will likely finish top 10. Gets forward a lot and (before last night) was 4.4

    9. slasken
      8 years, 19 days ago

      You are misssing a lot. Watch a wolves game. He is basicly playing right winger/attacker hehe.
      Had a unlucky start with own goal etc, and several assists missed by teamates etc. Pure FPL gold.

    10. BIG TONES
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Gets forward, plays for a decent team

    11. EMERGING STAR
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Thanks guys. I should watch him playing rather than going with history

  16. Bookmark
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bench two:
    A AWB
    B Tarkowski
    C Robertson
    D Mane

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A B

    2. Ed
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A&B without a doubt

    3. slove
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Easily a and b

  17. Giorgi89
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Guys, been stuck there:

    Salah to Sterling before deadline (FT)
    then Sterling to Salah next week (FT)

    Is it worth losing 2FTs? Idea is Sterling is 90% starter today with great fixture but rotation risk next week

    Thanks a lot

    1. slove
      8 years, 19 days ago

      You must have very little else wrong with your team to burn 2 transfers across 2GW

      1. Giorgi89
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Rest of the team is:
        Hennessey (Hamer)
        Alonso - Trippier - Monreal - Bennett - WB
        Salah - Hazard - Maddi - Schurlle - Neves
        Kun - Mitro - Wilson
        1FT 0.3ITB

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      8 years, 19 days ago

      In my experience these plans to swap a player out then get him back rarely go well..... To many things that can happen which ruins the plan

    3. Marian Kuna Guero
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Just keep Salah and save precious FT

  18. woody3260
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Firmino, Pereyra, Kamara > Vardy, Obiang, Mitrovic -8

    Maddness?

    1. Tsparkes10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Tempting

    2. Atimis
      8 years, 19 days ago

      50/50

    3. Atimis
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Uhhh its -8, so rather madness after all 😀

    4. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Involving Obiang in a -8..... just, no.

  19. No Salah
    8 years, 19 days ago

    A) Kane+ hojberg
    B) Laca + Son

    B gives me playing front 8.

  20. slove
    8 years, 19 days ago

    How essential is Rich for the next few weeks?

    1. Brosstan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not at all

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Fairly essential imo.

    3. BIind Moth
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I wouldn't class him as essential yet but there's rumours of him playing as a striker. If this is true then yeah, he's worthy of the E word.

    4. Marian Kuna Guero
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No one is essential this season

    5. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not at all

  21. zizoo10
    8 years, 19 days ago

    really worried, is this side good enough for this week?

    Patricio
    Alonso • TAA • AWB
    Salah • Mane • Maddison • Wally
    Kun • Zaha • King

    1. Fletcher Mathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'd be trying to shift out Walcott if you've a FT

  22. Weilong7
    8 years, 19 days ago

    kepa (hamer)
    luiz robertson laporte AWB (peltier)
    salah mane bernardo walcott (stephens)
    kun zaha (kamara)

    1FT 2ITB

    suggestions?

    walcott to maddison?
    mane to hazard?
    kamara to someone else?

  23. RomeluAndJuliet
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play one:

    A) Robertson
    B) Bennett (already have Par in goal)
    C) AWB

    1. slasken
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Robertson.

  24. Ha.
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Anything need a hit?

    Begivic
    AWB, Boly, Alonso
    Fraser, Haz, Mane, Maddison
    Mitro, Aguero (c), Zaha

    Foster VVD, Mendy, Westwood

  25. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    So looking at the numbers, Hud have conceded 3/6/0/1/1/3 while Bri have conceded 2/2/1/2/2/2.

    That, coupled with the fact Kun will almost certainly be hauled around the 60 minute mark, surely make Kane the preferred option?

    1. Atimis
      8 years, 19 days ago

      But City is H while Spurs are away

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        All the more reason. Brighton will have to keep it very tight which they do well. Spurs are just as good away. And Huddersfield are terrible.

    2. cheeky moses
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Fair point. Although, how do you think the absence of Eriksen and Alli will affect Kane's output? Surely two important creative players.

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        True enough. But Spurs should have enough quality to beat gem comprehensively. And there will be more of an onus on Kane to score.

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Could easily captain Kane, Mitrovic, Richarlison this week but scared of Aguero getting haul and not being on him. Thinking these 3 offer sufficient differential value to get decent points even if Aguero captain fails. Or is this the time to be different and put captaincy on Richarlison or Kane?

  27. marcusegeland
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Whom should I bench: Fraser, Mane or Maddison??

    1. Ha.
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Fraser

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Maddi

    3. cheeky moses
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Mane

  28. Clarity
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Guys bit of a benching dilemma!

    Who to play?

    A) AWB (I have Wilson)
    B) Cook
    C) Bennett (playing patricio and also have ings playing)

    1. Adz87
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I play Bennett over ings and go for max points

  29. BrutalLogiC
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bench ward or madd?

    1. jomikijiq
      8 years, 19 days ago

      ward

  30. Ivz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Ederson, set and forget.
    Or Hart/Ryan combo..

    1. cheeky moses
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Patricio, set and forget?
