      AWB

      1. Zizou

        Awb

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think Tomkins. More goal threat but little chance of CS.

  2. niksan
    • 9 Years

    Bench one?
    A) Mane
    B) Ings

        Yeah think wolves will keep clean sheet

      i reckon ings scores

  3. sambyy

      Correct bench and order?
      Anything worth a hit to get Mitro or Rich?
      Can I just log out now and enjoy the golf??

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

        I think roll with it, good team

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

      I worry some may be left feeling silly if Robbo delivers attacking returns against chels. 1 assist is all it takes with 90 mins to score 5 points - regardless of clean sheet or not.

    4. Tmel
      • 15 Years

      Patricio
      Walker Robbo Alonso
      Fraser Richarlison Hazard Mane Maddison
      Arnie Kun 
      (Stek Ings AWB Mendy)

      a) G2G (roll FT and potentially move for Kane next week) 
      b) Mendy > Trippier (and bench Robbo or Arnie)

      1. Gandolph
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Looks gtg for me

    5. Gandolph
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Morning Guys,

      McCarthy / Hamer

      Mendy/Alonso/Bennet

      Fraser/Rich/Salah/Haz/Neves

      Firm/Kun

      Hamer/AWB/TAA/Quaner

      1FT and 0.3m ITB.

      A. Would you do firm to laca?
      B. Or take out Mendy? Although there is cover on bench
      C. Save FT?

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

      Think I'm gonna roll my transfer this week, perhaps do 2 or 3 next week.
      BUT
      can't decide which 3 to bench

        Agree

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

        So bennett will be dropped?

        1. Pep says

          Make what you want of the article, I'm just leaving it here for anyone interesting

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Think Nuno will start with the same time and may bring him on later.

    8. Big Col
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      As its possible that Mandy could play and if he does it’s a plum tie, bench on?

      A) Mandy
      B) Alonso
      C) Doherty
      D) Bellerin

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Can't see it but I've started him just in case.

      2. Gandolph
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Mendy in contention?

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Don’t think so. Given he failed to turn up to treatment, reprimanded by manager and hasn’t been training.

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Sorry, turned up late to treatment... he was at the AJ fight m

    9. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Particio, _____
      Alonso, _____ , ______ , _____ , WB
      Salah, Maddison, Richarlison, Fraser, Billing
      Kane, Aguero, Jiminez

      A) Hennessey; Trip, Yedlin, Doherty
      B) 4.0; Delph, Vertonghen, Diop

      I think I prefer B. Spurs defender is just a placeholder for Robertson. And Mendy will be back for delph or another when fit. Kane > Mitro with cash into midfield in a few weeks.

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        A but with Hart

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I don’t trust him to hold his place long term

    10. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who scores more?

      Salah vs che (Aguero (C)) / MCY (Salah (C))

      or

      Kane -4 vs hud (Aguero (C)) / CAR (Kane (C))

      I think it's Kane... which is why I'm considering this hit

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

        Me too...

    11. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      GTG? Good luck this week you all 😉

      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.

      Walcott > Richarlison -4?

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

        Nah

      2. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I did, may aswel wait now though, missed price rise

      3. Dosh
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not really

    15. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Captain:

      Aguero
      Sterling
      Richarlison
      Lacazette

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

        Ag

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

        Aguero

      3. Kizza_10
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I like the look of sterling

    16. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      People are deluded about Richarlison. Taking hits to get him in, taking out players like Mane, saying hes essential and even considering capping him when Aguero faces Brighton at home. Good luck, but its going to end in tears.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Richarlison is explosive, but volatile. Could haul or could blank.

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

        It's not just for this week. He has 3 good fixtures and he was in excellent form prior to his sending off. His underlying stats vs Arsenal are good too. See you on the bandwagon next week!

        Perhaps not worth taking a hit for him, but Mane > Richarlison is a perfectly logical move and I know quite a few Hall of Fame managers who've done that move exactly.

        Captaining is a different matter.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Ill never be on the Richarlison bandwagon (unless he plays up front).

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          When playing up front he could be an option. Ironic his best stats is when he blanked!

      3. MTPockets
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Decent pick, but still hasn't scored for 6 weeks and plays for everton.

          1. King Kun Ta
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Scored two for brasil during his debut...firing form!

          2. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            "Hasn't scored for 6 weeks" is a pretty weak argument against him. He hasn't scored for 130 mins in the Prem and scored 2 for Brazil during his ban.

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 6 months ago

                But in fpl terms it's true.

          Who to bench this week out of:

          1. D.Silva
          2. Mane
          3. Hazard
          4. Maddison

            Mane or Wilson?

        • ForEvra Young
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Rose more likely to play next 2 than Trips?

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Rose could possibly play the Barca game. It's too hard to call.

        • Dosh
          • 12 Years

          Who starts for City this weekend, Gundogan or David Silva?

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

            David

          2. Winning11
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I really want to say Silva, but i doubt it. He started the midweek match in the cup, and City has a must win match in 3 days in the Champions, then an away game vs liverpool. So its Gundogan for me.
            But hey, its Guardiola, and they might both start or be dropped 🙂
