      Arnie for AWB

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

        This

    2. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I’d play Arnie

    3. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years

      Thanks lads

    4. AndyCook
        7 years, 6 months ago

    6. swisstime
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nobady here speaks about son. I am sure the guy will be on fire

      1. Lukaku91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        def a good diff

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Getting him in, just can't decide on defender.

        • swisstime
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I bought him in yesterday, i might even put him captain in stead of aguero for a big diff

        • jtreble
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe, but he’s not in good form at the moment.

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

        Hennessey
        Alonso Robertson doherty
        Hazard rich(vc) mane fraser dsilva
        aguero(c) mitro
        (hamer, shaw, ings, wb)

        Gtg?

        1. Neves say Neves

          Yeah mate

        2. Cookie Kid
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Nice

        3. Lukaku91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          shaw and ings on bench could backfire..

          I would play shaw for robertson or doherty and probably ings for fraser

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

          Yes.

      4. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Start ?

        A TAA
        B Bennett (with Doherty)

        1. Cookie Kid
          • 9 Years

          A

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

          TAA for me.

      5. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        On WC, long term, to go with Rui Patricio:

        A) Fabianski
        B) Hart

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

          Fab

        2. Lukaku91

        3. KickIt
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Foster

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

          A for me.

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

        Im punting on Ramsey this week. Have high hopes

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          With the contract situation, I’d strongly advise against it.

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

            That usually works positively in FPL

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

          Has never ever did something for me FPL wise.. Big disappointment

          1. Lukaku91
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            same

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

          Playing too high up the pitch to be his most effective. Might pick up the odd assist. Concerns about his fitness and he’s a transfer out waiting to happen.

      7. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Anybody else think West Ham are going to beat Man Utd in the early KO?

        1. Lukaku91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          no

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

          Huddersfield to not lose against Spurs.

        3. JJO
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I do
          Im sure they will score 1 or 2,will it be enough to beat them?

      8. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Salah captainers?

      9. Pia06rc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Bottomed.
        How stupid a decision is it to captain Richarlison over Kun? Heard he may be starting up top and sick of Kun being rested/taken off.

        1. Clinton19
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I've done it considering the same thing

        2. Elite FPL
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Kun is by far a better pick. He can score 3 goals on 50 mins easy with city's class

        3. Lukaku91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          dangerous but could be genius.. i was tempted.. but will go with kun as I am lacking the necessary cohones to go with rich

        4. DGW Sane TC Fail....
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          i think it's a bad move. You don't know how Everton will turn up, could be another horror show like West Ham at home. Put it on Kun ..He might not get the minutes , but you know Man city are going to.

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

          Not for me.

      10. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Best option for a -4 please?

        A Luk & Mendy > Kane & Alex-Arn
        B Luk & Mendy > Kane & Vertong
        C Luk & Mane > Kane & Alli/Sane
        D Luk & Mane > Alli/Salah & Vardy

        If I do D I can do Alli > Salah in 2 weeks

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

          B for me.

      11. Tommo1888
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Pereria more points
        Chilwell better stats

        Who to go for .....

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

          Chilwell. More nailed.

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

        Last check... gtg?

        Schmeical
        Doherty Alonso TAA
        Fraser, Haz, Salah, Lucas
        Aguero, Jimenez, Zaha

        Speroni AWB Kabasele H-Odoi

        1)Start AWB or Shaw
        2)Hart or Ederson?

      15. Stokelona
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Lingard not spotted getting on the train by the MEN. Should I get rid for a hit if I have no bench?

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

        Used my free hit today given the number of opposing players I had. Sensible or not I'm pretty excited now. Wife is away so I can watch all of the games which might have had a bearing 🙂

        I went:

        Hennessey > Ederson
        Alonso > Vertonghen
        Robbo > Shaw
        Mane > Sterling
        Hazard > Richarlison
        Kante > Moura
        Wilson > Mitro

        1. Elite FPL
          • 7 Years

          Maverick. Let us know how it goes! Best of luck

        2. KickIt
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Clean your bench for value if on a FH.

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

      17. kirwy

      18. batmaniac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Is Mendy => trippier worth a hit?

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

          Probably unless you have cover from your subs

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

            Can start Bennett instead.

      19. CRO KLOPP

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

          Save BB for DGW

      21. meechamspowders
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I fancy doing Mané > Richarlison for a 4pt hit.

        Obvs could backfire but I want to try and Kane in at some point, or possibly salah in a couple of weeks. Am I totally insane or just a little bit?

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

          Not for me.

      22. AgentFern
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Start one - have Patricio already starting
        A Doherty
        B Shaw
        C AWB
        And
        Start either
        1 Fraser
        2 Wilson

        1. Lukaku91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          If your on wc how do you not have mitrovic, maddison?
          Jimenez, Fraser for them I say.. not that they're bad picks.. but mitro is a must and maddison looks great to own for the next 3 months basically

          1. Contegious
            • 9 Years
