    Fraser, or Maddison out for a hit ? Really wants Richarlison

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

      None, chill

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

      If you really want it then Maddison

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

      Fraser due to fixtures

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

      fraser out.. maddison and rich should be in every team

    5. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Either would be a very silly move.

    6. AndyCook
        7 years, 6 months ago

        For one week in the Draft game - Lamela or Fraser?

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

          Lamela

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

        Bench one of ? Maddi, Fraser, Dilva, Haz, Richi.

        Front three, Kun, Mitro, Laca. Surely these three have to play?

        1. AndyCook
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Maddison

          • cheeky moses

              7 years, 6 months ago

              A. Bennett
              B. Robertson
              C. WanB

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Bennet, wolves tough at home

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

                  Btw I'm saying Robertson cause I'm already playing another wolves player

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

              Play:
              a) Maddison; or
              b) Jimenez.

              1. Lukaku91

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 6 months ago

                    Final WC decision!

                    Should I do Hojbjerg > Ward and start him instead of Maddison?
                    Ward could score I guess? Should still be playing as Cardiff's CF?

                    1. LosBlancos

                      • 8 Years

                      fancy Newcastle to keep it tight

                    2. AndyCook
                        7 years, 6 months ago

                        I’d play Maddison still

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

                          agreed. vardy goal maddison assist. 1-0 lei

                          1. LosBlancos
                            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                            7 years, 6 months ago

                            Yeah, you are right. Even in 1-0 they could do very well. Gonna keep and play

                      • cheeky moses
                        • 10 Years
                        7 years, 6 months ago

                        I wouldn't. If you have Maddison, play him.

                    3. Champions united
                      • 9 Years
                      7 years, 6 months ago

                      Taa or awb?
                      Who will get more points
                      Awb cs is straight 6 points
                      Taa 1 assist will only give 5 points

                      1. AndyCook
                          7 years, 6 months ago

                          They are both poor options this week. Don’t think either will keep a clean sheet so probably TAA

                      2. Dr Funk
                        • 13 Years
                        7 years, 6 months ago

                        This place will go into meltdown if Mendy starts.

                        1. Champions united

                          7 years, 6 months ago

                          Safe is to play mendy
                          Is he doesnot its not a shocker
                          If he plays Win win situation

                          hes definitely not playing..

                            99% not..... that 1% keeps him in my team - TAA comes on otherwise.

                        Having my best ever start at 6k or atm. I feel I can take the chance of Kane and Rich for Salah and Arnie over the next two (currently on wc).

                        No Salah in any of my main ml rival teams so now is the time to do it I feel.

                        In other words, congrats on the Salah haul to owners over the next two πŸ™‚ πŸ˜‰

                          I'm top 5.7k with no chips and done the same transfers, hopefully our good starts can continue!

                        a) Salah -> Haz
                        b) Pedro -> Richarlison

                            Worth -4 for both?

                        Given Spurs fixtures are:
                        hud (today)
                        Barcelona (weds)
                        CAR (sat)

                        Would you get Vert or Trippier? Worried about rotation

                        1. Lukaku91

                          If Aurier plays vs barcelona all is well. otherwise I can even see trippier playing all three

                          1. Bouncebackability

                            7 years, 6 months ago

                            I'd be shocked if trippier didn't play both Barca games.

                            Aurier seems injured but more worried about Walker-Peters for Cardiff game.
