  1. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    1 FT and 0.4m ITB. Should I save the FT?

    Foster
    Shaw / Wan-B / Robbo
    Salah / Hazard / Bilva / Neves
    Aguero (c) / King / Zaha

    Subs: Ryan / Luiz / Stephens / Peltier

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

      I would save... Neves might be worth considering long term though

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

      Good team, seems balanced! Save it

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

      yes

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks guys

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

    Does rich really have that great underlying stats? Seems like a lot of ppl here rushing to get him in. Would you take a hit for him with this team?

    De Gea
    Doherty, Robertson, Alonso, Bennett
    Salah, Mané, Bernardo Silva, Fraser
    Mitrovic, Agüero

    Hamer, Wan-Bissaka, Stephens, Kamara

    I´ve got 3.2 itb but no FT, so stephens-rich possible

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Leave it.

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

      that team aint worth a hit imo

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

      Thanks, both!

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

      For a hit? Not for me.

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

    Any decent defenders up to 4.3 (not including AWB)?

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

      Bennett?

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

        Nailed, at least for now?

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

      Bennett

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

      Bennett

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Some dude at Wolves.

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

      Kiko, Bennett

    6. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      @ that price gotta be Bennett (wolves)

    7. Axle11
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bennett (WOL, 4.1)
      Diop (WHU, 4.3) - long term and first choice, you could also monitor West Ham defence solidity for now until their great sequence of fixtures.

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

      Thanks all, went Bennett.

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

    On WC, GTG?

    Patricio, (4.0)
    Robbo, Alonso, Tripp (Bennet, AWB)
    Hazard, Rich, Moura, Fraser (4.5)
    Mitro, Aguero, Laca

    2.2 ITB to do Aguero -> Kane next week if he looks good against Hud.

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

      Great team. I need to find .2 myself. Is Bennet nailed?

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

      Get Kane in now, join the club 😀
      I'm on a WC and have a similar team. I'd recommend getting Robbo Moura > TAA Son, and start Bennet instead of Robbo 🙂

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

        Yeah true, might as well get him now 🙂
        Why Son?
        Robbo and Alonso are season keepers for me. Also, was thinking Trip --> TAA after international break and double up on pool def for their good run.

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

      You really wanna play patricio every single week?

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

        Why not? Wolves seem to be doing great defensively and he's cheap.

  5. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    G2G?

    Patricio
    Mendy* Robertson Alonso
    Fraser Mane Hazard Richarlison
    Zaha Aguero Mitrovic

    Subs: Robertson, Wan-Bis stephens*

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

      Two Robbos would be nice

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

      yep, who's the 2nd Robertson meant to be tho?

      1. manu4life99
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        *Alonso

  6. Groß Point Blank
    • 8 Years

    Robbo, Fraser, Walcott, AWB.
    Thanks.

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

    Shipped Aguero for Kane on WC. Tripled up on Spurs, and captaining Richarlison. What could go wrong? 😎

    Glad to see there's a few of us looking away from Kun this GW. We'll either throw a party or join group therapy together. 😆

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

      Wut? 😀

      Richarlison best is the best!

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

        Do me proud Richy

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ah, the WC optimism - that was me recently.

      Now dropped from 200k to 600k cos of it 🙂

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

        In about 6hrs I'll be in touch for a therapist's number.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wow.
      Were you having a good season?

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

        89k overall, so pretty decent 😀

    4. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I shipped Aguero on WC but he is now in my team after having to pay an extra 0.2 for him. Also let Salah drop 0.1 before dropping for the next 2 games. That is what you call WC management.

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

        he has three tough games in next 6 and two quality buses as well.

    5. Salahlulijah
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Decisions like that is why you finish around the 100k mark

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

        Yeah, but at least it's fun. 😀
        And it's bound to pay off one season I think

    6. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not going all out then, and captaining Kane too? 😉

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

        Kane is there for Cardiff
        This week it'll be more about Son and Trippier 🙂

    7. BooYaKasha
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ballsy

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        I try

  8. GianniBanani
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Gtg or Bennett > Robertson?

    Ederson
    Alonso/Trippier/Bennett
    Mane/Hazard/Richarlison(vc)/Fraser
    Aguero(c)/Mitrovic/Wilson

    Hamer - Robertson,AWB,Kante

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

      Swap the VC and C 😀

      You're G2G

    2. Lukaku91

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    B) S.Cook
    ….which to bench?

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

      Bench Cook I reckon, I had the same choice to consider

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

      I am benching Cook, Because if Crystal Palace gets a clean sheet AWB will get bonus. Awb more attacking also

    3. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I am.benching awb

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Interesting day of football ahead.

    City could go top before Chelsea and Liverpool kick a ball.

    Tottenham and Arsenal could both be one and three points behind Chelsea and Liverpool.

    A day of psychological pressure for top boys.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Planning on watching the Chelsea game in the nude?

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

        I watch them all in the nip.

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

      I fancy City will try to score as many as they can to add the pressure

  12. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What's the best GK combo of 4.5s?

    1. rhysmd
      • 11 Years

  16. Liber
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    David Silva is bothering me. I'm tempted to just transfer him for Richarlison.

    But City is much more attacking than Everton. However Rich is well rested 😀

    Rich or D Silva?

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

      Rich. I'd do it if it's for free this week.

    2. Kyle Norman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      D silva might not play. Go for rich.

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

      Thanx. I went for it.

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

  18. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Tomkins >> Doherty worth a hit bearing in mind today’s fixtures and upcoming??

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

      not a hit, next week tho maybe

    2. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

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

    If only there were a 3.9 keeper so I could afford this...

    Patricio
    Walker, Trippier, Robbo
    Salah, Haz, Richarlison, Maddison
    Aguero, Mitro, Jiminez

    Keeper; WB, Billing, Ward

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

      Get Masuaku over Ward for 0.1m.

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

      Shave off 0.1m from midfield? So billing or ward to a 4.4m

  24. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one:

    A: Trent (che)
    B: AWB (bou)

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

      Focus yon the golf instead!

  26. sthelenslad92
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Start 2 of: Alonso, Robertson, Doherty

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

      I would go alonso and Robertson

      2-2 draw and they could each get an assist/goal

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

      Who's your third defender? Trip? Would be very tempted to do something bold like bench Alonso.

  27. UnitednationsXI

    1ft and 0m itb
