    Dilva to Son for a hit?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Terrible top of the page post

    2. Rt505
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth a hit imo

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

      Not for a hit

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

      I am starting DSilva. The 60 minutes cameo on Carabao, make me wonder if Pep might play him and rest in form BSilva for champions league.

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

      No

  2. Rt505
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Alonso/Ings out for Duffy/Firmino in GW9? Plan to roll a transfer so no hit

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Never sell Alonso unless it's a long term injury

    2. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think I'd be getting rid of Alonso, no.

  3. HanS14
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one goalkeeper and one defender?

    A.Robbo
    B.Alonso
    C.Chilwell
    D.AWB
    E.Boly
    Kepa or patricio

    1. Rt505
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kepa and AWB

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bench Chilwell and Kepa

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

      Boly and Kepka

    4. barcaa7
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kepa and D

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

    Play Robbo or Alonso?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why not both?

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

      Both? Who are your other defenders?

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

        Shaw and Trippier

        1. Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That's an expensive defense.

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

          Would be tempted to start all four of those!

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

      Alonso for sure

    4. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      time for an Alonso freekick

  5. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison or Maddison?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Both are equally good

      Coin toss?

      1. Sponge-worthy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe so

    2. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Rich.

      Working on getting both though.

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

      Rich fo sho

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

      A Lei mate of mine who goes a lot says everything good involves Maddison

      But Rich looked good last week

      Coin toss!

      Use this week to sort out H-odoi

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

        To who? Never really use him?

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

          With the money in the bank u could get Richarlson

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

            And have a massive headache for bench? Probs just go Lucas to Rich next week :). If you bring in Rich then who do you drop?

      Gundogan Fernandinho Bilva

      Sterling Kun Sane

    2. All about the Mané
      • 7 Years

      Aguero on the bench

    3. My Name Is Pepu

      BILVA DILVA
      STERLING SANE
      KUN

      Keep in mind I am just an optimistic DSilva owner.
      No one really knows XD

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

        As a D Silva owner I am very worried

        Gund was sensational last week

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

          I have him and starting with Fraser 1st on bench. But he is on my out list. Cant deal with Pep Roulette anymore.

        2. 11SPECIALONE11
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I am stuck between benching Gundogan or Callum Wilson for today. What you reckon?

    6. MPC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I genuinely think he’ll bench Bilva.

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

        (Bilva owner)

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Can You RATE My Team plz
    Patricio
    Alonso - Tripper - Robbo
    Hazard - Mané - Moura - Madison
    Kun C - Mitrovic - King

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Very close to mine so obviously like it. What's your thoughts on the Chelski/pool match up?

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

        I think gonna a big score match 2-2 or 3-2

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

    GTG?

    Fabs (Foster)
    Doherty Alonso Robbo (WanB, Tomkins)
    Salah Mane Wally Rich (Stephens)
    Kun Mitro Ings

    Not sure whether to play one of WanB or Tomkins over Ings.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      GTG in my opinion. If looking to play WanB it would potentially be for Alonso.

  10. WrightnBright
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Last minute Kane in panic -please try and talk me out of this move! Or should I go from r it?

    Mane,Zaha > 4.3 fodder, Kane -4

    I already have Salah who I'm keeping.

    Essentially, will Kane (along with AWB/Bennett) get more points than Mane & Zaha over next couple of gwks?

  11. johnnymorrocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which 2 to play this wk? Shaw/Bennett/Robbo/AWB

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

      In the same position.

      I'm going Shaw and Robbo but that may be stupid

      1. johnnymorrocco
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

    If I use free hit will the transfers I’ve made this week be cancelled?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

        Right, considering it!

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Why?

    2. Dannyb

      Yes

    3. kennethrhcp

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

      the transfers will be lost and you will get minus for htis taken?

  14. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Deadline in 1 hour?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years

      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ing and Wilson for me

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

      Im benching Fraser and plaing Ings. On pens and higher ceiling.

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

      And I’m benching Bennet either. Trippier Alonso Robbo.

  16. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How do you guys feel about gazzaniga as a cheap way into the spurs defense for the next few weeks?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 6 months ago

        3rd choice keeper, so no.

    2. Emm7980
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salah >hazard for free? Would b WC him back in 2-3 weeks,

    3. Wayne8
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who scores more points this week?

      A. Kane and Richarlison

      Patricio
      Robbo-marcos-pereira
      Mane-haz-maddison-neves
      Aguero-lulaku-mitrovix

      I really considering -4 to get laca and richa in for lukaku and neves. Would anyone recommend? Thanks!

    5. The Yorkshire Pirlo

      7 years, 6 months ago

    7. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Bottomed

      Play TAA or AWB?

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

      Use a hit to get someone to play instead of PVA, Mane or King? Could do Peltier to Trippier, Mane to Hazard or King to Mitro, or something else (not sure if anything worth it) ?

      Current team, no FT, 2.3ITB:
      Fabianski
      Doherty, Alonso, PVA
      Salah, Mane, Fraser, Rich
      King, Zaha, Aguero
      (Begovic, WB, Wilshere, Peltier)

      Thanks!

        • 11 Years

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

      What are Mendy owners doing? No real news. I was holding but now considering Mendy > Walker/Tripps

      1. Emm7980
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Going tripp

      2. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Same. If I had cash to I would do Walker. Thinking trip for fixtures, see below

      3. Emm7980
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Was on walker during week, but have no spurs cover.

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

        downgraded to Doherty & will use cash further up the pitch

    10. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy to

      A. Trippier
      B. Doherty and save cash
      C. Save
      D. Other

      1. Rupert The Horse

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

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

      Anything worth a hit? 0.5m ITB. Thoughts appreciated!

      De Gea
      Alonso, Doherty, Robbo
      Salah, Mane, Bilva, Richa, Fraser
      Aguero, Zaha

      Hamer- AWB - Kamara - Peltier

      1. Emm7980
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No need imo

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

      Have 2.4 itb,

      H-Odoi on the 3rd bench spot since start? Is there any point replacing him or just save to allow funds elsewhere

    14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Glenner & Knockaert looking like good picks from next week onwards. Wilson/Fraser bad showings today could signal the right time to switch.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, on paper. But Andone is back in the squad and we don’t know much about him vs Murray yet. Monitor. Also monitor Knockaert as Izqueirdo & Groß (takes back set pieces) are back soon.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Also jaganzibash

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Crazy numbers from last season, this Jahanbaksch:
            Remember looking at him in the beginning, but the fixtures turned me off. Also a bit expensive for a Bri player

          2. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Him too. Great fixtures but I would want a little more information before I pick who to get.

    15. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Alright. I'm gonna do it. Rich (c) Gl all.
