    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on benching one of Robbo or Alonso? Both always have potenrial of attacking returns even if clean sheet inlikely.

    My other option is Bennett but that would mean Wolves double up in defence.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool will escape with a clean sheet today

  2. Son is Rising

    For those considering AWB vs a Wolves defender...

    1. Peter Ouch

      Look further, palace has no chance for a clean sheet after gw10

      1. Annie

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Irrelevant

        1. Peter Ouch
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sorry, just woke up

  3. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    All week was set on (C) Aguero, why I am all of the sudden thinking about Salah, worried that Kun's game time might be managed ?
    Is this place ? Isnt it ?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kun will play 65 mins scoring 2 goals and 1 assist

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

        ohhh...

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

      salah will have his opportunities to score but aguero more likely to haul

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      More likely to be a haul from aguero than Salah surely. You don't to be missing out on that if it happens

  4. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Patricio
    Alonso- Tripper - Robbo
    Haz- Mane- Fraser- Richarlison
    Augero-Mitrovic-Ings
    (Foster- Maddison- AWB- Bednarek)

    GTG? Correct bench order?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Madisson on bench?
      That's awful.
      I would switch mad to ings

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

    Play TAA or Doherty ?
    Captain Kane or aguero ?

    On Kane and Doherty atm

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Play Doherty, C Kun

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

        do you have Kane ?

        1. Peter Ouch
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, I will c Kane next week

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

            me too, huddersfield are shipping goals though so will go for Kane this week also I think

            1. Peter Ouch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Risky, I am not brave enough, good luck mate!

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

                imagine someone telling you that captain Kane against huddersfield was risky at the start of the season lol, thanks and you too

                1. Peter Ouch
                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 6 months ago

                  Well, it's result cause you have the option of kun at home with the leaky Brighton, other than that isn't that Risky!

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

    Hi all, what are your thoughts on Chilwell as an option to replace mendy? Haven’t watched many Leicester games however, only 1 clean sheet in 6 gw’s is a little concerning, so for those who follow Leicester, what are your thoughts? Their great run of fixtures are hard to ignore especially when AWB’s and Bennett’s games get tougher

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't go for Leicester.
      Prefer Newcastle after those 2 gw

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

        Yeah, Yedlin was originally my preferred choice but it looks like there are a lot of defenders injured in their camp, might affect their cs’s

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

      Holebas makes more sense if you haven't got him.

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

    Who to bench?
    A: Maddison
    B: Zaha
    C: Fraser
    D: Mitro

    Thanks

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

    3. drughi

      7 years, 6 months ago

      C

    4. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fraser

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

      Maddison is my first sub at the moment as I think newcastle will win this game.

  8. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mendy to Walker

    Yay or nay?

    Pat
    Robbo Shaw AWB
    Hazard Mane Moura Fraser
    Aguero Auba Wilson

    Hamer Mendy* Stephens* Peltier*

  9. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Trippier or Laporte?

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

      Laporte for me

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

      both but trapper if you have too

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

      I just did mends to laporte

  10. FC Barkerlona
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one to bench? Will be 1st sub:

    Fraser / Pogba / Maddison / Gündogan / Wilson

    Currently on Gundo but torn between thinking he'll come on for a 1 pointer or grab a haul.

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

      Has to be Gundo.

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Gundo

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

    How's the WC Looking?

    Patricio (Fab) Laporte Shaw AWB (TAA, Bennett)
    Hazard Mane Rich Madd (Hoj) Jiminez Kane Aguero (c)

    Thanks. 0.2m in bank. 

    Where can I find 0.1m to upgrade Bennett to Castro??

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

      Not sure about Shaw

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why shaw

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

    Repost. Which one ?

    A
    TAA Doherty Duffy* AWB Bennett
    Hazard* Salah Fraser Richy

    B
    Trippier* TAA Doherty AWB Bennett
    Son* Salah Fraser Ritchy

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

  13. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Saw a rumour on twitter yesterday showing a Leicester teamsheet with Periera starting as a winger.
    Tempted to start him ahead of TAA. Worth the risk?

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

      yes

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

      I’d say so given Newcastle’s injuries at the back.

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes...starting him over TAA atm

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

  14. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah + king to Kane + Richa (-4) worth it?

    Will captain Kane gw8 , will WC gw9 to get Salah in

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

      If wildcarding then its an option for sure. I did it with Ings - but King has better games.

  15. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mendy and Mané to Haz and Doherty for a free a solid move? Feels a bit boring and fancy Rich or potentially Sterling, but don’t like not having Haz and think his price will keep rising if you don’t get him now

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

      Yeah

  16. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah to Sterling would give me a triple ManC attack of him, Sane and Aguero, midfielders ownership 3.7% and 4.7%. Worth a punt?

    A) Salah to Sterling
    B) Firmino to Lacazette
    C) Save

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      C

  17. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Stick with Pedro or get Richarlison?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison if for free

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It's for free and got up to 8m to spend. Any better candidates other than Richa?

        1. Pukki Party
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No i'd go for him.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Rich if free

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      rotation risk with poor fixture vs striaght up nailed on stud with good fixture. Easy choice imo

  18. Mini Mane Mo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Choose three to play please. TIA!

    1. Alonso
    2. Robbo

      1. Jafooli

        Well this is also true 😀

  20. Hawk Eye

    • 14 Years

    Firmino & Moura > Hazard & Murry for a hit?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

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

      no

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

      No chance

  21. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1ft and 0m itb. Current move depends on what i want to do next gw

    Patricio — foster
    Alonso shaw mendy — robbo awb
    Salah Dilva Maddison Richarlison — Stephens
    Kun king zaha

    A: mendy >> Doherty and leave funds to potentially do kun > Kane next gw
    B: mendy >> Trippier and take a hit next week if I want to get Kane for gw8
    C: roll over the FT as I have robbo/awb coming on for mendy.

    Some of the options for next gw include:
    - Dilva >> Son (c)
    - Salah >> Haz (c)
    - Mendy/Salah/King >> Holebas/Son/Kane

  22. pedro1979
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    One last decision... stick with shaw or replace for someone else up to 5.4? Maybe TAA?

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

      prefer TAA over shaw

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

      Shaw's next 2 fixtures much better than TAA's

    Patricio
    Alonso Robbo Shaw

    seeing a bit of tipping for femenia to take janmaat's vacated spot. femenia under gracia is a sub winger, he seemingly doesn't view him as a defender let alone rate him as one. surely would have played right back in midweek if he was going to be the one to cover for this janmaat injury. is between mariappa and navarro imo

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ok cheers. Another off the list then.

      • Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I agree, Femenia has played 0 minutes as a RB after departure of Silva.

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

      AWB or PVA??

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

        PVA

      2. money face bandwagon

        Pva surely

    3. danishdynamite

      Trip(pier) for a hit ........ or just play Wan the Man ?????

    4. gunner1994
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is this right team and subs to play?

      Hart
      Laporte Alonso Bennett
      Hazard Maddison Richarlison Fraser
      Aguero Mitrovic Jimenez

      Etheridge Mane AWB Robertson

      1. drughi

      Captain aguero EVERYONE !?

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

      Captaincy is pretty simple this week. If you want to use your captain as a shield against OR drops then it is Aguero(c). If you want to use your captain as a sword to gain OR then captain someone other than Aguero.
