    Seen around Twitter some doubts about Mane playing this evening. I haven’t seen anything to suggest he won’t start so what’s that all about? Is he a doubt?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Happen’s every week about every player these days. Sad.

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

        This

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

      link??

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

        No link, I was asking for info

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Can you not post one of these Twitter links mate

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

      I think it was because he wasn’t at training yesterday or something and played in the Carabao cup

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

      I think the only substance behind that would be that he played 71 mins midweek. Personally, don’t think klopp will rest Mane in such a big game, especially if Liverpool want to tighten their grip on the first place spot

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

        Cheers, that’s my conclusion too

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wasnt spotted in training yesterday.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yesterday or the day before ? I know he missed the one before

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

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

      Laca

    2. Jules Rimet

      Vardy

  5. Mesh
    • 12 Years

      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Of course

  6. Gordon Cole
    • 8 Years

  8. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How come Mendy is still at -79% on FPL stats? Been stuck there for a while.

  9. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Andy did it!

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Did what

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Salah out for -4 and Kane in

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

          What a maverick

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            we will see...

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

    I read some rumors that lingard did not travel are these true? I know nobody has him but some of us unfortunately do

    1. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It's true, but you can't know for sure if they've travelled down after the rest of the squad.

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

      Who's they? Others were missing?

      1. Ramboros
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Valencia and a few more.

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Watford 4th in PL and now great run of fixtures 😮

    Kiko time?

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

      It's always Kiko time in my house.

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

      Kiko want play. Hes a backup winger.

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

  12. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years

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

      Similar dilemma as below. Leaning towards Pereira.

      1. So Troublesome
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Same here.

  13. AppleDunk

    1. twoplustwo

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

    Hi guys

    Quite happy with my team but have one concern: no Spurs players. Would you either:

    A) Keep the FT
    B) D Silva to Ali

    Ederson (Hamer)
    TAA / Alonso / Bennett (Chilwell / Wan-Bis)
    Hazard / Mane / D Silva

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

      Alli is out?

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

      Posted a little early!

      Richarlison (Hojbjerg)
      Aguero / Zaha / Mitro is the rest of the team!

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

      Alli is out, son if you want spurs imo.

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Alli is out for a month..

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

        Thank you all, not sure how I missed that!

  19. No Professionals
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Patricio
    Bennett Robertson Alonso
    Salah hazard maddison Lucas Aguero mitrovic Wilson

    Hennesey awb ward holebas

    Salah and Wilson to kane and richarlison for a hit?

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

      Not for a hit

      1. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Moura to richarlison for no hit?

  20. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Dilva never played last week and came off on 60 mins midweek. Why wouldn't he play today?

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

      Something to do with a fox, bag of ice and a spanner. Not confirmed yet though

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

      UCL midweek and Liverpool next week.

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

      Because people dont own him.

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

      Just so many options, and the one least in form

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

      Not saying he won’t.
      But he played in Carabao and they will probably want him for CL.
      Pep said he couldn’t play 3 times in 1 week at some point

  21. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bench 1: alonso robertson shaw?

    1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly Robertson.

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

    Any news about VVD? Still all we know is "50/50"?

  23. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play Chilwell or Ghezzal?! Thanks.

  24. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    This Gtg? Have a FT left.

    Henn
    Alonso / Robertson / Tarkowski
    Salah / Hazard / Richarlison / Maddison
    Aguero / Joselu / Wilson

    Foster / AWB / Billing / Bennett

    (Bennett from Cardiff, not Wolves)

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

      Looks good to me. The Joselu pick is maverick but I love it

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

      Love the Joselu pick

    3. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wasn't expecting the Joselu love. Thanks to both of you.

    G2G? 1FT 0.4ITB
    Patricio

  26. WVA

    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Ramsey will still play despite his contract issues?

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, of course.

  27. Mesh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Who to play?

    A. AWB (I'm playing Fraser)
    B. Ings

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

      Ings. Rested, good form. BOU dangerous - will probably score.

  28. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone captained Haz with VVD out news?

  29. grumpyman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Went out to a gig last night and got a little over exited. Found myself watching the new Nicholas Cage film (it's incredible) at 2am and realised after being patient with my transfers all week I'd missed the price rises. Can no longer afford Doherty, so now I'm a Jonny owner. True story.

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

      So instead of buying a player you went to the chemists?

      😉 😀

  30. Hillbilly
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play Maddison or Wilson?

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

      Maddison

    2. WijnaldumLeviosa
      • 7 Years

      Maddison

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

      The both end with Son... Choose Son

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Tough but probably Maddi.

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

      I would play willson as NEW plays deffensive.

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

      Cheers boys...will go with Maddison. I have Fraser too, so probably spreads the cover.
