    Pereyra Mane Kamara Firmino OUT

    Masuaku Lamela Vary Lacazette IN

    -12.....

    GO FOR IT?

    1. Wally banter
      • 13 Years

      When you are making such irrelevant moves, dont ask community... Go with your guts...

    2. 9I6
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You really shouldn't

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

      go for Knockaert over Lamela and keep Pereyra and save 4pts

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks a bit rash to me..

    5. Gandalf

      Never in a million years for me!

    6. The Legend Squad

      I like it tbh, controversial I know

    7. Mumm-Ra
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not for that amount of a points loss i'd think. You'd also kick yourself if 'hopefully' we give Chelsea some payback today and they both get on the scoresheet

      1. woody3260
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        JUST Just feel that laca , vardy, kane are must haves. Their owenership will reach 20% after this weekend

      Only gone and done it. #poormoves

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

    Anyone have link to clean sheet odds?

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

        Ty

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

      Arsenal on the bottom, don't know the rest.

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

    For the next 3 games:

    A) Kane & Fraser
    B) Lacazette & Son

    1. Wally banter
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. fusen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Like many, I've got Alonso and Robbo and faced the dilemma of who to bench.

    Considering both teams are good at getting cleansheets but both can score for fun, there isn't much point hoping for cleansheets points

    So the real question is who is more likely to get attacking returns.

    It's quite clearly Alonso, as he is the most attacking defender in FPL

    So ignoring gut feeling, bench Robbo and play Alonso

    That is the rational thing to do **

    **(but may turn out wrong as FPL is hugely luck based)

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

      Im playing both

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

        That just suggests you don't have good defenders to fall back on

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

          I have Bissaka and Pereira so I guess you're right
          Could have got Doherty but then I would be forced to bench Robbo and he could get returns in any game.. decided to bank the transfer

    2. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Play both, hope for assists? That’s what the premium is there for anyway... if you were just after clean sheets you would have TAA

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

        Or have better options in other defenders?

        You don't always have to play a high priced player if they don't have a good fixture

    3. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      could end 0-0

  5. Mumm-Ra
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Gilfi or Rich?

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

    Start Madisson or Ings?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Madisson

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  8. Garlana

      YES

  9. The Mighty Hippo

    Peltier Hudson Odoi WanB

    Should I use my ft to take out one of the 2 non playing to someone who plays?
