  1. Man Chest Hair United

    Is swapping out Fraser for son on wildcard a dumb idea?

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

      It isn't the worst idea but it depends on where else you lose out by spending the extra cash.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You can’t compare players which are over 2nil difference. Thy 2mil where did it go before?

      1. Man Chest Hair United

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I hear what you say but if they were the same price, who would you prefer now?

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Son is way better in my opinion just worried about his minutes

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            But that is the point. Why would you compare? Because you have a doubt yes?

    2. Collie01

      1. James2201
        • 8 Years

        Do you think I need to make anymore changes? Am tempted to take Salah out then upgrade another midfielder and also my third striker

  4. Cookie Kid
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    For next 2 weeks:

    A) Son and Lacazette
    B) Kane and Fraser

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I like A

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

      Both looks tasty

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        So hard to choose! On WC, did have Laca and sold (lost 0.1) last night for Kane before hearing about Alli injury

        Kane tempting but Laca and Son is too

    Ladies,

    Which player finishes this GW with the highest score.

    Predictions please!

    I am going for Aguero 😉

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

      My gut says Richarlison but I don't know if I have the stones to (c) him.

    2. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salah is due ..........cat among the pidgeons ha ha

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero won't score more than a goal

    4. Penang Sandman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      PvA

    5. Marian Kuna Guero
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison/Mitrovic
      Expect high scoring game and they are focal points in their attack

    6. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Son or Sane

    7. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Richie Rich

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

      One of the Bournemouth attackers? Could be a nice Monday evening finalisation of gw7 🙂

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

    Play one:

    A) Ings
    B) Shaw
    C) AWB

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

      Shaw.

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

      B

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

    Captaining Kane because Brighton > Huddersfield and Kane is due a few at this point

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He isn't due anything

  9. Jeff Wilson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard -> Richarlison

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No chance

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So Pereyra is dead as an option then? BOU wol HUD are his next three and he loves home games.

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

      Good pick I reckon

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

      Not dead but Maddison Richarlison Fraser preferred by many

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

      Nope, he's on my radar to get in next week

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

      Hes in my team, biding his time

  11. bashtag
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lost on last page...
    A. Salah & B Silva
    B. Mane & Hazard

    Not having salah scares me

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

      B

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That’s so hard find a way to have haz and salah

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

        Money wont quite allow unless i bin off kun

    3. Elite FPL
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      Same, I think Mane is more of a rotation risk but that's entirely based on last season and probably wrong

    5. Marian Kuna Guero
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B because of Hazard

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

    Help! I'm on wildcard and can't make my mind up, would you go Moutinho and Zaha (I already have Jimenez) or Maddison and Perez (thinking of the fixture swing in a couple of weeks). Mainly worried about losing the potential Zaha points coming up

    1. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Need to see your full team, wouldn’t want moutinho or Perez, if 3rd sub is hustvget cheap 4.4 fodder instead

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

        Hart - Fab
        Alonso - TAA- Doherty - WB - Holebas
        Richalison - Hazard - Salah - Fraser
        Jimenez - Aguero

  13. diesel001

    US can't hit a fairway - they aren't winning this Ryder Cup if it keeps going like this.

  14. Bonus magnet

    G2g?
    Hart
    Alonso Trippier Laporte

    1. Buck The Trent

      Doherty ahead of Gundo

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It’s funny I changed exactly that

  15. Salahlulijah

    Aguero minutes prediction today?

    1. Elite FPL
      • 7 Years

      55

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

        Ok...

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      73

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

      Depends on how quick they are in a solid lead... my guess 65

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

      60

    5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      70

  16. Elite FPL
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Dilva > Son
    Dilva > Richarlison
    Dilva > up to 9.7m replacent.

    All would mean a -4pt hit

    Suggestions?

    1. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Save

    2. farmerfat

      I'm way too afraid to take Dsilva out this week.

    Salah-Hazard-Maddison-Fraser

    Kun-Mitrovic-Wilson

    Hamer-Bennett-TAA-Kante

    Anyone think

    Salah to Richarlison &
    Wilson to Kane is a good idea for -4

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

      Yes, both look really good for this week. After City next week Liverpool have some really good fixtures so maybe look at bringing in some Liverpool players then. Maybe play Bennett over WB he will struggle to not concede at Bournemouth

      1. AVFCChris1984
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Happy with the swap but wish I'd seen your reply sooner and put Bennett in instead of WB

    Is going TAA over Robo a bad idea? In B, TAA would be on bench for next two games.

    A) Patricio/Hamer/Bennet/Robertson

    B)
