    G2G and bench order right?

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

      yes gtg

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

      I’d play Murray over TAA

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

        +1

  2. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bench Alonso or Robertson?

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

      Neither

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

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

      had the same dilemma,
      decided to go alonso over robbo.

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

    Which two 4.5GKs?

    As will have Doherty, I'd rather no double with Patricio. Thinking about Hart/Ryan? Just Ryan is about dropping...

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

      I am thinking of having two Wolves def for now.

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

      I will go with Ryan as soon as he’s price has dropped to 4,4

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

      I have always been bemused about "doubling up"
      It has zero impact on considered projections.

    Bottomed.
    Kanté to Mad or Rich?

      50/50

      1. Atimis

        But rather Rich

      Rich

      • 14 Years

      Rich it is.
      Thanks

  5. drughi
    • 16 Years

    we all gonna captain aguero aren't we lol

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

      I probably will. However I feel that captaining Richarlison may be very rewarding this GW

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

      together we will enjoy his 1 pointer... 😎

  6. j1ves
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Big question....

    DLuiz or Robertson?

    Who would you go with?

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

      Robertson

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

      Robbo

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

      Robertson. Better attacking and this game is likely to have goals so just pick the most offensive players.

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

      Robo ofc

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

    Having second thoughts about Shaw in my WC, got Patricio in goal,
    which is best?
    a) Shaw Bennett
    b) Holebas Doherty
    c) Yedlin? Duffy? Diop? Another pair for 9.4m?

    Thanks

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Holebas on 4 yellows, so maybe doherty and someone who rotates.

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

        Shaw for me

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

      Anyone else feel like this will be a pretty boring gameweek? Not many decisions to be made regarding captaincy, benching etc.

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

        Absolutely not. This is the most difficult week for most in terms of bench decisions.

        And captaincy looks super straight forward but it's really tempting this week somehow to switch.

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

        No. Because when the masses expect something, it does not always happen.

        One of Utd, City, Spurs and Arsenal will not win today IMO.

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

        I've got to bench one of Fraser, Jiminez or Maddison, I'm bound to get it wrong

    3. jackhammer1
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson to Mitro for -4??

      Worth it long term? I can see potential for Wilson being rotated/dropped in coming weeks. On the other hand Mitro is the main man.

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I did it, no guarantee it works out, but mitro seems to be in great form

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

        Mitro must score 2 and Wilson 0 - I wouldn’t do it

        1. Jayv807
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          What? 1 goal breaks even

    4. Bilbao Baggins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I was warming to Andy's idea of Salah and Wilson to Kane and Fraser for the next two as I had considered it myself.. I watched MOTD the Liverpool game and Tottenham game again to get some answers.

      Kane looked average. Some of his shots were when Brighton literally had 4 players on the half way line trying to counter. Salah looked full of energy and should have had a few.

      So it's the dullard Mendy to Tripper this morning and save second FT for me. Fair play if you had the guts to bring Kane in.!

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

        I’m tempted by Salah ——> Son for the next 2 weeks

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

          Considered him. I worry with Sons minutes though as they have so many options now . Lamela replaced Son and scored immediately and I don't see Moura losing his place that easily. Could be a job share. Deli back too.

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

            I think Alli and Eriksen both out for this week

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

        IMO Kane isn’t an option yet

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

        Yeah, it's definitely a risk. I know in two weeks I'll probably regret it, but here's to hoping Kane can do the business against the two worst teams.

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

      Feedback pls?

      Patricio
      Alonso, Robertson, Trippier
      Mane, Hazard, Moura, Maddison, Rich
      Kun, Wilson

      Hamer, Bissaka, Holebas, Kamara

      Cheers all’

    6. Matakuko
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I’m in pickle!

      Hennessy (Lössl)
      Alonso, Mendy, Van Dijk (AWB, Daniels)
      Mané, Haz, DSilva, Pedro (Stephens)
      Aguero, Wilson, Deeney

      Mendy Stephens - definitely out
      Van Dijk, Daniels - at risk.

      Am I mad to be holding Mendy and Stephens and dropping van dijk and Daniels

      I’m thinking Trippier and Richarlison in

      Thoughts?

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

        2 frees?

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

          Only one free

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

        Honestly, I'd probably have used the wildcard. But if you're holding then make sure you get 11 out. Maybe Trippier for Mendy. And if you are worried about Pedro playing then bring in some one perhaps.

    7. paza12
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      On Wildcard - Laporte and Mane or Bennett and Sterling? Cheers!

    8. The Curse of Falcao
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      G2G or play Ings and/or Hennessy?

      Patricio
      Alonso Robertson Trippier Doherty
      Salah Hazard Fraser Richarlison
      Mitrovic Aguero(c)

      Hennessy | Ings | AWB |Billing

    9. Boholad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      My current team is as follows:

      Fabianski, Foster
      Peltier, Mendy, Alonso, Robertson, AWB,
      Hazard, Neves, Richarlison, Fraser, Salah,
      Ings, Mitrovic, Aguero.

      I have 2 free transfers with 0.7m ITB, what should I do?
      A). Salah & Ings to Maddison & Kane
      B). Mendy to Trippier (roll a transfer)

      Thanks

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

      What do you think?

      Hart
      Alonso/Trippier/Doherty
      Hazard/Richa/Maddison/Fraser
      Kane/Kun(c)/Mitro

      Ryan/TAA/WB/Hojberg

      Funds ITB to do Salah switch and upgrade Trippier to Mendy/Robo later on.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Similar to mine,GTG
        Hart and Ryan rotate good? looking for two 4.5

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

          Hart next 2 and play Ryan further one with single games for Hart

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Solid. Would actually be tempted to play Ryan over Hart for the potential save points.

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

          Thats also some valid point!

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Maverick I know. Just don't trust Burnley anymore!

    11. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry for the repost:

      Morning, GTG?

      Ryan
      Alonso | TAA | Doherty | AWB
      Salah | Mane | Fraser
      Kane (VC) | Aguero (C) | Mitrovic

      Button | Hojbjerg | Billing | Bennett

      1 FT, 0.1ITB

      Thanks

        • 12 Years

        Gtg
        Although would be tempted by Mane >> Richarlison,Son

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Hmm thanks for the thought

      a) Stick with this
      b) Wildcard
      c) take a hit for another move (1.7 ITB)

      Patricio (Hamer)
      Trippier Robbo AWB (Tomkins Peltier)
      Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser (Cairney)

      3. Sidekick_08
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Think a) is best as it's too late to wc now. Don't see any transfer being worth a hit

    14. southernpacific

      Deliberating a Pogba > Richarlison move

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

        Shoulda done it last night before the rise. Solid move.

    15. Sidekick_08
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hello guys, I've WC'd and this is shaping up to be my final team.

      Patricio (Button)
      Alonso Robertson Doherty (Yedlin, AWB)
      Maddison Hazard Fraser Richarlison (Masuaku)
      Aguero Kane Mitrovic

      1.9 ITB to do Kane+Fraser -> Arnie + Salah in GW9. inefficient/risky leaving so much ITB? Would like to know your thoughts

    16. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      La(c)a

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

        Watford are solid defensively and now without Jannmat even more. Kabasele is a beast.

    17. FPL AXE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Laporte ir Trippier?

    18. drakesdrum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison/ Mane to Richarlison?

      Or maybe just Peltier to Doherty this week considering I have Alonso, Rob, Shaw?

    19. jackhammer1
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Play one?

      A.McCarthy (wol)

      NOPE

      1. Sidekick_08

      2. Teomi

      1. Sidekick_08
        • 9 Years

        B as I don't think TAA will get bonus even if we keep a CS. Bennett more chance of CS
