      8 years, 19 days ago

      Monreal l guess

    3. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 19 days ago

      This is getting really stupid now. What sort of choices are these.

    4. FC Barkerlona
      8 years, 19 days ago

  2. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Wow I didn't realize Alli got ruled out. Moura looks good for a while hehe

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      8 years, 19 days ago

      no one worried about spurs form thats already a bit dodgy and now without their 2 best midfielders? no?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        They've still got a really strong front 4.

        Kane
        Son Lamela Lucas

        Is better than anyone outside of the top 6 can muster.

      2. Touré De Force
        8 years, 19 days ago

        No, despite their consistency under Poch., people still doubt them. When will we learn. Top 3 finish (third methinks) for Spurs this season.

  3. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Captain Sterling or Aguero?

    1. Dannyb
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling locked in for me, Kun vice.

  4. Notaclue
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Last min wildcard. Appreciate opinions!

    Hart
    Delph, trippier, doherty
    Salah, richarlison, Fraser, Maddison
    Kane, ageuro (c), mitrovic

  5. zotter
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bottomed

    On a Wc

    Good in general. And who do I put in place of Alli up to 9.0??

    Hart. Ryan
    TAA. Diop. Trippier. Doherty. Awb
    Ward. Salah. Hazard. Xxxxx. Richarlison
    Aguero. Mitro. Jiminez

    1. 50pipsDaily
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Maddison

  6. Neetan
    8 years, 19 days ago

    So who to bench?

    A - Maddison (newc)
    B - Fraser (CRY)
    C - Wilson (CRY)
    D - Mitro (eve)
    E - Mane (chel)

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      B or C if you have both.

    2. Stokelona
      8 years, 19 days ago

      None of them

  7. langwithboy
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Start Mane or D. Silva? Thanks!

    1. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
      8 years, 19 days ago

      D Silva

    2. zotter
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Both really. But Mané if I had to

    3. Arteta
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Both.

    4. Neetan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Why not both?

      But dsilva

    5. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Both

      1. langwithboy
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Who would you drop if the other midfielders are Hazard Maddison and Richarlison then? Cheers guys

        1. 003
          8 years, 19 days ago

          One of your defs or attackers!

        2. Alpharius
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I'd ask who your three forwards are.

  8. oi no professionals
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Would you play?
    A. Bennett + Patricio
    B. Hennessey + AWB

    Chelsea v Liverpoool is also ruining my life right now, can someone talk me out of benching Mané and Robertson?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      8 years, 19 days ago

      to me a, because i like to go all in and clearly better chance of cleanies

      you reckon Chelsea to be huge favourites vs Liverpool? If so don´t play them. Players on a team that currently sit on top of the table seems unwise to bench? Everyone else is in the same situation so either way your not loosing out by playing them, but the other way could hurt more if say, lIverpool win with cleanie and they are involved.

  9. Barphilona
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Considering all my mates will be captaining Aguero this weekend, is it worth the risk me captaining Richarlison?

    With City playing in CL midweek and Brighton being tough to break down when we played them at Anfield earlier in the season, it could be worth a punt to gain points on them.

    Or it could backfire and Aguero scores 5...

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Who do you think will score more points? Aguero or Richarlison?

      1. Barphilona
        8 years, 19 days ago

        If I knew that mate I wouldn't be asking the question haha! I think Aguero has the potential for more, obviously. But I also think Richarlison could tear Fulham a new one today as he'll want to make amends for the red card.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          8 years, 19 days ago

          To me, an Aguero vs Richarlison captaincy comparison is itself ridiculous. Owning Richarlison is enough IMO. If you own the likes of Kun, Salah, Kane, you need to captain them in such fixtures.

        2. Brosstan
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Why did he wait for this week to make amends for the red card?

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            8 years, 19 days ago

            I chuckled 😆

    2. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No one else on FPL has the same ceiling as Aguero

    3. Touré De Force
      8 years, 19 days ago

      He is due an HAUL. Taking a risk on the captaincy myself, if you own him anyway it's only partial damage.

      1. Barphilona
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah this is very true! As long as Richarlison scores the damage wouldn't be too bad anyway like you say.

        1. Alpharius
          8 years, 19 days ago

          I'm considering Kane over Aguero for the same reasons. On the whole though I'd advise going for Aguero, if richarlison hauls you still own him, and make up points on those who don't. If Aguero hauls and you don't captain him you lose ground as he's much more highly owned. Ask yourself if one of them gets a hattrick and the other blanks, who would you regret not captaining more?

    4. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm on next page. Same thought process.
      Gonna be brave 😀

  10. LD
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Mendy -> Trippier for free the right move?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Oh yes

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      cool kids done it Tuesday evening before the price changes

      1. LD
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Think the cool kids disregarded tv and waited for more info later in the week

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          8 years, 19 days ago

          You call them dullards 😆

    3. Alpharius
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yes.
      Slight chance he'll miss Cardiff, but worth the risk imo with Eriksen out and Trippier all over set pieces.

    4. dodgystats
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Defo

  11. SirStevieG
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play Hennessey or McCarthy this week?

    1. Alpharius
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Close call, wolves haven't been that clinical in front of goal. If you have AWB I'd play McCarthy.

    2. Alpharius
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Either way tbh I think they will both concede, it's just who gets more saves/concedes less. I wouldn't stress too much about it it's probably only a 1-2pt call.

  12. Cok3y5murf
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Was all set on bringing Kane in this week but these injuries have put me off 😕

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Still my captain this gameweek.. I have faith in Huddersfield.

  13. Lyonnais
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Play Roberson (che) or van Aanholt (bou)?

    PVA bench means double Palace def benched.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Play PVA

  14. dodgystats
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Hi,

    Would it be waste of transfer Aubameyang -> Kane?
    Would have the following then:

    Fab
    Wan Doherty Robertson
    Mane, Hazard, Fraser, Richarlsion,
    Kun, Wilson, (Aub or Kane)

    Foster,Kelly, Chilwell, Neves

    Any thoughts?

  15. Aaa
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Sorry repost:

    1ft left this week (did Mendy to Trippier already) Is Ramsey to Richarlison just a waste?

    Have this squad:
    Pat (Hennessey)
    Alonso Trippier Doherty (AWB, Cook)
    Haz Mane Maddison Ramsey Fraser Aguero Vardy (Ings)

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I say rather a must

  16. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Thinking for 2GW until a WC, Salah and Wilson out for Richarlison and Lacazette.

    Yay or nay?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Get Kane

  17. Neves say Neves
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Bottomed

    Wildcarding in gw9 so looking for the highest potential points in next two weeks.

    A) Salah + Ings > Kane +
    Richarlison
    B) Salah + Ings > Lacazette + Hazard
    C) Salah + Ings > Vardy + Hazard

    1) Richarlison
    2) Hazard

    I have Walcott in my team of that makes a difference

    1. Neves say Neves
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Edit: can’t afford hazard so just Kane lava or vardy

      1. Zero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        On the same options. Head and heart say Kane or Vardy. Feel like Laca has the lower floor though.

  18. My Name Is Pepu
    8 years, 19 days ago

    With all the hype around Richarlison this week, this place is gonna be a burning park if he blanks today.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hard to complain too much at his price, was lively last week

    2. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm an owner but I'm surprised some people have so much faith in him to captain him

      1. Puncheon Guly
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Agreed. Never ever ever trust Everton, particularly at home to 'poor' opposition

    3. FC Barkerlona
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Another mindless sending off would be hilarious

    4. Brosstan
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hope he does. Hype is ridiculous. Everton are terrible.

  19. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Luke Shaw back in today after losing to the famous Derby County midweek? 🙂

    1. Puncheon Guly
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yes. One of few bright spots for United this season

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks mate

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      He didn't play midweek. So yes.

  20. ForEvra Young
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Keep or sell Pogba?

    if sell... who to (max 9.2)? already have Salah, Maddison, Richarlison.

    1. Puncheon Guly
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Keep

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Keep, will be super-fired up today and want to make a statement on the pitch to Mourinho

    3. FC Barkerlona
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm keeping. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he hauls after all the publicity this week

  21. Puncheon Guly
    8 years, 19 days ago

    9 of my squad are playing against each other this week, including my whole defence. I have Mendy and 1FT, so I could bring in Trippier for some diversity, or hold the transfer and use my squad (AWB or Bennett, who are facing Wilson and Ings respectively).

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’ve used free hit this week, feels good

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 19 days ago

        That was to add spurs players, rich, mitro, and 2 more city

      2. Puncheon Guly
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Interesting. Bold move. I can see how it might work, but think I'll save FH for DGW.

    2. The Left Duke #3
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Make the transfer. Trippier has Cardiff next week while Mendy has Lpool away. Reassess after Int break whether to bring Mendy back in

      1. Puncheon Guly
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks all

  22. StoneMountain
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Salah and Wilson to Richarlison and Kane for a -4?

    1. The Left Duke #3
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No for me

    2. Joggers Nipple
      8 years, 19 days ago

      no

    3. lilmessipran
      8 years, 19 days ago

      What if you had a WC to bring salah back in and you had king instead of Wilson?

      1. StoneMountain
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Bournemouth have decent fixtures which is swaying my decision not to do it. It’s a tough call.

    4. StoneMountain
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Thanks! I’ll keep my FT

  23. The Left Duke #3
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Fabianski (McCarthy)
    Alonso Robertson Doherty (Shaw AWB)

    Right order for GK & DF?

  24. ♤TeddyBear♤
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I AM SO TEMPTED TO DO MANE > RICH FOR A HIT

    1. Boss Hogg
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I did it.
      Do you think Rich will score today. Do you think Mane will score today?
      Therein lies your answer.

    2. Puncheon Guly
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Don't do it

    3. Amsterhammer
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Just do it if you really want to. It's game have fun.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      8 years, 19 days ago

      NOT FOR HIT

    5. ♤TeddyBear♤
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I think Rich will get at least one. Mane can score of course but Rich can also score two.

  25. Waltomade
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Eriksen to Son for a hit??

    1. Puncheon Guly
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Probably not. Will you want Eriksen back? What's your plan to spend the excess cash on? Are you getting Son cos he's the best Spurs cover, or do you genuinely think he's the best option? Don't do it as a knee jerk

  26. EMERGING STAR
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Just realised I have 4 players with low ownership (Lacazette, King, Bernardo Silva, Fabianski)

    Will be a big boost in rank if they haul

    1. Mooster©️

      Is it you, Boring James Milner?

      1. zizoo10

        milner would have the template. we're all milners.

      2. Brosstan
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Milner wouldnt own a single player with less than 20% ownership

        1. EMERGING STAR
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Sorry I did not get this Milner talk.
