Harry Kane (£12.5m) is already the runaway leader of our Gameweek 8 captain poll, but do those currently not in possession of the Spurs forward need to sign him?

That is the big question on the minds of many Fantasy Premier League managers this week, especially with Liverpool and Manchester City options potentially cancelling each other out.

We’ve gone over some of Kane’s numbers from the first seven Gameweeks and compared them with how he was faring 12 months ago, to see if it’s worth selling the likes of Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) or Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) to get him in.

    Thoughts on wc dilemma for gw9-12

    A) mane alonso trippier/mendy
    B) salah luiz yedlin/duffy

    I will have the rest haz madd kane richa taa doherty etc.

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I like B as think Newc and Brighton could offer cheap clean sheets

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Cross the WC bridge later. But B looks better.

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      A looks head and shoulders better

    Bottomed:
    Vardy or Arnautovic for the next 5 gameweeks? I'm a bit worried about Arnautovic's injury record

    1. Holmes
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Vardy

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      both excellent options. Arnautovic is more explosive

      1. Eytexi
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        This

  3. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Morning all, I have been making steady progress working my way from 200k to 8k over last few weeks. Want to keep the momentum up if possible. Correct bench order? Anything worth a hit?

    Ederson
    Alonso Robbo Wan Biss
    Hazard Sterling Maddison Fraser
    Kane (C) Mitrovic Zaha

    Button Doherty Bennett Hjoberg

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Looks fine to me. Maybe Doherty over Robbo. He's been playing very high up and can get attacking returns as well as CS.

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      WannaB over Doherty is crazy.

      1. XABI 15
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        ye tbh I only did it as have Zaha and if Zaha scores Doherty loses clean sheet. Not a fan of having contradicting players from same game if poss

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          you have robbo vs sterling.

          1. XABI 15
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 15 days ago

            yep so thats why I wanted to avoid another clash

            1. Christina.
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 15 days ago

              Doherty's goal threat is close to being the highest of all the defenders. Not to mention his chances created.

              1. XABI 15
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 15 days ago

                noted might do as you say and swap them over then

    3. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I'd stick. Always fancy AWB at home.

  4. Azathoth
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Should i WC ? 1FT.
    Hennessey - Hamer
    Alonso - Robbo - Boly - AWB - Mee
    Salah - Fraser - Moura - Gray - Guendouzi
    Kun - Mitro - Bobby

    Thanx

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Not for me. Moura and Mee excellent options this week and Salah and Bobby excellent the week after.

      Can you afford Gray to Gudmondsson?

  5. mik-hail-tal
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Anyone else going for Glenn Murray now that Brighton's fixtures turn very nicely?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      nope. never.

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      No but I'm interested in Knockaert

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Play WanBiss or Boly?

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      AWB

    2. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      AWB

  7. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Lacazette or Vardy?

    Would you sacrifice Alonso for Laca? All for GW9. I'm rolling my trannie this week.

    1. Krionos
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I wouldn't sacrifice Alonso, as he is always likely to pop up with a monster score...

      I'm still not convinced on Lacazette and Emery's tinkering could still give us some unexpected lineups, so Vardy edges it for me.

      Always liked Vardy, but hardly had him in my team for some reason...

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      no as I think Vardy can score against Arsenal

    3. TJ
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Vardy and Alonso

  8. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Morning all,

    So, Eriksen replacements, £9.7m budget?

    Ozil
    Moura
    ?

    Current team:

    Patricio

    Alonso – Robertson – Trippier – AWB

    Salah – Eriksen* - Maddison – Richarlison

    Aguero – Wilson

    Bench: Foster; Ings; Hughes; Rico

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Save play Hughes or Ings and wait a week to get mane with two fts he will smash any option around that price bracket with the upcoming fixtures

      1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Good idea, thanks!

  9. Enes_Sahini1
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Crazy to captain Trippier potential of a cs plus assist, whereas salah and aguero have possibility of blanking

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      ...and Trippier does not have a possibility of blanking?

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Captain Hazard. If you don't have him, get him.

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Haha I’ve given him the vc. Rarely a good idea to captain a defender but could just pay off this time

    4. dicky2014
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      He might not even play.

    5. joeydelucchi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I posted this time last week the same question, the crowd talked me out of it so i went with Rich (non aguero owner)....if i had gone with my guy i would have 16 pts more right now....can trip do it 2 games in a row, will he even play? who knows

      1. joeydelucchi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        gut*

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        You mean 8 more..

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Oh you've moved on to arguing with someone else now you've lost with me?

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 15 days ago

            ‘lost’? As Geoff alluded to, you’re carrying on a bit. I was merely pointing out a common misconception of doubling captaincy points.

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 15 days ago

              No, special forces. Let's examine the evidence:

              Article A: Mendy punishment = not first choice.
              Article B: Quality bants allowed only on a sad-act discussion website.

              Where to begin?

        2. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          on a totally random post which hasn't been active for 3 hours...

        3. joeydelucchi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Yes you’re right!

          It’s strange to think, 1 player gets 11 and the other player gets 3 pts and You think there is This massive difference, but it’s actually only 8?!

  10. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Anyone fancy some Rice?

    1. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      None for me even if said Rice has appealing fixtures.

  11. AnarChYs7
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Have 2 FT, 4.3 ITB. Any transfer suggestions? Everything is looking a bit sideways to me.

    Ederson - 4.0
    Alonso, Robertson, Holebas, WB - 3.9
    Hazard, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser - 4.3
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Non playing bench isn’t ideal- fix that if you haven’t used WC yet

      Depends what you want to do with those funds? Leicester cover needed
      Fraser to Maddison or Wilson to Vardy

  12. Krionos
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    With this article in mind and the fact that Eriksen, Son and Alli have all been absent for longer periods, wouldn't that be the main reason for Kane's change in playstyle for the first few weeks of this season?

    I mean, he's proved that his goalscoring form is still there last weekend, and after the break when all his wingmen are injury free, wouldn't it be fair to assume that he could be back to his roaring best?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      ‘Roaring best’ with a pen.. and an unmissable header on a platter? I don’t think so.. he still isn’t creating space, turning defenders and getting shots away like yesteryear

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Also depends on whether he's up top, or him and Moura.

  13. Enes_Sahini1
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Eriksen, Gray to Maddison, Knockart (-4)?

    Have enough to then bring in KDB

    Although I have no Hazard

  14. Liverpool fixture swing plans
    The Left Duke #3
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    What are people's plans for Lpool assets after the Int break. Massive fixture swing for one of the form teams in the league.

    I'm currently on Salah Mane Robertson but am worried about rotation for the attackers with Shaqiri and Sturridge showing goof form.

    Thoughts?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Will keep Salah and Robertson. Might also get TAA

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Yes I have a WC so and tempted to do that and lose Mane for hazard.

      2. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        THIS potennally, budget wise it looks the best.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Have Salah and robbo. May get taa and play 4 at the back will have to see how the team lined up over this week

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Actually may get van dijk instead of taa for security of starts

        1. jtreble
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          I had forgotten VVD in my plans. Thanks for posting.

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Currently on Robbo and Milner
      Tempted to bring in Bobby but not sure losing Vardy is worth it
      3rd striker is Mitro who might become Arnie soon

      Not prepared to pay for salah and would like to have funds for when kdb returns

      No clear cut answer...

    4. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Going defensive double-up with Robbo and TAA, also with Salah set for captaincy.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      TAA, Robbo, Salah from Pool, Mendy, KDB, Kun from city = win FPL

      1. Demel
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        That's my plan as well.

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Cool story Demlol

      2. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        This wasn't the question

        1. Whats the Mata?
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Ok

      3. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        With Hazard?

    6. MTPockets
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Have Salah/TAA and certainly holding now. Share a slight concern about impact on minutes from Shaqiri/Sturridge, but imagine the fwd trio will either perform or they won't. i.e. may get subbed late on but those fixtures would still offer opportunities for G/A.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        This is very true especially if Salah hits form. He started slow last season as well so expect to start hitting the net soon. I'm liking a TAA/Robbo double up as well.

    7. Rihanovic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Robbo, TAA and Milner have a total score only 9 points behind the front three, massive value IMO.
      I'll take my chances with that trio.

      1. jtreble
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Interesting.

    8. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Binned Mane this GW. Will have Salah & both full-backs going forward after the IB. Good potential for points at both ends.

    9. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I wouldn't be worried too much about rotation until Christmas time with klopp. Maybe the odd rest here and there but not wholesale changes. I'm gonna stick with just double pool with salah and Trent I think.

    10. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Kane + D.Silva to Arnie/Mitrovic + Salah

      Then Trippier to Robertson potentially the week after, although I may just go TAA and save some money.

    11. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Still have Salah Mane and Robertson. Realize I need to get Hazard in. Can get him in for Mane for free, but a bit reluctant to do that with Liverpools fixtures coming up. The other option is to ship Aguero instead and take it from there.

    12. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I am looking at doubling up on defence with either Firmino or Milner as attack. Or straight up tripling up in defence and moving to a 5-3-2. I will wait to see how other non Liverpool players are performing. Essentially I don't like Salah out Mane and think the value could be elsewhere

    13. kennethrhcp
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I sold Mane for Hazard this week & will get TAA for PvA next week (already have Salah & Robertson)

    14. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah Robbo TAA all the way

    15. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Only have Salah, will likely still only have Salah unless an obvious transfer becomes apparent

    16. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah is a certainty with those fixtures. As many have mentioned, it’s a case of 3 heavy hitters before ruining the rest of the team, so as much as I would like Bobby or Mane as well, it is too much to have them alongside the rest.

      Robbo and Taa offer value, although concerns over both getting rested. May use them and have the defence ready to come in just in case.

    17. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      The way my team is right now it's looking like Salah Mane TAA, but I have a feeling Salah TAA and Robbo might be the best way to go. Hopefully Mane hauls pretty soon to change that

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I'm thinking the same. Currently on Robbo Mane Salah but a switch to TAA on a WC will be nice

    18. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Think it's Salah + double def for me. I am not convinced Mane and Firmino are worth it this year with Sturridge and Shaqiri waiting in the wings. But if one of them does stand out, it's always possible to get them in a double move.

    19. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      such is Liverpool's strength in depth, there will always be rotation worries, the same as there is for City. With his injury record, there's little chance of Sturridge starting and finishing on a regular basis IMHO.

      The question is whether they can perform to a level of City's players that justifies the rotation risks.

    20. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Still got Salah, Mane and Robbo. No plans to change.

    21. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Why do I keep thinking those going for a double defence of TAA and Robertson are mainly doing it becuase they don't have the funds to get Salah and one of Mane/Firmino?

      or am I becoming a bit of a skeptic in my old age. 😉

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        As far as Im concerned, I prefer Vardy-Mitro-Arnie than Firmino, it’s not funds related.

        Salah, Hazard, Richarlison and Maddison great assets in midfield. If I upgrade one of the 6.5 mids I will do that to KDB or Sterling, not Mané.

    22. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Salah, Milner, Robbo intended here.

    23. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I have TAA and Salah.

      Going for a third mid priced striker will allow me to add Robertson.

    24. joeydelucchi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Alisson, TAA and Salah

    Fantasy Football Scout Daily Hot Topic

    Who do you think will step up in GW8 and be a popular transfer in for GW9, and why?

    Do you think it will be an already-established name in our sides or someone who is a major differential?

    Have you seen something in a someone's play or in their stats to make you think they could be ready for a breakout GW?

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Duffy.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        His attacking returns have been insane

        Bloody love Duffy. 16 points in 3 games.
        Probably still bench fodder this week.

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          this. I had Duffy all last season and all this and I think I've played him a handful of times. When he blanks.

      3. Axle11
        • 13 Years

        Agree with this one.

    2. IRBOX ⚽

      Mendy version 2.0

      1. GENERATION X

        Otherwise called Doherty

      2. jtreble

        Jonny?

    3. PASTATOGEL
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Knockaert

    4. nisag17

      • 17 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah. He will be anyway due to fixtures but I think he might score against Man City and suddenly he becomes a must have instead of a get rid.

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        He better score!

        1. Pieterke30
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Twice! (Maybe he will get 1 bonus then if we’re lucky)

    5. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah or Pereira 🙂

    6. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah will get double digits this week and then a massive scramble for everyone to get him in for the easy fixtures, where he will then probably get rested 🙂

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Dont you say that

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Probably Son. I’d say Kane will be given a rest either starting on the bench, or going off very early, with Son scoring 2 & setting up 1

      1. GENERATION X
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Why would Kane be rested with the IB to follow, Spurs without a load of their best players and a chance to get some much needed confidence against the worst defence? Doubt MP would dare take him off.

        1. jtreble
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Why? Kane’s minutes.

    8. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Quite fancy a Holebas return to form

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah, that too

    9. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Traore may get his first start this season if Costa's not 100%. (Been waiting for this). However with Wolves naming an unchanged side in seven, a prem. record, it's no guarantee.

      Declan Rice, playing OOP, in an improving Hammers side is tempting me this week.

      1. luke25
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I quite rate Traore now, matured as a player so would be interested if he gets a run in the team

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          I love his managers philosophy, he was a club record signing and has only the Moose cup start to his name.

          I think his time is close, surely.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years

                You don't need WHM knowledge, the FPL page says it clear as day.
                Yes he's in midfield but, he has 0.0 threat (on FPL site) so doesn't get forward in play or at set pieces....terrible pick

                1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

              No comment on Rice 😉

              It's difficult to judge tone online certainly, so I understand that some things will be taken the wrong way. But a few more words there might have made people realize you weren't doing it angrily or inappropriately 😀

      3. Axle11
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I have a feeling if Costa isn't 100%, Cavaleiro will take place. Adama still look better for super-sub role as he's quite selfish and try to do take-ons, and take chances by himself.

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          and has comparable stamina to the 40 year old virgin

    10. luke25
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      If Pascal Gross returns I can see him having a good game

      1. SweepaKeepa
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Another vote for Groß here. Should be back from injury and ready for Brighton’s improved fixtures. Got him in!

    11. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Knockaert I have pegged as the next Fraser basically.
      This means everyone else should avoid at all costs.

    12. JurgenRodgers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Schurrle against a tired Arsenal side

    13. Pep Pig
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Step up Richarlison. After last night's feeble penalty miss, I'm convinced he will be ready to bounce back at Leicester

    14. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Salah. LIV have the wood on Citeh and Salah will be to the fore punishing the hapless sellers.

    15. Lazaretti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Will Hughes. Watford can be still considered as team in form. Fixtures getting easier. Cheap.

      1. Alpharius
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Agree. I think he may be the highest scoring £5m mid this season (barring any injuries).

      2. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        keep an eye on deulofeu's return

    16. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Triple rise for TAA

    17. The Rumour Mill
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      If he's recovered from his knock, Vardy. Posting very encouraging attacking stats and FPL points in his last 3 matches. Playing a defensively weak Everton side and then follows it up with attractive fixtures up until GW14.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Get him in for free instead of Kane for a hit would be sound avice then?

    18. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Firmino

      I think he's gradually finding his way in as a balanced alternative to Salah.

    19. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Son - great fixture, injuries get him in the side and he is a nice one week differential.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        + he has much better stats at home, be it Wembley

    20. Old Wulfrunian
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Giroud.If he gets a rest against Mol Vidi then i think he will have a good performance on Sunday.

    21. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      How can we know this? It’s just guessing.

      Salah.

    22. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Kane is the breakout. He'll probably score at least two this weekend and then a load of players - there are more than 5 million and most (not on this site) are naive - will bring him seeing his price rise. And then be left scratching their heads when he blanks vs the might Hammers and City.

    23. The Left Duke #3
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Son....will be keeping an eye on him tonight

      ozil.
      two 10 pointers is easy enough to ignore, a third and suddenly those who had punts on son, or maybe own david silva for example will surely come sniffing

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        I will never get Ozil, not a chance

    25. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years

      Kane again. And Son.

      Mitrovic and Vardy, I hope.

    If Mendy does play against Liverpool how confident can we be about how much he plays. Mendy is different to the normal rotation threat because of Sane and Pep. Especially the Sane situation is a bit worrying. Thoughts? Thinking of getting him back after having him from the start but the rotation threat suddenly feels much heavier now.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Be interesting to see. There’s no reason set in stone why Mendy & Sané can’t start together.

      1. nisag17
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Yes, not set in stone. Mendys injuries have meant that it has never gone to a point where them not playing together becomes obvious. Wait and see I guess but big decision after the Liverpool game.

    2. luke25
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I'll look to get him back after the Liverpool game I think, although I brought Bellerin in for him and not sure I want to get rid of him yet

    3. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I'm sick of waiting for him, shipping to TAA tonight.

    4. jtreble
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I’m not overly concerned about rotation. The fundamental “Mendy” question for me is this: how often will Pep include a player in his plans that he considers to be “trouble”?

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      the question is how long people are willing to persevere holding him. I've seen less faith in organized religion.

      I think City have looked better defensively without him IMHO. They only kept one CS with him in the side, away at Arsenal on the opening weekend.

  17. Pia06rc
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Vardy, Lukaku or Lacazatte to score more points only this week (on FH)

    1. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Laca for me

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Vardy... I wish I could bring him in. I can. for Kun, but don't see the purpose when I'll want Sergio back.

          I’m not even surprised about the outcome of this game. I always look forward to our games but recently mourinho has made watching us a punishment now. Something needs to change. It’s time for mourinho to go.

    How much of a troll is Fraser? Will he ever get a return for me after benching his 18?

      He'll get returns over time, but 18 points isn't being repeated any time soon I dont think.

        He goes after Fulham for me but tempted to lose him even earlier but prioritising a KDB plan

      Keeping until after Fulham - plenty of threat since the 18 points but returns still to come.

    I don't have a way to get Kane without a hit, so going Kaneless this week.

    But, with Alli and Eriksen injured, I'm looking to get Son or Moura on a free transfer. Which do you think is the better option? Who out the two looked better vs Huddersfield, if anyone saw the game?

      Son has higher ceiling

    Best 6.7 MF for this week. I have 2FT this week and i’m planning on wilcarding next week.

    (a) Gudmundsson
    (b) Knockaert
    (c) Richarlison
    (d) Anyone else

    1. Holmes

      Gudmundsson or Pereryra would be my choice

    2. Eytexi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      A although i have C

    Not picking Kane, too expensive.

    I have Fraser (5.8) /Wilson (6.3) and Schurrle (5.9) /Mitrovic (6.9)
    so doubling up on one of Bournemouth or Fulham at the mo. If you could transfer one of those for someone who would start gameweek 8 who would you pick? (no money itb)

      Can't see any better options in the respective price ranges.

    Just a random question. At what stage of being in which cup competition means that teams miss out on gameweeks and hence are missing from blank gameweeks but part of double gameweeks. Can anyone share insights from memory.

      Can be early blanks due to replays.

      Looks like EFL final and FA Cup QFs right now.

    Bilva looking set to start vs Liverpool, I've no reason to sell him then! Survives another week

      No reason other than his likely 2 points 😉

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Suppose this is better than taking -4 for a likely 2 pointer though 😆
