    Can I apologise to all hazard captainers right now, anytime I’ve ever captained he has t done well

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't matter, we're freerolling after Kane's blank so all good.

    2. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Will most likely blank.

    3. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard captainers probably mean we also have Kun, so we’re getting two chances to progress anyway.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lots of Kane owners have Kun aswell

        1. kumast
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          ´Lots´? Doubt that..

  2. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ready for the Mitro show! Need a decent score from him to justify the choice over Arnie two weeks ago

  3. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, what do you think about

    Mane Walcott Kane => Salah KDB King once KDB is recovered?

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson over King. I'd wait and see on KDB. He might still be benched vs Burnley

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why Wilson? I know he scored more, but King is also on pens what can make difference in some games.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This

  4. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Welbeck doesn't even have a grav these days on skysports.com, bless him.

  5. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lineup - Fulham starting line-up: Marcus Bettinelli, Cyrus Christie, Maxime Le Marchand, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Denis Odoi, Tim Ream, Luciano Vietto, Jean Michael Seri, Aleksandar Mitrovic, André Schürrle, Ryan Sessegnon.
    Substitutes: Sergio Rico, Aboubakar Kamara, Alfie Mawson, Floyd Ayité, Steven Sessegnon, Kevin McDonald, Stefan Johansen

    Lineup - Arsenal starting line-up: Bernd Leno, Héctor Bellerín, Nacho Monreal, Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding, Shkodran Mustafi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lucas Torreira, Alexandre Lacazette, Alex Iwobi, Danny Welbeck.
    Substitutes: Sokratis, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Emiliano Martínez, Matteo Guendouzi, Aaron Ramsey, Sead Kolasinac

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

    Wilson or King for next two ?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      King many as on pens?

    2. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have King so sort of biased but all things being equal, I’d go with the one with PK duties.

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

      Wilson not getting more chances?

      1. Critical Observer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Neither one has passed the eye-test so far tbh but like Shakira said, points don’t lie... Or something to that effect.

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson. He's the one getting the chances in open play. You'd think Bournemouth's amazing penalty run will end at some point!

    5. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’m going Wilson

    6. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson. More open play threat. Even though King is the better player

  7. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Sokratis on the bench.
    I'd have thought that a big, no nonsense defender like Sokratis would be the one to ideally take care of the Mitro threat, but I guess Emery thinks otherwise.
    Strange one, that.

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      that suprised me the most about that lineup. He is much better than Mustafi this so far

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Now even surprised about inclusion of Welbeck, I think he's played quite well recently. Iwobi is a must start, surely. Auba is injured, so not surprised to not see him. Jist that Sokratis one thats raising the eyebrow.

        1. jomikijiq
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          yeah, Iwobi's been phenomenal in the last few weeks. Happy to see him start

    2. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's been injured.

    3. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sokratis has been terrible....might have something to do with it. Makes me long for Mertesacker.

  8. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Probably nevertheless still needs transferring out over the international bore

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Reply fail - was meant to be in a thread taking about Auba. Not woken up yet

  9. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I'm considering doing Shaw to Pereira as a f/t. Are there any other better replacements up to 5.1M (I already have Doherty and AWB)?

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      TAA

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Isn't 5.1.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gomez

  10. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mitro vs that ARS defence.

    I'm not Holding much hope for a CS.

  11. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Fabianski - Foster
    Alonso - Trippier - Doherty - Cook - AWB
    Salah - Hazard - Maddison - Richarlison - Hughes
    Aguero - Wilson - Ings

    I have 2 FTs, 1.0 ITB and I really want to do Ings --> Mitrovic but do not afford, so 2 transfers are needed.

    Thanks guys!

    1. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Foster to 4m gk or downgrade Trippier

  12. MAVER!CK
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A bit confused, here's my team
    Ederson // Hamer
    Alonso | Mendy | Robertson // AWB | Bennet
    Mane | Hazard | Fraser | Pereyra // Billing
    Aguero | Vardy | Mitro
    2FTs, 1m ITB
    So, I want to bin Pereyra and bring Doherty in for Bennet, with plans to play him every week. So that leaves me with 4-3-3 most weeks. Now Fraser is good for the next two weeks. So whom should I swap Pereyra with?
    A. 4.5 bench fodder and upgrade Fraser after next two GWs
    B. Knockaert (anyone else?) and rotate them.
    or anything else that I am missing...

    PS- Both Pereyra/Doherty will fall/rise in price tonight. So gotta do it today.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt Pereyra will fall

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      looking likely!

    3. Disco Pat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am looking at three options knockaert, potentially gross if he is fit and crazy as it sounds sharqri (liverpool are now going to rotate more in league and first time for champions league, sturridge will see more game time across last 30mins also) for a pererya replacement but I might hold til.after Huddersfield. I bought at 6.2 so I can afford the drop though.
      Sold hobelas last night for doherty.

  13. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I started the season with Laca and swapped to Auba because he wasn't starting games. Ever since I got rid, he's been playing 90 mins and now Auba is on the bench lolololol.

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Auba has been sick during the midweek. Didn't travel with the squad for the EL game Thursday.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I've been the other way round but it hasn't got me lots of points either - mostly got Aubameyang's blanks at the beginning and held for 2 of his 3 price drops. First week with Lacazette now, let's see - I bet he blanks and Aubameyang scores as a sub 😀

  14. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I just hope Mitrovic has been listening to Troy Deeney...

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Regarding the beer and pie diet?

  15. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard capt. Gonna score 2 at least. U heard it here first.

    Having season of my life so far... My luck is in..

    5,242 OR

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      2 points at least? I'd take that.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That would give him a decisive 100% advantage over Kane’s haul from yesterday.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, as a captainer I'll be happy with anything more than Kane's haul, even if it's just 2 😀

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Congrats Cam. Keep doing what you're doing. It's working!

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No one likes a smug git

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        PS. Well done community on the great rank

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      One assist probably

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mark's WC goalie isn't even on the bench these days.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He didn't realise Fulham had fired their goalkeeping coach when he was playing his Wildcard. Interestingly that keeper still has the best minutes per save in the league.

  17. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Wobz could be a decent option if he takes his chance again today

  18. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Laca will get 1pt .. Guaranteed

  19. Moorinho
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    2nd Mkhi bandwagon?

    1. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn’t buy him again if it was between him and Lee Cattermole.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      still got the bruise from when the wheel came off. if Rambo goes or Ozil injury maybe

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think we'll be seeing more of Mkhitaryan now given Ramsey's contract situation, even before Ramsey goes.

        1. TAT
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This. Also, Ramsey and Özil on the pitch together hasn't been working perfectly so far this season – and Özil signed a new contract not long ago. Ramsey might be used less and less frequently going forward.

  20. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I'm starting to suspect Emery honestly has no idea what he's doing, and sort of just stumbling along

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Auba has been sick and sokratis has been injured. Nothing surprising there.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ozil? Ramsey?

        1. davidmcnamara
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Ozil back spasm, not sure about rambo

        2. TAT
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Özil back spasm, and Ramsey soon out of contract. Don't see Ramsey playing every game going forward. He's not been their best player lately, either.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      8 wins in a row.

      Better to be lucky than good.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe. He reminds me a little of Brendan Rogers after Suarez left

  21. Releasebreaks

    glad I ran away from punt oil and gone for richarlison, plus I bank more cash

  23. The White Pele

    7 years, 4 months ago

    best 7m FW (have Mitro) :

    A) Arnie
    B) Wilson
    C) Murray
    D) Jimenez

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tough to choose atm. I'd say Arnie just about, but can see an argument for all of them. I'd put Murray at the bottom of the pile.

    2. Releasebreaks
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Any except Murray

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mmmmm.....kebab.

  26. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fancy some Mitrovic points after seeing that lineup.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same. He's my vice-captain but I might have captained him if I knew that Arsenal line-up.

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

    Its gonna be a sofa day. Need blanks from Mitro, Laca, Hazard, Ings, Salah, Mane

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard points incoming. You really should get him...

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

        I have him, just didnt captain him and his EO is over 100%

    2. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That's a lot of blanks

  28. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    fancy mitro big time now with that arsenal lineup.Think fulham will atleast draw today.Going for a 2-2

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      3-2 Fulham

  29. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Early thoughts. Its time to get Pool assets back and have 2 FT. Lukaku and Dilva have to go first who in?

    A) Salah and Arnie
    B) Mane and Firmino

  30. Clasher4ever
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ozil dropped?

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Back spasm.
