    surely Bennett rises at some point in the next 2 weeks?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Give me 5 minutes, I’ll ring his missus and find out.

  2. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do Robertson to Trippier for free this week?

    Rest of the defence:
    Alonso • Doherty • Dummet • AWB

    Cheers! 🙂

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry meant Trippier to Robertson

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Nah.

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Have 2 Fts. And Pool’s fixtures are so good!

    2. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      would rather TAA, but yes

    3. Hymie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probabky

    4. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo and/or TAA is good option with that fixtures imo.

  3. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    That arsenal team looks very weak on paper. Mitro could be in for a haul.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      we look just as bad today. Just happy seeing the Arsenal line up that there's no Auba.

    2. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I sure hope so!

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have Mitro but now Arsenal can play well with strange line up and play bad with their stronger side imo.

  4. balint84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane buyers! wildcard?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Eh?

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Got Kane in because I decided to wildcard for GW9. Otherwise, wouldn't have bothered.

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same with me

    3. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I was going to wc next week anyway, so i took a -4 to get kane in. Epic fail. Already activated wc

    4. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No, wildcard to bring someone in, not out... You can replace him with anyone

  5. Farke in hell
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What's up with Ozil? Sometimes I think he doesnt want to play.

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      back spasm

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Back spasm from carrying the Arsenal team over the last few years

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Lol barely

    2. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Injured (back spasm).

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Pulling in a sickie, I reckon

    4. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He stayed up for the mcgregor fight and is wrecked

  6. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Own Mitro + Bellerin.
    Not sure what I want from this game.

    1. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Well id say you want a bellerin cs with attacking returns! I only have mitro so a hatrick will do me 🙂

  7. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is there any way I can see the price I bought a certain player for? Thanks.

    1. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      transfers then list view

    2. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Transfer -> list view -> PP

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      The FFFix site has featur which allows you to see how much you got a player in for. Maybe there's something like that in the FPL site, I havent checked.

  8. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Nobody looking to bring Mendy back in?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Might not start, yet

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wait and see. KDB and Mendy get minutes they’re both in for me.

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It's depending on how Sane plays, doesn't it?

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If he starts today, Walker->Mendy confirmed, probably.

      1. Homer21
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Well at least you're sure;)

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Give it 4 hours

    6. is this real
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      The moment it looks like he's getting regular starts I'll be looking at ways to get him in

    7. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      haven't sold him

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Neither have I.

    8. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      kept hold of him .Will play him vs burnley but if he is rotated vs burnley will ship him out to robbo

    9. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Never sold him in the first place.

    10. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      sold for doherty ages ago but i may do a switch from Walker or Trippier IF he gets established again

    11. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kept and started him.

      • Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Once he gets regular starts. Then yes

    12. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Can someone please help. I supposedly activated my wildcard last night and yet on my team page it doesnt say anywhere that i have done so, yet under the "My team" heading it does show my new team. Also my transfer history shows my weekly transfers as 10 and overall as 19. Is this visible to my opponents in mini leagues and how can I see anywhere that my wildcard is active and I don't end up as others have done with a -36 points.

      Hope I have explained it well enough.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Click the button again. (If it didn’t work) - then the transfers you’ve made will be zero’d. If it did work the button won’t be clickable.

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If you go to make more transfers does it tell you they will cost points? Sounds like the wc might not be active

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, or possibly activated in a previous week 😮

          1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Not activated in a previous week Defoe.

        2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Just done that and it says that it would cost me 4 points.

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Well your wildcard is not active then.

          2. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            then its not active

      3. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Many thanks limbo and ginkapo. I've sorted it now. It must not have activated it. It has though told my rivals that i have played my wildcard but that is better than a shock 36 point deduction.
        That's what happens when you play it after MOTD.

    13. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is Richarlison still the better pick over Siggy?

      He's had a good few weeks now, but haven't seen much of Everton.

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Could be tho he's a tad more expensive, sight seems to hold baps better too. Can't ignore rich if he's up top tho

        1. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Siggy*

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

      3. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Both excellent again yesterday. He’s in a 10 now - much better for him with wally/Bernard creating lots of room. But Rich playing as striker or coming off the left is about as essential as it gets, with all the chances Bernard/Siggy will create.

    14. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal fan but fully behind Schurrle getting a couple today. Hope Arsenal win.

      1. Mauricios Cappuccino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Great fan you are

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah great fan of FPL.

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          At least you're not a Saints fan who captained Hazard 🙁

        3. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I’m an Evertonian who started with Mane and Salah GW1 (and Richarlison of course). It’s something all fans deal with.

    15. HD7
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I know it aint right but most of us will
      decide whether to get Salah back or switch Mane to Salah on todays match...
      and there is a good chance Mane scores a goal... Salah nothing today... and in the next Gws Salah scores a few braces :))

    16. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Back spasm?

      Due to a fat wallet?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He does have a history of back problems Mesut. Not the first time in the last few years.

      2. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Doubt the diagnosis will be tracking back

      3. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Weight of expectation.

    17. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Got back from a late flight and tried to transfer in TAA for Shaw (thus starting my wildcard) at around 2.10am and it failed to work. His price rose. Boo.

      Presumably it must update around then?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yep

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        UFC is a joke. The new wrestling with fake engineered drama surrounding it.

      3. Kane Toads
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Firmino or Vardy? Or drop Alonso > 4.5m and get both? I have Aguero.

      4. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Michael owen as insightful as ever

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          “Whichever team scores the most goals usually wins”.....

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Unless they only score own goals. You dont win if you only score own goals.

            1. potatoace
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Very true.
              Owen is an unconfirmed genius

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I like Owne like I like McGregor.
          Quiet

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

        Iwobi could be gold

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          You are right he is been in excellent form but so many players in his place so rotation still an issue.

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

            Yep that's what went wrong with Mkhi

        2. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          If he plays regularly

        3. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          if Emery just ditches Ramsey then he's a great option

      6. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Captaining zaha yesterday feels good. Thanks to Kane.

      7. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trippier + Ings --> TAA + Mitrovic for free?

        Rest of the team?

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

        Thanks guys!

      8. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        FF Fix price predictor anyone?

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          No thank you.

        2. MTPockets
            7 years, 5 months ago

            totally unreliable

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

            Only thing I use that for is live rank

          • Differential C (Mark)
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I use it. Its not been too bad, but the algorithm isnt 100% generally anyway.

        3. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Everton's fixtures are very on and off soon. United (A) Brighton (H) Chelsea (A) Cardiff (H) Liverpool (A)

          Those with Richarlison / Siggy are you keeping or planning to get rid?

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

            Brighton and Cardiff at home are plum.
            United can't defend
            Chelsea can be exposed too.

          2. F4L
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I can afford to bench them for the away games, play in the home ones.

          3. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            The 2 home games look good for returns and Richarlison playing up front can score against anyone as Everton are such a an attacking team.

            Also Newcastle & Watford both at home after that Pool game.

          4. MTPockets
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Keep - more a concern for defs than attackers, but good home games that rotate with Ings if required.

          5. Jonny Sutt
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            A) Arnie Hughes
            B) Vietto richarlison

            1. jomikijiq
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              A

              don't like Vietto as he is listed as forward

          6. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Sometimes it's the moves you don't pull the trigger on that work out. Ignoring Kane this week in favour of hazard has helped so much! Plus I almost pulled the trigger on King to Arnie for a hit.... 16 point swing right there!

            1. potatoace
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Can we wait until Haz finishes his match please. For all we know it still might not work out.

            2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            As a Kane capper and Hazard owner not too sure what to want from him

              Would you take henny out for a hit with no keeper backup? Who would be best replacement?

                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  No. Everton next week which is 50/50, then a hit for a GK seldom works out. Need a cs just to break even.

                  Not before this match but before their awful run of games I would consider it.

                What's my priority?

                A) Robbo IN
                B) Doherty IN
                C) Firmino IN

                Patricio
                Trippier Alonso Mendy
                Fraser Richarlison Hazard Mardy
