    would you rather have:

    A) Salah + Richarlison
    OR
    B) DeBryune + Mane

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A) if you're gonna captain Salah

      No point owning him otherwise

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A - for the captaincy option.

    4. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      DeBruyne + Richarlison + upgrade elsewhere

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        that's a fair point. Liverpool not doing much going forward

    6. MTPockets
        5 years, 6 months ago

        B if Mane's ready for next game.

      • Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks guys. We really rate Salah that high then? There's always captaincy options.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Naah, he was never worth the 13m. But if you really want to captain him for those upcoming fixtures then it's worth getting him in.

        A, just

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks everyone. Lots expected of Salah in the next few gameweeks then 🙂

    7. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would Fraser to fodder and TAA to Robertson be worth a hit in the long run?

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Fraser plays the worst defence in the league next week and seeing your team you have decent cover if TAA doesn't play again next week. Roll a transfer over and do it for free the week after.

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It would still cost a hit because I did two transfers yesterday. Trippier to Mendy and Ederson to Alisson. Thanks anyway. If TAA doesn't start against Cardiff then it will be worth it.

          1. badgerboy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Oh ok. It could work yeah. Just see where things are after next week.

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        considering the same. Bourn games change in a few weeks so waiting till then. Hoping TAA gets a start against Cardiff.

      3. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        You're shipping two potential starters (considering you can get a 5m def instead of TAA) for just 1 starter for a hit?

        I would keep Fraser and downgrade elsewhere if you really want Robertson.

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          The thing is I have a benching headache every week and this would solve it.

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Be patient and do it another week then. Not the right thing to sell Fraser for a hit before Fulham. Not saying he's gonna set the world alight but it's a good fixture to have him.

            1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              No man I am talking about doing it after the game vs Fulham. I thought about downgrading him all season when the fixtures turn for him. Thanks.

              1. My Name Is Pepu
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Makes sense then. Good luck bud.

    8. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same question as TheGMan above but replace Richarlison with Fraser

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Then no

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          No to A?

          1. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yea so B

      2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        B

      3. MASTER ROSHI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        B

      4. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        It's worth it only if you're gonna captain him. Don't you own Hazard? I would captain him in the next 3.

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I have Hazard yes.
          Currently have Salah too.
          Not really this week I'm looking at, more gw11

    9. FPL-(VAR)dy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      -4 to get Wilson to face the poorest defence in the league??

      Worth it??

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Who for?

        1. FPL-(VAR)dy
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Kun 🙁

          Its actually Kun and Mane for Salah and Wilson as a week punt

          1. Sánchez
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            So it's more about Salah really?

            Could pay off but what's the plan the weeks after?

          2. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I would do it if Mane is confirmed out and if you're going to captain Salah.

    10. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The only forwards who scored yesterday were Kun and Reid.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Auba hatty loading

    11. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah for

      A) Richarlison
      B) Fraser

      B option would require a hit.

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Great fixture for Fraser.

    12. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone else also not had a captain fail yet? Feel like every week has been reliable 6-8 points due to Aguero and Salah

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        well done to you sir

      2. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        o/, also had Hazard and Kun as captain when they scored a hattraick 🙂

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Hattrick*

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Just Holebas last week 😮

      4. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Really need to ask this question? I mean think back to just last gameweek.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Last week Hazard was the obvious captain

          1. fedolefan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Aww.

      5. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’m with you man, next few weeks making it very easy to continue too

      6. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Well done, I've had 3 fails so far.

        Eriksen in GW2, Son last GW and Hazard this GW. Been great otherwise.

    13. Federico
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      On 2FT with exact cash to switch Aguero & Moura to Arnie & Salah. Yey or ney?

      Not sure I should tie up all that money with Salah, as I also want to squeeze in KdB soonish. But, Liverpool fixtures tempting, and Mané uncertain.

      1. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        yeah i’d do it if you (c) salah

        1. Federico
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers! I'll be looking for news about Mané this week. Might take a punt on him if he's ready. Could use the extra money over Salah.

          If I go for Salah, he'll definitely be my captain.

      2. FPL-(VAR)dy
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Is it just me,but as a Liverpool fan..I don't think Mane is not the player he was at Southampton or the first season at Liverpool.

        Trying too hard it seems with Salah around 🙁

        1. FPL-(VAR)dy
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Oops reply and grammar fail .Lol
          Sorry

        2. ‘Tis the Season
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          As a Liverpool fan, your confused.Mane the man!

        3. Federico
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          He was looking good at the start of the season, at least in his FPL history. I'll have to admit I haven't watched them enough.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Salah for Kane a no brainer, but I would swap out Sterling for Aguero after he got his rest. Find another way

        It's hardly a mess.. Moura and TAA could be moved on but even that's debatable

      2. Balotellitubbies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not a complete mess? I would probably ship Moura for Maddison. Could probably wait on Doherty now plus Holebas has great fixtures in the short run. Would also keep TAA in case he starts.

      How do people feel about going for 3 cheaper forwards to allow for ARM at the back and Salah and Haz in mid?

      1. Balotellitubbies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Certainly an option, but I would feel unconfortable without Aguero/Sterling for captaiincy. 3 cheapies up top might be one too many in the long run, what about 4-4-2?

        1. MASTER ROSHI
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Wouldn't be playing all 3, would just allow a mid of Haz/Salah/Rich/Maddison/KDB
          Then have the choice of 2 from Arnie Jiminez and Mitro every week

      2. Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Never been a fan of three cheap forwards myself, I prefer to swap in / out the premium forward with the best fixtures / form and back it up with mid-priced options.

        • Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years

          Arnie, Laca, Vardy, Mitro and even Giroud look like they can be nice long term options.

          5 years, 6 months ago

          I've gone for a 442 with 2 cheapies up front (Wilson and Mitrovic) that's allowed Robertson/Alonso/Mendy in def and Salah/Hazard/Sterling in mid

      3. Balotellitubbies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        5 years, 6 months ago

        2FT and 0.8ITB.

        Patricio - Hamer
        Alonso - Rob - Doherty - Asmith - AWB
        Salah - Hazard - Rich - Fraser - Masuaku
        Aguero - Arnie - Mitro

        Not sure what to do here. Could get Fabianski in for Hamer to rotate, or one of the 5m-ish Pool defenders for Asmith. Or switch Aguero for Sterling (still want him over Aguero), any other suggestions?

        Hennessey to save a Rich peno and Wally hatty is probably a bit too much to hope for I guess 😀

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years

          Just a tad. I’d gladly take a Henn pen save from Siggy, though.

            Is Siggy definitely on pens? I don’t recall Everton even getting one

        Any changes you would make for next week? BSilva rotation risk I know but has been playing well and no one obvious to replace him (up to max 7.7 m)

        Foster
        Doherty Alonso Robertson
        Salah (c) Hazard Richarlison BSilva
        Aguero Mitrovic Wilson
