    would you rather have:

    A) Salah + Richarlison
    OR
    B) DeBryune + Mane

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A) if you're gonna captain Salah

      No point owning him otherwise

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

      A - for the captaincy option.

    4. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

    5. Jarnathan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      DeBruyne + Richarlison + upgrade elsewhere

      1. Von Lipwig
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

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

    6. MTPockets
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B if Mane's ready for next game.

    7. Von Lipwig
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 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.

    8. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A, just

    9. Sánchez
      • 14 Years

      A just

    10. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years

      a

    11. Von Lipwig
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

  2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 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
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 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
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 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
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Makes sense then. Good luck bud.

  3. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Same question as TheGMan above but replace Richarlison with Fraser

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Then no

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No to A?

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Yea so B

    2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B

    3. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 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
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

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

  4. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

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

    Worth it??

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Who for?

      1. Waltomade
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Kun 🙁

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

        1. Sánchez
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 9 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
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

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

  5. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    The only forwards who scored yesterday were Kun and Reid.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Auba hatty loading

  6. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Salah for

    A) Richarlison
    B) Fraser

    B option would require a hit.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Great fixture for Fraser.

  7. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      well done to you sir

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Hattrick*

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Just Holebas last week 😮

    4. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Last week Hazard was the obvious captain

        1. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Aww.

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

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

    6. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

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

  8. Federico
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 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
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      yeah i’d do it if you (c) salah

      1. Federico
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 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. Waltomade
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 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. Waltomade
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Oops reply and grammar fail .Lol
        Sorry

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

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

      3. Federico
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 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.

    3. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    Kane sterling to aguero salah -4? Priced out if don't do it?

    1. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 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.

      agreed

  22. MASTER ROSHI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 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
      7 years, 9 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.

    3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

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

      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

    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?

    Dear FPL gods,

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

      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

          He missed one two weeks ago before his haul.

    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
