    Hate when FFS team news says he may not start and they put him in the formation, or he is likely to start and they don't put him in the formation.

      Who have they done it with?

        It repeats many times. Not just this GW.

          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Re-post due to Epic Fail 😉

          Scout 'Team News' has Hazard starting but he's not in Scout Picks.

          Does Team News ever bench the top players unless they are definitely out?

  3. ☈☾
    • 8 Years

    Any news on Deeney?

  4. Yordan Letchkov

    Patricio - Fab
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Cedric - AWB
    Hazard - Mane - Richarlison - Maddison - Cairney
    Agüero - Mitro - Arna

    2 FT, 0.8 ITB

    Any late suggestions? Thinking of Cairney -> Murphy/Hojbjerg or something like that to not waste a FT

  6. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I was thinking 5-2-3 this week, but who to play in midfield?

    Kepa (Button)
    Robertson-Rudiger-Mendy-Holebas-Lovren
    Salah c ( +1 of Knockaert - Pereyra - Fraser - Camarosa)
    Aguero - Laca - Arnie

    Thanks!!

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Pereyra and Frasier should both play

  7. Babyangus01
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ederson or Patricio
    Doherty or Shaw?

  8. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years

    Mini captain poll lads ?

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years

      Salad

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Just use the big one. Same results.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Choice to face here though

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ahhh you want to know who the elite players are choosing. Then why didn't you say. 😉

          Salah

          1. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Didn't take you for the boring kind of elite, a bit disappointed 😀

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      We are going to be seriously outnumbered I think but I have Hazard too.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        That flag is so annoying

  9. joinho
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I've got 2 free transfers this week but no idea what to do with them...

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Had no idea at first, and then brought Firmino and KDB

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

      bank them like on the Weakest Link

    3. joinho
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      My team as it stands:

      Ederson (Fabianski)
      Cédric, Robertson, Doherty (Chilwell) (Schindler)
      Hazard, Fraser, Mané, Mkhitaryan (Stephens)
      Jiménez, Lacazette, Agüero

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

        Get rid of Mkhi.

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Get rid of Stephens.

  10. Pieterke30
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Start
    A. Pereira (WHU)
    B. Richarlison (mnu)
    ??

    Cant decide

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      A

    3. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Gone with B due to ownership.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Makes sense.

  11. Woy_is_back

    Ready to go?

      Yes

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks 🙂
        Doherty or Richa is a difficult decision though

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

          Same dilemma

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not an issue anyway as TAA probably won't start

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

    Start rich or Doherty?

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

      Both

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

        Cant

  14. damiang2233

    Wildcard Team! Thoughts?

    Fabinskni Ryan
    Bellerin, Robertson, Mendy, Duffy, Bennett
    D.Silva, Madison, Salah, Pereyra, Camarasa,
    Wilson, Arnautovic, Agureo

    Thanks

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

      Why fabianski and ryan? Both have nice fixtures ahead. Just choose one and avoid benching problems

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

        If you want duffy the go with fabianski

        1. damiang2233
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Cause as you say they both have nice fixtures and are cheap enough! Worth it i think.

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

            Then go for it. I’d invest that 0.5 somewhere else.

            1. damiang2233
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              There are no 4m GK that play each week so pointless getting one in!

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

                One plays all the time and one sits on the bench. Simple...

              2. firstade
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                Do what you want. But you’ll have some points looking at you from the bench gw12-gw15. Just trying to help.

                1. damiang2233
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  Still prefer to have points on the bench then no points at all. You will have weeks that some of your bigger players dont play e.g city players as pep rotates.

    2. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
      • 10 Years

      Needs Chelsea

      1. damiang2233
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes agree need hazard but went with salah instead. If salah not banging them in can change to Hazard.

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

    My view on TAA is that he was given a break after really struggling and looking tired against Napoli, he definitely had terrible game. I doubt his being dropped had so much to do with Gomez being "defensively more solid" in some general sense, which people seem to assume as received wisdom; after all, Trent is much more comfortable as a full back overall, and Gomez certainly showed poor positioning against Huddersfield, often moving too central. In any case, Trent looked fine against Red Star which surely puts him back in contention for a place in the starting 11, whether it's Cardiff at home or Arsenal away. Furthermore, Gomez looked much more comfortable when back in the centre back position.

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

      Klopp is overcomplicating things. TAA - Gomez - VVD - Robbo, that's it.

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

      um i think gomez played like a 3rd cb because of klopps tactics, not because he didnt want to go forward

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

        I didn't mean he should have gone forward more, just thought he was overly drawn towards the ball when it was in central areas and when Lovren or VVD were there to cover anyway, leaving an unnecessary gap. You could be right that it was a tactical move, but I doubt it.

  16. doublyG
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I have 2ft and Wilson already. Would you do Fraser to Ritchie or waste the transfer?

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

      wouldn't be dropping Fraser this week at all

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

      No - keep Fraser.

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks both. Sucks wasting a free transfer but it makes sense to hold

    4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What’s your full team?

  17. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which?

    A) gomez
    B) lovren

    1. Rsforstar
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A, nailed

  18. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Schmeichel
    Trippier TAA Alonso
    Mane Moura Son Hazard Pereyra
    Mitrovic Aguero

    Stekelenburg Cook AWB Kamara

    2.4m ITB.

    Anything worth a -4?

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

      Son or Moura to someone?... maybe Shaqiri?

  19. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah will blank. Bookmark this

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      see you back here at 5

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No need. You have done already and will rub it in everyone's face in the likely case in which he does

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bookmark it yourself.

    4. how now brown cow

      These are some of the most pointless andnirritating posts.

    5. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Doubtful

    6. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years

      LOL

  20. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Got 2FT this week, not real concerns. Should i used 2FT to bring in Arnie?

    1. Richarlison+Jimenez > Kenedy+Arnie (exact money)
    2. Richarlison+Mitrovic > 6.6m MID+Arnie

  21. CAPTAIN CRESPO
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is it worth doing Walcott to Pereyra or save FT?

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

      I think its a nice differential punt.

  22. MDainty97
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Alright everyone,
    Any chance of some last minute advice on this team?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robbo, Holebas,
    Mane, Hazard, Richarlison, Maddison
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Jimenez

    Fabianski, Mendy, AWB, Traore

    D) Richarlison
    E) Maddison

      B and D

    2. WijnaldumLeviosa
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      (Playing Ryan instead of Patricio already)

  24. UKG
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    2FT, Richarlison to Mane, Kane to Laca (want Auba) leaves 0.0 ITB.

    Good moves?

    1. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Indeed

      Took a hit to bring Robbo and got rid of TAA

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aparently it's supposed to be the same lineup as what played in Europe which doesn't make sense to me tbh...

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Suppose there's a full week to recover.

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Hmmm but then rest Lovren again?

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

        Who said that?

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

            Thanks. That's usually been reliable right?

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Last season 100% accuracy when they were leaking the team news.
              Now they've stopped leaking they do posts as the one above so I have no reason to not trust them just can't get my head around resting Lovren again...

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

                AE said likely to play same side

                so they dunno the line up

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

                Same. Had my eye on Lovren to double up with VVD. Price means he's worth the risk and it would've helped fund another move. Have my WC too if it doesn't work out. Maybe Gomez is the one I should consider given he can play both CB and RB.

  29. fatherted

    Wc team...seems ok ish

    Allison Foster
    Robertson Mendy Luiz Dunk Wan-B

    Hazard Siggy Madison Perreya Murphy

  30. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Agree, Scout 'Team News' has Hazard starting but he's not in Scout Picks.

    Does Team News ever bench the top players unless they are definitely out?
