    Are Man City fixtures tougher than we think?

    MU (h) WH (a) BOU (h) WAT (a) CHE (a)

    MU and CHE are red, WH and WAT are capable of keeping it tight, and BOU are on form.

    I'm tempted to go with just Mendy from City and change my plan of getting KDB to Mane instead.

    Thoughts on this?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I agree that City fixtures aren't that great. I currently have Aguero and plan to keep him. But I don't think I will bring Mendy that easily.

    2. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      KDB hasn't proven to be a viable asset yet. Not sure why so many are wanting to get him in already.

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Because he's KDB, you don't have to wait and see to know he'll do well lol.

        1. noahzark22
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It's a waste

    3. Blue Moon Rising
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      With KDB back we're fixture proof.

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero & Mendy for me. They’re good enough for these two get points imo.

    5. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Man City tough fixtures? There the best team in the land

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        They’re**

    6. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Except for Che City can very easily score at both ends in next 4..

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

      Don't use the FPL ticker for City

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

      I'm tempted to do KDB & Success in for Knockaert & Vardy (just for extra city coverage for SOT (h) - will also leave me with money ITB to upgrade elsewhere.

      Then Mane in for KDB once City fixtures turn.

      That's all KDB does for those fixtures is make City difficult to beat imo - doesn't necessarily mean City will score a hatfull.

    9. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That's 1 tough(ish) match out of 5, nothing to keep you from investing in the best player in the league.

  2. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Kamara’s 1 point also looks precious this gameweek.

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      lmao

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He's my 3rd sub haha and matching Mitro xD

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He’s my 3rd sub too and I’m getting him off the bench :p

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Same!
          Walcott,AWB,Kamara in for Hazard,Arnie, Robertson lol

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He was lucky not to be sent off too 😮

    4. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He was lucky to stay on the pitch too - should've been -1 at least 😀

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Haha well than I’m lucky because I’m getting him off the bench.

    5. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      True it seems precious, hoping for 1 point cameo from Westwood..

  3. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Went against my gut feeling and did Sterling to Salah (c) instead of Hazard. Obviously captain success but now I have AWB coming in for Hazard. Oh dear

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You still made the right move.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      would be nice another AWB 3 BAPS and CS 😉

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        That would be a thing of beauty on this cold Sunday

    3. Blue Moon Rising
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same as everyone. V.unlikely to lose ground.

      1. mysteryDave
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'd prefer a lacazette hatty

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Don't worry. Sterling will blank. He may even be benched again.

  4. Chi not God
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    hazard....

  5. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I welcome billing with his 1 point, urghh FPL

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hit a hell of a shot from 35 yards though

  6. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Me...

    Robbo Haz and Arnie >>> Bennett Stephens and AWB.

    Great hahaha, damn it...

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I feel for you bro

    2. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      At least you had 3 playing subs. AwB might still do you proud.

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

      Better than my Gunnarson, AWB, Bednarek

    4. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Me...

      Robbo Haz and Arnie >>> AWB, Tripp, Westwood (hopefully)..

    5. Udo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Me Robbo, Arnie to Trippier, AWB.

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ricardo Pereira - stick or twist?

    Looking at a Brighton defender or Digne (who would rotate for the short term with Kenedy). Any money saved welcome of course.

    1. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      With Amartey out injured now, he looks likely to start next game. Good fixtures too. Any leicster fans know better?

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Keep, LC's RB got injured yesterday

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The Amarty injury convinced me to keep him for 1 more, monitor for sure

  8. navin
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Both my captain (hazard) and vice captain (robertson) not playing.

    So who will be the captain point awarded to?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Tokyo Locomotive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If both captain and vice captain don't play, no one receives double points.

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

      I don't understand how someone can play this game for 8 years and not know this

    4. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody. What a bummer

  9. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Haha Yedlin off the bench for me

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Wait, where can I watch Chelsea Burnley?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Turf Moor.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

        Damn 😆

      2. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years

        Do wonder why I bother throwing all my money away on sky sports and BT

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Weird that United/Eve wasn't on Sat morning with the two Europa teams on TV today.

          Reddit soccer streams!

  11. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How's this for luck. Haz captain. Arnie vice captain. Ouch

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't say captaining a flagged player has anything to do with luck.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        tbf, Arnie out was unlucky

      2. Mic
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        How did your week go rainer

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

        Arnie's was a last minute shocker. A bit unlucky IMO.

      4. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        True. Own stupidity

    2. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sure there were better options than Arnie?.. (on paper)

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        There were. I'm chasing

  12. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So Amartey went on and played a full 90 mins after that horrible tackle from Noble? I didn't watch the game but was following chat on here and it sounded like he'd have to be stretchered off. Built of strong stuff.

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Apart from when his ankle snapped

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

        I'm lost then. He played on right?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      that was Ndidi

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

        Then I got my wires well and truly crossed.

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

        Ndidi played 90 too...

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm there now. Amartey injury in overtime separate incident to Noble foul. Ignore me.

  13. NABIL - FPL otai

    How many minutes til kick off, guys?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      1. Epic Fail

  15. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years

    Imagine if AWB ends up with -2 like earlier

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lovely

  16. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard (c) and Robertson (vc) turned out well.

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

      Ouch.

  17. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    So many jammy bench and vice captain points this week... spewing

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

      Casuals win again ...

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If it’s any consolation, I have Bennett, Billing and awb coming in...

    3. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bench hauls are jammy sure but how can a 9.7m top 6 VC is jammy?..

    4. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lol no need to be bitter mate, the sun is shinning and it is Sunday so chill. Isn't that why you have bench players and a VC for these occasions?

  18. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Quite happy that Hazard is benched as an owner. Most people have him and have rubbish/no sub coming in. I get my Isaas Success pointe from yesterday at least

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He isn't benched.

      1. Mic
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Groan

      2. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry, left out is what I meant. Statement still applies

  19. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Balbuena you beauty. Get off my bench and on to the pitch. You've just made the starting eleven.

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Cue 2 minute hazard cameo

      1. noahzark22
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        oh wait, he's not even on the bench. Safe

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not in squad

      3. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He not even on the bench, so that won't happen.

      4. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not in squad..

      5. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Somehow I doubt it....

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

      No more no shows though please.

  20. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard not in the squad, how is this possible 🙁
    I always assumed Willian and Pedro were like anti versions of each other and cause an explosion if they're both on the pitch at the same time

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Good chance of a lot of Hazard & Robbo sales during the week - good for owners long term when they get back in the points

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

      really annoyed conte didnt rule hazard out.

      wouldve definetly swapped for mane if it was the case

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

        That's it, blame Conte for everything.

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

        sarri u mean

      3. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure why Conte would do that when he is no longer their manager.

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

        Conte prob wont rule him out for next GW either.

      5. Shah G
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        May be he thinks 'Che manager' is called 'Conte'..

      6. CL4PTRAP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hahaha Conte taking Hazard non performance blame again.

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

        I wouldn't have tbh as too much value tied up

    I've 1FT and struggling to prioritise whom to change?

    A: Knockaert
    B: Trippier
    C: Shaw
    D: wait and see

    Not a great week to have Robertson, Hazard, Arnautovic and Holebas

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Or King, down to 9 with Peltier on my bench

  24. HurriKane

    Anyone else yet to get any returns from an attacker apart from Salah?

    Was not expecting 4 blanks from these; guys below

    Maddison (WHU), Mitro (BOU), Hazard (bur), Arnie (lei).

    Well All hopes on Richarlison(mu) and Kun(tot) now where points are unlikely

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years

      Wilson

        Misread.

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

      Mane (c) and Fraser.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        These 2 for me too

      o/

      I only had two attacking returns last GW too (Salah goal and Mitro assist) 🙁

      It’s been an awful two GW’s.

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

        I also have the four players you’ve listed. I even punted in Firmino too this GW, yet another fail.

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

      Yep only Salah with more than 2 points...

    5. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly the same boat!
      Richarlison, Trippier and Alonso to play.
      Plus bennett and wan bissaka coming in for arnie and haza.

    Jumped 70000 this GW. Need a poor show from Arsenal!

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not happening

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not going to happen. 3/4-0 likely

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

      need AWB masterclass

      cleanie + assist would be nice

  26. Salah4Ever
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo hazar pereira no show, means AWB 3rd bench will come, i would be happy with a 0 point , my fear is he gets a red card , that would be to complete this sad scenario

  27. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    If only I had Balbuena first sub instead of flipping Hughes... Damn it.

  28. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So I just need like 30 points from Mendy and Alonso combined.

  29. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Full bench coming on this week

  30. MITRAKADABRA

    Why are people selling Arnautovic?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He didn't play.

      1. MITRAKADABRA
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Why? Injury?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Illness apparently. Probably back for the next game.

        2. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          He has got an illness apparently, not injury. No reason to sell imo.

        3. Udo
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Fibre, nothing serious.
