    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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. noahzark22
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          It's a waste

    3. Blue Moon Rising
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      With KDB back we're fixture proof.

    4. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        They’re**

    6. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    7. Mysterion
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don't use the FPL ticker for City

    8. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

  2. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kamara’s 1 point also looks precious this gameweek.

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      lmao

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He was lucky not to be sent off too 😮

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

  3. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You still made the right move.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      would be nice another AWB 3 BAPS and CS 😉

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That would be a thing of beauty on this cold Sunday

    3. Blue Moon Rising
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same as everyone. V.unlikely to lose ground.

      1. mysteryDave
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'd prefer a lacazette hatty

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

  4. Chi not God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    hazard....

  5. Bees4Lyf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I welcome billing with his 1 point, urghh FPL

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hit a hell of a shot from 35 yards though

  6. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Me...

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

    Great hahaha, damn it...

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I feel for you bro

    2. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Better than my Gunnarson, AWB, Bednarek

    4. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Me...

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

    5. Udo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Me Robbo, Arnie to Trippier, AWB.

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Keep, LC's RB got injured yesterday

    3. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

  8. navin
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

    So who will be the captain point awarded to?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard

    2. Tokyo Locomotive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Jarnathan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody. What a bummer

  9. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Haha Yedlin off the bench for me

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years

    Wait, where can I watch Chelsea Burnley?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Turf Moor.

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

        Damn 😆

      2. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

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

          Reddit soccer streams!

            Yep. And if your net isn't good enough put your hotspot on it rubs HD streams perfectly

              Are mods supposed to be seeking out illegal streams?

        I'm waiting for the movie.

  11. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        tbf, Arnie out was unlucky

      2. Mic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How did your week go rainer

      3. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

      4. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        True. Own stupidity

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        There were. I'm chasing

  12. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Apart from when his ankle snapped

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm lost then. He played on right?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      that was Ndidi

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Then I got my wires well and truly crossed.

      2. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ndidi played 90 too...

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years

    How many minutes til kick off, guys?

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

      John Terry's number

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        69?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years

          Wow 😆

        2. Rash

    This could have been a great week. Now I have a Knockaert 0pt autosub

  15. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine if AWB ends up with -2 like earlier

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely

  16. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch.

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Casuals win again ...

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

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

    3. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He isn't benched.

      1. Mic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Groan

      2. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

  19. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cue 2 minute hazard cameo

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not in squad

      3. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

      4. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not in squad..

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

        Somehow I doubt it....

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No more no shows though please.

  20. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      really annoyed conte didnt rule hazard out.

      wouldve definetly swapped for mane if it was the case

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

        That's it, blame Conte for everything.

      2. tokara
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        sarri u mean

      3. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

      4. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Conte prob wont rule him out for next GW either.

      5. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

      6. CL4PTRAP
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha Conte taking Hazard non performance blame again.

      7. Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

  22. Udo

    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. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Or King, down to 9 with Peltier on my bench

  24. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    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

      Wilson

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years

        Misread.

    2. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mane (c) and Fraser.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month 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
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep only Salah with more than 2 points...

    5. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month 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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not happening

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not going to happen. 3/4-0 likely

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      need AWB masterclass

      cleanie + assist would be nice

  26. Salah4Ever
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month 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

    7 years, 1 month ago

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

  28. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

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

  29. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Full bench coming on this week

  30. MITRAKADABRA

    Why are people selling Arnautovic?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He didn't play.

      1. MITRAKADABRA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why? Injury?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Illness apparently. Probably back for the next game.

        2. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

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

          7 years, 1 month ago

          Fibre, nothing serious.
