    Is Maddison dropping later? I need time to assess my options. If he is dropping, I'll need to transfer him out now to not lose the 0.1m

    1. MASTER ROSHI

      -51.5 on fplstats so looks like he should hold out until tomorrow

      Nope

      crazy rises/drops happen from time to time. it could happen.

    Which looks better going into GW 12?

    A:
    Salah--Hazard--Fraser--Martial-Rich
    Aguero--Arnie-( Success)-
    Or
    B:
    Salah--Hazard-Martial-Rich-(Hoijbg)
    Aguero--Arnie--Jimenez
    ?

    (Included all the attack for better visualisation)

    1. wulfrunian

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Tough call, think just B

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        .... as Success might not as much game time as ‘Hoijbg’

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

      A

    4. Numbuster

      for longer runs.. B

  3. davies

    Which option lads?

    A) Doherty + Sterling + Camarasa + Wilson
    B) Doherty + Sterling + Richarlison + Kamara
    C) Doherty + Mahrez/Dilva + Richarlison + Wilson
    D) Bennett + Sterling + Martial + Kamara

    Patricio

    2. JoeJitzu +42

      Does getting Jiménez help in anyway?

      Bennett Sterling Richarlison Jiménez??

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

      C more balanced

    4. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A/B are both solid

  4. 420king
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mitrović is close to dropping tonight and will almost certainly drop again before the deadline, any reason to wait until tomorrow?

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

      I dont think he will drop tonight. Who you bringing in?

      1. rdpx
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        FFFIX has him down as dropping tonight

      2. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Figured Jimenez since he has a couple of nice fixtures coming up and gives me flexibility with extra cash in the bank.
        Who would you bring?

        1. rdpx
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I'm thinking arnie, but it has to be -4

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            this is hit season. don't let a -4 stop your from doing the right thing.

  5. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Just realised that Maddisson has been confirmed out. No FT, but have 1.5itb, what would you do out of these options?
    A. Jimenez autosub
    B. Richarlison/Siggy
    C. Martial
    D. Shaqiri (one week punt)

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

      C

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers he is tempting me!

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

      B or C.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        that is the question, equally good options imo but both have tough fixtures this week!

    3. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A or Rich. Surprised you don't have him yet

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I do want him but Martial is also very tempting in current form!

        1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          who are your other mids

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Ederson
            Trippier/Robbo/Alonso/Mendy(AWB)
            Hazard/Mane/Fraser/Maddy*(Camarasa)
            Aguero/Arnie(Jimenez)
            1.5itb

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

      Martial for -4 against city is insane

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Come to that conclusion, whichever comes in needs to get an attacking return just to break even (at City & Chelsea!). Hit prob doesn't make the best sense this GW, will just make the move next week. Cheers!

  6. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Pereyra as a Maddison replacement? Would look at Anderson/Martial but don't have the funds without a hit. Don't see anyone else in my team I'd want out on a hit though.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm exactly the same. Plus I think I'll want Maddy back after the IB.

      Need a free, one week, replacement....

  7. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which option would you go with:

    Fixed gk: Ederson/Hamer
    Fixed def: Rob/Alonso/Mendy/Doh/AWB
    Fixed mid: Hazard/Salah/Rich/4.5
    Fixed fwd: Arna/Ings(for now)

    Option 1)
    4-3-3
    Kun up top
    4th mid at 5.0 or less

    Option 2)
    4-4-2
    Sterling finishing overweight midfield
    Third stiker 5.3 or less

    1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      any love? i put some thought into this

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

      Very little in it. Probably A because a £5m midfielder is likely better value than a £5.3 forward

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        right, but it'd more than likely be a 4.3 fwd. use the 1.0 elsewhere

    3. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You could downgrade Doh to Balbuena and get Jimenez with B but... your attack would still be weak so maybe A

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Yedlin or Chillwell

    1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      yedlin for sure

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

    So, I'm using the free hit. Does this look ok?

    Ryan
    Robbo, Alonso, Trippier
    Salah(c), Mane, Hazard, Lamela
    Morata, Arnie, Wilson

    Bench: 4.0GK, Diangana, Kiko, Bennett

    1. rdpx
      • 12 Years

      Save it for a late season DGW

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

        Too late, I've already pulled the trigger.

        1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          can't you deactivate the FH chip anytime before the gw starts?

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

            No, there's no going back.

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

      Ozil over Lamela.VVD over Trippier.Downgrade Morata.

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

        Thanks. I'll have a think about bringing in Ozil instead of Morata.
        I've already got 3 Liverpool players, so VVD isn't an option.

    3. Dead Lift
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I really don't agree with your picks. You 've made a mistake, at least enjoy it. Choose some alternatives, not Alonso and Wilson.

    4. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy over Morata

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

        You might be right but I don't want Vardy in my team.

  10. Solly The Seagull
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Anderson or Martial for long term?

  11. Rotation City
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What odds do we put on Shaqiri starting?

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

      70%

  12. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    0.1 short of Maddison -> Martial. Only one FT. Play Obiang or Doherty?

  13. banskt

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bench two:

    a) Jiménez (ars)
    b) Balbuena (hud)

    Has anyone be able to decide between Jimenez & Wilson yet? 😆

    Fixtures or form, form or fixtures.

      • 12 Years

      Wilson fixtures scare me

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

        Yep. They're not great

    2. Ghost86
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Going for Jimenez the extra money let’s me upgrade Maguire to Mendy

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

        The extra funds are key perhaps

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

      I've had Wilson for ages, so I'm probably keeping until after Arsenal. Then looking at Jimenez.

  15. rdpx
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    A. Arnautovic & Dunk (or 4.5)
    B. Wilson & Duffy

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

      Arnautovic & Balbuena

  16. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of going Arnie for Wilson. Yes or no?

    Team: Begovic
    Laporte - Robbo - Chilwell - Doherty
    Mane - Hazard - Maddison - Siggy
    Wilson - Aguero

    Jimenez - Shaw - Knockheart

    1. rdpx

    2. Donblaster
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Wilson and do Maddison to Anderson?

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks guys. Anderson for Maddison was my second option but i just have a feeling Wilson's form will start dying down a bit and Maddo will be the opposite? Decent fixtures for him as well.

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

          Fair enough, but Maddison is out injured for at least this week. Good luck!

      Barkley against former team could do well

      1. Saka Punch

        Played full 90 tonight and Kovacic on bench, so pretty certain he wont start :/

    Not sure who to bench I think they might all get double figures...

    Mané
    Hazard

    Fraser
    Martial
    Aguero
    Wilson
    Lacazette

      Barkley

    3. Salah’s Sonnet

      Barkley though to your question buddy

  22. Taegugk Warrior

    How about w

  23. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Best low budget mid up to 5.3m anyone? To play in a 3-5-2.
    I understand it’s slim pickings.

    Was thinking maybe Brooks?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years

      Paterson

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      Patterson or Albrighton?Redmond?

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years

      Brooks but fixtures are tricky

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah was think Paterson actually. Brooks yeah he does have tough fixtures, may go for Paterson, thanks very much.

    Patricio Jiminez Doherty Wan-Bissaka

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Looks ok, Robertson will get more more points than Van Dijk though, downgrade one of gray/Brooks to enable it?

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        actually Van Dijk is the one who has been getting a lot of chances recently (at least in the games i watched)
        at the start of the season there wasnt much to choose between them and i'd say thats still the case - dont let a bit of variance persuade you that van dijk isnt a good option because he most certainly is

      Looks dece. Not sure on double WH defence. Also, is that Demarai Gray? I’d maybe downgrade to Camarasa or Diangana to upgrade elsewhere.
      VVD to Robbo?
      AWB to Chilwell?

    Getting rid of Barkley as he played full 90 in europa league, unfortunately have to lose Murray too. Which pair to bring in?

    A) Anderson & Ings (Doherty will start when the fixtures toughen up)
    B) Martial & Success (Doherty starter, AWB, Hoij on bench)

      Got pretty much identical dilema

        Personally considering A atm. Ings playing Fulham next week and can be a great rotator, Success likely to be dropped soon so might just end up being bench fodder. Anderson obviously great fixtures, though no denying Martial in great form

          Cheers mate, think I will go down that route, not too enamoured with Ings but I can just think of him as a bench option after the next couple of fixtures. Good point re Success, Deeney will be back soon too, maybe even this weekend.

            exactly. I think Jimenez slightly better than Ings, though I can't get him personally as have 3 Wolves already

    Stuck with this tean and no Idea what to do, some feedback is much appreciated

    Patricio
    Laporte Shaw Alonso
    Hazard Mané Mahrez Maddison
    Laca Firmino Mitro

    Subs: Mccarthy WB Bennett Hojberg

    A- Mitro and Maddison to Arnie and Felipe anderson (-4)
    B- Mitro to Arnie and play Hojberg
    C- Maddison to Martial and keep Mitro for the time being

    Does everyone else feel that they are perpetually 3-4 GWs away from the "perfect team".
    11 seasons in and its always like that.

      I'm a perfect GW away from a perfect team.

    20 min to price changes, so it is almost guaranteed that Anderson won't rise right?

    1. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it

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

        So you think he will rise?

    Just realised that I bought Maddy at 6.6, so a bit of breathing space at least!
    Might just play Jimenez rather than pulling the trigger for Martial/Rich(-4) this GW. Away at City and away at Chelsea look poor hits on paper!
    Will be toying with me until deadline though...
