    Patrico to Ryan or keep.. I have doherty as my 3rd defender btw.

    1. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Seems a waste of a transfer to me, think wolves have a better defence than Brighton

    2. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wolves gonna start shipping in goals. Get in Ryan if u hve Bennett or Doherty already.

  2. dennis the menace
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hold Maddison for international break or transfer out? Billing, WanB and Bennett on the bench. 0.1 ITB, 1 FT. was hoping to hhave 2ft for the break.

    1. TerryVenables
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I did Maddison > Lamela but had 2 FTs. I’d probably get rid even if I had 1, you’re going to lose a lot of value.

      1. dennis the menace
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Lamela hold his spot if Erik and Alli in?

        1. COYS Down Under
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Doubtful, but you never know. 3rd spot is up for grabs.

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Nope. That’s a huge risk. Eriksen, Alli, Son all ahead imo. Moura v Lamela also

          1. TerryVenables
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            It’s just a one week punt for me, I think Lamela starts this week.

  3. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Any news about richarlison injury..?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for Silva’s presser.. all we know is that he hasn’t trained

  4. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    The FPL indicator made me wait for Anderson until tomorrow... oh well maybe its a sign not to SIGN him

    1. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn’t

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I don't want him this week but left enough in bank for him to rise 0.1

  5. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A) Maddison, Mendy to Martial, Bellerin -4

    Yay or Nay

    Alternatively

    B) Maddison to Kenedy or Ritchie FT

    1. Gruu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      what happen with Mendy?

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

    This has never happened before and is very weird!
    I logged in the check my team and the armband was on Ederson! I never captained Ederson, never even considered him!!
    Earlier in the week I had the armband saved on Mane.
    (Hazard VC didn't move)
    What the...?

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

      Illumintus confirm

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

        🙂

    2. dennis the menace
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      your missus is trying to stitch you up... either that or ederson 100% cleanie and 2 peno saves

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

        Haha, maybe, but doubt it as she wouldn't have a clue how to do it! It's just bizarre!

      2. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Remember when Gomes did that...

    3. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ederson peno save, 30 saves, 3 assists, clean sheet and max bonus points incoming

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

        As a MUN fan 30 saves would be encouraging 😉

  7. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who scores more points this GW?

    A) Anderson
    B) Shaqiri

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I don't think Wham will score much

    3. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Shaq for me

    4. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2 = 2

  8. JohnnyMagrinho
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone else thinking Firmino outscores Kun by at least 4 points this weekend?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If you’re contemplating that move for a hit don’t do it

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        *Femenia

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        i wouldnt, bobby hasnt been in goal scoring mood this season

      4. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I think Kun outscores Firmino by at least 4 points this weekend

        1. COYS Down Under
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. Aguero scores, Firmino doesn’t.

    • zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      thoughts on Josh Murphy from cardiff? looking for a barkley replacement 5.8 and below, will be benched most weeks after this in favour of doherty

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

        None from Cardiff

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

          will be benched for their away games, dont see better options below 5.8, only delofeu who has tough fixtures

      2. COYS Down Under
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Callum Paterson?

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

          yeah debating between him and murphy, the worry is that paterson gets pushed further back now that ward is fit

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

        Camarasa looks better value imo if you are going to bench most weeks!

    • smix
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard to Salah (c) for a hit or hold ?

      1. COYS Down Under
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Hold.

    • The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking of benching Maddison and keeping my free transfer for the International break. Anyone concur?

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Depends on your bench

      2. Gommy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, likely to be available again after IB and a reasonable run of fixtures still to come.

      3. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking the same but have to play one form Doherty, AWB or Stephen.

    • Nigawan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Foster - Patricio
      Laporte - TAA- Alonso - Bannet - AWB
      Maddison - Salah - Hazard - Fraser - Hjoberg
      Success - Laca - Aguero

      I took a -4 hit to for Laca and TAA ( selling vardy and trippier ). Now madisson is flagged. WHAT DO I DO??

      a) stick with this
      b) use WC
      c) - 8

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Who would you get for Maddison?

        Don't make early transfers

        1. Nigawan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          no idea. :S barkley ?

          1. noquarternt
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Wouldn't take the next hit if you aren't really keen on anyone!

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        TAA might not play, Success might be dropped for Deeney, Maddison out. Ouch.

      3. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        A for me...
        -8’s and above really suck! Especially on those average weeks
        (a score of 66 turns into a 58...and 54 turns into 46)
        You just gotta hope that Success gets one more start w/ Deeney Back
        *[although, not sure I fully understand the move to bring in TAA, when he is already more of a rotation risk than Gomez; plus he played badly & got subbed off early in the UCL match vs RedStar]

        1. Nigawan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          WC to this ?

          Foster - Patricio
          Robertson*- Alonso - Bennet - Laporte- AWB
          Richarlison*- Salah- Hazard- Romeo*- Fraser
          Arnautovic*-Aguero- Murray*

      4. Numbuster
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        play 4-3-3
        Laporte-TAA-Alonso-AWB
        Salah-Hazard-Fraser

        or 3-4-3 without AWB, include Hjoberg

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

        Why on earth would you sell Vardy and trippier this week?

    • The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Team
      Foster Patricio
      Mendy robbo Luiz petlier* awb
      Mane haz moura rich shurlle
      Kun Arnie wilson

      0.6 itb..2ft..

      A)Petier-dunk ???
      And save the other transfer during IB ?WC left though..

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

        Good transfer. Would consider Balbuena as well

    • Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy and sterling to dunk and salah -4?

      Fab
      Robbo mendy Alonso
      Hazard sterling siggy Fraser
      Aguero Wilson Arnie

      Pat Doherty kiko kayal

      1ft 0itb

      Will look at bringing sterling back before Bournemouth.

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

        Not hating it. I did Sterling Mitro to Salah Ings. Didn't want to risk going into this week with no Pool attack. Would be a rank killer if Salah hauls (like 2 weeks ago)

    • Goonermeister
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on Pogba as an option?

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

        Prefer Martial atm

      2. Emp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Decent option

    • alifzuhdi
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Only have 5.2 when selling Shaw. Please choose either these Liverpool's replacement :

      A. TAA
      B. Gomez
      C. Lovren

      Thanks

      1. _figu

        Gomez

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

      WC active

      Fabianski
      Bellerin VVD Dunk
      Brooks Salah Mane Hazard Diangana
      Arnautovic Aguero

      Any thoughts greatly appreciated

      1. Kepa's at the wheel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Planning 442 most weeks? Looks like you're counting on those budget midfielders remaining in favor, could be derailed pretty quickly

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

          4-3-3 most weeks

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

            Planning Salah + Brooks -> Sterling + Richarlison (-4) GW13

            1. Kepa's at the wheel
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Sounds good. Jimenez uninspiring third striker, but does have 3 decent fixtures in the next 5. I'd look for a way to bring Wilson in after gw 16

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Dropping those premium defenders will allow a better 4th mid

    • Gabriel Agbonlahor
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thank god i’m dont have Mitrovic & Maddison all season. Almost everyone in my mini league have either one or both so hits galore in my mini league.

      I’m thinking to drop Richarlison & Alonso for Salah & 3.9 fodder for (-4). Richarlison might not play & Alonso have tough fixture with spurs, wolves away & city for next 5GW.

      Patricio
      Mendy Robertson Doherty (AWB) (3.9)
      Salah Mane Hazard Fraser (Hojberg)
      Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

      Any thought?

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

        don't like it tbh. Need a better bench in Xmas fixtures

    • 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling -> Salah (C)

      For free, yes or no?
      Ta.

      1. Gabriel Agbonlahor
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Do it

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

        Yes

    • JAYPEE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Who to bench:

      1. Kayal (cardiff)
      2. Kiko Femenia (southampton)

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Kayal

    • Spokey
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Would you do Aguero and Maddison to Arnatovic and Sterling for free?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Something for next week, would prefer Kun this week

        1. Spokey
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Any good replacements for Maddison in that pricerange? I guess Anderson could be ok.

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

        I wouldn't this week.

    • Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Need a midfielder for 4.9m or less but that price range is barren land... 😮

      1. Spokey
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Kenedy or Murphy

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

        West Ham have some great fixtures and some key mids out, so younger players are getting a run. I'd look closely at Grady Diangana (£4.5).

      3. JAYPEE
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Kenedy from Newcastle or Diangana from West Ham

    • mitro
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison replacements...Diangana, Demarai Gray or Gudmunsson?

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

        Depends on your team but assuming you would be playing most weeks, Gudmunsson

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        richarlison

    • Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Do I need to use the 1FT and have I got this right??

      Pat
      Alonso / Robbo / Doherty / Balbuena
      Salah / Hazard / Fraser
      Aguero / Arnie / Success

      Hamer / Richo / AWB / Maddi

      1. Kepa's at the wheel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Gtg

    • Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Time to break up the holy Trinity at the back? Who would you drop first from RAM (gw 14 on)

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Mendy followed by Robertson followed by Alonso

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

        Not in a rush but looking into it. Quite happy with it still. Alonso is not going anywhere. Robbo probably would be the first one to make way for me. There are some decent budget options with good fixtures.

      3. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        make it TAM for a bit will the tend I reckon

    • Nigawan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      On wc now. So team Salah or Mane??

      a) Mendy , Mane , Lacazette
      b) Laporte, Salah, Arnatauvic

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

        Think I'd go both this week on WC and have a plan for Sterling. Arnie would be one of the first names in my team

      2. Spokey
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        A with Arnatovic and spread the founds

      3. Nigawan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        my current team is :

        where should I move my funds to if I choose A?

          Murray to Jiminez
          Balance unit to 5th midfielder

        2. Spokey
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure. Can upgrade Balbuena, Pereyra/Fraser and Ryan/Patricio to Doherty, Richarlison and Ederson.

      Still heard that Richardlison has not been training on one of the FPL youtube broadcast. Any sources to confirm that?

      Maddison replacement:

      a) Short-term 7m(ish) punt on Shaqiri or Felipe Anderson
      b) Raise some money by going Kenedy, Paterson or D Gray

      What do you think? Already have Richarlison and coverage of Wham/Bmouth.
