    Play one:
    A Obiang
    B Doherty
    C AWB

    Currently on A,b,c Obiang might score 3 points, Doherty one, Awb one
    Right?

    People pouncing on zaha after fixture shift? Burnley to start with

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, I’m happy with triple A upfront

      1. adam28193
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Expensive

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

    How Nailed is brooks?,

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'd say very, looks to be ahead of Stan once King returns

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I still feel if all fit then Stan is sub but as we get to mid week game in early December then the Christmas run - who knows

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

      Fairly nailed, definitely earned his spot.

  5. skypopo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Begovic
    Alonso Mendy Vandijk
    Fraser Hazard Mane Maddison
    Wilson Kun Arnie

    Patricio Richarlison Bennett WB

    With the injury of Maddison
    Should I go for pereyra to double up West Ham or Pereyra?

    Thanks

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry I don’t understand the question

      1. skypopo
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        i mean anderson to double up WestHam or Pereyra, sorry for the confusion

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

      Pereyra

  6. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    F.Anderson up 0.1 to 6.9, glad I got him in yesterday!!

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

      Talk in 2-3 weeks....

  7. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Deeney to return to squad but not sure if he ll start and how many mins he ll play, Pritchard attacking mid for a defensive side vs a medium defence and Ndidi defensive mid who takes shots vs a bad defence atm. Who would you start?

    a) Deeney (sou)
    b) Pritchard (WHU)
    c) Ndidi (BUR)

  8. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I feel sorry for Welbeck - any prospective move to Place is out of the window.

    1. Net Gains
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      True but on the other hand surely he just became a prime West Ham target

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

        Written all over him for years. Heskey 2.

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

        Possibly, but not until 2019-20

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

    Starting to consider Morata again...what a steal if he keeps a bit of form...

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I said pre season he’s a good price will have to keep it up for a while to be a true contender tho

  10. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wan Bissaka to Femenia?

    Both seem to have a similar run of fixtures. Is Femenia nailed on now?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Should be until janmaat returns. Competition from Navarro but kiko suits the system better

      1. waitinginthelonggrass
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Welcome

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

      I would keep him seems a bit of a waste of a transfer

  11. FC Barkerlona
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Worth transferring Maddison out for anyone this GW or wait till after the int break? 1 FT and 0.5m ITB:

    GKP: Fabianski (Ryan)
    DEF: Pereira, Duffy, Alonso (Doherty) (Wan-Bissaka)
    MID: Kenedy, Hazard (V), Fraser, Salah (C) (Maddison)
    FWD: Wilson, Agüero, Vardy

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

      Nah you've got great cover. Wait and assess.

  12. Powerplay
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    hazard seems very underdone and not moving well...given Liverpool's run over the next five weeks is Mane a sensible trade?...i have salah

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

      In what way?

      1. Powerplay
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        i'm not convinced he is 100% fit...just looks sore

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

          Yeah if you reckon then lose him.

          If he's not feeling great he might still be eased in...but he played a fair bit mid week.

          Mané and Salah double up this week is pretty logical, but not sure...

          1. Powerplay
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            cheers..

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Keep hazard imo

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

      Yh mane will be gold vs fulham. Likely to score a brace or hatty

      Hazard would probably get returns but can't see Chelsea walking over everton

      1. Powerplay
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        that's my thinking too but gee its hard to drop Hazard

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

          Fortune favors the brave . I wouldn't recommend making the move but for this get mane clearly better player to own (hazard slightly regaining match fitness)

          1. Powerplay
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            cheers

  13. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Mendy
    Hazard Salah Fraser Richarlison
    Aguero Arnie Wilson

    Hamer Obiang AWB Tomkins

    1 FT, 0.8 ITB

    What to do here please??

    GTG??

    Thanks

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

      Save, all good

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Save definitely

  14. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    King and Gylfi out for;

    A) Arni & Fraser
    or
    B) Wilson and Richarlison
    or
    C) ? & ? (13.8M)

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Can’t just get Arne? I’d keep siggy

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Looking ahead following gw
    How does that look ?

    Salah Kenedy vady out

    Mane sterling Jimenez in

    For -4

    Thanks 🙂

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

      Looks ok-ish now... who knows how that would look after the weekend though

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Very true thanks 🙂

        Could also do

        Vardy Kenedy out
        Jimenez pogba in

        And keep Salah

        Will see 🙂

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

        Not convinced. Jimenez and Mane both have a lot less scoring potential.

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

      Don't suppose you've got enough to just get Mané without losing Salah?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        No I wouldn't have both though

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

          Not just for this week?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            See what you mean,this transfer is for next gw 🙂

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't

    4. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Salah better than Mane
      Vardy better than Jimi

      Sterling better than Kenedy (but not going to make up the points lost from the tranfer and above)

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        When you look that way ...

        Thanks 🙂

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all 🙂

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

      no

  16. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    You know your team is balanced when you have 5 red players and 5 blue players in your starting xi 😉

    1. Who Am I?
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      the dream..

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

        3 red players and 3 blue players hv stars too. (Arranged them in X pattern)

        Find these kind of stuffs oddly satisfying

        1. Who Am I?
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          i want a screenshot of this beauty! :p

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      🙂

  17. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    No idea what to do here

    Hennessey 4.0
    RAM, AWB, Bennet
    Sterling, Hazard, Richarlison, Fraser, Hojbjerg
    Kun Arnautovic Mitrovic

    0.6 ITB, 1FT

    No Liverpool attack

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hennessey out imo

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

      It depends what you want to do with Mitro. Moving him on makes sense. If you want a like for like then you can do it this week. If you want a downgrade/upgrade then do it next week as a double switch.

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

      Jeez where to start

  18. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Roll FT and play Hojbjerg or ditch Maddy now?

    Ederson
    Robertson Alonso Mendy
    Maddison* Hazard Mane(C) Richalison
    Wilson Aguero Jimenez

    Boruc Hojbjerg Doherty AWB

  19. Where dahoud at

    Hows this look? Gtg

    Patricio
    Laporte, luiz, robertson
    Salah, mane(vc), hazard(c) Gudmundsson
    Success, Arnautovic, Aubameyang

    Bench, hamer, stephens, awb, bennett

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gudmundsson hey nice one never see him mentioned here but he s doing well. I d get rid of success asap though also you please want some city attack cover next gw. This week though looks good !

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Iv had Gudmundsson in now a few weeks i also thank hes playing really good, happy with him, yea thank your right guna take success out, next week il get rid of mane and get in a city attacker

  20. Demel

    G2G?

    Ryan
    Mendy - Robertson - Alonso
    Hazard - Brooks - Salah c - Fraser - Murphy
    Arnie - Aguero

    Button - Jimenez- Doherty- AWB

    (Fraser/Salah > Sterling/Mane Next week)

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

      Looks good to go. What do you think I should do above?

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

        Thanks. Answered above.

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

      Looks really good. I’m also looking at the mane and sterling move next week

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I cant afford it.

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

          I have in effect switched Fraser to Brooks to fund it (A little risky).

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

        Thanks. I think the trade makes sense even though I will be worried watching Salah each week!

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Great team.
      All the best

  21. wanaj84

    2. Holmes

      desperate times...

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

        Calls for desperate measures. I'd go Fraser

  22. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best max 5.6mil mid? On Brooks at the moment

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

      Prefer deulofeu

  23. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Well playing RAM, saving FT and Salah captain.

    Booooorrrrring. No Friday tinkering and worrying excitement!!

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

      All hail template. Think Diangana is only player in my starting xi below 15% ownership

  24. niloh1
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which mid to replace maddison?

    a) richarlison
    b) shaqiri
    c) anderson
    d) barkley

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

      A if you got Arnie. Else get C

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Sigh. I will never make a dent in this basket wasting culture.

  25. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on what to do here. Got 2ft but zero in the bank so not many options I’m liking to replace Maddison

    Ryan button
    Alonso robbo taa Bennett awb
    Salah hazard richarlison Maddison Fraser
    Arnie aguero Jimenez

    Thinking Maddison to 4.5mid this week and then can do salah and Fraser to sterling and mane for free next? Might even do taa to Doherty for a hit as well next week. Does that sound a good plan? Or do you have any suggestions? (Still not sure on losing salah!!)

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Richa injured too

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, will keep an eye on this

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah good plan

      Diangana is the best 4.5 mid imo

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, him or camarasa are best options I think

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

      I like it (as we share the same plan).

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! Losing salah is about scary but love the idea of having mane sterling hazard and Aguero

  26. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A 4.9 striker that will play? Currently thanking shane long, cant see no one else,

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Success is your best bet. Might be dropped for deeney but deserves to keep starting imo

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

        1. Get up ya bum

          Very welcome

  27. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How would Mitrovic + Salah + Fraser to Success + Mane + Sterling(-4) look?

    GTG or Maddison out for a hit?

    Ryan
    Mendy/Alonso/Balbuena/Doherty
    Salah(c)/Hazard/Richar
    Kun/Arnie/Wilson

    Hart/Hojberg/WB/Maddison

    If I keep Maddy now, thinking about doing Wilson Maddy to Jimenez Martial next week. Could be also Hart Maddy to Button Martial.

      This isn't the week to bring in Martial for a hit so it makes sense to wait.

        That’s right but I still think I will.

        My plan was to have 0.6 itb during intl break and get rid of Maddison after his 12-point haul vs Burnley to bring in Martial for Utd great run of fixtures.

        Now Madders injured. Coming from my bench for him would be Success who might not start, AWB who faces Spurs, or Hojbjerg. Meh. Both would even come into my team if Rich is actually injured. The three of them if Robbo gets benched (yes, I think it’s possible).

        If I get rid of Madders for someone else than martial this week, it changes my plans and Im reluctant. I want Martial.

        Making sense here or not? Thanks for sharing your opinion.

          It makes some sense. But I still would be reluctant. Us he going to make up the 4 points away at City possible. But not likely. You also get 2 FT during international break to sure up the plans.

          The main advantage you have doing it this week is to have an 'extra transfer next week to use if something comes up in the IB.

            Oh no mate. Already have to use my only FT to get Arnie for Mitro.

            I wont have 2 FT during intl break anyway

      Not need to take a player out for a hit if you intend to bench them anyway ?
