    Crazy to do this for a hit?
    Maddy+Foster to Siggy+Fabianski

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      just roll with foster

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Don't do the goalie transfer...

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

      Just Maddy to Richarlison

  2. Patch
    • 6 Years

    That's what you get for being cocky leaving Laca out of the match tonight! RIP Welly

    0.7 ITB
    1 maddison to martial (vs man c)
    2 maddison to fanderson than get martial next week

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

      Save and then do Maddison > Martial next week?

      Use your transfer elsewhere.

      1. Arsenal97
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        My bench is facing tough fixture this gw so i must get one to start for maddison

  4. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed
    0.1ITB, 1FT
    Foster
    Mendy Alonso Robbo Balbuena
    Salah(c) Hazard Maddison* Rich
    Aguero Arni

    Pat - Success Bennet Hojbjerg

    Leaves me with 6.8 for a Maddison replacement, Anderson the obvious option but triple west ham?

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

      The replacement you want is Martial.

      Free money for him. By doing one of RAM > someone cheaper.

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

      I am not sure Anderson is the obvious replacement. He seems a million pound too much for a player who lacks consistency. 2 West Ham attackers is a hit much for me.

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

        agree and it was only one game. however ive made the move based on the unreal fixtures and a sense that Hammers are turning a corner now

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

          seems to have a similar understanding with Arnie that Lanzini has

        2. Jayv807
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I did the same, worth a punt

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

    Who is spending the rest of their evening keeping a close eye on Maddisons price movement?!

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Took him and Mitro out right after the Fulham game.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's red flagged - will take a lot more movement for him to drop now.

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

      Yup. With you there. Can't decide whether to get Rich or Martial (can't afford the latter without hits anyway).

    4. Beard of Bees
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's on -43, v unlikely to drop tonight

  6. toystory2wasok
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A) maddison > gudmunson
    B) maddy > rich (have exact cash for this)
    C) maddy > barkley
    D) save FT, play ings (HUD)

    D kind of makes sense, but maddison has trolled me for so long.

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

    Maddison to Paterson or keep Maddison?

  8. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I don't like to bother you, but I could REALLY use some help now that Maddison's out.

    I have no money itb, 1 ft, and an intact WC. What should I do with

    Fab / Foster

    Alonso / Robbo / Doherty / Duffy / Balbuena

    Salah / Hazard / Richarlison / Maddison / Fraser

    Kun / Arnie / Success

    Can you please help me out?

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

      Been thinking about keeping my WC and just doing Maddie - Lamela.

      What do you think?

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

      Keep your wildcard. I would save it and do a double trade next week.

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

        I plan on keeping it indeed! What would you say about Maddie-Lamela?

        Thanks!

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

      Save transfer and play 4 4 2, Duffy ang Balbuena have good fixtures and always a chance of a goal with them

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

        Many thanks to the both of yous for being the voice of reason

  9. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Will Auba start at the weekend?

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Will Welbeck's injury impact Aubameyang?

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Is it contagious? 🙂

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do here appreciated as always chaps. 2FT, 0.2 ITB

    Fabianski Hamer
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard DSilva Fraser Billing
    Aguero Arnautovic Quaner

    Also, think Silva starts??

  12. Volley127
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Looking at Doherty's stats.. thinking of moving Fraser to Dohery and 4-4-2 after this week. Anyone else considering something similar?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Could work out. I have both (been playing 442) and happy with both just now.

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

      Already there.

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, with Jonny

    4. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Actually meant switch to 4-3-3 but same argument

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I do think 442 is superior to 433

        1. Volley127
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          May well be! Hard to look past Aguero, Arnie and Wilson on current form though at least. Of course can easily change, especially with Wilson's fixture change.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You've concisely summed the current landscape up

  13. balint84
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    recommended Leicester midfielder?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      do you need one? demarai gray may be worth a punt, idk

  14. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Start:

    A Shaqiri
    B Felipe Anderson
    C Martial
    D Richarlison/Siggy
    E Barkley

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A if for this gw only. Otherwise Rich or Martial.

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

      B

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

      You couldn't not start Anderson vs Hud.

  15. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    .1 off a straight Maddison to Mane swap.

    So,

    a) Success to Kamara

    or

    b) Hojbjerg to Hudson Odoi

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A? Can’t downgrade a keeper?

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      neither are very appealing. any way you could get a playing fodder in?

      A if I had to choose

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Patricio | Hamer
      Alonso | Mendy | Robertson | Jonny | AWB
      Sterling | Hazard | MANE/Maddison | Richarlison | Hojbjerg
      Aguero | Wilson | Success

  16. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How do these moves look over he next 2?
    Now: Maddison, Trip > Anderson, VVD
    Next GW: Murray > Arnie

    Overall -4. Giving:

    Hart/Particio
    Mendy, Alonso, Robbo, VVD
    Mane, Hazard, Richarlison, Anderson
    Arnie, Aguero
    Bench: Jiminez, WBis, Billing

    Bit of a bench headache, but good for Xmas period.

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

      Don't want Martial?

      Fixtures are good after City game.

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

      I would just sell Maddison.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Seems like a wasted opportunity not to get a 3rd Liverpool player in at this juncture. Sadly Shaqiri isn’t nailed.

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

          Double Liv defence though?Also Trippier has a nc fixture.

  17. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anything worth a hit chaps? 0.1 ITB

    Hennessey
    Laporte, Mendy, Robertson, Alonso
    Salah, Hazard, Barkley
    Aguero, Arnautovic, Wilson

    (Patricio, Hojbjerg, AWB, Masuaku)

    Cheers

    1. FleckyT
      • 6 Years

      g2g imo

    2. wulfrunian

      Good to go.

  18. FleckyT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts? 0.5itb 2ft

    Pat / Hart
    Mendy / Alonso / Robo / Doherty / AWB
    Salah / Hazard / *Maddi* / Fraser / Guendouzi
    Aguero / Wilson / Ings

    My thoughts:
    A) Maddi / Ings > Diangana / Arni
    B) Maddi > Rich
    C) Maddi > Anderson
    D) Other ideas?

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

      B for me.

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A for me. Can look at 4-3-3 in future weeks too.

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

        Doherty's key passes and shots make it viable

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      C 100%

    4. balint84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      if no Arnautovic, then C

    Who replaces Maddison (7.5 max)?
    1 - Lamela
    2 - Martial
    3 - Richarlison
    4 - Willian (or Barkley?)
    5 - Other suggestions welcome

    fwiw, other mids: Salah, Haz, Fraser, Gunnarsson

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not sure any of them are going to start

  24. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison injury breaks the template a bit at least... unless you all get the same replacement 😆

  25. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison, Mitro > Martial, Jimenez -4?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I feel like this is the sensible move I should make.

      Instead I really feel like taking a risk on Shaqiri. :/

  26. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A. Salah Mendy Robbo 6.9 (currently maddison)

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      A. Try and get Martial in for the 6.9m slot.

    5. Top Lad Dakes.

      altho A is template

  27. Ould Onion Bagger

      Yeah but rest of team strong

  29. skihouse78
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Advice appreciated:

    Pat/Button
    Alonso/Robbo/Mendy/Fernandez/AWB
    Salah/Haz/Rich/Madd/Kenedy
    Aguero/Wilson/Success

    Thinking Maddy to Diangana & Success to Arnie for a -4?
    WC already played
    Have 14 starters + Diangana as a punt

    Thoughts? Does this weaken the midfield too much?
    Cheers!

    1. skihouse78
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry 13 starters (forgot about button!)

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

      Maddy is injured so it can't weaken it.

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

    Was considering bringing Sterling in alongside Aguero, but would always tend to favour Aguero for captaincy so I don't think there's much point.

    Anyone else in a similar position?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Don't you like points?

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

        My recent form would suggest no to be honest.
