    Lol at me. I stupidly forgot to check price rises and I got impatient and pulled the trigger on
    Martial, Laporte > Sané, Schindler

    Had cash itb so could’ve gained an extra bit of TV

    Oh well. Hopefully the bad luck doesn’t carry on into the weekend!

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      Sorry for an awful top post. Shocking

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      Booting out Martial and Laporte seems a bit much?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        We shall find out. Basically I wanted Sané to pair with Kun in City attack without losing Haz and Salah so this was my way in. Not ideal but hopefully will pay off eventually!

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I would have done Sané & Schindler - > Martial & Laporte 😆

      Hope it works out but I'd be nervous!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Lol. Knowing my luck the last couple of weeks it will backfire horribly.

        Tbh it was more about getting in a city mid without losing Haz or Salah rather than wanting Laporte or Martial out.

  2. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A. Hazard, dilva
    B. Salah, richarlison

    Both with sterling and a -4 but will downgrade gudmundsson to get Kane next week

      A imo

    Okay finally I have ruled out hazard > sterling. Up in the air in the Haz vs sane debate now tho

        How was she not annoying? Kept asking silly questions. Sarri was looking thoroughly confused!

      2. FPL Pillars

        at least the man doesn't type you as "u" - that's pathetic 😉

          Is quite impressive that a fish can type at all to be fair.

    Foster | Fraser, Boly, Kamara

    2 FT and 1.3 ITB

    A) Gudmundsson ---> Paterson (2FT next week for Haz+Kun > Sterling+Kane)
    B) Hazard ---> Sterling

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

    Best one week punt before WC?

    A) Zaha (BUR)

    B) Martial (sou)

    C) Felipe Anderson (new)

    D) Other (Who?)

    1. Monya Meow Meow
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I would punt on Zaha against that awful Burnley defence this week

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A or D- Morata

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

      Zaha, Willian, & (don't laugh) Mounie.

  9. Monya Meow Meow
    • 5 Years

    2 FT and only 0.7 ITB

    Pat
    Doherty Alonso Robbo AWB
    Salah Haz Rich
    Kun Arnie Wilson

    Foster Camarasa Balbuena Fraser

    I am planning to WC in the coming weeks so thinking of Salah to Sterling this week and maybe some other trade with the funds that I generated. Or is Sane a better choice? If I do Salah to Sane, Fraser can become Dilva.

    Thanks!

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

      Sané + Dilva might be better than Sterling + no good.

      1. Monya Meow Meow
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I reckon Sane & Dilva should play 2/3 of the next games.
        If I go Sterling, Fraser has to remain as I don't see any better options for 8 mil or less.

    2. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Think both will start 2 of next 3.

      1. Monya Meow Meow
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Is that in reference to both Dilva & Sane starting 2/3?
        Thanks.

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How am I finding it so hard to let go of Salah

    -No penalties
    -Not explosive (so far this season)
    -No bonus points
    -Will probably only captain once in the next 6/7 if I did keep

    It doesn't make any sense yet I'm struggling to do it. If only Hazard had anyone other than Fulham this week.

    1. Postman7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely don't ship Salah. He'll come good for sure. Underlying stats too good to suggest he'll stay in this middling form on-going

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      8, 15, 2, 8, 8 in last 5, you're not only my friend.
      I have a feeling that everytime i say "this is weekend im dropping salah", - he scores and i leave him for next week...and then there's that hope of "he's due a megahaul"

      And yes, im still gonna keep him, bc he's due a megahaul

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Because stats indicate he has a haul in him that you dont want to miss. Trust your gut

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

      GW17 is when I get rid of him:

      Man United (H)
      Wolves (A)
      Newcastle (H)
      Arsenal (H)
      Man City (A)

      He might tick along in those fixtures but can't seem him hauling except maybe Newcastle.

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

        actually...man city is only of those where i dont see him score

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

          That's why I said tick along.

          For 13 million I want hauls baby girl.

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

          I could see him scoring at City tbh. Liverpool seem to be a good match up for City and there'll be plenty of space for him to run into. Jose's parked bus might be a wee bit harder to breach tbh.

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

        Are you going to captain vs. Southampton?

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

          Sorry, Burnley

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

          Nah I'll be captaining Kane but I get your point.

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

      He's gone for me now but I feel you. But its hard to build effectively with him in my case - too many other must have's and pool are more defensive now.

  11. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Can’t look past aguero this week. He could just go mad this week so can’t miss out if he does

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Another blank and I'll show him mad.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years

        Ahahaha let’s hope not, would make kun to Kane difficult though!

  12. Postman7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What do you guys like better from GW 15 onwards:
    CURRENT team - Robbo & Aguero
    PROJECTED team - TAA & Kane
    I like the fixtures and security of starts over Christmas for Kane vs Aguero, but feel like the Robbo to TAA shift might be negating all of the benefit that offers... Thoughts?

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'll do Robbo, TAA and Kane

      1. Postman7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Need to drop Laporte to do that which would leave me with no Citeh players... Would you still do it?

  13. dunas_dog

    For this week pre wildcard on Friday night Hazard and Deulofeu to Sané and Willian? Yes or No

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Don't loose Hazard

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      Hazard v Fulham......

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

    I missed the Kun gw 2 haul. Been captain him every since (with the exception of 1 salah captaining). Im venturing out this week and going for Hazard. I expect an Aguero 5 goal haul and id would advise you to captain him.

    My front 8 causing me so much stress:

    Hazard* Mané Mahrez^ Richarlison’ Kenedy”
    Aguero Arnautovic* Jimenez

    *Flagged
    ^Not starting - but very easily could
    ‘Bad fixture this week
    “Spent too much on this fodder

    Want Sterling, but would mean losing Hazard (c) v Fulham.

    Want Kane, but it’s a week too early and need to keep funds for enabling.

    Mahrez came in before Saints after 3 starts in a row... was a coin toss over Dilva (big haul v consistency) - didn’t pay off and now stuck with him.

    Kennedy is holding on to £0.5m of extra cash as an overpriced 3rd sub.

    To summarise this was really just a rant and I’ve written too much to delete it. I will save transfer and have a mini wildcard to bring in Spurs assets next week!

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      I’ve got Mahrez too.....
      Don’t know what to do with him, but feel if I sell him this week il miss the points.

      Think il give him one last opportunity.

  19. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Kane or Auba for the fixture swing in gw 16? I can’t afford both? Will Ramsey become an option?

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

      Kane without doubt.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Kane and Ramsey or Auba and Alli/Eriksen/Son

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

          Kane and not Ramsey.

  20. SHOOTER MCGINN

    Best mid for under 5.8 next week?

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      McTominay as a fodder and use the funds to upgrade elsewhere.

    2. TLF

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Paterson, Brooks & Kenedy would be the short list, Camarasa at 4.5 if saving cash.

    Ederson Hamer

    Robertson Alonso Doherty WB (Balbuena)

    Salah Hazard Richarlison (Fraser Hoijberg)

    Aguero Arnautovic Jimenez

    2Fts. 1.4m in the bank. The debate all week has been Hazard or Salah out for Sterling but I might just leave it if I can't decide. Anything else worth doing?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Fraser to Brooks?

  23. Strchld

    Im anyway going to do Haz, Martial and Kun to Sane, Alli and Kane. Only question is:
    A) Do Haz to Sane right now for free.
    B) Play Haz this week and do the move next week.

      Bench looks fine. If Hazard doesn't play then Richarlison would be next best choice anyway.

    Ryan
    Alonso/Robertson/Laporte/AWB/Bennett
    Salah/Martial/Richarlison
    Aguero/Arnautovic

    Patricio/Fraser/Billing/Ings

    3.1m ITB

    Making the following changes over the next GW's but not sure what order. Any suggestions?

    Salah > Sterling
    Martial > Mane (possibly)
    Aguero > Kane
    Richarlison > Siggurdsson/Hazard

    I could do Salah > Sterling tonight for a hit but tempted to wait as not sure he will play

    Everyone seems calmer regarding Hazard...have I missed something since this morning?

      It's because everyone has sold him for Sterling 😉

    1 FT, o.7 ITB
    Mane -> sane? Y or N?

    Fab
    Alonso, TAA, yedlin, bennet. AWB
    Haz, dilva, rich, mane, hoybjerg
    Vardy, kun, arnie

      I'd stick. You have Dilva and the Merseyside Derby could bring goals on either side

    Feels bad benching Coleman and Fraser..
    Lineup is
    Fabi
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty- dunk
    Hazard - Sterling - Martial - Ricarlison
    Aguero - Arnie
    Hart - Coleman - Fraser- kamara

    "There's no point having Salah in your team if you're not gonna captain him"

    Is this the most flawed argument in FPL?

      Half of FFS were definitely captaining him every week of the season regardless pre-season, now they are selling him for a hit.

      No. You don't have to captain him all the time, but you do have to captain him enough so that he provides value to the team. It is very difficult for a player over £10m / £10.5m to provide value in the long run without them being captained every once in a while.

    Hennessey, AWB, Balbuena, Fabianski

    Thanks in advance
