      I’m dumping after tonight

    2. JM11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be tempted to hold, think he could come good.

    3. Tsparkes10

      Hold

      I seriously have no idea what to do with him....
      Did Emery say something about him?

  3. fridge
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Evenong all. Was thinking of wildcarding but my team is looking ok for this week

    Foster
    Doherty. Robbo. Alonso. Chilwell
    Sane. Fanderson. Fraser
    Kane. Jiminez. Auba

    Pat. AWB. Cairney. Gudmunson

    1FT, 2.4 ITB
    A) Gudmunson + Pat > Son + 4.0 (-4)
    B) Chilwell > Spurs def
    C) Chilwell > City def

    1. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not fancy Arsenal?
      Spurs from above

  4. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lacazette subbed at 60 mins today, scored a goal. Surely will play a part at the weekend. At worst he will come on at around 60. Not ideal but as an owner Im not dropping him yet.

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

      I have Aubameyang, if I was to own Lacazette I would definately good and be patient...

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

        *hold

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

      Glad I didn't rage him out, slightly more optimistic now.

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Keep for now, lots of games coming up so he will get game time. And it doesn't matter too much if he starts, as long as he gets like 20 mins or so he could get something. Arsenal have been very poor in the first halves, all their goals come in the 2nd half.

  5. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    May I get some help for that team:(1ft, 1.2itb)
    Fabianski
    Taa Trippier schindler
    Sterling(vc) sane fraser Fanderson
    Jimenez Kane (c) Auba

    Subs: awb, camarasa, digne

    Which one do you prefer?

    A) Siggy & Digne > Sterling & Kiko

    I have Kane and Sane already in my team. Thanks!

    Exiting question for ya gents...... play Hennessey(lei-home) Or Fabianski(Ful-away) this week?????

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Fabs

      BREXIT??

      Hen

    4. Metropolis

      Fab

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The chicken

    6. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I have the same dilemma. Leaning towards Hennessey for the home advantage and LEI has less then appealing offensive stats over the last four.

  8. Kno
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My fellow Kane less, who is your capitano?

    Switching between auba and raheem atm here

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

      Auba

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Auba

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Haz. Or Salah. Or Auba actually.

      Not an easy one this week

    4. JM11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Have Kane but still considering Haz as a differential pick, think he's due a big haul.

    5. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tough call this week. Opta (so far) says Sterling, but Hazard looks set to haul against BHA. Auba is playing SOU whom have conceded the second most amount of chances down the middle over the last four. Auba takes most of his goal attempts down the middle, which only enhances his appeal for captaincy.

      It may be Auba or Hazard for me as they have be given a mid-week rest. I'll still start Sterling and Sane and be happy with their returns.

  9. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison to son, yes or no?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Great move mate for next 5 imo

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No

      Rich is nailed, improving in the striker role, in a decent attacking team, has shown haulability and is cheaper.

      1. Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. Rich fixtures nowhere near Sons

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      no for me

      not that I don't like Son, but Richy for me is incredible value at 7m for effectively a striker. Will keep for foreseeable.

  10. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you rather have over next 2 or 3 gws in your xi:

    A) Dunk and any mid < 8.9 (would get rid of Rich and get back on wc)
    B) Rich and any defender (would probs bench Rich 2 gws)

    1. Plymouth
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A, son

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Is son nailed?

        1. Plymouth
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Hard to know. Got subbed of early at CL, should be good for this GW

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers. Dele Alli also an option im guessing? Have Kane btw and no city/chelsea so Mahrez/pedro are also tempting

            1. Plymouth
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Dele decent option. Stay away from Pedro, not nailed. Mahrez could be worth a go.

              1. Tsparkes10
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

    On WC, #Draft11, thoughts?

    Fab (Hamer)
    Luiz, Doherty, Kolas (Schindler, AWB)
    Son, Sterling, Hazard, Anderson (Stephens)
    Kane, Mitrovic, Chicharito

    ITB:1,5

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro on 4 yellows. Jimenez more long term/funds?

      Need Robertson... Probs over Luis.

      1. Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Good point. Will drop Mitro.

        Not keen on Raul. Agree about Robbo.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Guessing you have plans to bring liverpool back in? Looks good though 🙂

      1. Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yes mate

  12. JM11
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start?
    A.) AWB (LEI)
    B.) Balbuena (ful)

    Who to replace Dilva?
    C.) Bilva
    D.) F.Anderson

    Which GK to get?
    E.) Kepa
    F.) Lloris

    Currently on BCE. I want both Anderson and Bilva but can only fit one in, quite like the idea of going Bilva instead as most around here are going Anderson, plus Bilva has scored quite well when Dilva hasnt started.

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    1. Plymouth

      BDE

  13. F4L
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    if TAA is out for the Christmas period, would Lovren not be a good replacement?

    1. Plymouth
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sure, but fixtures are tough, and he offers little offensive potential

      1. Weak Become Heros

    Kane, Wilson*, Jimenez

    Button, AWB, Digne, Højbjerg

    Richarlison > Son
    Murphy > Snodgrass? (-4)

    1. Plymouth
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Only first.

  15. Drum8888
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If you had to pick one for the next 4 weeks:

    A) Felipe Anderson

    B) David Luiz

    1. Plymouth
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      Anderson

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      a

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Anderson for sure

    5. Drum8888
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      So consensus is Felipe's goal potential is safer than Chelsea's clean sheet potential?

    6. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      A easy.

  17. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Kane owner but leaning towards Sterling captain. Am I mad?
    I seem to remember the last time Spurs came back from a tough CL fixture against Barca they only beat Cardiff 1-0.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I have Kane, Sterling and Hazard and I'm very torn.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Slightly different Spurs team to that day.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Burnley just look so bad defensively this season, its a completely different kettle of fish

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kane goes into a Saturday with one start in the last 11 days - we’ve rarely had a Harry Kane with that much downtime in his recent schedule.

      He hattricked v Burnley in December last year 😉

    5. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not mad, Sterling a good pick, but Kane is the better option this week imo (have both). But at the end of the day, if your gut is telling you to go Sterling I would just follow it. I find it worse when i ignore those gut decisions and lose points than when I follow gut decisions and lose points.

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling home average is insane. And if he doesnt start, he will only come on if Everton has the defensive performance of a life time.

      1. boc610

    1. Maddi Son

      Can it wait or week or nah? Just to see if Bednarek is picked again

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    A D Luiz and Giroud ( as team below) or
