    will my Rondon > Kane transfer backfire?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably

    2. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    3. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doh, Kane > Rondon

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        i did auba to rondon

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe not this week but Rondonkey has terrible fixtures starting Boxing Day. You’ll want rid immediately.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        not really correctly fits into my (maybe others too) rotation schema perfectly with other defenders and allows me to not have a bench headache but also okish bench cover.Lot are having bench headche this week and when the like likes of ings/jimmy have tough fixtures following week(gw20) rondon has easy one where ur kolasinac's and doherty's have tough fixtures

  2. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Just realised cup opponent has Alisson, VVD and Salah(c)...48-0 down already, been a good run

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      At least you made it past the first round

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only the second week isn’t it?

    3. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      playing a dead team with Salah (c), lovren and Alisson - 39 pts. Still got Wilshere and Alexis. problem is rest of his side and bench pretty decent.

    4. child of God
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You should be glad to have gone that far hehe, I got knocked out round 1 by a 5m manager who captained hazard , I went kane and a 2 point difference saw me out

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I drew with my dead team opponent and we then drew on goals scored and he beat me on goals conceded. I hate FPL.

  3. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fixtures next week for the template are too damn good.

    I have 5 defenders I want to play but really can only start 3! I’m assuming many of us in this boat ?!

    Kola (bha)
    Doherty (ful)
    Alonso (wat)
    Digne (bur)
    AWB (CAR)

    Pool have a good fixture for you lot with them.

    Which three do you even go for ?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why can you only start 3?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Strikers and mids also with amazing fixtures.

        I’ve been doing 4 and 5 at the back a lot this season but now we know the good mids and strikers it’s tough to justify.

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Who do you have?!

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso Doherty AWB

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      this is y i tactically got rondon in so i can bench him this week.Think i would play first 4 100%

    4. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep lots of benching headaches incoming. I’m probably just going to bench my most inexpensive players and be happy I’ve got cover if there’s rotation

    5. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso, Digne , Doherty

    6. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doherty, Alonso, Digne.

      Or bench boost.

    7. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      benchboost

  4. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can’t believe I’m worried because I took kolasinac out... had to free up funds and he was the obvious choice

  5. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Laca and Auba non owners are we afraid?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      nope unless sterling blanks

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        What Sterling has with that? My main oponent has Auba and Sterling

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          well i swapped auba for sterling and want my transfer to be successful loll

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Expect Burnley to sit back, won’t be surprised if it ends 1-0

    3. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well they already atleast 20 pts ahead of the owners in last few gws so guess just will be ok unless improbable hatrick

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No. Burnley will sit in a frustrate like against Spurs last week.

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

      Nahh

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Andrex at the ready

    7. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      One will be subbed off at half time

  6. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    After this congested scheule, which trio in def.:

    A- lovren doherty schindler (current)
    B- robbo jonny bednarek
    C- Taa jonny digne

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at C myself. Laporte + Bennett ~> Digne & Jonny. Already have TAA

  7. HNI
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Glad to not knee jerk auba to haz for -4. This looks very promising lineup with power 4 mid

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      getting haz is kneejerk woww.-4 was risky tho but for free it was a pretty easy move

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley will defend with 10 men

  8. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    wth? Torreira benched. He was my differential. He played almost every single game since gw6 & now he has to be benched.

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rested because he has played almost every single game since gw6?

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That is why he was benched

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have him, just hope that he stays on the bench so that he ca be let loose against the gulls

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pointless player against burnley

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He should be your band wagon bench fodder

  9. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Did the Torreira band wagon pick up enough momentum to actually leave the station ?

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yup. I'm happy I spent the extra $$$ and went Snodgrass.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Better than the Barkley wagon earlier

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Or the Walcott wagon

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Disaster

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Worked nicely for me in gw16 and my bench is strong enough to deal with it

  10. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Yesssss

    Kola and Auba (c) start.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ballsy 😮

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You know it's 8 years since Jack Nicholson acted in a film.

    3. AndyCook
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You need to take more care ordering your bench, it’s totally wrong

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who do you think will score more points today?

      Aubameyang

      or

      Lacazette?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        equal equal

      2. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Laca, always does well when he starts,also should be the furthest forward

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Aubameyang is the safe bet

        1. FDMS All Starz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          They both start

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Ah yes this is a true statement :confused:

      4. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Aubameyang

      5. AuFeld
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Auba. Lower mins/attempt and a higher conversion rate. However, it could go either way since the margins between the two are slim.

      6. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Coin flip but hoping Laca

      7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        laca imo

      8. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        dont know but slightly annoyed auba starts as I didnt think he would and many have captained, I have Laca

      9. AndyCook
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Aubameyang because if they want width they will shed Lacazette and I think they will need up wanting width

      10. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        What minute do we think Lacazette comes off for Torreira?

        40 IMO.

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          95th

        2. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          HT

        3. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          90mins

        4. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think he gets the full 90 mins and Auba to get 70 odd minds. (Auba owner)

      11. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Moving ahead to next GW.

        1. Gibbs-White + Auba -> Hazard + Kamara. (Leaving 1.1m for defensive upgrades + Mitro -> Arnie in a week or

        2. Sterling -> Hazard. Keep the other FT. Gives more flexibility.

        Current set up for next GW.
        Fabianski.
        Kola, Digne, Doherty.
        Rich, Sane, Sterling, Felipe.
        Mitro, Auba (vc), Kane (c).
        Hamer, AWB, Gibbs- White, Lowe.
        2ft, 0.9m.

      12. Debauchy

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He was having a right tiff with Nascimento yesterday.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Some good trolls those two.

          2. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

      13. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Auba: never had him
        Laca: sold for -4
        Kola: never had him

        Status: nervous
        Location: arranging space behind sofa

        1. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Auba : VC
          Laca : Never had him
          Kola : Never had him

        2. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          After selling the ARS pair this week I need Sane + Ings (-4) to outscore them to justify my moves!

      14. A.T
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        People were doing Aub to Rashford on here yesterday. Shan’t lol for fear of a ban. 😆

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          For a hit I might add. Shouldn’t lol anyway as it is actuallyannoying.

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Shouldn't but......

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I've seen posts and recommendations of minus 8s to take out Kane.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I will be surprised if he does well

          2. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Of course, he didn't score last week. You need to bring in last week's scorers at all costs as they are essential and season keepers. Until next week.

        3. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Oh allow me to lol for both of us. Looooooooooool

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

      15. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Good luck burnley sitting back when opposition has øzil. 5-0 on the cards.

      16. STONEROSES
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Anyone else reluctantly take Kolasinac out due to injury concerns only to see him start!?

      17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I must confess something. I was losing out quite badly to my cousin in a mini league.

        Anyway we were talking about FPL and he was running his mouth about leading the league so I hinted Ben Dinnery as a source for team news. Since then he's taken our sterling and kolasinac based on Ben Dinnerys tweets 😆

        This is how you use FPL to your advantage my friend

        If you want to get the edge over your rivals direct them to Ben

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years

          Well played.

        2. Mysterion
          • 8 Years

          Direct him to your scaremongering posts on here, the ML race will be finished in January

          • 12 Years

          Cant wait for your post after the games cursing your decision to pysch him out when Kola gets a red and concedes 4 and Sterling blanks while his replacements haul big 😆

      18. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Laca to get pulled off at half time ? If he is lucky ? 🙂

        1. Hotdogs for Tea

          Brace incoming to reward those that kept faith.

      19. Ode
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kolasinac haul today wouldn’t surprise me, can see most of Arsenal’s chances come from Xhaka or Özil playing lob through balls for Kola in the edge of the box

        1. AandyzZ
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed, think your spot on, kolasinac superior to Maitland niles on the other side also

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Superior how? He is a juggernaut for sure but has finesse of a hippopotamus and the end product of a vomiting cat

        2. FDMS All Starz
          • 10 Years

        Cool, Laca and Auba both start.

        Gives me more than an hour to worry about who's coming off at HT....

          making not so sensible bets and calling yourself jinx doesnt work

        17/18: Burnley has one of the best defences in the league.
        18/19: Burnley has one of the worst defences in the league with the same players and manager.

        Weird that. Overachieved last year and underachieving this year?

          The Europa Effect and teams probably figured them out

          The Burnley defence has never been good, their goal keepers always had lots of saves it was just a matter of time before those shots started to go in.

            Hart has has the most saves this season, they are conceding more shots this year

          Could start and get hooked early or come on as a sub, they don’t need him to win that match tbh

            the live scoutcast just now says different, firmino & mane not really in great form, had to agree

              First mistake listening to the scoutcast. Second mistake agreeing with them.

              They might not be in "fpl form" but they're still playing really well

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years

        2. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Will they get a corner?
