      Was thinking about Jay Leno, was going to save this week but decent fixtures for Arse in the next 5. Worth Fab to Leno?

    Pochettino is such a good coach, he must have flown over to Abu Dhabi and given Qatar some extra coaching sessions so they would knock out south korea.

    Must be what happened

  3. g40steve

    Is Son going to lead the line when he returns?

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Would've thought so

  4. MysticMac17
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I now don't have a playing goalkeeper after Australia's loss and no money in the bank so I need to sacrifice someone for a hit to upgrade Button. Who would you sell? I would like Son in two gameweeks so don't want to downgrade Rich now. Open to suggestions. Alternatively do I just play with 10 players this gameweek?

    Button
    TAA Digne Jonny
    Salah Hazard Sterling Pogba
    Firmino Rashford Jimenez

    Subs: Guaita, Richarlison, Bednarek, AWB

    1. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Play 10

      • Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        AWB/Jonny > Valery maybe

        1. Rihanovic
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Is Valery nailed???

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Cedric looks to be on his way out, so I think so, but haven't really looked into it.

    2. Stig
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve taken a -12 hit so far this week.

      With Son returning and the possibility of City or Chelsea having a DGW in GW25 and not owning any of their players, should I consider Wildcarding or should I hold on to it at all costs for the later DGWs?

      1. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Got a great laugh out of this post. Cheers!

          • 10 Years

          I would use it tbh. You'll get more benefit over the next 10 weeks than saving it for 1 week

          1. Rihanovic
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Totally this, plus any more than -8 is worth a WC\FH IMO

        • Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You are Swedish, aren't you?

      2. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Was set to bring in McCarthy, but now Ryan a better option?

        Hoping Guaita back by GW27.

        Thoughts please 🙂

        4m ITB

        If GW 25 DGW confirmed thinking to save in GW 24 and before GW25:

        Anderson VVD to Hazard Luiz

        Fab
        Doherty VVD Robbo Digne
        Salah Pogba Anderson Richa
        Rashford Auba

        Subs: Button, AWB, Camarasa, Success

      4. Slippy
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So will Son start vs Watford?

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, he is in for Alli

        2. Butcher
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Captain

      5. fridge

        Loved my midfield a couple of weeks ago, now I want to get rid of 3 of them!

        Foster
        Robbo. Digne. Doherty
        Salah. Haz. Pog. Rich. Fanderson
        Rash. Jiminez

        Speroni. Bednarek. AWB. Kamara

        A) Fanderson > Sane
        B) Richarlison > Sane
        C) Hazard & Fanderson > Sterling & Sane (-4)
        D)Save

        1. Slippy
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Hazard could explode back in his preferred position. & on pens... I would keep.

      6. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So how long is TAA really out for?

        1. Pinturicchio10
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Until he's back

          • ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Klopp says for Leicester he isn’t sure but after that, he’s 100%

            1. Cruz88
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Didn't he say not sure for Leicester, but 100% after West ham and bou?

              1. Rostah
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Klopp: “It will not be long [for Trent], but is he ready for Leicester? I don’t know, we will find out. Then it’s West Ham and then Bournemouth. After that he will be 100 per cent [back] but until then, we have to see.”

                Sounds to me like he's saying he may or may not feature in any of those games. If he does feature he won't be 100% match fit but after those he will be. Sounds like he'll be eased back in. I could be totally misinterpreting it though.

                1. tambourineman
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Sounds like it will end up being the month that Paul Joyce originally reported

        2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Same to Son this GW?

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Sane*

            1. g40steve
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Hard decision both explosive players who can haul?

          2. Slippy
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            No. Many would be looking to get Sane in.

          3. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Big gamble with Sane playing Newcastle and no guarantees that Son starts. It could pay off but in my eyes the odds are much more in Sane's favour of getting returns.

        3. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Anderson to Son?

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yes imo. The only player I can get out for son is Sane, so I’m stuck 🙁

            1. Here's Tom with the We…
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Yes

          2. Slippy
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yes. I'm trying to find a way to afford it. If TAA were fit, I could do Robertson to him to make the cash. Unfortunately I'm stuck!

          3. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yup

        4. Ahmed Adam
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          SON Is back

        5. ESilva23
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Okay, I'm quite excited about Hazard's chances to have a double gameweek in 25 but I had been planning to move on from Digne and Sigurdsson ahead of week 27 (to swap in Leicester guys)

          What to do with Everton Assets in a double with Man City (and Wolves) week 25:
          A) Net negative to play them
          B) May blank against City but can be viewed like on a single gameweek
          C) Still two chances to get points in a week, play them!

          1. Robson-Canoe
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            C

          2. Amey
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Of course play them.
            Siggy can score against anyone. Such a nice technical player.
            Digne can get assists too from their big CB's headed goals.

        6. Sᴄʜᴜ̈RRʟᴇ ⓝ
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Fab (wol)
          or
          Button (BUR)

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Fab

          2. Robson-Canoe
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Button plays vs Fulham?

          3. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Button vs Fulham

        7. Robson-Canoe
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Do you guys think Son will already be in the squad on sunday?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Doubt it, but if he's on the bench, I suppose that's a good sign for owners/buyers.

          2. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            No chance IMO

          3. TAArt
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            He played today... no chance!

        8. Gringo Kid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Richarlison to Son or to Hazard due to potential DGW?

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Wait until it's not potential.

          2. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Wait until closer to deadline. Haz if DGW.

        9. HD7
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thoughts please 🙂

          GW25:
          Anderson VVD to Hazard Luiz

          Fab
          Doherty VVD Robbo Digne
          Salah Pogba Anderson Richa
          Rashford Auba

          Subs: Button, AWB, Camarasa, Success

          1. Robson-Canoe
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Only if DGW25...

          2. circusmonkey
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Keep vvd

        10. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          With Ederson Sane Hazard Digne and Ricky a double in 25 would be awesome. Won't happen though.

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Just Haz and Luiz here, so hoping DGW25 doesn't happen.

        11. Robson-Canoe
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          So everyone's assuming that a DGW25 will happen if neither of Chelsea, Brighton, City and Everton end up in an FA Cup replay?

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I am.

          2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Even if that happens it still may not be a DGW

          3. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I think City and Everton might have about 25% probability in that scenario.

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

            Imagine they all lost in fa cup this weekend.... DGW 26!

                Exactly

        13. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          1 and 4 arent options currently

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I see what i did there

          • 12 Years

          No other article has quite the same ability to make me suddenly want a player as Big Numbers articles

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Statistics can be manipulated to say almost anything

          2. Rostah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Always eye opening alrite. A combo of this article + the eye test on players your debating over always makes my mind up for me. Worth the eye test as well though as sometimes the numbers flatter or deceive.

        17. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Saturday- Alli is a great option
          Monday- no way am i getting a spurs player
          Friday- looks if i can afford Rich to Son

            Ramsey and Alexis hatties. Lindelof winner.

              Defence is worrying me.

              Utd have come to play!

                No choice really is it. Attacking has been working for Ole's team and image, and they have Lukaku and Alexis to give chances to.

                Emery is going to attempt to be "tactical", and it'll either work (genius) or it won't (wenger in). And i suspect it won't.

            You know every season players from clubs play in cup games and then turn out for league games several days later. It's not like clubs play an entirely different XI for cup games
