    Brooks & Higuain or Hazard & King for 31/33?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haz and king

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting question.

      I would probably go Hazard and King

    3. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haz king too

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Quite a big price difference tbf. Brooks will make a decent bench fodder for DGW35 BB, if needed.

    5. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What is the hype with King? He is very average and Bournemoth are terrible away from home

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Brooks Higuain Hazard in my team.

    7. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Joshua and eden

  2. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years

    Hi mates.

    Azpi a solid pick for GW30, 31 and 33? Better than Luiz?

    Cheers

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I vote for azpi

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

        I am tempted to do Doherty and Rash out // Azpi and King in

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don't have anything to back this up but from memory Azpi always seems to finish the season strong

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That is my impression as well. I feel Azpi can also be a good differential for next GWs. He seems to be more involved in their attacking process in fact

      2. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He single handedly won a mini league for my mate on the final weekend, pipping me to the title right at the end! So I back it up!

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Close. Luiz has some corner threat and that killer long ball. Azp had a few assists recently.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. That caught my attention. More involved in the attacking process, currently presenting some decent upside from assists

  3. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Tomkins nailed for Palace?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  4. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How can everybody be so sure of aguero starting this gw?
    He was exhausted last gw and has champions league to come

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

      Last gwk was a week ago though, he's hardly still exhausted 🙂

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sure, but it give time for Jesus to build fitness too

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

          I think Jesus will get his minutes in the cup but you could easily be right

          1. Rider on the Storm
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pep's decision are impossible to foresee

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero C for me

    3. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bcuz Pep plays his best team to win the title

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Correct answer

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    GTG? (FH GW32)

    Fab
    TAA Schär Pereira
    Pogba Salah Mané Sterling(c)
    King Jimenez Vardy

    Bench: Hayden Schindler Doherty
    0 FT, 1.8 ITB

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    *repost

    Alisson

    Pereira Robertson WB (Doherty Bednarek)

    Anderson Salah Hazard Pogba (Camarasa)

    Aguero Jimenez Barnes

    2.0m in the bank. Camarasa - > Brooks (benching Barnes). Look ok?

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid

  7. Hiddenpaw
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is triple captain on Aguero a good move this week? Need to make up ground as having an awful season. Still have BB and Free Hit so not many options left.

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

      Could be yeah. Always that lingering doubt with Aguero starting but if he starts he's a great shout

    2. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don't remember exactly what I read but seems there could be a mini DGW for some teams outside 32 and 35.

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

        Brighton potentially

    3. billydesmond
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No. Aguero might not play this weekend and you should use it for a DGW.

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero has apparently been a risk of not playing every week for the past 5 or 6 weeks, he keeps showing up though. And the guy asking above explained that he still had his BB and FH chip, so how will he use the TC in a DGW?

  8. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone keeping Auba?

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Those who like red arrows

  9. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to pick for WHU for blank weeks?

    Chicharito too risky?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wuld go with lanzini (or maybe snodgrass)

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ty trying to avoid King up top.

  10. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more likely to get more minutes in the next two games?

    A) Lanzini

    B) Arnie

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I got Doherty at 4.6, Pogba at 7.8 and Jiménez at 5.6, so that being said which one would you lose for the upcoming weeks ,Obviously would play 4-4-2, 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 respectively depending on which one goes.....

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lose doherty
      It is not even sure he plays both matches of dgw

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        As posted earlier since 41pt blitz between 5-8 he's averaged 2.95ppg which is a bit rubbish

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Good point mate

  12. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Camarasa - > Brooks. Start Jimenez

    B. Jimenez & Camarasa - > King & Brooks - 4

    C. Jimenez - > King. Start Camarasa

    Will lose 0.6m on Jimenez but not even certain I'll own him again until gwk 34

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years

    3. Magic Zico

      A

  13. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this may have to do it tonight as aguero May rise, also do we think ogbonna will hold his spot for gw 31?

    Auba, Rashford, Pereira to Aguero, Vardy, Ogbonna

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      -4pt hit

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just Auba to Vardy for me

  14. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo should I get this week?

    A) King and Lanzini

    B) Arnie and Fraser

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba nowhere to be seen in the team news and predicted team section.
    Updated today. Something I don't know?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Click bait or just flat out wrong. Pogba walks back into the team.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Someone made a mistake somewhere. Heads should roll.

  16. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Højbjerg > Brooks
    B) Kamara, Son > Vardy, Brooks (-4)
    C) Son > Mane

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult without knowing team set up but would want Son this week and like Brooks so A

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Fabianski
        TAA, Pereira, AWB, Yedlin
        Salah, Son, Pogba, Rich
        Aguero, Higuain

        Hamar, Doherty, Højbjerg, Kamara

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Only 7 for 31 so suggest hit and go B

          1. Maddamotha
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers

  17. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

      Digne

    2. MattysFantasyFooty

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        obviously brooks is your answer

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Digne

  18. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chances of an Arnie start?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No one has any clue

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will start but personally not taking risk so not getting him in.

  19. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brooksmania in these parts.

    Hope he lives up to the hype for everyone.

    I’m 0.1m short of Jimi, Jota > Vardy, Brooks so I may get Maddison and decide next week if I get King/ Wilson or just hold Jimi for now

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Back from injury so will not expect him to haul

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Change of plan. Next week Sterling to Maddison and Gunnarson to Siggy/Anderson

    Plan FH 32 and WC 34

    Good to go this week ?

    Boruc
    TAA Van Dijk Lascelles

    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    what do u rather guys?

    A) double up liverpool defence (TAA VVD)
    B) double up liverpool midfield ( salah mane )

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think double up defence better- just!

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years

        thanks mate

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If I could, A.

      But I’m going to go to B next week (got Salah and TAA, bringing in Mane).

      Then probably A on the 34WC!

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        why you couldn't ? 🙂

        1. PascalCygan

          Doing Son to Mane next week but don’t have the money to upgrade any of my defenders to Robertson.

            i'm on the opposie side 🙂
            can't get mane
            and will upgrade kolasinac to VVD or Robertson

              Ha! Feel like not having Robbo has been the single biggest mistake I’ve made this season, among many others.

  23. Viper

    Azpilicueta didn’t feature tonight. Does that make him more secure for this weekend or less please?!

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years

      More

    2. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely more. Zappacosta just played for the first time in nearly 2 months. Azpi is by far the most secure person in that back 5 given Kepas insubordination

  28. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morning al, have 2ft and 0.6m. suggestions?

    Fabianski -- Button
    Lascelles Digne Pereira -- Doherty Schindler
    Salah Pogba Sterling Rich -- Hayden
    Jimenez King Aguero

    - Plan is to do Sterling/Kun >> Hazard/Higuain in gw31.

    A: Hayden >> Brooks and roll FT....might also do Schindler >> Digne (-4) in gw31 with funds left over from downgrading sterling/kun
    B: Digne >> TAA and roll FT....in this case might do hayden >> fraser (-4) in gw31 with funds left over from downgrading sterling/kun
    C: Doherty >> TAA. Logical move but lots of value tied up in him so need to decide whether he is a good option for dgw32/5

    Leaning towards B but that means keeping schindler for gw31/33 whereas A means i keep digne (over schindler) but at the expense of getting brooks (over fraser)

  29. Ghost86
