    So I have the following players set in my FH squad...

    Guita *
    Lindelof AWB Valery * *
    Hazard Mane Sterling Stephens *
    Aguero Jimenez *

    Best five remaining spots?
    A Foster Peltier Laporte Pereira Lukaku
    B Foster Peltier Dunk Milivojevic Lukaku
    C Foster Laporte Luiz Milivojevic Rashford
    D Ederson Boly Peltier McArther Lukaku

      That's a FH squad!? Mane and Valery don't even have a double gameweek! That's just bad

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Form and fixtures...I can only play 11...

      C

    Goal Jesus
    Kun will now be benched for rest of the season

    Higuain + Deulofeu or Sané + Deeney?

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

      The first one easily.

  5. Top Lad Dakes.

    5 years, 1 month ago

    In home games v top six this season (so far) Liverpool have only conceded twice in 3 matches, and have only conceded more than once against the top six this season when losing 2-1 at the Etihad. Not sure Kane will manage much, personally...

    On top of that, Palace have only conceded 3 in their last 4 away games, discounting the fluke 7 goal game at Anfield.

    Not sure Kane will manage much, personally...

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I like Kane. He has scored at Anfield before and Liverpool look jittery right now. A new stadium against a Palace defence that really misses Sakho.

  6. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why no love for Doherty?

    Is he unlikely to play both games??

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That's the reason yes with fa cup coming up. Personally think he will start both as he was rested (dropped) for Ireland today

  7. how now brown cow

    Thought this FH fortnight was going to be exciting for some reason. Boring as hell, and everyone seems to be converging on a seemingly obvious but no doubt doomed to fail template.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only looks that way. At the start of GW32 only 53.6% of the top 10k teams had FH chip left (according to FPL Discovery).
      Having said that, fail incoming for most of us 🙂

    Lovely move from Brazil 3-1 Jesus again

    "Luiz and Azpilicueta seem to have the best chances of starting"

    Azpi obviously but is Luiz really more likely to start than Rudiger? My impression has been that Rudiger has suffered less rotation than Luiz thus far.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      would you go azpi over luiz if you could only have one?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oh definitely, Azpi is the best pick imo. It's just whether you can better spend the money you'd save by opting for Rudiger/Luiz elsewhere.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger more nailed than luiz

  11. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sane + Schlupp

    Or one of these combos:

    Dilva/Son + PVA/Lindelöf

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What's the consensus on Jimenez? Likely to be rested for one of the games?

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No he will play both

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’d be a complete guess - how far has he travelled during the intl break?

  13. The Baby-faced Assassin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this FH team? (2m ITB)

    Kepa (3.9)

    Schlupp - Azpi - PVA (3.8, 3.8)

    Hazard - Pogba - DSilva - Sterling (4.2)

    Jiminez - Aguero - Bats

    With the money free, will probably upgrade the bench fodder just in case there is any unexpected no shows.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dont leave money on bench on FH

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why Kepa over Ederson ?

      Are people going for him because of cost?

      1. oispakaljaa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Three city attackers

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He has triple attack

  14. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    FH squad is

    Boruc *
    Lindelof AWB Valery * *
    Hazard Mane Sterling Stephens *
    Aguero Jimenez *

    Best five remaining spots?
    A Foster Peltier Laporte Pereira Lukaku
    B Foster Peltier Dunk Milivojevic Lukaku
    C Foster Laporte Luiz Milivojevic Rashford
    D Ederson Boly Peltier McArther Lukaku

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Two questions
      Why Mane?
      And why do you keep posting this every 2 minutes?

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1 form
        2 it’s twice in 12 mins...

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Neither convinces me

          1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

  15. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best combo? No FH sadly.
    A) Dunk Higuain
    B) Azpilicueta Rashford

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B if Ole says Rashford is fit

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

      B by a mile

  16. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this low TV FH team?

    Kepa

    Laporte/Lindelof/Duffy/AwB

    Sterling/Pogba/Haz

    Kun/Higuain/Rashford

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid

    2. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad at all

  17. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa
    Azpi Duffy schlupp laporte
    Sterling pogba hazard Townsend
    Kane aguero

    Any changes?

  18. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    People trust CHE defence enough to go for both Luiz and Azpi?

    If not, which (money no problem), and why?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t trust, and I don’t like the odds on luiz playing both games - really need to upgrade to azpi somehow

    2. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Kepa and Azpi(Think he's the most nailed on of the lot)

  19. George James
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone have a link to the man united injury update? Cheers

  20. dunas_dog

    Been settled on this for last day or so. Anything you would change or looking OK to go?

    Kepa
    Laporte Smalling Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Deulofeu
    Aguero(c) Kane Batshuayi

    1. Daghe Munegu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great team

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great. If you have 0.1 more perhaps go Young over Smalling

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

        Thanks- unfortunately 0 m in bank and 3.9 3.8 3.8 4.2 on bench!

        Could go Duffy over Schlupp- so would be Laporte Young and Duffy. Worth considering do you think?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You couldn’t 🙂 dunk maybes

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          But no I wouldn’t pal. Like the Schlupp pick

    3. sneakyr
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Swap Smalling for Lindelof and that is my team.

  21. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Delofeou or Jota for double GW or is rotation too much of a concern with the FA Cup fixture?

  22. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm stuck with Doherty and Jonny.

    Surely both are worth selling, even for a hit each?

    Both will likely play 1 game in the DGW, and they don't play in GW 33.

  23. Pistol
    • 10 Years

    A. Rash, Azpilicueta, Dilva
    B. Kane, Laporte, Tomkins

  26. Daghe Munegu

    Is this any good?

    Ederson
    Azpi Smalling Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Deulofeu
    Kun Higuain Batshuayi

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Yep. Almost ideally to one of my many drafts 🙂

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

        Identical

        1. Daghe Munegu
          • 7 Years

          Have 0.1 itb. Why do you think Young over Smalling?

    Best pick of FH?

    B. Azpi+Batshuayi

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B safer

      A more explosive, but Zaha might pull a muscle after 5 minutes

    2. Daghe Munegu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Apzi + Michy

    3. Rash

      B

  28. Puyol Pants Up
