      • 7 Years

      Nope - wait for pressers

    2. Bubbles1985

      Cheers dude

    Afternoon All. Who's the best double GW mid for 5.9 or less? Thanks in advance

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Deulofeu

      1. JohnCarewCarew
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This. Or Knockaert.

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

      Townsend and Deulofeu

    3. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Townsend imo

  7. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Have Ederson Luiz but hearing about Luiz rotation...?
    Is Kepa Laporte better though - Kepa may be rotated for one of the matches maybe due to the scandal in the final and Laporte hasnt play nearly a month?

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

      I agree that Kepa and Laporte are better options imo. The Kepa issue has been sorted now, so no danger him getting rotated.

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

      Ederson & Luiz is fine.
      Stop overthinking everything.
      Better to ask, than assume.

  8. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa. (Button)
    Shaw. Luiz. Doherty. (Diop, Bednarek)
    Sterling. Mane. Pogba. Mikhitaryan. (Hayden)
    Aguero. Rashford. Jimenez.

    To do Mikhitaryan > Hazard I have to do Rashford > Cheap forward (Grant of Huddersfield)

    Should I do it..?? Can have only 1 from Rashford or Hazard..

    1. FPL FREAK
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone...??

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think its worth it, straight Mane to Hazard switch possible?

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No.. Getting few funds short...

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

          then sit tight

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Doherty to Tomkins and Mane to Hazard if possible can be worth a punt

  9. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry but I must have missed it. Was the Utd presser done? Rashford available?

  10. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Best combo here?

    A) Wan-B, Lindelof & Higuain

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

    Duffy or Schlupp? And why?

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

      Schlupp - could be out of position on LW if Zaha is out

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

        Yeah, that would be nice. You think Zaha is our?

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

          Out*

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Something's up if he flew all the way to Ivory Coast to not play.

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schlupp OOP

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schlupp

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

    Any changes needed? 0.1 ITB:

    Foster
    Schlupp, Luiz, AWB
    Hazard, Sterling, Bilva, Martial
    Agüero, Higuaín, Kane

    ?

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

      what is your team Value, I am 105m and I would be 4m away from that team??

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

        Something like 108.5m

  13. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Better option:

    A) double Chelsea defence
    B) Chelsea + United defence

  14. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Batman in many teams?

    I am not convinced just yet. Would like to hear a few props.

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

      Cause you can't pick Robben

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wayyyy.

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

        Excellent work

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lack of other nailed mid-price options. Taking up an attacking spot for one of the big three teams this week, so not for me though.

    3. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In form for Country and on loan, so has a point to prove.
      Passes the eye test.
      Probably starts both.
      Low ownership.
      Zaha is probably injured.
      Easy match Vs Huddersfield could swing the tide in his favour.
      Decently priced.
      The only time you could get him in your team and get away with it, is on a FH.

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

        Why not going for Jiminez then at that price range? At least Jiminez is proven goal scorer this season and may start both games as well after that one game rest during the IB. Also Wolves a much better attacking unit than Palace.

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think he'll start the first. And get subbed on for the second. Nuno would definitely want him fresh and won't be risking an injury before the FA cup match.

          Since Watford players will get their rest too, and this is Nuno's best shot at silverware, rotation is highly likely.

          Yes, they have nothing to lose in the PL & they've proven to be a strong opposition.
          But focus should be on the FA cup, for both.

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

            If City win the FA cup, that 7th place both Watford and Wolves are fighting for could be very valuable. PL would be important for both as well.

    4. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Better than Mili anyway

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

        I think you don't need to cover any team imo, all you need are the ones you think will score the highest.

  15. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Still undecided. Help me make up my mind?

    A) KEPA.
    Luiz. LAPORTE. SCHLUPP.
    Sterling. Pogba. Hazard. ALLI.
    Aguero. Rashford. BATSHUAYI.

    OR

    B) EDERSON.
    Luiz. AZPILICUETA. TRIPPIER. YOUNG.
    Sterling. Pogba. Hazard.
    Aguero. Rashford. ZAHA.

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

      I've gone for a 4 3 3 as it makes the team look a little stronger. I've had to lose milli from my last draft but I feel it is worth it.
      Anybody have any worthwhile comments to offer.
      I Have never asked for a RMT before, so comments would be appreciated.

      Kepa
      Laporte rudiger sclupp Duffy
      Hazard sterling pogba
      Aguero kane batshuayi

      Hamer stephens (playing sub in case) schneiderlin simpson

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't change anything, but I'd recommend Luiz for Rudiger. As I see him getting benched for one game.

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A. I have the exact same team apart from Alli for Son.

  16. the vanisher
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    ederson
    azpi lindelof awb
    hazard sterling pogba jota
    aguero rashford higuain

    all good?

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

    I know it’s an been a much-asked question over these past 2 weeks, but:

    Are you going for Ederson, Laporte, or triple City attack (likely DSilva for me)
    ... and why?

    It feels wrong not to max out on City attack with those fixtures. Surely DSilva will get decent enough minutes? Didn’t play over IB. Additionally, there are other options like DDG, Foster even for GK over Ederson, while Laporte could be rotated?

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

      D.Silva - live a little

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He might get gametime but what are the chances of getting good score?

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

        Reasonably good surely? He’s a consistent points scorer when he plays, for the most part. Always chips in a/ assists etc - surely a higher ceiling than Ederson who at best will get 2CS and maybe some saves, but could end up with 4pts

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

      B Silva for me

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

        Why him over David? Fab player don’t get me wrong but more of an assisted to the assisted a lot

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

          Yeah.
          But, i have a gut feeling is that he'll do well. Also will play on RW as Kdb,DSilva, Fernandinho,Gundo fit

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Its Ederson, Rudiger & Son vs Kepa, Schlupp & D.Silva for me.
      I kind of prefer the former.

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Triple attack - Ederson unlikely to get more than 12 or 13 points whereas an attacker could score lots more if the matches are cricket scores (which is very possible).

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

      Its a 50/50. City players share goals and gametime. Could be a big score without much Dilva involvement.

  18. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The RMT tool backs Batshuyai to score more than Milivojevic. Do you think the same?

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

      I reckon he has a much better chance of doing so, yeah

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes better than Mili, but not anywhere near better than the likes of Jimi/Rash.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. I can see Batshuayi scoring heavy against Huddersfield, i wouldn’t be suprised to see a brace. He’s playing well and Huddersfield are log.

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

    A. Kepa, Laporte, Jimenez, Kane

    B. Ederson, Azpilicueta, Son, Higuain

    Once I solve this dilemma, I'm done.

    1. the vanisher
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B imo

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably prefer A because of Kane vs Higuain

  20. semiconductor
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I am not FHing this gw with 8 dgw players. My single gw players are:

    Robertson-Mane-Fraser (playing)
    Rondon-Valery-Diop (bench in order)

    1. Am I choosing the right 3 to play?
    2. Right bench order?

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

    Wwy think about this team? Not sure on Son due to fixtures (he could become a different 5th mid), but just surprised I can afford it.

    DDG
    Azpi Duffy Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Son DSilva
    Aguero Rashford

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

      Great team - i much the same but Kepa, Luiz and Young for DDG, Azpi and Duffy.

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

        Cheers man. So you reckon son a good pick despite v hard fixtures?

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

          Yeah - better pick than Alli or Eriksen. Could go for Martial instead but would need to lose another United player.

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

      Like it

  22. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best one out of this bunch?

    1) Martial
    2) Alli
    3) Lingard
    4) Son
    5) Eriksen
    6) Pedro

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

      4

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

      Martial/Son

    A) Ederson, Lindelof, Alli/Son
    B) Kepa, Young, Dilva

    Already have Sterling, Aguero, Hazard and Luiz

      A with Son looks good

        Would you go MU def or double on Chelsea at the back?

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

          I'd probably prefer to double

    Who would you rather have on free hit?

    A...higuain (in addition to hazard)

    Thanks

      Same question mate.
      Currently leaning towards Son.
      I actually quite like Kepa + Azpi double up this gw. So that's a point to consider too

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

        It's a thought one....I generally don't favour a defensive double up....

        But son would free up some cash for me to afford kepa and azpi.....thanks

      I'm so tempted by Hazard's fixtures

      Son if I’m honest

    May we see Man City’s lineup against Fulham before the deadline?

    When I take Kane out I just don't think the extra funds are distributed well enough. I end up picking D. Silva instead of Laporte for example which might not necessarily be a good thing

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years

      With good team valule Kane is good pick but with worse TV Kane makes that team weak.

        Unless downgrading Pogba

    2. Dybala10
      • 6 Years

      I agree. Kane FTW.

    Is anyone considering triple captain this week? With an 8 point hit I can have:

    Fabianski
    Laporte, Doherty, AWB
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Son
    Aguero, Rondon, Jimenez

    Bench: Hamer, Kolasinac, Digne, CHO

    Could TC Sterling and then WC at some stage to set up a team ready to BB in 35?

      If you're not using FH, then this is definitely a great TC shout.

      I'd go Aguero though, always a slight risk Sterling gets rested.

        Played FH last week...hadn’t done enough prep and therefore had barely anyone playing otherwise.

        Slightly fallen on my feet though because had a lot of the DGW players this week ready, which is why it feels an ideal opportunity to play TC.

        The Aguero/Sterling thing is the issue - Sterling surely gets played in both games though with the form he’s in and City needing to win?

    Another FH team to add to the masses.
    How does this look?

    Ederson
    Lindelof - Schlupp - Luiz
    Sterling - Hazard - Son - Pogba
    Rashford - Aguero - Batshuayi

  29. FPL FREAK

    Took -12 for this team... Do u think ther will be a profit..??

    Ederson.
    Luiz. Doherty. Shaw. (Diop, Bednarek)
    Sterling. Hazard. Pogba. Mane. (Hayden)
    Aguero. Jimenez. Grant.

    Thanx in advance
