    Eriksen anyone?

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

      Prefer Son

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

      Tempted, nice differential. But if Son's likely to play both, going with him as cheaper.

    3. Bird Raymond
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane or no Spurs.

  2. simong1
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Opinions on which team is better here?

    A)
    Kepa
    Azpi - Lindelof - Shlupp
    Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - David Silva
    Batsman - Rashford - Aguero

    B)
    Ederson
    Azpi - Lindelof - AWB
    Pogba - Hazard - Sterling - Son
    Batsman - Rashford - Aguero

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

      A

  3. NUFCAndrew
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Kepa

    Azpi Schlupp Dunk

    Sterling Hazard Sane Pogba Martial

    Aguero Rashford

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same is a risky one.

      Son would be a safer pick but equally Sane could only play one game yet get you 15 pts.

      Son could end up with 5 from 2.

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

      Like it. Almost same as mine. I have Kane & Laporte, you have Sane & Martial.

  4. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I guess like me many can’t go much further with teams until we know Rashford fit. I have my Rashford team if fit or Kane team. Which would you prefer? * shows differences

    A Team Rashford

    Ederson*
    Azpilicueta* Lindelof Luiz
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Son*
    Aguero Batshuyai Rashford*

    B Team Kane

    Kepa*
    Luiz Lindelof Schlupp*
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Deulofeu*
    Aguero Batshuyai Kane*

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Team A

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

      A is a great team imo

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

      Anyway you could get a 3rd man city (i.e. Laporte) with Team Kane (i.e. Bat to Quaner)

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes in fact made mistake there. Can get Laporte Smalling over Luiz Lindelof

    4. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty much my conclusion as well (see above). Would go with Rashford if fit, better value and better fixtures.

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Waiting on the Rashford news but this is my latest draft with 3 City attack. All good? Any changes at all?

    0.2ITB so who is the best first sub either 4.4 mid or 4.0 def?

    Foster
    Azpilicueta • Lindelöf • Schlupp
    Sterling • Hazard • Pogba • D.Silva
    Agüero • Rashford • Batshuayi

  6. Goat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully all this shield and sword stuff stays in 18/19 season and doesn’t enter next season

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

      haha i was thinking the same ...what a load of ....

    2. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I came here to play fpl not dungeons and dragons

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

    How is this looking? Assuming everyone is fit.

    Kepa
    Azpi, Laporte, AWB/Schlupp
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Martial,
    Aguero, Rashford, Bats

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If Rashford out makes me decisions easier

  9. Viper
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else feel the need to spend all there budget? Feel like going Higuain over Rashford just to fill my budget

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

      I'm feeling another CHE def over Lindelof because I can, what do you reckon. Think Rash is a better pick than Higuain IF Lukaku is ruled out.

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think double Chelsea is a safer bet

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

          Thanks

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

      I know what you mean, I’ve squeezed out and have 0.1 spare!

      Wait on Rash, but think it could be a good option if you wanted a bit of fun.

      Issue with Hig is that one bad game and Giround is lurking.

  10. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Seeing a lot of Laporte, is he really nailed for two starts having missed the last three gameweeks?

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

      Was injured for those three premier league games, but returned after injury and played in the cup game, and CL game, hasn't played for France, and seems to be the preferred centre back of the four available to Pep.

      I still say Ederson/Luiz is the better, safer, more nailed on, combination. But Laporte is the best choice of any City defender.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Think Ederson Luiz is actually riskier - Laporte is the only fit centre half, had a few weeks rest. David Luiz has Cahill and Christensen as potential rotation options.

        Emerson and Azpi the expensive option, but I’ve gone for Kepa and Laporte.

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

          Christensen perhaps, but Cahill hasn't played since his 21 mins in gw 6. And Christensen has played 3 league games all season, been used more in the cups and EL but could step in yes

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

          I'm not buying the rotation risk of Luiz....I mean sure, all players, especially in a double game week, are somewhat of a rotation risk, but Cahill hasn't played all season, and Christiansen has played, what, three times?
          Luiz also didn't have international duty.

          As I've said above, I expect Laporte will play both games, but would anyone be shocked if Pep rotated?...Ederson however is as nailed as can be.

          Luiz also slightly more attacking threat than Laporte.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Was injured. But still a risk

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ederson still safer.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Otamendi, Kompany, Stones all injured, Laporte allegedly not injured so Pep may not have much choice

      Wouldn’t be surprised to see him miss a game though

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ota, Komp & Stones have all been training since Monday.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

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

        Watch Fernandinho and Delph at centre back on Saturday!

  11. Bavarian

    2-Ederson-Luiz

    1. HamezMace

    2. asquishypotato

      A all the way for me

    2. Amey

      A

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    Question - how many goals do Kane owners see Spurs scoring in their two games?

    A. < 2
    B. 2-3
    C. 4-5
    D. More than 5

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

      2 max imo

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Realistically I’d say B.

    3. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      C
      Pool v Spurs 1:1
      Spurs v Palace 3:1

    4. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B:
      Pool - Spurs 2 -1
      Spurs - CPY 2 -1

      Kane two goals + 2 baps

      D

  16. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Prefer Luiz or Schlupp? One spreads the risk somewhat, but other safer option maybe?

    DDG
    Azpi ___ Duffy

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Rudiger

      Young
      Ddg to Kepa

  17. b91jh

    How does this look? Manchester all-out-attack mode

    Kepa
    Luiz Trippier Schlupp

    Kun Rashford

    Also,
    A) Kepa+Trippier+Dilva

  21. Smurf

    Much chance of getting City team news before the deadline?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not really - can hope to see the twitter team a minute before deadline but they are usually pretty tight.

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best cheap first sub? Around 4m for defender and 4.4 for Mid? With a double ideally

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm just going fodder, maybe stretch to 4.3 for Stephens or Dendoncker in mid.

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

      Camarassa at $4.5m. On PK's and direct free kicks.

  23. Netters2018
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 1 of Smalling Young or Lindelof....

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All 3 will start both games imo so go with whoever you think is the best option.

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

      Young for his goal involvement.

    3. Netters2018
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I prefer young but you really think he will start both im a bit worried which is making me think smalling may be safer bet?

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

        Smalling could be subbed with Bailly or Jones.

  24. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This is a tough one I feel

    A) Schlupp & Martial

    B) Smalling/Lind & Jim/Bats/Zaha

  25. -GK22-

    Hi is there an FFS league code for Eliteserien?

  26. Caleb's Kitties
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Latest FH drafts:

    Team A

    LLORIS
    Azpi LUIZ lindelof
    Hazard sterling pogba D.SILVA
    Aguero RASHFORD batshuayi

    OR

    Team B

    KEPA
    Azpi lindelof DUNK SCHLUPP
    Hazard sterling pogba
    Aguero KANE batshuayi

    1. Caleb's Kitties
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Apologies team B should be Ederson instead of Kepa

  27. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Feeling somewhat happy. How does she look? £0.4m change

    DDG
    Azpi Luiz Duffy
    Sterling(c) Hazard Pogba DSilva
    Aguero Rashford* Zaha*

    * if fit

    Aguero v Sterling (c)? why?

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

      (c) Aguero because he was rested during the IB and he leads the league for xGI over everyone's last 6 matches.

    I fear OGS's press conference today will be entirely preoccupied with q&a over his appointment. Don't think we'll learn much in respect to team news.

    1. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Its today? What time?

      1. potatoace

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        4pm.

  29. Rocky FPL

    Why all this love for Alli/Son/Eriksen.

    First game, they are playing at Anfield which is arguably the toughest fixture for an attacker, then they have a game against palace in the new stadium which can be tricky and low scoring.
    They have a tough dgw fixture and a mediocre form. So everyones going for spurs attackers purely based on Nostalgia?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Suggest some better alternatives?

        1. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          So which defender is better than him?

  30. SH1M1
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa

    Azpi Duffy Laporte Schlupp

    Sterling Pogba Hazard

    Aguero Jimenez Kane

    Good to go?

    1. Stevalek8
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      bingo!! Maybe Jimmy-->Bats

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

        How will Bats play if Zaha is injured? Jim's game time is of concern. Might be worth downgrading to Quaner and bring in Babel as a 4th MF.

      2. SH1M1
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I was thinking this too. will wait to see if Zaha is fit to help his creativity
