    2. TopwithKlopp
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would go for 2

    3. Patson Dabaka
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      1 simply because I cannot stand to have any points on my bench

  4. Pigeon

      D

  6. Net Gains

      Fraser Perez

  7. LSK
    • 8 Years

    Is there a pre-gwk1 scoutcast?

  8. Jay Arell
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Madness to go Trossard and Locadia for the first 2 GWs and letting the value picks show themselves?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Risky, yeah. Template has historically. Eem the best way to start

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Been*

  9. yanky
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    all set? boom!

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA Robbo Walker Digne (Lundstrom)
    Salah Sterling Bilva Perez (Doncker)
    King Wesley (Locadia)

  10. DAVESAVES
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Pope / Heaton
    Robbo / Coleman / Dunk / Lundstram / Kelly
    Salah / Sterling / Martial / Perez / McGinn
    Jota / Kane / Wickham

    1. Angelic upstart
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Weak defence and not sure the addition of Kane would cover it.

  11. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I still have no idea how I managed to put in all of Kane, Salah, Sterling, Wilson and Bernardo, but what do you think about this team?

    Heaton
    Robertson Vertonghen Kiko Gibson
    Salah Sterling Bernardo Norwood
    Kane Wilson

    Button McGinn Lundstram Greenwood

    Will monitor situation with Gibson of course. If he doesn't seem to play, then I could downgrade Vert or Bernardo.
    I only regret not having Digne, TAA and Perez, but can't have them all, right?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      By playing Kiko, Gibson and Norwood every week

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Spread the cash a little

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Vert went off injured today and has been so injury prone recently

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Haven't noticed that, thanks

    4. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Very weak at the back is how you managed it

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        But with rotation, it could work

  12. Whiskerz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Which of these do you prefer and why?

    A) KDB, Wilson, Ings
    B) Barkley, Auba, King

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A KDB was playmaker today and rate Wilson ahead of King. Ings looks in good form playing for attacking team.

      1. Whiskerz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I think I agree. I just can't shake the feeling that arsenal will smash the first 2 gws.

        I've had a few drafts with Laca and Auba. The easy switch to kane is tempting too.

    3. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A with Adams instead of Ings

      1. Whiskerz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Ings is fed by Adams isn't he? And on pens?

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B.

      A are the better players but B offers a captain pick. KDB may be a captain pick as well but we need to see his nailedoniness.

  13. Fantasy man
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy or Fraser

  14. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A Moura or
    B Fraser

    1. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Moura is a 2wk punt, one of which is mci (away) ... so Fraser!

    2. ***00tennis***
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Moura is now a 3-4 week punt lad #minimum

  15. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I'm going TAA over Robertson by virtue of him delivering the goods last season. Having said that, I can't see a 7m defender being a season keeper. I made this mistake with Alonso and Baines. They'll be a stage in the season where funds are needed elsewhere and it'll be the best way to release that dosh.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Still on the fence over the two here.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I've seen some RMT's with both.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Loads with both, some with all three (VvD)

        2. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Not for me at 7 a piece.

    2. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      TAA was abysmal in community shield. I’ve switched to Robbo for security of starts.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Same with me.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Vvd is a better pick then Taa. Last season due to injuries throughout the season, taa played a more minutes then he would have if gomez, matip & lovren were fit.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Got VVD too

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      One of the biggest mysteries last season was why VVD didn’t get more attacking return from set pieces....don’t be surprised if he puts that right this season.

    5. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      TAA should start almost all of the easy games (at least until ucl starts) he gives them more going forward which is sometimes needed to break down teams that sit back. An early sub might actually be a plus as it gives him a better chance of a cs. He is also on corners which is a big plus, especially when VVD is on your team. No Mane will slightly dent his appeal in gw 1.

    6. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Robertson’s been in my team for over a year, never took him out last season, and is the first on my team sheet

  16. Dutchy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone got insight onto Mark’s team? Haven’t seen him all preseason

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes I've seen it. Mark is taking a break from anything FFS related.

      1. Dutchy
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Where may I have a peak at it?

  17. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    which team does greenwood pay for and why the hype for him

    1. MB10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Answer to both your questions is: United !

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        is he nailed?

        1. MB10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          No chance ! But may get some minutes here and there

  18. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Heaton
    Robertson, Aké, Digne
    McGinn, Sigurdsson, Salah, Pérez, Fraser
    Aubameyang, Wilson

    Button, Greenwood, Lundstram, Masuaku

    Getting more and more settled.

  19. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    How much do Chelsea and Liverpool care about the stupid UEFA Super Cup? Jetting off to Istanbul midweek after the opening game is bonkers. Will they play a lot of squad players?

    Side note, female referee for the first time in a men's European game. Wonder if it will catch on?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It’s just so they can claim a trophy really, they will probably put 8/11 first teamers each imo

      It’s literally just a referee what is there to catch on?

  20. simong1
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    If you could only get one, Kane or KDB? Already have Sterling

    1. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      KDB

    3. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    4. ***00tennis***
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane had 1 shot only in friendly, a free kick and blasted it over the bar + subbed 63mins....did absolutely nothing played #10 Moura way ahead of him #9

      So defo KDB

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        So, that's indicative of what Kane will do this season then?

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Getting there!?

    Lloris
    Robbo VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Zaha Perez
    Wilson Wood
    Button Dendonker Lundstram Greenwood

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Wood is a teaser. You’d think he’d start of course but just a shadow of doubt?

      Really don’t like Zaha first up.

      Lloris is tempting me too. But on your set up Ederson and 5.5 seems less worrisome.

  22. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A) Robbo, TAA, Ings (4-4-2)
    B) TAA, VvD, Perez (4-5-1)

    1. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B

  23. Fantasy man
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Siguadsson or Fraser

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'd prefer Faser if he was .5m more expensive, let alone cheaper

  24. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Accidentally put together a squad with 15 different teams represented while shuffling things around - not too bad actually

    Henderson (McGovern)
    Robbo Luiz Shaw (Holebas) (Kelly)
    KdB Siggy Perez McGinn (Dendoncker)
    Auba Kane Wilson

    1. Dutchy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Look it’s different with the 2 up front but don’t see them outscoring salah + sterling, love to hear your thoughts on shaw?

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Auba Kane are there for weeks 1 and 2 and then Auba becomes Sterling in 3 who rotates captaincy nicely with Kane. I’m not seeing a whole deal of difference between Mo and Sterling and to me they are a binary choice for value and I want money in forward line for a premium - I did very well from them last time.

        Team above isn’t what I jntend. Only got there by shuffling Fraser to Siggy to see how it looked as not that keen on Bournemouth.

        Shaw? Not keen on Zinc at all and I’m playing around with 11.0/11-5 to see what I can get. United May be better defensively this time and I see Shaw as likelier for attacking returns than AWB who has no track record that way.

  25. Jolly Good
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    So Robbo over TAA then after community shield game?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Robbo might be injured. Sticking with TAA regardless

      1. Jolly Good
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Right.. thanks

  26. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I had Matip in my draft before today’s game. Can’t have him or Gomez now. Not sure on Zinchenko. Is Coleman the next best choice?

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Who is Laporte's main partner this year, Otamendi or Stones?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Stones... but will be rotated with Otamendi

  28. LevonCD
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Lads, all opinions welcome.

    Ryan Foster
    TAA Coleman Lund Rico Lascelles
    Siggy Salah Sterling Mcginn Hayden
    Joeltin Jiminez Haller

    Still have 2M in the bank. Thoughts?

  29. DAVESAVES
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A) Coleman, Kelly*, McGinn, Wickham* (3-5-2)

    B) 2x4,5, Dendoncker*, Ings ( 3-4-3)

    *Bench

  30. Roy Rovers
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Quite liking this 3-4-3....what do you think??....0.5ITB

    Heaton
    Zinc. VVD. Digne.
    Salah. KDB. Perez. Barkley
    Kane. Wilson. Wood.

    Button. Taylor. Dendonker. Lundstram.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I think I might pinch it. Really good starting point.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Feel free!!!

    2. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It's decent

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks.....would you spend the 0.5 ITB?

        1. Pigeon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I'd say keep it in case things go south

    3. Doubter2Believer
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I like it.

      Ive gone for something similar....

      Lloris

      VVD // Coleman // Zinch

      Salah // Moura // Siggy // Perez

      King // Auba // Ings

      Leno // Willock // Diop // Kelly

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Nice....where would you spend my 0.5ITB?

    4. Doubter2Believer
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If you swap Button with Pope, you would have 2 perfectly rotating GK’s and Burnley have a better fixture to begin with than Villa

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers....will look at that.....GL
