    Lamela (looking sharp pre season) good differential or McGinn?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lamela is crazy
      Go Mcginn

  4. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Perez+ Adams/Ings
    B) Barkley+6.5 fws

  5. james 101
    • 12 Years

    Which forward would you select up to 6.5m?

    Pope
    VVD Robbo MaGuire
    Salah Sterling Fraser Perez Zaha
    Wilson XXX
    (Button Nketiah Lunds Kelly)

    A. King
    B. Jota

    D. Wood
    E. Other?

    1. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      King, Jota, Wood.
      With your team, maybe Wood.

    Thoughts on this team? (0.5ib)

    Pope
    Robbo VVD Zinchenko Coleman
    Salah Sterling KDB Robinson
    Wilson King

    I can easily switch KDB to Pepe/Son, and if Kane goes crazy I can easily switch KDB & Wilson -> Kane & Perez

    In your opinion who is the best 6.0 ST to have for the first few GWs and are they currently in your team or not?

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      Murray

    2. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      ings,adams, mixed fixtures
      jay rod, wesley
      none in team at moment

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ings

      The fixtures are all the wrong way round of course but he's the class of the field and rates among the 6.5s imo. Southampton I would take as a team to score at home against big boys and away in more friendly fixtures.

    *site's messing up for myself atm

    But trying to respond further on the 5.5 v 2 x 4.5s, I'd always favour the 5.5

    1. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Me too.
      I'm going to stop commenting until there is a new article.
      Every refresh screws it up.
      Think it's all the sections of article loading.

    2. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I would favour 5.5 also.

    thoughts please
    A mcginn
    B robinson
    robinson seems to be playing more forward role. che liv eve ars in first nine
    mcginn has better fixtures, only tot an ars in first nine

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      How long do you expect to hold?

      1. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        maybe mcginn for fixtures, could play most weeks
        city an pool gw 10 &11, can bench, re-asses? cheers

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I switched from McGinn to Robinson because McGinn gets loads of yellow cards.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Championship is very physical league

  13. sovietrockettes

    Anything obvious that I can do to improve this squad for G1? Thank you!

    Just a quick one,

    A. VVD and Barkley/another 6m mid

    anyone play the telegraph game? worth it? what are the differences?

  18. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Mad to go double EVE defence?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      yep i think so

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I think so yes until we see the affect of the departures

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No, all things considered. Both advancing FBs and Mina/Keane/Pickford have other elements in their respective lockers too

  19. Alexon00
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    No one playa with 5 defenders???

  20. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    best set and forget 4.5M keeper

    thinking Ryan for the opening fixtures?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Pope or Heaton.

      Brighton are trash

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Heaton could get stuffed v spurs though and arent villa trash ?

        pope with horrible opening fixtures...

        tricky one, cheers for the feedback though

      2. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How do you know this even before a ball has been kicked?

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          well i mean realistically a newly promoted side versus a champions league finalist team who have reinforced their squad even further... sounds like a drubbing to me...

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            No I was referring to BRI

            1. @fpl_phenom
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks ok if Abraham is nailed.

      Do your 4.5 defenders rotate well?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        i think burnley and villa rotate all season. thanks for reply.
        ps : not sure about abraham but have a good feeling 🙂

    A, VVD
    B, Robbo

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You've got your order right there mate - Laporte would have been 1 if not for the injury

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I think Laporte is fine, so if all fit it’s digne who misses out?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      isnt laporte a doubt ???
