    Repost, price changes are approaching and it's a tough call

    A. Dendo > Mount catch 0.2m price change
    B. Greenwood > Tammy catch 0.1m price change
    C. Hold ft, wait out the liverpool game and take the price rise/fall

    1. AllINeedIsCoffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably B.

      1. Schliegs
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think i'm going to hold, if in doubt hold right? haha

        1. AllINeedIsCoffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Depends. If you can play Abraham over some trash this weekend then B is your go to option. Then C. Mount is not essential right now.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      At this point before the presser I think transfering in a player who is flagged is too risky so B.

  2. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anybody else captaining KDB over Sterling?

    1. AllINeedIsCoffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep -got both- think KDB definitely starts but there is a ? over Sterling.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, I smell a sterling haul with all this rotation talk. They've got a cup game for him to rest in and can't afford to drop any more points, so I'm certain he'll start and i'm captaining him as of now.

  3. AllINeedIsCoffee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How are you getting Zinchenko out?

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      as in who to bring in?

      1. AllINeedIsCoffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. I'm looking at 5m or below alternatives, that can be rotated with the likes of Leicester or Sheffield if needed.

        I own Soy and Lundstram already, personally, for rotation possibilities. Need another one to be the primary player to play.

        1. Schliegs
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'd go with Lowton mate, I like Lowton, Masuaku and Guilbert but Lowton rotates best with your pair.

          1. AllINeedIsCoffee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah Ive been
            considering Burnley, would be tempted to splash extra 0.2 for Pieters if it comes down to them.

            1. Schliegs
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I crunched some stats and Lowton is arguably better

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start 1

    A. Cantwell
    B. Rico
    C. Lundstram

    1. AllINeedIsCoffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A easy.

    2. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. Norman Conquest

      C

  5. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Soy or Rico first on the bench in case Mount misses out?

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rico

    2. AllINeedIsCoffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rico

  6. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    play james or mount?

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount

  7. KayserSoze
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope
    TAA Digne Lund
    Mount KDB Sterling Salah
    Pukki Barnes Haller
    (4.0 Cantwell Soy Rico)

    2FT and 0.0 ITB

    Tammy looks like rising again.
    What options to get him in?
    A) Barnes->Tammy, Mount->McGinn or any other mid below 5.6
    B) Barnes->Tammy, Digne-> AMN/Ota or any other def below 5.4. Dropping Digne this week doesnt look good.
    C) Any other ideas

    I am fine with playing Cantwell as the 4th mid for next few games.
    TIA!

    1. ChinaCraig6
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That was my EXACT team

      I did Haller to Abraham save the other FT
      Bench Mount for Cant

      1. KayserSoze
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Considering that as well - Just that dropping Haller doesnt look correct but then you cannot have them all!

  8. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Dendocker > Cantwell yay or nay?

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years

          eeeee haha

          if Mount is confirmed out im lacking cover... do you think KWP to someone or just go with Dendoncker as my backup

          1. Mr Peanutbutter
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I think dendo since mount will only be out 1 week

      2. Hinchcliffe Thumper

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years

    Likely to WC in a few GW's.

    Ryan.
    Robertson, Coleman, VVD.
    Sterling, Cantwell, KDB, Ceballos, Salah.
    Pukki, King.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    1FT, 2.0m ITB.

    1. Coleman -> Digne.
    2. Salah + King-> Son + Auba (-4).
    3. Save FT.
    4. WC.

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years

      1

    2. Eleven Hag

      VvD Wickham to Rico tamny

  12. Who Ate All Depays?

    Pope
    TAA, Digne, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell
    Aguero, Pukki, Haller
    (Button, Luiz, Mings, Kelly)

    Any suggestions with 2FT and 0.3m itb?

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get rid of Luiz?

  13. timlopez
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Kane + Sterling > Son and Aguero worth a -4? The cash it will save me will enable Kelly > TAA next week...

    I know Sterling is well overdue, but the latter two clearly have the form. Will move Kane on regardless.

  14. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    It's martial day folks

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      source?

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just hoping 🙂

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, it's coming.
      I like to read George Orwell.

  15. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    2FT
    Dendo->Iwobi or Rodri
    Barnes->Ayew

    Yes/No?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cantwell?

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Then may Deb to cantwell transfer

          1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Not for me.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              You don’t want Cantwell because you don’t rate Norwich(?), but want to sell Barnes playing against Norwich?

              1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I have Pukki, and it's enough. The whole move would be about balance in my team and shifting to 3-5-2 formation. This is one option i have what im asking above.

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Are you shifting to a 352 because you’re worried about Dendoncker dropping by 0.1m?

                  I don’t understand why you aren’t giving Barnes time when Burnley’s fixtures now turn for the better.

                  1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Most likely i dont do any transfers and just bank my 2FT. This was just yes/no type of survey about that move 🙂

    2. Mr Peanutbutter
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer the 2 you have

  16. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wud Captaining Auba over Sterling be sensible?

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Mr Peanutbutter
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      logical

  17. Aukolofa
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC - would it be crazy to change
    Digne/Raz/Wilson to Guilbert/Son/Kun (C)??

  18. Scout15
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Haller -> Tammy
    Yes or no?

    1. Mr Peanutbutter
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      no

  19. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope (heaton)
    AWB TAA lund (pieters kelly)
    Sterling kdb mount* ceballos (cantwell)
    Kun pukki heller
    1ft, 2.0

    A mount /heller to 4.5 /Auba
    B sterling / heller to son / auba
    C awb to maitland-niles

  20. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Value for money. Which one on a wildcard?

    1) Mount (can bench for a week)
    2) Richarlison
    3) Cantwell

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      can still field a good team with Richarlison*

    2. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Value for money is easily Cantwell

  21. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If I get Auba on WC, I'm looking at a pretty weak defense and bench, but solid midfield. Is that worth it, though?

    Pope (Button)
    Trent, Mings, Lowton (Lundstram, Rico)
    Sterling, Mount, Cantwell, Son, Mane
    Pukki, Aubameyang (Greenwood)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same dilemma here, really want Auba this week but weakens defence considerably!!

  22. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling on -98.8% to a drop

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Might sell before deadline.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Zaha has 3 nice fixtures 😉

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Burn the witch!

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Was just planning future moves and I’m 0.1m off Maguire + Ceballos + Firmino to TAA + Zaha + Abraham 😯

  23. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ugh.

    1. KWP >> Rico
    2. play Dendonker and save

    Thanks

    Price Changes - 20th September 2019

    🔺  Vestergaard (5.2)

    🔻  Sterling (12.2), Jonny (5.4), Jota (6.2), Adams (5.7), Osborn (4.8), Ajeti (5.8)

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling :0

    2. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Aha he didn't rise.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Have we seen a double rise in a gameweek? Pukki? Wondering if they have the thresholds right for the second 0.1m.

        I think a lot of people might be tempted to get Abraham in after the deadline tomorrow before he’s even played.

        1. tucaoneo
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          More headache!

        2. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I might get Abraham before he plays just because I have perfect money to get him. Any price changes would scupper that plan right off

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The worm has turned!

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling before Watford at home, well booger me.

      1. Mordor F.C.
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think some have gone aguero over Sterling. Thinking about that my selves

    5. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No Abraham rise is a huge sigh of relief here. Have perfect money to go Dilva + Greenwood --> Cantwell + Abraham

      Thanks Rainy!

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You'll do it before they play?

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Honestly tempted. Might do if Abraham or Cantwell are due to rise tomorrow night after the game. Other plan is to go Dilva + Barnes --> Mount + Pukki if priced out of Cantwell + Abraham and stick with 352 instead of going to 343

    6. jia you

        This...

        I was toying with giving hm the C, now its for certain

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He looks a great captain pick this week but I'm going with the lesser owner Aguero!

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Me too. I don't expect Sterling to play another 90 minutes, but Kun prob will. But selling Raz???? Nutters. He'll be rested midweek in the Carabou and be fresh for next GW.

        Sorry it's still there 98.9

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          -98.9 obviously

    9. waldo666

      Grrr Jota. Cheers, Rainy.

    10. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That drop makes it tempting to give him the armband from KDB.

    11. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ha sterling dropped, epic

    12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Oh no they didn’t!

      Sterling drops before Watford home... seen it all now

    13. Santigold
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vestergaard getting a second price rise and Sterling dropping in price before a home match with Watford. What is the world coming to...

    14. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      oh my Sterling dropped.

  25. MOZIL
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Play Rico or Lundstram?

    1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like Lund

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Defensively not inspiring. Go for potential offensive return. Lunds.

  26. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    • 8 Years

    Is premium forward in squad a must?

    I think there're enough good midpriced forwards, that i dont have any premium attackers in my team. I invest heavily on midfield thou.

        But auba looks mighty tasty from wk 8

          So does Haller and Abraham though...

            Abraham yes, Haller, I'm not sold on personally

          This got me asking. Why do you run after way more expensive players when you could have seemingly unstoppable or at least great cheaper players.

            Because I think they'll score more points

              Who do you think would score more from gw 8 say over 10 weeks?

              A} vardy + mount or
              b) auba + cantwell

      No, more and more people are now having one as auba and aguero look like great options but with the likes of Pukki and Abraham around, it isn't a must.

        Hear hear.

      I wouldn’t be upset with Pukki, Abraham, Haller.

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper

        Pukki, Abraham, Barnes here.

          plannig to go Barnes Abraham and Haller next week!

    Is there any validity in a - 8 to do Otamendi, (s)terling and Haller to Soyunku, son & (a)uba?

    Sterling is owned by near half the game so losing him could help me gain an advantage after a poor start, I'm losing confidence in captaining him after back to back blanks, I have KDB to cover city & I feel like the trio I'm bringing in score more in the next 3-4 gws anyway.

      Losing Sterling for -8 is a bad idea tbh.

        Fairs, trying to look for opportunities to catch up but I have to be careful not to put myself further behind with unneccessarily risky moves. Cheers for the reply.

      I wouldn't lose Sterling. And no way by taking a hit for it!

    No reason why I shouldn’t bring in Pieters and Barnes ie rotation risk/benched?

    1. Schliegs

      NO they're very nailed

    Worth doing Ceballos to Cantwell for free? Would be playing each week.

      I think so. I’m rapidly running out of patience with Ceballos. He has a stay of execution as Mount is likely to be out, but have been looking at alternatives.

        I'm just trying to decide if it's worth keeping him for those run of fixtures.

      The latest article points out Ceballos is on dead balls v a side that's especially vulnerable to them.

    Sorry for repost but unsure of what to do. Best use of 2FT:

    Pope
    TAA VVD Digne Soyuncu
    Salah Sterling KDB Martial*
    Pukki Wesley

    (Button Lundy Cantwell Wickham)

    A) VVD > Rico, Martial > Son
    B) VVD > Rico, Wickham > Barnes
    C) VVD > Dunk, Wesley > Wilson
    D) VVD > Maitland-Niles, Wesley > Tammy
    E) Martial > McGinn, Wesley > Tammy

      I like A
      but it comes down to how you think Tammy will do long term.
