    Captain Auba (AVL) or KDB (WAT)...

    1. AllINeedIsCoffee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Auba.

    2. Wiseguy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Auba. I’m gonna be watching behind the sofa as I don’t own and can’t get him in

    3. thepuntmaster

      Cheers both, seemed logical but worried after the midweek mins.

    4. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Auba

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Villa decent at defending, i'd go KDB

    6. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I'm going KDB but if I had him, possibly Auba. It's tough, Villa are looking ok at the back and Auba played 90 minutes in the Europa, that's what would put me off.

  2. AllINeedIsCoffee

    Is Jamal Lewis (NOR, left wing) a potentially overlooked 4.5 defensive option?

    People seem to dismiss Norwich for their defense in the opening weeks but let's not forget that they faced Liverpool, Chelsea and City so far. Conceded last minute goal vs. Newcastle and then two vs. in form Haller & co at WHU.

    Norwich fixtures not too bad ahead. There's surely assist potential as-well there. Potential to be made or are there simply better 4.5ms there to consider? (I already have Soy for instance). His stats so far are on pair with Mings.

    1. Ando
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Norwich's defence is a no go.

    2. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Him or Hanley could be both decent enablers in the current landscape

      1. AllINeedIsCoffee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Interesting you mention Hanley. He hasn't played for the last couple of games though.

    3. Low Flying Hamster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I think so. Defence is giving me a headache at the moment - it seems like a toss up between looking for expensive defenders who can give you attacking returns or taking a few punts on cheaper ones. He seems a really good option at 4.5m and vs. say Walker at 6.0m who also doesn't seem to be able to keep clean sheets...what would you be missing out with Lewis?

      1. AllINeedIsCoffee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        I personally am going for Pukki, Haller and Abraham next week (Barnes -> Abraham) if everything goes to plan. That means I have to drop Zinch to someone to rotate with Soy and Lundstram and Soy is already there to cover Digne next week so yeah, for people in my position I think this might be a loop hole for those who're not going for 3 premium defenders.

        I'm concerned with their poor defense, just like everyone else. But what better alternatives are there really? Underlying stats are great compared to same priced alternatives and fixtures looking okay. Norwich should only be scoring more goals from here on and as a winger he should be taking part every now and then.

        I'm not sold on this idea just yet but totally wanted to throw it out there.

    Any changes needed here? 1FT 1.5 ITB

    Pope / Button
    VVD Zinchenko Coleman Lundstram Montoya
    Salah Sterling KDB James Dendocker
    Wilson Pukki Greenwood

    Considering....

    A) Save FT > Coleman, Greenwood > Rico, Abraham next gw
    B) Dendocker > Cantwell
    C) Smth else

    1. Wiseguy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      A

  5. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Ayew is the equivalent of Cantwell as a third forward

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Ewwwwww

  6. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Very tempting to get rid of sterling and get son.
    I don't think so he will play.
    And if I can't captain a 12m player why should I have him?

    1. Wiseguy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I see your point. To a view point beyond this gw and see if you feel different. If not, sell him

      1. Wiseguy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Take*

      2. Peter Ouch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Long term he will deliver points but I think he won't even start. I can't afford losing more and more points

  7. Baltic Revolution
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Sterling or KDB for (C) ...really struggling with this...

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Kdb

    2. KGFC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Feel Ster may not start...

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Why wouldn't he?

    3. Wiseguy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Sterling..

    4. Desert Phoenix
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Kdb, but both will start I feel

  8. KGFC
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Alright then, a new version of my WC draft. How does this look?

    Pope Button
    Digne TAA Ward Lunds Rico
    Mane KDB Son Mount Hayden
    Vardy Abram Pukki

    1.5 ITB

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Vardy?
      Nah, go Wilson and upgrade your hayden

      1. KGFC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Vardy has 3 home games in next 4. Plus he's more of a PL proven scorer and on pens. Happy to have him over Wilson. Can upgrade Hayden with cash ITB but 5th mid will be bench fodder only, so don't see the need of putting extra money in bench. Thanks!

        1. Peter Ouch
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          Do you think he's worth 8.9?
          He's a striker, he needs at least 2 goals to return double digit.

          Maybe upgrade your ward.

          But if you are happy with Vardy then keep him!

          1. KGFC
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 25 days ago

            Isn't that true for every forward? And yes, I think he is worth it given his past record, Roger's attacking philosophy and City's fixture swing.

            For Ward, I'm looking to take a punt on AMN.

            1. Peter Ouch
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 25 days ago

              Fair points mate!
              I am not really a fan of expensive or more than 8.0 strikers.

              1. KGFC
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 25 days ago

                Thanks and GL!

        2. Desert Phoenix
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          I went Vardy, Wilson & Pukki

    2. MR Penquin
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I preferred your other WC draft

      Salah Mane KDB Son Mount
      Abram Pukki

      1. KGFC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        I was on that till now but just thought:

        1. Salah + 4.4 = 16.9
        2. TAA + Vardy = 16

        I think as a combo 2 wins plus I get 0.9 cash.

  11. Norman Conquest
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    looking at doing sterling and haller to kun(c) and either dilva or cantwell

    thoughts please

    1. MR Penquin
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I had David silva but transferred him out after he playing 56 mins with Norwich.
      Do you think he play enough minutes

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        not too sure anything can happen with pep roulette

  12. E25
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Depends on Mount injury but would be inclined to:

    A) Mount -> Cantwell, save transfer and go to 343 next week
    B) Mount, VVD, Greenwood -> Cantwell, Tammy, 5m def (-4)

    Ryan
    Digne Robbo VVD Zink
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount**
    Barnes Pukki

    Button / Lundstram Dendoncker Wickham
    2FT 0ITB

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    WC draft:

    Pope // Button
    Trent, Mings, Lowton // Lunds, Rico
    Sterling, Mount, Cantwell, Son, Mane
    Pukki, Aubameyang // Greenwood

    Bench and defense are much too thin, right?

  14. Schliegs
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Guilbert or Masuaku

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Very tough, which child do you like more?

      1. Schliegs
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Haven't seen either of them play this year but know Masuaku has been killing it so leaning that way

  15. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Which one?

    1) Kelly, Keane
    2) Sokratis, Aurier

    2 has really good fixtures and is a bit riskier but I think would reward me more.
    5.5M for a Everton defender seems like a lot

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I don't like either of those options, surely there's others?

  16. DF
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Sadly I need to play one of these:
    A Hayden
    B Guendouzi
    C Mings.
    Who would you start?

    1. Low Flying Hamster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      A

  17. Atwood
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Kyle Walker-Peters is fit again, but is he likely to regain his starting place or not?

    1. luk46
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Just transferred him out, pretty sure Aurier will keep his place for now!

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Hope not otherwise there goes Aurier

    3. DF
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Hmmm...he doesn't look nailed to me. Reckon he'll start at the weekend but Aurier will start some too.
      Are you tempted? I think there's better value a price point down with mings or lowton

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Definitely wouldn't get him in, it's just that I already have him

        1. DF
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          Right.

  18. FPL Laurenzo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone think Iwobi is a good transfer in for Mount?

    1. Schliegs
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      It's a marathon not a sprint pal, Mount is only out for a week, hold your little horses.

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        This ull want him bck next week

      2. FPL Laurenzo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        yah but my marathon includes getting rid of Mount and adding a third striker with Abraham. Funding partially with Mount so Iwobi is a consideration (as is Cantwell). Thoughts on Iwobi?

  19. Schliegs
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    A. Dendo > Mount
    B. Greenwood > Tammy
    C. Hold ft, wait out the liverpool game and take the price rise/fall on the chin like a man (will still easily be able to afford after)

    1. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Hold. Tough game for Tammy and tougher without Mount.

  20. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Are there any mids priced 7.0 max that have a greater points potential (in your opinion) than Robbo?

    1. Schliegs
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Buendia, Mount, Cantwell (for the next 5-6 weeks until fixtures change)

      1. Schliegs
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        and Mcneil

    2. 404_FC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      i go mount and cantwell

    3. THE Wild Rover

      That is a C) save ft, for me.

  24. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Really not fancying my team this week:

    Pope, Button

    TAA, Otamendi, Soyuncu / Lundstram, Mings

    Sterling(c), Salah, Mount*, KDB, McGinn

    Pukki, Haller / Greenwood

    1FT, 1.4 ITB...

    Save FT?

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I am considering Greenwood to Ayew in case Mount out

    2. Hubert
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Save

  25. Atwood
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone else considering a Palace defender, seem to have a nice few fixtures.

    1. THE Wild Rover

    Anyone considering Vardy on their WC? Has 3 home games out of next 4 and after the Pool game, pretty much a free run through to December.

    A) Play Zinchenko and downgrade next week to enable Abraham in. Not use any FTs.
    B) Trade Zincenko out now to use 1 of 2 FTs to enable Abraham in next week.
