  1. Rhodes your boat
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    On wc and trying to decide between

    A) mings
    B) tomori
    C) Diop

    Other defenders are taa soyuncu Lund Rico

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

      Mings.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Reasons?

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

          We're not sure yet on Tomori game time. I prefer Mings to Diop because I think he trends favourably for bonus points.

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      With the other defenders, has to be a guaranteed starter I think. Probably A

  2. BananaMan
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    On a wildcard..
    Mount or no Mount?

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I would bring him in if he is only out for 1 week, which seems to be the case currently

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      He's in my team and there is perfect cover in Cantwell. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

  3. Taco Juice
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Currently in a draft league. Which of these do you prefer? Thanks for the help!
    A) Eriksen David Silva Maddison Sigurdson James
    B) Salah David Silva Maddison Pedro Tielemans

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      The one with Salah

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

      I'm leaning B because of the upcoming fixtures.

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

        Not keen on the Pedro pick though.

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 25 days ago

          In fact I’d far rather have Salah and rotate on fixtures between poor long term players than have two of them

      2. Taco Juice
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Would any 2 of the following be worth getting rid of Salah for you?
        Martial, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Bernardo and Redmond.
        Basically a 2 for 1 swap

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 25 days ago

          Probably not but it’s closer as a result of no captain

    3. Taco Juice
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Haha, that's what I thought. Thanks

    4. Cookie Kid
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      A by a mile

    5. sw3nzor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Do not pick Eriksen. Idk you even watched Spurs games nowadays but every time on field looks like he left his brain home.

      1. sw3nzor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        If you can make it, stick to Son instead of, because he is popping atm.

    6. Taco Juice
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      So I'm the one trying to offload 2 mids to bring Salah in and have a spot for a rotating spot open. I don't want to screw this person over too badly though because they won't trade with me later if I do.

  4. Bat Man
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    Pope
    Alderweireld Pieters Lundstram
    Salah Sterling Mount Lanzini Cantwell
    Aguero Haller

    Adrian, Greenwood, Emerson, Kelly

    A. Save and hope one of my subs comes in for Mount (Emerson possibly fit)
    B. Kelly to Lascelles (Newcastle has bad fixtures, but I can bench him after this week)
    C. Anything else?

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

    Current WC draft:
    Pope, Button
    TAA, Otamendi, Lowton, Lundstram, Rico
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Pukki, Tammy, King

    1) Decent -- balance + formation options
    2) Lock in 352 -- Ota; Salah, Mount; King > Aurier; Mane, Son; Greenwood
    3) Get Auba -- but weak def/bench
    TIA!!

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Good team

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Good team, King is one I’m not sure about

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

        Not wrong. But that spot is 6.3 or less, if all other spots remain the same. Could downgrade to fodder and upgrade a defender, I suppose.

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Identical to mine except I have Mane + Wilson over Salah + King. So great team aside from that difference 😉

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

        Hadn't really considered that approach. I do like Wilson. Always nervous about dropping Salah, of course.

  6. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Help plz.. A or B?

    a. Hanley + McNeil + C.Wilson

    or

    b. Guibert + Mount + Barnes

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      B

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      B

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      B

  7. davies
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Which option?

    A) VVD Cantwell
    B) TAA Dendoncker

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Depends if second guy will be starting or benching. If you need to start, A.

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

        Rotating with Rico/Lundstram

        1. Bat Man
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          Then I would say B if Rico keeps his place, if not then I wouldn't want to be relying on starting Lundstram or Dendonck every week

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

          Surely you would play Cantwell most weeks ahead of those two.

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

            Yeah I guess so

        3. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          Rotating with Rico sounds ever so slightly optimistic 😉

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

      It depends if you want to play your 5th mid. If you do A and if you don't B.

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

        See above

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      B

  8. Burger_and_Chips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Captain options this week?

    Salah - (Currently swaying towards)
    KDB - Pep headache
    Kane - Good record against Leicester

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Mo

  9. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    ‘Go with your gut’ has given me 5 failed captaincies this season.

    I believe Sterling starts, but can’t be certain with Pep.

    Help me out please...

    A) Salah
    B) KdB
    C) Sterling

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      If it will keep your gut from turning, just go with KDB. I like Sterling, but if you want security of minutes, KDB safer

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      C

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Of those I think I might go Salah.

      Chelsea defence is currently what people expected Norwich to be - simply fewer injuries to use as excuses.

      KdB has 2 double digits at home already. He'd be my second choice.

      1. Hiddenpaw
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        I agree with this. Salah out of those.

      2. De Gea is GOAT
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Out of those its C for me. Is your captain Auba this week Pingi?

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          No have Kun but would prefer Auba really. Villa are conceding heaps of chances away - did even to Palace which isn't a great look really.

          1. De Gea is GOAT
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 25 days ago

            Kun will demolish WAT imo so good pick!I'm debating between Auba and Raz. Its killing me haha

            1. Moderately content penguin
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 25 days ago

              Auba for me there.

              Raz just looks a tad jaded after the IB imo. Also Auba gets GI almost no matter what now Laca is out whereas City do tend to share it around - even if their cake is bigger course.

              1. De Gea is GOAT
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 25 days ago

                Some excellent points there from both. Definitely not helping me decide though XD Thanks anyway guys and GL!

    4. Amey
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      When in doubt, go Mo © 😉

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

    thinking of transferring out salah for auba. opinions please

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      You surely have other things to do in your team with your transfers? I don't see Auba outscoring Salah by a huge amount to justify using 2 transfers to make this move

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

      No

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Depends on captaining Auba (really great call this week) on a consistent basis and how you use the cash. I

      f you can use the 1.5 or so well it makes good sense looking at form and fixtures and Laca out.

  11. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    For my draft team, would you prefer
    A: Gross
    B: Ozil

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Ozil

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      A

  12. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    On a Wc and trying to find my defenders, currently on Rico, Otamendi and Lundstram.

    Other two thinking of :
    AMN/Kolasinac and Aurier

    But they are not 100% nailed right?

    Cheers

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Not a good idea imo

  13. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    RP. All gtg here? Think I’m going to save and have a look at 1 or 2 of Auba/Son/Abraham next week on a mini wc

    Pope
    TAA Montoya Lundstrum
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount* Cantwell
    Aguero (c) Pukki

    Button Soyuncu Pieters Wickham (1FT 0m itb)

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

      Sounds like a good plan, but think I'd rather have pieters come in instead of soyuncu this week.

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Not sure about having Pieters 1st with Pope in goals and double Norwich attack

    2. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Yep, save. Agree with below Pieters first sub

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

    Mount replacement:
    A) Ceballos
    B) McNeil
    C) Cantwell
    D) Buendia
    E) Iwobi
    F) Keep and play Dendoncker
    G) Other?

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

      F

  15. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    A) Mane + 4.9 defender
    B) Pepe + TAA

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

      A.

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

      Pepe hasn't done enough to to be worth a place in your team. I wouldn't get him if he were 6m. Better options out there.

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        That is true. Maybe trying too hard to get ahead of the curve. I'm sure he'll come good, but maybe not yet.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      This Pepe guy need a lot of convincing.. So sloppy in front of goal.

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Mane + Soyuncu

  16. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Play Heaton or Pope?
    Start Rico or Dendoncker

    Thanks!

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Pope Rico

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        This is what my team is currently on - thanks

  17. Bat Man
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Re post, help please!

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    Pope
    Alderweireld Pieters Lundstram
    Salah Sterling Mount Lanzini Cantwell
    Aguero Haller

    Adrian, Greenwood, Emerson, Kelly

    A. Save and hope one of my subs comes in for Mount (Emerson possibly fit)
    B. Kelly to Lascelles (Newcastle has bad fixtures, but I can bench him after this week)
    C. Anything else?

  18. fridge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    2FT, 0 ITB

    Thinking maybe Jota > Abraham
    Anything you would do with the 2FT?

    Pope
    VVD. Zinc. Coleman.
    Mount. Salah. Sterling. KDB
    Pukki. Haller. Jota

    Button. Lundstram. Donker. Montoya

    1. Bat Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Nope. Jota to Abraham looks a great move

  19. Typo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Might take my first hit of the season.

    Martial and wickham for Cantwell and Barnes..

    This secures me 11 players this week.

    What do you think?

    1. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      When a -4 turns two 0s in at least 2 2s then its no-brainer isn't it? No downside, only upside.

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

      Both have good fixtures so good moves for medium term. I'd say it's worth the hit with it getting you an 11.

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

      Thanks guys

  20. jia you
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Strange to have such interest in the BUR V NOR game!
    I've 5 assets in squad, 4 in my starting XI if Mount's out...At least bar Pope they are all attackers so can hope for a goal fest and off the charts save points 🙂

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Saturday 10pm (Shanghai time)
      MateS: you out for pints?
      Me: no chance, Burley v Norwich is on.
      Mates: WTF?!?!

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      I’ll be watching the Bur-Nor game on Saturday lmao. Can’t be bothered to watch my MCity captain blank

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      A Burnley goal fest? 🙂

      That's even more optimistic than last weeks call.

  21. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone besides me going with Captain De Bruyne?

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 25 days ago

      Only clowns that have sold Sterling or fear a benching I guess 😉

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

        I do fear a bench. Sterling will either start from bench or play 70mins at most, and last 2 times even 90mins wasnt enough for points

        1. jia you
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 25 days ago

          ...the mickey mouse cup is on next week so that's when he'll get his rest I reckon. I'd be shocked if he wasnt in the starting line-up v WAT tbh

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        Oh you now sound exactly like a Mo groupie from last season. Poor you

    Dont quite have the guts to sell Sterling on a WC. Figure its safer to keep for this week and if things dont work out, then sell and spread the funds. Possibly Lowton+Sterling->DeBruyne+Otamendi

    Gunn
    TAA Rico Lundstram
    Sterling Mane Son Cantwell
    Aubameyang Abraham Pukku

    Woodman Guilbert Lowton Nakamba

    0.0m ITB // WC active.

    Goood luck all!!!!

      Team is very similar and I'm on a WC as well.

      Went Kun + KDB instead of your Auba + Sterling.

    Rank these transfers in terms of urgency...

    A) Ceballos > Son
    B) Dendoncker > Cantwell
    C) VVD > TAA
