        I’m mega knackered... you’re gonna have to explain?!

          Allo Allo

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Idiot! Of course 😆

  2. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Martinelli G, Tierney A

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      The next bandwagons.

  3. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Tierney in for Digne or Ota eh

    1. Freaki
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tierney the cheap Robbo/Trent?

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Digne yes, ota no

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Recon he won't be an option until after the international break.

    4. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t go near him for now

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He nailed?
      Might get him myself but Arsenal dont do cleanies

  4. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Martinelli G, Nelson A

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Is Martinelli 100% nailed?

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        In EL, yes.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        In the PL? Definitely not.

        1. Poseidon.
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Ok thanks both

  5. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of getting Saka in, but I guess he'll only have a place till Laca is back?

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, can't see him as a starter once Laca is back. Considering him as a short term punt.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      he has a chance of being ahead of Pepe. Pepe was subbed first against United

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I actually think they'll give Pépé time to improve. Saka might be an impact sub once Laca is back though.

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          maybe. Arsenal fans are starting to doubt Emery though, so you'd imagine he wont give Pepe unlimited starts to prove himself while Saka outplays him week in week out when he starts.

          Plus, there's a chance Laca doesn't see many minutes this season, so Auba can play striker all season, leaving Saka with little competition. Wouldn't be surprised if Laca is out in the summer with this Martinelli kid providing back up

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Emeryout is already a thing, so doubts re. Emery has been present for a while already.…

            It's just as possible that all what you write here happens. I'm just basing my thoughts re. Pépé on comments by Emery – which we know isn't much to base something on at all. It's everyone's guess. There's no denying Saka's current form and potential though. Ljungberg is working wonders with the youngsters.

  6. In and Out
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Alonso is definitely about to blow

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Disgusting

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Arsenals' youngsters > Chelseas' youngsters

    1. Smelbow
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lille > S.Liege

  8. Freaki
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Tierney again doing bits again! 3-0!

  9. In a Rush
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    My midfield in a bit of a mess and not sure what to do!

    Cantwell - rumoured to be injured
    Kdb - injured
    Ceballos - playing tonight and not getting points even when he does play.

    1ft 0.2 Itb
    Full team
    Pope
    Taa Otamendi fredricks
    Salah sterling kdb* Cantwell*
    Haller Pukki Abraham

    McGovern lundstram Ceballos Söyüncü
    Any ideas welcome
    Maybe Ceballos ➡️ Someone max 5.8 Saka maybe

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Cantwell is fit for this weekend playing against a shocking defence

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Is that confirmed?

      2. Party time
        6 years, 9 months ago

        You 100% sure cantwell is fit?

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Fake news

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ceballos to McGinn

  10. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Pope
    Robertson Trent Otamendi
    Mount Cantwell Salah Sterling C Son
    Pukki Abraham

    Lundstrum Mings Greenwood

    Gtg?

    Greenwood and Son to Wilson/Yarmolenko next week, would leave 0.5 itb... I’m keeping the 2 Liverpool Wing Backs

    1. In a Rush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes good to go

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sure you don’t want to ditch Robbo with these fixtures?

      1. onceuponatyne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        People keep saying that about the Liverpool fixtures, but who's the big deal?
        Leicester are good, but not as good as my woeful NUFC side would make 'em look.
        Spurs and Man Utd are both gash... Man City after that, admittedly, are excellent.

        I see Liverpool doing ace in those games.

        1. Warby84
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Both have huge potential and Robbo only 4 behind Trent in terms of points.. Leicester Utd and Tottenham not sure they are that difficult, toughest test is this weekend..

          1. In and Out
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            I can see Liverpool winning all those games but Leicester and Spurs likely to score

    3. acidicleo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I have trent and robbo as well..
      Not sure of returns vs Leicester..
      Debating shipping out robbo or may save ft for IB..

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Robertson + Trent will do wonders. They are no different than the players they were last season, just need to be patient with the Clean sheets then they are the best defs in the game by far

      1. acidicleo
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Trent is essential..huge potential for attacking returns..

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Don't stop now Arsenal...need to get 7 to rub more salt into Spurs wounds.

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely!

  12. Lestat
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    anyone without sterling this weekend who can only get him in with a 4 pt hit?..and is it worth it?

    Im one of those with the KDB/Aguero combo.

    1. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Me to but I’m confident of Aguero staring and will cap him.

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Must have for this weekend

    3. acidicleo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero best cap at home..

    4. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think Sterling will get more than 4 points if that's what you are asking.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He could blank, he could hattrick, he could get injured, he could be taken off after 55 minutes, he could get sent off, and everything in between - as per every weekend

      Probably a good pick, mind you, as he’s certainly “due” in the traditional sense of the word, having failed to deliver points at pretty much every turn so far when expected of him season to date

  13. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this wct guys?

    Pope/4.0
    Taa Ota Lundstram Diop Rico
    Salah Sterling Mount McGinn Donker
    Auba C Wilson Tammy

    1. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I like it, only miss a Leicester player like madison or Vardy but hat to squeeze everyone in

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I may switch out to Vardy after Laca is back

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

      Looks great

    3. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd get Soy or Tomori instead of Diop

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I’m 0.1 short otherwise I would be on Soy

    4. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I’m plotting Mount to Maddison next week

    5. De Gea is GOAT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Excellent team!

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate

    6. Alberto Tomba
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good, though I think wilson is a temporary (Haller, Pukki, Barnes and the rest) type.
      I'd put in Vardy, and Soy in for TAA - lfc just aren't going to keen any cleanies any time soon, especially as our fixtures have turned. On the same sentiment, I'd swap Salah out for Son.
      I'd also also have Tomori instead of Rico, who may be replaced by Kelly who was a big signing this summer.

    7. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I am 1.1m off this team! whats your TV?

      I dont have mount, so that is prob a large portion of it!

  14. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    That Ceballos pass to the stands...

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    What would you do here?

    use or save 1FT? 0.0itb

    Pope
    Otamendi - VVD - Robbo - Lunds
    Salah - Mount - Kdb - Sterling
    Pukki - Tammy

    Subs: Soy - Dendonker - Wickham

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Save, dendo 1st sub

  16. Teomi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Have 2 ft this gw.

    Thinking about to do kdb Greenwood out and saka Abraham in.
    Have no value tied up in kdb so can get him back after ib)

    Would leave me with this team:
    Pope
    Robbo Ota lund (Rico soy)
    Salah son mount saka (Cantwell)
    Aguero Abraham pukki

    Gtg?

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Good moves into

  17. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Pope, heaton
    Vvd, soyuncu, montoya, (Rico, aurier*)
    Salah, sterling, Mount, Dendoncker, (kdb*)
    Abraham, pukki, Haller

    1 free transfer, 0 itb....defence is looking shocking this week.

    A) Do i WC this gw? [Salah, VVD, Montoya, Heaton, KDB, Haller out -> Son, TAA, Auba, Maddison, cheapies in]
    B) Or wait until IB to WC?
    C) Or save WC for closer to xmas.
    D) Aurier out this week
    E) Other

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Dendo->saka and WC next week

  18. YEAH PITCH!
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    KDB > Mahrez

    Good or bad move in your opinion?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Bad. Mahrez might not start and KDB might only miss one GW.

    2. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on who you are moving out to bring KDB back in for in a couple of weeks.

    3. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      As long as we are sure kdb is out and you won’t lose to much value in the move it’s worth a try. You will want kdb back after ib anyway

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks all. Appreciate it.

    4. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      It’s not certain if Mahrez will start but if he does and get some good returns...I can see him going up in price 0.2 at least from today until end of IB...also if KDB goes “red” I wouldn’t be surprised if he drops 0.2 in same period...

  19. balint84
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    A) Zinch to Ota + Aurier to Tomori
    B) just Aurier to Tomori
    C) Aurier to Söyüncü despite Liverpool

    1. acidicleo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      B

  20. wildnothing
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think Agüero will start on sunday?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, Jesus going away on national team. Aguero is not.

    3. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah

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

    From next gamewek - any of thee worth droping for Vardy?
    Abraham, Pukki, Wilson

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pukki or Wilson.

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

      Pukki, Abraham, Wilson in that order
      although would be very hesitant to drop any of them, I think that is the best frontline you can get and will offer better value than Vardy or Aubameyang imo

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pukki IMO.

      Abraham has fab fixtures. Wilson has two of the best fixtures after Arsenal (+ has a decent record vs them anyway).

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I have Wilson and I'm sure going to hold until after those fixtures.

    4. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn’t

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I have those three and I'm not dropping 'em before GW13, except if someone's injured or Pukki stats drop to Barnes levels

    6. fc_skrald
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all. Will likely hold them all

  22. Kuzser
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    So seems Saka is nailed to start this weekend. As KDB will most likely miss the game, which option is better

    1) Hayden-> Saka
    2) save ft, accept Soy stepping it for KDB

    Pope
    lundstram Ota Taa
    KDB Mount Son Sterling
    Pukki Abraham Firmino

    Button. Soy, Hayden, Hanley

    1. Teomi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I’m tempted by the saka move even if he risks losing his place when laca is back

  23. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Why are people here thinks that Son can't match KDB?

    1. DF
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Neither he nor spurs are as good as kdb or city.

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He is more of a goal threat and a goal is nearly equal to two assists no?

      2. puhd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Good answer

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'm pretty sure Son will outscore him this weekend at least.

  24. TAT
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Is it crazy to consider a United def? Far from the worst run of fixtures after Liverpool.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Even a cheeky AWB transfer…?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Man Utd look terrible in defence.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Well, not just defence.

            1. TAT
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              But the fixtures do look decent though. I mean, if they are going to keep CS's, it's likely to be in that run of games.

              1. Epic Fail
                • 16 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                Go for it if you don't think they're crap, which they are.

                1. TAT
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  It's risky, that's for sure. Just one of several punts I'm looking at going forward. Probably not the most likely one though.

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

      Well they can't score, so if United keep a CS you're almost guaranteed BAPs.

      (Too bad they can't keep a CS though...)

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That run of fixtures though…

      Just stay away from any UTD assets. No sooner you get one in then you will be regretting it waste FT's getting them out.

        Maybe, but I can't help looking at those fixtures. Ownership in mini leagues also a factor.

      You sound pretty convinced, so go for it 🙂

      Would take a lot to convince me to consider any Man U asset though

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Oh, I'm far from convinced! It's just looking at those fixtures that makes me think if there's something to be gained from bringing in a United def.

          Great fixtures don't make a bad team great

            No, of course not. But maybe when Martial is back (and fit), we might see more positive signs from United?

            It might just be me tinkering a tad too much with my team though…

              Yup. You're overmanaging

                Happened many times before!

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years

    My transfers this week were going to be Salah,Barnes > Yarmolenko,Aubamayang but thinking maybe KDB,Barnes > Yarmolenko,Aubamayang instead with the option of Salah > KDB later.

    Will mean I can’t get Vardy in for Pukki in 9 though.

      same boat as me. Looks great on paper for this week!

    Arsenal’s kids look the biz

    3:0 at half time, not bad eh. It's nice having full backs who can actually cross the ball. Tierney could be wonderful fpl pick in the future.

      3/4 of Arsenal’s best back four are starting tonight finally

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Actually 4/4 so far this season

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 8 Years

          Agreed. Hes been Solid

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Bellerin has looked okay. Cant help but feel hes too small to actually become one of the best in the league

  30. Saro0808

    Adrian
    Alonso Lundstram matip
    McGinn son kbd salah
    Abraham Pukki Aguero

    Bench : cantwell,kelly,Rico
    Bank : 0.3m and 1ft

    So confused after kdb( was planning to captain him) injury,now cantwell was the perfect backup for this week,as I thinking drop augero (as he played champions league,possible rotation to Jesus)to Aubameyang or Adrian to a goalkeeper ( as liverpool fixtures becomes hard )
    Any suggestions ? Who to caption?
