    I’ll be fuming if I finally bin Barnes for Tammy this week and the wrong one of them scores!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      You love a whinge tbf

        6 years, 9 months ago

        Only sometimes. I like to think I’m alright on here most of the rest of the time 🙁

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tammy over the next 5 weeks is a much better pick than Barnes regardless what happens this week

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I took pukki out for city

      And brought him straight back in

      Literally been fuming ever since

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

        Oh no! Glad I played him then, sheesh. Hard to predict tho ofc

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

          I’ve only my self to blame - took him out coz I didn’t think he’s get anything in those three and he lucked out in the city game I lost my nerve but ultimately I was right about the other two

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

      Think of it as a 4 week project..

  2. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Hows this looking for this week?

    Ryan
    TAA, Ota, Lund
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Abraham, Pukki
    Button l AWB, Greenwood, Soyuncu

    If KDB is out then I’m ok provided that Cantwell and AWB play otherwise I’m in trouble

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

      Gtg very nice team

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

        I think so but my OR would disagree!

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

          Lmao I feel that

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

    Pepe made the team noticeably worse after coming on at 65 for AMN.

    1. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Should've signed Hakim or Zaha instead

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

        Hakim would have been an unreal signing

        1. Party time
          6 years, 9 months ago

          🙂

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

            What a goal last night!

            1. Party time
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Magical 😉

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      The dude is not prem material

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

        Looks worse than gervinho if I'm brutally honest

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          At least he had a goal in him

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

            Gervinho probably would have costed upwards of 50m after that season at Lille, in the current market

            1. Party time
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I loved Gervinho at the time. Back then when I was a gooner lol. I would pick Gervinho over Pepe 🙂

  4. FPL Blow-In

    Arsenal clean sheet 😯

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tierney looks the part

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Wouldn’t mind getting him in for Aurier as a punt but he probable won’t play Sunday after 90mins tonight.

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

      I'll wait till he starts a game in the PL. Dont trust that fraud Emery.

  5. CFC1990
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Any recommendations?

    Pope
    Digne, Zinchenko, Robertson
    Mount, Sterling , KDB, Salah, Cantwell
    Pukki, Abraham

    4m, Greenwood, Soyunchu, Rico

    1FT 0.9 itb and WC

    If KDB out maybe him to Mahrez?

    Otherwise hold?

  6. Kizza_10
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Best Barnes & KDB replacements ?

    A. Wilson & Son

    B. Vardy & Mahrez

    C. Aubameyang & Yarmolenko

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A has an easy KDB back in route , but I really like , want and would say c

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        this

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Pope
    Digne TAA Otamendi
    Mount Sterling Salah KDB* Cantwell*
    Abraham Pukki
    Heaton-Lundstram-Rico-Gwood (1.1itb 1ft)
    Was planning an IB wildcard, so what's the best approach?
    A. Cantwell to Yarmolenko (up to 6m)
    B. Kdb to 10.8 (son/Mahrez)
    C. Save ft and look to avoid WC.
    D. Other.

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

      Why do you want to wildcard?

      My team is v similar to yours (see above) so interested in your thoughts.

      There really is nothing to suggest Cantwell is injured by the way

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I wanted to get ahead of the curve for Auba/Leicester etc and can't see a better time to use it other than the IB. I'm all ears though.
        Cheers on Cantwell - have only heard the rumours yesterday/early today.

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

          I’m considering using transfers to take Salah out for GW9-12 and getting Auba and Vardy in and then using WC in GW13 to get Salah/ double Liverpool defence

          Trouble is I’m pretty happy with our teams. Only real WC change I’d consider is basically Salah + a decent defender vs Auba & Vardy.

          From GW13 (and with Alison back) triple Liverpool will be key I think so WC now with no Liverpool makes that difficult

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

            I’ve got Soy and AWB over Digne and Rico but otherwise identical teams

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

      Similar team and situation did plan on WC but now actually thinking I may hold FT and WC

    As a fan, watching Arsenal in the EL makes me happier than watching them in the PL. Probably an indication where Arsenal are at in 2019, but at least you get some enjoyable Thursday night games.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Got to finish work early tonight and came to the pub to watch the games. I’m a united fan and it was terrible. Celtic and arsenal games were good though.

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

        I just don't understand United at the moment. Why get Ole instead of looking at a manager more suited to manage a club of that size? United have the money to get big players and should do better with their current squad as well. Surely it will sort itself out eventually.

        With Arsenal you know the next bad result is just around the corner, so you got to enjoy any good result.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          To be honest as much as Ole is out of his depth I don’t think Klopp or Pep would do much with that squad. Something is wrong there.

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

            Something is definitely wrong, and the squad isn't at United's standard. You have to question the transfer activity – especially since they didn't find a Lukaku replacement.

            Feels very familiar for us Arsenal fans though.

    2. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      against Standard Liege 🙂

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

        The kids played though. Same as last weeks beauty vs Frankfurt

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

        I know, I know. But this is where Arsenal are able to compete at the moment (on an international level). Got to take enjoyment from games like this.

        1. Party time
          6 years, 9 months ago

          True, hopefully the CL next season

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

            Hopefully – at least for the advantages of being in the CL brings. But if they manage CL next season they'll just end up facing Bayern anyway, and we know how that will end…

            1. Party time
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Spurs is a good example 😉

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

                Indeed! But this was Arsenal just a few years ago.

                1. Party time
                  6 years, 9 months ago

                  Hahaha

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

                    Bayern is an Arsenal nightmare. 🙁

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I always enjoy watching our 'youth' teams play, EL, or league cup. play with more freedom and cohesion and making an effort to prove themselves

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

        It looks like the youngsters are enjoying themselves too, which is a big positive. I just hope some of them will develop to be regulars in some years time.

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

      Just hope emery handles the Pepe situation carefully. I would am sure he is inclined to bench him now for Saka, martinelli or both

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

        Good point. The price tag will surely be a factor, so who knows how he'll manage it all. Hopefully Pépé will settle eventually. Even King Henry needed time, if I remember correctly.

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

          Henry never looked like a bad player. Just didnt have the finishing touch but the quality was there to see.

          Pepe looks like a dud.

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

            That's a good point, but he did well in France, so you'd imagine there's a reason for getting him. He needs time though.

  9. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'm gonna do KDB and Barnes to Yarmolenko and Auba this week with 2 FTs.
    Will get KDB back after IB if required and gives me this team. Anyone thing it's a crazy idea?!

    Pope
    TAA Otta Lunds
    Salah Sterling Yarmolenko Mount
    Auba Tammy Pukki
    Button Cantwell Rico Soyuncu

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Are you sure?

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

        yep. Can get KDB back for Salah and upgrade Pukki to Vardy next week

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Sounds like a good plan

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

            cheers. Could backfire with Salah but like all the other players like Auba and Vardy etc coming in!

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Seems good to me 🙂

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

    Would you do..

    A) TAA➡️Tomori to make this happen

    Mane➡️Sterling(have Kdb)
    Wilson➡️Auba

    OR..

    B) TAA➡️VVD

    Mane➡️Sterling
    Wilson➡️Vardy??

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I would not do TAA to VVD anyway. Anywhere else you could downgrade?

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

        Not really

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      not a fan of either

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

      No I wouldn’t tbh. Hang onto Wilson til after the Newcastle game given you have him already imo. Can you just do Mane to Raheem?

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

        Yes I can with 0.8 to spare.

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

      Nine. Why do you want to get rid of Callum Wilson?

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

        Coz u prefer Auba/Vardy for nxt few games..

    5. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      no

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

    Start lundy or tomori?

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

      Lundy

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

      Lundstram

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lunds

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

      I'd probably play Lund over him almost every week.

    5. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I envy your team if you're benching one of them.

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

        Im benching them Booth. One Will be 1st sub to cover Kdb. 😀

  12. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'm wildcarding next week and going without salah for a few weeks....1.1m rank so need to climb the ranks ...team will be something g like this....any views? Thanks

    Pope
    TAA Ota soy lunds rico
    Sterling kdb mount mcginn dendonk
    Auba vardy abraham

    Thanks

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

      If I were to wildcard over IB (which I may) my team would probably look similar. Not too sure on mcginn is the only one thing, given immediate fixtures

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

        Thanks. Yarmo is an option but not sure I'll have the cash.

        McGinn seems to deliver a steady trickle of points

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      This would be v close to the wildcard template now (only McGunn and Dendonker really up for debate).

      But it looks great until about GW12 but you are going to want Salah from then and there are more fixture swings - what then?

      It’s such a tricky decision when to WC if you still have it

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

        Thanks. I'll make a call at gw12 if I want Salah back ....

        I prob will and will aim to save an ft so I can get salah and lose auba....

  13. Roy Rovers
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Anything worth doing for this GW?

    Pope
    Otamendi VVD Lundstram
    Salah (vc) KDB Mount McGinn
    Aguero (c) Wilson Pukki.

    Button Cantwell Mings Rico

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      GTG, nice team

    2. Tim2012
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Gtg

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers to both.

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Go Kat!!

  15. Tim2012
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Aguero to Auba

    Yes or no?

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

      No.

      Hope that helps.

      1. Tim2012
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Surely Aguero has a rotation risk and Auba has great fixtures and sure to start.

        What am I missing

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

          Augero is the same rotation risk he has been all season. Nothing has changed.

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

            why is he a rotation risk with IB coming?

        2. Coys96
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Aguero better Goals per minute. He doesn't need 90 mins to score a few. Aguero next 3 out of 4 are lovely fixtures

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No unless you don't have any other captain options.

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

      If you can put the spare cash to use, I would.

  16. Coys96
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    1FT. Do I get Zinc out this GW or wait? if he doesn't feature Soy comes on.

    Kinda want 2FTs next GW to do Pukki + Haller -> Abraham + Wilson. (Unless Haller hauls this GW)

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nah, save you FT if no other issues.

  17. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Auba or Sterling captain?

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling. That extra point for goal + CS is mainly why

    2. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling, wolves worked bloody hard tonight and it’s a tight turnaround

    1.4 IDB
    1 FT

    Pope
    TAA, Ota, Lunds
    Salah, Sterling, KDB*, Cantwell
    Pukki, Haller, Tammy

    Button, Hayden**, Hanley, Soyuncu

    Initial plan was Salah+Haller to Son+Auba but after KDB's injury, Hayden's ban, Cantwell questionable and Hanley probably benched again, I think that this would work for now:

    KDB+Haller -> Yarmolenko+Auba(C) (-4)

    Y or N? thx!!

    Team
    Pope
    TAA Lund Kelly
    KDB Salah Cant Mount
    AUB Aguero Pukki

    Button Soyu Cleverly Rico

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years

      Play Soy over Kelly

    any point keeping Digne? could do Digne >Tomori with FT this week, ( would probably give me just enough funds for Haller to Vardy next week)

    Fixtures still good for Everton, maybe they'll improve?

    Pope
    TAA/Otamendi/Digne*
    Salah/Sterling(c)/KDB/Cantwell
    Abraham/Haller/Pukki

    button/lundstram/soyuncu/Lansbury 1FT 0.2 ITB

      Dont do that. Roll FT

        cheers, yeah that was my original plan, just getting itchy trigger finger lol

    I've somehow picked up 3 red cards over the past 2 GWs. Dealing with a barrage of suspensions, injuries and players facing the bench.

    What to do with my 2 FTs? 0.0 ITB

    Pope
    Aurier* Maitland Niles* Rico Landstrum TAA
    Hayden* Cantwell* KDB* Son Sterling
    Aguero* Pukki Abraham

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years

      I’d be wildcarding that mate

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

    Heaton

    Robbo, walker, digne

    Sterling, salah, cantwell, mount, son

    Pukki, wilson

    Subs: lund, rico, green

    Am i have to do something to get aubameyang and remove son

    1. Start wc
    2. Stick

  23. Arfaish
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    What do we think of this alternative wildcard:

    Pope (£4m)
    TAA, Ota, Doherty (Rico, Lund)
    KDB, Mahrez, Mount, Maddison (McGuinn)
    Auba, Vardy, Tammy

    Lots of players with good upcoming fixtures. Or too off the wall?

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years

    Pepe double digit haul incoming! Mark my words!

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

      02 it is

    2. MTPockets
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt it but to be fair can see quite a few goals in ars-bou

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

      Looks worse than Alex iwobi at the moment

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Lingard looks better than him, to be honest! But I can see him getting good points this weekend!

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      i think fpl overpriced him at 9.5. Coming from a French League team like Lille he should never be more than 8 or 8.5 max

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Even Arsenal got him overpriced!

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

        6.5-7 at the max. Willian, pedro are 7 after playing few seasons in the league. Martial, pulisic are 7.5, big money signings themselves.

        9.5 is ludicrous

    I’m leading my ML and got a choice of Sterling and Auba captain

    Most people behind me have Sterling so will likely captain him

    Should I just match them with it?

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

      Irrelevant at this stage of the season

      Pick whoever you think gets more points

    2. MTPockets
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Who do you think gets most pts? Would pick them

      1. AC Pilkington
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I don’t know haha

    3. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling

    naser of bahrain just ran the 3rd fastest 400m all time. absolutely exciting. the 2 faster times were in the 1980s in a doping era.

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

      I watched it and the sad thing is knowing about the 1980’s doping my first thought was ‘is she doping’.

      Although first 6 all ran super fast times so that adds credibility

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

        no dont think so. she was just awesome. yeah even miller uibo's time was 5th all time.

  27. Tim2012

    Best replacement for James?

    I would have 6.5m to spend

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yarm

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

        This

  28. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    a) KDB > Mount
    b) Aurier > Cresswell
    c) Play Engels & hold FT.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker

    Captain versus Vice Captain head to head:

    My Captains are losing 1-6 after 7 game weeks:

    Salah 12 Kane 13
    Salah 3 KDB 11
    Kane 2 Martial 5
    Salah 6 KDB 13
    Salah 9 KDB 1
    Aguero 9 KDB 17
    Son 5 Zaha 6

    (Even Wilfred Zaha got a Vice Captain victory !)

    Should I trade Salah and Greenwood and get Son and C Wilson?
