    Aguero is an enigma, feels like he could score 3 or 4 at least 10 times a season but come the end of GW38 he’s never really on a massive number of points.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 28 days ago

      If he played every week would probably be the highest scorer every season. But doesn't (injuries, rotation)

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 28 days ago

        *Oh fpl pts - well that and fwds only get 4pts for goals, no cs

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Last season he played about 65 mins at home.

  2. Lucky Z
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Pope
    TAA Digne Ota Lundstram Pieters
    Sterling KDB Son James Guendouzi
    Pukki Abraham Ayew

    2.9ITB 1FT

    Ultimately want Auba, like

    Digne => 4.5
    James => 4.5
    Ayew => Auba

    Please advise

    1. Gudjohnsen
      7 years, 28 days ago

      -8 is too much

      1. Lucky Z
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Gradually, ultimately -4

    2. Pukki Party
      7 years, 28 days ago

      You have to sell a minimum 9m player to fit in Auba as you don't want to play Guendozis.

      1. Lucky Z
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Hah, I can play even 5 at back

  3. Pukki Party
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Best option to get rid of Jota?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Digne Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Haller

    Button Jota Greenwood Rico
    2ft 0itb. WC intact.

    A) Jota, Digne to Soyuncu, Pukki
    B) Jota to Maupay
    C) KDB, Jota to Mahrez, Pukki
    D) Jota, Digne to Otamendi, King

    1. _Ninja_
      7 years, 28 days ago

      A

  4. StingRay
    7 years, 28 days ago

    rate my team for GW 8 pls:

    Pope
    Lund Kelly Lowton
    Mané Sterling McGinn Dendonker
    PEA Wilson Pukki
    Button Matip Söy KDB

    Only probs is to get this team l have to take a -8 or hit

    PEA for Barnes
    McGinn for Hayden
    Mané for Salah
    C. Wilson for Barnes

    1. Lucky Z
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Keep Hayden to avoid -4

      1. StingRay
        7 years, 28 days ago

        only prob with keeping Hayden is l cant field a full midfield and l lije McGinn potential scoring ability against a soft

  5. Manani
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Tomori or Souy?

    will have to play this week as I got a few injuries

    1. Pukki Party
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Soy

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 28 days ago

        lol

    2. Rt505
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Tomori

    3. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      7 years, 28 days ago

      What kind of question is this?

      1. Cookie Kid
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Is this that obvious?!

        Leicester have lowest xG in league...

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 28 days ago

          That's because xG is based on the teams they've already played. Leicester haven't played the likes of Man City and Liverpool yet.

          Playing Liverpool at Anfield is just about the worse fixture for any defender.

          1. Cookie Kid
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Indeed, if the fellow is making a move for 1 GW only.

            Tbf Leicester have played away at Chelsea and Man Utd and played Spurs in first 7!

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              7 years, 28 days ago

              He's a good pick, don't get me wrong. I think if the OP is looking for a defender he'd be happy playing this week, then it needs to be Tomori over Soyuncu.

              1. Back on the horse
                7 years, 28 days ago

                yeah it's this, OP

            2. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
              7 years, 28 days ago

              Of which they conceded in all three of those fixtures.

              Yes, IMO it’s very obvious.

              1. Cookie Kid
                7 years, 28 days ago

                Interesting. I look at Chelsea conceding 13 and Leicester 5 in much tougher games so far as being in Leicester's favour!

                1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
                  7 years, 28 days ago

                  Fair enough.

                  I guess we just look at things differently.

                  I just look at the opposition and I’d always start a defender playing Southampton rather than Liverpool.

                  1. Cookie Kid
                    7 years, 28 days ago

                    I agree with that if it’s a one week punt

          2. EMBOLOFAN
            7 years, 28 days ago

            gw1-8 leicester have literally had hardest fixtures in the league

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              7 years, 28 days ago

              ah that includes 8, which hasn't happened yet. still, 5th hardest in the league!

  6. _Ninja_
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Mane Barnes to Yarmo Auba -4

    Yay or nay?

    Pope
    TAA - Ota - Lund - Soy - Montoya
    Sterling - KDB - Mane - Mount - Cantwell
    Pukki - Tammy - Barnes

    1. _Ninja_
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Or just barnes to wilson?

    2. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I’m considering the exact same thing… Thinking I’ll probably just go for it

    3. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I mean, over the next four games it’s got to be worth the four points…

  7. StingRay
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Söy

  8. Energetics
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Will most likely do the move next week regardless but for this week, which one, either will be captained.

    A. Aguero
    B. Aubameyang

    1. Pukki Party

  9. NUFCAndrew
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Good evening all. I have 2 FTs & 0 ITB. Any recommendations what to do with this?

    Pope Button

    TAA Otamendi Soyuncu Rico Kelly

    Mane KDB Son Cantwell Hayden*

    Aguero Abraham Pukki

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 28 days ago

      You are persistent.

      What do you think might be good options?

    2. Schliegs
      7 years, 28 days ago

      KDB + Hayden > Mahrez + Yarm

    3. Back on the horse
      7 years, 28 days ago

      The cow has a point.

      But Aguero to Auba might be worth considering.

  10. Steirish
    7 years, 28 days ago

    If KDB is out who would you play?

    Rico
    Soyuncu
    Dendoncker

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Play KDB anyway just incase.

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 28 days ago

    How is this as possible WC squad?

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Otamendi Tierney Söyüncü Tomori
    Salah Sterling Mount Yarmolenko Guendouzi
    Vardy Abraham Pukki

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Think I'd want to see Tierney start first.

      No kdb / kun/ auba the risk I suppose

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks. It is so hard to get them all. Kun and Auba not so concerned about as lower priced strikers doing OK but fit KDB I would want so need to ensure plan in place to bring back!

    2. Rt505
      7 years, 28 days ago

      You can probably take a bit of money out of defence. You’ll only need 3 each week assuming 343

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks- good point .

    3. Schliegs
      7 years, 28 days ago

      NO LUNDSTRAM N GOOD

      1. Schliegs
        7 years, 28 days ago

        No Lundstram no good**

        No idea what happened on that first comment

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 28 days ago

          I'd take Tomori/Soy over Lundstram.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Me too. Couple of attacking returns just as they also managed to keep a cs..that won't keep happening

    4. Back on the horse
      7 years, 28 days ago

      any way to fit Maddo in there? and do it next week

  12. Daghe Munegu
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Play one

    A:Ayew
    B:Rico
    C: Guendouzi

  13. nigey88
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Evening folks!

    Ryan
    Wan Bissaka, Robertson, Lundstram, Otamendi
    Mane, Sterling, Pepe, Mount, Yarmelenko
    Pukki

    Should I hold to gain a FT next week or I have just the right amount for Jimenez to Abraham?
    Greenwood would come on if Wan doesn't play!

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Get Tammy

      1. nigey88
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers

    2. Schliegs
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Sell WanB, poor fixtures coming up, ManU look shite and he might not even play. SELL.

  14. Rt505
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Finalised WC squad. Thoughts?

    Ryan, McGovern
    Soy, Tomori, Fredericks, Lowton, Lundstram
    Sterling, KDB, Son, Mount, Dendoncker
    Auba, Vardy, Abraham

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe go with someone instead of KDB with a view to getting him in later?

      1. Rt505
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah I’ve been considering it, but I’ve had him since day 1 so I’ve got value tied up. So was planning to wait til after the IB

    2. Schliegs
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I'd try and squeeze Dendo into Cantwell too

      1. George Sillett
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Hope Cantwell is ready for that.

  15. ALegendJ
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Does Unai Emery have a press conference set for tomorrow?

    1. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 28 days ago

      normally the Europa league teams dont have pressers for the weekend

      1. ALegendJ
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks for replying

  16. AzzaroMax99
    7 years, 28 days ago

    What's wrong with Cantwell? He is not on yellow or something else is the problem?

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Some random guy said he might be injured.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Thx 🙂

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        7 years, 28 days ago

        If Dom Bond said it, it must be true *eyes roll*

        I’d believe Ben Din first

        1. IRBOX âš½
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Dinnery doesn’t know much either.. just re-tweets others crap

          1. FPL Forward Thinker
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Lol. Ye, true enough

  17. ZimZalabim
    7 years, 28 days ago

    If aguero doesnt start but comes off the bench and scores a goal so 5 points
    and Auba starts and gets a brace and max bonus so 13 points

    In that situation is it worth paying 4 points to get him in for a net 4 point gain ?

    1. _Ninja_
      7 years, 28 days ago

      If you think that will happen get Auba and captain him.

      1. ZimZalabim
        7 years, 28 days ago

        are u saying in this scenario it would be worth it if I captain but not otherwise ?

        I actually feel like both will start and also I own sterling and am probably gonna captain him so its better to hold Aguero and forget Auba right

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      No, it's better to have less points?

    3. George Sillett
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Not sure what the point of this is. Just decide whether Auba is worth getting for Kun with a -4.
      Probably not.

      1. ZimZalabim
        7 years, 28 days ago

        The point is that Auba would have to outscore aguero by 1 goal just to break even and need another or bonus etc to give gains so its just a long winded way of me saying its probably not worth it even though I keep going back to it

    4. Regin
      7 years, 28 days ago

      why did u get in kun if u r not confident he will start vs wolves/?

  18. jernej93
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Is -4 hit worth of 0.1 team value? 🙂

    Pope is about to rise and I want to bring him in for Heaton

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 28 days ago

      No

    2. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 28 days ago

      in very rare situations

      In this case a massive Nope

      1. jernej93
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks 🙂 I had to use my FT for Aurier -> Tomori this GW 🙂

        Pope next GW if nothing urgent doesn't come up 😀

  19. Daghe Munegu
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Choose 2 between

    A:Callum Wilson
    B:Mount
    C:Yarmolenko

    1. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 28 days ago

      A B

      1. Twisted Saltergater

        this, AB.

  20. MarvelouSuccess
    7 years, 28 days ago

    I don't know what to do with KDB and Cantwell being doubts. Only have 1 FT and £0.9m in the bank.

    Pope

    Lundstram Otamendi Lowton

    Mane KDB Sterling (C) Cantwell

    Aubameyang (VC) Abraham Pukki

    Stekelenburg Soyuncu Nakamba Rico

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Wait for news on Cantwell tomorrow.

  21. AW4
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Salah, KDB, Greenwood
    To
    Mount, Mahrez, Aubameyang

    Worth an 8pt hit?

    1. IRBOX âš½
      7 years, 28 days ago

      100% not

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I see the attraction but no, not imo. You'll want KdB back and Salah is a captain option.

      1. AW4
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers, I’ll leave it then. Still want Aubameyang, not sure how to do it though...

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 28 days ago

          I'm in the same boat!

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      No

  22. BIind Moth
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Just wondering if anyone has considered Harry Wilson? Tough fixture against Arsenal this week but not out of the question to return something. Then has Norwich & Watford in GW9 & GW10

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Is it a tough fixture?

      1. Poseidon.
        7 years, 28 days ago

        No they are rubbish. 3-0 Bournemouth

        1. FPL Forward Thinker
          7 years, 28 days ago

          So your admitting Bournemouth are way better than Man Utd?

          1. The Farke Side Gallery
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Oh dear oh dear

          2. Poseidon.
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Im admitting their better than arsenal utd would still beat both

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Bournemouth could easily score 2 or 3 vs Arsenal. Not sure why they're red on the ticker.

    3. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I also feel like bournemouth are even money in this game

      Havent considered him but not a bad shout have a midfield slot that he could be a great option for

      1. ZimZalabim
        7 years, 28 days ago

        hes 6.1 and has 3 goals but hes come off twice before 60 and thrice just after 60 so thats a bit of an issue
        competing with yarmolenko at that price who also has 3 goals and played 90 and 88 last two. Bournemouth have the better fixtures overall next 3 atleast - hmmm

  23. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 28 days ago

    If Maddison drops, which looks like the decent move?
    (A) Salah and Greenwood to Auba and Maddison? (free)
    (B) Salah, Greenwood and Pukki to Vardy Auba and cheap mid (4.5ish) (-4)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      A

    2. The Farke Side Gallery
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Vardy has pool away so needs a brace to justify -4

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Sorry - after this gw (gw9)

      1. The Farke Side Gallery
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Are you planning on playing the 4.5?

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Nah

  24. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Pick one, please.

    a. KdB + Tielemans + Aguero + 8 pts
    b. KdB + Mahrez + Aubameyang
    c. Sterling + Sako + Aguero

    1. Daghe Munegu
      7 years, 28 days ago

      C

    2. Dickie1898
      7 years, 28 days ago

      C

    3. Relaxing
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Agree, C

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks guys, I really didn't expect C to be popular.

      Will make those moves tomorrow if Cantwell is also out.

  25. Dickie1898
    7 years, 28 days ago

    WC locked in. Able to fund Salah and revert to 352 in two moves. Good cover for KDB. Any thoughts?

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Lundstram
    Sterling KDB Mount Yarmolenko Aubameyang Abraham Wilson

    (Button Mcginn Tomori Soyuncu)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      It's fine.

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Downgrade Yarmo or McGinn, no point having that much money tied up on your bench every week

        It's so I have decent cover for KDB. Also one of them will turn into Salah.

      2. Relaxing

        I would downgrade McGinn and get F Anderson

        1. Dickie1898
          7 years, 28 days ago

          So have a 4.5 mid come off the bench for KDB so I can upgrade Yarmo to Anderson? Then be stuck with the 4.5 mid as part of a 3-5-2 when I bring Salah back in?

            If you are set on getting Salah back in then no.. probably not. Sorry, I didn't realise that was your LT plan when I posted that

    What happens if i've taken a 4 point hit already, and I now play the free hit....will the hit be reversed(both transfers then)

      Chip usage cancels previous transfers

          7 years, 28 days ago

          Tempting tbh, who for though. Not great cover for kdb either

          1. CRO KLOPP
            7 years, 28 days ago

            For ceballos

    3. Cookie Kid

      1. Tsparkes10
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Too short term tbh, forcing a WC idkkk

      2. CRO KLOPP
        7 years, 28 days ago

        I would WC over international and go 3-4-3 with Vardy

    Tempted to go fully differential in defence from GW9:

    Tierney Periera Doherty Otamendi Lundstram

    Thoughts

    1. Schliegs
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I like it alot, although maybe downgrade 1 more

    2. BIind Moth
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Love it and have been thinking something similar. Haven't thought about Doherty but just checked fixtures and can see why you've included him.

      Imagine if you had this 2 GWs ago, would've got like a million points barring Tierney

      1. George Sillett
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Might be an idea to buy a new calculator.

        1. Harper_

          68 points, close enough

      OTa to Liv defender and it looks better
