    Saving FT this week

    Really want to open up a route to turn two of (Wilson, Maddison, Cantwell) into two of (CHO, Martial, Connolly)

    Performances this weekend go some ways towards deciding which two & two it’ll be 🙂

    Pope
    TAA, Robbo, Ota
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Mount
    Vardy, Wilson, Tammy
    (Button, Lundy, Cantwell, Rico)

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Jeez that’s a terrible TOTP lol - my sincerest apologies 🙂

    2. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You'll be crucified for suggesting Martial. I have enough to go from Maddison to Martial, but it could be bad move... both teams have great fixtures and Leicester look the better team.

  2. Lumberjack
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I've got Rico on the bench this week, not sure it's the right call though. Does this look OK?

    Pope
    TAA Lund Tomori
    Mane KDB Madd Mount
    Auba Wilson Tammy

    Rico Saka Kelly

    Cheers!

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Looks the right order to me

      1. Lumberjack
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Ta

        1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Rico over Lundstram maybe.

          1. Lumberjack
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe, missed too many Lundstram points on the bench already though! Cheers

    2. JohnBlack
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Rico over Tomori

      1. Lumberjack
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        A few going for that option. Possibly. Thanks

  3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Please help me choose 2 to play between Tomori, Soy, Lundy and Rico.

    Cheers

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Tom & Lundy

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

        this

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram and Rico

      1. Connor Wickham
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundy then stick the others in a hat

  4. Bonita
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Tammy, Auba, or Maddi?

    1. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Auba

    2. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Auba or tammy

      1. Bonita
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Same boat. Thing is Tammy has played well Away this season so far.

    3. Me Spurs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Has to be auba

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A brave man who wants to predict Captain points this year.

  5. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Cantwell ==> CHO?

    I already have Tammy & Mount.

    Cantwell is my 4th mid and I play 3-4-3.

    What do you think?

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who would you bench?

  6. ChuckN
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any advice for this lot? Really want to downgrade somewhere and just use 1 transfer, but who?

    2FT, 0.5 ITB

    Pope
    TAA Ota Boly
    Mane KdB Maddison Mount
    Kun Tammy Pukki

    Lund Soy Cantwell McGovern

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well cash in on Cantwell

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ota to Rico?

      1. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Probably next week after Villa!

    3. luv4rotties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That is depending on future moves.
      If you want to keep the 3-4-3 then Cantwell > 4,5.
      If 3-5-2 is an option then Pukki -> Connoly

      1. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Likely ditching Kun next week or week after so will be freeing up cash there also, will pivot to Sterling/Salah in midfield.

        I am really tempted to go 3-5-2 so torn about locking in a 4.5 mid that barely plays.

  7. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Whos the best person to transfer in for Son

    1. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Salah

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pepe punty

    3. Canary_Kid
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who you already have, I'd be looking at the likes of KDB, Maddison

    4. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm strongly considering Martial

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB

    6. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who you own ATM

  8. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    31shots on target faced by Tottenham Hotspur in away matches this season: no team has allowed more on their travels. Worried as a Mane and Salah non owner this week.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Take out the City game and the numbers are less distorted.

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Plenty of pts for gazza then? 🙂

  9. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Auba over Sterling/KDB?

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      nah

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me.

  10. tvz32
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    Auba Mahrez to Vardy KDB (-4)?

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      nope

  11. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Whos the best person to transfer in for Son under 9.6 M?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pepe the gunner

      1. LLoris
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        too risky

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Three very tricky fixtures in a row

      3. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Pepe not for me.

  12. Me Spurs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start digne or Lund?

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      digne

  13. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lol Ibra, always a class act.

  14. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Madison or Martial??

    1. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tony

      1. LLoris
        • 5 Years

        ??

        1. Connor Wickham
          • 10 Years

    2. radawson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  15. SpaceCadet

    Kane > Kun with the ft and cap kun?

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Considering the same but taking Auba out. Do you think he will start?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        My guess is he will.

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Then go for it. Don't think i'm ballsy enough.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not an easy decision. Will have to have a few cold ones and blaze a fatty to take off the edge.

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Might join ya on that one mate. I just cannot see him starting after full 90 mins midweek and Jesus has been doing very well. Let us know what you decide once you're on cloud 9

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            My gut feeling is kun starts and sterling benched.

  16. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Never wanted Pukki, never trusted Pukki, got Pukki. 6 pts in four games. Bite me Pukki, goodbye.

    i hate Pukki!

  17. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Bench order look right here?

    Ryan
    TAA, Digne, Otamendi, Boly
    Salah, Sterling, Mount
    Wilson, Abraham, Pukki

    Button, Cantwell, Soyuncu, Deondocker

  18. thepirates

    TAA, Pereira, Lundstram, Rico
    Sterling (C), Mount, Mane,

  20. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    City at home....

    KDB, 11, 13 & 17pts
    Kun, 6, 16, 9 & 2pts.....might give the C to KDB.

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB looks most likely to start and up for a haul. But Pep may just decide to bench him to troll us! 😛

  21. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah and Pukki to KDB and Vardy for a hit?

  22. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Those that had Son in GW9, what have you done with him?

    a) sold (for who?)
    b) keeping
    c) undecided

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sold along with Pukki part of a -4 for Martial and Vardy.

      I do regret selling Son to be honest.

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping... See below

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sold for Mane

    4. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Still undecided atm. Plan was to bring in Martial but after mid week games thinking might be better off with Son for a few more games now

    5. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Have you decided yet TM?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nope, planned on selling but may keep and save a transfer.

  23. Jayv807
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Stick with Pepe or

    Swap to KDB for a hit?

    I have Kun and Sterling

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB for a hit.

      1. Jayv807

        Thanks!

  24. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else think Pool vs Spurs will be a high scoring game? Just have the feeling that Spurs will go for it esp after their midweek result. Pool aren't that resilient at the back even with Alisson back. Salah/Mane and Son/Kane owners could be in for BIG points!

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool will destroy them at Anfield lol. 3-0 or 3-1.

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not doubting Pool will win. But I think Spurs will give a good flight and it'll be closer, more like 3-2 or 4-2. Spurs are just atrocious atb so expect them to ship in loads.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Well Spurs have a lower xG than Burnley this season. So I don't really see them as a big threat to the best team in Europe...

          1. KGFC
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Not saying they will beat Pool. It's just about can Spurs score against Pool. I think yes. Pool haven't been that water tight this year plus Spurs with Son, Kane and Pamela/Moura starting up top is more than competent to score.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yep possibly Liverpool score 3 or 4 & spurs struggle to score at all

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think Spurs will score... This is one of those games that seem lopsided but couldn't turn out just the opposite. City vs Wolves case in point... Expectations vs Result.

    3. Connor Wickham
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Might have a cheeky punt on 2-2 in case spuds turn up but most likely 3 or 4 - 1

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        They gotta turn up and think they will. They have a formidable attack and can see them hurt Pool. Although Pool will win.

  25. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Sterling or KDB? This has been taking my sleep this week 🙁

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling has been busy of late :

      GW6: Sat 21st - Watford - Benched (0’)
      Tues 24th - Preston - Started (76’)
      GW7: Sat 28th - Everton - Started (86’)
      Tues 1st - Zagreb - Benched (34’)
      GW8: Sun 6th - Wolves - Started (90’)
      Fri 11th - Czech Rep - Started (90’)
      Mon 14th - Bulgaria - Started (76’)
      GW9: Sat 19th - Palace - Started (90’)
      Tues 22nd - Atalanta - Started (90’)
      GW10: Sat 26th - Villa
      Tues 29th: Southampton
      GW11: Sat 2nd - Southampton

      Villa would be his fifth start (in three different countries) 15 days

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that is concerning.

        Although he might have a higher ceiling, he is higher risk, no doubt.

        I think I’ll play safe with Kdb.

        Auba is another option for me but in he last two games he had let me down. I’m kind of pissed off with him.

      2. MOZIL
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think Sterling will be benched

  26. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any changes necessary with captaincy and bench order

    Patricio
    Soy OTA Lund
    KDB(v) Sterling(c) mane Mount
    Auba Tammy King

    Pieters Dendoncker kelly

  27. thepirates
    • 6 Years

    Pereira, Taa & Mcginn to Kelly, Boly & KDB? -8 hit

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No way

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don't ditch Perreira

    3. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

  28. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope, Heaton
    Digne, TAA, Otamendi, Soyuncu, Lundstram
    Mount, Salah, Cantwell, Dendoncker, KdB (c)
    Aguero, Pukki, Abraham

    2FT, 0 ITB

    Digne & Cantwell >> Rico & Tielemans

    Yay?

  29. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play Cantwell over Lund or Soy right?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Play Lundy at all times.

    2. maff
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably play lundstram, could score via goals or clean sheets. Plus return of onel hernandez from injury makes cantwells starting place a bit less secure

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  30. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    Otamendi, robertson, lund, digne, ake
    Salah, sterling, james, cantwell, dendocker
    Vardy, abrahams, jiminez

    1FT and £0.6m

    So:
    A) salah to KDB
    B) james, Robertson, digne to kdb, tomori, soyonucu
    C) roll FT

    Any views/ help?
