    Martial worth considering? United seems to have easiest schedule next 5 GWs.

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He looked rusty but still good pick imo

    2. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I just got him, so look out for reinjury!!! Lol

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Might be best to monitor this gw, but potentially a good option.

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

      Yeah I think he’s my Callum Wilson replacement

      Wilson & Cantwell > Martial & Connolly for 2 FT next week

  2. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which defender (max 6.0 but would prefer to pay less) is a dead cert for a CS this week?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      whichever one you sell

    3. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mings

    4. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No such thing

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

        Of course it's a hypothetical question, but I want to test the waters.... considering a three transfer move and wondering how likely I would be to covering a hit.

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          This season it would seem you’re more likely to cover a hit for a def with attacking returns rather than cs. So maybe an Alonso/Mendy etc neither nailed though.

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

            Good point.

    5. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No one mate never lol

    6. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I like mendy tho if he plays seems good pick

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

        Me too, but i forgot to say it can't be a City defender.

  3. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone like the idea of a double -double up on defense with pool and Burnley/Blades rotation? Would be back 3 and from GW13

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I don't understand what makes that a double-double?

      1. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        So 2 pool and 2 from Burnley/Blades rotation

        1. KDB4PREZ
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Pope/Lowten & Hendo/Lundy rotation alongside the pool full backs

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

            Like double Liverpool but think I’d rather stick with Pope and Lundstram without rotating

            1. KDB4PREZ
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I hear that and was my plan but I feel like for an extra .6 I can get a very nice rotation between blades/Burnley and would be great differential when works. Do you feel too many eggs in one basket? Cheers for advice

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

                I think it’s more that both could get unforeseen shut outs and I’d rather cover both all the time. Plus Lund has the occasional attacking points in him and I’d hate to risk those in the bench every other week

                1. KDB4PREZ
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Good point well made thanks man

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

      Pool yes, Burnley no for me. Please help above thanks.

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

        Sorry misread your post - thought you meant double Burnley.

  4. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) McGinn > Yarmalenko/Tielemans (free)

    B) McGinn & Digne > Maddison & Tomori (-4)

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A - Teilemanns is better than Maddie and Digne is better than Tomori.

  5. Citizen Kane
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How shall I get Mané or Salah with this?

    Ederson, Button
    Lund, Tomori, Soy, Trent, Montoya
    Mount, Sterling, KDB, Yarmo, Cantwell
    Abraham, Auba, Vardy

    0.1 ITB

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Auba/Cantwell-Salah/Conelly

  6. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Omg so happy I watched the last 20 mins of that game pepe was brilliant that’ll be huge for his confidence. Had no idea he was so good at set pieces, delivery and striking was spot on. Bit selfish but he looked much better quality

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      he looked ok at the weekend at well imo, sure he fluffed that chance but he did have some good moments for sure. As you said winning the game for Arsenal like that will be such a boost, im glad I have him

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lots of potential for points I’m sure many will join in soon

  7. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    BOSS HOGG 10 Years4 mins ago
    To buy this week:

    a. Tomori

    c. Boly

    ???

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      How did you predict that 10 years ago

      1. Ask Yourself

        C

      2. Boss Hogg

        Haha!

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

    How did Vitoria lose that, all of a sudden.

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

    Is Rico nailed?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Seems it atm and had been doing well but unsure if he really was to start the season

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Howe has said very good things about him recently so pretty nailed I would have thought for now

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      For now yeah, when all fit no, he’s covering for long term injury.

  10. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    This with a -4?

    Otamendi, Yarmolenko, Greenwood
    To
    Rico, dendonca, Jiminez

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

    Why no Auba tonight???

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Rest

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years

      Rested

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Dropped

  12. CHARLIE HULL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone starting Lundstram this weekend ahead of Soy/Tomori?

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

      Yep. TAA and him gonna be mainstays for a while I think. Clean sheets, attacking threat, cheap - not gonna try and second guess when the points will come

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.
      Starting ahead of Tomori

      I’m even tempted to start Rico ahead of soy too

    3. Aineian
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      ya I got him on bench for Wan Bissaka Lindstram and Can Aanholt

  13. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Auba just rested tonight?

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

      Yep

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Source?

  14. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Yarmolenko should start this week right?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure. He’s coming out my team this week I think

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah 100%

    3. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      MP said he didn't play last week because he didn't like him play 3x in a week (Ukraine) so soon after a long injury. See no reason why he wouldn't play. Nobody impressed in that first half anyways

  15. StinkinRich
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    As much as I chop and change I can’t seem to see a way to get KDB in without taking a hit...

    Pope Button

    Rico Lund Kelly TAA Tomori

    Mount Salah Guendozi Sterling DSilva

    Kun Tammy Greenwood

    2FT 0.4 Itb

    Should I just suck it up and go without or is there a way. Obviously I’m loathed to lose Kun, Raheem...

    Only option I’ve found is Dilva Salah TAA to KDB Mane Matip for a -4

    Thoughts please

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

      Getting rid of TAA & Salah for a hit doesn't sound right.

      1. StinkinRich
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that’s only way and I won’t do that. Going without Kev isn’t ideal but DSilva served me well and does well at home. Looking for options that are only two transfers

  16. WWF

    Salt and vinegar chips or doritos?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Poppadom

    2. Phil's Stamps

      S & v

  17. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best combo here for next few gw's

    1A) Lundy/Tomori + Auba + Pukki
    1B) Dilva + Rashford + Pukki
    1C) Pepe + Ings + Pukki

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

      Why is Pukki in each one?

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

        1A with Tomori

      2. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        true lol

  18. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    get kun or auba?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kun of the two, but one is playing for a garbage side at current and the other always a rotation risk

  19. zotter
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure what to do with this lot. One ft. 0.2 itb

    A. Save and aguero c
    B. Save and Auba c
    C Aguero. Yarma to kdb c. Wilson
    D. Auba. Yarma to kdb c. 7.0
    E. Anything else

    Pope
    Trent. Lund. Ota
    Salah. Mount. Cho. Yarm
    Aguero. Auba. Abraham

    Button. Rico. Cantwell. Pieters

  20. Aineian
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    still puzzled on who to place as my Captain between Mane, KDB, Vardy and Silva any ideas plz so confused ryt now.

  21. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is aguero worth transferring in, or too much risk?

  22. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea or Leicester more likely to keep a clean sheet?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      None probably

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      i would say leicester but chelsea shut down Ajax away yesterday...

  23. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any know if Otamendi will play this weekend? Or why was he dropped last week?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pep roulette.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He had a knock on IB. He came on in the CL so it looks like he's fit, a definite hold for now with those two great fixtures.

  24. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    arsenal have great fixtures, but man i cant trust them

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pepe is your man 😉

  25. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I have considered Pepe over Auba on my wildcard. Do you think he can "cover" Aubameyang's points?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Do you need to cover Auba is the question?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He hasn't so far. Not sure why he would now all of a sudden.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He is new to the league but he does seem to have done much better in the last couple of games. Maybe finally settling in? Obviously I don't think he's as secure an option as Auba but he is about £1.5m cheaper.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          They lost 1 nil to Sheff Utd in the previous game. 😀

          1. DeadStarComing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yes but Pepe looked much better than Auba in that game 🙂

            1. Dthinger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              so did Oezil...

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

      He has a chance as long as Luiz stays away form the Arsenal free kicks.

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I did the same when I played my wildcard! After that I wasted 2 transfers to get Auba in & Pepe out!

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I've owned Auba for just his two blanks, which really doesn't help my decision making. He always seems to disappoint when I own him yet he somehow ends up as the top goal scoring forward.

  26. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    couple of quick questions for the next few gw's?
    1) Pukki >> Jimenez or Rashford worth it?
    2) Martial or Dilva? Already have Sterling/Kdb
    3) Rashford or Vardy??

  27. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Locked in
    Good luck all

    Pope.
    Lundstram. Soyuncu. TAA
    Maddison. Mane. KDB. Sterling (C). Mount.
    Abraham. Vardy.

    McGovern. Tomori. Rico. Connolly.

    Three Leicester tomorrow is either gold or fail

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team

  28. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What would you do with 2fts here? Don’t like otamendi or Yarmolenko so looking to downgrade in order to upgrade greenwood but they have great fixtures. Otamendi likely to be benched?

    Pope
    Taa, otamendi, lundstrum, soyunco, Gilbert
    Salah, sterling, kdb, Mount, Yarmolenko
    Pukki, Tammy, Greenwood

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think with Ota you've got to hold for the next two. Even if he's benched this weekend, that Southampton fixture is even better.

  29. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kane away to Liverpool, 5-6 points? Or just 2?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Despite their form, I can see Spurs nicking a goal in that game.

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

    Lund (whu) or Rico (wat)?

    Pope
    Vvd Tomori ?
    Salah Mount Kdb Cantwell
    Aguero Vardy Tammy

    Button Mcginn (Lundstram Rico) Mings

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lund for me, Rico first bench.
