    Captain...

    Vardy or Mane?

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

      Vardy

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy. What you think to Son(c)?

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        SHU is solid

    3. AC Yew

      My current dilemma!

  3. Spunky Skunk

    Would you rather bring in Maddison or Pulisic for this week?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pulisic

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

      Just for this week Pul, longer term Maddy

  4. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Any suggestions? Really got no idea what to do. Only know that would like to have 2ft for the international break.

    2ft and 0.5itb

    Pope
    TAA Coady Lascelles
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Tielemans
    Jimenez Tammy

    4.0; Lundstram, Soyuncu, Greenwood

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      My moves were KDB to Son and Mount to Pulisic

    2. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah to Mane? Sterling to Mane? Mount to some differential?

    3. Snooze ya lose

  5. Eze Really?

    Where would you invest the 2.4 mil I have spare.
    Pope (Button)
    Soy Lund TAA (Rico Kelly)
    Mane KDB Mount Martial McGinn
    Jimmi Abraham Vardy

    I have a selection dilemma in the front 8
    Rico, Kelly and Button can change but the 4 I have at the back will play for the next 6 weeks anyway

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo in defence

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Seems the obvious move. If I was sure Mendy to get minutes he would be my choice next week

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Just hold and reassess next week

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. I was talking next week actually. Sorry for that.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I would keep rico and upgrade Kelly but team is good to go

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The 2.4 mil is burning a hole in my pocket!
        I cannot remember ever having a team I want with that amount of spare cash.
        It is the chasm of 7.5 to 12.1 in the mids that is creating the pain.
        It burns my backside McGinn is a sub most of the time. When Chelsea play Citeh he comes in vs Newcastle though.

      Mendy next week

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely on my radar

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years

          My watchlist is Son Mendy Robbo and Pullisic. Trossard later too.

  6. Ze_Austin

    4 years, 5 months ago

    One point the stats and eye test keep showing is that I shouldn't expect a clean sheet for any club facing Potter's Brighton. A CS against them can happen, but it comes with the feeling that the defenders were lucky...

    1. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      well, they are good, but you cannot say noone will keep a clean sheet

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I know. I'm just not going to expect one. Would help me when rotating defenders

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would you keep Maupay

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

        Hes on pens too so definitely.

          Just vad fixtures, thinking Jota or Ings to replace him.

    Captain Tammy or Vardy?

    1. Aleksei

      Vardy

    So just had this AH..HA! moment, and realized what a great captain pick Pukki would be for this Friday night game! Looks like a perfect bounce back game for him, with potential multiple goal involvement. Would make it even sweeter after so many have lost faith and transferred him out. I'm doing it, well worth the risk in my view.

    1. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      good luck!

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Well worth the risk. Hernandez and Vranic back in the team is exactly what Pukki needed to be refreshed and go on another scoring streak, we know he's capable.

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The only thing that would hold me back if I had him is the Friday night game

    Morning all,

    In a money league, top with 3 points and some cash given at the end of GW12.

    Should I do sterling and connolly -> maddi and jimi for a hit?

    I haven't taken a hit so far this season.

    Opted for Martial (over maddison) before this price rise but already feel i made a mistake! Currently have exact funds to do Sterling > Mane for gw13 so will need to make the before Mane rises. Thoughts on this team? got 0m itb

    Pope
    Taa Tomori Rico -- Lundy Lascelles
    Sterling Kdb Martial Mount -- Cantwell
    Tammy Vardy Rashford

    For next gw, i was thinking:
    - Sterling > Mane if sterling fails or picks up a YC
    - Save FT if Mane blanks

          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Forced to play Otamendi as not keen on a -8 to get rid.

          Bench order correct:
          Dendoncker
          Connolly
          Kelly

          1. Party time
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I would get rid for a -8. He is an absolute pant

                  I'm so tempted!! might work out well if both Mount and him dont play.

                  1. Party time
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      I think Mount would be rested. I also think Pep won't start Ota against Pool except he wants a spanking.

                        Ithis is my concern not really happy with bench cover. I'm
                        m actually feeling like taking a risk! Could be first -8 of the season!

                            4 years, 5 months ago

                            Yeah buddy...Whoever you replace him with, make it a long term buy. So the effect of the minus 8 would be minimal in the long run or you could also just ride it out this gw but he really stinks in your team

                              What stinks is I've planning to bring in Lundstram for many weeks watching the points rack up whilst losing value on OTA!

                          Don't think that you need to do another FT,but can suggest Digne to Robbo or Yarmo to Martial.GL.

                            If Mount is even slightly injured they shouldn’t bring him on. Start him instead of soyuncu

                        I would keep sterling, eye test the most important imo and he passes with flying colours of late.

                            eye test in the ucl?

                          On a wildcard; any reason I should get soyuncu instead of Johnny Evans. Slight saving if I get Evans.

                            4 years, 5 months ago

                            Every single corner went to Evans last week (apart from one of course). Don't mind him as a bit of a differential. Hopefully his injury problems are a thing of the past.

                            I don’t see any cs there. Bench Kelly and one more

                              Yes you're right, the question should have been bench Meny or VVD
                              I'm leaning towards the attack of Mendy over the clean sheet of VVD but it's hard to call
