    Grealish to drop tonight?

    Thanks

      drop his pants?

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I wish

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Let him tumble. The man is pure gold.

  2. tbhogal

    Aguero owners holding or selling ?

    1. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I sold for Vardy but before arsenal lost. I'd still probably do the same again.

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Holding if double in 29 announced tomorrow and likely selling if not?

  3. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hoping for no DGW 29 with no City or Arsenal players...

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately will happen. I have Mahrez only.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same but surely it will...

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have kdb and auba already

        Not sure who else worth having

  4. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Saiss looking well and healthy after his cameo tonight?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      probably

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'll get him in the morning for Lundstram if there's no warning signs.

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          do it now!

  5. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So we can't trust Vardy (c). Salah popular pick but if you own both is Mane better pick for (c)?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me just because on pens.

      If only worried about ML's, then pick as appropriate.

  6. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So DGW29 looks even more likely now right? City vs United and Arsenal?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Aguero 7 goals incoming

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        this

    2. FPL Bond @ Twitter

      Thank god. I have both Aguero & Auba..

  7. FPL Theorist

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any news today on the seriousness of Laporte's injury? I want to get Ederson in GW29 if Laporte will be fit.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      could be numerous weeks out

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        at least 3 weeks reported by telegraph

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, very good to know!

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte injured again? Poor guy.

  8. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    To be clear - arsenal dgw29 would be West Ham (H) and City (A)?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  9. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on:
    Mccarthy and Bruno Fernandez (In) for Martial and Foster (out) (-4)

    Thx

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just Bruno.

  10. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What’s best here?

    Grealish ->

    A) Mount
    B) Armstrong
    C) Sarr

    Thanks!

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of any. Barnes?

    2. Citizenkane91
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Really rate Sarr in 1-2 GWs time when his match fitness should be back. Probably a week or two too soon.

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Going to bed. Stop buying bruno.

    1. Twisted Melon
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For Grealish

  12. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If dgw29 is conformed would you not continue with your plans and just FH the. Instead of gw31 with likely only 3fixtures in it?

    1. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DGW 29 confirmed for Arsenal?

  13. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If DGW is scheduled for 29, would this hypothetically be a good move?

    Ings>Auba(c), Martial>Hayden for a -4?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial to Saka better

      1. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t afford it

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. Also prefer KDB(c) over Auba.

      3. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Teirney is fit. Saka plays lb yeah?

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Has Saka not done enough to earn the spot ahead of Tierney?

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Saka has been very good and Tierney has been injured almost all season, doubt he just walks back in.

  14. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero my only cash cow. If I kept him, how would you use 2 FT and 0.1 ITB?

    Foster
    TAA Gomez Soyuncu Kelly*
    Salah Maddison Doucoure Cantwell
    Jimenez Ings

    (Button Aguero KDB Basham)

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kelly -> Taylor and maybe save 2nd FT to help add DGW players next week.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, Taylor is a good shout!

  15. Pep Roulette

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      tried using google translate on this but no luck

  16. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would be the best move here?

    A) Martial + Holgate --> Bruno + Robertson (-4)
    B) Martial + Dendoncker/Traore --> Bruno + Maddison (-4)
    C) Other

    Guaita
    TAA - Holgate - Rico
    Salah - Martial - Traore - Dendoncker
    DCL - Vardy - Ings

    Button - Williams - KDB* - Lundstram* [3.8m ITB + 1FT]

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A looks good. Can you answer mine above please?

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any word on Martial.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      scout tweets, injured but ole doesn't know how long or bad

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        will he be out v Everton?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          he's a risk now but ole hasn't said whether or not it's serious

        2. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Looks like it

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers B D

  18. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacements for Hendo + Grealish here?
    Or is it worth just saving 1 FT afterall?

    TAA, Stephens, Williams, Saiss, Holgate.
    Mane, Salah, Dendoncker.
    Ings, Maupay.
    2ft, 0.2m ITB.
    Non players- Hendo, Stek, Auba, Grealish, KDB.

    Not committing either way to a FH GW 31.

  19. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It’s a -4 for me to get Aubameyang in for 29 in place of Vardy (AVL), Ings (NEW) or Jimenez (BHA).

    Don’t think I’ll do it even with a DGW...

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I agree

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, the extra game for Arsenal is very tough. Probably not worth a hit to add their players.

  20. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Nicolas Pépé lost possession 32 times against Olympiacos, the most by an Arsenal player in an UEL game this season.

    Insane

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      80 milion for this clown. Lingard is better player

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      there was a funny play where he tried to beat the player 3 or 4 times. could have taken a shot but chose to try to keep beating him then lost the ball

      he's unpredictable, not sure if he knows what's going to happen some of the time

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He was an absolute joke for them this evening.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        wow. 3 bonus points!

  21. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why not FH in 29 if we have a DGW?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Because there willbe bigger DGWs down the road.

    2. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is DGW 29 confirmed?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not yet

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you haMight be a few TC options there?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Auba TC would be high risk high reward... maybe KdB

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          not worth it

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So should I still do Auba to Vardy this week!? I do have Maddi already.

    1. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Auba will punish you badly...

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        nah

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If a DGW is announced I'd 100% keep Auba.

      1. FPL Bond @ Twitter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

  26. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keep or sell Aguero for Vardy?

    Vardy -- Nor, Villa
    Aguero - Blank, MUN + ARS (probably be benched once)

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sell

      1. kamdaraji

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

  27. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years

    Damn this imminent DGW ruins all my plans!

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years

      not even confirmed

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The best plans are adaptable

    3. Niho992

      Only casuals are not prepared

  28. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mane or Auba?

    My plan was to get Mane this week!

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane.

      1. kamdaraji

  29. Rhodes your boat

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      won't happen

  30. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about FH29 which could be decent if you can get a team out in 31 and still have WC to prep for the others but there's a big problem, looking at the fixtures, loads of teams have amazing ones and it's tough to fit in all the big hitters.

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      FH in DGW 34 is better

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But you can prep for that with WC in 32 right?

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I wasted my WC already
