    2. Rinseboy

      how about KDB and DCL to Fernandes and Vardy?

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

        Thanks- not affordable. Would need to be Ings that goes

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          would you do it if you could afford? Am so tempted.but no sure on losing KDB!

          Captain this week mate?

            Firstly would wait and see if City going going to get DGW in 29. If so then KDB stays. Otherwise yes if DCL to Vardy affordable would probably make moves. Just not sure about losing Ings though.

            Got within 3 points of ML lead. The 3 others in contention have Salah but no one has Mané- so think will captain Salah as owning Mané a differential in itself.

            1. Rinseboy
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              make sense. Salah does feel like.a safe choice.
              When is this DGW gonna be announced?!

                4 years, 2 months ago

                Apparently before tomorrow’s deadline ( if there is to be one). More likely if Olympiakos beat Arsenal I think

                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  cheers mate. Yeah KDB to Fernandes is so tempting and just have a feeling Vardy may go on a run anytime soon

    What is an alternative to fplstatistics site, as that appears to be down? Cheers

        A bit less accurate from experience - still okay

        1. Bennerman
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers. I was trying to wait on Fernandes but I don't want him to get away too much in price and think I need to advance him into my squad right away. Would like to know whether he's going up. But either way I'm pretty sure Grealish is going down so would need to do it tonight anyway.

          I've got Bruno fever. It was going to be Mount for no hit, now it's Fernandes for a hit.

    Is Richarlison > Bruno Fernandes a silly move?

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sideways

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No, not in the long term.

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sideways as both have same level of fixture difficulty over the next 3.

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I guess Bruno is gonna increase again soon tho and then I’m priced out

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years

          buy him if it makes you happy

  4. Jones Kusi

    Don’t know what to do, all help appreciated

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

  5. Steve The Spud

    Chances of Traore starting Sunday?

    1. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Slim but suspect 20 minutes

  6. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance martial might be just rested so he doesn’t make his injury worse? Already took a hit to get him in, now this 🙁 bollocks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Slim

    2. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it , could be just a niggle but suspect something more as not on bench

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Mahrez -> Anyone up to 8.4 worth a hit?

    McCarthy
    Trent Gomez Lascelles Rico Taylor
    Salah Fernandes Cantwell (KDB Mahrez)
    Vardy(C) Ings (Auba)

    Would like to bench Rico.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  12. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years

    Thoughts on below.

    a. Lundy, Grealish and Connolly > Boly, Armstrong and Jimi

    b. Lundy, Grealish and Connolly > Sais, Armstrong and Jota

    c. Traore, Grealish and Connolly > Fernandes, Saka and Jota

    d. Grealish and Connolly > Barnes and Jota

  13. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Sorry gonna be a dullard and ask is there an article explaining the upcoming doubles and blanks?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for the fa cup games, will know more after that.

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ben Crellin twitter feed.

      But yeah if you wait til after the fa cup games next week, it should become a lot clearer.

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno close.

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      hahaha

  15. Igz08
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy captain so tempting. Early game week curse though?

    1. DRINKWINE
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Remember that game against Southampton (0-9)...

      1. Igz08
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Transferred him in and had him vc that week

  16. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it silly to do Martial to Fernandes before further news (tonight)?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      This is the question.. bruno looks to be increasing, am.tempted myself, have 1 ft.

    2. pjanns
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I will do it. 🙂 He also looks more involved than Martial

  17. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I have 1ft.

    Was thinking Grealish > Barnes but is it worth taking a hit and shifting Traore and KDB > Fernandes and Maddison?

    Traore starting worries me and I will have 13 playing this GW

  18. Shark Team
    • 6 Years

    Leno super save!!!

  19. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Celtic are coefficient traitors

  20. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal all over the place

  21. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Had a look, but can't find anything.
    If villa do have a dgw, do we know who they'll be playing?
    Trying to decide whether to lose traore or grealish

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Their game vs SHU needs to be rearranged. NEW in 31 might need to be too.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm OK, thanks

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I think West Brom will beat Newcastle

  22. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any United fans watched young Chong play much?Iv watched him a few times and havnt really seen anything special from him or am I being harsh?

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      he can be waiter i think more than a football player

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Youre not being harsh. Hes had a lot of cameos at this point and he has never done anything to show that hes a future PL level player.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah thought that I havnt seen anything to suggest he has anything about him plenty of other younger players with greater potential IMO

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not good enough by the looks of it. A criminal miss earlier this season in the Europa League sums it up..

  23. Totti
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    martial to :

    A) bruno
    B) richarlison

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Both about the same just go with your gut .

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Rabona penalty

        1. Tcheco
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          That's it Richarlison(C)

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Went with Bruno as a United supporter. Both good picks IMO

    4. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  24. Monya Meow Meow
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Traore is causing me some anxiety for this upcoming blank GW...

  25. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    They score 1 more goal and we are out of the Europa league.. damn man

  26. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    In Draft, would you sell Pulisic for any of these?

    A) Armstrong (whu)
    B) Oxlade-Chamberlain (wat)
    C) Pedro (bou)

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  27. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Martial really screwing me over here

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      in what way?

  28. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Have Martial and a non playing bench.

    A hit may be on the cards.

  29. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I can do Grealish,DCL or Ings > Fernandes,Vardy for -4.

    Do t know if I really want Vardy though.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      *dont

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just do Grealish -> Fernandes then

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        and no Leicester?

        Worth a -4 to do either Digne or Williams > Periera
        Or Traore > Barnes?

    3. Totti
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      keep,vardy mate for those juicy fixtures

  30. Pompel
    • 10 Years
