    How's this FH team looking?

    Martinez
    Robbo / TAA / Pieters
    Salah / Sterling / KDB / D.Silva / Antonio
    Kane / Greenwood

    (Button / Nketiah / Branthwaite / Williams)

    0.4 ITB

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

  2. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Help!

    A) Martial and Jesus

    or

    B) KDB and Ings

    1. Releasebreaks
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  3. Wally711

    Anyone feel the site will crash like 10 mins before the deadline?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      why? How? FPL or FFS?

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nah only 25% active managers atm

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That's still almost 2 million users...

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          And 1% of that waiting for leaked news

  4. bhh

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it going to be necessary to have a Man U asset for GW38. Most of my drafts so far have been Man City and Tottenham heavy and haven't featured any players from United. I do need to be a bit risky with my team and take a few punts, but still can't help thinking I need to find a way to get Martial in there!

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think it's necessary, I'm getting Martial for the sole reason to block my rival

      1. bhh
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fair enough. It's between son and martial for me at the moment. thinking son is the sort of differential player I need in my team this week with potentially a high point ceiling

  5. Don Kloppeone
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would a 4-4-2 be madness instead FH?!

    A) Pieters, (Williams), Antonio
    B) Tarko, Aurier, (Rice)

    Pope
    TAA, Laporte, XXXX, XXXX
    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Puli, XXXX
    Kane, Ings
    (Martin) (Greenwood, , Simpson)

    1. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. It’s what I’m currently on but that 4-4-2 is pretty tempting!

  6. Rex Lapis
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Play Greenwood or Foden?

    1. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden. Should be starting on Sunday (rested during the week and it's a home game)

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Foden played 90 minutes

        1. bhh
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          mb. didn't pay any much attention as to who was playing in that game apart from the players I had in my own team

    2. Connor Wickham
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Greenwood unless leak foden starts

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden. City will run riot, and remember 5 subs

    4. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Greenwood

  7. Connor Wickham
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Think I've decided to go without Trent and Mo on free hit. Surely Lallana Milner Origi all play with some defensive changes too perhaps. Not sure if there will be enough drive and cohesion to perform well. Logical or crazy?

    1. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not to keen on Liverpool for 38. They've lifted the trophy and don't really have anything to prove. Would rather be spending the big bucks on Sterling rather than Salah and cheaping out the defence to increase funds in the middle

      1. Connor Wickham
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep agreed. Gl bud

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you're chasing hard. Mo will want goals

      1. Connor Wickham
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        20 point lead atm but only 1 rival with free hit and other is without any pool players. Not sure where to spend the cash so maybe better just to leave him and not expect much. I guess it comes down to Salah or Auba?

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keep both,they can haul easy and destroy your rank

      1. Connor Wickham
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You do speak sense. I'll sleep on it, ty and gl

  8. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Bardsley

    Bruno Martial Salah Sterling Foden

    Greenwood Ings (DCL)

    3.6 in the bank 1 FT

    How can I best utilize 3.6 and 1 FT here

    1. Foden to Dilva/Mahrez/Antonio
    2. Ings to Auba/Kane (in this case have to bench Foden and Play DCL)

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get Dilva and captain

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah currently on that - But I guess I will captain Sterling

  9. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, I’m -9 points behind ML rival. He has FH, I don’t.

    Current team:
    Ederson (Martinez)
    TAA Tarkowski Keane (Dunk Saiss)
    Salah Dilva Pulisic Martial (Bruno)
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    A. Vardy Martial Bruno > Kane Sterling 4.5bench (-8)
    B. Pulisic Bruno > Sterling 4.5bench (-4)
    C. Vardy Keane > Kane Pieters (-4)

    1. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go for C personally; don't think the 8 point hit is worth it given the players you get rid of. Probably be tempted to start Martinez

      1. Bleh
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate. I’d be benching Bruno anyway so it’d only really be Vardy & Martial leaving my team for the -8

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No need for -8 at all

      Salah ==> Sterling
      Vardy ==> Kane

      1. Bleh
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        -0.3 short of those moves 🙁

  10. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is jesus a trap?

    Rival has Salah and Kane and tbh my tv is lower than I thought and I can't really afford Kane and Salah

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have a look at his last 4 scores.....

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Are you on a FH?
      I think having 3 City this week should be first priority. So if you only have 2, I'd happily bring Jesus in. Having said that I don't have Jesus as I think he is the 4th or 5th best City option

    3. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm starting to overthink and his 90 minutes in gw37 doesn't look good to me.

    4. waldo666
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He very well could be, I've gone right off him tbh.

  11. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 of these would you start?

    1) Alonso (WOL)
    2) Aurier (cry)
    3) Tarkowski (BHA)

    Thanks in advance!

    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    FH:
    Martinez
    Aurier Bardsley Pieters
    Salah Sterling Mahrez Dilva Martial
    Kane Ings

    2.4 left over...

    Thoughts?

  13. waldo666
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Fining it really hard to ditch KDB and/or TAA but looks like one has to go to fit Sterling, either that or I go cheaper up top.

    A) Martinez TAA Mahrez
    B) Pope Aurier KDB
    C) Downgrade Auba

    1. Connor Wickham
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B or C

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      C if its to someone like Ings otherwise B

    4. waldo666
      • 16 Years

      Cheers all.

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch kdb imo. Might play deeper and give away set piece duties

      1. waldo666
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Bit of a guessing game, aye. Struggling to let him go even with the impending price fall.

  14. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can afford only Kane or Sterling. Which pairing then for 2FTs?

    1) Kane, Dilva
    2) Sterling, Wood

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      PS - Wood would start.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2

    4. Connor Wickham
      • 13 Years

      1

    6. YEAH PITCH!

      1

  15. Bring back Rafa
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    For everything who think Liverpool are gonna be hung over does that make Matt Ritchie an option?

    Good chance he either plays as a wing back or a more advanced role depending on how they line up. Could be plenty of goals and he's on pens too

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Crap at pens, nah.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

  16. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Leaning towards going for 2 MCI attackers instead of 3, in order to include representatives from all of MUN, CHE, ARS, TOT, SOU.
    Unfortunately LIV mids don't seem to fit this squad, but I plan having 1 of TAA/Robertson.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 citeh is enuff

  17. LloristheHounds
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A)
    Jesus, pulisic, Saiss
    To
    Kane, Dilva, aurier

    B)
    KDB, armstrong, Saiss
    To
    Dilva, son, aurier

    Both for - 8 hit??

    C)
    Or just do siass to aurier

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would go for both -8

    2. LloristheHounds
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Forgot to mention I'm leading ML by 28 points and 2nd has Dilva, KDB and jesus. I have sterlo, KDB, jesus

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On a FH, rival has Ings, Salah, KDB, Trent... I'm 4 points clear. Do I stear away from them or try to limit damage?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dodge Mo, gl.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Block everyone of his threats so get all 4

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who would you have instead of them?
      4 points is not much, and they might make some changes as well (whether they are on a FH or not).

  19. Isboo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Doherty Egan
    Bruno Martial Salah KDB
    Vardy Greenwood Ings

    2 FT
    2.9 ITB

    Bruno, Martial > Sterling, Dilva?

    1. FPLGyarados
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've all 4 but yeah

    2. joelsprylar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      YES

  20. joelsprylar
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best out of these?

    1) Antonio, Salah and Mendy

    or

    2) De Bruyne, Martial and Digne

    1. FPLGyarados
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 if KDB starts

  21. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1st FH attempt.

    Martinez

    TAA/Pieters/Aurier

    Sterling(c)/Dilva/Pulisic/
    Martial

    Kane/Auba/Jesus

    (Brantwithe/Luiz/Williams)

    I'm not convinced and I'm chasing 36 pts.

    1. joelsprylar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't really understand how you can afford that attacking line. Whats the team value?

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Actually worse than I thought 104.8

        Had to get rid of Salah to afford.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Most will dump Kev, you buy. Get Robbo &Ings. Dump Pulis, go Stanislas.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good team but not sure if you can catch up 36pts. Lack of differentials

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I know. Any suggestions?

  22. The Mighty Hippo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm not really chasing anything or at risk of a crucial ML position going into the final week, other than my final OR.

    So - D.Silva for captain, as a fond farewell to an amazing player? Yes or no?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.same position here. DSilva cap here.

    2. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who else you got but probably a good shout. Shouldn't be relying on early team news either, Dilva is defo gonna start

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Last game I’d say he starts and they captain him for last game too.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva or raheem for me

  23. bhh
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Clearly Martinez is the most popular choice, but is Ramsdale an equal if not better choice at the same price.

    Arsenal will be playing a Watford side needing a result and going for goals. Although Martinez is a good shot stopper, I think there's a good chance Watford score at some point.

    Bournemouth will be putting everything on the line, which will involve ensuring they don't concede as well as going for goal. Everton have also been fairly useless since the restart.

    Might seem a bid of an odd suggestion but let me know what you think of it

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bournemouth keeper.. playing for their lives

  24. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    anything worth taking the hit for?

    Pope
    Boly TAA Pieters
    KDB Mahrez Salah Bruno Pulisic
    Kane Ings (Greenwood)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I did kdb to raheem for a hit

    2. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez/Pulisic -> Dilva possibly

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Boly->Otamendi/Garcia

  25. FreddyP3
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio or Pulisic?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      P

  26. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team? Already on -4.

    McCarthy
    TAA tark aurier
    Salah Sterling bruno dilva foden
    Vardy rashford

    Dubravka greenwood enda lamptey

    Who to captain?

    1. FreddyP3
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    2. Connor Wickham
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Decent team that. Keep ear out for early team news and maybe switch in Greenwood for foden. I'd go for Raheem captain unless chasing.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You don't think foden can get good points against nor even in let's say 25 minutes?

        1. Connor Wickham
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He certainly could. Just prefer 90 mins of Greenwood over 25 mins Foden.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Fair point. Cheers you two
