    Would you take a hit to do kdb to sterling ?

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

      No

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your other two city players

      If your other players aren’t explosive three yes

      1. Pickle juice
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Other 2 are mahrez and dsliva

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I’d do it then. But that’s just me

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.

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

      I did

  2. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Pulisic or Jimenez?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi, on the basis that if either of them are going to haul it'll probably be the more explosive Pulisic. Might as well aim big.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point. Haven’t looked at it like that. Cheers!

  3. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If we get early news of Jesus starting will you put him in?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Assuming we also get news on who starts in midfield, no.

  4. flipthebuzzard
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Leading leagues, on FH

    Good to go?

    Pope
    Taa Long Mendy Dignes
    Sterling Dilva Fernándes Son
    Rashford Ings

    ?

    Cheers lads

    1. flipthebuzzard
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just into global 10k this week

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You have more faith in United than most on FHs do.

      If you're happy with that judgement call (which could go either way) then it's a strong team. More in defence than I'd personally like but then they are very attacking defenders so it might work well.

  5. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    FH Team, Thoughts?

    Martinez
    Tierny, Pieters, Aurier
    Salah, (S)terling, D.Silva, Richarlison, Stanilas
    Kane, Aubameyang

    Button, Greenwood, Williams, 3.9 D

    1. flipthebuzzard
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. All picks justifiable, like the puntiness.

  6. Pickle juice
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone on mahrez as diferential capt ??

  7. antis0cial
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get Kane for -4 instead of Jime? Would have to do tonight. Top of tight pay league 2nd has Jime. Unnecessary risk?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Unnecessary risk!

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you think your rival might make that move!

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hey fam! What would you do with this lot? 1 FT 0.2 ITB

    DDG (Nyland)
    TAA Egan Bardsley (Saiss Lascelles)
    Sterling Salah Bruno Antonio Pulisic
    Jesus Wood (Greenwood)

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait to see if we get team news, particularly around Jesus.

      If all play or no news, bring in Dilva for either Bruno or Pulisic.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate

    2. flipthebuzzard
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great!... Possible Long over Bardsly...?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Naah, waste of FT! Cheers!

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

      I'd consider playing Greenwood over Wood tbh. Lei def is a shambles atm.

  9. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Assuming all play, would you rather have:

    A) TAA + Foden
    B) 5m def + Mahrez

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  10. Subzero (-4)

    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any interest in firminho against Newcastle? Is it genius or dillusion? 😉

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

      Could be good

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Origi I reckon will start.

        Allison
        Williams Gomez Lovern Rob
        Keita Milner
        Salah. Chamber. Milo
        Origi

        1. Subzero (-4)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Any reason why you suspect huge rotation?

          1. Ange Ball
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            gives other players chance

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Genius

      1. Subzero (-4)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I want to move on rashford so it was going to be ings but can't help the look of firminho. Can't afford Kane without a hit

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I was just looking at this, just not sure about game time. Its either Wood or Firmino -4 for me, for also Rashford as needing to chase!

      1. Subzero (-4)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm looking for a differential this week but don't want to do something to extreme. Why do you think firminho won't start?

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think he wont start but do reckon reduced minutes to give Origi a run out!

          1. Subzero (-4)
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Sorry, misunderstood mate. Good point. I might keep rashford then and swap Jimenez to ings.

    4. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You are a genius.

      1. Subzero (-4)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol 😉

  11. jtaylor500
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Doherty to Robertson -4

    Yes or no?

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      no

  12. Nightf0x
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Whom out to dsilva
    Puli bruno mane kdb sterling

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely Puli or Bruno. Might lean towards losing Bruno as he looks tired while Pulisic is both rested and in form.

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno.

      Puli is fire

    3. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      bruno or Kdb

  13. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane or Auba?

    No free hit so can’t have both.

    Can’t shake that feeling of Auba getting a hatrick to share the golden boot with Vardy.

    Feel Kane will also do well, Palace look terrible.

    What’s everyone doing?

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

      Auba but that's purely because rival has Kane.

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’m fairly fortunate because my rival doesn’t have sterling and only 1 FT. I assume he’ll be going full on to bring him in so I don’t think he’ll bring in Kane or Auba.

    2. Whiskerz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Most are on kane and if I had to choose and didn't have son I'd go kane.

  14. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more? A or B?

    A) Bardsley + KDB
    B) Robbo + Mahrez

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It could go either way but a gets my vote.

    3. Whiskerz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have to think B has the higher ceiling.

    4. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No idea who will score more but I would go with B. More fun if nothing else.

  15. Salah_Fingers
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Yay or Nay

    Doherty and foden to pieters and David silva?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      yay

  16. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Digne and Antonio
    Or
    B) Pieters and Fernandes

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pieters & Antonio

    2. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      a

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      Digne has a much higher points ceiling than Pieters.

      Just ran the stats on Antonio and Fernandes, there isn't much in it, I think I'll go for the one with the easier fixture who also enables me to get Digne.

      Thanks for the replies.

  17. HD7
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I lead in my ML with 19 pts before the final GW. However my opponent has his Triple Captain available and 2 FT:

    Me:

    1 FT

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Fernandez
    Salah, Bruno, KDB, Martial,
    Greenwood, Jimi, Auba

    Button, Robinson, Taylor, Hayden

    My opponent:

    2 FT

    Patricio
    Digne, Doherty, Aurier
    Sterling, Bruno, KDB, Martial
    Greenwood, Jimi, Jesus

    I think its feasible to make Salah Jimi to Sterling Jesus (-4) and bet he will Triple captain Sterling? “Cover him” tactic

    I think he will make Doherty Jimi to Burnley defender and Auba. At least this is what I would do with his 2 FT.

    I would appreciate all the input, mates!

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

      Judging by your opponents players, firstly yes to him going Sterl (TC)
      secondly I agree regarding your thoughts on his transfers but keep in mind either Bruno or martial could be shafted for Son but otherwise he can only go lower.
      The extra cash from Doherty > Burnley def +Bruno = 11.9+/- ( depending on when he got him), is his limit which prevents Salah/Mane unless he has 0.6/0.3 currently itb

      He can also go Kane instead of Auba so keep that in mind

      otherwise I'd say your intended transfers are gtg

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thank your for you time and input, mate!
        Of course we cant know his two transfers. But I have a feeling he might touch his Gk because Doherty can still make assists.
        As for the covering I have already done Salah to Sterling.
        Not sure If I have to take a hit Jimi to Jesus though... it will easily reduce the lead to 15 even before matches started.
        Im wondering if my Ncastle defender to Walker or Laporte is worth the hit?
        Fernandez can easily go to 0 or even -1, -2. Then again he can do something good from a corner...
        Your view?

  18. Akeem
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    BENCH

    A) Maguire (lei)
    B) Doherty (che)

    Triple City for a hit: Too crazy/risky?

    Vardy, Pulisic, Bruno > Sterling(tc), Dilva, Wood (-4)

    ML lead is 31; my TC vs. his FH

    1. Evans

      TC DSilva

  26. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How's this team looking for the final game week?

    McCarthy
    Saiss / Maguire / Doherty
    Martial / D Silva / Sterling (c) / Salah
    Kane / Wood / Ings

    Patricio / Foden / Holgate / Lascelles

    1. Evans
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DSilva captain but nice

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If i go 343 with greenwood instead or 352 with martial i could have this defence

    pope
    robertson taa aurier

    worth it ?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      yes - looking to do the same with pool def

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Pope
        Pieters – Bardsley – TAA – Robbo
        Salah – Sterling – KdB – Dilva
        Kane – Greenwood
        (Martin) (Nketiah - Williams – 4.1)

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

        Me too, although sadly I'm 0.2 short of Pope. I think I will hope Burnley concede anyway, I want differentials and having exactly 1 Burnley is pointless for that purpose.

    2. Whiskerz
      • 13 Years

      Whats the rest of the team?
