    A. DCL (CHE)
    B. Grealish (wol)

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry starter is Grealish

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You must have some team if you've got that benching problem!

      1. Mackans
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hehe, I’m going from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 so will sell Vardy & Jota to Brewster & Salah next week

    4. DMP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have Dcl, Grealish and Jota, and will be benching DCL.
      No Salah gives lots of budget elsewhere

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, and when Jota is benched, no Liverpool as well.!

  2. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Agueroooo

  3. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez & Vardy -> Salah & Watkins (-4) almost locked in but i’m not so sure now.

    Martinez Martin
    Justin Ayling Mitchell Robbo Chilwell
    Jota Son Mahrez Bruno Grealish
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    1 FT & 1.3 ITB

    Mahrez to....

    KDB or Salah? Other suggestion?

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bad transfers

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Saving the FT seems no option with Jota’s & Mahrez’ minutes this evening....

  4. aborg
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Agueroooooooo goal

  5. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez to Start v.s Manchester ?

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yup

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Saving the FT seems no option with Jota’s & Mahrez’ minutes this evening....

        1. King Kun Ta
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Oops

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Agueroooooooo

    It’s been far to long since I wrote that. Could get used to it again.

  7. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Aguerrrooooooooooo

  8. aborg
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I can’t wait to have Aguero back in the fray with all the other big hitters

  9. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you captain?

    A. Jota (ful)
    B. Vardy (BHA)

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not Jota

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My team and transfer are now a real headache! Like many others I guess

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

  11. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    When will Aguero be a viable FPL option?

    There is no better feeling in FPL than captaining a fully fit Aguero at home vs weak opposition.

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

      Home v WBA and Newcastle coming up sound good......

    2. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not nailed

    3. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      ...Only to find out Jesus starts instead

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah out to fund Aguero?

  13. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So after worrying about cancelo, taking him out for walker, walker getting rest and now playing tonight...now walker looks to be behind cancelo? I'm lost

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      buy a Chelsea Def instead. Its a lot less stressful

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kūn

  15. Gizzachance
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    thoughts appreciated on getting salah in ?
    son & vardy out -4 to salah{C} have kdb, bruno, grealish
    leaves 7.5 itb
    A bamford
    B tammy
    C other
    have dcl & wilson
    cheers

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Start thinking with taking Son out. He was 9.0 and is the highest scoring player, showing little sign of slowing down

      1. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers
        its ether son or bruno out to get salah in

  16. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy to Kun (c) could be thing for GW13

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I could see that - would be lovely to see him back and firing

      1. Atimis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Would take him as my City pick

  17. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Unfortunately I don't think Salad will start

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What about Salah?

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      "Mo, I was in contact with him, he had no issues and that was the reason why we left him on the pitch and why he started." - Jurgen Klopp

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I am here to dispel your worries my friend. A message from JK for you.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          That quote doesn't really mean anything at all for the next game. I'd like it to, but it doesnt

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            It's all we have to go on. Have faith Olson. Captain Salah with me. I know i would regret not captaining if he isn't benched.

          2. Drexl Spivey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Kinda does.

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

            Also yes it kinda does. Klopps basically saying he's still fit enough to start.

    3. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salad definitely not a starter

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely starts

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Salad is indeed a weak option. U need ur protein. Meat ftw!

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why he injured?

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      what happened with salah???

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nothing

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          haha ok thought i missed something 🙂

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Think its the usual BS wen he plays 90 minutes in CL and everyone starts thinking he won't start vs a weak team.

        He will.

        1. Saka Rice
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Mane will he won't he played 90 min thats usually a sign

    6. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Well, you don't win friends with salad...

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

      Hope not, always find salad disappointing as a starter

  18. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worth going from Jota to Zaha after FUL game? Can’t see Jota nailing a place and Zaha looks on decent form despite the fixtures

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Captain Kane or Son? And why?

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

      I think when spurs have to attack team for the majority of the game instead of on counter then Kane is the better captaincy pick out of the two

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate

  20. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I’m afraid to say that Aguero is finished as an FPL asset

    1. Atimis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because you say so?

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vazza knows

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      🙁

      I’ll never forget captaining him for his 5 goals vs Newcastle in 2015.

      Spamming Aguerrooooo at my mates who didn’t own him every time he scored - beautiful

      1. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I remember that as well 🙂

  21. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas what to do this week chaps?

    McCarthy
    James | Lamptey | Dallas
    Sterling | Bruno | Grealish | Jota
    Kane | Vardy | DCL

    Steer | Soucek | Kilman | Mitchell

    1FT, 0ITB

    Thanks

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling to Son? Who you gonna captain?

      1. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe Kane captain?

        1. SEXY SON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks, yes or Vardy

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

      Sterling to Son or roll FT

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Son is in my thinking

  22. Sewell36
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ayling or Dallas?
    Prefer Dallas but I may actually need the .1 for a future move as frustrating as it is

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

      Dallas, Ayling playing CB for the foreseeable

    2. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas

  23. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What was the point of me breaking my team up to bring in Salah who is now rotation risk...

    1. DMP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mane?

  24. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kun essential 😉

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A fit Kun out to prove his still got it vs WBA. Tempting

      1. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Very tempting. Probably a very decent differential for a minute or two

  25. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Good effort by Foden.

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    It’s going to be horrible on here when salah scores and everyone says ‘eGYpTian kINg’

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The ideal situation would be if Salah is initially benched, then comes on and scores a hat-trick. That way everyone hates everyone.

      1. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hahaha this. Amazing.

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hahaha that would be the funniest sh!t ever.

  27. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do this for -4?

    Jota and Vardy to Salah and Watkins

    1. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      probably - Bamford instead of watkins..??

  28. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane to Kun...done

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Um why?

      1. KUN+10
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sarcasm

  29. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mccarthy
    KWP Chilwell Dias
    Ziyech** KDB Bruno Grealish
    Vardy Watkins DCL
    (Forster, Cancelo, Riedwald, Kilman)
    2FT 1M ITB

    Any ideas? Was planning Vardy Ziyech > Salah Bamford for free

  30. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is DCL > Wilson for free worth it this week?

    Wilson up against WBA lee FUL
    DCL up against CHE lei ARS

    1. DMP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too much value tied on him. Season keeper.

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Who is going to have the most goals over the season?
