    McCarthy
    Dallas Coufal/Lamptey Chilwell
    Bruno De Bruyne Jota Grealish
    Bamford Kane Vardy.

    Three questions.
    A. Would you do bruno to Salah for a hit.
    B.Play Coufal or Lamptey?
    C. Who to captain?
    Any thoughts would be welcome.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would sell KDB

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A.No, not if you want him back the week after
      B. Coufal

      C. Kane, Vardy or De Bruyne in that order

    3. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A) I wouldn't, no. I'd rather sell De Bruyne for a hit to get Salah as I feel Fernandes is a stronger captain pick in gwks 13&14 than De Bruyne is.
        B) Don't see a cs between them so I'd go with Lamptey for his slightly better chance of an assist. Decent chance they both whiff though and get a point apiece.
        C) If you get Salah for a hit, then Salah. If not it's a close call between Kane and Vardy for me. I'd lean towards Vardy myself.

          Cheers for your thoughts.

    4. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A. No, not now.
      B. Coufal
      C. Vardy or KDB

        Reply fail, sorry Da Minnion ^^^

      Jota to Pulisic for a hit?

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

        Nah, not for a hit. Jota could still get returns against Fulham

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i wouldnt

      3. douglas1500
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No pulisic might not even start

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Pulisic will start. CHO & Ziyech are out injured

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

        Neither are certain starters, and the -4 will hurt

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

        Save yourself the pain, don’t pick him.

        Actually, go ahead, pick him up lol

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

      I previously asked about the TV though, in order to really guage everyone's teams, people recommended surveying about the SV instead.

      So what's everyone's Squad Value at the moment? This is the value of your team excluding the money ITB.

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

        I'm personally sitting at 104.4 only due to cash cows Chilwell, DCL and Kane raking it in early on ^

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

        You should include the bank money.

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

          Only asking cuz I emptied mine into my squad this week 😀

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

        105.6m

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

          :O that is incredible

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

          absolutely no way you have a TV of 105.6

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

              I meant to say selling value and assumed OP was talking about that since that's the most relevant.

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

        105.9 + 0.1 itb, but my rank is rubbish - I took too many hits chasing last weeks points in the first few weeks.
        Points are more important

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

          That's SV

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

        No. SV is selling value i think. The money u have when u go transfers and remove everyone and how much u have to spend then. That's 102.5 for me.

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

          I'm confused... I thought sv was squad value. Sigh.
          My sale value is 103.1

    7. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think I am going without KDB. Will get Kane instead who is 1m cheaper and better and reliable in this festive period

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

        Same, I already have Kane, Vardy, Salah, and Bruno. Forcing KDB in over any of them seems illogical at the moment, especially since City have yet to put together a string of good performances in the league

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        do you own Son? just curious if that has a bearing on the call

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't skip KdB. He's even better than he was last year. More goal attempts, more involved attacking. Before he was playing deeper, now they rely on him to create.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          But will be heavily rotated no? I dont know when I can captain him.

          Will you give him the armband against WBA when he will be probably rested and against New when Salah has WBA? After the Liverpool game I am getting Kane and enjoying by not worrying the team sheets

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

            No he will not be. He didn't get rested during the Christmas period last year.

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

            Why will kdb be rested against wba, and salah will play?

      4. Carcetti
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        same

      5. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Madness

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Why?

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            He is second most expensive asset after Salah. I don't count Mane and Auba as possibilities and a rotation risk

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Salah wins against him

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

            KDBs fixtures after UTD looks prime. City starting to score goals and KDB looksmore dangerous than other years having more goal attempts. Assists and Pens are a given too.

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Which fixtures exactly ? WBA when he is probably rested and New when Salah has WBA ?

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

                Kane a great choice. But I think KDB is as good and he has a massive score coming soon. Glad I have him.

                1. FPL Daniel
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  You can't have them all

                  1. FC Hakkebøf
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    You're assuming he will be rested. Not sure that is the case at all

      6. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        KdB, Trent & Jota 😉

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

      A: PvA (TOT) to Ayling (WHU)
      B: bank FT

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        WHU will score imo

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

          was leaning B
          more options next week

        2. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          thanks for the reply

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A day later but thanks if you read back

    9. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Any suggestions guys? Not even sure who to bench this GW

      2ft 0.0itb.

      McCarthy
      Dias Chilwell Justin Dallas
      Jota Salah KDB Grealish
      Vardy Bamford

      Forster DCL Kilman Riedewald

      1. Magpies4ever
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’d bench Dallas over dcl for sure

        1. OleBall
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I want DCL out really, to free up some funds.

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

        Dcl will get 90 mins... jota..?

    10. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone think Villa will keep a clean sheet or nah ?

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

        Very possible.

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i thought WBA had a chance at the weekend 🙂

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Haha

      3. Arthur Shelby
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Decent chance imo

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Naaah. Martinez is the new Ryan

    11. Magpies4ever
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have 1FT had enough to do Ziyech to Salah, am I crazy to do a 1 week punt on Aubameyang vs Burnley now that Salah might get benched?

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

        go salah

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Salah (c)

      3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Might as well get Ozil

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

          this. Do Salah (C) mate that fulham defense has no legs

          1. Magpies4ever
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Surely he gets benched now with 2 bigger games in the next 7 days after?

    12. Arthur Shelby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Already reconsidered my eariler 50/50...

      a) DCL, Ings, (Soucek)
      b) Kane, Adams, (Soucek)
      c) Son, DCL, (Brewster)

      (Bench players in brackets)

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

      What are these chances of starting?

      Torres
      Mahrez

      Keep both?

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

        Sterling Mahrez and Jesus probably

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

        Given Sterling subbed on, low for Torres.
        Mahrez likely to start.

    14. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Martinez
      Trent (vc) Dias Coufal James
      Salah(c) De Bruyne Son Zaha
      Bamford Calvert-Lewin

      Bissouma Brewster

      Gtg??

    15. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The games in early December that run Sat, Tues and Sat, Salah was benched in either or of the sat, tues, sat. Looks like he started all the CL too.

      Last year he was benched v EVerton at home then he started v BOU. He was also benched in a game late Nov v Palace

      2018 he was benched v Burnley then scored the hat trick v BOU

      Now we have a run of games Sat, Tues, Sat

      1. Carcetti
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        everyone chill, he starts or doesn't stop trying to guess

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

          Eh

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

          It's fine if he's in your squad long term. It matters hugely if (like me) you are considering bringing him in to captain him before taking him back out again for KDB. In that case, it's not worth the risk if there's a chance he is rotated at the weekend.

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

        So what's the prediction?

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

          Eh

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

            What game does he start from the bench if any?

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

              Not really that bothered. Just offering info for those who are

              1. TorresMagic™

      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry repost folks.. bottomed...
      Evening all!!! Bit of advice warmly welcomed here regarding my most fruitful captain options this week out of these....
      A- Vardy
      B-KDB
      C- Bruno
      D- Son
      E- Mane -4(lose KDB and get back straight away)
      Many thanks!!!

      1. Carcetti
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        D

      2. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Don't do E.
        Captain either D or A, I'm going A.

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks mate I’d put it on A with D as vice captain initially so nice to here some other thoughts on it, If is not seen the Leicester highlights form the weekend I would have gone for D, but Vardy looked sharp in my opinion and Brighton could be a better sort of game for him

      3. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A or D on fixture.. son out of those, Leicester are unconvincing

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers mate it’s definitely out of those 2, and agree about Leicester but Vardy did look sharp last weekend and as I said above Brighton could be a better sort of game for Vardy to have space to run in behind, Son is a great option too, will go to the wire this decision I think haha

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I mean 1 through ball, and Vardy does not miss, also has the edge on penalty kicks.. I also think De Bruyne is a decent choice with his midweek rest, also will be low (c) option

            1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah absolutely right mate, he’s clinical, could easily have had a brace last weekend too, I think KDB could be a good bet too, hard to predict how a derby goes tho, so I’d probably lean towards Vardy by then end of the week

        Hey buddy! How’s it going? I would captain a penalty taker for starters so that rules out D and E esp as you would bring the latter for a 4 point hit. Not interested in players who are playing a local derby match so that rules out B and C. So based on this algorithm, A would appear to be the best pick. Haha!!

          Hiya mate, yeah I agree to all of those comments mate, we don’t know what sort of game City and United will be so hard to predict, my first thought was Vardy captain and Son vice so will probably stick with that, I was going to do KDB to Salah and Captain him for -4, and switch back straight away but don’t think i shall do that now, would you do it still? Seems too much of a risk after tonight’s proceedings?

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

            It’s a tricky situation really. Salah could be rested against Fulham this week and KDB could rested against WBA next week. In my view, the prudent approach would be to keep KDB. Mane is also an option but he hasn’t looked too sharp recently so wouldn’t bring him in. Despite how I applied the algorithm above, Son is also a great option as Palace are leaky on the right hand side of the pitch.

            On a separate matter, who would you say is the best defender for gameweeks 12 to 15 from the following-

            A. Lewis (WBA, lee, FUL, mci)
            B. Taylor (ars, avl, WOL, lee)
            C. Alioski/Cooper (WHU, NEW, mun, BUR)
            D. Balbuena (lee, CRY, che, BHA)
            E. White/Webster (lei, ful, SHU, whu)

              Yeah completely agree mate, it’s soooi tricky this season!!! Haha it give me a headache haha
              Oooh.... not the Brighton defenders for a start haha, I have Lewis had him since gameweek 1(unfortunately) bit he has a double gameweek as does Taylor and Balbuena so those would be factors I’d look at, Leeds definitely have the better upcoming fixtures tho, so a tricky decision, maybe Leeds defender then switch to Balbuena for the double game week ? Or Lewis

                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Thanks, I actually made the moves earlier this week and discarded Vardy and Bellerin for Salah and the tried and tested Burnley defender in Sir Charlie Taylor.

                I’m not concerned about stock piling double gameweek players as I still have the wildcard in my back pocket.

                What’s your current overall rank mate? Seems like I have been hovering around the 360k to 400k mark for ages now!

                1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Solid nice mate!! I wish I had gone for Taylor this week instead I fell for the Lamptey trap haha, and want rid now straight away, will sell him for Coufal in the coming weeks, I’m the same mate bang on 300k,keep taking to many hits mate and early transfers, was burned by Cancelo this week took him out for Lamptey who got 1 point and did Steer to Johnstone who got zero!!!! Was part of a -8 too,gutting!! Hay ho lots of gameweeks Coming up!! I’ve only started 3 gameweeks without a minis balance this season that was gameweek 1 and gameweek 2 wildcard and gameweek 5 Free hit coz my team was in a mess, so to be where I am is a bit of a miracle really, I’d be a heck of a lot higher if I’d have more patience haha

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

                    That’s a great rank and you will improve that further given the number gameweeks that are still remaining.

                    As a KDB non owner, I was shaking 30 mins into the City vs Fulham game last week when KDB already had a goal and an assist next to his name. And when the Bruno (c) not starting against West Ham news broke through, it seemed like it was just a damage limitation job. Two days later, I finished on 70 points with a small green arrow.

                    I could have followed the crowd and also brought in KDB but I wanted to bring in Salah this week as part of a longer term strategy. That said, it appears that could now be a flop decision given the rotation risk.

                    FPL is a bit of a roller coaster ride but who doesn’t enjoy roller coasters! Haha!

                    All the best for the coming game week mate. 🙂

                      Yeah your right mate it is, after Saturday I was in a great position but the Kane and Salah exploded too but I had Son and Vardy and dropped still to where I am now, and Pool and Spurs clean sheets too everything that could have gone against me Sunday did haha, and the left only Lamptey left on Monday and that was rubbish haha, best of luck this week to you too mate, speak soon buddy!!!

    17. Carcetti
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A) Ings + Bamford

      B) Kane

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

        who starts with kane?

        need 2v2 for clearer picture

    18. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely worried about Salah playing the full 90 tonight. What on earth was going on there?

      Mané & Firmino not seen until well into the game. Even Jota came off just before the end & not Salah.

      Is Klopp planning a Salah rest v’s Fulham? Or am I reading too much into this?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone is, Liverpool still have to put there best team out to keep momentum, no chance klopp will bench him..

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Admit it. It's most logical to rest him against Fulham since they are the weakest opponent.

          Because that would have been that long of a break and will mean loosing sharpness he plays 90 today.

          Simple

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            But he got his rest vs Brighton.. One of the fittest players in league, who doesn’t need any rest..

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

            Will start to keep him sharp and confidence high ready for Spurs, makes no sense to rest him and be more rusty for Spurs

      2. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It makes sense if you apply logic yes. Spurs on Wed then palace early Sat ko.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Agree

      3. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe giving him minutes to get his sharpness back after his covid absence. Who knows.

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

        Played the full 90 three times in eight days, so could see his minutes managed on Sunday, for sure. He did recently skip a game and only played 63 minutes against Brighton before that though, so I can see him at least starting. Can't imagine Fulham should prove too taxing.

      5. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        don't think we should start playing klopp roulette
        until we hear otherwise, expect Salah to start at the weekend
        more chance of not starting vs Palace (after Spurs game) imo

    19. Arthur Shelby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do we reckon Jota starts at the weekend? I would tend to say yes, maybe in a 4-2-3-1

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He won't imo.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nope. Mane, Firmino, Salah. Salah gets like 70 mins unless they're not winning.

      3. Arthur Shelby
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Interesting. Cheers guys. Tempted to ship

      4. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        he will imo... i mean he had his rest last week. he doesn't need another one just because he played tonight

      5. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        seeing as though gini and jones both didn't play this week, I feel Klopp goes 433 with hendo in the middle and usual front 3 with Jota coming on as fresh legs

    20. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is Rodriguez to Jota still a good move?

      Martinez
      James - Robertson - Dallas
      KDB - Salah - Son - Grealish - Rodriguez
      DCL - Bamford
      (Peacock-Farrell) (Lamptey) (Brewster) (Mitchell)

      1 FT - 0.9 ITB

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I would be tempted by Pulisic

          1. Reeker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Could get Bruno in but it would be at the cost of Grealish

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

          Thinking switch back to 3-4-3 maybe

      2. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Jota is the type of player that becomes a concern the moment you get him. Heis not a regular enough starter to justify a position on my team with so much other stuff flying about. A playing mid. If you arepunty Greenwood seems like a much better option than Jota and looks like he will trump jota for minutes from here on in

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

        If you have jota, you have to play him week in, week out and take the 1 points with the 8 pointers.
        Overall, he will score well, for his price.

    21. Salalalalah
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Play JWP (SHU) or DCL (CHE) next week?

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        JWP maybe

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

          JWP is normally just a free kick away to be in points, good benching headache : )

        2. Arctic monkeys

          Hey TM, any plans to get Salah in ? I have Bruno Kdb and son and have no idea what to do

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            No idea, could save, could take a -8

            1. Arctic monkeys
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

    22. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      So with all the Salah scare mongering are people still going to Captain him?

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

        Yup.

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep locked in..

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

        Yes, no clear caption option unless you have Kane, so don't overthink much. He can score even in last 20 min from bench

      4. Arctic monkeys
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No brainer if you own him

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

        Yep, fully expect him to start and come off early, wouldn’t make sense to give him the last 20 mins or so

      6. Harn1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Just the casuals.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

    23. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What to do here?

      A) roll the transfer, and next week do something like Vardy/Barkley/Targett > Watkins/Jota/Grealish/Dias/etc in a mini WC

      B) take a hit this week to get Vardy & Barkley > Ings/other & Jota

      C) something else

      Martinez
      Robbo Zouma Lamptey
      Son Bruno KDB Soucek
      Vardy DCL Adams
      (Forster Barkley Targett Kilman)

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

        I like B, Vardy’s poor home form and Leicester look dreadful at the moment, Ings has SHU, if i hadn’t already taken a hit I’d of brought Ings in

    24. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So stuck. 2FT 0.1itb

      McCarthy
      KWP Coufal Chilwell
      Son Bruno Greal Mahrez
      DCL Werner Vardy
      (Nyland, Podence, Konsa, Mitchell)

      Thinking Mahrez, Vardy, Podence to Mane, Wilson, fodder

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

        Werner/Vardy downgrade and Podence to KDB?

    25. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mo Salah or No Salah.....

      A) Werner + Grealish >> Brewster + Salah -4

      B) don’t do it and roll FT (cap Vardy / Son / KDB)

      Martinez
      James • Robertson • Chilwell
      Grealish • KDB • Son • Podence
      Werner • DCL • Vardy

      Steer / Coufal / Lamptey / Bissouma

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

        No thanks. Would keep Werner if I had him.

    26. doppelganger

      What goalkeeper is the best for next 10gw, price is no concern

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Meslier looks a good bet imo

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

        Ederson

      3. Harn1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lloris

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

        Lloris

    27. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      McCarthy
      Chilwell - Dias - Alioski
      Bruno - Mane - Ziyech* - Jota
      Jesus* - Werner - Bamford

      Biggest shambles that needs to be removed from this team first? I have 1FT and 0.3m itb so was considering Mane > Salah this week however I'm thinking Mane is at least certain to play on Sunday having been on the bench this evening. Jesus has also been a bit of a disaster and Aguero is now coming back into the fold. Finally, Ziyech is injured and there are a fair few interesting options to choose from at his price point. Any advice?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech is definitely out, so he's the priority, I should think.

      2. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think the Salah hype on here is a bit ott personally. How about Wilson and KDB or Son (for Ziyech and Jesus)?

        1. Groot the Leveller
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Quite like that option

    28. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pick one

      A) Dallas
      B) Vestegaard
      C) Dier
      D) Jamal Lewis
      E) Konsa

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        B or C,

        B more chance or scoring
        C more chance of cleanies.

        1. Groot the Leveller
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Any thoughts on Mount?It seems he is nailed,at 6.8 on corners and set pieces,with good fixtures.3 assists and 3 cs in the last 5 games.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I would rather take pulisic

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He is too expensive and with the likes of Fernandes,Son,Salah,Kdb it's not easy to fit him in.

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

          Good god no not him

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

        He’s a great shout mate. Go for it

      3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Listened to the scoutcast?
        Mount looks good if giroud plays

    30. Letsgo!
