    Can't believe I haven't made a transfer in 20 days or so. Itching!

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. What will your masterpiece be?

        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        We all know it will be a wet fart.

    2. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You should do something mad like swap Salah for Havertz

      Cue the boring sanchez to guita transfer. Haha

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I did Steele to Foster last week. Played Sancez benched foster. Lol

    2 ft

    Antonio and Mbeumo to Wilson and Gallagher?

    1. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

  3. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2FT 0ITB

    Foster
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Livramento
    Salah Son Raph
    Vardy Antonio Toney

    Sanchez - Mbeumo Brownhill White

    Help needed pulling the trigger here:

    A) Vardy > Wilson, then Mbeumo + Toney > Jota + 7.7m-ish fwd next week

    B) Sanchez > Guaita, then Mbeumo + Toney > Gallagher + Hwang next week and keep Vardy

    1. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

      1. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years

        Thanks!

    1. Gazwaz80

      Message was to Hazz 🙂

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks ha. I'm actually saving FT. Surprisingly only of 1 FT. Early move last week before IB.

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      We all gonna die some day

  5. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any helps, don't know what to do.
    Have 2 FT and 0.0 ITB.

    Ramsdale - Foster
    TAA - Chilwel - Azpi - Cancelo - Livra
    Salah - Foden - Raph - Saka - Brownhill
    Vardy - Antonio - Toney

    Would like to get one of Kane or Son in, but can't see how..

    1. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy to pukki or Armstrong and raph or saka to son?

  6. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anybody starting Mount?

  7. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do and why?

    A. Havertz -> Jota (free)
    B. Havertz & Vardy -> Gallagher & Kane (-4)

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Same conundrum I’m in. It’s tough, I own son though so would be a double up

    2. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you own son then A or find a way to get son in in coming weeks.

    3. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A
      -4 is not worth it for Kane (he needs to score 3 this week, no penalties, for me to put him in.) Gallagher can’t keep it up, can he?

      1. Mackans
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking the same!

  8. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Jesus a worse option without KDB and Foden?

    I own Jesus and have the option to go:

    Jesus + Havertz > Kane + Bowen (-4)

    I already own Son. I do not own Jota. Or Havertz > Jota for free.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden likely plays ...

    2. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Easy..keep havertz and do the move next week.

  9. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Guys

    A) Kane esr Gallagher
    B) pukki/armatrong jota son

    1. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve put m money on pukki and son this week

    2. iL PiStOlErO

  10. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Holding foden?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would (non owner)

    2. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely.

  11. Ando
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do?

    a) Play Sarr (MUN)

    b) Play Vardy (CHE)

    c) Do Vardy ➡ Wilson for -4

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Il Capitano

  12. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    am i mad keeping ramsdale on a wc?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Stark raving

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah you’re mad keeping the best keeper below 5m..

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        not the best fixtures compared to guaita tho

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Then go Guaita. Just I think Ramsdale will keep more clean sheets over Guaita until the second wildcard and Arsenal are a better team than Palace (probably!)

  13. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Chilwell
    Salah Son Foden Raphinha Mbeumo
    Antonio

    Foster Jimenez Livramento Davis

    Final call, is this good to go?

    Thanks

  14. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How would you use the FT here?

    (2FTs & 0.0itb)

    Foster
    TAA - Chilwell - Cancelo - Livra
    Salah - Mane - Mount* - Foden*
    Antonio - Toney

    (Sanchez* - ESR - Manqillo - Davis)

    A) Mane/Mount—> Son/Jota
    B) Mount/Manquillo—> Gallahger/Reguillon
    C) Other (what?)

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      D) Trossard/Royal

    2. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  15. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Havertz/Vardy>Son/Wilson
    B. Havertz/Vardy>Kane & Gallagher/other

    A my gut preference. B makes the Ronaldo/Lukaku switch easier if needed.

    Foster
    TAA, James, Cancelo, Livra
    Salah, Havertz, Mbuemo
    Antonio, Jimmy, Vardy
    Ramsdale, Raphina, Duffy, Luiz

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      50/50. Go gut

  16. Big Hands Barry
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play
    A) Vardy (CHE)
    B) Livramento (nor)

    1. iL PiStOlErO

      A

  17. Hint
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench boost Toney Raph Mbuemo or nah?

    Have Foden but fancy him to play

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Seen many teams benching the following

    Vardy
    ESR
    Livramento
    Raphinha

    Hopefully another week of mega bench scores

  19. PattBrofield
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy and Dias to Kane and Reguilon for -4?

    (Would still leave me with Cancelo for city def cover)

    1. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hmmm not for me. I think City will keep a clean this week. I'm playing both Canc and Dias and crossing my fingers.

      1. PattBrofield
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, I’ve currently got dias on the bench for livramento …

  20. Alli
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Foden, Vardy > Jota, Kane
    B. Sarr, Vardy > Jota, Jesús

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo - Rudiger - TAA - Livramento
    Salah - Raph - Foden
    Toney - Vardy - Antonio

    Foster - Sarr - Manquillo - D.Luiz*

    1. Sal8
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I probably wouldn't sell Foden but presume you need to to fund the Kane move? In that case it could be a good move!

  21. Wheyyyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would really appreciate some deadline advice! Cheers all and good luck!

    1FT, 1.1m available, 532 formation.

    Rams
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Dias, Livra
    Salah, Foden, Raph
    Kane, Toney
    (Foster, Mbeumo, Hwang, Luiz)

    A - Toney to Wilson (Mbeumo likely to come off bench for Foden)
    B - Roll and do Dias/Mbeumo out next week for Lamptey and Jota (0.1m short if I also do Toney to Wilson)

  22. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench ASM or Livramento chaps?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play the attacker

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Pukki will score surely

        1. Milk, 1 Šuker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Both involved in matches where new manager bounce could take effect

    2. Sal8
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Asm

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      ASM

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you dont play ASM in this why even have him

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Look at the recent form dude

  23. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What's the state of Leeds defence atm? Considering taking in Son for a hit instead of playing Lowton.

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm considering the same i.e. benching Lowton as CPL def good and play Livra instead

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Can see Burnley getting a cs and getting Son would be fomo if anything.

    Correct bench?

    1. Wheyyyy

      Looks good

  25. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    One week punt:

    A) Mahrez
    B) Bernardo Silva
    C) Gundogan

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mahrez could be good if Jesus plays 9 position. A lot of could and ifs though,

    Thoughts on WC

    Guaita
    TAA,Cancelo,Reguilon
    Salah,Son,Gallagher,Mbuemo
    CR7,Wilson,Armstrong

    Foster,Livramento,Manquillo,Normann

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good but missing some che defence

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbuemo on wc questionable, and maybe start with Kane and move to CR7 later. Or are you thinking captaining him this week?

  29. Boz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any Chelsea line up rumours? Need Mount to start or he's out for Jota

  30. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Steele to start?
