    Who is your captain this week?

    Salah or a Chelsea player?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mo Salah.

        4 years, 1 month ago

        Strange how if you asked this before last night's game...it was Chelsea player

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It was Mount.

          Guess it could be KDB tonight even if he doesn't start against Watford on Saturday.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Even with salah doing well last night...I still think mount is the safe bet....kai if you want to be bold

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You telling me that people watch the games and pick their captains based on their recent performances?

          Madness....

          1. n14mul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            No more how people actually doubt salah wasn't going to kill it last night was my suprise....

            1. Dion D's Solo Shower
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              He hadn't scored in 7 games and I even saw some predicted line ups where he was left out.
              Don't think it was a certainty that he'd score 2 goals

              1. n14mul
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                He was always going to play and look how often norwuch got on on the united left.....it was inevitable

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz. I'm like Tony Montana at the end of Scarface. Got nothing to lose.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

  2. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    who would you sell for mount/havertz?
    saka, raph, kulu or maddison

    1. Rbyrne95
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I sold Saka, extra coin could influence your decision too.

  3. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which player do you preffer for BB36 (WC34 FH37)

    1. Mateta
    2. Richarlison

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 purely because he has 2 games.

  4. n14mul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinking of playing FH in 38?

    There are some real juicy games which you could just load up on. Can easily load up on Chelsea City Liverpool and spurs players

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      pretty much locked tbh, fits well with my WC team. With other GWs, I'll miss on some of the good fixtures.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm the same....wc this week and use ft to navigate my way through to 37 and then target 38 fh

        Just think it gas huge upside...

        Kane ans son vs noriwch

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The problem with it is that rotation will be rife and it could end up a huge waste

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If the title run goes down to the wire, City and Liverpool will not rest on the last day, so that's easy 6 players.

        Son and kane are going to play 100% vs noriwch and then by then Chelsea will have nothing to play for so I'm sure csn get 1 or 2 from that game....that's where I stand with it

  5. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Some kind of subjective benchmark but…

    11 players currently have 150+ points for the season.
    7 of them are from Liverpool. 19 clean sheets certainly help. Cancelo, Son, Bowen, Kane the others

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, that's interesting and other than for Cancelo shows you why such a big squad as Manchester City is trickier to play into than the more concentrated talent at Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham.

  6. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Schmeichel / Foster
    TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Rüdiger / Cash
    Salah, KDB, Mount, Kulusevski / KDH
    Watkins, Pukki / Mateta

    Kane and Son the obvious absences, but I'd have to sacrifice KDB. Good to go?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm assuming that's a bb36?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No BB left unfortunately.

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          If no bb then imo your bench has too much value....streamline it have 1 decent bench option and go strong on 1st 11.

          I'm in same postion...I bb this week

  7. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This might shape my transfers this week + next.
    Villa host NOR in 35, then double in 36 but one of those games is Liverpool (bur away is the other). They also finish away to City in 38.
    Q is: Jump on 35 for BB36 or wait until FH37 then no need to worry for final game?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, just FH into Villa i think. But the fixtures aren't ideal in sequence.

  8. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    WC Team (BB36,FH37) - Your thoughts appreciated...

    Schmeichel
    TAA-Cancelo-Alonso-Laporte
    Salah-Son-Havertz-Mount
    Watkins-Pukki

    Foster-White-Gordon-Dennis

    0.7 itb

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good team, that is the bench I would also have if I was bb36.

      I'm also on Alonso over James on wc too.

      Curious to know if your planning on getting on a 3rd pool player?

      1. Bavarian
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        White > Matip could be an option

    2. Bavarian
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could do White>Cash with the 0.7

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think Diaz is the one to watch atm...he is on fire and has been since he stepped foot in them prem.

        Question is if we can take the gamble on how often he starts

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very Nice

  9. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka
    Coady Chlobah Schär Robbo White
    Willock Bruno Maddison Saka Son
    Kane Toney (Cucho)

    A- Robbo & Saka & Bruno >
    Laporte Mount Salah + 0.1M itb
    Keep Kane

    B- Willock & Bruno & Kane >
    Mount Salah Pukki + 4.4 M itb
    Keep Robbo

  10. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT (0.4 ITB).. the plan is to WC35, BB36/37 + FH after.. any suggestions on who to get rid and for whom?

    Pope Bach
    Taa cancelo Cash White Schar
    Salah saka kulu barnes foden
    dennis kane dobbin

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would just wc this week and get ahead.

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        why waste 2 FTs though? team is decent enough for 34 dont you think? Also gives me more time before my WC for rotation, injuries, city DGW...

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Your team is absolutely fine....just dont see how wc next week will get you more advantage apart from finding out when city double. But we know that's 36 or 37.

          You can gear your wc team and then plan with ft to that period.

          This is just my opinion. I just think the Chelsea double has swung it for wc34

          1. tibollom
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            ok interesting, thanks..

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would get a Chelsea mid, maybe Barnes out and downgrade Pope or Cash to fund it?

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        thanks mate, sounds good...have enough to do saka + cash to mount + emerson royal...not that inspiring lol

  11. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cash or Matip on WC?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cash....I would use thebother pool spot for a Liverpool mid

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hard to fit in with 2 Chelsea, Salah and Son. I could go for Mane over Son...

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I mean further down the line....I plan to have 2 Chelsea mids but then will move off them by 36

          1. Traction Engine Foot
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Oh right, gotcha. Cheers.

  12. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Laporte and Gordon or 4.2 mid and Kulu?
    No other Spurs players atm

    1. Fpl_Ludwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      sorry, meant 4.2 defender

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte and gordon

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte and Gordon/Dewsbury-Hall.

  13. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dewsbury-Hall or Jacob Ramsey for last midfield spot?

    1. dshv
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dh

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDH.

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather own KDH.

    4. yeahnotbad
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDH

  14. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mount or Salah for captain this week?

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount.

  15. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen scoring and assisting against Spurs would be poetic.

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

      It would be beautiful. Just hope he doesn’t get a suspicious one game injury to prove a deal is already done!

  16. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    WC34 BB36 FH37! Choose?

    1. Davies Matip maddison Richarlison
    2. Robbo Cash Kulusevski Mateta

  17. grooveymatt65
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Are fellow Fernandes owners keeping one more week, or selling for a Chelsea mid/Salah I'm guessing?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for sure for Salah

    2. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Regretting my decision to do Salah to Bruno 2 weeks ago but got to stick with it for the double surely

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well keep but expecting 4 points

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

      Keeping and then keeping for Bees game, I love the pain

  18. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lots of people with Mateta, and myself included... but just how nailed is he?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not totally nailed but Vieira seems to prefer him to Benteke and Edouard and he has been playing well, although I didn't see their last game. Not really anyone better at that price.

  19. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cancelo due a rest tonight?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No chance.....Will get his rest next week in champs league semi 1st leg

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why on earth would he be rested then?

        1. dshv
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yellow cards…..

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Is he banned?

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't mind that to get bloody Weghorst off my bench...

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think that Cancelo will start and play around 70 minutes, but most likely more if needed.

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

      He’s not playing in Champs league game!

  20. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On WC, Rüdiger or James or Alonso if you had to pick just one?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on alsono

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm leaning towards Alonso.

    3. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      James I think is worth the extra. But see where he starts tonight

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think James is still the best pick out the 3

    5. yeahnotbad
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger, he's nailed for every game.

  21. sheva7
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi
    I have team:

    Dubravka, RAmsdale
    TAA, Rudiger, Amartey, Doherty, Schar
    Saka, Son, Salah, Ramsey, Maddison
    Weghorst, Kane, Toney

    I have BB and 2 FH, and also have 2 free transfers. What would you do? And when would you activate chips?

    THanks!

  22. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best option;

    A) Robertson + Saka > James + Mount

    B) Robertson + Raphinha > Alonso + Mount

    Cheers.

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like the idea of losing Robbo or Saka.

  23. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one, have Son for spurs cover.

    1) Kulu, Mateta
    2) KDH, Watkins

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 if you've got BB left.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1 - I don't get the appeal of Watkins

  24. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please, lads:

    1. Robbo, Kulusevski, Watkins
    2. Matip, Son, Pukki

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That is tough. Probably lean towards 2

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tough, innit? Robbo is the reason why I'm currently on 1, but I'm having second thoughts. Thank you, sir!

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I like all the players you've listed except Watkins.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers!

  25. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Folks who have Kane before WCing this GW, are you still sticking with Kane or moving to Son (assuming no BB left)?

    The reason of no reliable good FWD options other than Kane seems to stick out for me.

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I really wanted Kane for that very same reason, but I think Son's value is more appealing

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm not sure I would captain Kane for the remaining GWs which then leads to questioning the value of the player. Son is a great pick but there are a plethora of good alternative midfield options

  26. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How is this WC looking? Plan to BB in 36.

    Schmeichel
    TAA Laporte Alonso Cancelo
    Salah Son Havertz Mount
    Mateta Pukki

    Foster Martinelli Cash Dennis

    1. dshv
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good

    2. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very good indeed

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Solid team

    4. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years

    Anybody punting on Cancelo against Watford next g/w, could be glorious 🙂

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

      Lol Cancelo isn't a punt

      I think most folks would either go Salah or Chelsea player for their double

    Roll FT?

    Schmeichel
    James, Rudiger, Cancelo, Trent
    Salah, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz (C), Barnes
    Kane

    Foster, Broja, White, Gelhart

    Likely looking at Saka downgrade to KDH or Ramsey in 35 to then upgrade Broja and Gelhart in 35/36 ahead of a BB.

    These template WC's that are going round, all look good but is the plan for these managers to then to go without Kane until the end of the season?
