    Best transfer option;

    A) Coutinho > Maddison
    B) Mount > Foden

    Cheers.

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B

    2. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B imo

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      a but not so keen

      foden will probably get rested and mount could well v wolves and leeds

    Help appreciated

    A) kane, mount, doherty to nketiah, son, cancelo -4
    B) werner, mount, doherty to jesus, kulu, cancelo -4

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Tough call. Dropping Kane seems like a double edge move. Werner’s minutes also a concern. My vote go to A. Sonaldo!

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…

      Really like A

  4. Henryyy

    Any ideas here lads?

    Ramsdale
    Robbo Taa Cancelo Laporte
    Saka Salah Kulu Couth
    Kane Wood

    Foster Saiss Mendy Gelhardt

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FH37

    2. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      My suggestion is:

      Robbo to Matip/Alonso

      Wood to Richarlison

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Wood looks like he’s desperate to go?

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    why do people want to sell mount?

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Disappointed me the last few gws. Fa cup final coming. Minutes managed?

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not sure but I'm keeping, was very close to scoring last game and 2 good fixtures

  6. Tinydancer
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Any defenders likely to play 36 and 38 for 4,1? (likely to be a sub)

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Holding maybe?

      1. Tinydancer
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Have 3 Arsenal, ty tho

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Williams?

      1. Tinydancer
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Good shout, didnt notice he was back starting

  7. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Anyone know when a decision will be made on Richarlison ban?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I thought FA were waiting for police so surely not this weekend at least. Probably after the end of the season, but don't quote me.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yeah with police being involved FA have paused their investigation. And with police being involved, it'll probably be late 2023 before he actually gets charged with anything

        1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Haha cheers both

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Get Ted Hastings on it!

  8. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How's this FH lads?

    Kasper
    Robbo, Dias, Laporte, James
    Salah, KDB, Mount, Saka, Maddison/Kulu
    Richarlison

    1. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      good but id go alonso over maddison he can pop if any game.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Looks good. Kulu over Maddi

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Madi out - Kulu or another defender

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Robbo likely only 1 game, probably true for James too (and maybe Mount)

      Matip and Nketiah pretty huge bargains

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        james much more likely to start two over rob, he's had 5 days off.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          My concern would be the one before the Cup Final

          1. Cheeto__Bandito
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            yea that wold be the one he is rested in, but im sure rob misses villa before final, james still could start leeds as its 4 days after wolves.

  9. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Mark's theory on Jota is pure confirmation bias, about a 10% chance he starts both in the double, if that.

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    With Richarlison probably rising tonight, I get priced out of my planned Broja, Gelhart & Barnes to Richarlison, Dennis and Gordon (-8). Thoughts on?

    A. Take Plunge tonight
    or, assuming he rises tonight,
    B. Keep Broja (hit reduces to -4)
    C. Lose Coutinho, keep Barnes
    D. Take another hit elsewhere for -12

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If you want something, go and get it - A

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      just do it

  11. Philip Jones's Diary
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Seems an easy choice but the potential Richarlison ban has me worried. Any suggestions welcome as well.

    A. Jesus + Odegard
    B. Saka + Richarlison

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B. Just hold out until Saturday if you can

      1. Philip Jones's Diary
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks for the help all. Waiting until Sat means I would almost certainly get priced out of both moves. I agree that B is better just need word on Richarlison.

    3. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

  12. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I'm on a free hit. Which of these two do you prefer?

    a) VVD + AA
    b) Cancelo + Laporte

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B - city easier fixtures this week?

  13. The Parrot
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    1) Robbo + Maddison + 4
    2) TAA + Alonso/Gordon

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      1

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      1

  14. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    BB Active would you lose White for a -4 or GTG (5.1 budget for a replacement) FH in 37 if that makes a difference

    Scmeichel Foster
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Matip *White
    Salah Saka Kulu Ramsey Raph
    Kane Nketiah Toney

    0FT 0.6ITB

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not unless you have solid information he's injured.

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Nothing is clear atm is it so I'll probably stick for now

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      is White still injured though ?

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is it stupid to play Sterling and carry transfer with this team? Over 100 ahead in ML- rank dropped from 11K in week 29 - 2 m in bank

    A Play Sterling
    B Transfer to Son
    C Transfer to KDB
    D Any other moves?

    Ramsdale
    James Laporte Robertson Cancelo
    Salah (c) Sterling Havertz Saka
    Watkins Nketiah

    Sá Gordon Cash Broja

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      * dropped to 39K

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Probably B with 2 x City already

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Easy decision if you can predict Pep - probably get Kev

  16. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Mateta to Nketiah worth a -4?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Sure, it means no worries

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Acuna Mateta

      2. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        A. Gordon + Mateta + 4 points

        B. KdH + Nketiah

        Which one is better?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Tricky. A.

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            ACtually B if FH next week, just noticed below

        2. Abaddon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I think A

    2. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Mateta double in 37. Been very close to scoring last games. So frustrating

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Have FH for next week

        1. Abaddon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Could work out. Mateta max 60 mins probs. But not the most sexy move i have seen lol

  17. Claudio555
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    what are the chances Martinelli starts both games dgw36?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Same chance as him not.

    2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Like the chances of starting both but not finishing either. 60 mins + 60 mins is my guess.

  18. The Parrot
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Worth it for James or Robbo to Dias?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yeeeeeeeeeees, maybe

    2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      For free? Yes. For a hit, no.

    3. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not for me, think City will concede vs Newcastle and he might not even play both. Depends on how much you have to lose by not having either of the formers

  19. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Stick to FH 36?
    58pts ahead in ML, he has FH too.

    Foster*

    Robbo*/Alonso/Cash*/White*

    Salah/Son/Cout*/Kulu/Saka

    Kane

    Crap bench.

    *players I could move on.

    Foden/City defence/Pickford/Gordon players of like in.

    Team is good for 37

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Don't think a rival will pick up near 58 points over your team even if they fh and you don't. Move White on though at least

      1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I think this depends on when they use the Free Hit and the randomness of GW38 'who plays' or not... I always find that last GW either brilliant or terrible because some managers tear up their usual teams to let kids play or retirees.

        If he uses that FH in the last GW on players he knows will start, and you get unlucky with dropped ones, he could make up 50 that GW alone.

        1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Yeah good point. Think OP could hold on the team he's got for now though with only a couple of tweeks then he has the option to play it if needed later

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      FH

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks for the replies, I'd be more or less using FH to consolidate my position and maybe get a couple Everton players in nxt wk for a hit, team is pretty good for 37 and 38 after it reverts frm FH, hence way I brought villa and keep 3 spurs so far.

        So reasonable score this wk and nxt prob don't matter wat he does 38 if he leave it that late.

  20. Sal8
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Coutinho to ??
    7.1m to spend

    Already have son salah saka gordon

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Kulu?

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        You could take a punt on Gundogan. Otherwise Kulu.

    2. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Why get rid of Cout?

    3. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Keep Coutinho. Especially if not Free Hitting in 37

  21. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Bench boosting this week and will FH in 37. Got 2fts, Havertz to Saka is pretty much locked in leaving me £1.4m to spend. What's the best option for the other transfer?

    A Mount to Foden/Mahrez
    B Watkins to Richarlison
    C KDH to Gordon
    D Tavares to Matip
    E Foster to Pickford

    Current team:

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Son Mount Havertz
    Watkins Nketiah
    Foster Pukki KDH Tavares

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A looks enticing. But, I myself will do D as safer route

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A is the most exciting (Mahrez). Carpe diem.

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Cheers both, Mahrez is very tempting, just a bit worried that Mount could actually do pretty well this week...

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        What about Luis Diaz ?

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Also tempting, just not sure how much he plays and whether he's a better pick than Jota this week.

    4. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B if you're looking to maintain a lead... the entire world and their dog seems to be bringing in Richarlison.
      A with Mahrez if you're looking to catch-up

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks. I'm about 80 points ahead in my ML so just focusing on overall rank really, currently 30k.

  22. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Saka(c)?

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      In consideration too. Top 4 race

  23. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    A or B?

    A KDH + 4
    B Gordon (set pieces etc)

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Same problem with me lol

  24. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I am thinking of going into this GW with no Chelsea and going double City def....too risky? I currently have James only.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would

  25. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    KDH to Gordon worth a -4 for a BB?

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Why don’t you like KDH?

  26. Claudio555
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    So with Leicester out of Conference League, what do you think about getting players like Vardy and Dewsbury-Hall?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Vards could be the one

  27. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Bernardo/Rodriguez -> Saka/Nketiah for free nobrainer I guess? BB

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ok

  28. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is Werner to Richarlison worth a -4?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        😮

      Coin toss. I'd err towards Matip but am biased

      Go for the one from whichever team you haven't got coverage of. If you've already got a City and Liv defender (or neither) then go Laporte

    Got the exact cash for Richarlison tonight. Has this whole ban thing gone away? And is there a rumour about a potential injury?

      Other than the cramp last time?

      Ban thing suspended until after the local election results in.
