  4. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    1. The Frenchie

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Gabriel 100%, Trippier only for gw1? Then booking a transfer I think

    Who to go for :
    A: James + Iverson
    B: Gabriel + Mendy

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Anyone else going Son or KDB over Kane or Haaland?

    1. BigCoupes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yes

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        What formation are you playing?

        1. BigCoupes
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          5-4-1 Jesus up top

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I’m on KDB over Haaland. Think he should get more minutes and is a very good GW2 captain option

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Me. Son.

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Nice lads. Son and 7.5m striker here

  8. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Best 5.0 defender? Gabriel, Trippier, Walker, someone else?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Walker , trip & gab in that order

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Trippier

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Zinchenko imo

    4. EL TANO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Digne in my squad

  9. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Final thoughts on Perisic?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I believe he'll play

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Not worth the risk imo

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      FOMO

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Too risky

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Will probably come on

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years

      • 13 Years

    6. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Is Mount just fir this game week with a view to switch to MC mid next week? If so I prefer Kulu or even Maddison for gw1

  13. wijohnson85
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    1) Ramsdale and Neto OR
    2) Leic keeper and Kulu (man c mid gw2)

    Hi guys, looking at putting C. Romero in most of my fanteams - is he nailed. Like super duper (don't even need to check my phone at 2pm) nailed?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      He'll play as long as he's fit but Davies/Lenglet/whoever nails that spot is likely to get more attacking returns IMO

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thanks, would you say he is most nailed Spurs def, ahead of Dier? Only interested in starts, not points, as daft as that sounds.

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          He and Dier definitely most nailed

  15. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    HELP! Last decision
    A) Ward James Mount
    B) Ramsdale Walker Mount
    C) Ramsdale James Neto +1.5itb

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo

  16. BigCoupes

    If one were planning Son > KDB for game week 2, what’s the possibility KDB goes up by 0.1 and makes the move impossible?

    1. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Very low, unless he has a big haul this week.

      1. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        But City is the final match of the GW, and KDB is extremely unlikely to change in price before then.

  17. Wakanda

    GTG? Still hesitating between Trippier and Gabriel

    Ward
    TAA / Robertson / James / Dias / Trippier
    Salah (c) / Mount / Martinelli
    Haaland / Jesus

    Sanchez / Andreas / Colback / Greenwood

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Trippier

  25. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Is Ward liable to drop in value if he doesn’t play GW1?

    1. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      well who do you think will play if he doesn´t the busdriver?

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      doubt it. Anyone planning to start him has iverson as backup

  26. PM
    • 14 Years
