    Have James, Perisic and Zinchenko.

    Zinchenko -> Gabriel/Saliba best move?

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I think so

    2. CCFC 1987
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Gabriel for better chance of att. returns.

    3. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Saliba + money

  2. Big Sam Time
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    James to malacia for some extra money?

    1. CCFC 1987
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      unless cash desperately needed for something big... i wouldn't

    2. Big Sam Time
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who then?

  3. CCFC 1987
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bench one, pls:

    A) Toney
    B) Perisic
    C) Walker

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

      1. CCFC 1987
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        that's my current pick too
        cheers!

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hi folks. Does this look like a decent wildcard?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Cucerella, Gabriel
    Sterling, Gundogan, Martinello, Harrison
    Haaland, Kane, Jesus

    Iversen, Estupinan, Andreas, Williams .2itb

  5. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    James to perisic to risky?

  6. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Choose one:
    a) James to Gabriel
    b) James to Saliba
    c) James to Perisic
    d) Save FT and play Trippier

    1. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      D. You’ll want James
      back soon

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Trippier is flagged though so it's a risk

    "When Erling doesn't play, we are going to play Julian. That is almost sure," Guardiola told reporters on Wednesday. "We are really impressed with his pace, his sense of goal, the work ethic, for many things.

    "I knew him a little bit on TV and clips but I am surprised how good he is. He's so humble, always positive and every training session he gives everything. I like these type of players.

    "The impact in the minutes he has played - he could have had a hat-trick at the Camp Nou and was involved in two goals in the last game - he has the sense of goals - we are delighted. I know people are talking about Erling and we are pleased but Julian is an exceptional player."

    Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake are still sidelined.

    Guardiola remained tight-lipped on his selections plans during Tuesday’s media call, later adding: “Tomorrow you will see.”

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting quotes by Pep

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Are you going to give him the armband ?

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Whenever he praise someone over press conference, usually bench’em

  8. Cheeky Onion
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bench of Andreas (BHA), Bailey (ars), Neco (mci). Worth a hit to get rid of James?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - James - Dunk
    Salah - Martinelli - Gross
    Haaland - Jesus - Toney

  9. focaccia
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on my team? Have 2FTs and £0.8 itb. Tempted to sell Kulu, also do I get rid of James because of these rumours or hold as he's such a strong asset?

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Walker - James - Zinchenko
    Salah (C) - Martinelli - Kulu
    Haaland - Jesus (v)

    Ward - Dasilva - Andreas - Taylor

    1. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm holding James. Chelsea's fixtures are great, I think you'll want him for those

  10. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have 1 FT, and both James and Zinchenko (along with Trent, Cancelo, Neco).

    Suggestions on what to do given the James and Zinch situations?

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I went James to Perisic, Cucu another option

  11. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    GTG?

    Ederson
    TAA Cancelo Perisic
    Salah Kulu Martinelli Eze Andreas
    (c)Haaland Jesus

    Ward Trippier Neco Archer

    1FT 0.4ITB

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why are people so certain that James will miss the game?

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tier 1 sources confirmed he hasn’t travelled.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lots of sources reporting he's out (some said he missed due to illness, and not serious) Not in training pics. People at hotel reported he wasn't there.

      Seems fairly likely he's out. Not that I'm selling.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This guy is very reliable for us

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Still rumors, but I think this time it may be true. Coming from multiple top-tier sources.

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bench order OK seeing that James may not play?

    Sanchez
    TAA James Saliba
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Rodrigo
    Haaland Jesus Toney

    Ward Andreas Trippier N.Williams

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Correct

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks right to me GTG

  14. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    2 FT… James to Dias?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yay, but depends on what else you need the FT for. Also, if you want James in the following weeks.

  15. cb68
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pope or Martinez to start this GW?

  16. highsguy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Estupinan + Gross
    B) Neco W + Rodrigo

  17. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    With James out, my defense just became threadbare. I didn't see this coming. Very difficult fixtures for Trippier and Neco.

    Sanchez
    Cancelo, Saliba, *James, *Trippier, *Neco

    I have 1FT and 0.4m in the bank.

    1) Play Trippier and hope for the best
    2) James --> Dalot / Estupinan / Koulibaly / Cucurella / Chilwell

  18. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A Salah and Da Silva to Sterling and Diaz
    B Salah and Kulu to KDB and Diaz both would be for a hit.

  19. mash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Sell James for a hit, yay or nay? My bench defenders are Trippier and Williams, so very weak!

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

      Imagine James is on 4 points.
      Does your incoming player get more?

      1. mash
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, and then tying up transfers getting him back in. I'm probably going to play it safe as I'd want the replacement to pay off the hit and be a reasonable option in the short/medium term. Not sure any of the options convince me of either criteria...

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Play williams

  20. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    "I tell you now when we have games every three days that Erling will not play, I will play Julian [Alvarez]"

    Kind of making me want to go for Salah (C).
    Mo did miss a couple of easy ones against Bournemouth.

  21. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A. James>Persic
    B. Trippier>Perisic

    Have Cancelo, TAA, Williams other 3 and have 3 Arsenal

    Williams only sub if neither play. Have a FT to burn.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

  22. The FPL T
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who do I bench this GW?

    Raya - (ward)
    Trent - Cancelo - Robbo - Walker* - Saliba*
    Diaz - Martinelli - Gross* - (Andreas) - (Dasilva)
    Haaland - Kane - Jesus

    * players I would say its between.

  23. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Nunez worth getting over Mitro after this week?

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

      Wait and see

  24. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Andreas or Dasilva for last midfield spot

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

      Andreas

  25. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kulu + Zinc -> TAA + Diaz for -4?

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    In major need of some Zaha news

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha is at the ground apparently at least, but no idea if he starts (also all these unconfirmed Chelsea rumours)

  27. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    James > Cucu for free?

    Or bank transfer?

    1. mr messi
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on your bench

  28. Sanchit
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Current team :

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo James* Robbo Perisic
    Saka Gundo Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas DaSilva Archer

    1FT -- 3.7 ITB

    A. James to any defender for free?
    B. James to any attacker under 10m. ( -4)

  29. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Salah or Haaland?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      On Salah here

  30. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    if Pep ditches inverted full backs, that'd mean Gundo has to go back to playing a deeper lying role in midfield to link the play?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

      But, it doesn't look like Pep is ditching his new strategy any time soon. I really want him to, as it would release Cancelo.
