    Best GK 5.0 and under for a few weeks?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Guita / Pickford. If nailed then Begovic may be worth a shout?

      1. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thank you. Some great ideas!

  2. Gon Freecss
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Have exact funds for this on a WC, yes or no?:

    KDB>Salah
    Martinelli>Sinesterra
    Pope>Raya
    Iverson>Ward

    1. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No I wouldn't

      1. Gon Freecss
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        What don't you like ?

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yes, except the last one

  3. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    GTG or play wildcard?
    Ward
    Cancelo--Trippier--James--TAA
    KDB--Martinelli--Maddison
    Haaland--Jesus--Mitrovic
    (Sanchez, Andreas, Almiron, Neco)

  4. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Bottomed

    Which one to play?

    A) Bailey
    B) Andreas
    C) Neco

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

      a

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

      Going B myself, but can't really decide.

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

    Play one:

    A) Perisic
    B) Justin

  6. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Ward
    Cancelo James Tsimikas Trippier
    Maddison Barnes Son
    Haaland Toney Mitrović

    Guaita Zaha Andreas N.Williams

    good to go?

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      on WC, Tsimikas worth a 1 week punt or play Zaha?

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        No. You are already booking in a transfer to get rid once Robbo is back.

  7. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Last dilemma for me is whether to start Gordon or Solanke. What would you do?

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Or shall I play both and bench Zaha, because I have James. Decisions, decisions...

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Probably Gordon mate.

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Can’t bench Zaha, I reckon he scores vs Chelski

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Play Solanke. No point if keeping if you can't play him in these next fixtures.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Zaha is fixture proof, maybe bench Gordon

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Cheers everyone! I've decided to play the guys with penalties, in case it's gonna be "one of those weeks".

  8. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    5 mil to spend on a keeper.

    Currently on fabianski. Good pick?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Prefer Guita personnaly.

      1. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Or Martinez / Pickford

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

    Any of the Leeds mids worth considering?

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

      the new lad from colombia?

    2. 1314
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking Rodrigo..is he a popular pick ?

      1. Mr Chelski
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Is he fit and available?

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

        2. 1314
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          "He’s fit, strong and ready to go. He’s trained really well this week, he’s 100% as close to being fit as I’ve seen him."

  10. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    A whole Sky Sports News section dedicated to FPL. What has my niche little game become?
    Shame really.

  11. Lucas8406
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Best defender 4.5m?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Guhehi

  12. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Saka or Martinelli on a WC??

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Martinelli for me

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Martinelli provided you have an escape/plan for GW12"

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

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Never willingly play Ward

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        ...unless its forest at home.

      2. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I am playing Ward over Sanchez for deffo this week and probably for the next 3-4

    5. Aksekladden
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yes, maybe. Cointoss really. Dont see newcastle keeping a cleanie, and if they do, you got tripps. First CS of the season a posibility for the foxes.

      1 year, 7 months ago

      Leaning towards yes

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

    A) Pope
    B) Guiata
    C) Raya

      1. ebb2sparky

    Not sure how I feel …

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Me too. We are trying to be clever... lets see how it turns out

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Might move back to Haaland haha

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Would stick with it if you have him.

      Good on you for answering so many people this AM! All the best this GW 🙂

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Cheers 🙂

    3. nolard
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      never know with him
      go with your gut, mate

  20. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Starting XI and Bench order correct?

    Ward
    Cancelo -- James -- Trippier
    KDB -- Maddison -- Martinelli -- GroB
    Haaland -- Jesus -- Mitrovic

    Sánchez -- Andreas -- Perisic-- N.Williams

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      G2G boss! GL

  21. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Barnes anyone?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yes me

    2. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I thought about it for a long time and it could pay off handsomely but discretion got the better part of valour and I settled for Maddison by himself.

    3. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yes!
      Got him for Kulu on FT.

  22. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Why am I tempted to go Coufal over James on a WC? With Zaha as well it seems better with fixtures for West Ham

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

    Who is your captain?

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Salah over Maddison and Haaland

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      haaland

  24. nolard
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    play trossard/perisic or get barnes/sinisterra/? in for rashford?

  27. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years

    Haaland the man to captain this week then? United supporter and really hope they do well but I know how dangerous he is. Any other options apart from Salah?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Mitro against his old club.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Maddison could be a shout

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    A) Isak/Peresic > Toney/Guehi (-4)*
    B) Isak > Solanke
    C) Save FT, play Peresic

    *Guehi could be Anderson, Fofana, Justin?

    Team:

    Pope
    Cancelo James Trippier Peresic
    KDB Maddison Zaha Martinelli
    Haaland Mitrovic
    Iversen // Isak* Andreas Neco

    1. Bring back Timmy
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Save imo

  29. Sakib.jafar
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    KDB captain anyone?

    Or go with Haaland

  30. Maeki2
