    Haaland or Saka captain?

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’m on Saka

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Saka

    3. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on same choice. Currently on Saka but often do this then bottle it last minute.

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Isn’t it time for another haaland hattrick?

    4. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Saka right now.

    5. Fero1905
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same Problem, i think i Go with saka

    6. Sho-kun
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Saka

    7. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Haaland for me

  2. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    1 maddison Henry
    2 Barnes pinnock (could allow dalot and Bruno for 29 without losing haaland/kane)

    1. Sho-kun
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      1

    2. marcos11

      1

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      As a Dalot owner I'm thinking of moving him to Shaw if I can afford to for DGW29, he's been very good going forward but defensively is still suspect so I'm worried he'll get benched in one of those. AWB seems to be tipped to start tomorrow over him for example

  3. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

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

      Flip flopping between Mitoma and March. Mac A not in running for me

  5. boombaba
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bench Mitoma or Darwin ?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Darwin Dolittle.

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Playing Mitoma, Darwin first on bench

  6. Fero1905
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I have mahrez. I am not sure to keep hım. Any other Players for this Gameweek to put on for mahrez?

    Kepa
    Shaw trippier Gabriel
    Saka odegaard rashford mahrez
    Toney haaland Kane

    My starting Line up

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mitoma ?

      1. Fero1905
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If i would know that mahrez is starting i would keep him, but i have no idea. Any city fans here they know more Information?

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      We should have team news.. but given the number of wildcards, the game will break 10 mins early.

  7. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    To WC or to Not...that is the question.

    With FTs and without using my WC, I can have 3 DGW27 players (Toney, Raya and March), 10 BGW28 players, 10 DGW29 players.

    However, the negatives of this are (and thus positives of a WC) that 1) of the teams I do have representation from, I do not have the most optimal players from those teams I want (e.g., Odegaard & Botman to Saka & Shar), 2) I want to get rid of Ward; Tarkowski; Mahrez; Andres; and Nunez, and 3) I would only have 10 DGW29 players when I could likely have 13 DGW with Kane and Saka as my SGW.

    Current Team is:
    Arrizabalaga; Ward
    Trippier; Shaw; White; Botman; Tarkowski
    Rashford; Odegaard; Martinelli; Mahrez; Andreas
    Haaland; Kane; Nunez

  8. boombaba
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What time may we hear Man City lineup leaks ?

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hopefully before the game crashes! But TeamNewAndTix often likes to toy with the team news reveal. I’d expect you have a few mins to act before game crashing.

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        just in case, have the app ready in tandem with the browser. I'm waiting for the news as well

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Just before FPL crashes.

  9. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Kepa
    Tarkowski | White | Tripp
    Rashford | Odegaard | Salah | Saka (C)
    Darwin | Haaland - J Felix

    Ward - Andreas - Botman - Bueno

    Only chip I don't have is TC

    Use FT/hit or WC?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      no WC!

      FT used? if yes stick

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not yet, what would you recommend? Tark or Botman out? Darwin to Toney?

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Darwin to Toney imo & GL

  10. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Currently starting Tark (nfo) & Gakpo (MUN)

    Almiron (mci) & VVD (MUN) benched

    GTG?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

    2 years, 9 months ago

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      not an arsenal fan but surely. 4 quality fullbacks & all will get mins at some stage

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Tierney isn’t getting near the side lol

    3. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal are on a title charge and they”ll 100% play their best XI every week unless injuries. Europa is where Tierney and tomi will get minutes.

      • 9 Years

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He was injured a lot at Dortmund, but not sure he's been injured at all this season?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He got injured against Dortmund ironically, missed a few games and then didn't seem fully fit before the WC, missed a few Norway friendlies while the WC was on too

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He isn’t… are there any rumours ?

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        No rumours .

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    suprised by the lack of JWP, better pick than maddison over the next 3?

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I feel JWP gets occasional hauls; Maddison get regular points.

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

      Plays Man U and Spurs and doesn't double in 29. Not surprising I'm not seeing him

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Both bad pics

  24. marcos11
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Madness to stick with James on wc? Feel like I have enough bench cover if he misses this week?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      With a hamstring issue, will they really rush him back? I’d steer clear.

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I saw him training so don’t be surprised if he starts

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        How did u see exactly? You saw it in person sounds like

        1. Shark Team
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      if enough cover on bench for this week GW26 & next couple GW27, GW28 decided prior to GW29 as could be a difference if starting with a DGW in GW29-otherwise sell
