    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play one from each:
    A Shaw
    B Trippier

    1 Saka
    2 Darwin

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      tough A 1

      1. Aksekladden
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why saka over darwin? Thanks yall!

    2. Shteve

      B1

    3. tuvok
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ok this goes against the others

      1. tuvok
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reply fail. Darwin has best XG in the league, Bou have worst XGC conceded in the league. Shaw v Trip is tough, both probs get a CS, but Trips has higher XGI so probs him

        1. Aksekladden
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Im leaning Darwin as well. Plus Saka played a hard game on thursday and arsenal have looked a little fatigued for some time.

  2. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had kept Sanchez for the last few weeks for this DGW, typically has lost his place the week before it, so, do I take him out for Steele -4 or just play Ward. Funds are limited so can’t afford any other keeper?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just play Ward unless you're bench boosting in GW29

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t take a hit for a keeper. Start sanchez and hope for the best

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True in most situations.

        However if he can get 2 extra games in a 3 gw period (if bb in gw29) then it is worth it.

  3. AD105
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play one/bench one - Odegaard & Watkins

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Play Watkins

  4. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Captain:

    A. Mitoma

    B. Toney

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years

      Thank you lads

  5. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any early city team news please ?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unlikely

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry got confused it’s Liverpool early kick off

  6. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play:
    A) Botman
    B) Shaw
    C) Tarkowski

    1) Ings
    2) Martinelli

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years

      B2

  7. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is veltman completely and utterly nailed?

    Why has he missed minutes this season?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Injuries

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not that nailed

    3. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He didn't start against West Ham mate... he was subbed on

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe I need to go with dunk. I just want the defender who is most odds on to play both games in gw29

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Estu if you don't already have him?

          Dunk would be next choice

          1. Sharkytect
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah but estupinan travels a long way for the international break. Also therefore slightly more risky for injuries

            1. Zidane's Floor
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Fair point, I do think that is largely overplayed because it's not like Brighton have an easy replacement for him... I think he'll start if fit

  8. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Literally my whole starting 11 are against relegation candidates (except 2 Arsenal)

    Bring on the 8m GW rank

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it true that March hasn't been seen in training photos?

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      let me check on getty for you my friend

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        So there is nothing on Getty, but saw this tweet idk how reliable he is

        As far as I can see, Solly March missed training on Tuesday [maybe he always gets that day off?

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          tweet cont:

          prob why the question was asked about his fitness. I still think he starts, also still prefer Mac Allister/Mitoma as options

          sauce: ColmVHayes

        2. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Always gets it off 😆

          Behave

          1. Zidane's Floor
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Lmao who knows mate, maybe managing a knock and doing something light indoors

            I've no idea if it's even true though

            1. TheTinman
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Possibly managing an injury but there's no way a player always gets Tuesdays off. Only 35yr+ old legends get that kind of treatment

              1. Zidane's Floor
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                You trying to say big Solliam March isn't a legend????

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hahaha. You tease

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ban

  10. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison or Zinchenko first on bench?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The attacker

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Madd

  11. Heiro
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Differentials seem to be in holding tight and not filling up with Brighton and Brentford.

    I did Ode to Salah as I think he's a decent differential should Macalister do nothing.

    Kepa
    White Trippier Ake
    Rashford Saka Mitoma Salah
    Toney Kane Haaland.

  12. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How would you fund Andreas --> Mitoma?

    A) Martinelli + Andreas --> Mitoma + MacAllister (-4) ---- already own Saka

    B) TAA + Andreas --> Mitoma + Chilwell (-4)

    Only BRI player currently is Estupinán

  13. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Realy can't decide between mitoma & Toney Cap
    Feel Brighton more explosive

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve gone Mitoma. Brighton have scored more goals than anyone since the World Cup and Mitoma is a live sore. Toney is an accumulator

  14. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hows the weather in Leeds fellas? All good??

    1. Halftime Lemon
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just checked weather app and no snow now or forecast today, dunno if there's any already on the ground tho

    2. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looking like heavy Mitoma with a drizzle of Pervis

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Roads are clear and they clearing snow around the ground yesterday. Still snow and ice where I am in Leeds, but the match will be fine.

  15. sthelenslad92
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these would you start?

    A) Watkins
    B) Gabriel
    C) Botman

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A of course

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  16. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    play;
    a. Badi vs Lei (Kepa in goal)
    b. Kilman vs New

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  17. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Im still on Toney as C, though starting to really think I should change to Mitoma...

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both are good options so toss a coin

    2. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

      Fear?
      Cowardice?
      Conformitiy?

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Leeds away and Palace home feel better games. Brighton play attacking football. Midfielder

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Fair point

          I think fixtures are tight between them, almost even

          Toney, talisman, high involvement, pens

          Could go either way

          1. HD7
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            True

    3. Farteta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      50/50 !

  18. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    All matches still on?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mate, we were almost there!

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Still waiting for 5? I was off for a bit

  19. Bene_the_horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Please help choose 1 to play

    1. Watkins
    2. Botman
    3. Zinchenko
    4. Odegaard

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1

  20. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Got a benching headache (on wildcard). Is this the right order?

    Raya
    Trippier - Mee - Estupinan
    Salah - Rashford - March - MacAllister
    Haaland - Kane - Toney

    Kepa - Martinelli - Zinchenko - Botman

    Feels like insanity to bench Haaland or Kane to play Martinelli, but can't see which other member of the front 8 you'd drop?

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is why I have sold haaland. He won't be playing next week either. But Watkins will be...

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rank in order of best defence for DGW29:
    1. AVL (che, lei)
    2. BHA (BRE, bou)
    3. CHE (AVL, LIV)
    4. LEI (cry, AVL)
    5. MUN (new, BRE)
    6. NEW (MUN, whu)
    7. NFO (WOL, lee)
    8. WHU (SOU, NEW)

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Too much to rank. Can’t maintain interest.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That goes against the knight's chivalry code

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure I understand

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        which 3 teams are most likely to keep clean sheets in DGW29?

    3. Ranger3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      5,3,4

  22. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do Ramsdale > Raya for -4?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  23. Ranger3
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I want to captain March ! Anyone is really worried about his fitness ?

  24. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    on a wc:

    currently Tomey, Haaland & Jensen

    toying with Haaland to Mbuemo & Jensen to Zaha as Zaha has 3 games to Haalands 1 over the next 2 gws and would give me 11 players bgw28

    crazy thoughts right ?

  25. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dreadful team and I've bench boosted!
    Raya
    Zinchenko Trippier Estupinan
    Saka Rashford Martinelli Mitoma
    Toney (c) Haaland Kane

    Sanchez JWP Perraud Pinnick

    Cancel bench boost and play pinnock and Jwp over two others?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez wont play. RDZ said Steele starts.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sell Sanchez if on BB

    3. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancel

  26. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Have to bench one of Saka, Kane, Haaland, Salah. First to 3 wins!

    Currently on Saka so that’s one…

    1. Ranger3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saka

    2. Aksekladden
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saka

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Job done

    3. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh well. Seems so obvious who I should’ve benched now!

  27. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    i am currently chasing btw, who is a better option for captain?

    A. Toney
    B. Mitoma

  28. ggfussball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench Kane for Watkins?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  29. wayne_130
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth transferring out Salah, Bruno or Rashford to bring in Zaha for the DGW?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hell naw

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      is this a joke ?)))

    Hello everybody, another week in paradise. Why do we put ourselves through this every week 😀
    Any comments, good or bad (within reason 🙂 ) regarding my team selection and bench being in correct order?

    Raya
    White Tripps Trent
    Mo Rash Saka Mitoma
    Haaland Toney Mbeumo
    Bench consists of:
    Kepa ōdegaard Tarks Kilman
