    On WC… are the safest 3 Arsenal players…

    White Odegaard Saka?

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

      Safe in terms of minutes would be Gabriel over White.

      1. boroie
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        With Tomiyasu out, isn’t White’s place guaranteed?

    2. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      +Gabriel

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Schar guys?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No smoke without fire?

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I need to know, take it.no early team news?

  3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lost on last:

    Kepa
    Chilwell - Trippier - Botman - Mings
    Saka - Trossard - Maddison - Odegaard
    Watkins - Kane (c, because I'm a wimp and took the armband off Watkins)

    Steele, Haaland, Estupiñan, Rashford

    If someone can make a case for Fofana over Mings, speak now.

    1. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      +1 for Fofana for me

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No risk, no reward. I'm going in.

  4. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else notice that when Saka was in the goals Arsenal was building their attack on the right side. Now they break on the left 75% of the time. Am I imagining this?

  5. Patron
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So is this Schar news classic international bs or.. ?

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      even it's bs, he shouldn't play tonight match, it's too difficult to justify his reasoning.

      1. Patron
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think it was not his decision not to play for Swiss if thats your point 🙂

  6. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FH

    Pope Forster
    Chillwell James Trippier (Fofana Henry)
    Martinelli Odegard Saka Son (Buendia)
    Toney Kane(c) Watkins

    Only additional move I'm considering is Son > Maddison because Son has been off form. Y/N?

  7. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    watkins (BOU) - (C) anyone?

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am tempted.

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted but leading MLs so going safe with Kane

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I had him with the armband all this week, but chickened out. Worth noting, AVL lost the first match of the season to BOU. Not sure what that means in terms of a repeat performance, but...eh.

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pre Unai tho

  8. LosSurenos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG with 10? 6.8ITB 1FT

    Raya
    Gabriel Trippier Botman Henry
    Saka Odegaard
    Watkins Kane Toney

    Ward Dunk Mitoma March Rashford

    1. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with 10 players
      Ward
      Trippier Botman Gabriel Castagne
      Odegaard Saka Maddison
      Toney Kane

      need to decide on captain, though!

      1. LosSurenos
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Going for Kane I think.

  9. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa (ward).
    Tarko tirper henry saliba* shaw*
    Odegard saka mahrez* (rash mitoma)
    Kane toney (haland)

    2 ft & got all 4 chips, which 2/3 (-4) tranfsers out of those?

    A) saliba to zinchenko
    B) shaw to chilwel/alex moreno
    C) mahrez to martineli/tross(if saliba out)-buendia-madds-son(haland out)
    D) haland to watkins/isak/havertz

  10. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cant decide on captain
    Changed between toney, saka & Kane
    Gut feeling says to stick with toney
    I don't think saints match will be easy for kane & saka not too involved with arsenal goals recently

    1. AJRRF
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane is more safer option though

    2. winchester
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      kane

  11. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just finished work so not caught up on news, any reason not to go Tarkowski to Chilwell for free?

    1. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      do it

    3. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good for this week at least and he has hard fixtures

    4. Kante Touch This
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don't see why not!

      Question for you; I've got 10/11 players. Thinking of doing Ake to Chilwell for -4. Already taken a -4 hit. Worth doing?

      If I don't, I will use FH next week, if I do, I may save FH

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm assuming you're not BBing next gw, I think Chilwell could outscore Ake even if he only plays 2 games, however I do have a feeling Liverpool may fail to score against City. But then again does Ake even play? I'd do it I think.

    5. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      aware of Almiron injury?

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am but don't own, thanks

  12. rdpx
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FH TEAM

    I'm wondering

    A. should put in KEPA instead?
    B. should play Maddison over the in form Billing ...
    C. Tempted by Havertz over Toney

    FORSTER

    CHILWELL TRIPPIER GABRIEL

    SAKA(V). SON. ODEGAAARD. BILLING

    KANE(C). WATKINS. TONEY

    -----
    WARD...MADDISON... BATMAN... CASH

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone? Bueller?

  13. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people getting rid of Henry?

    1. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He quit

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who is ur. C ?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping Toney probably

    2. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Toney

  15. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really can’t decide between Kane and Saka captain….

    Have been on Kane all week, but Spurs not great away from home, and think palace at home an easier fixture?

    1. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka has had a few blanks at home against poorer opposition

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks helpful, thanks

  16. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I was holding on no hits but wavering on MacA to Maddy
    Currently have 9 solid starters

  17. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to take out for a hit - Zinchenko (clutching his hammy and 120 mins) or Henry (have Mee too)?

  18. :
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I've benched Trippier, Chilwell & Watkins, started Rashford, Mitoma & March, capped the last one of those players and vicered Kane.

    I love a little boost after the last ball has been kicked. 😀

    1. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don't captain a non playing player

      Imagine if Kane does a hammy in the warm up

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      dont do the C & VC messing

    3. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You woke up and chose violence

  19. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison with a 4 point hit to get 11 players?

    1. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do it

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. Tough fixture. Leicester are poor.

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

      Worth 4 IMO

    4. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. But only if dropping a non playing player

  20. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play which keeper:
    a) Kepa
    b) Raya

    1. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kepa

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

      A

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers !

  21. Crazy RedDevil
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have 9 playing with -4 as hit.

    Kepa
    Mings Chill Mee Shaw
    Saka Ode Maddison
    Halaand Watson Toney

    Bench. Ramsdale Mitoma March Estu

    A. Stick
    B. Someone out for a hit (who to who?)
    C. Free hit (would rather not. Don’t think it’s worth it really?)
    D. Whom to captain?

    1. AJRRF
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland to Watkins/Chelsea Fwd.

      1. AJRRF
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, guess Watkins in your lineup…would say Kane may be an option and bring back Haaland for GW 30 which seems to be popular option.

  22. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take 2nd hit to do Haaland —> Kane?

    Thinking I might captain Kane over Saka…

  23. YouReds
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you wildcard this?

    Kepa
    Mee Tripper White
    Saka Martinelli
    Toney

    Ward Salah Darwin Haaland Mitoma Estu Shaw Rashford

    I was going to take a -4 and field 9

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      9 with the right players be ok id say

  24. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hey. Will Trossard play full game as striker this GW? Or should I rather go Martinelli?

    1. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Martinelli RN. But he did have 120 mins last night.

      1. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So practically stuck like me I guess. Guessing game

  25. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why so many people avoiding Toney captain? What am I missing?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So many options

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shhhh

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good option. Kane safer option I suppose.

    4. boroie
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane is much more reliable???

    5. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Because they told us to

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best Captain Toney (think he’s smashing Leicester) or Kane ???

    Wanted Kepa for Sanchez but not worth a hit, Free after game updates?

    Raya,
    Mee, Trippier, Zinch, Chilwell
    Saka, Ode, Maddison,
    Kane, Toney, Watkins

    Sanchez, Rashford, Purvis, Mitoma,

    4.7

  27. boroie
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Kepa
    Chilwell Trippier White Castagne
    Saka(VC) Odegaard Maddison
    Kane(C) Toney Watkins

    DDG; Rashford Mitoma Estupinan

  28. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is James fit?

  29. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah to?
    a) Odegaard
    b) Trossard

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trossard seems to have a bigger upside.

  30. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who is playing CB for Leicester this weekend Vardy? They don't seem to have any CBs left now.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Posted the team on previous article, ITK is usually spot on.
