  1. 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?
    Please suggest.

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

      Watson?

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

        Watkins or Wilson?

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

      I would do Sahw > Trippier for a -4 and leave it at that

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

        This.

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

      Watkins

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

        If you're chasing, I'd captain him. If consolidating your position - Saka.

  2. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Someone talk me out of captaining Saka

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

      Not me doing the same

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

      go with your own pick!

      less regret

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What i needed to hear, cheers

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On Saka C here, kind of like having my captain in final game

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely better than captaining the early KO! I heard a couple on here talking about Trippier (C), Madness….

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

      Less than 5pt against Bournemouth, Notts, Leicester and Fulham at home when Arsenal scored 14 goals in total

    5. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Øde most shots last 5 gameweeks and palace concede one of the most shots in the league

      😀

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

        I’m captaining Odegaard. Have Saka and Kane too

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

    had 11 until Almiron news

    A: play 10
    B: Almiron to Maddison (-4)

    1. Sᴄʜᴜ̈RRʟᴇ ⓝ
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      B easily as he is out for weeks

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

      thanks lads!

  4. Sᴄʜᴜ̈RRʟᴇ ⓝ
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Almiron to:
    A) Maddison
    B) Billing
    C) another?

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

      A

  5. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Almiron out and I bought him a few hours ago. Lovely stuff!

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

      Thats disappointing

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

      unfortunate man

  6. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG? On a FH

    Martinez
    Trippier, Gabriel, Chillwell
    Son, Saka, Mudryk, Martinelli
    Richarlison, Toney, Kane (c)

    Raya, Neves, Mings, Castagne

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

      Like it, it's wild.

      Richarlison and Mudryk are particualrly mavrick but this is the week to go a bit kooky

      1. Ten Hag of Bud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        My thinking exactly. Hopefully close the gap a bit 50 points behind ML leader

  7. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard. Thoughts?

    Raya
    Trippier Chilwell Cash
    Son Saka Odegaard Martinelli
    Kane Felix Isak

    Steele Billing Estupinan Zouma

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

      Felix AND isak a bit too differential imo but GL

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

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

      I like Felix + Isak combo.
      If they deliver will be a nice differential

  8. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2nd keeper suggestion on wc, with BB in mind next week?? Have Kepa

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

      Steele

      1. Sid07
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        will he start??

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

          I've gone neto and kepa

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

          Not sure why he wouldn't? Looked solid

  9. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Son or Trossard for this week only?

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

      I've gone both if that helps

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

        I like Son for FH though, I'm actually gonna captain

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Not on FH, Will move on for DGW next week, might even FH next week now that I think it. Have Saka already so might just go Son for the hell of it

  10. 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 Watkins 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?
    Please suggest.

  11. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison or Trossard?

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

      M

  12. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    James or Chilwell?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Was tempted by James myself but played it safe with chilwell

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

      Chil

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

      I think generally James edges him for FPL potential but Chilly right now is a bit more secure

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

    Is Steele a reasonably safe pick for the next few gw's (back up for Kepa)?. On wc and been spooked by the Ward news.

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

      But you said you were brace ??? Steele would block me from treble Brighton for gw29

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

        I'm going with it now, locked in.

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

    Any reason not to pick FORSTER over KEPA?

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

      Kepa on DGW29

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

      Spurs suck

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

    Haaland —> Kane (-4)?

    A) Yes
    B) No

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

      can you afford Haaland back in 30?

  16. Henning
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1. Estupinan out for Chilwell for free?
    2. Is Estupinan minuts at risk after the IB?
    .

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am considering it for -4 to field 11

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

    Currently on 10 players.

    Mitoma > Maddison worth -4?

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

      Needs reversing next week?

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

        I wouldn’t do that, would settle for just MacAllister from Brighton.

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

      Not really as Mitoma got decent DGW next week..can’t you look for any other options?

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And then back for another -4?!? Nope.

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

        I’ve got MacAllister too, so would stick just with him.

  18. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Almiron to Ouattara chap for -4? Could be good 😀

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

    on WC. who to replace almiron?

    kepa
    trippier gabriel chilwell mings

    kane toney watkins

    steele estu mitoma rash

    1. trafalgarlaw

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

        Out for a few weeks

        1. winchester

    Andreas to Almiron/Billing for -8 or keep 9 player this week

    Kepa
    White Trippier Chilwell Mee
    Martinelli Maddison
    Kane Toney

    Ward Haaland Rashford Mitoma Andreas Shaw

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

    WCers let’s see your teams… this is mine…

    Thoughts on this WC team?

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

    DDG; Rashford Mitoma Estupinan

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

      V similar to yours

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

        I have the same bar Steele for DDG
        Shaw for Castagne
        Botman for Estu
        Hav for Tony

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

      Castagne?!??

  22. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is it crazy to captain Maddison?

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

      No. Captaincy is wide open this week.

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

        True, hello Toney 🙂

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

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

      I think it is. Tough fixture. Leicester have been poor .

  23. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane captainers assemble!

  24. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone talk me out of Son over Saka on my wc please.

    1. Ejaaz11
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have gone for both. I have a feeling he will do something. Next goal is his 100th

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

    Which 3 Arsenal players to go with on WC?

    One of:
    A - White
    B - Gabriel
    C - Zinchenko

    Two of:
    D - Martinelli
    E - Odegaard
    F - Saka

    1. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C EF

  26. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can I please get thoughts on this Wac team?

    Raya Kepa
    Shaw Trippier Chilwell Estupiñán Senesi
    Mitoma March Son Maddison Saka
    Kane Watkins Toney

    Going to transfer Son and Saka to Rashford and Fernández for GW29 and use the BB chip.

    Any thoughts much appreciated.

    1. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry should say WC team

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

      Like it a lot actually

      1. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

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

      Like it and like the plan. Does it leave enough ITB to being Haaland in the week after?

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, Ihenacho or Havertz

    Kane doesn't have a DGW, decent fixtures but spurs are still not so convincing

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

      With endless money, definitely Kane

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

      Kane money no object but cap elsewhere

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

      Kané

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

    A - DDG & Estupinan
    B - Steele & Shaw

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

      A

  29. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So would you say the most differential of the differential captains is Maddison???

  30. as33
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any1 going with Son?

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

      Only FHers

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

      On FH and I'm on Maddison over Son.

      Just have this feeling Brentford - Leicester will be a high scoring match while Southampton would settle for a 0-0 any day.
