  1. Ste7ieBoy
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Play Steele or Kepa?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Steele

  2. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I’m pretty stumped here… FH 34 planned as I’ve 9 for gw32 already.

    Kepa
    Trippier, James, Shaw, Moreno
    Saka, Martinelli, Maddison
    Haaland, Kane, Toney

    Steele, Rashford, Outtara, Castagne 1ft .5 itb

    Considering Rashford to Mahrez/Grealish and bench Maddison but would still leave me 9 in 32 so also considering Olise.

    Any suggestions or thoughts on this?

    1. SalahFingers
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Many are doing Mahrez or Grealish.

      Bear in mind Mahrez isn't much good for after this week.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Double Chelsea defence v BHA... yikes. James not predicted to start either. Shaw looking less likely after missing further training. And starting Maddison.... I think I would consider a hit or 2 here

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks both

  3. tim
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Kepa
    Estu Mings Tripps
    Salah Martinelli Saka Mitoma
    Haaland Watkins Toney

    Iversen Maddison Castagne Shaw

    GTG or needs a hit for goalie?

  4. Saintjack01
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you start, already have mitoma starting also
    A) mings
    B) macallistar
    C) chilwell

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      B

  5. SalahFingers
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Kane, Grealish, or Salah captain?

    I'm trying to catch minileague leader. He has Kane. He'll probably buy Grealish, but doesn't have Salah.

    I should probably just go Salah right?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

      1. SalahFingers
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Kane has a nice fixture but Spurs in turmoil. Kane or Salah

      1. SalahFingers
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

  6. Jet5605

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years

  8. RamboRN
    • 14 Years

    Kepa
    Trips white chillwell
    Marti maddi rash mitoma

  9. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Am I the only one not convinced with the Grealish train?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      There will be others but all signs look good for him to do well today.

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Keep waiting 24 points down already.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I am not doing it, going for Salah Olise combo instead over Grealish Bruno ...

  10. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Maybe a dumb question but is it possible to do a transfer, then free hit, and then have your team go back to the one you made after the transfer?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No. Resets fully.

  16. Trequartista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Estu or Chilwell? Have Ederson in goal and double Brighton midfield.

    1. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Chilwell for me

  17. radawson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Which one to start?

    A) Estupinan (che)
    B) Pinnock (wol)

    1. Trequartista10

    Kepa Raya
    Trippier Henry Chilwell Shaw Botman
    Martinelli Saka March Rashford Maddison

    1FT. stucked at 15k am I good or should change something ??

  19. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sorely tempted to play March over Bruno. If I knew the latter was CDM again its a no brainer

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Unlikely CDM when Casemiro is available

  20. Manimals
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I'm thinking of starting Estupinan (along with Trent and Porro) instead of Trippier or Shaw, is that crazy?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Start Trippier

      1. Manimals
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, seems sensible thing to do but villa seem to be scoring every game, trippier hasnt had many returns recently, I've got watkins in my team and Brighton should be fresher than Chelsea who haven't been scoring much at all, so bit conflicted

  21. tim
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Start Shaw or Estu?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Estupinan

  22. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Raya mee double up or start kepa?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Raya

  23. Branch Warren
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Am I crazy to play Botman over shaw and double Newcastle defense? Worried about shaw not starting and coming in off the bench

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not crazy

  24. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Who to start

    A) Solanke
    B) Henry

    Thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Attacker

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Solanke

  25. Rbyrne95
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Okay Zouma, Chillwell or take a -4 for Arsenal or Liverpool Def.

    Have Estupinan too but don’t want to triple Brighton up

  26. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Grealish in for Odegaard? -4
    Save? (FT used)

    Raya
    Trippier Ake Shaw
    Mitoma Bruno March Odegaard
    Kane Haaland Watkins

    Arrizabalaga Botman Estupinan Rashford

    0.9m itb

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Save for me

  27. dshv
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Rahaford to Grealish and start him over maddison?

    1. Rbyrne95
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. Especially if you were buying him too.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Many doing this, so that should be fine? 😛

    3. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes IMO more flexibility later down the line

  28. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Pick a combo to start
    A. Watkins
    B. MacAli

    1. Shaw
    2. Henry

    1. Rbyrne95
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A2

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      B2

  29. G Banger
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Can get pretty much anyone except Salah or Son

    Team is

    Kepa
    Henry Trippier White
    Martinelli Grealish Mitoma
    Kane Watkins Haaland

    Would you make a transfer for -4 or play one the following:

    Botman
    Shaw
    Maddison
    Almiron

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I would take -4 for bit mid-term transfer including navigation of BGW32. For this week alone in isolation I would just play Botman or Almiron (is he fit?)

      1. G Banger
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Should have said I'm FH 32 WC 33 so it's a one week punt!

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          One week punt, go Mahrez?

          1. G Banger
            • 7 Years

            Cool thanks for the comments

  30. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Raya (Kepa)
    Trippier, Schär, Shaw (Henry, Estu)
    Bruno, March, Mitoma, Øde (Rash)
    Kane, Haaland, Watkins
