    On a risky BB, should I lose Jota and upgrade AWB/Enciso or just stick? Thanks

    Johnstone Iversen
    TAA Estupinan Lindelof AWB Coufal
    Salah KDB Rashford Grealish Mitoma
    Haaland Jota Enciso

  2. shapply

    Steele + Grealish OR Ederson + Mitoma?

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Second one

    2. RomeluAndJuliet
      • 8 Years

  3. King H
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guys I think I have nailed my FH team. Any thoughts?

    De Gea
    Trent Shaw Estupinian
    Salah Kdb Mitoma Rashford March
    Haaland Isak

    Iverson Bueno Greenwood 3.8

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

      I would replace isak

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        With who?

    2. Stimps
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same as mine lol. Except I have Robertson instead of Estupinan. I fancy Isak to start and score

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You have trent and robbo?

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

      I'd get robbo & play 4-5-1 because I like going for doublers

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        How about this then.. 451

        Ederson
        Trent Robbo Estupinian Dalot
        Rashford Kdb Salah March Mitoma
        Haaland

        Iverson Bueno Taylor Greenwood

  4. cutch
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For a -4 hit, what's better?

    A) Dalot + Jota
    B) TAA + Martial

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. Martial brings nothing to the table imo.

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

      TAA & Antonio

  5. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one:

    A) Keep Raya
    B) Bring in Ederson for -4

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Rays

    2. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Raya

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

      B might pay off in the long term with more doubles, does block a third City.

  6. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…

    Last decision on FH

    A) Robertson in 4-5-1

    B) Isak in 3-5-2

    1. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like Isak benched

      1. lilmessipran

        Source on this?

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

          That tweet says they predict him to start...

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

            Yup looks like Hazz questioning the original poster

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

              Ah yes. I thought he was replying to the "source on this?" Comment

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

        Based on what?

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      A for me, 2 games vs 1 gives you a better floor. Both home games for Liverpool as well where they are better.

    5. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers folks, A it is

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

    Should I bench Bernardo or Zaha?

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

      Are you for real?

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

        Zaha

      2. patbateman
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah playing draft version

  8. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC:

    A) Jota, De Gea, Stones
    B) Martial, Ederson, Robbo (double Liv defence)

    Thanks a lot!

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      B but I don’t like Martial. He’ll be injured come gw36

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Any others suggestions? I know Isak is a good one but is he not a risk for rotation with Wilson playing well?

      2. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Only need him till then

        1. Steve Stiffler
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          What?

  9. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How many doublers and how many hits do people have?
    10 doublers, -4

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      9 with -4

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same

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

      10 -12

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      9 + Raya + Isak + no hits

  10. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Final decision this week-

    A Play Watkins
    B Watkins to Jota -4
    C Watkins to Isak -4

  11. Kiyoshi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play

    A: Trippier
    B: Martial

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      I'd gamble on Martial for double

  12. robt
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start:
    A. Watkins
    B. Botman

    Both could be differentials

  13. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone tempted with Salah(c) - 2 decent home games and no distractions.

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very

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

      Yes, I am thinking of it also

    3. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very, spurs will get battered at anfield

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

    TC Haaland now or in GW 37?

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Now

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

      Now

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

      Now.. do.it now

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have the same dilemma and he seems to be in too good a form not to start, may come off early but these are plum fixtures

    5. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      34, in 37 the league might be over

    6. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m debating between this and 37 personally think he’ll score more in 37 he plays teams that attack which suits him think he won’t score high against low block teams like Fulham & West Ham

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

    Bottomed
    Should go without Salah or TAA

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

      Nope

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

        Which one would you pick out of thise

    2. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. So tough. Gut says Trent over Mo

  16. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Captain one..

    1. Salah
    2. Haaland

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

      2

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

      I think it needs to be 2. Loads will TC him as well

  17. mr_jones
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk, Dalot or Pinnock?

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

      Dunk

  18. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Roll the FT or do Trippier to Dias?

    (1FT & 0.0itb)

    Steele
    Trent Estupinan Trips
    Salah Bruno Rashford Mitoma Grealish
    Haaland(TC) Isak

    Kepa Henry Pinnock Greenwood

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Roll

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

      Trip out

  19. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Isak or Jota

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota now to Isak later

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Already have both, Jota’s knock and limited minutes has me swaying towards Isak.

      2. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wondering the same lad can’t get a good answer on either lol

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It’s a tough one. Either could haul.

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota

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

    Play who out of the below:

    1. Isak
    2. Trippier

    Thanks!

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak

  21. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Botman(for double Newcastle and almost sure 6 pointer) or Watkins?

  22. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you bench?

    Kepa

    Shaw Estupinan Tripps Botman TAA
    Salah Rash March Mitoma Grealish
    Haaland Jota Watkins

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That one is easy,
      Watkins, bots and trips

    2. JCFFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If that was my squad, I would bench Shaw Botman and Watkins.

      Tough one though. You could start Shaw ahead of Tripps.
      Jota's knock has me in a pickle too.

      Good luck.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, good luck to you to.

  23. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Welbeck??

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

      Nice guy, always puts in 100%

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

        Might not play both if Feruguson or Encisco come in

    2. Chaldaea
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't Ferguson potentially back soon so minutes would be shared?

    3. JCFFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ...hope you committed bud!

  24. JCFFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hit/s to remove Jota, with his know?

    Ederson
    TAA Trippier Estu
    Salah Grealish Mitoma March
    Jota Haaland Isak

    (Raya Botman Buendia White)

    0FT 1.2ITB

    I could -8 and bring Rashford in for Buendia and start ahead of Jota. Or something else wild for -4? If there was no "!" I would be happy enough with my differential/risk of Jota and no Rashy.

  25. LFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to start

    A) Martinelli
    B) solanke
    C) any other 5.8mil striker

  26. Chaldaea
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hi,

    1. Kane (Liverpool Away) 90 mins.
    2. Alvarez (Fulham Away, West Ham Home) - 70mins?

  27. bw1892
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good team?
    And who to play of Solanke and Isak?

    Raya
    Taa, Zouma, Dunk
    Salah, Mitoma, March, Kdb, Rashford
    Haaland (C), Isak

    Kepa, Solanke, Alex Moreno, Toti

  28. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think I'm sticking with Raya/Kepa over Ederson (-4). I don't think there will be much between the two options

    Raya/Kepa combo
    34 Raya v NOT (H)
    35 Kepa v bou (A)
    36 Kepa v NOT (H)
    37 Kepa v mci (A) & mun (A)
    38 Raya v MCI (H) or Kepa v NEW (H)

    Ederson (-4)
    34 ful (A) & WHU (H)
    35 LEE (H)
    36 eve (A)
    37 CHE (H) bha (A)
    38 bre (A)

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

      Very close, perhaps think if you plan on getting additional city for their 37 double and if Ederson causes a problem.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yup agreed only consider Ederson as your 2nd pick to leave the 3rd slot open

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Fair.

      gw35 might be the difference but it could swing back in 36.

      Is Raya an option in gw37?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Away to Spurs, prefer to hedge my bets on Kepa doubler

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Was on the fence on this one, but getting ederson in now. City have better fixtures including a double. The thought of playing kepa 3 of the next 5 gws is scary plus their dgw is a hard one. Thanks for this mate!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah not ideal but Ederson isn't a high ceiling GK so hopefully not too much of a difference if City keep a CS

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but most teams would have a city defender. Just feel ederson is a safe bet till the end of the season.

  29. zuio
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) henry, kane and maddison for TAA, greenwood and salah (-4) tripper starting
    B) henry, kane and maddison for Robo, Darwin and Salah (-4) darwin starting

  30. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guys play

    A Andreas (city,pool)
    B Trippier
    C Do Watkins to Isak/Martial/Alvarez -4 and play

    1. Birdman77
