    Steele
    TAA - Trippier - Estu
    Salah - Mahrez - Odegaard - Martinelli
    Wilson - Isak - Haaland

    Johnstone - Mitoma - Moreno - Toti

    1. Good to go?
    2. MacAlister worth bringing in for a hit? If so for who? Not keen on dropping either Arsenal asset.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Defo not for a hit.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team

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

      Don't like Mac for a hit. Free is okay, as a bit of protection.

      Who would you play Mac over? Surely better to jsut start Mitoma whoever that'd be if you were leaning that way.

    4. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good team, but wouldn't bench mitoma

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      GTG

    6. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good to go

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

    Kepa
    Trippier, TAA, Botman
    Salah, Mac allister, Mitoma, Bruno, Rashford
    Haaland, Isak(c)

    Raya, Shaw, Estupinan, Greenwood

    0ft 0itb.

    Would you change anything about this team/bench order? Or GTG?

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

      I'd put Estu in for Rashford, or first bench

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

        Don't fancy Shaw CS chances?

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

          Not really. I'm playing Raya over DDG

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            10 CS in 13 at home I read earlier…

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might prefer Raya to Kepa, but probably a coin toss.

      GTG

  4. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Help, final decision

    1. Play shaw
    2. Play Wilson/isak -4

    Steele
    Shaw Trent botman Tripps
    Mahrez Salah Mitoma Mac
    Alvarez Haaland

    Raya Robbo rashford greenwood

    3.7m itb so it would be greenwood to Isla/Wilson

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

      2 in your case

    2. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with Waltz. 2 in your case.

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

    In order to do Greenwood to Wilson/Isak, would you do either of these?
    A) Rashford to Gibbs-White
    B) TAA to White/Stones
    Or just go without?

    1. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think A sounds interesting.

  6. Gassemannen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins -> Wilson for -4?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not for a hit. Have you got Isak?

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

        Yes

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'd probably avoid the hit.

    2. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with Hairy. If you have Isak there is no need to take a hit.

    3. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think if you have one of Wilson or Isak you're good. No need to take a hit.

  7. rowdog24
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?

    A) Ferguson
    B) Enciso

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Jambot

  8. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play two please

    Shaw
    Grealish
    Estupinan

    Cheers

    1. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish & Estupinan

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Shaw and Estupinan. Grealish might not even get off the bench, but second guessing Pep isn't easy.

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Currently got the team below.

    Steele
    Trippier, Shaw, TAA
    Salah, MacA, Rashford, Mitoma, Mahrez
    Haaland, Isak(c)

    Leno, Watkins, White, Andersen

    With Rashford out, I'm tempted to go Watkins to Jesus for my FT as want some Arsenal attack for the run in.

    Yay or nay?

    1. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why not? Live a little 🙂

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

      Yay

  10. FITZ-G
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hey All,

    Jota to Wilson for double Newcastle attack? (It would cost -4 in the process as I would need to remove Schar)

    Cheers.

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you think he significantly outscores the -4 hit then yes

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Jota starts vs Leicester he could destroy them.

      Then again he might make a 1 point cameo.

  11. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What should I do this GW

    A. Play Jensen
    B. Do Rashford/Grealish > Mahrez

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you do not want Rashford back it might be exciting to roll the dice with Mahrez 🙂

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

    Is Wilson starting?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No one knows

      Probably not as I have him instead of Isak.

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

        I am wanting Wilson instead of Isak.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Go for it.
          I needed differentials myself

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe. It all depends on who Howe wants to play at left wing. Might be too soon for an ASM start and Gordon hasn't impressed, which means Isak is an option out wide.

      I think Isak starts, but it's just where, and whether that leaves the space for Wilson as central striker.

  13. Dr Ennet
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good Morning all!

    Would you start:

    a) Stones
    b) Estupinan

    Cheers 🙂

        Thanks!

  14. el polako
    • 8 Years

    Need two low owned high potential picks.
    Do Julio Enciso and Joe Willock for the bill?

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

      Yep, good luck!

    2. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good call!

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

      I’d have taken the Enciso punt before the Rash injury knocked me down to 3 midfielders. Think it’s a good punt. I’m not mad on Willock though

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, they fit the bill

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

      Willock does

      Prefer Ferguson myself

    6. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you all!

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

    Currently

    Kepa
    Estupinan Schar Tripps
    Salah MacA Mitoma Mahrez
    Jota Haaland IsakC

    Raya Shaw Rashford Chilwell

    0FT 0.1ITB

    A) Start Jota over Shaw?
    B) Start Kepa over Raya?

    Thanks

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes to both

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm starting Kepa over Raya, but it's a coin toss. I've just sold Jota for Wilson, but if I still had him would probably play in case he starts.

    3. Dr Ennet
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would take a chance with Jota, and I am starting Raya over Kepa but there is not much in it.

    4. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes to both

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

      I'd start Raya

      That predicted Chelsea line up doesn't look strong.

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

      Thanks all. Appreciate it

  16. artvandelay316

    Captain Isak or Trippier? Cant decide

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      From those 2 Isak

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

      Isak fronm them

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

      Isak

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak

    5. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak. Don’t mind the Trippier punt. Newcastle due a clean sheet and attacking returns will come for Tripps

  20. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If we get info that Wilson starts, does Watkins to Wilson and give him the armband sound good? I have Isak already.

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

      For free? Yes

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes will be for free

    2. West End Exile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. Mike82

    Anyone captaining Salah?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Me

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

      Me too

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

    We don't have anything on rashford other than yesterday's ten hag quote, do we?

    He didn't categorically rule him out, although said he is a major doubt.

    On that basis I think it is the obvious move to start him in your 11 - he is unlikely to be benched and come on for a cameo if not fit.

    Unless you don't have sufficient cover on your bench. I think he is worth saving for the double + more updates

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes thats what I am doing, Watkins (or Wilson if we get news he starts) will be my first sub.

      I think ETH said “more than a doubt” so that pretty much confirms him out for me.

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

      He pretty much did in manager talk.

      Other than Rashford's other half posting an Instagram pick of him on the sofa with a boot and crutches, what more do you want?

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

        Even that wouldn't confirm it - we learnt that after the fernandes episode.

        Sometimes managers do actually say "player x is out for saturday" or "unavailable". Mourinho used to use terminology like "doubtful" every week and then diego Costa would stride out onto the pitch and score a brace and not get booked...that's a different story!

  23. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Are people switching or keeping Rasford?

    Graelish & Watkins to Wilson/Odegard for free?

    Kepa
    Shaw, Dias, Trippier, Estu
    MacA, Ode, Salah
    Isaac, Wilson, Haaland

    Raya, Rashford, March, Mee

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping in case he's fit for DGW

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

    Own Mac Mitoma and March,

    Gross for a wild punt - would think you get 4 games from him over next 2 weeks

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gross will get 4 games yeah.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If I knew Caicedo would play RB I'd get him. But Gross may end up there

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

      He could play FB

    4. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Too much Brighton in midfield for me

  25. Zahara Desert
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Got a real tricky one here (for me at least) - need to play two of the following:

    a) Mitoma
    b) Bruno Fernandez
    c) Mahrez (or Foden?)

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ooh yikes, I wouldn't want to bench any of those. There definitely no one else you could bench?

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      All 3 have to start

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

    A) Maddison, Solanke, Rashford to Mahrez, Wilson, Mac10 -8
    B) Maddison, Solanke to Wilson, Mac10 -4 start Henry

    Tough one, Thanks!!

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
