    Tempted to go Grealish to Mahrez for -4 but hate taking points hits for same team swops this late in season

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

    Not sure about Watkins over Shaw but may leave as it is, thoughts?

    Kepa
    TAA/Trip/Estu/Botman
    Salah/Mitoma/Mac
    Haaland/Watkins/Isak(c)

    Raya/Shaw/Grealish/Rash

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

      GTG

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Watkins over Shaw. I can see Villa beating Spurs.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Id start Watkins only.

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

      I think you can start Grealish over Estu

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

      Cheers guys, would like to play Grealish over def but not sure he starts

  3. Mike82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The issue with Isak/Wilson thing is I don’t think it worked playing them both and not sure Howe will do that again, ASM is back and looked sharp too so I think it’s a case of 1 of them and the other coming off the bench and maybe vice versa for the second game, so having said that does that put anyone off captaining either and just going on a single game week player whose nailed such as Salah or Haaland?

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

      Both will get over 90 mins over the 2 games which is enough for me to roll the dice over a SGWer

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

      Looked good at Brentford tbf

    3. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same problem here. I was going to go for both until Big Sam took over at Leeds, as he will make them more defensively solid than they were before. Don't get me wrong, I think Newcastle will win but it won't be a thrashing. Salah is my (c) for this game week, because of the fixture. If Fulham can score five against the Foxes (this is without Mitrovic), then so can Liverpool.

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

        Have you seen the Leeds predicted line up on here?

        Doesn't inspire me with that much confidence that they'll get a result today.

  4. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get?
    A) Isak
    B) Wilson

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ah the age old question, get both

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak because his minutes are more assured imo.

    3. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      B central & pens

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

    Best Option here ?
    A- Play Solanke

    B- Solanke > Enciso for -4

    C- Chilwell> TAA for -4
    Tripper Schär Shaw TAA

    1. Robe Wan

  6. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    March to Mac A worth -4 points?
    Or start Estupinan & Shaw this week if Rashford is out?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Estupinan and Shaw.

  7. focaccia
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I know it’s not perfect but no FTs… Gtg?

    Raya
    TAA Trippier (v) Estupinan
    Salah MacAllister Odegaard Grealish
    Haaland Solanke Isak (C)

    Kepa Rashford Pinnock Zinchenko

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

    This line up correct?

    Steele
    Trip Botman Shaw TAA
    Salah (vc) Mitoma MacAllister
    Jota Haaland Isak (c)
    Kepa Grealish White Rash

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spot on

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

    Tricky one here (for me at least) - need to play two of the following:

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

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A and B but mahrez if chasing I reckon.

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

      B and C

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

      AC

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

      have love it, got one of each there! an AB, AC & BC! Anyone got a deciding vote for me!?

      1. Mike82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B and C

    5. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      AB

    6. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A and B as I've had enough of Pep roulette.

  10. ManUtdFan977
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Kepa or raya?

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raya makes a bucket load of saves per game

    2. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd start Kepa as I think WHU will score.

      1. Mike82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No post ECL hangover?

        1. Powers106
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think it gives them a boost, especially how they came back from 1 down, I think they will put in the effort to guarantee survival now.

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

        And NFO wouldn't ??

    3. Tonyawesome69

      Raya

    4. AC/DC AFC

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raya

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

      Raya

    6. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Reya.

  11. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I guess I'm putting Rashford bench 2 and have to decide who to play between these 2 guys, what do you think? (bench 3 is Dalot)

    a. Foden
    b. Toney

    Thanks!

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

      Toney - nailed and on pens

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B for me. Think West Ham will rotate a lot with Thursday on their minds

    3. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    4. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Dalot. He was rested for the West Ham game and is likely to start.

  12. marcus2704
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Am chasing an 8 point lead in my ML, I expect he will captain Isak whom I also have. Should I captain Wilson?

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

      Yes

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No to just for being different if you initially though Isak pick was better than Wilson. 8 points can be covered from other areas.

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

      Captain who you think scores the most points.

  13. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which Arsenal mid to get for 36 and 38?Currently do not have any. Will FH next week.

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Odegaard most nailed and in form

    2. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Odegaard.

      Saka looks knackered and Martinelli might share minutes with Trossard.

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Did have Odegaard for quite a while, unfortunately during a period when points dried up. Scared to go there again but seems logical.

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

      Ode

  14. LoneWolf1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah or Haaland captain?

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

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

        It's look like Me u who only would C Salah

        1. Mike82
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Let’s hope it pays off

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

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

      Haaland the best SGW captain

    4. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me.

      1. LoneWolf1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks chaps

      Erling Alexander lol

  16. YEAH PITCH!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play

    A) Ederson
    B) Raya

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you both

    4. One Bee's Saka
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B for sure. Everton inspired at home after big win at Amex Stadium last monday. They scores at least one goal today.
      Ederson is one of the worst goalkeepers that season as well, while Raya is one of the best shootstoppers.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The worst FPL goalkeeper of all time vs one of the best.

      Play Ederson 😉

  17. valderramasbarber

    Anyone know any sources for early Newcastle team news? Cheers

      FFS

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. Any leaks will get posted here pretty quick

        1. LoneWolf1989
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Then removed by the over eager ‘moderators’

  18. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Steele*,
    TAA, Schar*, Trippier* (c)
    Mahrez, Salah, Mitoma*, March*, Rashford
    Haaland, Jota

    Kepa, Shaw, Stones, Greenwood

    2FT, 1.2m ITB

    A) March -> Willock and save
    B) March & Jota -> Mac10 & Wilson

    I'm increasingly considering A although B looks kind of obvious so maybe I'm just over thinking. No Isak or Wilson is risky but if I'm lucky wiilock can match them and it saves me a transfer to jump on 37 and 38 differentials, and keep mahrez and Jota who have a lot of upside. I'm also afraid to lose Jota this week as I think he could bang

    Thoughts?

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

      Tempted to play 5 atb?

      Both A and B look like strong plays.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't know who to bench if I went 5 ATB and have a feeling stones will be benched or get subbed before 60 mins. Rashford probably doesn't play anyway so Shaw should come in. Thanks for the comment!

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years

        Thanks

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

      Good team. I would plan out what you would like to do GW37. If you don’t think you will need 2FT then go with B

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This makes sense. I'll have a think about 37 and 38. Cheers!

    4. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I'd go for Isak over Wilson.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I like the upside of Wilson and my rivals have Isak but could go either way. Thanks!

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

      I did B. Yeh reluctant to lose Jota but Wilson much cheaper and extra game.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, you are probably right. Jota's minutes not guaranteed either. I just have a bad feeling about losing him this week

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who should start?
    A. Grealish
    B. Rashford

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Neither

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

      Well not B but A could

    3. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford I reckon. Unlikely to get a cameo if he doesn't start whereas grealish might

    4. Mike82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In a normal world both but Pep roulette and Rash is major doubt so I’d go on Grealish just cz that’s what I’m hoping for lol

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

      I don’t think Pep will make wholesale changes.
      Everton have to win and so do City.
      Grealish doesn’t get rested often and was last week.

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

    Struggling with my transfers, team is

    Steele
    TAA Botman Shaw Robertson
    Salah Mahrez March Mitoma
    Haaland Isak

    Iverson Rashford Fofana Greenwood
    4.5ITB

    A. March to Mac
    B. March to Bruno
    C. March to ??????
    D. One of the above & Robbo to Trippier -4

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      Bruno does look like he's in his plum position

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

        I’m leaning towards B as it a transfer I would do in GW37.
        Question is whether to go with Mac / Wilock this week then move to Bruno

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

      B if you can afford definitely:D

  21. hazzlehoff

    Ddg
    Trent, estupinan, trippier, botman
    Salah, mitoma, macallister, Willock
    Haaland, Jesus

    Iversen, Tony, rashford, shaw

    HELP! Used 2ft for March+Andreas to Mac+Willock. I have bench boost and triple captian left! Was gunna use triple next week on haaland so bench boost today but rashford news leaves me pondering…

    Do I take a -4 to swap rashford to mahrez and bench boost

    Or do I take -4 to bring in lsak for Toney and triple captain him this week to then bench boost next week?

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

      Or do I leave it and hope rash gets minutes.

      1. LoneWolf1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Take Rashford out and BB

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

        Maybe BB next week instead?

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

      Yeah

      Mahrez and BB and good luck

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

    Looks like I'm locked in with the below. Haven't got time to wait for Newcastle leaks as got a load of family stuff to do this morning. Brought in Jesus as want an Arsenal attacker sooner rather than later.

    For what it's worth, I think Isak starts both matches, but a chance he plays LW and Wilson starts in the centre against Leeds.

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

    Leno, Rashford, Andersen, White

    Good luck everyone.

    1. LoneWolf1989

    A) play Grealish (don't think he'll get many minutes)
    B) Transfer out Rashford to a Newcastle mid, probably Willock for a -4

    If I do B) I'd have loads in the bank to do Willock to Rashford / Bruno / KDB next week

      -4 is a lot at this stage of the season, do you have bench cover for them?

        Not really. My bench is Rashford, Zouma and Tarkowski. So I think that 11th slot is likely to be a 1 pointer at the moment

      I'm worried if Stones starts he won't make it to 60

    Anyone else keeping Rashford on the chance he is back for the double next week? I got good bench players for this week at least to cover.
