    2FT 0.2ITB
    DeGea Raya
    Tripps TAA Estupinan Akanji Cresswell
    Salah Gakpo Rash MacA Andreas
    Haaland Solanke Isak

    A. Rash & Solanke to Mitoma & Wilson
    B. Andreas & Solanke to Ferguson/Enciso & Willock

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

      I'd probably do Gakpo to Mitoma and roll the other FT

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

      B of those.

      Avoiding Mitoma this week is okay.

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

      Thanks both

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

    IF both Isak & Wilson start. Would you buy Wilson and captain?

    Non owner obviously

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, pens, xG and playing more centrally

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

        Yeah. That's my thinking too. Just need confirmation now. Ha

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

    If I take -4 to replace Rashford I can use my BB but who is a good replacement? I'll have 7.6 to spend...I already have Saka and Odegaard so I think Martinelli would be overkill lol. Maybe Eze? Thanks!

    DDG (Raya)
    TAA - Trippier - Schar - Estupinan (Dalot)
    Rashford - Mac Allister - Saka - Odegaard (Foden)
    Isak - Haaland (Toney)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

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

        This

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

      Perhaps save the BB unless you are confident of Foden starting.

      He may well... but not nailed on.

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

        Good point

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

    Start Trippier Shaw Stones and bench Estupinan?

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

      I would

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

      Close. I'd be tempted by Estupinan over Shaw/Stones

    3. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I've benched Eustupinan but have Trip, Botman and TAA in there. I have also benched Shaw. I would probably play Eustupinan over Shaw for attacking prowess.

    4. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prob bench stones

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

        I’m not sure why you’d bench Estu over Shaw?

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

    Watkins to Wilson?

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

      Decent move if he starts. Guaranteed that Watkins hauls this week though.

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

      I did

  6. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Last call....
    Who to C
    Wilson or Isak?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak unless we get news Wilson starts vs Leeds

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

    Would you buy Wilson if we have a leak he is a sub in the first match?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no

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

      No

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

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

      No, but I already did it

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

      Will put people off however that’s where he has been scoring the points! Coming off the bench

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

        True

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      can still come off bench to score
      & its a DGW

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

    Current thoughts on Wilson/Isak:

    Isak only start -> get Isak (c)

    Wilson only start -> get Wilson (c)

    Both Wilson and Isak start -> get Wilson (c)

    No news -> get Isak (c)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This is my plan

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  9. Indio
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning. Is best move...

    1) Raya and Botman > Pope and Shaw (play Shaw)
    2) Henry > Shaw (first bench) and roll FT
    3) Something else?

    Kepa
    TAA, Trips, Botman, Estup
    Salah (V), Grealish, Mitoma, Mac
    Haaland, Isak (C)

    (Raya, Henry, Greenwood, Rashford)
    2 FTs; £3.6M itb

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

      Not a fan of A.
      B or change Grealish

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

      Lovely position to be in. Very little to change. I'd be tempted by Botman to Shaw

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

        Not Shaw (Schar)

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

          Thanks all!

      3 Rashford in for Grealish

    Start Kepa or Raya?

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kepa

    2. Miguel Sanchez

      Raya

    3. Fabreghastly

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

    Bottomed - team G2G? Anything worth a hit? Robbo coming in if Rashford doesn’t play

    Steele
    TAA Botman Shaw
    Salah Mahrez Bruno Rashford Mitoma
    Haaland Isak (c)

    Iverson Robertson Fofana Greenwood

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

    Start Rashford just in case or go with Grealish from the outset?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Start Rashford

      Don’t think Grealish starts FWIW

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

      Just in case

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      can't really bench rashford at home to wolves?

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

        Its because of the injury concerns

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

        Can if he's injured

    4. King Prawn
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you start Rashford, he could come on in the last few minutes and pick up a 1. The news is that he’s v unlikely to start

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

        Hmm I was think he either starts or doesnt play at all

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

      There is a chance he gets a 1pt cameo

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

    A) Be boring: Wilson, MacAllister
    B) Go differential: Solanke, Willock +4. And keep the money in the right place.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Lord Flashheart

      A

  15. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    i have estupinian, should i start steel or kepa?

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

      Steele

  16. Forcella Boys
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Steele
    Tripp Botman Estu Shaw
    Salah Mitoma Martinelli
    Watkins Haaland Isak (c)

    Raya Grealish Rashford Henry

    2FT £2.1m ITB

    Any obvious transfer ? Otherwise I am thinking Lindelof for Henry with thoughts on next week ?

  17. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2 FT but 0.3 short to do March > Mac10. Should I

    A - Watkins > Alvarez
    B - Grealish > Ode
    C - Other suggestion?

    Kepa
    TAA - Shaw - Trippier - Botman - Estu
    Salah - Marti - Mitoma
    Haaland - Iask

    Raya - Watkins - Grealish - March

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish to Mahrez save you enough?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly not. Mahrez 0.2 more expensive

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          A for today as he will probably get decent minutes but then he probably won't play that much over the double so will need a rethink next week.
          Don't think I'd want to ditch grealish just now but if you do opt for that then Ode or Zaha maybe.

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

    Am I G2G here guys? All set with no hits taken.

    Steele
    Taa - Botman - Trippier - Shaw
    Mitoma - Salah - Mac10 - Mahrez
    Haaland - Isak (c)

    Raya - Watkins - Rashford - Zinchenko

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We have more or less same team and I'm stuck on what to do with Rashford ....start him then who to put first sub, Watkins or Shaw? Or just start one of them in his place?

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Basically, do you not think Watkins has a higher ceiling and despite blanking for a few weeks is capable of a couple against spurs?

  19. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone asking captain Isak or Wilson....I'm stuck on Isak or Haaland. Haaland could easily outscore them both in this game and both Wilson and Isak could end up with barely 120mins over two games....
    So question is, anyone going Haaland over Isak/Wilson??

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      True but Haaland could only play 45-60 mins himself

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        And score a hatrick in that time....

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Didn’t last week. Against the worst defence in the league. You go for Haaland but there’s a reason the Newcastle boys top the Captain poll

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

          Wilson has two chances to do the same

    2. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      have to go for the player with two games. pep already complaining about the turn around from this game, i dont see big names playing more than an hour with the biggest game of the season on the horizon (he made zero subs in the madrid game remember)

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thing is I'd Haaland does go off and City are 2/3 up at half-time then he'll be subbed early undoubtedly (I don't see that happening mind but still something you have to consider)

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

      You should go with your gut if think haaland scores.

      Personaly I'm hoping haalands minutes are limited & he blanks as not captaining , but if he did score I wouldn't be surprised!

    5. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all for the input. I've settled on Isak as I agree, Haaland could easily go off at half time. Or not even start.

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

    Play:
    A) Shaw (WOL, H)
    B) Estupiñán (ARS + NEW, A)

    1. King Prawn
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think Shaw just

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

    March out for which 3rd brighton player

    A) Mcallister

    B) ensico (have two free transfers so can move out non playing striker)

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mac

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  22. King Prawn
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you play?
    A. Henry
    B. Mings

  23. Ronnies
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Isak is benched, Would you sell to Wilson (c) as a free transfer?

    Cheers.

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He won’t be. I don’t think

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        no, you have him for two games not one

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

      He's returned off the bench before and would likely start Vs Brighton as Wilson won't start two in quick succession. Probably wouldn't on balance as that FT could be better used next week

    3. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

      Only if you want either of them for this GW only

      Isak will get most minutes overall 36 - 38

  24. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all. 1FT and 1.7m ITB. My worry this week is Rash, Grealish and Dalot not playing.

    Edersen
    TAA - Estupinan - Trippier
    Salah - Rashford - Mitoma - MacAllister
    Haaland - Isak - Wilson

    (Iversen) - Grealish - Dalot - Coufal

    A) Grealish > Mahrez (GW37 Mahrez may be benched)
    B) Dalot > Shaw (secured start over Dalot)
    C) Save (this week could have only 10 players potentially)

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I went Grealish to Mahrez for same reasons. I think he'll get consistent minutes now, he's in favour and playing well.

  25. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How nailed on is Mahrez?

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

      More than those who are playing CL

  26. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Chances of Grealish starting this GW?

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

      100% he might

      0% chance anyone knows for sure in the next 90 minutes

    Kane to Isak for -4?

    Puts money in the bank for next weeks DGW

    Yay or nah?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane is returning but Isak has two games to do it in. If it also helps you get more double GW players next week then it could pay off.

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

    Anyone with Haaland and Isak +/or Wilson but still captaining Haaland?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Scroll up a bit and you'll see a few comments on this. I was on the fence a bit but think most have valid arguments for sticking the armband on a Newcastle forward.

  29. M2.0
    • 5 Years

    Play:
    a) Raya (vs WHU)
    b) Steele (vs ars, new)
