    Would you start Saliba(cry) over Cash(EVE)?

      Why would you start Saliba if it makes you cry?

      No

        Same for me Chris, I'll take the money.

        1. sirmorbach

          Har har.

    Fernandes > Diaz or Madison for free?

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

      Already have Rashford…

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

      Of the three you listed I'd prefer Bruno, but only just. So roll the transfer.

    3. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather have Maddison than Bruno

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at Bruno to Madds gwk3, don't think it is worth it this week

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

        Probably is Bruno has a decent fixture in GW3 so will be difficult to depart meaning you burn a FT

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

          Not a bad thing, especially since injuries, suspensions and the transfer market can bring other issues

    I've seen a few posts this week with people wildcarding - nothing wrong with that as it's all team dependent.

    However, I see no bench players. After the first game week and the injuries reported this week, would it not be advisable to have one or two 1/2 decent bench players? In fact I'd say it was a necessity.

    Any thoughts?

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

      I don't see it as a neccessity. Just transfer the injured player out the team.

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

        But that would mean a -8 or -12 🙁

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I agree with you. If you WC so early it has to be.

    3. Olof Mellberg
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. Having at least 1 x slightly stronger / rotating bench option (nothing more than 5m def, 6.5m mid or 5.5 forward) but I'm switching the team for that. People are forgetting the number of yellow cards flying around left right and centre. Won't be long until there's suspensions.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      First bench player is important, second and third, not so much. It's rare you ever need 2 bench players in a week.

  4. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    James injury news is sad. Can't even get Malo Gusto instead when Axel Disasi can also play there & Moises Caciedo.

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Colwill & reinvest the 1m is probably the safest bet.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Gusto starts this GW, everyone is going to jump on him. He will probably double rise so easy way to make some profit.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If they spend all that money on Caicedo and play him at fullback, I’ll wee meself laughing.

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

        Why would they do that? they have cover

  5. Rico123
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With a bench of Onana (starting Turner), Eze, Rico Henry and Baldock is an early bench boost worth a gamble to get it used? Starting 11 all solid other than Gabriel question mark

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

      I would definitely consider it. Looking to use mine at the earliest opportunity this year and avoid the head wreck that is DGW BB.

    2. L S P
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No.

  6. aleksios
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Choose 2 to start from:

    1- Udogie
    2- Shaw
    3- Gabriel
    4 - Baldock.
    Keeper is Onana.

    Thanks.

    1. Rico123
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably just 2 and 3 and not trying to be too clever - I learnt the hard way with Shaw last season that trying to rotate him for seemingly harder games didn’t pay off!

  7. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I am a bit wary of bringing in Maddison. He will be running the show in the team but defenders are not going to score from his chances every week.

    Their attack is looking rather depleted...

    1. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Romero didn’t get it, Richarlison would have. Him, Son and Kulusevski is the one of the best attacks in the league if Ange gets them firing.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No Kane, no gain...

        1. x.jim.x
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They literally gained a point and 2 goals.

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Whatever floats your boat. They are going to struggle not having someone capable of getting close to Kane's returns.

            Maddison won't be able to carry it all on his own. That is just a fact.

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

            Dropped 2 points more like

            1. x.jim.x
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              No one plays Brentford away and expects an easy 3 points

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

      I remember when last season you said Nunez and Liverpool were going to tear up the league at the start of the season. Think I'll take my chances on Spurs attackers doing well

      1. x.jim.x
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Josh DaSilva too iirc?

  8. Tonyawesome69

    Arsenal beat Luton Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly today, with two goals from Trossard and one from Saka. Zinchenko, Nelson and Raya all played.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

      Hope Trossard can get some starts.

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

        I can see him starting ahead of Nketiah this weekend

  9. LangerznMash

    Who else is holding firm and saving their FT this week?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah easy save for me 2fts gwk is always nice

    2. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not me. Used it on Monday on a City player who played 90 minutes on Wednesday.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty difficult to have had a stinker so would imagine most are rolling

    4. Moxon
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Already made my brilliant move yesterday to bring in James. Injured players get double points right?

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

        Nothing worse than a backfiring early transfer.
        I'm going to make as few transfers as possible this season.

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No fires to put out, pending further team news:

      Turner
      Chilwell Estupiñán Saliba
      (C)Salah Rash Saka Rich Mitoma
      (V)Haaland Wissa

      Pickford Osula Baldock Kaboré

      This might be the first season where I save my first FT

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

        You have a very similar team to me, 10/15

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

          Tis the season 🙂

    6. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I have Gabriel so I'm wavering

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

        Don't waver on Gabriel, stand strong.

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'll try

    7. Arn De Gothia

      o/

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

      I'm most likely doing the same

  10. Make United Great Again
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Turner
    Gabriel Chilwell Estu
    Rash Bruno Saka Mitoma Odegaard
    Haaland Jackson

    Onana, Colwill, Muniz, Kabore.

    Easy roll of transfer?

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yep

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will you start Colwill over the Angel?

  11. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you start Pickford (vs Villa away) or Areola (vs Chelsea home)? Thanks everyone.

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

      Pickfork

  12. LangerznMash
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why are so many people transferring out Gabriel when he is pretty much nailed now Timber is injured?

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

      They see the 1 pointer and thats it

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

      I guess it's still not certain he'll start, and many people don't know why he was left out and also buy into the possible Saudi exit. I wouldn't sell him, myself.

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

        Ah the Saudi exit rumours, this could be the reason. I'm not a Gabriel owner but considering bringing him in once he drops to £4.9m

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

      It wasn't Gabriel that replaced Timber when he went off. Gabriel might start this GW1, but Arteta has shown that he's not scared to drop him for tactical reasons.

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

      Now that Arsenal have a decent Squad, I can see Arteta become the new (annoying) Pep - rotation for now reason, other than his poor poor athletes may be a bit tired playing more than 90 minutes in a week.,,,, bless them, on their 6 figure weekly salaries.....

    5. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years

      Kneejerkers

    6. NotNowKato

      Because Chillwell.

  13. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Foden or Stones this week? Was playing Foden but after playing two 90 min games and not doing much thought he could be rested but maybe less likely if Alavarez is still not fit.
    Think City will concede but you never know and Stones could get something. Was going to get rid of Stones burns he’s dropped in price now so might as well stick for the moment

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

      Isn't Stones out with a new hamstring injury? I don't have the link to that though

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

        Pep cast doubt on him being fir for Newcastle but didn't rule him out.

      2. swanseag55
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ah thanks didn’t see that. Saw he was on the bench last night and flagged remove. Will watch this space then

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

      Why would he rest Foden at the start of the season? Ideal to get match sharp

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

        Because its Pep......anything is possible, it's so annoying owning Man City players (apart from the Robot) - sadly I have Stones with no option to ship out this week, he'll be gone next week

  14. GC123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Stones definitely out? What are owners doing?

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

      Sticking, no flag and didn't play midweek - which means (normally) Pep will rest some of his poor poor knackered players.....

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

        You seem to have a bee in your bonnet around player fatigue.

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

          No, the Bee in the Bonnet is around Pep and his ex-understudy.....Man City, we all know the risks of player ownership - just hope Arteta doesn't follow suit......

      2. GC123
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Fintroy. My only caution is my 5th defender plays for Luton (schoolboy error - no game) and I also have Gabriek

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

      Had a few questions similar. City trained this morning before travelling back to Manchester (don’t ask why). I believe this is when Stones picked up the hamstring issue. (Separate injury to that of last week).

      1. Ze_Austin

        Ah, there's the link! Thanks a lot

      2. GC123
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He’s not flagged though. How plausible is this? I’m not sure Pep would have them training the morning after a game surely?

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

          Not flagged as it isn't official info.

          This is the account that was giving Raptor the leaks last season.

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

            True and Pep didn’t tell us last week when he was injured either. Wish I’d only gone with Haaland and Alvarez now

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years

      Anti-vaxxers were seen helping him into the boot of his car.

    Who to bench from these dudes?

    A) Gabriel
    B) Chilwell
    C) shaw
    D) Estupinan

    1. kellamergh
      • 7 Years

      Shaw, for me.

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

      Shaw for me too.

    3. Olof Mellberg
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A) 100% bench

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

    Would you save?

    Turner
    Chilwell Estupinan Gabriel
    Mbeumo Mitoma Rashford Saka Salah (C)
    Haaland Pedro

    Onana Mubama Colwill Baldock

      Yes.

  18. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years

    Rashford > Salah or spread the money around the rest of my team? I have Trossard who looks like he may drop in price tonight

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what the rest of your team is.

      1. oi no professionals
        • 15 Years

        Imagine a bog standard template team but with Trossard instead of Martinelli

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      If it is one FT then yes move to Salah and cap him

  19. jonnybhoy

    Best 4.5m def?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 10 Years

      I have Colwill but I'd buy Henry now.

  20. goldensock

    The amount of people saying they wish they had salah in their team this week. Why didn't you start with him then? Just admit you made a mistake by not doing so

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

      Ok so they made a mistake

      So now they are correcting that mistake

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Nice.

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Repost: Do you think we see Greenwood return this season? If he did, would you make a point of not owning him, or would you still buy him regardless?

    You know if he does return, he gonna be priced like 6.5 or something.

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Plenty of other options

    2. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Vile to even entertain this but he will not be good

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

      No chance, I know you shouldn't make FPL decisions based on emotions but Greenwood is simply unacceptable.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I hope FPL price him at 100m

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This would be really cool. Great idea mate.

  22. Olof Mellberg
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The more I look at the fixtures the more come gameweek 5 I want my 5 defenders to all be 4.5/5m max in a back 3 rotation.

    Botman / Colwill / Estupinan / Henry / Udogie

    Any other 4.5m you'd recommend?

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

      Possibly cash or another 4.5Villa Def assuming the newcastle game was a one off. Their fixtures are decent and defence was good at the back end of last season.

    2. LangerznMash
      • 10 Years

    Julián Álvarez was set to start for #ManCity vs Sevilla but was suffering from ‘muscular discomfort’.
    @ManCity

    When is de zerbi press conference? I need to know if Jan Paul Van Hecke is keeping his place this weekend

    On WC, which 2 of Gusto, Sanchez and Jackson to add to chilwell?

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

      Do you really want 3 Chelsea?

      I'd probably have the keeper and Chilwell and leave a spot for the attackers.

      Gusto is great value if he starts so i guess that's my 3.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 10 Years

        So you said all 4?!

    Am I missing something but there seems to be a huge omniflap around about Gabriel missing 1 start in like 70 odd matches and loads transferring him out already. Why? I get the upgrade to chilwell argument for non owners if that's what it is.

    1. Mambino

      some rumours about it being to do with him wanting to go to Saudi

        Oh ok, hadn't heard those rumours, thought he could do better than that.
