    Areola
    Trippier Botman* Cash
    Salah Son Bruno Diaby*
    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    Turner Taylor Kabore Gordon*

    A. Botman to Udogi
    B. Bruno to Maddy and play Taylor
    C. Both transfers for a hit
    D. Gordon & Diaby to Maddy & chukwu for a hit

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably do both

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Gordon and Diaby both good picks. I’d do C and ideally with Porro

  2. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I bet Saka plays from the start and then he gets injured again.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      We don't like gambling.

    2. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How much are you putting on it? Rather daring of you.

  3. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start akanji (kabore if akanji is benched) or get cash for a hit?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cash looks so good right now, might be worth it before he’s 5.5mil haha

    2. Ahsieuwbb
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Akanji. I’d say he starts and good chance clean sheet.

  4. Bumbaclot
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Quick question all.

    A. Diaby and Alvarez

    Or

    B. Bowen and solanke

    Thanks all

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A for me in that

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    4. yeahbuddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Last choice which is incredibly close…

    A. Porro+Neto+Watkins (3-4-3)
    B. Udog+Bowen+Diaby (3-5-2)

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. nothing_else_Mata
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy for me mate, B

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You think Diaby keeps up with Watkins. Think that’s my main concern / question

        1. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Close in the end but is considerably cheaper too :). Diaby is improving all the time and playing oop as supporting striker to Watkins.

  6. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Worth a hit to get a Spurs defender? Or play Kabore?

    Trippier, Saliba, Kabore (Estupinan, Botman)

    a. Udogie (-4)
    b. Porro (-4)
    c. gtg

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would normally say no hit for a defender but. Long term think Porro may be worth it and you’d think a high chance of a clean sheet this week to make it back

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs have a lovely run and you will want a defender long term so yes from me.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’m probably wildcarding next week, so it’s a one week punt really.

        1. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          In that case No.

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What do people think of Diaby Vs Watkins… I think the Villa fixtures are exceptional but can only get one. Key decision on my WC

    1. TBL
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      depends on the impact on the team - would go Diaby just for that reason

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Diaby is the better player but Watkins seems to get in the better positions.

    3. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't want to come out of a WC with a player who may not play. I do like Diaby though.

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have Diaby but and belive the saving in cost will offset the likley gap min points between the two. Money no object then Watkins wins 🙂 Otherwise Diaby.

    5. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Scout article earlier today compared their underlying stats and Watkins was better on all. Seems to be in a purple patch too.

  8. jack88
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wc draft

    Areola
    Cash trippier mitchell
    Salah gordon son jwp maddison
    Haaland watkins

    Turner lamptey kabore mubama

    Thoughts?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Only worry about the depth of the bench but getting Salah, Son, Haaland and Trippier is awesome

  9. TBL
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Romero + Alvarez
    B) Pedro Porro + Wissa

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  10. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ballers Thoughts on this WC draft, defence feels a little ‘shoe horned’. Happy to keep a little ITB

    Areola/Tuner

    Burn, Porro, Cash, Taylor, Kabore
    Maddison, Gordon, Diaby, Son, Salah,
    Archer, Watkins, Haaland

    0.1 ITB

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar to mine so hopefully good. Good luck!

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Have the same def. in 343

  11. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    G2G? At the moment can afford Bowen to Diaby/Mitoma Maddison to Saka if need be GW10. Neto and Bowen over JWP and Alvarez for me. And allows a slightly stronger bench and the Saka possibility without losing Son.

    Areola
    Cash, Udogie, Burn
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Bowen, Neto
    Haaland, Watkins
    Turner, Archer, Gabriel, Taylor

    1. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg

    2. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks and best of luck

    3. Dot Polka Dot
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With Villa fixtures and form I prefer Diaby over Bowen which gives you a bit more to get Saka too.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, just not sure on fitness. Otherwise he’d be in.

  12. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Think I may have cracked my wc at the final hr.

    Areola

    Cash/Andersen/Udogie

    Son/Salah/Madison/Diaby/Bowen

    Alvarez/Haaland.

    (Turner/Taylor/kabore/Archer)

    I nearly have them all bar Trippier.

    Have 0.6 to improve bench

    Mad?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier essential, start again

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Well to to b far my wc team has Tripp and Watkins. Was toying around

      2. toerag
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        😆

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very good Team. Trippier is NOT essential. I would be swapping Anderson to Burn/Schar and good to go 9/10 :).

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bench is dreadful and you'll soon be down to one keeper. Defence is dependent on no injuries . Heavy midfield is impacting your team.

  13. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey or Taylor?

    1. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Taylor

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any final conclusions on Tripp vs 7.5-7.5mids?
    Like Tripp Neto vs Bowen Burn?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      *6.5-7.5mids

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Went w Burn which allows me Diaby and Watkins

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bowen & Burn

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers

  15. nick8070
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On WC

    Areola Turner
    Cash Udogie Burn Colwill Taylor
    Saka Bowen Maddison Son Diaz
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins

    0.2 ITB

    Good to go?

    Will put Taylor and Bowen on the bench. Start Saka? If so, who takes 3rd bench spot?

  16. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play Neto or Cash?

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Neto

    2. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Neto

  17. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Diaby (bench: Lamptey, Taylor, Archer)

    B) Neto (bench: Andersen, Taylor, Archer)

    1. Dot Polka Dot
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Diaby

  18. nick8070
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Also, start Areola or Turner?

    1. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Currently on Turner, but have the same dilemma

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Clean sheet odds favour Turner. Bookies are rarely wrong.

  19. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Still not sure I should sell Saka to Maddo for a hit. Would you do it?

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No, he might play and you’d want him back

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Might is the problem here 😉

        1. AgentRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          No bench at all? I’ve decided just to play him and risk the no show/cameo.

          1. Gazza2000
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Archer but also have Diaby who’s a doubt

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell Saka and get him back in GW10. Simples 🙂

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Though sell though

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          *tough

  20. AgentRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Foden to Son for -4? Would captain Son

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good

    2. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Worth it with City upcoming fixtures

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    4. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yea

  21. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which scores more point over the next 3 game weeks:

    A. Haaland / Archer
    B. Watkins / Darwin

    1. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Must be other ways then to play Archer

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Oohh thats a good one. I reckon B.

    3. Dot Polka Dot
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins + Hojlund

  22. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Saka or Morris this GW

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. Mackans
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saka! Morris stats is terrible

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell either or both.

    3. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saka

  23. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Branthwaite nailed for Everton?

    1. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seems to be

  24. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best Chelsea player to get v.s Burnley ?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      None of them.

    2. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would probably avoid altogether at this stage

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers

  25. putana
    • 7 Years

    is doku expected to start?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No idea. Ask Pep.

  26. Zola
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Final WC decision was coming down to Diaby being confirmed fit but since it's still touch and go, think I'm going to go without for a couple of weeks. Does this look G2G? Might get stick for the Solanke pick but next three look good, and thinking him/Maddison could become Alvarez/Diaby after next three:

    Areola, Turner
    Porro, Cash, Gabriel, Burn, Lamptey
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Bowen, Chukwuemeka
    Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm sorry but not liking it.
      I would find the extra .6 to fit Alvarez in place of Solanke. Perhaps Bowen to JWP? But rather Porro to Udoggie/Gabriel to Taylor. Lamptey will not be playing other than perhaps this week as estupinian will be back post I.B.

      Either way lose Lamptey to Taylor/Kabore

  27. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Areola Turner
    Trippier Burn Udogie Cash Lamptey
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Chukuemeka
    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    WC, 0.0 itb

    I’ve landed on this, anything to change or good to go?

    Thanks

    1. dodgystats
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Can you get Watkins in there somehow?
      Lamptey to Taylor would give you a regular starter for same price.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Getting Watkins needs major changes and a loss of a key player plus a change of formation

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not keen on playing 4 defs each week 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 is better imo. Chuk is definitely a sub

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I know what you mean…

        Would mean downgrading Trippier to say Gabriel and Chuck to 6.2 which there aren’t many options ?!

      2. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Or… I could do Trippier >> Gabriel (ready for his fixture swing) and then upgrade Archer >> Solanke to play 343

        Thoughts?

    b. Beyer ---> Cash
    c. Sterling ---> Richarlison

    WC after this gw

    My current WC:
    Areola (Turner)
    Trippier, TAA, Porro (Cash, Taylor)
    Son (C), Maddison, JWP, Salah (Anderson)
    Alvarez, Hojlund, Watkins

    GTG?

    1. Dot Polka Dot
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar to my current draft. I'm going with 5th mid (Diaz/Saka) rather than TAA. Good luck

      1. Haulander
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, good luck you too!
