    Tight for funds, want VVD in and looks like he’s going up in price tonight.

    A) Munoz out?
    B) Timber out?

    Gabriel, Nunes & Dorgu other defenders.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 6 hours ago

      Munoz probably. Got lucky to keep a cs today and fixtures turn

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 days, 6 hours ago

      A

    3. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Need to sort that defence out. Zero starters in 31 at present. Either move is fine

  2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 6 hours ago

    Best defender 4.6 or below from now till 31:

    A) Andersen
    B) Konsa

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      A

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      A

    3. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Of those two its probably A but I'm not sure he offers any more than your Hill's etc for cheaper

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Considering Hill but plays United in 31

        1. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          4 days, 5 hours ago

          I own Andersen and honestly I never expect a clean but hes good for the DC. Even the Burnley game in 31 would not shock me if they dont clean

  3. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    4 days, 6 hours ago

    2FT 1.1m ITB

    Raya
    Gabriel Senesi Andersen
    Bruno Mbeumo Rogers Rice Dango
    Haaland Ekitike

    Dub - Alderete Chalobah Guiu

    Already done Enzo to Dango, Chalobah to VVD seems pretty obvious, should i shift Rice to Semenyo too?

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Already own Hill and Andersen who play in GW31, would you add Virgil as the preferred CB to join them by then?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Yep those three plus Thiaw are what I will have GW31

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Nice one, cheers

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Who would you get for Enzo for Max 8.2?

    Kelleher
    Gabriel, Hill, Chalobah
    Palmer Bruno F, Rogers, Enzo, Wilson Haaland, Etikite
    Dub, Wilson, Senesi, Rodon, Mane

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Wilson Wilson - Harry and Callum?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Sorry, the benched Wilson shouldn’t be there

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 days, 5 hours ago

          Semenyo as it seems you can handle BGW31 with those team?

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 days, 5 hours ago

            *those in the team

  6. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Whats up with timber ?

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      He was on a yellow and ducking a few challenges because of it I heard, didn't see the game

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Sarr Rice > Wilson Semenyo for free, yes or no?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Yup

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Yes

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Enzo to

    A. Semenyo
    B. Rayan
    C. Wilson
    D. Szobo
    E. somone else

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Semenyo if you can handle BGW31 otherwise Wilson

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Depends on 31 plans. Semenyo is by far the best pick in this list but if he creates you problems in 31 and you dont have a few transfers spare he might not be worth it.

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    if wirtz is fine, this is my gk and defence:

    Raya
    Gabriel Senesi Ballard

    bench - Struijk Collins

    1FT, 0.2 itb.

    A - Raya to Donna
    B - Collins to Thiaw/O'reilly
    C - Save FT, play Ballard, hope for 3-4 pointer

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      *oh and i dont mind playing dubvraka in 31, be it raya or donna i own

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Wouldn’t waste a City spot on Donna

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        cheers. im kinda city-less atm chasing differentials 🙂 as silly as it probably is

  10. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Who to get first?

    A. Virgil
    B. O’Reilly

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      vvd

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      A

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Dango and HWilson over Rayan? Other options?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Wilson

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      think its fair to say those are the best 3 options at that price point if you're chasing attacking returns. wilson overperforms but now with chuk out and kevin going off today, if those are serious injuries wilson will rarely ever be subbed. and he's seemingly just having one of those seasons, will be the main man in fulham's push for 8th. the other 2 good for sure as well, i dont think you can really go wrong with any of them tbh

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Thanks mates

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      I am tossing one out of these lots: Wilson Dango Rayan Tavernier Summerville Casemiro Anderson KDH for 5th mid.

      Probably going for Wilson ...

  12. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Enzo/Chaolbah ->

    A. Hill / Mbeumo (Wirtz?)
    B. VVD / Wilson

    Kelleher
    Gabriel Chalobah Guehi
    Rice Semenyo Bruno Enzo Rogers
    Haaland Pedro

    Dubravka DCL Alderete Timber

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      The latest flavour says B

  13. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Anyone having to start dubravaka v ful gw31?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Yep, not worth a FT

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Yeh maybe gets save points

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      Yeah I will be benching Raya and starting Dubravka. Doubt I will have a spare FT to change keeper and it’s only for one game.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Agree

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    Nunes to O'Reilly too sideways?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      No worth it

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 5 hours ago

    A. Nunes to O'Reilly
    B. Enzo to Semenyo

  16. Moon Dog
      4 days, 5 hours ago

      It's so unusual for a player new to the league to play 86 90 90 so soon, Iraola wasn't joking when he said Rayan was ready for the intensity of the Premier League. Woltemade and Wirtz were cramping up after 60 minutes when they arrived.

      1. Moon Dog
          4 days, 5 hours ago

          My only concern watching his highlights is his lack of work rate off the ball, which has been mentioned by a leading scout:

          "He switches off at times. Sometimes, when he has to compete, he doesn't. Even though he's big, he isn't as physical as he could be. Tracking back to help the full-back, pressing... those modern-football demands are areas where he's still behind. Even at Vasco, people used to demand more intensity from him, to raise his tempo and increase his work-rate."
          https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cly33nkemrlo (He scored 115 goals in 2017 btw!)

          I'm concerned that might see him lose some mins now Brooks and Tav are back.

          But he's an immense talent, and definitely a more fun option than Dango. I think I might go for him.

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Once I do Chalobah > Virgil I will have 8.1 to replace DCL

        Should I buy Bowen, Pedro or someone else?

        I know I could go cheap and upgrade my midfield but quite happy sticking with Bruno Semenyo Rogers Anderson Dango (Anderson or Semenyo will likely become Wilson for BGW31).

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Rayan looking good for the next 3 fixtures or safer to go with Semenyo?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 days, 5 hours ago

          Semenyo

        2. aleksios
          • 10 Years
          4 days, 4 hours ago

          Sem

      4. Tinmen
        • 12 Years
        4 days, 5 hours ago

        Folks. Is Truffert Bournemouths most attacking defender? Have the exact money for him.

        Or should I just go Hill ?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 days, 4 hours ago

          Hill

        2. aleksios
          • 10 Years
          4 days, 4 hours ago

          Hill

      5. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        4 days, 4 hours ago

        3 ft. 1.4 itb.
        Mukiele+Enzo to VVD+H.Wilson will give me this.

        --Kelleher
        --Gabriel---Guehi--VVD
        --Rice--Semenyo--Rogers--Bruno--Wilson
        --Haaland--Thiago.

        --Dubr--Timber--Chalobah--JP.

        Pull the triigger?
