      You probably need to post in the thread above.

      Sell Tav to KDH would be my advice. I did that last week.

        1. Shteve
          • 17 Years
          5 months, 1 day ago

          Prob Pickford although Leno might be worth considering?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      In your position you could roll for Gw38 rotation

      Especially if Bournemouth take points off Man City

    4. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A Pickford

  4. Eric Banternaaa
    • 12 Years

    Verbruggen
    Guehi Gabriel Van Hecke
    Bruno Saka Semenyo Trossard
    Haaland Pedro Welbeck

    Sanchez Hill Tavernier Struijk

    1FT 0.9 ITB.

    Want to prioritse this GW over next due to semifinal of cup.
    What transfer would you do? I'm thinking Tarvenier to Ndiaye and bench Welbeck.

    0.1 short of Welbeck to Thiago.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Good transfer

    2. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Tavenier to KDH for form & money value or Ndiaye for pens.

  5. Jstap94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Chasing points big time. What do you think of the below:

    Haaland, Garner, Welbeck, Munoz --> Gyok, Dango, Thiago, KLP

    1. how now brown cow
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      who is KLP?

      1. Holmes
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        Lewis Potter

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years

        Kevin Le Pruyne

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Looks okay

      Won't Palace want to play their players this week then rotate v Arsenal?

      1. Jstap94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        Yeah you're probably right, but I think their motivation is very low and Brentford have it all to play for

  6. Cojones of Destiny

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Saliba or Gyokores? Have gab and Saka.

    1. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      If your chasing go with Gyok, higher ceiling. Saliba if consolidating.

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        this

      2. RamaJama

    5 months, 1 day ago

    Who to start?

    1 Van Hecke
    2 Justin
    (Starting Verbruggen)

    A) Welbeck
    B) MGW

    1. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      1A

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      2B

      If he's fit

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        Not sure if we’ll know, but trained with mask and 75 % to ststt

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      1B

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      1A
      I think MGW wouldn't play this season agian or not necessary to play

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        He trained yesterday:

        “He started today. He started today to work with the team, with the mask. Let’s see. It is strange when you use the mask but, in the end, I spoke with him and he said, “I’m okay with the mask, no problem”. We will see if he is ready or if he’s in condition for the next game.

        “Of course, [he’s desperate to get back on the pitch to prove himself ahead of the World Cup]. I think he wants to prove himself every time. He wants to get every chance to prove himself and to prove that he has the quality and the talent to be [in the England squad].” – Vitor Pereira on Morgan Gibbs-White

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 1 day ago

          Yeah

          He should play then

          Or the final match of the season at least

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Would start Welbeck, but I've read MGW wants to prove himself

  9. MEGPAL
    • 14 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    One free transfer and a 250k rank. Anyone in a similar boat? Where are you looking for transfers?

    1. Yozzer
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I've not even checked it's so bad. I'm going with Trossard captain. It's over anyway

    2. vova
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Yes sir, same boat as you... playing my BB this week

      Raya
      Gabriel Saliba O'Reilly
      Fernandes Rogers Cherki Wilson KDH
      Haaland Thiago
      Verbuggen Welbeck Maguire Hill

      currently leaning towards Rogers > Bruno G

    3. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      How many total points do you have? Thank you!

  10. Cojones of Destiny

      b

    4. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think B.

  11. Tripleh123
    • 6 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Captain one :

    A. Eze
    B. Gyokeres

    1. RamaJama

  12. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Do we think doku will start vs bournemouth?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      yes

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Yes

    3. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think so.

  13. simong1
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Play Hill (MCI) or Diouf (new)? I know Diouf has better CS odds but Hill being likely to get Defcon is swaying me towards him?

    1. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Hill for defcon.

  14. how now brown cow
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    a) Pedro -> Gyokeres, play Tavernier
    b) Tavernier -> Trossard, play Pedro

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      B

    2. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think B.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      B

    4. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      If you have either Hill or Senesi, play 433 with Gyokeres or 343 with Trossard & bench Tavernier.

  15. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Better option here?

    A. Senesi welbeck > saliba Beto
    B. Pedro welbeck > Gyokores Beto

    1. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think A. In my opinion Gyokores is too hot and cold.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A, keep Pedro

  16. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Is this bench boost team good to go?

    Raya, Henderson
    Gabriel (C), Saliba, O`Reilly, Lacroix, Struijk
    Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Dewsbury-Hall, Groß, Cherki
    Haaland, Thiago, Welbeck

    Thank you and good luck!

    1. vova
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Looks good to me! Any FTs left?

      If not defo good to go - no need for hits

      1. Stevie B
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        Sadly no free transfer. Thank you!

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Is struijk fit? Rest looks good

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Is there Struijk news, yet?

  17. DaBoogie
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Is Lewis-Skelly secure as a starter in Arsenals team?

    1. vova
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      probably the least nailed on out of recent starters

  18. DaBoogie
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    When then? Calafiori? Cannot afford Saliba before you ask

  19. vova
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Any interesting midfield punts going? (already have 3 Arsenal + 3 City)

    Got Rogers to get rid of, currently leaning towards Bruno G

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Or KDH

    2. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think Dewsbury-Hall.

    3. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Nice punt with BrunoG

    4. vova
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      cheers fellas, already have KDH so I guess Bruno G it is

  20. Toplad
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Which one:

    A) Grob > KDH
    B) Pedro > Thiago

    Thanks in advance!"

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A

    2. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      I think A. Good luck!

  21. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    A) Is Struijk out and will not play? Fantasy Football Fix says so.

    B) And is Sarr -> Dewsbury-Hall worth a hit?

    Thank you!

    1. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Farke presser should be on now, wait for news.
      B. No for me

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A probably yes

      Meanwhile, Pascal Struijk (hip) is yet to train this week and Ethan Ampadu is now a “major doubt” with an illness.

      B no

  22. Shark Team
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    2 questions:
    1) Start Gross or Kroupi?
    2) Get Doku IN for Cherki with a FT?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      1-Kroupi as he Striker
      2- Why ?? No keep Cherki

    2. Atlan Arjan
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      1-Kroupi
      2-Doku

  23. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Who to get ?
    A- Saliba
    B- Lewis Skelly

    1. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A

  24. Rabb05
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Only 1 ft. Would you do a) munoz to tark or b) rice to saka or c) roll? Chasing a bit so captaining Thiago for context. Rivals both have Saka but not Thiago and will likely captain him.

    1. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      A

    2. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Rice for 90 mins at home to Burnley assists written all over it - keep him
      Sunderland are playing very freely now and will probably attack the Everton line up = both teams scoring - Therefore to Tark
      Garner/Ndayie/KDH will be involved with goals or assists, so for me it's a better option.
      Predict: Everton 3-1 Sunderland or 4-2

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        (No to Tark)

  25. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Budget not an issue, please rank:
    1) Gyokeres
    2) Trossard
    3) Saka

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      In that order, but Trossard will be the player who gets the most space, therefore maybe the most opportunities.

  26. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Which one?

    A: Cherki -> Trossard
    B: Cherki -> Ndiaye
    C: Munoz, Canvot -> Tarkowski, Keane
    D: Munoz, Canvot, Henderson -> Tarkowski, Keane, Pickford

    2 FT, 0,2 million in bank

    Other players:

    FW: Haaland, Thiago, Bowen
    MD: Cherki, Stach, KDH, Bruno, Gross
    DF: Gabriel, O'Reilly, Justin
    GK: Raya

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      There is any update about Cherki ?
      Is he injured or something ?

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 1 day ago

        They could save him for the FA cup final?

    2. CoracAld2831

    "Meanwhile, Pascal Struijk (hip) is yet to train this week and Ethan Ampadu is now a “major doubt” with an illness."

    In the presser article

    Definitely sell

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 1 day ago

      Maybe hold?

      Finally, there was an update on the team’s defensive options, with Edmund explaining: “Pascal is not going to train today with us. He has a hip contusion, so got a hit. He will train individually but we are hopeful that he will be available.”

  30. Viper
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 1 day ago

    Start Munoz, Lacroix or Van Hecke?
