Less than 48-hours after the end of the previous round of fixtures, the festive schedule serves up a Friday evening “treat” as Gameweek 19 gets underway at the KCOM Staidum.

Hull City’s home form could barely be more encouraging for Everton. The only side yet to chalk up a clean sheet in front of their own supporters, the Tigers also boast the joint-worst home scoring record, netting just nine times in as many matches.

Owned by 5% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Robert Snodgrass is clearly the man most likely to do the damage – the Scot has already served up three double-figure hauls at the KCOM.

Wins against Arsenal and Leicester in the last three have reignited Fantasy interest in Ronald Koeman’s men as the Toffees looks to take advantage of some fine winter fixtures.

With three goals in the last four Gameweeks, Romelu Lukaku has proven a more popular transfer target than Sergio Aguero this week, with over 50,000 FPL managers drafting in the big Belgian ahead of tonight’s deadline.

Koeman moves back to a four-man defence this evening after earning just a fourth clean sheet of the season at Leicester City with a three-man backline. Disappointingly, that sees the 4.0 priced Mason Holgate drop the bench and both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines reverting to traditional full-back roles.

    Just realized my ML leader who has about a 70 point gap...has captained Azpilicueta this week. I don't think it's the worst decision he's made so far (there's been a lot), but he also had Costa and Sanchez to chose from.

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Worst case 12pts. Best case 20+ pts... last season my friend lost in the FPL cup to a dead team that captained Terry...got 30pts or so that week.

    2. Oven Glover

      Kante back. They tend to win 1-0. Azpi baps magnet. Not that silly.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        It looks like a pretty safe clean sheet, and he tends to get bonus, but Hazard is a much bigger bonus magnet when he scores and if Costa gets more than just a goal he's almost guaranteed 3. As I said, not necessarily a bad pick, but far from the best.

          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          TBF in a week like this where the captaincy is so split maybe settling for consistency is not the worst strategy.

          Loads of caps could fail today, 12 points could be like Gold.

  2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Does anyone know if the guy who came up with the phrase "one hit wonder" coined any other sayings?

    Can i just say, i love this feeling of anxiety/excitement when you captain a player you just bought in that you love and go absolute Maverick with your armband.

    Go on Henrikh, make me proud.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I brought him in but didn't captain him. Hope he rewards your bravery.

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Hope he comes in for you and Ibra blanks.

      Cheers boys.

  4. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which one?

    A) Lallana & Anichebe > De Roon & Benteke
    B) Lallana & Kane > Aguero & Phillips
    C) Kane & Anichebe >Defoe & Benteke

    Heaton
    Luiz / Koscielny / Brunt
    Hazard / Siggy / Sanchez / Lallana
    Ibra / Anichebe / Kane

    Bench: Jaku, Barry, Amat, Love

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      see the games first 🙂

    2. TeachYouAlisson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure why you would get rid of lallana.
      You would need to work out how to get costa ibra and kun as strikers and build team around that.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      C looks good.

    4. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B but Siggy out
      But wait for the games

  5. La Roja

    Early thoughts here gents?

    Grant
    Jones Alonso McAuley
    Eriksen Siggy Hazard Sanchez
    Origi Costa Ibra

    Jaku* Holebas Amat Hojbjerg

    2 FT's & 0.1m ITB

    A) Origi Eriksen ➡ Anichebe KDB
    B) Origi Hazard Siggy ➡ Aguero Cabaye Chadli -4
    C) Siggy ➡ Lallana and save other FT
    D) Holebas Siggy ➡ Rose Cabaye/Chadli

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      C. Taking Origi out against Sunderland could backfire.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think there's a better chance Sturridge starts than Origi scoring.

        B looks the one for me.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          *realized it's chadli not phillips. how secure is his time now.

        2. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Klopp has been there over a year now and has done nothing to suggest to anyone that Sturridge is one of his main players and it's only his fitness keeping him out.

          He even moved Firmino upfront to avoid playing him , there has to come a point where people stop burying their head in the sand about him, he don't fit Klopps style.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how badly you want Aguero.
      I'd go with c though.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      C

    RE Transfers.

    Why not have a set 20 transfers either side of the new year. Spend them all say by November and you would have to wait until January 1st to receive more.

    No Wild Cards.
    ( I think ESPN did something like this)

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think the game makers want large continued participation. Lots would make lots of transfers right away and then lose interest.

    2. Gianfranco Sola
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Because this rules out many strategies of top players.

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Good luck if you get injuries.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        That's where patience come in. Not spending all the transfers too soon.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Blank weeks and DGWs will smash those transfers out quickly.

  7. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Snodgrass worth keeping through his tough fixtures? Or ditch after the next two weeks? He is probably the safest, if not the most explosive, option at that price.

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can score v anyone, if you don't have another candidate in mind, I'd keep.

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can't see him getting anything during those fixtures. So ditch beforehand

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ditch. Check out Cabaye over next two to see if he fared better under Sam.

    4. Live Lad
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have had him for a while. Will ditch only when I have a FT.

  8. Butcher
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    A) Cabaye and Rondon
    B) Phillips and Benteke

    Cheers

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B. Still need to eyeball Cabaye with new manager.

    2. Sanchit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

  9. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which do you believe will do better?

    A) Siggy, Eriksen, Hazard & Origi +£1.9m
    or
    B) Lallana, Alli, Firmino & Costa

    I currently have A.

    1. Butcher
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one but I'd say B

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers. Perhaps take off Siggy/Lallana as I may do this anyway.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lallana + Firmino should outscore Siggy + Origi

      Costa matches Hazard and Eriksen matches Alli

      B should win it in the long-term

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Also can't take away the extra money it takes.
        However it is pushing cash more into the fwd line.

  10. Game of Throw_ins
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How does it look for next 3-4 GWs? Tempted to Wildcard to get this team.

    GRANT (JAKU)
    Alonso Brunt Jones (AKE NYOM)
    Sanchez Hazard Lallana ALLEN (4.2)
    KUN Ibra RONDON

    My Current team is:
    HEATON PICKFORD
    Alonso Brunt Jones CEDRIC AMAT
    Sanchez Hazard Lallana MANE SIGGY
    Ibra DIOMANDE ORIGI

    Brain says to use WC around DGWs. Confused...

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Don't WC. If you want Kun you can get there in 3 moves

    2. Sanchit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      you are basically swapping 2 of your premium-ish mids and Cedric for 3 cheapies just to get in Kun. is he worth that?

    3. Gianfranco Sola
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Much better now, I'd get costa if anything, by swapping mane and diomande

    4. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Your WC team looks like the one I posted on the previous page. I like it! Same dilemma for me regarding playing the WC early...

    5. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Premature wildcard. Pull yourself together 🙂

  11. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    thinking of doing kane/siggy/holebas/carroll to kun/rodriguez /brunt/anichebe, any opinions ?

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      -12?

      1. TooDifficuIt
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        -8 which will be my first hit

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure it's worth it. Regardless the Holebas > Brunt can wait right? Doesn't free money for Kun.

      1. TooDifficuIt
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        it can wait, maybe i will just do kane/siggy to kun/philips but seems a lot would do it and suddenly i don't like it anymore

        1. Legomane
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Im thinking doing this, but depends on Origi start. May take him out for -4

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Those moves are not worth -8.

  12. rohan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Daniel Sturridge (c) against Sunderland ?

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Risky to say the least.

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't have Sturridge in my team at all

    3. Live Lad
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If Origi is injured this weekend.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Firmino or the tea lady will probably play upfront before Sturridge if Origi gets injured.

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Morning guys, how does this look for a WC team?

    Grant,
    Jones, Ake, Verthongen
    Hazard, Lallana, Snodgrass, Sanchez
    Aguero, Costa, Defoe

    Subs: Pickford, Chambers, Amat, De Roon

    0.1 left ITB

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Should probably say it only involves 5 transfers:

      Jones for McAuley
      Verthongen for Brunt
      Snodgrass for Capoue
      Aguero for Ibra
      Defoe for Kane

      Maybe I should save WC?

    2. Gianfranco Sola
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not bad, I only don't like Grant

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, trouble is I can't afford anyone else

    3. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd save

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'm starting to think I should save too, and just do Aguero and Defoe/Tekkers for Ibra and Kane in GW 20.

        Will give me a chance to see if Jones is nailed too before getting him.

    4. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Save. Find a way to keep Ibra at the mo

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate. Sounds like a plan. Ibra, Costa and Aguero up top!

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Managed to achieve this with 3 transfers (not submitted yet)

        Grant,
        Brunt, Ake, Nyom
        Sanchez, Capoue, Lallana, Eriksen
        Ibra, Costa, Aguero

        Means losing Hazard to Eriksen but reckon it's worth it. 0 ITB.

  14. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How's this team looking for next gw?

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Bellerin - Brunt - Mee - Amat - Lenihan
    Sanchez - Hazard - Sigurdsson - Philips
    Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Benteke

    Thoughts please.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Carrick 5th mid

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Noice. Bellerin is a lovely differential.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hopped on that wagon last gw. Have big expectations.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Good luck with it.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Cheers.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Chelsea defender for Bellerin, Snodgrass for Phillips and Defoe for Tekkers if you can afford

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        😀

        I'm ditching Alonso ad Defoe to get that team.

        Will get a Chelsea defender for Bellerin around gw 26.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Tbf as Lateriser 12 said, he's a great differential. Think you may need need a Liverpool mid or attack as suggested though.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            See below.

            Got cash for Coutinho.

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Perfect!

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Sorry one final thought.

                Downgrade Ibra to Costa and improve defense? Thinking longer term.

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      G2G!
      Pretty poor defence going fwd though and I'd get some Pool attack asap, Siggy > Lallana.
      Perhaps a Tekkers downgrade to help other areas as so much cash already up front.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Got cash itb for Siggy ➡ Coutinho in gw 22.

        Like him as a differential over Lallana. Mee ➡ Chambers next gw.

      2. Kuqi Monster
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What's the urgency for pool attack with their fixtures?

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          They score a lot of goals.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Also got on Bellerin for this week, the next 6 fixtures could see him be a very big player at both ends.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Got Bellerin and Alonso locked in, they are as important to me as Costa and Ibra or Sanchez and Hazard (if he goes on another run)

  15. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Starting a new £ ML from GW20. Would appreciate your thoughts on this new team I've made with 100m available.

    Valdes - Hennessey
    Dann - Brunt - Jones - Chambers - Ake
    Sanchez - Mkhi - Lallana - Phillips - De roon
    Ibra - Costa - Rondon

    Depth in defence as I can't afford a premium just yet so I've gone for rotation between good fixtures.

    Any thoughts on changes would be appreciated!

  16. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone take a hit this week (for GW19)?

    Notice that the rank drop wasn't that huge?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ya about 18k drop for me with -4

      You?

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        36k in total after the Everton game (had no one in that) was expecting it to be much more.

        Loads must have hit.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Yep. The table is kinda compressed anyway.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years

      Took (-8).

      Thanks to Lukaku I'm still Top of my ML after his blank.

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Top 10k average of only about 1 point so far helped too.

    4. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      8 point hit.
      Dropped 101k

    5. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. No points with a -4 and dropped from 80k to 96k

    6. The Hindu Monkey

      I climbed one place thanks to no hits in my mini league...

    Worth doing Siggy(cpl)> Lallana(sund) to catch his next price rise?

    1. Gianfranco Sola

      I'd wait and see what they do this week

    1. Gianfranco Sola
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Are you saying that only a bunch of them have 16 or less total transfers, while the others have more?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        The other 32 have taken hits and haven't gone "dead" like the ones above.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Their low TV will be s disadvantage in the second half of the season

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Only if all the expensive players score comparable to their price and value options don't appear.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          More money is always an advantage, no way around that

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            It only gives you more options. Can also lead you to failure.

          2. Ruth_NZ
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            No, it's not. It's a potential advantage and not a hugely significant one at that.

            There was a guy towards the end of last season who realised that he wasn't going to make the top 100k. He tweeted "WTF, I have 112m of players in my squad, how is this possible?"

      2. TokyoRisingSun
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        With the exception of a couple their TVs aren't actually all that low.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Having the right players goes a long way.
          Only 3 of 18 below 103.

  20. Lucky_Z

    Heaton • Jaku
    Alonso • Cedric • McAuley • Holebas • Amat
    Hazard • Walcott • Payet • Siggy • Alexis
    Ibra • Llorente • Anichebe

    2FTs, 1.5ITB

    Worth doing ?

    Walcott + Payet + Llorente => Lallana + JRod + Costa

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. Gianfranco Sola
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      YES

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 11 months ago

      No

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe

  21. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What to do?

    A) Origi out for ??
    B) suggested changes in Defence?
    C) somehow get a playing 2nd keeper?

    Foster, Pickford
    Alonso, Jones, Cedric, Friend, Amat
    Hazard, Sanchez, Walcott, Lallana, De Roon
    Ibra, Costa, Origi

    2 FTs, 0 in the bank, chosen to keep Walcott through the good fixtures

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A. Rondon

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Walcott is of no use if he's injured though. Origi out for Rondon maybe? I plan to make that after this GW

    3. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      3 5 2 or keep scratching your head

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wally is falling daily mate? Why didn't you switch to Sterling or someone? Siggy even? It's hard to make 0.1 net, it's so easy to lose 0.1, 0.2, 0.3... net.

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Rondon
      Cedric > Brunt
      Theo > ££? J Rod
      Pickford > Grant

    Best points haul this game week after the first game - and a few points on the bench probably https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/4259801/event/19

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Benching rose Ibra and Sanchez? That team is a joke

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Pulled together this week it seems, not sure what the point of it is though

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Will be nowhere to be seen tonight.

      Used wrong chip

  23. Evans
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    According to the ICT index for players 5.5 and less is as follows

    Allen
    Puncheon
    Capoue
    Phillips

    Which one would you bring in ?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Phillips I think?

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Forgot to say that is ranked in ICT order

  24. Cruz88
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Just had a look at the team that scored 53 last night, 3 Everton mids, 2 hull defenders and snodgrass triple captain, Sanchez, Rose and Ibra on the bench...makes you wonder what some people's strategy is?

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's like they've only just started

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It's a team created for this GW.

        Friday*

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          true, should have used BB otherwise and chosen Baines

          1. TokyoRisingSun
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Agreed. Who on earth chooses Gueye

      2. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah that's the thing, seems to be catered towards winning Friday only? Strange

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Why is it strange? More chance winning Friday with 1 game than any other time.

          1. Cruz88
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I just mean what do you gain from winning one day? Isnt there only a weekly prize?

  25. 824545201
    • 9 Years

    Any chance Jaku gets back in goal after Marshall's embarrassing OG?

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't count on it

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Phelan is incompetent. Comes across as someone unwilling to correct his mistakes especially with signings he's made.

  26. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Morning.

    Cech Pick
    Alonso Lovren Holebas Pieters Chambers
    Sanchez Siggy Lallana Pedro Carrick
    Ibra Kane Defoe

    2 FT 0 ITB

    Kane/Defoe/Pedro => Agüero/Rondon/Phillips -4?

    Kun (BUR) Rondon and Phillips (HUL)
    vs.
    Kane (CHE) Defoe (LIV) Pedro (tot)

    Could potentially make up the -4 in the first week already.

    But does it make sense to you also longer term?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I personally wouldn't want double WBA attack.

      1. Legomane
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This is my dilemma
        Kane Siggy Origi > Aguero Rondon Philips/Cabaye/Allen

        Allen(or puncheon for that matter) also gives me funds to upgrade Pickford to Valdes which is tempting...

  27. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Leading ML by 19 pts after last night (couple of them have kak)

    Just had a wee nosey at the chasing teams: 4 or the next 5 have Ibrahimovi(c), 1 has (C)osta. Makes my San(c)hez pick something of an unexpected differential. Could be interesting either way...

    Thankfully 3rd is 81pts back, so at worse will drop to 2nd for the turn of the year.

  28. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Wildcard team:

    Grant heaton
    Bellerin jones brunt ake amat
    Sanchez eriksen lallana zaha deroon
    Ibra costa rondon

    Anything glaringly wrong with that?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      zahaaaaaa

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha off to AFCON. Alonso instead of bellerin

    3. Evans
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha ....

    4. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No Kun

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha goes to AFCON

    6. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      What's your current team? early WC surely can't be necessary at this stage?!

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I honestly dont care that much. This is my tenth and last fpl season and im bored right now and want something to do.

        1. Legomane
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Rage quit it is. Triple captain Darmian.

  29. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Really struggling with this and appreciate it's probably been asked a lot but I really cannot decide which 2 big hitting strikers to have!.

    Currently own Costa and Ibra but Kun is troubling me.

    Is it worth downgrading midfield defence for all three or do I ultimately have to pick 2 out of the 3.

    I also own Sanchez and Hazard so could Haz cover me if i did Costa > Aguero?

    Be interested to hear people's thoughts on this. Appreciate if most are tired of discussing it though.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez, Ibra, Haz, Kun, pool mid, Che def seems to be the consensus of must haves. So Costa-> Kun

    2. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd have Costa over Hazard. And Kun, and Ibra.

      I'm going without Chelsea forward cover though. Sanchez, Kun, Ibra are going to be my heavies.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No, it's a good question. Just have some kind of plan, as back-up, in case. For now just relax and see how he plays.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Many thanks for your feedback guys is much appreciated. I guess I'll judge after today's games but steering more towards Costa > Kun as already own Hazard. Unless I downgrade hazard significantly and keep the power 3 up top. Tough call.
