    Would love to see Hazard replace Morata in the Cheslea 11 next week.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard, Pedro, Willian

      Hmmmm

      1. Raycharlison
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe Giroud. That's definitely a situation to monitor

    2. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Why? Didn’t look great up top last season.

      1. Mysterion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe Sarri can turn him into Mertens 2.0

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I think he plays at his best when he’s got space in front of him. But hey, you might be right. Not seen much of SarriBall tbh.

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Brilliant player when he is on his game the frustrating thing is he goes missing for long periods at times during the season not sure why but it always coincides with unrest in the camp

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Feel he good be a good option this season. I can’t wait to get him in my team. Just want to see how he fits in next week.

    Puel close to getting the sack apparently with Martinez+Henry rumoured in.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Already?

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What wrong has he done tho?

    3. Parm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible idea. Leicester have a nice young squad and Puel is great at nurturing talent.

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lost away to Man Utd and he is now getting sacked

      Who makes this shite up

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Reporters having to fill column inches would be my guess.

    5. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Who does he manage? I’m so out of touch these days 😆

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        It’s down to the form of last season carried on, its not just now!! The owners have absolutely no patience

  3. Leeds2116
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Is will hughes still worth it?

      1. Leeds2116
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        i dont get it?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          It's the match report posted by a Watford fan.

          To sum it up for you, they do feel that the fact that Hughes is playing on the wings is hindering his attacking potential. He's a much better player when he plays central.

          You can monitor for another week or two and then decide if you wanna keep or ship.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You picked him for a reason, right? Can’t score every game. His turn next time maybe.

    Non-member crew checking in.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Well played, you weren’t duped by the so called FPL experts on FFS 😉

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Need a full turn out from the Jam Blockers today - don’t let us down lads.

  6. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Rage transferred Richarlison in for Jota yesterday, he was in my squad for weeks before deadline but changed my mind last minute ffs! Anyone else forget how annoying this game is every off season?

    1. WesMantooth
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This is Bound to happen every year. As the clock ticks down you left with what? 6-7 players your absolutely certain about, and maybe 10+ players you like to fit in the reamining 4-5 slots. Theres Always gonna be that one player you dabbled with, that explodes gw1 and gives regret. Just need to accept that thats one of the likeliest things to happen in gw1 is my guess.

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, you read various comments on here and that sways you one way or another but at the end if the day YOU pressed the transfer button so you got to accept your decision and move on to next GW - I swapped out Neves, Richarilson and Shaw last minute but lets see how my replacements do today!

    2. Greggaz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      If Rich is injured your decision could turn out to be the right one! Jota’s form last year was awesome...

      I went with Rixh over Jota and hopefully I was right... but to early to tell

  7. New Post

    Hamer had 1(!) save and conceded 3. Perhaps not all time record, but Lössl could not have done worse.

    As Patricio owner I am not happy with Wolves defence. Opinions?

    1. Leeds2116
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      fab

    2. WesMantooth
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Go with foster. Gracia is such a defensiveminded manager.

  9. Bayern Swine Flu
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Worth sticking with Siggy or knee jerk to Richarlison/Neves to catch rise?

    Feel like siggy was unlucky yesterday after being subbed off early..

    1. Greggaz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t think knee jerks are ever right but tbh I wouldn’t have gone for Siggy in the first place.

      So if I had Siggy in my team I would sub him out, yeah...

      Unless it would effect other sub plans.

  10. Nicks93
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone watched Kenedy yesterday?

    Did he look good or should I shift to Neves?

    Thanks

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      ken missed a sitter.
      he is a good value for money player

    2. Tactical Nuke
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Looked good, hit the post with fiery shot.

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Was active and up and about. One to monitor. Had a golden chance but poor first touch let him down. Newcastle were surprisingly expansive yesterday and deserved at least a point. If they keep playing that way, he could be an absolute bargain

  11. FootballFanatic365
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    save ft ?

    Patrício
    Robertson Luiz Davies
    Salah Pedro Jota Richarlison
    King Agüero Aubameyang

    Fabianski Hudson-Odoi Wan-Bissaka Peltier

    1. Greggaz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      100%. Too early to make any rash decisions

      I have knee jerked after 1 GW in the old days and my starting team then started performing

      Keep the faith!

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        thanks greggaz

  12. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    A lot could change obviously but from gw 15 to 26, Kane, Alli/Son and a Spurs defender/Lloris could be gold

  13. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I feel the best thing you can do yourself is to not make a transfer after gw1. Lots of emotion and anger. Feel people should save the free transfer on gw2 and then have 3 possibly heading into gw3. The likes of AWB, Rich, Neves could so easily blank next week

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      but if you're bringing in AWB, Rich, Neves you're not just bringing them in for 1GW.

      All 3 currently look the best value in their respective price points

    2. Greggaz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Couldn’t agree more

  14. vaisakh2793
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Hey guys,Is Benjamin Mendy of Man city a good pick?

    1. Pkellz1985
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes he's a beast he got 15 points today, mental!

  15. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Any insight from BOU game?

    Br King owner

  16. Hermanos FC
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Heyyyy
    My team for gw1 was
    Patricio
    Robertson Mendy Shaw
    Salah Mane Bilva Jota
    Aguero Zaha King

    Hart WB Cairney Peltier

    So should I save the transfer? Or make a transfer

  17. @FPL_Chess
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just watched a recording of the Sunday Supplement. One chap sent a twitter in @jungleking I think, saying in the first season José Mourinho buys a bus, second season he parks the bus, third season he throws his players under the bus. Strangely accurate, except he doesn't usually wait until his 3rd season to do that.

      1. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        The man is a rodent. The sooner English football is shot of this negative, petulant, ignorant little pest, the greater the game will be after it recovers from the plague he infected it with. He treats the media, his players and ultimately the punter with contempt and arrogance. A true little Rattus Rattus.

        1. @FPL_Chess
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Harsh but fair.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          So the pre-season tour didn't go down like this?
          https://youtu.be/Jg0RJSzGwlA

          😉

      2. @FPL_Chess
          5 years, 7 months ago

          The Sunday Supplement also showed the back pages that Leicester's manager Claude Puel is going to be replaced. I'm sure some of these owners replace managers with as much empathy was we 'FPL managers' replace players.

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            The Sunday supplement is full of sh!t. No way the board sacks him now instead of 5 nil Crystal Palace... He'll be given at least 8-10 games

            1. @FPL_Chess
                5 years, 7 months ago

                I think it was the back page of the Sunday People. So it must be true!

          2. Gangula
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Should I do this:
            Swap Aguero to Kamara now, so I could get Pogba, B.Silva and Richarlison (For Jota, Gunnarsson and Stephens) after R2 and take 8 points penalty then?

            My current team:
            Foster (Fabianski)
            Azpilicueta; Cédric; Mendy; Tomkins (Wan-Bissaka)
            Stephens; Jota; Salah; Mané (Gunnarsson)
            Zaha; Agüero; Firmino

            Thanks!

            1. Sharpey
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              I’d be keeping Aguero for Huddersfield match, potential of a hatful. Team looking good to me for another week no changes.

              1. Gangula
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                After writing this I realised that trading Aguero after GW2 will cost me just as much penalty points as trading him now, so that was stupid from me, but anyway thanks for your answer I will keep the team for GW2

          3. vaisakh2793
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            My team
            Rui Patricio(Pickford)
            Robertson,Van Aanholt,Mendy(Peltier,Bednarek)
            Bernado Silva,Jota,Mane,Eriksen(Dale Stephens)
            Aguero,Firmino,Kamara

            Can you suggest any changes ahead of gameweek 2 ?

            PS: Is Eriksen still worth keeping or should i swap him for somebody else?

          4. omiros1982

            Morata Firminio Austin
            Bench:
            Fabiansky wan bizzaka Danilo Milivojevic

            Is it great idea to bring Hazard?

            Or
            Replace Morata with other player and bring Hazard at Gameweek 3?
            Or bring Mendy?

            Patricio Zaha WB Cairney
            This is my current team
            Should I make a transfer? Or save ft?
            And what about my subs should I play Zaha? If yes, whom should swap with him

              When there's been enough transfers of a player and the price sites work out what that threshold for the new season is...
