    Anyone watch Chelsea v Arsenal?

    Morata looked like a different player to the awful one we know. Only one game and he won't be playing Arsenal every week...but 9.0...

      Nah.

      Kante looks terrific value in Sarri’s set up, he’s obviously been told to get in the box more.

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Can have more than 1 Chelsea player 😉

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Problem is Jorhinio isn't doing enough defensively , nor is Willian or Pedro...so kante going forward is costing them big time. Not sure how long this will last

      If he can practise on his finishing then he'd be an awesome option.

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That's a class chart.

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        King vs Wilson on that chart is interesting.

        King is down as a middling quality finisher of pretty tough chances.

        Wison is an awful (Benteke-esque) quality finisher of much easier chances.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He's quality smashed it at Madrid and Juve. I'd have him except worried Giroud will steal alot of mins

  2. Patch
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Even though Wolves lost, they created good chances... jiminez looks promising!

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

      He's a good 3rd striker

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wolves could have been up 2-3 nil early in the match. Hit the woodwork 3 times!

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed. Not the easiest starts either — Eve / LEI was no banker. Give them time.

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It's surprising how invisible Jota has been in all this.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        He did get an assist last week

        1. BON
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          He was fouled for the penalty.

    5. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, happy Jiminez owner.

    6. Ynwalfc
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Neves looks like a bargain!!! Very unlucky

  3. martyhan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Have 2 FT

    Just do
    A. King to ings
    Or
    B.king and PVA to ings and Alonso (have AWB)

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B

    Mourinho: “Technically Victor (Lindelof) is good. I am “punishing” him a little bit because I play him on the left side. He is better on the right side but so are the others and my option is to put him on the left because technically he is the best so he can compensate.” [Mail]

    Lindelof nailed?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looking that way. But who has room for a Man United defender?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Four at the back. Doing Bavies>Alonso this week to get Alonso-Mendy-Robbo-Shaw. Shaw might become another United defender or PVA soon.

        1. Squib
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          That is now my defence: Robertson Alonso Mendy PVA.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        o/

        Can replace Cedric.

      3. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Don't have room for any of United's attacking options but the defenders are great value considering their defensive record last season.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yep Bailly good value

  5. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Crystal ball time, City’s starting XI? I think the only change will be Otamendi or Kompany in for Laporte

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t start this.

      You know what’s coming next....................

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I really hope you're right.

      All about Agüero though.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Reckon Jesus for Gundog

    4. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus up top is the only real certainty... After that, it would be pure guesswork!

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Or out wide

        1. Ibralicious
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Or in place of Kun

  6. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who to bring in for Kenedy?

    A) Kante

    B) Fernandinho

    C) Neves

    D) Surman

    1. Mikeharbrw
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If your budget is 5m it's probably kante. The guy was playing almost as a #10 yesterday

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        He definitely looks to be playing a higher role with Sarri.

      2. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        It is yeah I watched the game he was pretty much playing behind Morata

    2. subhojit123
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Out of those... Kante.
      But check new castles fixtures before swapping

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Would be VERY surprised if he doesn't get a ban for violent conduct.

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I heard of his headbutt yesterday he will so and his price will drop tonight or tomorrow so might be a case of making the change before it happens

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't get Kante. The manager will surely come to his senses very soon and realise that what he's doing is probably the stupidest thing since harry Kane last took a corner

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Sarri likes to experiment with players can see him giving Kante time to adapt to the role of I'm honest

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          He can't kick a ball straight.

  7. Parm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Still steaming after the Kenedy pen miss.

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      My post above says everything with what I'm doing with him 😉

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      His suspension going to hurt too. Moved him on?

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Wildcarded. Thinking of Kanté, very impressive yesterday.

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Good stuff. Sorely tempted but should be able to do enough with a -4 (2FT)

          Kante will get best returns in that price tag if he continues there. Chelsea offering a lot of good priced options early on.

        2. Pillson
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          If you are the type of person prone to an early wildcard, why start the season with kenedy, given his awful opening fixtures?

        3. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I disagree. I think he looked like an absolute dobber and can't fathom what Sarri is playing at

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Can’t believe he took it given the stinker of a game he was having. Assumed Shelvey would take it after all the substitutions.

  8. subhojit123
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Alonso or trippier?

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso

    2. subhojit123
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I know Alonso was terrific yesterday. But on other hand, trippier was on corners, free kicks and crosses... Pretty much like he was doing in England squad...

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        alonso is nailed on. trippier isnt

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Trippier.

      Seems to have replaced Eriksen on set pieces.

      As an Eriksen owner I am now concerned.

  9. Sad Ken
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who d'ya think's most likely to give way to Hazard when he's finally starting?

    Seems to be replacing Willian whenever he's brought on, but don't know if Pedro would be the man to make way?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Willian didn’t impress yesterday and was at fault for Arsenal’s first goal.

      Personally, would keep Pedro who is a better finisher.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I'd like to agree, but he's never really impressed in a Chelsea shirt. Thought he was going to be a shoe in when he arrived from Barca. Maybe it'll be his season to nail a spot.

    2. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard will replace Willian imo. Pedro offers something different with his runs in behind.

  10. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Can’t decide between....

    Luiz > Alonso
    or
    Neves > Maddison

    Thoughts guys??

    1. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Surely not Neves to Maddison?

      Alonso looks really, really good while Luiz looks really, really bad 🙂

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Fair point. Just think Maddison is going to be on fire for Leicester and I could always swap Luiz for someone else anyway??

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Personally I think Alonso is more important than switching Neves for Maddison but I may be biased, just got him in 😉

  11. BON
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson
    Salah, Eriksen, Richarlison, Neves
    Firmino, Arnautovic, Zaha

    How would you change this team?

    1. Sylas

      How would you?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen to Sterling.

    3. TerryVenables
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen>Hazard

  12. doy

    Is an early wildcard for GW3 madness?

    Hart McCarthy
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Wan-Bissaka Bennett

        1. BON
          • 11 Years

          Strong team. Save your Wildcard imo. Any FT?

          1. doy
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I did until I did Bavies --> Alonso!

        2. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          No wildcard needed.

          Jota and King out.

          1. doy
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers, but there's so many changes I want to make and I feel that a Wildcard would be very handy indeed. I know it's early but it could pay dividends.

    2. amit1964
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      a lot of options 3:4:3 3:5:2 4:3:3 4:4:2 it can all work for you

      1. doy

        Indeed my friend, need the flexibility.

    Sanchez/King the fall guys

    1. BON

      Sanchez to Hazard instead?

      1. JurgenRodgers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Hazard still not ready for 90 mins according to Sarri

        1. Rihanovic
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Your source for this info. Please???

  16. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Did the Wildcard? What do you think?

    DDG, Hamer
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson. PVA, AWB
    Salah, Mane. Mikhi, B Silva, Richarlison
    Zaha, Wilson. Jimenez

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Can you explain PVA? 5.5 for a Palace defender? I just don't get it.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Gets forward in a team with very good fixtures. 11 points in his first game. What's not to like?

    2. BON
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like a benching headache nightmare. If Kane/Agüero/Aubameyang/Sterling/Hazard hit top form you'll need to start taking hits.

    3. Parm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would like at least one of Aubameyang/Aguero for those fixtures mate but that's me. Looks good for a 4-5-1/3-5-2 sort of hybrid.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If I were wildcarding, I'd want to be seeing Sterling or Hazard in there as big differentials.

      This is basically a perfect GW1/GW2 team

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Don't think you need 3 cheap starting fwds with that setup.

    6. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No love for Pedo?

      I think he's great value at 6.5m. Plays in frontline for chelsea and has nice fixtures

      1. Teror

          And will risk benching when Hazard is back?

        Foster Patricio
        Mendy Robertson Tomkins AWB Peltier
        Salah Mane Mahrez Jota Richarlison
        Aguero King Kamara

        2 FT.

        Any Suggestions?

        Aguero King Jota Peltier and maybe Mahrez seem to be the ones out.

        WC?

          Save WC.
          Get rid of King, Jota and I would sack off 1 of the 4.5 GKs for a 4.0.

        I’m looking for GW6 and beyond...

        A) 343 with Vardy

        B) 352 with Alli

      7. Teror
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure what to do about King: downgrade to a 5.5 like Ings or Jiminez or get a 4.5 like Kamara in and go all out in midfield?

        1. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't get 4.5 forward

        2. Udo
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Depends on what ur playing? 3-5-2, 4-4-2 etc. If ur 3rd forward is always only used as a sub, u could certainly go for Kamara in my opinion.

        Not seeing much Fraser chat.

        5.5- he did amazingly last season and is off to a flyer this one. Good fixtures, what's not to like?

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          If he did amazingly last season, he wouldn't be 5.5.

          1. noquarternt
            • 8 Years

            For a Bournemouth mid of course.

      10. bv57

        At this stage of the season would you - 8 or wildcard?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          -8

        2. Sylas
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Neither.

        3. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I try to avoid -8 hits. It's horrible having that handicap going into a GW.

        4. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Your WC is worth way more than 8pts.

          Only wildcard if you can makes at least 4-5 good changes and probably some other lower priority changes while you're at it

          1. bv57
            • 10 Years

        Is it good to swap Hazard for Alexis due to expected fall in Chilean price (per fantasyfix it's now -96.1%) for GW3?

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I would. Hazard is better in every respect. And Sanchez looks miserable/hamstrung under Moo.

            What did he expect utter moron for going to ManU

        2. LSK
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Wait until after the game. He can’t drop until 2 am even if he goes above 100%

      12. JamieC180
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        What do people think of:
        A.
        Sanchez --> Eriksen
        Bailly --> Alonso
        B.
        Sanchez --> Hazard
        Save one FT

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Keep Bailly

      13. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Who will score more this season?

        Mane or Sterling

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Coin toss but Mane has the value

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Sterling, but Mane is better value

        3. amit1964
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          mane becouse he will play more minutes

        4. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Sterling

      14. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        King out and either upgrade fifth mid to say Micky or upgrade a 4.5m defender to Alonso?

      15. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I can do this moves for free
        Shaw and King to Alonso and Ings
        Then I will have Mendy Robertson and Alonso
        Too much money in defence?

        1. Squib
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Depends on rest of your team but I would do it.
          I have that defence plus Salah, Aguero and Kane.

      16. BOATIES FC

        Fab Foster
        VVD Mendy AWB Peltier Boly
        Salah Mahrez Pogba Bilva Cairney
        Tosun Firminho KIng

        2FT and 1mill itb

        Original plan was monitor Mahrez and bring in Hazard KDB as appropriate,
        Boly King to Alonso Ings is on and looks a decent upgrade but means Hazard will be a non starter for a few weeks..
        I could do boly King to Ings Pereira (LEI) and still have 1.5 itb to upgrade elsewhere next week...

        Thoughts?
