Fantasy managers backing goals for both Liverpool and Palace

The most captained and most transferred in player of Gameweek 2 will both be at the heart of the action as the latest round of matches draws to a close.

Sadio Mané (£9.7m) was snapped up by 487,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers after his brace against West Ham in Gameweek 1, and he is in the starting line-up tonight.

Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park having won 2-1 on their last visit back in March. The events of that meeting bode well for Mané and the 54 percent owned Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who both found the net.

Not surprisingly, the Egyptian is the most captained player in Gameweek 2, with 1.4 million managers handing him the armband.

Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), backed by 17 percent of Fantasy managers, also registered an assist during his last trip to Selhurst Park, as well as in Gameweek 1 of 2018/19.

There will also be much interest in the exploits of each side’s forwards tonight with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) the second most-owned option in this encounter, his 35 percent following second only to Salah. Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is not far behind the Brazilian in third place with a backing of 31 percent.

After emerging as a fantastic budget option in Gameweek 1, Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes into his second match of the season now priced at £4.1m and in 22.5 percent of squads.

Tonight’s Monday night match should definitely have a big impact on the outcome of Gameweek 2.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

      ye she’ll be fine till next week, no need for any more tinkering

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Save on PVA for Schlup maybe and upgrade Peltier.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not bad idea, cheers

    3. Demel

      Fine for this week.

  2. JUST W
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I have 2 FT’s but no obvious transfers...
    Do these seem sideways
    DDG and Bilva out for Ederson and Mhiki????
    Or
    Cariney out for Kante or other 5.0 and save other FT???

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just DDg to Ederson not possible?

      1. JUST W
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but I feel like I want arsenal cover for their fixtures and already have 3 Man City

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Can you afford Fraser?

      1. JUST W
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Could do DDG to Ederson and Cairney to Fraser?!?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          A good call IMO.

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

          This sounds good

    3. MAVER!CK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1st one looks like a good move

    4. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely De Gea to Ederson

  3. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Eye candy wise:
    Palace impressed me and will reap points.
    Sakho and WB best players with sprinkling of Zaha but Sakho gave a penalty and WB sent off.
    What a crazy situation for FPL!

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think Sakho is a great option

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I cannot believe he is playing for a club outside of the top 6.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yet, has was so clumsy to give that penalty away

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Mistakes happen but he has done 2 pens (one missed by the ref last week) But still, so impressed with his play otherwise.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, not at all worried about the Palace defence double up. They look like they will be especially stingy at home this season if everyone stays healthy. Higher up the pitch, I’m a bit concerned about the quality of their midfield, looks a bit light right now and I think Benteke is just too far past it to be a good fit in a side with this much pace.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You have hit the nail on the head. Fuchs, WB, PVA and even Sakho are all promising Palace assets.

  4. MAVER!CK
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    On WC. Pick one
    442
    Ederson
    Mendy Alonso Robertson Pereira
    Hazard Mane Walcott Fraser
    Aguero Auba

    352
    Hennessey
    Mendy Alonso TAA
    Hazard Mane Walcott Fraser BSilva
    Aguero Auba

    So basically ditch BSilva for superior defence..I don't usually ditch players after one blank but what do you think?

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      442

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

      Bsilva is a no-brained until started getting rotated. Especially with Kdb out

      1. MAVER!CK
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        So you saying keep Silva? but that means settle for Hennessey+TAA over Ederson+Robertson..worth it?

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      The 4-4-2 looks mint

      1. MAVER!CK
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate

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

    Another Quick Q: Transfer (-4) for a playing defender? Have Bednarek, Peltier and Wan B. 0.9 itb.

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Long term it will pay off. Bednarek is the first to go.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, worth it

    3. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      lovely. thanks all

  6. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan
    Luiz - Mendy- Robbo - Bailly
    Salah - Maddison- Hazard - Pogba
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Button- Fraser- AWB- Kamara

    This is my usual XI (although Fraser will start this week). I have 0 ITB. 1 FT.

    Bailly is my main concern. Would you bank the transfer or look to switch him? Possibly for PVA or Bellarin?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No standout defense since you have already covered the main teams. Maybe Bailly to Arsenal but thats probably not much improvement, so save and assess

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'd save and next week downgrade Bailly and upgrade Luiz to Alonso

  7. Jacob123
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Please rate my team and help me with transfers:
    Ederson
    Daniels, Robertson, Coleman
    Eriksen, Mkhi, Sanchez, Richarlisons
    Firmino, Aguero, Arnautovic
    Fabianski, WanB, Zanka, Stephens

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

      Sanchez to Mane

    2. Jacob123
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      2 Free Transfers as well.

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

        Coleman to Alonso

        1. Jacob123
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Colemen to Mendy?

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

            He’s got Ederson - needs to keep a mid spot open I reckon

            1. Jacob123
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Should I stack defenders, Coleman to Mendy and Zanka to Alonso

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’d get salah in then, explosion imminent

        1. Jacob123
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          How would I do that, wildcard or save up transfers?

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

            Firming to eg Wilson/Ings and Erik to Salah

            1. Jacob123
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              I'm not 100% on Salah he's 13mil and Mane is cheaper at 9.8mil.

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

    Know it’s a bit early but how did this rabble look chaps?

    0m ITB, no hits.

    Foster
    Robertson, Mendy, Alonso
    B.Silva, Salah, Mane, Richarlison
    Aguero, Zaha, Ings

    (Patricio)(W-B, Stephens, Peltier)

    1. swervinho

      GTG

    2. Demel

      G2g

    3. Hulk Smash

      Looks really good.

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

        Thanks, Ings and Foster aside very happy! No Arsenal could be a concern though!

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Very good but time for Arsenal cover?

  9. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Sorry Man U fans but just dont think DDG is going to live up to his price tag this season? I had him last year but think Ederson or Allison are better buck for your money atm, thoughts?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Fully agree. I’m impressed with Alisson and they way Liverpool defending.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wont be surprised if that happens

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      damn!!! I've had him for 2 weeks too and not impressed. Allison and Ederson out of question since I've maxed out on all pool and city slots. I'm also waiting for matic to get back into the team, then before making a decision on ddg.

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He has let in 10 of the last 14 shots faced and with those defenders in front of him it ain’t going to get better any time soon, the money would be better invested elsewhere. Liverpool have the best looking defence at the moment

      1. jc001
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        who do u get if maxed out on pool and city? kepa?

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Apart from Alonso I wouldn’t go anywhere near that Chelsea defence.

          Pickford is the best of the rest

        2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          if Leno gets Cechs spot could be lovely at 4.9

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

        Issue is it eats up a Pool spot. Robbo is best guy for that defence

    5. MAVER!CK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No arguments there!

    6. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Captain obvious there haha! DDG over performed last season, great keeper but not a miracle worker. MUN are in turmoil, I'm staying well away from them now (cant bear the double pain!). DDG to Ederson seems a great move mate and one I've done. GL!

    7. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      After watching Liverpool last night, I'm convinced that Hennessy is the best keeper option available ATM.
      Palace look primed for clean sheets with their fixtures.

      1. Moosie the Staggie
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Don't know why my phone always autocorrects ATM

  10. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    De gea (hamer)
    Robertson Mendy Tomkins (WB Peltier)
    Salah mane rich bilva (stephens)
    Aguero king zaha

    2FT

    Can't get Alonso in without making 3. Want De gea out.

    Is De gea to ederson, Mendy to Alonso a silly move?

    My other thought at the minute is Chelsea cover via kepa and then bilva to mkhitaryan.

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just do DDG > Ederson for now mate.

    2. jc001
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      u can't get rid of mendy

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Can't without removing city player

        Bilva to mkhitaryan
        De gea to ederson

        1. JUST W
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I’m in exactly the same boat and thinking the same but can’t quite pull the trigger

      2. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        utter madness if you get rid of Mendy too!!!!!

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          That option keeps mendy

  11. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best option out of these?

    A) Keep & start King this week
    (Save 1 FT and sell him next week)

    B) Get Pedro
    (8 good attackers will have to bench Arnie or King)

    C) Sell King for Zaha this week.
    (Zaha facing Watford statistically the 3rd best defence in the league)

    Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      sold king for zaha before he dropped myself

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Really though about it but Watford is going to be a tough game for them. Just couldn’t come to a conclusion.

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sold King > Ings yesterday.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not so sure about Ings. He does have a lot of competition for his place and Soton don’t convince me as a team.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A

      Watfrd has faced Saints and Burnley, so not a big deal 😮

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but they aren’t giving up any big chances and not conceding many shots. I’m expecting it to be a tight game.

    4. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A cause his price already drop

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks Nik! Was thinking of selling him last night but the game started updating and I wasn’t liking Zaha’s fixture this week.

  12. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Slim pickings - who would you start this weekend?
    A) Kamara (BUR)
    B) Neves (MCI)

    Currently on A.

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

      Six of one

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kamara didn't look too bad at the weekend actually!

  13. jc001
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    ddg, boruc
    bellerin, daniels, TAA, bailly, peltier
    salah, bilva, mkhitaryan, richarlison, stephens
    kun, firminio, king

    bailly & king > mendy & kamara

    thoughts?

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yay for me as Mendy is near on essential imo

  14. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts about this team for next GW? Would you do any transfer for a 4 point hit (0.5 idb)

    Hamer
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo
    Salah, Mane, Rich, Mkhi
    Kun, King

    Patricio, Jota, Peltier, Bissaka

    Cheers!

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Nope.

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

        Thanks. G2G in your opinion then?

    2. jc001
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      gtg just be wary of king

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

        I will monitor him! Cheers

    3. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kamara upfront as well, sorry!

  15. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Why have all these teams got Hamer in? Surely Lössl is a better keeper? I know Hamer is 4.0 but how long is he going to last?

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

      Not long, howler on a Sunday

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      if you have a 5.5 hes perfect. Though agree could lose his start soon

  16. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez + WB to Mkhi + Alonso(-4) next week?

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

      Yes

    2. jc001
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      no brainer

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

        Untill Mahrez gets a brace and Mkhi is benched.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes decent moves.

  17. Danstoke82

    Would anyone play their WC for this team?

    Ederson
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    Salah Mane Mkhi Richarlison Kante

      Joke?

      Absolutely not

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ok reasons as to why?

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

        I think he means that would be his team after WC

        1. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Yes sorry guys I meant play my WC to get that team!

    3. Eze Really?

      Looks v solid. What’s your thinking?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking the 3-5-2 route. Double city def and Ederson as put in and leave. Kante looks fantastic value at 5.0. Defence is solid with them 3 and the midfield look good on paper with 4 solid picks. My only quandary would be who to choose out of Arnie and Zaha as 2nd striker although I’m edging more towards the latter due to fixtures.

        I appreciate bench isn’t that great but with Wan B, Ryan Bennett/Peltier and Kamara there should be a solid 2 pointer from each.

        I’m surprised people think this proposal is a joke though as thought it looked a decent team?. I’m not one to WC usually until Intl break but price changes concern me.

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Reckon they though you meant that you had this team and wanted to WC! If not they are just idiots to comment like that!
          Solid team but I like the idea of having a better first sub

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers mate. Would you downgrade Ederson to a 4.5 and use the 1.0 on someone else for my bench then yeah?

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              No standout 4.5 as set and forget so prefer to keep Ederson. Personally going with a 5.0 mid first sub with AWB and Kamara which is very easy to do in my Salahless team! Yours much more tricky!

              1. Danstoke82
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                Yeh true just feel I cannot get rid of Salah. It’s a huge risk. Out of interest this is my current team with no WC would you stick with this lot for now? I took a -8 to bring in Mkhi, Alonso and Rich.

                Patricio (Hamer)
                Alonso Mendy Robertson (Wan B) (Peltier)
                Salah Mane Mkhi Rich (Deondocker)
                Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

                1. jia you
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  I'd def give it another week with that team, Your overthinking it wanting to wildcard that imo, GL!

        2. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          You are going to end up in a right mess with that defence.

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            As in the subs?

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

      You have all 5 essential players and want to WC? Mendy in, Alonso in, Mane in, Richarlison in, Aguero in. All others are decent too. I would save FT and watch about multiple price rises with team like this.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry mate my current team is above. I was proposing to WC to the team in the opening post but not sure what to do really

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

          Sorry, my fault. Do it!

      2. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’m at -8 at the moment due to bringing in Alonso, Mkhi and Rich. Thought about WC and making the further changes i want to do to erase the -8.

        Not sure whether to just swallow the -8 or use the WC and make the changes I’m looking to do instead

  18. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Neves or Kante?

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

      Hughes

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        Yay,lovely 8points, thankfully Alexis got sick of Jose's BS! 😉

  19. carlosice

    Need a cheap 4.5 enabler. Anyone think Guendouzi might be nailed?

    Thanks

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

      Might as well go Steven's from Brighton

  20. Rash

    Team value shooting up quicker than last year? I'm on 100.6 with .5 itb

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      same but actually think that avoiding the drops is the aim of the game now

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      same 101.1

  21. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    How did Hazard look in recent games? I am very interested to make a move for him. Think he will do really well if given starts.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He’s looked pretty good. 2 assists and played only 50-60 mins. Think he’s a good option.

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

        Cheers. Reckon he will start next game?

  22. Fork handles
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Morning chaps,

    Foster
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso - Coleman
    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Bilva
    Aguero - King

    Fabianski - Kamara - Wan-Biss - Schneiderlin

    Used my 2FT to do Tomkins & Jota to Alonso & Schneiderlin which switches me from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2.

    Not happy with King but not taking hits this season (so far...) so he gets a crack at Everton, wishful thinking maybe he'll get a pen. Coleman in the Everton def looks leaky so monitoring other options there. Perhaps switch to 5m def, 7m striker eventually.

    Anyone anything to add? Any other Coleman/King owners in the same boat?

    Good luck and cheers

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      nah team looks great, just slap the armband on salah and you’re all set

      1. Fork handles
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate, that's the plan.

        Relieved to end only 11pts down this week after going Salah over Aguero.

        Salah C for GW3 for sure, he could've had a hat trick last night!

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You could also have done

      King + Jota + Tomkins --> Zaha/Tosun/Arnie + Madisson/Richarlison + 4.0 playing def for a hit.

      Alonso has done great so far, but I doubt he will keep it up to justify the 0.5 over the likes of Trippier, Mendy and Robertson, or for that matter the 1.5 over the likes of TAA. That being said, I think he will do better than most 6.5 mids. But that restricts you to a 6.5 forward. I don't really find value in any 6.5 forwards at this point. The 7.0 bracket has so much more to offer

      1. Fork handles
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Good points.

        I did consider ditching those three this week but I'm really trying to be disciplined this year on hits. I'll take the King drop on the chin for now.

        I agree that below a £7m forward is never going to be consistent and will be a merry go round. I think I'll opt for Arnie when his fixtures turn and downgrade Coleman to find the 0.5m.

        Plans change with every game however!

  23. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Do you think Shaw can nail down the LB spot long term? Yes/No/Maybe

    If no - should I do Shaw --> Bellerin (can't stretch it to Trippier) or someone else max 5.5?

    If maybe or yes - should I save my FT this week, and do Luiz --> Trippier next week?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have him and I think he can, definitely save FT this week imo.

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

      Leave him for now. Tosun to cheaper gives you money for Alonso etc next week?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Downgrading the 7.0 to a cheaper forwards restricts me from getting in any firing 7.0 forward on one ft. Rather go without Alonso for now. But definetely worth thinking about if Jimenez or Ings goes nuts. I'm really keen on getting in Jimenez if Wolves can live up to the preseason expectations

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ah, now I'm slowly being swayed over when thinking about it. Would I rather have Bellerin + Luiz + Zaha/Tosun/Arnie or Trippier + Alonso + Jimenez. When you put it that way, it actually makes really good sense.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for presser. As soon as Valencia is back in training I'd think about dumping. Good value til then, even v Spurs (assuming he recovers from his knock)

      1. MAVER!CK
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I don't know..Shaw's been the only standout performer over 2 games..maybe it'll be young who bites the dust, was horrible against HUD

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That's my main worry. If that is the case, I might as well dumb Shaw now? Rather play Bellerin at home to WHU than United at home to Spurs. Next two games after gw3 for United are away as well. So that is potentially three games without a CS given their current form. And I have no solid bench coming in because of WB's red card

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      not sure on that move, emery has a history of rotating WB and he rates Lichtsteiner so you could end up in the same situation

      but I do think that shaw is on borrowed time unless they start getting results

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. This is actually a really valid point. Thanks Shotgun

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks guys. Might be best for me to save the FT.

      Only downside is, that I will have to play Stephens or Romeu if Shaw is benched.

  24. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Morning DZ. G2G, or anything worth a hit? (0.9 ITB)
    So much for an active bench 🙄

    Foster
    Mendy Robertson Pereira Peltier*
    Mahrez Salah Eriksen
    Aguero Arnautovic Ings

    (Patricio H.Costa AWB** Kenedy**)

  25. Atimis

    Looking good?
    Having my eye on possible BSilva to Miki move in coming weeks.

    Hamer
    Alonso / Mendy / Robo
    Salah / Mane / Richa / BSilva
    Kun / Zaha / Wilson

    Rui / Billing / Peltier / WB

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

      Do it now if you have a FT

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

        Not anymore, could do it for Cardiff game

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Bernardo > Mkhi looks a nice switch. Nice team.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years

        Thanks!

    For the first time in this my 13th season I've actually had a good start to the season. Need to kick on now but I'm sure next week it will be back to the usual million plus gameweek rank sending back again.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Still yet to have a good start...painful one this season

  27. Jayben23
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth going Salah to Mane just yet?

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

      Salah + Mane for BHA

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No.

  28. Letsgo!

    guys do you think selling bsilva to buy ramsey is a good punt?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No.

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Rambo not a safe starter, but potentially more attacking

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        i feel when he came in for 2nd half he look really lively, and ifemery can drop ozil and start ramsey might be a good punt.
