Captains

Vote in the Captain Poll for Gameweek 3

The Captain Poll is now open for votes ahead of Gameweek 3 and you can watch our video on the best candidates for the armband below or on our YouTube channel.

The early favourite is, not surprisingly, Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who faces a very appealing home match against a Brighton side, who are notoriously poor on the road.

The Seagulls shipped nine goals in two league matches against Liverpool in 2017/18, four of them at Anfield in Gameweek 38. The Egyptian netted in that match and provided the assist for Dominic Solanke’s (£5.0m) 53rd minute goal too.

His case is, of course, strengthened by being Liverpool’s biggest goal threat against Crystal Palace on Monday night, even if he only managed two assists in the end.

Sadio Mané (£9.8m), owned by 31 percent, should prove a strong alternative candidate bearing in mind he is a must-have option for the 45 percent of Fantasy managers who do not own Salah, and remains ahead of him for both goal tally and FPL total score.

Either way, Liverpool assets are expected to dominate the captaincy debate this week considering that West Ham were the only top flight side to survive relegation in 2017/18 with more shots conceded on the road than Brighton.

Sergio Aguero‘s (£11.1m) hat-trick against Huddersfield on Sunday will naturally give him some backing for the captaincy this week, as Manchester City prepare to travel to the Molineux.

Wolves may have allowed fewer shots on their goal than any other side so far, but the fact that have still conceded four goals in two matches suggests there are areas to exploit for the reigning champions.

Aguero might be at slightly more risk of rotation this weekend but we will, as per usual, wait and see what emerges in the press conferences later this week.

After four assists in just two matches, the highly-owned Benjamin Mendy (£6.1m) is an option for a second week running. In fact, he finished third in the poll behind just Aguero and Salah for Gameweek 2.

After West Ham’s performance at Anfield in Gameweek 1 and a defeat at home to Bournemouth in Gameweek 3, Arsenal assets might also be worth looking at. The favourites there are expected to be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur’s meeting at Old Trafford reduces the appeal of a few usual suspects, namely Paul Pogba (£8.1m), Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) and Alexis Sánchez (£10.5m) for the Red Devils and Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Christian Eriksen (£9.5m) from the north London outfit.

    Best GW3 4,5M defender? Steve Cook?
    Wanna do Bavies --> 4,5 in order to upgrade Shaw to Mendy GW4.

    Or is now the time to downgrade Arnie, to free up some funds?

    Very happy with my 89 + 96 start to the season, but having no Mendy is worrying.

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

      Just do Bavies to Mendy.

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

        No can do. Bavies is 6,0 and Mendy is 6,2. No money ITB.

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

          Downgrading Arnie makes sense. Not a fan of owning him.

  2. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Robertson, Mendy, Tomkins
    Salah, Richarlison, Pedro, Mahrez
    Aguero, Auba, Kamara

    Fabianski, Cairney, Bednarek, AWB*

    1FT, 0 ITB

    Mahrez > B Silva
    Kamara > Ings? (-4)

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I'd make those moves. Mahrez and Kamara might not start.

      1. AFC49
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Or Mahrez to D Silva, Cairney to Fraser

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

          Do this^

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      It isn't the worst use of a hit.

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

    A. Cairney > Maddison (for a hit)

    B. Do nothing and swallow the price drop

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

      B. Do that next week if you still fancy the move.

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

      I'm doing B.

      Hit the post last game... could do something vs Burnley. Don't think it's worth a hit.

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B. And he won't drop tonight.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He won't drop.

    5. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I wont sell if you dont sell.

    6. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not so sure he will drop
      I think I'm going to start him this week, considering him or Shaw

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

    is King worth one more chance versus Everton?

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

      Potentially. It depends on other issues/number of transfers etc.

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      yea why not

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      you may as well now his price has dropped. he does well against everton apparently

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

        this

    4. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Bou and Everton both attacking and shaky at the back right now.

  5. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Is there going to be any special tournaments or cup on FFS this year?

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

      There is but unfortunately Mark has asked me not to tell you the code.

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Those losing faith in Firmino already. Ehm, stop.

    He passed to Salah before he was brought down for the penalty. He also passed to Salah before he was brought down for the red card. Could've been 2 assists.

    No reason to sell before Brighton. Sell if he blanks again, because their fixtures turn anyway.

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

      It definitely isn't the time to sell. Next week however....

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I'd definitely keep him for Brighton.

    3. Shteve
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He was poor last night but I agree, it wouldn't make sense to sell him before Brighton.

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This Brighton game is what I was aiming for with the triple pool before GW1. Never crossed my mind to take off Bobby before that game.
      However, if he again fails to play well enough, might just downgrade to another striker.

    5. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Even if Firmino scores 5 against Brighton I'm selling him after that. But yeah, obviously it's stupid to transfer him out before Brighton at home.

    6. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      yeah think I'm holding - need to decide whether I want Lacazette, Auba, or Zaha/Ings instead - means no Mendy yet though...

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

        Yeah I'm looking at the same options. You should definitely prioritize Mendy first though, imo.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          completely agree, means taking a hit and getting rid of Arnie or Bilva though - not sure I want to get rid of either of those just yet

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

      Agreed, I don't even own him but it seems ridiculous people are getting rid.

      Yes he looked a bit poor at times last night but I guarantee he will light up soon.

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

    Lacazette... keep or sell (for a hit)?

    Potential replacements are Morata and Zaha.

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

      Is this a joke?

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

        Nope 🙁

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

          Step away from the panic button. i.e. Keep.

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

            Yeah, that's what I'm thinking - no panic here! Just wasn't sure if we're expecting him to start... starting now.

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

              Definitely wait and see with Morata and Zaha is not worth a hit. One more week will make things a lot clearer.

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

                Cheers.

    2. EspanYOLO
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely not for a hit and especially not for Morata yet.

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

    I didn't have a chance to watch the match last night, how did Firmino look ? Frustrated owner here.

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't play well

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Bit unfair. Klopp's new tactic is to have Bobby play deeper and do more of the dirty work. Good for the team, not good for FPL.

        1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think TLF cares how he 'played' for the team. FPL wise he was not good for all the reasons you listed.

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I had thought with Keita in the midfield, he wouldnt need to drop deep for the ball, but that hasnt been the case, has it?

        3. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          this, his contribution to the team is excellent. Just seems a lot deeper than last year, bad news as an FPL asset.

          1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Who cares re: playing well for the team - it's about fantasy points. His contribution has been 0.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      poor apparently. home to brighton next. would be crazy to drop now.

    3. EspanYOLO
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He didn't look as sharp as Mane but neither did Salah really. I would keep for another week.

  9. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which looks better in your opinion and why?

    A) Schmeichel Alonso Mhki Fraser + 0.5
    B) Kepa Mee Mane Kante

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        B is what I have currently. May become A on wildcard in the coming weeks (or perhaps next week), wanted to gather thoughts.

        Losing Mane is the big issue

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mane is enticing, but A is what I'd go for.

    3. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      a

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting... as above, B is my current team. Selling Mane is the issue, but could be done after next week for example to fund the other moves. Have Salah and Robbo

    4. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I really dont like your grav. Can you change it?

  10. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Now have triple CHE on my WC! Hope it will be Sarriball and not sorryball from the blues!
    8 of their next 10 fixtures are great with their games v LIV & MUN at Stamford bridge!
    Think it might be wise to get on the pensioner's train early 🙂

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

      Hazard + Defender is plenty for me.

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

        Thinking Alonso + Hazard with Kante as first sub over Hughes as Watford's fixtures are turning quite nasty!

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

          Not a bad combo. I am not sold on Kante myself.

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

            Have you watched the CHE games, he has been really getting into a lot of advanced positions, like a new player under Sarri with Jorginho main DM. Not expecting him to pull up trees but a nice 5th mid I reckon.

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

              But he doesn't shoot well. I prefer to keep Fraser myself.

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

                Certainly a fact that haha, Fraser is currently my 4th mid btw been really impressed with him thus far!

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Alonso, Pedro, Hazard?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        HAK

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

          Can you also fit Auba and Kun?

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

            Yeah Salahless but have Auba, Kun, Mane, Mendy & Robertson

            1. GOTHAM City F.C.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Super

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                ...and Ederson in goal, so dbl City defence will see how that goes! Cheers!

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea and Arsenal both have great fixtures. I would be looking to bring lots of players from both teams if I was on a WC. Which Chelsea assets did you go for? Alonso, Pedro and Kepa?

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

        Alonso, Hazard and Kante

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Looking good! Good luck!

              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Triple blues myself. Already triple City and triple Pool so with less cash to spunk I got Alonso, Pedro and Kante.

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

                Cool, yeah I'm triple CHE & triple City but double Pool.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years

                  Very much the anti-'coverage' eggs-in-baskets philosopher, me.

                • 11 Years

                With those 9 still cash for Trippier and Richardson too!

                  similar with my 8, I also have Auba, Richarlison & Fraser. GL mate 🙂

    Decided I'm gonna roll my transfer this week. Next week unless someone important gets injured, I'm gonna do Salah + Cairney > Hazard + Miki.

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

      Brave. It could pay off.

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

        If it all goes to hell, I can just WC Salah back in.

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

          Very true.

        2. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Why drop Salah before Leicester away when it's unlikely Hazard will play 90mins

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

            He will play 90 if his recovery goes as planned. I believe it's 60-70mins in the next game and then then full 90 the one after. BOU is a much better fixture than lei.

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

            what makes you think he won't play 90 mins? He's come off bench twice already and looked good last game - would expect him to start this week and almost certainly start the week after.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Gutsy move. Chelsea and Arsenal are the teams I'd stack up on in the coming weeks, so can see why you'd go down that road.

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      And no fodder in mid? 352 or 451?

          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Ok fair enough

    4. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think Salah is fixture proof

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

        Yes he is. Not saying he isn't a good pick. Just that starting GW 4. Hazard + Mkhi will outscore Salah + 5.0mid.

  12. le flem
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sell Firmino? Seems to be playing more as a midfielder behind Salah and Mane. Would probably have to take a hit to get Aub though.

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

      dont sell for a hit but if i owned him, i'd be looking to get 2 FT to make the change

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

      After Brighton yeah.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe next week.

    4. King Sheep
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Don't have him but I'd keep, seems to me he WILL get goals sooner or later and one of those transfers where you take him out and he scores/explodes. Stick IMO.

  13. Salah'd n Sauce
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I'm not a big RMT fan... I'm posting it below to see if anyone sees gaping wounds in it.
    I'm coasting happily at 185 points so far so no major surgery needed. 1FT and 0.4ITB

    Ederson (Sper)
    Robbo Luiz Tomkins (kabasele Tark)
    Salah Mane Richarlison Milivojevic (Cairney)
    Kun Arnie Wilson

    Only thing that keeps niggling at me is Milivojevic.
    I keep thinking his 6.5 could be better used. Pedro a possibility but can't help think he is almost over-achieving a bit.

    Any thoughts.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I’d want Mendy and/or some arsenal attack in, like mhki

      1. Salah'd n Sauce
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. I'm going to take my medicine on Mendy for now and go without.
        I'm at peace with not having everyone I want.
        If/When I WC he'll be in there. Unless I free up funds somehow.

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

          Sorry but that is the definition of NOT taking your medicine...?

          1. Salah'd n Sauce
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            No it isn't.
            To take my medicine - by definition means to take the punishment for something.
            In this case the punishment is potential loss of points by not having him.
            So, I'm going to take my medicine by choosing not to have him in my team.

            In fairness it was a crap analogy or phrasing to use anyway. 🙂

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

              Sorry but I digress - By taking your medicine you WOULD be getting Mendy in whilst recognising that is was your mistake not to have him in the first place... Punishment being that he is more expensive and you have lost some of his points - why medicine doesn't taste nice...

              I for example never took my medicine on the golf course - finding the trees off the tee and instead of taking my medicine and chipping out into the fairway, going for the spectacular recovery shot that never came off!

              Sorry to be a bore!

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser if you want to downgrade. Personally think Pedro looks pretty good, not a bad pick. Seems to fit Sarri's system well.

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Milo to Madison?

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Get Mendy. Any team without Mendy now should make that the priority.

      1. Salah'd n Sauce
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe I should save the FT then and do 2 next week to get him in without any damage.

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

        This. Totally realistic for Mendy to hit 10 PPG over City's good run for the next few gameweeks - a clean sheet and that's all he needs is an assist and with every game played, the more they will gel and increase chance of any attacking returns. For every 5 goals scored by City, I'd be surprised if Mendy wasn't involved in two of those.

  14. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Am I the only one saving my transfer this week?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      possibly

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

      Plenty here saved theirs last week I think - burning holes in pockets now!

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        You make it sound like a bad thing

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

          Not at all, I did the same - and made my moves already 😆

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

      Me too but I had 2FTs, using only 1

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

        That makes sense. I had a KDB sized problem last week.

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I used my two free transfers on Coleman & King (+£0.5m) to Alonso and Wilson.
      I'll start saving up again next week.

  15. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Bournemouth v Everton 16 goals in the last 4 games between them.

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

      Wilson hatty

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        King*

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

          That's usually what happens after I sell a player, King hattrick confirmed.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Long live the King, I kept for now.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Stil remember that 3-3 draw between em with that late,late Stanislas equaliser. Scenes.

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      guess i'll keep king, missed the price decrease so no harm

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

      With 4 attacking player in that game, I hope they add another 8 to the tally 😛

  16. mazkills
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Take a -4?

    Ederson
    Daniels/Mendy/Robertson
    Salah/Richarlison/Jota**/Cairney**
    Auba/Aguero/King**

    Just used 2 ft's for Mahrez>Richarlison & Patricio > Ederson, was hoping I could play AWB in the back in place of Jota this GW.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Only if you can upgrade Jota to someone like Mkhi

  17. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Bilva or Dilva?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      David.

    2. King Sheep
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Don't have either but I'd said before this GW that Dilva was the main man, first name on the teamsheet especially with KDB out, I cant afford him but would love to have him in my team.

  18. Whits
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Bernardo Silva to Mkhitarian? Yes or no? (I have Mendy and Kun)

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

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

      Would do that for free, yeah

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Would only do if I had 2FT probably

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

      That move is a downgrade in my opinion.

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No.

      We bought Bilva for a reason. He also has great fixtures. Arguably better ones even over the next 3. If he scores that toe poke at the weekend nobody would be making this move.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        No - Mkhitaryan isnt more nailed than B Silva and plays for a team which will score less goals.

        1. King Sheep
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I've gambled on Mikhi, don't have Bilva but understand he could be gold this year at that price, time will tell if I've missed a bandwagon ... I'm spending the extra 0.5 in defence ...

    6. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.
      Although Silva plays for better team with great fixtures he is not as offensive as we could think. Plays deeper or as with Huddersfild on RWB
      Miki though inspite of 2 really hard fixtures is the most creative player in PL now. Plus more shots than B.ilva.

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

      No

  19. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Just got my tickets for Fulham vs Burnley on Sunday, I am a UTD fan but its bank holiday and fancied a bit of footie.

    Area P2 if you are in there give me a shout.

    Might have to do King --> Mitrovic to have something to shout for haha!

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Defo, looks a good move anyway!

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

      Would be weird someone shouting lolarov in public 😛

  20. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Team on -4

    Any changes needed ?

    Ederson
    Pva Mendy Vvd
    Salah Mane Rich Mkhi
    Zaha Aguero Mitrovic

    Hamer Peltier Awb hudson odoi

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Na mate, you’re good to go!

      1. Totalfootball

        Thanks !

  21. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    How's this lineup looking? Would be for a -8, flirting with a 4-4-2.

    Hamer
    Robertson, Mendy, Alonso, PVA
    Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Maddison
    Aguero, Zaha

    Patricio, Cariney, Kamara, AWB

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

      Very good

  22. semiconductor
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sorry for the boring question. Play hamer or hennessey this week?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hennessey.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Henn

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hamer

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm starting Hamer for this one GW only, but I rather feel he'll be dropped for Lossl anyway.

  23. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Any word on the severity of Danny Ward’s (Cardiff) injury?

  24. Zoostation
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Advice would be appreciated:

    A: Pedro, Fraser, Ings, Aubameyang, Robertson

    B: Hazard, Mkhitaryan, Zaha, TAA

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

      Sorry,

      Ings in B as well

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

      A

  25. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    anyone else considering a Triple Captain this weekend? Salah? Last year's Kane TC fail makes me feel like early in the season with little to no rotation risk against teams who aren't yet under pressure to perform could work out safer/better... thoughts?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Still on DGW, It can't always fail

    2. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm an awful hoarder of chips. Haven't went early on a TC and defo not on a single GW.
      But fortune favours the brave - or something like that

      1. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        yeh I hoarded all of mine till final gameweeks last season and built my entire teams around double GWs, only for that to end up completely ruining me. Think this season my one takeaway is balance, all eggs in one basket doesn't usually end pay off.

        1. Salah'd n Sauce
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah it is a total sucker punch.Last season was a nightmare with players getting rested etc in the final run in.
          Killed off a lot of what i was banking on too.
          WorldCup may have played a part in that too.
          I'm still going to be cautious.
          TC last week on Aguero would have seen me just outside the top 1000

  26. Would an idiot do that?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    TAA + Bilva > Robertson + Walcott (-4) ?

    Would obviously like to wait a week but Robertson price rise is imminent.

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No way, not a good move

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      not for a minus 4, better options than walcott. Do you already have Richarlison?

      1. Would an idiot do that?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i have Richarlison. Think im being blinded by the Robertson price rise lol

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This looks like a downgrade

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

      I wouldn`t make this for +4 🙂

  27. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I plan to ditch BSilva to Mhiki to cover Arsenal and while city look great, i'm not convinced bernardo will be involved in too many goals and assists.

    With city run I still feel 3 x players is essential. I have Kun and Mendy. Out of of interest, who is everyone next choice of city player?

    Personally, leaning towards Ederson

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think Kun and Mendy are enough for now as the others are not nailed, if Sterling/Mahrez/Sane hit form, then we can consider one of them

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

        thanks, i've got 2 FT burning a hole in my pocket. Guess i'll just do one

        1. Robson-Canoe
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Lucky you, I had 2 FT's as well and will probably end up with a -8

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The point that you don't know which 3rd City player to pick voids the argument about a 3rd player being essential.

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

        good point well made

        1. King Sheep
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          David Silva will play every week barring injury IMO but I cant afford him. 🙁

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

            He will miss many away games imo. Just do not press as much as Bernardo.

  28. GianniBanani
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which one?
    A Ederson/4.0 + Zaha + Ings
    B Ederson/4.0 + Wilson + Mitrovic
    C 4.5/4.5 + Zaha + Wilson

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

      Have to add that i have Mendy

    2. mazkills
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A

  29. davies
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    If on WC, Arnie or Zaha?

    Would likely get Zaha in 2 weeks if I choose Arnie

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

      easily zaha

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha with those fixtures

  30. mazkills
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Jota>Pedro for -4? Pedro getting benched with Hazard return?

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

      not for a hit

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I don't like that move. Especially for a hit.

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Don't do it
