    Kaking myself trying to choose skipper between Kun, Aubameyang and Mane...

    Pros and Cons?

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly the same conundrum here...

      I'm currently on Mané due to home fixture and form.

      1. rodog
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Think I might do the same...Auba would be risky after the Chelsea game but something tells me he's gonna go mental and bag a couple...

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kun - Pep..
      Aub - Ars..
      Mane - covers SALAH..

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mane - has outscored Salah so far 😉

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Salah will come out on top by the end of the season.

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            He might, never said he won't.

            Just stating facts as things stand.

            1. Hanked
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              What conclusion do you draw from that stated fact? genuinely interested.

              1. My Name Is Pepu
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Where have I mentioned that it was meant to draw conclusions?

                1. Hanked
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Ok mate, no worries. Thought we might be able to chat.

                  The sky is blue, have a good day.

                  1. My Name Is Pepu
                    • 9 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    The guy above said that Mane has been covering Salah which is pretty ridiculous.

                    I know people bring up and compare their underlying stats and all but Mane has for a fact outscored him, even it's just so far. And going Mane over Salah has given my team an extra 3.5m to spend elsewhere which is really really handy.

                    1. Hanked
                      • 13 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      Ye, I agree.

                      I don't really agree with 'cover', whether it's in regards to a team or a player, the game is about long term points maximisation rather than worrying about short term variance.

                      However, that's the reason why I like looking at the underlying stats. I like to separate the outcomes from the expected outcomes. Looking at points returns tells us about the past, where as looking at the underlying stats tells us about what we might expect to happen in the future.

                      In this specific case, you get an extra 3.5 to use elsewhere, which needs to be factored in. You can justify not having Salah even if he outscores Mane, assuming that the Mane plus the extra 3.5 generates more points.

                      I'm sticking with Salah for now because I see him as the best captaincy option most weeks but that could change as the season goes on.

          'So far'..

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            That's what I wrote, no?

            1. Shah G
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Its the key word..

                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Thanks Sherlock

                1. super zlatan
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Loool

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kun or mane. I'd side with mane just

    4. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If you base your decisions on stats, you can probably rule out Auba and look at Mane or Kun. Personally, I'd go for Kun.

  2. Pumpkinhead
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    To everyone getting in Ings, are you not worried about his injury history. Dude is made of glass + when he does pick up that knock 5.5 is an awkward price to shift.

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good point...

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This is putting me off I agree with the price thing but he does look the best 3rd striker option and helps spread the funds enough to have a good bench to last until you can get a solution

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed. He looks the best cheap option. I've got Kun, Aguero, Zaha and made my 4th mid my cheaper option. Not sure it will pan out. I do like Ings was a huge fan when he was at Burnley.

        1. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Aren't Kun and Aguero same?

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Kun and Auba*

    3. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No.

      Drop to Kamara and put the 1million+ elsewhere.

      Hopefully he stays injury free

      1. Shineonme
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        ^^ This ^^

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't mean he's gonna spend all his career injured. He's worked hard to come back fit and firing and has looked sharp so far.

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

      Has been fit for a year after two bad injuries.

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He hasn't had any regular game time since coming back. It's easy to come back fit and sit on a bench for a year.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He's played reserve games and preseason. Don't get him if it bothers you so much. A good 5.5m option.

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I'm not bothered by it, simply asking the question. I'll check back with you at the end of the season if you want to play it like that.

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              What are you talking about?

    6. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You could shift to Jimenez.

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        fair

    7. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure he's even nailed. Elyounussi back this weekend.

    8. Runaway
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He seemed to have 2 big injuries in the past and stayed injury free for the last year. I would not call it "made of glass", for that definition see Kompany (4 injuries per year for last 3 years). If I were a real club manager I would be more concerned about his injury record but as an FPL manager I am more concerned about his current form, stats, points, fixture and price. For me, he is ticking all of those boxes at the moment. Besides, he looks very fit and lively on the pitch. On the other hand, when I find a decent 5,5 FWD (or any cheap but good player), I never think about who would I get instead if he is injured.There are always alternatives for any player either by upgrading or downgrading.

  3. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Torreria or Iwobi? Other midfielders are Hazard, Salah, Richarl and Hudson odoi...

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Iwobi

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Iwobi

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      neither.
      torreira is defensive and iwobi is the one you would expect makes way for laca

      kante

    4. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hudson Odoi and Torreria/Iwobi ... wtf ... disgusting.

      Reevaluate

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Iwobi if you have to, but I would pick neither.

    6. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You need a different midfield....

    7. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why on earth do you have Hudson Odoi?

      I like Kante in that price range.

      1. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Kante all day long

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have him too... he played in the community shield and looked like he might get some game time at some point. At 4.5 i thought it was worth a gamble bc I didn't expect him to go down in price. Worst case scenario I get rid whenever I wildcard and have a single non-playing player on my bench

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He was never going to start ahead of Pedro, Morata and Willian with Hazard and Moses lurking around.

          Poor decision and speculation IMO.

  4. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Will we have the HT about the differential of the gw?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They usually post an article

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thanks.It was interesting though to read and get ideas from other users.

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

    D silva nailed?
    Jota our for mkhi or Richarlison?

    1. Hanniballus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No city player i nailed, but one can reason that Silva should have more gametime as KDB is on crutches. Not a bad pick imo.
      I would go Richarlison, but both are good options.

      1. Scout
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        D silva more nailed than b silva?

        1. Hanniballus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Impossible to say. I don't think so, based on Pep's comments about BSilva being awesome and DSilvas playtime should be less than last year. Maybe he is for the period KDB is out, maybe not.

    2. Sulk
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No
      Rich

      1. Scout
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You would go b silva over d silva?

        1. Sulk
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          yes, in the short term.

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Both.... 🙂 any are good

    4. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think he is as secure as you can be as a City midfielder for the foreseeable. good value as well.

      I'd go Rich or Mkhi in that order, would avoid Jota.

  6. beastie
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I have a dilemma. Here is my team

    Foster, Fabianski
    Robbo, Mendy, Shaw, Dunk, Wan-Bissaka
    B.Silva, Salah, Mane, Neves, Kante
    Arnie, Aguero, Mitrovic

    Dunk and Shaw injured, W-B suspended. Do I wildcard and get new defenders? Also thinking of taking out Silva and Neves for Richarliason and Mkhtaryian. This would mean getting cheaper defenders though. Or do i just take the lack of points for one week?

    1. Hanniballus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Shaw might play, atleast wait for presser tomorrow. Insane to WC this team.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, don't wild card. Isn't worth it for a few defenders.

    3. Sulk
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      if you can only field 10 players i think thats fine. But if you have 5/6 players you're not happy with i think you should WC. WC not as precious in the first half of the season IMO

      1. beastie
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers folks. Didn't really want to use WC so early in season but hate the thought of only having 2 playing defenders.

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I like your second option

  7. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Mendy
    Salah Bilva Mane Richarlison
    Aguero Zaha King

    Stek Masuaku Wan-B Tomkins

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    A. Rui Patricio & Tomkins (so I can get another palace player) >> Hennessey & 4.5 Def
    B. Stek >> Hamer (and roll the other FT)
    C. ???

    Thoughts please...

    Thanks....

  8. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which one for GWs 4-8

    A) Hazard and Fraser
    B) Pedro and Mané

    1. Sulk
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Out of those two, A.

      I expect Pedro to be at risk once Hazard is fully back.

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A if Hazard starts this week. If Pedro is benched then that is your answer right there. I'd personally be tempted by Mane and Fraser though.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Am on a wildcard and may well start off with Mane and Fraser with cash for Hazard but don't like planned transfers immediately after a wildcard.

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I think that's a fairly safe bet though. Both Mane and Fraser should score well in next few weeks. This week's fixture is plum for both.

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  9. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, quick question. How do people think West Ham will fare away to Arsenal? Is this the game for Arsenal to finally show some defensive resilience? Currently debating whether to start Fraser or Ings over Arnautovic.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see Arsenal keeping a cleanie, they've looked so out of sorts at the back. That being said I think they'll beat on West Ham. 4-1/ 4-2 something like that.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah me neither. And if West Ham scores chances are it'll be Arnie.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Almost certainly

      2. Sulk
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I agree. No clean sheet but a comfortable win

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same issue here but I am going with Arnie. He is also on pens now.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Also - the way I convice myself is like the AWB example from GW1 - if your 3rd striker or 5th mid or 5th defender do well, you will feel good about your team anyway (+ price rises). But you will kick yourself if Arnie scores and you played Ings instead

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I'll kick myself if Ings scores from my bench as well. I'm kinda hoping BSilva or Kun gets rested for the full 90 so it doesn't matter.

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Unless injured, Bilva will almost certainly play some minutes this gameweek at at the very least

          2. Pras (FPL)
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            In your scenario you will have Bilva dropping in price and needing a transfer out. In my scenario Ings will become a bandwagon having scored 2 in 2.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal will win it imo. Back them to keep a cs too as it's at home,but if they do concede,good chance it's Arnie scoring.

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

      To be honest I would start them all, difficult choice.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Haven't even brought Fraser in yet. I could roll a transfer but fancy his chances of points against Everton and like to have a sem-decent player first on bench in case required.

        I would def start Arnie

    5. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I never understand why people give themselves these selection headaches.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I haven't yet, but planning on it. Just want a stronger bench warmer than Stephens in case needed. Fraser / Ings rotate quite well over their tricky fixtures.

      2. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I never understand people with a non existent bench and still have 3 MCI players

    6. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      3-1 Arsenal

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I've predicted too.

        1. Hanked
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That's whoscored.com's prediction as well. They tend do better than most

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

      Thanks all. Think I'll play Arnie and Fraser.

    8. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If you have Arnie, I'd play him every week. His goals don't neccessarily come against the weaker teams. I'd play him ahead of both of those.

      I'd bench Fraser.

    right guys think im coming down to the final decisons of my WC team g2g??
    ederson, hamer
    alonso, mendy, taa, awb, bennet
    mane, alli,mki,rich,jorgi
    kun, aub, ings

    1. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I don't like TAA, Alli and Jorgi..

    2. Sulk
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i personally dont think aub is worth the money. Id upgrade alli to Salah and downgrade aub to a zaha/arnie.

    3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nicr salahless team

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

      I'm not sure about Alli just yet, Spurs fixtures are quite tough and he can be pretty erratic in his form.

      I think Kante is a better pick than Jorgino, but personally i would either downgrade him to a 4.5 and find some more money from somewhere to upgrade Alli to Hazard, or downgrade Alli and upgrade Jorgino or TAA to Robertson.

  11. Tempestic

    What’s Peltier’s situation? Is he likely to start this gw or has he been dropped?

    1. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Also interested to know this...

    2. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      not nailed

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's unclear. Wales online says decision to drop was tactical. Whether that means he is out of favour completely, or whether it was just for that game remains to be seen. I'm holding out of necessity for now and hoping he makes a reappearance.

      1. Tempestic
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

  12. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Will hazard start this week?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think he will but it's all subjective

    2. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think so, but he will get some game time and is likely to start next week. Although, per above, this is guess work.

    3. clodhopper
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Most probably

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No I think he'll come on last 30th min. Game after that he'll start

    5. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      There is no reason why he won't start. All the other Belgium players are starting. Why would he not start.

  13. HD7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Play Tomkins or start Kamara and hope he goes crazy vs Burnley?

    1. Sulk
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tomkins. He could go crazy and get a CS and goal too....

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        True..

  14. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Please help with my two free transfers, both of which save 1.0.

    A. De Gea + Tomkins to Hennessey + Ricardo Pereira

    B. De Gea + B Silva to Ederson + Mkhi

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Both Bilva and Tomkins are good options.

      Why dont you just do 1 transfer i.e. DDG -> Hennessey

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This would be best case scenario, but I already have three Palace. Would you recommend another keeper at 4.5?

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          None jumps out currently. Maybe Kepa if you fancy Chelsea for next run of easy fixtures.

      2. clodhopper
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  15. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kante or Hughes?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hughes.

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Neither

        1. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This

    2. beastie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kante

  16. Laporte In A Storm
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think of these moves for 4th and 5th mids: Jota + Stephens > Kante + Neves. Would save me 0.8 million but feels a bit stronger to me.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Swap Jota.

  17. BrutalLogiC

    Has the separate thread for rmt died now?

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years

      Ye it was just for preseason I think

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That place was like the upside down world from stranger things.. dark, cold and scary

      Nope

      Nah

  19. Mr Dave
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    WC team gtg?
    Ederson
    Mendy robo Alonso
    Mane Keita mkhi rich fraser
    Auba kun
    Bench- Hamer Schlupp pereira Kamara
    Option to drop Keita to neves/Kante and upgrade Kamara to Zaha/Mitrovic

    1. Jas_sid
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would downgrade Pereira (Lei?) and upgrade Keita

      1. Mr Dave
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Any suggestions for upgrading Keita?

        1. Jas_sid
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I would do it to have some more cover for Mancity (Bilva) or Chel (Pedro)

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Take that option w. Kante/Zaha..

  20. Jas_sid
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Guys need views on this team..comments highly appreciated.

    DDG (Begovic)
    PVA, Mendy, Arnold (Peltier, Kabasele)
    Mkhi, Rich, Moura, Mane (Stephens)
    King, Aguero, Morata

    I still have the standard one free transfer left for the GW. Should I hold or change? Twitchy fingers thinking of what to do especially with Moura and King?

    1. Mr Dave
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How much in bank? King to Zaha possible?

      1. Jas_sid
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        3.4 in the bank (I know)

    2. beastie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep Moura, get rid of King. Maybe Ings?

      1. Jas_sid
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes leaning towards getting rid of King esp fearing more price drop may be around the corner next week. Ings and Mitro two choices right now or upgrade it to Firmino with no form and may be rotated for Sturridge or Shaq soon

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do not get rid of King for ings. King will come good. He'll out score ings over the next 5 games for sure.

  21. InVinoVeritas1
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    GTG?
    Used WC this week despite strong start
    Ederson
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    Salah Mane Mkhi Richarlison Pedro
    Aguero Ings
    Bench - Hamer, Kamara, AWB, Bennett

    Bench is weak but looking at the fixtures, the team picks itself for a month straight

    1. beastie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Unless you get injuries, suspensions then you've 'wasted' a WC.

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would make use of smaller team's good fixtures for CSs i.e. Palace..

    3. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I disagree with Beastie.

      If you think it was the right time to use it then it's not a waste.

      Good luck.

    4. InVinoVeritas1
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Took Shah's advice on Palace so team is now
      Ederson
      Mendy Robo Alonso
      Salah Mane Richarlison Pedro
      Aguero Zaha Ings

      Bench - Hamer, Guendouzi, AWB, Bennett

  22. A.T
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who do you think is the best 4.5 goalkeeper to play every week (for a while) and why?

    1. beastie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hennesey. Good fixtures defensively

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Hennessey as Palace look quite good and fixtures are also favorable

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

  23. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pick 2 from:
    Hazard
    Mane
    Salah

    1. beastie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah and Mane

      1. KickIt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This, for at least another week.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard still wait and see for me so probably those Pool guys

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The two who have been starting games....

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah mane

  24. Just a fountain
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rumour of Alonso to Madrid is annoying.

    1. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cant see that happening.

    2. clodhopper
      • 12 Years

      Nah

  26. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Is there any point in switching Firmino to Auba this week?

    Home to Brighton, I don't think there is, but am I right?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No don't do it.

  27. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    The most essential players are Hazard Salah Aguero Mendy and Trippier. They will score the most points season imo.

    1. Joyce1998

    2. runupstream
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mikhi and Wilson, but all 4 are viable options

    3. fantasyfog

      Pedro and mitro
