Fantasy managers will be heavily reliant on the exploits of their Liverpool assets after a tough start to Gameweek 3.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), the most captained player of the weekend, will be the key focal point while Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) should make a difference too.

Salah himself has 54 percent ownership while the other members of his front three are both backed by more than 30 percent.

There will also be hopes for another Liverpool clean sheet with Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m) in 19, 18 and 16 percent of squads, respectively.

Liverpool are unchanged for a third Premier League match in succession, great news for Fantasy managers currently tripled-up on Jurgen Klopp’s extremely settled side.

Meanwhile, Pascal Groß (£6.9m) was named on the bench as Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) comes into the line-up to play just behind Glenn Murray (£6.5m)

There was one change in defence with Leon Balogun (£4.5m) coming in for Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

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

BRIGHTON XI (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bong, Balogun, Duffy, Montoya; March, Propper, Stephens, Knockaert; Bissouma; Murray

    Couldn’t watch games today:

    1) how many bans for Richarlison?
    2) did Arnie injury look seriously?

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

      Probably 2 for PL
      Arnie think he should be ok.

      1. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Looked like he jarred his knee by striking ground on a strong SOG. I may be wrong..

    2. Gilbo88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Headbutt so 3 games. And I think Arnie was a knee injury but unsure how serious

    3. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1 ban
      Yes

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

      3 match
      Yes

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

    Firmino for his first haul of the season. Incoming.

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

      Id take that.

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

        Waited for him and King for sooo long. King has delivered, he is next.

  3. Rainer

    Time to end some FPL seasons, Salah!

      Pedro

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Walcott

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

        Should have done this in the first place 🙁

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison

    4. AlCapwnUK
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kante

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

      I was considering Gross for a moment, but benched against Pool? 😕

      Bernardo if I can find some extra cash.

      Maddison? Or perhaps Jota back after selling last week?

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

        Cairney, Boly and AWB to cover. But I can imagine losing a lot of value over the international break, so looking to get rid.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          gross will only be benched this once. Brighton concded 9 last year to pool and about 20 over the last two seasons, they had to change something

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That was my first though, but TOT/mci coming up.

      3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        see how Chelsea do, could hold and play double palace defence

      4. Jack Sparrow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        All of the above terrible. Move money about.

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

        Hazard

      6. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just play him.

      7. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        De Gea -> 4.5 Richarlison -> hazard for a hit

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Computer says no

      8. lugs
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Walcott for his nice fixtures , bank his inevitable price rise , then buy Rich back at a cheaper price when he returns 🙂

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

          This.

      10. thunder_mike
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wally I think, good fixtures, in form, will play.

      11. TooDifficuIt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro or maybe Siggy and help me get that 0.1 back

    7. AlCapwnUK
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What's mitrovic ownership in top 10k like? Fancy him to at least beat my current high scoring 2 pointer players

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'm hoping for a brace! Tired Burnley players hopefully.

        Actually, I need a 7 goal thriller. Have Mitro and Gudmnundson still to go

      2. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 9 Years

          what?

    10. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Was the red card for Richarlison deserved?
      And, for how long will he be banned?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No

        3 games

      2. Jack Sparrow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, anyone who says no is an idiot who doesn't know the rules.

          I just can't believe how long it takes for some people to understand or simple concepts to sink in..

      3. AlCapwnUK

        Yep, 3 games

          Yes, two delicious home games.

          1. Jack Frost
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yes, a clear, "violent" childish move..a head butt.. probably didn't leave a mark but intent seems to be the key.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        The way this GW is going, I’d say that’s about right. Duffy with his first in 2 seasons!

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Duffy scored last week didn't he?

    12. #FPLBhuna

      11 from 7 post baps on a wc

      1. banskt

        Easy to say, difficult to cheer up mate.

    13. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      God, I'm not a religious man but if you're there can you please do me a couple of very small favours?
      A Salah blank and a BHA goal.
      Cheers!

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        There was some guy earlier promising to go back to God if Salah scored so you're putting the big guy in a real tough spot.

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, interesting to see who he favours so! I've been a good guy though so expecting him to deliver 😉

      How bad was the Arnautovic injury?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Muscular. Will be out

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

          It didn't look like a muscular injury when he did a full on sprint between the two times he sat down.

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Just going off what the commentators on radio said

      2. Gringo Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Who do you prefer more

        A)Pedro
        B)Walcott

      3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He tried to play on and didn't appear to receive treatment so I don't think it's bad but obviously will need a check.

      How are Liverpool unchanged if Henderson is starting

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        He’s not.

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

          Your line up has Henderson starting

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

            I’ve flagged it, thanks for spotting.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Because Hendo isn't starting.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Oh, in the article. They try to match the Guardian with their team news here 😉

      Actually took a hit to bring Richarlison in this week.

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

        That makes it 2. Everyone has him so shouldnt have a huge effect.

      2. Jack Sparrow

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        On paper it’s a solid move as captain hindsight will tell you shouldn’t of made the move

      6. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

    17. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      King and Boly out for Alonso and Ings... Typical

    18. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It would sum fpl up beautifully if king and firmino, the two players I said were playing for their places in my team this gw, were the only two in my team to get any sort of return

    19. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I suppose 18 puts not bad considering how things have went 2day. Just brought Rich in so gonna have to bench aren't I??

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

        18 pts

      2. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Well done on that number 1 spot for this gw

      3. Own Goal
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You are seriously considering benching a player whom won't play until September 29th?
        How much value do you think you'll lose on him, with all those wildcards flying around?

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

          Wildcards don't contribute to price drops. Wan Bisako is very capable of covering Richarlison's place for the next 3 games until he returns, thus saving 1, maybe 2 transfers if you end up wanting him back. Could be a shred move. Can't see him dropping below 6.5m before he returns either

    20. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Brighton one of the worst teams I've ever seen play away in the Premier League. Cue 1-1. Hendo and Murray

    21. Tinydancer
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane Salah VVD ... Save me

      1. bitars

        This!

    22. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rich ----> Fraser & Cedric ----> PVA (-4)

      Thoughts?

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        if you want to take a hit that's a decent idea

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

        Watch the remaining games first.

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Well yeah obviously 😆

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

            Fraser has Chelsea next.

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Dont see many better options at his price though

              1. Pieterke30
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Gray?
                Nice fixtures.

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

        i wouldn't for a hit

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Cedric will drop and continue to stink out my team if I dont

          1. thunder_mike
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I think it is worth it PVA has great fixtures, potential attacking returns too

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

            ok, I never take hits with price drops in mind, but if you believe it is beneficial go for it. PVA definitely a great pick

      4. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

    25. Richarlison Replacements
      Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      So the question on many manager’s minds today: who to replace richarlison with?

      Here’s 5 possibilities:

      1. Mkhitaryan- need to find a bit of money to upgrade, but excellent fixtures, in an attacking team, and has showed good form already this season. Slight risk of rotation though in a front line that is yet to settle.

      2. Pedro - two goals already, and in a strong attacking side with some excellent games coming up. Slight doubt over his place when Hazard returns to the starting xi.

      3. Maddison - brilliant record last season, and looks to be a key playmaker for Leicester. Will be missing vardy for the next two games though, which may hamper Leicester’s overall attack.

      4. Fraser - seems more nailed in the Bournemouth starting xi, and has started the season strongly. Always a risk that points get shared around in that Bournemouth attack.

      5. Walcott - in excellent form, and will take on even more responsibility in Evertons attack in the absence of richarlison. But has let us down so often in the past - can he be trusted?

      That’s my top five - any other good options out there?

      1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        wally or fraser

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

        Walcott. Easy decision. Great fixtures and on form.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years

          Actually , this.

      3. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        1 is the best if you can afford him

      4. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Probably Pedro for me, but also interesting in Maddison and Walcott to

      5. lugs

        i already have 3 of those 😆

      6. 404_FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wally for me

      7. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        6. Sessegnon - Fulham looks a decent side offensively as well. He's only 6.4 atm. Looks nailed on and already had an attacking return.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Mitrovic is enough

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            For people who doesn't own Mitrovich, he could be an option.

            Not saying he's the best, but shouldn't be ignored completely.

        2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This is a decent shout. Quite a few - but not all of course - of those going for Wally seem like the same names I saw who all rushed for Richarlison this week and Aguero. Always points chasing.

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah he has passed the eye test at least - haven't really gotten into looking deeply at his stats.

            Yep, but I also think the volatile transfer market has it's effects. There seems to be many more changes this year.

            Who are you leaning towards atm?

          2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Agree on the shout (plus, FUL still to play GW3)!
            Also agree that prices have been Off The Chain Volatile so far!

          3. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Disagree. Had Aguero and Rich from the start.

            I want to have an EVE attacker for their next two fixtures. Would have kept Rich but he got sent off. So... Walcott makes sense and it’s not chasing points.

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

          I like the idea of it, but look his next 2 fixtures. Brighton away and Man City away. Don't fancy those at all and I don't think it pays to plan too far ahead in fpl, as in buying now for gwk 6.

        I was looking at B Silva to Walcott either this week or next, so Rich to Walcott looks like the obvious switch.

      11. Pep says

        Aaron Wan-Bissaka off your bench is the best option.

          Love the Milner Shout!

          Problem is taking up a Liverpool Slot!? Almost think a double up on defense looks like the best option to compare with Salah/Mane...

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I was going to suggest Milner as well. At 5.5, could be an absolute bargain if he keeps getting minutes. But yeah the issue is the Liverpool slots, most people have 2 or 3 already and Milner would only complicate things if you want to get Mane/Salah/etc.

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

        Mane + Rich -> Haz + Fraser for me

        Need to see Haz first tomorrow though. Otherwise Pedro for Rich

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

          Liking that switch...that’s my plan but maybe with Walcott instead of Fraser as I still have King.....does depend on Arnie fitness though!

      18. lugs
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        i might switch from a 352 to a 343 by swapping Rich to Leicesters Mendy (4,5) , then Ings who is only my first sub anyway to Zaha for a - 4 , that will then give me a Auba-Aguero-Zaha frontline leaving me 1.0 itb 🙂

      19. ENEMY

      23. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mkhi and Fraser owner.

        1m in the bank means it could be Bilva... but he seems to have gone right off the boil.

        Maddison might be the one for me.

        Walcott is nothing but a troll.

        Pedro - I really question his game time once Hazard is truly back in the fold.

        Lots of thinking to be done this week. Eyes on price changes.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't say right off the boil. He could easily have had an assist this GW if the team weren't so lacklustre/unlucky/bad day.

          Maddison is interesting, but not sure if I trust Leiceister offensivey without Vardy tbh.

          Walcott is a troll, but he could still do a decent job. Currently leaning towards him, but we have all just been burned so many times before.

          Pedro is the option in this price bracket I think has the highest ceiling, but the game time is a big worry for me as well. Even if he starts, he's likely to be subbed for Willian I'm guessing.

        2. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Bilva has not gone off the boil at all.

        Kanté an option at all?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not for me. I don't think his output will match any of the better options at a slightly higher price. Of course it depends on what you use the extra cash on, but I'm not going for Kante myself.

        I have the $ for Mkhi, but..Mili(CRY) looks goooood..?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Nah I think Mili is a trap to be honest.
          Would prefer Mkhi or another of the cheaper options

      27. C-Dawgg
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I made vow to never get Walcott again (he and I have a long FF history)

        If my team wasn't in such a state I'd actually just hold.

        I like Pedro but only if he starts with Hazard

        Pogba could be a slightly left field shout.

        Or a formation change for one of our lovely premium defense options.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Haha most of us has some history with Feo I think, but sounds like you are adamant not going there.
          Pogba could be a shout. Decent fixtures and I think people are overreacting a bit in saying they will avoid all and any ManU options. Can’t afford myself though, but would definitely consider him if I could.
          Re: Pedro. Very good form and he seems to be favored over William. I am just very nervous he will be either be benched or be subbed on 60-70 mins every match. Is this a risk you are willing to take?

          1. C-Dawgg
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I think we need to see tomorrow's game to be sure, I'm actually leaning towards bringing in Alonso and playing 4-4-2 but a full 90 from Pedro could change my mind.

            Pogba would possibly be my preference but like you I'm not sure how I'd bring him in.

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Do you have 2 FTs? Then I think a 4-4-2 with Alonso could definitely work.

              1. C-Dawgg
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Unfortunately it would be a -4 which is frustrating.

                I think I'm gonna have to hold off making a move until we get an update on the Arnie injury anyway... He would be the second striker in my 4-4-2

                1. Licious Lizard
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Yeah if you are sure, you're not going for Theo anyway, you can might as well hold on.

                  FWIW I don't think Arnie's injury looked very serious, as he tried to play on for a little bit. Hopefully he'll be back next week, but let's wait for news.

                  1. C-Dawgg
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    Ah thanks man, I didn't see it at all so that's really helpful.

                    I got Richarl from the start so I have some time to wait.

                    Looks like I'll be doing nothing for now then!

      28. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So I’m going to try to reboot this HT.
        How do you think it will affect Walcott playing without Rich.
        Will he have a bigger part to play in their attacking play?
        Will their attack suffer from the Lack of Rich’s runs?
        Or will Bernard step in and business as usual?

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

          Gut says Wally will have returns, but have been burnt a few times before so hesistant to pull the trigger.

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I at least think he is one of the "safest" bets of the replacements. Pedro higher ceiling, but not nailed. Mkhi with those fixtures as well looks good - but then again 1m more.
            Maddison... eh?

            Not a lot of talk about Sessegnon at all. He could be a fun punt for 2 weeks, but haven't REALLY looked into him.

            1. Citizenkane91
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I've seen both of Fulham's games. Sessegnon has impressed me more than Mitrovic. In fact, I think he's a potential FPL jewel, who should have had more returns than he's got. His positioning was ahead of Mitrovic in GW 2.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Glad to hear I’m not the only one eyeing him up.
                Are you going for him?

      29. FPL Alaska
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        A) Rich > Wally
        B) Rich > Mkhi
        C) Rich & B.Silva > D.Silva & Fraser (-4)

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          For me C is a bit too sideways at least, but then again I'm not convinced D.Silva is 100% nailed.

          Do you have a plan for the extra 1m if you go for Wally over Mkhi?

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

            I will only have 0.6 left ITB if I go Wally over Mkhi, no immediate transfers it would allow at this time.

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              But you would have 1.7 if you went for Wally. Worth considering what would splash the cash on.

          2. FPL Alaska
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            And hear you there about D.Silva, just wondering about the time to get Bernardo out, maybe will give him one more week.

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah I thought about it as well, but I think he will play most - if not all - matches. And with those fixtures, he's bound to get something. He's been a bit withdrawn and a bit unlucky. I'm giving it a week or two as well.

        Pedro or Walcott, will make my decision after Chelsea game

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It looks like Walcott is rising tonight though.
          Depends on if you value .1m or more information. Waiting is probably the wisest move

      32. Goonermeister
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pascal Gross going under the radar

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not considering him before GW 8 tbh.
          They won't be playing united every week

      33. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I had two FT and no other concerns with my team. I banked the 0.1 I made on Richarlison's rise and went to Walcott. Good fixtures, good form and I already had Mkhi. I'm not dead set on swapping back once he returns, but I'll consider it.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          This is actually a bit of what I'm personally scared of. Forgetting the plan to swap back and potentially carry on a few more weeks with a bad pick, because it's too sideways...

          But yeah with 2 Its, you have a bit more security than the 1 FT plebs

      34. Millennium Barn Dance
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Got stung by Walcott before but he was like 9 million quid then...

        6.5 seems like a bit of a bargain now that he's much more sure to start

      35. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        6. Jota
        (Think it’s def too soon! but a Reverse-Bandwagon of last week would be so awesome if it worked..lol)
        7. Downgrade to a 5mil-ish MID
        (Neves, Kante, Kennedy, etc.)

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          No option stands out, which, from experience, suggests it will all end in frustrated tears. I say hold Richarlison and play your fourth defender. Maddison otherwise is the best option.

          1. HNI
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            People with Bsilva will need Rich replacement as he dint have a good game and can be benched

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Did you watch the game!? He played well!

      36. osceola31909
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I might just hold and play Neves the next two matches.

      37. BbBb
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I considered Rambo, looked pretty good today... but went for the safe pick and snapped up Walcott before his price rise tonight

      38. SantiClaus
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        In my world everybody stays
        Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say
        Bless my soul
        Let the night unfurl

      39. Alpharius
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So I was definitely going for 5. Walcott, great fixtures and form. But I feel asleep watching Match of the day before making the transfer and missed the price rise. I can still afford him, but won't have 0.1m to bank now

      40. HNI
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Upgrading Richarlison to Hazard may work with BOU CDF next. All depends on todays match vs newC. Also we will get a look of newC defence before city match. As main reason to bring in Hazard will be captaincy vs Bou which will be moot point if Kun vs Neec works better

      41. Neeskens Under Matip
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sigurdson? Costs a bit more but Everton's best player...

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Siggy has been unlucky so far I think. The early sub and to not be more involved in the points. If it is a short term swap, I’m just not sure he is worth it over Theo though

      42. AllGonePozzo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Considering doing PCS and Rich to Alonso and Fraser for -4. Either that or straight swap of Rich -> Pedro. Undecided which is the best option going to wait until after Chelsea game.

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

          PVA not PCS

      43. Awesom-o
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Think I’ll just hold.

        He’ll miss 2 league games but I’ve got Tomkins with 2 nice fixtures against Southampton (H) & Huddersfield (A) to cover him.

        I’ll defiantly want him back so I’ll be burning 2 FTs to ship him out and back in, really want to bank 2 FTs for the international break.

      44. Ghost of Tomiyasu
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Is it worth benching him if i bought him at 6.5?
        worried if i take him out i wont afford to put him back in

      45. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I am going to see where Meyer plays for Palace today - could be an interesting differential if he plays in an attacking position

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

          Meyer an interesting shout. if not Mili then Meyer might be he best way forward. Especially with their fixtures and Zaha looking keen.

      46. SweepaKeepa
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Any chance Lookman comes in for Richarlison?

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

          That would make my season. If Lookman became an Everton regular his ownership would rocket.

        2. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I would highly doubt this. Lookman is out of favour, due to his desire to leave for Germany. He has actually made the squad, but I fully expect Bernard to come in for Richarlison.

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

            Thanks, QBD. Shame!

      47. Skribblah88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just going to keep him, it's only 2 games and already have mkhitaryan and Fraser. Walcott and Madison have terrible underlying stats and Pedro is likely to play 60-70 mins each game.

        Wan-bissaka off the bench for 2 nice fixtures, use my transfers for something decent as I'll want richarlison when he comes back and I don't think he'll drop too much in price

    26. 404_FC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      when we will transfer richarlison out ? wait for tomorrow?

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Depends on when you got him and who you want. And of course whether you are willing to risk an early transfer with so many matches to play.

        If you had him from the start, I'd say wait as long as possible. You can take 1 price fall without losing value.

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

        Probably can wait 4-5 days if you had him from 6.5

      3. 404_FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thanks i cant remember i get him on 6.5 or 6.6

        do you know how to check it?

        i got him on 13 Aug

        You can wait abd afffird to lose 0.2 if you got him at 6.5...unless you want Wally who will go up tonight

        1. reddragons178
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          0.1 I meant.

      5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He doesn’t look like he’s going down tonight as things stand so there’s time at least to look at how Chelsea line up.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not if you wan't Wally 😉

    27. Baberto

      Enough of Coleman. Need a scorer at that price or below. Suggestions welcomed.

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

        I would keep him with those fixtures

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Before Hudds? Really?

        I am also annoyed.But hold for next 2 then if he still fails ship out

      4. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He was very, very bad today. Poor touches, poor crosses, scared to go into 50/50s, or even 60/40s in his favour. I’d be looking to offload if I owned him.

      5. XabiAlonso

      1. SweeSwee
        • 11 Years

        Similar to Ozil

          Useful bullshit answer.

      2. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I thought he played well in the first half, but looked gassed in the second. I believe he assisted on two assist.

      3. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Assisted the assisters of the 1st and 3rd goals

        Arnie didn't look like anything serious, but we'll have to wait for news.

      9 from 7 after a -8... so 1 from 7.
      So a pretty average GW so far.
