    3x captain Kun, anyone?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Looking forward to TC Salah after being denied it last season :drool:

    2. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Really thinking about it, Newcastle look lost and have multiple injuries

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tempting but no

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

      I’ve been thinking that

    5. Petrichor II
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Double gameweek is tempting if only Pep use Kun in two matches around 60-70minutes.

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I like it. It's overrated in a DGW later in the season where there's a very good chance he'll timeshare with Jesus.
      I'm going to wait for Fulham though, he'll be nice and rested having international week off.

    8. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      cheers all! 2 more days to think about it.

    9. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kun to be benched this week though - it’s his turn 🙂

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        no chance

    What does this mean?!!
    Any more quotes anybody?
    Cheers 🙂

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

      I can translate. Behind his knee is the West Ham midfield. Although they are kind of a big problem...

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        good old Dinners

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        If this is accurate then surely he plays

        "He passed all the examinations with the doctor, from Tuesday he worked all week and has no problems," Pellegrini said.

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

    What’s up with the hype on Gross?

    1. Petrichor II
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fulham concede a lot and Gross loves playing at home.

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

        You think he will play a full game ?

        1. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          i think so... already rested in liverpool match

        2. Petrichor II
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not sure.. 3/4 scout crew backed him although they know he play in Carabao Cup. He is the main man though.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gross exaggeration ? 🙂

  4. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Any Southampton fans know if Hojbjerg will be a starter after his ban?

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Remove the flag from Arnie!

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

      Is this a sure to start "Marko had a small problem behind his knee in the last game. He's worked all week."

      First time interpreting press conference quotes so not sure!

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Small problem....Worked all week.

        He is fine!

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Trying not to convince myself just because I have him so maybe something else was said off camera. I don't see how , he has worked all week means he will not start though. They need a win especially with the hard games they have .

  6. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    WC Draft, GTG?

    Ryan/ Hamer

    Alonso, Mendy, Wan Bissaka / Doherty, Bennett

    Salah, Hazard, Mkhi, Walcott / Fraser

    Kun(c), Zaha, Jimenez

    0.0 ITB

    1. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good, but maybe change Doherty to Cedric (so that you don't have to double up on Wolves defence).

    2. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mkhi > Moura

    3. MadridistaRants
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team but I'd try to fit a Liverpool DEF in there. Robertson ideal but TAA is good value too.

    4. wrongball6
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      nice... but...

      Once Kun is rested and lets down everyone whos captained him there will be a scramble to afford Kane

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

        You spelled hattrick wrong.

  7. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking of using my WC... already did Richarlison & Peltier -> Alonso & Stephens (-4). Really want Haz in my team and loose some Pool (Mane & maybe VVD) and King.

    Patricio
    Alonso VVD Mendy WB
    Salah Mane Neves Mkhi
    Zaha Aguero (C)

    Begovic King Pereira Stephens

    Save WC and GTG orrrr use my WC?

    Thanks for the feedback!

    1. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds good, I just activated my WC to transfer out all my three Pool players (Salah, Mane and Robbo). Call me stupid if you want... 🙂

      1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        YOU may not be stupid, but those moves sounds like they are. The top scoring FPL player of all time, the highest scoring midfielder and number 2 on the defenders list out doesn't seem like smart moves to me.

    2. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes I know, but look at their fixtures. And i really wanted the trio of Haz-Kane-Aguero. There will be goals! 🙂

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hold man .... hold the line 🙂

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Too earlt for a WC?

        1. King Kun Ta
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          *Early

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          People are using their WC to get the team you already have 🙂

          1. King Kun Ta
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Hahaha. Hazard next GW then. Scary GW to come....

  8. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    You put the Arnie in, he put his left knee out, in out in out he shook it all about

    You do the Pellegrini and you turn about, that's what it's all about!

    Ooooooooooooooh injury hokey cokey
    Ooooooooooooooh injury hokey cokey

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

      Arnie (C)

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

      West Ham is desperate not to have to play the little chichi

  9. Petrichor II
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Members only?? Racist !
    Haha

  10. the dom 1

    Repost sorry;

    Thoughts please?

    Fab (Foster)
    Mendy, Robbo, Alonso, AWB (Peltier)
    Salah, BSilva, Mhki (Fraser, Hughes)
    Ings, Firm, Kun.

    G2G lads?

    Another quote from Pellegrini on Arnie:

    "He passed all the examinations with the doctor, from Tuesday he worked all week and has no problems."

    Almost a differential at 17.7%...

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Remove da freaking flag! 🙂

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

        Let it there and let people sell him. Becomes more of a differential

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Hmmm true. Hopefully for a hit 😉

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Oh goodness me - this is a rollercoaster.

      "Will he miss the game on Saturday then?"
      "Yes"

      https://twitter.com/SeanStaz89/status/1035131095371669506

      No idea as to truth or validity but surely some of the other reporters would have picked up on that if true...

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sky sports reporting he’s been ruled out though

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        🙂

  12. dando89
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just seen that Cairney is out for a month, I've got 2 free transfers but he's already dropped to 4.9 so who can I swap for at that price?!

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I've got 0.1 in the bank to go to Hughes maybe

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

      Get some 4.4 guy and you will get 0.5 in bank 😎

  13. Craig
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    4point hit for Aub > Aguero worth it?

    For what its worth I own both Mkhi and B.Silva. Feel like Aubameyang over Aguero has killed me so far but I've tried to hold off!

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

      Nope

      1. Will Grigg's on Fire
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Newcastle parked the bus pretty well against Chelsea. And it will be no different with City.
        Goals will be a problem in this game. So I do not see value in Auba swapping for Aguero this gameweek.

    2. The Rumour Mill
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I made this exact move. He's had enough chances, his stats are awful, and Aguero's are very strong, and Aguero's EO will be over 150% this week. Too risky not to own and captain Aguero.

  14. Claudio555
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4,5 mf?

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

      guendouzi

    2. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is he really nailed?

    3. Petrichor II
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Biling more threat.

    4. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What about Schneiderlin?

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

      Schneiderlin

    6. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is he back after injury?

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

    Currently set up like this. But still thinking maybe I need King on the pitch and no Wally is abit worrying but chose Moura over him, it would Bilva to Wally if anything.

    G2G set up right you think?

    Fabs
    Mendy Alonso Robertson Shaw
    Lucas Mkhitaryan Bilva Salah
    Mitrovic Aguero(c)

    Foster King Tomkins Stephens

    Thanks all.

    1. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No need to get Wally imo. Your looking good. Id downgrade King & upgrade Bilva at some point.

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

      Your bench is so expensive...

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

        That is only this week , my bench is usually Shaw Tomkins Stephens

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

          that’s still v expensive, downgrade shaw to wan-bissaka and you still have great bench cover but have almost 1mil to upgrade your first team

  16. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    1) TAA or Gomez?
    2) Mkhi or Moura?
    3) Zaha or Arny?

    1. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      TAA, Mkhi & Mitro 🙂

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      TAA
      Moura
      Zaha

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This is what I'm currently on 🙂

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

      TAA, Moura, Arnie

  17. Finnish Fish
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kun Capt a must? High ownership, good game. Just thinking that may be rested.. played full 90 mins last week Jesus came off the bench. Time for Jesus? As I have Haz I see him as nailed and possibly explosive captain option. That Pep roulette could hurt really bad... Thoughts?

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

      I wouldn't get him in. I'd cap him if I had him though. Jesus is nowhere near being an option... yet.

      1. Finnish Fish
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, no chance for Jesus?

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

          He is likely to get some game time but that money is better spent getting as many as possible out of Hazard, Salah, Silva etc. etc.

          However I do expect Aguero to play less and Jesus to play more (maybe all away games) so I think his time will come.

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, and Im not gonna buy Jesus if you mean that.

    2. McGinn and Tonic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I dont think Aguero will be rested, international break coming up and they need to keep up with other teams. Last season he got a hat trick against newcastle so he will play...im even thinking of TC him...so kiss of death right there!

      1. Finnish Fish
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldnt TC him, cuz you never know.. You know Pep. I think they will play 3-5-2 tho so yeah (K)un it is.

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

      He's got a 2 week rest after this game

      1. Finnish Fish
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers dudes.

  18. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Take a hit to shift Arnie to a max 8.5 striker, or play Cedric?

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

      Play Arnie

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

      Arnie was said to start the next game wasn't he?

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sky sports reporting he’s been ruled out

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

          Ben Dinnery, Austrian manager and Standard say he's fit to play

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

          Thanks, only saw the tweet saying he'll start. Though choice for the Arnie owners now.

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

      Which striker? Play Arnie simple

  19. wrongball6
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy worth a shot at captain ?

    A likely CS and a chance of attacking returns ?

    Other option would be Hazard but ive been burnt before.
    not other outfield city... 🙁

    1. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Haz

  20. NawdyPaws
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    RMWCT

    Hennessey
    Alonso Mendy Robbo WB (Bennett)
    Salah Mkhi Haz (Neves Cairney)
    Mitro Aguero Zaha

    0ITB, plan to rotate Neves and WB to give next 6 of SOU, BUR, NEW, SOU, WOL, WAT.

    1. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm yeah.. Personally I dont like Neves as he is a creative deep line midfielder. Could get some points tho (FK’s & Pens) so yeah. 8/10

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

      Solid team, can't see many flaws.

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

      Cairney our for a month, could downgrade to 4.4 and upgrade neves to Fraser?

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

      Neves is totally awful pick with WC.
      He is defending midfield who plays for Wolves. Just why?

      1. Robin Cook
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You may know Wolves better than me, so I'm not challenging your opinion but to me Neves feels like a bit like last year's Milivojevic. For around 5m I can't see anyone coming close to his potential (in my mind).

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

        He’s the 14th highest scoring midfielder; everyone else from 1st to 18th cost 5.5+ at start of the season. Was considering a Cairney downgrade to squeeze in Fraser, but will prob stick with Neves

  21. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Should I play Bissaka or Ings?

    1. wrongball6
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Both... But Bissaka ahead of Ings.

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

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

      Bissaka

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

      Thanks all

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly - not an Arnie owner but I found it really strange how Sky could've possibly interpreted the comments to mean he's out.

      Doesn't matter if your first 11 is good

      We can hold a party if Peltier ever gets a point

      Some of first season failures do much better second time. I think he is one.

        They're on the Scout Tweets. A good addition this season.

      I'm now considering if I should keep one 4.0 DF with 3 Big Left-Back and AWB or go for 4.5 DF.

      Who is now rated as Best 4.5m DF, Schlupp or someone elase ?

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years

        AWB is as good as other 4.5m defenders given his fixtures. Schlupp will be replaced by Meyer soon

        WB is the best. I know hes 4.1 but he plays like PVA imo. Looks really good, bright future ahead of him.

        Some of the Wolves look ok
        .Doherty?

      4. Sgt Frank Drebin

        7 years, 4 months ago

        In my opinion it's most profitable to have a bench of a 4.0, Wan-Biss and 4.5 mid and spend the 0.5 or .4 saved on WB to strenghten the first eleven.

      Cairney out for a month, do you think his price will drop, or will he be priced locked once red flagged?
      Never really understood how price locks work

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Price will be locked after the red flag is removed - only if the red flag changes straight to available.
