      Hold and get Richarlison in for him.

    2. puhd
      • 9 Years

      Do it

  6. Tornado
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Too risky to start fraser in case of 15min cameo?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve benched just in case

      But decision will probably be irrelevant

    Morning all.......

    Just got up, any late news on....

    Zaha
    Walcott
    Fraser

  12. HavertzHero
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Why won't Miki start ? Unsure weather to have him in starting 11 don't want to do -4 to get him out. Just wondering if there's any clues?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A MASSIVE clue was playing well without him last week

  13. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Surely if Fraser and Zaha don't start then they don't come on? Based on that logic I'm starting both. Have two ready subs if necessary

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same

    2. Norsemen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I hope so. Both in my starting line up!

  14. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robertson and Zaha out, Alonso and Deeney in. For free. Y/N?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Y

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, though Zaha could bite you on the arse

      Should I start AWB or give him first sub?

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

        Doing the same as I have a Leicester defender

        1. GianniBanani
          • 5 Years

    2. HaydenXL

    3. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years

  21. Mongreloid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Whats best for next 6GWs:
    Holebas & Pereyra
    AWB & Pedro

    Will set and forget Mendy Robbo Alonso and have no Hazard...

    1. puhd
      • 9 Years

      Second option

  22. mcrayeps

    1. Mumm-Ra
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kante and Hazard

  24. Mumm-Ra
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Quick one
    (a) Maddison v Bournemouth (away) or
    (b) Neves v Burnley (home)

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      shaw becos he wont play

    2. maurorodi00
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      a

  25. boroie
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Start Shaw or Ruben Neves?

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      shaw

  26. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo owners playing him regardless of bench I assume?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’m playing Alonso, Mendy and Robertson every game all season long barring injury.

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If Mkhi doesn't play today, I'm selling for Richarlison. Makes sense right?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Or Moura... Hmm.

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

        Rich

    2. Mumm-Ra
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd maybe leave for 1 more week, as Arsenal have some decent fixtures coming up?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty much useless if Mkhi is out of favor.

        1. Mumm-Ra
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          True, just a thought though. Richarlison started well last season then disappeared. Everton also have injury issues which could effect the team. One to keep an eye on i suppose

    3. puhd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  28. HaydenXL
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso (C) Locked in. Whos with me?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I never captain defenders. Sorry.

      1. HaydenXL
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        not been playing as a defender though, doesnt that sway you?

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Nope. I have Alonso. Captained him last year for -2. Lesson learned.

  29. yemzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    play Wan Bissaka or Jimenez?

  30. Chasing Waves
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso cap worth a punt?

    1. HaydenXL
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I am going for it!
