    Aguero in doubt and C.L and we all know how Pep loves rotation.
    Is Lukaku worth it?
    ZOse will never rotate him with god schedule ahead, but is united reliable?

      You've just pointed out the argument.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Had the big man for 2 weeks and it feels great.

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It would be good for his chances if he’s rested for the CL game

  2. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Current team is
    Pickford
    TAA, Mendy, Alonso
    Salah, Lucas, Haz, Fraser
    Zaha, Jimenez, Aguero
    (Speroni, Awb, Kaba, Odoi)
    0.7 ITB 2 FT. Tempted to bring in rich for Lucas if i can. But got 75 points this week so far and team looks good. Might just change Odoi to a starter... thoughts?

    1. cheeky moses
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd keep Lucas. Monitor Aguero situation first

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

    Got Hazard in for his 20 points, now lots of people knee-jerking out Salah/Mane/Pedro before they haul next week.

    Everything going according to plan 😎

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

      Dream on fanboy.

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

        Fanboy? Of who?

      • 14 Years

      This post is hilarious - you were told to do Haz to Mané weeks ago - if you had listened then you would have more points.

      The next thing you need to do is acknowledge Bilva is a poor FPL pick & sell him... looking forward to the posts in a week or two of “Got [insert 6.5 mid] for his haul while Bilva continues blanking, all going according to plan” lol

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I can't get Hazard in without a -8 or by selling Salah or by wildcarding.

      Not prepared to do any of the above. So I'm screwed!

      1. STEP rOVERS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Same and prepared to go without at the moment. Sickening 20k fall this week and it ain’t even over

  4. cheeky moses
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    A) Zaha, Billing
    B) Dilva, Quaner

    1. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

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

    Thoughts on what to do with this team? WC still an option.

    Fabianski - Foster
    Alonso - Mendy - Doherty - Cook - Wan Bissaka
    Salah - Hazard - Mkhitaryan - Walcott - Hughes
    Aguero - Wilson - Ings

    Thanks guys!

    1. polis
      • 12 Years

      Lose Mkhi. No need to WC.

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

      How many ft you got? But yeah mkhi out for a start

  6. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How does this look guys? 2FT with 0.0 in the bank. Going from 433 to 442

    Ederson 4.0
    Mendy Robertson Alonso PVA WBA
    Salah Mane Mhki Cairney Gunnarson
    Kun Ings Zaha

    Mhki Cairney Ings to Richarlison Fraser Success

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

      Solid moves

  7. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed... So i was expecting 3 players to be injured... Fraser, Zaha and Jimenez. 2 have got me a few points so far, Jimenez hattrick and its mad

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Don't know about a hattrick but if he returns you deserve it for not panicking and benching or transferring out

    2. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years

      Very useful post thank you for sharing good sir

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Looks like Haz will get the triple rise this week then

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Good

  9. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Gonna keep salah & mane for Soton, but which of the 2 should i sell for hazard gw 7 ?

    Thanks guys.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years

      Plenty of games and news to come between now and then.

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Two weeks to go with C.L.

      Don't rush

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mane. Keep Salah imo.

  10. Henning
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How do i get Hazard into my team?
    1.3 m in The bank
    Thinking on one of these. Any other suggestions?

    1.Hazard and Frazer in for D. Silva and Maddison
    2.Hazard and Millner in for Salah and Neves

    Hennessey Hamer

    Robertson Alonso Mendy Cook Wan-Bissaka

    Salah Moura D.Silva Maddison Neves

    Aguero Mitrovic Ings

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

      2.

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

      Don’t get rid of Salah

    3. International Richard
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      2 but Fraser instead of Millner

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So is Aguero injured or?
    Best replacement:
    A.Lukaku
    B.Aubameyang
    C.Lacazette
    D. Someone else

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

      If you trust United getting results and keeping form, Lukaku. Laca good value and I think he'll keep he's place, for now.

    2. Kiwi Don
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Came off as a precaution, think it is a minor ankle knock. Expect him to be fit next weekend.

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

        I’m not sure he will be ok, I’m not a doctor but landing funny on your ankle indicates a couple of weeks out imo

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

    4. MTPockets
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Pep inferred it was precautionary but who knows. A

      • Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        A.)

      • COLLIN QUANER
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hold fire on Aguero.

        I'd be tempted by Jesus if he is confirmed out though.

    5. zon
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Patricio Fab
      Alonso Mendy Robbo Cedric WBA
      Salah Bilva Siggy Fraser Hojberg
      Aguero Zaha Arnie

      Aguero + Bilva + Siggy -> Laca + Hazard + Richarlison (-4) looks like a good move, right?

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

        Wait. CL matches this week.

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

          Absolutely. Have +0.3 funds to do these moves, so waiting not an issue.

    6. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha or Mitro?

      1. polis
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Both?

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mitrovic

      3. Kolarov Fpl Legend

        5 years, 6 months ago

        M

    7. Steevo

      Pickford | Steklenberg
      Alonso | Mendy | Robertson | Luiz | AWB
      Hazard | Mané | Dilva | Neves | Stephens
      Aguero | Zaha | Kamara

      2.4m ITB & 1FT, time to deal with the free riders

      A) Pickford -> DDG
      B) Stephens -> Fraser
      C) Stephens -> Maddison
      D) Kamara -> King

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        D with Wilson can work or Neves to Walcott/Richarlison

      Who's looking at sterling? Expensive and game time risk, but could be a good differential. Not in many teams

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

        Hoping Sterling keeps relatively quiet next game week. I want to change Aguero to Sterling.

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

        Looking at Sterling and Kaku
        But don't know who to sacrifice...
        Aguero Haz Mane etc

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe if Salah keeps flopping. Kind of hoping Mendy's injured to make Sane a cheaper alternative.

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This fpl panel is a stupid idea.
        Most of us here are playing this game for a long time so this isn't the right audience for that kind of content.

        1. Holmes

          This FPL stuff is also stupid idea still many play this game

              'Scotty B's Inquisition Chamber' could be a snappy title for the proposed article.

            • 9 Years

            Disagree. As long as the panel are actual good players with unquestionable results its a cool feature.

              Chief FPL hasn’t actually got a very good history iirc

              I’m assuming that FPL Family doesn’t either as it’s not mentioned above, maybe this is to add some diversity rather than all-male as usual?

              Simon March was a bit of a one-season wonder (probably)

              1. badgerboy

                • 8 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Every time I see FPL Family I think of 'My Family' that gash BBC 1 sitcom with Robert Lindsay and old mate from Love Actually.

          Stick to guns and keep Salah and Mané and ignore Hazard? Yesterday’s game was the main concern not having him and he exceeded expectation but still wouldn’t say he’s essential.

          Haven’t needed to use wildcard yet and very defence heavy but doing a job so far.

          Got 2FT and 0.5 ITB and looking good for 5-3-2 next week with the fixtures and no transfers really want to make apart from an early Walcott to Richarlison. What do you reckon?

          De Gea (4.0)
          Alonso Mendy Robertson PVA Wan Bissaka
          Salah Mané Fraser Walcott Stephens
          Kun Zaha Kamara

          1. Totalfootball
            • 7 Years

            Looks good

          2. MTPockets
              5 years, 6 months ago

              That's the sensible, non-kneejerky, wait for european games to finish thing to do.
              But I sold Mane for Hazard.

              1. Gandalf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Very true mpted by Mané>Hazard option but no-one in defence that deserves a downgrade apart from maybe Robertson (SOU next though) or PVA (NEW next). De Gea has great run of fixtures now so feels like should ride that one out.

            • HVT
              • 13 Years

              Hazard won’t get a hattrick every week.

                • 7 Years

            • 12 Years

            2 FT’s

            Alisson
            Alonso | Mendy | Robertson | AWB
            Salah | Hazard | Walcott
            Aguero | Zaha | Mitrovic

            Hamer | Hughes | Bennett | Westwood

            A) Walcott > Richarlison
            B) Robertson, Walcott, Hughes > Pereira, Richarlison, Fraser (-4)
            C) Any other moves?

            Thinking just A and saving a transfer. Fraser performance making me too knee jerky? Seems great value more than anything else!

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Maybe A, but what if Walcott's fit and on fire? Could be a better option vs Arsenal

                Aguero too

                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Aguero got 2 assists, is that a blank to you?

                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Hes probably talking about the injury doubt.

                3 blanks out of 15 games combined for them so far. I’d take that over the rest of the season, just a shame all 3 blanks came in the same Gameweek.

                There will be a lot of 9 point AWB coming off the bench for Mendy this week so not all bad!

              Just did Mkhi and Pedro to Hazza and WHughes.

              Very happy I saved 2.5m on my wildcard.

            5. TheTinman
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Lukaku and Kun the perfect rotating captains

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

                Expensive duo with Hazard essential too

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

                  Got em all now

                • 10 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                why rotating? I have them both too - so far Lukaku's goals have all been away from home but still my (c) for next GW

                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  He meant rotating the armband

                  1. Mambino
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years

                    yes I know - same comment applies

                2. TheTinman
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Because you can only have one captain?

                  1. Mambino
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    yes but how do you rotate them on the basis of who is playing at home or what?

                    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                      • 7 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Yes home and better fixtures..

                      1. Mambino

                        • 10 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        hmm, probably right but interesting that Lukaku's goals haven't come at home so far (although jobs its very early in season)

              What to do with this lot

              Fabianski
              Alonso Robbo Mendy
              Mkhi Walcott Mane Salah
              Arnie Ings Aguero

              Foster | AWB Peltier Stephens

              285 points overall with 4 to play across today and tomorrow

              Wildcard or not?

                  what's in the bank?

                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      why wild card? Robbo for Shaw and One for Haz?

                      1. Mambino
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 10 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        Mane for Haz

              2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Don't wildcard
                Mkhi to Fraser and Ings to Mitro/Walcott to Rich

              3. MTPockets
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Who do you not have that you're keen to wc for, apart from hazard?

                • Holmes
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  No WC, just change Mkhitaryan and Arnautovic

                Except my Liverpool players and AWB all others have away games next GW 😮

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

                  Vardy is my only home player. Vardy (C) as Leicester look to hit back against trash HUD?

                  1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Not a bad shout as a differential captain but you must be having a liverpool player right?

                    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                      • 7 Years

                      *my bad Vardy is your only home player..

                      • 9 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      It will probably be Hazard

                    • 8 Years

                    Vardy with a good fixture. What could possibly go wrong? 😉

                    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                      • 7 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Well he has already been sent off once this season..

                  That's why I have Mads and Bellerin ( :/ )

                5 years, 6 months ago

                How does this look like for a WC team? Do I need Dilva?

                Patricio (Hamer)
                Alonso Mendy Robbo (AWB Bennett)
                Salah Haz Richarlison Fraser Maddison

                  Brilliant but Salah to Mane and upgrade elsewhere..

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

                  Poor bench. Quaner is useless

                • 9 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Both on form who would you want in your team?

                A) Kane

                B) Salah

                1. MTPockets
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Would have to weigh up extra mid pts vs bps, but Salah.

                  What is this like for a wild card .. or is it just the same as everyone else’s ..

                  Hennessy

                  Alanso Mendy Robertson

                  Dsilva hazard mane Richardson

                  1. MTPockets
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Pretty much. Bear in mind Palace have a bad fixture run from gw10-13 (ARS, tot, CHE, mun) so may want someone else over Boruc or a transfer down the line.

                        One more question king over Wilson? Or is it pretty much a coin toss?

                        1. MTPockets
                            5 years, 6 months ago

                            Yeah coin flip. I have Wilson and happy with him, but to to be fair King has penalties.

                          Sorry I worded that wrong.

                          Salah or Mane
