    Would you WC 'Team A' to 'Team B'? Exact funds.

    Team A:
    Foster
    Alonso Mendy Robertson
    Salah Hazard Bernardo Fraser Hughes
    Aguero

    (0FT, 1.8M ITB)

    Fabianski Kamara Peltier Ings

    Team B:
    Patricio
    Alonso Mendy Trippier AWB
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Maddison
    Aguero Mitro

    Hamer Ward Doherty Ings

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B out of those

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        The question was whether to use wildcard.

        My current team's "Team A" whilst WC team's "Team B".

    2. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, key players already in place in team A

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Ok... it's so tempting though.

    3. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Team B is nice but not sure I’d WC. Just do silva to richarlison and kamara to someone like Jimenez next week

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Considering Ings to Mitro (-4) tonight...

        If I make ANOTHER hit next GW, that would mean 3 consecutive hits (GWs 5-7), lol.

        Might just do Bernardo to Rich/Maddison. Who do you prefer out of these two?

        Cheers!

    4. Son is Rising
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Dropping Fraser? Seems harsh...

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Can't have them all though...

    5. Stokelona
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think you’re missing a player in team a

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Correct. Missing AWB as my 4th defender.

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

      Personally I wouldn't, but mainly because I don't have as much faith in Richarlison or Maddison as the rest of the community seem to have (great footballers, just not sure about their current fpl value with both their teams playing some poor football atm) Schürrle/Pereyra/Fraser even Milner are better options in my eyes, and would get you more money ITB. Also if you went with Mané instead of Salah, but of course you've already considered that 😉

      However, if the question is reduced to "to wildcard or not to wildcard" then it's more difficult, sense it seems possible/likely that you won't be able to field a full (starting) eleven this weekend

      good luck whatever you choose

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, wondering whether to WC or not...

        If I do Ings > Mitro (-4), I'll have a full starting XI + Mendy*.

      2. Wheyyyy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn't wildcard.. just take a -4 to sort Kamara/Peltier & maybe Bernado/Hughes

    7. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B is better

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, of course!

        Team A's my current team and I'm wondering whether to press the WC button and go for Team B.

  2. Stokelona
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson
    Wan B Mendy Luiz
    Lingard Hazard Mane Maddison
    Firmino Mitrovic Aguero

    Stekelenburg Coleman Stephens Peltier 0.4m itb 1 ft

    Was down to 10 men last week, do I do:

    A) Mendy to Alonso (exact money)
    B) Coleman to Maguire (fixtures and goal threat)
    C) Peltier to Bennett (Cheap cover and wait for others to come back)

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman out seems most logical

      1. Stokelona
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh I think so, won’t keep him long term. Only thing is they have two nice home games so one which he might be back for but silva’s defence is typically poor.

    2. Son is Rising
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman to Shaw?

      1. Stokelona
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure about shaw, I actually really rate Ashley young

        1. Son is Rising
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed, but can see Mou playing him at RB

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

      Heard something about Maguire possible rest in the next GW.

      1. Stokelona
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks man, just google the comments from puel. Dam I wanted Maguire, not sure I can go for him now especially as I’m bringing him in because of injuries. Think I definitely need to wait for the pressers tomorrow.

    4. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman must go

    Thanks a lot!

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years

      Mendy hasn't been active either. Wait for news

    Pedro's touch there was terrible. Then he got smashed by the GK.

  8. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Should I be worried about Auba starting on the weekend? Really thought Laca would be starting in the Europa tonight. Or am I looking too much into it?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      If he plays 90 mins tonight then I can't see Auba starting on the weekend

    2. Yome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Auba will start on Sunday, no way he will be benched.
      He may not get the full 90 min like recent games.
      I sold him for Lukaku

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pedro could have slight concussion from thst challenge

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years

      Glad I don’t own after seeing that

  12. Collie01

    Pedro just got a pretty heavy knee in the head/shoulder area.

  13. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro took a knee to the face and looks in bad shape 🙁

  14. diesel001

    Pedro with a dislocated shoulder?

    Why was Alonso subbed?

    1. LarryDuff

    4. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Azpi for Alonso. Defensive.

  16. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro crocked right at the very end. FML, looks like it's a hit this GW, then.

  17. LarryDuff
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro looks dazed

  18. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro and Willian playing the full 90.
    Guess Willian starts this weekend? Got his goal today and was the better player?

    Also pedro played more mins last week?

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

      And broke his shoulder

  19. Goat
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    That makes Pedro-> Fraser a lot easier

    1. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Are you considering Fraser?

  20. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    That Laporte rise put me .1 off of Arnie + Mendy > Giroud + Laporte for free :/

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

      Lucky you

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That would have been a mistake anyway

    3. Nice to Finally Michu

        Pick the one you think will score the most points 😛

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Probably won't happen again but arsenal battered Everton last year in late kick off. Everton pretty poor and arsenal could come good. Laca an option then maybe.

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

          I agree and with Arsenal defence could end up 4-4 so I al thinking Lacazette and Richarlison this week

    • Son is Rising
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Play Richarlison or PVA this weekend?

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

        I would play Richa, but I'm no Ville Ronka you know.

        1. Son is Rising
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I think it's Richa too, my worry is having two Palace defenders on my bench with blue stars if I do that...

      2. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Whichever one you decide against, can I have them? 🙂

        1. Son is Rising
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          By all means!

      3. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison

    • DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      My bench absolutely reeks. It stinks. Ings, Cairney, Peltier. All have 0 chance of playing 1 minute. What a shocker that is. I also have Pedro, Mendy, and Arnautovic. What do i do?! Is Arnautovic + Pedro > Richarlison + Mitrovic for -4 a decent move?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes I think so

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Wait on news, but if Pedro, Mendy and Arnie are out then it is WC time. And if no WC, then welcome to hit city.

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I dont think it warants a WC.

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That looked like a dislocation to me.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Yeah looks bad altogether

    • Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years

      Pedro to Rich for hit?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        If no bench cover then yes
