      1. The Head-Ake

    9. Thunder Warrior
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Who’s more likely to have more saves Ryan or Patricio? Wolves could keep cs though...

      3. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Monreal if you have to

      4. barcaa7
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        neither

    11. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What are your views on Ramsey ?

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Playing no10 role
        In the box
        Will randomly get a hattrick soon
        Or get injured

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

        Can’t see him, is cloudy mind you

      3. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Gooner, rotation risk and injury prone, but very good technical player with an eye for goal

      4. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Like him and good value when he’s firing, but hasn’t shown enough yet for me this season. Can be quite a streaky player so would definitely consider him at first sign of points.

      5. Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Meh

        • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          A bit like Moura who I just brought in. Unteal value abd a fantastic option for points and explosivness but comes with baggage . Accept the risks and you got a great FPL asset.

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

        Easy....Mitro long term...he will not be rotated...moura will be....if son hits form he will have a tough way in to x11

        1. There's Always One!
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks mate

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

        I need your thoughts on my WC team?

        Patricio-Foster
        Alonso-Robertson-Shaw-AWB (Bennett)
        Hazard-Salah-Richarlison-Fraser (Hojbjerg)
        Aguero-Mitrovic (Jimenez)

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Template. You'll survive. I'd have Henessey over Foster maybe.

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

            Ings over Jimenez?

        2. @ntrobu5
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I am very similar and went through iteration with 2 playing keepers and Robertson/Richarlison.

          Just fancy giving Sane a go if Mendy not playing

          Ederson-Button
          Alonso-AlexanderArnold-Shaw-AWB (Bennett)
          Hazard-Salah-Sane-Fraser (Hojbjerg)
          Aguero-Mitrovic (Jimenez)

          Fair chance i will end up with Richarlison and Robertson in few weeks time though

      8. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Pick one

        A) Laporte
        B) Otamendi
        C) Shaw

          play one:

          A dunk (TOT)
          B bennet (mun)

          1. Salahlulijah
            • 5 Years

          2. Slaps
            • 12 Years

          3. Pass
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Dunk. Both won't keep clean sheet but he is dangerous on dead ball situations

        6. Ian Davis
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          A) Pedro > Richarlison (-4)

          B) Pedro > Maddison (-4)

          C) Play Pedro (Neves first sub)

          1. Slaps

          Is it too risky timing up money in Haz, Salah and Mane?

          Patricio (Stek)
          Alonso, Robertson, Trippier, AWB (Bennett)
          Mane, Salah, Hazard, Fraser (Ward)

            Not at all. You'll get to know this week prolly. Save for now.

          Foster - (Patricio)

          Need some help chaps.

          - Had Mendy from GW1.
          - Currently on my WC.
          - Got AWB as cover this week.

          Is it worth:

          A. Keep Mendy
          B. Mendy > Trippier

          1. drughi

            Im in similar boat. Thinking B

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Make that 2-1. The mystery around his injury is frustrating

          4. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            1-1 😀

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            B

          6. Slaps
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I would sell on WC, assume you get 6.2 for him now you should be able to get him back at the same price

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              That’s very true. Cheers slaps.

              What do you think about Shaw as an option?

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

                I do like him, but like anyone in Utd defence I feel he's one bad performance from being rotated.

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

            I'd get Mendy out but Trippier is a rotation risk long-term

        12. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Ederson boruc

          Hazard Mane Fraser Pedro Stephens
          Aguero zaha King
          1 FT, 2.6 itb
          so, I basically have AWB on the bench, so i need to make at least one transfer, should I take a hit on Mendy?
          To get a city mid, I have to sell Mendy. So, guys, what'd you do if you were in my position?

          Pat (Hamer)
          AWB Robertson Alonso (Peltier, Mendy)
          Neves Mane Haz Walcott (Stephens)
          Zaha Aguero Arnautovic

          0 FT. £3.1m in the bank.

          If no WC I am thinking simply Neves- Maddison.

            Not really comparable, ones over 2m more. I’d prefer Fraser this week as Burnley are shite

          This song is annoying the hell out of me, pls get out my head:

          "I'm horny, horny, horny, horny."

          "So horny, horny, horny, horny tonight".

            Patricio
            Alonso Robertson Wan-Bissaka Rico
            Hazard Mane Sane (vc) Richarlison
            Lukaku (c) Zaha

            southampton havent shipped too many goals hence i'm in dilemma who to captain, also hazard can be a troll & west ham should have a little more confidence after victory and again kun played midweek .....so who to go with

            A) Salah
            B) Hazaard
            c) Aguero

            1. Collie01
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              If you have Salah you should captain him

              1. Srv210
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                yes i have him...but if you go with form hazard and kun ahead of salah

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

              When I sold Salah for Hazard a couple of weeks ago this was the GW I feared, stick with him

            3. Eytexi
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Safer option seems Hazard but Salah for me

            Thoughts on the best combo? First to 3.

            A) Ederson, 4.0GK, Wilson
            B) Patricio, Foster/Ryan, Zaha

            Cheers.

              B with Ryan

          9. TheKeitaSuccess
            • 8 Years

            Can't decide between Aguero, Hazard and Mane for captain?

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

              Kun because Cardiff are the worst team in the league and City will want to bounce back after midweek

            2. Over Midwicket
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Kun

            3. Lebowski85
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              However, Aguero has scored in one game and not done anything away from home so far. Albeit in 2 games. Might go Hazard for Form

          10. Who Ate All Depays?
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Is Lukaku worth captaining over Aguero and Hazard?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years

              No

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              God no

              • 12 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Unclassy, he's not even 10% of aguero or hazard

            4. Salahlulijah
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              If you think he’ll score more then yes
