    Mane Hazard Maddison Rich Fraser
    Arnie* Kun*
    (Stek AWB Mendy* Ings*)

    Arnie > Mitro worth a hit?

      Yes.

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

      Why have you put a star next to Kun ?

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

      Kun will start and score 4 goals so really you should have 4 stars next to his name. 😉

    who sold Mendy at 6.0?

    1. North_East_FF_Pro
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Me and it feels good. Robertson is going to tear it up!

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

      I got rid in my WC

    3. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I sold for Robbo, who will then become Trippier on WC.. Unsure if Mendy will be back next week and then it's Liverpool the game after.

      1. North_East_FF_Pro
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        The way I see it is, Robbo tears it up - price goes up to 6.3 and Pep doesn't give out any detail on Mendy status and his price drops to 6.3 so I'm not losing out price wise.

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah true, I'm more focused on points rather than cash tho.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Ive gone Kun

      Those with Salah should captain Salah though imo.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Salah

    3. Rex Lapis

      Salah

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      kun

    5. RamaJama

      Salah for me

    9. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Salah.

      When I’m struggling to choose my captain, I just go for the player that’s playing at home.

      Liverpooo are also awsome at home....

    10. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years

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

        for non Salah owners, is Mane not a good option today?

        I have Haz Kun Mane

        really thinking Mane? RMT says Mane too with fairly comfortable margin

  6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Repost::

    last problem??
    A)Play pedro and bench doherty
    B)Play doherty and bench pedro (slightly worried of a onepoint cameo)

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

      I have similar issue. See my post below yours. If Pedro comes off the bench he might even score but he might do just a 10 min cameo too, and that’s what I’m worried. Better not play at all then.

  7. Feeling_blue
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    So do people here prefer Lacazette over Vardy?

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

      No

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

      Prefer Vardy

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      not really

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

      Not much between them imo.

    5. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I do but that's not the general consensus here

    6. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Lacazette for this gw but Vardy more assured of starts and Leicester fixtures are decent even if their form up until now hasn't been. Would expect both to score this weekend against leaky defences.

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

      I have Maddison.

      It was then either Salah and Jiminez or Mane and 9.5

      As I have Maddison I went with Laca fuxtures. If I had Rich then I would've gone with Vardy.

      Its about structure.

  8. aborg
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I have Pedro as my first sub. Should I replace him with one of my starting players or just keep as is? I’m not sure what to do.

    My current lineup is as below:

    Ederson
    Alonso, Robertson, WB, Holebas
    Moura, Salah, Fraser
    Zaha, Aguero, Firmino

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      bench pedro i guess.Starting 11 looks strong

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

        Thank you

  9. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Fortune favours the brave. SALAH captain

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

      It’s not brave to captain the most expensive player in the game at home to one of the worst sides in the league

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

        This. Think you almost have to captain him if you have him.

    2. the sultan
      • 12 Years

      hope so

    3. Now I'm Panicking

    Ederson
    Mendy | Wan-Bissaka | Alonso
    Lucas Moura | Maddison | Richarlison | Salah
    Arnautovic | Aguero | Lacazette

    Bench one from

    A) Maddison
    B) Moura
    C) Fraser
    D) Mitrovic

    Thoughts appreciated.

  14. Lebowski85

    How many points hit is a wildcard Worth to you?

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

      12 or 16

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      12 or 16

    3. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      More than a -8

    4. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Around 10

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Less the later it gets.

      1. Now I'm Panicking

        Or do I mean more? It's still early!

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

      I think it’s worth 10-15 in the first week and then around 5 points each week for the next four or five

    7. polis
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      minimum of 12

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

    Consider Euro Leagues...

    Chelsea publicly said Hazard is free from Euro League games...Alonso was substituted mid second half only at a 1 goal lead...

    LFC, ManCity, Spurs and United will not rest players for Champions League...rotation is more likely to happen during league games...

    1. Rupert The Horse

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years

      Mendy was also up at midnight with some other guy on his Instagram story. Don’t think he will play today

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      And an inspired move if he’s out for longer. Win win.

    4. kalmoffit

      I'm getting rid while sober this morning.

  18. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What do we think of Pedros chances of starting? Will rotate with Willian but they will play 70/20min each game.

    Paok: Willian 90min (1goal) Pedro 90min
    Cardiff: Willian 22min (1goal) Pedro 68min
    Bournemouth: Willian 65min Pedro 25min (1goal)
    Ncastle: Willian 21min Pedro 69min

    Pedro injury :

    ‘It is a problem with his shoulder,’ reported Sarri. ‘I don’t know exactly the situation, I have only talked to the doctor for a few seconds and the doctor said probably it is not a very serious injury.’

    Pedro subsequently tweeted an update
    @_Pedro17_

    Good start in the @EuropaLeague . Everything’s ok despite the incident at the end of the game. Come on Blues!!

    Would love to hear from you guys on which is best?

    B) Mendy > Shaw
    C) Keep Mendy (play Wan Bissaka)

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

      I did A, but nit convinced

  22. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years

    WC team. Thoughts?

    1.7 ITB

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Alonso Trippier TAA (AWB Doherty)
    Hazard Mane Sane Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Mitrovic (Jimenez)

    Can't decided who to pick in Sane place. There is David Silva and Tottenham options as well.

  23. Collie01

    I'm on 5-3-2

    1. WayneKumar
      • 12 Years

      I'm on 5 - 4 - 1

      Ederson (Foster)

      AWB, Robertson, Shaw, Alonso, Mendy

      Mane, Ali, Maddison, Pogba (Schurle)

      Aguero (Wilson, Ings)

      ( ) = Bench

    2. Rock n Grohl

      3-5-2

  24. R.C

    So Shaqiri will start against SOU instead of Salah?

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

      Lol

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Will he?

    3. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years

      You spelt Mane wrong

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

      Or Mané?

  25. Sihproma
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    i'm on WC, need advices

    Ederson
    Roberson Alonso Mendy Bisaka Holebas
    Hazzard Pogba Moura Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Wilson Gray

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

      I’d wildcard that lot

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

      decent team, change gray and holebas though.

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

        I really rate Gray actually, think he’ll score plenty

    3. Sihproma
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      still confuse about no Salah or Mane, i have to sell mendy to afford Mane +__+

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

    My lineup
    Patricio
    Tripper , Robertson , Shaw
    Pereya, Salah, Hazard , D.Silva, Richarlision
    Lukaku , Wilson

    2 FT. Any recommendations to change. 0.7 itb
    You can assume the bench is unplayable. Have AWB as standby only.

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

      look to change pereya, not a good long term pick.

  27. paza12
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    start either Hughes or David Luiz? Cheers!

    1. Paulinho14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      close but Hughes if David luiz is your only Chelsea defender

      1. paza12
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers i have alonso? Still start Hughes?

  28. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Salah should start right. He needs goals, scored 3 vs soton last year. He will be benched midweek, needs the goals before next weekend's prem game vs Chelsea.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He’ll definitely start IMO.

  29. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Go Silva over Maddison on WC if possible?

    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Wan-B Chilwell
    Salah Hazard Silva/Maddy Fraser
    Aguero Mitro

    (Hamer - Doherty Ings Højbjerg)

    Will be a lot more flexible with 2.4itb as opposed to 0.4 with Silva.

  30. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    A) Maddison & Doherty
    B) Pereyra & Shaw/Holebas
