        Interesting, reckon Mendy out for a couple of weeks?

  2. Tosa86
    • 6 Years

    Salah or kun ad Captain?!

    1. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah

  3. COYS.
    • 6 Years

    Update on pedro and Arnie ?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm guessing Arnie starts and pedro on bench

  4. Wouldiwas Shookspeared
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Replacement for Pedro?

    Torn between:
    Richarlison (good form before suspension, but okay-ish fixtures)
    Fraser(excellent form, excellent fixtures)
    Pereyra(somewhat a differential pick now, looked lively vs United)

    1. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison

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

      Maddison. Good fixtures and immense player!

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Richo

    4. dr.No88
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison

    5. Wouldiwas Shookspeared
      • 9 Years

      Sorry guys, i forgot to add that i do have Maddison.

    Trying to explain to the wife I need 15 minutes to take care out my manager duties while the two kids are screeming at max volume.. Any news this morning I need to know about?? Thanks!

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

      Sounds tough. No news this morning I believe. Are the wife and kids nailed?

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Wife must have been nailed at some point if there are kids...

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

          Haha. Thanks for the understanding everyone. There are certainly no auto subs so I hold on for dear life

          1. ClassiX
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I know they just don't understand

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not as far as I know

    4. LD
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing really. Just that mendy will probably be out this game but the extent of his injury I said unclear (thinking of playing him anyway just in case. auto sub can come on anyway if he doesn’t)

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

        Thanks

        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mendy 100% not playing. Medically, a bruised metatarsal takes anything between 2 weeks and 3 months to heal, so the potential absence range in significant.

  6. alfast1c
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Guys need help.

    Play Walcott or
    Mendy>Trippier for -4 and play him?

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Play Wally

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

      Means Trippier would have to outscore Walcott by 4+ points. Play Walcott imo.

      1. alfast1c
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        thx guys.

    3. dr.No88
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering this move for FT and will probably just play Walcott, so in your case definitely A imo.

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

      Play Wally

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

    Klopp will almost certainly be rotating his front 3 throughout this tough period. Just a gut feel but I think Mane or Salah get rested for Shaq today.

    1. dr.No88
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      i think Salah

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

      Hoping you get it wrong

  8. Dog and Fox
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    AWB, Alonso , Mendy*, Bertrand, Peltier

    0,5 ITB 0 FTS

    A) Bertrand -> chilwell -4
    B) Bertrand -> bellerin -4
    C) mendy -> Trippier -4
    D) play Bertrand

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

      A

  9. Brosstan

    Just read a long article about Sarri and his path to become a top club manager. What an amazing guy. I hope Chelsea wins the league, he deserves it.

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

      Link? Sounds like an interesting read

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

      I tipped Chelsea early on to win it. Could happen.

  10. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I think this week will be the right choice of (C) ,

    Doing (C) Aguero will not bother much as most serious players have him .

    The only deciding factor will be Salah or Hazard ,

    If Salah bangs even 1 goal and Hazard 0 .... right their will be differential for those 50%>43% transferred out players .

    If Salah 1 and Hazard 1 .. ok ok situation .

    I am guessing most of managers has Hazard now looking from that 0.3 rise.

    So If Hazard bangs 2 and Salah 0 , then you will be like 8-10 points ahead or behind.

    So if you have Salah and Hazard , want to be safe go for Hazard / want to go risky and somewhat gamble Salah (C) .

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

      I know what you are saying but ultimately got to go with who you think scores highest.

      Aguero at Cardiff
      Mane or Salah home to Southampton
      Hazard at West Ham.

      I could write an essay on the pros and cons of all four! Any of them could explode this week, but unlikely all will.

      Possibly the hardest captain choice I can remember in c10 years of playing the game!

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

    Have 1FT

    1) Mane -> Hazard
    2) Walcott -> Richarlison
    3) Walcott -> Maddison
    4) Save, play Mane and Walcott

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      4 but would be tempted with 2

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I did 2

    B) Mhki + Bilva + Mendy —> Hazard + Richarlison + Doherty (-4 hit)
    C) Mhki + Luiz —> Richarlison + Trippier

    1. Finnish Fish

    Pulling my hair out over captaincy!

    A) Salah (will he be rested?)
    B) Hazard (will reproduce?)
    C) Aguero (will he be hauled off after 60mins?)

    1. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      if you still have salah you gotta go with salah

    2. K.F.C
      • 7 Years

      Im in same boat! I think all 3 will score... very tough to pick

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

      A) Yes. Just don't know if he will start and be pulled, or be benched and come on later.
      B) Yes. Starting with Giroud and Willian he will get either goal or assist points.
      C) Yes. Provided the game is well and truly won. (Kun bullies the bad teams, I'm expecting goal/s and assist/s)

    4. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      C-He could easily score 4 in 60 mins

      Why would you want to replace Mendy long term? Have you watched them play?

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

        I really don't want to, I have had him since the beginning and I have so much value tied up with him.

    3. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A for me-Full of on form players also good solid structure.
      Mane atm justifies not owning Salah
      Mendy a season keeper
      Hazard on fire
      Aguero well he is just aguero
      Maddison and Frazer in fine form and looks to continue.

  25. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years

    So who to captain guys..

    A. Auba (EVE)
    B. Aguero (car)
    C. Hazard (whu)
    D. Mane (SOU)

    1. Finnish Fish

    2. dr.No88
      • 7 Years

      Hazard or Kun for captain

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Kun I think he is going to run riot as he is on a mega high today.

    3. Balls of Steel

    pretty sure pedro will start on bench but does his manager normally give him 25 plus minutes? cannot bear these cameos and i really should not have bought last week, short term-ism
