    Which to play?

    A) AWB at home to Newcaste (already have PVA playing for Mendy)
    B) Walcott - Away to Arsenal

      Thoughts on this Wc team..3-4-3

      Ederson, Foster
      Alonso, TAA, AWB, Bennett, benalouane,
      Hazard, mane, richarlison, hojbjerg, hughes,
      Aguero, arni, Lukaku

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

        get rid of Foster and uprade benal or hughes imo

      2. Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 7 months ago

          4th mid selection is a disgrace. Foster useless when you have Ederson. Benalouane also a bit of a joke. Drop one of the big 4 and fix the rest with the cash.

        • Rash
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Not a fan at all tbh considering you have no salah it's a very weak team.

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

        I can't see wither foster or Fabianski getting a clean sheet but who should I start?

        Currently on foster but maybe fab gets more saves..

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

        Does anyone else believe giving Vardy the captain's armband is a worthwhile gamble?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Massive gamble but you have to fancy him home to Huddersfield

        2. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah

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

          Depends on how your doing in your leagues. Owning him should be enough

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

            Top 35,000. Would've been top 2,000 if I captained Hazard last week..

        4. Pinturicchio10
            5 years, 7 months ago

            No

          • Live Lad
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I bought him for a hit. But captaining Salah.

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

            I am captaining Vardy this week.

            Gambled on Hazard last week and turned out ok.

          Mendy > Trippier ?

          Or just save the FT, my bench is Lowton, Cedric, Ings

          Thanks

          1. Sergeant Garcia
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Save, if I had that bench I wouldn't make that transfer.

              it’s the usual idiotic behaviour this guy displays, hasn’t been funny for years

            So could every player in fantasy

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

            Theoretically any Liverpool player ‘could’ start today

          4. BadgersBoys
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Is that you Jamie?

            This is really info we knew before the season started. Nothing new.

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

          This might sound weird.....but Fellaini for 5.0 looks decent. 2 assists. He has acted the full 90 in the last 2....is there a reason for that?

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

            He is a very bad pick.

            Had Fellaini @4.9m last year when he scored a brace 😀

            He then got injured.

        11. Sergeant Garcia
          • 9 Years

          Need some bench to cover Mendy's injury, 1.2 ITB

          Who to get rid of first? suggestions are welcome
          A) Fosu Mensah(4.5) > ?
          B) Hudson Odoi (4.3) > ?

            • 6 Years

            A to wolves or Leicester full backs

        12. FC Barkerlona
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Play Pedro, or do Mendy > Robbo for a hit?

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

            Why not get Pedro out?

              • 13 Years

          Am I the only one captaining Sterling?

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

            No. Sterling has also done the same.

        14. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Last decision on my WC, do I go for Ings or Jiménez?

          Thanks!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Depends on the other strikers

        15. Ron C John
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Hennessey Button

          Robertson Alonso Chilwell Wan-Bissaka Boly

          Salah Hazard Fraser Maddison Hojbjerg

          Aguero Mitrovic Jimenez

          Really struggling to pick 2 from Shaw, wan biss and Walcott.

          Initially thought Shaw and wan biss, but Walcott is such a troll he'll probably get a Hatty against his old club

          Help please

          Hey guys, considering Pogba on a WC, is he a good pick?

          Cheers

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

            Not at the moment.

          2. GinjaWhinja
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Definitely. Huge differential and shooting loads. There are cheaper options but he's on my watchlist.

        18. Dannyb
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          So tempted to just captain Mitrovic just so I don't have to decide between Haz and Aguero.

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

            Could pay off big time.

        19. Trippier Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Silva over Mane? Am on WC, helps free funds elsewhere

        20. #FPLBhuna
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          A) play pedro
          B) play awb (triple up with henny+pva)
          C) Trippier (-4) - would bring in next week anyway
          D) richarlison (-4) - would bring in next week anyway.

            Patricio. is up against a team who may not score today. So go for him. 😉

        23. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years

          Safe to do a spot of benchwankery with Mendy?

            I'm in the same boat, but I'd rather sort out the bench.

          Would love your opinions please on this WC decision...

          A) Ederson, Bennett, Shaw
          B) Bettineli, Doherty, Trippier
