    My Wc team

    Ederson, Hamer
    Alonso, TAA, AWB, Bennett, benalouane,
    Hazard, mane, richarlison, hojbjerg, milner,
    Aguero, arni, Lukaku

    G2g?

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

      I would downgrade Arnie to Ings and upgrade milner

  2. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kun is playing? I assumed he'd be on the bench and Jesus starting.. but I guess that's what happened midweek instead.

    WOOPS.

    Did Pedro + Kun >> Pogba + Zaha. Will see if it pays off.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Oh boy... Hat-trick incoming!

      1. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Now i am switching from Salah to Aguero now 😛

        Will be last min decision who to go (C)

      2. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Probably. Could have just screwed my whole season...

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years

      Lol

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

      Why won't Kun start ?!

    4. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero to Zaha. Bold.

    5. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      As a kun and pedro owner I hope they score big. Sorry!

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

  3. LeicesterA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Please help!

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

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

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

      • 5 Years

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

  5. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Is a wolves 1-0 win with a Bennett bullet header too much to ask for?

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

      Yes

      1. Point-one short

  6. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Start Walcott or Wan Bissaka ?

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

      I asked the same question AWB won 3-1

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        No clean sheet points then?

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

  7. Ivz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

    2. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Foster here also.

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

      I have both and am starting with Fab, for save point potential

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    is shaw nailed? is smalling nailed?

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

      Uniteds defense is not settled at all imo

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

      Until someone farts and their legs fall off.

      1. The Albatross
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        That happened to my uncle

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

          Mine too, small turd.

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

      For today
      100% Smalling
      75% Shaw

    4. Any Laporte in a Storm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not buying it. With a name like Lord Flasheart there should be more certainty. Huuh!!!

  9. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    OR 371K

    Good time to gamble and put the captaincy on Aubameyang?

    Alternatives are Kun and Mane

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

      I’m doing it but I’m at 47k

      Nervous about doing though

      Kun could go big

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

      Early days still.

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

      Yes IMO

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

      Definitely. Best captain choice this week !!

    5. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nah. Laca is.

    6. No Salah
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks guys!

      Auba it is!

    7. Any Laporte in a Storm
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Great shout. If I had him, I'd be nervously tempted to do it. Like I am with every captain.

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

    Robertson Captain = 16 points guaranteed

    1. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You reckon he'll get an assist and a yellow card?

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

        6 Cs
        2 bonus
        Total - 8 *2 = 16

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

      Ive read about lpool fullbacks rotation vs soton so not sure about it. Fingers crossed just to have any return from Robbo tbh

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

    Repost

    Patricio
    Robertson - Alonso - W.Bissaka
    Salah - D.Silva - Walcott - Stephens
    Aguero - Firmino - King

    Hamer - Daniels* - Mendy* - Cairney*

    Probably going to WC after this GW.

    A. Daniels* > Doherty. Play Doherty (MUN)
    B. Daniels* > Doherty. Play Stephens (TOT)
    C. Daniels* > A.Smith. Play A.Smith (BUR)

    5. polis

  16. Tmel
    • 13 Years

            2) Rich back straight to XI.

            He's due a blitz.

            Hennessey
            Mendy*-Alonso-Robertson-wanb

            Looking at Mendy and Walcott to Shaw and Richarlison! G2G otherwise? Weak bench, I know!
