      • 9 Years

      Wouldnt like 3x 4,0ish players in defence personally, but not bad concidering.

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

      Benalouane won't ever play, so you have a two person bench and a weakish one at that.

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

    Play AWB or Holebas (playing Hennessey)

    1. Man Getting Hit By Football
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I don't have Hennessey but am playing AWB and benching Holebas.

  5. Bialystrzelec

    Sane or D. Silva on WC?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Sane for me

    2. Geezer
      • 13 Years

      Dilva

    3. GianniBanani

      Neither

    4. Meinhoff

      Both

    5. Cabellafan

    6. Pinturicchio10

    7. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years

      Chaps,

      Sorry been away. Is Mendy long term injury? What are holders that got him at £6m.

      Thanks

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

        I'd say at least two weeks. Got rid.

      2. Geezer
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Most on here think it’s short term. But my bench is week so I’m selling for a hit

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Holding, but if I had ft and a better team would sell.

        • GianniBanani
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Waiting for a free transfer and then decide before second price drop (from 6.4 to 6.3) and living a dream that Pep will give some info tonight

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

          Medically, bruised metatarsal can take from 2 weeks to 3 months to heal, so it a big range of uncertainty. Conspiracy theorists are saying it might not be an actual injury, though...

        • BadgersBoys
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Jafooli will tell you.

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

          Gone for Trippier

        • Midlands Saint73
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Was on WC so sold assuming out for 2 GW's

      4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Liverpool and Chelsea and Man City are going to share goals depressingly this week. Shaqiri off the bench to assist Milner or something similar is on the cards.

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

          I'm game. Milner pen is perfect hehe.

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

            + Salah 2 goals

      5. Siggy in the Middle
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Torn between the captain choices

      6. oedyb22
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        A) Mendy -> Trippier (and play W Hughes for Ings)
        B) Mendy/Ings -> Chilwell/Mitrovic -4

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

        Any recent consensus regarding the Salah vs Aguero captaincy?

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

          Don’t think so. Still chaos.

        2. Iceball
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          No and even Hazard. But Salah(C) here

          1. Lord.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Me too - always the plan and no point overthinking it.

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

          Aguero is a better option, but if you have Salah is hard not support him

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

        Play

        A) Højbjerg

        B) Pedro ?

        C Mitrovic Ozil

        1. Totalfootball

        2. Brazooka
          • 11 Years

      11. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Pedro and Arnie

        Pereyra and Laca

        Worth a -8?

      12. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years

        Foster
        Alonso AWB Robertson Mendy*
        Salah (c) Hazard Fraser Maddison
        Aguero Zaha

        Fabianski Ings Camarasa* Peltier

        Have Mendy in the lineup just in case the rumours are true, but if he doesn't play Camarasa will come in

        Have no FTs left (£1.1m ITB)

        Billing first playing on the bench. Would you ship Mendy > Shaw, or Bilva > Fraser to fund Hazard next week. Or Save?

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

        I am bringing Fraser in this week, but the question is, should i bring him in for Walcott or Pedro?

        If he plays, I fancy Pedro more. If he doesn't, my bench is weak. What do you think?

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
