    Cutting it fine with the Breakfast Club scoutcast Men ... (What time do they usually do it BTW?)

      Thoughts on Mendy to Walker for a -4?

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sideways given Mendy will probably be back soon

      2. Big Ping
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        For free it's fine, not sure about the hit.

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

      A) Mitrovic & Fraser
      B) Wilson & Maddison

      Appreciate the help,

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

      Two options:

      Mendy to Trippier (-4)
      Play Bennett (mun)

      Already on a -4...

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

        Play Bennet

      2. Gonna mesut up
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Take the -4 I’d say. Makes your gw more fun

      3. Top 210 Club
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'm not going - 4, u would need Cs and goal to justify

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

        Play Bennett and then do the transfer next gw. Otherwise Trippier will have to get a clean sheet AND an attacking return for you to benefit from the transfer. While it could happen it's not likely

    5. Gonna mesut up
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      On a wc and would love some help. Should I prioritize
      A) Mitrovic
      B) Richarlison

      Last decisions are always the hardest on wc.

      Rich or Madds and why?

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

        Rich becuase Everton is overrated

        1. Twisted Saltergater

          Eh?

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

        Richarlison is a better player

    7. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Last dilemma fellas.

      Ederson + Shaw vs

      Patricio + Trippier

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

        B

      2. The consensus
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        B
        But would prefer pat+shaw and uppgrade elsewjere

    8. COYS.
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Need help guys
      A) Arnie + Mkhi out for Wilson + Richarlison/Moura (-4)
      Or
      B) Mkhi to Richarlison

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’d just do B

    9. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Worth doing Ings to Jiminez for free? Otherwise it’s play Kevin McDonald and have no bench. Could alternatively do Peltier to Bennett and play him?

      Slim pickings.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Currently on Jimbo

        I would with SOU next

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe ride it. Jimenez is good option stats wise however I saw his history he isn't that much profilic goalscorer

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

        Sell Peltier, he doesnt play. Ings does.

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

          This.

      4. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks both

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

        Sounds OK to me. Decent fixtures for a few weeks coming up too.

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

        Peltier needs sorting out anyway.

    10. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Will Mane start? Shaq a threat?

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

        Both Mane and Salah at risk. You have to accept it or get rid of this two

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

          😀

    11. FPL Ultras
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Can anyone see Aubameyang scoring 2+ goals?

      I have also Hazard, Mane and Aguero but I am captaining Auba. Thoughts?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Im captaining auba

        I am pretty nervous not to cap kun though

        He doesnt usually go this many games without scoring plus just signed a new contract

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Speak of the man.

      2. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Needed a little bit of persuasion by FPL Guru but I'm back on Auba (c)

        https://ibb.co/kYNBhU

        Lets do this.

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Haha i am bricking it now

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Haha it's all good. I like that it's the very last game on Super Sunday. Always seem to do well with Sunday fixtures.

    12. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Best option here, Ings or Jiménez?

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

        Ings after this gw

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Why so? Scout stats back Jimbo to outperform him

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

            Has been scoring goals and had a lot of shots attempt

      2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Leaning to Juminez due to fixtures. Stats are similar, and he also plays this week

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          That was my thinking

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

        Both decent. Ings on pens.

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Jim might be.. but it is a question mark

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

            Neves is the pen taker for Wolves.

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

      Got a very weak bench.
      Mendy to Smalling for a hit?
      Yay or nay?

    14. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Which duo please?

      A). Trent & Maddison
      B). Cedric & Salah

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

        B no doubt

      2. WayneKumar
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        100% A

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

        I have A.

        I want to know this too

      2. Whazza

      What do you guys think of starting breakfast club by 11am next time ?!

    17. Olee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott+Mendy to Richarlison+Shaw?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Wally might produce against Arsenal

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

          Imo Richarlison is way more likely to bang vs afc

    18. WayneKumar
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      start schurrle or ali?
      start wilson or madison?

      W)ard (MCI)
      D)oherty (mut)

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

        Ward - City tend to concede a consolation goal so far this year

      2. WayneKumar
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        ward

      3. Pass
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ward

    20. jernej93
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pedro - > Maddison
      Kamara - > Mitrovic
      Cedric - > Alonso

      Or play free hit? I have Ings, Mendy, Kamara and Pedro.. I could end up with 10 players

      1. ameenkw
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        looks good

    21. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Really, really stuck for my captain this week. Salah or Aguero? I have changed so many times so far this week.......

      1. ameenkw
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Salah playing home

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          But may be rotated!

      2. Jealous Viper
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Toughest choice so far this season. Home factor just pushes it to Salah for me. Don't see how Klopp benches him. Needs confidence but set aguero vc

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Currently on the other way round but had it like that most of the week. I am concerned he may not play and if he does play, his goal scoring form hasn't been great.

      3. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Been on Salah all week and refuse to change now. All depends on whether Klopp rotates Salah

      4. the sultan
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        keep your faith with salah

      5. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'm going to captain Salah, makes it easier for me to get rid next week when he inevitably let's me down

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Hahahah hadn't though of that. He is actually a bit of a differential in my leagues so just having him may be good actually. The tough bit is if he scores - do I sell for Hazard as I planned or not?

          1. Wolfman180
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Probably all depend on how he scores, if he scores a wonder goal or at least through some skill then I'd hold but if it's a tap in or a fluky goal then I'd be tempted to still swap for Hazard if Hazard does well again

    22. Weasel51
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy + Ings >> Trippier + Wilson (-4)..

      Yes or no?

      1. ameenkw
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mendy to tripp and keep ings

    23. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Who's the cap folks? Sticking strongly with salah and having faith

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

        With you on that

    24. comeonspurs

      IS mendy definately out .... I’m suspicious , I may play him anyway , any thoughts

      1. stat
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Starting him in case Pep was trolling

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

          Don't think Pep will field an injured player

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

          I'm starting him. AWB only gives points from the bench anyway!

        2. Zladan

          Hamer. Then get Patricio points off the bench on Sunday night.

        First bench spot?

        A) AWB - Home to Newcastle

        B) Holebas - Away at Fulham

        Cardiff conceded 4 and 3 goals in the last two outings. Aguero returns surely?

        Need some help lads, wildcarding.
        A - Salah, Maddison and Zaha/Wilson
        B - DSilva, Mané and Lacazette

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

          A for me, but prefer richarlison to maddison

          1. Cadenza
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Zaha or Wilson?
