    Any reason why I shouldn't bring in Vardy?

    1. ameenkw
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      None .. should be good for next few gws

    2. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He's a racist chav

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Harsh.
        I don't think he is either of these things.

        1. Rik Waller
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Defo chav. Racist harsh yeh, but that whole "jap" moment did not look good

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

      I've been thinking the same, but decided to wait until he performs. Those fixtures are looking great..

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

      Only reason is that cheaper options are performing, but it's not a bad move

  2. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    If you've got Salah, Mane and Aguero who do you captain? I'm having last minute doubts.

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

      El Kun

    2. ameenkw
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      salah playing home with gd stats

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

      I’m on Salah now, but can change anytime

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

      Kun - new contract and after loosing in cl I think city will be brutal

    5. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Salah

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

      Go Aggy.

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

    Captain who?

    1) Salah
    2) Aguero
    3) Mitrovic
    4) Zaha

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      2

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You'd be brave to go with 3 or 4. I'm wavering between Salah and Mane at the moment.

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Salah

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

      1 or 3 if you're feeling fruity

    5. Brazooka
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      2. Maybe 4.

  4. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Best cheapo GK pair in wc in your opinion?

    1. SUK MATIP
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Ederson Allison

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Did they both drop by a mil overnight?

    2. Pass
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I am on Palace - Fulham

  5. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    A) Peltier > 5m defender (-4)
    B) Start Camarasa (no hit)

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

      B

    2. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

    Own Salah Hazard and Kun and am completely torn.

    Do we think the best course of action for a weekend where I don't severely regret decisions is Hazard (C) knowing if one of the others haul then I'll still see points

    1. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve gone for Salah, great record against Southampton and I think hazard gets most of his hauls at home.

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

        This

    2. ESilva23
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Have the same issue and biggest challenge in my mini league has Hazard but neither of the others so have been tempted to captain Haz for safety sake all week. I'm putting the band back on Salah though and hoping this is the get right game to make good on all his positive stats so far.

  7. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    And it’s SALAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

    He seals his hatrick.

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

      That's so last season

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Today it begins again

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

      Crisis! What crisis!!

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

      This is the dream

  8. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

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

    Worth a hit?

    1. riccorich
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on your bench..

    2. SUK MATIP
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      stretch for Vardy if you can

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

      Nah, only do Mendy > Trip

  9. Genji3lade
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    is B.Silva > Sterling (-4) madness?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No need

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

      It is. Bilva scored midweek..

  10. Zizou
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I have fraser already so wilson/King as my 3rd fwd or ings/jimenez

    1. WayneKumar
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      ingz

  11. Deulo10
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Planning on having both Fraser and Richarlison by next GW. Who to get first this GW?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser

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

      Fraser, See How Richa performs.

    3. jernej93
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser

    4. stat
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison. Talk is he might start up front instead of Tosun... also he's up against Bellerin. Arsenal are not going to sit back.

      • wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison

      • WayneKumar
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        richie

      • Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Same situation here and went for fraser

    5. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Should i start Holebas or Mendy->Trippier(-4)?]

      1. Deulo10
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I would start Holebas

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I’m starting Holebas

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

      Mkhi to Richarlison or Ramsey?

      1. Deulo10
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison

      2. jernej93
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richy or Maddison

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

        ramsey could be a differential

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

        Rich

    7. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      1st sub

      A- Pedro

      B- AWB

      (mendy bench wankery)

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

        Awb

    8. jernej93
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Which transfer to do?

      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. WayneKumar
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        i made the pedro - maddi move today

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

      My midfield
      Salah-Mane-Fraser-Neves-Bilva

      I can swap Bilva for a -4 to any mid up to £9.2m.
      A) Pogba
      B) Richarlison
      C) Dilva
      D) other

      1. Cadenza
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Why would you swap Bilva now? Was City's best player in the midweek, and should start again. DSilva just as likely to be rotated imo.

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

          Thanks for the advice! I guess I got a bit fixated on him not starting and hadn't considered that he was perhaps the best player midweek. I kept in the end and did Mendy>Pereira for -4 instead. My bench is Neves,Bennett,Kamara so really didn't want to end up with two of them coming in. Good luck with the gw

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

        Definetly not worth a hit to get rid of Bilva this week

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

          Thanks, kept in the end

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        more like Lunch Club

    10. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Not the most important I know but play 2 for Draft?

      Tosun
      B. Silva
      Rose

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

        Definitely Bilva. Probably Rose with him.

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Beaten by a nose... 😉

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

          HEH HEH

    11. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Is Aub worth captaining over Salah or Aguero or is that just madness?

      1. SUK MATIP
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        put on a stray jacket...

        1. Wolfman180
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That would stop me from changing anything so probs not a bad idea

      2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        im giving him a chance too

      3. Jealous Viper
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        A good differential but not sure its worth the risk this early

    12. Paanmonkey
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That’s it !!!! I’m done ! KUN it is for the amrband ! cheers guys

    13. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Start Hart (BOU) or Foster (ful)?
      I’m leaning towards Hart for save points. Thanks

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

        Hart imo

    14. Nüno Vippan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yedlin or Dummet? I havent watched Newcastle this season yet.

      1. jernej93
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yedlin

    15. RomeluStormzy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mane, Aguero or hazard (c)?

      1. Paanmonkey
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Kun

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

        Aguero

    16. Shultan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Why are people thinking mendy will be back soon?
      Last season pep was coy bout sterlings injury & i remember losing out by keeping him

    17. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      ditch neves or masuaku(sub fodder) for richarlison?

    18. Wayne8
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Should i bring in
      A - Maddison
      B- Dilva?

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

        Madd

    19. mundian
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hen
      Luiz Bissaka Robbo
      Haz Bilva Mane Fraser Pereyra
      Aguero (C) King

      Fab Arnie Mendy Peltier

      Would you change substitutes?

    20. Genji3lade
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      People expecting B.Silva to start?

      1. Kellz86
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        That's my confusion right now, seems he's been preferred but no one is safe from Pep rotation. I only have him in draft but considering playing Rose over him.

    21. bluesone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Replacement for Mkhi;
      A)Maddison
      B)Richarlison,
      C)Or other suggestions?

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

        Richarlison or fraser
