    Laca instead of Mitro is blocking Bilva to Haz move. Doesn't feel like ditching Laca. (or other premier players to get Haz)

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego

      Can't have them all! 🙂

  2. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah Arnie > Kane Fraser ???
    Rank is around 600

    Have Richarlison and Maddison already so if Fraser the best option under 7.4m?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good to me

    2. EMERGING STAR
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If that move works out you will be in top 100 or 200. But risky

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would not do it long-term, but could work of for the next 2-3 weeks

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah planning to get Salah/Mané back around gw9 and Arnie around 10/11

    4. NWA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      if there is a week to do it its this one....

    5. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Id do it

      Yes

    6. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doing the same move, but have Fraser, Rich, and Hazard as rest of mid, would you bring Madison for two week or there is better option for just next 2 weeks, someone like Ramsey?

    7. Home Late From Age
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes for 2-3 GWs

    8. _Make
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      LOL rank is irrelevant.

      Yes if you don't have Aguero and/or a suitable captain for this week.

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Rank is most definitely important for transfers. If I were 500k I’d make this move no questions asked

  3. Pascal's Triangle
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do Ramsey to Rich for a -4?

    Worried that the contract pull could have a negative impact and Rich looked decent last game

    Reposted as bottomed.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years

      Yes deffo

        Yesterday

        1. Ready Player One
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Any talk of Moura starting due to Eriksen issue??

          Thanks in advance

          1. Adz87
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Nah none just that Erikson was out

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

      Anyone tempted to (c) Pogba? I have points to spare in the mini leagues that matter, any everyone is captaining Agüero. Or else they ghost shipped with Kane.

      Good post. Thanks! 🙂

  5. Gearoid

    GTG? Bench order ok?

    Ederson
    Robertson Alonso Bennett
    Salah Hazard Maddison Richarlison
    Ings Mitrovich Aguero

    Stek AWB Mee Stephens

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd have Mee ahead of AWB think Bournemouth quite likely to score at home.

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, looks good

  6. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Mané -> Haz
    B) Bilva -> Richarlison
    C) Mane -> Richarlison
    D) Save FT

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A is more tempting if VVD is a doubt. Wouldn't do B this, should be very likely to start.

    2. Pascal's Triangle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Long term B, Rich the main man, nailed and may even play as striker

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Will do it eventually

    3. Home Late From Age
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A now and Hazard in for next GW

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You mean B/C? A is Haz in

  7. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Play one:

    A) PVA
    B) AWB

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Im playing

      Awb 2nd sub after robbo

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Playing pva*

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      pva

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, doing the same last GWs but always AWB outscored PVA, will keep doing that 😀

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      AWB, obviously better in BAPS

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I dont see a CS so would go for the most attacking of the 2 i.e PVA

    What are your thoughts?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mitro hatty

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Moura brace when most have ruled him out now and are getting rid

    3. All about the Mané
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez

  9. Home Late From Age
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What's your choice for this Arsenal-Newcastle mix?

    A. Bellerin and Yedlin
    or
    B. Monreal and Fernandez

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cant u do monreal and yedlin?

      1. Home Late From Age
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That would be my choice, but I can't by 0.1

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Ahhhh.. frustrating

          Has to be A then

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would go A, then. Bellerin pretty nailed.

  10. cjk17
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If I have 2 FTs to use and play my wildcard will I still have them the following week or does the wildcard wipe them out? Cheers

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wipes out

      Back to 1

    2. livingbeetroot
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      There needs to be a safety feature on the game if you try to wildcard with 2 free transfers.

      Are you sure?

      Maybe with an explanation of basic strategy.

  11. Pellegrini Falcon
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Patricio
    PvA WB Alonso Robbo
    Salah Mane Fraser DSilva
    Kun Ings

    Button Mendy Stephens Kamara

    Ings and Mane to Mitro and Rich for -4?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rash

      Maybe just mane > richa for free

      1. Pellegrini Falcon
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm perhaps it is hasty yeah, Mitrovic is tearing it up though so it's really tempting

  12. All about the Mané
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    This has been the toughest GW to pick my team yet and taken a -4pt hit. Also with Chelsea vs Liverpool I just feel that the reds could be beaten at Stanford Bridge
    Transfers went...
    Mendy>Walker
    Ings>Jimenez

    Is my team GTG?

    Begovic
    Alonso | Bennett | Walker
    Ramsey | Dilva | Lingard | Hazard
    Mitrovic | Aguero(v) | Jimenez(c)

    Hamer | Wan-Bas | Mané | TAA

    1. Webbinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez capt? We are bad, but not that bad 🙂

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You've conceded 9 goals and looked pretty poor defensively with Liverpool and Brighton. I feel that will continue.... Wolves will create a few chances. Sorry

    2. samaael
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      why ppl getting rid of Ings?

      1. Pellegrini Falcon
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Fixtures stiffening, only 2 of the next 6 look favourable

      2. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Gained £0.1m with transfer and Wolves have favourable fixtures over Southampton

    3. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Amongst the tough GW you have gone Jimenez cpt? LOL

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Gained 112 points so far with Captain choice in last 5 game weeks 😉

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          'Gained' in relation to what? The most popular captain pick?

          1. All about the Mané
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Gained as in contributed well to the 422 points so far with Captains giving 26% of my total. Picking Mitrovic early before the bandwagon helped boost me up over others who went the same old way

        2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I've 'gained' 92 points so far. And my captain picks have been largely awful.

    4. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez (C) is a good way to lose unnecessary ranks. Too early in the season for punts even if he could do v well verse saints

    5. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve been mulling over a -4 for Jimenez all week for the dud Kamara, have exact funds, your confidence in him might make my decision easier, I think he could be the next bandwagon

      1. All about the Mané
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Good to see positive comments. Always go with your gut PODFFS

    6. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Playing with fire if you are gonna bench 2 players from the league leaders against anybody

    7. livingbeetroot
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play your own game. It’s fun, not admin. I like a gut captain, often that’s the herd pick but what have you got to lose? Agüero could get hauled off on 58 with Champions League in mind

  13. Webbinho
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Should I pull the trigger for -4?

    Mendy, Hazard, Ings -> Dummett, Knockhaert, Kane.

    Would give me:

    Fabianski (Hennesey)
    Doherty, Alonso, Robertson (Dummett, AWB)
    Knock, Salah, Fraser, Walcott (Hughes)
    Kane, Aguero, Mitrovic

    1. samaael
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      no way

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No.

      Wouldn't drop Hazard for a hit, and would leave your midfield far too weak

    3. Pellegrini Falcon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why sell Hazard? I'm sure you intended for him to be in your team long term

      1. Webbinho
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I think its just the Kane Cardiff fear. I think I'll leave it and just do Walcott -> Richarlison.

        Cheers guys.

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    5. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      if you like red arrows go ahead

  14. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Worth a -4 guys ?

    Currenty own Salah / Mane / Robertson

    Mane & Ings >>>> Richarlison & Mitrovic ??

    Thanks.

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    2. Webbinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think so

  15. domadilla
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a WC, sitting OR 100k, will this team move the needle:

    Hart Foster
    Trippier Laporte Doherty AWB Duffy
    Sane Rich Maddison Gudmundsson Knockaert
    Lacazatte Kane (c) Aguero

    I think midfield is light but the next two fixtures aren't great for the big teams. Thoughts welcome.

    1. Webbinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Benching headaches...

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would look to downgrade Lacazette to bring a better(more safe) pick then Sane to be honest, other than that, very good team.

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Put Mitro in for Laca and ugrade 4th mid or Trippier to Alonso. Would likely have TAA as he presents excellent value.

      Sane only in if Mendy out long term

    4. domadilla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for the feedback.

  16. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    which combo would you favour for the next two weeks:

    A:
    gw7: Doherty (SOU) + Salah + Richarlison + Zaha + Kun (c)
    gw8: Awb (WOL) + Salah + Richarlison + Zaha + Kane (c)

    B:
    gw7 and 8: Trippier + Ramsey + Richarlison + Kane (gw8 cpt) + Kun (gw 7 cpt)

  17. Lignja
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which mid for next two games only as part of Kane/Salah move, have Rich, Fraser and Hazard? I know most prefer Madison but I think Newcastel will win game finally so any other option was thinking Ramsey but that contact thing is bugging me.

  18. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bit of a benching headache here. Who do I bench out of these 3?

    1. TAA v che (A)
    2. AWB v bou (a)
    3. Ings v wol (a)

    1. Webbinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Even with Alonso & Hazard?

  19. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Given the Ramsey news what do people think about whether he will play this weekend?

    1. Podorsky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What news?

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Contract negotiations have broken down

      2. A.T
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He hasn’t signed a contract and looks like he’s leaving next summer. I very much doubt it’ll curtail his playing time until at least the January transfer window.

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's a tough one.. I don't think he'll be frozen out of the team completely and given he got 2 assists last GW, he's bound to feature. Whether it will be as a sub, with Mkhi or maybe Iwobi starting ahead of him, is too hard to tell.

    3. Pascal's Triangle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I am worried, considering Rich in for a -4

  20. fabiolanzoni
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah, Moura, Mitro -> Hazard, Mane, Jimenez +0,5

    Yes or no?

    (the latter also enables an easier bench option in Jimenez, but leave team without Spurs-players)

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would leave Moura for now, considering Eriksen is injured. And why would you bring in Mane now, seeing how they are playing Chelsea and City.

      4-4 incoming

    2. _figu

        ahhh

  22. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Had planned to go Kane but the Pogba shenanigans might force me into a midfield transfer instead.
    Would be up to 9.5, but I'm thinking Richarlison or Spurs mid. Best option?
    A) Alli
    B) Son
    C) Moura
    D) Avoid - concentrate on Richarlison.

    Stick or twist on David Silva? And who for? 🙂

      I think this GW will be his last for me, plenty of other mid priced mid options like Maddison/Fraser/Rich

    Being a bit bold with my transfers and captaincy is working for me so far this season, but is this a bit too unorthodox...?

    2FT;
    Laca & Mane >> Kane & Richarlison.

      For free I'd be tempted.

      I've just done Salah + Ings > Kane + Rich (to complete Mane/Hazard/Maddison/Mitro/Aguero).

      Feels good (a departure from my Salah Salah Salah mantra to this point). With Kane and Salah still at near enough their start price it doesn't feel like much of tough decision reversible in a few weeks.

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      is arnie fit to play?

      1. joeydelucchi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        not sure, i was thinking arnie but with utd in crisis he could really do some damage!

        i guess i need to keep an eye out if hes fit.

          1. altan8797
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            wilson or fraser then

      Cripes. Arnie or one of the Bournemouth players. Gulp.

      This is why you don't have 8 to choose from. Hashtag:always picka4.5mid/fwd

        this is exactly what i was thinking, its my first time that i am still not too keen yet on any big strikers so i have managed to spread the funds (owning just sal and haz)...however im now thinking i will downgrade moura to hughes who i can happily bench and try to fit vardy in for 1 of the strikers because 8 to choose from each week is a headache!

          Well, my 5th mid (my 8th attacker) Westwood came on for the first time last week, mainly due to a poor decision to bring in Pereira, who then didn't play.

          9/10 your 8th attacker won't make it onto the pitch.

    What would you prefer?

    1) Be dullard - play Neves or AWB

    2) Play risky and buy/play Trippier (-4?)

    1. RustyBz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would you be happy with Trippier getting 6 points? If so, stick with 1 (AWB)

      1. Winter_is_coming
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can see Trippier score enough points in next 2 gameweeks, something like 6+10 or 10+6 🙂

      For a hit I'd say 1 all day.

  27. Yoyoyoman

    Start:

    Ings

    or

    AWB

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ings

    2. RustyBz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      AWB

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      awb

  28. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    All for a -4

    A Luk & Mendy > Kane & Alex-Arn
    B Luk & Mendy > Kane & Vertong
    C Luk & Mane > Kane & Alli/Sane
    D Luk & Mane > Alli/Salah & Vardy

    If I do D I can do Alli > Salah in 2 weeks

    So I guess most people have plans about bringing in taa or robbo after GW8. But what do you guys think about the rotation risks? They have a tuff champions league fixture. Cheers

      I think the fear of rotation is massively overrated on this site. Sure it will happen but it will be very,very occasionally.

    Best use of 1FT (assuming Mendy is out, AWB first sub):

    A. Pedro >> Richarlison
    B. Mendy >> Trippier
