    Pogba and Fraser to rich and Maddison for -4?

    1. Bat Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Close one. My gut says go ahead, if it doesn’t pay off it would be by a small margin I imagine

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

      No

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

      Just Pogba > Rich.

      1. Bat Man
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This is good advice

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

          This is good advice also.

    4. ajones1608
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely for me. Imo both Rich & Maddison will outscore Pogba & Fraser

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not worth Fraser to Maddison for -4 bad advice IMO

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pog to rich only

    6. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    7. Yeyeyeyeye
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys gonna do Pogba to rich

  2. ajones1608
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed..

    When Mendy is back..

    A). Trippier, Neves & Mitro

    B). Mendy, Knockaert & Ings

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

      Who knows when he will be back, no need planning for that now imo.

      1. ajones1608
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thing is, if I get Mitrovic that means I won't be able to afford him, so thinking of a route back

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Go for a now and then deal with Mendy return when it happens.
      By that time you might be able to do a straight Trippier to Mendy swap.

  3. Bat Man
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Appreciate any advice on whether this makes sense:
    1 FT
    Ryan Button
    Alonso Mendy WB Bennett Holgate
    Salah Hazard Fraser Kante
    Aguero Lukaku Jiminez

    This week selll Mendy for Doherty and next week go Lukaku to Kane? Will leave me enough to swap Holgate out for someone like TAA whenever I can get a chance, or even take the hit for it.

    Or should I play safe/boring and just sell Mendy for Trippier

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

      Mendy -> Doherty this week makes sense. Think you will be one week late for Kane unless you plan to keep him. I would look at using the cash to get Rob in 2 weeks.

  4. Viper
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah & Zaha - > Maddison & Kane (-4)

    Yay/Nay?

    1. Bat Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sure why not just have a plan to get Salah in again if you want to

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

      Not for me

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes given you are chasing

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nooooo

    5. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No chance I wouldn’t even do it for free

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yay

    7. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

  5. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Play Foster or Fabianski?

    1. Bat Man
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Judging by Fabianski getting many points against Chelsea I don’t see any reason not to play him against a team in worse form

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

        Fab for me. Have Foster also.

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

      Fabski

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

    Any suggestions? 1 FT, 0.5 ITB

    Bego(H)
    Alonso(H) //Robbo(A) //Wan-Bissaka(A)
    Hazard(H) //Mane (A)//DSilva(H) //Richardlison(H) //Fraser(H)
    Aguero(H)//Mitrovic (A)

    Bench: Hamer, King (H), Boly(H), Holebas(A)

    if I save a transfer then, who would you start? pick 3
    A) Robbo (che)
    B) AWB (bou)
    C) Mitro (eve)
    D) King (CRY)
    E) Boly (SOU)

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

      acd

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

        sorry. gotta pick 2 DF

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

      A,c and e

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

        Actually I'd play king over Boly.

  7. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who is going Richarlison (c) over Kun?

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

      I'm 50/50 here.

    2. ajones1608
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me!

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kun (c) easy IMO

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

      Don't overthink it.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not me

    6. child of God
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fpl suicide if you get wrong with kun backed heavily

    7. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just the wrong week for it.

    8. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No way

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

      Why? Are you so far behind you need to take risks already?

    10. stat
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I am. Can't see Kun getting more than 60 mins with City playing in Germany on Tuesday.
        Think both Everton and City will score at least 2 goals but I expect Richarlison to be more heavily involved than Aguero due to the fact that City could easily score a couple of goals after Aguero is subbed off, damaging his chances of picking up bonus points.
        I know that it's a risky week to stray away from Aguero but I'm willing to take that risk. The game wouldn't be fun if it wasn't for risks. 🙂

    11. Aubamewho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Man City midfield replacement for David Silva ?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        David Silva

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Keep for now

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'd keep.

      4. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I wouldn't waste the transfer, you'll just be changing again next week.
        Either stick with one City mid or go for combo of Maddison/Richarlison/Hazard/Fraser/Salah/Mane instead.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          So much this.

      5. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Don’t change. You either pick a Man City midfielder and stick with him or you don’t have one at all.

        Last week many here swapped Bernardo Silva out for David Silva, and look how that turned out.

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

          Now some of them turn back to Bernardo and David starts 😉

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Well yeah, thats his point alright.

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

        Cheers!

    12. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tears of joy when I read this, "Marko [Arnautovic] worked on Wednesday. He worked with the squad, so I think he is 100 per cent fit for tomorrow."
      So many red flags on my team. Even my fodder Stephens is out. Just gotta hang in there till the next int break when I play my wildcard

      1. Bat Man
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Good news

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If your situation is really thy bad why are you waiting?

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

          Exactly this

    13. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Do you think Mane will be benched on Saturday?

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        no

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

        no chance

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

        No

      4. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, what for?

        1. Salah'd n Sauce
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think it is baseless speculation because he wasn't rested mid-week.
          He'll play.

      5. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, he has 92.6% chance to start.

        Klopp has previously said that there will be rotation. If there is going to be rotation this week, who is going to be rotated?!?

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

          Shaqiri may play and they have trained that without Mané this week. Also it was Mané whose attacking stats suffered when Shaqiri was on the pitch. So if one of Salah, Firmino or Mané is at risk, it is likely Mané who has been playing during this week already. Yes, I certainly believe he will start, but there are also warning signs imho.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Guess you're right. Just that everyone else got their rest, exept Mane.

    14. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      So, I've gone with this team:

      Lossl (Hamer)
      Alonso AWB Bennet (Perreira, Mendy)
      Fraser Richarlison DSilva Hazard (Guendouzi)
      Vardy Lacazette Kun(c)

      Problems:

      Obviously the goalkeeping situation is not ideal but lets hope for some save points, eh

      No Liverpool players, I know! - I switched out Mane and Wilson to bring in Richarlison and Vardy for a -4 hit. It may or may not pay off, but fixtures seem to benefit the incoming players.

      Not sure whether to bench AWB or start him.

      Thoughts?

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

        How did you end up with those keepers? I'd start mendy with Awb first sub mate

        1. So Troublesome
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers for that, long story on the keepers and its not a good one.

    15. Albert_Luque
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have 8 players playing each other in two fixtures this week (Liverpool and Chelsea, Palace and Bournemouth). Anyone else in the same position? I can't work out if this is terrible for my team or not.

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

        Pretty terrible.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Bloody awful.

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

        Good news, some of your players should get points!

      4. Max City
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have Salah Milner Robertson Alonso Hazard

        I also have AWB McArthur vs Fraser

        And finally Boly vs Ings

        If I brought Richarlison in then it will be Rich vs Mitrovic

        Shall I quit FPL now?

        1. child of God
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          1-1 is your worst score line this week

      5. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah lots of eggs in a few baskets. And yes it isn't great. Take a diazipam and just ride it through.

      6. child of God
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Terrible situation to be in. Just get your captain choice right and you should be okay

      7. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve got 8 players as well in those 2 games. 2-3 of them will be benched though - depending on Mendy injury

      8. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Free hit?

      9. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        And for most it won’t be much better next week with Pool, City, Wolves-Palace

      10. Albert_Luque
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the responses, it does feel risky. Might just suck it up. Instinctively, both those games feel like they have goals in them, so it might work out okay. Hoping for two 4-4 draws with loads of PVA, Alonso and Robbo assists.

      11. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I understand that it can be difficult to avoid these situations since it is so difficult to know this kind of future fixtures in advance.

    16. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1ft 0.5itb Any changes needed?

      Hennessey
      Alonso Robertson Trippier Laporte Shaw
      Salah Hazard Ramsey
      Aguero(c) Jimenez
      Hamer Ings Billing Mendy(Lei)

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

        Start Mendy with Laporte first sub just incase

    17. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Guys do you think its worth taking Salah out for 3 x GW for Son ?? Salah value dropped to 12.9 so no risk and Son currently 8.3 and could rise and with fixtures....I have no other Spurs

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

        I looked into it but don't think it's worth the transfers.
        Salah can score against anyone and has two great fixtures after his two tough ones.

      2. tvz32
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nope. I wouldn't go near any Spurs player now

      3. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nope.
        Salah will get points in the next two as well. Not worth the transfers, as you won’t even use the extra funds really

    18. LIARS POKER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha -> Lacazette for a 2 week punt before I wildcard?

      I know Zaha has decent fixtures but surely Lacazette outscores him against Watford and Fulham?

      1. So Troublesome
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes go for it.

    19. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Genuinely thinking about bringing Arnie or Yarmolenko

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Those fixtures from GW 10 are very appealing.
        Arnie penciled in for my team if he proves his fitness

        1. Volley127
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Ditto.

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

          Yep my plan is Dilva + Lukaku > Salah + Arnie GW9.

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

      Lol. Kabasele's red turned out better for owners...

      His % Target has been reset to 0% from -33.7% earlier this morning.

      This will be locked for 7 days though, so worse if he hauls I guess as they won't get price increases.

    21. klopp it guys

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years

        Little to none.

    22. gauzah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Waiting for the presser but I am pretty sure I am dropping Mendy for Chillwell.

      It's the only logical way I can get in Richarlison.

      Have 2 FTs. Any other options I should consider

      1. Rupert The Horse

          I have Patricio and Bennet. Don't like the idea of having x3 Wolves

            Fair enough.
            Laporte?

      Would you do:
      Mendy, Mane, Wilson --> Trippier, Richarlison, Laca? (-4)

        Errrrrrmmm... Yeah maybe... I think.

      Regretting my Arnie to Mitro move now. This is why you wait kiddies. School boy error and I will be punished I'm sure

        Yep me too!

        I always wait. Mt TV is never particularly high but there you go.

        You needed Mitro sooner rather than later anyway.

        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mitro can't be considered a bad transfer by any means. If Fulham score you have a 75% chance of him being involved.

          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Makes me feel a bit better. I think Arnie is just unreal. Ah well done now

      5. LSK

        I don’t. Gained team value. Lose Arnautovic for a few games until fixtures turn then swap him back in for King. Mitrovic, Arnautovic, Aguero is what I’m looking at long term.

          Yer the price point is one that allows a straight swap which I did consider . I'll probably do same mate

      A: Plot: Mane > Rich (gives me window to upgrade Laca to Kane in GW8 and get Salah back in for a -4 in GW9)

      B: Keep it simple: Mane to Rich (forget Kane you d1ckhead and you get Salah back in 9 or 10 for Rich/Fraser/Maddison and move Laca on)

      C: Do nothing.

      I've no value tied up in Mane so this could be a straight 2 GW move and then draft in the favourable Lpool mid when the dust settles.

      My mind is saying B but I keep thinking about A.

      1. Regin
        • 8 Years

        B

        I am doing kind of A but without gw9 hit.

      Do you think Son and/or Moura is/are nailed for next 2 gw?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not nailed but close too.

      2. Daghe Munegu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Son more than Moura?

      Expecting Son to start this weekend?
      How did he look against Brighton last week and Watford midweek?

      Just thought that it will be a double blow to Mendy sellers if he is declared fit, even if he doesn't start tomorrow. If the red flag is removed today then he'll go back to 0% from -62.3% towards a fall. His price will be locked for 7 days.

      Even if people then sell him ahead of Liverpool, then these transfers out will be lost and he'll have a much higher chance of remaining 6.3m for the foreseeable future.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not really, it's only 0.1m lost and potential for nice replacements pts. 0.1m is not gonna cost anyone in OR at the end of the season

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

          Of course. I'm just obsessed by value.

          The upside is that if he starts tomorrow megahauls his price won't rise as it will be locked.

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

            tomorrow and*

          2. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Besides, if you buy at 6.3,l and he rises to 6.5m you get your 0.1m you lost back where as the keepers will still only be selling for 6.2m. Either way, it's 0.2m profit on his starting price

      Hello all, after some advice please!

      Team is currently...
      McCarthy
      WanBissaka Alonso Robertson
      Richarlison Hazard Mane DSilva
      Ings Mitrovic Aguero(C)
      Foster - Westwood - Holebas - Mendy

      My question is this...do I go
      Mendy -> Chilwell
      Mane -> Hojberg
      Ings -> Kane for a -8 hit?

      It is a lot but I think Kane will outscore Mané this week and price will only go up! Cheers

    30. CC22

      Mane to Alli or Sterling? Based on the fact I've got no Spurs players, and Aguero already.

    31. wiibrahim
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Worth doing Salah + Ings —> Kane + Richarlison for a (-4)(

    32. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A. Knockaert and Mitrovic
      B. Schurrle and Murray

        A

    33. Tibbs
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts?

      a) Mendy + Wally >>> Trippier + Rich (for free)
      b) One of those transfers and roll 1FT
      c) those transfers plus Pereyra >>Fraser (-4)

      If keeping Pereyra (ars), play him or AWB (bou)?
