    Hamer - AWB - Stephens* - Peltier*

    Any of these -4's a good option?
    A. Peltier and Pogba to Richarlison and Trippier.
    B. Salah and Ings to Kane and Richarlison.
    C. Salah and Stephens to Sane and Richarlison

    Both for a hit. But will probably wildcard after next 2.

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A or B look ok

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

        It's one of those weeks where you save or take a hit. I'm torn between B and nothing really.

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

      Thoughts on benching one of Robbo or Alonso? Both always have potenrial of attacking returns even if clean sheet inlikely.

      My other option is Bennett but that would mean Wolves double up in defence.

      Thoughts?

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

        Reply fail. A looks good to me and bench AWB. Butbtuats probably because I hate Pogba in FPL

  3. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Good to go, or should I bench any of these for Jimenez (SOU)? Perhaps Fraser (CRY)?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Doherty, Trippier
    Hazard, Maddy, Mane, Pog, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic

    4.0; Jimenez, Wan-B, Robbo

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure who but I’d this not a great fixture for both Jimenez and Fraser??

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nasty decision. Pogba or Fraser. Personally think you have it right.

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

      Same dilemma. Currently on Jimi, but may well bring Fraser back in before dealine. Knowing recent gameweeks, one of my other players won't play and both will endvuo being in your starting 11

  4. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves double up with Patricio and Bennett or play AWB?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My dilemma too... sorry no help to you

    3. Camzy

      Do you think WOL will keep a clean sheet vs SOU more or CPL vs BOU away? It's really that simple.

  5. istanbul05
    • 12 Years

    Leaning towards B here. Thoughts?

    A) Save FT
    B) Mane to Richarlison
    C) Pickford to Patricio

    Pickford,
    Robertson, Alonso, Bennett,
    Salah, Mane, B Silva, Fraser,
    Kun, Zaha, Ings.

    Stek, AWB, Stephens, Mendy

    • 12 Years

    Mitrovic-Lukaku-Aguero-Maddison, all four of them have great reasons to be my captain this week... any thoughts on taking the armband off Aguero?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A because of next week, I think

  10. JoeJitzu +42

  14. Willos Wanderers
    • 11 Years

    Wildcard - G2G?

    Patricio
    Alonso Trippier Robertson
    Haz Richarlison Maddison Fraser
    Kun (c) Kane (vc) Mitrovic

    Bennet Hojberg WBA

    Have been toying with playing Bennet (SOU) and benching Robertson. Would this be madness?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play Robbo

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

    Triple captain aguero?

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

      not jet

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me

  16. Killug
    • 8 Years

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years

      Toe to toe,,,,,superb match up....

  19. SALVA
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Should I transfer Mendy or VVD out?

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

    Still holding Moura and thinking I should have transferred him to Richarlison

    Wondering whether to just follow the flock

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

      If it was for free then yeah but if not, just ride it out.

      1. MDK
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It'd be for free, just worried as you are that it's a sideways move

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

    Kun and Kane.

    Which to captain?

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

      'And' was meant to be 'or'. Still fuzzy.

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

      Kun

    3. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      kane

  22. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve decided to keep Mendy, save FT and use my bench (SOU, WOL) for 2 weeks...

    Next week:
    Aguero > Kane (c) for 1 week punt and reverse it the week after while still having 2FT’s

    Thoughts lads?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Better tactic than the Salah removal imo.
      Although your going to lose a little value in Aguero but points over value.

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have Mendy from the start, after his price drop to 6.3 no rush for me to sell, just annoyed at Pep's vague comments - just tells us Pep you muppett !!

    Hey Mods, when you click on "Captain Sensible Article" it brings you to GW6's CSA article.

  24. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo do you like ?

    A
    TAA Doherty Duffy* AWB Bennett
    Hazard* Salah Fraser Richy

    B
    Trippier* TAA Doherty AWB Bennett
    Son* Salah Fraser Ritchy

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

    Play Cook (CPA) or AWB (bou)?

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

      Tough one. Home advantage...

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cook

  26. BlueEddy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Good morning all!
    I think I must still be drunk from last night but I am leaning towards benching Mane and playing Danny Ward of Cardiff. Mane has been pretty quiet the last couple of games and didn’t do anything against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and that was at home. Danny Ward is at home against Burnley. Any thoughts?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

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

        No? As in don't do it? Or no I'm not crazy?

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

      Stop drinking. You're hurting yourself and others.

  27. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Out of topic question,
    There's always 1 FT next week after using wildcard.
    Is it the same appeal for TC and BB?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No. You can save FTs with BB & TC. FH & WC only one transfer after use.

    Worth taking a hit to get rid of schlupp and cairney?...sick of the sight of em

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

      Cairney is nearly ready to play again. Might even be today. Schlupp could be a dead duck, but not for a hit.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        How can a dead duck not be worth a hit.....non scoring liability who will only go down on price

  29. Scotty B
