    Got 9 players from 4 teams playing against each other and bench players do not look appealing to give them a start either. anyone got more? Not looking too good tbh.

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Arrow is for later, my face is already red 😛 not being able to decide the formation ( Will it be a snooze fest or a goal fest, play more defenders or forwards? The struggle is real 😀

    2. Do I Not Like Orange

      • 13 Years

      Entire first XI is involved in 4 games:

      Patricio/Doherty vs Ings
      Salah/Mane/Robbo vs Alonso

          Sorry, somehow forgot captain Kun as the odd man out! AWB first sub.

    1. Holmes

    GTG?

    Hart
    Laporte Alonso Bennett

    Etheridge Mane AWB Robertson

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would switch robo to Alonso, Liverpool will escape with a clean sheet today

    2. Jaunty Jonty
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bench mane?? Surely not

      1. gunner1994
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Who would you bench in place of him?

        1. Jaunty Jonty
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Jiminez
          Chelsea haven’t kept a clean sheet in weeks

          1. Jaunty Jonty
            • 15 Years

            Except last week but yknow

  5. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    This front 4 good enough to score 3 or 4 past huddersfeild ?

    Kane
    Son Moura Lamela

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only need one to score the 3 or 4 😉

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

        Lamela?

    2. Jerry Big Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah think so

  6. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Saw a stat that liverpool hadn’t conceded a goal at Anfield since February, bench your pool towels at your own peril

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They're playing at Stamford Bridge.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Other than the fact they are playing at the bridge

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      they are playing away?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        🙁

    4. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Meant it to say their defense was strong, could’ve afforded to use a better example :/

    5. Jaunty Jonty
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol that went badly

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sigh, everyone just bench Robertson morata hatty incoming now

        1. Jaunty Jonty
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard special again 😉

    6. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Nice try

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

      Hulk this so it can be used as evidence as to why we need a delete post button. 🙂

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Play one this week. Patricio in goal.

    A. Bennett
    B. Awb
    C. Holebas

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years

  8. jomikijiq
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan
    Alonso, Monreal, Jonny
    Salah, Hazard, Moura, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic

    Button, Mendy, AWB, Kamara

    1 FT, .4 itb

    My preferred Mendy replacement is TAA, whom I would bench in the next two anyway. Makes sense to wait on that transfer, right?

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

      I am exactly the same
      I am waiting for a price change to be likely and then I will make the transfer

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

    Cairney to moutinho

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

      ?

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cairney to mourinho is better

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

      Not for me. Very sideways.

  10. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can't decide who to bench! Help!

    A) Wilson (CRY)
    B) Fraser (CRY)
    C) Mane (che)
    D) Maddison (new)

    Thanks lads.

  11. ChadW98
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Start Zaha or Fraser

    1. Jaunty Jonty
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zaaha

    2. sunzip14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser

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

    Is Sane worth a gamble ?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes as soon as Mandy is out

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      prefer sterling if you can stretch to him

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

        Unfort cant afford Sterling

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yep. The only problem being is he out when Mendy's in, and when will that be?

      • Demel
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. But it is still a gamble (however it could pay off and would be a huge differential if it did).

      • Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I got him in last week, now tempted to get Sterling too. 3.7% and 4.7% ownerships playing Brighton at etihad...

    4. Jerry Big Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah -----> Moura?

      Madness? Or clever?

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Clever madness

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

        madness

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

        people are getting rid of Moura. crazy.

    5. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Pedro dropped? Grrrr

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years

          no?

        Dilva —> Son worth my FT?

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

          Can be good but also risky if Dilva is in the starting 11

      • Jaunty Jonty
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kepa

        Drop alonso for bennet?

      • sunzip14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        3 to start from the following 5 who are facing each other.

        1) Wan-B
        2) Luiz
        3) Tomkins
        4) Cook
        5) Robertson

      • LD
        • 8 Years

        Collingwood blew a 5 goal lead...

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

          he is a cricketer, cant expect much....

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

            But you can expect better from an AFL club

      • Oggle22
        • 9 Years

        1. Jaunty Jonty
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Play shaw personally

          1. Oggle22
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Over who? If Stones plays he more than likely gets a clean sheet but could only play 15mins and a 1 pointer!

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

          Play Deeney bench WB

          1. Oggle22
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Reckon he’s capable of doing bits against Arsenal? Tempted to play Deeney and Shaw now instead of AWB and maybe Stones?

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

          Bench AWB this week. Just cause Bournemouth blanked last week doesn't mean they'll blank this week.

          1. Oggle22
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Your good shout and I have Fraser sonwill be wanting him to score! I thought I was sorted

      • Regin
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I was considering a free hit this week, but will likely use it next week with liv vs MaN city. And easy home game for spurs vs hud and manu vs Newcastle. Have triple city and mone from spurs, manu. And rotation won't be there before int. Break.

        1. Jaunty Jonty
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Interesting shout actually

        2. Peter Ouch
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Hold you hit for the double gw at the end

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

            Last year I did that. Only for several players not playing twice in the dgw. Had a terrible free hit in gw34 last year.

        3. Regin
          • 8 Years

          Should be spurs vs Cardiff

          Seems a lot of money in your defense but its a good team

          1. ZAWAd25
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks mate! Yeah I’m considering downgrading Robertson to Arnold and use the 1m somewhere else

        Sorry For Repost
        Not just for this GW but Long term.

      • Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years

        GTG or should I play Shaw ahead of Bennett?

        Patricio
        Alonso, Laporte, Bennett
        Hazard, Schurrle, Richarlison, Fraser
        Aguero (c), Lukaku, Wilson
        (Hamer, Shaw, AWB, Ward)

      • fc_skrald
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Repost from last article...

        I need to play three of the these four players

        Fraser, King, van Aanholt, Bennett

        I think I will play Fraser, King and van aanholt even though all three players are involved in the same match - is this spreadning the risk, or is it better to play Bennett and hence have two matches games to rely upon?

        I could also bench Mane and play Bennett, but I don't really like this

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Think I'd play Bennet, but just on basis of cs potential, unless you think PVA will get attacking return.

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

              Yes, PVA scored in the cup this week, and I believe he has a tendency to score in in several matches in a row (historical data I cant not document...)

        2. ChadW98
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Pick 2 to start:

          Zaha, Fraser, Walcott

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

            Zaha and fraser, I'd get rid of wally for richarlson

        3. bashtag
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Om a wildcard...
          Would you swap B Silva & Salah for Hazard & Mane!? Its doing me in!!!!

        4. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Can't decide who to start out of:-

          TAA (che)

            No clean sheets there.

            Go for the one who you think won’t concede 2.

            Or the one most likely get attacking returns.
