        Hmm

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

    Kinda of reminds me of something my dad taught me when making sports bets. It's easier to predict the bad teams doing bad than the good teams doing good.

    Like does anyone think it's possible that FUL keeps a CS vs EVE?

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

      3% imo

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

      So you want to predict a bad defence doing good??????

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

        He's thinking of capping Rich

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

          How did you work that out from his gibbering

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

      wont be surprised if they do...

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

      The way Everton finish. It wouldn’t surprise me if Everton had 15 shots and failed to score.

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

    Thinking of Kane (c) over Aguero cos of reduced minutes and BHA being pretty stubborn at Anfield earlier in the season ...

    Anyone with me?

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

      I'm with you but might chicken out if I know myself right

    2. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yup
      Same here and to make my decision easier I’ve now got Lacazette

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

      It's enough of a differential ('casuals' notwithstanding) to own Kane for this GW so I'd leave it on Aguero unless you're confident he won't start

  4. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    City
    23 shots per game this season so far, more than any other side this season.
    Brighton
    15 shots conceded per game this season, sixth among teams this season.
    Fulham
    17 shots conceded per game this season, 2nd only to Burnley.

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

      What about Huddersfield?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        15.8 shots conceded per game, 4th
        Spurs
        18 shots per game, 4th

        1. StayoutheSpiceZone
          • 8 Years

          Thank you

      Patricio / Ryan

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

    Right team selection here?

    Hennesy
    Alonso Trippier Bennett
    Sterling Hazard Maddison Fraser
    Wilson (K)un Lukaku

    Hamer Hojberg AWB Holebas

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

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

      Yep, same 1st and 2nd subs for me...my 3rd is Mendy :(.

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

        You should play mendy just in case 😉

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

    I am captaining Richarlison this week over Aguero.

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

      Foolish

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

        Aguero will get subbed off around 60', Richie will play 85-90.
        Fulham have one of the worst defences in the league and Everton vs Fulham is traditionally high-scoring in Everton's favour.
        Richie was on fire before his suspension and looked menacing against the Arse last week.
        Having said that, I might switch to Aguero come 11.20am. Lol.

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

          Aguero is the best player in the league, capable of scoring 4+ goals in a game. Brighton are awful away from home.

          Richarlison plays for Everton. Everton..

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

      Good on you

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

      Good luck big balls

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

      Ok

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A player who's just come back from suspension and is yet to hit form.

      Good luck with that

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

    Was pretty set on doing Salah and Zaha > Maddison and Kane (-4) but the Alli/Eriksen news has made me doubt it...would you still make make the move?

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

      I would save and then have a better idea next week if it's the right move with 2fts in your back pocket

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

      No.

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

      Alli is massively overrated, eriksen a big miss on last seasons form.

      Kane is Kane, he will score big soon

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

    Hey guys, who should I play out of;

    A) Robertson
    B) Alonso
    C) AWB

    1. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A & B

      • jomikijiq
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        B

      • Podge
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I’m on C, both teams should score in pool v Chelsea

    3. FPL AXE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wildcard is finalised, any issues?

      ............................Patricio............................

      ............Alonso - Robertson - Trippier.........

      Richardson - Sterling - Maddison - Fraser

      ................Agüero - Kane - Mitrovic.............

      Subs bench: Doherty - Wan Bissaka - Ward
      Maybe Laporte instead of Trippier?

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

        The umlaut over Aguero
        Hilarious attention to incorrect detail

        1. FPL AXE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Autocorrect on my phone hehe

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

        No hazard or Salah is 2 big issues for me. This looks more like a free hit team

        1. FPL AXE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry, I should have clarified, this is for 2 weeks, then Salah comes back in for Richarlison and Hazard comes in for Sterling on 2FTs

        2. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          This

    4. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Captaining Richarlison could be a master move this weekend

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

        yeah, 3pts over Kun's 2 will be good differential

    5. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Start 1- Robertson or AWB?
      &
      Captain 1- Aguero or Kane?

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

        Start Robo
        Cpt Kun

        thats what im doing anyways

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

        Robbo and aguero are the most likely to score the highest imo

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

        I’m doing Robbo Kane

    6. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      City fans/experts - % chance that Sterling plays?

      Thinking of captaining over aguero

      1. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Starts*

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

        Yeah I think he's a good shout.

        1. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Worried he played minutes vs Oxford in midweek..

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

            Mahrez played 90 and Bernardo will play in midfield. All clear for Sterling

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

      A. Stephens > Richarlison (-4)

      B. Play Ings

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely

      2. Marian Kuna Guero
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A
        But you should have done it yesterday

      3. Shaps
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        B

    8. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is Doherty a much more art king option than Jonny? Cheers

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

        Yes I believe his originals go for ridiculous money
        Even the prints are sought after

    9. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lukaku or Lacazette today ?

      1. Bonus magnet

    11. rowdog24
      • 7 Years

      Play one: Fraser or Maddison

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

        Both opponents defence has been pretty strong... Play Fraser as he's at home.

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

        Both?

      Salah, Wilson > Kane, rich for next 2 weeks for -4?

      1. Macam Dave
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve just done Ings salah to Kane rich so I’d say yes worth the risk. Think kanes ceiling is higher next two games

    16. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Arnautovic

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

        Start for sure. United look really vulnerable and Arnie is a great striker.

        1. Sid1891
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

        • 10 Years
