Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) has become something of a differential option in the early part of this season.

We’ve gone over the case for his inclusion in Gameweek 7, as well two other sparingly owned options in a Spot the Differential article.

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

    My wildcard

    Hart
    Robertson - Trippier - Doherty

    Sterling - Richarlison - Maddison - Fraser

    Aguero - Kane - Mitrovic

    Bench: Hamer - Bennett - Wan.B - Ward

    2m i bank for Salah later!

    Someting else i should do??

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

      Looks good. What week will you bring Salah back in and for who?

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

        2 weeks against Huddersfield.

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

          Not next week instead of Sterling? Sterling ALWAYS has his worst game of the season away to Liverpool and Salah almost always has a lot of fun at home to City. Pep's football suits Klopp well (not a team who parks the bus in any way)

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

            What about Sterling-> Hazard next week, than Hazard, - > Salah

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

      looks good!

  2. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Guys... Should I do...

    David Silva >> Sane (for -4)

    Alonso comes from the bench if Silva won't play..

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

      Noooo

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        David Silva may not start right?

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He will

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He may not. Sideways transfers within City midfield is recipe for disaster though.

    2. cheeky moses
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't do it mate. You can do a lot better than Sane

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

    Decision time:

    A - with The Big 4.

    Hart
    Trippier Doherty Bennett
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Kane Jiménez

    Hamer / AWB / Billing / Bednarek

    B. with The Big 3, Triple Man City, No Liverpool

    Hart
    Trippier Doherty Laporte
    Sterling Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Kane Jiménez

    Hamer / Bennett / AWB / Billing

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

    Who should start?

    A) Bennett means double up with Patricio
    B) TAA
    C) AWB

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

      I'm starting Bennett. I have faith in Wolves however misguided that might be.

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

        Dito 🙂

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Following the path to true happiness is never misguided

        😀

    2. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. Lukaku91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldnt double up.. patricio is enough. TAA could get an assist. AWB could get his usual 9 point haul

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

    FYI, I’m still being locked out every “‘Morning” at some point 🙂

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

      iPhone, safari

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

      Try getting home earlier the night before

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

        Lol

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years

      *logged

  6. Dosh
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed!

    Who starts for Man City this weekend, Gundogan or David Silva?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Dilva

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

      Gundogan imo

    3. Elite FPL
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pep loves playing David at home

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

      obviously nobody knows this, but I'd be surprised if it was David Silva (saying that as a Silva owner)

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

      Dilva. Guessing Gundogan experience will be useful to play a Bundesliga team

  7. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best MID 4.4 or under?

    Hudson Odoi
    Obiang
    Masuaku

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Obiang

    2. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The one that plays. Masuaku. Obiang after.

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

      Stephens will be back next week, solid 2 or 3 pointer, good 3rd sub

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

      Obiang

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

    Do you fancy Erik Lamela to start?

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

      It's him or the cleaner.

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

        Thanks, I think he will be my punt.

        1. cheeky moses
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I like it

  9. zamorac69
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ederson Hamer
    AWB Robbo Alonso Pereira Mendy
    Fraser Maddison Richi Mane Hazard
    Aguero Mitro Ings

    No free transfers, and 0,7 ITB. What to do, what to play?

  10. Lukaku91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hart

    Robertson - Trippier - Laporte

    Hazard - Richarlison - Maddison - Mane

    Aguero - Vardy - Mitrovic

    Bench: Patricio - Bennett - Wan.B - Hojbjerg

    Still undecided on Robertson or Bennett.. who will score more points??

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

      Go robbo

  11. Shaikh91
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which 3 to play

    Awb
    Alonso
    TAA
    Bennett

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

      BDA

      1. Shaikh91
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        ?

        1. Paul Psychic Octopus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          try looking at the alphabet

        2. Pass
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          TAA bench

  12. zotter
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a Wc. Up to 9m for a mid

    A. Son
    B. Dilva
    C. Madison
    D. Someone else

    Have Richarlison. Salah. Hazard.

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

      A this week but not sure about long term.

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

        That’s what I was thinking. As long as he is ok for next two weeks it’s ok. Probably switch to Alli after

    2. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A, excellent differential

    3. Lukaku91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      C

    4. cheeky moses
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rather go Moura or Lamela

  13. Dannyb
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg? Correct bench order?
    Patricio
    Alonso Shaw AWB Holebas
    Mane Hazard Sterling(C)
    Aguero Lacazette Mitrovic
    Hamer Bennett Ward Hoiberg.
    Cheers

    1. Shaikh91
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bennett for holebas

    2. Lukaku91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      sterling (C) is brave.. I would go aguero.. but follow your gut

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

      If Sterling scores Aguero basically has to get 2 to match him. Fully back Sterling to get returns today.

  14. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Over next 2, before WC'ing:

    A) Monreal. Arsenal shaky in defense, but should be nailed. Decent underlying stats.
    B) Trippier. Higher ceiling, and plum fixtures. But will he start vs Cardiff. Stats are up there with the best

    Cheers!

    1. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cardiff is right before intl break. If I were Poch Id start him.

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

        Fair point, leaning towards him, as I don't really see Arsenal cs

    2. cheeky moses
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I fancy both Watford and Fulham to score against Arsenal. So, I'd go B.

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    One week only

    Salah and Jimenez
    or
    Sane and Lacazette?

    Ta 🙂

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

      Sane and Laca

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

      Sane and Laca

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      SLacker

  16. AndyCook
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Son or Moura in draft?

      1. AndyCook
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Or Lamela?

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

        Never thought, 2 ago, I’d ever have to ask this: play Robbo or Bennett?

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

          Robertson

        2. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Damn, that's actually tough. You'd expect Liverpool to concede and I'd say realistically the best Robbo will do attacking wise is get an assist. Wolves on the other hand, genuinely look solid and I think a CS looks likely.

          Hoping for a Robbo assist vs Wolves CS

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

          Bennett. I don't know if it's relevant to you. I'm benching TAA for Doherty this week

      3. Weilong7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        kepa (hamer)
        luiz robertson laporte AWB (peltier)

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

          Roll the FT

      4. Lexi2014
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Fabianski
        Azpi, AWB, Boly
        Salah / Hazard / Bilva / Fraser
        Aguero / Mitrovic / Arnie

        Subs: Foster / Cedric / Chalobah / Suttner

        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hi All

        Looking for best option for DEF 5.5mil and under
        replacing Schlupp
        This GW My 5 Def are :
        Wan-B,Holabas,Pereira,Schlupp, and Alonso

        Any Help More Than Welcome

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

          Monreal or Bellerin are my thoughts...

      6. Thiga
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Feeling punty. Walcott > Lamela?
        Really is exhausting owning Walcott

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

          Sure, excellent move

        2. Dosh
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Could give him one last chance this week

      7. Shaikh91
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Who do I leave on the bench

        Awb

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        1ft and 0m itb. Current move depends on what i want to do next gw

        Patricio — foster
        Alonso shaw mendy — robbo awb
        Salah Dilva Maddison Richarlison — Stephens
        Kun king zaha

        A: mendy >> Doherty and leave funds to potentially do kun > Kane next gw
        B: mendy >> Trippier and take a hit next week if I want to get Kane for gw8
        C: roll over the FT as I have robbo/awb coming on for mendy.

        Some of the options for next gw include:
        - Dilva >> Son (c)
        - Salah >> Haz (c)
        - Mendy/Salah/King >> Holebas/Son/Kane(c).

      10. Bollard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I reckon Jesus starts over Aguero today - worried Aguero owner/captainer

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

          Doubtful. Not to worry.

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

          nope

        3. Morty15
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          starting to think this - would you captain Kane instead ??

      11. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Do I need to put Mendy in starting 11??in case if he starts only just?

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

          I did that. Delusional

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

          It’s up to you. Mendy won’t start today.

      12. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Will have swap Aguero to Kane next week as the number captaining Kane will be phenomenal. Just can't see how it can be avoided.

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

          He still doesn't have a huge ownership. You'll live.

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

            Hope so.

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

          Easy, Kane doesn’t score this week -> avoided.

      13. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Play 2

        Wilson (CRY)
        Maddison (new)
        Doherty (SOU)

        1. The Polymath
