    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good to me. But your defenders all could score well this week so don't be shocked at benched points.

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

    15. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.

    20. breadhead28
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Stuck on this....

      Arnautovic (H - Man United)
      or
      Maddison (A - Newcastle)

      Thoughts?

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

        Maddison

      2. Paulinho14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        the next Becks

    21. Jinkys Oars
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mendy to Walker or
      Mikhitarayan to Richarlison?

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

        Mkhi to Richarlison - City's fixtures aren't great and holding onto Mendy could be smart

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

        bench mendy. I think 2 move is most likely to bring returns

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

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

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

        Start Robbo, Captain Aguero

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

        Robbo Aguero

    23. smix
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play Holebas or AWB?

    24. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years

      Play shaw or Trent?

    25. ALIVE AND KICKING

        7 years, 3 months ago

        What exactly is gtg? How good is gtg? Is there any team here not gtg? 99.99% teams here gtg so i never get this kind of question

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

          Someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

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

          you do get the question, you're most likely just being fesicious.

          ps. the team is gtg, good luck!

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

          Basically:

          (i) should I bring any players off my bench into the starting XI?
          (ii) should I change my bench order?
          (iii) should I change my captain or vice-captain?
          (iv) should I make any transfers?

          But all done in one simple abbreviation - GTG?
