  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    how is this? -4, did a late transfer and took out Fraser for Richarlison, it is part of my long term plans, but could hurt this gwk.

    Ederson
    Alonso Doherty Chilwell
    Richarlison Lucas Maddison Salah Hazard
    Mitrovic(vc) Aguero(C)

    Button Wan Duffy Kamara

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    4. Drogo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Changed from Kane to Aguero last minute, so go bet your money on Kane now.

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

      FAAACK, I knew it!! Should have gone Kane!

  15. Woy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why would you start TAA over wan Bissaka

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      CS odds

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

      Free kicks and corners.

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

      I'm not.

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

      Because I have PVA

  16. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How many players do you have from Che-Liv game?

    4 for me

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

      Same. Salah, Robbo, Alonso, Haz.

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

    4. CostaCoffee

      7 years, 3 months ago

      2 Hazard and Robbo

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3 ... benching Robbo

  17. Gianfranco Zola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Help:

    A) Mendy > Trippier

    B) Save FT and play Bennett (already own Doherty)

    Plan with B is to get TAA later

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

      B

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

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

    Kun to Laca.

    Am I crazy?

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably,

    2. yakirh
      • 9 Years

      Insane

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years

      Shurrup

    4. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years

      Step away with your hands in the air!!

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Please do it.

    6. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A little bit

  19. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Got Salah & Mane currently, and 1.6m in the bank.

    Can’t decide who to swap Mane for out of Hazard, Sterling or Alli? Any suggestions considering I’ve also got Aguero up front and no Spurs/Chelsea coverage.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling.

    2. Alchim1sT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      went for Mane to Hazard yesterday ... Haz is a good captain option for GW8 and i dont trust Alli for the armband 😉

      and out of the 3 Hazard as the best form and the least rotation risk

    3. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Alli is out for 4 weeks, so probably not him.

  20. jackhammer1
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Shaw or Bennett to start?

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

      They should do.

  21. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anything need a hit?

    Begovic
    AWB, Boly, Alonso
    Fraser, Haz, Mane, Maddison
    Mitro, Aguero (c), Zaha

    Foster VVD, Mendy, Westwood

  22. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I can see a Richa hatty coming up 🙂

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

        Nah, Kun will get four

  23. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    walcott > rich with FT? i cant believe im asking but all this rich hype is getting me scared

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

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Now is the time to get Richa

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

      I did it.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Richarlison.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kane.

    4. Alchim1sT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard

  28. amplifiedAnt
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Alonso, Robertson, PVA (AWB, Mendy*)
    Hazard, Mané, Richarlison, Fraser (Cairney)
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Ings

    0FT, 1.1 ITB. Would love to get Mendy out for Trippier (those fixtures!) but for a hit? Hmm.

    A. Mendy > Trippier (-4)

  29. Sun Jihai

    No captain sensible article this week?

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

    OR 200k

    Aguero or Rich (C)?

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

      El Kun

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

        He's ranked 200k though.

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Makes no difference. Its GW7

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

            But. He's. Ranked. 200k.

        2. maff
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It's September

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

      I know at 200K you’re trying to catch up - I just don’t think Richarlison is the way to do it.
