    HAMER to make a comeback next week and be the star player?

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years

      Hamer time

  2. Steevo

    2FT to burn...
    A) Kane, Maddison -> Mané, Firmino (no Salah)
    B) Kane, Maddison -> Salah, King/Murray
    C) Kane, AWB -> Firmino, Robertson

    Currently on A

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why Maddison out? Or just because of Liverpool assets?

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Obvi wait on IB to be done, but like the look of B

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      C. Palace bad fixtures. Also bou bad fixtures from gw 11.

      1. Y26 Royal
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        B for me

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years

      B

  3. Champions united

    Have doherty
    Fost> patricio

    1.Double wolves is fine? when they have spurs and ars
    2.is fost>pat a good long term option
    3. and can easily be rotated with fab

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Pat probably the best set and forget 4.5m option imo. Fab close second.

  4. KneejerkJoe

    Good morning all!
    Anyone have some toughts on this?

    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Trippier
    Hazard Mane Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Auba Deeney
    ...Hamer Holebas Awb Gunnarsson
    0.2itb.2ft.wc available.

    A) Holebas -> Digne/Keane
    B) Tripper -> Mendy
    C) Both
    D) Something Else

    Looking at Evertons5 og 9 homegames..

    Looking at doing Auba -> Firmino and Deeney -> Arnautovic or Auba -> Arnoutovic and Mane -> Salah for gw10.

    1. mike09
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. KUNingas

      B

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B is tempting.

      1. KneejerkJoe
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Was my original plan but with Holebas dropping and those tasty homegames for Everton Digne or Keane are tempting!

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nice team! B probably the sensible move imo. Try to get in Arnie for Deeney eventually, that would be the plan imo

      1. KneejerkJoe
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks! Thats what im thinking aswell. Deeney has been so close to scoring and Watford should have har a pen og two and got Huddersfield gw10 but arnie looking too good. Looking at Auba to Laca/Firmino to afford Arnautovic. But also concidering Salah for Mane for the captain options. Toughts On everton def for their home games?

        1. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Everton don't look good for clean sheets.

    5. jca
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ditch Holebas. He will be getting 5th yellow soon. Doherty is hard to ignore and is .2 cheaper. B is ok

  5. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which striker do you prefer longterm?

    A) Arnie

    B) Murray

    C) Wilson

    (Already got Mitrovic)

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A, those fixtuees from gW 10 to New year looking great.

    Anyone know the Last Man Standing safety score this week? I'm amazed that I still appear to be in the league.

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard (C) + 10 others

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      44

    3. STEP rOVERS

      Haha same I thought I was a gonna for sure

  7. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan
    Alonso - Robertson - Trippier
    Fraser - Maddison - Hazard- Pogba
    Aguero - Jimenez - Kane

    Button - Doherty - AWB - Ward

    2 FT
    0.7m

    I think I am pretty set on...

    Kane/Ward > Kamara/Salah

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kane+Pogba out imo, Kamara not worth a place.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        So you agree with the proposed switch?

        Kane/Ward > Kamara/Salah

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I mean, I'd rather Kane+Pogba->Salah+Someone half-decent.

          1. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Ah my bad. My actual move was Kane/Pog > Arnie/Salah.

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              No worries. Good teamluck!

              1. Differential C (Mark)
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                *team and good luck!

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ok

  8. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Apologies, bottomed on previous page.

    Anything to do here?

    Hennessey
    Alonso Walker Bellerin
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Mitrovic Jimenez

    Fabianski H.Costa Bennett AwB

    2 FT 1.3m ITB

    Cheers.

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Simple Walker > Mendy trade. I would also consider Robbo in for Belarin. Team looks great.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Walker to Mendy is my planned deadline move if nothing pressing. Robbo for Bellerin is also very interesting, hm. Makes a lot of sense in fact.

    2. KneejerkJoe
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Change Hennessey before their bad run? Kennedy for Costa maybe? Og Walker to Mendy?

      Care to look at my team on this page?:)

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Fab easily covers Hen imo.
        The costa move is possible, but that looks more like a "if nothing too pressing" move. Still nice pick.
        Cheers

        1. KneejerkJoe
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Agree, ur team is that good so as long as no injurys I dont see any pressing. Like the Bellerin to Robby move also.

    3. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hennessey -> Patricio? Or Costa -> Kenedy? No need for massive changes

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Triple Woovees means that I jave to make thos moves simulataneously haha. Cheers!

    Any 1 getting KDB? thinking to swap Bilva>KDB

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think getting on him early makes sense. Others will tell you to wait until he starts (which also has some merit).

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ok

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You might want to wait to see what role Pep gives him. He's a class act, but 9.7 is still quite a lot for a player who spends most of the time in the middle of the park. However I realise that he can do wonderful things from deep - even smacking them in from 25 yards.

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      My main option if Salah continues to disappoint, besides Sterling.

    4. Y26 Royal
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Once he's got a game under his belt i want him back in.

    5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      For me, I’d rather scrape together another mil or so and have sterling.

  10. Manumana

    Thoughts on these moves for -4

    Kane Moura Alonso

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Yeah nice. Failcazette looked good vs dodgy defence.

    2. Y26 Royal
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Or Mane instead of Salah and upgrade Diop?

  11. Eden Wizard
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    2FTs for the IB 😎 spunked them both already 😎 😆

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds like a terrible decision.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Easy when you've got a wildcard left

        1. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Better to have a good team + rank and still have your wildcard left.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You forgot the free transfers, you're the worst troll here, i'd start with trolling a smaller troll first. Cya.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Living on the edge, I like it 😆

      Who’d you go for?

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Shaw>TAA wasted!
        Bilva out to give £2.8ml ITB, magic bean!

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I want TAA too!

          This year’s magic bean? Kenedy?

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I bought TAA before he rose, now he's falling on account of not playing FACEPALM!

            Alonso>TAA looks a great move for you.

            I had Kenedy from the start when he missed that penalty at Cardiff, hate the man!

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Funny you mentioned Alonso as I’m genuinly thinking of getting rid of him.

              Can’t see TAA not keeping up/outscoring him over this next period..... for 1.6m cheaper or whatever it is it starts looking to hard to resist.

              Ah don’t worry I can’t see TAA falling.....

              Dam that’s unkucky re kenedy!

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                I had Kenedy in my scout picks, i won by 9 and would have been 19 if he'd scored....coupled with the fact i had him in my FPL team...he's dead to me!!!!!!

                My magic bean is from Bournemouth and, appears to be fixture proof for the price with great stats.

                1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 5 months ago

                  Ah, I know who you mean now ! Nice pick.

                  Well il be going Kenedywithin next couple of weeks, bit of healthy competition between our magic beans 😎

  12. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Have some options with 2FTs. Only TAA from Pool in my team now.

    A) Kane Fraser Trippier to Laca Mane Laporte -4
    B) Kane Fraser Trippier to Vardy Mane Robo -4
    C) Kane Fraser Trippier to Wilson/King Salah Laporte -4 (So I can have funds for Wilson/King to Arnautovic for GW11)

    Could keep Trippier in B and C.

    1. Neves say Neves

      B

  13. FPLAdmiral
    • 7 Years

    Best option?

    (A) Kane + Fraser
    (B) Wilson / Arnie + Salah
    (C) Lacazette + Mane

    1. FPLAdmiral
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry B and C are -4

      C

  14. Dacra

    No free transfer left, can this team get through the break without any hits?!

    Pat (Hamer)
    Alonso - TAA - Laporte (AWB, Bennett)
    Mane - Hazard - Fraser - Maddison (Hojbjerg)
    Aguero - Kane - Wilson

    Thoughts on this wc draft?

    Patrico
    Robertson taa Mendy alonso
    Hazard KDB salah Richarlison
    Arnie mitro

    Fodder Jimenez awb Westwood

    Mitro can become Wilson to free up some funds if need be

    1. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nice team. I like the KDB punt, all WC teams need 1 punt I think.

    2. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good at first glance.

      But you need to have a premium forward to make transfers easy. Aguero can easily bag a hatrick next game. How do you fund him?

      Put Lacazette in and downgrade Alonso to Doherty and Jimy to 4.5 to have a smaller price gap between your striker and the premiums on your watchlist. Just my opinion.

  17. Patch

    5 years, 5 months ago

    Look forward to seeing those articles unlocked!

    Seeing as Non Members can experience this from the other side of the fence (i.e. view the locked articles) then I reckon Members should also view life from the other side of the fence (i.e. prohibited from reading the articles).

    Ederson/Begovic

    Alonso/Robertson/Doherty/AWB/Ogbonna
    Hughes/Mane/Hazard/Richarlison/Ralls
    Kane/Wilson/Mitrovic

    I have already used my FT to bring in Hazard for Salah. I am thinking about using my WC to make my team the following:

    Ederson/Hamer
    Alonso/Robertson/Doherty/AWB/Bennett
    Hojeberg/Mane/Hazard/Richarlison/Fraser
    Ageuro/Lacazette/Wilson

    Thoughts?

    1. Y26 Royal
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I dont think that's worth using your wild card for. Your team is fine for now, keep hold of it.

  19. InvertedWinger
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    On a wildcard and finding myself dumping players people are bringing in and vice versa.

    I'm losing Fraser, Ings, Maddison amongst others.

    Arnautovic, Mitrovic, David Silva coming in.

    Any of these seem like a bad idea?

    1. Goat
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t bring in Dilva and wouldn’t get rid of maddison

      1. InvertedWinger
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Maddison just doesn't look the same player out on a wing. Eye test suggests he's been very lucky with the points he's got.

        1. Goat
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          With those fixtures though I think his points will keep ticking over very nicely for a 6.5 million mid (that’s what I paid for him anyway not sure what he costs now)

  20. Pino

    Foster (Hamer)

      I i could afford it i might! Just Aguero for me.

      I’d love both but hard to do with a good team and you can only captain one anyway.

        I am tempted to captain Sterling as he could prove to be a great differential

          Sterling my captain also

    Have some options with 2FTs. Only TAA from Pool in my team now.

    A) Kane Fraser Trippier to Laca Mane Laporte -4
    B) Kane Fraser Trippier to Vardy Mane Robo/Mendy -4
    C) Kane Fraser Trippier to Wilson/King Salah Laporte -4 (So I can have funds for Wilson/King to Arnautovic for GW11)

    Could keep Trippier in B and C.

      C. Thinking Salah still Pool best attacking options.

    Hi, who will get more points in long term?
    A. Trippier

    If Trippier, anyone have plan to have 4 premium defender and go for 442?

    Cheers 🙂
