    Do you think at least one of Trippier or TAA will play this gw?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hard to say... i don't think TAA will play

    2. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Probably not

    3. WorldCupDanB
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say it aint looking good at all for TAA - https://twitter.com/GrizzKhan/status/1073335365237379074

      1. BAMBAA

      In the same boat 🙁

      1. BAMBAA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        TAA -> Luiz for a hit?

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years

          If I could I would l, I’m 0.1m off :/

  2. enrico.palazzo
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any advice on this lot?

    1 FT 1.3 ITB - WC still available

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Alonso - Chillwell - TAA - Doherty
    Hazard - Salah - Richarlison - Deulefeu
    Kane (C) - Chicarito

    Ings, WBA, 4.2 (Hudson Odoi)

    1) Ings > Mitrovic
    2) 4.2 > Snodgrass
    3) Other?

    Cheers guys

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Any news on Ings yet? Willing to hold him if his back fit? Would advise to do 2

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Not as of yet - but this is a very sensible move I think.

        Thanks for the input! 🙂

    2. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      4.2 > Torriera

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That's an interesting one that I haven't considered

  3. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    A) Gudmundsson > Snodgrass
    B) Gudmundsson > Pereyra
    C) Diop > Holebas

    Only likely to be short term before WC.

    1. enrico.palazzo

    Got transfers wrong last week and you guys are always right so-

    A) siggy to son then back to richi in a few
    B) Siggy to alli then back to richi in a few
    C) siggy to rich (sideways I know)

      Son looks great

  6. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What is with all the Auba owners with this “sell Laca” agenda?

    Not helpful and quite odd.

    Is it fear that they made the wrong choice and that Laca (a cheaper option) may outscore Auba?

    Is it annoyance that Laca is back and might now push their expensive Auba out wide?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Will Laca start is the question?

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Isn’t it more Laca owners that got 1, or 1x2, v HUD, worried that he’s just played tonight?

      Why would auba owners care? We knew he existed when we brought auba in.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Because those asking the question of what to do with Laca, don’t even own him.

        It’s just trying to stir the pot and cast doubt into Laca owners and it really isn’t so helpful.

    3. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think roles may be reversed and Laca start this week.

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I really hope this happens

    4. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      wouldn't worry about them, you come across slightly rattled if i'm honest

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        i apologise if the agenda stuff is part of a mourinho spoof character

      2. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It’s merely an observation.

  7. Lionac
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How likely is either Son or Sane to start next GW? I want to get one of them. Can't decide.

    1. ATXHorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think Sane more likely than Son. Maybe 60%, 40%

    2. emodabi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I got Sane out of those, I was in the same dilemma but I am bit just worried since he played the 90 mins while Som substituted on 70+. More likely Son will start

  8. Rash

              Not the biggest shock someone still using "bet you're fun at parties lol" patter in 2018 would be indulging in behaviour as sociopathic as keeping bananas in the fridge.

    Salah, FAnderson, Rich, Fraser
    Kane, Jimenez

    Fab, Wilson, AWB, Gunnarson

    1FT 2.6 itb

    Use cash to upgrade?

    Ryan / Button
    Alonso / Robertson / Doherty / Balbuena / AWB
    Sterling / Sane / Richarlison / F. Anderson / Camarasa
    Kane / Wilson / Jimenez

    1 FT, 2.6 ITB. Thanks in advance for any replies!

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Team looks good mate, Wilson possibly an issue for this GW, you may get more news tomorrow but maybe not knowing Howe. He is still a good option going forward. Wouldn't change much myself, maybe Ryan out for someone like Fabs as his fixtures are better and gets more save points.

      1. +
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ta, only brought Wilson in last week so don't have any cash tied up in him - will keep if he's fit though.

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          In that case, if Howe does confirm he is out you could possibly ship him to Mitro since he has good good fixtures coming up, or maybe even Rashford at same sort of price.

            • 8 Years

    B) Sane + Kane
    C) any 10.0 mid + Kane

    Dubravka
    Robertson Doherty Chambers
    Sterling ___ Son F.Anderson
    ___ Mitrovic Jimenez

    Hamer Richarlison Digne Diop

    Hi All,

    Callum Wilson, priced at 7.0m is about to drop tonight.
    In my team his value is 6.6m.

    Id he drops do I lose money?
    I have the exact cash for Wilson ---> Mitrovic!!!!

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yeah, selling price 6.8 today, 6,7 if he drops

      1. Champione
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        sorry, misread that one. If you bought him at 6.2 your selling price today is 6.6, 6.5 if he drops

        1. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          If he bought him at 6.3, he wouldn’t drop though.

          Go to transfers, click on list view, and check what you bought him at.

          1. Champione
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            correct, good point

    2. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think it depends what price you got him.
      If got him at 6.3 then won't lose out.
      If got him at 6.2 then your sell price will drop.
      Think that's right?

    Quick Membership question...

    I'm more into FPL this year than in year's past so I'm probably going to pay to be a member. If I remember correctly, they get discounted at some point, right? Like a half-year membership?

    Can someone confirm I'm remembering that correctly and let me know when that will be?

    Thanks.

    Lots of chat about Laca not going to start at the weekend due to playing 60 tonight.

    If you think that, please could you tell me how you think Arsenal will line up in midfield and attack without him?

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years

      lots of midfielders to cover for the lack of centre backs imo

    2. Dynamic Duos

      Leno

    know he's not exactly lucas torreira or anything but concerned that the mooy injury might kill huddersfield defenders as options. he provided such good balance for the skillsets of billing and hogg, now is all skewed negatively imo, think it makes newcastle favourites this gw for example

    Just catching up with everything....

    Need a replacement for Arnie, got Wilson already.

    Is Mitro the best option? I see he was subbed early against Man Utd.

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez for me. Have both but Jimenez is the best option imo
