    4. Numbuster

      i would play 4 DEF if your 3rd FWD or 5th MID not much impressive

    Kun owners.

    Holding or swapping out and bring back with Jan WC.

    Very expensive to sit around is all, would rather use funds for Sterling +

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you've held this long, I'd probably keep. I'm awful tempted to bring him in now.

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jan WC? What madness is this?

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm, a strange one indeed coming from a manager in his tenth year on this site!

    3. Ozzyy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Swap, you don't necessarily have to use a WC to bring him back tho.

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Drafting WC. Have Sterling, Anderson, Hazard; Kane, Wilson; Robbo, Doherty.

    Have some choices to make:
    Sane or Son?
    Fraser or Wilson? Or both?
    DLuiz or Alonso?
    3-5-2 with Kamara or 3-4-3 with Jimenez?

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Sane, but both are good.
      I prefer Wilson, but either, neither or both is fine.
      I prefer Luiz.
      I'd lean toward Jimenez, although I guess it depends on the 5th midfielder, but personally I don't love any of the midfielders for less than Raul's 6.1.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If I went with five mids, they'd likely be Sterling, Sane, Hazard, Fraser, Anderson. Fraser has been in my squad since gw6, so there's a good amount of value there.
        My bench fwd would be Kamara, or maybe Success.
        I think a lot of this will depend on Wilson news.

        Thanks!

  7. Bob B

    Team set, is Richarlison better off being on the bench?

    Fabianski
    Luiz Robertson Kolasinac Doherty
    Fraser Sterling Sane
    Kane(c) Aubameyang Jimenez

    Richarlison, Wan-Bissaka, Gibbs-White

    1. Ozzyy

      Looks good,

      looks like you don't care about pep's mad rotation

      1. Bob B
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did but I lapsed when wildcarding last week.
        Nice team and nice rank Osman!

        1. Ozzyy
          • 9 Years

          Thank you, and fingers crossed, hope they both play

    Emery on Lacazette and Sokratis playing ahead of busy schedule…

    "........ for example Sokratis, he cannot play Sunday and he could play today. Lacazette, I think he needs rhythm to play and it’s not bad for him to play today. We decided for this reason and because every player who played today can play Sunday."

    Hm, good or bad news? not sure myself but it leans a bit towards good news, but just a bit

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      By saying Laca needs rhythm sounds great to me

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds positive to me for Laca owners

    3. Pierce34

      *Clutching at straws* Sounds good enough to me!

      Can't believe I trusted him with the captaincy last GW.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Who scores more this week?

    A. Laca + WanBissaka + 4 points

    B. Pereyra + Chicharito

    1. Point-one short

    3. SC not pearls before swine

      Is Wilson out? But I prefer Mitrovic of the two

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure if he's 100% out or not but I've already lost 0.1 as his price dropped.

        1. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You've already lost the 0.1 - wait for the presser

    4. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why cant you wait for presser?

        Fair play lads - i'll wait for the presser 🙂 thanks

    5. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years

      I’ve swapped him for Jiminez, there isn’t much difference in the two recently there both playing well

  11. Differential C (Mark)

    Damn, didn't think Brooksy would fall.
    Ah well, it is what it is.

  12. Lukaku91
    • 10 Years

    Week 17 (To play one )
    1 Richarlison
    2 Kamara

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Top of the page post not good enough for you? 😛

      Play Richarlison.

      1. Lukaku91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        but top of the page said play kamara.. now im confused..

        play kamara or richarlison?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Just go with your gut. My opinion is Richarlison - guaranteed to start, plays for a better team, and is a better player. City defence have not been exactly impregnable lately.

          1. Lukaku91
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            fair point. thanx

    2. waldo666

      1

    3. Numbuster
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      try kamara... probably may get a goal from him

      1. Lukaku91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        thx

    4. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Rich, is Kamara guaranteed to start?

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Far from guaranteed.

  13. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Right starting 11 and bench order you reckon?

    Fab
    Alonso, Luiz, Robertson
    Sterling, Sane, Son, Anderson
    (K)ane, Chicarito, Jimenez

    Steele | Doherty, AWB, son-of-a-Gunnarsson

    1. Numbuster
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      bench luiz, play doherty

    2. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I’d Stick with Doherty first sub GTG. He’ll probably come in anyway for either Sané,Sterling or Son

  14. ChelseaGuy

    Got exact funds for
    Martial + Success ->

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like any of the first 3.
      A the most appealing to me but if YOU really want Torreira then go for it. Personally I'd rather Snodgrass or Young.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah B with Snodgrass instead of Torreira sounds good

    I've got both TAA and Martial. Any insider info on if either will play?

    If not, is playing Hojbjerg a better option than dropping Martial and taking a -4 hit to add a middie like Richarlison, Siggy, BSilva, Fraser, Torreia, Paterson, or Snodgrass?

    As always thanks for advice.

    1. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years

      Would need to the rest of ur team

      1. fantasygurumd
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sure thing:

        Alonso Doherty TAA Digne AWB
        Sterling Anderson Son Martial Hojbjerg
        Auba Kana Jimenez

        If both are out I'd have to use two of Digne/AWB/Hoj

    2. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes ur bench isn’t that good, I see ur problem

    3. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I’d do Digne to Luiz if you can

            Oh, good you have him 😛

            I never got a chance, was stuck with King...

              • 13 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              King was my GW1 pick.

              Glad I made the switch albeit a bit late to the party

  20. Scheister
    • 13 Years

    Play Fraser (wol) or Richarlison (mci)

    1. Holmes

        This week? Not a fan of their upcoming fix though

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I think CS looks likely in every game except Man City in next 5

          Its kind of long investment as well, in the end, we will probably have to give up and bring a Liverpool defender by GW22 😮

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            You think so? Yeah I kinda agree with it, considering the high ownership and playing safe.

            Feeling maverick though (lol) and getting Schindler and maybe do laporte to robbo next week

            U dont think Tripp will play?

    2. Ynwalfc
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso, his fixtures are good and he’s due some big points

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agree but then So many near misses and luiz outscorong him for weeks making it not an easy choice to make

  22. E25

    Still have WC so this could be a 2-3 week punt. Will probably want Rich back in a couple of weeks.

    A number of mini-fires but until the pressers im holding.

    Sane, Sterl, Fando
    Wilson*, Auba, Kane

    Hamer, Digne, Brooks, Diag

    My thinking is:

    1. TAA/Brooks to Robbo/gunnarson -4
    2. TAA to Kola or luiz
    3. TAA/Wilson to Rob/Jim -4
    4. Save
    5. Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      2 toss a coin

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lets see if Wilson is fit or not

      If he is not, then C makes sense otherwise 2 with Luiz will do the job

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      So what is the news.
      TAA is out and Wilson probably out?

    4. Gabistuta
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys. Yeah looks like TAA is definitely out and Wilson, who knows bar Mr Howe

    Need your thoughts guys, would you transfer Sigurdsson out for Pereyra?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      Nope

      1. Abby

      Good team except for no keepers is a big worry

      Auba or kane if you can stretch it

      1. liboo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        fabianski Henessey is my keepers

        no money for kane
        can make Auba

  26. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I have Sterling
    If I can get get Haz over Sane next week who should I go for Haz?

    Haz means a bench like
    Jimenez/Snodgrass, Schindler Stephens

    Sane means bench
    Like Snodgrass Jimenez Stephens

  27. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more this week and probably the next 4-5 weeks?

    A. Laca + WanBissaka + 4 points
    Or
    B. Pereyra + Chicharito

    Any news on Wilson? I've got a few flags to deal with - Stones, LucasPerez, Wilson, TAA

  29. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone here on FFS piled in on captaining Kane against a weak Cardiff just a few days after an emotionally charged game against Barce

    This weekend Spurs play a leaky Burnley after another emotionally charged game against Barce just a few days ago.

    I wonder whether the FFS massive has learned any lessons from this ... or will everyone be following the wisdom of the crowd again ? 🙂

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I there even a lesson to be learnt?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Certainly is, players always find it hard to pick up their game against weaker opposition a few days after a big game against one of the top teams in the world, so captaining Kane, as against Cardiff, may not be a great idea.

        Hazard though, away to Brighton, rested, talisman, maybe having Giroud starting, and involved in more Chelsea goals than Kane or Salah are for their respective teams ... mmm ...

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Barca played second string team. Brighton are good at the Amex and don’t concede much there

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            It was still a huge emotional game for Spurs, which is my point.

            Brighton have had reasonably easy fixtures at home recently but have served up a huge number of attempts at goal against them - Chelsea will be a lot more accurate than the likes of Wolves

        2. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Do you have any more examples? You kinda said the lesson was to be learnt from that one game originally...

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            From that specific game - Barce

            And yes, my very own supported team normally drops off against lessor opposition after beating one of the PL big guns ... it’s an emotion and mentality thing

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not everyone went for Kane 😉

      With Spurs run of fixtures, Burnleys defensive frailties, Kane’s stats and the fact that he had a rest.. most obvious captaincy of the season thus far from my perspective

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I bought and captained Laca that week 🙂

        Barce to Burnley though ... hard to get up for that 😉

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Good shout going against the grain when it pays off! I feel like Kane is definitely going to do well against Dyche’s men this week though

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            So do I, but I look back at the Cardiff game and it seems like the same again, hits to get Kane etc ... will decide later though

    3. Ozzyy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It is not really a wisdom of the crowd issue this week, there is not much contention for the armband this week..

      CHE - away game
      LIV - Slightly tougher fixture
      CITY - inform Everton.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea away to Brighton though - who are right up there for most shots conceded in the last 4 home games .... looks like a decent alternative

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think I was pretty much spot on there, cold, rain and a lethargic Spurs ... Kane getting a late assist to save the blushes of his captainers.

      Let’s hope we have learned a lesson from this and the Cardiff game, that a big night in Europe a few days before the PL weekend makes the ‘easy’ fixture not quite the walk over that many expect and hope for 😉

    a) Martial > Son

    b) TAA + Martial > Kolasinac + Sane (-4)
