Having juggled moving house with his FPL plans over the last seven days we find out what he is looking to do in Gameweek 17.

We will also be discussing who the best captain is for the weekend, with Manchester City likely to rotate once again.

At 11:30am we will bring you the team news from the Etihad Stadium as the defending champions prepare to host Everton.

      That’s hard to be fair there’s not enough options lol

  2. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is this the GW that shows who made the best call on team structure?
    Did you go for Kane and Auba or did you go cheap 3 strikers and heavy mids?

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cheap up top. Heavy in the middle. Just like my sister.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane upfront, heavy mids #Balance

    3. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1 Premium Attacker and 2 Premium Mids is the best structure IMO

    4. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      big hitters up top for me, lets see

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      352

      Alonso Robbo Sterling Salah Kane as my big hitters.

  3. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will Sterling start for sure? Can you promise me that?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I promise.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I can promise that I don't know Pep's plans.

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I can’t promise anything.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can't promise you anything

    5. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    6. LD
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No promises

    7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I promise (it’s me Pep btw)

    8. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I can promise that he starts in my fantasy team...

    9. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez alternates with Sterling Pep said and Mahrez has been rested.

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling can play no.9 yo

      2. Sponge-worthy
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He said that?

      3. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Based on that, surely Sterling to Sane is a wise move? Plus a huge saving in price.

    10. Gaffers
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely guaranteed*

      *not a guarantee

      1. Sponge-worthy
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        "Will Sterling start"? I don't think so.

  4. UnitedFan

  6. Jonty Rhodes
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I am on WC too and will be good to have your vote

    Lossl (Button)
    Robertson, Doherty, Kolsainac (Schindler, Digne)
    Hazard, Snodgrass, Salah (vc), Anderson (Schurrle)
    Chicharito, Jimenez, Abuameyang

    2.2 m in bank. Moves considered:
    Option 1) Below moves still leave me with 0.4 in bank.
    - Anderson to Mahrez (One week punt at least)
    - Lossl to Leno
    - Schindler to Lowe / Holebas (Better punt?)
    Option 2)
    - Lossl to Lloris (No GK changes then for a while)
    - Anderson to Mahrez (One week punt at least)
    - Schindler to Femenia (Watford covered but huddersfield missed then).

    1. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      If anyone going to score for EVE it’s Rich so I’d put him first.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        That's the thing; I think he'll more likely to blank and get a yellow than the others to keep a cleanie. But, I see your point re. having him first on bench.
