    Anyone has a clue what formation silva is trying?On apaper looks 5 atb but siggy and gomes as a pivot is asking for trouble with no gueye

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      5-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 with one of the CBs in midfield

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        It's a 5 ATB

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      3-1-5-1 probably

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Lol 5-1-3-1

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Trying to be too cheeky. City will feed them to the dogs in the 2nd half once Everton players run out of legs.

    4. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I reckon 4 at the back

      Coleman Mina Keane Digne
      Gomes Zouma
      Siggy
      Bernard Rich
      DCL

      Compact, very narrow, with huge pressing from wingers and DCL

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        same this is what i think too

    Where can I find the Members Cup draw for this week?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Its off this week... due to issues they had.. will resume next week again.. this week void

      1. Ronnie Hotdog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Ok, thanks.

  3. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling Owners i wouldn't worry too much of a Cameo...

    KDB and Aguero will get a run out for some match fitness... thats 2 attacking subs there Pep will make....

    Sub 1 and Vc active...

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      What if they are 2-0 down?

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        very likely that is....

    2. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Actually that's a good point.

    3. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      KDB wont be risked especially in a high octane game if result is still in the balance

      Kun and Sterling will come on if game needs impetus

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        risked? he s in the squad

        1. Vobinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Doesn't mean he'll come on. After last time, Pep will be very patient with him.

          He will only come on if the game is won and City are dominating. If Everton are anything close to matching City in the middle of the park, KDB won't be thrown into the fire and risk another injury. Plus, he's nowhere near match fit to handle a competitive PL game.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 17 days ago

            If he was an injury risk just coming on, he wouldnt be in the squad...

  4. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Laughable how people sold Salah for Sterling considering the form he’s in

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Depends on how the funds have been used tbf they are not the same price so it’s silly to judge it as a one transfer

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Irrespective it’s absurd to sell Salah, severe punishment over next 3 ...

    2. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Alright Tim Henman

    3. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I actually think this site might be partly to blame! It’s becoming an echo chamber for template teams. Instead of form / fixtures being the deciding factor, popularity on here as a choice is now causing people to think players are essential, sometimes beforehand they have even done anything.

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        *before they have done anything

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Not blaming the site, I just think this might be a consequence of its imcreasing popularity.

      2. Goat
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        To blame? Let the idiots be sheep, can’t blame the site

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Yeah poor choice of word, see above. Not blaming site at all, but I suspect the increased “sheep effect” might be playing a part! This site is fantastic, not got a bad word to say about it.

      3. EgyptianKing
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        In my opinion each one here is providing the others with his own analysis, opinions and suggestions.

        GW after GW, many of us are right and many of us are wrong. It is just part of the game.

        Each one should use the tools provided here (both the ones which are member exclusive and this comments section as well) to form its own opinion and take own decisions

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          I agree totally. But my point was more that in the past, people had far less information about players and slowly developed strategies and squads based on learning the game. Now you have access to seasoned players’ advice, statistical analysis and data etc to help you, plus a ton of comments to read through that also provide input. So for a novice, with little confidence in your own strategy as new to the game, the temptation to make changes constantly based on, seemingly, strong advice must be high. It takes a few seasons before you realise the dangers of knee jerking and learn to hold firm with your choices.

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 17 days ago

            Fair points mate.

            Cheers

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Bet you were inside your cave all season until Salah scores that cheeky hattrick.

  5. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    No Man City or Kane. So far so good,

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      City are FPL coke. Can’t help themselves myself included

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Nice analogy! Like all addictive things, it’s the prospect of a spectacular high, combined with the shame and risk of a major low, that makes it so enticing. City, without doubt the crack cocaine of the fantasy football world.

    2. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Must have £20m itb

        Team linked

      2. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Bought in F.Anderson for Martial this week.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Kane haul

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        I suspect you are right! Couldn’t get him in without major change in strategy unfortunately. Hoping overall squad will out perform him and ive taken a punt on captain Hazard this week. All fingers crossed.

  6. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    So it seems sterling was rested because of giving Mahrez a chance other than getting a rest so we should see him come on around 60 for one of the wingers so can still do well

    1. rokonto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      He better do else i won't b appy!

  7. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Been thinking that the racism stuff could have played a part in Sterling being benched. To drop him would be negative but to keep him on the bench helps shield him till things die down.

    1. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      That’s a load of old bull****

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I doubt it .

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        It’s been at the back of my mind all week, so when I saw he was benched it had an air of inevitability about it. But you’re probably right.

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Go to bed mate ffs

    4. rokonto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Naaah mate

  8. Goat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    No sterling. Me and Villa Ronke are just genius

  9. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    So happy how this Sterling move has worked out. Going straight out for Hazard I think. Rotation is just too much now.

    1. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      F pep. F city

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      It really doesn't matter. All that matters is his score and he's up there with the very best. Why would rotation even bother you knowing that he'll probably play the next match and haul

      Baffling anger

    3. rokonto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      If hazzy does well 2day I'll b lookin at in 4 sterling

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling and Mahrez anyone?

    1. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Could scream pts

    2. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Still prefer Sterling and Sane.

      With Sterling & Mahrez it's very likely only one of them will ever play. You can eat the jackpot with Sane & Sterling now and again.

      1. LSK
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Agree with this

        1. EgyptianKing
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Agree!

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Owned them for weeks and it's paying off. Apart from the Chelsea game.

    3. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Neither.

      Just Sane, opt for Salah and Hazard instead of Sterling and have Kun up top. KDB also an option instead of Sterling and save 2m

      1. andywalks5300
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        I got sterling in covering whilst kun out, as soon as he is fit and running again sterling out and kun back in....

  11. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    ffs cup delayed because sterling is benched?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      😆

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Organiser has Sterling & Stones 😉

  12. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    4th round of cup for non members? Is it postponed for next GW or what?

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      No, they had technical difficulties

  13. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Going forward i still think Sane and Sterling are the 2 best options

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Salah to Sterling transfer utter fail 🙁

    Goal and assist minimum!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      hopefully. As much as I rate Digne from an attacking point of view, his defensive capabilities are lacking

  18. Dynamic Duos

    2. Andy'81

    Go Go Kane Auba Salah!

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Sane is going to do nothing?

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Kun and Mendy was the best combo. Hopefully in sprin they are back in my team 🙂

      I feared sterling having a bad performance without both dilva and kdb. no fears anymore he will do just fine on bench

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years

        hahaha

    sterling locked (c) vs palace?

    1. Epic Fail

      Yeah

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I'd go with a captain that plays personally.

  29. Astronautovic

    0:0 incoming

  30. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Cup rival has Sterling captain and a hit.
    So far, so good.
