    Giving this team next GW and then WC who would you get rid of?

    Fab / Hamer
    Alonso / Schindler / Doherty / AWB / Balbuena
    Sterling / Sane / Anderson / Richarlison / Fraser
    Kane / Aguero / Success

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team! Wc to do what?
      Maybe get a defense

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yep just missing Liverpool.

        1. Rider on the Storm
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Salah?

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah I’d like Salah and Hazard.....

    2. Klein
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe get rid of kane to fund salah for fraser?

      1. Klein
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Or hazard

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers Klein....a couple of reds for you but see you coming back now.

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Want to get rid of Kane but his fixtures from GW 18 to GW 28 are great

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for the replies guys

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I'm in the same boat as you, regarding Kane. So f'ing frustrating, but he has a great run of fixtures.

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          BOU then WOLVES and Cardiff.....surely big points and worth giving him the C.

    4. Bialystrzelec
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison/Fraser, Balbuena > Robertson/TAA and fodder is enough

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers....yeah Fraser and Balbuena May have to go.

  2. doy

    Morning Dave, killing it mate!

  3. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What are the news about Morata? Is Giroud an option now?

  4. drughi
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is Kane worth it ? Fixtures looks good over Christmas. The thought of downgrading him to cheap striker and go with a power 5 midfield has crossed my mind. Masuaku and Kane > Sterling and Kamara -4 worth it for example ? Go 3-5-2

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Easy no

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        probably will

    3. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’s good cause he’s nailed for every fixture mostly

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        nailedonness is a factor also, that's true

    4. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Just keep for christmas. We'll all want aguero when he is back up and running anyway - easy downgrade

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        yeah I'm a sucker for 3-4-3 so will probably keep

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

      The Everton and Bournemouth game will be something els than Burnley. Burnley never had an intention to score a goal

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

      I would keep him

  5. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Cheers lads. What to do here?

    Really want to bank a FT next week, but don’t want to lose more value on Silva + want a playing player, ideally Sane.

    A) Laporte Silva -> Digne Sane
    B) -«- -> Balbuena Sane
    C) Silva -> Son
    D) ?

    Appreciate all help!

    Patricio
    Alonso Robbo Laporte Doherty
    Sterling Silva* Fraser Anderson
    Auba(c) Kane

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      easy a

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        For a hit, forgot to say

  6. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Alli - keep or ship?

    9.4 to spend if shipping and the rest of the attacking 8 is:

    Sane - Alli - Richarlison - F.Anderson - Billing
    Kane - Lacazette - Wilson

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

      Monitor Laca today, he could be your piggy bank to get Sterling instead of Alli

    2. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He could go for Son but Alli had chances to score points yesterday so it’s not like he’s doing nothing

  7. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will Ings start? Been patience with him now it's time to deliver

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Should do once fully fit

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good option when fit.

      Southampton are going to need to start scoring goals too if they’re going to have any hope of staying up.

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

    Who comes out on top?

    A) Alisson, Robbo, Alonso, Salah, Herrera and Torreira
    B) Kola, Auba and 23 points

    1. shawry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’d say B by 10 points

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B comfortable

  9. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bednarek (3.9) is starting today for Southampton vs Arsenal.

    (Info from journalist than can be trusred)

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What’s the arsenal team?

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry, just Bednarek info

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          No worries

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Shame he’s usually the reason there will be no CS so not an option for me

  10. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    GTG? 1 FT 0,1 in the bank

    Fabianski
    Kola/Bellerin/Balbuena
    Sterling/Fanderson/Richarlison/Hazard
    Kane/Auba(c)/Jimenez

    Hammer/Doherty/AWB/Stephens

    Thoughts on Eriksen

    6pts PG avg last 5 He's

    Does he have on going problems?

    I have him but on here people suggesting Anderson is better option

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Too many questions regarding his time on the pitch for me. Key player for spurs but I’m waiting to see how things pan out.

  12. Arn De Gothia
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hi, anyone know who plays in goal for CP now? Is Guaita (4,2) no 1? Thanks

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Still Hennessey until proven otherwise, Guaita only played on this occasion cause Hennessey picked up a late back injury in training.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        ok, thanks

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hennessey was injured so we'll have to wait and see.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        ok, Thanks

  13. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not planning any transfers this GW unless there are injuries. Agree or not?

    Fabianski
    Doherty - Lowe - Alonso
    Pereyra - Sterling - Richarlison - Anderson
    Kane - Aubameyang(c) - Wilson

    Hamer - Camarasa - Digne - AWB

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      digne over doherty

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep very similar team to mine, my only main issue is whether to give Wilson one more or not...

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I'm getting rid after the Brighton game (barring him being injured midweek). Not sure who to replace him with though.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Chico time

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years

      I'm playing Digne over Doh

  14. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I’m gonna try save the FT, unless you guys spot anything ? Could do with a second pair of eyes. 0.5 ITB.

    Ederson
    kolas, Doherty, Alonso
    Sane (v), Sterling (c), Fanderson, Rich
    Kane, Laca, Jiminez

    Hamer, Digne, AWB, hojberg

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Save FT

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      There nothing requiring a change there, so take the opportunity to save the FT.

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Save

  15. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Save a ft here?

    Ederson
    TAA Balbuena Alonso
    Sane Eriksen Anderson Richarlison
    Kane Aubameyang Chicharito

    Button Brooks Doherty Wan

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, good team.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Have you heard any update on TAA injury situation?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No but I'm not selling and will leave him my line up

  16. Ozzy smith
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Only just noticed Laca is flagged, anyone know why? Can't find any info.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’s not but you’re not the first person to think this. A bug ?

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Must be, or they know something we don't! Lol.

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I saw him flagged earlier too!

  17. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    1FT, 0.7 ITB, thoughts:

    Allison, Hamer

    Robertson, Keane, Doherty, Balbuena, AWB

    Sane, Alli, Richarlison, F Anderson, Stephens

    Kane, Aubameyang, Chicharito

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

      That's impressive team. Consider Robertson to Alosno, if you have Alison already for better fixtures.

  18. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    1 FT / £1.2 ITB

    Patricio Button
    Alonso Laporte Doherty Löwe AWB
    Sterling Hazard Sane Richarlison Diangana
    Kane Mitrovic Jimenez

    Anything worth spending FT
    Thanks all

  19. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What was the Trent news before the weekend? Heard he was confirmed out but didn’t hear how soon he was likely back?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nothing definite

      • DLL18
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        2 weeks was what was reported, But not sure how accurate that is.

    2. BeDreamin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      My current team is:

      Fab (fodder)

      Alonso, Laporte, Robertson, Luiz (AWB)

      Richarlison, Sterling, Anderson, (Paterson, fodder)

      Kane, Wilson, Auba

      Should I:
      A) save transfer
      B) Laporte to Trippier although fixtures work again this
      C) Paterson to Snoddy

    3. cuppatea78
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of getting rid of either Fraser or Richarlison for F. Anderson.

      If I get if Fraser I have to downgrade Also to Luiz to free up enough money (I will then have over £1m left after the transfer). Richarlison to F. Anderson would be a straight swap.

      What do you think?

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If you have Jimenez I would keep Fraser for sure. Both good value, rotate well and Wilson is back.

        1. cuppatea78
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah have Jiminez, Wilson and Fraser.

          Need to get F Anderson in some how I think

          Midfield is Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, Fraser (Hojbjerg)

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Good midfield. I think you’d be better off trying to get Snodgrass in for hojbjerg to be honest. Richarlison has decent fixtures and should out score Anderson in the coming months

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

      Sterling owners, you guys have watched the documentary all or nothing?
      It shows last year Pep’s right arm warning the team CRY are no joke at all and it actually ended up a draw.

      I am very confident Pep Will go full strength this WE with both sterling and sané starting

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Haven't considered selling either

      2. curtin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        To early to bring in De Bruyne???

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Yes think so

        2. Dacra
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Save or get rid of Laporte?

          Pat (Hamer)
          Alonso - Kolasinac - Laporte (AWB, Bennett)
          Haz - Sane - Sterling - Son (Hojbjerg)
          Auba - Chicharito - Wilson

            Before Palace at home?

            I’d certainly save.

            1. drughi
              • 14 Years

              this

              Hard to argue with that, ta.

        3. Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          What would you do with this team? Would you get Sterling in for Salah?

          1ft, 0.7itb

          Hart
          Laporte - Robertson - Digne
          Salah(vc) - Sane(C) - Richarlison - FAnderson
          Kane - Wilson - Chicharito

          Patricio - Doherty - Hojbjerg - AWB

          1. drughi
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Salah have wolves away sure but then he has Newcastle at home.

            • 7 Years

            Hi. Maybe in gw 20?

        4. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Had Kane in Team for last 2 GWs really hoping for something Big.

          12 points from those2 fixtures is one of the worst FPL returns from expensive Asset in recent Memory

          1. FPL ZB
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Add in the 24 the week before that a lot of us got though and it’s not too bad at all

          2. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            It really isn't.

            1. McSauce
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              It was TBF!

              Salah was a clear captain that week but Kane Fixture meant had to give armband if you have him!

              So not only did he only get 1 but lost 21 on Salah C

              1. J T
                • 6 Years

            Yes. Disappointing. Patience required. Salah was the same until his hat trick.

          Shame there is no Spurs defensive asset (other than Lloris) who is nailed. After next week their fixtures are excellent up to and including GW27.

                What’s that based on? He’s missed a grand total of two games this season

          Only got Auba, Salah and Alisson left.. not ideal. Any idea of Auba’s EO in top 10k?
