      Toby and Moura on the bench.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years

  4. Touré De Force
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Leicster 9/2 ftw here. Too big to ignore, exactly the type of game that suits them.

        Whizzer, any chance of posting teams without first names....bit of a pain in the Llorente, to be honest....

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Guaita
      Robbo TAA Doherty
      Son Camarasa Salah Pogba
      Rashford Jimenez Auba

    4. tambourineman
      • 9 Years

      Vardy benched

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not surprised

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Tielemans will be interesting

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

      Alderweireld benched ffs

    7. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Imagine dropping Vardy against Spurs. Always scores against them

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Definite problems there.

    8. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        all this bloody rotation is killing my interest for this game

      2. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Ffs...Gylfi and Digne both hit the bar leaving Holebas with 7 points last on my bench... fkn AWB now comes in for Toby. Can’t make it up

    9. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Let’s see if Harvey Barnes impresses again. Looks a really good player so far.

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy officially dead as an FPL option?

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Carrier pigeon?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Eh?

      2. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Was never an option this season anyway tbh

    11. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years

      Party canceled

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Did they run out of skittles or something?

    12. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      2ft which of the moves to do:

      A) Rich > Anderson/Jota
      B) Ings > Rondon
      C) Digne > Kola/Pereira

      Etheridge
      Robbo TAA Doherty Awb (Digne)
      Salah Son Pogba (Haz, Rich)
      Rash Jimmy (Ings)

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        A. Would probably do Fanderson.

    13. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No Lamela in team or bench? Other players might get to touch the ball....

    14. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Both bgws 31 and 33 will be confirmed after Chelsea-United?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Nope only bgw 31.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No. GW33 only confirmed after FA Cup QFs in GW31

      3. GianniBanani
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years

        4231 prob

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Back 4
        3 central mids
        Eriksen & Son floating about
        1Target man

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I was wondering if it'd be that.

    17. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester playing a 2-8 formation today!

    18. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That Leicester side . . Who the f is the striker?!

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Gray

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          He has done it before

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I guess CS for Spurs, then!

    19. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone getting in Pereira now for Leicester's kind run? He's class.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'm

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          For Digne*

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah - unless Palace get knocked out of the cup and I decide to get a Toon defender instead

      3. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        has been waiting on my bench, ready for next run of fixtures

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Hopefully this Vardy thing doesn't become a soap opera as it would distract. Also, would deprive Pereira of a good striker to assist.

      4. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Either him, Maguire or Chilwell, plenty of time to decide.

    20. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Logic to do
      Sane>Anderson
      Aguero > Auba/Laca Free
      Is it worth it to also upgrade Kamara to Arnie -4 but its leaves me 0.1 if Aguero raises I cannot get home back.

      I appreciate feed back.

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Him not home lol

    21. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Would like an assist or goal from Trippier today.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        yes please

    22. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Triple MUN = 0-3
      Triple LIV = 3-0
      Triple Spurs = I'll take a 3-0 win 😉

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        😮
        I thought i have too many eggs in 2-3 baskets.
        3 pool
        2 United
        2 Wolves

        But you beat me @ that.

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah...just need a big performance from Spurs and I'll be quite content that I went down that route, fingers crossed!

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            GL

    23. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy-Puel bustup? Insane to bench Vardy vs Spurs, he's the ideal striker to play for an underdog team imo. Shocking decision.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        He might be njured. Take some cool it juice until we know pal.

    24. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy benched?

      1. Goat
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No

    25. Scheister
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Playing draft on a different site. Need to play one and drop one for Spurs match. Any advice? Cheers

      Llorente
      Sanchez

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        play attacker

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        can you get Sanchez back easily? probably Llorente for this game, but Kane will be back soonish

    26. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Come on Trippier, Son and Llorente!!!!!!!!!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        C'mon Trippier, Son & Eriksen!!!!!!!!
