    1. FPL Pillars

    Rashford -> Vardy (0 ITB) ?

    Kinda worried about UTD busy schedule

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy does nothing for me

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        we should not get him because of that reason then... Ok

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years

  4. Modest Bob

    I would do it. Who cares if he doesnt play he has a cool barnet.

  5. George James

    Alonso >> Azpilicueta -4?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

  6. Scotty B
    • 11 Years

    Which two would you bench?

    A Maddison
    B Richarlison
    C Jimenez
    D Anderson
    E Rondon
    F Doherty

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Have read the article above ?
      How you can even consider benching Doherty ?

      1. Scotty B
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He is playing Chelsea away!

          Stats are pretty clear, Doherty is in for a haul.

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Ok

    Dammit... Vardy in for Rashford tempts....

    Was planning on just Rashford to Wilson next week, saving the FT this week

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would hold on to Rashford this GW and decide next GW.

  8. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know why no Azpi in Chelsea squad tonight? Just rested? Ta.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rested

      1. Krafty Werks

        Thanks.

  9. el polako

    I think Leicester's stats should be taken in with a pinch of salt - we dont know how Brendon Rogers will set them up.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bloody hope they start keeping clean sheets but it’s not really Rodgers strength- attacking assets may benefit but doubt that happens instantly- time will tell

  10. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone still have son? If you had only 0.1 in bank and already owned pogba, who would you be looking to get in? I'm kinda tempted by mahrez/Bernardo.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your chip plan. I’d be tempted by Brooks/Fraser tbh

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Already played WC and think I'm going to be forced in to FH gw31. Without my WC it feels like fools gold to use transfers to build a gw 31 team?

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          In that case yeah don’t bother with GW31 players

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How does this help through the blanks?

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Feels wrong, but surely Doherty is the one to bench out of:

    A) Doherty (che)
    B) AWB (BHA)
    C) Anderson (car)
    D) anyone else

    Team linked. Will be playing Jimenez

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  12. Egbunike
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play one?

    A) A. Barnes (liv)
    B) Doherty (che)
    C) Camarasa (WHU)
    D) Schindler (BOU)

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B, tough.

    3. balint84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      bet on D)

  13. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sell one:

    A) Pogba
    B) Son

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same dilemma- depends on chip strategy

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        How does it depend? FH32 WC34 BB35

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Well if you didn’t have the wildcard you might be FH in 32 but then have to consider who to keep for 34 onwards - since you have the WC it really doesn’t matter unless you have significant value in either or

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Well 0.5 Pogba and 0.2 Son. Cheers will probably sell Son.

          2. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Who are you going for?

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I don’t have the WC so I really need to consider who I want going forwards - son seems to have dropped form but that could just be spurs as a whole. You never know with them and in theory Southampton is the better fixture. That said arsenal played thurs and Pogba has been rested through suspension. It’s tough for GW30 alone - I’d be tempted to keep both and sell for 31

              1. Pukki Party
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Agree with Son it's down to his bad form vs. Spurs have the better fixture than ManUtd. I'm getting Aguero in for this home fixture so selling this week. GL

    What does auba starting tonight mean for Laca?
    Think he will start on weekend? Worth keeping for now

    Pedro G Giroud A

  16. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play 2 of the below:-
    Doherty
    Richarlison
    Anderson
    Jimenez

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

        Yes please

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      AJ for what it's worth.

      lol

  17. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    captain
    - Kane (low ownership, can score against Saints)
    - Salah (very popular capt option)

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If I had kane I'd captain him

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane - good record away from home in these sorts of games

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arry

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Resurgent Southampton team and Spurs post a CL game. Not sure Kane is such a strong captain choice this weekend.

      Mind you, Salah can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo at the moment.

      Sterling(c) for me.

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        not enough money for him 🙁 have Ederson from City that's all

  18. Woody01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    G2G? TC, BB and FH still to play and 1.6 ITB

    Guaita
    Robbo / Pereira / AWB / Shaw
    Salah (C) / Maddison / Mane / Son / Pogba
    King

    Etheridge / Jimenez / Barnes / Doherty

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Out of interest, what were your moves this week?

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Used it to do Kamara > King.

        Gives me more options in upcoming gameweeks where squads will be rotated and then the chance to benefit from Bench Boost later in the season

    2. Toplad
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Same here got TC, BB, FH. How do you plan on playing them? Thanks

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        FH in GW 32, going to take a -4 hit next GW to cover GW31.

        BB and TC totally just depend on fixtures and how I'm feeling tbh with you.

        You?

        1. Toplad
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Same mate -4 hit for 31, FH32 then BB / TC 35 see how it goes

  19. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Son > Fraser now or hold until gw31 (thinking the latter)?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why not Brooks?

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He’s an option, but thinking the run of fixtures make Fraser a better option

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Fraser's stats have massively tailed off the last few GWs.

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Last few GWs have been very difficult fixtures to be fair.

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              True - I split his form 1-15 and 16-29 and the difference was pretty clear. I think Brooks is the better option now he is back fit as he is more direct and will be fresher going into their better fixtures.

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Brooks was played behind Wilson before getting inured. I don't think Fraser will be worth 1m more.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm taking Son out for Brooks this GW. Alli has a fitness test on Friday and if he passes it outside chance he replaces Son.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Food for thought guys. Cheers

    3. Pukki Party

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You might as well play Son vs Soton and have better idea Brooks or Fraser

  21. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Should I do:

    A) Sane -> Hazard
    B) Sane Ings -> Brooks/Fraser + Vardy (-4)

    With B will probably do Sterling -> Hazard next week

  22. theodosios
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which one looks better:
    A) Vardy & Fraser/Brooks
    B) King & Hazard

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough that. Probably B.

      1. theodosios
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah...it's about 40% for A and 60% for B in my head...

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'm planning to have Vardy, Hazard and Brooks. It's King I'm not sure about. I'd probably go for Wilson if I knew he was fine after his injury.

  23. Cruz88

    Bench Almiron or Digne?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Digne

    We don't get in-depth football analysis in the local press here in South Africa, but what is the general level of genuine concern about the Financial Fair Play probe in Man City?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only been said recently so don't know. Clubs have been investigated before but nothings happened

    "The great thing about Arsenal is that the team hurts and disappoints you so much that real life disappointments don't even faze you. How can I be hurt by anything when I've seen Mustafi defend?"

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      there are levels of dissapointment, we chelsea fans think that is hard to cheer for chelsea, but you have to be mazochist to root for arsenal..

      and yet, there are Milan fans...who havent seen the light for a decade

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Last last one hehehe... Captain a Salah or Vardy?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The clue is in the article picture.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Salah - don't think Vardy will have a lot of space to run in behind against Fulham

  27. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years

    The arm band is falling on Kun for me this gw. Anyone else with me?
