    Any further thoughts about what defence Bournemouth will line up with this week?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      It'll be a leaky one

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Better to buy chelsea defence then hmm

      2. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Conceded two in last four at home while playing Chelsea, city and Wolves.

    2. Rainer

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        That's a BINGO!

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      one that concedes hatfuls of goals and is as effective as a sieve against a tidal wave?

  3. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Lascelles to Rice for -4?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Take a look at yourself

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Lascelles is out... so now down to 10 starters frustratingly. Haven’t taken a hit this week yet

  4. Bojaninho
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    have 9 playing with a -4
    another -4 worth for one more?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Depends who your 9 are

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Depends who

    3. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      fab,
      taa, vvd
      hazard, salah, anderson,
      wilson, vardy, rondon

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        You are in pretty good shape as you have all the big hitters and Mane isn’t an option as you have triple Liverpool already. Maybe Fraser might be worth -4

        I don’t see much upside in taking a -4 for a 1 week punt on a defender

  5. Big Ping
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Zambo Anguissa BOUGHT by 4 managers last night, geniuses the lot of em

    1. TheDragon

    2. The Pesci challenge

      Thank you

    3. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Only a 2 point hit if it means fielding 11...

  6. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Son and Kamara to Tielemans and Wilson -4?

  7. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Aguero to Vardy
    Pogba to Fraser
    Son to Hazard
    Bennett to Azpi (-8)

    Leaves me with:
    fabianski
    Van Dijk Robbo Rudiger
    Salah(C) Hazard Fraser Felipe
    Vardy Jiminez Rondon

    Button WB* Hojberg* Bednarek*

    Also will have 2.0itb - needed anywhere?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Gtg

  8. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Fabs
    Pereira TAA
    Hazard Salah Mane
    Rondon Vardy

    1FT, tonnes of budget and will FH 32, so which 1 or 2 players do I bring in (must play 31 & 33)??

    I’m thinking 2 from Wilson, Fraser, Maddison, Luiz, Rice?

  9. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    What's with the big cakes The Malone family always have on display on Gogglebox? Huge

  10. Benditlike
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Repost:

    Its no issue to play just have two playing defenders?
    Guess only one non-playing defender will come on.. maybe a silly question, just want to be sure i havent missed anything that will put one of those playing this week on the bench...

    Will play 2-5-2

  11. Mesh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Son and Laporte to?

    A. Mane and Luiz
    B. Hazard and Rice

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I have B. So go A.

  12. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Jimenez > Wilson for a hit, or GTG?

    Fab
    Robertson, TAA, Clyne, Tarkowski
    Hazard, Salah, FAnderson, Brooks
    Higuain, Vardy
    Subs; Pogba, Jimenez, AWB

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      If you think Wilson will score more than 1 goal then do it

      1. TheBabyfacedAssassin
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        The question is more if Clyne and/or Higuan plays though

  13. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Slighlty concerned about Higuian, shall I just hang fire or lose him for Vardy for a hit?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Hold

  14. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Who is a better pick?

    A- Robertson
    B- VVD

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Has to be A imo

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      B

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Can't go wrong with either.

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Best Mid out of these lots?

    Lanzini/Antonio/Fanderson/Pedro/Maddison

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Maddison

  16. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Fraser (NEW, BUR) or Maddison (bur, hud)?

    Have Vardy, Wilson & Brooks & Periera.

    Cheers! 🙂

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I personally prefer Fraser, especially with home matches.

  17. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Rashford owners with value invested in him - what is your plan? Especially if you are using FH 32 and WC 34.

    Are you ditching him now and taking the loss?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I have this issue with Jiménez. Points are so shiny and serious fomo with Wilson but it does seem a bit wreckless if you have a lot in them.

    2. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Taking the loss. Lukaku challenging also.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Might also have one eye on the Barcelona game? Although just looking they have 8 days between Wolves (A) in PL and Barcelona.

  18. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Charlie daniels to rip it up in 31 and 33 right?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Well, it’s possible I suppose, nice price.

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Does he have more points in his last seven starts than Salah?

        Silliness aside, I think he is being a little overlooked. Home games count for something.

  19. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Free hitting GW32
    Its best to hit the button tomorrow right?
    I am thinking team value

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Yep.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Can you ask Mark if Mane will play ?

        1. WE ARE RANGERS
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          He said mane will start

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Yes I think so

    3. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Yeah, although doubt there will be many changes due to international break.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      What if DGW isnt as big as expected ?

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I'd make max 2 transfers and wait for monday when we'll probably know the fixtures before activating fh. Still a possibility wildcard is better for 32 depending on fixtures.

  20. ignis88
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    If you had all the chips apart from the WC how would you play them?

    Have a full team for this G/W for a 4, was considering TC this week on Mané.Then FH next week, and BB for the double.

    Now with the Mané news not so sure..

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      It's also looking like, for me: TC31, FH32, WC34, BB35

      Involves the WC, but the same otherwise. I may/may not chicken out of TC this week, but feels as good as any.

  21. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Barnes, perez, rondon or arna? Not a free hit son not that keen on arnautovic since he has bad fixtures in 33 and 34

  22. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Who scores more this week hazard or Fraser?

  23. StoneMountain
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Question... I have 2ft’s, if I use them now I’m preparation for GW32 will they still be in place if use my free hit this week?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      No, they'll be cancelled once the cheap is activated and you'll only have a single FT afterwards.

      1. StoneMountain
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks. That’s a bummer.

  24. Not again Shirley
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    So do Man City play against Cardiff in week 33 then?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Only if they knocked out of the cup.

  25. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    10 starting.

    fabianski

    robertson vvd pereira

    sala fanderson hazard fraser

    vary wilson

    any moves would cost me points, reckon i can wing it with that bunch of misfits?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Good enough

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        thanks Joe

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Who else would you want? You’ve got all the big hitters (other than mane) you are in great shape

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        thanks buddy, will take that as a solid vote of confidence

        Mane scares me, i think Higuain could do well and the lack of an 11th player (such as a chelsea def) makes me a little uncomfortable but don't fancy the hits

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Famous last words but there can’t be much upside to a -4 for a 1 week punt on a defender.

          1. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            :)true that. wry smile when luiz bangs a brace and a cleanie

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 14 days ago

              I’ve got Luiz so fingers crossed!

  26. TeamSteam
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Any news on Higuain? Surely we expect him to recover from a little illness in a few days time? And what`s the deal with the Manè rumours? Any truth to them or just someone trolling for kicks?

  27. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Have 9 players now that lascelles is out. Is it worth a hit to move him out for Rice (HUD)

    No hits taken so far

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      no cos rice is at Chelsea gw33 if you do the hit do it for a defender you would want to play both weeks unless of course you could get 11 out and bdnch rice 33 then id do it

    2. NIKO.
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I would he’s not guaranteed to play 33 either and hopefully Rice will get you those points back and more over 31 and 33

  28. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    And the armband goes to:
    1 - Salah
    2 - Vardy
    3 - Hazard
    4 - Robbo (better options than my recent picks, so...why not?)

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Sarah from those

      no Mane?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        No Mané

    2. Moore FPL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Salah

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Sarah

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Salah

  29. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    9 players..

    But higuain (illness) and Mane (foot) doubts

    Worth taking hits?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't take hits for doubts.
      I'd consider taking hits to get up to 11 potentially as if a player plays, the hit only costs 2 points.

  30. Moore FPL
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Fabianski Hamer
    Arnold Perreira Digne Doherty Wan Bissaka
    Salah Mane Pogba Fraser Hjoberg
    Vardy Rashford Jiminez

    1 FT, 1.3 ITB
    Pretty sure I'm gonna do Jiminez -> Wilson (he's risen 0.2 since I bought him whereas Rashford has risen 0.3)
    Thinking about Pogba -> Tielemans and Wan Bissaka -> Rice (Doherty has risen 0.8 since I bought him)
    Yay or nay? Other option is Rashford -> Barnes
