      *disappointing month

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

    Go with these transfers?
    Aguero to Vardy
    Pogba to Fraser
    Son to Hazard
    Bennett to Azpi (-8)

    Allows a team of 10 for the blank
    fabianski
    Van Dijk Robbo Rudiger
    Salah Son* Pogba* Felipe
    Aguero* Jiminez Rondon

    Button WB* Hojberg* Bednarek*

    Also leaves 2.0itb to bring in sterling or aguero for 33

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

      I thought City likely to have no game in GW33? If this is correct you wont need to plan to save money for Kun or Sterling. Confirmation welcome!

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

        Wait why?

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

    A) Aguero, Son to Wilson/Vardy Mane -4 (10 playing)
    B) Aguero, Son, Kamara to Wilson, Vardy, Mane -8 (11 playing)

  4. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years

    Best GK for this week and guaranteed GW33. I am thinking Kepa or Boruc. money no object.

    Cheers

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fabs maybe?

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, but West Ham play Chelsea in GW33.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd get Boruc just incase money becomes an issue in GW33, with an injury/dropping etc.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, but I will have 4.4 in the bank after planned transfers.

  5. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years

  6. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Seems like this was last Higuaín update from Sarri

    Sarri asked via Chelsea TV after the game yesterday if Higuain will be ready

    Sarri replied "Oh I think so he had a stomach ache and a fever but no injury so I think and I hope he will be available"

    If dgw 32 goes as expected by Ben Crellin, what would be your perfect FH team? Fire away!

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You first.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Something like,

      Ryan
      Laporte Luiz Dalot
      Sterling Hazard Pogba Son
      Aguero Jimenez Zaha

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice.
        I’d rather have Ederson,Duffy over Ryan,Laporte but that might cost a little extra.

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea
      Luiz
      Azpilicueta

    If only we were allowed to post photos here

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      This isn't the place to show it.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If its the photo everyone is looking for, you should sell it to the highest bidder.

    3. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years

      Posting the URL is effectively posting the photo.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. Not rocket science

  9. CHARLIE HULL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Got King in last week which now looks like a mistake. Could double up with Wilson this week or get Vardy?

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He doesnt look like a mistake when it comes to home matches

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy, King takes the pens

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He could easily score this week.
      I’m going Fraser,Vardy

    4. Taking one for the team
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spread the risk, Vardy

  10. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Pereira / TAA / Robertson / Lascelles
    Fraser / Salah / Hazard / Hayden
    Wilson

    Boruc / Jimenez / Doherty / Pogba / Aguero
    1FT & 1.0ITB

    A. Doherty to Luiz
    B. Doherty & Lascelles to Luiz & 4.6 DEF (-4)
    C. ???

      They also put a man on the moon.

      Virg broke this story ages ago.

      1. TheDragon

        Superb

      3. Hooky

        Virg would prefer to be breaking a hymen but this is unfortunately all he is capable of.

        I hope it's true, Virg is at his best when he's being smug

    2. The Pesci challenge

      Sell Mane for a -2?

    6. Bring the Cavalry

    7. La Vida Latte

      147 days ago? Old news is fake news...

  12. The Strokes
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Higuain or Barnes? I'm on a free hit.

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes for me

    2. Taking one for the team
      • 8 Years

      H bomb

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    was all set on mane, what do we make of this then

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

      Wait until tomorrow and hope for mor info

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Be madness to get him in now, surely.

    3. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If they want to win the league me and the whole world think he must play

    4. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wasn't taken off injured.
      Just given a break today.
      They want the title

    5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      just get another 31 33 player on the bench as cover

    6. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Still on till officially told otherwise

    7. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      All hear say isn’t it. I have him and I’ll sleep just fine tonight.

    8. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on a free hit. Not sure whether to take him out and double up on the Liverpool defence instead.

    9. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Make of what?

    10. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you’ve already got him obviously hold.

      Those free hitting / considering bringing him in for a -4 have more of a decision

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

    Mane to Babel (-8) ?

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, take out Firmino for Kamara too.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only for -20

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Non brainer.

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

    Is there a scenario in which Mane didnt train in the last session but will play the next game?

    Or are the photos from all the sessions and he isnt in a single one? (meaning he did not train at all)

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of course. I seem to remember a similar scare in a previous season.

      Doesn't mean he's out, but is a concern.

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

        Thanks

  16. Lionel Ronaldo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wait what, Kamara has been deleted from the game? What of owners?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no i didnt get deleted

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Owners can sell, you just can't buy.

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but I mean as long as there is one person who has him, he should be able to buy at least as a bench fodder. You just don't delete public data.

  17. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing? Don't shoot me, I'm just putting it out there....

    I think Arnautovic WILL start Vs Huddersfield

    If he does, I would be surprised if he doesn't reach double figures.

    Triple Captain that and you have a differential.

    Okay, there's Chelsea GW33 but traditionally Hammers are always up for that fixture

  18. Poseidon.
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    We should play a midfield 3 of Fred Pogsy and Herrera imo

    Matic too slow for Barca

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I really think it's as simple as if Messi turns up then we're done.

  19. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How does this Free Hit team look, would you change anything??

    Fabianski
    Rice / Robertson / David Luiz
    Mané / Fraser / Salah / Hazard
    Wilson / Higuaín / Vardy

    Bench.. Boruc / Ogbonna / McNeil / Stankovic

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

      If you ask virtually everyone you should take Mané but good to go to me

  20. MURPH707
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Etheridge to Burch for a -4? Using FH in 32

    1. MURPH707
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Damn autocorrect... Boruc

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, why not.

    2. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Burch? Kindly elaborate

      1. MURPH707
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Was meant to be Boruc

  21. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I am looking at this lot, having used my FT. Thinking of ditching Sterling for a hit (and maybe bringing in a GK if Foster has no game in GW33). Help me pick a mid please.

    ( )
    TAA Pereira Balbuena (Yedlin AWB)
    Salah Haz Fanderson xxxx (Pogba)
    Barnes Wilson Firmino

    a) Fraser
    b) Brooks
    c) Maddison
    d) Barnes
    e) Start Yedlin and hope both he and Balbuena start
    e) Tielemans

    Cheers and good luck for the run in...

    1. MURPH707
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. That is what I have ben thinking all week. Now, I am erring towards one of the Leicester lads given they have Hud in GW33.

        FH32 by the way.

        1. JoeSoap
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You will have another transfer GW33, could get Leicester player then. Fraser for me as well.

  22. mr messi
    • 13 Years

    Fraser yellow flagged!!??

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes he had a few knocks but Howe said he “should” be ok.

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      was he on the picture?

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      He's Scottish, he'll be alright

  23. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Evening ladies and gentlemugs!

    Just a quick one, do I play Free hit with only 4 players this week and 2FTs?
    TAA, Salah, Mane, Boruc.

    Boruc*
    TAA* | Doherty | Bednarek
    Salah* | Mane* | Son | Pogba | Camarasa
    Kane | Aguero

    Speroni | Bennett | Peltier | Kamara

    1. FPL Pillars

    Fraser is not injured, they just rushed his obligatory "international injury" info,

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      England will be able to cope without him.

    2 Questions:

    1) Which option is better?

    A) Maddison - Fraser - Allison +4pts

    Or

    B) Mane - Arnie - Fabianski

    2) Who is the best option out of these?

    Maddison/Pedro/One of the West Ham mids

    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
