    Help appreciated

    Schmeichel
    Robertson/TAA/Luiz/Schindler/Lascalles*
    Salah/Hazard/Fraser/FAnderson
    Wilson

    Hart - Pogs - Rashford - Jimenez

    1.3 itb 0FT

    Was happy to get 11 players without taking a hit but now Lascalles is down, should I
    A - Lascalles to rice
    B - Rashford to a striker (who?) will lose 0.4 in value
    C - Play with 10

    Too much value tied up in Pogs and Jimenez. FH32 is the plan btw. Much appreciated guys

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

      Just realised I only lose .3 value on Pogs (not enough sleep) so Switching Pogs is an option too

    2. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      In a good position mate I would do Lacelles >> rice personally.

      I am in not such a good position thoughts on my post below?

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

        Get Rice!

  2. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A B or C? 1FT. 2M ITB ( FH 32) Currently have 11 already playing 31.

    A) Bednarek to Luiz ( Means Benching Balbuena vs Hfield- who may or may not play)
    B) McNeil to Fraser ( then hope Balbuena starts)
    C) Aguero to Wilson ( Lose 300k to only bring him back next week)

    Boruc
    VVD Diop Balbuena
    Mane Salah hazard Brooks Mcneil
    Rondon Vardy

    Patricio Doherty Aguero Bendarek

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

      Got any indication Balbuena will start?

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I don't have anything concrete... i just feel he was 1st choice. Played under 23's last week. Was on bench last week also- wham lost 3-1- feel if ever he s going to start it could be now....

        Purely speculation

  3. NX rising
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Have been away for a while. Can someone enlighten me on the teams playing both gw31 n gw33?

    Really need to fix my team

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      West Ham
      Burnley
      Bournemouth
      Chelsea
      Hudd
      Leicester
      Liverpool

      Maybe
      Newcastle

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

      Post your team & chips remaining

  4. George James
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best scenario?

    A)

    GW31 (currently on -8 with 8 players)
    Boruc
    Alonso • Robbo • TAA • Rice
    Salah(c) • Anderson • Hazard
    Wilson

    GW32 use Free Hit

    B)

    GW31 use Free hit

    GW32 -8 to get 7 double Gameweek players and use TC on Sterling

    Both options I will WC in 33/34...

    1. Mr Q
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      In your case, FH this week. Will sort out the headache of when to play tc/BB 🙂

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

      Tough position but personally would FH32.
      The -8 you take now will help you set up GW33 as well, more teams will play then so will probably not need to take another hit.

      Mr Q has a valid point regarding BB/TC option though.

  5. Mr Q
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fraser, Brooks or maddison? For this week and gw33

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Fraser if fit

  6. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Already on -4:

    Flappy
    TAA, Pereira, Shaw*
    Hayden, Haz, F Anderson, Salah
    Jimi*, King, Vardy

    Pat, AWB, Pog, Bednarek

    1.3m ITB
    Any else worth a hit?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nah

  7. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Repost!

    Fab
    Robertson Luiz Digne
    Mane Almiron Anderson(vc) Lanzini
    Vardy Firmino Wilson(c)

    Button Sterling WanB Doherty

    I have 0.7m itb and 0ft...

    Is this a good enough team for this week?
    And captain choice? I am concerned Mane won't play!!

    I have all chips available and will be using FH in GW32

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Mane definitely out, better to take a hit

      1. TRE2
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Where do you get that from?

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

        Source?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Mane is not Definitely out, but he didn’t train. I would say he is a yellow/orange flag..

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

        But he is not flagged on FPL

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I’m aware.. there is loads of information on twitter. He didn’t train and was in paid at the end of Bayern game when he consulted medical staff

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Pain*

  8. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys, who do yous think will score the better between Hazard and Wilson?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson

  9. WannabeScout
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    0.01 itb.. Boruc - 4 or blank GK?

  10. billysupertramp
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    In Brooks we trust (if Mane is out for sure).

  11. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Start clyne or Tarkowski?

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

      I would Clyne!

  12. thepirates
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Morning!

    Currently on this team:
    Alisson
    Pereira-Robertson-Lascelles*-AWB*
    Salah(C)-Felipe-Hazard-Camarasa*
    King-Vardy
    Bench: Rashford-Doherty-Pogba

    Got abit unlucky with Lascelles injury so only got 8 playing. Considering following:

    a) camarasa & lacelles > ogbonna (to get whu def coverage) & brooks for -4
    b) camarasa, lacelles & rashford (loose 0,3) > wilson, rice, brooks for a -8 hit. Would get me 11.

    Would really appriciate your thoughts on this or any other solution. Got 1FT and 0,2 ITB.

  13. jose1
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best Wesr Ham defender this week?

    1. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      probably Rice

  14. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Robbo TAA Chilwell
    Salah F.Anderson
    Wilson

    Lloris Button AWB Lascelles Pogba Son Masuaku Jimenez Aguero

    2FT 1.5 ITB
    1) Son for Maddison/Fraser?
    2) Lascelles for Rice?
    3) Button for Fabianski/Boruc?

    1. jose1
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rice or Cresswell?

      1. FPL JOY
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Rice for sure. The kid is very adaptive to premier league and he showed it. After being announced for young player of the year in Ireland and called up for English squad he will play good for sure. Is it enough ? 🙂

  15. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    TC Salah or wait for an easy game for city?

  16. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bring in?

    a) Ake
    b) Pereira.

    Thanks.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ake

  17. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    How are people taking -2’s this week? My transfers are still costing me 4 😀

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      2pts will be refunded after deadline

  18. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Pick one of each. Already have Salah, Higuain + Vardy

    A) Mane
    B) Hazard

    1) Fraser
    2) Maddison

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B1

    2. Effe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B2

  19. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I’m thinking of this week as a transfer window. I could yet turn a profit and even be up having made a huge loss on Kun - bought at 11.2. Made my transfers early and I’m now watching price rises for want of anything else.

    I’d prefer to see these players bouight in to get me another 0.3 Sv .

    Fab
    Hazard
    Fraser

    Loss of differential value is secondary.

  20. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If you’re on FH, go for Mane or not?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      of course

      just make sure you have a decent sub, which should be no issue on FH

      1. mookie
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Could end up with only two Liverpool players if he doesn't show up though, with their defence having over 100% EO.
        I'd go for Firmino if trying to catch up.

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

      Bobby is the solution.

  21. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    how many FH chips will be triggered at 2.30pm today UK time?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      4-6%

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

      I don't think too many people outside this community will play FH in gw 32 tbh.

      It'd be interesting to see how may from here does 😉

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

        At least half the active teams in my ML will either FH or need to take multiple hits this week to put out any sort of side . But it’s not exactly a competitive ML - I’m winning it!

        I suspect there’ll be a strong divergence between top 400-500k or so and further down.

  22. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Am I get?

    Fabianski
    Luiz Pereira Ake Robertson
    Salah(c) Mane(v) Richarlison Fraser

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Doesn't mean points though

  23. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What is this we hearing Mane' out? Is this just because he wasn't spotted in training yesterday? Anything more concrete?

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

      Nope
      We might get more news before deadline as they have one more training session in the morning

  24. Dannywaz
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who's slapping tc on salah then ??

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

      I've slapped it on Mane

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

        Just saw the rumours that he might be out 🙁 guess no TC for me

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ok there ya go

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Utterly ridiculous that imo

  25. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Do we get FT for GW32 if we freehit that GW?2FT for 33 from now??

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No you have 1 FT after using a chip I believe

  26. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Should I get Fraser (even though he is flagged) or some other mid 7.6m or less (Sigurdsson or lanzini).

    Fab
    TAA,Pereira,Luiz
    Salah,mane,almiron,_____
    Wilson,Higuain,Vardy

    1. Bodini
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I went Fraser yesterday even though he is flagged. Howe said he should be ok and I think he is best option for

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I decided against Fraser because of the flag but he could be ok.
      I went Tielemens

  27. No Pirlo No Party
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson - TAA - Luiz
    Salah - Hazard - Richarlison
    Vardy - Wilson - Barnes
    _______________________
    Speroni - Pogba - AWB - Camarasa - Doherty (0FT - £1.4ITB)

    Anything worth a hit to field 11? Unfortunately I’m 0.3 short of Camarasa to Fraser

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Get Brooks?

    2. Bodini
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Camarasa to Brooks?

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        This is the one move I’m considering. Not convinced it’s worth it though.

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Depending on your DGW plan, no.

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        FH. All chips intact.

  28. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    TC salah or wait to put it on Aguero/Sterling/Laporte for a city DGW
    also have BB, FH, WC

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wait!!!

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

      Go for it

  29. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    An 18 day stretch is coming up for City where they play 6 games - 3 against Spurs, 1 probably against Utd in FA Cup, and against Palace and Utd in the league. Crunch time.

  30. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Gtg?

    Fabianski
    Robertson,TAA,Ricardo
    Salah(c)Hazard(vc)Almirión,Tielemens
    Vardy,Barnes,King

    Hamer,Pogba,Doherty,AWB 4m itb 0FT. No hits.
