    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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Get Rice!

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

      Got any indication Balbuena will start?

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

      West Ham
      Burnley
      Bournemouth
      Chelsea
      Hudd
      Leicester
      Liverpool

      Maybe
      Newcastle

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

      Post your team & chips remaining

  4. George James
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

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

    Fraser, Brooks or maddison? For this week and gw33

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

      Fraser if fit

  6. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Nah

  7. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Mane definitely out, better to take a hit

      1. TRE2
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Where do you get that from?

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

        Source?

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

        But he is not flagged on FPL

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

            Pain*

  8. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      Wilson

  9. WannabeScout
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    0.01 itb.. Boruc - 4 or blank GK?

  10. billysupertramp
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  11. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Start clyne or Tarkowski?

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

      I would Clyne!

  12. thepirates
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    Best Wesr Ham defender this week?

    1. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      probably Rice

  14. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Rice or Cresswell?

      1. FPL JOY
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    TC Salah or wait for an easy game for city?

  16. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bring in?

    a) Ake
    b) Pereira.

    Thanks.

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

      Ake

  17. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      2pts will be refunded after deadline

  18. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    A) Mane
    B) Hazard

    1) Fraser
    2) Maddison

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B1

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

      B2

  19. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      of course

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

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

      Bobby is the solution.

  21. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      4-6%

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

    Am I get?

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

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn't mean points though

  23. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    Who's slapping tc on salah then ??

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've slapped it on Mane

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ok there ya go

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

        Utterly ridiculous that imo

  25. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No you have 1 FT after using a chip I believe

  26. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Get Brooks?

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

      Camarasa to Brooks?

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

      Depending on your DGW plan, no.

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

        FH. All chips intact.

  28. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Wait!!!

    2. Dannywaz
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

  29. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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

    Gtg?

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