    So this morning's dilemma...
    A. TC Salah this week. Great fixture and Mane doubt.
    B. Wait. Hope for an extra dgw or fall back on GW36 Hud if needs be.

    1. The Rock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B for me. Salah isnt in the best form right now.

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Im going to wait

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      A

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 1 month ago

      If Mane is a doubt I see Liverpool assets as being less attractive.

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

        No way - it’s Fulham. Liverpool won’t struggle to score and certainly won’t look anymore likely to concede because he’s out. Plus Salah could finally be the main man again with him out.

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

          Well, I disagree.

            I agree. We have spurs after the into. Gw too. Fulham is prime for rests

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

    Fabianski
    Robertson, Pereira, BEDNAREK
    Salah, Mane, Maddison, Anderson
    Vardy, Wilson, RASHFORD

    0 Free transfers and 0.5 in the bank.

    Is a 4 point hit on Rashford to King the best option this week?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure i would having wilson too

    2. mo 10 years on FFS? Join my…

      Arni. He is my captain 😉

  3. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba > Hazard. Lose 0.4

    Is Hazard really worth it? He likes to troll?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I got rid of pogs and lost 0.5. Im hoping he has a few drops before gw34

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Won't everyone be transferring him in for double gw32? Not sure he will drop again.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He’ll drop tonight. Could climb back up next week though.

          1. YEAH PITCH!
            • 5 Years

            Thanks. Good move them?

    Morning!! Up early FH experimenting!
    How does this look?

    Boruc
    TAA | Azpilicueta | Rice
    Salah | Mane | Hazard | Anderson
    Arnie | King | Wilson

    Speroni | Siggy | Pereira | Digne

    0ITB

    Thanks

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      No Vardy?

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

      No love for Leicester?
      I’d go King > Vardy and downgrade your bench to fund it.
      Rest looks good.

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

        That's actually exactly what I've just done now, changes in CAPS:

        Boruc
        TAA | Azpilicueta | Digne
        Salah | Mane | Hazard | Siggy
        VARDY | King | Arnie

        Speroni | BROOKS | OGBONNA | Pereira

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

      Maybe Anderson & King > Fraser & Vardy?
      Don't need a very strong bench tbh.

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Literally use bench fodder and this will upgrade your 11,

  5. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Noble in my FH squad this GW? On pens of they get today.

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

      Must be better picks

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Decent free hit player

    3. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much the opposite of a fantasy midfielder isn’t he? Even with pens. Plus West Ham’s genuinely attacking mids look toothless right now, so God knows what he’ll offer.

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      well, that´s all he has to offer, punting on West ham to get a pen in precisely this match is long shot. Westwood Burnley takes set pieces for Burnley and has 1G and 7A this season.

      Why Punch? Do Puncheon to Brooks

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

        I've been stuck with puncheon for weeks.. have 5.5 to spend for a hit

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool are hopeful Sadio Mane will be fit to face Fulham on Sunday after missing training.

    The Senegalese forward was the star of the show again in midweek as he scored twice against Bayern Munich.

    The brace took Mane's tally to six in his last four games as he continues to outshine talisman Mo Salah.

    But there are concerns ahead of Sunday's trip to the capital after Mane missed Friday's training session at Melwood.

    It is unclear if Mane has an injury problem with Jurgen Klopp likely to give him every chance of featuring against the struggling Cottagers.

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

      ^ From the Mirror. Sounds like they don't know anymore than us.

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

        That dosent sound great for the owners.
        Cant see Klopp risking his most in form offensive player to play League One standard defensive of Fulham.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          All a ploy.

          He’ll play him and take him off on 70-80.

          State minor injury due to end of Bayern clash. Will pull him out of Senegal’s walkover Africa Nation Cup Qualifiers.

    are we expecting more doubles in 32?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      3 or 4 more hopefully

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

      Yes

    3. Monsieur Cantona
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      potentially, for me i have too much value in my team not to fh atm. number of fixtures is only one variable to deciding whether subsequent gws which are yet tbc will materislise as we expect.

  9. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have:
    A) a 3-5-2 with Hazard, Mane Salah, F Anderson, Fraser, Vardy, one of Wilson/Arnie
    B) a 3-4-3 with Hazard, Mane, Salah, one of F anderson/Fraser, Vardy, Wilson, Arnie

    1. JT11fc

  15. barcaa7

    a-Puncheon to Fraser (-4)
    b-Jimenez to Wilson (-4)

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

      a better longterm as jimenez is just as good as wilson

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

    Boruc
    Pereira VVD Luiz
    Salah Maddison Richarlison Mane Anderson
    Higuain Rondon

    De Gea Jimenez Doherty Bednarek

    0.3.ITB & 0 FT.

    Which one please?
    A Keep above
    B Do Jimenez > Wilson for -4 & bench Richarlison incase one of Mane or Higgy don't feature

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B if you want Wilson for longer than 1 week

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In this particular week i would not take a -4 in case someone is a doubt, except from those who FH, not a soul will get a player from the bench if Mané don´t play. And if he plays you´ll be wasting 4 points.

  17. Mooster©️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    would you do -8 to get 11 players or free hit?

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

      -8 for sure.

    2. barcaa7
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      -8

    3. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If it was for both 31 and 33, yes. To get 4 points from a player over two gws is easy.

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        -8 it is!

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on -8 and believe it will be easily repayed by FH in DGW32

  19. thepirates

    Thoughts of King & Wilson doubleup?

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

      Risky given there’s several other options. I wouldn’t

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could work out fine, but kind of depends on your team elsewhere. Chelsea attacker and Leicester attacker also good options, so if you say have Haz and Maddison, or have Vardy alongside your BOU double up, then it could be a nice little diff.

  20. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is this still the way most people are using their chips:

    32 FH
    34 WC
    35 BB
    36 TC

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. sentz05
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why WC in 34 and not 33?

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        33 is a bgw. Pklanning for 31 includes planning for 33.

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

        you won't be able to buy City, United, Wolves etc in 33

    3. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Seems so. I am using tc this week though

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      loosely the plan yes, but TC is open for alterations. To me, Kun in 37 against on the beach Leicester looks like a decent TC option.

    5. wantanabe

      why free hit in gw32?

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

    1FT.

    A) Awb -> Rice (lose 0.3m in value and likely getting him back later).
    B) Other

    Boruc (Ethe)
    Robbo TAA Digne Awb* (Doherty*)
    Salah Hazard Fraser Anderson (Pogba*)
    Vardy Rondon (Jimenez*)

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

      Jimmy to Wilson

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

        Bought Jimmy for 5.8 so can sell with 6.3 and lose 0.5 if getting back for FH32 with CP 6.8. Still better option than Rice?

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you sell AWB you´ll just buy Tomkins if you want a Palace defender?

  22. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you captain here?

    Boruc
    Robertson, rice, yedlin
    Fraser, mane, Almirón, hazard
    Higuaín, firmino, vardy

    Bench, Etheridge, awb, bennett, pogba

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

      Bobby

  23. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Higuain hasn't been mentioned much, is he a genuine option?

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

      I have him, but when he’s not even touted in a bgw that pretty much says it all about him. At least 5 better options price and form wise.

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy, Wilson, Arnie and Firmino ahead of him in the pecking order for me

      He's also been "ill" during the week.

      And Everton's defence is actually half decent at home

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

        Could arguably add Rondón and Barnes to this list. Maybe even King.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He had a migraine

    4. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good question. He’s in my FH team but I’m now doubting myself. I’m considering changing him to Bobby given the Mane news

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

    Current team on -8

    Boruc
    TAA Rice Robbo Alonso
    Salah Anderson Hazard
    Wilson

    Guatia / Pogba / Son / Rash /

    A) another hit for Rash >> Arnie
    B) Roll with it and pray
    C) FH

  25. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Yedlin an option? Was he injured or sat 2GWs ago?

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    who to captain out of:
    A) Hazard
    B) Firmino

    My own dilemma I have to answe me on a Free Hit.

    1) Own Mane (if he doesn't play Fraser comes in)

    2) Own Firmino (I would have to lose one of Vardy, Arnie, Wilson)

    3) Double up on defence (out goes Daniels).

      3) of those...get VVD alongside Trent/Robertson

      I’m not sure what the answer is but I have a similar dilemma except i would have to lose Higuaín for Bobby. I would start Fraser regardless, Arnie to Bobby seems like an easy move and Daniels to VVD is a solid upgrade

    On a FH, should I get rid of mane to fund higuin since his a doubt. I want a solid 11. Or should I get in firminho. I already have vardy and Wilson.

    Morning folks, is it worth -8 to bring in Wilson and Haz for Aguero and Son?
