    Who is the most nailed defender for both DGW games combined from Man City and Man U? (will be getting the GK from the opoosite team) - Smalling perhaps?

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah or Lindelof / Shaw.

      Bare in mind Shaw is on 9 yellow cards, though.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        And Lindelof's missus is about to give birth I believe - is there any reason Smalling would be under threat?

    2. Scotty B
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte & Lindelof with the 2 goalies

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

      Noone is nailed. Maybe Smalling and Laporte/Walker.

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

      Chris Smalling
      Nailed + goal threat

    5. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling I think.

    6. Now I'm Panicking

      Cool - thanks all 🙂

  2. aleksios

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Last piece of FH puzzle is:

    a) Duffy-Deulofeu-Kane
    b) Azpi-Son-Rashford.

    Thanks a lot guys.

    1. Neetan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years

      I have B

    3. LC1
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B.

  3. ChuckN
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone help me spend my 1.4 ITB? FH team...

    Kepa
    Luiz Smalling Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Dilva Pogba
    Kun Rashford Zaha

    1. Scotty B
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Luiz > Duffy
      Zaha > Higuain

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

      Luiz to azpi?

      1. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Feel that's a bit sideways.

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

      I’d rather jimmy over Zaha

      1. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thats just giving me more $$ haha

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

      Find another 1.8m & upgrade Rash to Lukaku ??

  4. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Schlupp or AWB?

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

      Chasing or Playing safe ?

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        But of both lol

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schlupp IMO

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sch

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

    3-5-2 anyone? Having bench fodder like Crouch on the bench allows for a strong defense and a delicious midfield.

    Ederson
    Azpi - Schlupp - Smalling
    Haz - Raz - Pog - Eriksen - Deulofeu
    Kun - Rash

    AWB first on bench, for security.
    Could easily swap Smalling/Rash for Doherty/Jiminez etc.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much my draft atm, but I have Alli and Kante instead of Eriksen and Deu.

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

    Mane and vardy to jimenz and sterling sound good for a -4?

    I have Aguero already who I will TC

    Then next week I’ll do the reverse transfer as value prob doesn’t matter too much now

  7. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Look ok?

    Ederson
    Azpili Luiz Lindelöf
    Hazard Sterling Pogba Milivojevic
    Kun Jimenez Rashford

  8. Deus
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    2nd build, going 3-5-2

    Kepa
    Luiz, AWB, Doherty
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Dilva, Alli
    Aguero, Jimenez

    What do you think?

  9. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any FHers considering starting Hudson Odoi? Minimum he should get 2 or 3 points and then allows a lot of investment everywhere else.
    I could have

    Kepa
    AWB Laporte Lindelof
    Hazard Pogba Sterling CHO
    Rashford Kane Aguero

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well I guess you as a Chelsea fan know what you could expect from him if you get him in

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

      Not for me. This week could be big and knowing a player will likely get 2-4 points puts me off

  10. Big Mac 24
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is nobody considering Kane fir DGW?

    Ha netted in 7 of last 9 prem games, can score against anybody, Liverpool are no longer watertight, even at home, and he plays Palace who he gets easily get a 13 or Brace against.

    Downside is spurs’ form

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Would love to have him, but means too many compromises elsewhere for me.

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

      Yes as he will have a part to play if spurs score goals

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

      Low TV mean NO for me

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Quite many are considering him I guess

    5. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can get a starting free hit DGW 11 of

      Patricio
      AWB Luiz Holebas
      Sterling Pogba Moutinho Hazard
      Aguero C Jiménez Kane

      Speroni Peltier Simpson Stephens

    6. simong1
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think it's worth having Kane in the below team or does he take too much away from the defence/last mid spot?

      Ederson
      Lindelof - AWB - Doherty (3.8, 3.8)
      Sterling - Pogba - Hazard - Kante (4.2)
      Aguero - Kane - Jimenez

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It's a pickle, another option I see is a 4.5 striker and swapping Kane and Moutinho for Son & D Silva. I'm just not convinced right now that Son will score if Spurs do, whereas Kane definitely will.

  11. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pick the faults if there are any in my FH team please? Would like to keep Kane as I feel like he'll be in the points in both games.

    Ryan
    Luiz - Schlup - Laporte - Lindelof
    Sterling - Haz - Pogba
    Kane - Aguero - Batshuayi

    (3.9) - 3.8 - 4.2 - 4.3

  12. anish10
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    RMT. Need a few differentials

    Kepa
    AWB Montoya Lindelof
    Sterling Hazard Dilva Pogba
    Deeney Aguero Lukaku

    Bench fodders

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

      I like it - might go with the same front three myself.

  13. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Boly + Lindelof
    B) Jonny + Smalling

  14. Tronity
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Finally set on the first draft of my activated FH chip

    Ederson
    Luiz, Lindelof, AWB
    Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Milivojevic
    Aguero, Lukaku, Jimenez

    Abolsute fodder of a bench!Anything glaring that needs addressing?

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Template, but happy with it:

    Kepa
    AWB - Luiz - Laporte
    Mili - Pogba - Hazard - Sterling
    Zaha - Rashford - Aguero(c)

    Morning,

    Thoughts on FH team please.

    Kepa
    Holabas awb doh
    Pog haz sterling bilva
    Jimi kun hig

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

      Holebas, doherty & higuain stand out as weaknesses.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I am aware of weak def, but thinking of taking gamble and going heavy front.

        Think hig is weak? Good fixtures although I have thought about swapping him for rash. Thanks for input

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

      Who else would you consider for Hig, Doh, and Silva?

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Rash for hig is a thought which would then leave door open for more to strengthen doh.

        As for bilva, I feel like he is key, pep loves him and think he is likely to start both were as others have the chance of rotation including kun and sterling

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

          Hig ~> Lukaku/Jim/Zaha. Rashford is on a dry spell. Bernardo will get game time, but that's probably it.

          1. n14mul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks for feedback. Plenty of time to ponder.

            On another thought Aguero and sterling couldn't injured during internationals and that will Punta right spanner in everyone's plans!!!

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

              IIRC, Aguero isn't traveling for Argentina.

              1. n14mul
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                May get injured partying in LA

  17. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    With all this good DGW options and 11 dgw players in FH teams...

    Would a score of less than 100 be a failure to you?

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      YES

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes...have 11 DGW players and using TC

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I scored nineteen with my triple captain activated last week. I don't care any more.

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        that sucks 🙁

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

          Had a full eleven playing too. Got to laugh.

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      For sure

  18. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm seeing lots of love for Son but little for Alli I'm genuinely curi8as to why. Alli is more nailed on and got an assist in his return game why Son seems off the boil now. Is it just Sons explosiveness?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That and he also plays further up the pitch?

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just worried he'll always be first to get subbed and competes with moura and lamela for starts

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think someone of Son's stature is ever competing with either of those two for starts, but I get what you mean in terms of managing his minutes for CL etc.

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'm getting Son on WC34, and take a one GW punt on Alli now

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe cause he, s cheaper I guess

  19. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Higuain (given their fixtures/DGW), Laca (given their fixtures for rest of season) or Rashford (DGW).

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford, then Laca

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

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Luiz + Alli + Rashford

    B) Lindelof + Deulofeu + Kane

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b

    3. Pdrpro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Deciding vote anyone?

  21. Fantasy Premington
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on FH team?

    Ederson
    Luiz Lindelof Duffy Tomkins
    Pogba Sterling Hazard
    Aguero Kane Jimmy

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I like it...can't get Schlupp I imagine?

      1. Fantasy Premington
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah just can't fit him in unfortunately but would love to have him

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

      Great

  22. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This is veryhard!
    A)Ederson+Lindelof+Jimenez/Batshuayi
    B)Kepa+Laporte+Deeney

  23. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How does this FH look? 0.8m ITB.

    Kepa
    David Luiz Lindelof Doherty
    Sterling Hazard Pogba D.Silva
    Kun Rashford Jimenez

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Schlupp to Doherty

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        same here. I'm even playing AWB over Doherty (on bench, have Patricio in goal)

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

        This

  24. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Winning the FA Cup SF is worth at least £3.6m (losing the SF gets you £0.9m). That is more than an extra PL place. With the added glory of being in the final too you can see Wolves, Watford and Brighton resting players in the DGW in advance of the SFs.

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      For sure.
      Im not getting Jimenez or Jota in DGW32

      FH team XI would only involve players from Chelsea Utd City and Palace. With the exception of Kane, maybe.

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      sounds logical. But doesn't 7th spot get you a European spot (assuming City win the FA cup)?
      Both Watford and Wolves competing for that spot then as well

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Do they want a EL spot? Wolves may do, but I doubt Watford do.

  25. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why are Laporte's points projection so low in RMT?
    He's not injured anymore.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      RMT not updated for the fact he is back from injury

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

    Not sure why people are ignoring Bilva:

    1) Pep absolutely rates him so highly and is nailed into his best X1

    2) He scored a goal and an assist in his last 2 starts in all competitions - Swansea (FA cup) and Schalke 04 (CL)

    3) Fulham and Cardiff fixtures do not get any better on paper

    4) I cannot see defenders or Ederson getting BAPS in these fixtures.. the bonus will be dominated by the attackers and just one assist for Bilva could easily match the clean sheet for the back 5

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I agree but on his last 5 PL starts he has got 2,3,3,3,2 not the best FPL asset imo?

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Saw this too. Good player, but more the pre assister

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      i'm torn between bilva and dilva mate

      feel like dilva is bound to come good soon, he's had a bit of a quiet season by his standards

      any thoughts?

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        same here...for some reason I still feel D.Silva has the higher ceiling, though they now have equal amount of points.
        Bernardo will play some International matches though

    3. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm with you and as mentioned bilva is a must

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1 empty slot as everyone has sterling + kun
      A defender/gk or dilva/bilva

  27. CarolAnn
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Does anybody know anything about Bournemouth and their defence? Is Charlie Daniels nailed on?

  28. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    To Kane or not to Kane guys?

    1) to Kane
    Ryan
    Luiz laporte awb schlupp
    Sterling pogba hazard
    Kane Kun Jimenez

    2) not to Kane
    Kepa
    Luiz laporte schlupp
    Sterling pogba hazard son
    Kun Zaha rashford

    1. azz007
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Defo with Kane, hes going to be the main diffrential in the doubles.. will score x3 combined at least

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

      2

    3. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you mean;

      A) Ryan, AWB, Jiminez, Kane
      B) Kepa Son, Zaha, Rashford

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

        Basically yes, but can also have kepa, mili/jota, Higuain, rash/zaha

  29. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Activated WC, thinking I should've probably done FH. Any chance devs will allow me to swap the chip that's been used (wouldn't affect pricing in my team etc because both effectively work the same for this week).

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

      Hahaha. Absolutely no chance.

  30. #FPLBhuna

    whilst the sheep go 2xi mci attackers, 1xi mci defence

    i'm probably going to go for 3 mci attackers

    what do we think about the dilva/bilva debate

    I feel bilva will be selected by more due to his price and pep's love for him, but dilva is due is he not? he's had a quiet season by his standards, and, he also played the full 2x90 mins in dgw25

      I prefer Dilva, love Bilva but not sure about him as FPL asset still

      What would your midfield look like with either Silva?

        well this is it currently with dilva (so basically i've an extra 1m itb to upgrade elsewhere if I go bilva)

        ddg
        luiz - lindelof - schlupp
        sterling - hazard - dilva - pogba
        aguero - higuain - zaha

        If I go bilva, I guess I could upgrade schlupp, or zaha to a rashford for e.g.

          ah,i have gone 4-3-3 to get kane, think he could outperform the city mids,ofcourse there's a huge price gap, but if i had to get one, i'd get Bilva, been really attacking, Pep seems to prefer him over sane mahrez.

          & probably double united defence ain't getting any CS imo

      Everyone who is a top player and hasn't scored points for a while is 'due'.

      Sane is due. KDB is due. Alli is due. Son is due. I could go on.....

      All you can do is try to choose good players who you think will start and then keep your fingers crossed.

      Makes absolute sense to me. I think I've made up my mind to play. Kun, Sterling and Jesus barring injuries.

      I prefer Dilva - he's played a lot of PL minutes lately and no internationals unlike Bilva/Sane.

      What was DDG ever a good option this season?

      Also thinking along the same lines. I'm chasing too, so if the Man City attackers haul big plus bonus points, I could definitely make some good gains.

      Also thinking Dilva along with Sterling & Aguero. Bilva just seems to be ticking along in the Premier League in terms of fantasy returns...
