    Just watched the Juve-Ajax game
    For Arsenal fans looking for an Aaron Ramsey replacenent, look no further than Donny Van de Beek. The man is incredibly underrated by non-Ajax fans, who put more emphasis on the generational talents of DeLigt and DeJong, but f*** me is VDB perfect for Arsenal. The Dutch Frank Lampard. Going to cost a pretty penny, but going to be worth it.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I really like him too. Such a fighter. Massively underrated due to De Jong and De Ligt

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think he s going to Tottenham to replace Eriksen

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Would be a good replacement, definitely!

    3. FFSbet.com

      I enjoy watching Ajax play,fearless and create a lot of chances.

      Hope they will stop making profit soon and keep their players to compete with big teams in CL.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, hope they can keep their gems, but it looks increasingly likely that this is the last season that these group of players will be together.

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Their 95' team was insane

        4 years, 11 months ago

        It is the fact that the Ducth league is poor so you cant blame these top notch players or the club, its just good business for both parties! Shame though, I agree, lovely team to watch!

    4. shadeslayer
      • 8 Years

      Ziyech is also good.. It's the best place to be as a young footballer

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        For talent development, Ajax is unmatched, agreed!

  2. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool can have 7 dream players if TAA and Firmino bang points in next few gws. Incredible.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      VVD, Robbo, TAa, Firmino, Salah, Mane and who? Allison?

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yes

  3. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    (RP - bottomed)

    Thinking about going Laca (155 points total) over Firmino (158 points total) One game more in hand. But Pool slightly better fixtures.

    Pool: car, HUD, new, WOL
    Arsenal: CRY, wol, lei, BRI, bur

    Both could get minutes managed due to EL/CL. Was on Firmino before, but im now in doubt

    Thoughts?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino will start all games definitely. Laca wont.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This. I think Firmyusbthe better pick

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Argh...Firmino

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't go near Arsenal assets remaining fixtures

  4. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A. Deulofeu
    B.DoucOure

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A if fit

  5. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you do Deeney > Success,if it means getting Mane + Firmino(-4) next GW?

    BB this GW hope he gets some minutes.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't bank on succes starting.. Gray Better option. But both could Play one game each. Deulofeu is the real treat from Watford rn if fit

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah,problem with Gray is i will need to play him every week if i get him.
        Will get Success as fodder anyway next GW to make room for Salah...

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Success is waist of transfer imo. Try Ings

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        You think he will last 5 GWs in a row ?:)

        Must play him till end if i get him.

    3. shadeslayer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Go for long.. He costs 4.6. Will play more than success

  6. 420king
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Duffy -> Bednarek
    Deeney -> Wilson
    for -4

    Worth it? Playing BB.

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It worth, but not for BB, imo

  7. theodosios
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pick one until the end of season:

    A) Redmond (ML rival has him)
    B) JWP
    C) Doucoure
    D) Hughes

    Know that Deulofeu is better than all 4, but I'm in fear that he will miss some games and has reduced minutes due to FA final.

    1. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      prefer someone like fraser

      1. theodosios
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Already have Wilson

        1. Men in green tights
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          that case then what about jota

    2. shadeslayer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      In the above price bracket, why not go for brroks. Bournemouth have tasty fixtures

  8. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best Option:

    1. BB = Foster Duffy Dunk Romeu (could use 1FT to improve)
    2. TC = Jimenez or Kun

    Thanks.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on the BB and TC combo in future GWs.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        other option is doing them GW36

        then it will likely be Mane TC v Hudds... with a BB the same with fixtures of WOL NEW NEW BOU...

        thoughts?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Do you think Brighton gets a CS vs Newcastle? If not then GW35 BB wins as Foster scores more and even Romeu should.

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            yep agreed, too much hanging on the NEW game if I was to play BB36

            thanks

  9. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Murray+Duffy to Ings+TAA for a hit is like a no brainer right?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Given TAA plays tonight and Ings isn't match fit, no.

      1. aleksios
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What would be the best changes for those two? Maybe Gray+Matip?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          You'll know on Friday after pressers. Could be the pair you picked. Gray and Matip are risks too.

          1. aleksios
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Cheers.

  10. MrZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    My original plan was to BB gw35.
    Then valery & schlupp injured & Brighton boys whipped.
    Is it wise to BB now?
    Still have TC & BB left.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      what would your bench be?

      assume Valery will be passed fit

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery trained yesterday.
      Unless you lose the Brighton boys, you're stuck with them.
      Valery loses value outside the DGW too.

  11. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you play Fabianski (LEI) or get in Leno/Foster for a -4? Leno/Foster have to score more than 7 I think to make it worth it.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      go for it, with Foster

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hmm, only see a hud clean in the next 4.

  12. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    is Vardy (whu) > Firmino (car) worth a hit??

  13. Nigawan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A little help here guys 🙂

    1. Who is the best captain option this GW. I'm on BB.
    a) Aguero/ Sterling/ Son/ Erikson/ Jiminez/ Gray

    2. Pick one...
    a) Robertson - Mane - Gray
    b) Kola - Erikson - Laca

  14. pol
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    --repost--

    A- Dunk > TAA
    B- Dunk + vardy > TAA + laca (-4)
    C- Dunk + vardy > TAA + firmino (-4)

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C

  15. ZAWAd25
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Top of my league, runner up is only 26 points away.

    How do I fix this team for a BB?
    1FT , 0.3itb
    Lloris Foster
    Laporte Duffy Dunk Valery Bennet
    Son Eriksen Mané KDB JWP
    Kun Deeney* Jimenez

    Willing to take a hit or two if needed. Cheers!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney and Dunk at least out. Bennett might get his spot back and hard to make points there for a hit.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Could keep Dunk and lose Bennett instead.

        1. ZAWAd25
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          For who?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Depends on which striker you get. May as well wait to see if you get another injury that gives you cash.

  16. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    who do you guys like better for this upcoming DGW and the rest of the season -

    A) Jota
    B) Doucouré
    C) Fraser

    1. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      @torresmagic you are usually up and commenting at same time as me, what do you think??

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I own Jota if that helps.

  17. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hello fellow DZers

    I didn't realize the game was played yesterday. Just only noticed that all the BHA players blanked.

    Amazing.

    How's my bb looking?

    Lloris, Foster
    TAA, Duffy, Dunk, Doherty, Valery
    Son, Mane, KDB, Eriksen, Deulofeu
    Aguero, Vardy, Jim

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Too much Brighton and Deulofeu needs monitoring.

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I have 1 FT and 0.5m itb.

        Any suggestions?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Brighton don't score so pick defenders who play them.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            and attackers obviously.

  18. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Foster, Lloris
    Duffy, Dunk, Valery, TAA, Jonny
    Knorkaert, Son, Eriksen, Mane, Camarasa
    Vardy, Kun, Jimmy
    4.1 it's, 1.FT

    BB or TC this week?

    I'll probably need -8 to BB
    Knorkaert, Vardy, Camarasa to Sterling, Gray and Redmond

    -4.to get Sterling and Wilson if TC

    1. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone? TM around?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It's quite a mess. Decent -8 if Vardy fails as the other 2 should.

        1. Live Lad
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Should I BB this week or
          BB in 36 not bad with Foster, Camarasa, Dunk, Valery?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Lots more games in 35 so should score more.

            1. Live Lad
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Thanks. Gray sounds good? Sterling too but last transfer in -8.
              Camarasa to Redmond or upgrade Dunk to Cathcart, doubling up with Foster?

  19. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best piece of advice I have for tonight, just relax with transfers, CL games are likely to twist everything. Kane and Deeney recently are examples.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Especially the results.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      thanks, needed this!

  20. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Reasonable to BB?

    Foster Lloris
    Robbo Laporte Jonny Duffy Valery
    Salah Eriksen Son Siggy JWP
    Aguero Jimenez Gray

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would change Duffy and Sigurdsson if possible. Otherwise, its good enough for BB

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks but I want a bit of a differential

    2. Nerazzuro
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think so

  21. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    F*** me, I'm actually considering a -4 for Dunk+Montoya->Jonny+Cathcart.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wolves dont keep clean sheets, so probably not going to provide anything more than BHA lads

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        True, but feel like one of Montoya/Dunk has to go.
        Probably will just wait on CL games/pressers before plunging. my Defence is look BS rn haha

  22. Nerazzuro
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Duffy + Deeney -> Koscielny + Ings for -4 will give me a bench of Foster - Bednarek - Dunk - Deulofeu

    Worth it for BB? Or would you just do Deeney -> Ings and save the -4?

  23. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Duffy out for a hit? But not sure for who...

    1. Nerazzuro
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on your defenders. Maybe Kolasinac or Boly (if you have Doherty)

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Kola might not play both. Cathcart is a really good shout imo

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Cathcart is the best defender for the double imo

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        (C) like duffs ha

  24. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Would you be looking to keep Lacazette this week?

    Presuming he starts tomorrow too

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah

  25. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    No ty, consulting others is what got me into this mess...

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years

      this)

  26. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Will I need to get rid of Lucas Moura in GW36? I guess Ali will be back and hence he might lose his spot?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If so, if I saved this week, I could do this for a -4:

      Trippier + Lucas + Vardy > Schlupp + Salah + Quaner

      N.B. Planning to BB this week and TC next!

  27. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any changes here lads? Not so keen on Kola and should i do Tiele to Jota for a hit? then change formation leaving Vardy on the bench?
    Pat
    Kola TAA Robbo
    Sterling Mane Son Eriksen
    Wilson Vardy Jimi

    Guaita Dunk Duffy Tiele

    1. shadeslayer
      • 8 Years

      Are u activating Bb?

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Don't think its worth it with the bench that i have. Was planning on BBGW37

      Thinking of bb

      1. De Gea is GOAT

        Decent for BB. Would probably take out one BRI player.

    Any changes needed? Should I save and activate BB instead?

    Ryan Lloris
    Robbo Laporte Doherty Duffy Valery
    Mane Eriksen Son Steling Deulo
    Aguero Jimenez Vardy

    A) Deeney > Gray/Ings
    B) Deeney, Doherrty > Long, VVD (-4)
    C) Deeney, Duffy > Wilson, Cathcart (-4)
    D) Deeney, Laca, Jota > Long, Wilson, Mane (-8)
