  1. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Worth keeping faith in Vardy or take a hit to bring in Jota?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      would keep Vardy

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Would you play him over Jota this week?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          nope, Jota can do well vs 2 shaky defenses

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Keep

      1. De Gea is GOAT

        Thanks guys!

  2. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Wilson, King, or Gray?

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson for me.

      1. Canary_Kid
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Winning ML by 70 points and opponent has King - still Wilson?

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          In that case King but i still think Wilson will outscore him

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      for one week, Wilson

      after that, I would look elsewhere

      1. Up the tics
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Why one week? Has 3 decent fixtures left. Can be benched for spurs game. Also who else would you be looking at?

  3. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    The American and Former New York Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch has been confirmed as the new manager of Red Bull Salzburg.

    Always interested to see American Coaches in Europe. Hope he does well.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      For 2019/2020, that is.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Decent coach. He used experience and young blood in same team pretty well.

    3. Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Can't be any worse than Bob Bradley at Swansea

  4. samaael
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Get rid of Lukaku for free?

    1. theodosios
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Only for Firmino if you have another Lpool spot,otherwise no

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I wouldn't get rid

  5. Locolo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Vardy to Firmino or Rashford or keep?

      Not using my chips till after the doubles. Don’t like the look of the doubles apart from Wolves and the SGW players - who I have in my team.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years

        Great score without chips.

  7. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Guys, who is the best semi-differential capo if I'm trying to close a gap in my mini league:
    A) Jimenez
    B) Jota
    C) Son
    D) Aguero
    E) Gray
    F) KDB

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      C

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      A

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      A maybe best differential C or D depends today's CL result

  8. dee_top
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Dunk and Vardy to Boly and Firmino for a hit, guys?

    1. Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

  9. Nerazzuro
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Who is the most nailed Arsenal defender?

    Monreal or Mustafi? Is Koscielny a possible rotation risk?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Probably Monreal

      Kosc would be nailed but his injury is an issue

  10. Starvaiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    I'm playing FH, how does this look?

    Foster (Hamer)
    Kola / Laporte / Boly (Bednarek / 3.8)
    Stirling / Jota / Son / Pogba (Hudson-Odoi)
    Aguero / Jimenez / Auba

    What would you change? I particularly don't like Pogba, thinking Moura. (only have 8.8 for that position)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Monreal over Kolasinac possible?

      1. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I could go Kola -> Monreal then Pogba -> Moura?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          That will be better I guess (depending on CL involvement)

          Ramsey can also be worth a punt

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I would go Liverpool attacker over Auba, as i don't think he will start both. Hard week to freehit because of Liverpools good single fixture. Looks like a good team.

      1. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        thanks. I'll see what i can move around.

  11. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    BB team. 2.1m for upgrades.

    Thinking either-
    1. Duffy->Robbo (Exact cash atm). Safe option.

    2. Vardy-> Aubameyang. (Vardy has a nice fixture himself but fancying Auba to pick things up a lot and would C). Taking a chance with this one.

    Lloris, Foster.
    Kola, TAA, Dunk, Duffy, Bednarek.
    Mane, Eriksen, Son, Jota, JWP.
    Vardy, Aguero, Jimenez.
    1ft, 2.1m.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      1.

  12. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    To WC or not to WC is the question

    RYAN
    DUFFY, DOHERTY, Van Dijk
    POGBA, REDMOND, Salah, Mane, Fraser
    JIMENEZ, Rondon

    If I WC, players I'll be getting rid are: Ryan, Duffy, Doherty, Pogba, Fraser, Rondon

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I dont think its worth it tbh, have you an alternative plan to use it?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Yep, WC next week to set up for GW36-38 where some of the teams have decent fixtures and likely to be low owned, Palace players for example.

        Only issue is I would miss on Spurs players in this round whereas on WC, I'll triple up. Otherwise no major changes really...

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          hmmm, would be tempted to hold off one more week so...it just might give you a better edge!

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      There is just 4 GW's left so I would WC. Imo there wont be any better time...

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Thats true but I wont be making many major changes as I have triple Liverpool already in place, no interest in Man City etc etc...

        I guess if Spurs win in CL, then no WC and if knocked out, then WC time

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

          Why no interest in City ??

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            dont like their fixtures with possible rotation if UCL run continues

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

              Cool
              I'm keen on them actually 😮

            2. Whats the Huth
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              I agree with you. Avoid city

        2. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          If you have better option then use it then. There has been some WC users who made major changes recently and they might not be too happy atm.

  13. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Why is Deeney not flagged?

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Flagged Red for me

    2. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Not yet maybe

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Very red.

    4. Amey

      F5 😉

  14. Camino Aleatorio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Pick One for FT

    (A) keep Lacazette
    (B) Aubameyang
    (C) Gray (Watford)
    (D) firmino (already have 2 Liverpool)

  15. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Guys, BB team:

    Foster Ryan
    TAA Laporte Doherty Duffy Valery
    Mane Eriksen Son Doucoure Redmond
    Aguero Vardy Jiminez

    1FT

    A) Vardy > Firminio
    B) Duffy > someone with better DGW
    C) Both for a hit
    D) Save FT

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      No need for the hit, Vardy has two good fixtues upcoming imo, B or D for me

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        car HUD are screaming triple up needed. How else to get another Liverpool asset with points potential?

  16. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Scenes when i took out Duffy,
    And then he get a rare CS in the 1st match and a luck deflected goal to spurs.

    1. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      This might be trigger auto delete my team

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Haha, yeah, shows what a fail that double was when I've taken him out for Bednarek 😉

        1. St. Joseph
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          This might be my worst wildcard since I started playing FPL 4 yrs ago

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      That's why I think I will just keep him. They need to practice set pieces as Brighton need to score and they can't with those attackers... Only option is corners and set pieces.

  17. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Still looking to BB this gameweek.

    A) Deeney -> Gray
    B) Deeney and Valery -> Llorente and Boly

    Lloris Foster
    Dunk Duffy Robertson Bednarek Valery
    Sterling Mane Son Eriksen JWP
    Aguero Jiminez Deeney

    1. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I Heard Valery trained yesterday?

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        In that case would you do Deeney -> Llorente or Gray?

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Why get rid of Valery?

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Thought he was injured.

        Deeney to Llorente or Gray?

  18. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Do you reckon that Salah and Kane will be as expensive next season?

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

      Kane should be 11.5
      Salah 12.5

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Kane yes, Salah might drop to 12.5?

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Salah won't be in FPL 😉

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      0.5 drop for both I guess

  19. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Help please

    A)Deeney, Vardy, Duffy to Wilson, Aguero and Cathcart -8

    B) Deeney, Vardy to Aguero Rondon -4

    C) Deeney to Wilson and gold Vardy.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      *hold Vardy,

  20. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    1. Valery to Kiko
    Or
    2. Dunk to Cathcart
    ?

    1. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      2

  21. DirtySanchez
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Ive made a proper schoolboy error - brought in Deeney before his game IOT afford Moura before a price rise...

    Now im stuck with a red Deeney and a plan to BB.

    Is it worth a -4 (-8 really!) to get him out?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      depends who you can afford, wont take hits for someone like Ings/Gray/Llorente

  22. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Deeney to wilson for the rest of the season, will bench vs spurs

    Or anyone else for 6.6m or less. Cant be llorente have 3 spurs players

  23. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Morning guys,
    My team is:

    Lloris Foster
    Robbo Taa Duffy Doherty Valery
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota Deulofeu
    Aguero Jimenez Firmino

    1FT, 0 itb

    Plan was to save FT
    Is it fine to do that ??
    I think Deulofeu & Valery will be fine.

    Is it worth to get Hazard ?? Would need a hit.
    Something like Eriksen + Bobby >> Hazard + Llorente

    Anything else would you suggest ??

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      eriksen ,bobby can be good...no need to take a hit

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

        Thank you 🙂

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      OK to save.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years

    Real dilemma - do I bench Boost with all the Brighton players? Or take hits to replace them? I have already done Deeney to Jiminez. Tempted to save BB now. Thoughts?

    Foster
    TAA Doherty Laporte
    Son Eriksen Sterling Jota
    Aguero Rashford Jiminez

    Lloris Duffy Dunk Knockaert

      That bench is awful mate, sorry if that's harsh 🙂

      I'd save BB

      Hits would only impact the effectiveness of your BB so I wouldn't imo.

    7.6mil to replace Camarasa

    (1) B.Silva
    (2) Martial
    (3) Fraser
    (4) Mkhitaryan

    Is Camarasa > Fraser for free a no brainer?

    Of who else would you look at? 6.6ITB to spend.

      Jota/Deulofeu (if fit) would be my picks personally before Fraser.

        Hi Amey - already have Jimi & Doherty for Wolves cover and isn't Deulofeu flagged with an ankle injury?

          just realised you put if fit after his name.

          I'd avoid jota then

      Yes looks strong, also considering the same.

      Ward-Prowse, Doucoure, Jota are other options

        Already have JWP too lol

      Redmond, Jota, Deulofeu all good options.

      One for Thursday night.

    Fraser or Jota (-4) this week?

    BB Team:

    Lloris Foster
    TAA Doherty DUFFY Dunk Valery
    Mane Sterling Son Eriksen Jota
    Aguero Jiminez DEENEY

    Have exact funds to do Duffy and Deeney to Yoshida and Wilson for a 4 point hit. Should I do it?

      If Deeney is a 0, hard to lose unless Duffy surprises.

        That’s what I was thinking. I’d like to wait to see if an appeal happens and the result but think I’ll be priced out by the time that happens.

    A) Keep Vardy
    B) Vardy -> Wilson (-4)
    C) Vardy -> Lacazette (-4)

    ?

      Laca is tempting despite his benching last week, but honesty I'd just keep Vardy
