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

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

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

      would keep Vardy

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

        Would you play him over Jota this week?

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

          nope, Jota can do well vs 2 shaky defenses

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Keep

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years

        Thanks guys!

  2. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson, King, or Gray?

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

      Wilson for me.

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

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

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

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

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

      for one week, Wilson

      after that, I would look elsewhere

      1. Up the tics
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months 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
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

      For 2019/2020, that is.

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

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

    3. Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Can't be any worse than Bob Bradley at Swansea

  4. samaael
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Get rid of Lukaku for free?

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

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

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't get rid

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

        Great score without chips.

  7. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

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

  8. dee_top
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

    Who is the most nailed Arsenal defender?

    Monreal or Mustafi? Is Koscielny a possible rotation risk?

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

      Probably Monreal

      Kosc would be nailed but his injury is an issue

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

      Monreal over Kolasinac possible?

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

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

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

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

          Ramsey can also be worth a punt

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months 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
        4 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      1.

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

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

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

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

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

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

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

          Why no interest in City ??

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

            dont like their fixtures with possible rotation if UCL run continues

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

              Cool
              I'm keen on them actually 😮

            2. Whats the Huth
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              I agree with you. Avoid city

        2. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Flagged Red for me

    2. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not yet maybe

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

      Very red.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years

      F5 😉

  14. Camino Aleatorio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pick One for FT

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

  15. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

  16. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This might be trigger auto delete my team

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. St. Joseph
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months 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
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I Heard Valery trained yesterday?

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

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

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why get rid of Valery?

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

        Thought he was injured.

        Deeney to Llorente or Gray?

  18. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      Kane should be 11.5
      Salah 12.5

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

      Kane yes, Salah might drop to 12.5?

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah won't be in FPL 😉

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

      0.5 drop for both I guess

  19. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Help please

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

    B) Deeney, Vardy to Aguero Rondon -4

      *hold Vardy,

  20. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    1. Valery to Kiko

    2. Dunk to Cathcart
    ?

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

      2

  21. DirtySanchez
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

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

  22. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months 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
    4 years, 11 months 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
      4 years, 11 months ago

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

      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

    Is Camarasa > Fraser for free a no brainer?

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

    1. Amey

      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

    3. Lazaretti

      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?

    1. TorresMagic™

      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
