Half of FPL top 10k have exhausted chip supply

Nearly half of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Double Gameweek 35 have now exhausted their chip supply for the season.

47.9% of those at that level have used all of the chips and will have to rely only on their transfers for Gameweeks 36, 37 and 38.

47.0% have just one left in their locker, with the Triple Captain currently the least used of the four.

That has been used by 59.48% of the top 10k managers, suggesting that there is a real opportunity either to make ground in that bracket or break into it with an effective deployment of the Triple Captain.

Not surprisingly, the Bench Boost was deployed extensively at that level of the game for this round of fixtures.

The number of top 10k managers who had used it after the Double Gameweek 35 deadline rose from just 18.61% to 86.12%.

That means a huge 67.51% of them are enjoying points for all 15 players over the next few days.

The most popular cheaper options likely to have been included in Bench Boost scores are Shane Duffy (£4.8m), Mat Ryan (£4.4m), Yan Valery (£4.1m) owned by 44.88%, 39.68% and 39.05% of the top 10k respectively.

There was a small portion of upper echelon who considered the Triple Captain chip.

7.87% of them went for an enhanced skipper for Double Gameweek 35, with Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), Sergio Aguero (£11.8m), Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) and Son Heung-min (£8.8m) the only four options considered for it.

Manchester City’s midfield star Sterling was the most popular from that quartet for the Triple Captain among the top 10k and has it all to do at Old Trafford after scoring just one point against Spurs.

Those options were also the key players in the normal captaincy debate too, which was exceptionally tight at the top level just as it was for everybody else.

Sterling was handed the armband by 28.14% of managers in the top 10k, more than any other player.

Aguero was second placed with 24.57% and Jiménez third on 22.08%.

Given that last weekend was the most popular for the Wildcard chip, it should be no surprise that there was little change in the top 10k most owned players between Gameweek 34 and 35.

The only major difference between the two models is up front. Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) was the third most popular forward among the top 10k for Double Gameweek 34, behind Aguero and Jiménez, but that honour now falls to Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m).

The Arsenal man is in 22% of top 10k squads for Double Gameweek 35, with fixtures against Crystal Palace (home) and Wolves (away) coming up.

Those who had Wildcarded in Double Gameweek 34 also had to make a change, following Troy Deeney‘s (£5.9m) sending off on Monday night.

Despite conceding seven goals in Double Gameweek 34, Duffy remains among the most owned defenders, although has lost a fair amount of his backing among the top 10k.

No defender was in more squads than him last time around, with 71.6% effective ownership in the top 10k, but that dropped to just 51.86% for Double Gameweek 35, which of course will be influenced by considerably fewer captain’s armbands.

    For those bringing in Liverpool assets I wouldn't stray away from Alisson/VVD/Mane/Salah. Keita being the wildcard.

    I think Trent is most likely to have reduced minutes to bring Gomez back into the fold for Barca also the experience Milner has could impact him. Think the full backs are more likely to be subbed when games are won than Salah/Mane as they cover so much ground and are vital to how we play.

    Klopp will be looking to protect Trent, Roberston, Fabinho more than the front 3 imo.

      trent and robbo minutes will be fine. trent best value player in whole game imo

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

        Trent could be worth the risk.

        Wouldn't be surprised to see one of them come off tomorrow after 60/70, Gomez in for Trent for Huddersfield and Milner in for Robertson at Newcastle.

        I've got Robertson/Salah/Mane and will be holding them.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years

          if cs is banked im perfectly happy

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

      Firmino had a rest the other night, and whilst I can't see Salah/Mane starting on the bench against Huddersfield, I can definitely see either/both being brought off early if Liverpool are 2 or 3 up. Especially with Origi and Shaqiri on the bench, plus Klopp's now talking about the Ox being back and ready.

    3. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Surely Gomez gets most of his time at centre back, nodody wants Matip or Lovren in their first 11.

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

    Are u doing Eriksen to Mane next week?

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

      potentially, or pogba. and potentially to salah

  3. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    That KDB injury has scuppered my plans. Was all set on Vardy to Firmino FT. But not sure now.

    Ryan
    Robbo Doherty Valery
    Mane Pogba Son KDB
    Vardy Aguero Jiminez

    Foster Brooks Duffy Luiz

    1m ITB.

    Considering KDB & Pogba to Salah & Deulofou? TC Salah 36? And leave Vardy in, sound good?

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

      Pogba could be a very nice asset to have 37/38. If you prefer Vardy to him, fair enough, but consider the upcoming fixtures for pog.

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Would KDB & Vardy to Salah and Mitrovic work?

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

          That's the problem, is budget strikers... Slim pickings. I went Llorente for a laugh, hoping he gets some game time with Kane out and champions league schedule.

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

    Is Bilva option for the rest of the season ?

    Have Aguero and dont have funds for Sterling

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

      Yes definitely. But he may still see bench. Maybe prefer Moura

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

        Have Eriksen and Son already

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years

          Ah

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      top player but not been a great fpl asset so far. i have sterling/laporte/ederson

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

        Yeah i know but he would be on 2 week punt anyway after next GW

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

          that doesnt change anything

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

    KDB > Salah a no brainer? He's got no chance of being back for next gameweek, correct?

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

      just wait

    Success in FPL is down to pure luck.

      This. Same as everything I’m rubbish at

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

      Luck evens out for all players. How about those who consistently finish top 10k. Even top 5k?

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

        I know, I took the bait 🙂

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      99% luck now unfortunately

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years

        Unless you’re good

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      and failure is down to bad management.

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

      Top 50K is skill. Position within that is luck.

    6. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You can easily be good and finish with a bad rank over a season, you're much less likely to be bad and finish with a good rank. But yes there are huge amounts of luck involved, however it's about risk management and how you react to bad luck. We're all just playing the odds; we can't do more than picking the best odds and hoping.

      Then again it helps if a bit of effort is put in too ... a very disappointing show from your work colleagues Virg... seven transfers between them all season!

    What would you do here lads to afford second Liverpool MiD/ATT

    Lloris
    VVD-Laporte-Dunk
    Doucure-Salah(TC)-Son-Eriksen
    Ings-Aguero-Jimenez

    Foster-Martial-Doherty-Bednarek

    1 FT and 0.5 ITB

    0.1 short of Eriksen>>>Mane

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

      You ended up playing BB?

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

        Yes mate and dont know what to say 44(-8). Not great.

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

          Wow mine went great 60.

          You sold Brighton players for a hit?

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

            Thats great.

            I sold just one Bri defender for Laporte...

            My biggest regret is that i went dor Docoure over Deulo cause he was flagged

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

              Understandable.. I already had him so took the chance given he was training before the matcj

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

        I would prolly sacrifice Foster.. go with lloris as set and forget.

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

          Not Martial?

          Thinking to do

          Eriksen and Martial to Mane and Jota

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

            Well thats a possibility too.. Wolves got two decent fixtures but face pool in 38.

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

              I know. Wolves have Fulham in GW 37...

              And already have plan to ditch Jimenez for Rashford in GW 38

          2. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years

            As the biggest Utd fan ever I would say definitely don’t get rid of Marshy!

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

              Why not? He was so poor lately and he is rotation risk

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

                At Utd everyone is a rotation risk. We are a proud club with lots of wonderful options. But he run real fast

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

                    ?

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

                      Lots of wonderful options. Yeah right. Rashford,Lukau,Martial,Alexis, Mata...

                      Mediocre as finest

    2. Gt1996
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Honestly I wouldnt bother with bringing in Mane/Firm when you already have VVD and TC on Salah.

      Mane requires ditching Son/Eriksen and doing some minor surgery, and I wouldnt be rushing to get rid of either of them as part of a -4.

      Quick thinking in my head seems to think you could go Martial + Jimi -> Firmino + 5.2m Mid (Brooks/Camarasa?) if you were desperate for another Lpool attacker

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

        No way i will sell Jimenez before Watford and mainly Fulham at home...

        Maybe you re right and i will save transfer.

        Thx for advice

        1. Gt1996
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah I agree, Watford defence is shot up right now so it makes sense to have Jimi for the next 2 anyway. I guess if you really want that 2nd Liverpool attacker then yeah I agree with your move above for Eriksen+Martial -> Mane + Jota.

          Id definitely wait and see how Eriksen plays against Brighton before making your mind up, if he looks deep then pull the trigger on it for sure

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

            Thx pal.

            Would be wonderful if Eriksen haul vs Bri then rise in price for 0.1 so i can sell him for Mane for free....

            1. Gt1996
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Maybe im missing im something but doesnt selling Erkisen leave you .3 short of a straight swap? You can't have a 9.5 SV on him surely? Unless you actually have 0.7itb and mistyped in the OP?

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

                Lol. Yes. 0.7 ITB, just checked 😀

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

                  Wait and see how Martial and Eriksen perform before deciding.

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

                    Sure. I will make transfers on friday

  8. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Worth losing Eriksen for -4 to bring in Salah? Already own Mane

    Or could get Bobby F for Gray instead.

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

      Get Bobby for Gray imo

    2. Niho992

      Firmino

    How would you get Salah or would you get Firmino/Pool defender instead?

    Ryan Foster
    Duffy Vert Valery TAA Doherty
    Eriksen Son Sterling Mane Jota
    Aguero Jimenez Gray

    1 FT, 0.1 in bank

    Cheers for any ideas.

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

      Really not much to do there.. You could get Firmino in for a hit.. but not worth it imo. Wouldn't sell Aguero

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen/Gray to Salah/Llorente too short TM?
      Maybe Sterling/Grey to Salah/4.5?
      Your usually hit averse aint you buddy and with TAA im not sure there is a pool defender option

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

        Would need to be Salah/Quaner.

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

          Not sure that's quite your style TM.....could work if Salah turns up of course.

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

          Do it you'll be benching 3rd striker anyway

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

            Hard to lose Sterling 🙁

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think that structure allows Salah without losing Kun or Sterling, both of which I would not advise. I think FIrmino can be an excellent pick down the stretch, as is a double up in D.

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

        Intersting this as a 3rd Pool player looks like a move i think is worth while but i can't decide on a defence double up or Bobby/Salah.to go with Mane.

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

        Yeah, probably shouldn't have got Gray as could have gone a lot cheaper. Probably need to lose Eriksen if Firmino is an option.

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

      A :Gray to Firmino
      Eriksen to 6.5 MID i think

      B: Aguero to Firmino for free(you already have Sterling)

      C: Sterling to Salah and Gray to fodder

      B is best for me honestly but your call

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

        A 5.9 mid.

        If Aguero goes, Salah may work.

    5. KevsHolidayFund
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm in the same position. It's sell mane and vert for salah and Robertson. Need to Downgrade Jimmy or grey to sucess and Doherty to To yoshida. -12 or -8 If you have the 2 frees 🙂

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

        1 FT. Deeney may save impossible on BB. Hopefully Gray can get at least 2 more points to cover a hit.

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

      Cheers all.

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

      You don't need an 8th attacker.. You have good rotation opportunities in defence. I kind of like Gray + Sterling -> Salah (TC) + Fodder. But might be better off keeping Sterling and saving the FT.

      Not sure there is going to be enough between Eriksen Firmino to justify a hit in that direction.

      Reacess later imo

      Aguero + Jota > Llorente + Salah for exact money

      Sterling covers Aguero somewhat, and the double Liv attack at home to Hud is so appealing - even more so if you're using the TC chip.

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

        *Sorry, just realised it's exact money for me as I have 0.5itb!

      I think VVD in for Vert would be the way to go. You end up sacrificing less in downgrading to raise funds, and he could conceivably match Firmino's output.

      Look to Jota or Gray to raise funds.

      I don't think you're getting Salah in without major surgery.

        Cheers, wish Gray was Long or similar.

    11. runny
      • 6 Years

      can you do Erikson to Deulofeu and Mane to Momo?

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

      My team is very similar in structure and I've decided to go with Erikson and ageuro out for Salah and rashford

    13. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Whats wrong with Mané?
      Get rid of Gray and Jota for Rashford and whoever
      That gives u great starting 11

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

    Ryan
    TAA Doherty Valery
    Sterling Eriksen Son Deulofeu
    Aguero Firmino Jim

    Subs: Foster Jota Doherty Kola

    Is bench / lineup correcr?

    Transfer: Eriksen -> Mane (TC)

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

      I would play Doherty over Valery.

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

        Hmm.. Yeah maybe. Would be for attacking returns though

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

      Duffy in starting lineup not Doh!

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

        Lol. I didnt even saw you wrote twice Doherty....

        I wouldnt double Bri defence anyway

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

          I rather double Up on what I believe, than split for the sake of splitting... Go big or go home as they say

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

            Brighton have decided not to play football and just fight their hearts out defensively to survive.

            1. The Artist
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              I think this is correct. They know they can't score, so they've decided to defend until they're safe.

    Zaha a decent option guys and girls?

    1. Holmes

      Yes but dont tell anyone, ssshhh...

        • 13 Years

        Been better away i think so the Cardiff games looks promising, but with the home games so good it could work.

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

    Bernardo Silva looked brilliant yesterday. Probably bringing him in for the run home

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

      3 points again

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He has looked good in real life play...but gol wise not that explosive..still a good pick

    3. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Brilliant player, but only sporadic FF returns.

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

    Sold Rondon, Hazard and Duffy for Jimenez, KDB and Bednarek (-8).
    Lloris owner with no bench cover.
    No BB and benched Dunk
    Rank decimated thus far but theres always hope of a come back 🙂

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

      Stay hopeful, another game to go for Jimimez, Bednarek and Lloris 🙂

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

        Cheers, really hope Lloris makes it back for BHA

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

          Me too, I'm in the same boat as you haha

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

      Lets hope Liverpool bring huge points 😛

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

        Mane hattie with three Robbo assists would be nice 😉

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Inside too 3k, how is that rank decimated?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        top*

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

        was just outside top 1k, rank almost tripled

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

          more annoyed with myself for selling Hazard to KDB for a hit as it was such a marginal call

  15. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Eriksen to Mane worth a FT this week?

    Also have Son and my other Pool players are Robertson and Firmino.

    Other alternative is Doherty to TAA?

    Will wait until after the Liverpool v Cardiff game of course

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

      not worth a hit. doh to taa for free is ok but id want both

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

        Eriksen to Mane would be for free. Only have 1 more Liverpool slot as already have Firmino and Robertson

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

          ah i misred. either is fine. spurs 3 home games out of 4 i kind of wanna keep eriksen

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

            Yeah that's true. Would rather lose Doherty than Eriksen. Just worried about going without Mane for the Huddersfield game

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

      I have Mane and Robertson and want one of TAA or Firmino. A little worried for TAA mins now that Gomez is back also.
      I could downgrade KDB and get in Firmino for DCL.
      For you, getting Mane seems more of a priority than Trent perhaps

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

        Getting Firmino in sounds good if you have to get rid of KDB anyway.
        Yeah its a difficult decosion whether to go double defence or not

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I prefer getting TAA as long as you have a Decent captain option

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

        Cheers, would probably rather lose Doherty. You think Trent is likely to start in the PL with Champions League coming up?

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

          Not sure but I think it's unlikely that he will be subbed on if he doesn't start. Are you happy for your 4th defender to play?

  16. 420king
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Early days but which player out of these would you start:

    A) Duffy (NEW)
    B) Valery (BOU)
    C) Doherty (wat)

    1) JWP (BOU)
    2) Llorente (WHU)

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

      B1

  17. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    How am I looking for next week?
    Gunn
    Robertson, Van Dijk, TAA, Laporte
    Sterling (C), Eriksen, Son, JWP
    Aguero, Jimenez

    Ryan, Jota, Doherty, Llorente.

    Right benching order?
    £0.5m it and 1 FT

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

      id drop jwp

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

        For Jota?

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Scary without any Pool attack but looks great otherwise.

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

        Triple defence instead was deliberate choice that I made

        1. Rojo's Modern Life
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Utter lunacy

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

    Midfielders available for 4m, yummy!

    Unfortunately at this stage, going with 3 mids wont work as there are comparatively more options available, sigh...

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

    Lloris
    Doherty Laporte Masina
    Son Sterling Mane Deulofeu
    Jimenez Aguero Vardy

    Foster Valery Yoshida Romeu

    1 FT 0.7 ITB

    Vardy >> Firmino

    Anything else needed??

    Thanks

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      keep vardy get a liverpool defender in

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

        Im also keen on keeping Vardy especially for the ARS game

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy > Bobby looks good to me.

  20. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So now this week's big question, to salah or not to salah.

    There will be lot of interest in pool assets but most will be confused between which two attackers to get out of salah/mane/firmino, same as me

    So, I have got mane, who should I get..both requires -4 hit

    A) Vardy+hojbjerg to firmino+ hudson-odoi
    B) Erikson + Vardy to Salah + 5.2 striker

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

      wouldnt take a hit

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hit is necessary for these moves, and I'm at 120k so desperate to get inside a 100k

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

          doesnt matter

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think B could work, hits not great and you know the risks but with an Eriksen rest always possible it could be gold.

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I know the risks with hits ,but I can't do any move without a hit to get pool players , and Erikson plays a little deeper now for my liking

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

          Doesnt mean a hit for Salah would work out better than one for Bobby though eh SRV.

  21. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Did anyone else bring in Success on a -8?

  22. maglia rosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Early thoughts from the greater good of the FFS commnity much appreciated after the Kdb injury and Salah options for next week?

    Ryan Gunn
    Monreal Robbo Laporte Duffy Valery
    Eriksen Mane Kdb Son Deulofeu
    Jiminez Llorente Lacazette

    4.2 Million in the Bank

    A. Llorente > Firmino (leaves no Citeh attack)
    B. Eriksen/Kdb/Laca > Salah/Razza/zaha or Rashford
    C. Kdb > Salah (as A above)
    D. Kdb > Razza (no Salah v Hud)
    E. Something else

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

      I prefer C but D is also a good move

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

        Thats the thing isnt it, afterthe Kdb injury if i go Salah its no City attackers which isnt ideal is it and blatently a minus 8 involving laca and eriksen looks un wise.

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C or D both could work...I would have said Erikson to salah..but KDB injury spoils it...or if you prefer hit then KDB+Erikson to sterling+salah possible?

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

        not without a downgrade else where i'm afraid........risk to go without salah at this stage with tight mini-leagues in the balance but likewise no city.

        1. Srv210
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Bernardo silva + salah can work too..but Bernardo not that explosive

  23. FCSB

    Hi lads, early thoughts on following team for 36? Trying to decide on Salah or double Liv defense:

    Allison, Foster

    Perreira, Duffy, WB / Bednarek, Jonny

    Mane, Son(c), Pogba, Sterling, Deulofeu

    Auba, Jimenez / King

    1 FT 0.6 ITB 🙂

      I didn’t bring him in, but I was worried about not having him.

    Nice having a good bench for the BB. But I’m guessing I’m not alone in having a benching headache for next week...

    Which to bench from the following:

    A) Deulo
    B) Jimi
    C) Wilson

    Was originally thinking Wilson, but he’s so explosive I’m scared to do it

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      C

    Laporte > Robbo for free worth it this week?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Both look great options to be fair. Not much in it.

      If no other pressing issues, I guess it’s worth a go as Pool DF has been strongest in the league

    2. Amey

      Pogba, but that depends on who else you are doing for the -4
