      Eriksen to Pogba or Sigurdson?

      Or

      Lascelles to Digne or Shaw

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Eriksen - > Pogba imo

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Probably Eriksen to Pogba.

      A bit unfair on traffic cones

    3. Kiwivillan

      How much is Robbie Keane?

    4. jdp219

      Are the traffic cones added to the official game yet?

    Duffy and Vert out Shaw and TAA in

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good

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

      Yeap

  3. Connor's Calling

    Being chased in my mini league by someone who’s 26 points behind and has Salah and Wilson (I have neither), but no Sterling. So do I go for:

    A) Sterling, Eriksen, Gray -> Salah, Gundogan, Wilson (-4)

    B) Eriksen, Gray -> B Silva, Rashford (free)

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

      A for sure.

    2. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Defo A

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

      Why do you want Wilson now? Has spurs and palace away

    4. Rising_Son
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If you want coverage, the other key decision is matching the captain. Make sure to guess well whom your rival is going to captain.

  4. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A. Pogba & Mane

    B. Sterling & Son

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Does B also involve ditching Salah?

      Tough one. I'm inclined to say B, though Sterling is the only one I don't have!

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Mane - > Sterling or Son - > Pogba

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Very tough. Probably Son to Pogba imo.

        2. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          So in that case, A!

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

      A.

    3. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

  5. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester to prove the undoing of City. Vardy brace and a 1-2 FT.

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

      Please make it happen.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Actually, make it 2-3.

        Aguero brace, with at least one assist for Laporte.
        Vardy brace and a worldie from Tielemans to steal the 3pts.

        Then I'll be beaming:
        Aguero(c) haul? Check.
        Vardy haul? Check.
        Laporte >1pt? Check.
        City drop points? Check! 😆

        Imagine if this actually happens, no matter how unlikely.

    Winning v City the UCL QF has been such a poisoned chalice for Spurs.

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

    Which moves for free?

    a) Dunk+Eriksen to PVA+Bilva
    b) Eriksen+Son to Hazard+Mili
    c) Eriksen+JWP to Bilva+Mili.

    Thanks guys.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Head says B but I'd be kinda reluctant to lose Son as well as Eriksen (I'm keeping the Korean).

      A could be massively differential. I think I'd wanna keep JWP for GW38.

      A maybe?

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

        Why keep Eriksen. Out of form, tired as all Spurs.

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I'm not advocating keeping Eriksen? I said A, which involves ditching him (as I almost definitely will do too).

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

      Worth keeping up for huddersfield in 38?

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

        Jwp*

  8. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Son -> Pogba for free?

    Sold Eriksen for Salah last week.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not for me. Son should start and Bournemouth defence is leaky

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I am tempted.. Son should start but minutes could be managed

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I've had the same question. Been told to not bother.

  9. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Do you guys think eriksen will get rested this weekend ?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Agree with what Rainer said on last page about it.

      I think he needs a rest the way he's been playing recently, but it's more a question of who do they start in his absence?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yep spurs haven't secured a top 4 finish yet I am not convinced ..

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He's played so badly the last 2 games it doesn't matter who they play instead

  10. Openboxman
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Erikson > pog
    Grey > zaha
    Free.

    Pog > Redmond in 38

    Thoughts?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pop to Redmond definitely.no imo

  11. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Seriously considering Salah To Hazard - got rid of Mane though...Thoughts.?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not for me

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

      Dont..Theres only one Mo.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nah I'd want at least one of the Liverpool lads.

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Soooo. Is anyone actually keeping Eriksen?

    Do you already have at least 3 from Haz, Pogba, Sterling, Son and a LIV mid? (I ask because the first 3 are who I see most people replacing him with, and the latter 2 seem to be a staple in most teams otherwise)

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I only have Son and Salah from those. Def got the fear and think I need to do something about it!

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I have son eriksen Salah and pogba

      I have no idea what to do with eriksen

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Haha I feel ya mate, same but with Mane over Mo.

        I can ditch Vardy and get Raz, or ditch Duffy and get Haz!

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I will probably keep

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Interesting. Could honestly be the smart thing to do. Not tempted by Haz/Sterling though? How easily can you get either?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Hello Dakes. Would need to take a hit not worth it imo. Also last game is home to Everton and as you know gw 38 are goal feasts 🙂

  13. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Those of us with only Son from Spurs mids and no Haz or Sterling (but have Kun). What is the plan?!

    Just stick as Son will def play and needs to perform or forget him and drop for Haz or Sterlinho?

    Either move would require moving Firmino on to fund it

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Real tough one. See how Haz gets on re minutes in EL on Thursday, too, but I'd be tempted to keep Son if I'm honest. I'm leaning towards getting Hazard over Sterling as I can afford that w/o losing Vardy (as below)

      WYR (at this point)

      A) Erik Vardy --> Sterling 7.4 (Rashford/Zaha...)
      B) Erik Duffy --> Hazard Kelly(3.9 CRY def, bench)

      Either way I think I'm keeping Son and (C) Aguero

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeh in your case I’d go B

        I know I’ll be trolled whatever I decide but I really don’t want to ruin the decent comeback I’ve made the last few weeks! V frustrating!

  14. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Currently 26 and 30 points ahead in ML. Approach to take this week?

    A) play conservatively and make transfers to block

    B) bring in differentials that could do well (e.g Hazard)

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      honestly depends on

      A) How you like to play
      B) If there's (a bunch) of money involved

  15. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Play Wilson or Moura this week?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson ... Spurs could rest players imo

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Why on Earth do people keep saying Hazard will play his last game at Stamford Bridge this weekend?

    He plays again at the Bridge for Europa League 2nd Leg.

    (Not that he is not a decent option vs. the Watford defence.)

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Last league game I think people mean, but just aren't specifying.

      Or they're a bit silly who knows

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

        I'm sure the desire is that he puts in a great 'last' performance at the Bridge.

        It's just a bit of a flawed argument considering it won't be his actual 'last' one. I doubt the distinction between PL/EL means -that- much to Hazard.

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Fair point lol. Who knows!

  17. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any changes needed or GTG?

    Kepa
    Robertson Luiz Kolasinac
    Mane Son Pogba B.Silva Jota
    Aguero Jimenez

    Bench: Valery, Duffy, Grant

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

      GTG

      Though I don't like Kola

  18. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    TC Aguero or Sterling this GW?

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

    2. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

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

    13 points behind cash mini league leader.

    Eriksen + Son > Hazard + Jota (-4)

    Seriously tempting as last ditch attempt to close gap.....Thoughts?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Go for it imo. Just obviously with the knowledge that Spurs COULD turn it on v bou.

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah

    3. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds good

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

    I haven use my triple captain chip. I really need to win this week but my opponent have lacca and Auba this week against brighton. He doesn't have aguero or sterling.. should I use my TC chip this week ?

    a) Yes. ( Jiminez/ Aguero/ Sterling/ Mane/ Jota)
    b) No. keep it for city stars on the last game of the week

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

      I would do B

  21. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is this worth a -4?

    Firmino and Eriksrn —> Sterling and Zaha

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah

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

      I would

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

    Son -> Bilva?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Keep

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It's a move I am looking at, but it may have to wait till next week.

      Bilva vs. Sterling in the Comparison Tool is quite interesting over the last few GWs.

  23. pjanns
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris
    Laporte - TAA - Robbo
    Son - Jota - Hazard - Mane
    Jiminez - Vardy - Aguero

    (Ryan - JWP - Valery - Peltier)

    1 ft 0,6 ITB

    Any suggestions to make the team better?

    I think I will be rolling the FT.

  24. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    What's the latest on Rashford's fitness?

  25. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Got my question read out for the first time on the scoutcast, woo!

  26. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A. Son & Vardy to Sterling & Benteke

    B. Son & Jimenez to Sterling & Long

    1. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

  27. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Son and Vardy to Hazard and Zaha -4?

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

      Don't like that!

  28. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any move worth considering with the squad? Not confident with my GKs this week, that's for sure.
    Do I just save the FT?

    Foster
    Robbo, TAA, Laporte
    Mane, Sterling, Son, Jota
    Aguero, Jimenez, Wilson
    (Ryan, JWP, Valery, Duffy)

  29. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How does this -8 look

    Vertonghen + Eriksen + Firmino -> PVA + Sterling + Zaha

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

      hmm really not a fan of those moves, especially for -8. Just move Vert on

  30. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Eriksen and Doucoure to Jota and Bernardo -4?
