    Would you play your own game if you were only 16 ahead?

    Rival has Rashford and and TAA ( I have neither) he doesn’t have Wilson.

    So which would you do?

    A: Wilson & Doherty to Rash & TAA (would need to be -8)

    B: One of the above for free

    Thanks

      Focus on your own game. What's your team? Id keep Doh this week for sure. Maybe just Wilson to Rasg

      1. ItOnlyTook9Years
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        People saying earlier that Rashford may be out for the last 2 games. So definitely wait for pressers

    2. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years

      save transfer I think.

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

        Cheers fellas. Sent that then got caught up in other stuff.

  2. Tsparkes10

    Didn't catch the spurs game :(. Guessing Lucas didn't pass the eye test? Get rid for Redmond, JWP or Mili to allow Zaha and possibly Delu in 38?

    1. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      he was lively, but spurs didn't create anything.

  3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Is Son/Eriksen/Duffy to Hazard/Bilva/Kelly worrh is lads??

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

      Wouldn’t ditch Son, Bournemouth all over the place at the back

    2. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      hits for defenders not advisable at the best of times...I would say no.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks fellas I scrap that idea straight away and back to the drawing board !!

  4. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Ryan Foster
    Valery Duffy Doherty Trip Kola
    Son Eriksen Jota Mane Sterlo
    Aguero Jimenez Ings

    vs

    Lloris Boruc
    Trent Linde Pereira Duffy Tark
    Son Hazard Mane Salah H-O
    Vardy Jimenez Calvert-Lewin

    Mine is the bottom team, money for Vardy to anyone? Slightly tempted to bring in Digne or Wan Bissaka n leave Vardy in n cap Hazard. 8 points behind rival's team, who will (c) Aguero. Help appreciated.

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You really need some city attack in there

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy to Aguero (c) does seem obvious, then hope the squad out-performs my rival.

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

    Hi....who to captain this week?

    A...kun

    B...sterling

    Surprised to see kin socfar ahead of sterling in the poll. Why is that?

    Thanks

    1. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I might do vardy to aguero (c)...

    2. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling isn't in form, compared to Kun

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

        Guess so. And kun guess is more likely to score the crucial title winning g goals perhaps given his track record...

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

      Kun for me this week, but go with your gut.
      Either could haul or blank. Sterling would be a good punt if chasing

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

    who scores more?
    A) Vardy and Valery
    B) Redmond and Jonny -4

    cheers.

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

      A

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

      I'd go A there

  7. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Guys, what changes are needed to my team? Have 1FT £1.2M itb
    Foster (Ryan)
    Robbo, Laporte, Doherty, Valery (Duffy)
    Son, Mane, Sterling, Jota (Hojberg)
    Kun, Jimi, (Llorente)

  8. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs really need that last win to secure top 4 and get some form back.

    Don’t see wholesale changes jeopardising league position just to give the UCL a better crack.

    A few changes here and there but can’t see Eriksen resting when there’s no alternative.

  9. Captain Beefheart
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Don't know what to do with TC, considering Kun this week or next against Brighton, any thoughts?

  10. Bobadoba
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy or Jimenez out for Long?

    (Need to raise cash).

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

      Vardy to score against City away...tricky?

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

        He could do it. He could easily score against Chelsea, too. Both likely to score before end of the season.

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

      Would be mad to drop Jimenez before Fulham, IMO.

  11. niloh1
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Here is my team

    Foster Ryan
    Taa, Duffy, dunk, valery, Bennett
    Salah, mane, b Silva, son, jwp
    Aguero, jimi, llorente

    A) dunk to Laporte
    B) llorente to rashford/ Wilson/ gray
    C) save
    D) any other options?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Actually probs save and play a 343 this week.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Or a 352 benching Brighton and llorente

  12. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best move?

    A) Duffy -> Shaw

    B) Eriksen & Gray -> Hazard & Shane Long (-4)

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

      B

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Gtg or move out Lucas?

    Lloris
    Robo Kolas Doh
    Son Lucas Jota Sterl Mane
    Jimenez Aguero
    (Foster, Val, Origi, Masina)

    Probs bring in Zaha and possibly Bilva for 38. Thoughts?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would move Lucas > BSilva.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not affordable mate

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

    Currently 5th in my ML with 28 points between me and 1st, so positions are up for grabs... still have my TC too...

    Lloris
    Doherty Laporte Matip Yoshida
    Son Sterling Mane
    Aguero Jimenez Vardy

    Foster Deulofeu Valery Romeu

    1FT 0.1ITB

    1. Vardy >> Zaha / Rashford / Wilson
    2. Deulofeu >> Babel / McArthur
    3. Something Else?

    Thanks

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wait for pressers. Like Zaha as a punt. Team looks good this week though imo.

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Def wait fir pressers but like the Babel punt.

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

      Babel is firing shot like a miracle,nice punt but not too sure

  15. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender for ONE WEEK only thats 5.1 or under?

    I'm thinking Sokratis(BHA), Keane(BUR) or Shaw(hud) I don't fancy a Manchester united CS though.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No one really stands out at that price tag. Who are your other defenders?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Laporte (LEI) TAA (new) Valery (whu) Masina (che) Duffy (ars)

        Will play: Laporte + TAA + [Duffy Replacement]

        Next GW I'll play: Laporte (bha), TAA (WOL), Valery (HUD)

        Which is why I only need a 1 week defender punt for Duffy 🙂

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Late reply but play Valery instead of switching. No other standout options this week imo.

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

      If you're playing Valery vs HUD then surely the same reasoning would lead you to Shaw vs HUD?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Slightly put off by Manchester United's defensive form. Also, I noticed that in the last 5 seasons. Every team that has came 20th in the league has got a result in their last home game of the season (Draw or win), maybe it's a mentality thing? To please the fans in their last premier league game at home.

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

        This

  16. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    eriksen and llorente to siggy and zaha -4?

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

      Not sold on Siggy for the last 2 but could work out.

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

      M done with siggy with a Blank captaincy twice but definitely he is exciting to watch & have potential to haul !!!

  17. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Couldn't watch the game. How did my Spurs boys look tonight? Lively? Unlucky? Lucky? Knackered?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would say lucky it was only 1-0. Spurs didn't create anything, Ajax should have scored again but hit the post.

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

      Who are your Spurs boys? Spurs overall looked tired and lacked quality.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Eriksen in particular. Thanks guys

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Like a bunch of journeymen.

      Take out Son & Kane and there isn't much left. Eriksen needs to be playing with much better team-mates really. Send him to RM and he'll do a Modric.

      Danny Rose was good, as usual. Sissoko made a difference when he came on. Otherwise nothing of note really. If Llorente is your 2nd striker at the club then what can you expect? The squad needed improvement last summer and didn't get it.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, Ruth

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

        He'll never do a Modric. He doesn't have the ability to get rid of his marker with a single turn, or take the ball from his own third to the final third on his own. Sissoko does that for him at Spurs. Him vs the 33-year-old Modric, I will take the latter any day of the week.

  18. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Digne or Shaw?

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

      Digne with form, Shaw with fixtures. Shaw also getting some attacking returns. In isolation Shaw looks the better pick for the last 2.

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

      Digne serves u well if u can't trust utd

  19. Birds of Prey
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I've got a +5pt lead in my cash league. The guy behind me has
    Sterling and Wan-bissaka.

    should I block, and Son/Eriksen> Sterling/Kelly (-4) exactly my itb
    or play it straight and Duffy > Digne (no-hit)
    guessing I'm not only one in this position. Thoughts? thx

  20. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Team is:
    Lloris (Gunn)
    TAA Robbo Laporte (Benderek Cathcart)
    Mane Eriksen Son Sterling Jota
    Aguero Jiminez (Gray)

    Team is in good shape but Spurs don't look like they have a lot of goals in them and son hasn't scored many lately, so thinking of ditching one or both of them. Leicester's problem is teams that park the bus, chelsea and city won't do that, so I acc think Vardy will do wel. Hazard will want to go out with a bang. United have a great couple of fixtures and pogba is a flat track bully. with all of this in mind...

    A) Son, Eriksen & Gray to Hazard, pogba and long -4. (Have to act today as long is set to rise)
    B) Eriksen and gray to Babel and Vardy
    C) Eriksen and son to Hazard & Milevojevic.

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

      There are better option then Vardy for last two GWs I think rashford(if fit)/ZAHA even in form Wilson/long

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

    Play who out of these:

    1. Deulofeu (che)
    2. Yoshida (whu)
    3. Valery (whu)

    Thanks

    1. the dom 1

    What’s the chances of my main rivals in my money leagues catching me if I lead by 102pts in one league and 83pts in the other in the 2 final GWs.? Only one has TC chip left.

    Thoughts??

    1. Victor6359

      Not a chance

    2. Kiwivillan

    Firmino is named in the Liverpool squad for Barcelona that is a good sign.

  27. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    2FT Have exact money for Eriksen + Trippier to Hazard + 5m def. Thinking Shaw or Lindelof. Good trades?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You are only 3 points ahead of me so I would like you to take a couple of more transfers please.

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

        I will in me bollix

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

      I’d say so - United defence worth a punt assuming he’ll play both weeks

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

      That move seriously tempting especially without hit !!!

  28. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years

      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Duffy > Shaw gives u well balanced defender for both GWs,no need to look at to those defence then..then next GW probably jiminez>rashford/zaha then season done !!! GL

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

        Yeah, my feelings too as I don't want to ticker too much and over think it. Cheers.

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

      An alternative is Doh to Laporte.

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

        Yeah, considered that myself earlier, just can't face losing Doh before Fulham. Thanks
