  8. Rising_Son
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    What's the best move? (1 FT, 0.8 ITB)

    A) Eriksen, Doucoure -> Sterling, Hayden (Benched), -4 hit
    B) Eriksen, Doucoure -> Hazard, Højbjerg (GW38), -4 hit
    C) Eriksen -> Pogba or Siggy
    E) Doucoure -> Jota or Mili

    Have 31-point lead but neutralized by rival's TC & BB availability.
    Rival's main differentials: Mili, Siggy, King and Salah
    My main differentials: Robbo, Son, Wilson and Mane

    1. Rising_Son
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I meant: D) Doucoure -> Jota or Mili

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        D looks good. Doucoure to Jota this week, given decent gap..
        Although having either Sterling/Hazard could increase your gap significantly.

      Laporte or Shaw. Mostly Laporte. Nice squad - good balance.

  10. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years

    Most nailed arsenal defender ?

    Is it worth doing Verto to arsenal defender for free ?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Get Shaw

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years

      I own Kola and think of selling for Digne.

  11. FCSB

    Is there a way or site, where you can see a summary of your team over the season?

    Like, who has played in your team the most, best performer, worst transfer, etc??

    thanks

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years

      Gargatron or anewpla maybe

  12. KINGS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Eriksen & Gray > Lukaku & Camarasa for a hit?

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Wait on injury news for lukaku

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Kaku not fit imo

  13. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Is this transfer worth?

    Moura+VVD to Pogba +AWB or Shaw (-4)

    I know utd in bad form and all but surely they get something against Huddersfield

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      No, keep VVD imo

  14. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Between captain Kun and captain Haz

    Kun averages a stonking 38.5 as captain for me this season. Haz a more modest 15.5.

    Feels like I can’t miss - so I’ll probably go Jota!

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I'm on Kun atm home record speaks volumes

  15. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    If Firmino is fit should I keep or transfer him out for Zaha/Wilson anyways?

    Foster
    Laporte, TAA, Doherty
    Sterling, Mane, Jota, Son
    Aguero, Firmino, Jimenez

    (Ryan, Ward-Prowse, Valery, Duffy) 0.1 ITB

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I’d hold him.

      I’d seriously look at Guaita over a forward. You might get some save points I guess but otherwise it doesn’t look great for either Foster or Ryan.

      Nice looking squad

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks! Foster to Guaita was actually my original transfer plan prior to Firmino's injury

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      if he's fit for Barca, i'm not sure he can backup and play 2 games in 4 days

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        That's a fair point... Bahhh feels like this transfer is going to decide my ML winning

    3. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Apart from 4 defenders our team is the same. Facing the same issues. Idk if a goalkeeping transfer isn't a waste at this point, will hardly close any points gaps.

  16. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Hazard (tc) my best bet to enter top 10K? Currently 25K with hazard my main differential. Have kun, sterling and mane.

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      How much do you need to make up? TC is a huge differential in itself right now.

      Kun feels a surer thing to me. Triple Kun added Hazard and ygd combo of Raz and Mane looks really good to me if we get a double Salah blank.

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Around 40 points

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        But yeah that makes sense. Might just go with Kun Tc

  17. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Own Sterling, Jota, Mane, Son & Eriksen. Looking to offload Eriksen.
    A. Eriksen > Pogba
    B. Eriksen > Bsilva or Sane
    C. Eriksen > Hazard & Wilson > Long -4

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Tough - all reasonable moves.

      It goes against the consensus here but given the choice I’d hold Eriksen and sell Son. The form is pretty clear. I know Son has had a rest but he’s on a poor old run really

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

        Eriksen kinda is too though if you overlook the one goal v Brighton?

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Dunno

          He’s been really consistent since he got back into the side. He doesn’t haul much but most weeks he’ll give you something. Overpriced perhaps.

          Don’t fancy either much in truth. Spurs don’t look to be where the goals are.

  18. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Is Rashford definitely out?

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Not confirmed out yet, but struggling with shoulder injury, hopefully Ole let's us know before the weekend

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

    Who would you prioritize getting in? 2FT 0.9 ITB, full team linked (I’m keeping son, got Kun(c))

    A) Hazard (means losing Eriksen Duffy)
    B) Sterling (means losing Eriksen Vardy)

    And why? Leaning towards A as a differentialish pick and means I can keep Vardy but appreciate all input! 🙂

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I’d definitely go A . I’m losing Vardy for Hazard but he could be gold in 38. Wish I could keep him and Hazard.

      (Been tracking your side amongst others for a while - it’s a great squad. One of the few I’ve seen that has clearly outpointed me since gw20! I was super casual first half of the season).

      GL and well played.

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

        Thanks very much mate! Yeah had a pretty bad start and was up around 800k by my first WC around GW5, but a couple of cracking weeks and some good TV management now that I’m paying close attention to everything FPL this season for the first time and been able to largely maintain rank since then! Nice to hear some positive feedback man appreciate it, haha. Good luck to yourself for the reason of the season!

  20. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    1 FT

    A) Mane -> Hazard

    B) Son -> Pogba

    ?

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

      Probably B

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      B of those two

  21. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Who'd you sell for Hazard ??
    A. Mane
    B. Son

    Was all set on Mane, but Spurs don't look too good atm so ....

    Thank you !!

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I’m losing Son. He was a bit of a defensive pick on WC anyway so I’m happy to do it.

      Looking at Spurs PL results in the last two months the Huddersfield score stands out rather doesn’t it?

      0-1
      1-0
      0-1
      4-0
      2-0
      1-2
      1-2
      1-1

        Great point Pingi.
        Thank you for this 😮

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I don't think either is worth it

      Spurs could quite easily tonk Bournemouth imo

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Hello BB,
        I'm looking to improve my rank so Hazard © in my mind.
        You don't like the idea ??

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          high risk high reward move...who are your other captain choices?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Sterling
            Aguero
            Mane
            Son
            Jimenez
            Jota

            1. bigbudgie
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 12 months ago

              The city boys will be top of the captain poll right? Son to Hazard for free if you can, but captain Aguero or Sterling?

              But ultimately, go with your gut. Would be amazing if Haz (c) came off and City had a quiet game!

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 12 months ago

                Thank you mate 🙂
                Raz/Hazard is the Choice.
                So you'd also sell Son then.

                1. bigbudgie
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 12 months ago

                  If I could sell him for Haz/Sterling for free, I would, my only choice is Sane, Bilva, Pogba

                  1. bigbudgie
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 12 months ago

                    so kind of contradicting myself there...I DO think Son to Haz is worth it, but with risk considered carefully. Chelsea are not exactly on fire

                    1. Amey
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 12 months ago

                      Yeah.
                      Good point.
                      I'm trying to get a huge rise so looking at Hazard as have nothing to lose now.

                      Son & spurs in general looking tired to me. It's miracle how they gone past of City tbh 😀

                  2. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 12 months ago

                    Sane will not play again imo.
                    Can let him go tbh

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years

      Hey Amey! Have you played your TC?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Used it on Sane buddy.
        GL to you.
        Hazard TC home to Watford 😮
        Looks amazing to me

  22. MagnetBPS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Play one:
    Wilson
    Vardy

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Wilson

  23. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I’ve got 7.6 to spend on a forward. Already have Jiménez and Rashford seems a giant risk... any suggestions from the enlightened community please?

    1. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Zaha is a good punt

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

      Zaha or Long would be my pick

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Zaha or Mitrovic

    4. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Danny Ings, don't @ me 😉

  24. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    My team is linked, anyone mind giving me a quick pointer as to what transfer I should make? Looking at selling Son or Firmino. Hazard is enticing but that would involve selling Mane or Son + Firmino and a hit. Cheers guys, desperate to close ML gap.

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

      just Firmino to Zaha can do the job if you want to keep Son/Mane

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I'm not fixed on keeping Son but he can deffo haul last two games, I think especially if Spurs are knocked out of CL. I'll probably do your suggested transfer, but will wait on Barca result. Cheers.

  25. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I'm chasing. One of my two rivals doesn't have Sterling but both have Aguero. Captain Sterling, or maintain the gap with Aguero cap?

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Kun Aguero

      Not considering Pogba?

      As bad as United look, surely they'll grab a few against Huddersfield and Cardiff

        With fitness concerns over utd strikers and possiblity of Sanchez leading the line,they don't inspire much confidence,do they

    Slightly boring one but because I think I'm saving FT:
    Play one
    A) Redmond (whu)
    B) Doucoure (CHE)

    Going to waste TC chip this year as well... 😮

    I'm thinking of letting go of Son for Pogba this week. I also have Erik and just feel that Son is going to be hooked early against Bournemouth as he's their most important player for that CL 2nd leg.

    I know Pogba is not on great form, but surely it's wise to get some Utd cover for hud and then CAR, rather than holding two Spurs midfielders with also -arguably- not great form. With Rashford a doubt, and Lukaku too pricey, be seems the only option. My final transfer for 38 would then likely be Jimenez to Zaha.

    Sound an ok plan?

    In short:
    A) Son to Pog (have Erik)
    B) Hold

    How can I close 13 and 4 point gaps respectively on two rivals? Feels doable but so much pressure on the last two transfers. Firm -> Zaha looks good, but neither of them have Firm so he's a decent differential if he does play. Thanks guys.

      13pts is not much really and I'm sure you must be having some decent differentials.Like you said above, Sterling is one of them. He can single handedly do the job.

        just play normally this week and lets see what the gap is next week

          Yeah good shout. Thanks a lot.

        Yeah true, although that's kind of leaving it to chance with one player. The real issue is they both have Laporte, but don't think it makes sense to do a defensive transfer this late on. Thanks, there is some hope I guess.

      13 points = normal weekly swings in GWs...with two to go....keep Firmino...save FT and have 2 going into 38

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years

        Thanks mate, reassuring. Only remaining argument for selling Firm is that his minutes might be managed coming back from injury and if he's risked agaisnf Barca.

        You wouldn't do Ryan -> Guaita so I have a solid keeper choice for last two games? Other keeper is Foster.

      I'm 43 ahead with TC advantage still left and probably more worried than I should be. If I was 13 ahead I'd be terrified. That's nothing

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years

        Thanks man. Yeah you seem in a very solid position, well done. Would you play Ryan this week and save FT or get Guaita in?
