    Not a cricket fan in the slightest, would watch most sports over it but that was exceptional, sport at its finest!

    1. Nightcrawler

      I think thay was the greatest ever world cup final of any sport

        1966 mate, however this was very special!

          Maybe it was for England but I'm talking as a neutral

      Cricket is never sensational. No matter what happens lol

        I thought that! Probably the first bit of a game I’ve watched in a decade but it was brilliant!

      Got to feel bad for new Zealand. Two really bad rules cost them the world cup

        Yup, Rules need to change. They deserved to won

    Need a £6.0 forward to complete my team, allowing me to pair Sterling with Salah. Any recommendations?
    Murray, DCL, Adams...
    Have Siggy.

    1. jayzico
      • 13 Years

      DCL for now. Monitor pre-season

      or possibly Che Adams

    Still a way to go till the start, but its weird to see theres a million teams nearly and only 36% have Salah.

  6. specc
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Rate this lot:

    Ryan - (Button)

    Robertson - TAA - Digne - Van Dijk - (Kelly)

    Perez - Sterling - De Bruyne - Sigurdsson - (Dendoncker)

    Vardy - Giroud - (Kelly)

    Thinking of an early wc around gw 5/6....

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      6/10

      I think you will struggle without Salah or Mane, why the double up on Debruyne and Sterling?

  7. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    England World Champions!

    Read it and weep TM! 🙂

      Rather they win that than football..use up all their spawn on cricket is fine by me 😀

        Nothing you say can demean the fact, we are the best in the World at whacking a hard ball around with a lump of wood.

          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          🙂 congratulations I don't even know the rules.

          Any other sport ( bar Golf) I may be slightly upset

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

    Ederson (4.0)

    VVD - Robertson - Dunk - Diop - Klly

    Zaha - KDB - Salah - Tielemans -Sigurdsson

    Vardy - King (4.5M)

    Any suggestions??

    1. specc
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      maybe perez instead of tielemans and upgrade king to giroud?

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

        Is Perez a better pick than tielemans?

        1. specc
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          From what I've read tielemans overperformed stats last year and perez is likely to partner vardy... Giroud I think is flying under the radar and could well be Chelsea's main man which would definitely put him ahead of King for me. Could all be wrong!

          1. fantasyfog
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            if giroud is a starter way better punt than king, perez also a good shout

      2. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Awful recommendations.

        1. specc
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          why?

      3. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Perez and Tielemans are the same price.

  9. bros

    A or B please

    A.Zaha / B silva / Deulofeu
    B.Perez / Siggy / Jiminez

        Thanks!
        Yes, I was swaying towards B too!

  10. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ederson
    TAA Robertson Digne
    Salah(c) Sterling siggy Fraser Dendoncker
    King Deulofeu

    All bench fodder, 0 Itb

    What would you change?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dendoncher being a starter is a big issue.

      I would limit myself to one 6.5 m forward, try to get vardy at the least

      1. No Salah
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I actually quite fancy both The forwards king and Deulofeu.

        I agree Dendoncker is a problem, only possible solution is probably to downgrade Fraser.

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

      If 3-5-2 is how you want to set up you will find a guaranteed playing 4.5 Mid by GW1. I'm fairly sure your GW1 team wll have a few changes after all the Pre-Season games have been played. Keep tinkering.

      1. No Salah
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. It’s either 3-5-2 or 4-4-2.

        If Zinchenko is nailed I’ll go with 4-4-2

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      8.5 keepers and up fodder to Zinc, go 4-4-2.

      1. No Salah
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, Only if the Burnley keeper question is solved, do you fancy any other 4.5 GK?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Ryan & Button here, decent fixtures.

          1. No Salah
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Opened another endless tinkering possibilities with your suggestion above 🙂 now on this

            Ryan
            Robbo Vandijk Digne Zinchenko
            Salah(c) debruyne Bilva Siggy
            Vardy King

            Fodders 0 itb

  11. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A or B please:

    A- Ryan, Walker, Azpi

    B- Kepa, Vertong, Wan B

    1. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’d go with A

  12. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    With Godfrey potentially out as well as Zimmerman for Norwich, Hanley could be a playing 4.0 defender for at least the start of the season. Also, Farke is known to leave his lineup unchanged despite regular starting players coming back from injury/suspension, if they're playing well. Of course, Norwich aren't going to be particulary solid at the back, but a starting 4.0 defender is always nice.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I thought you'd found a player for my g/w1 BB until I saw the fixture!

      Good info though. tx

      1. Canary_Kid
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yea fixtures aren't great (especially for a week one bench boost) but still a good stash if you're playing 3 or 4 at the back.

  13. bitm2007

    England do not win world cups easily

    1966 Extra Time
    2003 Extra Time
    2019 Super Over

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B but switch King for Deu

  14. Pirlø's Pen
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Views on this lot appreciated.

    Ryan
    Robertson TAA Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Siggurdsson L. Moura
    King Deulofeu

    Fodder

    Moura is in there for a couple of weeks before I decide which Leicester mid I want.

    1. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zinchenko isn’t nailed

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        First choice though.

        1. Yoshimiwinz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Even with Mendy healthy?

          1. Pirlø's Pen
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I would say so yes.

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Everyone is aligned on that

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good to me as I have virtually the same team. Got Perez Over Moura and Laporte over Zinchenko. Zincheko could be great but I'd want bench options just in case.

    3. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like the Moura pick

  15. Yoshimiwinz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts? Much appreciated gents.

    Ederson
    TAA//Robbo//LaPorte
    Salah//Siggy//Tielemans//Bilva//Dendonker
    Kane//King

    Button//Kelly//Reid//Greenwood

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Salah-Kane isn't the best captaincy rotation and Dendoncker isn't someone I would want to play every week.

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Laporte and Ederson is too much,
      Pick Coleman and upgrade the donkey

    26 days till start
    Getting closer
    Don't forget you should ask your main questions these days. Before start of the season this place will be too much crowded and you won't get a proper answer

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The answer you get may be outdated by GW1.

  17. BooYaKasha
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Are we overlooking Pereyra and Doucoure?
    Kindly priced, great fixtures, a bit of pedigree

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      At our peril? 😆 Not sure, they're probably priced about right at 6 but could arguably have been 5.5, the Moutinho level.

  18. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Tear it apart x

    Heaton/Pope (4.0)
    TAA VVD Laporte Coleman (4.0, whichever most likely to play)
    Salah Sterling Brooks*
    Vardy King Deulofeu

    Brooks a placeholder til I settle on which 6.5 or less mid I like. Could stretch to 7.5 if Zinchenko nailed and I go him over Laporte, or more if I go KDB over Sterling etc...

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

      Looking strong
      I would consider Vardy > Wilson, Brooks > Moura

    How's your summer going?
    I'm a bit out of touch. Would you be kind enough to point me in the
    direction of the best fixture lists, I can only find crappy week by week for all teams and I'm looking for season lists for each club at a time.

    I know it's terribly lazy of me not to search but that's what the site is here for.

    I hope you all have a great season btw.

    Perez - Salah - Bilva - Sigurdsson - (Jorginho)

    Vardy - Giroud - Deulo

      1. specc
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Figured it's Salah week in week out... with a okish backup of vardy?

        1. specc
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          And then I've spread the money from not having another big hitter as much as I can I reckon? Unless you can recommend some other picks?

          1. Sergeant Slaughter
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            All players facing the same dilemma. I love my team with just one big hitter, but know the C options will crush me in the end. It’s tempting, but not advisable imo.

  26. AlleRed

    Is Guaita worth considering? I do appreciate the loss of AWB, but seems possibly better value than Ryan if you can stretch the 0.5

    I've been changing my team all day, and I've ended up with this :
    Pope
    VVD | Laporte | Digne | Maguire
    Salah | Siggy | KDB | Perez
    Kane | King

    What do you think of it ?

      I have similar but too pool defenders and deulofeu instead of Perez (433)

    I've built a predictive model using forecast points (from FFS) + applied weights (up/down weight FFS scores - which I'll be adjusting throughout pre-season). Team is:

    Ryan (Begovic)
    TAA, VVD, Coleman, Boly (Kelly)
    KDB, Salah, Siggy, Zaha (Hayden)
    Auba, DCL (Nketiah)

    Model is built to optimise for the highest forecast points possible.
    Not bad 🙂
