    1. Che Adams or Ings?
    2. Does it make sense to get Pope if I get a Southampton forward?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Che
        Don't think it matters at all

      • FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No better combo than Pope and the Saints.

      • Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        1. Adams
        2. No matter who you pick as a set and forget, they will face at least one of your other players before you wildcard... doesn’t really matter if it’s GW1.

      • polis
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Pens to consider. Plus Ings look like playing more central.

    2. The Habib Beyes
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hey, What do people think of the prospect of having a 5.5 defender on the bench?

      Thinking of getting Rose rather than KWP, as I reckon the only advantage of having a spurs defender is when they can play GW 1,3,5 , whereas if we're unlucky KWP might not even get to GW 3...

      1. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not smart

        • polis
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Nothing wrong with it. People forget it's a squad of 15.

      2. TMERC187
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thoughts on my backline?

        Ederson (Button)
        VVD TAA Robbo (Rico,Dunk)
        KDB Martial Pulisic Siggy (Deod)
        Kane (C) King Wood

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

          Too many eggs in one basket.

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

          No Salah or Sterling? Brave or stupid, cant decide.

        3. Pinturicchio10
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Don't like this team at all to be honest.

        4. Mesh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Deeney or Deulofeu?

          1. Snooze ya lose
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Del if fit

          2. UnitedFan
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Deeney. Think Del will possibly be reverse OOP now they've brought in Welbeck.

        5. Mackans
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Which keeper of these do you think will get the most points this season?

          Dubravka
          Patricio
          Leno
          Foster

          1. Snooze ya lose
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Pat

          2. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            None

            You’re missing the keeper who is best value ppm on this year’s prices from last year’s points.

            Clue he’s 5.0

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              And it’s not Fabianski if you’re wondering.

            2. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Schmeichel.

            3. LangerznMash
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I hope you are thinking Leno, I've had nothing but negative comments when stating that I am starting with him.

              1. Nomar
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                No, I think he’s talking about Schmeichel.

                Out of the list you’ve given, I think Leno gets the most points.

            4. Mr Q
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Guaita

          3. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Leno.

        6. thom830g
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Suggestions to what to get in empty spaces would be very appreciated! Got 10,5 m in the bank.

          Ederson - Mcgovern
          VVD - TAA/Robbo - Montoya - Walker-Pieters - XX
          KDB - B.Silva - Salah - Dendoncker - Xx
          Kane - King - Greenwood

          Was thinking
          A) Aké (5 m) + mcginn (5.5m)
          B) cathcart/balbuena (4,5m) + Barkley (6m)

          But not satisfied with either option

          1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Lundstrom and Perez

            1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              This

        7. For Fuchs Sake
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Who does this effect then?

          BREAKING: Everton have signed full-back Djibril Sidibe on a season-long loan from AS Monaco

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            good signing, coleman

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

            Hopefully, as a Digne owner, this will effect Coleman.

          3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Means I'm definitely going Zinchenko over Coleman!
            One headache done

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

              *one headache postponed

              1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                As long as it's postponed until after Friday at 7 at least I'm happy lol

            2. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Erm, Cancelo......?

              1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                He's RB, competition for Walker

        8. bigmacs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          What do you think about my 541?

          Pope
          Robbo VVD Zinc Coleman (Lundstram)
          Mo Sterling Moura Fraser Perez
          Wilson (Greenwood, Wickham)

          I would like to do Perez to some FWD like Deulo, Jota or King, but it seems not right for me.
          Any suggestions?

          1. bigmacs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            451 ofc

          2. Majestic Chanka
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Might want to rethink coleman

            1. bigmacs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Do you think he won't play?

        9. Dave Dreamer
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Why are people going for Wood over Barnes? Stats seem to support Barnes...

          1. william prunier
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Pre season form perhaps

          2. Snooze ya lose
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            50/50

          3. Hairy Potter
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Place under threat from JRod?

          4. AuFeld
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Correct. However, it's Wood who was in form during preseason and Jay Rod has more mins in preseason then Barnes.

          5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Better all round striker. Pre Season Form good. Less of a temper!

        10. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Have Vardy in my team...and Perez atm...best £6.5m or £7m MID instead of Perez?

          Other option is to upgrade King to Wilson and downgrade Perez to a £5.5m MID?

          1 - Best £6.5m/£7m MID?
          2 - Best £5.5m MID?

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

            Barkley and use the 1-1.5m

        11. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Is the Cancelo transfer going to change your approach to city defenders?

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

            Only Laporte or Ederson are viable options now imo.

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

              Stones.

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

                Not nailed.

            2. william prunier
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Agree
              I think Walker could slot into CB role. Nothing changes Danilo was a threat.

        12. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Anyone here starting without Sterling?

          Was thinking of having Auba instead who looks great captaincy option in gw2.

          1. Pinturicchio10
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Sterling for sme and funnily enough he'll be my captain in gw2.

            • Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Gone Kane, Salah and KDB. Sterling unbalanced me a hellava lot

                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Nah. I'm good ta

            • polis
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I'm going without both. 3 premiums is a fallacy.

            • Pompel
              • 10 Years

            • Bees4Lyf
              • 7 Years

              If sterling just scores his price will go up

          2. BadgersBoys
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Welback will hardly impact Deulofeu, will he?

            1. aapoman
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Might push Deulofeu to a midfilder/winger role

              1. BadgersBoys
                • 10 Years

          6. Shteve
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Thoughts on this, 1st RMT

            Heaton 4.0
            Robbo TAA AWB Zinchink Cathcart
            Salah Sterling Perez
            Wilson Rashford

            Mcginn Dendonk Wickham

            Mcginn will play most weeks instead of Cathcart.

          7. Tomerick
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            A) Ryan and Target
            B) Heaton and Montoya

            Defender would be benched, keeper could be pope but will be set and forget.

            Something not quite right. Any suggestions? Would also prefer digne over Coleman. Should I downgrade Fraser?

            Pope (Heaton)
            Laporte, taa, Coleman (dunk, lund)
            Salah, sterling, Fraser, Perez (dendonker)
            Wilson, deulofeu, Murray

              More so then ever. He and Rashford lead the team for preseason mins.

            Still haven't made a 1st draft.

            Panic!

              Squeaky bum time or something like that.

              Any thoughts on which players are nailed in your team yet?

              Surely you’ve played around with a few?

            A) King and Vardy or

            Real going for Neymar, eh?

            El Clasico needed a bit of spicing up.

              Would sell Coleman now. Need to find a nice rotation 4.5 m players

            And now Sidibe in means Coleman is dead!

            Keep twisting this team...

            Pope
            Robbo TAA Zinchenko (Diop Rico)
            Salah Sterling Siggy Perez Trossard
            Wilson Adams

            A. Downgrade Diop to a 4.0 and upgrade Adams to Jota
            B. Downgrade TAA to VVD and upgrade Adams to Jota
            C. Keep

              Zinchenko is done. Cancelo just signed

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Not sure Cancelo ever played left back

                  He can play LB too.

                  Pretty much now a lottery in City defence other than Laporte and Ederson.

                  Not good.

                  1. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    City already have 3 options at LB. Surely that’s enough.

                Nah. Cancelo is right back and there is no way he plays immediately
