    Connor Wickham or Greenwood ?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wickham. I think Greenwood will price drop before GW2 if he doesnt start

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’m on Wickham. Greenwood is a price drop waiting to happen. If I’m wrong it’ll be easy to get him at 4.5

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Greeny. Far too early to worry about price drops (and theres no reason to think he will).

  2. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Kelly or Lundstram for the 4.0 slot?

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

      Lundstram but they're both shite.

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

    Some advice for improvements please

    Pope
    Trent VVD digne zinchenko
    Salah sterling moura perez
    Wilson wood

    4.0 dendonker greenwood 4.0

    I think moura and zinchenko will be very short term picks..

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      looks good... I was all set on Pool double up but just not so sure now (had it most of last season n all)

  4. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Kane + Montoya (bench dendonker)
    B) Wilson + Moura (bench Montoy)

    If B and Wilson then best fwd partner 6.5?
    1) King
    2) Jota

    1. Jota19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B + Jota is what I currently have. Kane without Erikson (if he is leaving) is a bit risky - should wait a couple of weeks.

  5. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zinchenko is finished. Cancelo announced.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      explain yourself

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Plays right back not left back?

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

        Can also play LB. Probably better than Zinch.

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          This

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

      Except that Cancelo is a right back

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

        ...,who can also play LB.

        Do keep up, 007!

  6. TheGrumpyManager

    5.5 defender or under.
    Sidibe coming to Everton means less minutes for colman imo. Any suggestions?

  7. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Feels good to be back after a few weeks beyond the wall. Got a few questions:

    A) Best 4.5 set and forget for the first few weeks? (i.e. Pope v Heaton v Ryan)

    B) Best

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Comment got ruined:

      B) Best sub 5m defender

      C) Is Barkley a trap

    3. Robin Cook
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A: why not Gunn?

      C: only time will tell

    I hope camarasa comes in cheap.

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

      You think he takes set pieces from Mili?!

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Unlikely. Certainly not pens of course. No zaha means no pens anyway.

        Just no inspiring 5.5s

  9. Sacked in the Morning
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Tell me your thoughts on my team please...
    Also, Martial or Fraser?

    Pope
    VVD Digne Zinch
    Salah KDB Martial Barkley
    Kane Wilson Ings

    minimum on the bench..

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

      Too many punts

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

        Martial Barkley and Ings? That’s not too many imo.

        1. Sacked in the Morning
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hmm....I don't think Ings is a punt but with Zinch too maybe he's right....

      2. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Agreed

    2. pmos

      Pope - Button
      TAA - Robbo - Digne - Guilbert/Montoya Rotation
      Sterling - Salah - Perez - ?? - Dendo
      King - Wilson - Wickham

      1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I would have said Fraser but perhaps siggy if your keeping both bournemouth strikers.

        1. Jota19
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

    8. TONEY HONEY
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Evening guys

      Pope-Heaton (I'll rotate them)
      VD-Maguire-M.Niles-Guilbert-Lundstram
      Salah-Sterling-Perez-Robinson-S.Maximin
      King-Rashford-Haller

      1m ITB. Should I use it to strenghten anywhere or spare it?

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

      I’ve just watched a bunch of Callum Robinson highlights to grasp what sort of player he is. Of course highlights only show the good hits, but I know that.

      How he has been classified as a midfielder I don’t know, but I'm excited to own this guy. Definitely in my team until I need Leicester players in GW7.

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That’s nuts, he is literally like centre top striker in all his goal videos! Was in my team and I took him out but need to rethink...

    10. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Folks, anyone fancy punting on Sane if he stays ?

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

        Certainly not. Pep must be aware of his attitude and will surely punish him. He’s got plenty of attacking options.

      2. In and Out
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Nope

    11. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone thinking of jumping on Zouma if David Luiz goes?

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

        Zouma was going to start anyway with Rudiger out.

        1. In and Out
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          On a par with Christensen. I wouldn’t say it was guaranteed

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

        Need to assess their defence first.

      3. polis
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Lamps loves conceding a goal or two. Get a forward player.

        Much like Arsenal, they're going to need to win 3-2.

    12. Bakerss
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      sterling or debruyne?

      1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        debruyne for me so i could have Kane.

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

        Sterling.

      3. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling... but it's not that simple

    13. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thoughts?

      Ryan (Button)
      TAA Digne Zinche Rico (Lunds)
      Salah Sterling Trossard Perez (Dend)
      Kane King (Wesley)
      0.5 itb..

      Does Angelino/Cancelo affect Zinche mins? When is Mendy coming back?

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I’m going with a 5.0 for first two weeks with 1.0 itb, switching that to City defender for 6–Walker/Mendy or Cancelo/ maybe Stones/Ota

    14. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      How much will Tierney cost?

      A) 5.5
      B) 5.0

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

        A

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        A I’m afraid

    15. lekalatch
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thoughts on Zinchenko now? Cancelo can play LB for sure and will probably start by GW2 already?

    16. bitars
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Best option here?

      Vardy, Wilson & Vertongen

      Kane, King & 5,0 Defender (who)?

    17. FPL_Architect
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zinchenko and Coleman suddenly seem too risky with the new signings of Cancelo and Sidibe. Who are you looking at for replacements?

      - Van Aanholt
      - Wan-Bissaka
      - Another premium
      - Downgrade and move money forward

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Wan B baby

      2. All de Gea no iDier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        From BBC sport: City director of football Txiki Begiristain said: "Joao is a fine player and an excellent attacking full-back who will provide us with a real threat on the right-hand side.

        Looks like Zinchenko is safe for now. Who's got Walker? LOL

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

          Very interesting thanks. Can't trust the director to know 100% but I suspect Zinchenko is safe for GW1 at least and then we can reassess how City might set up long term.

    18. Tabbara
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thoughts :
      Pope (Button)
      Zinchenko Coleman Robertson VVD (Lundstram)
      Fraser Sterling Salah Perez (dendoncker)
      Vardy King (Greenwood)

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Coleman risky with Sidibe announced.

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

      Need Luiz to move then Zouma becomes my King>Wilson cash pot. Might even keep King and sell Jota for the double Bournemouth bubble!

    20. AJBucko
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Right, come on guys......

      A. Aubameyang + Fraser
      B. Sterling + King

      1. Robin Cook
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Short term A
        Long term B

    21. gonzalocampos
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kane and Jorginho or Wilson and Sirgudsson?

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

        Latter easily.

    22. wolves_simmo

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Now looking like Zouma Christensen and Emerson
