    Any Head 2 Head leagues available?

    1. bantamdave
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      £10 h2h league available. Winner takes all

  2. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with Walker? Keep or is he a rotation risk with Cancelo joining

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rotation risk certainly from GW3 I'd guess.

    2. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      i moved him on
      cancelo is a big signing - him and walker will surely rotate

    3. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Walker had several 'mares last season, not surprising to see Pep in the RB market.

    4. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep, two reasons;

      1) Cancelo also plays on the left so it maybe Zinc who is more at risk.

      2) Reports from Juventus is he can be the best RB in the world for 85 and then lose you the game in 5 mins.....Pep will hate that.

    5. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Walker to be second choice RB or possibly moves to cb imo

  3. edgtmorris
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Team A:
    Pope/Heaton
    Trent/Digne/Zinchenko/AKE/Lundstram
    Salah/Sterling/Moura/Fraser/Dendoncker
    Wilson/ADAMS/ORIGI

    Team B:
    Pope/Heaton
    TAA/Digne/Zinchenko/ALDERWEIRELD/Lundstram
    Salah/Sterling/Moura/Fraser/Dendoncker
    Wilson/JOTA/GREENWOOD

  4. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ended up with Wilson and Trossard in midfield, 0.3% and 0.6% owned. That's too much punt?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ofcourse

  5. CYN
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    genuinely my first RMT 😡

    would appreciate any feedback

    Pope
    Laporte - Robertson - Coleman
    Martial - Sterling - Salah - Perez
    Ings - Wilson - Kean

    Button - Kiko - Dendonk - Greenwood

    Main question are whether I need TAA in a 442 and whether to go with a different striker to Kean as I've heard he might not even start GW1.

    1. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Readonably Template. I always presume sings is injured...Kean only just signed and no PL experience

  6. Guru Mediation
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Kane, perez, Barkley
    B) Rashford, siggy, Mili

    Thinking I need penalty takers

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A looks much better to me

  7. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Changed again tonight but think I'm going to lock in with this now.

    Pope
    VVD, Robertson, Digne, Zinchenko.
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Perez.
    Wilson, King.

    Button, Lundstrom, Dendoncker, Greenwood.

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      thast my team except i think im going for Ryan for easier fixtures

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have the same, but Kane and Sigurdsson instead of Wilson and Sterling. Good luck!

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Opps, Vardy and Kane, instead of Wilson and Sterling. 4-3-3

  8. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Currently on A

    A) Heaton, Montoya
    B) Ryan, Guilbert

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yup

  9. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson the only safe city defensive asset?

    Thought Stones may have sufficed but there's been talk of Fernandinho playing centre back....

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and see, you don’t need City def yet

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Don't fancy them for early clean sheets?

    2. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      laporte safe too?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I thought he was an injury risk?

        1. CYN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          good point but he will be safe if fit

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Agreed. Fingers crossed Pep gives us good info in his presser!

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Im going Stones ... I think hes the most likely to partner laporte ..

      If fernandinho or Otamendi start getting games ahead of him then its an easy switch to a spurs def or AWB ...

  10. AU79
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do u consider any Chelsea players at all?
    If yes which one would you pick?

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      too early imo
      barkley as a punt due to the price

    2. polis
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pulisic

    3. Bakerss
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      ive stayed away for now, but with the potential exit of luiz, zouma could be a good choice

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

    Camarasa to Palace. Looked a genuinely good player at Cardiff last season. Could be a good shout if he comes in for £5m

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      agreed! he could be a great 4th or 5th mid option at 5m

  12. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hi guys whos the best defender for 4.5 or under?

    1. werthers11
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cahill for Palace

      1. Hint
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No way - not at the start anyway. Hasn't had a pre-season, I doubt he'll play for a few game weeks.

        Guilbert or Montoya are probably the best shouts.

  13. Bakerss
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    RMT please.
    Ryan
    Robertson Walker Digne
    Salah Sterling Perez Fraser Doucoure
    Wilson Jota

    McCarthy Aarons Lundstram Greenwood

  14. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What time is each teams presser? Are they all before the deadline?

  15. Tauruspt
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What are we to expect of Cancello?

    Starter?
    Is he fit?

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

      No preseason so unlikely to start for a little while.

      Difficult to say if he’d oust Walker

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

    Best midfield and forward combo for max £14.5m?

    Had been on Haller and Zaha but that was assuming Zaha would move to Everton... still fairly keen on Haller, but more difficult to find Zaha replacements.

    Pope (4.0)
    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko (4.0)
    Salah Sterling ___ Perez (Dendoncker)
    Wilson ___ (Greenwood)

    Cheers! 🙂

    My iPad hates this article!

    1. Lion-O

      My PC hates this article too, very jittery

    2. Royal5

      Awful updating

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The whole site has been doing a lot of weird things of late.

      The scaling on the articles the other day was all over the place.

      It's a big problem that we're working on as a top priority.

  18. Lion-O

    Sorry for RP, lost at bottom of previous page:
    Thoughts on this team please?

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Coleman
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Perez, Martial
    Wood, Wesley

    4m GK, Taylor, Guilbert, Wickham

  19. lfc6

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Finally made up mind and no more changes hopefully..got rid of sterling to find more balance.

    RMT

    Ryan (button)
    Digne robbo vvd kwp ( lund)
    Salah martial kdb perez ( hayden)
    King kane (wickham)

    0.5 itb to upgrade anything after 1st GW.

    Thoughts on this team please ?

    Pope
    Roboo digne Zinchenko maguire trent
    Salah sterling fraser
    jota Wilson

    Bench fodders

  22. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope

    Trenty Wan B Virgil Zinc

    Salah Sterling Perez Neves

    Kane King

    Rarely do a 442 but it's not the worst. Neves is gross but at least he'll be on a dead ball or two

    Not gona stick with it but gives nice options all over while we figure out that pesky 4th mid punty slot

  23. Buck The Trent

    Is Ryan Sessegnon a threat to KWP ? Asking for a friend

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      i dont think so. kwp is a right back and sessegnon is usually deployed on the left.

    2. Hint
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No but Aurier is

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

    3-4-3 with Martial or 4-3-3 with VVD? Already got Robertson and Shaw. Thanks.

  25. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Better option out of these?

    Moura or Fraser
    King or Jota or Deeney

    Cant get both Fraser & King as I already have Wilson

  26. Krisson

    Thoughts on my team?

    Pope, Heaton
    TAA, Laporte, Digne

    1. dorrian123

      I like it , not to sure about ings think Che Adams in no1 striker atm.

  27. JamTart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Coleman too risky not they have the new man at RB? May need to find the extra 0.5 for Digne now!

  28. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Luiz to Arsenal.

    Does this mean Luiz hates Lampard and loves London?

  29. Tshelby

    Would love some feedback on this draft

    Heaton, Button
    AWB, VvD, Digne, Diop, Montoya
    KdB, Trossard, Sterling, Salah, Dendoncker
    King, Vardy, Greenwood

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      looks good, 442. do Montoya & Diop rotate well? if not, Diop & Taylor do pretty well

    Help is needed please

    In your opinion who is the best 6.0 ST to have for the first few GWs and are they currently in your team or not?

    Any ideas would be welcomed
