    LAPORTE Robbo TAA Digne
    TROSSARD Sterling Salah Mount
    Pukki Haller
    (4.0 Greenwood Dendoncker Rico)

    a) Laporte, Robbo & Trossard > Otamendi, Aurier & KDB (-4)
    b) Laporte, Robbo & Trossard > Otamemdi, Soyuncu & KDB (-4)

    (B leaves enough in the bank for Dendoncker > Cantwell next week)

      What on earth is Laporte still doing in your squad?

        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It was my birthday last weekend, I was hungover and missed the deadline...

        On the plus side it meant not taking a hit (and wasting it on Dilva) and Rico came off my bench. Got very lucky!

    2. diesel001

    3. Ask Yourself

      Top scoring defender you have missed a lot

    4. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It's a trap

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Casual logic. Who's that guy scoring in the defender column? 🙂
      More successful than most of us I expect!

    Kane to Tammy done. How to free up 3.7mil. Hope I won’t regret this one!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe not the week to do it but I think it’ll pay off long term

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I see your point, but wanted to catch the price rise

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It was probably for the best

    3. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You will Abraham won't score I own will be getting rid

  5. Talkaboutluck
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone here think a Sterling -> Son worth a switch this GW. Have Aguero up front in attack.

    On the fence on how much playing time he will get after consecutive 90mins run outs. Although perfectly aware he just needs 1 min to score a goal off the bench.

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Scary move

    2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering 1 of Salah/Sterling of for Auba ... I have Aguero too

  6. Nice to Finally Michu

    Bottomed:
    Thinking about saving the FT here. Is that the right call?

    Heaton (Button)
    TAA Montoya Rico (Hanley Diop)
    Salah Sterling Mount Iwobi (Dendoncker)
    Aguero Haller King

  11. davies

    A) VVD Cantwell
    B) TAA Dendoncker

    1. zdrojo187

      A

    Thoughts?

    Pope
    TAA Digne Soyuncu Lunds Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell Mount
    Haller Pukki Barnes

  14. Ciarant20
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys quick one. What’s the best sub 5mil midfielder other then Cantwell?
    A - Douglas Luiz
    B - Cleverly
    C - Noble
    D - Mctominay
    E - Other (please suggest)

  15. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    KDB or Son?

    1. KNOW IT ALL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      good question

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB without a doubt.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The one who has a history of making 200 points

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why not both

    5. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      There are better City options but Son is the best Spurs option and best captaincy option for GW7, so Son.

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        But if you can get both in somehow, that's even better of course

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think Ill try to get in both soonish. 2 FTs next gw

    7. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer Son + Sterling more goals..

  16. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I just used 1FT to do Dendo > Cantwell

    Save the other FT or anything else needed?
    TAA is calling me over VVD but it would mean a hit and losing Zinch or AWB

    1FT 0.1itb
    Heaton
    VVD, Zinch, Digne, AWB
    Salah (C), Sterling, KDB, Cantwell
    Pukki, Haller
    (Button) (Lunds, Mount, Greenwood)

    Cheers!

  17. FOO FIGHTER

    Oh look, Martial not on the UTD bench tonight.

    Happy holding on lol.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      Preferred you without a grav it almost made me take you seriously

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I eat beef. Your grav is looking tasty.

          • 14 Years

          Delmonico steak is a beautiful cut

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            So glad i’m Not a psychopath anymore

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              You’re being delusional, I’d just eat it if you’re that scared 🙂

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No Pogba as well.

  18. HVT
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Rashy (just played 90mins) -> Tammy before price rise tonight??

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      yup

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Make it so

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Seems he wasted numerous chances too, god be with the days when United has an actual striker...
        🙁

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          If they could find a young Schmeichel, Ferdinand, Keane, Scholes and Rudd/CR7 they’d be right back up there

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            It’s depressing at this stage, I’ve lost all hope really. I get the appointment of Ole after failing with established managers (ok Moyes!), personally I was against OGS, he’s a good man but United need something more.
            I read recently how SAF pondered if Sheringham could handle wearing the United jersey and the expectation that goes with it, some players, possibly too many for too long have tipped the scales the other way.
            The decline is rapid now, mediocrity beckons for the distant future, the club might believe it has a vision, even leadership.
            It hasn’t and until it reinvents, remotivates and repassionates itself-the sorry saga of the once ‘mighty club’ will continue.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like Tammy is rising tonight. Those who plan to catch the price rise act now.

    And I think that Liverpool defense isn't unbreakable

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Even VVD is starting to look shaky playing in front of Adrian

      There’s goals in them thar hills!

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kdb or son rising ?

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Son already rose - miles off rising again. KDB at 89% so not tonight

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm sat up waiting to make the call on Rashford -> Abe... would like to catch the rise if its happening

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Look at my text above, I think it’s time to let Rashy go mate.

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Fack it. In the interest of an early night, this is all the persuasion i need.

        2. Link
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I was really planning on giving Rash at least 1 more against Hammers. Defo worth the switch? Was he that bad tonight?

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

            He always scores vs WHam

  20. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any views on what to do here please?

    Pope
    Vvd digne rico (soy guilbert)

  21. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    not sure if its just boredom but is Auba worth removing a Salah/Sterling for.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling yes

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  22. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    For the next few weeks who would you prefer;

    A} vardy + mount + Cantwell as 5th mid
    B} auba/aguero + 4.5 mid + Cantwell as 4th mid

    Seems like A to me, better all round?

    1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

        I should've added that it's for next week.
        Still the same?

        1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Auba/aguero both have poor fixture if you're thinking of captaining .... have you got salah... he'll be a decent captain next week

          1. Soto Ayam
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah got sals

            1. Soto Ayam
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              And im leaning towards auba rather than aguero also. You think cantwell is reliable as the 4th mid?

            2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              well I hv aguero and considering add Auba too so 'I'm sold on that combo. so yeah go for it
