    It on a WC, who’s the players you’d want to bring in the most?

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

      Your grav

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB, Auba and Son

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Arnold-Otamendi-Son-Salah-Kdb-kun-Abraham

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just Auba and son.

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just those who scored a brace in the last game

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        🙂

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB Son, Trent and Salah/Mane

  2. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best option (have two FTs)?

    A. Kane & Laporte > Agureo & 5.4 (Aurier maybe)
    B. Kane > Auba & Save
    C. Mount & Kane > KDB/Son & Abraham

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero and VErtonghen

  3. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I can’t help but think this is a decent wc team.

    Heaton. Button
    Digne. TAA. Lowton. Lundstram. Rico.
    Salah. Son. KDB. Cantwell. Heyden.
    Auba. Pukki. Abraham.
    0.0ITB

    Only concern is no sterling.

    1. dezille
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice looking team! I would be hiding behind the sofa every time City played though. What about Mane & Aguero instead of Salah & Auba? (Liv upcoming fixtures could warrant downgrading to Mane in the short-med term)

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Really good balance.

  4. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane & Greenwood for Son & Tammy -4

    (Don’t own Salah)

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nope nope nope

  5. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Most getting in Abraham I'm looking to get rid if he blanks be good rise in rank

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      For who

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

      Why would you get rid of an inform player? Have you seen his fixtures after Liverpool? You’ll only get a rise in ranks if your replacement performs. Who’s that?

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Weirdo lol

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You're looking to get rid if he blanks next game? Do you not like points or in form players or something?

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

    My WC team: (Mount benched due to injury)
    Pope
    VVD,Lundstram,Lowton
    Mane,Son,KDB,Cantwell
    Aguero,Pukki,Abraham

    Button,Soyuncu,Rico,Mount

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Decent team

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

      Prefer TAA to VVD

  7. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Guys are you keeping Mount ?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Already back in training

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Really???

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yep albeit light training but should only miss pool

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

      I’m on a WC, and I’ve got him on my bench. He should be fit after the Liverpool game. (Coming from a CFC fan)

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        nice. I have him from 6.2 and if it's not serious i would keep him. I have plan to WC from GW 7 anyway..

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

      If confirmed out I will punt for someone and get him back next week.

    4. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keeper for the moment

    5. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'll keep also. Great fixtures for Chelsea after Pool

  8. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which 4.5 to downgrade VVD to? Have Diop Lundstram

  9. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Rash + lanzini + Lloris to Barnes + Son + Pope - 4?
    Yes or no?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      wouldnt get Barnes

  10. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Ceballos > Son

    B) Dendoncker > Cantwell

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

  11. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lost on last page

    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!

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hold ft and do those moves next week! Good luck

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate!

  12. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bad move to wildcard in Mina or a good shout? Unfortunately can't afford the extra for Digne but I still like Mina as an option.

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

      Mina looks good (if you rate Everton defence)

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Feel like a 15 pointer is just around the corner. His goalscoring stats are crazy good. Also a potential placeholder for Tierney who I have a feeling I will want at some point.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      12 big chances conceded by Everton this season: only three teams, all of whom have faced Manchester City, have allowed more. The Toffees were the only club not to face a ‘big six’ side in Gameweeks 1-5 but only eight Premier League teams have conceded more goals than Marco Silva’s side.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Reality check, cheers for this.

  13. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gtg on wc guys?

    Pope
    Taa soyuncu rico
    Salah sterling (c) kdb son Cantwell
    Abraham Pukki

    Button lundstram Diop greenwood
    0.2itb

    Worries are no aguero or auba but guess I can’t have them all!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Liking your captain pick. Not listening to the scaremongering.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hoping he gets his rest in league cup!

  14. rjcv177
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling fund this combo. Wich is best?
    A) Kun and Cantwell
    B) Abraham and Son

    A gives me best C this gw
    B sorts my C next gw

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B is probably more points

  15. JammySprat
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking about dead-ending team for WC next Gameweek. Any punts people like this GW for 7.3m or below midfield? Can't see high scoring games this week.
    Considering Zaha, Maddison or Fraser

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maddison a nice differential I think

  16. KnightSlayer
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mount or Barnes ?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount if fit

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

      Ok i swapped David Silva & Barnes to Mount & Abraham. Just thought Burnley fixtures i should maybe of kept him.

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

      Mount

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount

  17. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of KWP starting?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Always a chance

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Was on bench last night but surely Aurier has more chance. Who knows though!

  18. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Kolasinac nailed?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Double hard but not nailed imo

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

        Who does he compete with at Arsenal

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Emery

        2. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Fair point actually now Monreal has gone

  19. dezille
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Just need some quick advice on bench options please!.

    A) Diop, Tomori, Hayden
    B) Otamendi, Rico, Nakamba

    A has 2, possibly 3 nailed players
    B has Otamendi but probably only 1 other nailed). On a WC so need flexibility going forwards really. Cheers

    A) 0.3 ITB
    Pope (Button)
    TAA Diop Soyuncu (Tomori, Lundstram)
    Mane Son KDB Cantwell (Hayden)
    Aguero (C) Abraham Pukki

    B) 0.0 ITB
    Pope (Button)
    TAA Otamendi Soyuncu (Rico, Lundstram)
    Mane Son KDB Cantwell (Nakamba)
    Aguero (C) Abraham Pukki

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    WTF do I do this week? 1 FT. 0.4 ITB.

    Pope
    VVD / TAA / Digne / Montoya
    Salah / Sterling / KDB / Cantwell
    Pukki / Barnes

    Button // Jota / Kelly / Dendoncker

    1) Play Montoya over Jota? (Y/N)
    2) Jota + Sterling >> Aguero + (6.7m?)
    3) Something else?

    I can't see which striker I'd want in long-term other than Aguero/Abraham, or perhaps Aubameyang. Wildcard seems better suited next GW.

    Simply sick of Jota & likely to lose value on him + Dendoncker in respect to Abraham/Aguero.

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it a bad thing to have TAA, Mane, Salah, KDB, Kun and Pukki in your squad?

    1. Twisted Melon
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

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

      Er.... No.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Is it stupid question time?!

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No but I’m guessing the rest of your side is weak

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

      TAA and Pukki are a must. One of Aguero or Sterling.

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      i dread to think what the rest of the squad is like

    7. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yes. You don't have Auba or Son

  22. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Forced into it

    Donks and Kane

    Son and King

    Done.

    1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Free trans.

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes.

        1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Obvs.

  23. Super Squirrel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Opinions on the chances of tomori playing this weekend?

    1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dunno but on WL.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I can give you my opinion on Chelsea conceding again this weekend and the weekend thereafter as well.

      1. Super Squirrel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        fair point.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He’s looked really good, by far Chelsea’s best defender

      Surely lamps will see that

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m considering him on wc and most people have told me he’s played well so don’t see why not

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

    WC team any good? 0.6 ITB

    Pope Button

    Digne Otamendi Soyuncu Tomori Rico

    Mane KDB Son Cantwell Dendoncker

    Aguero Abraham Pukki

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not bad, can you do tomori and mane to lundstram and salah?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        And you having a go at Mane Salah KDB Aguero and Pukki withe the above defence?

        Ha ha

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hey newbie

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Oh, I forgot TAA added to that list.

            1. Rhodes your boat
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Ok.

  25. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is cantwell a viable option as a 4th mid?
    Seems to good to be sitting in the bench

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If he’s to find elsewhere could work yes

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        *fund

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          It is. Flip vardy for auba in a couple b of weeks means I need to drop a 6.5 mid to a 4.5

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yup he is proper for a 4th mid

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers

  26. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Otamendi nailed for next 3-4 weeks while Stones and Laporte out? Planning Aarons to Otamendi so I can bench Mount.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Should be nailed there’s not really anybody else left to replace him

  27. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is there any news on Martial? Does Ole have a presser scheduled for tomorrow?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did you see him on the bench tonight?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Don't think he would have been on the bench whether he's going to be fit for the weekend or not

    2. rainy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Solskjaer spoke yesterday and made no mention of Martial. No clue on upcoming press schedule atm

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers Rainy, hopefully there's a presser tomorrow and all becomes clearer

  28. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    It is, possible upgrade of vardy to auba in a couple of weeks means dropping a 6.5 mid to a 4.5

  29. boroie
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A - Ceballos & Auba
    B - Son & Pukki

    1. Rhodes your boat
