    who to start, dendocker or greenwood?

    or get cantwell for (-4)?

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

      Would not start Greenwood, we know what happened last time lol. Luckily I didn't but he will be my 1st sub.

      But then again, would rather punt Greenwood over Dendo.

    WC Draft, is it foolish not getting Aub?!

    Pope | Button
    TAA | Aurier | Soy | Rico | Lund
    Mane | KDB | Son | Cantwell | Hayden
    Aguero | Pukki | Tammy

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not with that line-up - good to go, buddy.

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

      This is more or less identical to my wildcard team except I’ve got Mount and Maitland-Niles instead of TAA and Hayden.

      I also have the same worries about not having Auba.

      The only way I can see of getting him in though is downgrading Son to someone like Iwobi or Ceballos and upgrading Pukki to Auba.

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

      very nice mate
      goodluck

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

      i like it, but i just can't imagine a WC team with no Salah or Sterling

  3. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Keep Kane??

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

      kane -> auba (one week punt )

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No Kane and to Aubameyang abd keep.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No, get Aubameyang

    3. Raging wildcard
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think Kane is really bad value at the minute, but you never know when he'll post a big score

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

    adrian pope
    digne zinchenko soyouncu lundstram kelly
    salah sterling mcginn mount cantwell
    aguero pukki haller

    2FT and 0.1 itb

    A) haller-> abraham
    B) other suggestion

  5. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    This WC is so so tempting.

    Pope Button
    TAA Soyuncu Otamendi Lowton Lunstram
    Salah KDB Son Cantwell Dendoncker
    Aubameyang Pukki Abraham

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks tasty

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

      no sterling or aguero !!! this is weird for me
      will hurt u this week whatsoever 🙂

      get aguero mate with the armband

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

        salah-> mane
        auba -> aguero

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Salah is worth the extra and Aubameyang will keep up with Aguero

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

          Salah needs to be kept imo, but yes Auba > Aguero

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Armband is going on Aubameyang 100%, but I could go Salah to Sterling bank the 0.4m and then get Salah back.

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

          no get aguero this week instead of auba
          aguero will outscore him 🙂
          and after the end of the game will be waiting for u here to thank me for the advice 🙂

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks , but no thanks , cheers anyway.

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

              ok mate as u like
              but i'm kidding
              no offence plz

              anyway do what you want

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Actually looking into it now mate does look really good , but don't know if I can go without Salah.

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

              lol

        2. Fat Ronaldo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Shhh this is a secret..

      3. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree I'd have Aguero on WC.

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

          he took already his decision
          so i think no need for advice pal

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Double Burnley?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah great value in them , but could get Tomori

  6. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it stupid to have 2 free transfers and do nothing?

    2 FT here and my team:

    Pope (4.0)
    Arnold, Digne, Pieters (Lundstram, Kelly)
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Cantwell (Mount)
    Pukki, Haller, Barnes

    I have some ideas:

    A) do nothing

    1. T.Henry14
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      and next week Haller (7.4) ---> Abraham (7.4), to double Mount&Abraham for Chelsea's good fixtures.
      B) Kelly --> Rico maybe?
      C) Mount&Haller ---> 5M mid & C.Wilson, fee up money for Barnes --> Abraham next week, after that have Abraham for Chelsea cover and C. Wilson inestead of Haller, but ruining rotation with 5M mid and Cantwell.

      What would you do in this situation??

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kelly to Rico or Hanley.

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      D - Haller to Tammy this week. Have 2 FTs next week and Tammy already in before another prixe rise.

  7. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    GTG? Bench order right?

    Pope
    TAA Digne Lundstram
    Salah Sterling James Cantwell
    Aguero Haller Pukki

    Bench: Button, Mount, Mings, Soyuncu

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Great side - good to go. Who's your capitan?

      1. BlzE_94
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        kun

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          G2G

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

    Auba playing 90 mins today, does that put him at risk of reduced minutes over the weekend?

    1. Monya Meow Meow
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Who starts up fwd with Laca out?

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

        I said reduced not benched. It could be that Auba gets hooked off at around 70 min mark and Pepe plays up top or even Nelson.

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

      Can't see his minutes being managed much, Laca is out and Emery will be keen to bolster teams confidence & secure 3 points following last weekends draw. Goals breed confidence and Auba has been banging them in.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This.

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

    Greenwood Mount Zinc > Tammy Cantwell Tomori - 8?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not worth it.

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

    Which upgrade?

    A) VVD > TAA
    B) Dendoncker > Cantwell

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

      B

  11. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of doubling up on Salah + Mane and only KDB from City on my WC. Madness or could it work out?

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

      I'm doing the opposite. No Liverpool attackers and two City. Playing the fixtures, old habits die hard.

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

        Yep, I get your thinking mate. I think I'll go either boom or bust.

    2. FPL Joker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane and Salah are smashing it. Why not? No chance of being rested really

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've toyed with it and it's a toughie.

      But, I've settled on KDB and Kun (C) at home to Watford with Mane my Red Mid

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        But there's a compelling case for double Red mid so if you're feeling/thinking it don't let us put you off.

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

          Thanks Ser Davos, you shall now have the Lady in Red to yourself 😛

  12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    GTG?

    Ryan
    VVD Digne Lowton
    Sterling Salah McGinn Cantwell
    (K)un Tammy Pukki

    Bench: Lundstram Diop Dendo
    0 FT, 0.4 ITB

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like.. much like mine.

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

    Is Aurier nailed to start for the future then?

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

      Looks like it's his to lose right now

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

      Only this week. KWP and Foyth are back and Poche likes rotating fullbacks.

  14. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope 4.0
    TAA Digne Zinchenko Soyuncu Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount* Dendoncker
    Pukki Wood Greenwood
    2FT + 1.7m

    I want Abraham in but I'm concerned the timing is bad this week as it'd give me four players playing against each other in the Chelsea vs Liverpool game. Choose A or B please.

    A) Wood to Abraham now
    B) Wood to Wilson one week punt, then to Abraham next week (can easily do this with 2FT)

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd just go to Tammy now if you want to get him in. Something else will crop up next week. Rest of your team can cover Mount this week, just.

  15. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Waiting on Mount's fitness update.

    Really want to do Mane>Mount, Abraham>Aguero

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd keep Tammy

  16. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mount and Zinchenko the glaring issues. Mount --> Cantwell + £££? Or just save?

    Pope
    VVD | Digne | Zinchenko | Montoya
    Salah | Sterling | KDB | Mount
    C.Wilson | Pukki

    Button | Greenwood | Rico | Drinkwater [1FT + 0.8m ITB]

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

    Best defenders in the £4.4-£5.1m price range?

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

      I've just done alot of comparisons on fix and I'm leaning towards Masuaku, AMN, Lowton or Soyuncu for clean sheets

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

        AMN probably highest ceiling

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

    A - Martial & Auba
    B - Son & Pukki

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one but I'd prefer B at the moment.

  19. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Digne AWB
    Sterling Salah Cantwell KDB
    Pukki Barnes

    Thinking of WCing to:

    Pope
    Soyuncu TAA Digne
    Salah KDB Son Cantwell
    Abraham Aubameyang Pukki

    Yay or nay?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer your first team tbh. Not worth WC'ing to get that.

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

        Cheers. Capt Sterling?

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think both Raz and KDB play - Pep can't afford to drop more points in such games. Sterling (c) and KDB (vc) for me.

    2. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      My WC is looking similar except for Ota, Mane & Aguero for Digne, Salah & Auba. Its a Yay from me.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. 7 of your players are the same.

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

        Didn't see it that way. Probably sensible to resist. Cheers.

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

    Best keeper £4.6m or less?

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

      Pope

  21. Totally J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Pope Button
    TAA Otamendi Lowton Söyüncü Lund
    Mané KDB Sonny Cantwell Deondonkey
    Aubameyang Abraham Haller

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

      I'd have at least one of Salah or Sterling. And would have Pukki. Rest is fine.

  22. lifes a pitch
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best defender for £6.1, to play for next few games

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

      I think Otamendi is a good bet. Gets the odd goal too

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

    Why is there an outcry of doubling up on Salah Mane including KDB?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling not involved in many of City's recent goals and not as good as before int break. Played a lot of minutes recently. KDB 'rested' a bit last week, guaranteed started you'd think.

  24. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If I have another dire gw I'm going to wildcard. The fixture swings for Chelsea, Spurs & Leicster are too good to ignore imo.

    With this in mind I'm tempted to take a 1 week punt for one of my Liverpool defenders. Best bet?

    A. Otamendi

    B. Mina

    C. PVA

    D. Schar

    I'm edging towards Otamendi in the event my team dies really well and I no longer feel the need to wildcard 😆

  25. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Advice appreciated chaps! 1 FT, 0.2 ITB.

    Pope
    TAA, Zinchenko, Montoya
    Mane, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Kane, Pukki

    (Woodman, Lundstram, Soyuncu, Wickham)

    A) Kane & Sterling -> Aguero(c) & Son (-4)
    B) Kane -> Aubameyang
    C) Something else

    Considering A, not sure I trust Sterling/Mane/KDB/Kane with the armband and Aguero is looking irrestible!

    Cheers

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

      I'd do B in a heartbeat

  26. MikeLowrey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best Wesley upgrade:

    A) Wilson
    B) Tammy
    C) Haller
    D) Barnes

    This is for a FT. I still have my WC and will use it in a few weeks

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

      Wilson

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm the same. Can only afford D. Would go A

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

        Wilson was my first pick. Do you think VVD > 4.8 DEF or Martial > McGinn is the best way to fund it?

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

      easily Tammy

  27. lifes a pitch
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which one...
    A)Abraham
    B)Wilson

  28. mitro
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start Rico or Lundy?

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

      Lundstram

  29. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hmmm this has been made though for me now.

    A or B

    A) Aubameyang, Salah, Otamendi and Lowton
    B) Aguero, Mane, Vertongen and Guilbert

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

  30. COYS Down Under
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which one would you get on WC?
    A) Salah + Aubameyang
    B) Aguero + Mane

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think a but many also think b it is a 50/50 on here
