      B looks great imo.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Martial to Son

    3. Wiseguy

    Remember the simple days when we all owned Aguero and captained him every week? Didn't have to worry about which 2-3 10m+ assets to own.

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

      🙁

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

      If you had of done the same this season you would have had a very strong start 🙂

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

      Or Tevez, RvP, Drogba, Fabregas plus many more FPL legends.

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

    Remember when Villa won at Arsenal at the start of the 13-14 season?

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

      Yep. I was 29th in the world at the end of that GW. Captained Benteke

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Some of us remember when you supported Utd!

                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  50/1 to get relegated.
                  I'm on.

                  1. IRBOX ⚽
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Relegated from Europa League? You’re throwing away money there

                    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 7 months ago

                      Sorry, but I find your team mighty uninspiring, and Iwobii and Delph won't save you getting sucked down into the scraps.

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

                        He’ll come back to Utd before the season’s over

      2. Top Lad Dakes.

          Cheers mate!

  4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Hanley nailed?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Does it matter? Norwich won’t keep any clean sheets

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Need a replacement for Kelly on bench. Was going Rico but didn't realise he would rise so soon

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

    KDB likely to go up tonight?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

      Unlikely.

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to tell, but since this season prices changes quickly it can be. But currently it seems that maybe Kun will rise tonight

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

      I think he go up tomorrow night

  6. muc1999
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would mount+cebellos to son+hayden be wise this week. 2 ft

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

      If not playing Hayden then yeah.

      1. muc1999
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers.afraid it's him dend or lund

  7. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Planning to probably WCnext week so who do you think are the best punts for this gw?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kun

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

    Best 4.4 M defender than is most nailed

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

      Guilbert

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

      Guilbert seems nailed- his place to lose to ElMo

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

      Lundstram

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Have Guilbert and planning to keep him, he looks really good.

  9. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Pukki over Mane, Sterling or Kdb too crazy of move?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's only crazy if you don't actually think he will be the highest scorer of those.

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If I knew all 4 were almost guaranteed to play then I most likely wouldn't captain Pukki but with Sterling having played a lot of minutes, KDBs minutes being managed in case of injury and Mane having a tougher fixture I'm tempted by it

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

          Chelsea love conceding goals, with City starters up in the air I'll either be going with a Liverpool player or something fun like Digne.

  10. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Isn't Pépé Le Pew a Skunk?

    Stinks.

  11. Pachi
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kdb or son?
    For the next 3 games only

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

      Kev

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Haller to Tammy in free tonight or hold transfer for 2 going into week 7?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hold

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

      “Hold the line”

  13. Viper

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Solskjaer talking up Greenwood's role this season

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/49764263?__twitter_impression=true

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

      He said the same preseason

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

    Really strongly considering Masuaku, has anyone watched him play and can give me a rundown? I know he's suspended yes.

  15. ZAWAd25
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gtg? Any hits needed?

    Pope
    Digne VVD Zinchenko
    Mane Sterling(c) KDB Son Cantwell
    Abraham Pukki

    Lundstram Greenwood Kelly

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

      No. Very nice team.

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

      Anyway concerned on Sterling minutes?

      1. ZAWAd25
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        A little bit, but hoping pep will play he’s strongest team after that Norwich loss

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

    Is dendo going to drop tonight?

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

      Looks very close on FPL statistics

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like it.

  17. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Have I got this team / bench right for this week?

    Pope
    Digne. Montoya. VVD.
    Salah. KDB (v) Cantwell. McGinn.
    Aguero (c). Wilson. Pukki.

    Button. Mount. Rico. Ming’s.

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How come Rico has rose so quickly? Only played 2 games lol

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

      Has played and people need a cheap defender

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is Hanley as good as option? Played more games than Rico

  19. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    WC activated, currently on this:

    Pope - Button
    Robbo - Digne - Soyuncu - Lundstram - Rico
    Mane - KDB - Mount - Lamela - Cantwell
    Aguero - Pukki - Tammy

    Still tinkering but any help would be much appreciated. Trying to catch rises all week and dealing with any injuries from Europe's matches.

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

      This is the team I wish I had - think a point being made now is how playable Cantwell is, so maybe downgrade Lamela / Mount and upgrade Rico? Problem with 5 mids and 3 strikers is you'll have to bench one every week and it'll be a headache.

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

    Anyone sharp on price changes

    ?

    Dendonker and Aguero are coming in for me ...

    Either rising or dropping?

    Donkers looking like a fall tonight and Aguero a rise tonight but possibly tomorrow ... would ideally let Donkers fall then make my move saving me 0.1M

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t think Kun will. (97.7)

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

        Risky ain’t it ...

        Can just go Aguero and Hayden ...

        Would have been nice to bank the £0.1M with Dendonker tomorrow though

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

        Ye I checked that and fix

  21. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I dont see anyone good enough to replace Mount for that price, can i survive this week with this bench and save ft. Still have wild card.

    Pope
    Robertson, Coleman, Zincenko
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell
    Aguero, Barnes, Pukki

    Lundstram, Dendoker, Kelly

    1. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sure... Lundy will play and maybe even get lucky...

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

    What time approximately do price changes happen ?

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

      2.15am

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

        Oh ffsake ... need to make a decision, cheers for that

  23. Ando
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling ➡ Salah

    Am I mad?

    I have Mane and Aguero too.

    I can see Sterling getting a rest this weekend and have a feeling Salah will tear Chelsea's terrible defence apart on the break.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would

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

      I’m doing Sterling out Aguero in with 2FT’s I think

      1. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Which mid in for Sterling out of interest?

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

          Hayden or possibly Dendonker... I’m tracking him as he looks like dropping! Problem is Aguero is close to rising ...

      2. Ando
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sounds good

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

      can't see sterling being rested, but i'd want both him and salah

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

        Fair enough. I just think Sterling has played a lot of minutes recently and it's affecting him.

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

          The Pro is Aguero's numbers the last few weeks have been much better than Sterling's, more shots in the box etc.

          The Con is if I learned anything last season is Sterling might sit out one game, everyone will get annoyed, and then the following 3 weeks Sterling will post three double digit hauls.

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

    Dendo to Cantwell for free as cover for Mount or play Lund?

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dendonker could drop tonight.

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

      100% good move

    3. Old and Slow
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      100%

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

      Bring in Cantwell

  25. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton
    Taa mina zinchenko
    Salah kdb sterling(c) mount cantwell
    Haller wilson
    Gtg?
    If not how to use my ft(0.1m itb)

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

      Depends on bench, doubt Mount plays.

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

    On WC. Which looks best?

    A) Digne, Soy, Mane, Sterling, Haller
    B) Aurier, Soy, Mane, Son, Auba
    C) Digne, Ota, Salah, Son, Haller + 0.8 ITB

    Have KDB, Pukki, Tammy, Mount, TAA and Cantwell in all. Currently on A but bit worried by Sterling's form, would rather have Salah over Mane (but still happy enough with Mane) and Arsenal's fixtures are crazy good.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is this WC team too differential? I am 1m ranked right now so I want a good mix of swords and shields:

    3-4-3

    Leno - Button
    TAA Digne Aurier - Lundstram Rico
    Son Sterling KDB Cantwell - Lansbury
    Abraham Aubam Pukki

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

      Apart from Leno and Lansbury it looks pretty standard

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

        This

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

        Although no Liverpool attack would worry me

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

          didn't even botice that, yeah that's a big issue with no pool attack

        2. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Honestly, I’m happy with my captains being Son, Sterling and Auba for the next 10 GWs

      3. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is Leno a bad choice?

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

      waht's differential about that team?

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

        what's*

  29. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best attackers on WC?
    1) Salah, KDB, Mount // Tammy, 6.4
    2) Son, Mane, Mount // Auba, Greenwood
    3) Salah, KDB, Lamela // Tammy, Barnes
    4) Son, Mane, KDB // Tammy, Greenwood

    Already have Trent, Raz, Cantwell, Pukki. Numbers 1 and 3 have bolstered defenses, fwiw.
