      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        you have Kun so you are covered pretty good

      2. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This.

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 7 Years

      1FT? Jota to Barnes.

  2. Lav
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    VVd --> Soy + Greenwood --> Tammy. GTG if I do this?

    Pope
    Robbo Digne Diop
    Salah Sterling KDB McGinn

      Definitely. Who do you plan to captain?

      1. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Leaning towards Salah. Chelsea are awful at home so far, defense looks poor.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yep looks good

  3. The Overthinker

    Was expecting atleast one double rise this GW on wc

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ban

        Shouldn’t lol @ people

  4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ready 2 Rock? Hoping for a surprise return from Kelly after Cahill/Sakho’s aberrations vs. spurs

    Pope,
    TAA, Digne, Kelly
    Salah(c), Sterling, KDB, Son, Cantwell
    Pukki, Tammy
    (Button, Lundstram, Rico, Wickham)

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great Midfield

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers - If Sterling blanks I’d consider absorbing his 12.0 across Kelly & Wickham & going 3-4-3

        Steeling, Wickham, Kelly > Mount, Vardy, Soyboy etc

        Or even Ateeling > Mane & go for Liverpool forwards double up

        Need to see city first though

        1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Soyboy.. love it B-)

        2. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes
          He will come good for sure. Have stats & record from last 2 seasons speaking for him. Matter of time till he gets his scoring shoes back i guess.
          Having said that, i like the idea of Vardy as I'm almost certain to bring him in my team for gw 9

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If I dump Haller sometime I can get this team in 2-3 moves
      It looks good
      Also I never considered playing Kelly ahead of Lundstram ......

  5. Amey
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morning guys,
    What would you do with this team ??
    2 FT, 0.1m itb
    Pope Button
    Taa Digne Dunk Lundstram Rico
    Raz Mo KDB Mount* Cantwell
    Pukki Haller Barnes

    Was thinking about Dunk >> Soyuncu & rolling other FT. Will get Tammy for Barnes/Haller next gw according to performance of both

    Thank you !

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a sound plan - Soyboy looks a great value squad member

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes.
        Long term plan is downgrading Digne Mount to get Vardy i gw 9.
        I mean Soyuncu,Mings/Diop, Lundstram rotation for 2 spots in defense and front line of Pukki Tammy Vardy.
        Can upgrade Rico to another 4.5m Defender too within time.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah all roads lead to Vardy GW9 I think

          Maybe even GW7!

          1. Amey
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah
            Mount Tammy double up till gw 9 also great plan on paper.
            Cheers mate 🙂

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which pairing?

    1) Aurier, Barnes
    2) Ota, King

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      tough one, at this point maybe 2

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Feels like Siggy time is approaching soon

    If he could get one or two more blanks to give us a bit of time to accommodate him, plus he should be closer to 7.5 soon

  8. ludaslol
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    AMN TAA VVD Lundestram Soyuncu
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Dednocker
    King Pukki Greenwood

    2FT, 2.0 ITB

    I have no clue what to do here.. I know I have lots of options with 2.0 itb..
    What's ur first thoughts here? Get rid of who??

    Mount?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mount, King > Cantwell, Tammy maybe?

      1. ludaslol
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thnx for reply.
        Think like a waste doing King>tammy now as I think King has a better to score this gw

        But Yeah I kinda need a replacement for Mount

      2. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Selling Donkey instead of Mount also possible as he have 2m itb 😮

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      VvD Greenwood to 433

      1. ludaslol
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, not bad.. Haller? Tammy?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          May be Barnes this week n Tammy from next

  9. Eleven Hag
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any latest info on martial ?

  10. rodragon
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Will jota score this week?

    1. Sylas
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Please be on hold for a moment until I check my crystal ball.

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He better!

  11. The Wanton Trader
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Freshener up my team with a -8.

    Sterling, Ceballos and Kane >
    Mane, Son and Abraham.

    Pope
    VVD / Otamendi / Guilbert
    Richarlison / Mane(c) / KDB / Son
    Firmino / Pukki / Abraham

    Button / Lundstram / DougLuiz / Hanley

    It was time to be a bit more aggressive with my transfers I feel.

    Patience is not necessarily a virtue. 😉

    G2G....?? TY

    1. FPL Hitman
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I feel Kane to Auba might hv been enough. Feel one of Sterling/Kun needed against Watford.

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I probably could of quite easily got away without taking any hits this week, but I really think going forward they make my team stronger.
        Plan is to get Vardy in for Firmino when Leicester start their nice run and I will have Mane in my team for my Pool attack.
        I wanted to keep a Spurs attacker too.

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team and good moves imo Love that front line to bits.

      I'll be taking a similar aggressive move next week. We'll quite possibly have very similar teams come week 9

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks.
        I haven’t had a green arrow yet so decided to take a bit of a risk this week.
        I feel a lot happier taking Sterling out, who has done nothing for me, so I don’t have to suffer his eventual restings.
        It could backfire, but I love the look of my team going forward from this week. Ty

      1. Crazygopher
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        But sterling due a few. Just will he play

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not saying it will happen if benched. But previous seasons some of Sterling bench were 0 minutes
          Hoping this is the case if the is benched this weekend with VC on KDB

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Auba best of those for me

  13. Baltic Revolution
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years

    Play McGinn or Lund?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      McGinn

  16. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry repost.

    With the talk of Def not giving the points this season and to go cheaper. Is this a good move for -4?

    1FT & 0.2ITB

    Greenwood & TAA => Tammy & Guilbert

    Current team:

    Pope/Button
    Kelly/TAA/Matip/Lundy/Pieters
    Salah/Sterling/James/Mount/Cantwell
    Kun/Greenwood/Pukki

    Or just hold the transfer for this week?

    1. Crazygopher
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ask your self a question. How many points do you think green/taa will get and how many points do you think tam/guil will get Take -4 from tam/guil. And go with the most points.

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks.

        green/taa - more than likely 2 points

        tam/guil - if tam continues form 6+ for this combo

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

  17. Jinswick

    GW7: Dilva & Martinelli -> Cantwell & Abraham

  18. royals forever

    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one to play from

    Dendoncker (cry)
    Lundstram (eve)
    Soyuncu (TOT)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Coin flip. Probably one of the defenders and hope for a clean sheet. Söyüncü as he’s at home.

    2. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dendoncker

      Decent chance of a 3 pointer anyway

  19. llmja
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Captain
    A.Salah
    B.Sterling
    C.Son

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Grow some balls and go with C.

  20. arkom
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Otamendi 5,4£ or Walker 6£?

    Both nailed, right? Walkar have a slight better attacking potential?

    1. llmja
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ota

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very slight, I'd rather Ota + 0.6 than Walker.

      Only advantage of Walker is that he can be turned into Mendy more easily.

      You really want to sit on 2 liv df?

      1. SUPER MOKH

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Would depend on what you would want to upgrade in return. McGinn or Wickham I'd assume.

  25. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Haller(bou) > Tammy(BHA) for a hit?

    1. Christina.

  26. rodragon

    Jota to Barnes or jota+tielemans to pukki+buendia for -4?

    1. Rolls-Royce

      Latter.

    2. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
