    Any news on Cantwell? Saw something a few days ago saying he may have tweaked his hamstring

      He isn’t flagged- forget about it

        As if FPL are some official source of injury news

          FPL flag when it’s official

      Still only one random fella that tweeted it is the only mention of the phantom injury so far.

    Best option here with 1ft and 1m

    Heaton — Pope
    Taa, Digne, Zincheko — Tomori Rico
    KDB, Sterling, James, Cantwell — Docker
    Kane, Tammy, Pukki

    Kdb/cantwell >> Mahrez/Mount (-4)?

    Sorry, bottomed! Last 2 players I've brought in have been sent off so looking for an improvement on that this week...

    1FT, 1.5 ITB

    Pope
    Zinch. Maitland. Lundstram
    Salah. Sterling. KDB. Mount. Cantwell
    Haller. Pukki

    Button. Jota. Montoya. Aurier

    A) Jota > Abraham
    B) Zinch > Ota
    C) both for -4
    D) something else

    1. antis0cial

      A

    No way I’m using my FT this week when it’s intl break after this GW!

      Wise decision...

  5. mrtapio
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Would this be a good team (3-5-2)?

    Pope
    TAA l Lundstram l Tomori
    Mané l Sterling l KDB l Mount l Yarmolenko
    Auba l Tammy

    McGovern, Kelly, Rico, Greenwood

    1. Jam0sh

      Yes

  6. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which one you'd ditch first:

    A) King
    B) Pukki

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      King

    2. mrtapio
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      King. Think he is the better player tho, but rarely seems to play up to his potential.

      Would keep Pukki just because scoring goals seems to come easy to him

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. I think King has actually overachieved his recent potential in the last few matches. Playing on the wing and still has been even bigger threat than Wilson. Making the most out of the chances he has got. If Fraser can get back in the starting 11 King could be pushed forward to partner Wilson. Pukki stats much more appealing though but Norwich away form somewhat worrying. Feels quite close but probably King still the one to go now.

    Can I save the FT?
    Is starting Kelly over Tomori an option given Sou home scoring record and Che dismal CS record?

    Heaton

    Otamendi Tomori Lundstram

    Sterling KDB Mane Son

    Pukki Haller Abraham

    McGovern Cantwell Kelly Soyuncu

  8. Neo-Viper

    KDB to Mahrez for free.

    Or do i hold it to below :
    Have Periera as my first sub(Liverpool away).

    KDB to Mahrez for free?
    Bought him at 9.8 and earn 0.1. KDB might drop on international break. Also BSilva banned news makes Mahrez will get more minutes right?

    1. TreborGrebtsev
      • 4 Years

      Why would he drop during the break? If anything the break should mean he doesn't miss more than the Wolves game.

        People selling him for one week punts.

    Any news on Matip ?

  12. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A) KDB,Greenwood > Yarm,Vardy
    B) Aguero,Dend > Yarm,Aubam

  13. Pringle

    Good morning all. What do you prefer of these two options?

    A. Salah + Cresswell
    B. Son + Robertson
