    Tierney straight in once he starts a league game for me....massive assist potential

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So you'll be relying on assists really for any form of points

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

        CRY/WOL/lei/Sou/nor/BHA

        There surely has to be 2 or 3 clean sheets in that run for Arsenal one would think.

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't be surprised if it will be 0

        2. 11 smelly shirts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          There should also be a clean sheat vs Vitoria Sports Club.....

        3. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Would've said that against SHU too

    2. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      sure, but when does Emery let him start and how often will he play. I don't want to have a 5.4 defender who doesn't play more often than a City defender

    3. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He is a rotation treat and arsenal are so bad in defence. Also reasonably exspensive so wouldnt see him as a great option

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

    First

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Unlucky

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

        Can’t win them all

    2. Revival

      😀

  3. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Almost unbelievable how shite Arsenal and United are.

  4. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Can anyone offer any transfer advice? Who should I prioritise on shipping out?

    2FT 2.5m

    Pope Button
    TAA Robertson Tomori Soyuncu Lundstram
    Sterling Dilva Mount Jorginho Cantwell
    Vardy Aubameyang Pukki

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Just silva to de bruyne

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I'm 0.1 off of that move unfortunately

        1. Andre_The_Giant
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Find the money. KDB essential. Move Cantwell to Dendonkey

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Silva for sure upgrade jorginho

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Jorginho to Martial?

  5. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA Soyunchu Tomori
    Salah Sterling Mount McGinn
    Abraham Wilson Vardy

    Subs Button Lundstram Zinchenko Dendeoncker

    2FT...£0.3m ITB

    A Zinchenko to Lowton
    B Zinchenko to Schar
    C Zinchenko to Boly

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

      Schar is injured, or at least he is orange flagged. I would get Boly.

  6. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling or aguero?

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling

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

      Razza

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling

  7. Hitmonlee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    The Sterling vs KDB captain is going to do my head in right till the deadline tomorrow night! Haha

    What’s the consensus?

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Refer to the poll that’s the preference

    2. Andre_The_Giant
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Same dilemma. KDB probably safer but Sterling higher ceiling but also higher risk.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kun 😉

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling and pray he starts.

  8. Dele
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Auba + Dendoncker >> Connolly + KDB for a hit?

    Yay or nah

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes from me

  9. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Roberto
    Boly Ota Pereira
    KDB(VC) Sterling(C) Mount Madisson
    Vardy Abraham Wilson

    Gazza Traoré Lundstram Rico

    1FT, 2.1ITB, GTG?
    Any suggestions Captain and bench choices please?

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Best option to play between

    A Söyüncü (sou)
    B Diop (SHU)

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

  11. _Gunner

    How did Martial look today?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good looking fella, nice hair, black boots in matching shorts and top.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bored.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A bit rusty but at the same time an oop gem.

  12. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Best 6.3 or lower midfielder next 3 only
    A) Tielemans
    B) lanzini
    C) james
    D) other

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      CHO?

  13. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What are the chances of Aguero starting this week?
    Seriously thinking of dropping him for Jimenez and and getting Sterling in place of Salah (will bring in Mane next week)?
    Your comments much appreciated.

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Put down that drink, stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking and move away from the key board nice and slowly with your arms in the air........go to bed till 7.01 tomorrow night.............

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Usually starts home games and does well. I’d keep this week and get Raheem too

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Madness imo

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not a fan of that idea I'm afraid. I'm thinking about bringing Kun in....for a hit.

    5. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kun played 90 mins Tuesday, Jesus rested, low-threat opponent, I think better-than-even odds Kun will be on bench.
      Way too expensive to risk that again.

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

        I think Kun starts v Villa and Sou with Jesus playing cup match inbetween but it's all a guessing game.

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Chances are slim I’m afraid

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

            Why do you think that ?

            1. ‘Tis the Season
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Jesus fully rested from midweek

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He’s definitely DBDS surely.

        I’m capping him because I need the potential reward for the high risk!

    6. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve got him and capping him!

    7. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks guys. Appreciate the comment about Aguero playing nearly all home games. Useful info.

    8. Daniel100Maerkl
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Since when can a professional footballer not play a game on a Wednesday and then the weekend. Come on guys, look at the stats over peps reign and stop the fear mongering. He is and will be peps number 1. If you have Aguero captain him and move on, end of story

  14. SweepaKeepa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Martial so divisive in the comments.
    #9 OOP for a Top 6 club with a run of good fixtures averaging over 6 points a game?
    Injury-prone, not-nailed, poor player for a club in its worst form this century?
    Think I’m going to gamble. Foolish or fearless?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Foolish or fearless? No, both 🙂

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

        Cool. Win win.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Top 6 club? Ehh don't think it'd finish in the top 6 at the end of the season

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

        Not even now Martial’s fit again?

    3. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      risk reward kinda thing. He can go on streaks and think he will do good in the 9 role, but he is prone to injury. Would also maybe wait one week, since Ole might ease him into the team to avoid another injury

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

        That’s an intelligent well balanced appraisal.
        What are you doing here?

        1. Deeney-is-a-god
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          just wasting some time waiting for deeney to get fit again...

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

      *Bottom 10 team.

  15. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Have to make the decision tonight!

    A) Martial (Oop, £) + Lacazette (Vs)
    OR
    B) David Silva (A, Rest) + Rashford (Pen)

    Leaning towards A currently

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

      Not convinced from either tbh

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        If you had to choose one?

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

          just looking at the next GW and considering that Silva didn't play during the week I'd go for B, but listen to your guf feeling tonight I'd say

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B are in form and currently more assured of starts.

  16. 11 smelly shirts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone with a guess about Sterlings chances to play on Saturday? He played 3 games in a row 90 minutes plus for England during the IB. If he would't have been so incredible vs Atlanta I would say he will be on the bench.
    What are your thoughts?

    1. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pep said he can play one game today and be ready to play 90 tomorrow. When he says thing like that its usually bench. Cant decide to cap him or not.

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

        I'm seriously thinking to downgrade him to KdB, but that could go terribly wrong

  17. Fletch365
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Any help here guys? got 2FT

    Considering Pukki - Jimi?

    Pope
    TAA | Otamendi | Tomori
    Sterling | Salah | KDB | Mount
    Tammy | Pukki | King

    Subs: Cantwell | Lundstram | Guilbert | Button

    1. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think Vardy is the man you're looking for..

    2. andres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That attack doesnt look like goals..

  18. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    PL gurus, please help!

    Who will start, considering statistics, history and Pep-philosophy..??

    a) Aguero (90 mins and 2 goals against Atalanta)
    b) Jesus

    Yes, i´m the one who owns Aguero... Do you ever had such ridiculous and drastic choice between captaining vs replacing player with another (Aubameyang). Just wow 😀

  19. Ycfc
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Best striker under 6.6mil? Swaying towards Ings at the moment

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay imo

  20. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How many hits ya taken?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      about to take a -8 or -12

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Crazy. -4 this season is like a -12 in previous.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          not when you have nothing to lose and season is wrote off and a comedy it isn't 😉

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          and -4's are nothing like -12's, in whatever season.

  21. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Do we think CHO will start this weekend?

    Desperately need a replacement for Cantwell

  22. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Have the money to do Salah to Sterling, already have KDB and Ota. Don’t have any Liverpool if I get rid of Salah. Would be greatly appreciated thanksgiving

    1. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t do that imo

  23. Alberto Tomba
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Best Mina replacement for £6.5 to fit in with:

    Ali
    Soyuncu X Tomori Pereira (Lundstram)

    ?
    Chambers and Maguire's fixtures lend me towards them, any thoughts?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Find the extra 0.5 for TAA/ Robbo

      Alonso an ‘interesting’ option.

      United haven’t scored from a set piece in a ridiculously long time. Maguire isn’t great for bps so is basically a max 6 points player

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers but I'm not sure my heart will survive an LFC defender, especially with our fixtures and club world cup coming up.

  24. ‘Tis the Season
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    KDB essential for GW10. If you don’t have him boys and gals, find a way!

  25. Olivier Bernards watch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    what's with all these auba sellers? 7 goals in 9 games so far with 6 excellent fixtures coming up...i've just taken a hit to get him in

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Most are ditching to bring in KDB imo

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        And plays out wide now that laca is back

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He blanked last week

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        and the week before that

    3. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He was my cup holder for Aguero from gw1 and KDB my holder for son. Still own both now

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A hit to bring him in?! That's brave i gotta say.
      I was set on keeping Auba, but Arsenal look dreadful at the moment and auba is hardly hauling. I'm getting rid for a hit later.

  26. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    People think Martial was taken off to be rested for Norwich? Don't you think he just may have been taken off because he's hardly played in about 6 or 7 weeks ? And UTD ain't changing the team that nearly beat Liverpool at the weekend . Is he going to really play over 150 mins in 3 days ?

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

      I think he will start vs Norwich as United need him but i will be surprised if he gets past 60 min.

  27. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ings or Maupay?

    1. sandman58

      Ings...on pens

  28. shearer9
