    Bilva or Dilva?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dilva

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The one with no potential ban in horizon

    3. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dilva

  2. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which of the below do I need to look at replacing?

    1. Cantwell
    2 Westwood
    3. Barnes

    Best option of to bring for them?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Westwood IMO - not going to get you many points. Having both him and Cantwell either means your midifeld is a bit weak or you have some big hitters up top.

      1. damiang2233
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Have Salah, Son Mount in midfield and Ageuro and abraham up top

  3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Gtg and save? Or Maddison -> Martial?

    Pope
    TAA Lund Rico
    Mane KDB Maddison Mount
    Aguero (c) Vardy Abraham

    Button Cantwell Soy Pieters (1FT 0.3m itb)

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Save that - really strong team.

  4. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Would you start Rico or Montoya?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Montoya just

    2. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Rico by a mile

  5. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm probably not saying anything new but...

    I heard Rodri twinged a hammy in the CL. Surely this means Fernandinho will play in the pivot CDM role and Pep will start 2 recognised CB's in Stones and Otamendi?

    1. Ci Siamo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That would make sense

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think so which is why I’m very happy to KDB (c)

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

        Could be KDB and Gundogan as CDMs protecting Stones + Dino as CBs

        Nothing is sure at the moment, especially when an injury affects the free flow of the roulette

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah agree but happy to take this risk

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

      "Surely"

      Nope.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You would think so. But Gundogan could play there either esp vs easier opposition like Villa. Pep might rest Fern to avoid potential injury

  6. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Play Soy or Lund?

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

      Lundstram

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

    Long term:

    a) Jimenez
    b) Maddison

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

      Jimenez

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A of you think wolves get knocked out fast

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez for longer. There'll be many midfield options that you'll be chopping and changing. Not as many striker options in comparison.

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The one who takes shots inside the box

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What’s happened to you

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Change of outfit 🙂

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

    Heaton (Pope)
    Digne Lascelles Diop (Tomori) (Soyuncu)
    Salah KdB Son Mount (Stephens)
    C.Wilson Pukki Vardy

    Want to get rid of Son & Pukki. Both likely to fall tonight.

    0.3 ITB, 1 FT

    Should I take a hit?

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you can get Auba in id'd do that

  9. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to Mane?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think it is worth doing this now. Keep Salah for this one.

  10. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one

    A) Tomori Bur (A)
    B) Soy Sou (A)

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bench soy

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

      A. Your other 3 defenders must be unreal.

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Starting Lundstram and Robbo alongside one of the above

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe A, B and those 2?

          I'm starting Lundstram, TAA, Otamendi, Dunk and Lascelles. Benching Cantwell, Wesley, Hayden.

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

          Im starting the 2 above and having Lund 1st sub

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I made the mistake of benching Lundstram v Everton. Last sub, 12 point. A slight chance of attacking returns but Blades on 3 clean sheets in last 4, 2 of them away. I'll let autosubs bench him from now on.

  11. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm thinking Digne + Pukki --> Tomori + Abraham (2FT)?

    Pope
    VVD | Otamendi | Digne | Lundstram
    Salah | Sterling | KDB | Mount
    C.Wilson | Pukki

    Button | Cantwell | Rico | Greenwood [2ft + 0.4m]

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, nice moves

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Would you ditch Digne over Otamendi? Not a fan of either atm, but I feel I might hold onto Otamendi because of AVL and SOU. Rico / Cantwell is decent enough bench cover if he doesn't start.

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah exactly that - Ota’s got the fixtures, cheaper and adequate cover if he gets benched

          Would probably get rid after the next two though

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks - that is what was in my mind!

  12. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Tiemlans & Ayew for Westwood & Barnes for a -4? Worth it?

  13. PattBrofield
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    (A) Pukki to Jimenez

    Or

    (B) Pukki and Haller to 4.5 and Vardy

    (Current front 3 of pukki haller and tammy)

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

      What's your midfield?

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

        Salah Sterling KDB CHO Guendouzi

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

          Then a. Jimenez

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

            Thanks

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

    How do I get kdb / city attack in?

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    Mane Salah Mount Madds
    Abraham Vardy Wilson

    Cantwell, Kelly, Pieters. 1 ITB

    Madds, Wilson => kdb (c), 6.0M striker (-4)?

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

      You don’t need Mané and Salah.

      One, yes, but not both.

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

        Yeah, probably right. Was looking forward to a kind of differential with the double up, not sure now.

        Madds/ salah to dilva/kdb? (-4)?

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think that is the best way. Might be worth just going for a cheapo striker like Connolly to upgrade Kelly / Pieters next GW?

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

        I might go for pool double up and that is when pieters would go.

        Kind of like me 3 strikers to be playing...

        Could also do madds/ salah to dilva/kdb..

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Okay, makes sense. I'm not seen on losing both those two for Dilva.

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

    I was literally hovering over the button to transfer barnes to wood, then came on here to articles and saw he is doubtful. Then refreshed my FPL page and the flag popped up.

    Bullet dodged...do i hold Barnes or sell for maupay or ings?

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

      Sell, which one of the two to get in though?

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

      I'd be tempted to Maupay for the next 2 then switch over if Ings is still fit at that point anyways

  16. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Son > Sterling and
    TAA > Frederiks

    for free?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Trent?

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't want to ditch TAA if I owned him. Any other way?

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, other option is Salah

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

      Nah

  17. sailor x
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is Calum Chambers nailed to play?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looks that way for this week only. Bellerin very close to first team now it seems l. No idea why emery doesn’t get him in sooner he is exactly what makes his tactics tick

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      he should be for this week, and probably a few more weeks too since he's been one of Arsenal's better players recently, fwiw i brought him this week in as a few week punt for Guilbert who has horrible fixtures coming up

  18. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    2 FTs 0.1itb

      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling always (and always fail)

    2. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kdb for me. Have a feeling a rest is coming any game now for sterling

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Lamela to James/Traoré?

    Better option out of Alonso or Ricardo Pereira for next 5 gameweeks?

  27. Limbo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    There a general consensus over these?:

    Lundy + Tomo over Soy or Rico, right?

    + TAA
