    Jimi smiling ear to ear when the reporter suggested that the manager will put him ahead of Neves for spot kicks in future.

    love it 😀

      He WANTS it sir.

  2. Bumbaclot

    Ultimate question. Tielmans or Maddison and why??

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

      Maddison, points.

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        There is no real clear indication that Maddison will significantly outscore Tiel. And to the tune of almost £1m?

    2. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Consensus is they are lineball. Maddi on set pieces with Tiel perhaps more attacking. Risk V consistency perhaps?

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The one on free kicks & corners, reminds me of Beckham.

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

      Tiele

    5. Jason M
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I have both (no Vardy) having taken Dilva out for Tielemans this week. Got a feeling both can produce against a lucklustre Arsenal and the fixtures after the IB are just delightful! Points aplenty for each I'm hoping

    6. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison was frustrating to own last year, and is a little too much to get to from Cantwell, so went Tielemans.. Both look awesome..

    7. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Get Madison and you'll likely always be thinking what you could have done with almost a million in your pocket

      And Tielemens is as nailed as nailed can be.

    Aguero owners
    Keeping or selling?

    1. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sold

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

      sold for vardy

    3. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sold for Vardy

    4. clempro
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Still unsure, but will probably sell for Jimenez. I can't stand the rotation risk anymore, and Jimmy's got a great fixture this weekend

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

        Why Jimenez and not:
        Auba
        Kane
        Rashford
        ?

        1. clempro
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Better form I think

          1. clempro
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            And the extra cash will also allow to get double liv defence next week

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

              Im thinking about Kun + Yarmolenko to Maddison & Rashford

              And next GW can do:
              Tomori -> Robbo (for the double defense)

              WDYT?

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

                Can also be Rashford to Kane for the Derby captain

              2. clempro
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah looks good too. Not sold on ManU assets just yet, need to assess a bit more before jumping on the bandwagon. And if I do I'll probably go for Martial, happy with Vardy Abraham Jimenez as front 3

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

    Should I do Cantwell to a 7.3 mid, or save FT for more flexibility over the international break?

    Ederson
    TAA Tomori Soyuncu Lundstram
    Sterling KDB Martial Mount
    Vardy Tammy

    McGovern Cantwell Lowton Greenwood

    1ft £2.3m itb

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

      Roll

    2. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ederson injured????

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nah just mind games.

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

      gk problems

    4. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison?

    5. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cantwell to tielmans

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

      Roll, then Sterling to Mane week after

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Keep sterling, get rid of Kdb for Mane

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

        Definitely remove sterling for Mane

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

    Thoughts on this WC squad?

    Gazzaniga
    TAA Willems Robertson
    Mane KDB Maddison Pulisic Martial
    Abraham Vardy

    Button Lundstram Rico Greenwood

    1. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Very good

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nice. Double LFC v City is a bit dodgy.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Defence*

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

          Would be hoping for attacking returns!

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nice, have 10 of those already 😉

    4. Jason M
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic a bit too much of a rotation risk for me, how about Tielemans. Gives you triple Leicester but for upcoming fixtures, possibly worth it?

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

        Thanks will look at that

  6. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Safe to bring Jimenez in now? Didn't get a chance to see the game

    1. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, perhaps on Pens too now

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Perfect cheers

  7. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Martial (C) let's go. Thinking about him or Firmino. I dont have Mane or Vardy unfortunately.

    1. WWF
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Solid choice

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        thx

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      lol a United player as captain.

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

        The mind boggles, and no vardy or mane, wow.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I will bring Mane/Salah in GW 14

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

            ahh ok

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm desperate and i'm chasing

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully it works out. The only issue being united are trash

  8. Stokelona
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gaz
    TAA - Azpilicueta - Perreira - Mendy
    Sterling - KDB - Mount
    Jiminez - Aubameyang - Tammy

    McGovern - Dendonker - Nakamba - Reid 2FT’s

    Got problems here with Mendy, Mount being a doubt, KDB playing deeper and even Azpi’s place under threat from Reece James. Bench is total fodder Really want to punt on Son. Thinking of doing KDB and Mendy to Son (c) and Lundstram (leaving funds for Azpi to Robbo next week). Any help?

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

      Sterling has 4YC's too. Wouldn't surprise me if he picked one up against Liv (A) or Che (H).

      I own both and more tempted to ditch Sterling of the two.

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

        As soon as he gets 5 he's mane in my team

      2. Stokelona
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I didn’t know that, suppose it’s an easy switch to Salah or Mane. I think I may need to take my first hit of the season soon!

  9. dshv
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Lund - Robbo - Rico
    Sterling - mount - Mane - Mcginn
    Auba - tammy - vardy(c)

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

    What's all this talk of Ritchie affecting Willems place?

    Planned on briging him in over the break, or maybe just Lascelles instead?

  17. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Transfers made:

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Tomori
    Mané KDB Martial (c) Maddison

    McG Mount Rico Hanley

    1. Zladan

      Xfer next week is Hanley to Robertson.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nice transfer but looks a benching headache to me!

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Good team, same Xfer Robbo as well.

  18. MiechuPL
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Jimenez and Saiss
    or
    Jota and Jonny?

    1. Super Squirrel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why double wolves? Either way i'd pick the first two.

      1. MiechuPL
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I was thinking about defenders with good fixture and Wolves sounds good.
        Maybe ManU/Spurs/Watford too.

  19. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Martial or jimenez?

    1. tyron
      • 8 Years

      Martial

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

        Why?

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Jimi for me but looking at martial also

    3. Bumbaclot
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Jiminez Proven goal scorer and hit form. Good fixtures

      1. WWF
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This

  20. tyron
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic to start out of 10?

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

      9 esp if Mount out 🙁

      1. tyron
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mount trained so doubt he's out plus england call up

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

      8

    3. Niho992

  21. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Chilwell Rico Lundstram Robertson
    Mount KDB Sterling Salah
    Vardy Abraham

    Button Soyuncu Dendoncker Greenwood

    1 FT, 0.3 ITB

    1. Salah >> Mane
    2. Robertson >> TAA
    3. Pope >> Ramsdale
    4. Save

    Thanks.

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

      Solid side - I'd just save - 2 and 3 not necessary. 1 if anytihng

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

    1FT 6.1m ITB. Connolly to Jimenez and call it G2G for now? Leaves 3.5m ITB for some flexibility

    Pope (McGovern)
    TAA Lundstram Rico (Soyuncu Kelly)
    Mane KDB Mount** Maddison (Dendoncker)
    Vardy Abraham Connolly*

    Alternative include Son or Martial or someone else in but would need more convincing

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes... Then you got enough to upgrade Maddisson to Son in case the latter starts firing.

      You also got enough to get in Robbo as well... I like it mate

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        It is either that or Dendoncker to Martial. Both viable options imo.

        But as you say, add'ing Jim gives you more flexibility.

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

        Agree with this. Just do the Connolly move.

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

        Thanks man!!

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

    0.1m short of Otamendi + Salah + Wilson --> Soyuncu + Mané + Vardy (-4).

    Sterling + Wilson --> Mané + Jimenez (FT)?
    ---

    Pope
    VVD | Tomori | Otamendi | Rico
    Salah | Sterling | KDB | Mount
    Tammy | C.Wilson

    Button | Lunstram | Cantwell | Greenwood [2FT + 0.7m ITB]

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

      Ooo that’s frustrating.

      Yeah I would. Would ditch Ota and get Vardy soon though if possible.

      Would also play Lundstram over Otamendi

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

        Just put Otamendi there over Lundstram so he stands out more, ha!

        Get Willems in this week instead of Soy, with enough ITB to go to Soy from Tomori next GW?

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      This is very pleasing for the eyes.. thank you.. Sucks that your 0.1 short of that move.. sounds really good .. Not sure what to do really.. Maybe go for another defender than Soy? Make sure you have enough itb to upgrade Tomori to Soy after this week?

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

        What if I got Willems in this week (in the same deal) and then upgrade Tomori to Soy perhaps next week if no issues?

  24. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Fill the empty slots below with:

    A) Kane, Martial, Tom

        Ofc.

      B

      I'd have to concur with the others and say B. Nice side!!

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks buddy! Got Abraham + Mount early on... also had Lundstram + KDB from gw1. My TV is off the roof

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mount: 6.0
        Abraham: 7.1

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

          So, so nice.

  25. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Martial played 90 minutes today, will he start over the weekend?

    I was set on him as my captain choice but after playing 90 minutes today I'm starting to doubt it

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

      even if 0 mins played i wouldn't cap him

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He'll start, he's integral to us even having a chance of being above average.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      OJS wants/needs to win matches and Martial needed to do that, so highly doubt he wouldn't start

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

    Is it just me or can the rest of ye not see the gw12 captains poll?

  27. Stokelona
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do this for a hit? Mendy, Mount and KDB to Lundy, Martial and Son. Would have to do it tonight to leave funds for azpi to robbo next week.

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

      I wouldn’t do that for a hit, no. Maybe the first 2

  28. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sell Sterling or KDB?

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

      The anser is obvious, Sterl

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

      both similar (nonexistant) returns. Sterling 4 YC's and cost 2m more so I'd say Sterling.

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why either?

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Allows me to get Martial and Greenwood to Jimmy plus keep one Man C mid. More balanced team (I hope)

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

    Folks getting hyped about United players realise Brighton have actually been decent, right?

    1. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think one of Rash or Martial is worth it with upcoming fixtures

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

        Would you get either of them in over Jimenez? I’m not convinced. Trust wolves and Jimenez more than United/Rash/Martial surely?

        1. Eastman
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Probably not over Jiminez but I’m hoping to get Martial and Jiminez

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think they should be more worried about how bad united are

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

      *decent at home

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not as bad as people bringing in Spurs assets for hits to captain against Sheff Utd.

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

    Pukki (c)....

    .... who is with me?!

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Good luck mate.

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

        I will probably bottle it and go Abraham, we shall see.

        I was pretty set on wildcarding but think I’ve now made piece with rolling the FT and hoping Pukki matches Vardy/ that the damage is minimal!

        Likely a bad week incoming
