    Defence look set or bench swap?

    Pope
    Lundstram, Trent, Virgil
    Mane, KDB, Martial, Maddy, Mount
    C Vardy, Tammy

    Button, Rico, Mousett, Soy,

    2.0 bank

    1. Dynamic Duos

      Rico instead of Virg maybe

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

        Thought about it, Virg becomes Robbo before wk 13.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah Robbo will be great for you

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

            Bottled it pre wk1, Virgil smashed first game but been missing since.

  2. Dynamic Duos

    Anyone with no City worried?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      They should be 😉

    2. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Just about to sell the last one. So no.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Who? I sold my last, KDB to Son.

          1. Pinturicchio10
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Sterling to Mane

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Sideways this week, no?

                1. Pinturicchio10
                    5 years, 4 days ago

                    More faith in Mane vs City than Sterling vs Pool to be honest and want the switch for the foreseeable anyway so.. might as well.

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

            Why so?

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Because they are still City and score lots of goals

              1. Magic Zico
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Yeah but if their players keep scoring 12 0 12 0 ... is it not better to have others scoring 6 6 6 6 but cheaper? Plus make us emotionally stable 😉

          5 years, 4 days ago

          Any news on Mount?

          Currently playing 352.

          Would you switch to 442, playing Rico weekly, and swap Yarmolenko and Mount to bench player and Pulisic for a hit?

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years

            Tomorrow, in the Eng squad.

            what makes you feel pulisic is worth that?

          Bit stuck on what to do wise ones. 2FT and 0.1m ITB. Help much appreciated please. Thanks.

          Pope
          Cancelo - Robbo - Lund
          KDB - Sterling - Mount - James
          Kane - Abraham - Vardy

          McGovern - Rico - Soy - Nakamba

            having 2FT for the IB is good so id only look to do one. how happy with cancelo are you?

            1. Bobby_Baggio
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              only got him last week :). Rather keep. Only thing i can think is Kane > Jimenez but really can see kane doing well

                im advising against wolves because of fixture overload

        4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          selling united assets for city players. Might be a decision reminiscent of Duffy C. People just look back and think what the heck was I thinking

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            selling city for united assets*

            The thought of this has made me go a little loopy

            1. Tomerick
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Might?

              5 years, 4 days ago

              I couldn't type properly, the thought of it makes me lose my mind

          5 years, 4 days ago

          Cheeky repost, sorry:

          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. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Good start, beware missing the Martial train as any hot Man U player flys.

            1. FPL Scoop
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              You’re right. I just can’t seem to trust them rn though, so inconsistent in the league. Jimenez feels a safer bet for now...

              Always the option of Maddison to Martial/Son if they start flying

          2. Bggz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            save. then kelly -> robertson perhaps

            1. FPL Scoop
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Don’t want Connolly away to united

              1. Bggz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Connollys an enabler not someone one "wants", hes not worth spending transfers on
                im staying well away from wolves till theyre out of europe

          3. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            I answered on your previous post, but I think getting Jimenez makes sense. Adds flexibility to your team as well with 3.5 itb

        7. Dynamic Duos
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Don't know about anyone else but I sold Mount anyway to get Pulisic, fit or not, needed a change.

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Same here mate after much deliberation!! Looked at Martial too!! Went with Pulisic as I thank his sealing is higher and we can trust Chelsea more than United currently imo

            interesting move, pulisic looks decent

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah lets just hope he is good as we think.

            Nothing wrong with this move ... reversible right if things go wrong?

          1. GreennRed
            • 13 Years

            Jimenez. More cutthroat.

          Which one to captain?
          A Vardy
          B Tammy
          C Mane

          1. Miguel Sanchez

            A makes sense in so many ways.. But I'm going with B I think.

            I usually check the bookies odds to score whenever I am in doubt

          With a transfer and nothing else to do, with Aguero to Auba happening in IB, any harm in bringing in Kane for one week? Maybe even give him the armband....?

            Vardy. Worried not owning him, wondering about losing Sterling to get him in.

              At a -4? Moves in question?

                Yes -4 unfortunately. Sterling and Greenwood out, Dendonk and Vardy in.

                A plus is that it would give me over 3mil itb going forward.

                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 4 days ago

                  3mil defence upgrade and get Robbo?

                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 4 days ago

                    Yes I could upgrade Ota to Robbo and still have plenty left over

                    1. Dynamic Duos
                      • 11 Years
                      5 years, 4 days ago

                      Those moves could be a winner then, but could backfire to at a -4, might work if you (c) Vardy.

                        Thanks mate it could go either way, feel it's an important decision!

            Son, Kane, Trossard, Aguero, Grealish

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Aguero and Grealish weren't expecting that. Aguero hasn't scored in league at Anfield and Grealish don't rate him one bit.

              1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Aguero is for me the best striker in the league. IF he starts and I think he will (don't think pep trusts Jesus at Anfield) I think he does well against a shaky/nervous liverpool defence. Lovren at the back is hardly a confidence filler

                Of course Aguero doesn't have a great record at Anfield but this is the worst liverpool defence has looked for a while, I think he does well.

                Grealish seems to be playing in a more attacking role compared to the last time he was in the league. I am just going by the last few performances. He looked really good.

                I went for some slightly different picks and many won't agree but I think they are ones which I'd like to own apart from the obvious

                1. Dynamic Duos
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 4 days ago

                  You make some fair points tbf, I will keep my eye on them this gwk.

          3. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Martial and Kane...

            Not so fuzzed about Perez yet. But if he starts playing more as a striker and develop a good partnership with Vardy, then I would consider shifting him in for Mount

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              So your going Aubameyang instead of Kane?

          4. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            This week? Mane, Firmino, Richarlison.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Yeah all these i can understand, playing on getting any in soon?

              1. JIMMY TUGGINS
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                I was gonna get Mane for Sterling this week but gonna hold instead, prefer Sterling as captain home to Chelsea to Liv away at Palace, I'll get either Mane or Salah after that. I'm a little bit scared of no Liv attack if Bravo starts, lol.

                1. Dynamic Duos
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 4 days ago

                  Oh I have Salah and sticking with him over Mane.

          5. GreennRed
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Abrahams.

            I don't rate Martial, maybe good for a 4 or 5 game streak then longer period of littleness.

            Perez scored 3 against Southampton. Might improve after Christmas like he used to for The Toon.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Just think/hope Perez and Vardy start to click.

              1. GreennRed
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Hope he does better for you and Martial. No shortage of ability, just lack consistency for me.

              I just got him yesterday, my (c) atm.

                • 9 Years

                I got Tielemans in to get rid of Cantwell, and will give sterling 2 more.. Think I’ll move sterling on to son, and go without City for a bit

                1. Dynamic Duos

                  Seems like most are doing the same.

            Ok great guys, some good input here. I'm off to bed now , goodnight

        22. doppelganger

          GTG ? Got 1FT 1m in the bank

          Pope Heaton
          TAA Otamendi Pereira Lundstram Rico
          KDB Salah Mount Maddison Cantwell
          Aubameyang Abraham Connoly

          Thinking maybe Mount to Pulisic or Pope to Gazzaniga?
          What do you think?

          Cheers!

          Jimenez surely a better pick than Rashford...

          For one, he actually scores his pens. Also over 1m cheaper, and is more clinical and arguably better fixtures

            Rashford higher ceiling IMO

            • 7 Years

            I think he is potentially fantastic value at 7.1. I thought he was underpriced even at 7.5 when the game was launched

            1. Warby84
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              7.3 by tomorrow still a bargain.. Rashford plays for Utd...

            One of first rules of FPL, steer clear of Manure

          Ryan
          Robbo Lund Soy Tomori
          Sterling KDB Mane Mount
          Vardy (c) Jimi (vc)

          Button Rico Connelly CHO

          2 FT and 0.0 IB
          Was thinking Mount/CHO to Pulisic/Hayden but may wait until tomorrow before pulling trigger - any other suggestions?

          Blades CS away at Spurs would be a thing of utter beauty.

          Or if Lundstram has to lose his CS, let it be Ndombele or someone that scores the sole goal. Before Lord L gets the equalizer 😉

          1. Warby84
            • 9 Years

            I think he will blank this week

            I have a feeling they are going to get a hammering, stats say no but just have a funny feeling it begins to go downhill for blades at somepoint and this is the week I think it might happen

              I am afraid of this too but it seems madness to bench Lund at this stage.

        26. Niho992

          Benching dilemma Mount vs Lundstram ?
          I will play Soyuncu definitely cause i dont see how Arsenal can score there

          1. Warby84
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            I agree I think Leicester get a clean sheet, I would honestly play mount

        27. Fernando Torres

          Sterling to Son? FT

          Alright this is it...

          Martial vs Pulisic.

          First to 3 wins!

          1. Niho992
            • 6 Years

            Martial

            Pulisic
            Martial
            Martial

            that was close one

          Will be delaying catching the United/Son trains for now. All aboard the Jimenez Jet for now I think!
