  3. George James
    • 9 Years

    Son or Martial

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

      Son

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Martial

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

      Son

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs usually struggle against teams parking the bus. Martial imo

    5. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      i went for martial. spurs not looking right except the 2 games against rubbish red star

      1. ItOnlyTook9Years
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Man u on the other hand look amazing, oh wait

    6. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm looking to have both, but would go Martial just for the extra cash

  4. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Deulofeu anyone?

    Norwich (a)
    Burnley (h)
    Southampton (a)

    Could be a good differential.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would get him if I didn’t have Pukki

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        i have C. Wilson and I'm tempted to get Del Boy, on Pens too. Got his first goal last week and fixtures look good for point returns.

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

      Good differential. But there are no rooms for him in my squad atm

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

      Cool kids got him two weeks ago

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

      Good call but no empty slot ...

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hes in my team. Hoping it pays off..

    6. Warby84

      Go Deeney

  5. Oooo Matron

    3) Rico
    4) Lundstrom
    5) Willems

    1. Begbie.

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  8. LSK

    Any idea on what to do with this excrement? Wildcard used. 1.5itb. 1 free transfer.

    Pope/Button
    VVD, AWB, Lundstram/Dunk, Otamendi
    Salah, KDB, Mount, Martial, Cantwell
    Aguero, Abraham/Connolly

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

      Get rid Ota. That’s what I did

    2. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kun to Vardy

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ota to Rico

      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      salah to mane;
      otamendi out for a playing defender

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This if you want a -8. I would also look to upgrade Cantwell or switch to 3-4-3 with Jim

    5. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kun to vardy now, ota to Taa next week.

    6. LSK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all. Looks like Aguero and Otamendi out are the priorities!

  9. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with this?

    Pope, (Button)
    Lundstram, Rico, Aurier (Soyuncu, Kelly)
    KDB, Sterling, Mane, Mount (Hayden)
    (V)ardy, Tammy, Jiminez

    0.2 ITB

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

      nothing really. i would get rid of kdb & take a punt on son or martial as kdb too deep.

  10. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Need advice with my WC team, mates
    All the feedback is welcome 🙂

    Gazza
    TAA Lund Robbo
    Mane Mount KDB Maddy
    Abraham Jimenez Vardy

    Subs: Button, Willems, Rico, Hayden

    1.3M ITB

    *Decided to downgrade Chilwell to Willems because I play mostly 3-4-3

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hendo over gazza for me but have a backup for GW13 and then downgrade

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

        remind me what the deal is again with him missing a game or something?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Can't play vs parent club.

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

            ty

      2. HD7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson to Jimi. Then sell KdB/Sterling to fund connoly to Vardy, next week.

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

        hmm wilson to jimi is a interesting one, will have to think about that

  12. Apollo Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A. Ryan/Heaton > Pope/Gazzaniga
    B. Salah > Mane

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

    Was going to hold CHO for Mount injury, but he seems alright now.

    Which move?

    A) CHO to McGinn
    B) CHO & VVD to Martial & Rico (-4)
    C) Cantwell & VVD to Tielemans & Rico (-4)
    D) Wilson to Jimenez
    E) VVD & Wilson to Willems & Vardy (-4)

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hold

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

      d or e

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

    Play Willems over Soyuncu and Lundstram?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No.

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

      Yes

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Over Soy yes, over Lund is where the real risk/reward lies.

  15. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    This gw ota to saiss/willems, then next gw

    A) wilson kelly -4 to jimenez taa
    B) wilson to auba
    C) wilson mount ota -8 to taa 6.4 mid auba (wont take ota out this gw)

  16. lelou881
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Ryan or Pope and Soy or Rico?

    Currently leaning toward

    Ryan
    TAA Lund Rico
    Mount KDB Sterling Maddison
    Abraham Vardy Jimenez

    Pope Soy Hayden Diop

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bench Ryan and Soy.
      Both manudt and Arsenal will score.

      1. lelou881
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks!!!

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

    Have the same dilemma as most here. Not sure who to bench here

    Lund
    Rico
    TAA
    Soy

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

      i guess soyuncu. i see arsenal scoring atleast once. soyu wont keep scoring goals.
      or maybe rico as newcastle away is not easy.

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

        Soyuncu will score odd goal and get cleansheet mind 😉

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I have a similar problem, Rico 1st sub and Soy 2nd sub for me.

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

      That's why I'm hesitating bringing in Soy. Don't really the benching headache.

  18. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Wilson to jimenez with another -4 making it -8 or wait next gw?

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

      -8 is excessive.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        lol no, it's just a -4

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wait

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

      Think - 8 can work but not so sure here as Wilson could easily outscore Jiminez and you probably need Jiminez to score 2 goals more than Wilson to make it really pay off

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

      Do -8

  19. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    WC question:

    Best gk fodder for 4M? Anybody with better chances to play some part in season?

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

      Button.

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

      nobody will play. button only if ryan gets injured

  20. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    start

    1. kdb
    2. hayden
    3. soyuncu

    i have a gut feeling kdb will not get more than 2 points. he is playing too deep.

    1. korbendallas82

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

        already used transfer yarmo to martial. dont want to take hit.

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

    Thanks for earlier helpful comments here. Decided against WC and playing this team for hit to get Martial and Jiminez. Gtg and correct bench order?

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Rico
    Mane KDB Martial Mount
    Vardy Jimenez Abraham

    McGovern Söyüncü Diop Greenwood

  22. FPLHaggis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which combination for medium term from these?

    A) Sterling Mane Trossard
    B) KDB Salah Martial

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

      B with Mané over Salah

    2. Warby84

      BD

    7. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If money isn’t an issue then AD. But i’d rather go BD and use the extra money elsewhere.

  24. Raging wildcard
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What's people's opinion on the best defender under 5 million? Have already got Lund, Soy and Rico

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

      Willems

    2. Lukey27
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Willems

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

      any newcastle defender. Dunk long term

    4. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Willems.

  25. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    i have robbo and mane. after the IB, triple up LIV with TAA or take a punt on Firmino? LIV not keeping CS, but Firmino not doing much either. Cant afford Salah.

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Go Taa. Creating the most chances of all players in the league.

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Buzzing for the game on Sat. Do wish Son was suspended but would've been so harsh. Let's hope we can scrape somet, will take 2 points from next 2 games but 3 or 4 wouldn't surprise me

  27. derdourily
