    Argh! I know Dilva to Martial is the right move but I just can't bring myself to do it. Talk me into it.

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

      Pulisic Maddison

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

        I'd have to sell CHO or Tomori to get Pulisic and not really ready to do that yet

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

          Maddison then

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

            Hmm. That would allow me to get Patricio too. I think we have a winner!

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

      Not so sure if it's the right move anymore after Martial played the whole match tonight.

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

        Why?

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

          He might get subbed off early.

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

            After brace that’s fine then

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

        no way ole drops martial.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Brighton defence has poor stats in away matches
      Sheff Utd after that won't have Henderson eligible to play

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

        yeah, but United are so anemic in attack

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

          Have been slowly improving. Martial and Rashford playing well together. Scored three tonight.

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

            Partizan though

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

    My plan since WC GW9 has been to have triple Liverpool from GW13. Is it really essential to have three (now already have TAA Mane)? Firmino or Robbo?

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

      Robbo, but do the move for next GW

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

        Yep GW13 I said

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

      Or Salah 😉

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

        Tempted, low TV sadly

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

          Ohh
          Robbo then

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

            Maybe cheers ... or just go with two ...

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

              That's what i also think
              Cheap Defense doing well atm so not keen on Robbo myself

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

                Yes and Firmino hit and miss ...

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

      I have the same two and am looking at Sterling to Salah depending on how he plays the next two. Could be a hell of a differential if his ownership is in the low to mid twenties.

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

        Yep yep

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

        Ok will need to squeeze somewhere

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

          And judging by how slowly his value is creeping down despite the feelings about him on here, I reckon a significant number of the 27% who still have him are dead teams. He's an obvious choice for casuals. Only 4 in the top 50 own him.

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

            I am not too excited onboarding Salah ... time will tell

  3. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    bottomed sorry

    GTG?

    Pope
    Arnold, Rico, Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount?
    Abraham(VC), Vardy(C), King

    (4.0 GK - Cantwell, Lundstram, Kelly)

    Mount or Cantwell?

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

      Lundy ahead of both.

      1. clodhopper
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

      mount

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

    Who to sell for Mane? Aguero or Sterling. 2ft, have Kdb, Taa

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

      Aguero due to rotation risk.

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

      Aguero

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

      thing is Aguero is differenial in all my mini leagues and im chasing

  5. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mount trained today, and he's in the England squad. Is he likely to play against Palace or not?

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

      yea

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

      Press conference tomorrow should give a better idea hopefully.

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

      I reckon so, i’d say Chelsea’s game is more important than any for England, and Lamps may be able to pull an ‘IB injury’ off to keep him well.

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

      Young gun recovers like magic 😉

  6. Nightf0x

    B) taa kelly

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Robbo Rico

  7. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison or Martial??

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Asked on nearly every page
      Depends if you have Vardy IMO

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

        Vardy should not be a factor to decide ...

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

    Bench 1

    A Lundstram
    B Söyüncü
    C Rico

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B
      Auba will score IMO

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

      Soy

        Thanks- bit surprised

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Maddy or Martial?

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

      i went martial (have vardy & soyu)

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

      Martial OOP but United up and down ... if you feel taking risks. Maddison the safe choice I reckon.

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

        Maddy coming to Utd soon enough tbf bro

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

          😀

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

    after IB.

    1. KDB to Salah
    2. KDB to Sterling
    3. Dunk to TAA

    (Have Robbo & Mane)
    1 means I have no City cover whatsoever.

    kdb seems to play too deep, but then neither salah nor sterling playing like 12m players.

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

      4. Pukki to Jimenez/ Firmino/ Lacazette also an option

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

        4
        Jimenez

  11. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Argghhh, just not sure at all this week. 2 FT and 1.6 ITB

    Ryan
    TAA AWB Soy Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount*
    Tammy (C) Pukki

    (Button Dendonker Rico Greenwood)

    A) Pukki to Jimenez
    B) Sterling to Martial (spend cash after IB)
    C) B and Greenwood to Vardy
    D) Something else

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

      c sounds good. vardy + martial better than sterling & greenwood

    2. derdourily
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      C

    3. waldo666

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

    Deeney the differential this week...

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

      Makes Deulofeu even better

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

        I reckon he plays tomorrow.

    2. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thought he was way off yet wow.

  16. Nightf0x

    E) auba tielemans taa wilems/lascels/sais mount

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

      Narrow it down a little, 5 is half your team and you are the manager.. I would not personally go Aubameyang

      1. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Already have mount and kelly, im confused as i will do this tansfers over 2 gwks -4 and -4, also im looking for long run so auba or jimy is not coming this gw

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

      C

  17. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lot of love for Lundstram out there but he'll be last sub for me. Cue egg on my face but can't see him getting too much joy there.

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

      1st sub here

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

      Makes no sense people thinking he's unbenchable.

  18. The EJJ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Get rid of Sterling or KDB? lots of people going Sterling but feel like KDB is playing quite deep and Sterling is more of a goalscorer

    1. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going Sterling but then I have a fair amount tied up in kdb

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

      Surely get rid of KDB if you think he is playing deep and Sterling is more of a goalscorer?

  19. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    0 baps for martial so far this season

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

      Style of play maybe.
      Will get one if able to get Winner or two returns.

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

        his style of play is constantly giving the ball away, never links up or finds a teammate 😆

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

          Exactly

        2. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Agree. Also still wastes a lot of good chances in front of goal. Kinda like Raheem Sterling a few years ago. So much potential, just not sure if he's got the football brain or the temperament to go to the next level

          1. kraftwerker
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            all of these comments are wrong. for someone who never links up or finds a teammate Utd's attacking play doesn't half improve when he plays...

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

      well he missed so many matches

  20. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What's the best move this week guys?

    Not sure whether to go ahead with Firmino or Jimenez 
    2ft, 0.1itb

    1) sterling Ota-> mane willems/Rico
    2) firmino ota-> Jimenez willems/Rico 
    3) mount Ota-> pulisic willems/rico
    4) kdb firmino-> mane Jimenez 
    5) ota-> rico/willems/ tomori and do 2ft during IB

    Team is:
    Pope 
    Soy taa lundstram 
    Sterling kdb maddison mount 
    Vardy (c) Firmino Abraham

    Button, saka, Ota, Hanley

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Keep Wilson? Tempted by jiminez/ rashford

  22. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Currently on WC. Is it worth getting Kilman or Prodl for 4.0m as 5th defender in case they might get some minutes from time to time or better to go with Reid for 3.9 instead?

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

      Very unlikely any of them play anytime soon.

    A- Tomori

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

        doesnt look like it.. people are still shipping him out

  25. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Folks, could do with some advise..maddison or martial? the 0.2m saved gives me added flexibility if that makes a diff

    Pope
    Taa Lundy Rico -- Tomori Lascelles
    Sterling Kdb Mount Dilva* -- Cantwell
    Tammy Vardy Rashford

    A: Dilva >> Martial....and then next gw Kdb/Rash >> Mane/Ings
    B: Dilva >> Maddison...and the extra 0.2m allows me to get Salah (over mane if i want). Alternatively, the extra 0.2m allows me to do Lascelles/Rashford >> Robbo/Ings if i want

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You have already decided but i will go for Martial OOP

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        just dont know whether the extra 0.2m is worth less flexibility

    How is this WC team looking 1.3M ITB any suggestions?

    Gazza-4.0
    TAA-Robbo-Lund (Lascelles/Rico)
    Salah-KDB-Martial-Mount (Hayden)
    Vardy-Jimmy-Tammy

    Vardy + Lascelles > Kane + Janmaat ?

      very template team besides keeper
      Vardy offers better value than Kane - would prefer Auba over Kane if going for that premium.
      leave vardy/lascelles as newc have some decent home games coming up

      If I hadn’t got Vardy (-4) by getting of these both of these players I’d have done A
