      • 12 Years

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      if youre going to captain him

  5. Nabs Kebabs
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    how many number 10s are there in world football better than Maddison? Serious question, he really can't be too far away.

    1. Regin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      is this a joke question? he isnt that great.

      kdb probably best no. 10- playmaker

      1. Canary_Kid
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Who else is better than Maddison then?

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, KdB is an 8

      3. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        lol, when was the last time KDB played #10?

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I hope you aren’t serious......

    3. bigbudgie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would it be fair to say that the number 10 role is more elusive these days as a lot of top teams play with a front three?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        yep

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        The number 10 seems to be a dying breed as it seems a lot of managers are unwilling to accommodate for their defensive frailties

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      lol plebs commenting on this post but have yet to suggest another alternative who even plays this position

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Messi, Hazard, Coutinho are 3.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Messi plays RW, Hazard plays LW. Coutinho bench...

      Made up quotes aside, would we not expect most PL sides to see off those sides these days?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        lol

      2. Nabs Kebabs

        this

      3. bigbudgie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, but Rangers and Celtic are not PL sides

      4. noquarternt
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        You’re proving his point. Most people believe Celtic and Rangers to be poor compared to English clubs.

      5. TheBrat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        So we reckon the likes of Sou, Sheff Utd, Nor, Bou, New, Bur, Avl, Cpl, Wat, Bha etc would beat Lazio home & away or Porto (CL quarter finalists).....? Really? Maybe Old Firm teams are actually regaining a bit of cred on tiny budgets. Way too easy to criticise

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      what makes you think they wouldn't?

  7. derdourily
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Ota to :

    A- Tomori
    B- Soyuncu

    1. nibby

      1. derdourily
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        cheers , don't you think that tomori's fixtures are better than soy ones ?

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Nope
          If they are, Chelsea don't do CS's
          Leicester have great record defensively this season too.
          So ....

          1. derdourily
            • 10 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Perhaps but personally have more confidence in Leicester defence

    5. Regin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      a

    6. Phil's Stamps

      B

    7. bigbudgie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I did Soy because - team form - fixtures - Chelsea concede too much and have players coming back into the fold at CB

    8. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      depends who else you have. ie. i dont like the chelsea or leicester triple up so who else do you have?

  8. Saka White Rice
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling to Maddison? I have 2ft

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I did it earlier in the week with my 1 FT

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, good upgrade

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

      sterling is only two fixtures away from being 'essential'
      mane to sterling is ok cos its easy to switch back but youll spend the extra cash then struggle to bring him back in

  9. andre_c
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson, Yarmo > Jimmy, Tielemans/Maddison for a -4?
    Have Vardy already

    1. derdourily
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep nice moves
      Help me in my question if you can

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Good moves - Maddison if you can ( or Martial?)

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

      not for a hit

  10. Amey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    CHO to Tielemans for a hit ??
    I'm getting itchy fingers because of Mount possibly playing.....

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No - likelihood is CHO plays. Personally think Mount if is ok will be on bench at best. Lampard will not want to risk further injury and if doesn’t play has reason to pull out England squad

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hopefully you're right mate.
        Don't want to take a hit, but hate cameo from CHO so ..
        Cheers !

      2. Regin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        so u reckon we should bench mount rather than risk a 1pt. cameo?

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      not for a hit unless its a long term thing

  11. bennyp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    GTG lads?

    Pope - (Button)
    Aurier - Soy - Tomori - (Lund - Rico)
    KDB - Salah - Mount - Martial - (Guendouzi)
    Kane - Vardy - Tammy

    Who to cappy!? Can't decide.

    1. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tammy

  12. Regin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    why all the obsession with maddison? yes he can score free kicks, he doesnt do much in open play.

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Creative force
      Fair price
      Leicester are awesome this season
      Like BPS too. Mant reasons mate. (Non owner)

    2. bigbudgie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Points per game average of 5.3, 2nd highest points scorer under 7.5m, fantastic run of fixtures in a form team?

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

      i like him

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ayoze underpriced for the chances he’ll get in this Leicester team.

  13. Regin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    my last 4 week captains got me 1,2,1,2. So Vardy (C) this week, a YC & no returns then?

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Same here.

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      3 successful captain picks from 11 gwks 🙁

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    It does make any sense ?
    Kün + Mount > Jiménez + Martial

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

      makes sense

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Good moves

  15. andre_c
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jimmy or Jota to bring in for Wilson?

    1. Regin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      def jimmy

    2. Amey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jimenez
      Nailed + In form + Fixtures + Pens
      Hmmmm

    3. Gooner97
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jimmy

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jiminez

  16. Klaren
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mexico plays Bermuda in Mexico City 3 days before Bournemouth-Wolves in GW13. I assume this means Jimenez is likely to miss/be benched against Bournemouth? Anyone followed whether he played after international duties far away with a short gap?

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      as if jiminez is gonna be playing that Mickey mouse friendly match 3 days before his employer's have a crucual league game. Dont worry

      1. Klaren
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure why he was called up in the first place if they don't intend to play him but hope you are right!

        1. Rhinos
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          he wasn't

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      sheesh so his fixtures go mexico 21st, 24th, 29th, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th, 16th

      stay away!

  17. derdourily
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    play 2 :

    A- Rico
    B- Lund
    C- Soy

    1. Klaren
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      AB but quite close. Arsenal tend to score most games and Rico and Lund has more offensive threat than Soyuncu.

    2. Gooner97
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      AB

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      AB

  18. Gooner97
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start 3:

    A) Ota (liv)
    B) Soyuncu (ARS)
    C) Rico (new)
    D) Lunds (tot)
    E) Cantwell (WAT)

    1. Klaren
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A and E unlikely to start so easy choice.

      1. Gooner97
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Is Cantwell injured?

        1. Klaren
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Hernandez is likely to be first choice in that position.

    2. derdourily
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      CDE

    3. Balls of Steel

    B) jimenez son

    1. Gooner97

      Jimi and Madd

    2. waldo666

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      any other options?

  21. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE

    Start:
    Lundstram or Rico

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Rico so you can moan bout poor advice when Lundstram scores the winner at spuds

      1. WWF

        Hahaha gold.

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Rico

  22. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Security of Lascelles of Willems?

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why, have they been getting death threats?

      1. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Lascelles is secured of a start every week, whereas Ritchie is due to return soon so Willems could be a rotation risk.

        1. Rhinos
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          This is the best example of answering your own question I've ever seen

    2FT
    Any advice?

    Pope
    TAA - Lundstram - Tomori
    Mane - KDB - Mount - Yarmolenko
    Aguero - Abraham - Jiminez

    Button - Soyuncu - Rico - Dendonker

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero to Vardy and Yarmolenko to Son?

      1. Atwood
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Can't afford that unfortunately. Maybe just do the Aguero one?

          You on chemo, WR? Sorry to hear that. Hope the cancer is in remission.

            No mate, finished chemo and waiting for another op but the chemo has left me with a few mental issues called chemo brain, one of which is short term memory loss. Thanks 🙂

      Standing around in the cold with nothing to do. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no injury and Pep was trying to be Pep. Backfired maybe.

    Hi everyone, I need to make my mind before the price changes. Current team is :

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico, Diop
    Mané, KDB, Mount, McGinn, Cantwell
    Aguero, Vardy, Abraham

    Aguero is of course on the chopping block, but I have a wide range of possibilities.

    A) Save FT, then Aguero + Cantwell > Salah + Connolly in gw13 (provided Salah fully recovers during the break)
    B) Save FT, then Aguero + Cantwell > Sterling + Mousset in gw13
    C) Aguero + Diop + Cantwell > Jimenez + Robertson + Maddison
    D) Aguero + Diop + Mount > Jimenez + Robertson + Son
    E) Aguero + Diop + Mount > Jimenez + 4.4m max def + Sterling
    F) Aguero + Diop + Mount > Connolly + Robertson + Sterling

    C to F would be done over 2 to 3 gws. What do you prefer?

    Sell CHO (-4)?

    to
    a. Mané
    b. Maddison?

    1. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years

      You would definitely want Mane in the upcoming fixtures

    2. Foozeball
      • 7 Years

      I wouldn't sell CHO this week. He might start if Mount is unavailable
