    Hey, Folks...Thinking of a (-4)...

          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          can do jimi for free now or martial for free next week. will be pretty locked into either team structure so hard to move things around once i commit

  5. Twisted Saltergater

    So glad it’s a Friday deadline this week. Have a couple of players that wouldn’t survive the drop if it was Saturday lunchtime.

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

      Yeh agree !!!

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

        I really hope Pukki scores. It would be a nice farewell. Otamendi on the other hand, can do one!

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

          Yeh I like Pukki this week

  6. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Any last minutes - 4 changes required here?

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Tomori
    Mane Sterling Maddison Mount
    Vardy(C) Jiminez Tammy

    Button Soyuncu Rico Guendouzi

    Bench order okay?

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

      Yes all good I think

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

      I have Rico first sub ahead of Soyuncu but nice team!

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

      looking at your team it's suddenly dawned on me how screwed mine is this week

    4. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I can get to that exact starting XI, plus Rico and Soyuncu on the bench, with my 2FT doing KDB and Connolly > Maddison and Jimenez. The more I see Vardy, Abraham and Jimenez up top together the more I like it, especially given KDB’s deep-lying position.

  7. _Ninja_

    2. Space Cadete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A + C for me. I always like having two cheap defenders for crap teams teams playing against each other. Hard to predict who will get cleanie, but good chance that one of them will and outside chance of 0-0. The fact that those two both have attacking threat means goal involvement chance too.

      For what it’s worth, I have Lundstram last on my bench this week. Expecting a 0 or less from him this week, ignoring the ridiculous hype about starting him every week.

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

        5th highest scoring player in the game.lol

  11. noquarternt
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Having not been here in the echo chamber for a while, is there a reason people are selling Sterling?

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

      Didn't score three goals last week so must sell

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He doesn't do well against Liverpool and is on 4 yellow cards.

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

      Not done much since GW 1, over priced, too dependant on Mendy starting and the likes, Aguero impacts his output, useless at present in the PL, and won't captain anywhere near in the future. Mose pointless waste of funds in the game at current. Needs 100 chances to score 1, list goes on.

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      im considering sterling to mane for fixtures, form and cos its easy to switch back

      1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        am moving him on to Salah next gameweek i think having KDB is enough cover.

    5. Cok3y5murf

      Blanked at home to Southampton, what a crime

    6. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years

      It's too tempting to swap premiums around

    7. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Form isn't great for 12m, and fixtures turn bad. I think that covers it, mostly.

      For me, I'm considering selling to accommodate Vardy.

  18. Kaiser123
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this move. Sterling, Cantwell and Cancelo to Maddison, Martial and Robbo for -8 this week or -4 next week with Robbo then. Sorts out non playing dudes, and all 3 have decent fixtures.

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe
      But you are spreading money around
      Does that make it difficult to move on a midfield premium again?

      1. Kaiser123
        • 4 Years

        I’ve still got KDB, Mane, Mount with Tammy and Vardy up top.

      Well worth a try if you fancy his form, and eye-test looks like goals in him atm. I guess he's been brought in before a lot in similar circ and disappointed, hence the lack of interest?

    Ryan
    TAA Soy Lord Lundy
    Sterling KDB Maddison Mount
    Vardy (c) Rashford Tammy

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

      Good to go. Fooled me for a minute - thought 'who does Lord play for?'. Swapping Mane in for Sterling is what a lot have done, and it's not unreasonable. Depends on your attitude to taking a hit, which requires him to get more than 4 to be a success.

    2. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’d definitely be starting Rico ahead of Soy - Arsenal will score no doubt about it

        This

  24. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hello everyone,
    Team is: Pope (Button)
    TAA, Mendy, Tomori, (Lund, Rico)
    Mane, Son, CHO, Traore, (Yarm)
    Vardy, Jimi, Abraham

    Cant decide if defenders to play is right: RMT suggests Rico, Lund, Mendy, is right order after TAA and Tomori this week. Seems a big position to start Rico in front of Mendy and Lundstram? What do you think? Realise there's no definitive answer!
    Also who to captain???

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Always scared to bench Lund as so many own him and you never know if he's going to score. Rico probably best chance of clean sheet as Newcastle only scored 3 at home. I have same issue with Mendy, I'm starting TAA, Pereira and Rico. Then have to decide between Lund and Mendy.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. I think Lundstram has scored all his goals at home so far, so I've decided that will always play him when at home, but not necessarily away. Also I'm trying to chase rather than template only at the moment.

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      There's a lot of tough defensive start order issues this week.
      I'd actually bench Mendy and probably order yours TAA, Tomori, Lund, Rico, Mendy - with Lund/Rico being a preference thing.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. I think I'll do that. Just looked so odd having Mendy last on bench. As I have Son I will bench Lund, and hope for perfect scores (Spurs big win, Bournemouth clean sheet) , rather than covering my bets by playing Son against Lund.

        1. E25
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sounds like a good plan mate, especially if you're chasing!

  25. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ok decision made, and as huge a fan I am of KDB it’s a move for the greater good. Replacing him with Maddison so I can afford to upgrade Connolly (who’s coat is on a shaky peg now with the return of Brighton’s stars) to Jimenez. I definitely think Jimenez and Wolves have turned a corner at exactly the right time and those two will outscore KDB and Connolly until xmas.

    Thoughts?

    1. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Or maybe Martial 🙂

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Seems a fair shout. KDB not playing as advanced a position apparently, tho could still make those of us without him look a bit daft!

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

      jimenez fixtures go mexico 21st, 24th, 29th, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th, 16th

      i like maddison but wolves are over stretched

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking of doing the same mate. Everyone on here seems to be against the KDB move though :/

      1. yer old da
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Think it also depends on your cash leagues and whether you’re in the lead or chasing. Obviously early days and doesn’t require rash decisions, but opportunities like this to throw in a well-reasoned differential could improve your rank massively. I’m 50 point behind our leader and we have about 10 players the same so worth shaking it up I reckon.

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years

          Im in the exact same situation mate. 63 points off mini leader. I have Sterling and it would make more sense to get rid of him but i feel like he's got a higher ceiling than KDB especially with him playing much deeper atm like you said. Looking at Tielemans, JWP, James and Martial as differentials atm. Anyone else you have in mind?

            Only looking at Martial, Maddison and maybe Tielemans. No way I’d have James.

              Fair enough. Hope it works out well for us. For now its a wait and see haha

    A) CHO (CRY)
    B) Tomori (CRY)
    C) Lundstram (tot)
    D) Rico (new)
    E) Soyuncu (ARS)

      Tough. Wait for news on Mount, etc. on CHO.
      Probably bench D and E

    Early days, but its obvious already.

    Lundstran + Rico >>> WanBissaka + Bennet.

      Not worth a minus eight. Do it next week! If you've had a couple of extra beers think about it again in the morning (smiley face)

    Martial or Maddison (already have Vardy but no Man U)?

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

      Martial for sure

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

      maddison still, or tielmans

  29. Willmissudimitrypayet

    Did Martial and Pulisic in for Pepe and Dilva for a -8.

    Now the question is, how stupid was I ?

      Could be a winner as Dilva is out.

        Hopefully. Was so many choices with these 2 midfield spots though. Decided to go with them as they are in good form. Have 4 millys in the bank to fix things later if necesary

      for bringing in pepe in the first place? very

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        4 years, 5 months ago

        Haaha, exactly. Been grasping at straws with him for way too long.

      Other transfer?

    Ota, Mount, King > Willems, Donck, Vardy (-4)

    Too bold? Keeps the City mids, but pretty more or less forces 433:

    TAA, Rico, Lunds, Willems (Lowton)
    Mane, Sterling, KDB (Cantwell, Donck)
    Vardy, Jimenez, Tammy

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

      I would keep King and Mount I think.

      Ota to Digne, Chilwell, Aurier, PvA or something

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Leaning more that way every hour, but exploring options.

        No Leicester makes upward progress slow going, so that's what I was looking to accommodate. Vardy the obvious pick, but I'm limiting myself one way or another.

        Also considering:
        1) Ota > Chilwell & save second FT for IB
        2) Ota, Cantwell > Soy, 5.5
        3) Ota, Sterling, King > Chilwell, Martial, Vardy (-4)

    2. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd get rid of Cantrell rather than Mount if affordable, as he's apparently not a sure starter now. Lots of people with similar teams selling either Sterling or KDB to enable better choices in rest of squad, but a big City win against Pool could make it all look pretty stupid. Big call.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Preach. I've been thinking on this for a couple weeks, in fact.

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Dumping Cantwell is affordable, but not a lot of options in my price bracket.

        Ota, Cantwell > Soy, 5.5

        1. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough. Pickings poor for 5.5. Differential, the poster above, would tell you to pick Djenepo.
