    Bench 2:

    A) Mount
    B) Ings
    C) TAA
    D) Lundstram ( :O )
    E) Rico
    F) Chilwell
    G) Digne

    I am on AE atm, but will hopefully know more about Mount tomorrow. If he is ready I guess it's Lundy that goes...

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

      AE is correct

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

        wihuuu

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

      Chill and either Rico or Digne for me

    3. The Man Pastore

        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        As an Arsenal-fan I can't see us getting many chances vs Leicester.... Plus Chilwell looking dangerous down that flank.

        What is your take on it?

    4. Baganuva Hatty
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A and E

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

      You should by yourself a starting GK, otherwise nice

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

          1. The Man Pastore
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            lol

    3. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Personally I'd put Chilwell over Lowton and Cantwell.

    4. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’d play Chil

    5. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Very similar team to mine. I'm playing Chilwell and Lowton over Lundstram.

  3. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years

    Aguero (C) Great differential !!!

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

      Correct. A differential up or down?

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      His record vs liverpool is amazing... 0 goals in eight years and 3 shots on target in this period

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years

        At Anfield

    Gazza
    TAA / Rico/ Tomori
    Mane/ martial/ KDB/ Mount/ Maddy

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Guys, think I'm going to do Maupay to Jota this week.
    Gives me:

    Pope
    Robbo Digne Pereira Lundstram
    KDB Mane Martial
    Tammy (c) Auba Jota

    Heaton Dendoncker Cathcart Cantwell

    How does it look? Have my wc and thinking I might use it over IB

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nice move all looks good

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

      G2g just need Vardy next

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

        Yeah possibly. Considering Auba to Vardy. But surely vardy's stats aren't sustainable? Can't help feeling I'm too late to hop aboard

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

          His history indicates he scores a lot of points over the season.

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

          even a slight regress is a lot of points

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

    Aguero+dilva to jiminez +kdb/son for -4
    Or
    Dilva to maddison/tielemans for free?

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Tomori
    Sterling KDB Mount Maddison
    Auba Wilson Abraham

    Heaton Rico Lund Cantwell

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

      Could go Jimmy and Vardy.

    2. Baganuva Hatty

  10. SH1M1
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Would you start Cantwell or KDB ? Im on Cantwell currently but theres doubts over his place

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Time to sell KDB

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        if that's your plan.

        1. SH1M1
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sell him why?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            10m on the bench

            1. SH1M1
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              For 1 game obviously haha, Watford at Home Vs City away, but Cantwell doesn't look like starting so might just go with KDB

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      KDB

  11. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    90mins for Jimenez, sigh...

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      102

  12. selig
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    digne + king 0.2itb —> willems + abraham 0itb for -4? or save transfer

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

      I definitely wouldn’t do that for a hit. Both King and Digne could possibly return ya never know.

  13. dmhomag
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Final tweaks to my WC team now.

    Ramsdale Gazza/Pope

    Jetro/Soy TAA Robbo Lundstrum Rico

    Martial KDB Sterling Mount McGin/Perez

    Jiminez Vardy Tammy

    1. Gazza over Pope. Better fixtures in next 6. Rotates better with Rammy

    2. Jetro over Soy. Soy is a typical centreback with limited attacking returns. Jetro simply has a higher upside.

    3. Perez over McGinn. Better fixtures, better teammates and plays further forward.

    Looking at playing positions, rotation risk etc I think the current flavours of the month e.g. Maddison, Pulisic may not fulfil the hype.

    Appreciate your thoughts please.

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

      Very solid thinking and i cant argue with that. Perez was on the radar early on but dropped off ... could be very good differential.

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

      I definitely prefer Soy. Better fixtures, significantly better team and Ritchie could return and you don’t know what may happen.

      Perez is a rotation risk, but it may be worth the gamble is he can hit some sort of form.

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

      A WC team with no pool attack, wow, not a fan.

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

        My bad. It's Mane not Sterling. TAA Robbo & Mane. Feel that Salah/Firmino/AOC are not as far ahead of comparables the way TAA and Robbo are.

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

          Haha yeah that’s fine, personally i’ve gone TAA + Salah + Mane but only coz i need to be a bit different to others in my ML, i’m the only one with that trio now so hopefully i can push on and improve this dreadful season 🙂

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

            Should work well. Salah has IB to fully recover from his knee issues that are clearly affecting him.

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

              Yeah hopefully he’ll be able to chill and work a bit on that, played the full 90 midweek though do that’s a good sign in itself as well.

    4. NOMONEY
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1 and 3 agreed. but for 2, soy scored last game, this will give him the confidence to get a few more goals this season, so dont think you can say limited attacking returns. plus newcastle is defensively worse than lei, so soy has a better chance for CS

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

      Oooops Mane not Sterling. Fixtures turn. 3xPool FTW.

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

        Ahhh then that’s good then 😉

  14. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A)Salah/Sterling/KDB (pick one), Haller to Son, Vardy
    B) Haller, Maupay to Jimenez, Ings

    Other suggestions?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Digne Lord
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Haller Maupay

    Button Rico Saka Greenwood

    Cheers

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

      I did Sterling to Mane and haven't had Salah all season. KdB is a season keeper barring long term injury, he's just so good. But then again so is Firmino for me so don't always take advice on this forum. Good luck !!!

  15. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I am praying for a Jimenez fail

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

      I prefer to hope for a Firmino hat trick

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep both would be better but from next week tho when I bring Firmino in

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      C'mon, he isnt that popular

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He is popular here, that's a good enough reason for me

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

    Can someone tell me if my WC is ok?

    Ryan, Button
    Robertson, Chilwell, Lundstrum, Rico, Janmaat
    Mane, Sterling, Pulisic, Saint-Maximin, Alzate
    Vardy, Abraham, Jimenez

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

      Mids leave a tad to be desired, otherwise good

  17. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Have following question regarding my team, all thoughts appreciated:

    1) Mount to Pulisic for free or keep FT?
    2) Changes to bench and (c)?

    Pope
    TAA/Tomori/Rico
    Mane/KDB/Maddison/Mount*
    Auba/Vardy(c)/Tammy

    Button/Lund/Soy/Hayden

    1. Mike D
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1) Keep

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1) Keep,dont like CHO/Pulisic situation
      2) maybe Lund over Rico

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

    Why not many are benching Lund this GW? Against Spurs away not a good fixture imo

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It is if he scores.

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

      Because he's a fantasy legend.

  19. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Keep or hold CHO this week?
    Will he start?

    Can get rid for a 9m midfielder. Who'd you get?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Can you get Son 9.6

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Need Mount news.

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I've got Mount as well

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

      Same worry
      Budget for me is 6.6m though
      In your case Martial can be a great option

  20. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Last decision on WC

    1) Vardy > Kane
    2) Jimenez > Rash

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      None?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      2 or save the money.

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers,maybe best to save money.
        Some injury may come in IB it will be easier with money ITB.

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

      You’re debating to switch the players that are massively more in favour of doing well to two lessers? Hmmmm. None of those options imo.

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm,1.3M left and dont want to upgrade defense/mids

        any suggestions?

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

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

          That team looks fantastic as it is, nothing wrong with money in the bank, offers nice manoeuvres for future moves, and not really any point upgrading Hayden if set on a 343. I suppose if anything, maybe Lascelles to Willems, but that’s here not there really. I like the team. GL bud

          1. FFSbet.com
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers,thanks

            Maybe if Mount injured could get Maddison

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

              Of course, could be nice, reckon Mount will be fine though 😉

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Robertson to Pereira and Kevin to Mane?

          1. FFSbet.com
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I used WC to get Robbo,got KDB at 9.5M...

  21. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Another better time to WC if not this IB?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      GW19

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I have no Pool players at the moment but with 2 free transfers I could at least get 1 (Sterling>Mane) now and may be get TAA/Robertson next for Diop. Or get 2 differentials for 1 week punt and WC. You reckon holding on to WC is a better decision TM? I would make 6-7 changes if I hit WC next gw though!

    Which 1 to bench?

    A. Mount (is he likely to play?)
    B. Digne (sou)
    C. Mendy (liv)
    D. Lowton (WHU)

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

      D or A

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers!

      Start Mount. He starts or doesn't play imo. So, he will bench himself. Lowton first sub.

    Current team

    Pope McGovern

    TAA Lundstram Tomori Soy Kelly

    Sterling KDB Mane CHO Stephens

    Vardy Abraham C.Wilson

    A.Kelly Cho and C.Wilson >
    Robertson Tielmans Greenwood
    B.Cho Stephens and CWilson >
    Pulisic Tielmans Greenwood
    C. Any better moves?

    Both A and B are for a hit in GW13 - probably very early in the IB so I can still afford it.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      gw 12 hasn't even happened yet

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

        From gw 12 ...v able to know bout the valid players for gw13...so lets watch nd observe cheers!

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

      C...aftr liv vs city ...able to know which player to choose from thn!

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

      I get the point guys but I make early transfer all the time even in IB. I had .4 moves for these moves now I have .2 and that probably dissappears Friday night.
      So if you had to call A or B now which would it be.

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

        Probably A

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

          Thanks.

      Out of those, A is nice. Can you just do Hudson to Tielmens? Wilson might get something vs WOL

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

        Nope. It’s the Wilson downgrade that is the cash cow for the other 2 moves in both A and B.

    Would you pick Jota over Jimenez?

    Full game yesterday, called for international duties: https://twitter.com/miseleccionmxEN/status/1192563298027343872?s=20

    1. Mike D
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No way

    2. Party time
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn't pick any

    3. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you were in WC, which GK will you have?

      A) Henderson
      B) Pope
      C) Ryan

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

        A

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        If you are fine with 10 men in GW13, Henderson. Otherwise Ryan. Even Gazzaniga can do the job.

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

          Good point on gW13. Fixture should show as blank for these players on FPL site.

      3. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        A

      4. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        A

    4. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Wilson for one more gw or switch to jiminez/ rashford for free?

      1. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Switch to either imo

      2. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Jimmy

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

      I will play CHO if Mount is out.
      But going Soy over CHO if Moudbt looks like playing is the correct call?

      1. KDB4PREZ
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hard call mate prob higher ceiling with CHO tho imo

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

          Yeah looks like Soy has had his fun - unlikely to happen again anytime soon.

      2. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cho imo

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

        Thanks CHO is off the bench and starting.
        And I hope starting in the real world too 🙂

    6. KDB4PREZ

      Gtg? Few punts but team will have pool after this GW.

      Gaza
      Piereia/Lundy/Janmaat
      KDB/Martial/Son/Richarlison
      Kun/Vardy(c)/Tammy(Vc)

      Cho,Rico,Lowten.

      Bench all good? Cheers

          No Pool could bite your bum

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

        Considering Pool and Arsenal fixtures, if Gunners start scoring in these, can I get away with having just TAA and Mane & Auba instead of Salah?
