    Aurier, Alli, Kane all rested?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

  2. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of losing TAA after this gw to fund maybe Kane, mad ?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly..

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Loosing TAA is not mad I guess but that to fund Kane is slightly ... other cheaper strikers are producing the good at the moment

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking the same

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

      Not the worst idea. With TAA blanking GW18 and a good chance of Leicester scoring in GW19 then Kane just needs 1 goal against each of Chelsea and Brighton and you will be laughing.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        as per Zico's point above, there are better cheaper strikers than Kane who are in form at the moment and if your not going to captain Kane then he is quite expensive to hold.

  3. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    Trent Lundstram Soy
    Mane Sterling Zaha Ali
    Vardy (c) Jiminez Ings
    (Pope Kelly Dunk Cantwell)

    Not having Tammy or Rashford worries me this week. But I haven’t got spare cash to upgrade from Jiminez. Also I’m losing patience with Sterling despite promising myself he was a season keeper.

    Any views?
    A) save FT
    B Sterling -> Son
    C Sterling & Jiminez -> Son & Rashford/Tammy (-4)

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A from those although I don't rate Zaha as a pick.

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus, should have been the fourth

  5. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Prolly b

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Amazing accuracy

  6. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Tempted to do Pukki+Pulisic > Jesus+Cantwell for -4
    yey or nay?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Two starters with potential out, Jesus in. That's a no from me.

      • Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nope, Cantwell didn't start last week so may not start GW18 when needed for the Liverpool blank and why sell Pulisic prior to a "plum" tie at home to Bournemouth.

      • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Kneejerkers kneejerk

      • Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nope

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keep or dump sterling for the arsenal Game.

      Thinking about Salah in but would be Tomori --> Kelly and a -4

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I did Sterling > Salah(-4) last week but would hold in your position, especially if you have Mane.

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ye i have Mane and Vardy (C) for the weekend

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Keep Sterling then, Arsenal defence is embarrassing plus you're getting another player that blanks in a week for a hit.

      2. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'd do it if you were captaining Salah.

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          ye agreed but I cant take the armband off Vardy

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely keep. Salah in is just bad with blank coming up next

    3. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      top 3 players to own this week? bar Vardy obviously as every man and their dog will captain him

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Jesus, Tammy, Mane

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Mane, Salah, Jesus

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

        TAA

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

        Tammy, Maddison and Ings

      5. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 3 months ago

          No idea but hoping it's Salah, Pulisic, Tomori 😀

        • Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Jesus, Sterling, KDB

        • POLSKA GOLA
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Vardy Mane KDB

        • Limbo
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Vardy

        • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

          Trent

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Only one but the first one that came to mind

        • Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Salah/Mane, Tammy, Mads

        • circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Chilwell, Raz, Tammy

      6. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        So assume the consensus on here is that Jesus is totally essential now?
        Love this place 😆

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Zinchenko was just subbed on and is playing up front? There's your essential!

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Remember when everyone had Zinch in their teams? Good times

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Nice straw man.

        3. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          People said the same thing when I got Alli in before he wrecked it. Jesus is showing great form playing for a top team, of course he's a great pick now.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Def not in consistent form imo. And Kun won’t be too far off

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

          Vardy to Jesus is a no brainer

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yep. Doing it for a -8 tonight before the price swing

          2. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            done it on my second and third teams for fun

      7. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Do we think Pep is easing Mendy in to the team because of his injury history or has he lost his place as a starter?

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I don't think Pep trusts him at all otherwise he'd have been playing more as Angelino is awful, I actually think Zinch goes back in at LB soon.

          1. The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Not sure why, think he's better than Zinch and Angelino is far from both...

      8. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Selling Vardy for Jesus might be a viable option...

        1. McSauce
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          .......................

      9. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Any word from Utd on tomorrow's game....Rash to rise tonight possibly?

        Utd through so wondering will be be rested

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Judging from their last European lineup Id say the chance of Rashford playing is below zero

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Good. Thanks bro

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Just get him, he'll probably be rested.

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

        Robbo Lund Soy
        KDB Mane (vc) Son Alli
        Vardy (c) Jimi Mousset

        Button Kelly Hayden Rico
        1FT and 1.9IB

        A. Mousset ---> Ings
        B. Jimi ----> Rash
        C. Save FT

        Thinking A?

      11. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Zaha vs BHA
        Pros : 5G, 2A in 10 Games vs BHA
        Cons : Out of form (season)

        Mount vs BOU
        Pros : Rested & likely to start vs BOU
        Cons : Doesn't have a high ceiling

        Which one to play?

        1. Pinturicchio10
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Surely there should be more cons for Zaha...

            1. Slitherene
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Like?

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Harwood-Bellis' price in FPL?

        3. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Would you gamble on playing Tomori over Lund? Have Henderson as GK

          1. Pinturicchio10
              4 years, 3 months ago

              No I'd rather take the plunge with the double up.

          2. Gudjohnsen
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Vardy to Jesus for a hit?

            1. McSauce
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              yep 100%

            2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Any way to take two hits?

              1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Vardy to Jesus - Jesus to Vardy - Vardy to Jesus EZ.

            3. DA Minnion (Former great)
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Go for it.

          3. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Even Foden and Jesus can score against Croatian farmers. Guess who's on the pitch yet cant score? Raheem is past it, a glorified tap in merchant.

          4. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            A couple of tap-ins in Serbia and people go mad

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

            Is it completely bananas to play the bench boost card not in a double GW? Brought in David Martin on a free last week to replace my bench fodder in Stekelenberg. He's only going to get a few more starts before Fabiankski returns so considering playing bench boost this weekend.

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              It's viable if bench is good enough of course

            2. fr3d
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              BB chip is shite and you could easily play it now if you’re confident that all your players play. Remember people were dead ending their WC teams to have Brighton and Southampton players for BB. You might even dodge a bullet playing it now

              1. The Ejiptian King
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Excuse me, I had useless Watford players too.

                1. Brosstan
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Deulofeu did well

                  1. The Ejiptian King
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    I think I had Foster and Deeney, conceded in last min against Hudds and a red card before the DGW even happened.

              2. Wensink
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Thanks. I just need to move Guendouzi who's been a donkey for me all season.

            3. Horlicks esq.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I’m the same.

              Bench is Martial and Lundstram cos they aren’t better than the XI choices. I might press the BB

            4. circusmonkey
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Of course. Did mine in week 11, got another 20 points.

            5. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              It's not bananas but I like to have the increased chance of points so having 2 games from each of your bench players (probably) is better odds. Either way, the BB is so hard to predict and use correctly.

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  This

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Hoping for an early lineup release for Liverpool on Saturday!

            7. Horlicks esq.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I’m gunning for that 100+ this week.

              Every player at home except one.

              1. fr3d
                • 6 Years

                Sounds like 34 points mate

                  Ha. Likely!

                  Mane (c) again. That’s 20 points.

                  You know what, I had that thought earlier when I confirmed ft. The ton, or close to, is possible once again this gw.

                As above then.

                What constitutes a successful BB.

                How many points?

                  20?

                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Yeah I agree. Something like that. I’d hope for a 100 if I use it. That’ll do.

                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  A successful BB would consist of a few differentials in the team & just 1 or 2 players blanking out of 15.

                    I think I might use it. Number 1 in the world has gone to town on their chips and it looks like it offers a good platform for the whole season. Putting these folk 200+ ahead early on. I’d never have the balls to go with it so early but it looks a handy tactic If done right. At the end of the day a good TC is a player that 3BP’s and takes a goal/assist etc

                      Martial has a good record against Everton, if he continues that then your BB could be great.

                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  4 from each player is what I'm hoping for as a minimum so 16 is the least I'd want to get.

                A. Aurier (wol)
                B. Kelly (BHA) double-up with Guaita

                Looking to burn a transfer on the below team. Have 2 free.

                Cantwell or Tamori to who?

                Gazzinga/Button
                Kelly/TAA/Pereira/Lundstrum/Tamori
                KDB/Madison/Mane/Zaha/Cantwell
                Jimenez/Tammy/Vardy

                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Tomori -> Dunk
                  Button -> Martin is another option

                  1. Heiro
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    And bench boost?

                    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      I wouldn't

                2. Slitherene
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Tomori to someone who plays 18

                    Keep Cantwell, get David Martin if you have to burn one.

                Evening all. This lot do for the weekend?

                Pope
                TAA, Chilwell, Lund
                Mane, KdB, Maddison, Mount
                Vardy(c), Rashford, Tammy

                Button, Kelly, Cantwell, Rico

                1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Yep, good to go

                2. Pinturicchio10
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    I'd like that strike force, ain't gonna happen though can't afford it. Team looks solid. gtg.

                  • Heiro
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Terrible team.

                    Huge risks

                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Guess I should keep Jesus then:
                  Abraham & Kelly in for Jimenez & Diop for free?

                  If there was a leaked line up on Saturday pre first game that Mané starting would you switch captaincy to him from Vardy ?

                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    No but if mane is benched and line up leaked I'd consider Mane to Salah(C)

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Why do people think Mane won't start?

                  My opponents this week.

                  Newcastle.
                  Brighton
                  Norwich
                  Watford
                  Bournemouth
                  West Ham
                  Wolves

                  Gotta be points to be had

                    Add Villa to those and that’s why I’m playing BB

                      • 13 Years

                      All at home apart from Alli

                    These are the weeks when red cards, pen misses, random benching, and random scorers strike.

                  BT don't have the greatest commentators, and pundits in the world. Have to think there will be some garbage spouted on New Years Day, when they cover nine PL games, all live and available on tv.
