    tempting to do Jimmy > Jesus

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure about that one. Arsenal are terrible but spurs are hardly water tight at the back

      Plus aguero might be back soon

      1. Bojaninho

        Bembas voice of reason and sanity always welcome thanks Millhouse

  2. Phil's Stamps

    Looking for a second opinion, final decision on a WC.

    A) Mount to Alli
    B) Do it next week

    Have Abraham and Son if it helps.

    Thanks.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A
      I don't like to do a transfer after WC

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

      Why would you keep Mount on a WC?
      Easy Alli

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

      No brainer to dump Mount.

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

      Thanks all, just fancy Mount against Bourn at home more than Alli away at Wolves, plus a lot of rivals in my MLs will have Mount this week. But like last time, the advice is unanimous to dump him.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Might as well just do it on wc

  3. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lo Celso and Eriksen look so disinterested. Also why does José bother brining son on at all. What’s he going to gain

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

      I thought this, like what is the point in playing Son, really.

      1. danlynch13
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Doesn’t make sense to me

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

          Me neither, ah well, keeps the engine oiled with a run out, just don’t want an injury.

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

      Just like how Pep played Sterling tonight

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Id like to have seen son fully tested although I think son is one of those players who benefits from playing games. Very high energy

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

        Yeah agreed

  4. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford is gonna rise again 🙁

  5. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1 FT 0.6 itb

    Kasper
    TAA Lundstram Kelly
    Mane KDB Son Pulišić
    Vardy (c) Tammy Jimenez
    (4.0 Cantwell Tomori Rico)

    Any suggestions here? don't mind to take a hit

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

      Jimmy to Abraham maybe though would be tempted to hold as Jimmy has decent fixture GW18

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I have Abraham (Tammy)

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

          Doh! Would hold then.

          1. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years

            Cheers mate and GL

    Well done to the manager of the week in fpl

    Some people play the game differently from others. He tools massive hit but maybe that's how he likes to play the game

    Who are people to say what is the right and wrong way to play the game?! Just because there are some people's lives who revolves around fpl and they are too scared to take hits doesn't mean everyone should be judged the same

    So he might have multiple accounts. Where's the uproar when we see people posting their "cats" "dogs" "pet rats" fpl score? Or we just going to brush that under the carpet for their own agenda?

    1. Ci Siamo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      OMG

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

      One account is enough to deal with.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Except he’s not the manager OG the week. He has 79pts. It’s bullshit

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        of

      2. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I didnt know that you can write bullshit here,that is a gamechanger

      3. danlynch13
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

    4. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t ageee

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Agree even

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I had 82 points this week and beat the manager of the week due to his massive hit. Not the best example

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly

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

      Typical cheating Man City fan

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Typical, how so?

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

      Why don't they just deduct the hits for the gameweek when deciding this. I mean he scored 127 points but took a -48 hit. Surely the manger who got 120 points this week with no hits or using any chips should get the reward.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It can’t be that hard

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

        FPL doesn't do fairness or common sense

      3. Syd.

        Maybe his account was hacked?

          Wish someone would hack my account

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

      He's over 7m OR and has been playing since GW1.

    9. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      My pet rat and I like to play the game by taking the odd hit, occasionally listening to advice here, following our guts, throwing in a differential or two and generally staying in the middle of the herd so we can't get picked off.

    10. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      FPL Cup qualification is the same. My sons 1st round oppo scored 82 with a 56 pt hit, net score 26. Played his BB into the bargain.

  7. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Exact money to do Jimenez > Tammy. Yes or no ?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Y

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      the fact that you're questioning it suggests you know the answer

  8. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is it still gravatar to get a profile pic on here? I set one but doesn’t seem to show it

    1. No Professionals

      It does

        Glitch?

  9. vandebeek
    • 7 Years

    Should i make greenwood+Robertson to Rashford +4.8def (-4pts) this gw? Or hold?
    By now i have 3 pool players

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

      Hold

  10. sentz05

    I have a WC available. My squad has no injuries but could do with a bit of updating. Is there any reason I should save my wc over the next few gws?

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Walker peters is having a mare. Aurier looking like he doesn't have much to worry about if this is anything to go by

  12. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which to bench?
    a) Jimenez at home vs Spurs 3-4-3
    b) Kelly at home vs Brighton 4-4-2

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Play Raul

  13. fridge
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    Lundstram. Soyuncu. TAA
    Salah. Maddison. Alli. KDB
    Ings. Vardy. Jiminez

    Button. Tomori. Donker. Montoya

    2FT, 0.7 ITB

    A) Jiminez > Rash
    B) KDB > Son
    C) both A & B

    1. fridge
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should be Jiminez > Abraham, cant afford Rash!

  14. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you reckon that Madison to Son will pay off?

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

      Yes

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not this week

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

      Long term it will but Maddison got the better fixture this week and he should have scored lat week so I expect a goal from him this time. Wolves will be tricky for Son but the points should flow for him after that.

  15. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which move?
    (A) Perez to Alli
    (B) Perez and Jimenez to Son and Ings (-4)?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  16. fedeli11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know the status of DSilva for the next fixture?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 3 months ago

        In a relationship

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

        Pep said yesterday that "David had a huge kick in the dangerous part of his leg and it was too much of a risk to play." Guessing that makes him 50/50 for the weekend then.

    2. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Kane ➡ Rashford or save FT?

      Pope
      TAA Lundstram Soyuncu
      Mane Son Alli Mount
      Vardy Kane Abraham

      (Button, Cantwell Kelly Williams)
      1FT 0.2ITB

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        save

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      which GK to start:
      a. Pope (Home vs NEW)
      b. Ryan (Away vs poor attacking CRY)

      Pick 1 def to start:
      1. dunk (Away vs CRY)
      2. willem (away vs BUR)

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

      One of Liverpool or Man City have a good chance of getting Real or Athletico Madrid in the round if 16.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Real and especially Atletico are both eminently beatable this season. Not the threats they normally would pose. Each English club would be favored.

        • 11 Years

        Kdb/Jimmy to Maddison/Rashford is what I did

        1. JollyGoodYellows
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah that's the obvious choice. Worried city could haul against a poor arsenal but can't have them all.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

      1. CRO KLOPP

        Save

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

        Yeah, maby, but lots of rotation these days, so need A bench

    8. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Does the high % ownership of Lundstram make it far too risky to bench him, current dilemma is who to bench out of:

      1. Lundstram (AVL) have Henderson
      2. Soyuncu (NOR) have Chilwell

      ??

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lundstram

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

        Yes. Playing Lundstram will be the safe pick as he is the highest owned defender.

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

      Couldn’t resist a -4 on a dark December evening, hoping it won’t backfire.

      Hi

      In your opinion who is the best 14m DF/MF combo to have for this team for the next few GWs

      Gazzaniga Pope

      TAA Lundstram Pereira Kelly xxxxxxxx

      Mane Alli Maddison Dendoncker xxxxxxxx

      Vardy Abraham Mousset

      Any ideas would be welcomed

      Forget FPL. Lets talk about 'When They See us.' What a show, greatest i've ever seen.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        What is it about?

        1. Drip Doctor

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3F9n_smGWY

          A true story based on 'The Central Park 5'

          Honestly, its phenomenal.

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

        I need to get around to watching that but I got a lot of stuff to catch up on atm, I was surprised that it got snubbed at the Golden Globes.

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

          Make it a priority. I went into it not knowing what it was or what it was about, just needed something to watch. Turns out to be the best show i've ever seen.

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

      Is there any reason to fear Spurs assets in the Wolves game?

        Perhaps. WOL have 19 goals allowed - fifth fewest - on par with manchester united and manchester city. Then again TOT tied for the most goals scored over the last four game weeks. I guess 2-1, TOT
