The draws for the third round of the FFS Members Cup and the fourth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 17.

We’re down to the final 128 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after last weekend’s games.

FFS CUP

The results from the third round of the open-to-all 2019/20 FFS Cup are available by clicking here.

The fourth round draw in full can be accessed here.

No former champions remain in the FFS Cup, with ex-winner A Manager Has No Name bowing out after a narrow 71-69 defeat to CMJC.

FPLchewitt, the only manager in the third round draw who was ranked inside the top 1k before the Gameweek 17 deadline, exited the tournament after a comprehensive 94-45 loss to DARK.

A new entrant inside the top 1,000 lives to fight enough another day, though: Yemop squeaked past Gilderoy Knockaert 68-67 and moves to 971st in the world in the process.

Doos11 was unlucky to fall at this latest hurdle, having been defeated by TOMYG84 despite scoring 85 points – his opponent having a superb Gameweek in accumulating a score of 98.

On the mods’ front, Rotation’s Alter Ego fell 72-61 to Aragorn but G-Whizz progressed by defeating Egg Fried Reus 65-61.

In the fourth round, there will be an all-top 10k clash between Limit80 and Delaware Rovers.

Emm7980‘s opponent, pricewise987, appears to have had their account deleted (at the time of writing).

Our highest-ranked manager, Yemop, will take on NielsvanDelft, while our lowest-ranked FPL boss, Ujjwal, faces Dreaming Of Irene.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The scores from the second round of the 2019/20 FFS Members Cup are available by clicking here.

The third round draw in full can be accessed here.

There will be a new name on the FFS Members Cup this season, with former champions rrcmc and Waltzingmatildas having both fallen to 69-65 defeats to TorresMagic and Scubasmithy respectively.

Two members of the top 1k (one a new entry) have progressed to the round-of-128.

frankiem, ranked at 104th, beat Campo72 by 77 points to 57.

ActorJeff edged past Jeremy T after 72-all draw, with the former’s higher rank (606th) seeing him through.

One Fantasy manager hit a century in Gameweek 17 to make it to the third round.

Why Always Me leapt from the 150k mark to 29,531th in the world after a score of 100 points, which was more than enough to see off gaetandb.

In round three, the only manager left outside of the top one million, spadecooley, takes on bfg13destroyer.

ActorJeff and frankiem‘s rewards for their victories are ties against Pseto and PepRoulette.

    Start 2 and captain one:

    Kelly montoya tielemans

    KDB rash?!

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Kelly Montoya

      Rashy

  2. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Hello fellas, how can you improve this team?

    Pope
    Aurier Kelly Lundy
    Son Alli Grealish Maddison KDB
    Vardy Rashford

    Mousset TAA Hanley

    Would you do

    1) Maddison > Richarlison
    2) Mousset > Jota/Jimi and bench Maddison
    3) Keep the same team.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      3 or 1 if you're feeling lucky

      Im hopeful for siggy resurgence

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Do you think Maddison will do well against City and Pool next 2? Scored in the reverse Pool fixture.

  3. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Case for going without for Christmas. Dont panic hear me out. (Only for the mavericks)

    Liverpool fixtures GW18-21
    ************************
    Gw18 / Blank

    Gw19:- Leicester / Toughest defence in league

    Gw20:- WOL / High probability of rest as liverpool play woves exactly 2 days, 20 hours 30 minutes after Leicester clash

    - Gw21:- SHU / 2nd best defence in the league that Liverpool could face

    - Add to this long trip to Qatar and a healthy 10 point lead means a Mane rest is on the cards which is most likely to be gw20.

    - A spurs midfeild double up of Son/Alli + KDB Grealish is too hard to ignore for Christmas which means sacrificing Mane is the solution

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Ive got 3.8m in the bank incase this plan backfires. (swap out either either Son or Alli)

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah sound sensible, who else would you look at apart from those 4 mids?

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Richarlison and Zaha are decent punts as well if your looking for a Pulisic replacement.

        But if your going to replace Mane has to be with someone reliable like Son Alli or even Sterling

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I'm thinking the same and doing the same by bringing in Kane for Mané but have a plan to get Salah/Mané back in by GW 22

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Leaning towards salah in a couple of gws time who looked at his mercurial best against watford

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Agreed on Salah and relative to Mané a huge differential.

    4. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I like it, ive gone with Richarlison personally with 4.6ITB. I think i'll just see how things pan out, with the Leicester game and decide wether i want Salah or Mane back in for Wolves. Could base it off minutes played in Qatar and Leicester.

    5. Jullepuu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Feels scary to be a maverick. My OR is now 32k and I expect it to be 10k or 200k if I don't get a Pool mid back soon enough.
      I guess it's not that bad because people won't be captaining Pool players

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Exactly plus mane wont play gw18 and highly probably get a rest in gw20

        Why keep a 12m player that wont play 2 games in next 3. You could make some good ground by doubling up with spurs mids

        1. Jullepuu
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I did for a hit though and that worries me a lot lol

    6. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Not sure why I find it so interesting that City also play those 3 teams next.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Well city dont blank in gw18 and im not going to sell kdb after 19 point haul.

        Main taking point here is doubling up on spurs mid with Son and Alli at the expense of Mane. (While keeping money itb to revert incase plan backfires)

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I'm not disagreeing! It's just an interesting quirk of the fixture list.

    7. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Was gonna do that, but realised front 7 of: Mane, Son, Alli, KDB, Grealish, Vardy, Rash/Tammy is possible - so may be try to see if you can fit them in first?

    8. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Since when do we need to look at fixtures for our liv assets?

  4. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Alli or Son for captain this week? Have both

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Alli

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Son

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Alli

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Alli (c) and i have both

    5. Wrong Captain Again
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Alli

  5. Laurel and Vardy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Start one (the other will be first sub):

    A) Pulisic (tot)
    B) Cantwell (WOL)

    Thanks.

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      B

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      A

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        A

  6. Ojpsan1
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Greenwood - > Rashford for - 4 worth it?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yes if you dont have any other viable bench starter

      1. Ojpsan1
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Dendo coming in

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Greenwood may play a part in the next few. But yeah.

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No

  7. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Do. Not. Lose. TAA.

    Just have a decent cover

    You have been warned

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      110%. So risky to go without

      Arguably the highest ceiling in the game, if not in the history of FPL

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        You're the man

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Surely Peter Crouch had the highest ceiling 😉

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          If Peter Crouch's ceiling was high, TAA's is the Sistene Chapel 🙂

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Scary

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Indeed, fellow 14/15 overachiever 😉

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I wouldve been 1digit if one of Ramsey 2shots as a substitute in the last 10min hadnt hit the framework, but gone in in GW38.

          Was a strange end to an amazinh season

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            I owned rambo that day. Gave me a nice green arrow in the end

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Reason? CS's are the butter and bread for any defender, and Pool aren't getting those atm.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Playing like KDB from FB

        Enough said

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          He's been playing like that from the start of the season, and yesterday's assist won't change the fact that they are not keeping cleanies. I think if you can use the extra cash better somewhere else there there is a case of downgrading.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            GL with that. Rico kelly lund soy ings..so many cheapos so no big worry for $$ elsewhere

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Just 74 points. Enough said

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Don't be greedy

    4. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Lol you do realise people can just buy him back whenever they want right?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Yes. Sell him and you risk losing his 15-pointer

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Isn't that the same with any player though??

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Nope

            1. BigBillyBass
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 28 days ago

              How is it any different to selling say KDB, Sterling or Aubameyang???

              1. altan8797
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 28 days ago

                its not 😀

              2. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 13 Years
                6 years, 28 days ago

                7.3 is still value for his style of play and points potential. Baines n coleman used to be priced at 7.5

                Those premium u mentioned need to deliver more consistently at that price

                1. BigBillyBass
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 28 days ago

                  Alright then, I'll rephrase that. How is it any different to selling Pulisic, Abraham or Jimenez?

                  1. NABIL - FPL otai
                    • 13 Years
                    6 years, 28 days ago

                    You almost got me there

                    Imo TAA is more explosive than those you mention now, just that jimmy can be super consistent, but still not one for an armband.

            2. altan8797
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 28 days ago

              how so?

    5. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Ditched after GW11 and haven't looked back. Too many bargain defenders offering similar output.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Your luck is running out

        1. AuFeld
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Sounds like I need to take the dust off my crystal ball.

    6. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I'm in 1st place in my ML without having TAA so far while most of my opponents have him. Just gotta spend the cash wisely, no player is a 'must' imo.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Well done. Risky move though

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Fwiw 1st place in ML is nothing at this stage unless the rest are crap

  8. Nailed Jesus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Bench Gazza (CHE) or McCarthy (avl)?
    And Pulisic (tot) or Targett (SOU)?

  9. BigBillyBass
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Any changes? Or G2G?

    Guaita (Pope)
    Aurier Lund Rico Kelly
    Son(c) Alli KDB
    Vardy Rash Mousset

    Bench: Tielemans Soy Mane

    1. Ojpsan1
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Looks good

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      G2g, Mousset has been a liability though.

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers. Yup he's my only weak link and on last chance saloon against Brighton.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Have him as well, and concerned he may not even start. I am benching atm.

          1. BigBillyBass
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Yeah absolute waste of space

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 28 days ago

              Watched the last 1/2 Sheffield games, and he was quite poor. Very frustrating to watch when owning.

              1. BigBillyBass
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 28 days ago

                🙁

                1. ZeBestee
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 28 days ago

                  Think if he starts, he has a decent chance of returning, albeit a single one. The issue is whether he will get a start.

                  1. BigBillyBass
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 28 days ago

                    Well one thing's for sure, no way he starts all 4 games over the festive period.

  10. Joe_Carman
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    lads what do you think of my starting 11 for this GW, given the lpool blanks?

    0ft, 1.2itb
    pope
    kelly, rico, lundstrum
    cantwell, mount, KDB, alli
    tammy, ings, vardy
    subs: button, soy, TAA, mane

    thoughts on:
    1) soy or rico in def?
    2) captaincy? i'm leaning towards KDB atm
    3) happy to take a 4 point hit if there's a worthwhile transfer to make, what dya reckon?

  11. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Cup guy has Ginho, Boldrick and Tarkowski.

    Could be interesting.

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    How about Chilwell+Mane to Targett+Alli.
    And then next GW upgrade Zaha to Mane, leaving me with an attack of:

    Alli-Son-Mane-Martial
    Rashford-Vardy-Jimenez

  13. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Any of these worth -4 chaps?

    A) Mane Mousset ➡ Kane(c) Grealish

    B) Mane Mousset ➡ Jimmy Son (c)

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      A is better long term, and a big differential.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        A.

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        A may bite hard though, as Jimi and Son are 'proven' this season.

    Taylor should 'get sm minutes.'
    Surely Dyche doesnt see the next game as a friendly where he can just bring on the injured ones

  15. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Would you rather A or B in a spurs triple up with Son + Alli?
    A)Kane + Willems
    B) Aurier + Rashford

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      B

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      A. Purely because I'm not sold on Rashford. Abraham or Jiminez for me ahead of him.

      1. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        I'm not sold on Rashford either, but im just wary Kane, Alli, Son could be overkill no ?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Definitely, 3 pigs swilling from the same points trough.

          There's Jimenez, Vardy, Ings, Abraham and probably other alternatives to Kane or Rashford though.

    3. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      B. Triple up in attack way too much

  16. OBAMA
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    I'm thinking...

    Trent + Ings -> Kelly and Rashford (2FT)

    Thoughts??

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Think it's good, though I would be reluctant on loosing Ings with Villa next.

  17. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Why do I see a lot of people ditching Mané instead of TAA ? Liverpool have more chances of scoring goals than keeping clean sheets in the next few games, and TAA isn't a captain option like Mané. + with downgrading TAA to a 4.5/5.0 def you can pretty much afford any mid you're missing (KDB, Son, Alli, Martial, Grealish, etc.).

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I'm bringing Mane/Salah back in it's just for this week, cause he's replacement is Dendoncker.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        His*

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Agree completely, but I wanted Alli and selling TAA wasn't enough to fund that in my team, so it had to be Mane.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        So you have a power attack I guess ? With Kane ? Or juste Rashford+Vardy+Tammy ?

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          442 with Rashford + Vardy. Thought I'd sell TAA and use the funds to switch to 352 with Alli as the 5th mid, but it wasn't enough.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I sold but with a plan to get back (or Salah) in the new year. He has tricky fixtures between now and new year and could well be rested in one of the home games against wolves or Sheffield United.

      Am gambling that Richarlison (ARS, BUR, new) and Kane (BHA, nor, sot) outscore Mané (lei, WOL, SHU) and Jimenez (MCI, liv, wat).

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Just remind me of the "ditching Kane over xmas" strategy by Jay Egersdorff two years ago. Mané and Salah are still the 3rd and 4th top scorers in the game, I think it doesn't matter who they play. And to prevent rotation risk it's not switch your big hitters that works but having a strong bench imo.

        Still your bet on Kane+Richi looks good on paper. But if Mané outscore Kane when he'll be a huge captaincy pick in GW20-21, it could damage your rank. And it costs a lot of transfers to bet against Mané. Not sold on it, really, but GL.

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I suppose the question to ask is the risk of rotation going to be similar for players like Kane/Son/Dele?

          Liverpool have the CWC which adds 2 matches onto their schedule (WHU game will be re-arranged) whereas Spurs aren't in that competition. Liverpool just played a League Cup game (well their U23s did) while Spurs have been out of the competition for months.

          Spurs' less intensive schedule and tighter premier league battle (Liverpool have a huge lead and can drop points) means less rotation for their best assets (Son/Dele/Kane) than Mane/Salah/Firmino in my humble opinion

          1. tafrère
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Surely Liverpool who haven't won the title for ages and suffered dramatic comebacks in recent years aren't thinking that "they can drop points".

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 28 days ago

              They rested key players (Salah and Firmino) in the Merseyside derby and then rested Mané the following game against Bournemouth. Klopp is acutely aware of the risks of burnout to his key players and his team selection yesterday, benching Firmino, Mane and TAA, alluded to this further.

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Each to their own I guess. Bon chance!

  18. Bagayokeso
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Pope
    Lundstram/Soy/Willems/Rico
    KDB/Alli/Mount
    Vardy/Abraham/Rashford
    Bench: Button/Mane/TAA/Saka

    Good to go?

    0FT 0.2 ITB

    1. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yes

  19. andres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    how about Madds, Manne to Grealish, KDB (-4)?

    getting salah in later anyway.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Keep KDB, bring in Grealish for Maddison, for free.

      1. andres
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        can do one easily.

        I don't have KDB, wanted to bring him in!

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Mane > KDB is the one if you don't want a hit. Cheers.

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Sorry, g2g.

    Wildcarding gameweek 20 - Latest possible time
    What is the best team possible for this?

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      i was planning GW20, but 48 hours is hardly enough time to find a good team your happy with in my opinion, iv'e moved this GW

      1. KINGVIZO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        I was tempted but no Liverpool made it a struggle. I thought this team looked decent and takes advantage of Man C good fixtures.

        Heaton Pope
        Rico Kelly Lundy Aurier Dunk
        Sterling/Salah KDB Son/Alli Martial
        Vardy Greenwood Ings

        What do people think??

  21. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Any thoughts on Otamendi ? Is he nailed or soon to be a bench player again ?

    I think he could be the real 5m def to bring in instead of Aurier.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No.

    2. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He's not nailed imo, especially at that time of the year. Aurier is clearly a better option with a better attacking potential

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Going for Aurier myself, but Ota looks good when he plays, with attacking threat and just imagine if City goes on a run with full clean sheets like last year...

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          They had Kompany and Laporte last year and Fernandinho in his best position.

          1. tafrère
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            True.

  22. WDT
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Any defenders worth a -4 this weekend? Already own Rico & Lundstram.

    Struggling to see any others to bring in who’s justify a -4..

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I don't think so tbh.

  23. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Who would you rather have over next 3 gameweeks.

    A. Grealish
    B. Maddison
    C. Zaha

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Grealish but 4 yellows is a worry.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        He's sound if not booked before GW20. Threshold moves to 10 then.

    2. KINGS
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      ACB

  24. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Keep going round in circles with my ideas and transfer thoughts for this week?
    Any ideas? 2 FT's 0.0m itb

    Ryan
    Soyuncu,Rico,Lundstrum
    Son,KDB,Maddison,Cantwell
    VArdy,Jimenez,Mousett

    Button,Mane,TAA,Robertson

    Willing to ship one or two Pool.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Why move them if you've 11 starters?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        2 Free transfers.
        Dont want double Pool defence going forward.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Sell Robertson. I'm not sure I want TAA when cleansheets are like hen's teeth.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Yeh I think Robbo goes for sure.Then bench Soy

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Sticking with Mousset?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Had thoughts of changing him to Kane or Rashford.
        Its either that or bench him and take out my Pool defenders to fund Cantwell > Alli or Rich

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Cantwell and Robbo can be moved imo. Aurier (or Vert perhaps?) has great fixtures after Chelsea and Grealish can be a Cantwell replacement.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Yeh thats an option. or Aurier/Kelly and Traore

        Traore easier to bench than Grealish.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah, also Traore loves playing against the big boys. 😀

  25. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Couple of yes or no questions:

    1) Since I'm doubtful of Pulisic's replacement, should I just save FT? :/

    2) Drop Pereira?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yes
      No

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Pereira had just 1 attacking return in the last 10 games, how do you justify owning a 6.5m def that is less an attacking threat than some 5m def ?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I think he will do well against City, that's my gut feeling. But yeah, he is droppable.

        2. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I dont really have problem with his returns, pretty consistent. (5.4ppg)

          Just not sure about his future prospect.

    2. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No

      Yes

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No.
      For who?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Will be Rico I guess

    4. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yes
      Depends if funding something else.

  26. KINGVIZO
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    How does this look for game week 20 WC? Cheap defence but rotates amazingly...

    Heaton Pope
    Rico Kelly Lundy Aurier Dunk
    Sterling KDB Son/Alli Maddison
    Vardy Greenwood Ings

    Then swap sterling to Salah somewhere after gameweek 25...

    Please let me have your honest thoughts. Thanks in advance all!!

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Defense is okay, attack is poor.

      Not keen on Sterling and Ings.

      1. KINGVIZO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        who would you change? are you in a similar boat to me?

        1. tafrère
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Doesn't have my WC, but when I see Sterling stats this year... He's just not clicking imo.

  27. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Is it a bad idea to take a hit get Grealish for Mane and bench Baldock?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Do you have plans for the extra cash it would provide?

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        In next GWs, Wud get Salah for Dendoncker and greenwood of Jimenez and shift to 352

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      It's not a good one, for me.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      These are the kind of transfers I'm not a massive fan of myself just because you're taking a hit to bench someone with a decent fixture.

      That being said I took a -8 to bench Dendoncker and Soyuncu and kept Mane! 😉

      1. KINGVIZO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Hi Andy - any advice would be great....

        Heaton Pope
        Rico Kelly Lundy Aurier Soy
        Sterling KDB Son Alli MAddison
        Vardy Greenwood Jimenez

        How does this look for GW 20 WC?

    4. ppv
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 28 days ago

      If you don't want Mane why not? Grealsh great fixtures and Salah better than Mane imo

  28. Free Hat
    • 6 Years

    Looking at some of the transfers&cpts here.
    A 0-1 chelsea win from a Mount goal would definitely hurt.

    Just can't decide my mane replacement for two gw's. Sterling and Son? Views?

    Some factors i am considering:
    - Sterling has LEI, wolves whilst Son has CHE,BRI
    - I would def prefer captaining sterling in gw18 but son in gw19;
    - Have Kdb and Alli so depends which double up i want. On paper, city is far more attacking than Jose's spurs

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years

      The One with the 2 home games and least chance of getting rested.
