    Need to take Son out who for?
    A) Martial

    1. JBG

      Martial or Fernandes if you want a bigger punt.

    GTG? Half tempted to play Grealish over Vardy but doesn't feel right. Have a FT but rolling subject to late injuries.

    McCarthy
    TAA / Stevens / Egan
    Salah (C) / Mane (VC) / KDB / Traore
    Vardy / Jimi / Ings

    Button / Grealish / Lascelles / Rico

    1. JollyGoodYellows

      Like it a lot. Save your FT.

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ta mate, right to bench Greal?

    2. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gtg. If Traore plays 90min tonight, I would consider playing Grealish instead

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Ta, thx for the input mate.

      Still debating whether my team will look like yours with my 2 FT. Still deciding whether to do

      Auba + Aurier -> Jimi + Robbo
      or
      Auba + Son -> Jimi + Mane (only difference would then be different 4.5 Defs compared to yours)

      Just worried the Pool forwards will be rotated more (depends if they get to next round of cup of course)

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not too worried about rotation yet, Klopp isn't too bad for it. I think it will come a bit later in the season. But Robbo is a good move too and and I'd be happy to get rid of Aurier, Spuds are a mess defensively and he is rash and liable to get booked or worse. He is good going forward but they have even less people to get on the end of his crosses now.

  5. JollyGoodYellows

    What to do here guys? No wolves worries me. 2FTs 0.4itb:

    Henderson (Button)

    DCL to Jimi would be nice with form and fixtures, not sure where to free up the cash though. How much do you have in Lund?

  8. Wiz
    • 10 Years

    Who do you reckon is on pens for United? Martial or Fernandes?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Fernandes

    McCarthy
    Soy / TAA / VVD / Rico / Aurier

    1 FT (0,1£ ITB)

    A) Son --> Traore
    B) Son --> Pepe
    C) Son --> Martial
    D) Son --> Other?

    1. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A or C. Tough. Traore may get rotated with EL back.
      Do you fancy Ward-Prowse?

      1. arkom
        • 7 Years

        Nah, not really 🙂

    Not sure what to do with that team, but Alli was so poor yesterday that I won’t be surprised if he benched vs Chelsea.

    1ft,0.1itb
    1)If I save, which 2 would you play from those?
    A) Grealish
    B) Alli
    C) Maddison

    2) All above is rubbish, use a ft
    A) Alli-> Traore
    B) Alli-> Martial/Bruno
    C) Alli-> Ward-Prowse
    D) Kelly->Taylor/Saiss and play either

    On a wildcard. Current rank 340k. Hows it looking?

    Pope
    Stephens VD Saiss
    KDB Salah Mane Traore
    Ings Vardy Jiminez

    Bench Button Cantwell Hanley Lascelles

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No TAA on a Wildcard?

      1. texastoffee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I figure VVD will keep close and had to fund salah mane kdb. Tired of hovering in the 300's and looking to make a calculated push.

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

          VVD only 1 attacking Return the last 12 matches

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Hmm still feels as if that's something that'll make your rank drop rather than rise.

          If Pool keep keeping CSs you're kettled, as fairly defence EO probably over 100.

          If Pool lose the CS, TAA still has attacking threat (more so than VVD).

          It's a big bet on Mané.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I say all this as a TAA and VVD owner btw.

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not fearing another 20 pointer, end of season!

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

      I don't see the appeal in Southampton defence personally, worst home record in the league. You've already used bench boost, right?

      1. texastoffee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Only have .1 ITB. Stephens, Lascelles, and Hanley will be duking it out in the short run for the 3rd spot. Will look to downgrade Vardy potentially if I need to strengthen D or mid in a couple weeks. Still have BB.

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

          Bench looks very weak considering you'll wanna BB it at some point, I'd want a second playing keeper in now.

  13. George James
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considering Armstrong? Decent stats and nailed with Redmond out?

    1. CAPA
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes! Just thinking of him as a replacement for Maddison who I’ve had 1 return from
      In last 10.

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

    The Barca signing of Braithwaite is absolutely ridiculous, Leganes are screwed now.

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

      It is an unfair rule. Just moves the problem on to the next team. Would be funny if Leganes applied for permission to buy a player and used the release clause to get Braithwaite back

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

        Don't think they even can apply, they don't have an injury, it's completely unfair.

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who do I bench.
    K D B Traore Salah Martial Grealish
    Ings Vardy Jimmy.

    1. Mata of opinion
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      In a similar situation. Iv gone for Grealish

    2. mdm
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Traore

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

      Yuck - Grealish, Traore or Vardy ....

      .... but you know it’ll go badly

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

    Robertson’s attacking returns: 1 goal and 6 assists this season is not bad, but 1 assist last 13 games isn’t very attacking.

    VVD only 1 attacking Return the last 12 matches, A goal, but still, worth the price difference over Gomes?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Robbo unlucky not to get more attacking returns

  17. The Prophet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lads, are we positive that Mane isn’t injured after being dragged off the other night before I do Son -> Mane??

    Sorry if this has been made obvious, not had time to read all posts.

  18. Fred54

    Eriksen and Lukaku both scored tonight. Ed Woodward is really delivering it for Mourinho's Man Utd.

    #Up the Red Devils

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

      What does Eriksen have to do with anything?

  19. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Patricio decided to make the game interesting there

  20. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here?

    Hendo
    TAA Robbo Egan
    Salah KDB Son Fleck
    Kun Ings Wood

    McCarthy Taylor Lascelles Hayden (1ft .1m itb)

    Thinking of doing Kun, Son -> Jim, Martial (-4)?

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

      Son Wood to Martial Jimmy affordable?

  21. mdm
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start two from:

    A. Aurier (che)
    B. Lund (BHA)
    C. Rico (bur)
    D. Soy (MCI)

    Thanks.

    Dendoncker - how nailed is he in the league?

    I’m in a spot of bother if he doesn’t play GW28

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

      Not nailed at all unfortunately, seems to play now if one of Neves or Moutinho are rested.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks - will have a tricky decision in GW28 whether to -4 or not then!

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

          I'll be playing him too if I don't WC, he might be rotated in with EL minutes, he's a max of 3 points anyway, probably 1 or 2.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You know what to do.

  23. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Next two weeks thinking of Webster, Son and Ayew
    To
    Robbo, Saka and Jimmy

    Saka 5th mid in a 3 4 3

    Leaves me with..

    Ryan
    Robbo TAA Soyuncu
    Salah Mahrez KDB Traore
    Ings Auba Jimmy

    McGovern Saka Lundy Holgate

    And a wildcard and all 3 chips intact!

    Decent moves?

  24. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Fleck on the bench atm but if Traoré goes 90 mins tonight would you play fleck and bench Traoré ?

  25. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Baldock Lundy
    Salah KDB Traoré
    Vardy Jiminez Ings

    Button Son Cantwell Rico

    Main moves I would like to do are Ramsdale to Pope, Lundy to Boly and obviously Son out (Fernandes?) but is anything worth a -4?

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

    Martial or Bruno, need to choose one?

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma here

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martial.

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Bruno on all set pieces

  27. Johnny Drama
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford-Stek
    TAA-Robbo-Aurier-Egan-Williams
    Salah-KDB-Alli-Cantwell-D.Luiz
    Auba-Jimi-DCL

    1 FT. 0.0itb.

    Should I:

    A) Use my FT on a new goalie
    B) Do DCL & Alli to Ings & Barnes

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      The latter for a hit, of course.

  28. frenchfries
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    See alot of Richarlison for picks this week. Only thing putting me of is the tough fixtures. Is he really fixtureproof?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No... but then none of the other options in the price bracket are particularly enticing

  29. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is starting Lascelles (cry) over Williams (WAT) correct decision or should I reverse?

  30. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    which combo would you prefer for the next 2 gameweeks?:
    A) gw27 - boly (NOR) + gw28 - taylor (new) WITH A HIT (-4)
    or
    B) gw27 - targett (sou) + gw28 - rico (CHE)
