    So Olympiakos needs to win for there to be a Arsenal dgw?

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Two draws can be fine as well (and Arsenal enjoy those)

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I don't want that DGW 29 so have been an Arsenal fan for just over a half of football.

      No wonder they are always so irrate.

    Who to start and what bench order?

    Wood, lascellas, Stephens, Hayden

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

      Start 1

  3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Classic random Jota. Shame he is such a rotation risk

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

      Earlier today i looked at his minutes and stats last few games. Came to the conclusion he will score soon but too unpredictable.

  4. Easy Cheesy

    Is Saiss nailed? Any chance he would get rotated?

    1. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks nailed. Can’t afford Boly I presume?

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Got boly. Thinking double wolves

        1. Reiger
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Bold! I like it!

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’d say so

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

      Not sure to be honest. Would prefer not to bring in if unsure but could work..

    4. Bob B
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dendoncker at CB is an option. If I was going for the double (triple with Jimenez), I'd go Doherty and Boly.

  5. pjanns

    GTG or do the transfer?
    1 FT 0ITB

    A. Auba --> Jiminez

    Ryan
    TAA - Williams - Boly
    Mane - KDB - Martial - Salah (C)
    Ings - DCL - Auba

    (Button - Soy - Dendo - Reid)

    1. Lignja
      • 6 Years

      I think Jimenez just got inyured

      1. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No, he didn't

  6. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy out for ...

    a) Jimenez
    b) Calvert Lewin
    c) Other

    I already have Aguero and Ings

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Easy a

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

      If you just get rid of Vardy then A)

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

      Seen his fixtures after City?

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Vardy, fixtures turn after this gw.

    5. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ditch Kun... Vardy, Ings, Jimi is the premier front line

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

        Had that for months 😉

  7. jimmyabs1987

  8. StoichkovFPL

    Adama and RAÚL both off early which is good - defence looking great since boly return

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Perfect 3 Wolves there.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          It says on commentary on FlashScore he came off injured!

        You a parrot?

    3. Hazz

      Espanyol are bottom of La Liga!

  10. ZAWAd25
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Just did DCL to Jimi. How’s this looking?

    Ryan
    TAA VVD O'Connell
    Salah(C) KDB Dilva Richarlison
    Jiménez Ings Vardy

    (Lundstram Cantwell Rico) gtg?

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Bear in mind blanks for GW28

  11. Ritchies Magic Hat
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Traore or Martial?

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. Was tempted to downgrade Martial>Traore to afford Jimmy. Depends if you need the funds elsewhere.

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

    If Jimenez is injured.....,

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

      He’s not. It’s bullshit

  13. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal actually spent 50m on a striker (Laca) who’s no better than Olivier Giroud 🙁

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lol 😀

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They should just play Auba there instead.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah definitely. We’re wasting a world class striker for Laca. Front 3 should be Pépe, Auba, Martinelli with Ozil feeding them.

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

      Almost a 2nd for Laca

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Boom Saka Laca!

  15. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pereira has 5 goals, 10 assists in the Prem since he joined last season. That's pretty damn impressive.

    Anyone else got their eye on him for Leicester's good run of fixtures?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No. Only attacking returns in 1 from last 11 games.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        His haul was only a couple of weeks ago. I think he could do well with the easier fixtures coming up.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not seeing the same upside you are but I prefer form to fixtures. He's definitely a quality player so hopefully he gets plenty of attacking returns and some cleansheets for you.

  16. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Jota essential !

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

    Jota hattie

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal miss 2 big chances to put the tie to bed.

  19. Vpan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone considering Ward as a cheap defender or Palace is too light in defense now?

    1. Ritchies Magic Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I am actually. Have a feeling they could have more clean sheets than other cheap options (from Newcastle, Soton) over the next few

  20. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best move here? 1 FT and 4.0 ITB. I know KDB just hauled but the blank and tough games make Mane look a better option given his games IMO.

    A KDB > Mane
    B Grealish & TAA > Mane & Gomez for hit
    C Other suggestion?

    Guaita
    TAA / Williams / Lund
    Salah / Grealish / KDB / Traore
    Vardy / Jimi / Ings

    Button / Webster / Cantwell / Holgate      

    1. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TAA out for a hit?! Just take Williams or Lund out for Robbo.

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

      Keep De Bruyne. Bench him, Grealish and Lundstram for GW28.

  21. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This worth a bb or hang on for dgw?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Boly
    Salah KDB Rich Grealish
    Vardy Jime Ings

    McCarthy Traore Stevens Lascelles

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer DGW but decent bench

  22. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    Laca Blood clot Zette.

  23. migas2k7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Strugling to choose betewn martial or bruno....

    Why should i pick one over the other? Any opinions out there?

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Haven't seen enough of Bruno to make the call but seems decent if going by replies on here. That said Martial still there main striker. Either option probably fine.

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

    Gentle reminder than Espanyol are 20th in La Liga.

  25. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    People saying Jiminez injured.

    This true?

    1. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      ‘People’ no one person, and no he isnt injured

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

        The parrot !!

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

      No I think it’s rubbish. No mention of it in the commentary. Just says subbed. If people are making it up, it’s a bit sad really..

    4. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No hes fine, just someone being stupid

      1. PompeyUpNorth!

      Not watching the game so I don't know if it's true or not. But this quote is from flashscore.com:
      "The referee signals that it is time for a substitution and Pedro Neto (Wolves) is coming onto the pitch as Raul Jimenez cannot continue after picking up an injury."

    6. Lignja
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did not saw game but flash score say he left after picking up injury and cannot continue

    7. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    8. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Flash score does say he was subbed due to injury o double checked that. I’ve never used flash score so I’ve no idea how reliable it is.

  26. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A. DCL>Jimmy & downgrade mid or Robbo to afford
    B. Kelly>Lascelles/Taylor (Kelly dropping tonight and extra player GW28)
    C. Lundy>Boly (extra player GW28)

    (2FTs & zero in bank)

    McCarthy
    Robbo, TAA, Rico
    Salah, Martial, KDB, Bergw
    Vardy, Ings, DCL
    Gazza, Lundy, Dendo, Kelly

    1. Ritchies Magic Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Out of those I’d probs do C and play Boly over Rico

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. Would probably be starting Lundy instead of Rico.

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B or c. I’d play lund if you are keeping him. He is either back in the team or fully out of it based on whether he gets selected imho. Can’t do more to get back in than score the winner last week

      1. Sloane426
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What are you chatting about? He always gets subbed on

      2. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. You would think scoring the winner would help but not convinced he will start.

  27. One More Hit
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    We look so much more secure at the back with Boly having returned.

    Jota is scoring for fun in the Europa too.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. One More Hit

          Three CS in a row since Boly returned (Man Utd, Leicester and now Espanyol).

            Not exactly stellar opponents at the moment. Not hating on Boly, he's a baller. Just tempering things!

    2. GreennRed

      Jim

  30. Hitmonlee

    • 5 Years

    Think I might go Jota over Jimi. He always turns up at the end of a season
