    What would you do here? I’m thinking:

    Kun & Son ——> Jimenez & Mane(c) (-4)

    Ryan
    TAA-Taylor-Lunds
    Salah-Kdb-Martial-Son*
    DCL-Ings-Kun*

      Aguero out for a hit is a massive risk however the two you’re bringing in also have great fixtures, could easily go either way

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good team also mate

      Looks great - captain Mane might be fun

  3. pjanns

    Auba --> Jiminez

    What are your thoughts?
    It's either this week or next. I really can't decide.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping

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

      Wolves vs. NOR... This week of course!!

      1. pjanns
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        My thoughts aswell, and I really don't like that Auba is playing that much on the wide.

        So will probably be this week. More opinions?

  4. Bobby Digital

    Which move?

    a) Kun to Jimmy.
    b) Kelly to Boly.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      Probably 1 because of your set up

      1 or 3

  7. Bruno Bruno!!

    What to do:

    Ryan
    TAA VVD Robertson
    KDB Grealish Traore Martial
    Aubameyang Ings Jiminez

    Button Fleck Lundstram Dunk

    1FT 2.9m itb

    1. Rhodes your boat

      Bit different from the norm, Id either save ft or move Lund on

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        different from the norm in bad way?

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No, just having triple pool defence instead of mixing in salah/mane

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fleck to Maddison

  8. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    DCL to Jiminez for free?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I would, good week to make the change. Cool kids did it last week for a hit however

  9. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to Jimi or hold?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough, I’d be tempted to hold and move next week

  10. melvinmbabazi

    1. Bruno Bruno!!

      Aurier to Boly

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This or james to Traore

      2. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Looking at same, but think I prefer Aurier home to Wolves over Boly the following week.

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Richarlison, I know the fixtures seem tough but he has the stats this season.

    Plus a seeming lack of options in midfield currently makes him a good pick in my opinion.

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

      Those fixtures :/ DCL is worth the punt because he's cheap but not Rich I feel.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Have to agree with this

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

        At this stage many will have money basically just laying around. Why do you consider the fixtures so bad?

    2. Iggypop
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Some of the red fixtures Everton could easily score goals, like arsenal, man u and Chelsea!

  12. Schliegs
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more for the next 5 weeks?

    A) Richo
    B) Barnes
    C) Maddison

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

      Maddy

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably C

  13. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sitting at 437k after dropping 100k last week! Do I captain

    A) mainstream salah
    B) more of a diff mane

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      id go B

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane then

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Not much between them.. They prob score the same on avg anyway.

    Thoughts on the following for a -4:

    Auba > DCL
    Grealish > Mane

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      No way...

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen

      Nope

    3. Rhodes your boat

    Flip a coin between B & D ?

    1. Rhodes your boat

      B more exciting than D in my eyes but both solid moves

    2. Old Man Willow

  17. _Ninja_

    Should i double up and play Henderson (with Stevens) or play Pope?

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Feels like it’s been years since I considered an Arsenal defender but what about Bellerin? Good form and fixtures. Worth a punt?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      After GW 28 of course

    2. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

      Wait some more years

    8.41 expected goals conceded (xGC) by Liverpool over the last ten Gameweeks, a period that has seen the Reds record nine clean sheets and ship only one goal. Chelsea‘s xGC (8.00) is actually better than Jurgen Klopp’s side’s over the same period but the Blues have conceded on 12 occasions and registered just two shut-outs.

    This is proof that fpl is a lot of luck

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      or a big difference in goalkeepers.

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pure presence of Alisson puts players off. Stats don't show that

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This
        and they usually go for much harder shots

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The xG table does make interesting reading but as Berbs points out it doesn’t factor in the goalkeeper

      Saiss

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years

        Is he not a rotation risk with dendoncker now though?

        1. Mouldmaster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I didn’t think so. Tonight he played back in the back 3 which maybe raises a risk, but up until now he’s been further forward.

          His stats are better than Boly in last two but also understand the Boly pic. He is very trendy round here and does get bonus points.

  30. pavlev
    • 13 Years

    Traore coming off early, so he should now start right?

    1. kamdaraji

      yeah
