    Thoughts on the following for a -4:

    Auba > DCL
    Grealish > Mane

    Opinions appreciated

      Looks good to me

      Can you get Robbo or VVD with 1 FT?

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

      Keep Aubs this week

    4. One Man
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't be bringing in DCL right now. If you have Salah you don't need mane.

    Evening all, play two of this lot (not got Jiminez if that makes a difference):

    A) Egan (BHA)
    B) Traore (NOR)
    C) Murray (shu)
    D) Lascelles (cry)
    E) Cantwell (wol)

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

      A, B for sure

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

      First two

  3. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    GTG for GW27?

    Ryan
    TAA Stephens O'Connell
    Salah Mane KdB Grealish Cantwell
    Kun Deeney

    Sub: Button Soy Greenwood Simpson

    1 FT & 0.3 ITB

    Grealish and Deeney swap to Traore and Ings sounds a good plan?

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

      No hits mm'kay?

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do it now then, - 4. Have 1FT only

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

    Captain Salah, Mané or TAA?

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

      Salah says the poll

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

    3. ZTF
      • 9 Years

      Cheers

    4. jimmy.floyd

      Mo

    5. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me

  5. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone holding Aguero for the next two despite missing one or moving him on

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

      I'd get rid

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

      I don’t own him but you need to move him on. He’ll be rested for CL

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play McCarthy(AVL) or Dubravka(cry)

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

      Mc

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mccarthy

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dubravka

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dubravka

    5. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Drub

    6. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dubravka is a better goalkeeper playing for a better defence, against a team that scores the fewest goals.

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

      Dubravka. Palace are really, really, bad at scoring goals.

    I’m bench boosting this week. There, I said it out loud.

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Considering it too, but might end up waiting until games week 31

    2. KINGS
      • 5 Years

  11. tbhogal

    Hi Guys, what are the chances of Lundstrom starting ?

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

      Somewhere around the 60/40 mark. But will be a constant rotation risk from now

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      slim

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think 60/40 for this game sounds a tiny bit pessimistic, but probably close to correct. I think he'll start but I'm not that confident about it. The rest of the season is a different story. He's played in every match he didnt start, though, so I'm not in a huge hurry to sell him.

  12. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison (MC (H)), Digne (Ars(a)) and Rico (Bur(a)) on my bench with no playing keeper. Not worth bench boosting right?

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

      yes
      save it for dgw

  13. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play one:
    A Pope
    B McCarthy

    Play one:
    1 Stephens
    2 Taylor
    3 Lascelles

    1. Ajaxeeding

    2. Bobby Digital

      B2

  14. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    First player on the bench, should I put Stephens (AVL) or Lundstram (BHA)?

    1. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens

  15. aborg
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I've seen Aguero play very relaxed and calmly against West Ham last night...he barely spent any energy.

    Does anyone who also watched the game and watch Kun play, think he will at least play 60 minutes vs Leicester ?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      not sure. if he starts will play 60 at most as you say

    2. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep him atm, and gonna keep him if there is dgw29

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

        Yes there is also possibility for DGW 29 true.

        So will you captain Aguero anyway? Not sure if I will have the guts to 🙂

  16. LSK
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do here?

    A) Digne to Robertson/VVD
    B) Lundstram to Boly/Gomez
    C) Save transfer and play this team

    McCarthy
    Trent Baldock Lundstram
    Salah (c) KDB Grealish Martial
    Vardy Jimenez Ings

    Button Digne Dunk Cantwell

    Thanks in advance

    1. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A for me.

  17. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    For GW27, Should I do Doucouré to Mané for -4? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

    Current team with 6.6 ITB and 0FTs:
    Ryan, Button
    TAA, Aurier, J. Stephens, Boly, J. O'Connell
    Salah, KdB, Grealish, Traoré, Doucouré
    Vardy, Ings, DCL

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

      Big upgrade, so why not?

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I did Dendoncker > Mane!

        1. Ajaxeeding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Did you do it for a hit?

          1. kamdaraji
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            no

        2. LSK
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Lots of rich people around, I see. I can’t even do KDB to Mane!

          1. Ajaxeeding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            True. i had taken Mané out after he got hurt with the intention of getting him back in. Just deciding if I should do it now for a hit or wait a week.

            I’m leaning towards taking the hit

      2. Ajaxeeding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just because it is for a hit. I can still field a good team on paper

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

          Think it’s worth a hit personally.

          1. Ajaxeeding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I agree. I’m going to do it.

            1. kamdaraji
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              go for it

    2. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you all for your thoughts

  18. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    With triple City, an injured Son and no playing keeper for GW28 team is a huge mess all of a sudden... will need to take a hit or two!
    What would you do with this mess below (apart from wildcarding or rage quitting)?

    *Henderson
    Trent Robbo Stephens
    *KdB *Mahrez *Son Martial
    *Aguero Jimenez Ings
    (Button Williams Hayden Cresswell)
    1FT

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years

      calm down

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm perfectly calm lol

    2. LSK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah or Mane in for Son funded by Aguero. Mahrez should play this week and KDB is a keep despite the blank

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        those are my main thoughts also, thinking Son + Kun to Mane(C) + Abraham punt (0.1 off Vardy)

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

          Sounds good. Chelsea have good fixtures coming.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate, might go with that then upgrade Hayden to Barnes/Perez the following week.

    3. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez and Son to Mané and someone else

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        considered that with Barnes but Mahrez likely plays v Leicester, not sure Kun will.

  19. leroybrown84
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    perez or barnes?!

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

    In a bit of a dilemma for GW28, in regards to transfers:

    Grealish + Fleck + Lundstram -> 3 players upto 14.2m

    Need help determining the other 3 players, already own Traore and Martial

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

      I think I'd hold on to Fleck if you can bench him and still field a team, but it seems like you'd have more money than that by selling those three.

  21. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Kun to ???

    a. Firmino
    b. Jiménez
    c. Someone else?

    Have Vardy and Ings already.

    Advice needed on which one to bench out of:
    Fleck (BHA)
    Barnes (MC)
    Traore (NOR)

    Currently benching Fleck

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not fleck. Barnes for me

      1. ct mariner
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep - Barnes has hardest opposition

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          well I'm benching Maddison (1st sub)

  25. Tolly101
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    would you play Barnes (MCI H) or Bertrand (AVL H)?

    rest of team
    Henderson
    TAA, Stevens, Boly, (Bertrand)
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, (Barnes)
    Firmino, Ings, Jimenez

    McCarthy, Mooy, Fernandez

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2ft so in a good position... Thinking Alli, Maupay to Traore, Jimenez?

    Will leave 1.1m itb to get a decent 11 for next gw?

    Hendo
    TAA Robo Stephens
    Martial Salah Alli KDB
    Vardy Maupay ings
    (Martin, Cantwell, Williams, Rico)

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

      Same thoughts here and also leaves a million. Probably then get Boly as its all 31 based

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

        Wolves putting the tie to bed is good news. Surely rest some big guns for Spurs now

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      very decent moves and Maupay has to go!

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both.

    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who to replace son with:

    1) Fernandes
    2) Grealish
    3) Martial

    Rest of team looks like this:
    Henderson / 4.0
    TAA / Gomez / O’Connell / Lascelles / Hanley
    Salah / KDB / Son* / Traore / Hayden
    Auba / Ings / Jimenez

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

      1 or 3 because of villas gw 28 blank

  29. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Selling Dilva.

    Martial
    or
    Fernandez

    Don't say Richarlisson

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

      I have Martial and I'm not sure I want him long term.
      Eyeing Pepe in GW29.

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

        me too, but need players who have games in 28.

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        so I guess you're saying Fernandez?

    2. sfsfsfe
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial is frustrating but have a higher explosion potential imo

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

        This 7-8.5 bracket is a tough one!

        1. kamdaraji
