    Bench one:

    A) Martial (WAT)
    B) Traore (NOR)
    C) Jimenez (NOR)
    D) Grealish (SOU)
    E) Ings (AVL)
    E) KDB (LEI)
    F) Vardy (MCI)

    Currently on B.

    1. Just_Ty
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would have benched D, hence I sold him on WC... but if you keep him, I'd play him

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

      Preferably none of these. Too much money on the bench for my taste, but F maybe.

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

        I bought Jimi and Traore for this week because KDB and Grealish have blanks next gw. Normally my 5th mid/3th forward is some 4.5 guy.

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

      That’s a tough one!

      D or F for me

      Think Jimi and Traore will both start as were subbed. Martial starting to score. Never bench KDB. Ings is captainable not benchable.

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

        Grealish was outstanding against Spurs so I guess I can't bench him

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

      B

    5. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B minutes is the issue he might be subbed on or off

  2. Just_Ty
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Last WC decision:
    A. Gomez - Chilwell - Lascelles
    B. Gomez - Bellerin - Fernandez
    C. VVD - Taylor - Fernandez
    D. VVD - Stephens - Lascelles

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C coz taylor plays BGW31

      1. Just_Ty
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Will probably FH in 31

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

      C

  3. j1ves
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you guys have in midfield for the foreseeable?

    A) Alli
    B) Maddison
    C) Barnes
    D) Grealish

    Thanks

    1. Just_Ty
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Out of those: C

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

      Out of those options C

    3. j1ves
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys.

      Currently on Alli but Barnes with some COB feels like a good move

      1. Just_Ty
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Seeing Spurs in UCL, I have decided to avoid them

    4. j1ves
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Now with the extra cash, I have a Vardy or Auba dilemma

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

    Son to Fernandes worth a -4?

    Or Bench Son?

    Would rather have used my transfer next week to change Ramsdale to Pope or Lundy to Boly.

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

      I think you need to remove Son.

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

        Worth a -4?

        Already on -4. Did Grealish & DCL to Son & Jimi the night before the injury

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

          Yep

  5. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you rather :

    Vardy > Jimenez (Play Lascelles, also have Lund starting atm)
    Dendoncker > Traore (Lascelles first on bench)

    1. Just_Ty
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would keep Vardy despite form (coz of fixtures), another way to fit Jimi?
      If not, second option

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

        Great fixtures after City indeed. And City might suit Vardy well with their high line and he can run in behind the defenders. Else Id have to take a hit for Jimenez.

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

      Who are your other two strikers?

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

        I have Vardy, Ings and Greenwood. Greenwood is fodder tho.

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

      Drop the dendoncker

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

        That was my original plan.

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

    Morning dzzz, Best moves here with 2FT and 1.8m itb

    Ryan
    Taa Robbo Aurier -- Lundy Rico
    Salah Grealish KDB Martial -- Stephens
    Vardy DCL Ings

    A: DCL > Jimmy
    B: Rico >> Lascelles (better gw28/31 fixture)
    C: Stephens >> 5m mid (someone who I can start in gw28)

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If you had to get in both Traore and Richarlison by gw 28, which one would you bring in this week?

    Traore has the better fixture this week but Richarlison has the bigger goal threat.

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

      Bring them both in, it's only -4

  8. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Does this look sufficient for GW31 (prefer to save FH chip for a juicy double)

    GK(tbc based on gw31 blanks)
    Boly Sidibe Tarkowski Mee
    Traore
    Jiminez DCL

    8 players total but will be more if Lpool etc have gw31 fix

    I've included Eve as I expect Spurs to best Nor in the cup so I think Eve vs Nor will be a confirmed gw31 fix

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah it looks good.
      Could do with one less Burnley defender also.

      I suspect Newcastle vs Villa could go ahead too.

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

      Like it!

      Mine is:
      Doherty Sidibe Tarkowski
      Richarlison Cantwell
      Jiminez DCL Pukki*

      *Pukki becomes Pope/Patricio if Liverpool play as that would give me 11 outfield players

  9. Gazza2000

  11. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who is the best cheap midfielder to get now that plays in BGWs who will be benched in other weeks?

    If newcastle doesnt blank in 31, maxim wud have been a good choice

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Westwood 5.4m

  12. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Guys,
    G2G or any changes needed here? 1FT £4.6 ITB

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA, Lundstrom, Soy (Rico, Holgate)
    KDB, Traore, Salah, Grealish, (Cantwell)
    Aguero, Ings, DCL.

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do DCL to Jimenez

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

      Aguero to jimenez

  13. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any Aguero owners who have Jimenez & Ings too?

    What are you planning to do with him this week I dont see any standout replacement I want?

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

    Wild card. How does it look

    Pope, Foster
    VVD, Gomez, Boly, Stephens, Egdan
    KDB, Martial, Salah, Grealish, Norwood
    Ings, Jimenez, Vardy

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

      I like it, only missing TAA imo

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

        Thanks. I can't quite get the budget to fit him in!

        1. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Downgrade Norwood and VVD to TAA?

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

      Why WC this week, doesnt make any sense..

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

    Would you keep and play Mahrez this week (burn a FT) Which means you’d only get to put out 10 players for the BGW (no keeper)

    Or sell Mahrez and get Jiménez in this week. And have 11 players in the BGW.

    In other word, who scores more, Jimenez this week and a playing keeper in the blank.

    Or Mahrez this week (Jiminez next) and no playing keeper in the blank.

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

      Sell and get Jimenez. Better fixture, sure starter, and you get 11 players in BGW. Mahrez will probably start against Leicester tho, but it will be a tough game for City i reckon.

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

        Let’s hope so. That’s the way I am leaning.
        Many thanks

  16. Abra Dubravka
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Jack Stephens
    B) Lund (have Henderson in goal)
    C) Lascelles?

  17. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ryan (Mcgov)
    TAA, Aurier, Stephens (Rico, Soy)
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Sarr (Cantwell)
    Firmino, Auba, Ings

    1FT, 0.8 ITB - any thoughts?

    A. Sarr to Armstrong
    B. Sarr to traore
    C. Other?
    D. Save

  18. aleksios
    • 8 Years

    Anythinf worth a hit here? 0.1itb.

    --Hendo
    --TAA--VVD--Boly
    --Salah--KDB--Grealish--Madds
    --DCL--Kun--Ings

    --Stekel--Lund--Dunk--Cant.

    Thanks guys .

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

      Nah, GTG

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

    Scratch the above query.
    I’ve found a way to get 11 out. Holgate out and Taylor in. Which funds McGovern to McCarthy. With 2FT. So I can keep Mahrez.

    However, the question remains.

    Who scores more
    Jimenez vs Norwich and Spurs
    Or
    Mahrez vs Leicester and Blank

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Banking on Mahrez starting?

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

        Possible benched yeah.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          No chance he'll be benched v us.

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

    Most attacking Wolves defender?

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

      Doherty?

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

        Aguero/Lundstram to Jimenez/Doherty worth -4?

        Bad defence, Rico, Holgate, Taylor and TAA

        1. Max City
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          No

  21. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on benching Son this week with the hope of getting some DGW news next week?

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

      Mourinho thinks he's out for the season.

    1. Max City

      I won't have lundstram or fernandes if I WC'd now

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

      Swap Lundstram for another sheff u defender

  23. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is DCL to Jimenez worth a -4?

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

      Not for me

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best combo on WC?

    A. Button, Robertson
    B. McCarthy, VVD
    C. Allison, Boly

    Henderson my other keeper

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B as you wud need the other keeper for SU blanks

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

  25. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Son to ??

    Martial, Bruno or Richa and why?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not really keen on any of those options tbh. Martial.

  26. Max City
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    With Foster my only playing GK, is bringing in someone like Dubravka or Pope worth a -4?

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would not take a hit for a keeper

  27. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which teams are playing in GW31?

  28. fridge
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez > Martial for free?

  29. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How likely is Williams to get regular minutes? I'm looking at bringing a cheap defender in for Lund who will largely stay on my bench, but would prefer it if they get regular minutes. If not Williams, who should I be looking at? 4.2m max so that I can bank some cash. (lund SP at 4.8).

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C Taylor at 4.2

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

      Taylor

      1. fish&chips
