    If money no issue, bring Barnes or Maddison? (mount also an option)

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

      Maddison

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      Maddison, anyone pushing barnes as the better option, want it to believe he is, as a budget option, but he just isnt.

      1. Silecro

        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've brouht Barnes once this season, somewhere around GW15, was a big mistake 😀

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

          Not saying barnes cant get points, just that as an option, for me maddison is much better one.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison although he’s v streaky in FPL terms

  2. FPL-Albion
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guita (Martin)
    TAA Robbo Soy Lascelles (Rico)
    Salah Traore Jorginho (KDB Grealish)
    Jimenez Ings Aubi

    Which transfer you reckon guys?
    A) Aubi > Vardy
    B) Grealish > Barnes

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

      B

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    Im doing grealish to barnes as one of my 2 moves But could be priced out if grealish drops tonight.

    Would you risk barnes move now - or wait to see if any leaked team news tomorrow....my tranfer plans would be up the creek if grealish drops tonight ??

    Thanks

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s so annoying isn’t it. I got stung with early transfer last GW (son) so I’m not sure either.

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im very very surprised If Barnes doesnt start... He was benched last game because vs ManCity strategy. I did the same move

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

        Just looking at fplstats... grealish was -111 a little earlier and i thought that looks odd....
        Now - 100.1

        So who knows if he will drop....

    3. FPL-Albion
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon he will go down tonight?

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

        See above

        1. FPL-Albion
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ha not very conclusive is it

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

            No!!!

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pull the trigger or wait? Both could possibly drop.

    Son+Grealish >> Bruno+Barnes (-4)?

    Leaving this team & MITB to upgrade defence next GW.

    McCarthy
    TAA / Soy / Aurier
    Salah(C) / Traoré / Barnes / Bruno
    Vardy / Jiménez / Ings
    (McGov. Rico. KDB*. Lunds*)

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pull the trigger if you can't handle the likely price changes

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

    What to do here guys? 2FTs and 0.3itb:
    Henderson (Button)
    TAA Soy Boly Stephens (Williams)
    Salah Mane Cantwell (KDB Grealish)
    DCL Vardy Ings

  6. Jones Town
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I've got a lot of money tied up in non players this weekend - who to drop?

    Aguero
    KDB
    Auba
    Grealish
    Lund

    Was thinking Aguero and Lund plus one more probably? KDB?!

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

      Lund for sure.. then prob kun next on the list for me.

  7. jason_ni

    Fpl stats broken?
    They are showing alexis Sanchez as a fast riser in price(2 arrows up!)
    Suppose he did set up lukaku tonight, could be in for some form.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Typical Man U fans 🙂

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

      I've got him in, need some differentials, way behind.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        🙂

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Price changes in this game must be the most annoying part. Needs to be made more transparent surely!!!

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

      Because everyone needs to buy the player going up 0.1

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t they just confirm if they will or won’t be rising that night though? It’s just guessing at the minute

  9. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yay or nay?

    KDB +Gomez TO Mane+6.0 defender =-4

    KDB back for Burnley?

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

    Seriously considering Jimenez, Grealish >> Jota, Bruno

    Exact money

    Talk me out of it....

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dont

  11. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on why Martial is out?

    Any chance he's going to be fit?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      OGS said he was injured in training and doesn’t know how bad it is yet

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

      Can't trust anything Ole says anyway regarding injuries.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Muscle injury in training yesterday, unknown how serious, ole has history of talking crap when it come to injuries, last time martial had a niggle he was out for about 7 weeks.

    4. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So keep martial?

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo do you prefer over next few?

    A) Cantwell, Doherty (sell Grealish)
    B) Grealish, Taylor (sell Cantwell)

    Other mids are:
    Salah, (KDB), Fernandes, Barnes

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

    a.Traore to Mount, play Dendoker
    b. Lundstram To Boly, play Traore

    both are for hit sadly

  14. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi, Is there a chance of a dgw29 for man city?
    In other words, should i transfer out aguero?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely at this stage

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thx so kun shall leave my team...

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal out would help chances.

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

        I thought if arsenal was out it is pretty much certain that there would be a DGW?

  15. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So Traore seems to be on the bench next GW and Jimenez & Jota starting 100%, right?

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

      Not 100%, they can all play together and have done many times this season.

  16. Wild Rover

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why does the site still say your post is being reviewed and will appear shoertly when we all know that it has been binned, nobody will review it and there has never been a single post that has been posted after review?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And why can’t we amend typos?

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In case anyone gets drunk and comes out online, so they can't go back.

        Not really the point

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

          I'm just wondering, it happened once to me, and I had no idea why.
          What are the rules?

      They are occasionally put back on! But the majority of comments that are reviewed have a banned word in them or something that needs to be taken off.

      Let me know if this isn't working properly, if there's something you should be live that isn't!

    Arsenal fans in particular - thoughts on Ozil?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s woeful. Never takes responsibility and never shoots.

  18. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Arsenal lose tonight surely keep Mahrez instead of Traore, correct?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why does arsenal losing mean you keep mahrez?

      Am I missing something?

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        City could have a dgw29 as a result.

  19. Ci Siamo

    With this Martial injury nonsense is Martial to Bruno still sideways or an upgrade?

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

      Upgrade regardless of injury, imo.

      There’s a lot more ways for him to score points.

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

      An upgrade even if Martial is fit, Bruno is amazing and on all set pieces.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I dont think there is much between the 2 players, and was going to hold tony m, but if he is injured, I may well.move him on, either bruno or richarlison

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

      On paper it is a sideways move but can we afford to have another player (potentially) missing. without the injury it's a luxury transfer and one i'm considering

  20. Henning
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmm Bruno in for Martial for free?
