    An early team news for tonight's game will be very very helpful.
    Would love to know beforehand that Perez is starting......

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It seems Perez starts https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news/

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

        Yeah
        Hopefully they've got it right

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I am also thinking of perez rather than barnes.

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

            Nice 🙂

  2. sunzip14

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Martial to:
    A) Bruno
    B) Richarlison

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

      A

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

      It's a close call mate.
      Richarlison probably just because he'll have a GW 31 fixture (if you ain't using FH in GW 31)

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

        My heart says A though (didn't need to say that 😉 )

      2. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What needs to happened that Everton plays gw 31?
        When we will know that?

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

          We know if Norwich loses in the cup.

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

          Before GW 29 deadline.
          Spurs beating Norwich is needed.

      3. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, with no WC i am for not using FH in 31. If City dgw happens, will have to use next ft on them. So, might have to get Rich in looking at 31.

    3. gergin

      Easy B

    4. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      a

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

      B for me

  3. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So last night arsenal defeat means DGW 29 for arsenal?

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

      Nope
      Just increased the probability though according to twitter.
      I don't think so personally.

  4. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anybody going perez rather than barnes?

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

    I'm a bit nervous for tonight - Soyuncu is the only Leicester player I own.

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

      I own none. Not a bit nervous. We'll be grand 🙂

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    9 players this GW, worth doing Lundstram to Soy (-4)?

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

      Yep, or Evans if possible

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Or Wolves Defs.

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

      Can you Stretch up to Evans ?
      He's a real goal threat in the box !!

      Remember it's -2 not -4 this GW 😉

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

        Depends if you have subs or not.

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

          He has 9 this GW.

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

            True

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

      No. 1 Leicester goal and you're on a -2.

  7. BNMC
    • 4 Years

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

    Is caballero an option? Or will Kepa eventually reclaim the gloves for Chelsea?

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

      I don't see Chelsea getting too many clean sheets, despite the good fixtures.

  9. bigdip

    FH Team. Pls help with blanks

    Schmeichel

    3. Creativ3
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira & Mooy?

      Really like Pereira this week.

  10. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero -> Vardy then gtg? Would give me -

    Mccarthy
    TAA Robbo Taylor Lascelles
    Salah Martial Hayden
    Vardy Ings Jimenez

    Henderson KDB Fleck Egan (0ft 2.8m)

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

      Vardy seems risky, hasn't scored in a very long time now

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

        Fixtures are about to turn.. Let's hope Vardy finds his scoring-boots.

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

        Hasn't scored this decade. Maybe he's forgotten how to.

  11. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fleck to Barnes/Perez for a hit to replace Cantwell in the starting XI?

    1. bigdip
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yep

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

      I'd play cant personally

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

    which great players are you hoping join the premier league next year?? Personally I'd love to see Mbappe, Sancho, Haaland and Werner and reckon 2 of those 4 will be in FPL next year at least!

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

      If Mbappe is going anywhere it's Madrid.
      Sancho leaving seems inevitable.
      Too soon for Haaland to leave Dortmund.
      Werner would be huge for Liverpool but how would Klopp fit him in - move Firmino to number 10 and play 4231?

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

      Can't see any of them beyond Werner . . . nobody can afford MBappe, not even Nike. Sancho's options are limited for the time being (depending on who gets CL football). Halland will be abroad for at least three more years.

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

    Is there any 'Digne will definitely start versus United's update other than his injury isn't too bad?

  14. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    FH Team G2G? (0.1 ITB)

    Schmeichel
    TAA Taylor Doherty
    Salah Mane (c) Bruno Barnes
    Jiminez Vardy DCL

    1. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Should select a punty FWD rather than DCL as you are on a FH... such as Vydra or Ighalo.

      1. bigdip
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        you're right. thanks. vydra or ighalo? and is ighalo definitely starting?

        1. b91jh
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think Vydra has a higher chance to start if Martial's injury is not severe.

  15. mranonymous
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more nailed, Snoddy or Armstrong?

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

      Armstrong

  16. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years

  17. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    At this stage, how many gw31 players do you have (assuming Norwich vs Everton goes on)? Are u planning to go FH31?

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

      2
      No FH

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How many games are guaranteed for GW31? Just the 2? If so, i just have 2 wolves

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

        3, Everton/Norwich or Spurs/S'ton would be 3 at least.

        1. Bring back Rafa
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ok, I have a couple of Southampton too then

  18. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which 5.0 defender should I bring in in the blank below for FH team?
    Schmeichel
    TAA Doherty __
    Salah Mane (c) Bruno Barnes
    Jiminez Vardy Vydra

    A) Soy
    B) Dunk
    C) Lascelles
    D) Aurier
    E) Stephens

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

      A) Soy

      1. bigdip
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        that means doubling up on Leicester (have scheimechel), is that safe?

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

          I think it’s safe v Norwich. Pukki Party has gone flaccid.

      2. bigdip
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I realised soy can't be an option. I have 3 Leicester players already lol

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

          Jack Stephens then

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

    My armband is on Firmino at the moment.

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

      He’s due

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking Firmino to Vardy.
      Madness?

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

        What happened last time Vardy played on a Friday?

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

    Worth moving Traore to Bruno for -4?

    1. bigdip
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      don't think so playing away from home and with martial and rash out

  21. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino to Vardy
    Y or N ?

  22. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    FH Team G2G? I'm thinking of replacing Aurier with Mee or Stephens

    Schmeichel
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Salah Mane (c) Bruno Barnes
    Jiminez Vardy Vydra

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do you expect Traore to start this weekend?

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

      Nope

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who wud be your replacement that cud also feature in gw31?

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

          Depends on budget. Cantwell is probably the only decent choice.

  24. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes or Perez?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I chose perez. Still thibk he is better than barnes

  25. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Rico starts for Bournemouth? Can't find any news.

  26. KUN+10

    1. Pukki Party
