    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, 2 months ago

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

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

        Yeah
        Hopefully they've got it right

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I am also thinking of perez rather than barnes.

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

            Nice 🙂

  2. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Martial to:
    A) Bruno
    B) Richarlison

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

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

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

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          We know if Norwich loses in the cup.

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Before GW 29 deadline.
          Spurs beating Norwich is needed.

      3. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months 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
      • 8 Years

      Easy B

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

      a

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

      B for me

  3. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So last night arsenal defeat means DGW 29 for arsenal?

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

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

  4. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody going perez rather than barnes?

  5. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, or Evans if possible

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Or Wolves Defs.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

        Depends if you have subs or not.

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

          He has 9 this GW.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            True

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

  8. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

  9. bigdip

    FH Team. Pls help with blanks

    Schmeichel
    TAA Taylor __

    3. Creativ3
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pereira & Mooy?

      Really like Pereira this week.

  10. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

  11. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

      yep

    2. pricycle
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd play cant personally

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

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

        1. b91jh
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

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

  15. mranonymous
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who is more nailed, Snoddy or Armstrong?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Armstrong

  16. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years

      Oops haha

  17. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      2
      No FH

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

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

          Ok, I have a couple of Southampton too then

  18. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      A) Soy

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

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

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

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

      2. bigdip
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

          Jack Stephens then

  19. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My armband is on Firmino at the moment.

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

      He’s due

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

      I’m thinking Firmino to Vardy.
      Madness?

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

        What happened last time Vardy played on a Friday?

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

    Worth moving Traore to Bruno for -4?

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

    Firmino to Vardy
    Y or N ?

  22. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

    Do you expect Traore to start this weekend?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

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

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

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

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

  24. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Barnes or Perez?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I chose perez. Still thibk he is better than barnes

  25. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

  26. KUN+10

    1. Pukki Party

  29. Eleven Hag
