  2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Decided not to go with Vardy and pulled the trigger on Jrod to KDB

    Martinez
    Justin Chilwell Masuaku
    KDB(c) Son Jota Fernandes
    Kane DCL Bamford

    Mendy Grealish Kilman Lamptey

    Might take Chilwell out for Kilman

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I wouldn't bench Chilwell.

      1. SmasherLagru
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        I wouldn't bench grealish either

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Why is Grealish on the bench?

      1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        I think he wont do well against West Ham .They play 5-4-1 and sit in playing on the counter

    McCarthy/ Martinez
    Konsa/ Dallas

    1. Pukki Blinders

      Mccarthy Dallas

        No faith in a Villa clean sheet then haha

  5. Atwood
    • 15 Years

    2FT's and 1.6 spare
    Thinking Zaha > Jota
    Hold the extra FT or anything worth doing?

    Martinez
    Robertson - Chilwell - Justin
    Grealish - Zaha - Son - Fernandes
    Kane - DCL - Wilson

    KWP - Dallas - Bissouma

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Do Son to KDB while you’re at it

  6. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Mccarthy
    Cancelo Dias Coufal
    Mane KDB Bruno Grealish
    DCL Richa Watkins

    Forster | Bissouma N.Phillips Lamptey

    0.4 itb, 1 FT... any moves that stand out?
    Don’t think I can field 3 defenders if Cancelo is benched this week but ah well

    1. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I think I’d hold. Richarlison could be a great differential this week.

      Mane looked knackered the other night though.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        May go Mane to Salah to play it safe... fear a benching

    1. Letsgo!

      seriously asking this question? obvious choice isnt it

      1. NOMONEY
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        but is it? i will most likely play martinez but i can see some merit in playing BPF (should have plenty of save points against city attack etc., like lloris in the last game)

    2. FCSB
      • 9 Years

      BPF

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Have no City.

        Other option is Zaha to KDB!!!

        1. Chelsea91
          • 7 Years

    Bruno (C), Son, Grealish, Ziyech, Burke
    Kane, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Bamford

    1FT, 1.7m.

    A) Save
    B) Kane -> Vardy
    C) Ziyech + Kane -> KDB + Richarlison -4
    D) Son + Kane -> KDB + Cancelo -4
    E) Other suggestions

    1. Chelsea91

      A

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        I'm also inclined to save, thanks!

    2. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I almost have an identical team with just the one transfer this week. I just feel like having 2 spurs over this fixture run is going to be too much. Cant seem them smashing any of the teams while City's fixtures despite their form are just too good to ignore. As well as Vardy over the next few as well. I'm contemplating taking a hit this week to attack the fixtures and bring in Vardy and KDB for the likes of Kane and Son. Might be a little too much for your liking but I think at least one of those moves is justified. I'd say keep one of Kane or Son if you must but one should be heading out. Wont need that much cover for Spurs over the next little bit

  15. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Guys have son kane Bruno Robbo as premium assets..

    A) Kane to vardy free
    B) son lamptey to kdb kilman -4
    C) kane bissou to brew kdb -4 (3-5-2)
    D) kane son to vardy kdb -4
    E) save

    Suggestions needed guys..

    1. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      B

    2. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Definitely not B. What's the point in losing Lamptey? He's out for one fixture and it's one you wouldn't want to play him in anyway. I'm looking at D myself. Want to attack those fixtures for City and Vardy. Dont think there is a point in holding two Spurs players over their fixture run. If you feel inclined to hold one then I would say be a little more passive and at least do A and captian Vardy this week.

    Thoughts on this fellas?

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Looks not bad, but personally I think it's little bit too risky without Vardy/KDB/Salah this week.

    2. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Agree with Salan. You could be in for a long gameweek without the likes of Vardy, KDB or Salah which everyone will captain this week. I would look to move on one of the spurs boys and captain one of the above mentioned big hitters for this week. Whatever works best for your team balance moving forward

  18. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Would you still go with DCL on a WC with Digne out? I’ve never owned DCL so have no value tied up there.

    1. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      yes

    2. Bojam
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Yes! Though Everton's fixtures toughen up quite soon. Still an excellent pick IMO.

  19. FCSB

    5 years, 10 days ago

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Dallas

    2. Saiss Kane >> Cancelo / Dias Vardy

    Thanks all

    1. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years

      Hold kane, Captain options for Arsenal game.

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        id like vardy

    2. Bojam
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      See my post at the bottom of the last page. I have a similar dilemma. I'm leaning towards just Mitchell to Dias this week. And saving the other FT for next week when we have more data on Spurs (are their attacking returns sustainable in tougher fixtures?) versus City / Pool attacking assets.

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Logical this mate. Thinking along the same lines. See my drivel post!

        1. Bojam
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          Cool! Feels like I'm in the minority on here but patience has really paid off after a terrible start. So I'm inclined to be a bit cautious and use the few FTs we get wisely rather than just jumping from one good asset to another.

          1. FCSB
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 days ago

            do you have Vardy ?

            1. Bojam
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 days ago

              Nah. And not that interested. I mean he's clearly good but I feel like the interest at the moment largely revolves around one fixture vs Fulham. And I don't want to use a FT for a single week "punt". I reckon I'd want Kane back pretty quickly. If I lose him it would likely be to downgrade to say Bamford and hulk the midfield.

  20. FPL Alaska
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    A) Kane > Vardy (c) - Have Son
    B) Save FT (2 FT next week to bring Salah/Mane in)

    Martinez
    Robbo - Chilwell - Kilman
    KDB - Bruno - Son - Grealish
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    (Steer; Dallas, Bissouma, Lamptey)

  21. Fantasizer
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    get vardy or man city assets(kdb/sterling)?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      both?

    2. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      If I had to choose between, I would go Man City. But I am considering both.

    3. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I'm going for both as well. If I had to choose one then it would have to be City. Even though they are clicking now they have the potential to steam roll teams. Surely things will come together with this favorable fixture run and the likes of Aguero returning

  22. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    grealish ziyech asm. choose 2 to start?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I wouldn’t even consider benching grealish or ziyech

      1. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        okay will do

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Captain ?

    A) Vardy
    B) Sterling
    C) KDB
    D) Mane

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      A

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Probably A

  24. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Here are my issues...

    Want Vardy Salah KDB
    Dont want to sell Son or Kane

    Realistically it's get one of Salah or KDB and move on with a couch for hiding behind for the Leicester match.

    I don't want to sell the in form and top scoring two players in the league, I said I don't really see a Leicester mauling of Fulham as I dont see the weaker match up benefitting Fulham, AND, Salah looked poor yesterday AND Liverpool play away v Brighton.

    Having said all that I'm still confused.

    Stupid game!

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Benefitting Vardy and Leicester sorry!!!

    2. Bojam
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      I hear you! Facing a similar dilemma. Not interested in Vardy really. Seems like a transfer for just one week and FT;s are too scarce for that to make much sense imo. In your position (and mine), I'd be inclined to hold and wait a week for more data. KDB hasn't looked great or, at least, hasn't hauled since GW2. Salah scares me but I can ride that out for a week or two and assess my options I think.

      1. Salan
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Vardy not for just one week...

        1. Bojam
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          Fair enough. Not for me though. Just feel there are better options - e.g. Kane (does more, assists as well as goals, on pens, etc.) and cheaper players like Bamford who are racking up the points.

        V Brighton? Away?

    4. NOMONEY
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      i think keeping one of son or kane is sufficient, i myself will be keeping kane, as i see salah and kdb more of a threat than vardy, so i suggest son > salah or kdb

      1. NOMONEY
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        having said that i do have both kdb and vardy, currently going without salah

  25. pakornk

    Zaha to Jota for a -4?

    1. Stupendous

      What is the other move for free?

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Who is your first sub?

  26. Bad Kompany
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Captain Bruno or KDB?

    Man U have started to look like they did at the end of last season again. Bruno has been great, especially away. Southampton is no pushover but they should leave space behind which could work well for United. Although that will more benefit martial and rashford.

    Man city has struggled in attack but kun could be back. Kdb has also been involved in almost everything for city. Burnley is normally well organized defensively but Pope is out. They also have beaten them 5-0 in their last two home matches

    1. NOMONEY
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      has to be bruno

    2. Salan
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Close call. Either one is not wrong.

  28. bso

    Is Mitchell likely to start? Or is his time over?

    1. NOMONEY

      over

    2. Lignja

      look like over 2 me

    3. Bojam
      • 8 Years

      Time over I reckon. Or at least, too much of a risk to pin hopes of a start on him.

  29. Lignja

    How does this look? got this with hit tho, and sadly 0.1m short of KDB instead of Sterling...

        no, not rly will get this by seling Kane and Zaha for Vardy and Sterling
