    Greenwood's starting place judt went up in flames with the return of Ronaldo.

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Finally...

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yup. glad I didnt bring him in.

    3. Puntillimon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      One more game before he’s out!

    4. Athletico Underachieving
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So annoying, my plan was always to ship to Raph after next week so just going to hope he plays…

  2. ZTF
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start

    A. Duffy (EVE H)
    B. Livramento (NEW A)

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don't trust Saints defense, so Duffy

    2. Gunneryank
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The Duffman.

    3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yup. Duffy this week. Livramento may be a long term keeper though. Duffy is not,.

    4. ZTF
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys

    5. Gabbiadini
      • 7 Years

      b

  3. iL PiStOlErO
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    GTG? Or maybe play Bisso instead of Livra?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coufal Livramneto
    Salah Bruno Mahrez Maddison
    Antonio(C) Ings

    Steele Bisso Scarlett White

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Coin flip.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Livra more upside, CS potential and even an attacking return if real lucky.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agree, will play Livra like intended. Cheers.

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who to cap?

    Antonio or Son???

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son

  5. Get up ya bum
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ol man Ronnie won't match Salah and Kane imo

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Burden of proof is on you to prove he can't

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Burden of proof 😆 😆

    2. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      have Salah and Kane matched CR7 past stats already?

  6. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why is Livramento favoured over Duffy here?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      More shelf life.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Better long term pick apparently

    3. Puntillimon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      We do love us wingbacks

  7. ZTF
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Where do people think Pogba will start with Ronaldo in the side?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing changes. He'll be on the left some games and CM some games

  8. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Bertrand nailed on for Leicester when fit?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  9. fplfansss

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Amartey
    Mahrez, Benrahma, Bruno, Salah
    Ings, Antonio

    Foster, Deeney, Brownhill, White

  10. trafalgarlaw
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start Tsimikas or Dallas ?

    Sanchez
    Shaw Dias Coufal Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Son
    Antonio Ings Toney

    Foster Dallas Bissouma White

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dallas.

      Tsimi and Robertson look like they will be rotated.

  11. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Christensen likely to be a regular starter?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Should start 3/4 of games imo

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate

  12. Holmes
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Reminder for myself : Just because he has joined the league doesn't mean other players will stop scoring points. Don't get overhyped!!!

    Oh and I may finally be able to watch him play live for the first time 😆

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You live in the UK?

      1. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nah, India

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Part of Ronnie’s contract I understand….no other players in the league allowed to score FPL points.

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this bunch?
    Another busy week so out of the loop.

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling (Veltman, Tsimikas)
    Salah, Bruno, Greeny, Benrahma (Browny)
    Ings, Ant, Toney

    1 FT, 1m in bank

    a) change a defender
    b) change a forward
    c) save
    d) something else

    Cheers

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Save. Captain thoughts?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Only really have 2 choices unless I get Son/Kane.

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Antonio could be a good shout this week for you. I've gone Son (C) and Antonio (VC) (have Bruno and Salah)

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Get Ronaldo in. Apparently he is "super human." 🙂

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all, seems like FPL has changed a bit this last week.
      Might even WC in GW4 😕

    5. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I had pretty much identical team and was looking to save. Got too excited with Ronaldo coming in so I went Salah -> Son and I will WC for GW4.

      Now trying to figure out whether to get DCL/Cresswell/Grealish in for a hit!

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Crazy times.

    6. NZREDS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      G2G! Antonio captain from that lot

  14. tokara
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Signed back up to FFS and the bonus tools. I received a code but no instructions. What’s the process to activate it?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure what code you are talking about?

      1. Francescoli

          Can you link the page it on?

  16. tokara
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    When CR7 was tested in Juve, his fitness was said to be 20yr+

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Most 20 year olds are lazy slobs though that can only run a few yards.. Hardly much of a comparison.

      1. tokara
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        i dont think they compare it like that lol

        CR7 vs Haaland would be a good comparison but Haaland has the genetics of a monster

        CR7 returning is like Lebron James returning to Cleveland

  17. MaestroMostar
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez
    Coufal Duffy Amartey Dier
    Salah Bruno Son Grealish
    Antonio(C) Toney

    Foster Iheanacho Bissouma Tsimikas

    G2G or sub someone out for Iheanacho? Cheers!

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Start nachos

      1. MaestroMostar
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who would you bench from my starting 11?

        1. Gunneryank
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Amartey.

  18. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lukuku v ronaldo v Kane from GW4?

    1. 272MK
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Im looking at Antonio and DCL first. Much cheaper

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Already got Antonio and thinking about ings to DCL. Tricky to fit in Kane, lukuku or ronaldo but love one !

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am working on a team with Salah, CR7 (assuming 12.5), Lukaku & TAA

      Sanchez (Steele)
      TAA Shaw Ayling White Livramento
      Salah, Raph, Benny, Gray, Gilmore
      CR7, Lukaku, A.Armstrong

      0.3itb (with my current TV and team)

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years

  19. 272MK

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds decent this GW.

  20. Lucky Z
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo will take penalties from Bruno, right?

    1. OLLY G
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely

    2. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      like Portugal National Team

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        doesnt Bruno take their penalties?

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          no, I guess not. Thanks google.

  21. OLLY G
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Buy Raphinha or save the 0.6m and get Harrison?

    Thanks.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Raph

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Raphinha even without looking at comparison tool.

    3. Gunneryank
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Raph. Dude isn't even at his best yet. Brazil call-up boosts his confidence even more.

  22. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno and Pogba gonna get like 400 assists with Ronaldo

    1. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      possible, CR7 is a goal poacher

      we need presence in the box and we have one now

  23. Pukki Party
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Good to go here? Saving a transfer to get more info on Grealish and Barnes and Lukaku/Kane.

    4m itb 1ft.

    Guaita
    Cresswell vc Reguilon Lowton
    Salah Son C Grealish Barnes Raphinha

    4.0 Fernandez Tsimikas Davis

  24. HEY JUDE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane play org not???

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I dont see why not

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Citys attempted signing of a striker this window has been shambolic, and why has Pep said he is leaving lol. City morale gonna be at an all time low, no chance they win this season.

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      4th place finish

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pep joining Ronnie at Man Utd…

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        lol imagine

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

      So low they'll lose to Arsenal?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They wont get that bad

      2. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pep could play and they’d still beat Arsenal

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          honestly, he'd be better than any of their currently available left-backs

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Well most of them are in prison, which doesn’t help….

  26. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Toney to DCL done. And now DCL maybe out! Great.......

  27. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What’s the general consensus on here about Ronnie’s price?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12.5

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheer Catastrophe…and Fwd or Mid you reckon?

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          FWD!

        2. GB81
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely a forward

    2. Avery
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12M FWD

  28. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This GW only:

    A) Toney & Livramento
    B) Toney & Cresswell (-4)
    C) Grealish & Livramento (-4)
    D) DCL & Livramento (-4)
    E) Raphinha & Livramento (-4)

    Cheers!

  29. harrysponge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah out for -4 for Son? :p

    Had 2 FTs used on Benrahma and Sanchez in.

    Thx!

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Free maybe (yes if WC next week). Don't fancy it for a hit.

      1. harrysponge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers - probably would WC next week for Ronnie :p

  30. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Toney > Ronnie (if 12.5 & Fwd) & Bruno > Harrison/other 6.0m mid seems like the most sensible move

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      keep Bruno

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s him or Salah out and have Pogba…
