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

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Finally...

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Yup. glad I didnt bring him in.

    3. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      One more game before he’s out!

    4. Athletico Underachieving
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

    Start

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

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I don't trust Saints defense, so Duffy

    2. Gunneryank
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      The Duffman.

    3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

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

    4. ZTF
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Cheers guys

  3. iL PiStOlErO
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      Coin flip.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

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

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Agree, will play Livra like intended. Cheers.

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Who to cap?

    Antonio or Son???

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Son

  5. Get up ya bum
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Ol man Ronnie won't match Salah and Kane imo

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

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

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Burden of proof 😆 😆

    2. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      have Salah and Kane matched CR7 past stats already?

  6. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Why is Livramento favoured over Duffy here?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      More shelf life.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Better long term pick apparently

    3. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      We do love us wingbacks

  7. ZTF
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

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

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

    Is Bertrand nailed on for Leicester when fit?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      No

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

  9. fplfansss

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

    Foster, Deeney, Brownhill, White

  10. trafalgarlaw
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      Dallas.

      Tsimi and Robertson look like they will be rotated.

  11. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Is Christensen likely to be a regular starter?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Should start 3/4 of games imo

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks mate

  12. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      You live in the UK?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Nah, India

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      Save. Captain thoughts?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

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

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      C

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

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

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

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

    5. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

        Crazy times.

    6. NZREDS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      G2G! Antonio captain from that lot

  14. tokara
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    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, 24 days ago

      Not sure what code you are talking about?

          Can you link the page it on?

  16. tokara
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

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

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days 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, 24 days 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

      1. MaestroMostar
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Who would you bench from my starting 11?

        1. Gunneryank
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Amartey.

  18. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Lukuku v ronaldo v Kane from GW4?

    1. 272MK
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Im looking at Antonio and DCL first. Much cheaper

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      Sounds decent this GW.

  20. Lucky Z
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Ronaldo will take penalties from Bruno, right?

    1. OLLY G
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Surely

    2. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      like Portugal National Team

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        doesnt Bruno take their penalties?

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          no, I guess not. Thanks google.

  21. OLLY G
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Buy Raphinha or save the 0.6m and get Harrison?

    Thanks.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Raph

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Raphinha even without looking at comparison tool.

    3. Gunneryank
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

    Bruno and Pogba gonna get like 400 assists with Ronaldo

    1. tokara
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days 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

  24. HEY JUDE
    • 3 Years

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I dont see why not

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      4th place finish

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Pep joining Ronnie at Man Utd…

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        lol imagine

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      So low they'll lose to Arsenal?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        They wont get that bad

      2. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Pep could play and they’d still beat Arsenal

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

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

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

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

  26. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

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

  27. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

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

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      12.5

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Cheer Catastrophe…and Fwd or Mid you reckon?

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          FWD!

        2. GB81
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Definitely a forward

    2. Avery
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      12M FWD

  28. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

    Salah out for -4 for Son? :p

    Had 2 FTs used on Benrahma and Sanchez in.

    Thx!

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

        Cheers - probably would WC next week for Ronnie :p

  30. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

      keep Bruno

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        It’s him or Salah out and have Pogba…
